Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The new season is coming.

Now Manchester City has 23 players in the first team.

Goalkeepers Van der Sar, Weaver, Schmeichel Jr., defense Sun Jihai, Dunn, Stam, Uifalusi, Distin, Lescott, Chiellini, Evra and Niklas Jensen, midfielders Makelele, Essien, Barton, Dacourt, front court Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Wright-Phillips, Robben, Ronaldinho, Milner, striker Eto'o.

Undoubtedly, the forward line has only Eto'o, which is a bit thin.

So, Yang Luo's next goal is the striker.

Yang Luo and Van Gaal have discussed the selection of strikers.

Van Gaal wanted a striker with a completely different style from Eto'o to provide more tactical changes, so Yang Luo first thought of the other African duo, Didier Drogba.

But Drogba had signed a transfer contract with Marseille some time ago, so his transfer is not realistic now.

Van Gaal also proposed to bring his old player Kluivert back to his account, but after careful consideration, he thought that Kluivert had already shown signs of decline at this time, so he gave up this option.

So, Yang Luo set his sights on another person.

This person is a typical representative of late bloomers, but since he got the hang of it, he immediately became a top striker.

He even won the Serie A Golden Boot at the age of 38, which can be said to be a career of accumulation and long aftertaste.

He is the Italian striker Luca Toni.

He is tall and has solid basic skills, and has rich experience as a standing striker. The only thing that worries Yang Luo is that Toni had a very unhappy relationship with Van Gaal at Bayern, and it is unknown whether the two who met a few years ago will have disagreements.

However, there are no particularly suitable strikers now. Ronaldo, Henry, Sheva, Owen, Raul, Piero, Van Nistelrooy and Inzaghi cannot be poached. Crespo seems not to be adapted to the Premier League. Vieri has been injured frequently. As for Adriano...

So Yang Luo finally set his sights on Luca Toni.

He and Bernstein came to Brescia, Italy.

At this time, Luca Toni had to leave the team after being a meat shield for Roberto Baggio for two seasons.

Because of his knee injury last season, Brescia did not choose to keep him.

Originally, he was going to choose to transfer to Palermo in the Italian Serie B, but the appearance of Manchester City changed everything.

Teacher Tony never thought that a team from the English top league would come to buy him, which made him a little overwhelmed.

However, the temptation to play in the top league still overcame everything, and he decisively chose to join Manchester City.

Even if he is a substitute, so what?

So, Manchester City bought Luca Toni from Brescia for four million pounds. In the new season, he will serve as the team's substitute striker to attack the city for the team.

In this way, the first-team lineup for the new season was determined, a 24-man roster.

Since Manchester City only has domestic competition tasks in the new season, theoretically this lineup is enough.

However, Yang Luo's pace of reinforcement did not stop. He also wanted to buy a young striker for the team in case of emergency.

His goal is an excellent striker aged 18 or below, who can be trained as a youth player in the future.

From the perspective of the household registration book, Rooney is undoubtedly the best, but he has already established a foothold in Everton. Will he come to Manchester City to be the third striker?

Suarez, Lewandowski and Benzema are still young, and it is not realistic to transfer now.

After thinking about it, he thought of Mario Gomez.

This German striker can be said to be a first-class striker who was delayed by injuries. Although he is not the top one, his goal rate is definitely not low.

In the future, he can definitely be a very qualified rotation striker.

And the most important thing is that he is handsome, and he will be a guy who can attract traffic with his face in the future.

So Yang Luo took Bernstein and flew to Stuttgart, Germany.

At this time, Mario Gomez was still a player in the youth training camp, so when Yang Luo told the director of Stuttgart that he wanted to buy him for 5 million pounds, the Stuttgart club agreed without hesitation.

Yang Luo sighed, it’s good to have money, buying people depends purely on money, no need to talk about feelings.

Overall, the success rate is very high.

Just like that, Mario Gomez

Leo Gomez successfully joined Manchester City's youth training camp.

In the new season, he will enter the first team in case of injuries in the team and get a certain chance to play.

In this way, the signings for this season have basically come to an end.

In this summer transfer window, Manchester City bought a total of 13 players, spending a total of 92 million pounds, far exceeding the 100 million euros promised to the fans.

This also greatly supplemented the team's three lines, and the theoretical combat power has been greatly improved.

But the team is now almost all new players, so how to put the team together depends on Van Gaal's skills.

Fortunately, it is just the beginning of July now, and Van Gaal still has more than a month to prepare for the game.

But at this time, Van Gaal made another request to Yang Luo: "We need to upgrade the team's training facilities and youth training facilities to make the players' training more effective."

As a coach who has been in Ajax for nine years, he is simply a master of youth training, so Yang Luo always humbly accepts his suggestions.

So he called San Dezi over: "Mr. Van Gaal said he wants to upgrade the training equipment. See how much it will cost."

When he heard that he had to spend money again, San Dezi's face turned bitter: "My boss, you really don't care about your money... You spent more than 90 million pounds in this transfer window, and now we only have 45 million pounds in cash in our account. But now you have to use it to upgrade the training equipment, and I guess you can't keep this money..."

Yang Luo glared at him: "Money can be earned again, but the training equipment must keep up! The pattern must be opened up!"

He took a look at his stock account again two days ago. NetEase is still setting new highs, so money is really just a number to him.

When he sells all his NetEase stocks in a few months, he will have more than 1 billion US dollars in his hands.

But San Dezi didn't know this. He just felt like crying but had no tears, but he had to choose to obey Yang Luo's instructions again.

Having a boss who loses his family really makes him worry.

Two days later, Manchester City announced that it would upgrade the team's training facilities at a total cost of 10 million pounds.

In this way, Yang Luo has spent another 100 million this summer...
