Chapter 443 Complete Victory over Barcelona

Premier League upstart Manchester City officially announced that Argentine striker Aguero joined, and Aguero signed a five-year contract with Manchester City.

After signing former Arsenal left-back Clichy and Montenegrin talent defender Savage, Aguero is Manchester City's third signing this summer. Manchester City Club did not disclose the specific transfer fee amount on its official website, but according to the Daily Mail, Aguero's transfer fee will reach 38 million pounds, including the first 35 million pounds and additional terms of 3 million pounds. As a result, Aguero also surpassed the 2008 European summer bid of 32.5 million pounds. Born in Robinho, he became the most valuable player in Manchester City's history. Aguero's weekly salary is close to 200,000 pounds (19.8 million pounds), that is to say, Manchester City will pay up to 90 million pounds in the transfer fee (38 million pounds) + salary (5 years 52 million pounds) in order to get Aguero.

When asked in an official interview with Manchester City whether he would face great challenges and whether he would change his playing style to adapt to the Premier League, Aguero said: "To be honest, I don't think so. I don't think it will be very difficult to integrate into the team. I will try my best to complete the task assigned to me by the coach and play football according to his requirements. Of course, the coach knows how he should use me.

In La Liga, David Silva and Yaya Toure used to be Aguero's opponents, but now they have become teammates. Argentina's golden boy is not stingy with his praise: "They are great players. I have played against them in the past. It's very lucky to fight side by side with them, and I'm very happy about it. Aguero also knows about Manchester City's achievements last season. He also said that he watched the FA Cup final and hoped to help the team achieve greater results.

Speaking of his understanding of the team, Aguero said that he had communicated with Zabaleta, saying, "This is a happy team." Aguero said that Liverpool's Maxie Rodriguez was his best friend in the Premier League. He said, "I used to be a teammate. I got along well with him. We are good friends. We have played for the Argentine national team and Atletico Madrid.

Manchester City said that Aguero will participate in the Dublin Super Cup this weekend. In the new season, Aguero will wear Manchester City's No. 16 jersey, which is also his jersey number for the Argentina national team. Aguero's former owner Atletico Madrid also announced the news on its official website and thanked the Argentine striker, "From now on, Aguero is no longer a member of the team. The club thanks Aguero for his contribution to the team over the past five years and hopes that he will continue to have good luck in the new team.

Aguero, who became famous for Argentina's independent team, joined Atletico Madrid in 2006 and scored 74 goals in 175 games on behalf of the team in La Liga. In the Argentine national team, Aguero is also one of the key players. He has played 30 games for the national team and scored 13 goals.

And Manchester United in the same city has launched a series of warm-up matches in the United States and visited the White House in the United States!

Barcelona was embarrassed in the United States. They planned to train around the White House, but were bombarded by the security department. Manchester United, who also appeared near the White House, was treated as a VIP and was invited to visit the White House.

Manchester United defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final. In the United States, the Red Devils' brand influence seems to be much greater than that of Barcelona. Ancelotti and his team members were invited to visit the White House. Although they were not received by President Obama, they received special permission to visit the White House at will.

Ancelotti said, "It's great. We all enjoy it. I've been to the White House before, but this time it's still exciting. It's an extraordinary place with historical significance." Manchester United defender Ferdinand also posted a photo of himself visiting the White House room on his personal Weibo.

The treatment of European champion Barcelona was very different. The whole team came outside the White House and planned to do some stretching and running activities, but was kicked away by security personnel. Midfielder Harvey said, "We were told that up to 10 to 15 people can move there at a time." According to security personnel, they drove away Barcelona players because so many people were not allowed to appear near the White House. Compared with Manchester United's tour group of more than 40 people who can enter and exit the White House, Barcelona, the golden signboard of the European champion, does not seem to work well in the eyes of Americans. Of course, it also includes the itinerary and the relationship between British and American culture.

However, the British media are very interested in this matter. The Sun used the title of "Manchester United 3-0 Barcelona". The newspaper joked that the Red Devils defeated Barcelona twice in the Champions League finals, but this time it turned into a complete victory.

