Chapter 1072: Manchester City's Reinforcements

Milner has no objection to joining Manchester City, and in today's English football, as long as they are smart, few people will turn down Manchester City's invitation.

Because now everyone can see that Manchester City are ambitious, and they move frequently in the transfer market just to strengthen their strength. Secondly, Manchester City still has glory, and having him means having a championship.

So if you go to Manchester City, you can actually win the title.

It may not be attractive enough for those top players, but for a mid-level player like Milner, it is definitely a fatal temptation.

Everyone aspires to win the title, but can Aston Villa win the league?

Very difficult.

Even if you want to win the League Cup and FA Cup, you still have to count on the giants to take a nap or something.

But at Manchester City, it's not a problem.

Follow the glory, eat fragrant and drink spicy, are you afraid that there will be no champion?

Glory has only arrived at Manchester City and they have won three titles in two seasons – the FA Cup, the Community Shield and the Premier League.

There is at least one championship to win each season.

Who wouldn't want to go to such a team?

And Manchester City also gives a better salary package than Aston Villa.

So Milner decided to come to Manchester City without any hesitation.

All that's left is for Manchester City and Aston Villa to haggle over how much Milner is really worth.

Aston Villa will definitely not sell it to Manchester City cheaply, on the one hand, Manchester City is a foolish and rich Kaizi, on the other hand, Aston Villa knows very well why Manchester City is interested in Milner, because Milner is a local player in England, and this account is very valuable. In order to qualify for the Champions League, Manchester City will have to win Milner no matter how much money they have.

So in the Premier League, even if the level of local players is not particularly good, they are often able to sell for a lot of money.

This is what Chinese fans commonly call the "household registration book".

Manchester City were in talks with Milner and saw off second captain Dunn at the same time.

Centre-back Dunn didn't make many appearances for Manchester City last season, and was topped by Godin amid Vincent Kompany's multiple injuries. Godin's appearance was good, and Dunn couldn't have snatched a chance out of him anyway. After Kompany recovers from injury, he and Godin will have to compete for a chance to play, not to mention Dunn.

Staying at Manchester City, Dunn can still win the title. But Dunn is not willing to retire so early, he is still eager to play, so he chose to leave Manchester City and go to a team that is not strong, a team that may not be able to win the championship, and may not even be able to participate in European competitions, but can give him enough opportunities to play.

With Dunn gone, there are only three centre-backs left in City's regular line-up, with Richards able to play at centre-back, but more often than not, playing at right-back, alternating alongside Zabaleta.

So Manchester City had to find a centre-back, and Rafael Benitez took a fancy to Ghanaian-German player Jérôme Boateng, who plays in Hamburg.

The young black defender can play in a number of positions in central midfield, including right-back and centre-back.

In Benitez's opinion, it is a very good rotation player.

Boateng was put at centre-back at the 2008 UEFA Youth Championship by then-German youth team manager Hrubesch, a change that resulted in an excellent centre-back. Whether it is Barcelona's "Messi second" Bojan, or Italy's rising star Balotelli, or England's long-established "Little Tiger" Walcott, they all looked helpless in front of Boateng and couldn't find a chance to score. The excellent positioning and high-altitude ball advantage left the opponent with no chance to take advantage of it, especially in the group stage match between Germany and Finland, and Boateng's one-on-one defensive success rate was as high as 100%!

Germany have conceded just one goal in five games at the UEFA Youth Championships, thanks to Neuer's magical performance, as well as Boateng's excellent performance.

The addition of such a young centre-back to Manchester City will definitely improve the overall strength of Manchester City's backline, especially the depth of the bench, which allows Benitez to be more comfortable when arranging tactics.

Now it's up to Hamburg to let go of their hopes.

Benitez is trying to bring in more players with English household books, but the players in the team who have English household books are now wanting to leave......

It's also a headache for him.

Center Sturridge was originally a rotating center forward in the team, and most of the time he played as a substitute for Berbatov, ranking even ahead of Del Diyok.

So he made a lot of appearances last season, with a combined 28 starts and substitute appearances in the league.

But that will change with the arrival of Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic is here, Berbatov is going to play as a substitute, not to mention Sturridge?

