I don't just score goals

The national football team’s World Cup journey is over.

The team can return home in dignity.

Hao Qiang said goodbye to the team in Brazil.

Zheng Zhi felt a little regretful because they had a celebration party after returning home.

Overall, they achieved the best results among Asian participating teams, which is certainly not a shame.

Domestic public opinion is also very friendly to them.

The thriving scene makes everyone look forward to the Asian Cup half a year later.

Hao Qiang is the backbone, and captain Zheng Zhi sees this and naturally hopes that he can appear more in the team.

But Hao Qiang doesn't want to waste time on meaningless things.

World Cup Round of 16.

Celebration party?

There is always a reason to celebrate.

But even though he couldn't say he was dissatisfied with this result, he didn't have much to be happy about.

He would rather spend time with his family.

Before parting, Wu Lei said categorically to Hao Qiang: "Brother Qiang, I will definitely go to Europe this summer!"

Hao Qiang didn't know what to say.

He is not anyone's nanny.

What Wu Lei said made him a little embarrassed.

I can only touch his head to encourage him.

After parting ways with the national football team, Hao Qiang took his family to a small island in the Mediterranean for vacation.

Isolate yourself from the world and enjoy the bliss of immortality.

...

It is indeed difficult to associate the Chinese team's World Cup journey with regrets.

The host Brazil was brutally slaughtered by Germany 7:1 at home. This was not only a regret for Brazil, but also a tragedy for Brazil.

Boss Mei failed to win the championship in the final and was crowned the football champion.

This is the real regret that belongs to him and Argentina.

...

The European football transfer market is in turmoil after the World Cup.

Manchester City took the lead in selling Yaya Toure, who went to Paris Saint-Germain.

There he found his soulmate: Ravitch.

The two of them could meet and criticize Hao Qiang, the bastard, for all his faults, as if Hao Qiang had committed such a heinous crime that both humans and gods were outraged.

They formed the "Avengers", hoping to meet Manchester City in the Champions League and teach Hao Qiang a lesson.

But whenever the French media suggested that Paris spend a sky-high price to bring in Hao Qiang from Manchester City, the two of them said nothing but trembled in their hearts.

If Hao Qiang really transfers to Paris Saint-Germain, the two of them may have to move cowardly again.

Manchester City purged its personnel, Gareth Barry left the team on a free agency, Lescott, Richards and Pantilimon were loaned out, and Rodwell moved to Sunderland.

In terms of signings, Arsenal full-back Sagna was introduced for free, and goalkeeper Caballero was introduced from Malaga.

Introduced midfielder Fernando and defender Mangala from Porto.

Compared with last year's investment at all costs, this year we have controlled our expenditures.

The net investment is only 60 million euros.

Very restrained.

There are no particularly heavyweight signings in the Premier League's Big 5, but overall they are not too picky either.

Arsenal brought in Sanchez, Chambers, Debuchy and Ospina for almost 60 million euros.

Chelsea introduced Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, and Felipe Luis. Counting the funds they recovered from selling Lukaku and other players, the investment was not huge.

However, Mourinho's signings are extremely targeted, and the areas where the team needs to be supplemented have been strengthened.

Manchester United made an astonishing investment in bringing in Herrera, Luke Shaw, Di Maria, Falcao and other players. At the same time, they completed a coaching change and Louis van Gaal took over.

Liverpool has introduced Lallana, Markovic, Emre Can, Lambert, Lovren and Origi, and their investment ranks among the best.

As for Tottenham, there is not much to say, just a small fuss.

...

Hao Qiang had a magical life for nearly three weeks. After coming out of his gentle country, he returned to Manchester and while preparing for the new season, he filmed a large number of endorsement ads under the control of the team.

After the World Cup, his commercial value further increased domestically.

This made him leap to the first place on the football sports income list, surpassing Ronaldo and Messi.

When Manchester City began to prepare for the new season, the team members were scattered.

Some players who participated in the World Cup and reached the semi-finals got more time off.

Such as Aguero and Zabaleta.

New players have joined the team and no important players have left Manchester City.

Yaya Toure has not played in the last stage of last season, so his departure will not have a big impact on the team.

Manchester City's strength has improved slightly.

At the same time, this is also a change in Manchester City's recruitment thinking.

After being crowned Premier League champions twice, Manchester City is focusing more on long-term construction for the future.

The management has a large number of former Barcelona people, and their goal is to build the core direction of Manchester City's youth training system and cultivate players with Manchester City's culture and color in the long term.

This is a century-old plan, so Manchester City attaches great importance to it.

But for the competition in contemporary football, only time will tell whether this road has been taken a little late and whether it is effective.

It is obvious that developing a player requires both time and space from the team.

But space means risk.

Which head coach can risk his record as Manchester City manager?

So now there are fewer and fewer players that the wealthy clubs can train for their own use.

It’s not that there aren’t any good prospects, it’s that it’s difficult to give those talented players enough space to perform.

No matter how awesome a genius is, he or she will not be able to perform brilliantly just by appearing on the stage.

Manchester City begins summer preparations step by step.

In mid-July, the team went to the United States to participate in the International Champions Cup.

The sports business in the United States is very developed.

Even turning the football industry into a friendly match brand can bring huge benefits.

European teams are also happy to go to the United States in the summer to participate in the International Champions Cup, which is composed of wealthy and traditional teams.

The main reason is that the appearance fee is much higher.

Otherwise, they would not have traveled all the way to the other side of the ocean.

Manchester City obviously went to play for tickets.

Absolute main players like Hao Qiang and Aguero, symbols of strength that broke all Premier League records for strikers or strike combinations last season, were substituted in the International Champions Cup warm-up match.

To warm up, Pellegrini must consider the actual situation of the team.

If the players get tired, the gains outweigh the losses.

It is more cost-effective to pay more attention to the status of the new players and the performance of the substitutes than to let the main players work hard to please the American fans.

Manchester City faced AC Milan in the first game.

Manchester City easily swept their opponents 5:1.

Since Hao Qiang left Naples last year in Serie A, the only player left in Serie A who can carry the banner is Juventus.

The Milan duo's decline has shown no signs of improvement.

The second match between Manchester City and Liverpool.

Manchester City is warming up, Liverpool is really playing!

Liverpool failed to compete for the title last season and ended up with an embarrassing gap. They are making every effort to start anew in the new season.

They exerted too much force and ended up drawing with Manchester City. Manchester City lost the penalty shootout.

Coming to July 30th.

In the last game of the group stage, Manchester City didn't even feature the main players in their clash with Olympiacos, and they went directly to the substitutes.

Another draw, another penalty shootout.

Manchester City failed to enter the semi-finals and returned home.

On the way back, Pellegrini made up his mind to make the team practice shooting penalties at least three times a week!

It is true that there are not many application scenarios for penalty kicks.

But whenever there is a penalty shootout, it is definitely a critical moment of life and death.

Maybe this summer's International Champions Cup is a reminder to them: Brothers, it's time to practice penalty kicks!
