After a season of running-in, Manchester City's main lineup has basically stabilized.

Fertonghen is a team that he joins with Gao Han's expectations, but judging from the pre-season training camp or the performance in the warm-up match, he is still unable to challenge Kompani's main position for the time being, so the embarrassment of Kompani's right kick on the left side may have to continue.

Relatively speaking, Adam Larana, Milner, and Gareth Bale all joined the team as substitutes. Larana was frozen in the middle by Gao Han and tried to play against the front midfielder and central forward one after another. Her performance was relatively average, but she was recognized by Gao Han.

During the pre-season training camp, Gao Han asked the coaching staff to tailor a set of physical intensive training for Larana. On the one hand, he improved his physical fitness, and on the other hand, he hoped that Larana could expand his range of activities and running abilities.

Milner is also a midfielder who can play in the wings and midfielders in many different positions. Gao Han mainly positions him as a substitute for David Silva and Modric, especially in some games, he believes Milner can play a role.

In contrast, Gareth Bale is one of Gao Han's most optimistic players. He has a very fast speed and strong impact, but he doesn't live well enough. However, in the game between Tottenham and Tottenham and Manchester City, he left an extremely deep impression on Gao Han.

The left winger is his best position at the moment, and Gao Han also serves as the substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo, but Gao Han also consciously arranged for him to play the right winger, but the effect is rather miserable and not ideal.

Although the right winger failed to play, Gao Han told the Welshman with great certainty when he was talking to Gareth Bale in private that he had to strengthen his right foot and work hard to adapt to the right side playing style, which would be of great help to him.

As for Harry Kane and Sterling, they are more training with the team as young players.

Young players of their age can gain extremely valuable experience in training with many world-class superstars. Therefore, both young players worked very hard, which left a deep impression on Gao Han, promising to allow them to continue to stay in the first team for training in the new season and give them appropriate opportunities to compete.

During the training camp in Dublin, Gao Han mainly focused on further improving the main lineup and running in the substitute lineup.

Last season, the team fought in a single line and only played domestic competitions. The pressure on the game was not great, but this season is different. Manchester City also had to compete in the Champions League, and rotation was a problem that must be solved. Therefore, Gao Han and the coaching team both worked in the team's rotation tactics in the pre-season training to ensure the competitiveness of multi-line combat in the new season.

This made Manchester City win all three warm-up matches in Dublin, but they didn't play well.

However, with the lessons learned from the past, no one dares to doubt Gao Han's team anymore.

After finishing the training camp in Dublin, the team returned to Manchester, but soon set off for the Middle East.

Manchester City's two warm-up matches in the Middle East were arranged in Abu Dhabi, one of which was Abu Dhabi's home team. Manchester City had an overwhelming advantage in strength, beating their opponents five to zero, while the opponent in the second game came from Turkey's Besiktas.

Interestingly, this is Guti's first game since he switched to the Turkish League.

As a result, Manchester City defeated Besiktas 2-0 with the goals of Benzema and Kompani, and Kompani was also elected as the best player in the game, winning Gao Han's recognition for his performance.

He could feel that with the arrival of his Belgian compatriot Fertonheng, Kompani felt the pressure of competition, which was a good thing, at least it made the Belgian central defender perform more hard.

However, after the game, Gao Han and Guti met again after a long separation and had another long chat. However, the two sides did not talk about topics such as Real Madrid or Raul, but more about Guti's life in Turkey.

This golden wolf with a somewhat eccentric personality said it was difficult for him to adapt, which made Gao Han smile bitterly.

While Manchester City was busy conducting preseason training and warm-up matches, the European transfer market was not calm either.

The Premier League is still a big signing player in the European summer transfer market, but all teams have not invested much.

Arsenal struggled to keep the fourth place in the league last season, which caused panic among the Gunners. Wenger began to invest heavily this summer, introducing Chamac from Bordeaux, Coscheerny from Lorient, Squillac from Sevilla, and Wellington Silva from Fluminense, all of which were targeting the team's weaknesses.

But these players only spent about 20 million pounds in total, and Arsenal took back 6.5 million pounds when they sent forward Da Silva to the Donetsk miners, which made Arsenal's net investment only more than 13 million pounds.

As Arsenal's mortal enemy, Tottenham Hotspur in North London missed fourth place last season. This season, he made up his mind to continue his efforts, and brought in Korluca from Manchester City, Sandro from Brazil International, and Van der Fate from Real Madrid.

But because of sending Gareth Bale and Harry Kane away, Tottenham's overall transfer expenditure was about 17 million pounds, surpassing Arsenal and ranking second in the Premier League.

Liverpool missed the Champions League qualification last season and fired head coach Benitez. However, after the new coach Hodgson took office, the management did not increase signings, but retained captain Gerrard. The same is true for Chelsea. It was just a small fight and repair, and the entry and exit of the two teams was basically the same.

