Midfielder

Lin Yi is now the most attractive commodity in the summer transfer market of the entire European football world, and Mendes has to carefully weigh the future prospects of this kid.

Now the invitations from the Premier League are definitely the most numerous and the most sincere. At least several Premier League giants have expressed their sincerity to Lin Yi.

Manchester United is undoubtedly the most frequent buyer now. Ferguson is determined to rob this magical little guy from Porto, and he almost calls Mendes every day to urge him to make a decision early. The Red Devils have more abundant transfer funds this summer, and the old Sir is willing to spend this money.

Especially after a season in which nothing happened, this old Scottish man wants to restore Manchester United's competitiveness at the competitive level as soon as possible.

It feels bad to have Arsenal and Chelsea step on his head, especially for an old man like Ferguson, he can't tolerate such things.

Eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, ranked only third in the league, and stumbled in the cup competition. This is simply a shameful season for Manchester United.

Not to mention Ferguson was angry, even those Manchester United fans shouted at the end of the season that the club must be ready to start a large-scale recruitment.

After losing Beckham and Stam, those loyal fans of the Red Devils urgently need to find a new spiritual sustenance at Old Trafford.

And the black-haired kid, his crazy performance in that game at Old Trafford, still makes those Red Devils fans remember it.

When Ferguson said he wanted to introduce this kid, many Manchester United fans were waving flags and shouting on the official website to express their support for the old Sir.

The Scottish old man really needs this kind of support, especially after Manchester United fell into a trough, he needs the fans to stand on his side even more.

For a stubborn old man like Ferguson who secretly competes to surpass Liverpool's total number of league championships, he certainly doesn't want to repeat the embarrassment of losing the championship again and again.

It can be said that Manchester United is the first team in the Premier League to launch a transfer attack on Lin Yi, but so far, Ferguson has not been able to completely deal with that kid.

So now, Mendes has almost become the number one person that Ferguson curses the most every day after getting up. As long as this guy doesn't say that he will let Lin Yi come to Manchester United, Ferguson's curse will continue. This old man will never give up if he can't get Lin Yi.

Arsenal has the most complete transfer plan among all the buyers. Wenger's meticulous personality determines that he will plan everything.

This French old man never fights unprepared wars, and this time is no exception. He has considered many details for this transfer.

From Lin Yi's position after joining the Arsenal to guaranteeing his number of appearances in the Premier League, Wenger has made the maximum concessions on these key conditions.

As long as Lin Yi is not seriously injured, Wenger dares to promise Mendes that he will guarantee Lin Yi's playing time. This condition is indeed full of temptation.

Especially for a player who enters a new environment, being able to guarantee playing time is equivalent to giving himself a chance to gain a foothold in the new environment.

I'm afraid that Wenger didn't give such generous treatment when Anelka and Henry first arrived at Arsenal, but this time, Wenger can be said to have made the biggest concession to Lin Yi. Perhaps it was the boy's outstanding performance in the Champions League that left too much impression on Wenger.

And the most attractive condition that Arsenal can offer to Da Costa is that Wenger has listed a list of players who can supplement the goal team.

After losing a large number of powerful players, Porto must also properly supplement its personnel this summer to maintain its dominance in the Portuguese Super League.

Arsenal's ability to provide this group of players who are still in their prime years is undoubtedly a temptation for Mourinho's successor and Da Costa.

In particular, the Italian Del Neri, who has announced that he is ready to replace Mourinho, is more interested in this exchange condition.

For a new environment, Del Neri also needs to have his own foundation, and these Arsenal players are indeed a good choice.

Being able to select some people from the first team of the Premier League to supplement Porto is a practical route for Da Costa and the club.

After all, it is still a bit too extravagant for Porto to spend money to buy those already famous players from the transfer market right now.

However, the personal treatment that Arsenal and Manchester United can provide is obviously inferior to Chelsea. Compared with the wealthy Russians, the biggest advantage of the former two is the accumulated honors of the club, the structure of the entire team, the already formed personnel matching and technical and tactical system.

But in terms of the courage of the money offensive, neither Manchester United nor Arsenal can shake Chelsea's solid Russian boss.

People like Peter Kenyon don't take money as money. While he was talking to Mendes about the treatment of Lin Yi, he continued to acquire.

While Manchester United and Arsenal were still struggling to figure out how to deal with Lin Yi, Peter Kenyon had already taken the lead in setting off another wave of transfers in the Premier League.

While many clubs were holding their money and watching, Chelsea's acquisition trend came again, and this time they were more fierce than last season.

Peter Kenyon is definitely a standard buyer who spends big money to buy stars. This time, his spending was still shockingly generous.

