After meeting Drogba, Xiao Yu gave Mark? David made a phone call and got the exact news that several big clubs were indeed in contact with Drogba and had also made offers for the Red Rebels. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

With the current situation of Drogba, with one year left in the contract, the transfer fee is unlikely to be high, at most 15 million pounds, this value is indeed low for Drogba, but first, because he couldn't play the main team last season, second, there are a lot of injuries, and third, his contract is about to expire, and the buyer will try to reduce the price as much as possible.

"Real Madrid's Baldano and AC Milan's Galliani are both hoping to get Drogba, with Real Madrid even offering Huntelaar in exchange." The Dutchman's debut season at Real Madrid has been a tragedy, and Real Madrid are now desperate to sweep him away.

Xiao Yu smiled a little wryly, Huntelaar's type of striker has no place in the Red Rebels at all, although his role in the penalty area is obvious, but the Red Rebels emphasize running, so including Huntelaar, including Vanney, the Red Rebels have never considered it, and even in Ismail's cultivation, the team has tried their best to avoid him from going down the old path of Vanney.

"Mark ......" Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided, "If in case, I am talking about if, Didier is really leaving, the transfer fee should not be set too rigidly, and it is acceptable to be lower." ”

Mark? David was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Xiao Yu meant, nodded and said: "I understand, I know how to do it, don't worry, I will take care of this matter, Didier is also my friend!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and hung up the phone.

There is an unwritten rule in European football, in addition to the top superstars, for first-tier stars and second-tier stars, transfer fees and annual salaries are two figures that buyers value very much.

It's like Drogba, assuming that if the Red Rebels stubbornly invite 15 million pounds and the other party brings in Drogba, at best, they can only give him the same salary as in the Red Rebels, and may even ask for a salary cut, which is why giants such as Real Madrid and AC Milan are hesitating.

But if the Red Rebels ask for a lower price, for example £10 million, then the buyer can use the extra £5 million to pay for Drogba's other costs, including the salary paid to him, so that Drogba's salary is guaranteed.

At the beginning, Barcelona wanted to lower Fabregas's transfer price, and one of the reasons was that as long as Fabregas cooperated with them to reduce the price, they could give Fabregas a higher personal treatment than in the Red Rebels, as well as the commission given to his agent, so that Fabregas had no loss, only the Red Rebels.

But Cesc Fabregas refused to do so, and this incident made the Red Rebels fans completely change their opinion of him, and truly treat him as their own!

And now, Xiao Yu has clearly given the direction, if Drogba wants to leave, the transfer fee is lower, and it doesn't matter if the club loses a little, just ensure Drogba's treatment and salary.

Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels did this, it can really be said that they have done their best!

…………………… At a time when there was a lot of uproar about transfers, the Premier League's overseas preseason competition also officially kicked off.

The first warm-up match was played against the Red Rebels against the Black Cats Sunderland.

Mourinho made a certain amount of changes to the starting lineup in this game, Drogba got the start, Ronaldo Jr., Messi and Kaka also started, Michael? Johnson and De Rossi formed a back two, with Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Curtis and Alves at the back, with Petr Cech in goal.

Sunderland have also spent a lot of money this season and the board is clearly hoping that Roy? Keane was able to take the team to the next level, and for that reason they brought in the high-performing centre-back Michael from Hull City? Turner, bringing in striker Darren from Tottenham? Bent, along with the addition of two talented young England youngsters from the Red Rebels' academy.

With other teams, including Chelsea, making little move, Sunderland have spent £40 million in the transfer market so far, which is a huge amount of money for a mid-table team.

The money is spent, and the fans naturally want something in return.

In this game against the Red Rebels, Roy? Keane played a defensive counterattack tactic, leaving a Darren in front? Bent defended, the player was very fast, and at the back was borrowing Michael? Turner, England's centre-back is physically strong and tough, with excellent headers and frontal defensive ability.