Relatively speaking, Manchester United's signing strength is quite strong. Ferguson first introduced Smarin from Fulham and forward Hernandez from Guadalajara, Mexico. The two players spent a total of more than 16 million pounds to Manchester United.

But at the same time, Manchester United also sent goalkeeper Ben Foster for 6.5 million pounds, and sent Tosic to CSKA Moscow for 8.5 million pounds, and recovered 15 million pounds for two transfers.

Originally, Manchester United planned to introduce Benfica's Di Maria, but was taken a step ahead by Real Madrid. Ferguson also expressed regret for this, but he said that the team is still actively operating Mkhitaryan's transfer.

Since July, the Chinatown player has been linked with Manchester United. Transfer rumors have been endless, but negotiations have been intermittent, especially when August when everyone began to have no hope for this transfer, Manchester United suddenly announced that the team has successfully introduced Mkhitaryan from Chinatown.

This transfer deal was quickly recognized by Chinatown.

On the official website, Twitter and Chinatown also pushed a notice on its official website, Twitter and Weibo, officially announcing that Mkhitaryan had transferred to Manchester United for 36 million pounds, equivalent to 40 million euros.

This transfer transaction completely surpassed Di Maria and Kolarov, and became the transfer bidder of European football this summer, which surprised everyone in the world. No one expected that Mkhitaryan's transfer fee would be as high as 40 million euros.

But while announcing Mkhitaryan's transfer, Ferguson was very happy to announce that he was very satisfied. He believed that Mkhitaryan was the creative player needed by Manchester United, and he believed that this player could play a key role in Manchester United.

"The production of Gao Han must be a fine product, this is what you told me." Ferguson even joked in a good mood.

However, when analyzing this transfer, many British media also said that Manchester United is not at a disadvantage.

"When Ferguson introduced Anderson from Porto, his net worth was 25 million euros plus 5 million euros. If we consider Mkhitaryan's performance in La Liga and Gao Han's choice, the increase of 10 million euros is not an exaggeration for a 21-year-old young player."

Manchester United also surpassed Manchester City with Mkhitaryan's transfer and became the team with the highest net investment in the Premier League this summer.

Compared with the coldness of the Premier League, the La Liga, which is also the protagonist of the European transfer market, has also encountered a cold situation.

On the one hand, the reform of broadcasting rights has caused a lot of controversy, and everyone is in panic all day long. On the other hand, the poaching of the two major teams has suffered a severe blow.

Barcelona wanted to defeat Arsenal's midfielder Fabregas, and even used various emotional offensives to win the World Cup in Spain. When they returned to the country to celebrate, their teammates Puyol and Pique even took advantage of Fabregas's inattention and put a Barcelona jersey on Fabregas, which caused an uproar all over the world.

When things developed to this point, everyone decided that Fabregas would have to vote for Barcelona.

But at a critical moment, in the general election of Barcelona, ​​the new chairman Rossel defeated Laporta. After being elected, he did not pursue Fabregas strongly. He even publicly expressed his uncertainty about whether Fabregas's team's top priority.

This round of statement undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on this transfer.

So far, Barcelona has only introduced wide player Adriano from Sevilla, and there is no other move in addition to that.

Real Madrid's situation is also worrying.

After introducing Canales, Pedro Leon, Ozil, Di Maria and Kolarov, Real Madrid was ambitious to target Wolfsburg's forward killer Edin Dzeko after failing to pursue Rooney.

Wolfsburg's intention to sell people is also obvious, but the Bundesliga team obviously hopes to take the opportunity to raise the price and strive to sell a better price. Therefore, when facing Real Madrid's offer, Wolfsburg is always close and distant. On the contrary, the party involved, Dzeko, is very much looking forward to joining Real Madrid, and publicly expressed his yearning for the Bernabeu in many interviews.

But just after August, Wolfsburg sports director Diet Heness suddenly said in an interview with the media that the team did not receive any news from Real Madrid.

"Yes, I arrived in Madrid not long ago and met with Chairman Florentino and General Manager Bardano, but we never mentioned Dzeko's transfer, so I will not comment on the rumors."

As for the rumors outside, Wolfburg's asking for Dzeko was too high, and Hones said that this was not the case at all.

"In fact, this has never been a secret. There are too many teams interested in Dzeko. I believe that I don't need to say which teams are available. Everyone knows it. Dzeko's value has always been at the 60 million euros and has not changed. We all think that he is the top scorer in Europe and should have a value that matches him."

Once the interview with Hones was released, it was immediately in a thrilling European football scene.

Buy Dzeko for 60 million euros?

It's really an incredible deal.

As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Ass even criticized Wolfsburg's actions on the spot, believing that they regarded Dzeko as a carrot and hung it in front of Real Madrid, constantly luring Real Madrid into their trap. Such transfer negotiations lacked sincerity at all.

But now it is August, and the European summer transfer market is getting closer and closer, and Real Madrid is no longer available to choose.

It was also at this time that Gao Han led the team back to Manchester from the Middle East and ushered in the Community Shield Cup in the new season.
