No one knew that before Gao Shen flew from Manchester to Madrid, he made a phone call to the German national team.

The call was to Jerome Boateng, a young international from the Bundesliga team Hamburg.

The 21-year-old German international has dual citizenship of Ghana and Germany. He was born in Berlin, received youth training at Hertha Berlin, and made his debut in the Bundesliga in 2007.

In August of the same year, Boateng transferred to North King Hamburg.

He is tall and strong, but he has good skills at his feet and is relatively flexible. At first glance, he is a good seed for a defender, so he has always been the main force of the German national youth team of all ages.

Ribery played as a full-back in the club and once froze Bayern Munich. Ribery became famous in the first battle. In June 2009, he represented the German U21 National Youth Team in the European Youth Championship held in Sweden. Germany defeated England 4-0 to win the championship.

In October, he was selected by Loew into the German national team, but he was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards in his first show.

Today's Hamburg is no longer the northern king of the Bundesliga. Not only was it thrown away by Bayern Munich, but even Dortmund and other Bundesliga teams basically ignored Hamburg.

As a popular fried chicken in the national team, Jerome Boateng naturally wants to find another place to improve his career.

It was in this situation that Manchester City came to them.

...

As early as March, Gao Shen stated at the club's high-level meeting that the team will hit the Champions League in the new season.

Mubarak also promised that the team still has no budget for summer transfers.

After the meeting,

Gao Shen drew up a signing plan and handed it over to Gary Cook, Marwood, Brian Kidd and others for execution, and Jerome Boateng was in the list of signings.

After the meeting, Manchester City's management immediately contacted Boateng's agent Powell.

In fact, this is not difficult at all, because Boateng's brother, Kevin Boateng, plays for Portsmouth in the Premier League.

Powell met with Marwood, the representative of Manchester City. The latter hoped that Powell would convey Manchester City's sincerity and interest to the players, as well as the head coach Gao Shen's favor for Boateng.

The relationship between Manchester City and Hamburg has always been very good. From Kompany's transfer to De Jong later, Manchester City has successively introduced two players from Hamburg.

At least, Hamburg does not have such strength now.

As the most promising rookie in European football, Boateng certainly has no shortage of interested buyers, but Gao Shen's invitation will undoubtedly be more special to him.

In order to further strengthen the player's confidence in choosing Manchester City, Gao Shen personally made a phone call.

At that time, Boateng was training with the national team before the World Cup.

Gao Shen personally promised that Boateng will play as a central defender, "I think that is the position where you can best use your strengths and abilities."

But for Boateng, Gao Shen believes that he still has many problems to improve.

On the contrary, Gao Shen didn't care at all about the frizz that the outside world criticized him the most.

"Irritability when fighting, too much movement, these are actually not a problem, but a growth process that a young defender must go through, but your speed and sense of position, as well as that long pass, are very important. Scarcity is also what I appreciate most.”

On the phone, Gao Shen told Boateng that the coaching staff has a lot of experience and can help him improve these problems, which will allow him to grow further and eventually become a world-class central defender.

It can be said that it was Gao Shen's phone call that made Boateng's choice firm.

At the beginning of June, when Gao Shen was still on vacation in China, Manchester City officially announced that they would introduce Jerome Boateng from the Bundesliga Hamburg for 10 million euros.

This is also Manchester City's first signing this summer.

...

People are sitting at home, but the progress of signings has not dropped at all.

After the club officially announced the signing of Boateng, Gao Shen immediately tweeted Boateng to welcome him, and then immediately sent another tweet, saying that he was very optimistic about Boateng becoming a world-class central defender.

This made Boateng in South Africa very happy, and immediately said on Twitter that he was very happy to join the advanced team.

"I can't wait to meet you and experience your famous pre-season training."

Gao Shen could only smile wryly.

He didn't expect that his pre-season training camp would be so mysterious.

"I'm carefully preparing a gift for you, it will definitely help you!"

Boateng replied, saying that he would wait and see.

After finishing a long-distance communication between the head coach and the new players, Gao Shen secretly made plans in his heart.

After the introduction of Boateng, the central defender is basically full.

David Luiz, Kompany, Gary Cahill and Boateng, these four central defenders all need to have a body, pass the ball and pass the ball, and they are all very capable.

Among them, David Luiz and Kompany are the combination that has been trained for a year, and they are now the main players doing their part.

Cahill is the most powerful central defender who meets the advanced requirements among the registered players.

Boateng is the youngest, but he has great potential, but now he needs to be further refined and cultivated.

