Chapter 638 Modric
Chapter 638 Modric
After winning Wigan without bloodshed, Manchester City has completely stopped the devil's schedule. Before the arrival of the Champions League, Manchester City's next few rounds of matches have been relatively loose since the beginning of the season.
However, although the schedule is loose, the opponents are not easy to deal with. In the second round of the No.20 league, a tale of two cities will be staged again. Manchester City will welcome Tottenham at home, while Manchester United needs to be a guest at the Emirates Stadium.
At the beginning of the season, Manchester City beat Tottenham 5:1 at White Hart Lane, so in this game, Tottenham are aiming for revenge. At present, Tottenham are even competing with Manchester United for the second place in the league.
Manchester City has surprised the whole of England and Europe this season, but in the Premier League, Tottenham are no worse than Manchester City. After 21 league rounds, Tottenham are only two points behind Manchester United, ranking third in the standings with 46 points, ahead of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Tottenham's dual-core can be said to attract the attention of the entire European giants, especially Modric. Tottenham's midfielder has the demeanor of a generation of masters. In the Premier League, if Li Feng is the No.1 midfielder, then Modric is the second.
The "Guardian" broke the news that Ferguson directly found the head of the Glazer family and asked them to spend 5000 million to buy Modric.
It's just that this report was quickly denied by Ferguson: "Modric is an excellent player, but we have Salmi and Paul is back. I don't think we need Modric now."
Manchester United did not make any moves in the transfer market, and so did Manchester City. Heerenveen would eventually reject Manchester City's offer. In the end, Lauren and Dorst became the biggest beneficiaries of this squabble.
But the other side is progressing well. Hamburg has not set up any obstacles to the transfer of Sun Xingmin. Compared with the Dutch team wanting to make a fortune, the Bundesliga teams are generally more rational, and the final price of 500 euros is finalized.
However, Sun Xingmin will not come to Manchester City in the winter, but will continue to play for Hamburg until the end of the season. Although he is only a substitute for the team, Sun Xingmin performed well, scoring 9 goals in 4 appearances.
As for Tevez, the Argentines seem to be still waiting for AC Milan.
Before the game against Tottenham, Li Feng ushered in another two days of vacation. At the same time, Lauren once again went to the Three Treasure Hall without incident.
This guy is very good at finding time. Before the schedule was too dense, he never showed up. Now that the schedule is loose, this guy came over immediately to take Li Feng away.
But this time in Manchester, in addition to pulling Li Feng to shoot commercials, he also helped Sun Xingmin finalize the contract. Yes, Sun Xingmin also fell into Lauren's arms.
After returning from filming, Li Feng finally got a response from his uncle. After thinking about it for nearly a month, the uncle finally nodded and joined the small team established by Li Feng, and even became the team leader.
But the uncle didn't join right away. After the season ended, it didn't matter at all. Chen Qi had too many things to prepare for.
Although Li Feng wants pure football, there are some things in China that you can't just think about. Therefore, when there is no other way, Li Feng made a concession and let two domestic predators who are interested in football invest in.
For this reason, this guy has been upset for several days. Fortunately, these two big shots are just investing and advertising for their own brand. In football, they will not interfere too much, which makes Li Feng feel better.
In addition to the uncle, the eye-catching small team also has two coaches introduced to him by Van Gaal. Li Feng plans to use three people as the backbone, and let them decide on the next additions to the team.
The next day, Lauren went to the Manchester City club building to discuss Sun Xingmin's contract, while Li Feng was a little idle, and Sylvia left Manchester again. She was going to France first, and then flew to the United States.
Alone, Li Feng turned on the nerd mode again and found Bad Stuber who was far away in Germany. Some time ago, Bad Stuber and Müller had been mocking Li Feng.
No way, when the two of them took their girlfriends and wives out to enjoy a pleasant vacation, Li Feng was desperately playing on the court in the British Peninsula.
As good friends, the two of them naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, and this was also a small revenge for Li Feng, who told him to abandon them and go to England.
After the holiday, the team regrouped and Richards returned from injury, but during a confrontation training, Boateng unexpectedly fell to the ground.
This is definitely not good news for Manchester City. Kompany still needs to be suspended for two games because of the red card. Kolo Toure is far away in Africa. After Boateng was injured, only Lescott and Savage were left in Manchester City's defense.
Savage's current performance is disappointing. Although the number of appearances is very limited, it is with this limited strength that Savage shows his poor performance to the fullest. If it weren't for Van Basten, there would be no one available. The young central defender probably won't appear in Manchester City's starting list this season.
Perhaps Boateng's injury can bring about a slight change for Savage. Of course, this mainly depends on Savage himself. If he can't grasp it, he is likely to be kicked out by Manchester City.
On the afternoon of January 1, the Etihad was packed, and the current Etihad Stadium is definitely the most popular home stadium in the Premier League. Even this season, Manchester City has maintained an amazing victory at home.
With the support of fans from both sides, players from both sides began to play.
Manchester City lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
Defenders: Clichy, Lescott, Savage, Richards
Midfielders: Barry, Minaur, Li Feng
Forwards: Silva, Dzeko, Aguero
Tottenham lineup:
Goalkeeper: Friedel
Defenders: Hector, Kaboul, Ledlikin, Walker
Midfield: Bale, Modric, Parker, Lennon
Attacking midfielder: Van der Vaart
Forward: Defoe
Tottenham's lineup has not changed much from the first contest. The center is still based on Modric, but Modric's partner has been replaced by Parker, who has better defensive capabilities.
Crouch has already transferred and left, and Adebayor is on loan from Manchester City, so this game cannot be played. Between Pavlyuchenko and Defoe, the old coach Redknapp chose the faster Defoe.
This choice is completely aimed at Manchester City's defense. The speed of Lescott and Savage is not good, especially Savage. Speed can be said to be his biggest weakness.
