Chapter 301 The old Buddha regretted that he should have spent 100 million to buy Lin Quan!

"Coach, why are you here?"

Lin Quan was still a little surprised when he saw Pellegrini.

"I came to see you and by the way, what are your thoughts on the team's signings this summer?"

Pellegrini did not directly ask Lin Quan whether he wanted to transfer away, but instead tried to test his attitude indirectly.

"The club just needs to recruit players according to its own plan. I don't have any special ideas!"

Lin Quan doesn't know much about the team's transfers, and doesn't want to get involved, so as not to give the outside world the impression that he is overreaching.

As a player, the first responsibility is naturally to play well. It is not a good thing to interfere too much in the club's transfer operations. Mbappe later served as a negative example of this.

"It's okay, just speak freely. By the way, let me tell you about our recruitment ideas this summer."

Pellegrini patiently introduced which players Manchester City might need to introduce this summer.

The defense must be strengthened. Lescott's contract has expired and he has not accepted the club's contract extension.

He wrote on his Twitter: "I am really excited and happy to win the Champions League. I would like to thank everyone at the club. This is a wonderful period in my career and life."

Although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to leave, his refusal to sign the contract extension showed that he had already begun to think about leaving.

Lescott has played for Manchester City for five years, but in the past two seasons he has gradually become a substitute in Manchester City and has not appeared on the field many times in a season. This may be what he is most dissatisfied with.

Now that his contract has expired, if he leaves Manchester City and joins another team for free, he can get a good contract with this favorable condition.

Pellegrini positioned Lescott as an important rotation player and would not promise him a starting position, so he found it difficult to keep Lescott.

A forced melon is not sweet. Since the other party wants to leave, just let him go. Manchester City is not the kind of club without humanity.

In addition to Lescott, substitute goalkeeper Pantilimon also wanted to leave because he did not have many opportunities to play.

Although his contract has not expired, Pellegrini intends to let him go for free.

Pantilimon's strength does not meet Manchester City's requirements, and his mentality is not stable enough. When Pellegrini plans to buy a new main goalkeeper, it will not be good for both parties if he stays in the team.

"For goalkeeper, I plan to bring in one of Navas and Bravo. Bravo seems to have reached an agreement with Barcelona, ​​so it is difficult to buy him, so the most likely candidate is Navas."

"In the midfield, Xavi Garcia also wants to leave. Being left out of the Spanish national team is a big blow to him. He wants to compete for the starting XI in other teams so that he can make a difference in the national team!"

Javi Garcia is not an absolute main player, he can only be regarded as an important rotation player, but unlike other players, he and Lin Quan are both from Spain and are considered a member of the Spanish gang.

If the club wants to sell him, they will have to inform Lin Quan, the boss of the Spanish gang, in advance, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstandings.

Lin Quan nodded. Garcia had already approached him about this matter at the end of the season.

He can understand the other party's thoughts and respect the other party's decisions, so he will not bear any grudges because the club sold Javi Garcia.

"Ahem, Negredo wants to leave too..."

After talking about Xavi Garcia's transfer, Pellegrini added another sentence.

This news really surprised Lin Quan. Negredo has made quite a few appearances for Manchester City, and his performances in the league and the Champions League have been very good.

Lin Quan originally thought that the other party would continue to stay in Manchester City, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to leave, and Negredo did not tell him about this decision.

"Where does he want to go?"

Last season, Negredo played 47 times for Manchester City and scored 23 goals, which is actually a very good scoring efficiency.

If he leaves, it will have a huge impact on Manchester City's forward line.

"He wants to return to La Liga. According to him, he can't stand the cold and wet weather in Manchester."

Pellegrini said with a wry smile, and after hearing his words, Lin Quan, who had originally planned to call Negredo to persuade him, completely gave up the idea.

Alas, the bad weather in Manchester City is really a torture for the Spanish players.

Spain is warm and dry, while England is cold and humid. Spanish players generally feel uncomfortable after suddenly coming to England from Iberia.

Negredo wanted to leave Manchester City just one year after joining the team. Although there must be other reasons, the weather is definitely an important influencing factor.