He has trained Ramos, David Luiz, Bonucci, Kompany and others, and he is confident in training Boateng.

With these four central defenders, I believe there should be no problem with the central defender position in the new season.

If that wasn't enough, Javi Martinez can also be pulled down to play center back.

Even Gao Shen has already planned that in the preseason of the new season, Harvey Martinez will play as a central defender.

...

After signing Jerome Boateng, the pace of Manchester City's transfer signings has not stopped.

Three days later, Manchester City officially announced again that it would introduce 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk, who is still in the Ukrainian league, for 15 million euros.

This deal has surprised the media and fans all over the world, because Fernandinho's name is not big, and many people don't even know him at all.

But in the European football circle, this Brazilian player is no stranger.

The Shakhtar Donetsk team has performed better and better in recent seasons, especially in the 2008-2009 season, first they performed bravely in the group stage, especially the one that defeated Barcelona .

Although they were forced to play in the Europa League as the third place in the group, this is still a Ukrainian team. After a series of victories in the Europa League, they finally defeated Werder Bremen to win the championship. fame.

The team's main midfielder, Fernandinho, scored four goals in nine games in the Europa League, which can be described as one of the core contributors to Shakhtar Donetsk's championship.

It was because of his outstanding performance in Shakhtar Donetsk that Fernandinho was highly favored. The Brazilian midfielder was transferred to the Premier League Manchester City at a high price of 15 million euros.

With the official announcement of Manchester City, the media all over the world were also surprised, especially the stranger to Fernandinho.

Many people want to know, why did Gao Shen take a fancy to a Brazilian midfielder who plays in the Ukrainian league?

In the end, if you don't dig it, you don't know it. Once you dig it, this kid is actually a world champion!

It happened in 2003, at the U20 World Youth Championship in Abu Dhabi. Fernandinho was in the Brazilian national youth team at that time, but with striker Nierma and left back Adria Unlike Nuo, right back Daniel Alves and other players, Fernandinho did not have a strong sense of presence in the Brazilian National Youth Team at the time.

Because he is just a substitute on the bench, always coming off the bench in some garbage time.

But who would have thought that it was such a little-known little role. In the final, when Brazil faced the Spanish national youth team led by Iniesta and others, Fernandinho actually played the most crucial role A final character.

Four minutes into the game, Spanish defender Meli was sent off for a tactical foul.

The Brazilian team had an advantage of one more man than their opponents throughout the game, but they were still unable to break through the Spanish goal.

In the 70th minute, Fernandinho came off the bench, as if he was the chosen child of destiny.

In the 87th minute, the Brazilian team won a corner kick. Daniel Alves took the penalty. Fernandinho scored a header from the edge of the small area to give the Brazilian national youth team the lead.

But only three minutes later, there was a fierce conflict between the players on both sides, and Fernandinho was sent off with a red card.

After the game, no one cared about the World Youth Championship at all, and no one cared about the midfielder who won the championship for Brazil, who was not paid much attention at all.

Fernandinho also continued to play for Atletico Parana in Brazil until 2005 before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk.

But now, when the media began to dig deeper into this Brazilian midfielder who had just been handpicked by Gao Shen, they couldn't help but feel very surprised, because they found that Fernandinho was actually a great contributor to the World Youth Championship. And it's in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

You know, now Manchester City's behind-the-scenes funder is Abu Dhabi.

Could it be that, in the dark, it was really predestined?

But soon, the all-pervasive British media dug again and found that Fernandinho was not like a traditional Brazilian midfielder. Although he passed the ball very well, he had a strong defensive ability and averaged 2.5 points per game. steals, 3.3 interceptions and 2.5 clearances, it can be said that he is a midfielder with both offense and defense.

So Gao Shen chose Fernandinho, how did he want to use him?

More importantly, the media suddenly discovered a very interesting place, that is, the 25-year-old Fernandinho only had the experience of the Brazil National Youth Team. The national youth team has played, let alone the Brazilian national team.

In other words, his resume in the Brazilian national team is blank.

So, as a foreign player, how does Fernandinho apply for a Premier League labor certificate?

You know, the core clause of the Premier League labor certificate is that the national team has played more than 75% of the games in the past two years.

Although starting from 2003, in order to avoid the loss of young players, the British Ministry of Labor has specially created the so-called "special talent clause" for the Premier League, but that is more for young players.

Fernandinho is twenty-five years old, not young anymore.

For a while, the media and fans were all frying the pot, wondering whether this was the botched operation of Gao Shen and Manchester City, which caused them to ignore the issues of labor certification and special talent clauses?
