Chapter 158 New Season, Set Sail

Manchester City are much more attractive than Hertha Berlin.

The Premier League is hotter and more influential than the Bundesliga. In addition, Manchester City was the league champion last season. Although it is not as good as Manchester United, Arsenal and other giants, a team that has just won the top league championship must be on the rise. Brilliant moment, this is always much better than the declining Hertha Berlin.

Hertha Berlin is the team in the German capital, but in fact, they are not ranked among German football clubs.

The Bundesliga has always been dominated by Bayern Munich, followed by Stuttgart, Dortmund and other giants. In addition, Werder Bremen, which has risen in recent years, has also become a German noble, but it has nothing to do with Hertha Berlin. Hertha Berlin, as long as they perform well, will definitely leave for other teams, so Boateng faced the choice between Manchester City and Hertha Berlin, and he chose the former without hesitation.

What attracts him the most is actually the manager of Manchester City, namely Wansheng.

In recent years, the most famous coach in Europe is Mourinho, because he led the Portuguese giants Porto to the top of Europe, but after that, it was Wansheng, and he led Derby County and Manchester City to win consecutive Premier League titles.

Wansheng's ability to cultivate young people has also spread beyond England, all over Europe and even the world.

In the past few years, there are countless outstanding young people under Wansheng - Ribery and Van der Vaart are the best among them, Bolton Reiter and Alfred have also performed steadily in the top league, and Leiden- Baines, Lescott, Leto Ziegler, Leon Osman, David Silva, Darren Bent last season, etc. In just three seasons, there are so many young people The players can perform well, which also proves Wansheng's ability to cultivate young people. Many people have put him and Wenger together, and some people say that Wenger is actually not as good as Wansheng. One thing that can be seen is that young players under Wansheng will become famous faster, while young players from Arsenal often take a few years to adapt to the top game.

This is the gap.

Therefore. Boateng's agent Nobauer. Only dare to imagine that Boateng may become a member of the German national team in a few years, and Boateng himself cannot refuse the call of Wansheng.

In this way, Hertha Berlin came under pressure from both Manchester City and Boateng.

The pressure on Manchester City doesn't matter. They insist on not selling players, and Manchester City can't do anything about it. After all, Boateng belongs to Hertha Berlin, but Boateng has to go. Hertha Berlin knew they couldn't keep it. Because their contract with Boateng is not a real professional contract, and the liquidated damages are only more than two million euros, which is even lower than Boateng's current worth.

Hertha Berlin are naturally annoyed, they know that Manchester City must have contacted Boateng privately, which is not allowed under UEFA regulations.

But they have no way.

The Premier League club Chelsea is the club that has violated this rule continuously in recent years, but UEFA still has no way, because of some regulations and penalties, Chelsea simply doesn't care. What's more, it's not just the Chelsea family who do this. In fact, many clubs do this. This is a default rule in the football world, but Chelsea has gone too far and was caught.

Now it's Manchester City's turn. They must have contacted Boateng privately. Otherwise, Boateng's attitude would not have changed so quickly, but they have no evidence. In modern society, everything requires evidence. Without evidence, it is useless to know it is a fact. , because UEFA will not sanction a club based on a guess.

So Hertha Berlin can only press annoyed and think about how to deal with this.

In fact, there is nothing to think about. Boateng himself wants to leave, and they can't stop it. The only thing they can do is hope to get more transfer fees.

Manchester City didn't go too far.

Although Wansheng called Boateng privately and told him that he was very optimistic about him and hoped that he would come to Manchester City to play football, the transfer was still proceeding as normal and smooth. Manchester City gave Hertha Berlin an offer of 3 million euros, which is a pair For young players who have not landed in the professional league, it is almost a price that cannot be refused.

Even if Boateng is a genius... but what about a genius? There are too many geniuses in Europe to count! How many can really grow up? Will Boateng be a special one? No one can guarantee this.

