Chapter 478 Vampire sequelae

At the same time, he came to the 37th round of the league. Manchester City Yaya Toure scored twice, and the master Manchester City got 3 points as he wished. Before Manchester United played, he rushed to the first place in the table!

Even in the subsequent game, Scholes and Mata's goals helped the Red Devils end the two-round defeat, but the gap between the eight goal difference was like a gap between the Manchester brothers. Fortunately, Manchester United got 3 points and maintained a 2-point advantage, which gave Manchester City's goal advantage. Ben has no meaning!

In the battle that must be won, Manchester United did not show the courage and magic to challenge the limit. They didn't even have the courage to jump to the opposite side of the sky. In the face of the desireless Swansea, Manchester United's performance not only pulled off the last so-called champion's cover, but also made Manchester City completely rid of it. The burden of the goal difference, the Blue Moon Legion not only has to defeat the opponent in the last round, but also has to expect a draw or loss from Manchester United to pull Manchester United from the throne of the king.

Compared with the two games of the Manchester Brothers in this round, Manchester United's style is obviously more stable, the passing routine is clear, and the player's running position is reasonable, but the ** of Manchester City players and the star effect at the critical moment make Ancelotti's team ashamed, which is the gap between the two teams today.

Ancelotti's **, as well as the presence of Scors, Carrick, Giggs and other veterans, make Manchester United always maintain an experienced tactical routine, but the individual player's ability and hunger for the championship are far less than their opponents in the same city.

After Manchester City defeated Newcastle, the goal difference between the two teams once reached 10. In the last round, Manchester City, with a terrible home record of 17 wins and 1 draw in the league, will sit at the Etihad Stadium against the Queen's Park Rangers, the worst away record in the league. There is almost no suspense in taking all three points. In this case, it has become natural for Manchester United to choose a safe way to score points. As long as there are three points, it can also ensure the championship of the league.

There has never been a season when the final crown of the Premier League is as ups and downs as this level. According to the rules of the past, the first place has already established its advantage, and at least it does not need to be finalize in the last round.

The competition in the Premier League has become more and more fierce. Even if Manchester United gets the final laurel, it is just a matter of worthwhile. Judging from the lineup, Manchester United has no such a hegemonic defeat, and its dominance is declining. However, the local tycoons led by Manchester City and Chelsea can definitely hit the throne of the league.

Manchester City's difference lies in the championship background, while what Chelsea lacks is stability.

Arsenal has been working hard for the Champions League in recent years, but the team can act as a spoiler to influence the final attribution of the championship.

Ancelotti said meaningfully in an interview: "Our financial resources can't compete with Manchester City. They can buy all the players they want, which is beyond the reach. We will definitely make a move this summer. There may be two or three, but we will give priority to introducing young potential stocks to cultivate, which is our consistent transfer strategy.

However, will such a transfer strategy be a good one? The success of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo does not represent the universality of young players. In recent years, have Manchester United bought fewer potential stocks such as Anderson, Obeitan and Beibei?

But now the foundation of the team is still the old ministers before the American came in. Among them, Rooney, a player of the year, also chose to be sold this season. Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Evra and Ferdinand have all reached their peaks. It is difficult to continue the performance of the top level.

Young players such as Phil Jones and Welbeck are worth looking forward to, but in this young team, they are too early to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and as a result, they are exposed to their frizziness and immaturity.

New player Mata may be a figure worth looking forward to, but Spain does not seem to have found the rhythm of playing in the Premier League this season, but Mata has left a deep impression in many games. He is definitely a player with the potential to revitalize Manchester United midfield.

Where is Li Yu? At the absolute core, Manchester United is now dominated by him for most of their attacks. Without the hard support of Manchester United No. 9, Manchester United will not appear in the championship group this season, and Manchester City will compete for the championship in the last round!

It's just that Li Yu has only one after all. When Manchester United's overall strength declines, it is too rash to have only one person to play.

The defensive midfield is in urgent need of transformation. Whether they can win the final championship or not, this is what Manchester United must do!

Manchester United's legendary midfielder Roy Keane pointed out mercilessly in the Sun's column: "Manchester United's young people do not perform well, and those old players should be criticized."

Now Manchester United lacks a leader who will never give up. He can inject iron will into the team and the blood that suffocates his opponents.

Maybe Phil Jones, a young man who is regarded by many as the future captain of the England team, can inherit the mantle of Cantona and Keane, but don't forget that he is only 20 years old, and letting him support the backbone of the world's largest club is definitely the best interpretation of the word fueling. There is no doubt that the culprit for all this is the team's vampire owner, the Glazer family.

Li Yu is domineering in the game, but there is still some lack of leadership temperament. There is also an innate shortcoming, that is, he is not a player of a football power in the traditional sense, which also affects Li Yu's establishment of prestige in the team to some extent.

Fans also expect that Li Yu will take more responsibilities in the game and show his corresponding dominance and leadership temperament. If Li Yu becomes the new leader of Manchester United, it is likely to mean that Manchester United has entered another era.

