Chapter 623: Azure and other smoke and rain

Busby Avenue.
Manchester United Club.
The lighting of the office of the new sports director has lasted for three consecutive nights until night.
From time to time there are pizza takeaways in and out.
But Braida almost never showed up.
Outside Manchester United's headquarters, waiting for many media reporters.
When the transfer period arrives, large sports media will always send reporters to wait here.
With Manchester United slipping from its peak in recent years, Busby Street has become a bit colder than before. However, after Manchester United's explosively imported Euro 150 million Champions League champion Chu Ge from Real Madrid at a world-recording price of 150 million euros last year, and the red magic godfather Ferguson announced his return, this place has once again become the entire England, and even the world's football The place.
This year is the first year after Manchester United won the championship again after many years.
The number of reporters who came here to wait for the news has increased a lot compared to previous years.
Everyone is looking forward to Manchester United's performance in the transfer market this year.
However, to the disappointment of the reporters, apart from the replacement of the sports director, so far, they have not got any big news from here.
The only "Van Dijk joined Manchester United in 24 hours" that was revealed was vandalized by Van Dijk's agent.
Don't say it was 24 hours, 48 ​​hours passed, the Dutchman did not appear at Manchester Airport, nor did his agent appear on Busby Street.
For this reason, the reporter who wrote the news has been scolded as Xiang on the Internet.
What is "Manchester, the price must be raised", "A player who has not been overpriced by Manchester United is not a good player", "24 hours and 24 hours, the stars who disappeared in the medical examination room in those years", "lei, lei, rule The Manchester United in the transfer market, he was lei again "... wait,
Was made into a paragraph by fans, became a hot topic in the news, swept through social networks, and became a fan of fans laughing at reporters.
……
Braida sat in his office.
He has been working continuously for three days.
Apart from a short break, he spends most of his time at work.
Just came to Manchester United, Braida faced an unfamiliar and challenging environment.
In the season just passed, Manchester United became the champion of the Premier League.
This is a very brilliant achievement.
And for Braida, the newly appointed manager of Manchester United, the glorious results before taking office will inevitably become a huge challenge for his work this year.
Can Manchester United continue to win the championship.
The new season's Champions League, as the Premier League champion Manchester United, can make a difference.
Manchester United supporters are waiting for Manchester United to give a more successful performance than last season, and these expectations are really pressing on Braida, becoming the pressure and motivation in his work.
"Goal goalkeeper De Gea, central defender Manolas, midfielder Kanterga Pogba, striker Chu Ge, this central axis is the key to Manchester United's success last season."
"De Gea, Manoras and Kanter provide a stable defense, Pogba provides the connection and rhythm control from midfield and backcourt to frontcourt, Chu Ge provides the frontcourt response, imagination, and most importantly, stable Goal efficiency. "
After a few days of work, Braida has a clearer understanding of Manchester United's lineup.
At the same time, he also has a better understanding of the team's shortcomings.
"The current team's biggest flaw is that in addition to Manolas, the guard line also lacks a core-level central defender. Smalling is okay, but not enough."
"With Kanter and Pogba in the midfield, the structure is relatively stable, but there is room for further improvement."
"The frontline problem is also very big, almost all the pressure is mainly concentrated on Chu Ge alone."
"Rashford and Marshall can play well in some games, but in the face of strong opponents, strong confrontation and pressure, their condition is not stable enough. Ibrahimovic is still recovering from injury and may leave the team after the injury. The is great, Rooney has left the team. "
"If Chu Ge is not effectively supplemented, once Chu Ge is injured or absent or fluctuates, Manchester United's attack power will be greatly reduced, which will affect the stability of the entire team's performance."
"Therefore, the team's current recruitment focus should be concentrated on the center defender and forward."
"If there are suitable candidates in other positions, such as full-backs, especially excellent full-backs with offensive ability; and organized midfielders, etc., can also be considered."
Braida exhaled.
These days, he spent a lot of time familiarizing himself with the team's lineup.
To this end, he read a lot of Manchester United's game video last season, as well as the coaching staff to provide player reports.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself knows the other, and there is no battle.
The first job is to be a confidant.
After fully understanding the team's lineup, Braida was surprised to find that he had a lot of work.
The current Manchester United team, although they won the Premier League championship last season and the UEFA Cup champion, but the team lineup is actually not very reasonable.
In many positions, strong supplements are needed.
