Pogba is on fire!
But it's not the kind of fire everyone imagines.
Except for the Yorkshire Post and some British media that pay attention to Leeds United on a daily basis, it is actually very difficult for any media to focus on the Championship games, let alone follow a certain team's matches at all times.
But as an insider, many teams have arranged scouts for the English Championship games.
For example, when the Premier League subsidizes teams at all levels, the subsidies for teams in the Championship are much higher than those in League One and League Two.
The most direct reason is that the English Championship is the talent training base of the Premier League.
This has also caused many scouts from Premier League teams to pay close attention to the trends in the English Championship.
Leeds United reversed West Ham United, which was quite an upset in the English Championship. Pogba's performance at the critical moment also amazed everyone, and it immediately spread in the circle.
For an eighteen-year-old youngster to be able to turn the tide, even in the English Championship, is quite dazzling.
After Gao Shen woke up from his sleep, he heard a lot of discussions about Pogba, which has obviously caused quite a stir in the Premier League circles. As long as he maintains his current momentum, I believe his future is limitless.
Of course, it is normal for young players to perform inconsistently, so we cannot expect too much from him.
Ferguson, on the other hand, personally called Gao Shen and told him about the matter.
"Our technical department told me that selling Pogba would be a big mistake!"
Ferguson's tone was quite sour, and he even used swear words.
"I fucking regret it now!"
Gao Shen grinned, "It's too late, Sir, there is no regret medicine in this world."
Ferguson's teeth ached with hatred. Whenever he thought about how Gao Shen had plotted against him, his heart would always ache.
After playing hawk all my life, I was pecked in the eye by a house sparrow.
"I don't care. Anyway, you have to promise me that when you want to sell Pogba later, you must ask me first and give priority to Manchester United, you know?" Ferguson was also excited.
In fact, given the current situation, the best outcome for Manchester United is to have a right of first refusal.
It makes no sense to force Pogba back at this time. After all, Manchester United really has no way to provide Pogba with such a good training platform.
More importantly, Pogba has figured it out now. As long as he plays like this for one or two seasons, the speed of improvement will be amazing.
No one knows how to train young players better than Ferguson, especially a talent like Pogba.
One or two seasons, for such a talent, is a complete transformation.
Wouldn't it be better if he waits until he has reached a certain level and then Manchester United can harvest it slowly?
As Gao Shen said, isn't it just money?
Manchester United is not short of money.
"Okay, Jazz, I'll give you a promise. At the same price, we will give priority to you and sell to Manchester United. Is that okay?"
Ferguson then hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Gao Shen would be happy, wouldn't it be better with Manchester United's participation?
Apart from anything else, Manchester United is expert in raising prices.
…
Leeds United's opening winning streak has attracted the attention of more and more professionals.
Not only Pogba, Paulinho, Kurzawa and Benteke also attracted a lot of attention.
Specific to the game against West Ham United, the performance of Paulinho and Kurzawa was also crucial, and Benteke's tactical role was also quite obvious.
If Pogba played a key role at the critical moment, then these three players quickly caught up and helped Leeds United to form an overwhelming attack against West Ham United.
After Gao Shen hung up the phone from Ferguson, he immediately checked online.
Hey, this investigation really made him happy.
Pogba was worth one million pounds when he joined, but his actual worth is around 1.5 million. The most important thing is that his contract only has one year left, so the price is relatively low, and Manchester United doesn't care about this money.
But now, the French midfielder's worth has reached 3.5 million.
It has doubled compared to when I joined.
Paulinho was worth 1.5 million euros when he joined, but now it has reached 5 million pounds. He is currently the most valuable player in Leeds United. This shows that his performance is recognized by everyone.
And Benteke, now it's three million pounds, three times what it was when he joined.
After all their efforts, these players had only experienced a few warm-up matches and the start of the league, and their values had doubled or tripled.
Gao Shen really became more and more excited as he watched it. He quickly called Su Qing and talked about the matter.
Although in the past, Gao Shen would be excited when the players he coached were worth more, but now that it is his own team, he is more than excited, he is simply crazy with joy, okay?
On the contrary, Su Qing reminded him more calmly, "Shouldn't you focus on the game against Tottenham at this time?"
Only then did Gao Shen "come to his senses."
…
White Hart Lane at night.
In the first game of the third round of the Premier League ahead of schedule, Manchester City challenged Tottenham Hotspur away.
Due to injuries and rotations, Gao Shen once again adopted a 442 formation.
But this time the lineup is obviously different from before.
Gao Shen deployed a double forward combination of Robinho and Robinho, putting David Silva on the right, Hazard on the left, and Fernandinho and Yaya Toure forming a double midfielder.
Tottenham Hotspur still adopted their regular 4-2-31 lineup, and even deployed Crouch on the front line in an attempt to suppress Manchester City.
As soon as the game started, the two sides were really evenly matched, going back and forth.
On Manchester City's side, due to Robben's injury, David Silva was used on the right, which lacked impact and could only allow Zabaleta to frequently advance forward to exert pressure on the offensive end.
Gao Shen really showed off his skills at the tactical level this season, with various playing styles and formations at his fingertips.
What's interesting is that Manchester City always has the advantage on the field.
This is due to the fact that this group of Manchester City players have been fighting side by side for more than two years in this mature and stable tactical framework.
In the 34th minute, it was Hazard who dribbled the ball from the left. After forcibly breaking through Joel Luca, he dribbled the ball into the left rib of the penalty area. After creating chaos in the Tottenham penalty area, he passed the ball to Van Persie.
, the Dutch center opened the scoring for Manchester City.
One to zero!
Just seven minutes later, Hazard broke through with the ball again, passed three Tottenham players and then passed low into the penalty area. Van Persie easily shot low and scored again, 2-0!
After taking a two-goal lead, Manchester City's advantage was already quite obvious.
Redknapp even had to replace midfielder Huddlestone at halftime to strengthen the midfield interception.
But only ten minutes into the second half, Yaya Toure made a late pass and passed the ball from the front of the penalty area. Van Persie volleyed the ball skillfully and sent the ball into Tottenham's goal again.
Three to zero!
hat trick!
Van Persie was all excited.
Just five minutes later, Hazard broke through with the ball and passed the ball in front of the goal. Van Persie missed it, and Robinho easily pushed the shot into the empty goal. It was 4-0!
In the 68th minute, Tottenham, which had used up three substitutions early, launched a counterattack, but the ball was intercepted just after it passed the center line. Fernandinho sent a long pass to the back of the defense.
After Van Persie got the ball from behind, he calmly scored with a single shot.
Happy Fourth!
Five to zero!
The army was defeated like a mountain!
The entire White Hart Lane stadium was filled with grief.
I knew Manchester City was very strong, but I didn't expect it to be this strong.
Gao Shen had a normal expression on the sidelines as he applauded and cheered for the players, but he was also very excited in his heart.
This season is his third season coaching Manchester City, and the overall strength of this team has reached its peak.
Van Persie's current condition is getting better and better, and the more he plays, the smoother he plays.
As far as centers are concerned, he is now at least ranked among the top three.
Suarez?
Sorry, he is also in the top three.
Of course, Gao Shen is talking about immediate combat ability. Like Drogba, although he still performs very vigorously sometimes, his immediate combat ability has fallen out of the top three.
In other words, Manchester City has two centers ranked among the top three in the world.
As for who the other one is?
Whoever wants to fight can fight, Manchester City has two of them anyway.
