Chapter 445 Season Prospects
After the wonderful performance in the Community Shield competition, Nani believes that the best time has come. After playing the Community Shield game, Nani rushed to the Portuguese national team to participate in the game against Luxembourg, replacing Cristiano Ronaldo for half-time to help the Portuguese team beat the opponent 5-0.
The new season is about to begin. Nani is already confident. He hopes to start in the first round of the Premier League against West Bromwich Albion.
According to Manchester United's official website, Nani refused the invitation from Italy this summer and thought that staying at Manchester United would make him better. In an interview with RTPN, Nani said, "I think it's great. This is the best derby (with Manchester City). We were 0:2 behind, but in the end, we overt overt them." Nani said frankly that this is the best game he has played so far: "Our whole team has played very well, and I have also scored two goals. I am very happy. I think it is the best game I have ever played and helped the team achieve the final victory. I know that some big clubs are interested in me. It feels good, but Manchester United is the best club in the world, and I really want to stay here now.
After Manchester United's pre-season and Community Shield match, Manchester United's young midfielder Tom Cleverley suddenly went from obscurity to being known to everyone. Many people compared him to the hero in the movie One Ball for a Famous.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Martinez, the head coach of Cleverley's loan to Wigan, believes that Cleverley's success is definitely not accidental: "We are very satisfied with his performance during the loan, and he is very important to us. This is not only because of his talent on the field, but also because of his role model for our players. He is very strict with his daily requirements and his personality is also very good. If you ask anyone from Wigan, they will remember Cleverley's performance. There is no doubt that he is a special English player.
After Cleverley quickly became popular, people began to discuss more about the staff matching of Manchester United midfield in the new season. However, no matter how it is matched, there must be no "Glassman" Hargreaves.
The Daily Telegraph said that Hargreaves, who is "out of fate" with Manchester United, may become an opponent of Manchester United in the Premier League. Hodgson, the head coach of West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League, believes that Hargreaves' knee injury is "no big deal". Hodgson met with West Brom's technical director Dan Ashworth and the team's team doctor with Hargreaves last Tuesday. Hodgson revealed: "Hargreaves did not have any strict medical examination, but our team doctor Gillette did do some tests on him."
After the meeting, Hodgson sent an invitation to Hargreaves: "We have done the test, and we think there is no problem with his knee and he can continue to play. If he is willing to play for our team, it will be very wonderful." The Independent said that Hodgson still has some doubts about the use of Hargreaves. Hodgson said: "It is debatable whether we can provide him (Hager) with a contract of more than a year. We have expressed our sincerity. I don't know if he is interested in our offer.
After another period of disgracedness in Liverpool, Hodgson found a sense of success in the coach position of West Brom.
The Daily Mirror said that Hodgson praised Ancelotti, who replaced his friend Ferguson's "Manchester United Empire", which will make it bigger and stronger: "I think Manchester United is difficult to be defeated in the new season, and Ancelotti's empire is getting stronger and stronger."
The 2011-12 season of the Premier League is about to ignite the beacon. After two years of "challious times", with the economic recovery and the continued inflow of funds from various countries, the Premier League will reappear.
The most obvious example is that Manchester United and Liverpool, which have been relatively silent in the transfer market in the past two years, have invested 52 million and 47 million pounds respectively. Coupled with Manchester City and Chelsea, it can be said that there are six teams that have the strength to compete for the championship in the new season. So, in the 20th year of the Premier League, can the Red Devils, who have surpassed, win the 20th top league championship in the club's history?
In the past, we have also talked about the team's unprecedented four consecutive championships in the 2009-10 season, so the people should look forward to the five consecutive championships in the new season. Six Manchester United players left at once this summer, with the biggest impact on the retirement of Van der Sar and Scholes, but the new coach Ancelotti knows that they are the fastest in the transfer market.
After the test of the Community Shield, two newcomers, Mata and Phil Jones, as well as Cliveli and Werbeck, who returned on loan, performed well. The whole team seemed vigorous, and the average age of the players who completed the big reversal in the second half was less than 23 years old. However, Manchester United's own goal is very high. They want to win the Premier League + Champions League, but the position of the central defender is still weak. Giggs can only make occasional guest appearances. The main player Fletcher and Carrick have more injuries, and Cleverly is too young to attack. If Sneid can come, his ability and experience are expected to help the team improve.
20-year-old goalkeeper De Gea lacks the experience of playing in the Champions League and representing national adult teams. It is inevitable to " pay some tuition" in the long season, which will put pressure on Manchester United to improve their away record.
Manchester United won only 5 of the 19 away games last season, just like the relegated Blackpool. Winning the championship depends on the club's 60-year-old 15-game winning streak at home, setting a single-season record in the Premier League, and losing only two points in 19 home games in the whole season. Old Trafford's madness is unlikely to be replicated. Therefore, the team must win more away from home, and in addition to the "not hard enough waist" mentioned above, the goalkeeper position is unfavorable for defense.
De Gea has never had the opportunity to learn and observe around Van der Sar. He needs to be strengthened in dealing with high-altitude balls and long-range shots. The deputy goalkeeper Lindgard is also a newcomer to the Premier League. It can be seen that Vidic and Ferdinand will lead several rookies on his shoulders.
