Subsequently, the media also figured out Modric's transfer fee, about 25 million euros, which is not low for a young midfielder.

Just when Modric joined Manchester City, Chelsea, who was thought to have used money to stir up trouble in the transfer market a few seasons ago, finally took action. Chelsea once again set their sights on the Portuguese team. This time they were interested in Portuguese defender Bosinwa. The official website of Chelsea has issued an announcement that Bosinwa joined for 20.5 million euros, and his arrival is expected to solve the "right back pain" that has plagued the Blues for many years.

Before Bosingwa came to Chelsea, Deco had also arrived at Stamford Bridge and defected to his former mentor Scolari.

According to the English media, Bosingwa should have been the best order for Manchester City, but unfortunately, the player himself looked down on Manchester City at all, but instead resolutely joined Chelsea, whom his mentor coached.

Fleet Street hopes to see Manchester City and Chelsea’s two generations of new and old financial players, or, more precisely, they hope to see Manchester City make a fool of themselves, because if Chelsea, which won two Premier League titles in Mourinho’s era, has begun to recognize the status of this team to many media and fans, then Manchester City is a complete nouveau riche. Many people are happy to see Manchester City lose their defeat and don’t have that much money in their pockets, so they naturally want to see rich people lose their defeat. This is a common problem for people.

Sure enough, after Manchester City won Modric, they announced that their targets were Robinho and Drogba. These two strikers with completely different characteristics must not be left behind.

According to Manchester City Club General Manager Cook, they should focus on ostentatiousness and create a front line that makes everyone feel terrifying.

This high-profile expression of Manchester City attracted a lot of ridicule.

Not to mention Robinho, who has been chased by Manchester City for a long time, another person involved, Drogba, said directly, "I won't go to Manchester City, I will continue to stay in a team that has the strength to compete for the championship."

What I mean is that I still look down on Manchester City.

This made Manchester City general manager Cook make a big joke. Before he could figure out the players' minds, he publicly claimed that he wanted to take down someone and thought that he could use money to get the star they wanted. This is not the first time Manchester City has made such a mistake.

In the media, there was a wave of mockery of Manchester City.

Even Zhang Yang was also affected by the fish. Fleet Street began to talk about how Zhang Yang chose to join Manchester City. Is it really because of money-loving, or is it really because of money-loving, or is it really because of sand?

In such a turbulent and noisy, Manchester City is about to usher in their first game in the 2008/2009 season. This game will also be Zhang Yang's debut at Manchester City.

In this game, Manchester City challenged Aston Villa when he was visiting Birmingham.

When the team arrived in Birmingham, they conducted training at the Villa Park Stadium to adapt to the field.

Outside the training ground, Aston Villa fans held up signs protesting Manchester City. It said, "Football is not something that can be done with money!".

Seeing this brand, many Manchester City players were a little amused. Manchester City is rich now, but it seems that because of this money factor, it has become a thorn in the eyes of many teams and fans. There is no reason, and there is no so-called grudge. It just depends on you being unhappy. Who told you to have so much money?!

Zhang Yang was also happy when he saw this brand. Yes, football cannot be done with money, but it is absolutely impossible without money.

While training on the field, Manchester City coach Mark Hughes seemed to be too careful. He did not arrange any tactical training, but only conducted simple warm-up training, as well as some set-piece penalty and practice.

No, Mark Hughes is guarding against the "spy" from Aston Villa. He knows that there must be Aston Villa people staring at him in a corner of the court so that he will not show the real thing on the enemy's territory.

Speaking of which, Mark Hughes is under great pressure now. Manchester City's first debut in the new season, Manchester City club executives have issued a kill order. Manchester City recruits players this summer. Needless to say, powerful stars such as Wright Phillips, Kompany, Ben Haim, and Zabaleta have also joined. There is also a midfield star Modric who has been competed for by many giants. Of course, the most heavyweight is Zhang Yang's transfer.

Someone has done some calculations for Manchester City, and the transfer investment of these players alone has reached 120 million pounds! Among them, Zhang Yang gave him 75 million pounds!

Manchester City’s investment so far this summer is equivalent to Arsenal’s investment in four seasons!

Against such a high investment, Manchester City is also particularly eye-catching. It is conceivable that Manchester City's first game of the new season is even more eye-catching.

And to be honest, except for Manchester City fans who expect their team to defeat their opponents and win a good start in the new season, I'm afraid more people are waiting to see Manchester City lose and watch jokes.

It is very common to frighten the rich in thought.

Therefore, this also puts great pressure on Mark Hughes. A normal league game was played by Mark Hughes as the Champions League final, although this person has not even led the team to experience the final of the England League Cup.

The only thing that comforted Mark Hughes was that Zhang Yang showed good form in training. This seemed to add some confidence to Mark Hughes.

After the training, the media asked to interview Manchester City players, Mark Hughes, who was the first to refuse all interviews, and he did not want the players to be harassed too much.

