Chapter 205, I Want to Sign Him
Hearing what Jin Taige said, Woodward finally calmed down, and he sat down firmly on the sofa: "Let me just say, how could you come to ask me for money now."
Woodward thought for a while: "I know who you are talking about, Lewandowski, right? Tiger, have you forgotten, when I went to Germany last summer, I was still with you to see Lewandowski Yes, I made my statement at the time, absolutely supporting you to sign Lewandowski, and you told me a while ago that you and Lewandowski were also on the phone, and he was still thinking about the future. Why did you bring this up again today? ?”
Jin Taige shook his head: "I'm not talking about him."
"Not him? Who else?"
Kintag handed the newspaper in his hand to Woodward: "Ed, read what this newspaper says."
Woodward took the newspaper and looked at it in confusion. He had just read it for less than a minute, and said very excitedly: "Tiger, if you can sign him, it would be great! With his His fame and status in English football is definitely a first-class star. Although he is a little older, his appeal is still undiminished. If we can sign him, it will definitely be of great benefit to the club’s business operations .”
"Ed, you really look at the money." Jin Taige looked at Woodward dumbfounded, "I want to sign him, not for your commercial purpose, I think purely from the competitive level, he Although he is not as young as a young man in his 20s, his strength is still undiminished. If he can come to Manchester United, he will definitely enrich Manchester United's tactics and enhance their midfield strength. I am here today to chat with you and listen to you Views."
"I have no problem!" Woodward said firmly, "and there is no need to say hello to the boss, he will definitely agree. This kind of method of signing stars without spending money, you can do more in the future, I support you !"
Seeing Woodward's money-obsessed look, Jin Taige felt it was funny: "You think it's good, but he may not be willing to come. After all, he has stayed in his own club for so many years, so he might not agree to suddenly defect to a competitor. .”
"Tiger, what are you going to do about it?"
"When I go to the away game after a while, I will visit him in person and try to persuade him."
"Well, I believe in your eloquence, no problem, come on!"
Seeing Woodward's excited look, Kintag was silent.
Can I sign this excellent midfield star?
On February 1, Manchester United won Stoke City in an away game. After this game, the players had enough time to rest, because the next Premier League game was played on February 9, and it was still at Manchester United's home court.
Manchester United's opponent in the next game is Fulham. In the first half of the league, Fulham once defeated Manchester United 1-0. Smalling was sent off in that game. Manchester United, who played 10 against 11, regrettably returned empty-handed away. Therefore, the Manchester United soldiers are well prepared for this game and are determined to bloodbath Fulham at home.
Fulham is currently ranked second to last in the Premier League standings, only one point ahead of Cardiff City, and the relegation situation is worrying.
Kintag predicted that in this game, Fulham is likely to adopt the same tactics as Cardiff City in the previous game-intensive defense, because for them, being able to score a point at Old Trafford is already considered a victory. It worked.
Therefore, Kintag has already made sufficient preparations.
Kintag's starting lineup for this game: 4-4-2 formation, goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Vidic, Smalling, Evra and Valencia, midfielders Nainggolan, Carrick, Ashley Young and Nani with Rooney and Salah up front.
Manchester United's starting lineup for this game has made many adjustments.
Because after three days against Fulham, Manchester United will go to an away game against Arsenal. That game must be a difficult game, so Kintag has hidden some of the main players in this game, Kante, Martial, Rafael , Van Persie several main players,
This game is all rested; Ashley Young and Salah, who have performed very well recently, appear on the starting list, and Wayne Rooney, who won the last game, is also on the list; After hesitating again and again, he still sent Smalling, because he was sent off in the last game against Fulham, so Kintag believes that he must have a anger in his heart, waiting to be released on Fulham, as for whether he can Whether to turn grief and anger into strength depends on Smolin himself.
In this game, Fulham really played an iron barrel formation. Except for the handsome Berbatov in the front, all other players retreated to their own half for intensive defense.
Because Kintag had already anticipated Fulham's tactical arrangements, he was very calm and calmly dealt with it.
In the pre-match arrangement, the task he gave to Salah and Nani was to let them use their personal abilities to tear down Fulham's defense as much as possible. Even if they can't break through, they must fight for a good position. Free-kick chance on .
Kintag also asked the two full-backs Evra and Valencia to increase the range of penetration and strive for more opportunities to get crosses.
As for Nainggolan, who replaced Kanter, Kintag also made tactical arrangements for him. He asked Nainggolan to use his strong body to advance boldly, disrupt Fulham's defense and create opportunities for offensive players.
Kintag's team is fully prepared for this game.
At the beginning of the game, the scene was overwhelming as expected. Manchester United players bombed in front of Fulham's goal and tried their best to score goals; while Fulham strictly followed the coach's tactical arrangements and huddled near the penalty area. Tight defense.
In the 9th minute of the opening, Carrick took a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, hit the Fulham goal post, and bounced off the baseline. The fans in the stands exclaimed regretfully.
In the 16th minute of the game, Salah broke through Fulham's defense, pushed out the sliding goal with a kick, and missed the chance to score again.
Less than 20 minutes into the game, Manchester United had two very threatening chances to score. Although they failed to score, Kim Teg on the coaching bench was full of confidence that his team would definitely win the game today!
And beside Kintag, Phelan and Scholes are also very relaxed.
Phelan poked Scholes: "Paul, who do you think will score the first goal today?"
Scholes thought for a while: "It should be Rooney or Salah. We attacked so fiercely in the opening stage, and it is very likely that the two of them will solve the problem in the end."
Phelan shook his head: "I guess it might be Vidic or Smalling. Fulham is defending intensively. We are practicing extra free kicks during this time. Maybe it will be their two tall central defenders who will score."
