Chapter 152 The cutest height difference
There is no news from the Manchester City club, and the outside world has already offered odds for Manchester City's signings.

Manchester United's Barry and Chelsea's Lampard lead the way!
Barry should have played a better role in Manchester United's half of the season, but it is obvious that he has not integrated into the Manchester United collective.

After more than a dozen rounds of running-in period, Ferguson completely gave up the Villa general and used his old team instead.Scholes and Fletcher are still Sir Alex's first choice!And these people also reciprocated Ferguson's trust. Manchester United rushed forward in a wave, followed behind Manchester City, and reached the top three.

And Barry spent more and more time on the bench...

So Barry became Manchester City's number one signing target.

Another gossip pig's foot is the magic lamp Lampard.

Although Mourinho has always stated that Lampard is the soul of the team and not for sale during his tenure, but now Mourinho has already left Stamford Bridge. For a businessman Abramovich, money is the most important thing.

The last thing Manchester City lacks is money.Coupled with the good personal relationship between Thaksin and Abramovich in private, Lampard's transfer may be formed.

Moreover, news broke out recently that Lampard expressed dissatisfaction with Abramovich's driving away Mourinho. During a private gathering, he believed that Grant lacked "coach temperament", and Mourinho was the positive choice!

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, the conflict in the Chelsea dressing room that had been eased suddenly intensified again.

So selling Lampard is not impossible.

In the eyes of the media, Duncan's signings have always been the kind of players who are playing in their prime. He doesn't like to buy a star of tomorrow to cultivate slowly.So Barry and Lampard are the best candidates that Duncan may choose again.

On January 1, Manchester City, who played as a substitute, lost to Barnsley in the FA Cup.The latter had just eliminated Chelsea a week ago.

So far, Manchester City has only two fronts left in the UEFA Cup and the League.

The lengthy league, numerous games, and the thickness of the bench lineup are obviously also very important!

In this game, Manchester City exposed the shortcomings of the lack of substitute players.

The outside world is also looking forward to the official announcement of Manchester City's signings.

The day after losing the FA Cup, Manchester City announced new signings.

When the media rushed to the press conference excitedly, they were stunned: Manchester City has introduced three players, and among these three, two of them don't know each other?

"Next, please allow me to introduce you to the two new players. One is a Spanish player from Barcelona, ​​Pedro Rodriguez. The other is Marouane Fellaini , he is a Belgian player who previously played for Standard Liege!"

"As for the last one, David Silva, a midfielder, a former Valencia club player, and a member of the Spanish national team."

Everyone raised their cameras and frantically pressed the shutter.

But most of the focus is on Silva.After all, Silva is almost famous in Europe today.His dexterous dribbling and elegant style of play are his distinctive features.

Fellaini and Pedro are rarely cared about.In European football, these two people are still unknown characters.

Buying Silva for 3000 million pounds, buying Fellaini for 1300 million pounds, and buying Pedro for 500 million pounds, Manchester City spent a total of 4800 million pounds on "buying people".

But if you count the 2000 million pounds for the sale of Barton and the 200 million pounds for the sale of Sibilski, Manchester City's total net expenditure is only 2600 million pounds.

Silva's strength is worthy of such a transfer fee, which the media quickly accepted.

It's just that they still have doubts.

"Is it too risky to sign a Spanish player at such a high price? As far as I know, Spanish players seem to be often dissatisfied in the Premier League? They are often criticized for their soft style of play. Difficult to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League."

a reporter asked.

"If you put it this way, you should get to know Harvey Alonso and Fernando Torres. One is the core of Liverpool's midfield, and the other is the top scorer?"

"But after all, there are still lessons learned from Reyes and Morientes? And Silva is not tall and his body is very thin. In the high-confrontation and high-tempo Premier League, facing tall defenders, he is physically confrontational. , does not occupy any advantage!" The reporter asked back.

"I don't think it's a problem, at least for Silva, I think he can gain a foothold in the Premier League. He will play well and even show the demeanor of the best player!"

