"I really didn't expect to see you again so soon" Moratti said to Dick with some sigh.
"I've said it before! Inter Milan now has two players that I want. Don't worry, boss. They are not Inter Milan's main players, nor are they players that Inter Milan can't let go of." Dick smiled at Mo. Latty said.
Moratti nodded. Dick's three years of management at Inter Milan have brought him so much. Among the more than 20 first-team players now, there are almost no useless players. Materazzi and Cannavaro are starting to get old, but Cordoba is still young, plus the trained Chiellini, Zanetti and Maicon on the wings, with a little adjustment it will be a top-notch team The defense and midfielders are not very old. In addition to Figo, Sneijder, Mascherano, Perrotta and Stankovic are all in their prime. There is also a young Ibrahimovic on the front line. Even Tony Even after selling it, Cruise can still be used.
So the problem facing Inter Milan now is actually how to retain those outstanding substitutes. For example, Yaya Toure now wants a salary increase. After all, his performance in the first two years was not bad. Such a salary and substitute position are obviously not acceptable. To meet his needs, however, Inter Milan is now unable to give him a stable main position, as well as Di Natale and Pandev. Pandev did not get many opportunities last season. To seek the main position this season, Di Natale also I don¡¯t want to be a super substitute anymore¡
And what Dick is eyeing is not the main players of Inter Milan, but the substitutes who have been used well by him before. The two most important candidates are Di Natale and Yaya Toure.
Although Manchester City has introduced some midfielders this season, they still lack one who can hold the line. In the world that Dick knows, Yaya Toure is Manchester City's main midfielder, a captain-level figure and performs well. His characteristics It is also very suitable for the Premier League. Reliable top midfielders are not so easy to find now. Yaya Toure is the most suitable core midfielder that Dick can find now.
Another candidate is Di Natale. Although this late-blooming shooter is about to turn thirty, Dick knows that his glory will only come after he turns thirty. Last season, Dick deliberately gave It gave him more playing opportunities, and he was like a fish in water on the front line. He scored more than a dozen goals in various competitions in a short amount of playing time. If he could get more stable playing opportunities, his number of goals would increase. It can be improved immediately.
These two are both players who will be wasted if they continue to stay at Inter Milan. Inter Milan does not lack top strikers. Even if Toni leaves, Di Natale may not have a main position. The same is true for the midfielder run by Dick. Some people have a surplus of talent, and keeping them around will just kill their time.
"Di Natale? Yaya Toure?"
Looking at the two names Dick reported, Moratti frowned - Dick was indeed not as open as the Lion. These two players are both players that Inter Milan can give up now. Both of them are the main players of Inter Milan. Substitute, and Di Natale is relatively old. Although Yaya Toure is young and has a bright future, he currently does not have his main position in the midfield of Inter Milan, whether it is with Sneijder or Perrotta Stanco. He wouldn't have much advantage over Vicky's competition, and both of them wanted to get the main position. There was no need to force him to stay, so it was better to go along with the flow and do Dick a favor.
The price quoted by Dick completely reassured Moratti.
"How about 20 million pounds for two people? You know Ribery is worth this price."
Twenty million pounds is equivalent to thirty million euros. Yaya Toure's transfer to Inter Milan was only one million euros at the time. Di Natale was almost the same figure. Three years later, it has risen to this level. Inter Milan is very Don't do such worthwhile deals.
In terms of price, it is indeed a lot for these two people to sell so much. Inter Milan has received more funds, and although Dick seems to have paid a lot, he has introduced two first-class players who can play the main role. , this is also very important for Manchester City, and what about Di Natale and Yaya Toure? Dick promised that they would be the main force, and as Dick's old team, the new team that followed Dick would definitely train them as direct descendants. In addition, Manchester City was rich and offered high salaries, so they might refuse to do this. The temptation?
Although Di Natale doesn't really want to play abroad, there are really no good places to go in Italy right now. The top teams don't need him, and he doesn't necessarily want to go to the mid-tier teams. It would be nice to continue playing under Dick. A very good choice.
Yaya Toure doesn't have any homesickness. For him, it's the same wherever he plays. As long as he has a main position and a satisfactory salary playing under Dick, at least he has a greater chance of winning the championship. A lot, right?
Under such circumstances, the contract was signed very smoothly. Di Natale signed a three-year contract with Manchester City. This is because he is not too young anymore, and it is not a form of discrimination. Yaya Toure He signed a five-year long-term contract with Manchester City, with a salary of up to 4 million euros, more than double what he earned at Inter Milan. Yaya Toure is also very satisfied with this contract.
