What ball king, call me ball god

On July 7, after the match against Roma.

The Manchester United team will participate in an event at the official Manchester United flagship store in BJ on July 7.

Then fly to Shanghai on July 7.

After two days of rest, the final game of the International Champions Cup will be played against Manchester City at the Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium on July 7.

There are only three games in the International Champions Cup.

But Manchester United's pre-season is more than three games.

After the end of the International Champions Cup, on July 7, the Manchester United team will fly back to Manchester, and then until the week before the first round of the Premier League, there are still nearly 22 days.

During these 20 days, Manchester United will conduct 5 warm-up matches.

Among them are the teams in the British Championship and the teams in the top league.

Of course, that's for the future.

At present, Manchester United still needs to prepare for the game against Manchester City.

Like the event at Manchester United's official flagship store in China on July 7.

Basically, it is a stage where Link is alone.

After the event, the whole team still has some rest time, and will fly to Shanghai the next day.

That night, Lin Kedi received a call from Ten Hag.

"Lin, are you in the hotel now?"

"Of course. What's the matter? Coach."

"Well, I'll go to your room later, and I'll be with Mitchell."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Kedi was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it, thinking it might be the team's business.

As for why you should find yourself.

Lin Kedi thought to himself, although he is not the captain, he is also the top card. Besides, among the captains and vice captains, the first captain is Ashley Young, who is basically unable to play, and the second captain is De Gea.

But there are actually many disadvantages of being the captain of the goalkeeper.

This is why many teams now basically don't find a goalkeeper as the captain.

In a team, the captain and the top card play a big role.

In addition, Lin Kedi is the one with three-point transfer rights.

Lin Kedi thought to himself, probably Ten Hag came to him to talk about the transfer.

After about 5 or 6 minutes, the doorbell rang.

Lin Kedi opened the door.

Ten Hag and Mitchell come in.

Mitchell holds a computer.

"Coach, what are you looking for me for?"

"Come to talk about the transfer?"

"Is there still room to introduce players?"

"Yes, right wing position!"

The three walked to the living room and sat down.

Yes, Lin Kedi's room is a suite.

As soon as he sat down, Ten Hag spoke first.

"Lin, I believe you have also noticed Greenwood's performance in these two games."

"It's okay to cut inside, and the shooting sight is not bad at his age, but his passing ability is average."

"Yes, his passing ability is not very good. Cutting shots are his greatest ability, but in this Manchester United team, it is not enough! We need players who can pass the ball from the wing. But obviously Greenwood is not such a player at the moment. Players, and Lingard and Mata who can play on the right are not in this category."

"Coach, do you have someone to choose?"

"There is one. Good and cheap."

"It's not Perisic, is it?"

"You know what I think? It's him!"

At this time, Lin Kedi thought of the post he read a few days ago.

"There are not many excellent right wingers on the market, especially now those who can play right wingers are basically reverse-footed wingers. There are very few wingers like Perisic who can pass the ball from the right winger and can also cut inside. Less. The only thing to consider is probably his age."

"Exactly 30 years old. The age is just right. When he declines, Greenwood should also grow up. Of course, if Greenwood has not grown up at that time, it is necessary to find the next main target. At present, Perisic is definitely a transition target. But he is indeed a cheap transition target."

"I've heard that Inter are eager to get rid of him now. Because he doesn't want to play at wing-back."

"Yes, Conte insists on 343, but there is no winger position in 343, and Perisic is not willing to play as a wingback. Conti mainly sells Perisic, but Inter Milan said that loan is also possible. What do you think? How about the deal?"

"Of course. It's a good deal!"

"It would be great to have your support, we will propose to Ed immediately, and then hope to complete this transaction as soon as possible."

"In this case, will Greenwood have any ideas?"

"So what if he has an idea? He was only a substitute last season, and it's no problem to continue to be a substitute this season. What's more, there are many games in the Premier League, plus the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League. After one season, 4. It is impossible for Perisic to play all 50 games, and he will definitely have a chance to play at that time."

"That's fine, Manchester United fans care about youth training."

"Heh, they're called Manchester United DNA. But if someone is stronger than DNA, then it must be the stronger person who plays. This is the simplest truth."

The conversation between Lin Kedi and Ten Hag was effective and efficient.

Talked for 10 minutes and it was over.

Then, the next day, the Manchester United team flew to Shanghai.

