Hexagonal monster crushing European football

Chapter 273: Were you No. 1 in the Premier League?

In mid-week, Manchester City officially announced that Everton's main defender Stones has joined Manchester City.

Due to the winter window, no team is willing to let him go, so Stones' worth is overflowing a lot.

Fifty-five million euros is still a bit shocking for a defender.

However, Manchester City's excellent record so far has made Guardiola and the management realize that the defense must be strengthened as soon as possible.

In this case, spending an extra 10 million euros is not a big deal for Manchester City.

Tottenham is determined not to let go of another full-back Guardiola is interested in, Kyle Walker.

Unless Manchester City comes up with a transfer fee of 100 million euros.

Even if Manchester City were taken advantage of, they would not be so crazy.

And Manchester City's powerful legal team has given advice that no more money can be spent this season.

Otherwise, even they will not be able to withstand UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act.

It’s better to wait until next season’s summer window to make any purchases.

Another full-back that Guardiola is very interested in, Real Madrid's Danilo, also failed to join.

Real Madrid still needs to maintain the competitiveness of the league and the Champions League, and they will not let go of Danilo, who is the main rotation.

Of course, when Manchester City asked Real Madrid about Danilo's transfer, Florentino gave another plan.

They are willing to let Danilo join Manchester City in the form of a loan buyout, and are willing to provide an additional transfer fee of 2.2 million euros to buy Zhao Yi.

Moreover, Zhao Yi can play a whole season in Manchester City and wait until the summer window to join Real Madrid.

It is equivalent to letting Zhao Yi play for Manchester City for free this season.

Also get a free Danilo.

Real Madrid is also willing to compensate Manchester City in some form for Zhao Yi's salary this season.

Lafayette's exact words, "This is so sincere, isn't it?"

The angry Manchester City management threatened to use planes loaded with cash to buy Ronaldo next season.

The first negotiation between the two parties ended in an unhappy atmosphere.

This means that Manchester City's reinforcements in the winter window were not smooth, and they only bought one Stones.

Manchester City beat Everton to the ground in the league. As a result, Everton even sold its main center back to Manchester City.

Many people speculated that there might be some shady transactions involved.

For example, Manchester City will defeat Everton in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals, allowing Everton, which has no results in the league, to advance in the League Cup.

Of course, these are just some speculations from some conspiracy theory fans.

Stones is tall and has good passing vision and forward ability.

But his frontal defensive ability is not good enough.

In fact, the defensive ability of Manchester City's defense has not been greatly improved.

Manchester City's real defense problem is still the two wingers.

As a result, not a single useful one was purchased.

If Manchester City wants to improve its defensive capabilities, it can only start with ball control.

As long as the ball is lost less, the pressure on the defense will be much less.

For this transfer, Manchester City officials gave Stones a lot of pomp, including a press conference and a welcome ceremony.

It's a pity that the fans don't buy it very much. Manchester City fans are now eagerly waiting for the weekend's league game.

At the press conference, Stones expressed his blessings for Everton and his honor to join Manchester City.

"Manchester City is a great club, and you can only truly feel how powerful they are when you play against them.

It's an honor to work with such a great group of players.

I will do my best to help the club complete the next game tasks. "

On January 1, the 16nd round of the Premier League kicked off.

Manchester City sits at the Etihad Stadium and faces the challenge of Crystal Palace.

In the first round of the league match between the two sides, Manchester City won by one goal away from home.

In the League Cup, Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 5:1.

In this Manchester City home game, from the outside world, it is not difficult for Manchester City to win.

The focus is not on the outcome of the two sides, but on another matter.

As long as Zhao Yi scores one goal, he can tie the Premier League's single-season scoring record.

This record is nothing to fans of other teams.

But this time is different. Zhao Yiyong has played too few games.

There are so few that fans think the Premier League has become La Liga.

This monster has not appeared in the Premier League for decades since its inception.

Therefore, fans who follow the Premier League are more or less attracted to this game.

They all want to witness the birth of a new era in the Premier League.

The fans have been waiting for two rounds, and neither time got what they wanted to see.

This has made fans a little impatient.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew said in a pre-match interview that he knew what the fans wanted to see.

For fans, the outcome of this game may no longer be important.

But he is a professional head coach and winning is his only concern.

Therefore, he will not give up the team's victory in order to block Zhao Yi like other teams.

He will treat this game as the most ordinary league game.

Zhao Yi's record has nothing to do with him.

The team's victory is what matters.

They will cause problems for Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

This was said very domineeringly.

Guardiola has the same attitude. Zhao Yi's scoring record is very exciting, but the team's victory is more important.

He will make adjustments to the lineup based on the situation on the field.

Maybe Zhao Yi will be substituted during the game.

No one knows what will happen.

Before the game started, Manchester City fans had already packed the Etihad Stadium.

Outside the stadium there were passionate Manchester City fans everywhere.

And, of course, there are fans wearing red jerseys.

These are fans who have come all the way from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Last time, they beat the Manchester City fans to pieces with too much punch and too little punch.

This time, there was no bloodshed.

Instead they received a warm welcome from Manchester City fans.

"If the Crystal Palace coach keeps his word and deceives us, we will smash the Crystal Palace bus to pieces!" the Wolverhampton Wanderers fan leader solemnly swore in front of a group of fans, and received a round of applause.

There were also Manchester City fans booing.

Manchester City fans are not good at fighting, but they are really good at playing tricks on others.

“Once again we will be witnesses!!!”

"One~three~" As the fan leader shouted, Wolverhampton Wanderers fans waved flags and shouted in unison.

The nearby Manchester City fans didn't know what kind of strange ritual this was, but seeing their passion, they were quite affected.

And this slogan is very simple, but it sounds very domineering.

Soon, the entire Etihad Stadium was filled with earth-shaking "Long Live" roars.

Even in the stadium, you can hear it clearly.

Zhao Yi stood in the players' tunnel. There was a rainbow of singing in the stadium, and the shouts of "Long Live" outside the stadium made his scalp numb.

He didn't know who had taught him this.
