Chapter 15 Quite a Sense of Achievement

On April 9, 1975, a football genius was born, and he was Robbie Fowler.

Children in Liverpool City will always have a favorite team since childhood, either Liverpool or Everton.

The same goes for Robbie Fowler. He wanted to like Everton instead of Liverpool, but it was a Liverpool scout who discovered Maxima, making Fowler a member of Liverpool's youth training camp.

In 1994, the year Evans took over Liverpool, the team underwent a major change. The young Fowler and his friend McManaman stepped on the stage of the Premier League. No one thought that it was the first time he played for the Red Army. In the second game, the fledgling Fowler arranged all five goals of Liverpool, and became famous since then.

The talented killer Fowler's continuous goals made him immediately replace his idol - Rush, known as a generation of talent, and become the new favorite of Liverpool fans.

Robbie Fowler has outstanding skills and outstanding ability. He has a keen sense of smell in the penalty area, can shoot left and right, has excellent skills, and can do anything a striker needs to do. Therefore, he is also known as the best player in England after Gascoigne. Talented player.

Before the 1998 World Cup, the Liverpool striker combination of Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen made their opponents fearful.

It's a pity that there are always twists and turns in genius. In the 1998 World Cup, at this critical moment, Robbie Fowler's cruciate ligament was injured. This injury was fatal to Robbie, which directly caused him to fail to meet Owen. Appeared together in the World Cup in France.

Not only did he miss the World Cup, but more importantly, after the World Cup, England's future became that of another Liverpool talent, Michael Owen, while the equally outstanding Robbie Fowler could only drag on. My own injured thigh, looking at others with infinite beauty.

After his return from injury, Robbie Fowler's state was also greatly affected, and he was reduced to the point where he could only focus on regaining the main position from the Husky.

The following year, he moved to Real Madrid with his friend McManaman. Soon Robbie Fowler found that it might only be a matter of time before he left Anfield.

The former Prince of Anfield, affectionately known as God's genius killer by Liverpool fans, finally took off the red robe that brought him countless glory after scoring 171 goals in 330 games on behalf of Liverpool. Officially moved to Leeds United for £11 million.

However. A killer is always a killer, and genius is not so easily wiped out.

In December 2001, Fowler scored his first hat-trick in Leeds United; on January 2, 2002, in Leeds United's home game with West Ham United, Fowler scored his transfer for a month. On March 18, 2002, in the 2001-2002 Premier League, Fowler scored 2 goals in 3 minutes, helping Leeds United to win a winning streak. It was also his 11th goal in the last 17 games...

Robbie Fowler at Leeds United is almost omnipotent!

It's a pity that God is jealous of Yingcai. Soon Fowler fell again in front of the injury pass. Due to a hip injury, Fowler missed most of the games at the end of the season. In the new season, he has few opportunities to play.

Even so, he was still able to dedicate one goal to the team and applause from fans in a short and limited time.

After years of flirting with Robbie Fowler, God is still reluctant to let him go. Leeds United's financial black hole, so that the club can only significantly transfer players. Outsiders like Robbie Fowler were certainly not spared.

At the age of 28, Robbie Fowler came to Manchester. He started his darkest and most difficult career. His constant injuries at Manchester City made his appearances extremely unstable. Fortunately, he was in good shape every time he played. Coupled with his natural killer talent, his scoring efficiency was not bad. Yes, and now the only striker that can be mentioned in Manchester City's frontcourt is him.

Anyone who knows Robbie Fowler must admit that if there is no injury, he may have the opportunity to become the best striker in England. The sense of smell and excellent and comprehensive skills born in front of the goal are by no means an ordinary frontcourt player. can have.

Many people can only sigh when they talk about Robbie Fowler...

Wansheng will also sigh for Robbie Fowler. After all, this is a real striker killer. Unlike others, he not only sighs, but also helps Robbie Fowler. With the task system of the football training master, It will definitely allow Robbie Fowler's injury to recover faster and be more stable. At the same time, it can also cure his dark injury and improve his physical condition, which will definitely reduce the possibility of him getting injured again.

In this way, Wansheng is equivalent to creating an injury-free Robbie Fowler.