Although Roy? Keane's calculations were shrewd, and the fighting power of the Black Cats team has also improved a lot, but the Red Rebels are not a fuel-efficient lamp, Drogba started again, played 45 minutes, although he failed to score, but had a key assist to help Kaka score, leading Sunderland 0-1 in the first half.

In the second half, Mourinho changed the formation again, Aguero replaced Drogba, and the magic quartet played together on the pitch for 20 minutes, and in these 20 minutes, they scored twice against Sunderland's goal and rewrote the score to 0:3!

From the opening 20 minutes of the second half, it was proved that Aguero is more suitable for the current Red Rebels tactics than Drogba, but Drogba's characteristics also determine that his tactical role in the team is very prominent, and if he does not mind not playing the absolute main force, he will be a very suitable bench player.

The club also did not consider Drogba's salary cut in the contract extension, at least in the latest two-year contract, there was no mention of a salary cut, but after two years, it depends.

0:3 crushing defeat at the hands of the Red Rebels, Roy? Keane was frustrated by the game after the game, explaining his tactical intentions, while also admitting that he made mistakes in the center-back set-up, such as the slow turning speed of the two centre-backs and the fact that Sergio Aguero was always beaten by the Red Rebels when he came on the pitch.

Sunderland are currently keeping an eye on a homegrown centre-back in the Red Rebels' Academy, who made one appearance in the Carabao Cup last season and was an excellent performer in the development squad. Keane has been on the radar for a long time, and with he not getting a chance with the Red Rebels, the centre-back has characteristics that Sunderland lack.

There's no doubt that after the game, Roy? Keane found Mourinho for the first time and directly finalized the transfer, first on loan and then buyout, Keane couldn't stop laughing after he got it.

Although the reinforcements this season are not small, but Sunderland's home is there, and if they want to compete with the top giants such as the Red Rebels and Manchester City, Sunderland does not have that ability for the time being, so Keane's goal is not high, and the top 10 in the league is only.

In the second game of the Premier League's Middle East pre-season, Manchester City played Sunderland, and the result was that the Black Cats were tenacious throughout the game, and by Darren ? Bent had scored a goal but City eventually beat Sunderland 2-1 thanks to goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Donny van der Vaart.

As a result, two round-robin triangles have been played, with Sunderland losing both games and doomed to the bottom, while the title will be decided between the Red Rebels and Manchester City.

However, what is more unfavorable for the Red Rebels is that before and after the second game, two giants introduced by Manchester City have also arrived in Dubai, namely Brazilian captain Lucio who was brought in from Bayern for 10 million pounds, and Manchester City used the pound sterling to poach the left wing-back Kolarov from the Lazio team, for which Manchester City paid 20 million pounds.

When Van Gaal got these two players, he made a high-profile claim that Manchester City's backline had been remodeled, and the arrival of the two players could make Manchester City's backline strength climb at least one step.

Then, in this warm-up match against the Red Rebels, which attracted the attention of fans all over the world, Manchester City couldn't wait to put out their strongest lineup.

The Red Rebels are also very serious about the final warm-up game of the summer, because after this game, the team will leave Dubai and fly directly to London to prepare for this season's Community Shield, the Red Rebels' opponent is Chelsea, so in this game, Mourinho is almost an official game.

The goalkeeper is Petr Cech, the back line from left to right is Evra, Terry, Curtis and Alves, the double midfield is Cesc Fabregas and Essien, the front is Kaka, the two forwards are Ronaldo and Messi, and the single striker is Sergio Aguero.

Manchester City's starting goalkeeper was Gianluigi Buffon, with Kolarov, Campany, Lucio and Kolo at the back from left to right. Toure, the three midfielders are Van Bommel and Yaya? Toure and Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic and Tevez make up the attacking pairing.