Of course, Barcelona is also actively expanding its influence in the United States. Recently, the team's chairman Russell and coach Guardiola attended an event with Bill Gates to cooperate with the Gates Foundation to help polio patients. As Barcelona has gradually established its position as the world's strongest team in the past two years, their influence has also expanded rapidly.

However, Manchester United still has an advantage in terms of brand value and world influence. According to the global ranking of the most valuable clubs released by Forbes last week, Manchester United ranks first in the world with $1.84 billion, oppressing many professional teams that Americans are proud of (Dallas Cowboys Football Team No. Second, the New York Yankees baseball team is the third), the only football team close to Manchester United is Real Madrid, ranking sixth in the list, while Barcelona did not enter the top ten.

Among the final players of Manchester United, the most concerned in the United States is of course Li Yu, the star of Manchester United. In terms of football, his new wife is also the Hollywood star Jenny. After arriving in the United States, many media are like taking photos of Li Yu stealing photos of Jenny. Where Manchester United goes on the 9th, they will naturally form groups. Where to follow.

Li Yu doesn't matter now. You can shoot if you want. We are upright. Who can say that the newlywed Yan's is wrong?

During Manchester United's stay in the United States, Jenny accompanied him all the way, and Ancelotti did not publicly express any dissatisfaction. Although it was a warm-up match, everyone knew that Manchester United also wanted to open up the American market and make money by the way!

Now the club owner is not happy to have Jenny promote the Red Devils for free, so naturally he will not stop him.

When Jenny finishes shooting the latest play, she will also go to England for a while.

After defeating Barcelona, Manchester United won the warm-up trip in the United States, scoring 20 goals and conceded 3 goals, which made Manchester United full of confidence in the new season. Manchester City, the sworn enemy in the same city, is also in good shape after a 3-0 victory over Serie A giants Inter Milan. The two teams will contribute a high-quality "warm-up" to Premier League fans in the Community Shield game this Sunday.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United assistant coach Mike Ferran believes that this is just a "smelly" warm-up match. More than three months ago, Manchester City eliminated Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals and finally won the FA Cup, which still makes Manchester United worried. Ferran believes that the game against Manchester City's Community Shield is just an appetizer before the start of the league, and there is nothing special about it. He said: "This (match with Manchester City) is no different. Manchester United faces the challenges of other teams every day, and Sunday's game is just one of the ordinary. However, this game will indeed be 'delicious'. After all, the two sides are two Manchester teams. We still have a week left, and we can try something new.

Before every season's game with Manchester City, the two sides will inevitably have a few words, "noisy neighbors" and Tevez "Welcome to Manchester!" That's where it comes from.

In the new season, with the retirement of the old captain Gary Neville, Nani took the initiative to take on this "task". The Sun said that after the game against Barcelona, Nani, who performed very well, has issued a warning to his rival Manchester City. Nani said: "In every season, the community shield game is an important start, and now this game will become more important. Manchester City has become very powerful, but it will also be Manchester United who will win!"

Nani is likely to regain the favor of Ferguson through his excellent performance in the first game against Barcelona. And the striker Berbatov, who did not get a chance to play in the whole game, may not escape the fate of being purged. According to the Daily Express, Malaga in La Liga has still not given up its pursuit of Beba. Manchester United has clearly informed Babba that the club will re-evaluate whether to renew the contract with him after the end of the new season. Emil Danchev, Berbatov's agent, also said: "I won't comment on these rumors. Beba is still a Manchester United player. He is very happy in the team and he will not transfer until his contract expires."

In the warm-up match between Manchester United and Barcelona, De Gea played the whole game. Although he was attacked by Tiago into a world wave, the overall performance was still excellent.

After the game, head coach Ancelotti said that De Gea could replace the retired goalkeeper Van der Sar.