Sturridge is still young, he doesn't want to be a substitute, he always wanted to be a starter, and he wanted to squeeze out Berbatov and become a starting center himself. But that goal didn't happen last season.

He wanted to continue working towards that goal this season, but Ibrahimovic arrived.

Sturridge will now have to not only overtake Berbatov, but also defeat Ibrahimovic......

Sturridge has already gone to Berbatov and hopes to make him the main center forward in the new season, not Berbatov, not Ibrahimovic, but him.

Benitez rejected him without even thinking about it.

So the next day, Sturridge's agent officially informed Manchester City that his players were unhappy with Manchester City and wanted to leave.

And soon the news of Sturridge's departure from Manchester City was soon known.

As a promising star cultivated by Manchester City themselves, Manchester City FC naturally does not want to let Sturridge go.

Because in Platini's policy, it is not only about the number of local players, but also the number of places in the team's youth training.

Therefore, Sturridge, who is not only a local player, but also a player who has been trained by the club's academy, is very valuable.

The two sides signed a new contract last season, with Sturridge and Manchester City renewing his contract until 2013.

So Manchester City FC are trying to keep Sturridge.

But no matter how much he persuaded Sturridge, the black boy just said, "Unless I am the main force." ”

The topic suddenly couldn't go on......

Sturridge is leaving, and he has no shortage of buyers in the transfer market. Because of his talent and ability, the first two seasons with Manchester City also showed good results, and there were a lot of goals.

He has no shortage of families. That's why Sturridge dared to blackmail the club with a transfer.

If the club really doesn't give him a main position, he is not afraid that he will not be able to leave, and he will continue to be worn by Benitez in the team......

Manchester City FC really can't understand where Sturridge's confidence to be a regular comes from...... When persuasion failed, they had no choice but to push Sturridge into the transfer market.

But Manchester City also have a principle, that is, they will never sell Sturridge cheaply.

Want to get the future of English football? Then you have to show enough sincerity!

Although the new season has not yet begun, Manchester City's every move in the transfer market is attracting attention. Because this team is so rich, they can theoretically buy any player in this world.

But if it's just money, it's okay, because some top players don't just think about financial factors when they transfer.

They also think about other things, such as honor and development prospects.

It's a problem that City has solved – and they've got glory.

Glory is simply a championship guarantee.

As long as the glory is not gone, Manchester City is a very competitive team for the title.

Such a team, with money and championships, can simply be invincible in the transfer market as long as they want to.

However, Manchester City's performance in the transfer market this summer is very quiet, not crazy at all, and completely inconsistent with the image of "nouveau riche" in people's minds.

Benitez has his own plans and believes City don't need to buy a lot of players every summer to prove their appeal in the transfer market. That's something that doesn't cost money.

Manchester City now have a big framework, glory, Sneijder and David Silva, Ibrahimovic are the main players in attack, in defense Matuidi, Lucio, Godin, Kompany are also very stable, goalkeeper Joe Hart is young, but he is improving quickly.

All City have to do now is to increase the thickness of the bench.

Buying too many players with the main strength is not necessary, but it will create an imbalance in the dressing room.

So in this year's transfer market, Manchester City has been very restrained.

He was worried about the negative impact of the World Cup on the team.

In the Manchester City team, there are many players who participated in the World Cup, and two of the main players played to the end, thinking that it was Sneijder, the core of the midfield of the Dutch national team, and the other was David Silva, the main player of Spain.

Both teams reached the final of the World Cup, with Spain beating the Netherlands to lift the tournament.

These two players will certainly not be in great form after the start of the new season.

There may be some ups and downs in the team's results during that time, and this time it will be up to the two players who did not play in the World Cup, Glory and Ibrahimovic......

Judging from the training camp, the training state of these two players is quite good, and their physical condition is also very good.

The only problem may be their relationship.

Will Glory and Ibrahimovic be together to create a spark.

Benitez also didn't know how Ibrahimovic and Glory would coexist peacefully.

But at least for now, it seems that there has been no conflict or friction between the two men, and Benitez hopes that this will never happen.