After landing in Shanghai, Lin Kedi saw the news about Perisic and Manchester United.

Link thought to himself, Ten Hage must have told Ed when he went back last night.

Otherwise it would not be so fast.

And after arriving in Shanghai.

Bentancur has also joined the main force.

After two days of joint training.

In the game against Manchester City, Bentancur will get the chance to play.

July 7, at 21:17, Shanghai Hongkou Stadium.

The game is about to start.

The Hongkou Football Stadium can accommodate 3 fans and is the first professional football stadium in China.

It's just that now, the number of fans that can accommodate fans is already a bit small.

But there is really a big gap between professional football fields.

Today is also full of seats.

The scene is almost a sea of ​​red.

Occasionally there are sporadic blue jerseys.

Guardiola looked at his assistant.

"Look, these 3 people are almost all wearing Manchester United jerseys. But if Lin came from Manchester City, these 5 people should be wearing blue jerseys!"

"Pep, are you still regretting that Lin didn't choose Manchester City?"

"He is indeed a perfect center forward. He can score goals by himself, pass the ball, press in high positions, and has the speed to break through. The most important thing is that his foot skills are also extremely delicate. This is what I value most. He is The center player that fits my tactics best. In a sense, it fits better than Messi! So it's a pity."

"However, it may be difficult for Manchester United players to come to Manchester City."

"That's right, nothing is perfect in the world."

Meanwhile, inside the Manchester City dressing room.

Jesus couldn't help saying to De Bruyne.

"Kevin, are there no Manchester City fans in China? It shouldn't be, there are red jerseys outside!"

"There must be Manchester City fans in China. You didn't look at the number of global fans released by the club this year. China is the country with the fastest rise. It's just that all the fans who came today must be fans of that person!"

"Indeed, he is Chinese. In China, everyone must come to see him. It is estimated that Messi and Ronaldo will not be more popular than him in China."

"It's for sure, not to mention, if nothing unexpected, this year's Golden Globe Award will be his!"

"Kevin, do you also think the Golden Globe will be his?"

"He performed so well this year, won the most important championships, and broke the record of the Champions League. This year is not a big competition year, not to mention that he directly eliminated Messi. I really can't think of any possibility for him. No Ballon d'Or."

"makes sense."

On the other side, the game was about to start, but at this time Ten Hag received a call.

He hadn't come out of the tunnel yet, so he just picked it up, it was Ed Woodward's.

"Eric, I know the game is about to start, but I think I should tell you first."

"Perisic finished talking?"

"Yes, Perisic agreed to come to us, and Inter Milan also agreed to loan us a loan fee of 500 million. We have already agreed to the contract."

"That's good, that's good!"

"There is one more thing that I want to tell you in advance. I think you should also know."

"What's the matter? UEFA notified us that you have entered the three-man shortlist for UEFA's best coach of the season, and their original words are, you must come!"

"I must go? Isn't it?"

"Yes, I guess that's what you understand."

"What about Lin? His award?"

"Lin, I don't think you need to worry about it. If he doesn't come to win UEFA's best player, who else can it be? I don't worry about including the World Footballer. It's the Golden Globe Award. I always like to make things happen. So ah , and that's the third thing I'm going to say."

"Standing up?"

"Yes. In the last game, I saw the giant tifo that the Chinese fans made for Lin. On it was a photo of Link's opponent holding the Golden Globe. I think this is an opportunity to build momentum. I learned from the fan organization that today also There will be a giant tifo."

"I understand. After today's game, I will take the initiative to mention the Golden Globe."

"You don't need to take the initiative to ask, some reporters will ask questions. At that time——"

"I understand, Ed, don't worry, I want Lin to win the Ballon d'Or more than anyone. He is a great player. It is an honor to coach such a player and Manchester United can have such a player! So , don't worry, I will."

After the two finished talking, the game was about to start.

At this time, players from both sides walked into the field.

In the area of ​​the South Stand, as soon as players from both sides entered the field, it was different from the tifo in the previous game. This time it rose slowly from under the stands.

When the face of Lin Kedi came up first, a very handsome and heroic face.

Then there was Lin Kedi's raised right arm.

Make a fist with your left hand.

Resolute eyes.

Then three trophies were placed in front of Lin Kedi.

UEFA European Player of the Year, FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or, these three trophies shine with gold.

This meaningful tifo is displayed.

The reporters and directors at the scene focused their cameras on this tifo. (end of this chapter)