An uninjured Robbie Fowler is absolutely every opponent's nightmare. As long as Robbie Fowler's state is guaranteed, the team's frontcourt will not have efficiency problems.

Wansheng has been looking forward to it.

A Robbie Fowler can guarantee the efficiency of the frontcourt, but a Robbie Fowler alone is definitely unstable. Even if there is a football training master system, it is only to minimize the possibility of injury, and it is impossible to guarantee 100%. Injuries, not to mention, the striker can't be on one person, so the team's striker still needs to be supplemented.

The best thing to do is to add a top-quality striker, like Michael Owen for Real Madrid...

In fact, after Wan Sheng became the Manchester City coach, when he thought of Robbie Fowler, he thought of Michael Owen. The combination of the two was once known as the strongest striker in England.

If Michael Owen can be recruited into the team, then the classic striker combination can be recreated.

Michael Owen's year at Real Madrid was definitely a tragedy, in good physical condition, but only as a substitute, which even affected his performance in the national team.

During this period, many media are also talking about Michael Owen, because he has made it clear that he wants to return to the Premier League.

The memory of the previous life told Wansheng that Michael Owen did not stay in Real Madrid for a long time, which means that he is likely to return to the Premier League this summer, and he did not join Liverpool.

Wansheng doesn’t have much impression of what team Owen has transferred to, but since Owen can return to the Premier League, Manchester City will definitely have a chance. Unfortunately, the team’s current transfer funds are limited. Even if Wright-Phillips is sold at a high price, it is impossible to free up over 10 million pounds of transfer funds for him, so Owen doesn't have to think about it.

Therefore, to supplement the striker, we can only find players who are not well-known, or players who are on free transfers.

There is a player that is already 80% finalized. That's veteran Andy Cole.

Black Wind Shuangsha. It is a commemorative term.

The leading striker of the Premier League giant Manchester United at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, Andy Cole and York formed Shuangsha, because they were black, so they were dubbed the 'Black Wind Shuangsha', the frontcourt of the 'Black Wind Shuangsha' The whirlwind has frightened countless Premier League defenders.

While helping Manchester United become the "Triple Crown Champion", it also achieved the story of "Black Wind and Two Demons".

Now Andy Cole, one of the "Black Wind Shuangsha", is infinitely close to Manchester City.

Although already a 34-year-old veteran. But Andy Cole scored 14 league goals for Fulham last season. As Fulham's top scorer, the scoring efficiency is still guaranteed, but after the end of the season, because of conflicts with head coach Coleman, he could not continue to renew his contract and became a free agent.

Soon Andy Cole's agent contacted Manchester City. Manchester City already lacked strikers. If Wan Sheng had not become Manchester City's coach, Andy Cole would have already belonged to Manchester City, and now he is waiting for Wan Sheng to make a decision. .

Wan Sheng thought about it carefully. Still decided to sign Andy Cole.

Wan Sheng prefers to sign some young and promising players, but his coaching experience tells him. Veterans can often play a very good role, especially veterans like Andy Cole who are in guaranteed form. He can ensure his form and efficiency as long as he plays, and the veteran can also impart some experience to the newcomers, which is very important to any ball. Teams are a valuable asset.

What's more, Andy Cole is still a free agent, and he doesn't need to spend a penny in transfer fees at all. It's better to sign him to supplement the striker.

However, Andy Cole is not the only striker that Wansheng wants to introduce. He prefers to get a really efficient and aggressive young striker. He is looking for Darren Bent who plays for Ipswich.

Wansheng tried Darren Bent's idea two years ago, but it's a pity that Derby County had almost no transfer funds at that time. As a second-level league team, it would not be more attractive than Ipswich. The second year He got Rafael Vander Vaart again, so Darren Bent wasn't needed.

Manchester City's striker now definitely needs a young talent.

Whether it's Robbie Fowler or Andy Cole, they're a little old. Even if they can guarantee their appearance and state, the team should always increase some vitality in the third line, so that the game and tactics can be played more flexibly, so young It is necessary to change some, and from a tactical point of view, Andy Cole and Robbie Fowler are not pure forwards. They are better as second forwards. Naturally, they need to add a strong front. striker.

