In the document in front of Li Mu, among the dense English letters, there were only three Chinese characters, which was the name "Sun Jihai".
Li Mu is also a veteran fan. In his previous life, the Chinese men's football team reached the World Cup. Li Mu was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several days. He dreamed about the Chinese team overcoming all obstacles in the World Cup. His only regret was that the Chinese team failed to win anything in the World Cup. Lost all three games.
But even so, until Li Mu was reborn, he firmly believed that among the previous Chinese national teams, the one with the strongest strength and the best mental outlook was the one that competed in the World Cup in 2002. Hao Haidong, Yang Chen, Fan Zhiyi , Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, these well-known players are basically the pinnacle representatives of Chinese football in that era. I dare not say anything else. At least their achievements will be surpassed by no one in Chinese football in the next ten years.
As for Sun Jihai, Li Mu also quickly recalled some memories about him. Sun Jihai's position on the field was mainly defender and midfielder. At the end of the 20th century, he played in the British League One with Fan Zhiyi. Later, he played in the Premier League for many years. But Li Mu didn't expect that the team Sun Jihai played for in the Premier League was the Manchester City Club that was already under his name.
This is so interesting. I have always wanted to acquire a Premier League club to provide a better stage for outstanding Chinese players in the future. I didn't expect that there is a Chinese player in the team now.
After roughly looking through Sun Jihai's information, Li Mu smiled and said to Davidson: "It seems that buying Manchester City Club is really the right thing to do."
Davidson said: "The Macmillan family has always been the majority shareholder of Manchester United and is also the actual controller of Manchester United. Your Manchester City is in the same city as them. I think they will definitely target your club everywhere in the future."
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Manchester City's strength may be much worse than Manchester United this year, but I believe that next season, Manchester City will kick Manchester United to the ground."
After that, Li Mu said to Davidson: "Please help me make arrangements. I want to go to Manchester in the next two days."
"Go to Manchester?" Davidson waved his hand hurriedly and said, "It's not a good time to go to Manchester, right? Since you last defeated the George MacMillan family, the MacMillan family has been biting your teeth."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Will they assassinate me if I go to Manchester?"
Davidson said seriously: "Be careful in everything. Here, the Macmillan family doesn't dare to do anything to you, but if you go to Manchester, it's really hard to say, even if the Macmillan family doesn't dare to do anything to you, Whatever he does to you, that son of a bitch George will probably find an opportunity to do something bad to you."
Seeing that Li Mu didn't seem to take his words seriously, Davidson added, "George looks like a dog, but he is actually a very insidious and ruthless villain. Although there are not many aristocratic children in the UK, Good stuff, but George is really the worst of them all."
Li Mu nodded and said: "I will pay more attention. Since I am now the owner of Manchester City, I always have to go to my club to take a look."
Davidson had no choice but to say: "In that case, I'll accompany you there then. We can drive there directly from here. It's not a long journey."
Li Mu said, "No problem. I'm in England with my assistant and a few bodyguards. I'm not familiar with the place. It's a bit troublesome to deal with it. The best time is tomorrow or the next two days. You can arrange it specifically."
Davidson immediately agreed and said: "Then let's leave early the day after tomorrow. I'll have someone inform the general manager of Manchester City that their new boss will go over to meet with you the day after tomorrow."
Li Mu shook the contract in his hand and asked him: "No one outside should know that you gave me the Manchester City Club now, right?"
"Of course." Davidson said: "Besides you, only a few core members of the Goldberg family know about this. The outside world thinks that the Goldberg family bought Manchester City Club to enter the football and sports market. After all, the Goldberg family has always included golf in their business. With this branch, there is nothing surprising about acquiring a football club."
Li Muxiao asked: "How do the outside world evaluate the Goldberg family's acquisition of Manchester City Club?"
Davidson shrugged his shoulders and said: "Most of them are bad-mouthing. They feel that the Goldberg family has no vision when buying Manchester City. At this stage, it is indeed difficult for Manchester City in the Premier League to see the hope of rising, especially under Abramovich. After joining Chelsea with a lot of money, Chelsea's head coach is now spending 100 million pounds to buy people everywhere, and they also want to add some more fresh blood before the end of this month and the closing of the summer transfer window."
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Abra can invest money, and so can I; Chelsea can buy people everywhere, and so can Manchester City."
…
After talking with Davidson, Li Mu began to prepare for his trip to Manchester City.
Since he didn't know much about the current Premier League in his memory, he locked himself in his room and studied the Premier League news all day long.
He doesn't pay attention to Manchester City's current head coach and player lineup, nor does he pay attention to the changes in other teams in the new season. What he cares about is which talented players can be introduced at this stage.
Messi is definitely out of business. He has already joined the Barcelona club in 2000 and has already shown his temperament as a ball king. It is impossible for Barcelona to sell Messi at this time;
Ronaldinho also just joined Barcelona last month, and the contract was signed for five years. More importantly, Ronaldinho's condition will decline rapidly in a few years. Buy him at this time Nor is it wise;
Most of the superstar lineup of the 2002 World Cup has been won by Real Madrid. A large number of top players have gathered in Real Madrid, and Real Madrid is about to start his Galactico career;
Taken together, Li Mu does not want to invest 100 million pounds in top players who are already famous. The price of Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid in June is 35 million euros. If Li Mu is asked to choose, he will definitely not be willing to spend this money. As for Beckham, after all, Ronaldo is currently worth just over 10 million pounds, and this guy has just turned 18 this year.
