Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Guardiola shook his head repeatedly: "Judging from our interactions over this period, Fabregas probably won't be able to wait three years. In fact... if his needs aren't met after this season, he will definitely seek a transfer."

"And Arsenal will definitely make an offer for him this summer."

Fonte: "What's Wenger so anxious about? Arsenal's squad may not be the strongest, but it's the best fit for them. What does he need Fabregas for?"

Guardiola: "Wenger is preparing for a generational shift. Bergkamp is 34, Pires is 30. Arsenal's creative attacking players are nearing the end of their prime."

"If Wenger cannot find a suitable replacement to seamlessly take over, he will have to waste the prime years of players like Henry, Ljungberg, and Vieira."

"Therefore, he must prepare in advance. Fabregas, a midfielder who still needs two or three years to fully mature, is his best choice."

Maxi: "Then why doesn't he compete with midfielders of the same age as David Silva?"

Guardiola: "David Silva is no worse than Fabregas in Manchester City's system. But in terms of absolute attacking talent, besides Keanu Reeves, it's Fabregas."

"I have to say, Wenger has a keen eye for talent."

Just then, Deng Kai walked over and overheard their discussion: "Let's go, it's not bad to take even one point from London."

"Caucasus was always Wenger's type. We've managed to snatch him away this time, but Wenger will eventually take him back."

Maxi was furious: "He's being outrageous! Fabregas was born a Manchester City player, and he'll die a Barcelona player. What does it have to do with Arsenal?"

Deng Kai nodded, then quietly pointed to Vieira, who looked embarrassed next to Wenger during the interview, and said, "Wenger is thinking about my Fabregas, so how can I not be thinking about his Vieira?"

Guardiola's eyes lit up: "You mean? When the time is right, we can swap Fabregas for Vieira?"

That's a good deal.

After all, Vieira is currently the world's best defensive midfielder.

And Fabregas...four million euros?

It's a steal, isn't it?

Deng Kai shook his head.

Guardiola: "That's a bit of a pipe dream for me. I estimate we'll have to put in at least ten or twenty million."

Deng Kai continued to shake his head: "It has to be an Arsenal offer! It would be best if Fabregas had ambition, otherwise I'm worried he won't be able to handle being a substitute in both the league and European competitions, and a starter in both the League Cup and the FA Cup!"

"Within two years at most, he will be the most promising midfielder in the Premier League; he will be the Gerrard and Lampard of the next two years!"

sizzle!

Guardiola and others gasped in shock.

Now they know why Sporting Lisbon made such a fortune back then and was willing to let Duncan go for free.

If a world-class leader in midfield is willing to nurture a player, that player, unless he's completely incompetent, will inevitably be nurtured and developed!

Don't believe me? Look at Quaresma, Viana, Kaká, Ronaldinho, Drogba, Yinbu, Cristiano Ronaldo...

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

After the match, only Wu Xudong from Arsenal noticed that Vieira was in a bad mood.

Because if Fabregas is the midfield maestro Wenger has always wanted.

What about Vieira?

……

September 20th, the sixth round of the Premier League.

Manchester City will host Blackburn Rovers.

Lahm shone brightly in this match, providing two assists for a brace.

In fact, Lahm was the team's starting left-back in the early part of last season.

As a result, Grosso's injury allowed him to rise to prominence and become unstoppable, eventually landing him on the bench as a substitute surprise weapon.

This season, Lahm's strong performance has shown Ashley Young that Grosso's actions are something he shouldn't repeat.

This season, I'm the undisputed first-choice left-back for Manchester City!

Ashley Young: But am I not a winger?

Lahm: Didn't you realize that the Celtics are developing you to play as a full-back?

Not only did Ram perform exceptionally well.

Adriano scored again in this match, marking his fifth consecutive game with a goal.

And this time it was two goals and one assist!

He scored a goal and also provided an assist for Deng Kai.

Adriano scored eight goals in six rounds, equaling Thierry Henry's record and taking the top spot in the Premier League scoring charts.

In addition, Ribery once again provided an assist for Villa, who came on as a substitute.

This made Torres, who was in the hospital, very anxious, and he returned to the team for training the very next day.

Fortunately, his injury was almost healed anyway, so a day or two earlier wouldn't have mattered.

On September 24th, many Manchester United players enjoyed a holiday.

For example, Toure and Essien, whose attendance rates last season were comparable to those of iron men.

For example, Desailly, who had been in poor form in the previous few matches.

For example, Baggio, who complained to the team that he was playing too many minutes and needed a rest.

Even Chiellini was on the bench.

Because today is Manchester City's first European match in decades!

Europa League Round 1, First Leg!

Manchester City vs. KSC Lokeren!

It's okay if you haven't heard of this team. It's precisely because you haven't heard of them that Manchester City rotated nearly half of their key players.

This was discussed by the media before the match.

Lokeren is a football club from Belgium.

They are considered a strong team in Belgium.

But within Europe, that definitely wouldn't work.

It's definitely not comparable to a "mini treble" like Manchester City in the top five leagues.

But Manchester City shouldn't be so arrogant.

Five starters were dropped!

What arrogance!

Sky Sports: "Manchester City's first European competition in decades, and they're so careless! Perhaps they don't understand that European competition is a different battlefield!"

Dongqiudi (a sports betting website): "Little-known fact: Deng Kai led his team to five UEFA Cup titles and three Champions League titles! He also won numerous accolades, including two European competition titles, Best Player award, Golden Boot, and Top Assists!"

The Times: "Villa, Adriano, and Ribery should be in the starting lineup without much problem; this attacking trio is in excellent form."

"But in midfield, Mascherano, who hasn't been used much yet, and the inexperienced Fabregas are unlikely to be up to the task!"

"And in the backfield, the combination of Lahm, Thiago Silva, Kompany, and Maicon is really unsettling."

"Especially Kompany, apart from his height, we can't see any difference between this young man and Fonte!"

Fonte was moved to tears.

He unilaterally announced that he would subscribe to The Times permanently.

Comparing him to Kompany is the greatest recognition Fonte can receive at this stage!

He even mailed twelve dishes of Chinese food, including Kung Pao Chicken, Boiled Fish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Wensi Tofu, to the editorial department of The Times, allowing them to enjoy the top-notch culinary skills that only the Cavaliers could enjoy—twelve delicious dishes!

Even the Manchester Evening News, a staunch supporter of Manchester City, expressed concern after reviewing the substitutes: "The recently recovered Torres, Ashley Young who can't dribble past opponents, the mini-midfielder David Silva, the unknown striker Mandzukic, the underage defender Vidal, Fonte who hasn't played in a long time, and Neuer who relies on his feet for saves..."

"Is Maximo really that confident that his starting lineup will be able to easily defeat the opponent?"

"If the starting lineup doesn't perform, these substitute players are almost guaranteed to be of no use!"

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
