i want to be king

Chapter 798 As long as the check dance is good, no team can't dig it down!
As the captain of the team, Su Dong must consider the unity of the locker room.

At this meeting, he believed that the team should not make any public statement, because neither Joe Hart nor Gareth Barry had a problem during the game for the team. No matter how violent the outside was, the team should not intervene.

But he said that he will communicate with his two teammates and handle this matter properly.

Sudong's proposal was supported by Guardiola and Begiristain.

Both of them are professional players, and they both know the rules of the locker room.

Joe Hart and Gareth Barry's scandal, is there a problem?
Needless to say, there are, and large ones, one could even say, lack work ethic and self-discipline.

Not to mention the imminent battle for the national team, but to say that during the league, the two of them hang out in nightclubs, which is unbearable.

Either this kind of thing is not exposed, and once it is exposed, it will naturally be criticized by the media and fans.

But in this situation, the team must first protect the players.

Even though Guardiola has a lot of dissatisfaction with Joe Hart, he also supports Su Dong's suggestion.

Soriano finally made a decision and asked the public relations department to come up with a plan as soon as possible, trying to calm the public opinion in the shortest possible time.

……

Joe Hart and Gareth Barry were just part of the meeting.

Afterwards, the club had to discuss the daily operation and some issues of signings during the winter break. After discussing the players, Su Dong got up and left, but was left by Soriano.

"We all want to hear from you and from the locker room," Soriano said.

Su Dong looked at Guardiola and Begiristan, and found that no one seemed surprised, so he understood.

Dare to take the matter of Joe Hart and Gareth Barry and call himself back from Oxford for a meeting, but it is just a cover. What he really wants is to "promote" himself, and participate in this kind of big event that is related to the daily operation of the team and the club's signings.

As the captain of the team, this has actually exceeded his authority.

In many cases, the club respects the captain and will ask for opinions, but it is more for reference, let alone directly participating in meetings for discussion.

For the team's winter break signings, Guardiola first hopes to introduce a goalkeeper, but whether it is Liverpool's Reina or Barcelona's Valdes, it is obviously unlikely to move to Manchester City.

As a result, the team really doesn't have a good candidate for goalkeeper signings.

This is actually the reason why Su Dong thinks that Joe Hart should be protected. After all, Given is old, Manchester City still needs to rely on Joe Hart for the next game. Once the penalty is imposed, it will annoy the England national team. It is not a good thing after all.

Guardiola is also not happy with Micah Richards.

This season, he used Micah Richards to play right back and central back, and he had some high-profile performances, but more of them were mediocre or even sluggish, which was disappointing.

The current main force of the team is the combination of Kompany and Pepe. Both players have performed very well. Jerome Boateng is a player that Guardiola likes very much, but his performance is still a bit reassuring.

Therefore, Guardiola also wants to get Benfica's Brazilian defender David Luiz.

David Luiz is 23 years old, with a height of 1.8 meters. He joined Benfica in [-] and has performed very well so far.

Chelsea are currently very interested in him and want to use him to strengthen the team's defense.

Guardiola also favors this central defender with excellent physical condition, delicate footwork, and an excellent long pass. He believes that if he joins the team, he can compete with Pepe, Kompany and Boateng.

Manchester City's style of play has high requirements on the central defenders, and the consumption of the defense is also very high. If they want to fight on multiple lines, there are only three central defenders. Guardiola thinks it is not enough, so he wants to introduce David Luiz again.

For the Manchester City management, the introduction of David Luiz can also hit Chelsea, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

You know, so far this season, Manchester City ranks first, but Chelsea is close behind by one point, and it is also unambiguous. If they can hit their opponents, Manchester City will never mind.

"Su, what do you think?" Soriano asked suddenly.

Su Dong was a little surprised, he planned to listen in, and even forgot about it when he went out after listening, but why did he suddenly ask himself?
Seeing Su Dong look at himself, and then at Guardiola, Begiristan chuckled, "Just say it, let it go."

Guardiola also nodded with a smile, obviously wanting to hear Su Dong's thoughts.

Su Dong understood that he could not escape this level.

He is actually not willing to get too involved in the management of the club. It is already difficult for him to be the captain, but it is not his style to get more involved now.

How many people are eagerly waiting for a promotion to improve their voice in the club.

But for Su Dong, he really has no interest in this aspect.

However, since he wanted to tell the truth, he would definitely tell the truth.