Without hesitation, they spent 18 million euros to rob Robben, the "Dutch Little Flying Man" that Ferguson had long been eyeing, from PSV Eindhoven. This made the old Sir Alex furious. He almost cursed Peter Kenyon's ancestors in front of those reporters. This time Ferguson was tricked again.

The old Sir Alex was still bargaining with PSV Eindhoven, but Chelsea just intervened and pried Robben away from Manchester United.

Obviously, Peter Kenyon has a very clear idea about the players that Manchester United has taken a fancy to in the past two years. He just wants to grab the meat in Manchester United's hands.

This time is no exception. It is just relying on the money offensive to impress the Dutch. After all, the difference of two million pounds in annual salary is really not small.

In terms of transfer fees, Chelsea is also much more generous than Manchester United. Peter Kenyon dared to pay nearly 5 million euros more in transfer fees than Ferguson.

PSV Eindhoven is not interested in the question of who is the boss of the Premier League. Anyway, they are all selling people, so why not sell the one with a higher bid? This is the market.

Everything is based on economic interests. The role played by PSV at this time is a pure businessman, absolutely not talking about friendship.

This made the old Sir Alex Ferguson's idea of ​​adding another sharp blade to the frontcourt offensive combination completely impossible. His most optimistic winger was robbed overnight.

And this plundering behavior allowed Chelsea to achieve its own left and right wings. Robben plus Duff, what a terrifying wing offensive combination.

Ferguson seems to have begun to foresee the ambitions of these Londoners next season. This is a naked covetousness for the league championship.

Peter Kenyon's action is not just a simple one. After snatching Robben from his old club, he waved the check again.

Peter Kenyon signed Drogba from Marseille for 32 million euros. He stepped on Moratti's shoulders and pushed the 2004 transfer list up a big step.

Many people may think that Moratti's spending 30 million euros to buy Adriano is crazy, so this time's acquisition of Drogba seems more like something that only a madman can do, after all, the Ivorian is not as famous as Adriano so far.

But it doesn't matter, Peter Kenyon dares to spend so much money to buy an African elephant who was born as a defender, and he doesn't seem to care at all.

When Chelsea paid the money, they didn't hesitate at all. Almost as soon as Marseille called out the transfer price, they immediately accepted it.

Originally, the French were going to use this price war to scare off those teams that coveted Drogba, but Chelsea didn't give them a chance at all.

You dare to bid 32 million euros? OK, no problem, take it! Peter Kenyon has the confidence now, as long as you have the price, I dare to buy it!

Chelsea is not afraid of you calling out a sky-high price now, what they are afraid of is that you don't put a price on the players at all. Players who can't be bought with money are annoying, just like Kaka of AC Milan and Henry of Arsenal, as well as Ashley Cole and Zidane, who are all declared by various clubs as not for sale.

Peter Kenyon has not launched an offensive against them, but Chelsea is not so attractive to these superstars now.

Especially for people like Zidane who have already achieved success, they are more concerned about their image, rather than the checkbooks waved by Chelsea people.

For them, the salary gap cannot be the reason for their transfer, and this kind of money-spending behavior is useless to them.

Chelsea's way of buying players is pure money-spending, and the Russian boss also likes this method because it will expose him more in front of the camera.

He is not afraid of spending these tens of millions, anyway, Abramovich has already planned to spend hundreds of millions on Chelsea, and this little money is nothing to him.

Now he is so blatantly snatching people, money, and territory under the noses of all opponents. Next season, he will also snatch the championship trophy.

Although famous coaches such as Ferguson and Wenger have affirmed Lin Yi's ability, there are still many voices of opposition. At least those local media in England are not so optimistic about Lin Yi's prospects in England. Their reason is actually very simple, that is, Lin Yi's small body confrontation ability.

As the Times said when studying the transfer market this summer, Lin Yi's physical condition may not necessarily adapt to the confrontation in the Premier League.

Although Lin Yi's performance in the Champions League and the Portuguese Super League is very eye-catching, it is just like those South American players who often become very depressed after arriving in England.

Lin Yi is likely to lose his technical advantages in the case of high-speed confrontation, thus becoming worthless or even useless.

This kind of example is not unheard of. In a league like the Premier League, there are indeed few South American players who can make a big splash. The creed here is strength.

The most favorite game mode of English fans is the big-open attack and the desperate attack on the opponent. Technical flow is not popular here.

Not only did the Times comment on this, but even the BBC and the Guardian also specifically elaborated on their views on Lin Yi in their columns. These columnists all locked the future of the little guy in Spain, perhaps it is more suitable for Lin Yi's style of play.

Especially the recent frequent acquisitions of stars by Barcelona and Real Madrid have made this rumor closer to the truth, and neither team has refuted their approach to Lin Yi. Regardless of the future of that kid, many people are not optimistic about Lin Yi's landing in the Premier League.