Forget it, let him leave if he wants to! This summer, as many as seven or eight players will leave Manchester City.

With so many people leaving, the team naturally needs to recruit players to fill the vacancies left by their departure.

Pellegrini plans to buy a backup striker, a backup midfielder, and a main goalkeeper. If Joe Hart is unwilling to stay in the team, he will be put up for sale and a backup goalkeeper will be bought.

There was actually no need for Pellegrini to introduce these signings in such detail, but out of respect for Lin Quan, he introduced all the work he was in charge of or planning.

"As for the defenders, we plan to buy a taller, younger defender to solve the team's problem of defending high balls!"

Navas is not tall enough, which makes Pellegrini a little worried that the team will be bombarded by opponents from high altitude in the new season.

Hearing Pellegrini's request, Lin Quan immediately thought of a person. This was a ruthless man who almost snatched the Ballon d'Or from Messi as a defender! "The Scottish Premier League Celtic team has a young defender named Van Dijk who should meet your requirements!"

"Celtics? I'll keep an eye on them when I have time!"

Pellegrini had never heard of Van Dijk's name, but since Lin Quan recommended him, he would definitely find out more about him.

"Lin, the team's goal for the new season is to defend the Premier League and Champions League titles, but it will be very difficult to achieve these two goals, so we need to keep the main lineup as stable as possible, don't you think?"

In the end, Pellegrini couldn't bear it anymore.

Lin Quan looked up at him and said with a smile:

"Coach, you're not asking me if I will leave Manchester City, are you?"

Seeing that the other party had made his point clear, Pellegrini stopped beating around the bush.

"Yes, you are very important to the team. If you are not in the team, then we will definitely not be able to achieve our goals next season."

With Manchester City’s current tactical play, Pellegrini dare not imagine what Manchester City will become without Lin Quan.

Seeing that Pellegrini's attitude was so frank, Lin Quan didn't intend to beat around the bush with him.

Tell him directly: "Then you and the club can go back and prepare for the new season with peace of mind. I will not leave Manchester City this summer!"

Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief after getting Lin Quan's promise.

But soon I became nervous again because the other party only said that he would not leave this summer, so what about next year?

After sending Pellegrini away, Lin Quan thought for a while and simply issued a statement on social media to completely calm down the transfer storm: "I woke up and found that my private messages exploded. Many friends were asking me where I was going to go in the new season?

Is there any need to ask? Of course I will stay in Manchester City!

See you at Etihad Stadium in the new season!"

He also posted a photo of himself enjoying the collective cheers of the fans after scoring a goal at the Etihad Stadium to show that he is enjoying his time at Manchester City.

The club and Lin Quan himself successively refuted the rumors and made statements, which completely put Manchester City fans at ease.

"I told you, Lin Huang will never leave Manchester City!"

"That's right, unscrupulous media, they don't care about their reputation just for traffic!"

"Phew, now I can finally relax!"

Paris Saint-Germain's offer of 200 million euros really made many Manchester City fans feel nervous. There was no way, the other party offered too much!

Lin Quan's denial disappointed many clubs that were closely following the transfer.

Madrid, Spain.

After receiving the news, Real Madrid President Florentino sighed:

"PSG spent 200 million but still couldn't buy Lin Quan. I'm afraid we won't be able to get him in a short time!"

Manuel Redondo, the chief assistant of the old man, nodded: "On the one hand, Manchester City is unwilling to let him go, but the key is that the player himself does not want to leave, which makes it difficult for any team to poach him!"

This is where Florentino's headache comes from. He sees Lin Quan leading Spain to a huge victory in the World Cup, and his personal performance completely suppresses Ronaldo and Messi.

His value has risen accordingly, and more and more clubs are eyeing him, making it increasingly difficult to get him.

It can be said that as much as the big clubs were envious of Messi before, they are now as envious of Lin Quan.

And because Lin Quan is younger, there are even more clubs that are eyeing him than there were clubs that were eyeing Messi in the past.

Florentino is no exception! When Lin Quan was in Werder Bremen, he admired Lin Quan very much.