Li Mu became anxious when he thought of Ronaldo, because news about him on Google showed that Manchester United is now actively communicating with the young player with the intention of signing Ronaldo this summer.
There will be many superstars emerging in football in the future, but there are only two football players who can maintain a high level of football for more than ten consecutive years, one is Messi and the other is Cristiano Ronaldo.
If you want to sign Messi now, the price is too high, not only because of the price, but also whether Messi is willing to leave Barcelona. Messi participated in youth training at Barcelona when he was 13 years old. Until Li Mu was reborn, this guy was still at Barcelona. If you really want to poach him, even if you give him the money, it may not be useful.
On the contrary, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the most cost-effective player. He did not become famous as early as Messi. He is still just a relatively outstanding rookie. The price of more than 10 million pounds is simply a bargain for his grandma's family.
Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, such top players need a second-in-command with sufficient strength and coordination awareness on the court. Looking back on Cristiano Ronaldo's period at Manchester United, the most impressive thing for fans was the Manchester United twin stars at that time. It's the striker combination of Ronaldo and Rooney.
Li Mu remembered that Rooney joined Manchester United after Ronaldo. It seemed that it would be next year, so he checked Rooney's current situation. This future English football genius is not yet 18 years old and is at Everton. Play for the club.
Everton's overall strength is currently about the same as Manchester City's. They are both teams that are a little below the middle of the Premier League. If Rooney is introduced at a premium now, the price should not be too high, more than a thousand. I guess it's about 10,000 pounds.
As long as he gets these two young men, not only will Manchester City's future be promising, but it will also invisibly hinder the development speed of Manchester United, because he has directly poached Manchester United's twin star combination. When the time comes, the Premier League city derby , it is estimated that Manchester City's twin star combination can beat Manchester United to tears.
Moreover, Li Mu always feels that relying on the Gemini star alone is not enough. It is best to have another striker with superior speed to directly form a strike trident with the Gemini star. Just like Bell, who can pass the ball to himself a few seconds later. His speed is so fast that he is almost unparalleled in football.
However, Bell is very young and is probably still in middle school. He will need at least four or five years to grow up.
Thinking of this, another person suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind. That person is the Dutch Peter Pan, Robben.
Robben is very famous in football for his fast speed and strong breakthrough ability. His only weakness is his poor physical fitness, so he has been suffering from injuries. Although Li Mu doesn't know much about football, he can probably figure it out. It turns out that for a player like Robben, if he is placed at the first scoring point, then he will be tightly guarded by the opponent, and his speed is too fast to be solved, so when the opponent player defends him, he must be guarded at the critical moment. The only option is to foul at all times, and Robben's physical fitness is slightly poorer, he is often fouled, and the chance of injury is much greater.
If Robben is brought in and combined with Ronaldo and Rooney, but position Robben at the second or third scoring point, let him take advantage of his speed, his inability to cut inside from the wing, and his excellent crosses. Ability to provide support for Ronaldo, then his time on the ball and the amount of attention he receives will be greatly reduced. This is also a disguised protection for him, because the degree of attention from opponents will be reduced. The chance of injury will also be reduced.
If you regard Ronaldo as the absolute core, you must treat Ronaldo like a baby. In addition to scoring, someone must serve Ronaldo. Someone must organize for him, someone must dispatch for him, and someone must pass the ball for him. , Some people hold the ball for him, and some people defend him. Therefore, it is not enough for Rooney and Ronaldo to cooperate with Ronaldo.
With such a "trident" in the frontcourt, it needs to be paired with a strong midfielder before the team's offensive ability is basically stable.
Li Mu took a look at the current roster of Manchester City's main players. Among the current midfielders, he is more familiar with Wright Jr. and Wright Phillips. This midfielder once had a short-lived appearance in the Premier League and was worth 21 million pounds. After joining Chelsea, he was reduced to a substitute and has been unable to develop since then.
Therefore, introducing another powerful midfielder to Manchester City has become the top priority for Li Mu to consider next.
When he thought of Cristiano Ronaldo's career and Cristiano Ronaldo during the Real Madrid era, he thought of a player who has worked with Cristiano Ronaldo for a long time and is known as the world's top midfielder - Modric.
Li Mu searched for Modric on Google, and found very few results. He only saw a news item on a very inconspicuous website: Dinamo Zagreb Football Club will transfer Luka Modri to Qi loaned to Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League…
Being loaned to Bosnia and Herzegovina to play, Modric's current worth should be very low. It is estimated that he can be acquired with a few million pounds.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, and Modric were all players born in 1985 and are just 18 years old this year. Robben is a player born in 1984 and is 19 years old this year. Their current worth is far lower than what they were in their peak years. They are no longer buried gold, but diamonds wrapped in a layer of mud. If they can capture the four of them and train them carefully, it won't take long before they will be able to burst out with strong fighting power.
If the team's coaching staff and defensive team are appropriately optimized, then Manchester City Club can become the top club in the Premier League and even Europe.
Real Madrid's strategy is to piece together a group of international superstars who are around 25 years old. Although this is very strong, the character and style of each player have already been determined. Not only can they not be well integrated, but it will cause a certain amount of internal friction. , however, if you put a group of 18-year-old rising stars together and let them grow together, the synergy that can be generated in the future is limitless!