So Hertha Berlin was quite satisfied with the transfer fee, plus Boateng was leaving, the two clubs quickly finalized the transfer, and then Manchester City gave Boateng a regular professional contract.

From then on, Boateng was a regular professional player.

Due to Wansheng's intervention and urging, Boateng's transfer proceeded very quickly. In just three days, everything was done. On the afternoon of finalizing the contract, Manchester City officials had not yet chosen Boateng to join him. Teng has arrived in Manchester with his agent Norball.

Wan Sheng met Boateng.

He still attaches great importance to Boateng. In his memory, this young man is the main defender of Germany in the future, and he is quite famous in the team. Kicked out, which shows that his talent is supreme.

This is a talented defender no less than Koppelle Ferreira. It should be said that the two have their own strengths in football talent.

After all, they are geniuses.

The difference is that Koppelle Ferreira has already shown his prominence in Manchester City, occupying an absolute main position. Boateng is younger. He has just joined the professional league, but in the new season, he must also be the team's backcourt. Important addition.

Boateng and his agent Nobauer came to Manchester City in a hurry. After the transfer was completed, the two came directly without even finding a place in advance. This shows how much Boateng wants to join Manchester City. urgent.

Wansheng can understand this mentality.

An 18-year-old young man is always full of hope for the future, and he will look forward to becoming a big star that attracts everyone's attention.

Coming to Manchester City was an opportunity, so Boateng came.

When Wan Sheng saw Boateng, he saw the enthusiasm and fighting spirit in the eyes of this young man.

But before Wansheng spoke, Boateng walked over and said directly, "You are Mr. Wansheng! I have seen you many times on the news! Is it true that you said you were optimistic about me on the phone? Sorry, I am not. Doubtful. But so excited! I still can't believe it..."

Wan Sheng didn't expect Boateng's reaction to be so intense, he smiled slightly and said, "Young man, you should believe in yourself!"

Boateng, who was confirmed by Wansheng, was even more excited. So he said. "Nobauer said to come back in a few days, but I think it should come soon. I have moved to a new club. I have to come and familiarize myself with the environment here. I also need to do some training to keep in shape. I can't wait for the new season. !"

Wan Sheng was a little surprised by Boateng's excitement, but it's clear that he was still in the Hertha Berlin youth team before.

Boateng has just moved to Manchester City. next season. In fact, it was also the first time he played in the professional league. It was like reading a book for more than ten years. After graduating and finding a good job, it was naturally impossible not to look forward to it. In a few years, the feeling of job-hopping would be completely different. .

So Wan Sheng patted his shoulder and said kindly, "I believe. You are a genius, and you will succeed here!"

Boateng immediately nodded excitedly.

At the same time, Wan Sheng also smiled. Boateng's attitude gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Since he became a football coach, the people around him, the media, reporters, even the fans and his own players have questioned him most of the time, and rarely believed him. A certain success, and then the influence will come out, just like Boateng in front of him, his words will make the other party full of confidence.

This is not success, what else is success?

While reaping a sense of accomplishment, Wansheng did not forget to explain to the staff that Boateng's life was carefully arranged. Boateng didn't even have a place to live. This needs to be solved by the club. He still attaches great importance to Boateng. , if the staff neglects to take care of Boateng because he is a young player, so that Boateng is dissatisfied with the club, it will not be worth the gain. Professional players should not involve too much energy on life issues. It is extremely important to use energy in training and in competitions.

With Boateng's arrival, the time for pre-season gatherings is approaching. New players come to the club one after another to report. The club arranged a signing ceremony for them, announcing that they became a member of Manchester City.

After that, Wansheng began to consider Schweinsteiger.

Manchester City has made an offer to Bayern Munich for Schweinsteiger, but has repeatedly raised the offer, and Bayern Munich has not responded, apparently not wanting to talk to Manchester City about the transfer of Schweinsteiger.