Manchester United's midfield attack group is the most powerful of the championship team. Mata has the most passes in the sports battle last season, and his handling of positioning is also good. In addition to the assists Wang Nani and Valencia, the opportunities obtained by teammates in the penalty area will be very secure.
Maybe Li Yu wants more withdrawal to take the ball without Rooney, but this may also be a good thing, which may lead to a decline in the number of goals scored by Little Peas, but there is no need to worry.
There is no need to question Li Yu's ability. More activity space will not make him unable to find the feeling of shooting, and the goal will not decline!
In addition, Owen, Welbeck and other fronts will provide deployment. Which set is the strongest attack lineup? This will bring happy troubles to Ancelotti. Manchester United's 25-year accumulation is an unparalleled advantage of other rivals. No matter how complex and changeable the Premier League championship situation is, even if it is changed to Ancelotti, Manchester United will be the biggest favorite to win the championship in the new season. As long as there is no big problem at the end of the defense, they have great hope to defend their title.
Manchester City: How to improve the performance of strong confrontation? Aguero is the most anticipated!
Since September 19 last year, Manchester City has been in the top four in the Premier League. In the end, it ranked third after Chelsea with only nine goal difference, becoming the first team to break the traditional "four major" monopoly of the top three since the 2002-03 season. Their biggest gain last season was to get the coveted right to participate in the UEFA Champions League and win the FA Cup. The second is that Mancini stabilized the coach position by completing these two indicators and avoided the club's shaking the coaching team due to inconsistent investment and return.
In the end, the main problem with the difference of 9 points from Manchester United is that the performance of the strong is not ideal, and the traditional "four major" eight games, Manchester City only won two (all in the first six rounds) and two draws and four losses, especially in the later three consecutive away games to Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. The pre-season Community Shield 2:0 lead was reversed and reminded Mancini again that the pressure resistance of the defense line is insufficient, and the double midfielder task is very heavy. Milner, who is worth 24 million pounds, is not a player who can take the lead in the middle. It is necessary to find another defensive midfielder like Las Diarra.
Of course, Yaya Toure and David Silva, who performed best in the last season of Community Shield, failed to play at the normal level, and the number one striker Tevez was not present.
Mancini has formulated a very stable structure for the team. Before the closing of the transfer door in September and during the winter transfer period, they can also add strong reinforcements for positions and injuries, which is their unique advantage.
Tevez scored 40% of the team's goals last season. If he leaves the team, Manchester City may be a little troublesome at the beginning of the season. But once he stays, judging from the professional spirit reflected in the past court, Tevez must be fully committed, and the team's frontal attack will be very terrible. Dzeko has already shown signs of recovery, and there is life at the foot of the header; Aguero is their most lacking killer in the penalty area. The running position is erratic and concise. Behind him are Toure and Silva, who have worked together in La Liga, and have the opportunity to become a strong contender of the Premier League Golden Boot Award. Of course, the unstable factor is Balotelly, who is called "brain-damaged" by fans. Once the chances of playing are reduced, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause.
Manchester City has enough substitute depth, and the players generally have rich experience in European games. The Champions League dragged down the league encountered by Tottenham Hotspur last season should not appear on them. In addition to trying to improve his team's strong record, Mancini can only wait for Manchester United to make mistakes and see if they can take advantage of it. By May next year, I'm afraid the score gap between them and Manchester United will not be more than 9 points.
Chelsea: The three major problems that determine the fate of the Blues have troubled the young coach. It will be a transitional season for the Blues. Ancelotti's failure to defend his title is due to the large age structure in the team, the long absence of the two absolute main players, Drogba and Lampard, and the reason why the boss Abu's appointment with assistants Wilkins and Torres did not work without reason. Relatively favorable this year is that there is no "World Cup sequelae", and the status of several veterans is guaranteed.
Among the "Shuangsi", the first is Torres, who spent 50 million pounds a month to introduce. In the summer, he hired a personal physical coach to "open a small stove". In the past six months, the tacit understanding with his teammates has been increasing. Can the Spanish striker kick out the "value wave" and achieve more than 15 joints. A goal in the game?
Who will be his best partner? This is a difficult problem that Chelsea urgently needs to solve. However, the eye-catching Sturridge who returned from the loan? Another problem, including the original Drogba, Anelka and Xiaokalu, also makes the Blues' attack group face too many shooters and insufficient wingers. For the time being, only Maluda and Benayong are good at creating opportunities on the sidelines.
The most important thing in "Shuangsi" must be the young coach Boas. Last season, he led Porto to win four championships, which is enough to prove that he has a coaching talent comparable to the Magic Bird.
Abu's 13 million pounds of renunification for him may be the most "value-for-money" investment in recent years. Because he once served as an assistant when Mourinho led the Blues, he knew the situation of the club and the Premier League teams very carefully, and there was no need to worry about the adaptation process. Chelsea conceded only one goal in the pre-season warm-up match, which is enough to show that Boas is steady.