At the same time, looking at the role that Yaya Toure, David Silva and Aguero have played in Manchester City, it is hard to imagine that Ancelotti is not attracted to this kind of hot startle of the year.

But Ancelotti, who repeatedly emphasizes that he is an internal dig and a rational buyer, obviously does not have the generous background like Mancini.

Ancelotti pointed out: "The team's summer transfer depends entirely on the overall plan."

Obviously, this plan refers to the budget. However, just looking at the sudden drop of the rumor candidates for the central avant-back position from 35 million Sneid and 40 million Modric to 7 million, you can get a glimpse of Manchester United's transfer budget next season.

In this way, no matter how bad Manchester United's record is, it can't awaken the conscience of the American boss. The UEFA Champions League group stage is not enough, the League Cup is not enough to be humiliated by Crystal Palace, the FA Cup is not eliminated by Liverpool, the UEFA Europa League Cup is not double-killed by Athletic Bilbao, and the Premier League was almost Manchester City's reversal is still not enough. Seeing that a four-in-one season will be staged, the Glazer family only cares about how to expand the team's influence in Asia and how to earn more yen, which is definitely a more desperate tragedy than the team losing all honors.

While the last round of the league was about to be played, Ancelotti realized that it was necessary to strengthen the lineup. If we fail to have an accident in the last round, Manchester United is likely to usher in the fifth big four empty season in 23 years. Ancelotti absolutely does not want to see Manchester City suppress Manchester United for a long time, so he intends to introduce strong aid this summer. According to the Daily Express, Ancelotti's transfer budget this summer is as high as 100 million pounds.

21-year-old Lille offensive midfielder Azar, 26-year-old Tottenham core Modric, 27-year-old Athletic Bilbao center Lorent and 23-year-old Valencia left-back Alba are all in the eye of Ancelotti.

On the front line, Owen, who is due to Manchester this summer, is likely to leave the team automatically, and the young player Maceda is also likely to be sold. Anderson, the winner of the 2008 European Golden Boy Award, also left the team early, and Fabio is likely to be loaned to Benfica.

Last summer, Ancelotti spent nearly 60 million pounds to sign Mata, Phil Jones and De Gea.

According to the Daily Star, Ancelotti has told Manchester United executives that the lineup needs fresh blood, and Manchester United CEO David Gill has promised a large transfer fee to the Italians.

Ancelotti wants to find a successor for 33-year-old Ferdinand. The Daily Star said that Italians may even offer 25-year-old Pike to return to Old Trafford. The 27-year-old Sneid has always been a player of interest to Manchester United. He failed to buy Sneid last summer, and he may offer to buy the Dutchman again this summer.

24-year-old Argentine midfielder Gaitan, 23-year-old Dortmund Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa and 22-year-old Icelandic offensive midfielder Si Goodsen are also on the signing list of Ancelotti. In the home game against Swansea, fans in the stands put up banners, hoping that Ancelotti can acquire Si Goodsen.

The difficulty of poaching Pike from Barcelona can be imagined. According to the Daily Mail, French defender Mbiwa hinted that he wants to play in the Premier League next season.

The 22-year-old Mbiwa is 1.84 meters tall. He is the captain of Montpellier, the leader of Ligue 1 this season. He mainly works as a central defender and is also qualified for the left and right full-backs, and can even make a guest appearance in the defensive midfield position. Mbiwar's contract with Montpellier expires next summer, so it only takes about 7 million pounds to take him away. Because he refused to renew his contract with the team, Montpellier planned to sell him this summer. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle are all interested in Mbiwar.

In an interview with Canalplus, Mbiwa said that playing for Manchester United was a dream. Playing for Manchester United will give me great satisfaction, which means that my dream may become a reality. Arsenal is also a rich family.

In the midfield position, the Daily Mail said that Manchester United is considering signing Porto winger James Rodriguez, who was speculated to 25 million pounds. 20-year-old Rodriguez, who is 1.80 meters tall, is a Colombian international and is known as "South American Cristiano Ronaldo". He has said that he can't resist the transfer to Manchester United **.

Since he moved from Banfield to Porto two years ago, Rodriguez's performance is impressive. This season, Rodriguez scored 12 goals in 22 Portuguese Premier League games for Porto. In 2003, Manchester United bought Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon for a transfer fee of £12.5 million, and finally sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for the world's first transfer fee of £80 million in the summer of 2009.

It is a fact that the transfer market price is inflated. The strategy of young players is also in line with the healthy development of the team, but a champion team cannot lack stars. Ancelotti also recognizes this: "If you want to succeed, you still need to chase high-value players in the transfer market.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored more goals in Real Madrid than he played. At that time, we thought it was not a bad deal to sell him for 80 million pounds, but if Real Madrid knew that Cristiano Ronaldo would become so good, they would probably pay 160 million pounds. For Real Madrid, the purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo is a fantastic acquisition. Maybe we should have asked Real Madrid for 800 million pounds at that time.

Ancelotti's words were full of sadness and helplessness.

You should know that before the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, the former coach Lord had always been a popular figure in the transfer market. From Gary Perister, Andy Cole to Peron and Ferdinand, all of them broke the transfer record of the Premier League at that time.

