Seven Hundred and Twenty-Seven Sochaux, Are Your Bones Still There?

Gao Shen walked away smartly, leaving behind two empty bottles of mineral water.

Ferguson scolded bitterly for being unhygienic and asking the old man to help him pick up empty bottles, is it reasonable?

But after thinking about it, he was still worried, took out his phone and made a call.

"Ole, it's me."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, previously manager of Manchester United's reserve team, took charge of Norway's Molde in January.

"Boss, I just watched the game, and I feel a little regretful, but I think..."

Solskjaer thought that Ferguson called him at this time because he wanted to discuss the game with him.

But obviously, no.

"I'll talk about the game later. I want to ask you, what do you think of the player Lingard?"

"Lingard?" Of course Solskjaer will not forget, "This kid is very thin, he has good technique on his feet, but his speed is not very fast. I have tried several different positions for him, but he is not very comfortable to use. "

The evaluation is not very high, Ferguson thought.

"Boss, why are you asking him all of a sudden?" Solskjaer asked.

Ferguson laughed, "Someone told me just now that he is the most talented player in our youth academy and will become the strongest king in European football in the future."

"Ha, how is this possible? Is this person blind? Morrison or Pogba, which one is better than Lingard? Anyone with eyes will know it, especially Pogba, the physical condition of the black man is true. It's good, and the skills at the feet are also fine, which point is not better than Lingard?" Solskjaer laughed directly.

Whether it is a genius or not, an insider can tell at a glance.

"Gao Shen said it."

"Who?" Solskjaer was taken aback.

"Manchester City's damn deep." Ferguson repeated.

Obviously, Solskjaer gasped on the phone.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this kid is thin. He is not good at physical resistance, but he can practice. His speed is not fast, but he has good footwork skills and is very flexible in running positions. An aura, this characteristic is really extremely rare in our youth training camp."

"I think this is a player who plays with his brain. Now think about it, is there something wrong with my use of him?"

Ferguson almost didn't curse out loud, can you still stick to your position a little bit?

Gao Shen said casually, as for scaring you like this?

Are your bones still there?

However, this is also in line with Gao Shen's current influence in European football.

The Chinese people are so famous now, if he just said a word, the value of many players can be skyrocketed immediately.

If any one of his players is a genius, it must be.

Even if it turns out not to be the case, it's not that the vision is not good, but that the way of training players is wrong.

Otherwise, how to explain that he has developed so many players?

There is no need to say anything else, just the most recent one, Van Persie.

What was it like at Arsenal?

to Manchester,

What performance?

The level of a proper top center.

Now Arsenal fans are blaming Wenger all day long, saying that you had been buying a center forward, but you sold the best center forward in the Premier League to Manchester City at a low price.

This is sophistication.

Therefore, when Solskjaer heard that Gao Shen said it, his first reaction was not to question, but to round up what he had just said.

Because he knows very well that once it gets out, the whole world will say that Solskjaer knows no one.

Ferguson suddenly had a headache, why did he make such a phone call for no reason?

"Hey, by the way, boss, what does he think of Pogba?" Solskjaer asked.

This is his most promising player in the Manchester United youth team.

"I never said that."

"what?"

"I didn't mention it from the beginning to the end, I feel like I don't like it."

Fuck!

Solskjaer seriously doubts whether his vision will work?

"That's right, players of African descent have physical advantages at a young age, but when they reach adult teams, their physical advantages are not obvious, and their performance is greatly reduced. And I think Pogba's characteristics, It's not very clear, and his personality is a bit weird, I heard that he is planning to change his agent recently."

"Well, I have already changed one before, but I was not satisfied, and I changed it again recently. He wants to renew his contract with the club and negotiate terms."

Manchester United is rich and powerful, and the average agent would not dare to be presumptuous in front of Ferguson.

Most of the time when contracts are discussed, it's when someone arrives, and Ferguson will do what he says.

But what Pogba wants now is to win more playing opportunities and ask for this to be written into the contract, so he achieves this goal by changing agents.

Change it, anyway, Ferguson is familiar with the brokers in the land of England.

But it’s also interesting to say that Gao Shen never mentioned Pogba. Last time he only mentioned Morrison. Gard.

Who in the world doesn't know how vicious a deep vision is?

But any player who is targeted by him can't be wrong.

This cunning boy still couldn't escape from his own palm after all.

Lingard, I remember!

...

In another match of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Barcelona defeated Naples 1-0 at home, and successfully advanced to the final with a total score of 3-0, joining forces with Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.

But before that, Manchester City will go to Wembley Stadium to play an FA Cup final against Manchester United.