Duncan said to himself.He remembered the scene of Silva killing all sides in the Premier League in his previous life. There is no reason to come to this life, but his performance is poor!
Silva was a little surprised. Although the head coach praised him in private, he thought it was just a polite compliment.

But I didn't expect the head coach to say that in public.

It turned out that he really thought so...

Silva clenched his fist quietly: Work hard!Only by working hard can we live up to the coach's expectations!

Duncan's public support warmed Silva's heart.

In fact, although Silva agreed to transfer to Manchester City, but from the bottom of his heart, Silva still has a trace of rejection in his heart.Many Spanish players are unwilling to transfer to Manchester City just because of Manchester City's rich background.

But Duncan not only gave him a high salary and high transfer fee from the moment he signed the contract, but also supported him at the press conference, which made Silva's heart go away.

With such a head coach, what reason is there not to go all out?
Silva couldn't dig out anything at this point. The reporters turned their eyes and turned their attention to the other two new players, Pedro and Fellaini.

After looking at it, some reporters couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Pedro is 1.6 meters seven, and Fellaini is 1.9 meters three. Standing together, the two of them have the cutest height difference!

Pay attention to the eyes of the reporters. After all, Fellaini has played in the first team for a year and a half. He frankly welcomes all kinds of curious, doubtful, or questioning eyes.

Pedro has just made his debut in the Barcelona first team. Since childhood, he has been under the shadow of Messi, Fabregas and Pique, which makes Pedro a little unconfident.

The reporter's understanding of Pedro is limited to the fact that he was produced from the world-famous La Masia.

Facing the gaze of the reporter, he dodged a little.

hiss……

Interesting, this little guy, is he still shy?
"Compared with a famous star like David Silva, as a Spanish player, do you have confidence in yourself?" A reporter asked.

In fact, Silva is only one and a half years older than Pedro, but he looks much more mature, and of course he is also much more famous.

Of course, what is even more outrageous is Cesc Fabregas, who is the same age as Pedro, but has four years of experience in the Premier League.

"Well, of course I have confidence!" Pedro was a little surprised by the question, and responded after a while.

The reporters laughed.

"Really? The defenders in the Premier League are generally tall and big. They won't treat you with pity because you are young." Some reporters began to scare Pedro.

Duncan didn't interrupt, he wanted to see the little guy's ability to withstand pressure.

"Just like Pique, he is a very typical template for a Premier League defender..." For fear that this young player with only one official game experience would not be clear, the reporters also deliberately cited an example around him.

"Pike?" Pedro obviously knew Pique very well: "In that case, I have no problem at all..."

The young man who made his debut on the field didn't know how to hide his words, but the reporters also found that this was Pedro's true thoughts.

"This child is really ignorant and fearless!" The reporters shook their heads.They're going to wait until Pedro has crashed his head in the Premier League before asking him questions.

Only the last big fool left, Fellaini.

"The level of the Premier League is very high. You come from the Belgian League, do you feel the pressure?" The reporter asked Fellaini the first question, which was exactly the same as the first question of Silva and Pedro.

This shows that the arrogance of the British people is a national character that is absolutely rooted in their bones.I always like to close the door and pretend that I am number one in the world.

"I came here because of my high level! When I get here, I will improve myself and make myself stronger!" Fellaini talked eloquently. He was half a year younger than Pedro, but he couldn't answer the question. , more sunny and positive, full of vigor.

"You are so tall, dare to ask what is your position on the field? Is it a forward or a defender?"

"Lower back." Duncan gave everyone the answer with a smile.

"Wow!" The scene was full of exclamation.

Fellaini's height reached 1.9 meters four.Such a height determines that his header is one of his characteristics.

"There were rumors that Manchester City were going to sign Lampard or Barry, but in the end they signed you. Will this become your pressure?"

"Lampard and Barry are both seniors I admire. Now I am not as good as them, but I will aim to surpass them!"

Duncan nodded. This little guy is very confident and confident. Such a positive and healthy attitude will be very helpful for his future development!
"No problem, I hope you have a good time in Manchester City and go far." The reporter finally said.

"Thank you!" Fellaini was neither humble nor overbearing.