In addition, Ferguson has had cost-effective deals like Fannie and Cristiano Ronaldo, but since Cristiano Ronaldo bought Real Madrid for 80 million pounds in 2009, Manchester United's ambition in the transfer market has been much smaller, and there has been no signing of stars of the same level.

Last summer, Ancelotti took over the team. Although Manchester United also spent about 50 million pounds to introduce Mata, De Gea and Phil Jones, although the performance of these three players this season is not worth it, they are not as irreplaceable as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Please don't forget that these people have a premise for their transfers, that is, Rooney's transfer price is high. You know, in 2007, Manchester United had seven people selected as the best team of the season at the same time, which is very telling. From 7 to 1 person, it is an indisputable fact that the Red Devils now lacks top stars.

The reason why Ferguson gradually changed from the heroic of throwing a lot of money to the current thrifty thrift, and then to the transfer income in the Ancelotti period, the root of which lies in the stingy of the Glazer family.

The data can tell you everything: the Glazer family raised 575 million pounds to acquire Manchester United in 2005. From the date of the acquisition to December 31, 2011, Manchester United paid 4957.5 million pounds just to repay the interest owed to the Glazer family's loan.

Before the arrival of the Glazer family, Manchester United did not have any debts, and now there are still 440 million pounds of arrears in Manchester United's account. No wonder the team is shrinking in signing. In contrast, from taking over Manchester City in 2008 to May 2011, the Mansour consortium spent about 800 million pounds, and promised to invest another 1 billion pounds in the future to attract and build new training bases.

One is for the sake of the club regardless of cost, and the other only cares about using the club as a money-making machine. This is really nothing but a shock.

At the beginning of the last round of the league, Manchester United is trying to inject vitality into the team with good news.

On the other hand, Manchester City is the opposite.

Manchester City head coach Mancini said that he has 100% confidence in his players and firmly believes that they will not miss the championship opportunity that they have already grasped in their own hands.

In the last round of the Premier League this Sunday, Manchester City only needs to beat the Queens Park Rangers at home to secure the Premier League championship. A month ago, Manchester City was eight points behind Manchester United. In this regard, Mancini said that they will not miss the hard-won opportunity.

"I trust my players 100%. They know that everything is under their control," Mancini said. "They have been working very hard and have tried their best in every game throughout the season. Now they have this great opportunity. In the past two games against Manchester United and Newcastle, they are very strong and in a good mood. I think it will be the same on Sunday.

The last time Manchester City won England's top league title was in 1968, and Mancini knew what this championship would mean for Manchester's blue side. I understand. We haven't won the league championship for 44 years, and in this city, our neighbors win the championship almost every year, which is very difficult for our fans.

"I hope I can change this situation. The fans are very happy. They hope we can win another game. This is a key battle for Manchester City, because this is the first time in a long time, and we hope to win the championship for the fans.

Ferguson, the former manager of Manchester United, once commented that Mancini has a typical Italian style, that is, defense-oriented, while Manchester United put offense first. Mancini responded, "I agree with what he said. I'm Italian, and I can't change my mind. He is a Scotsman and the best coach in the world. I agree with what he said.

In this game, Mancini will face Queens Park Rangers coach Mark Hughes, who was the former manager of Manchester City and was replaced by Mancini in 2009. It is said that Hughes is still worried about this, saying that Mancini's coaching is an "deutative" style. Mancini said, "Hughes is a good coach. He knows the Premier League better than I do. I agree with him."

"My feud with Hughes is not important. We are not familiar with it, but Sunday is Manchester City vs. Queen's Park Ranger, not me to Hughes. For me, Queen's Park is an excellent team. They should not be downstream. They will try their best to avoid relegation, so I think it will be a difficult game. One team fights for the championship and the other fights to avoid relegation. Such a game will be difficult for us, even against Newcastle and Manchester United. Difficult. And Manchester United's opponent Sunderland has no desire. I'm sure they will try their best, but they do have no desire.

Recently, Manchester City has won a winning streak, catching up with the hope of winning the championship by 8 points behind Manchester United. Mancini said: "It is a good moment for us to be 8 points behind, because all the pressure is gone, and we can play freely. And even if we are 8 points behind, we still maintain our faith. We know that if we can catch up with 3 points before the Manchester derby, then we will have a chance.

"In the first six months of the season, we played very well and played the best football in the league, but it was impossible to play like this for a whole year. We had problems for a month. It was easy to lose the ball and not score goals, but this is a normal fluctuation."

Manchester United fans said that Manchester City bought the league championship by money, and Mancini said: "All the teams that have won the Premier League have spent a lot of money. Obviously, if you have money to spend, you will have more chances to win, but it is not always easy. If you have money, you can choose players who have the ability to play for your team. Every time people talk about Manchester City, they talk about Manchester City can spend money, but if you buy good players, you can play well, but it is not easy to win.

"I think Manchester City is now one of the top teams in England and Europe. If Manchester City can win the championship, it is possible that we can do the same thing in the next three or four years, but the most important thing now is to win the first championship and then strive to defend the title."
