Football King Bale

After defeating Tottenham at home, the Christmas Devil schedule came to a successful end, and Manchester United won three consecutive victories. However, because the main competitors Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have also achieved three consecutive victories, the gap between the four teams in the Premier League standings has remained unchanged.

However, Manchester United's main players can take a breath for the time being. Because the next two games are one against Swansea in the third round of this year's FA Cup, and the other is the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

According to the plan, Manchester United will field a rotating lineup for the FA Cup match against Swansea, while the original second team will continue to play in the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

Manchester United's main players have played a lot of games since the start of this season. Even though Ferguson has rotated as much as possible, many players are very tired now.

Ferguson hopes to use the ten days before the 21st round of the Premier League to rest the team's main lineup as much as possible for the subsequent sprint phase of the Premier League.

………………

January 2, 2014, afternoon, Carrington training base.

After the game against Tottenham yesterday afternoon, Ferguson gave the team a half-day off this morning and resumed training in the afternoon.

Bell and his teammates are running laps in the icy north wind under the leadership of the team's assistant coach and player Giggs. Assistant coach Mike Phelan and members of the Manchester United coaching staff are paying attention to the training of the players. .

On the 1st, the international football winter transfer window has opened.

Every time a transfer window opens, there will inevitably be various transfer rumors, and this winter transfer window is no exception.

As one of the most famous clubs in the world, Manchester United is always the target of media hype during the transfer period. Recently, there has been a constant stream of news in newspapers surrounding the transfers and transfers of teams.

Even the unscrupulous news that Real Madrid and Barcelona are preparing to acquire Bell has been fabricated countless times to attract the public's attention, let alone other Manchester United players.

Of course, everyone knows that if Manchester United really intends to sell Bell, it is hard for Barcelona to say. Real Madrid chairman Florentino will definitely spend money to sign Bell without hesitation, no matter how much Manchester United asks.

Manchester United players have long been accustomed to these disturbing rumors. Except for those players who are really ready to leave the team, or some players who are worried about the impact of new players on their positions, no one else will be affected by these transfer scandals.

………………

After the afternoon training session, most of the Manchester United players left the training ground, but Bell entered the training room for additional training.

For Bell, the team's popular training sessions cannot meet his requirements.

After an hour of extra practice, it was already 6:30 pm.

When Bale used the electronic lock to open his car and was about to leave the training base, he was stopped by Giggs.

Looking at Giggs, Bell asked with some confusion: "The old man is looking for me?"

Giggs smiled and nodded.

Bell pondered for a moment, closed the car door again, and walked to Ferguson's office with Giggs.

He roughly knew what Ferguson was looking for.

………………

A few minutes later, in Ferguson's office, Ferguson, Santoku and Bell sat on the sofa.

Bell looked at Ferguson, touched his head, and said sheepishly: "Actually, you don't need to ask my opinion."

Ferguson looked at Bell with a smile and said nothing, but he was cursing in his heart. You guys say this every time, but when have you been really polite? Moreover, if you really didn't care about the team's transfer, would you have requested that the team's transfer requirement be added to the contract extension?

Santoku also smiled, shook his head and said: "Okay Gareth, just for us, don't pretend to be embarrassed. Maybe you have been thinking about the unfinished things in the summer. This is ours You should take a look at the transfer targets listed by the scouts before making any comments."

In the summer, Manchester United did almost nothing in the transfer market. Instead, they sold Sneijder. When the transfer window closed, Sandoko once talked to Bell about related matters and said that he would continue to strengthen the team during the winter transfer.

Now, he is fulfilling his original promise.

Bell took the information handed over by Santoku. This information was Manchester United's scouting department's analysis of some outstanding defenders in the transfer market, as well as a feasibility report on transferring to Manchester United.

Bell is naturally very concerned about the team's transfer, after all, it is related to the team's combat effectiveness. Especially today's Manchester United defense is really a trap. After 20 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United has only kept five clean sheets.

Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra, who were once the top defenders in Europe and even the world, have almost become colanders, while the brothers Evans, Smalling and Da Silva have never shown the strength they expected. And Phil Jones, not to mention.

Many times, Manchester United even have to rely on two frontcourt players, Valencia and Ashley Young, to serve as defenders.

Originally, Bell thought that this season, after he had the five-star skill of Leader's Heart, the team's defense would improve. Dickey and Ferdinand's form declined.

It's time for Manchester United's defense to make changes!

Ferguson also hopes to introduce a strong defender to partner with Van Dijk, who has performed more stably this season, to do a good job in Manchester United's defense.

Not to mention returning to the peak performance of Vidic and Ferdinand, who only conceded about 20 goals a season, but at least like the last two seasons, they have conceded more than 1 goal per game.

Every game comes with a 0:1 buff for kicking. Who can withstand this?

If Bell's scoring efficiency of more than one goal per game had not made up for this shortcoming of the team, Manchester United might have fallen to the middle of the league standings by this time.

………………

Bell flipped through the information carefully. He was not a professional scout, but as a time-traveler who had memories of many things in this time and space, and he also played against many teams after time-travel, he was not a professional scout for most of the defenders in today's world football. In terms of ability, I still have some B-numbers in my heart.

Manchester United's scouting department is very professional and provides very detailed information, including many game reviews and related videos. Bell took a rough look and found that most of the players included in this list are defenders, and some of them may be transferred to Manchester United.

But what disappoints Bell is that there is no one who is truly reliable.

Of course, Bell's standards may be a bit high. His requirement is to have a relatively stable performance in mainstream European leagues.

However, this is not too high a requirement for Manchester United. If the other teams in the five major leagues cannot have stable performance, then when they come to the more competitive Premier League and the world's number one giant Manchester United, how can we expect them to perform well?

As for those ordinary defenders, it is better not to buy them and make do with what you have now. At least, these guys know the basics, and although it's not great, it's not too bad either.

No matter what, if these people are really replaced by other teams, they will definitely be the main players.

………………

Finally, Bell put down the information in his hands with some disappointment and asked Woodward: "Ed, is that all?"

Santoku nodded and said: "That's all the defenders who are more likely to transfer to the team this winter. Why, there aren't any that you like?"

Bell shook his head and said: "No, if you are considering introducing among these people, I think it is better not to introduce them. It is a waste of money, and there may not be Johnny (Evans) and Phil (Jones). reliable."

San Dezi wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he finally said nothing.

Ferguson laughed and said, "Ed, let me tell you, Gareth has a very good taste. I don't like these people, and he won't like them either."

Santoku smiled helplessly and said reluctantly: "Jazz, are your expectations too high? I think some of these players are pretty good..."

Ferguson immediately said: "That's not bad. As Gareth said, if we really want to bring in these people, it would be better to just use the current staff. At least everyone has a certain level of understanding."

Then, he said to San Dezi: "Okay, Ed, don't make a crying face. I know it's hard to find good defenders now. They are everyone's favorites. Who would give it up under normal circumstances?" Sell? Let's show Gareth the list of midfielders and frontcourts. We can't buy suitable defenders for the time being, so it would be good to strengthen the midfielders and frontcourts."

Santoku nodded and handed Bell two more pieces of information. The top one was for the midfielder, and the bottom one was for the striker.

Bell first looked at the list of midfielders. As soon as he opened it, he was attracted by the list of names on it: Juan Mata, De Bruyne, Matic, Shinji Kagawa...

He looked up at Ferguson and Sandoko and asked: "Chelsea really intend to sell Mata and De Bruyne?"

Santoku nodded and said: "As far as I know, this is for sure. They did not get many performance opportunities under Mourinho, and the players all wanted to leave the team to find other opportunities, and Chelsea this winter There are also a lot of signings, so I also want to sell them to raise funds for the team's signings. What, do you think the team should buy them?"

Bell nodded and said, "Of course, if there is a chance, why not?"
