Chapter 13 The Backline

Wansheng is a football coach, not a pure businessman. He couldn't figure out how to sell his players at a high price in the first place, but what is certain is that no matter what, he must not sell them now.

The summer transfer work has just begun at this time. The offers of each team to the players are only tentative attitudes. The ones that can make a final deal are the kind of three-party deals that you like and willing, such as Wright-Phillips, Without their own words, Manchester City Club will definitely drag on, because everyone knows that although Chelsea are willing to spend money, it is difficult for them to buy good players and drag them back. If Chelsea can still make up their minds, they will Must pay a higher price.

So Wansheng immediately asked the club's staff to announce that Wright-Phillips was a 'not for sale' of Manchester City.

'Not for sale' is a noun, indicating that the player is very important to the club, but in the world of football, there is a saying called 'there is no not for sale', any player has a value, as long as he can afford the price, any 'not for sale' will can talk.

But the important thing is the weight of the 'not for sale'.

Before Manchester City announced that Wright-Phillips was "not for sale", it didn't have any weight at all. Everyone knew that Manchester City was under economic pressure. They were almost overwhelmed by external debts. Finally, the team came out with Wright-Phillips. , was also favored by the wealthy Chelsea. It is strange that they are not in a hurry to sell Wright-Phillips to Chelsea. The 'not for sale' is purely a price hike.

Now the announcement is different, because this news has the shadow of Wansheng.

We all know that Wan Sheng is the head coach of Manchester City. He must have the absolute support of Chairman Wald when he came to Manchester City. A large number of Manchester City fans and media also have a sense of what this young Chinese will transform Manchester City into. Interested while being a head coach. They seldom consider the value of the players. As long as the players are beneficial to their own construction, they must be retained. This is the same reason that Chelsea is eager to buy Wright-Phillips to supplement the lineup, because this must be Chelsea. Coach Mourinho's handwriting.

So be 'not for sale' news. Tag Wansheng. In addition, Wansheng's external speech was also attached. When talking about the importance of Wright Phillips to the team, the credibility naturally increased a lot.

"Little Wright is the most outstanding talent in England in recent years! He will be the core player of Manchester City, I will not sell him to anyone, especially competitors, that is impossible..."

"Mourinho needs Wright Jr.? No, he's 'not for sale'! Unless...he can sell Terry to us..."

The last sentence is for the importance of Wright-Phillips. Compare him to Chelsea captain John Terry. It is impossible for Chelsea to sell Terry, which naturally shows that Wright Phillips is also very important.

In fact, Wansheng actually has some implicit meaning in saying this, that is, it is okay for Chelsea to buy Wright-Phillips. In addition to the transfer funds, they have to pay the players in exchange.

Wansheng has long been interested in some of Chelsea's young players, such as Glen Johnson, the absolute main force of the future England defender. The situation is not very good now, he is only 21 years old. Last year, he only got more appearances, and as a result, he has to face the competitive pressure of Paulo Ferreira, the direct descendant of Mourinho. Last season, Johnson's appearances also decreased a lot.

Such a young talent is absolutely a waste under Mourinho. The latter hardly needs to cultivate talent or anything. He only needs to use those powerful stars.

But if you really want to buy Glen Johnson from Chelsea, it is almost impossible. Chelsea is not short of money, and they will not sell young talents. It is estimated that even if young talents are rotten in their hands, they do not want to sell them. If you want to poach people from Chelsea, you must have other ways, such as the way of Abramovich’s personal relationship, and another example is to trade with them to exchange players.

Wan Sheng and Abramovich knew each other and had a good personal relationship. He even had Abramovich's personal phone number. When he just left Derby County, Abramovich made a special call to express his condolences. , asked him euphemistically if he wanted to come to Chelsea, of course, not as a manager, but as Mourinho's assistant, Abramovich even promised him 'a salary second only to Mourinho' , In any case, this is an incomparable temptation for a young coach who has only coached for two years and is only 28 years old.

Of course, Wansheng politely refused.

It is impossible for him to give up being the head coach to fight for Mourinho, even if Abramovich revealed that if Mourinho leaves Chelsea, he has a chance to take over in the future, but how many years later?

All in all, his personal relationship with Abramovich is not bad, but Wansheng doesn’t want to use this to help Manchester City buy players. The personal relationship is a personal relationship. He is the head coach of Manchester City, Abramovich. He is the chairman of Chelsea. If the two are in the same position, for example, he is the chairman of Manchester City, he would not mind using personal relationships to help the team buy players, because the club is his own, but he is only the head coach, business is still the same. Public office is better.

