Football’s First Defender

Yang Feng really didn't expect that among Liverpool's main lineup, the first one to leave would be his best-connected younger brother, Sterling!

During this time, the private mobile phone used in the UK was the last thing Yang Feng wanted to hear ringing, because in summer, every ringing could be a farewell call from an acquaintance in the past season.

The subtlety and kindness of the Orientals allowed Yang Feng to get along well with every player in addition to being the vice-captain of the team.

Even in the past few seasons, with the joining of Yang Feng, the number of team building of Liverpool's entire team has gradually increased.

But professional football is so cruel sometimes, with iron camps and flowing soldiers.

The transfer of players is always inevitable in summer.

Listening to the younger brother's reluctance on the phone, Yang Feng could only persuade him to let Sterling West perform well in Manchester City this season.

There is no way, this is professional football, and it does not depend on the player's personal will.

And compared to the contract extension offered by Liverpool, it is obvious that Sterling can get more generous treatment in Manchester City.

The financial resources of the local rich men in the Middle East are too strong. Not to mention spending a lot of money on the transfer fee, they also spend the pound as a yen in the salary of the players.

Of course, Yang Feng also knows that as a non-Liverpool man, Sterling is more reluctant to let go of teammates like himself, rather than having too much deep affection for the team.

After all, Sterling himself is aware of the wages raised by his agent. Compared with salary and loyalty, Sterling himself is obviously more inclined to the former.

However, just because of salary issues, Sterling, the absolute core player on the offensive line last season, was sold at such a young age. Yang Feng can also see that Liverpool's management is definitely financially responsible for the team building plan. Safety first, as long as the team's combat power is not greatly affected.

Of course, if you buy a core frontcourt player at the Champions League level, Manchester City is also ready to be slaughtered.

Liverpool has no inner resistance to selling people. For many professional managers from the United States, only when they have just won the Triple Crown, they can maximize their profits by selling people.

As for Manchester City, they are worried that their meat will be cut off by other teams. In terms of price, Liverpool are extremely satisfied.

For Sterling, who performed quite well last season and is young enough, Manchester City is bound to win.

Same as the original history.

Manchester City, who is not satisfied with becoming a Premier League giant, has been unable to make a breakthrough in the Champions League for years, which has made Mansour lose confidence in coach Pellegrini.

Looking at Europe, there is a coach who has won the Champions League and can bring more pleasing offensive football to Manchester City. Maybe only Bayern's coach Guardiola is more suitable.

With only one season left in the contract between Guardiola and Bayern, and now the two sides have not renewed the contract, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bayern, which has always been "saving", neither wants to renew the contract, nor intends to pay liquidated damages , Gua Shuai and Bayern will definitely "break up peacefully" in a year without any accidents.

And Guardiola, who became a free man, will definitely become a favorite in the free market at that time.

Manchester City's competitive pressure is actually not small. After all, a coach with a high probability of bringing the team victory and a better view of offensive football is itself a scarce commodity in football.

Speaking of not short of money, Paris is not short of money, and Guardiola's old club Barcelona is not short of money. What Manchester City can do now is to frantically accumulate stars suitable for Guardiola's tactical system, and then next summer, relying on the ball Team lineup, to attract Guardiola.

After all, UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act is becoming more and more stringent, and every season is an embarrassment that the family has money and cannot spend it. Only Manchester City knows.

For a team that needs reform, it is still difficult to complete all substitutions in one season, but it is much easier to divide it into two seasons to reserve and clean personnel.

This year's Manchester City, although still not in contact with Guardiola, is already preparing to use superstar players suitable for Gua Shuai's tactical system to impress Gua Shuai next summer.

There is no need to discuss with next year's "acting coach" Pellegrini. Manchester City's summer purchase is more of an investment in the future.

Rather than selling a large number of powerful players in their hands, Manchester City will also buy at least two young superstars who can adapt to the pass control system this summer.

Sterling, the core striker of Liverpool's Triple Crown, is one of Manchester City's trump cards to impress Guardiola.

"Official announcement: Manchester City offered 70 million pounds to officially buy Sterling, the core of Liverpool's frontcourt!"

When the news about Sterling's transfer broke out a day ago, the fans were discussing the authenticity of the transfer while "climbing the tree".

After all, Sterling's sudden emergence last season is definitely the core figure for Liverpool's triple crown last season.

Liverpool, who were full of honors just now, let go of the core offensive players in the frontcourt like this. It is indeed false news no matter how you look at it.

Even more senior fans judged that this was just Sterling's pressure from the media to "touch porcelain" Manchester City in order to raise his salary.

After all, the media that broke out the gossip is itself one of the "toilet paper" media that does not have so much credibility. There are also real news, but there are also more rumors of various false news.

However, with the announcement of the official announcement the next day, everyone was stunned on the "tree". On the one hand, they were surprised that the speed of descending the tree was so fast this time. up!

"Liverpool, which can't be supported, has sold its offensive core in this way, how can it defend the Champions League next season!"

"I feel sorry for Yang Feng. I was full of honor just now. Liverpool will return to the mortal world next season."

"Do you understand football? Liverpool made a lot of money, 70 million pounds, is it enough for Liverpool to buy some powerful players, and didn't they buy a striker before? Benteke's performance last season was also good enough."

"Upstairs, use Benteke and Sterling? Isn't the lesson of Tottenham trading a big king for a bunch of small cards not enough?"

"That is, last season Liverpool traded a 'big king' Suarez for a bunch of small cards, and the start was avalanche. If it weren't for the sudden awakening of the 'hip', Liverpool would have collapsed last season."

For Liverpool fans, Sterling's departure is definitely still reluctant.

Although Sterling only completed his explosion this season, everyone has gradually fallen in love with this young man who was given the nickname "Bumpy Butt".

Familiar with his preparatory action before the breakthrough, which seemed to make people laugh. However, next season, Liverpool's lineup is destined to not have such a "pistachio".

Last season, Suarez left at a high price, and then Sterling stepped forward.

And this season Sterling is gone again, can Liverpool still have players to stand up and carry the team's offensive banner?
