The opening partner Harland swept the European powers

Two days before the competition, Soriano and Belgistan made a summary of the work of the summer window.

Transfer out:

Sane - Bayern Munich for a transfer fee of 40 million euros.

Danilo – Juventus, transfer fee of 37 million euros.

Douglas Luiz – Aston Villa, transfer fee of €16.8 million.

Delf – Everton, transfer fee of €9.5 million.

Manu Garcia – Sport with a transfer fee of €4 million.

Pablo Rory – Flamengo, transfer fee of €1.7 million.

Fernandinho – Atletico Paranaense, free agency....

This summer, the transfer market revenue totals: 109 million euros!

Transfer in:

Steffen (Columbus Crew) – transfer fee of €6.8 million.

Cancelo (Juventus) – transfer fee of €65 million.

Ake (Bournemouth) – transfer fee of €45 million.

Mahrez (Leicester City) – transfer fee of €48 million.

Eric Garcia – promoted from Under-18 to first team....

This summer, a total of 160 million euros were invested in the transfer market!

In this way, Manchester City invested a net 50 million euros in this summer window, completed the midfield, updated the backfield, and strengthened the striker.

It's a very successful transfer window!

Soriano and Begilistan slowly toasted their outstanding contributions this summer.

"That's right."

After putting down the wine glass, Soriano suddenly thought, "Is Gabriel's next home connected?" There is still a gap of 50 million, can this account be flattened?

Belgistan shook his head, "I'm afraid it's difficult!"

"Still no one to take over?"

"That's right!"

"Then forget it, you remember to go to that guy and have a good talk, if you can't leave, put away your thoughts and train well."

"Okay."

The two skipped the topic, played music, and danced in the office.

......

At the same time, in the manager's office.

Guardiola's brows furrowed deeply, the competition is imminent, and the roster must be confirmed!

After a series of transfers and transfers, the team's current lineup is as follows:

goalkeepers: Edson, Bravo, Steffen.

Defenders: De Ligt, Laporte, Stones, Otamendi, Cancelo, Ake, Kyle Walker, Mendy, Zinchenko, Garcia.

Midfielders: De Bruyne, De Jong, Gundogan, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Foden, Palmer.

Forwards: Sergio Aguero, Chen Feng, Haaland, Raheem Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus.

There are 26 players in total, but only 22 can actually be brought to Istanbul.

In other words, there are 4 players who will be out of the squad.

Sighing slowly, Guardiola picked up a marker and drew in circles on the paper, and soon identified the 4 players who missed the UEFA Super Cup!

1 in goalkeeper position, 2 in defender position, 1 person in forward position....

Those who were left behind at the Etihad Stadium were destined to watch this extremely exciting match only on the big screen.

......

October 10, 2019.

Turkey's Istanbul Stadium, in the anticipation of tens of thousands of fans, last season's Champions League winners Manchester City and last season's Europa League winners Chelsea officially debuted.

It's a Premier League civil war and whoever wins the trophy goes to Premier League teams.

Before the game, Guardiola and Frank Lampard shook hands.

Yes, the Blues' current manager has become Frank Lampard with Chelsea DNA!

Speaking of which, Frank Lampard also played for Manchester City for one season, that was in 2014-15, 38 appearances, 8 goals and 4 assists!

At that time, Guardiola had not officially gone to Manchester City to coach, and the two did not have a mentor-apprentice relationship.

Former Blues boss Maurizio Sarri was already shaky after the 'Coach Kay' incident, and after leading the team to this season, on June 30, 2019, Sarri left!

However, the Italian coach still has some quality and has not left the Blues empty this season!

As Sarri's successor, Frank Lampard, who has pure Blues blood, naturally wants to do better than his predecessor.

However, Frank Lampard only had one year of coaching experience before managing Chelsea, and it was really a bit too hasty to coach a team like Derby County.

As it turns out, Frank Lampard really doesn't have the talent to manage....

Not every player has been like Zidane, turning coach and achieving great success!

These are afterwords, so let's leave them aside.

Frank Lampard has been passionate, but the club has not been able to give him much, and this season, they have lost the core players in the team!

That's the absolute core!

Eden Hazard went to Real Madrid for a sky-high transfer fee of 115 million euros, and the Belgian captain is about to start his 'side business'.

The king of the ball is also about to start from this moment and slide into the bottomless abyss....

In addition, the team's veteran David Luiz also left, he was sold by the team to Arsenal for 5 million euros!

Then, some players who were not in Frank Lampard's plan also left.

In terms of signings, the club has only brought one person to the young manager, that is, Croatia international, Kovacic!

The Blues activated the buyout clause and €4,500 kept Kovacic at Stamford Bridge.

Apart from this signing, the Blues have not moved throughout the summer window, or a large number of loaned players have returned, such as Bakayoko, Michy Batshuayi, Tammy Abraham, Zuma and others.

Otherwise, Frank Lampard had to pick someone from the second team and promote the 20-year-old Mount and 19-year-old Reece James!

That's right! Chelsea have an offer in addition to Kovacic, but it was finalized a long time ago!

Now it can only be regarded as a loan return!

That person is 'Captain America' Christian Pulisic, a beautiful 20-year-old national striker who has officially returned to the team!

With such a line-up, you say Chelsea is weak, right? It's really not weak, there are a lot of talents in the team, but you say he is strong, right? It's not necessarily going to be stronger!

What a key person who can hammer the hammer down!
