Chapter 34 The Return
"Who is Joey Barton?"

Sounds a bit familiar!
Duncan thought about it carefully. The name Joey Barton seemed to have been heard in the reserve team.

This made Duncan very ashamed, after all, he was a coach in the reserve team.

Duncan thought about it, and then called his reserve team coach, Luke.

Luke was originally the assistant coach of the reserve team. Later, Duncan was promoted to the head coach of the first team, and Luke became the head coach of the reserve team.

When the old superior called, Luke was naturally very happy, and graciously introduced to Duncan the good performance of the boys in the reserve team recently.

If anyone can be selected by Duncan, he will definitely enter the first team.

Duncan didn't ask directly, but insinuated, asking about Joey Button.

Luke didn't think much about it, so he told the story of Joey Barton.

After hanging up the phone, some doubts in Duncan's heart were resolved.

Why does a reserve team player have an agent?

Why is there only one captain in the first team?
Why is the team lacking in midfield?
It turned out that everything was on this Joey Barton.

Joey Button is the team's first captain and the core of the team's midfield.

Joey Button is a talent from Manchester City's youth training. He has a brave style and a tenacious fighting spirit. He is a rare player.

But why, such an excellent player, appeared in the reserve team?
Because of his bad temper, he is as famous as his style!
In short, it's a stab player!
Such a player, whether to use it well or not, is a double-edged sword.

Use it well, then charge forward and be invincible!
If it is not used well, it will hurt others and yourself, and you will suffer instead!
Although Button is only 24 years old, he has a lot of criminal records and bad records!
At the club's Christmas party in 2004, Barton stuck a cigarette butt in the eye of a young player and was almost expelled from the club;
In May 05, he broke a passerby's leg while driving;

In the summer of 06, injured an Everton fan;
At the beginning of the transfer window during the winter break of this season, Barton had a dispute with backup center back Richards.Wrathed by head coach Pierce, he entered the reserve team.

Then, Mido, who was introduced during the winter break, replaced Button's position on the court.

This is also one of the reasons why Manchester City's record did not rise after the winter break, but fell instead.

Pierce's original plan was to throw Patton into the reserve team, reflect for a while, and kill his vigor.

But then the situation changed suddenly, and Pierce dismissed get out of class soon.

Duncan, who took over Pierce's class, was also the head coach of the reserve team before.

Then everyone will assume that Duncan must know about Joey Barton, and he must also know about Pierce's punishment of Barton.

So after Duncan took office, he didn't mention Button's behavior at all, which made people think that Duncan also didn't like players like Button.

Even Button himself thinks so!

But who would have thought that the current Duncan would have changed a long time ago.

In Duncan's mind, there is no such person as Button!

So naturally, Barton would not be appointed.

In fact, Barton himself admired Duncan quite a lot.But he waited for two months, and he didn't see Duncan's call, so he was a little disheartened.

That's why I applied for a transfer.

If it weren't for having no ball to play, Barton would not have embarked on such a path.

Barton is an excellent product of Manchester City's youth training camp. If he was not desperate, he would never choose to leave!

So, if it weren't for Barton's transfer application, Duncan would not have known that there was such a big boss hidden in his reserve team!

The reason why Button asked for a transfer was because he wanted to play football.So as long as he is brought back to the first team, Barton will naturally not think about leaving.

With this Barton, plus Mido, Manchester City's midfield can be considered truly thick.

However, for a head coach who strictly governs the army, Duncan also does not allow factors beyond his control to appear in his team.

Barton entered the reserve team because of a quarrel with Richards. Now that he wants to come back, he must first seek a solution.

The next day, as soon as Duncan arrived at the office, he found the team's backup center back, Richards, standing in front of the door.

Obviously something to find their own.

Richards is the main central defender in the team, but in terms of ability, he is not satisfactory.

Last season, in Richards' position, the original main player was Distin.

Distin moved away in the summer. Manchester City originally introduced Trabelsi to fill the vacancy left by Distin.

But after Trabelsi joined, he gained a firm foothold on the right back.

Although he can play both central defender and right back, the right back position can take advantage of Trabelsi's speed.

So Trabelsi squeezed out Sun Jihai and became the main right back.

At the same time, Richards, the original backup central defender, became the main candidate.

It happened that Richards also wanted to transfer and leave because of his long-term substitute.

After Barton knew about it, he was naturally ridiculed and ridiculed by "traitors" and "perfidious people".

So the two had a big fight.

Barton, who provoked the incident, was sent to the reserve team.

Originally, the reserve team was devolved, and it would be enough for a week or two.But because of Button's previous "bad record", Pierce intentionally let Button stay for a while longer.

"What, you want Barton to return to the first team?" Duncan was a little surprised, looking at Richards.

Button was sent to the reserve team for insulting you, but now you come to intercede with Button?

But looking at Richards' expression, it was obvious that he had thought it through.

So Duncan, after expressing surprise, gave Richards a chance to state why.

Richards is a player of average strength, but at the same time, he is a player with a big heart.

The two are contradictory.

With Richards' strength, he can only be a backup central defender in Manchester City, or go to the Championship team as the main force.

But in Richards' heart, he actually wanted to show himself on a higher stage.

Richards knew that he was not strong enough, so he could only restrain himself.

Last season, the team invested a total of 2000 million pounds, so that Richards was shocked.

Although he himself cannot play for a higher team because of his limited ability, but if the team can build a stronger lineup, then Richards can also realize his ambitions in Manchester City.

But things backfired, and the lineup that Pierce built with a lot of money has become the laughing stock of the entire Premier League.

Although the defense is good, but on offense, the team is lackluster.

Cody LS Maras, which was introduced with a lot of money, did not perform well.

That's why Richards wanted to transfer, Barton came to settle accounts with him, and then Barton was put into the reserve team.

Later, Pierce dismissed get out of class, and Button was forgotten in the reserve team.

But Richards, who stayed in the team, began to miss Button.

Although Barton is unreasonable and aggressive, no one doubts Barton's blocking ability in the midfield.

In the last few games, although the offense was sharp, they scored 5 goals in 14 games; but they also conceded 6 goals.

Without Barton's protection, Manchester City's weak line of defense was directly exposed to the guns of the great powers.

And he, Richards, is also the most criticized player on the team.

Because of his lack of ability, this point of his will often become a point for opponents to focus on researching.

Alexander!
