Former England goalkeeper David Himan talked about De Ligt's transfer storm. Manchester United wanted to sign the Dutch star, but the Red Devils' management was unwilling to pay high transfer fees. De Ligt's agent refused to lower the offer, and the two sides were still in a stalemate. Since De Ligt and Bayern's management have had a quarrel, he cannot stay at Allianz Stadium, David Himan thinks De Ligt is suitable for the Blue Moon Legion. Although Guardiola's demand for a central defender is not very urgent, Guardiola is very clear about the importance of a central defender. In addition, Manchester City has pursued De Ligt in the previous seasons, David Himan believes that the probability of this Dutch star joining the Blue Moon is present. First of all, De Ligt pursues honor. Since it is difficult for the Netherlands to break through the fate of the "uncrowned king", De Ligt pinned his hope of winning the championship trophy in the club's game.

The Blue Moon Army is in a period of stable record. Although the competition in the Premier League is fierce, Manchester City's chances of winning the Premier League championship may be higher than that of the Southern Stars winning the Bundesliga championship. De Ligt is suitable for this club at least from the perspective of honor. Moreover, Guardiola's tactical system is also suitable for De Ligt, it depends on whether the management of the Blue Moon Army can "intercept" this excellent central defender. Eddie Howe is shortlisted for England's new coach. Can he take over Southgate? David Sheeman believes that theoretically speaking, Eddiehao can coach the Three Lions - Eddiehao can deal with the World Cup qualifiers, and his strategy will also have certain benefits for the World Cup qualifiers and the UEFA Nations League. However, from a realistic perspective, although this strategy can handle the World Cup, Eddie Hau is unlikely to coach the national team because Newcastle will not defend people.

The Magpies did not get the Magic Birds in the middle of last season, and Eddie Howe continued to coach Newcastle. Now the management has changed a few times, and the coaching staff has no capital to substitute. In this unpredictable football world, Eddie Howe's strategy and ability have been widely recognized. His tactical arrangement and game reading ability make Newcastle unique in the Premier League. However, as we know, the career of football coaches is full of uncertainty and the opportunity to coach the national team is extremely attractive to every coach. At least from Newcastle's tactical structure, if Eddie Howe coaches the national team and there is no internal strife, then his tactics can indeed deal with the World Cup qualifiers. . At the same time, Eddie Hao can also take this opportunity to challenge himself and prove that he can not only succeed at the club level, but also show outstanding coaching skills at the national team level.

In short, although Eddie Hao currently coaches Newcastle, David Sheeman still hopes that he will maintain certain expectations and attention for the national team's coach position. In the future, if he has the opportunity to coach the national team, I believe he will be able to lead the team to achieve more brilliant results. After all, "South Gate" always needs a successor, and now it seems that Eddie Hao is the most suitable one. In David Heeman's view, De Ligt fits very well with Manchester City's existing player style. The Blue Moon's midfield has strong control and creativity, which can provide solid support for De Ligt. At the same time, Manchester City's frontcourt players are fast and have strong breakthrough ability, which can also reduce defensive pressure for De Ligt and make him more relaxed in the game.

Furthermore, De Ligt's technical characteristics are consistent with Manchester City's needs. He has excellent physical fitness and defensive abilities, and is able to put huge pressure on his opponents on the defensive end. At the same time, his pass and interception skills are also excellent and can play a key role in the game. These characteristics make De Ligt an ideal candidate on Manchester City's back-end. In other words, at the tactical level, De Ligt is very suitable for the Blue Moon Army, which is the main reason why Begiristan was preparing to buy him in the previous few seasons. Finally, David Heeman also pointed out that De Ligt has accumulated rich experience in his career and is able to exert his strength at critical moments. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for Manchester City, as they need an experienced central defender to stabilize the back in the game.

To sum up, David Himan believes that De Ligt is very suitable for the Blue Moon Legion. If Manchester City can successfully introduce this Dutch star, their strength will be further improved and they will show stronger competitiveness in future games. The author (an old colleague talks about it) believes that since the rumors between Manchester United and De Ligt have reached such a point, without any surprises, the Dutch star will eventually go to Dream Theater, but there is room for discussion on the transfer fee. Once Delicht has played for the Red Devils, even if his tactical abilities are very suitable for the Blue Moon Legion, he is unlikely to go to the same city's old enemy team. In the absence of special circumstances, Guardiola will not directly sign ups from his old rival team in the same city.
