Football: From Bundesliga debut

Meet at home with his agent Mendes.

"Zheng, what are your thoughts? There are two clubs that have asked me about your transfer intentions. What are your thoughts?"

Are there two clubs inquiring about their transfer intentions?

Zheng Lin was a little surprised. In his mind, he should not be that popular at most.

But he himself didn't think of a problem, that is, the current situation is that good midfielders are rare at this point in time.

At present, there may be very few liquidity, which is a typical seller's market.

"Manchester United and Real Madrid have inquiries, but I personally suggest you consider United."

Mendez's words made Zheng Lin fall into deep thought.

As a Real Madrid fan, he naturally hopes that he can play for Real Madrid, but the reality is that Real Madrid does not lack midfielders. Their midfield trio is strong enough, and there are many substitutes. This probability is not high.

However, Manchester United lacks midfielders and veterans are too old to complete normal game confrontations. If you want to transfer, Manchester United is a good choice.

As for the Greater Paris?
That is not in his consideration. It is an indisputable fact that Ligue [-] lacks competitiveness. Where to go gives people the feeling that it is purely "retirement".

Serie A will not pay that kind of money at all.

As for the other giants in the Premier League, I am afraid that their first choice will not be here.

During Zheng Lin's meeting with Mendes, Guardiola was also re-evaluating his previous thoughts.

From the very beginning, his No.1 pick was De Bruyne as the core, and others built a team around him.

But according to Real Madrid's semi-finals, he was shaken. Although De Bruyne performed well, what he needs is someone to fill the vacancy in the midfielder position.

It can be seen from Pellegrini's tactics that he likes to play double midfielders, Zheng Lin and Fernandinho.

In the case of double defensive midfielders, Fernandinho's performance is very stable, while Zheng Lin is in charge of sweeping the midfield and delivering the ball, which undoubtedly increases his exposure.

Although Zheng Lin had a strong sense of presence in the last round of the European War, Guardiola was still cautious. What he understood was that Zheng Lin could not balance offense and defense well. What he needed was a midfielder who could quickly The kind that hits the ball.

So he has introduced Gundogan and Sane at the winger position.

In his vision, the frontcourt trident is: Sane, Aguero, Sterling/newcomer; midfielder: De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogan/Zheng Lin/newcomer.

To put it simply, he is still cautious about the degree of trust in Zheng Lin.

In his expectation, Zheng Lin is an important part of the team's rotation, but he is not irreplaceable. If he needs to pay too much to keep someone, he needs to think carefully.

It was also during this period that Real Madrid won the Champions League again, which made Zheng Lin feel happy for his "home team", of course, just as a fan.

The offseason has already begun, and Manchester City's management has not made corresponding progress on Zheng Lin's contract renewal. They are also holding an open attitude and began to listen to Zheng Lin's transfer offer.

All of a sudden, the European transfer market exploded.

For Zheng Lin, there are naturally many clubs that he covets, but the price offered is not much to give.

Especially after Zheng Lin put forward his request, Guardiola was somewhat unacceptable. In his eyes, most of the starting positions need to be competed for, and it is impossible to give a [-]% promise from the beginning.

"The demand for the starting position proposed by Zheng."

"It's impossible, even De Bruyne's starter, I will not give [-]% commitment, but he is currently one of the best midfielders in Manchester City!"

Guardiola's words made Manchester City's management fall into contemplation. To put it simply, in Guardiola's mind, Zheng Lin's priority is not as good as De Bruyne.

For Zheng Lin, who had spent a lot of money to introduce him back then, they naturally wouldn't let Zheng Lin leave freely. If he could stay, that would be the best.

It is a bit outrageous that Zheng Lin needs to get a starting commitment of more than 90% of the next season's games, and needs to play 75% of the playing time. This is simply interfering with the coach's tactical arrangement.

This is Xiao Shisan's request, but this request is not too difficult for Zheng Lin, but it seems that the current Manchester City just can't meet it.

There are only a few pitfalls in the midfield, and there are so many people who need positions. Naturally, someone needs to make sacrifices, but Zheng Lin doesn't want to be the one who sacrificed, so he can only choose to leave.

In Guardiola's opinion, Zheng Lin is the third pick for him, but he has to follow Zheng Lin's requirements, so he has no way to adjust the formation and tactics in the first season. Adjustment.

Because they are all accustomed to Pellegrini's set, the reason why he chose to coach Manchester City is that he can create the tactics he wants in Manchester City, and Zheng Lin happens to be the most unstable one among them. point, which troubled him a little.

If Zheng Lin is replaced, then naturally the midfield needs to be strengthened, so there are still two very good candidates in the market, one is Juventus' Pogba, and the other is Lazio's Milinkovic.

Suddenly a thought flashed through Guardiola's mind, that is to sell Zheng Lin to buy Milinkovic. As for why it is not Pogba, he is worried that Pogba may conflict with De Bruyne, which will be even more uncomfortable. wonderful!

From that colorful hairstyle, Guardiola thinks that Pogba is not a good stubble.

Although after the official negotiation, Manchester City also put a price tag on Zheng Lin, because they have decided to build a team according to Guardiola's requirements, so all those who have objections to Guardiola can be cleared.

However, this price tag is quite interesting, 1.5 million euros, a typical asking price, just wait for someone to come up and sit down and bargain.

After hearing the news, Zheng Lin was quite understandable. After all, he was not able to reach De Bruyne's status in people's expectations, so he couldn't make a promise, but he could get an important rotation after changing the head coach promise, which is certainly good.

But this has nothing to do with Zheng Lin's inability to meet Zheng Lin's needs. After all, his first priority now is to determine the problems for the next season, and then complete the promotion to A+.

With Manchester City's bid, Manchester United negotiated for the first time.

And Lafayette also began to think about the players' cash to exchange. After all, this is the best way. If you pay all the money directly, it will make the midfield too crowded, which will be more troublesome.

As time went on, the Manchester City duo began intense negotiations, and there were even rumors that the two sides almost greeted each other on the phone.