"That's ten people"
Dick breathed a sigh of relief. Barnes, Young, Parker, Vidal, Ribery, Torres, Samuel, Hart, Yaya Toure, Di Natale, ten players spent him 110 million pounds, but in Dick's opinion, every penny he paid was worth it. With Manchester City's current attractiveness, if you want to buy good players, you naturally have to spend money, and later generations spent a lot of money on it. Compared with second-rate players, Dick feels that Mansour should really reward himself with 100 million pounds. Among the signings, there are also free players like Hart and investments in the future like Vidal. Overall, the cost is more than 100 million pounds. It is already a very worthwhile thing for the British pound to build a relegation team into a team capable of winning the championship.
Now in Dick's mind, the main lineup has gradually taken shape. The main goalkeeper depends on which goalkeeper is in better condition. As for the right back, Richards should be the main player, with Sun Jihai as the substitute, left back Barnes, and Hart as the substitute. As for Bell, Dick doesn't plan to use him too early. Center back Samuel will definitely be the main force. Now he has to find a stronger partner for him. Dunn is a good substitute. In addition, he has to find a substitute. Look. Whether you are looking for someone younger or older, you can take your time. As for the midfielder, although Hamann is old, he is still good as a substitute. Button, a fierce local player, can become the first choice in the defensive midfielder. , although he has a lot of injuries, there is not a big problem. Parker and Yaya Toure can become the other two main players in the midfield, with Vidal as a substitute. Such a midfielder is slightly weak, but it is almost enough. After all, Manchester City now has many good players on the wing, such as Ribery and Young. If the formation changes when the time comes, it will not appear that the personnel are stretched thin.
In the frontcourt, Dick plans to use a three-forward tactic. Ribery moves around as a winger, and Torres and Di Natale serve as double forwards. Torres and Di Natale have a wide range of activities, and these two have great foot skills. Both Torres's impact is stronger and Di Natale's movement is more intelligent. Whether Torres involves Di Natale to grab points or Di Natale attracts the opponent's attention and allows Torres to break through and score. It is a good choice. Ashley Young is Ribery's substitute. As for the remaining forward Vassell, he will become the substitute for Torres and Di Natale. It is almost enough for five people to compete for three positions, and Manchester City's youth team has contributed a young forward Sturridge to the team this season, and he can also be used as a good substitute.
So after thinking about it, Dick found that he seemed to only need to supplement the central defender. Now there are 21 players who will stay in the first team-the nine players Dick reported to Mubarak. , Bale, who was confirmed to join before the end of the season, ten players previously signed by Dick, plus Sturridge from the youth team, 21 people, only need to add two or three players, and the first team is almost ready. .
Thinking of this, Dick felt a little proud. Although these players are only on paper now, his movements have always been fast. After a month of training and training, plus there will be no European competitions next season, the league can be slow. After slowly making adjustments, Dick believes that Manchester City in a year's time will definitely be countless times stronger than it is now. By then, with targeted strengthening, Manchester City will have the strength to compete for the Champions League championship!
Now, the only thing that needs to be added is the central defender. Five players in the midfield are almost enough. If there is a good choice, just one. If there is no good choice, there is no big problem even if it is empty.
Central defender, the main central defender, a strong one with strong air defense ability plays as a central defender - in the Premier League, such a central defender is a must, otherwise it will be easy to be beaten by the opponent with high-altitude balls, but such a high-altitude ball It is not particularly easy to find a central defender now, because almost all clubs will not let go of those top central defenders, and some of the good central defenders Dick knows are too young now
So after much thought, Dick set his sights on another future Manchester City captain-level defender - of course not the local Lescott, but Belgian central defender Kompany.
This 1.91 meter tall central defender is currently playing for Hamburg. He did not get the main position last season. He only played six games in Hamburg. It is not too difficult to find him. Of course, one Kompany is not enough. Yes, he is still young and prone to chaos. Dick is also interested in two other young central defenders - anyway, Manchester City is currently short of people at the central defender position.
Twenty-one-year-old Croatian central defender Joel Luka, alsoLike 21-year-old local central defender Gary Cahill.
These three central defenders are all 21 years old and have outstanding potential. After having an experienced central defender like Samuel, it will be a good choice to be paired with a more energetic and strong young central defender.
And Joel Luka can also play at right back. If Richards and Sun Jihai's performance is not good, he can also play as a guest on the right, so that Manchester City's defense is truly established.
The price of central defenders is not low these days, but money is really not a problem for Manchester City now.
Signed Gary Cahill from Aston Villa for ¡ê5m, ¡ê9m and signed Croatian centre-back Vedran Cholluka from Dinamo Zagreb for ¡ê12m , signed Belgian central defender Vincent Kompany from Hamburg, and the joining of three young central defenders made Manchester City's defense instantly enriched!