So Wansheng's choice is the latter.

Since Mourinho needs Wright-Phillips, it is not too much for him to pay a small price to exchange players who are not needed in the squad.

......

After working with Wright-Phillips, Wansheng began to analyze the data problems of the football training master system.

After officially becoming the Manchester City coach, the football training master system also 'updated' the data. In his player list, the names have become the current Manchester City players. The former Derby County players can only be found in the players' union.

These players who can only be found in the players' union can still view the strength data, but because many people can no longer enjoy the 'player's union ability bonus', their personal strength evaluation has declined. Among them, the 'elders' members can directly Enjoying the union ability bonus, the decline is not much, but Wansheng is no longer the coach of Derby County, and they are not 'the team' players, naturally they can't enjoy the 'double ability bonus of the elder players', so the overall personal ability attribute superior. still declined.

However, this decline is not very serious. After all, many Derby County players have been promoted to now rely on the task system of the football training master. As long as they are still in the players' union, the personal ability they have improved before will not be reduced, but they will no longer enjoy the players. Only the attribute bonus of the union and coach skills.

It can be said. Now Wansheng is the one who can decide their fate.

As long as Wansheng kicks them out of the players union. The strength of many people will have a great decline, which will have a great impact on them, even if it is a future star like Vidic.

Take Vidic for example, even if there is no football training master system, he can still become the main center back of a top team in a few years, but that is 'a few years later', and he is still very immature now. Young in game experience. Personal abilities are just beginning.

During his one year at Derby County, there was a football training master task system. His improvement was huge. This improvement was enough to make him compete with the real top central defenders. If Wansheng expelled him from the players' union now, he would The strength will naturally return to the original level, and there must be a big decline.

From a world-class central defender, he became a 'promising young player' again. This is by no means acceptable to ordinary people. In short, Vidic will feel as if he is 'not in the state'. This kind of psychological blow may be even bigger than the real strength.

However, under normal circumstances, Wansheng doesn't need to expel the players from the players' union. These players are all trained by him. They have been with each other for a long time, and their personal relationships are very good. There is no need for him to do that.

He was just changing team coaches for the first time to understand the functions of the system. His main purpose was to understand the current players.

After some careful understanding, we can start to transform the team.

Soon, Wansheng found the place that had to be transformed - the team's back line.

Manchester City's back line is not bad, even speaking, this back line is definitely at the forefront in the Premier League, and it is relying on a solid defense that "Kean's Manchester City" did not collapse in the chaos.

But that's all.

This back line is too old, too old!

Unless you are a player who has been training with Wansheng for a long time, Wansheng’s favorite is young players, especially young players around 18 years old. Such players are very malleable. Using the football training master system, they can also improve their strength as soon as possible. It is important The thing is, they can adapt to new tactics as soon as possible, instead of being unable to adapt to the new tactical system because of the loss of 'plasticity', the football style is completely stereotyped.

The Manchester City defence has lost its plasticity.

28-year-old Mills, 27-year-old Dunn, 28-year-old Distin, 30-year-old Satchell, plus a 28-year-old substitute Sun Jihai... This defensive line is a bit old, The key is that no player really has 'plasticity'. It has become very difficult for players over 28 to rely on the football training master system to improve. The key is that their football style has long been established, and it is difficult to adapt to the new situation. tactical routines, that is, it is difficult for them to follow the team's training rhythm.

Such a back line must be transformed.

Fortunately, Leto Ziegler has moved to Derby County. With this strong young teenager, he can always add some vitality to the back line.

Wan Sheng thought about it and decided to start with the full-back players first.

In any case, the central defender will always need stability. Distin is the team captain. The defensive line formed by him and Dunn is very stable. Even if there is no transformation, it can be considered to rely on them to stabilize the defense.

Full-backs are different. Full-backs need more flexibility and can only be eliminated. So Mills and Satchell are destined to leave. They need to make room for young players.

Soon Wansheng announced his first decision to sell his players after he took over. He asked the athletics department to put Satchel and Mills up for sale.

This decision was sudden, and there would definitely be many opposing voices. Wan Sheng had already prepared in his heart, and he didn't care at all, but what he didn't expect was that before the voice of opposition came, the voice of support came first.

After Satcher and Mills were listed, the Chinese media got excited first.
