Chapter 547: Chapter 546: Manchester City’s Record Signing Emerges (Please Reward)
"These players had faced off against Deng Kai and Ronaldo four, three years ago. They even shone brighter than CR at the beginning!"
"If the growth rate of ordinary players is ten kilometers per second, then the growth rate of the above-mentioned genius players has already reached supersonic speeds. They were almost all sure to make names for themselves in the future."
"Manchester City was able to acquire them, not because City is wealthy, but because City is willing to give them time! Playing time in top-level leagues and important matches! This is the most sought-after resource for attracting genius players! That’s exactly what young players lack the most!"
"However, this also shows that these supersonic geniuses haven’t escaped the normal range of human understanding. They still need time, don’t they?"
"But Deng Kai and Ronaldo are different, their growth rate is the speed of light! It’s beyond the realm of human comprehension! It’s of a historical level!"
"You can’t look at those supersonic geniuses in the same way you look at them, just like how you’d think an annual salary of two hundred thousand seems pitifully small when you’re used to seeing numbers in the tens of millions online, even though your own annual salary is still only in the low five figures."
The Torino Sport Newspaper displayed their unique insights and evaluations of young players, reflecting a high level of professionalism.
Their Golden Boy award will surely succeed because they possess genuine substance.
At the same time, they also analyzed other players from Manchester City.
"Ribery might be playing in amateur matches, but his skills are anything but amateur. Once the brightest youngster in Lyon’s academy, he was mainly dismissed from the team due to poor lifestyle choices. And the Chinese are the best at moral reconstruction and education! At nineteen, he still has the chance to change everything!"
"Chiellini may only be a Serie C champion, but his mature performance has attracted attention from big clubs like Juventus, Roma, Lazio, and Inter Milan. Especially since he has played in the defender position for only two years and yet demonstrated such ability, his adaptability is frightening! At eighteen, he has the look and composure of a thirty-year-old!"
"Thiago Silva was already a famous talent in Brazil during his teenage years, despite not being recognized by Fluminense. After joining a Rio team, he had a very successful season; he is only eighteen years old, what more do you want?"
"At twenty-five, Fabio Grosso may be ordinary, but he is a genuine Serie A player; he’s about to secure a main position at Perugia! Without Baggio as an advocate, he might not have joined a Premier League team fighting relegation."
"At thirty-three, Lehmann is not young, but his performance last season in Bundesliga’s Borussia Dortmund was absolutely star-level! If not for Manchester City’s willingness to offer a long contract, his next team could have been Bayern Munich. Also, Arsenal made contact with him, but a lack of trust was the key reason he didn’t head to London!"
"As for Baggio, Guardiola, Schmeichel, Robbie Fowler, Maicon, and Tu Lei, there’s no need to mention."
"As long as this batch of new and old players can blend with each other, it’s unpredictable for next season. But within three years, there’s a great possibility of them breaking into the Premier League’s top four! Making a comeback on the UEFA Champions League scene!"
"We even believe that within three years, they’ll inevitably capture the Championship Trophy! Whether it’s the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, or even the UEFA Europa League... because they have Deng Kai in the team, the most capable active player of winning trophies!"
The journalists from the Torino Sport Newspaper were wholehearted.
Unfortunately, their reasoning was ultimately reduced by other media and fans to a simplification: "From ten trophies in two years to one in three, that is the best future for Deng Kai."
Only Deng Kai liked the Torino Sport Newspaper article and replied, "If by that time I still consider myself a decent star, I would be very willing to be the award presenter for the inaugural Golden Boy award!"
The Torino Sport Newspaper office erupted in excitement.
Not to mention Deng Kai is still ranked third on the real-time Golden Ball leaderboard.
The significance of Deng Kai himself for the Golden Boy award is immense.
It’s even greater than the significance of Zidane or Ronaldo presenting the award.
Because Deng Kai is different.
Because Deng Kai is not even seventeen years old!
He is the youngest football megastar in history!
He is the best representative of all Golden Boys!
Cristiano Ronaldo: "Heh, so I’ve been ’represented’ again?"
...
Manchester City, in terms of players, is gradually becoming more complete.
Whether or not those players are acknowledged, at least the numbers are sufficient.
But what about the head coach?
A large part of the original coaching staff of this team has left, and among those who remain, no one is fit for the heavy responsibility of head coach.
Are they really considering letting the newly joined assistant coach Deschamps act as the interim head coach?
Though it’s possible, but... does Deschamps understand coaching?
Isn’t he just the guy who stood behind Zidane doing nothing of consequence?
Tactics and such, Deschamps can’t handle that.
The English media all began listing suitable head coaches for Manchester City.
Among them, Liverpool legend Kevin Keegan is a very good choice.
And Kevin Keegan has also stated that if Manchester City gives him enough authority, he could come to help the team.
What Kevin Keegan doesn’t know is that because of the word "authority," he has already permanently missed his chance with Manchester City at this moment.
Because there’s only one requirement for the head coach on this team... just be my good amplifier, Deng Kai, and don’t take any control.
However, speaking of head coach, some people aren’t troubled anymore.
During this period, a top-class coach was highly sought after.
"Milan Sport Newspaper": "Moratti admits that Inter Milan is pursuing Maxa! He is the most important part of Inter’s bid for the Champions League this season!"
"Torino Sport Newspaper": "Moratti is very likely to offer the world’s highest salary to Maxa, who has just stepped down from the position of assistant coach of the China team!"
"France Football": "Maxa, on the pedestal, receives a call from Real Madrid! If Maxa agrees to coach the Galacticos, Florentino will immediately dismiss Bosque!"
"Record Report": "The Argentina national team is interested in inviting Maxa to coach! More than eighty percent of the national team players agree!"
Among them, Inter Milan’s actions are the most fervent.
Moratti even invited Maxa to experience the glitz and glamor of Milan!
Maxa was tempted for a moment, but...
Maxa: "I’m sorry I can’t coach Inter Milan because I have already promised another team in advance."
Moratti was extremely regretful, and suddenly the model by his side didn’t seem as appealing: "I can help you pay the penalty for breach of contract, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let your reputation suffer any loss!"
Maxa shook his head: "It’s not a matter of money. They need me during their toughest time, I must go help them. And as for Inter Milan, even without me, you will be brilliant this season."
"Your lineup decides that you’re a destined championship team, I have to say, your transfer dealings have been done very well! The departure of Ronaldo won’t hurt you too much. Who can guarantee he won’t be absent due to injuries for most of the season again?"