"To be honest, David Luiz is very strong and has amazing potential. I don't think he will be worse than Pepe in the future, and I think he can adapt to our team's tactics. But for now, he is still a bit rash."

Guardiola nodded and added, "Recklessness is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Of course." Su Dong agreed.

It's true that being rash isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Sometimes, for defensive players, the more you do, the more mistakes you make.

Therefore, some "smart" defensive players will adopt more conservative strategies and try to avoid doing too much. They will give the fans the impression that they are very stable and never make mistakes.

But some players will appear more active and often take the initiative to take the initiative, which is prone to mistakes and appears reckless.

Is that stable?Or is it better to be rash?
In fact, fans often like to be steady, but teams often like to be rash.

Mistakes are not terrible, what is terrible is that you do nothing when you are afraid of making mistakes.

……

In order to improve the competitiveness of the team, Manchester City spared no expense, and did not even set an upper limit for Guardiola's transfer.

David Luiz fit for the team?

you can!

Soriano immediately made a decision and asked Begiristan's technical team to immediately come up with a plan, and began to contact Benfica, striving to buy the Brazilian central defender before Chelsea.

This made Su Dong feel the courage of Manchester City's management. When they made decisions, they didn't need to worry about funds at all.

Standing behind is the Abu Dhabi consortium. Today's Manchester City is so rich.

In European football, as long as the check dances well, no team can't dig it down.

However, soon, another thing that surprised Su Dong happened.

Guardiola mentioned Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas to Begiristan.

Begiristain made it clear that he has been in contact with Fabregas many times, and even went to London to lobby in person. Guardiola also called him, but Fabregas is very determined to join Barcelona and he wants to go back.

After failing to poach Cesc Fabregas, Guardiola and Begiristan set their sights on Barcelona's La Masia youth academy.

As we all know, the La Masia youth training camp has ushered in a wave of talent blowout.

After Messi and Bojan, a group of young talents such as Dos Santos appeared, and two of them aroused the interest of Guardiola, one is the midfielder Thiago with dual nationality of Spain and Brazil, and the other is the extremely fast full-back Bellerin.

Bellerin, who will not turn 16 until March, is a good player in La Masia's youth academy. He is fast and has attracted the attention of some Premier League teams, including Arsenal, early on. Manchester City has a natural advantage in this regard.

Guardiola, Begiristan and Soriano are all from Barcelona, ​​and Su Dong is also a star who is destined to enter the Barcelona Hall of Fame. This is still very attractive to Bellerin.

More importantly, the existence of Alves made Bellerin see no hope.

Compared to Bellerin, Thiago's situation will be more complicated.

The 19-year-old midfielder made his debut for the first team in [-], but only played one game. He was still in the first team last season, but only played two games. So far this season, he has no chance to play.

A very important reason is that coach Mourinho does not like this type of midfielder. He admires Seydu Keita and Yaya Toure more, and even wants to introduce a type of midfielder like Essien.

The existence of Harvey and Iniesta, coupled with the preference of coach Mourinho, makes Thiago's chances in Barcelona very slim, so Manchester City is in contact with Barcelona, ​​hoping to sign Thiago and strengthen the team's midfield.

Guardiola believes that Thiago will be the team's midfielder, or a powerful supplement to the delayed midfielder, because so far, Manchester City can really satisfy Guardiola's delayed midfielder, only Busquets.

In the case that Michael Johnson is destined to be abandoned, it is also wise to introduce a young midfielder.

Su Dong also learned from the words of Begiristain and Guardiola, combined with Cruyff's column, and some information he heard, he can more or less feel the profound influence of Mourinho's coaching on Barcelona's skills and tactics, as well as the youth training tradition.

So much so that Cruyff said in his column that Barcelona's orthodoxy lies in Manchester City.

It can be seen how dissatisfied he is with Barcelona under Mourinho's coaching.

……

In addition, Guardiola also wants to continue signings on the front line.

On the one hand, he is dissatisfied with Santa Cruz and wants to strengthen the signings of the center forward substitute; on the other hand, the two wingers Di Maria and Sanchez are very good, Adam Johnson also has a certain performance, but Wright Phillips is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Guardiola hopes that the technical department can draw up a plan as soon as possible, and also make some moves in the center and winger positions.

The Spaniard believes that Manchester City is on the right path, as long as the team's strength continues to improve, there will be great achievements in the future.