However, Manchester City Club has communicated with Mark Hughes for a long time, hoping that Mark Hughes can support the team's publicity work and arrange for interviews by important players. Manchester City's debut goal in the new season has attracted much attention, and this is also considered by the club to take advantage of the opportunity to hype.

Mark Hughes naturally knows who the club is referring to. Now the whole of England is talking about Manchester City's new season debut. To be precise, they all want to see Zhang Yang's debut.

After the training, Zhang Yang accepted an interview with the media in a public area.

"Aston Villa is a very strong opponent... I know this team is very energetic and strong. Moreover, we are playing away, so this game will be more difficult." Zhang Yang was very modest at the beginning and sang praises to Aston Villa. This made the reporters who had interviews before, or were shocked by Zhang Yang's reporters whom Zhang Yang thought they knew better. After Zhang Yang came to the Premier League, they were very happy. On the one hand, because of Zhang Yang's fame, and on the other hand, they knew Zhang Yang's perverse personality. Such a player, and a young and energetic superstar, how could he be honest? It would definitely not be considered a troublesome? This is a blessing for Fleet Street.

However, I didn't expect that Zhang Yang would be so modest when asked about his debut opponent Aston Villa in an interview. Is this still Zhang Yang?

Zhang Yang looked at the surprised expressions of these reporters and curled his lips. He naturally knew what these reporters were surprised. He and Aston Villa had no grudges in the past, but they were not stupid enough to make enemies everywhere for nothing... Of course, they said something nice.

Many media muttered below: "When did Zhang Yang become so humble?"

"Yes, is this still a flamboyant?"

"After coming to the Premier League, should you show off your personality?"

Zhang Yang seemed to want to show kindness to Aston Villa. But the Birmingham media didn't seem to be planning to give him this opportunity. They repeatedly asked Zhang Yang if he was nervous about his debut? If there was no goal, what would you do if Manchester City lost to Aston Villa, and all kinds of things.

"Have you ever thought that the first game will always be a little difficult, Mr. Zhang Yang?"

"I respect any opponent very much because I know that they will work hard and even work hard in the game. This requires us to play very seriously. Well, only by taking the game seriously can we get good results..." After saying this, it seems like a lot of sentences, but after all, they are all unnutritional words, Zhang Yang asked the reporter with a smile, "Now, do you understand what I mean?"

The Birmingham reporter was stunned by Zhang Yang's words. He nodded first, shook his head, and continued to ask, "What do you mean is that you don't value the result of this game, it's just a process?"

After this person realized that he was almost surrounded by it, he continued to stimulate Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang sighed in his heart, why do they seem to be unhappy if they want to be an honest person, not want to get angry, and want to study philosophy with them?

So he stared at the reporter who asked the question for a while, and his eyes slowly became cold. The reporters were all expecting Zhang Yang to suddenly slap the table and turn against him, or speak wildly, so that there would be a good show.

Sure enough, Zhang Yang did not disappoint them. He said coldly, "I value the 'first time' very much, so in this game, I want to score goals and help the team win. Well, this is what you always want to listen to, you are really my soulmate."

After saying this, he snorted coldly, turned around and left, waved his hand without looking back at the call behind him, as if he was waving a group of flies.

As Zhang Yang said, his answer satisfied the reporters, and this is what they were waiting for.

So, on the same day, all the newspapers in Birmingham were exaggerating a meaning, that is, Zhang Yang thought that if he was sure to take Aston Villa, the man said that he would definitely score a goal and Manchester City would definitely win!

"Birmingham Man" also represents the media in Birmingham, and is very passionate about his work, and appeals to Aston Villa fans: Are we just watching this person so rampant? Guys, go to Villa Park Stadium, go there, come on our team and see how they beat Zhang Yang and Manchester City's money slaves!

You know, the original attendance rate of the Premier League teams is good. As the media accelerates the hype in Birmingham, the tickets for this game have long been sold out. A ticket for an ordinary seat of 50 pounds was even hyped up to 100 pounds on the black market! Considering that this is just an ordinary Premier League game, this is already very scary.

It is conceivable that the entire Villa Park players will definitely be full by then.

At the press conference before the game, the media also asked Aston Villa's head coach Martin O'Neal, asking him if he was worried that Zhang Yang would show his power at Villa Park Stadium. This question, whether Martin O'Neal said he was afraid or not, could make them hype. If he answered it, then Martin O'Neal would not deserve to be Aston Villa's head coach. There is no reason to be timid before the fight. If he was not afraid, they would start hype. Martin O'Neal already had a way to deal with Zhang Yang.

However, Martin O'Neal was not fooled by the media and replied: "What I want to say is that this is just an ordinary league game, and there is not so much to say. Manchester City has changed a lot this summer, which has brought great variables to the game. We must be cautious."

Martin O'Neal is the representative of the British local coach and is considered one of the most likely candidates for the future head coach of the Three Lions.

Opening Martin O'Neal's coaching resume, you will find that this is really a pretty good coach.

In 1990, Martin O'Neal coached for the first time. At that time, he took over the team Waikonby who was still in the amateur league, and then led the team to two levels in a row within two years and entered the League Two at that time.