The champions of last season are largely due to the excellent performance of the two players of Kanter and Chu Ge in the historical level, the steady output of one after the other, and the adjustment of the coach Ferguson in key games. This has created the team's glory in the past year.
Such brilliant achievements are almost impossible to simply copy.
Manchester United want to continue the success of last season, they must insist on continuing to rebuild, continue to introduce core players in key positions.
Rather than a simple seam compensation.
Braida read the previous scout report and also checked the transfer goal that Manchester United was trying to contact before he arrived.
In his most concerned selection of central defenders and forwards, the goals recommended by the Manchester United scouting department are Lindelof and Lukaku.
The former plays for Benfica in Portugal, the latter is a player of the Everton Club in the Premier League.
Both players are outstanding.
Especially Lukaku.
Little Warcraft played almost the best season of his career in Everton last season.
Manchester United scouts believe that if he can join Manchester United, he will be a good substitute for Swede Ibrahimovic and become Manchester United's offensive fulcrum in the frontcourt, reducing Chu's defensive pressure.
Therefore, they strongly recommend the team to sign him.
In addition, Tottenham Belgian defender Alderweireld, Arsenal Sanchez and other players are also highly recommended transfer goals for the Manchester United scouting department.
However, Braida and their opinions are different.
When he was in Milan, Gagliari was in charge of transfer negotiations, while Braida was in charge of selecting players.
In selecting players, Braida has a unique vision.
He was out of the crowd and signed players such as Rijkaard, Shevchenko and other players, all of which proved his talent in selecting players. The direct signing of Kaka for a short period of time without thinking about it shows his courage in signing a player.
In the position of central defender, he signed the last world-class central defender for Milan, Tiago Silva.
This player also brought Milan their last league trophy.
Milan's decline has nothing to do with Silva's departure.
After arriving at Manchester United, Braida watched many videos of Lindelov.
This defender has great potential, but it is not enough to impress him.
Lindlov may be able to grow into a great central defender, but Manchester United needs a plug-and-play core central defender, not a potential stock.
To be honest, in terms of potential stocks, Braida is more optimistic about Manchester United ’s opponent in the Europa League final last season. Manchester United ’s long-term scouts focus on the goal. Ajax ’s 17-year-old central defender Delhi Hutt.
Brijda even saw the shadow of the legendary center defender, in Derecht.
But neither Lindelof nor Dericht should be Manchester United ’s current first choice.
What Braida really wants is Van Dijk!
Van Dijk is a tall man and has a strong defensive ability on his own. The frontal defense is almost second to none in the Premier League. What's even more rare is that this tall central defender is not as bulky as an ordinary Premier League guard. He not only has a good defensive selection, but also has a fast playback speed. There are almost no obvious defensive shortcomings.
Braida has no doubt that if Van Dijk is given a large enough stage, the Dutch will grow into a central defender of the same level as Thiago Silva.
He and Manolas' guard combination will become Manchester's most stable back gate.
After choosing the first goal for the transfer, Braida, just like he used to, found Southampton and Van Dijk's agents as soon as possible.
Southampton has a high asking price.
With Liverpool's early entry, Southampton hardly accepts any bargaining.
This is no surprise to Braida ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A good player should be worth a lot.
And it was Van Dijk ’s agent who really got stuck.
The agent seems to have reached a certain agreement with Liverpool, he is not very interested in Manchester United's offer.
Then,
Does Manchester United have no chance?
Braida has been thinking about this issue.
Liverpool has already submitted a quotation, and Van Dijk ’s brokers also accept and are willing to accept their quotation, so the question is, why is their transaction not completed?
Van Dijk is still in the transfer market.
He is not a Liverpool player.
Him,
Seems to hesitate something.
Braida decided to read another interview that Van Dijk accepted in the past year, looking for clues from the clues of the news and finding the key to breaking the puzzle.
Maybe he still has a chance to take the Dutchman to Manchester.
At the same time.
Braida also noticed another news.
French media reported that Paris Saint-Germain has reached an agreement with Monaco's new star Mbappé.
It seems that the Ligue 1 championship team last season will be dismantled.
And among them the most shining star genius Mbappe, will soon become a member of Greater Paris.
Interesting thing, this transfer transaction seems to get everything done, but it has not been announced.
They also seem to be stuck at a certain step. .
The sky blue and other smoke and rain.
