Chapter 841
This season the Premier League really belongs to the city of Manchester.

In the first half of the season, Manchester United won 13 consecutive victories, qualified for the Champions League group two rounds ahead of schedule, and defeated their noisy neighbors in the Manchester Derby.

But the good times didn't last long. Manchester United was criticized by the media after three games in all competitions. Although Liverpool and Chelsea were even more disappointing, Manchester United quietly caught up.

A wave of consecutive victories ranging from five consecutive victories, seven consecutive victories to ten consecutive victories, no one paid attention to it. After all, gems are ahead, but when Guardiola leads his team to beat Chelsea and win 13 consecutive victories, the attention of the entire Premier League will be all over the place. Concentrate on Manchester City.

In the 24th round, Manchester United reversed West Ham United to ensure their advantage in the standings, although the advantage was only 1 point.

But Manchester City also completed the reversal, Hull City took the lead in scoring, but Sterling scored twice, Jingdong An made a pass, David Silva made the icing on the cake, Blue Moon swept Tiger City 4-1 and won 14 consecutive victories Tie Arsenal's record winning streak.

And Manchester City's next round opponent is Stoke City.

……

"So what if you win 14 consecutive victories? If you don't win the championship, everything will be empty!" Sun Wu hung up the phone and walked into the yard angrily. Turning around, he saw a familiar car parked in front of Patrick's house next door.

Sun Wu turned around and wanted to enter the house, but that guy's eyes were too sharp...

"Hey, Best, don't rush away!"

The smile on Guardiola's face was extremely bright.

Sun Wuqiang turned back with a smile on his face, "Josep, why are you free to come here today?"

"Patrick brought a nice box of sparkling wine from Barcelona." Guardiola beckoned, "Let's try it together. I also brought sausages from Botti Fara Blanca."

Sun Wu hesitated for a while before being pulled over by Christine, his face darkened as soon as he entered the door.

"Best, I didn't hear your thanks." Guardiola spread his hands and said, "Shouldn't you thank me?"

Sun Wu pulled a long face and said slowly: "Well, I should really thank you... although you are for yourself."

Guardiola contributed to the transfer of Miranda to Manchester United, although it was only a trivial sentence... The reason for his contribution is simple. Manchester City's opponent in the Champions League draw is Atletico Madrid. Miranda has rich experience in European competitions. And Savage was a rookie.

Today's dinner is very sumptuous. Although Aunt Olina's cooking skills are terrible, the sausages and ham brought by Guardiola taste good, and they are all cooked food. With the addition of a few bottles of good wine contributed by Patrick, the atmosphere on the dinner table is getting better. Harmonize.

"Not necessarily, Manchester City will fight on four fronts in the second half of the season." Sun Wu curled his lips disdainfully, "What is there to fight for in the League Cup? Didn't you take it last year? Look at Manchester United, and they simply declared no in the first round. !"

"Obviously he was eliminated, and he said he didn't want it." Patrick squinted and said, "That Dele Ali is really good, but it's a pity that you have such a good idea. You went there twice and failed to get him."

Thinking of this, Sun Wu's head drooped. Like Yuan Shikong, Ali has signed a contract with Tottenham and officially completed the transfer.

"By the way, do you still want that German midfielder at Manchester United?" Guardiola asked calmly, "The value is neither high nor low."

"Which one? Sane?"

"Of course not. Sane's value is too high, and Schalke 04 may not be willing to let him go." Patrick explained, "The one from Red Bull has been repurchased by Stuttgart."

"Oh, oh, Kimmich." Sun Wu said dejectedly: "It is said that Bayern has already signed him, and you still want to snatch him away?"

Guardiola took a sip of the red wine and didn't say a word, looking confident, no way, there is a mine behind this guy, it's too wild!
Sun Wu has a toothache when he thinks about it. The Glazer family behind Manchester United really can't compete with the local tyrants in Manchester City.

"A few days ago, the newspaper said that Manchester United is paying attention to Hull City's Maguire?" Patrick took a deep breath, "The game the day before yesterday, Maguire performed really well, there is work under his feet, although the speed He’s a little slow, but he’s good at positioning, and he’s very capable of defending and making up defenses, and he has nothing to do with a few conceded goals.”

Patrick drank too much, but Sun Wu didn't drink a drop, he kept his mouth shut and just ate ham... After time travel, Sun Wu once gave Spanish ham as a gift to his teammates, but he really didn't eat it, he was used to eating it Jinhua ham, but tasted pretty good today.

"It is said that Manchester United offered Sporting Lisbon the young defender Ekel Dier?" Patrick asked again: "Pretty good player, excellent tactical thinking ability, and a versatile player..."

Guardiola glanced at Patrick on the opposite side and felt a little helpless. This guy drank too much and his mouth was too big.

"Best, your Rashford is pretty good, and now the Manchester media compares him to Iheanacho." Guardiola changed the subject, "However, the chance you gave Rashford is a bit few."

"Really?" Sun Wu paused, "But Iheanacho probably won't stay in Manchester City, but Rashford will stay."

"Why?" Patrick asked in surprise, "Does he not have enough potential?"

"You Manchester City are rich!" Sun Wu said angrily: "It's so risky to use youth training players, it's better to just buy the finished product, and buy whoever Josep likes!"

Tsk tsk, these words are sour...

"An excellent record requires good tactics and good players." Guardiola spread his hands. "By summer, everyone's budget is sufficient. Of course, it is very likely that the value of players will increase."

Guardiola's judgment is very accurate, that is, since this summer, the amount of Premier League player transactions has increased significantly. For example, Ake, a player who came from Chelsea's youth training and rarely played at Stamford Bridge, can be sold for nearly 2000 million pounds. Michael Keane also sold for £3000 million under such circumstances.

Under such circumstances, the major giants in the Premier League turned their attention to other leagues. This is how a large number of high-quality and cheap stars from Ligue [-], La Liga, and Bundesliga came to the Premier League. To a certain extent, the later Champions League and Europa League That's part of the reason why the finals were all Premier League teams.

But these have nothing to do with Sun Wu for the time being, he turned into a gangster today.

"I can't compare with you guys. Manchester United is a listed company with a strict financial system!"

"I always feel that UEFA should focus on investigating Manchester City's finances. I will write a report letter later..."

"Forget it, Josep, even your salary and bonus are not paid by the Manchester City club!"

Indeed, since the beginning of 2014, the income of Manchester City's players and staff accounted for 40.00% of the club's income. This figure was 150% before... In other words, if you don't buy or sell people, you must Lose half.

The key to this change is that the salaries and bonuses of Manchester City's players, coaching staff and some staff are all paid by the City Football Group, and the expenditure has changed from the club to the parent company. This is how Manchester City escaped UEFA's financial review.

Sun Wu, who was worried about Manchester United's stretched budget, couldn't help thinking, if he chose Manchester City two years ago, would he be able to drive Guardiola to Manchester United...
