Manchester City training base, inside the manager's office.

Guardiola turned on the amplification and let Soriano's voice echo through the spacious room.

Arteta listened silently and did not interrupt.

"Josep, listen!"

"There may be something wrong with your third target, I've talked to Bournemouth, and their asking price may have exceeded our expectations!"

"The Dutch defender named Nathan Ake, Bournemouth asking for 60 million euros, I'm afraid this is not in line with our recruitment policy!"

"His valuation is between 40 million and 50 million euros, I want to stay in Bournemouth to continue negotiations!"

"So it may take a little longer, you wait patiently!"

"Well, that's it!"

Toot toot! After hanging up the phone, there was a silence in the office, and after a long time, Tasuke broke the original silence.

Arteta said: "Nathan Ake, Dutch defender, moved to Chelsea youth in 2011, was promoted to the first team in 2013, and after a few years on loan, was bought by Bournemouth in 2017 for €22.8 million!

"Now, he is Bournemouth's main centre-back!"

'I've studied the kid's kicking videos and the style is pretty solid, which is great for a centre-back, but what I don't understand is that we already have a lot of centre-backs.

"Kompany, Laporte, Stones, Otamendi, these are already four central defenders!"

"Is it still necessary to bring in the backfield?"

Guardiola put down his delicate coffee cup and said, "Vincent Kompany's contract expires this summer and the club will not renew his contract.

"Otamendi's contract hasn't expired, it's just that he's talked to me several times, too low in the team and too little playing time!"

"Some want to leave, maybe this summer!"

"In this situation, do you think it is too much to bring in a central defender?"

Tasuke fell silent, from this point of view, it is really not excessive, the Premier League team schedule is very dense, there should be at least two players in one position!

Guardiola: This is also a precautionary plan!

Gua Shuai slowly got up, came to the corridor, looked at the two sweaty figures on the training ground, and said with a smile: "Also, Ake has many functions, he can not only play central defender, but even left back can also try!"

Tasuke followed and nodded slightly, "Mendy has not been in good shape recently, Zinchenko is a little more immature, if Ake can join, it will be really good." "

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this time, on the training ground, Chen Feng was doing strength training, group after group!

Haaland is doing passing drills on the side.

Passing is Majin's short board, but how can Majin have a short board? So, fell into a crazy training state!

......

Time: 2019-01-15.

Location: Etihad Stadium.

Temperature: cloudy, 8-9 degrees.

Referee: Craig Bowson.

While Pep Guardiola and Arteta were firmly on the bench, the starting line-ups of both teams had been announced on the big screen.

Manchester City's side playing at home has exactly the same lineup as when they played against Liverpool, and Haaland played in the Premier League!

On the away side of Wolves, the lineup has not changed much, Jota, Jimenez, Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Dendonker, Patricio and other main players are in the squad.

Perhaps the away Wolves players were afraid of the flood of cheers at the Etihad Stadium and were slow to get in for the first 10 minutes.

This gives Nuno a hurry, stomp his foot on the sidelines!

Stomping and stomping, stomp out the problem, that's called a BBQ!

It was an attack from the Manchester City back, Laporte's kick on the left flank pierced through the Wolves defence, Sane plugged in at high speed and crossed in front of the goal!

Haaland loves this kind of ball the most, and he is also handy for this kind of outflanking shot!

The body was slightly sideways, and the tip of his right foot slammed into the ball, causing the ball to fly towards the goal with a wail!

Patricio's skills are also considered agile, but he is still helpless for Majin's shot, allowing the ball to cross the goal line!

GGGGG--------OOOO-------AAAA--------LLLL!

Haaland scored consecutive goals!

Everyone at the scene couldn't help but make a Goal voice, and their eyes looked at Haaland who was performing Guanyin sitting lotus on the edge of the venue.

To be precise, it is not everyone's eyes with light, but Haaland with his own light!

A simple goal could not win the cheers of the coaching staff, and the two of Gua Shuai and Tasuke sat calmly in their seats, the former looking like they had won the game.

The latter, on the other hand, mourned Aguero for three seconds, and at this pace, even if the top scorer returns, it will not be able to shake Haaland's main center position, right?

It's really going to be a headache for the coaching staff!

......

Trailing 1-0, Wolves finally woke up.

Their attack on the pitch is getting tougher, but it's just too strong!

No, in the 19th minute, something went wrong!

David Silva dribbled at the edge of the box, former Atletico Madrid centre-back Castro and Wolves' main centre-back Boly rushed over, vowing to kill David in this position!

Captain Blue Moon is not easy to mess with, a bicycle passing, directly made Castro's 21 million worth 10 million!

He was easily shaken!

Only Boli was left, and the fierce upper grab failed to grasp the scale, and directly shoveled David Silva, and by the way, he lit up the studs!

Captain Blue Moon howled in pain on the court!

The Blue Moon fans suddenly stopped working, and they all spoke up for the captain, and all kinds of voices mixed together, surged over!

The Blue Moon team members stepped forward one after another, protecting the captain while also protecting him firmly behind him.

The large-scale riot abruptly ended with a red card, and in the face of Boli's excessive defensive behavior, referee Craig Bowson did not relent and sent him home directly!

Boli was unconvinced, but he could only be dragged by his teammates and sent off the field!

After the turmoil, the situation on the pitch became clearer, Wolves played one less man and sent a well-placed free-kick!

In the 21st minute of the game, Chen Feng came to take the penalty, and a move [cruise missile] was more accurate than Coutinho's cloud-piercing arrow, passing between Patricio's palms!

Bang -

smashed into the net!

Before half-time, Manchester City 2-0 Wolves and one more man!

For the rest of the time, the game fell into the control of Manchester City without suspense, and the wolf turned into a wild wolf!

But the home team is undaunted!

A wild wolf without a paw, why be afraid?
