Chapter 156 Sign Redondo

In the 10th round of the league, Manchester City challenged Newcastle United away.

The Magpies have fallen at a rocket-like speed this season, and their results have plummeted.

You must know that last season, they were still playing in the Champions League.

This is the case for many teams. Newcastle United has financial problems and the team lineup has changed a lot.

In the case of great changes in the main force, coupled with the fact that the veteran Shearer is one year older and his state has declined seriously, Newcastle United's offense has a big problem, and there is no way to win.

The result of the game was 0:1 again. Manchester City still beat Newcastle United by 1 goal.

Luke scored in a row, including the Champions League in midweek, and scored three goals in three games to help Manchester City maintain a complete victory.

This state is also absolute.

This made Mourinho very satisfied. In the dense schedule, it is a good thing that players continue to provoke the leader.

In the next third round of the League Cup, Manchester City was unlucky and actually drew Arsenal.

Of course, Arsenal is definitely not satisfied, who wants to touch Manchester City?
And now Arsenal is also fighting on multiple lines, and there will definitely be some games that will give up. In this game, Arsenal decisively chose to give up. Although they are fighting at home, they let substitutes come on, including the young teenager Wall. Cotter, Bentley, etc.

Manchester City also played as a semi-main player. Bridge scored a long-range shot in 33 minutes to help Manchester City beat Arsenal by 1 goal.

The 1:0 doctrine has now become the main theme of Manchester City, with this score in four consecutive games.

In contrast, Manchester United played passionately, winning every game by a big score.

This round of the League Cup even scored a big score of 0:9 in the away game. Manchester United also easily defeated the Crewe team and reached the fourth round.

Now the media focus is on Manchester United.

Ronaldo is playing better and better and has become Manchester United's new core.

Such a Manchester United is indeed terrifying and worthy of attention.

In contrast, who is willing to watch Manchester City play?No matter the scene or the score, there is no comparison.

In the 11th round of the league, Manchester City defeated Norwich City 2:0, which finally increased by a goal difference.

But this is not good news. The good news comes from Manchester United. They were tied 2:2 by Portsmouth in the away game. Now it is a big joke.

Manchester United was almost exaggerated by the media before, but a draw made them fall behind Manchester City by as much as 5 points. No matter how many wins before, it is useless?

But the next round is the Manchester Derby. At that time, we will see if Manchester United has the means. If there is no way to beat Manchester City, then it will be very difficult to win the championship this season.

In the middle of the week, Manchester City played Paris back-to-back in the Champions League group stage.

At home, Paris Saint-Germain finally put some pressure on Manchester City.

Mendes attacked with a long pass from the center in 12 minutes. Luke headed the ball to Ribery. Ribery took the ball horizontally and then shot from a long distance. The ball went straight into the lower left corner. 0:1, Manchester City won leading.

In the 28th minute, it was still a long pass from Mendes. Luke headed the ball and ran back. Ribery also made a quick pass. Luke entered the penalty area with a low shot, 0:2!

This Luke's state is indeed OK.

With these two goals, Manchester City defeated Paris Saint-Germain in an away game, and the group's four-game winning streak advanced to the knockout stage two rounds ahead of schedule.

This group is mainly Mo Jun and Paris Saint-Germain are too weak, the two teams have very few points, Manchester City and Porto have no suspense to advance.

As for who will take the first place in the group, there is not much suspense.

As long as Manchester City doesn't give in, Porto basically has no chance.

For the other groups, the three groups A, B, and E compete fiercely.

Monaco, Chelsea and Olympiacos in Group A have formed a chain with each other. You beat me, I win him, and he wins you. It is difficult to keep a distance between the three.

Depor, on the other hand, is currently ranked last in the group because of Crouch's consecutive defeats after being injured.

The same is true for Leverkusen, Real Madrid and Dynamo Kiev in Group B. There is not much difference between them. This is also surprising. Most people think that Real Madrid is strong and must have qualified early.

But in fact this is not the case. Although Real Madrid's offensive and defensive strengths are very strong now, they still haven't scored enough points at the opponent's home court.

They also lost at home in Leverkusen, which also caused Real Madrid to wait until the final round to qualify.

Arsenal, Eindhoven and Panathinaikos in Group E are also entangled. The two Greek teams have performed very well this season. It seems that they are also deeply affected by the Greek team's European Championship.

It's just that the Greek club wants to win the Champions League, which may be too small. The Champions League is not the European Cup. The strong teams here are more experienced, and the two-round competition system is not easy to upset them.

At this time, negotiations between Manchester City and Porto are also going on. Manchester City wants to buy Deco, and the offer has reached 2000 million euros.

Deco's level is very comprehensive, and his technical strength is strong. Of course, Mourinho likes it.

Porto also basically agreed to the deal. After the start of the winter break transfer, Deco will land in the Premier League.

In this time and space, Deco started from the Premier League, which can be regarded as late love, and after Barcelona got Ronaldinho, they did not intend to buy Deco again.

After getting Deco, Manchester City's midfield strength will improve a lot.

There should be more changes by then.

At the same time, Jia Yi met the former Argentine legend Redondo on the Pampas grassland.

Redondo is almost about to retire, and his injuries have seriously affected his career.

When Jia Yi looked for him, he naturally liked Lei Dongduo, and with the system in place, Jia Yi still wanted to give Lei Dong one more chance. Anyway, after signing him, he would still have the opportunity to copy his attributes, and he would definitely be able to cultivate a Redondo's successor came out.

Redondo was still very moved by Jia Yi's invitation.

However, he is a very rational person and also an emotional person.

"Mr. Jia Yi, I'm very sorry. I know my body. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to compete with the intensity of the Premier League. I don't want to waste your salary."

Redondo said that he used to do things without salary in AC Milan. He thought that he was signed by others, and he hadn't played a few games, so he voluntarily gave up his salary. This is also a good story.

Jia Yi smiled and said: "It's okay, even if you retire, you can still be a scout for Manchester City and help Manchester City recruit young players. I'm not afraid of losing money when I sign you, and you also need a chance to prove yourself.

Be more confident, Fernando, you don't have to worry, many people have gone to Manchester City and have achieved results, you should trust my vision and luck. "

After listening to Jia Yi's words, Redondo smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I have nothing to say. I hope I can help Manchester City."

The next day, Manchester City officially announced the signing of veteran Redondo, which also made many Manchester City fans very happy. None of the veterans signed by Manchester City in the past was a coward. Redondo was once known as a prince. Many exciting games, Manchester City old fans should know Redondo, although he has not played in the Premier League.

Of course, the media speculated that Redondo's joining must have brought experience to Manchester City. With Redondo's rich professional experience, there must be a lot of experience passed on to young players.

This signing will definitely not suffer.
