Glory Greenery

Chapter 452

The vicissitudes of the outside world have little effect on Manchester City.

After the bloodbath of Arsenal, Manchester City themselves began to adjust the team lineup, and there was really no time to worry about other people's affairs.

Lescott, who was transferred to the second team, finally found his next home after being put on the shelf.

The offer of West Bromwich Albion, which is ranked seventh in the standings, was accepted by Manchester City, and Lescott was sent away in the winter transfer window.

In addition to Lescote, Pellegrini either terminated the contract or sold players who did not have a chance to play in Manchester City's first team.

For example, after Maicon came, Richards faced competition with Maicon and Zabaleta, and only entered the big list three times this season.

Not being able to play in the game is too terrible for a young player who made his voice in 88.

So under Richards' application, Manchester City reached a deal with Aston Villa. As the hero of the double crown in the 11/12 season, Richards left with the blessing of the Manchester City team.

In addition to cleaning the team, Pellegrini also wants to sign in the midfielder position.

After Barry and Rodwell were injured one after another, De Jong, who stepped up temporarily, performed somewhat unsatisfactorily.

In the last game against Arsenal, De Jong made several mistakes. Obviously, sitting on the bench for a long time, De Jong's cooperation with the team has already had problems.

If it weren't for taking advantage of Arsenal's lack of one player and relying on offense to open up Arsenal, De Jong's mistakes are likely to cause Manchester City to lose this game.

However, everyone lacks a good midfielder. It is obviously not easy for Manchester City to find a reliable midfielder in a short period of time during the winter break.

Regarding this question, Yang Mo thought of the young midfielder Kanter who was loaned to Parma in Serie A because he was signed by Manchester City in Ligue [-].

He made a suggestion to Pellegrini, but after checking Kanter's game video and data in Parma, the two agreed that Kanter should not be recalled.

It's not that Kanter's performance is not good. On the contrary, the young midfielder has grown up quickly in Serie A and is already Parma's main rotation player.

From Ligue [-] to Serie A, although such a rapid growth is amazing, Yang Mo and Pellegrini both understand that the current Kante is not enough to gain a foothold in Manchester City.

The best choice for this young player is to continue to practice and grow in Serie A, instead of coming to Manchester City to sit on the bench.

However, although the recall of Kanter was abandoned, under the advice of Yang Mo and Pellegrini, Manchester City quickly provided Kanter with a new contract.

Because I don't know if I don't look at it, I found out that Kanter's performance has attracted the attention of many Serie A teams. These guys are starting to poach Manchester City's corner again.

If Kanter hadn't signed Mondial Sports Management under Yang Mo's suggestion, leaving other agents alone, I'm afraid Kanter might have been poached away.

There is an old saying in China, that good fortune never comes singly until misfortune never comes singly.

Manchester City suffered another accident in the training match on January 1 due to the problem of lower back injury.

Perhaps because the player of the month in December was snatched away by Van Persie, Yang Mo, who was in a bad mood, played a lot more seriously than before in the training game.

When facing the substitute team's shot, he broke into the penalty area and suddenly changed direction to a volley, which caused the substitute goalkeeper Pantilimon to rush to the street with an unstable center of gravity and severely sprained his arm.

After a detailed examination, the doctor said that Pantilimon must rest for at least three months, and Manchester City's substitute goalkeeper will be reimbursed for the season.

In this case, Pellegrini had to let the third goalkeeper Wright enter the first team.

But after a training match on January 1, Pellegrini found that the 18-year-old Wright could not meet the requirements for playing because he had not trained with the first team for a long time.

Obviously, compared to the midfielder position, the most important thing for Manchester City now is to find a reliable goalkeeper.

Otherwise, once Joe Hart has a problem, Manchester City's goal will have an unprecedented crisis.

"I have a choice."

When discussing which goalkeeper to buy, in the conference room, Pellegrini said.

"Who?" Mubarak asked.

"When I was coaching in La Liga Malaga, I was very impressed by a Levante goalkeeper. He was a Costa Rican named Kailor Navas."

Speaking of this, Pellegrini expressed some hesitation, "But..."

"But what?" Mubarak asked puzzled.

"He is the main goalkeeper in Levante. He is likely to play as a substitute when he comes to Manchester City. I don't think the other party will agree."

Pellegrini explained why.

Mubarak chuckled after hearing the words, "As long as he is really good, this is not a problem. I believe he will not refuse Manchester City's conditions."

Beside, Yang Mo heard Mubarak's words, and understood that the big dog was going to throw money at people again.

Pellegrini was also sweating profusely when he heard the words, even though he once brought Real Madrid, which was not bad for money.

But even Real Madrid is not like Manchester City, as long as they need it, they will spend money as money.

Pellegrini remembered that when he left Malaga halfway, instead of blaming him, the Malaga chairman kept thanking him for being favored by Manchester City.

From the opponent's reaction, Pellegrini can guess that the price Manchester City paid for him to join is definitely not small.

However, this kind of practice of buying players at any cost is really cool.

Naturally, the management of Manchester City has to worry about the replacement goalkeeper. After Yang Mo and Pellegrini finished caring about it, they immediately focused their energy on the league.

After the victory over Arsenal, Manchester City ushered in a six-day break.

On January 1th, Manchester City, who had recharged their batteries, ushered in the 19rd round of the Premier League at home in full condition.

This time Manchester City's opponent is Fulham Club.

In the current standings, Fulham has only won six games in 22 rounds, ranking 14th in the standings.

In the eyes of the outside world, Fulham certainly cannot be Manchester City's opponent.

Therefore, apart from China, the focus of media attention in this round of matches is the match between Tottenham, who is third in the standings, and Manchester United, who is second in the standings.

Although even if Tottenham beat Manchester United, they can't shake Manchester United's No.2 position in the standings, but once Tottenham cause any trouble to Manchester United, Manchester City will be the happiest.

Manchester City's match against Fulham was a day earlier than Tottenham's match against Manchester United.

Sitting at home, Manchester City easily won 2-0 Fulham, extending the league unbeaten to 19 games.

In the game, Yang Mo scored a goal, which also refreshed his consecutive scoring record to 19 games.

In fact, compared to Manchester City's victory, or Yang Mo's consecutive goals, Yang Mo's way of holding two FIFA Ballon d'Ors before the game to accept the cheers of the home fans attracted more media coverage after the game.

When the time came to January 1, when Tottenham's match with Manchester United ended, Manchester City realized the importance of their victory.

In the away game against Tottenham, Manchester United had no choice but to draw 1-1.

After the game, because of Manchester United's draw, Manchester City once again widened the gap with Manchester United.

Manchester City with 62 points and Manchester United with 54 points.

The gap of 8 points already seems to indicate that Manchester City will once again dominate the Premier League this season.

Once Manchester City can successfully win the championship, it will become the third team to defend the Premier League title after Manchester United and Chelsea.