Lin Quan's performance in Manchester City last season was perfect, and he even directly shattered Real Madrid's Champions League dream in the Champions League.

This made the old lady hate Lin Quan very much, but at the same time she admired him very much and also felt very regretful.

If Real Madrid had not bought Bale and had made up their mind to bring Lin Quan back to the Bernabeu, they would not have to worry about the core issues of the team in the next ten years.

Unfortunately, out of consideration for Ronaldo's feelings and worried that Lin Quan would not want to join Real Madrid because of Barcelona, ​​although they contacted Lin Quan and his agent, their attitude was not positive enough and their sincerity was not enough, and ultimately they failed to reach an agreement.

If they can show the same sincerity as Manchester City in introducing Lin Quan, then with Real Madrid's status and influence in football, the possibility of attracting Lin Quan to join is very high!

Although Ronaldo is very strong, he is getting older. Born in 1985, he will be 30 years old next year.

After the age of 30, a player's condition will go downhill, which means that in two or three years, Real Madrid will have to consider who will replace Ronaldo.

Players of the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are really hard to find.

There are very few players in football who are capable of reaching this level. Among the current young players, except Lin Quan who has reached this level, the others have a big gap.

Moreover, almost all of these players are already taken. Neymar is at Barcelona and cannot be poached. Gotze is at Bayern and will not leave easily. Hazard is regarded as a treasure by Chelsea and is in high demand.

There is only one James Rodriguez who can compete, but there are many clubs that are interested in him.

Teams such as Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus and others have joined the looting.

Even if Real Madrid gets James Rodriguez, they will still have to pay a heavy price.

Honestly speaking, it would be better to spend 200 million to buy Lin Quan back than to spend hundreds of millions of euros to buy a player who is far inferior to Lin Quan.

Unfortunately, Paris Saint-Germain tried this method and it didn’t work.

Thinking of this, Florentino sighed.

When Bale was bought, the main reason was his combat effectiveness, hoping to use this opportunity to realize Real Madrid's dream of winning the tenth Champions League trophy.

But judging from the actual results, it doesn't seem to be that good.

Even in terms of combat capability, Lin Quan completely crushed Bell, and the two were not even on the same level.

The initial concerns that Lin Quan was too young, lacked fighting power, and had a future full of uncertainty now seem to be completely unnecessary.

If they were given another chance, they would definitely choose to buy Lin Quan without hesitation!

It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.

"I don't know if there is a penalty clause in the contract between Manchester City and Lin Quan. If there is such a clause, maybe we can try to activate it directly next time!"

Real Madrid's sports manager Padesa is not so pessimistic. Just because Lin Quan doesn't want to leave now doesn't mean he doesn't want to leave in the future.

Moreover, his contract with Manchester City will expire one day. As long as Real Madrid can persuade him to join before he renews his contract with Manchester City, Real Madrid will still have a chance to bring him to the Bernabeu.

"It seems not. Lin Quan signed a five-year contract with Manchester City, which will expire in 2018!"

"2018?"

When Florentillo heard this year, he was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously:

"Does our contract with Ronaldo also end in 2018?"

"Yes!"

Real Madrid completed the contract extension with Ronaldo last year. The two sides signed a five-year contract with the contract expiration date being June 2018.

Ronaldo and Lin Quan's contracts expire in the same year. Does this mean they can...

…

After Lin Quan made a clear statement, the outside hype about his transfer gradually disappeared.

People's attention has returned to the World Cup and the transfer news about James Rodriguez.

After Colombia eliminated Uruguay, the French team also defeated Nigeria cleanly with a score of 2:0, becoming the second European team to advance to the quarterfinals.

Next up was France's neighbor, Germany. As one of the favorites to win the World Cup, everyone thought before the game that Germany should be able to easily defeat Algeria.

However, the course of the game was somewhat unexpected. The German team performed poorly, while Algeria played quite well.

After 90 minutes of regular time, the score was still 0:0, and Algeria tenaciously tied with Germany.

After watching the game, German fans felt worried.

Before the game, outsiders who were optimistic about the German team began to re-evaluate the strength of the German team. Given their current state, can they go far in the knockout stage? However, not everyone is worried. Fans of the host Brazil team were very surprised after watching this game.