Perhaps more importantly, Schweinsteiger performed quite well in the World Cup. Even if he wants to buy him, it must be a sky-high price. Even if he cannot get a stable main position in Bayern Munich, his excellence is recognized by everyone.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to get Schweinsteiger.

Wansheng thought about it, but decided to give up Schweinsteiger, because Schweinsteiger is already a famous player. His so-called 'good at cultivating young people' cannot attract famous players at all. Bayern Munich is also more than Manchester City. is attractive.

Another consideration is that there is no shortage of midfielders in the squad for the new season.

David Silva has grown up and can be used as the main force. Morris' position is stable and Joey Barton is also quite good. In addition to the new arrivals Ozil and Ivan Crewe Wait, Wansheng can't even guarantee Schweinsteiger's main position, so even if he comes, it will bring more trouble.

There is no need for clubs to spend huge transfer fees asking for trouble.

So then Manchester City Club announced that the club's transfer work was all over.

The Manchester City club's transfer ended very suddenly. You must know that this is just entering the end of July, and the summer transfer window will be open to the beginning of September. What are they doing so quickly to end the transfer work?

Many people do not understand.

So some media began to summarize Manchester City's summer transfer work. There are four important players left by the team - Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler, Musampa and captain Distin.

The departure of two strikers, a full-back, a captain and a central defender, and the departure of four heavyweight players still has a great impact on Manchester City as a whole.

Look at the people who come.

Downing, who is Middlesbrough's main full-back and a member of the England national team, will definitely have no problem replacing Musampa.

Bergkamp, ​​famous, but a little too old, he's worse than Andy Cole, let alone a Robbie Fowler.

The most important thing is the departure of captain Distin. Can the new German boy Boateng take his place?

almost impossible...

Not to mention talent, defenders are more about experience. Distin is experienced and is one of the most stable central defenders in the Premier League, while Boateng is a rookie who has not yet entered the regular professional league, no matter how talented he is, The new season can only be a substitute.

So the media can only interpret Distin's departure as making way for the younger Koppelle Ferreira.

Dunn was injured most of the time last season, so Koppelle Ferreira was able to start the game. Later, he became the main player because of his performance. When Dunn recovered from injury, his position was actually a bit embarrassing.

But with Koppelle Ferreira's performance, it is impossible to serve as a substitute for the team, so Dunn and Distin can only have one to leave.

So Distin left.

By the way, there is another Ozil... What is the young player of the Schalke 04 youth team here for? Maybe he is a teenage genius again, and is favored by Wan Sheng, who is good at cultivating young people?

Many people have a wait-and-see attitude.

By now, most people have not easily questioned Wansheng, because Wansheng surprised them too much. Young geniuses showed their talents under him, and so many young Germans were nothing.

This summer, there were only two young Germans who came to Manchester City, and with the arrival of Downing and Bergkamp, ​​Manchester City's transfer was quite satisfactory.

In this way, although the strength of Manchester City has not improved, it has not declined.

Just as the media was talking, with the return of players one by one, Manchester City also began to prepare for the new season.

......

On the training ground, all the players stand together.

Wan Sheng looked at everyone seriously and said, "Many of you have passed the previous season, and some of you have joined the team, but no matter who it is, from now on, your nerves will be tense!"

"Forget about the relaxation of the previous month, forget about the World Cup match that just passed, and put all your energy back! Now at the club, we are about to enter a new season!"

"Now, I announce the official start of the preparations for the new season! You all know my rules, and here, I have the final say. All of you, you must complete the prescribed amount of training. Must! Understand!?"

"clear."

There were sparse shouts in the training ground, and it was obvious that many people had not recovered from their summer vacation.

Wan Sheng shouted in dissatisfaction, "Again! Do you understand!"

"clear!"

The voice immediately became much louder and seemed very energetic, and even Bergkamp, ​​who had just entered the team, roared along.

Several new players feel the atmosphere of the team and have more expectations for the new season. (To be continued ~^~)