The Manchester Evening News said that De Gea's excellent performance and Lindgaard's strong competition will make young youth Amos face severe challenges, and Amos must now decide whether to stay at Manchester United to accept the challenge. Amos has realized that if he stays at Manchester United, he is likely to spend his new season in the reserve team. Amos said, "This is a rare decision (whether to stay or not), and I am still considering it. I have a chance, but it still depends on the head coach's arrangement. The next few weeks are very important to me, and I won't give up easily.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United midfielder Fletcher has completely got rid of the invasion of the gastrovirus. Fletcher was infected with this strange virus last season, which caused him to lose a sharp weight and make him lose the strength to participate in the game. Fletcher was very happy that he had fully recovered. He said, "I'm glad to be back. I feel that my weight has recovered very well."

Fletcher has recovered, but another general, Valencia, still faces both physical and mental torture. According to the Daily Mail, Valencia, which is struggling with injuries, has encountered resistance to renewal negotiations due to the use of portrait rights. Manchester United CEO Jill revealed last Friday that he was confident to complete the renewal of his contract with Valencia. However, the negotiations between the two sides have been put on hold and may be delayed until the beginning of this season.

Manchester United's contract renewal negotiations with several players have been put on hold, which must be the relationship between the stingy Glazer family.

At the same time, Arsenal's money-making journey is not over, first in Asia, and then against New York Red Bull at home.

Do you remember that he leaned on Dennis Irving to pick up the ball and shot in the air under the close pressure of Manchester United's iron guard. The ball was like a long rainbow through the sun, piercing the ten fingers of Butters. Do you remember that he received Vieira's long pass and directly pulled out his foot and shot angrily after unloading the ball. The ball was like a cannonball out of the dead corner of the goal. England The national goalkeeper James can only look at the ball and sigh. Do you remember that he rode thousands of miles alone in the North London Derby, rushing forward from his own backcourt, breaking through the goal after three consecutive blocks, and destroying the Gunner's deadly enemy - Tottenham Hotspur's defense line with his own strength... Too many memories, too many feelings, now, it has turned into the Communist Party. The same voice is all over the stands of the Emirates Stadium, and the self-made banners of those fans read the same sentence: "WelcomeHome! Thierry!” Welcome home, Thiérie Henry!

Arsenal's match against New York Red Bull was the first time to invite a team from North America in the Emirates Cup. Its intention is self-evable: to invite the former King of Haibury to the Emirates Stadium! Before the game, Barzke, the head coach of New York Red Bull, said, "Henry has a phenomenal career, and he deserves the most grand welcome!" That's exactly what happened. Before the game, the live broadcaster broadcast the starting list of the two sides, and deliberately fell to the name "Tieri Henry" at the end. As soon as the voice fell, the whole audience sounded with tsunami-like applause and cheers for a minute. Then, when the main players of the two sides officially entered from the player channel, the fans stood up and gave a long round of applause again, just because the leader was named Thiérie Henry!

After the game began, the applause for Henry still sounded all the time. In the second minute, Henry faced Sarnia and Girdinho on the left side of the penalty area and unexpectedly sent a heel pass. Although his teammates failed to seize the opportunity, Henry's exquisite pass still won the applause of the audience. In the 11th minute, Henry took the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area and suddenly took a cold shot. The ball was pasted. He rushed straight to the lower left corner of the goal and wiping the left post. In the 24th minute, Henry caused Sarnia to foul at the front of the penalty area and won a free kick opportunity. He personally took the penalty. Many fans in the stands are shouting "Tieri!" Thieri! Thierie!" And he raised his camera and was ready to capture Henry's full moon machete. Henry's shot crossed the wall, drew a wonderful arc, and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Szesni jumped up and flew out the ball. The shooting was beautiful, the defense was wonderful, and the whole audience applause was thunderous! In the 70th minute, Henry pushed the ball directly into the far corner of the goal against his teammate's oblique pass on the left side of the penalty area. Thanks to Szesney's rapid fall to the ground, he saved the ball thrillingly, and the whole audience applauded again.

After repeated attempts, he finally got a reward in the 84th minute. Henry took the ball in the upper left corner of the penalty area. He observed that Roy Miller plugged in at high speed and calmly sent out the straight plug ball. The force was just right. Roy Miller was already on the edge of the small penalty area when he got the ball. He knocked in front of the door, and the ball passed the shot. Zesney was knocked into the empty door by Arsenal young player Bartley! 1-1! Red Bull Flat Gunner!