Van der Vaart, who moved to Manchester City, was not like in his previous life, he was always a left-sided striker under Louis van Gaal, or a shadow striker and a midfielder, which was a position where he played well at Ajax, but in his previous life he dropped back more and was even more like an organisational midfielder at times.

Although it looks like 433, it is actually a formation with two backs and four players in the front court standing irregularly, and it is difficult to evaluate this set of formations, which is 433 if it is divided from the region.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City was also based on defense, after all, in the face of such a strong opponent as the Red Rebels, even if Van Gaal was full of energy, he also did not dare to hold it up, especially the behind-the-scenes boss Alfasime sat in the box with Xiao Yu and watched the game, he did not dare to be careless, but he still insisted on playing what he insisted on.

It is precisely because of this that Mourinho suddenly made adjustments after the team was unable to attack for a long time, signaling the team not to press up, not to grab too fiercely in the front, and give Manchester City some opportunities to play.

After a 0:0 in the first half that was fierce but did not score, the Red Rebels seemed to be a little weak in the second half, and Manchester City began to rise a little, but just when they were about to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, the Red Rebels suddenly pressed and scored two goals in one go.

Kaka and Messi's goals completely shattered Manchester City's dream, and also reminded Van Gaal that although the back line is star-studded, single out and judged, the strength is very strong, but the defensive system is not stable enough, and the players are not tacit enough to cooperate with each other.

Louis van Gaal himself was convinced of the defeat after the game, but he said both of the Red Rebels' goals were the result of a lack of chemistry between the City defenders and he believes the players will be able to overcome the problem as the game progresses.

As for Jose Mourinho, as the winner, he said he would not comment on Louis van Gaal's team and tactics.

However, in the game, Lucio is quite a general, and Kolarov's strength is undoubted, which makes the outside world still look forward to Manchester City's performance in the new season, and everyone hopes that they can break out in one fell swoop this season with the accumulation of previous seasons, threatening the status of the Red Rebels and Manchester United.

But in England, some southern media have begun to carry out so-called conspiracy theories, they believe that the strength of the teams in the north, especially Manchester, has gradually tilted the center of gravity of football in England from the south to the north, and there are four Premier League teams in Manchester alone, and each team is a strong contender for the Premier League title.

"If you count Blackburn, Liverpool, Everton and other teams, there is no doubt that the northern team will have a greater advantage in the new season of the Premier League!"

What is the reason for the strength of the northern team to improve steadily in recent seasons?

In addition to the massive influx of capital, there are also reasons for the success of the youth training system.

Since Xiao Yu and the Red Rebels were the main organizers of the northern youth training system, today's northern teams have begun to enjoy the benefits brought by this system, such as Everton, their investment is not high, but there are always so many players in the youth academy every year, which brings great help to the team and ensures the team's results.

In addition, teams such as Droysden and Blackburn have become a guarantee of the strength of their teams, at least in Blackburn's relegation battle last season, the 17-year-old central defender Phil? Jones was the biggest contributor, he was the team's best performer in relegation, and his current value has been pumped to more than £10 million.

Of course, the youth training system has now spread from the entire north to the south, and teams including London and other cities have adhered to youth training for many years, and I believe that in the coming season, they will also enjoy the fruits of youth training reform.

But for some teams, the youth team is one thing, whether or not they can reuse the youth system players, but it's another thing, if the team cuts the link from the youth team to the first team for the sake of results, and cuts off the hope of the youth team to play for the first team, then what is the role of the academy to cultivate more rookies?

Just like Chelsea, there is a great academy but no great first-team reserves, and this sadness has carried over from Carlo Ancelotti to Rijkaard.

Thankfully, Abbu has been on a diet this season, and Chelsea have made no moves throughout the summer, except for the free introduction of substitute goalkeeper Malcolm Turnbull from Middlesbrough, but Rijkaard has promoted a number of youth players from the Academy.

It is also seen as a major improvement for Chelsea by Rijkaard.

The key is whether he dares to use these young players in a result-determining game!
