"Pep, what does the club think? This kid is the best I have seen in years. Believe me, he has the potential to become a world-class midfielder!"
That night, in Guardiola's office in Manchester City, Manchester City scout James Smith sat in front of Guardiola's desk with a somewhat ugly look on his face.
As a scout, if you find an outstanding player and report it, but the club ignores it, this is a denial of his ability to work.
James has been paying attention to Mo Yang for a long time. He discovered this Chinese player who surprised him since the third round of the British Championship.
Delicate foot skills, various long and short passes as if equipped with positioners, and his shocking field vision. These three abilities alone are enough to make a player a very good midfielder.
Player.
What's more, the boy's advantages are far beyond these, such as his tenacious willpower, amazing imagination and creativity, and natural leadership.
When watching that kid play, you should never guess what he will do next, because there is no way you can guess it.
Of course, that kid also has obvious shortcomings, such as his poor defense.
This is why it is not so obvious in low-level competitions like the British Championship, and the physical resistance is relatively average.
As for shooting, he couldn't make a conclusion yet, because the kid shot so few times on the court that he couldn't see anything.
Seeing James' eager look, Guardiola suddenly laughed and said, "James, Yang is already on Begiristain's purchase list. The reason why he hasn't made any move yet is because of those boring business methods."
Ever since James sent back the scouting report for the first time, Guardiola has been interested in Mo Yang.
There is no doubt that this is a talented midfielder!
What shocked Guardiola the most was Mo Yang's extremely balanced feet, which is so important for a midfielder.
Guardiola watched the game video edited by James for two full hours, but the amazing thing was that he couldn't tell which was the kid's dominant foot. Finally, he came to an incredible conclusion.
This Chinese person may have both dominant feet!
Although this is very incredible, it is true because he can't see the difference at all.
He wants this kind of talented midfielder very much, but he is afraid that this kid will not come to Manchester City.
Manchester City just signed the Belgian De Bruyne in August this year. In terms of game experience, De Bruyne is a complete hit in China.
One is a mature top midfielder, and the other is an immature young player. Guardiola doesn't have to choose at all.
But David Silva is almost 30 years old. If China Yang is willing to join Manchester City, then Guardiola will position him as an important member of the future team.
In short, in one sentence, Manchester City does not have a place for Mo Yang now, but there will be one in the future.
If you dare to say this to his brother Pere, he will definitely be spit on his face.
Last time when I talked about Moyang's transfer with my brother Perret, Perret made it clear that what Moyang needs is a team that can play in the competition, and whether it is a rich team or not is secondary.
Therefore, Guardiola knows very well whether Mo Yang may join Manchester City.

Early the next morning, major media outlets in England were detonated by a piece of news that quickly circulated among major mainstream media outlets in England last night!
The four major Premier League clubs - Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal - all made public bids for Leeds United's Chinese midfielder last night.
In addition, other Premier League teams are also flocking here, such as Tottenham, Everton, Watford, and even Aston Villa and Newcastle United, two clubs currently in the relegation zone, are also joining in the fun.
What makes Bielsa most angry is Wolves' offer of 500,000 pounds, which is purely disruptive and deliberately made to disgust Leeds United after they lost the ball.
Although the quotations vary, the sincerity can be seen from the amount.
Liverpool and Chelsea offered 5 million and 6 million respectively, which are the most sincere.
Both teams' midfielders Lampard and Gerrard have left the team in recent years, and they have been looking for players capable of taking over this position.
After long-term tracking by club scouts, the final reports of both clubs have come out. There is no doubt that Mo Yang fully meets every condition they selected and is the midfield successor that best suits the team.
Moreover, the Chinese is also very comprehensive, with excellent ball play, huge vision, and sharp breakthroughs. He is so balanced that one cannot tell which foot is his dominant foot.
The most important thing is the efficiency shown by Mo Yang. He only played half of the 20th round and had 15 assists and 3 goals. You must know that Yang was injured in four games and was rotated in two games. This is
This kind of efficiency can no longer be described as high efficiency, but super efficiency.
Especially Chelsea, they hoped to take away Mo Yang in the winter window, because Mo Yang was a player trained by their own youth training, but he was lost due to a misdiagnosis.
After Chelsea owner Abramovich learned about it, he immediately fired the director of the medical department and the team doctor who diagnosed Mo Yang, and then directly ordered Emenalo to bring Mo Yang back to Chelsea.
Liverpool training ground.
Klopp is at the training ground and the coaching staff recording and observing the players' data and status in the match.
Suddenly seeing Michael Edwards wearing glasses on the training ground, Klopp was stunned for a moment and went straight to meet him.
"Almost all clubs in the Premier League have made offers for Yang!" Michael said with a smile as he held his eyes.
Klopp was startled and asked: "How much is the offer?"
"Arsenal is 4 million, Manchester United is 4.5 million, Tottenham is 4.7 million, and that troublesome Russian bastard also made an offer for Yang!"
"Six million pounds!" Michael made a six sign and looked like he had a toothache. This Russian really doesn't regard pounds as money!
"Hiss!" Klopp took a breath, was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Michael, go back and quote me 7 million pounds!"
Michael's eyes were blank, and he looked straight at Klopp, his expression as painful and ugly as if Klopp had cheated on his safe and stolen his wife.
"Believe me, sign him back and I'll pay you back 100 million!" Klopp said firmly.
"Okay! I hope you didn't make a mistake!" Michael looked at Klopp with helplessness on his face, said nothing more, turned around and walked back to the office.
There are roughly two types of football coaches, head coaches and team managers.
The coach literally means that he is only responsible for leading the team and instilling play and tactics.
But a manager, he not only has the rights of a head coach, but also has the rights to manage the club, such as transfer rights, which are important decision-making rights for the future of the club, and Klopp is this kind of manager-coach.
Klopp has most of the power to decide on signings. This is what the club's senior management agreed to when negotiating the contract with Klopp, and it was written into the contract.
After Klopp took over as coach, Liverpool's performance has improved significantly this season, which proves his coaching ability, and the young players promoted by Klopp also prove how sharp his vision is, such as Alexander-Arnold.
Although Alexander-Arnold is not the starter yet, he has been a substitute in every game this season and has shown very good defensive ability and excellent ability to advance forward and assist. This is a talented player discovered by Klopp.
As for Leeds United, Bielsa was in a terrible mood when faced with a flurry of offer faxes.
The winter transfer window hasn't even opened yet, and everyone is rushing towards us. What's this?
Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, all four giants are here.
Players have basically zero resistance when faced with calls from wealthy clubs, which means high salaries, top honors, and unimaginable exposure.
Bielsa can almost imagine that as the second half of the league progresses and Mo Yang continues to perform well, he may receive offers not only from the Premier League, but also from wealthy clubs outside the Premier League.
When the time comes, Radrizzani will not hesitate to sell Mo Yang and package Mo Yang into a beautiful auction item, and the highest bidder will get it.
When he thinks that Mo Yang will leave next season, Bielsa feels so distressed that he can't breathe.
He is even a little confused as to what lineup he should use next season to deal with those strong Premier League teams.
But one thing Bielsa is very sure about is that young players such as Bamford, Phillips, Ayling, and Costa must stay, otherwise he will resign directly, or he will be humiliated if he goes to the Premier League.
With thoughts in his mind, Bielsa immediately got up and went to Chairman Radrizzani's office. He needed to talk to Radrizzani.
