Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 628

"Xiao Su! The team just called me! They hope to sign a new 4-year contract with me."

"Congratulations, Brother Sun!"

"Haha, you are right. The team still believes in me. To be honest, I have been sitting at home these days and seeing the team introduce so many players at once, and I am really suffering."

Through the phone, Su Fei could feel the joy in Sun Jihai's tone, and he was sincerely happy for Old Sun in his heart.

Old Sun, who was born in 1977, is 30 this year. It is not easy to get a 4-year long contract with the team.

Regardless of whether there are any factors of his own, the result is always a happy one.

After talking about himself, Sun Jihai turned the topic to Manchester City's transfer operations in recent times.

"Xiao Su, the team has recruited 6 players at once. What do you think?"

"Recruiting more players means that our lineup depth will be greatly improved next season. Similarly, the competition for the main players will be more intense. It is definitely a good thing for the team. For us, we have to work harder."

"No matter how many people you recruit, your position will definitely be stable. As for me... you are right, I must work harder to ensure my position."

Su Fei is very happy that Sun Jihai can see the current situation clearly. All he can do is to ask the team to keep Sun.

But the main players rotate.

He has no reason to interfere.

Just like the players on his list who asked Guardiola to introduce, if they cannot adapt to the Premier League and realize their potential in Manchester City, or come up with matching losses.

They may not be able to rotate this season, and they may not be able to stay in Manchester City next season.

Internal competition.

It is the necessary element for a team to develop healthily.

And Manchester City in the first two seasons.

Due to personnel issues, there is a lack of such internal competition.

This season, we have achieved the treble.

The fighting spirit, morale and attitude of the team members will inevitably decline.

Countless dynasty teams have collapsed after reaching their peak because of this factor.

Without internal troubles, there must be external troubles.

So.

This is one of the important reasons why Su Fei hopes that the team can introduce players in every position this summer.

Not only because Manchester City needs to strengthen and needs more rotation.

More importantly.

It is to use internal competition to keep everyone motivated.

...........................................................

On Friday, June 21, local time in Spain, a transfer that has attracted much attention from fans since the beginning of this year has finally settled.

Atletico Madrid of La Liga officially announced that the team captain Fernando Torres chose to leave and join Liverpool of the Premier League for a transfer fee of 36 million euros.

At the same time, Liverpool officially announced that Luis Garcia joined Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of 4 million euros.

Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, who have been flirting with each other since the beginning of this year, have jointly created a higher transfer record since Pepe joined Manchester City for 31 million euros.

According to relevant reports from the Guardian in England, Spanish golden boy Fernando Torres' annual salary at Liverpool is about 8 million euros. Although this salary level is not as high as the team captain Gerrard.

But in Liverpool, it is second only to Gerrard, and even above the team's main players Xabi Alonso and Jamie Carragher.

At the media interview for joining Liverpool, Fernando Torres said: "Even if I leave Atletico Madrid, I will always be grateful. It was Atletico Madrid that made me. But maybe leaving Atletico Madrid can make us both go further. I am very happy to come to the Premier League to join Liverpool. I can't wait to play on the court."

............................................................

Just when the fans thought that Torres joining Liverpool was the most important transfer news this summer.

On June 25, Manchester City made a big splash.

Suddenly.

The club once again officially announced the joining of four players.

The first one is Angel Di Maria.

The 19-year-old Angel Di Maria, who is 1.8 meters tall, was born in the youth training of the Rosario Club in Argentina. He began to represent Rosario in the Argentine League at the end of 2005. Last season, Di Maria played 25 times for the team and scored 6 goals.

Manchester City spent 8 million euros on the transfer fee to bring this young Argentine teenager.Brought to England.

.....

The second one, Juan Mata.

19-year-old Juan Mata was born in Spain. Unlike those players who became famous at a young age. It was not until he was 15 that Juan Mata got the opportunity to join the Real Madrid youth training.

This forward player, who is only 1.7 meters tall, showed his unique talent and calm and humble character in the Real Madrid youth team. And helped Real Madrid win the Youth King Cup in the 2005-06 season.

However, after the contract expired this season, Real Madrid did not choose to renew his contract.

So Juan Mata joined Manchester City as a free agent.

......

The third one, Ivan Rakitic.

Manchester City welcomed the fourth Croatian to join.

The 19-year-old Ivan Rakitic came from the youth training of Basel in the Swiss Super League. This season, he officially took the position of the team's first-team main force. He played 46 times for Basel and scored 11 goals. He was successfully elected as the best rookie of the Swedish Super League this season.

Ivan Rakitic, who has earned his reputation, is eager to show himself in a higher league.

Manchester City spent 5 million euros to buy this young and talented midfielder from Basel.

......

Fourth place, Dani Alves.

Manchester City, which has already had 8 players join this summer, finally welcomed another defender to join.

24-year-old Dani Alves, who has always played as a right back, was a member of the Brazilian team's roster for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Last season, he helped La Liga team Sevilla win the UEFA Cup and the European Super Cup as a loan player.

Manchester City spent a total of 18 million euros in transfer fees to get this rising defender star.

But head coach Guardiola laughed and said in an interview: "We are definitely the one who made a lot of money in this deal. I believe Dani can double his value through his own performance in the new season."

......

No one would have thought before the start of this offseason that Manchester City, which won the treble, would become the team with the most signings this summer.

Counting the 4 this time, plus the 6 before.

The Manchester City Evening News has a special column to rank Manchester City's 10 signings.

First tier: Pepe 31 million

Second tier: Mandzukic 1.3 million, Mata 0, Ivan Rakitic 5 million, Alves 18 million, Toure 9 million.

Third tier: Benzema 9 million, Balotelli 4.5 million, Kompany 8 million, Di Maria 8 million.

Total expenditure: 93.8 million euros.

"Manchester City, which was still a pauper a season and a half ago, has become the team that has spent the most on signings among all the clubs in Europe this summer. But Manchester City's signings do not seem to be as commensurate with the value as the crazy Mourinho did back then. An appropriate metaphor is that Manchester City behaves like a nouveau riche. The joining of a full 10 players together is likely to make Manchester City a mess next season." - Reporter Joey.
