The opening partner Harland swept the European powers

2019, end of July, Manchester City FC.

Sitting in the office, Begilistan breathed a sigh of relief, not only because Soriano was back, but the transfer matter could finally be thrown at him.

All the more because the defender players that Josep named to be recruited finally have eyebrows!

In the signing office, the 24-year-old Dutch centre-back waited a little uneasily, and a few minutes later, a familiar face finally appeared!

"Hey!"

The Dutch central defender greeted solemnly, Guardiola nodded lightly and stretched out his hand, "Sit!" "Good

!"

After a brief greeting, Guardiola asked: "Can you say, why are you willing to accept our invitation from Manchester City?" I heard you have a lot of options too! The

young centre-back blurted out, "Of course because Manchester City are a great club, when I learned that Manchester City wanted me to come, I didn't hesitate...".

"Nathan, you know, that's not what I want to hear!"

"Say what's in your heart, is that okay?"

Hearing this, the Dutch central defender fell silent, and after a long time, he showed an arrogant smile, "Of course, because you can win the championship when you come to Manchester City, who doesn't want to win a title?" Not all of them are Harry Kane! [

Kane:??? 【

Kane: I CNM! Did I offend you? It's okay, cue, what am I doing? 【

British Emperor Star feels offended! 】 "

Very good!" Guardiola nodded in satisfaction, ignoring the details of the players' swear words, after the team won the championship, his biggest fear was that the players would become bad without the desire for the title!

Therefore, he is in desperate need of several new signings desperate for the championship to break the possible backwater!

This person in front of him is one of his goals!

"Sorry, sorry!"

"It's late!"

Soriano wiped his sweat and hurried over.

Guardiola glanced at the time, twelve o'clock at night, and said with a smile: "It's not late, it's not late, it's just right, let's start!" "Good

!"

Soriano tidied up his expensive suit, sat down on the other side of the young centre-back, and under the capture of the camera, showed a professional smirk.

The young centre-back was no longer so nervous at the moment, stretched out his right hand and shook it politely with the team manager.

By the time the photo was sent to the official announcement department, Manchester City's third signing of the season had been released and was on the official website of Manchester City!

......

[In the early morning of August 1st, we are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Bournemouth central defender Ake to sign a contract until 2024! ]

Dutch defender Ake, who was born in 1995, is 180cm tall and a defender generalist!

Can play as a central defender, left back and back position!

Ake debuted in the Chelsea Academy and was loaned to multiple teams and performed well during his loan spell at Bournemouth, being bought out by the Cherries for £2 million in 2018!

Last season, Ake was a regular at Bournemouth, playing 20 games for the team, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists!

With such an outstanding performance, we have reason to believe that Ake can achieve great success in the Blue Moon Legion!

I believe that the Dutch central defender will definitely become the world's top defender!

Together, we'll see!

Although Ake's transfer fee was not disclosed in the official announcement, the matter could not be concealed, and the £41 million transfer fee was quickly reported.

A few hours later, Ake spoke to the media and the young Dutch centre-back said: "Manchester City have been arguably the best club in the Premier League in the last decade, and it is my dream to join here!" "

There are a lot of great players here... Chen, Elllin, Kevin..."

"And Gua Shuai, I admire him and admire his coaching style, I will only do my best to improve myself and help the team achieve more honors!"

Begilistan, the team director who was interviewed with Ake, also praised the player, "Ake is a top defender, he is the leader of the defence at Bournemouth, and I am happy to be able to recruit him!"

"He's fast and strong! I'm sure he's the type of defender Pep Guardiola wants and we're looking forward to seeing him contribute more!" The

successive comments are an indication of the attitude of the Manchester City club, and Ake, who joined at a high price, will play an important role in the new season, just like Joao Cancelo.

And how important is this role? It depends on the performance of the players themselves.

One day later, at the team's training match, Guardiola clearly conveyed his meaning to the two new signings: here, there is no iron main force, only a flowing camp!

Acker is not hot, and it is not surprising that he does his own thing step by step, trying his best to integrate into the team's tactical system.

But Cancelo, who thinks very high, can't stand it!

He had a great pre-season and thought he could take a starting spot, but on August 4, in the dressing room at Wembley Stadium.

The moment Pep Guardiola read out his team's starting squad, Cancelo exploded!!

Why？

Of course! The Portuguese full-back has just joined the team, so naturally he does not dare to question the manager's decision in person.

He just found Tasuke and Kong Suke in private and asked the two why? Why did he perform so well in the preseason, and he was not a starting fullback!

Where the hell is he inferior to Ake?

In terms of transfer value, he is higher than Ake! In terms of performance in training matches, he is better than Ake! Why wasn't he the starter?

In this regard, Tasuke and Kong Suke sighed helplessly, just comforting Cancelo, who had an explosive mentality, over and over again.

Gua Shuai saw all this in his eyes and didn't say much.

Why did you arrange for Ake, who joined the team for less than a week, to start? Of course because the Dutch centre-back is good enough on the defensive end!

Quick footing, single defense fierce... And Cancelo is just slightly stronger offensive!

If it's a normal match, you can arrange for Cancelo to start, but today is different, today's match at Wembley Stadium is the Community Shield final!

The opponent is Liverpool, and there is no room for sloppiness!

......

With the passage of time, the players of both sides began to start the entrance, and the managers of the two teams did not introduce much, the old wrongdoers, but also old friends!

In the studio, Director Zhan said with a smile: "Long time no see, hello everyone, I'm xxx" "

Community Shield Final, this is a competition that will be held every season!"

"It was before the Premier League started!"

'In the past, Premier League champions played against FA Cup winners, just like last season, Manchester City and Chelsea!'

"But last season was a bit special."

"Oh?" Director Zhang cooperated and asked, "What's special?"

Zhan explains: "The special thing is that last season's league title and FA Cup title were Manchester City!

"Shhh!"

Director Zhang gasped.

Zhan continued: "So, this year's Community Shield final is the winner and runners-up of the Premier League, which is really a fateful showdown!

"Last season, City under Pep Guardiola beat Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool by one point!"

"This year, they meet again!"

"I don't know what kind of sparks will burst out, but it's really exciting!"