Darren Bent fits the bill.

He is only 21 years old, his state and strength are on the rise, his speed is very fast, and he has a strong ability to grab points in front of the goal. Although he is not that kind of tall center, his jumping ability is quite good, and his header is naturally not bad.

Such a player, although not as good as Ruud van Nistelrooy, Henry, Shevchenko and the like, is definitely quite outstanding. In addition to the attribute bonuses of the football training master system, as well as the ability bonuses of various coaching skills, even if It is still a little immature, and it is enough to compare with the world's top strikers.

In addition, on the better side, Darren Bent has only proved himself in the second league. His worth is not too high, certainly not more than 5 million pounds, which is within the range of Manchester City. .

That's why Wansheng desperately wants Darren Bent.

Now it is not easy to get a player who can play the best striker in the world. As long as he has some fame, he will be worth more than 10 million pounds, such as Darren Bent, a player with strength, state, and low value. , I can't find any more in all of Europe.

So after making the decision, Wansheng immediately notified the club to start the transfer of Darren Bent. At the same time, he also asked people to find Darren Bent's phone number, intending to talk to Darren Bent in person.

It can be seen from this that Wansheng attaches great importance to Darren Bent.

Now, for the transfer of ordinary players, he can only leave it to the club. It is best to reach a deal, but if he cannot reach a deal, he will consider other people, but Darren Bent has to make a phone call himself.

Obviously, Darren Bent is also a little flattered.

At this time, he was on a beach vacation with his girlfriend Miffalo. He was lying on the beach. Miffalo was stacking a pile of sand, and then he saw the phone screen light up, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on it.

"Didn't you tell your friends that you were on vacation with me? Why did they still call..." Miffalo complained.

Darren Bent smiled, still picked up the phone and dialed the answer button, and immediately heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the opposite side, "Hello, is this Darren Bent?"

"Yes." Darren Bent replied indifferently.

"Hello, I'm Wan Sheng, the head coach of Manchester City. I'm sorry that calling at this time has affected you, but I'm very optimistic about your future. I hope you can consider joining..."

Wan Sheng spoke directly, but was immediately interrupted by Darren Bent's surprised voice, "Who do you say you are?"

"Manchester City coach Wan Sheng!?"

"Manchester City coach Wan Sheng! My God! God!" Darren Bent couldn't hold back his surprise any longer. He stood up directly and asked, "You are Wan Sheng... sir? You say you Watch me, wish I was on your team? Oh! God!"

"..."

Wan Sheng was speechless, he just listened.

"I really can't think of it, Charlton was very interested in me before, I thought it must be going to Charlton, I really didn't think about Manchester City, but you called, I was really surprised... I mean, yes, it's hard for me to decide between Charlton and Manchester City, but if it's between you and Mr Kubishley, I'd definitely choose you!"

"Of course, as long as the club agrees, I'm on your side, I'd love to join your team, that's great! You're a coach who can create miracles, and I can't help but think of being on the championship stage next year. !"

"I've been thinking about why Derby County can win the Premier League, and in the end I can only come to the conclusion, like those media reports said, it's all your credit, your ability to lead the team is better than The others are much better, and I think if I go to Manchester City, I'll be able to do well too..."

Next, Darren Bent spoke again, and Wan Sheng listened while pressing his forehead, but he felt good. The player he wanted to invite was actually his admirer, and he complimented himself on the phone. , which is different than expected, but better than expected.

The final conversation between the two came to a successful conclusion.

Darren Bent has repeatedly assured that he will prefer to join Manchester City, of course, provided that the transfer fee from Manchester City is not too shabby, Wansheng also praised Darren Bent's goal last season by the way, between two or three sentences. Darren Bent almost jumped for joy.

It was an amazing conversation after all.

After putting down the phone, Wan Sheng was still a little confused, but he found that being famous is also very good, just like the call just now, he originally prepared a lot of rhetoric, and even prepared to say some promises, but he didn't say anything. That said, Darren Bent agreed immediately after hearing his name.

This is really... quite a sense of accomplishment... (To be continued ~^~)