Wenger said in an interview before the game: "Henry's return is very special to me, the club and the fans. He left too many great memories here. I know he will test our back line. I don't know if he can score, but I hope he will try his best to score. As Wenger said, Henry, who is about to turn 34 on August 17, is difficult to regain his courage in terms of physical fitness and speed, the former Arsenal No. 14 still has amazing technology and a strong desire to attack! Henry, dressed in the No. 14 shirt of New York Red Bull, failed to score in this game, but the handsome assist was also valuable! It was with this goal that New York Red Bull won the championship with a record of 1 win and 1 draw, and captain Henry picked up the Chiefs Cup!

As the event report on Arsenal's official website said: "This is Thieri's day!" ( ItwasThierry'sday) Wenger also said after the game: "People always say that great clubs will never die; it seems that great athletes will never die. Thieri showed us with his feet and brain today that he still has the top ability. I'm very happy to see him today. He played a very good game.

Wenger is full of affection for Henry, and Henry is also full of respect for his teacher. At the press conference before the game, he said, "I know that some people have asked Arsena (Winger) to leave recently. But at the beginning, it was he who changed the club. If it's up to me, I will definitely keep him and let him coach Arsenal for the rest of his life! They were very close to the champion, but they didn't make it. When he really stops, people will realize what Arsena means. Henry is also full of feelings for Arsenal fans. He said at the post-match press conference: "This is incredible. In the game, as soon as I take the ball, the fans will cheer for me and cheer for me when I am an opponent.

" Arsenal will always stay in my blood and in my heart, and I will always miss you. As I said, I will be a gunman all my life. I didn't lie, because you are a gunman for a day and a gunman for the rest of your life. The Arsenal Club is still in my heart and will always be there. Four years ago, when Henry transferred to Barcelona for 16 million pounds, he said so. Nowadays, although things are wrong, he and Arsenal still love each other. Even if there has been anger and loss, these are temporary. Only love is eternal. Perhaps, this is the meaning of "home"...

Once again, they got an awkward draw at home and once again equalized in the leading situation. Wenger and Arsenal are suffering unprecedented doubts. However, what's worse is that midfielder Willshell was injured in this game against New York Red Bull.

After the game, head coach Wenger first talked about the injury of Willschel: "They told me that Willshel may not return to the field until the end of next week, and he will miss the team's warm-up match with Benfica. If his injury does not recover well, he is likely to miss the next England game. The professor said disappointedly, "Of course, Wilshere is a strong child, and his recovery speed is always unexpected, so I hope he can make a miraculously comeback this time."

At the end of the game, Arsenal fans booed deafeningly because they were dissatisfied with the home team's poor performance and weak defense. In response, Wenger said with a little reproach: "I can understand the fans' desire for us to win, but we don't want such boos to bring extra pressure to the team. . At present, the most important thing for us is to prepare for the new season, and the result of this game is really not very important. When talking about the transfer market, Wenger said again: "We are trying to strengthen the strength of the team. The club is currently working very hard to speed up the pace of signing, but so far we still have no specific targets."

In the end, Wenger finally talked about his former beloved Henry. The French professor wanted Henry to play for Arsenal for 5 minutes at the last minute of tonight's game, but he had to give up because he was not allowed by the FIFA rules of the game and the referee on duty did not agree. I once discussed with the referee the suggestion for Henry to play for us, but the referee did not allow it, because a player could not fight for two teams in one game.

Similarly, Henry himself was very helpless about it: "This kind of rule is so weird and incredible. I wanted to play for Arsenal for a while. Such a friendly match is nothing at all. You know, I have played too many games in an Arsenal jersey. Fate is incredible. Almost every time I touch the ball and every time I run to the sidelines, the fans applaud me, so I also give back to them with applause and wonderful performance. As for the boos that the fans booed to the Arsenal team at the end of the game, Henry chose to avoid: "I didn't hear it at all, because I was so tired at the end of the game that I was chasing the ball all the game."