Martin O'Neal started his brilliant coaching career at Leicester at the end of 1995. In just half a season, Martin O'Neal led Leicester to advance to the Premier League from the then League One League.

In the second season, Martin O'Neal led Leicester to 9th in the Premier League and won the English League Cup championship that season. In 1998, Leicester won the 10th in the Premier League. In 1999, Leicester won the 10th in the Premier League again. In 2000, Leicester won the English League Cup championship again. These results can be said to be the most brilliant page in the history of the entire club for a weak team who has upgraded from the League One to the Premier League.

After leaving Leicester, Martin O'Neal came to the Scottish Super League. He won the Scottish Premier League, the Scottish League Cup and the FA Cup in his first year as a direct Celtics, helping the Celtics break the previous 13-year monopoly of Glasgow Rangers over the Scottish Super League. He then won the 2002 Scottish Super League championship, the 2004 Scottish Super League double championship, and the 2005 Scottish FA Cup championship.

In May 2003, the Celtics even reached the UEFA Cup final, but lost 2-3 to Porto in overtime.

It can be said that after Martin O'Neal became a coach, he performed very well. He was considered by the British media as the best local coach.

Martin O'Neal served as Aston Villa's head coach in 2006, leading the team to a better season than the other season. Aston Villa achieved a good result of 6th place in the Premier League last season. This summer, after Melberg left and Boma was seriously injured, Martin O'Neal immediately added to the defensive position. Kudis Davis officially transferred from West Brom to Villa 8 million pounds. In addition, left and right defenders Shore and Luke Young, plus the Rangers' Spanish central defender Klar, who is worth 7.8 million pounds, both came to the team. In addition, after Carson's loan expiration, Blackburn's American goalkeeper Friedel also came to Villa Park, and Sidwell also joined from Chelsea 5 million pounds.

It can be said that although Aston Villa is not as rich as Manchester City and does not spend money with big money, Martin O'Neal's team building blueprint has long been planned, and he is also constantly improving according to his own intentions and screwing screws for every position. This is not a team that is easy to deal with.

As the game approaches, Manchester City team is attracting attention.

The Guardian uses data to show that the current Manchester City team is different from the past. In their words, at least, on paper, Blue Moon is already a quasi-strong team.

They have made speculations on the starting lineup of Manchester City, and have evaluated the players and bench players in each position, and clearly marked the price of the 'starters' to calculate the strength of this team.

Goalkeeper position: Joe Hart (estimated: 5 million);

After Isaxon left, goalkeeper may become Manchester City's weakness. Although the Swede's performance is average, Hart is only a mid-range distance. Of course, if Schmeichel Jr. can play, then Manchester City will not need to buy people again.

Defensive line: Richards (13 million euros), Kompany (8 million euros), Richard Dunn (10 million euros), Javier Garydo (4 million euros);

Manchester City's defense is obviously not luxurious. Judging from the games before the season, Richards' performance on the right is quite stable, and captain Richard Dunn is more reassuring. In addition, the super monster Kompany, defense in the middle is still OK, but perhaps the left side will become a loophole, Gary will have strong offense and weak defense, and Ball is too old, so he may have to use Ben Haim to play. Of course, in the right back position, veteran Sun Jihai can also play on the court at any time.

Midfield position: Modric (25 million euros), Errano (14 million euros), Zabaleta (8 million euros);

Compared with the dim stars on the defense line, Manchester City's stars are twinkling in midfield. Ellano performed well last season, and Zabaleta is a celebrity in the Argentine Olympics team. Modric is a celebrity in the transfer market this summer. His strength is extraordinary. The midfield composed of the three of them should be reassuring. In addition, on the bench, there are young people like Johnson, Fernandez and Ireland, as well as powerful stars like Petrov.

Forward position: Zhang Yang (13 million euros), Boninov (10 million euros), Wright Phillips (13 million euros)

The total value of the forward line exceeds 126 million, which is the most luxurious place for Manchester City. There is also England's fringe international Vassel on the bench. Of course, don't forget that Robinho may come too.

The Guardian added up the estimated value of Manchester City's main players and found that the value of Manchester City's starting eleven players actually reached a 214 million euro yesterday. This can be said to be a luxurious teacher in the absolute sense. Even Arsenal's starting eleven players are not as valuable as Manchester City, and Liverpool's total value cannot exceed Manchester City.

Therefore, the Guardian said that if we look at the value of the starter, Manchester City will undoubtedly become one of the new BIG4s in the Premier League.

However, the Guardian also pointed out that Zhang Yang alone contributed half of the team's value of this 214 million euros! If Zhang Yang is excluded, Manchester City's strength will be of the highest level in the Premier League.

"Zhang Yang alone is worth half of Manchester City's team... While we are still shocked by the value of this young man, the Premier League in the 2008/2009 season has arrived. Behind the super value, the pressure on this young man must be extremely high. We will wait and see how he will perform in the new season."