However, Essien's knee injury relapsed before the season, and he can only count on Mikkel, who has proved his ability to be insufficient in the strong competition many times. Modric, who the team's quotation again, is also an organized central forward. Does he have confidence in Ramirez or Barcelona young player Romeu? This position can be said to be the third problem for the Blue Army.
Chelsea's central axis composed of Cech-Terry Lampard Drogba is the most stable in all teams. Boas led the team in the first year and estimated that Abu would not be too demanding on the Champions League record. If he focused more on the league, the Blues would definitely stay in the ranks of the championship group and wait for the opportunity.
Arsenal: When can we solve the persistent problem of defense in Wenger's chess?
There is still hope for the fourth-tier championship before the end of February, and the defeat in the League Cup final is once again the tragedy of the crash. Is it going to be 7 years without a crown?" Can the defense line stop dragging back? In the pre-season, the Emirates Cup opponents scored a total of six goals and broke through the Gunner's gate three times. The rumored Jagilka and Gary Cahill are still in the quotation stage, and Samba, who is generally considered to be the most suitable for the team, is waiting to be summoned. Chamberlain, a 17-year-old young player, has just been introduced by the club for 12-15 million pounds. When the most worrying position has not been replenished, the news of the injury again came from Wilmaren, who was injured for most of the season. As for Xiaofa, who has been in turmoil all summer, Nasri has no definite news. It can be said that this is the most unclear and demoralized season for gunmen in recent years. No wonder the fans say that they can't understand Wenger's chess.
The team has too many unclear factors, which are bound to affect the trend of the league. I was worried that Arsenal would lose on the "runaway line" this time, so I didn't include them in the championship, but wanted to "preserving the fourth". In the second half of the last season, the 16 rounds of undefeated were almost supported by Van Persie. Shamacher, Ashavin and Nasri basically did not play well in the second half of the season. The new star Gervinho can inject some vitality into the attack line, and the burden on the shoulders of the young player Wilshire will be heavier. Generally speaking, the Gunners may be able to withstand the departure of Xiaofa and Nasri, but they can't accept the impact of the lack of strong support from the defense. If the team still can't make a difference in the League Cup and the FA Cup this season, I'm afraid that doubts about Wenger inside and outside the club will shake his 15-year-old position.
Liverpool: There are still two people in the lineup to fully specialize in domestic events. Looking forward to the harvest. In the winter transfer period of last month, Darglish's boss Henry has invested more than 100 million pounds to buy players, but Liverpool has hoarded too many central forwards, but in left and central back positions. The strength is not enough, so there will be more news about the transfer of Reds players in the future. If Joe Cole, Aquillani and others can leave the team and find the rumored Jose Enrique and Scott Dane, the team's lineup can be said to be more complete.
Last season, Liverpool unfortunately ushered in a disastrous start. After 22 rounds, Dalglish's appointment as "firefighting" became a turning point. The club re-condensed, achieving a leap from 4 points away from the relegation zone to the last four points away from the European seat, and took the top in the traditional "Four Civil Wars".
Among the new players, Charlie Adam and Henderson can reduce the impact of Gerrard's injury from time to time, and Downing can also solve the long-term lack of left-fielder. The most favored Suarez will usher in a grand season. The biggest unknown on the attack line is center Andy Carroll.
After the arrival of the winter transfer period, he suffered a knee injury and has been unable to play out of his state in Newcastle in the first half of the season. The pre-season match against Valencia is "ferocious". What kind of personnel match can activate this high striker who makes the opponent's defender extremely headache in sports and positioning tactics? I'm afraid Liverpool will still need some time to run in. At the same time, the vice captain Carragher on the back line has obviously begun to decline. The substitutes for the two full-backs are still the weakest in the giants at present. It is no accident that he lost three goals in each warm-up match.
Liverpool has missed the European game for the first time in nearly 11 years, specializing in domestic leagues and cups may win trophies. The outlook for the new season is optimistic, but it will take more time to expect a strong recovery. Although it has the ability to pose a threat to any championship team, it lacks stability, and it is more realistic to target the "fourth" in the league.
The biggest problem for Tottenham Hotspur's last season was that the striker was the dumb fire. The two strikers Crouch and VP scored a total of 8 goals. Fortunately, they were supported by Vander Feth and Bell in the first half of the season. In the final stage, Pavlyuchenko found a feeling, otherwise the fifth ranking might not be maintained. After Lao Lei took office, he has invested a lot in the transfer market. Now he has to live a "thrifty" life and strive to keep the core Modric. The Premier League is in full swing, and the water is rising. They take care of the UEFA Europa League without strengthening their strength. It should be difficult to pose too much threat to the championship group. However, Tottenham Hotspur has many stars and a stable lineup. The competition for the fourth place in the Premier League with Arsenal and Liverpool in the new season will be extremely fierce.
As for relegation, the three promoted horses in the new season may be the QPR team, which has returned to the Premier League for the first time in 15 years, which is more competitive. Norwich and Swansea have a large home and away contrast and weak defense. These two teams will work with Wolves, Wigan, Bolton and others to stay in the Premier League.