Brazil and Germany are in the same half of the group. If they successfully make it through the next round, the two teams will meet in the semi-finals.

If Algeria can eliminate Germany, Brazil's chances of advancing to the semi-finals will greatly increase.

Even if Germany managed to make it to the quarterfinals, given the current state of the German team, wouldn't they be slaughtered by Brazil in the semifinals? Although Brazil's process to the quarterfinals was also very difficult, they defeated the Netherlands, the runner-up of the previous World Cup, while Germany faced Algeria, which had never made it to the knockout stage before.

The gap in strength between the two teams is too big. In comparison, the Brazilians feel that the German team is just so-so.

After being dragged into overtime, the German team seemed to be awakened.

Their attack began to become sharp. In the second minute of extra time, Schurrle, who replaced Götze, scored a goal to help the German team take the lead.

18 minutes later, Ozil scored another goal to help Germany secure the victory.

Although Algeria scored a goal in the last minute of extra time, it could not change the outcome of the game.

In the end, with two goals in overtime, the German team struggled to advance to the knockout stage.

Although they won the game, their odds of winning the championship were lowered a lot due to their poor performance in this game.

After the German team, the other teams that came out seemed to be infected by the German team's slump.

Argentina, which was also a favorite to win the championship, was beaten 0:0 by Switzerland, which was not very strong.

If Di Maria hadn't scored a crucial goal in the 118th minute of extra time, Argentina would have been dragged into a penalty shootout.

Messi's performance in this game was very bad, with almost no outstanding performance.

The two main forwards of Argentina still failed to score a goal, continuing the embarrassing record of 0 goals.

Compared with Argentina and Germany, the European Red Devils Belgium performed slightly better.

Facing the not-so-strong American team, they launched a fierce attack at the start, with a total of 37 shots in the game, 27 of which were on target.

With so many shots, the score of this game should be exaggerated, right? However, after 90 minutes, the score on the field was 0:0, and neither team scored a goal.

The score was too outrageous. The audience saw both teams attacking and shooting continuously but they just couldn't score a goal.

Howard, the goalkeeper of the US team, is a well-known nervous person.

When he performs badly, he is extremely bad; when he performs well, he is simply amazing.

It's just like a top laner rolling the dice. If he rolls 9, he becomes invincible.

Howard played like crazy in this game. He made a total of 19 wonderful saves, which made all the Belgian shooters lose their temper.

Under Klinsmann's coaching, the relatively mediocre American team relied on teamwork and discipline to fight Belgium to a draw.

Throughout the game, the US team had several great opportunities, but they were all wasted.

In the 90th minute, Belgium made a key substitution.

They brought on Lukaku, who had performed well for Everton, and this substitution became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the US team.

During the extra time, the US team fell into a physical bottleneck, and after Lukaku came on the court, their defense finally couldn't hold on.

Facing the physically fit and strong Lu, the US team's defenders were simply unable to do anything to him.

In the 93rd minute, Lukaku was running with the ball on the wing and was hit by the opponent's defender. He did not move at all. Instead, the American defender who hit him fell down.

Lukaku seized the opportunity and quickly dribbled into the penalty area. Facing the blocking of the opponent's defender, he cleverly passed the ball to De Bruyne.

There were four defenders in the penalty area, but only two Belgian players.

But after receiving the pass from Lukaku in the penalty area, De Bruyne did not shoot hastily. Instead, he calmly turned around, adjusted his position and aimed at the far corner of the goal.

Howard had no way to deal with this ball and failed to save the goal that decided the fate of the US team.

Ten minutes later, it was De Bruyne again who made a fatal pass, assisting Lukaku to score another goal.

Although the US team scored a goal in the 107th minute, it still failed to change their fate of being eliminated.

In the end, with these two goals, Belgium successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

De Bruyne was awarded the MVP of the game.

The twin stars of Werder Bremen are still shining in the World Cup!

There was a mistake. I misread the schedule of Brazil and Germany. The two teams met in the semi-finals instead of the quarter-finals. It has been corrected 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
