football dynasty

After completing the transfer of Baines, Levi came to Chelsea again.

But this time it is not a bluff, but really ready to buy a player-Sean Wright Phillips!
When the England winger Wright was in elementary school, his favorite sport was not football, but netball. In middle school, he switched to rugby.At this time, he entered the local team coached by his father. This team is an amateur team and belongs to the community. Forty recommends Nottingham Football Academy.

In the summer of 1998, Phillips was 16 years old. He was playing football at the Nottingham Forest football school, but one afternoon, the club told him that he had better not engage in football. There was no future for him to continue as a player.

Hart, who was the head of the Nottingham Football School at the time and was later promoted to the club's head coach, said in a more subtle way, saying: "Your family lives in London, and it is too far to come to Nottingham for training."

But Phillips knew that the main reason for the club's suspicion of him was that he was too small.Such a stature is still the shortest in the Premier League - 166cm.

Phillips later recalled: "Many people said that I was too young to play football. Fortunately, my parents and many friends gave me great encouragement, which made me regain my confidence."

After Nottingham Forest kicked him out, Rafferty still maintained confidence in Phillips. In the summer of 1998, he was recommended to Manchester City, which was still in League One at the time.

The then head coach Joe Roll saw his potential and bravely absorbed the little man into the football academy.

After spending a year in the youth team, Sean Wright-Phillips was promoted to the first team and began to play for Manchester City's first team. He played 6 league games for Manchester City in 153 seasons and scored 26 goals. ,Outstanding.

With his outstanding performance in Manchester City, Sean Wright Phillips won the appreciation of Chelsea. The Blues spent 2005 million pounds to sign him in 2500, and Sean Wright Phillips also returned to his hometown of London.

However, in the three seasons at Chelsea, Sean Wright Phillips' performance was not very stable. There were both bright moments and sleepwalking time, so it was difficult for him to win the main position under Mourinho.Sean Wright Phillips played 82 league games in Chelsea's three seasons, but only scored 4 goals.

Scolari came to the Blues this season, but conflicts broke out with Wright soon, so the Blues immediately put Wright on the transfer market.

Levi rushed to quote immediately. Although Wright was not outstanding, he was cost-effective.

Wright is a player with registered permanent residence, he is in the golden age of his career (27 years old), and the price is not high. It is even easier to persuade Wright to join Manchester City.After all, Wright's career started in Manchester City, and he spent seven years in Manchester City, and his feelings are carried.

This transfer was quickly reached, 900 million pounds, equivalent to 80 million euros.

Compared with Chelsea spending 500 million pounds to buy Wright three years ago, this transfer fee is already very good.

After reaching the transfer, Chelsea took the initiative to recommend a player to Li Wei-Ben Haim.

The 26-year-old Ben Haim came to Chelsea on a free transfer from Bolton in the summer of 07, but because Chelsea's central defenders have Terry and Carvalho and others, and Mourinho, who admired him, dismissed get out of class, so He didn't get many chances.

In the Premier League last season, the Israeli international played only 13 times, and with the dismissal of the Israeli (fellow) coach Grant, the media had already reported early that he had entered the countdown to leaving Stamford Bridge.

After Scolari took office, Ben Haim was also pushed into the transfer market for the first time.Just because of the price, Ben Haim has not been able to be sold.

Chelsea's price tag is not too high, certainly not too low, £500 million.

Li Wei refused. He didn't like this Israeli defender, not to mention that even if he wanted to buy it, he had to buy a household registration book anyway.

Although the Premier League has not yet begun to mandate the number of British players in a team, if you don't want to be put on small shoes by the FA, it is best to store a few more British players in the team.

…………

The 23-year-old Gary Cahill was bought by Levi from Bolton to Manchester City for 700 million pounds, but he is not the main central defender in Levi's mind. The main partner in Levi's mind is Thiago Silva and Kompany.

It is worth mentioning that Thiago Silva was lucky enough to get a labor certificate, otherwise Levi could only choose to loan Thiago Silva to Parma.

After a month and a half of cleaning and signings, Manchester City's squad has basically stabilized.

Levi chose Joe Hart as the goalkeeper. Although Joe Hart was from the Manchester City youth team, it was not Levi who promoted him from the youth team.As early as October 2006, 10, in the match between Manchester City and Sheffield United, Joe Hart had already represented Manchester City. This was also Joe Hart's personal debut in the Premier League.

The current Joe Hart is not an unknown person. In October 2007, Hart firmly occupied the position of Manchester City's No. 10 goalkeeper with his outstanding performance.

In May 2008, Hart had already been selected for the England national team, and in a friendly match with Trinidad and Tobago, Hart successfully made his debut for the England senior team.

It's just that Joe Hart's position is still not firm, and his performance is not very stable.Levi was determined to give Joe Hart a chance, so he sold Joe Hart's biggest competitor, main goalkeeper Andres Isaacson.

There is Schmeichel Jr. as the substitute goalkeeper. This gentleman is a typical late bloomer. Although he will perform well in the future, it is still difficult for him to beat Joe Hart.

Now Manchester City has a lot of choices in the central defender position. Thiago Silva and Kompany bought by Levi, in addition to last season's central defender combination, the Irishman Dunn and this year The Croatian Joel Luka, who performed well in the European Cup in the summer, was the main central defender partner of Manchester City last season.

In the position of central defender, Manchester City is very crowded. In addition to the former main central defender partner, there is also England U-21 international Nedum Onuoha. He is still from Manchester City's youth training, but he has not been able to obtain the main position. , The number of appearances per season ranges from ten to eighteen times. Last season, he played eighteen times for Manchester City and scored one goal.