However, after killing Manchester United four times this season, if there is no accident in this FA Cup final, Manchester City basically has a better chance of winning.

But Ferguson also said that no matter what, Manchester City must be prevented from winning the Triple Crown.

That was the pride of his coaching career, and no matter what, he couldn't let Gao Shen and his rivals in the same city catch up.

After playing the Champions League semi-finals, in the weekend league, Manchester City drew with Everton 2-2 away.

The central defender combination of Jerome Boateng and Cahill is still a bit unreliable.

In addition, in this game, Gao Shen specially replaced the goalkeeper with Ji Wen, allowing Neuer, who has an amazing attendance rate this season, to rest, adjust his state, and prepare for the two finals at Wembley Stadium.

By the way, Gao Shen contacted Arsenal's Arsene Wenger immediately after the semi-finals, and proposed to borrow Arsenal's Kearney training base after the league and before the Champions League final.

Wenger readily agreed.

In this way, Manchester City will go south to London in advance to prepare before the Champions League final.

As for Guardiola's Barcelona, ​​Gao Shen doesn't know how to arrange it.

...

After playing the thirty-sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in a week of respite.

Gao Shen gave the players a day off, but he himself was not idle.

Together with Su Qing, Lucas and Borel, he drove from Manchester to Leeds, more than 60 kilometers away.

The purpose of Gao Shen's trip is to further investigate the specific situation of Leeds United.

Their first stop was the Thorpe Arch Training Center near Wetherby.

This season's British Championship has finished playing the regular league. Leeds United ranked seventh in the league and failed to enter the promotion play-offs.

From the perspective of the process, this is basically the true level of Leeds United. Even if they enter the play-offs, it will be difficult to shake the strength of the three strong teams of Swansea, Reading and Cardiff City, that is, to accompany them. It is basically unrealistic to get the upgrade qualification.

As for ranking seventh, this result is nothing.

In the Championship, apart from promotion and relegation, nothing else matters.

At best, it is to find a few more outstanding young players on loan from the Premier League teams.

The real problem is to win the championship and relegation, and that is the critical moment to reflect the real kung fu.

Many English Championship teams almost rushed into the promotion zone this season, and fell directly into the relegation zone next season, with great fluctuations in strength.

A very important point is that there are too many players on loan.

Do you know how many people Leeds United's first team has rented out this season?

Seventeen!

Among them are midfielder Livermore, who will gain a foothold in the Tottenham first team in the future, and Sanchez Watt from Arsenal.

There was even one from Manchester City, but Gao Shen didn't know him at all.

Colombia goalkeeper David Gonzalez.

What's more interesting is that the current main goalkeeper of Leeds United is Casper Schmeichel who was sold by Gao Shen.

Now, after failing to reach the Super League, the players on loan basically have to return to the team, and Leeds United has been beaten back to its original form again.

Of course, it is impossible for Leeds United to be completely without its own players.

To say that this team's best youth training player in recent years is the local midfielder Jonathan Howson.

He is only 22 years old, but he had an astonishing double-double performance in the British Championship last season. Both goals and assists reached double digits, and he has also entered the England Olympic team.

The other two are Scots.

One is the 25-year-old striker Ross McCormack, who previously played for Cardiff City, won the Silver Boot of the British Championship in the 2008-2009 season, scored 23 goals throughout the season, and his performance is also excellent. Remarkable, but because Cardiff failed to hit the Premier League consecutively, he had conflicts with the team. Last summer, he was picked up by Leeds United at a very low price of 350,000 pounds.

After coming to Leeds United, injuries affected his performance, but at the end of the season, he showed a very good form, and even helped the team beat the champion Queens Park Rangers 2-1 and was able to return to Scotland national team.

Twenty-four-year-old winger Robert Snodgrass came to Leeds United in 2008. The transfer fee at that time was 270,000 pounds, but now his worth has reached 1.5 million pounds. He scored six goals and eight assists this season, and his performance is also remarkable.

There is no doubt that these three players, plus a goalkeeper Schmeichel Jr., are currently the most valuable players in Leeds United.

Judging from the current information Gao Shen has, these players basically want to leave the team.

This is also normal.

At their age, they all want to push forward in their careers, and they are in a good situation. If they don't take this opportunity to make a breakthrough, there will be no hope in the future.

Just like McCormack and Snodgrass, as well as the local Olympic player Howson, they all definitely want to go to the Premier League.

For Leeds United, if they fail to surpass this season, they can come back next season, but for the players, they will not be willing to make such a gamble because they don't have many next seasons.

Gao Shen actually understands the player's thinking very well and will respect it.

However, the purpose of his trip was not for these people.