Regarding the concerns of those reporters, Mendes has also considered that the Premier League may be the one with the highest physical requirements among the five major leagues.

The strong confrontation at such a high speed is a very strong test for the quality of the players themselves, especially for technical players, the requirements are higher.

Players like Reyes cannot play to their original level in the Premier League because he is really not used to this kind of strong confrontation at a high speed.

Lin Yi's physical fitness is not much better than that of the Spaniard, and he is not even as strong as the other party, but Mendes's concerns were quickly dispelled by a test report from Faria. According to Faria, Lin Yi's body is absolutely fine.

Faria, who specializes in physical training, has done a detailed study of Lin Yi's physical development and bone growth over the past season.

Although the kid is still in the growth stage, his bone strength and physical endurance are obviously better than other children of the same age.

Especially Lin Yi's potential in endurance, just like the training that kid received this season, has completely exceeded his physical endurance.

But it was not until the end of the season that the kid's muscle fatigue broke out. If it was someone else who received training, he might have collapsed long ago.

As long as there is a reasonable set of training steps, it is not a problem for the kid to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. Moreover, his body center of gravity is very low, so he is not so disadvantaged in physical confrontation. In addition, the most important thing is that this kid has such a fierceness in the game, and he rarely avoids confrontation.

Just like in his game with Manchester United, Keane, who is considered a tough guy in the Premier League, did not take advantage when he met Lin Yi.

And Lin Yi is very smart. He knows how to use his advantages and does not blindly entangle with his opponents in physical confrontation.

Compared to the rough and careless playing style of those Englishmen, if Lin Yi has no physical problems, he is likely to become more sharp on the field.

Faria also dared to guarantee with Mendes that as long as he was given two months, he would make the boy stronger and reach a new level in confrontation ability. However, when Mendes heard this, he felt that Faria was treating Lin Yi as a fresh test subject.

Otherwise, he really couldn't explain why Faria looked at him with bright eyes when Lin Yi returned to the team after being injured before the Champions League final.

"That crazy guy in physical training must have taken a fancy to the boy's tenacity during recovery training. Well, he is really a perfect test subject."

Mendes is now quite melancholy about the group of people around him, because he found that there is no normal person except himself.

But this time Mendes is less worried about Lin Yi's adaptability. In addition, he never doubted Lin Yi's technical ability.

Just like Wenger said, if we discuss it purely on the technical level, Lin Yi's technical level even exceeds that of many technical geniuses in Brazil.

In response to the speculation and conjecture of the media, Faria responded with one sentence, "If the mouths of reporters can be trusted, then what is the use of the police?"

That is a group of people who often make trouble for no reason. If you only listen to what they say, then there are probably not many things in this world that can be trusted.

With such a guarantee, Mendes can ignore the groundless speculation of those reporters as much as he can, at least those people are not as reliable as what Faria said.

However, this summer is not all good news for Lin Yi. In addition to the wave he has set off in the transfer market, it may be an irreparable regret for him that he may not have the opportunity to participate in the European Championships. After all, the stubborn Brazilian old man did not bring Lin Yi with him at the last moment.

Scolari can use a very high-sounding explanation to the outside world, because Lin Yi has not been running-in with the team due to illness and cannot produce a good chemical reaction.

Instead of choosing a newcomer, it is better to choose a player who is familiar with the team. In such a large-scale event, stability is the overriding factor.

This statement sounds like there is no loophole, but those Porto reporters are not so tolerant. In their opinion, Scolari's rejection of Lin Yi is more out of revenge, because when he first named Lin Yi, Porto did not release him, which damaged his authority.

Especially Mourinho's tough attitude angered him, so this time he did not use Lin Yi, which was a response to Mourinho's tough response.

Because Porto reporters only need a simple example to deny the basis for Lin Yi's lack of running-in. Don't forget how many Porto people there are in the national team, Deco, Cavalu, Costinha, Ferreira, Maniche, Bosingwa, these players and Lin Yi have no lack of tacit understanding.

And Simao and others, when Lin Yi played for Benfica, they also cooperated with Lin Yi. Lack of running-in is really a laughable reason.

But when the big game is approaching, the Portuguese Football Association still has to maintain Scolari's authority, although they have also communicated with the old man privately.

But for this stubborn old man who dared to reject even Romario and others, it is difficult to change what he has determined.

Although he did not fail to hear Porto's roar, Scolari's tough character has determined that Lin Yi is destined to say goodbye to the European Championship.

This decision made Lin Yi very helpless to accept. Although he did not want to miss such a big opportunity, now it is already a done deal.

It's just that Scolari gave up Lin Yi like this. For the Portuguese team, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. . .

(Recently, AI's performance in Turkey has been getting better and better. It seems that in this kind of league, AI is still the boss, haha...)
