king of world football

As the Manchester City crowd boarded a plane back to Manchester, thousands of fans poured into the streets, waiting for the heroes to be revealed and the trophy to shine.

The airport specifically allowed the parade convertible to drive all the way to the tarmac, and the three domestic heavyweight championship trophies had already been placed in the car.

When Kompany appeared holding the Big Ear Cup high, there was endless applause and camera shutters in the hands of reporters. This celebration was broadcast live by three local TV stations in England.

Entering the city from the airport, all the way north to the Etihad Stadium, the whole journey is about 18 kilometers. This journey, which originally only took half an hour, took more than five hours, because there are too many fans welcome in the lanes, which is crazy.

Wang Feng only held up the trophy to show off twice at the beginning, and then left the most conspicuous place for his teammates to let them go crazy.

But along the way, you can hear fans chanting his name at any time. The Chinese superstar has already convinced the city.

After finally arriving at the destination, Kompany, Aguero, Fernandinho and Wang Feng each held a trophy and walked into the Etihad Stadium with others. They were greeted with deafening cheers and screams.

A stage and a long display table were set up near the middle circle, and after several people put away the trophy, the championship ceremony officially kicked off.

The club has arranged a lot of performances in a unique way. In addition to local special songs and dances, there is even a Chinese traditional martial arts performance that looks good. I have to say that I am distracted.

After singing "Blue Moon", the players and the coaching staff made declarations of winning the championship one by one.

When it was Wang Feng's turn, he said: "Thank you very much for your love, thank you to all your teammates, the coaching staff and the staff of the club. Without your efforts, the team would not have achieved such a great honor."

"When I first set foot on this stadium a year ago, I promised the fans that I would bring results to the team, and now I have not broken my promise."

"In the future, we will continue to work hard to create endless brilliance for the blue moon!"

As soon as the voice fell, thunderous applause broke out at the scene, which did not stop for a long time.

After all the players spoke, Guardiola stepped forward and said that he has fallen in love with this city and this team, and vowed to create the Blue Moon Dynasty, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax again.

.........

The carnival in Manchester lasted from morning to night, and when night fell, fireworks were set off at the Etihad Stadium to celebrate.

The outside world is extremely lively, and in the administrative office of the stadium, the main personnel who will affect the future of the club are gathered in place to discuss the upcoming summer signing strategy.

Mansour still left early. He had many important national affairs to attend to. Now he is satisfied and plans to no longer manage the specific matters of the team. Everything will be decided by the CEO and other high-level officials.

Before leaving, he took time to meet with Wang Feng, expressed his joy and gratitude, and said that the royal family of Abu Dhabi would always cherish their friendship with him.

Currently, the biggest problem facing club CEO Soriano is transformation. In the past, Manchester City invested no matter the cost to win the championship. Now that they have achieved rich achievements, they must learn to invest rationally and plan for the future.

Guardiola agrees with this very much. Just as he promised in front of the fans before, he did not come to Blue Moon solely for the high salary, but more because he wanted to realize his ambition and become a top coach like Ancelotti.

"This summer window is mainly to solve the problem of bloated lineup. This is the cleaning staff I have planned." The Spanish coach said and handed the list to several people.

Soriano was surprised when he saw it, "A total of 23 people? My God, is it too radical?"

"No, this is the conclusion of the coaching staff after careful consideration. The goal of hoarding last season has been successfully achieved, and there is no need to maintain such a high consumption."

"Well, we don't have higher requirements for grades for the time being. You can spend a few years to lay a good foundation."

Guardiola nodded: "The other is the core issue of tactics. Next, I will gradually build a team around young players. The importance of Wang has declined."

"This is more sensitive. After all, he is a world-renowned football god. The boss personally invited him back. His outstanding performance this season is obvious to all." Soriano rubbed his chin.

"Of course I understand that if the Chinese superstar is even two years younger, I believe no coach in the world can refuse to use him as the core to build a system."

"But he is 34 years old and I have to take responsibility for the future of the team."

Then Guardiola added: "This does not mean that it will shake Wang's starting position as the main force, but that the tactical layout is different."

"We also hope that he can continue to play a role at critical moments. Of course, I have also discussed this with the Chinese superstar, and he thinks there is nothing wrong with it."

Soriano nodded: "That's good. As for the arrangements on the field, you professionals are in charge. I just want to say that the king's status deserves to be respected. Don't cause conflicts because of these trivial matters."

.........

The Spanish coach has been vigorous and resolute. He waited until the second day after the championship celebration to start his own comprehensive cleaning.

Players, including many original main players, left the team one after another, such as Fernando transferred to the Turkish Super League Galatasaray for 525 pounds, Kolarov was sold to Roma for 500 million pounds, and Zavaletta and Navas did not renew their contracts. Free transfers to West Ham and Sevilla and more.

There is also a relatively stable rotation Nolito sold to Sevilla for 900 million pounds, and Junal sold to Villarreal for 1400 million pounds.

After some operations, Manchester City's transfer income reached about 1 million pounds, the highest in recent years. Coupled with the salaries for these players, it freed up a large amount of expenses.

Such a big move naturally attracted the attention of many media fans, and various rumors and analyzes emerged one after another.

Some said that it is very wise to lose weight for the team, while others said that it is abnormal to win the championship but rebuild. Shouldn't they maintain the status quo and continue to hit the trophy in the new season?

What's more, it is believed that the local tyrants in the United Arab Emirates intend to withdraw their capital and run away after realizing their dreams, so Manchester City sold out and recovered their blood.

This argument was so eye-catching that many people believed it to be true, and even a small-scale panic arose within the Manchester City team.

But soon the club used piles of heavy signings to make the rumors self-defeating. They were not short of funds, but wanted to use them wisely.

The first is the introduction of Monaco defender Benjamin Mendy with 5200 million pounds, which set a new record for the transfer fee of a football defender.

Later, under the recommendation of Wang Feng, he bought Real Madrid right back Danilo for 2600 million pounds. The Chinese superstar in the Galaxy Warship period thought this kid was good.

Negotiations with Tottenham Walker were a bit troublesome. The player himself has a strong desire to join, but the North London team does not want him to stay in the Premier League and threaten itself.

After several pulls, the floating terms of 4500 million pounds + 500 million pounds were finally set.

Guardiola's full-backs have always played an important role in the pass control system, but several players were not satisfied with their performance in the just-concluded season, so he focused on signings in this area.

There are also 4300 million pounds to introduce B-Silva from Monaco, 3400 million pounds to introduce Ederson from Benfica, 1000 million pounds to introduce Luiz from Vasco da Gama and so on.

All in all, Manchester City still invested more than 2 million pounds in the transfer market.
