Chapter 379 Premier League Battle
In August, Manchester United ushered in the last warm-up match before the season.
This year is a world-class hit year. Manchester United also went to the American Circle. Li Yu and other main players did not accompany them, which also affected the box office to a certain extent.
Many media are suspecting that the irrationality of money is likely to be an important reason why Manchester United does not have a large amount of money in the summer.
Of course, the club denies it, but it is true.
As the club with the most debt in the top 20 in the Premier League (716 million pounds at the beginning of 2010), Manchester United's influence in the transfer market in recent years is obviously not equal to that on the court. In terms of signing, only two young players, Smalling and Hernandez, were introduced. For the situation that there are not many "purchases", Ferguson is still in the same style: "I am very satisfied with the existing lineup, and there is no reason to use my brain to buy players."
Unlike the seriously injured Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez were released last summer, no main players have left the team this year. Seton, Tosic and Ziller did not have a foothold in the first team. Even among the players on loan, M-Dieuf is relatively "famous", which basically has little impact on the team. Renting young players can also get practical training opportunities. As for whether they can successfully "return" to Manchester United, it depends on your goals. The staff has further developed.
Since no main players have left the team this summer, Manchester United will continue the tactical formation of last season, and 442 and 451 will depend on the opponent and the team's own situation. Although Rooney and Li Yu have handed over good report cards last season, in view of the characteristics of Xiao Pang and Li Yu and Ferguson's tactical ideas, Manchester United will still play the overall card. The grasp of the rhythm, especially the strengthening of the speed of passing and receiving, will be required by the Lord.
Although Van der Sar is about to reach the age of 40, the Dutch veteran is still determined. As long as he is not injured, he will still be the first choice for the goalkeeper. Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic will still be the absolute main force in the defense line. Of course, Evans, Smolin and Brown can all top in time. The right-back positions Rafael and Gary Neville can be used, but it is obvious that the former is more main force in the future.
In the forward line, Ferguson has made a lot of moves, but Fletcher is the main force. Scholes, Carrick and Gibson can be rotated. On the sidelines, Nani, Valencia, Park Ji-sung and Giggs are all good cards in the hands of the Lord.
As for the forward line, Rooney and Li Yu's position is unshakable, and as for partner fans, they may prefer to see Hernandez. There are also old and young combinations such as Maceda and Owen available on the bench.
From the perspective of the transfer market, the most anticipated is still Manchester City. In addition to Manchester City, look at the top seven teams in the Premier League last season and the teams that qualified for Europe. Only two new players will definitely enter the starting lineup of the new season. One is Joe Cole of Liverpool and the other is Koscielney of Arsenal.
There is no doubt that Manchester City, which is so free to consume, is looking for an opportunity to become a league champion. And other clubs are clinging to the existing talents. However, the defending champion Manchester United still occupies the favorable terrain of defending the title compared with other teams without moving.
Chelsea is also not much different from Manchester United.
Joe Cole, Barak, Deco and Beletti were released by the four generals Ancelotti. Chelsea only introduced Benayong and Brazilian Ramirez, and the lineup seemed streamlined and stingy. But there is no change in the core of the Blues. The defense line is still strong, and Serbian defender Ivanovic seems to replace Carvalho's main position. As long as Ashley Cole does not ripple for Real Madrid, Ancelotti has almost nothing to do. Midfielders Meeker, Lampard, and the comeback Essien are extremely strong.
Failed to persuade Torres to come to Stamford Bridge, but Drogba is still great, although Warcraft is about to be 33 years old. Ancelotti will also prepare a proper rotation for him. Don't forget the support of Maluda and Anelka, who made the fastest progress in the Premier League last season. With Kalu and Strić, the front line is strong enough. And young people such as Kakuta, Bruma and Borini will also get the opportunity.
From the paper, the only thing that can compete with Chelsea is Manchester City. Mancini tried to solve the team's problem by introducing two full-backs, Jerome Boateng and Kolarov. However, it is debatable whether the introduction of Yaya-Ture will bring greater improvement to the midfielders who already have many central forwards such as Bari, De Jong and Compani.
But at least, Mancini has increased the team's thickness and sense of hierarchy, especially the experience of winning the championship. Silva can be regarded as the best sign, but the lightweight winger needs to adapt to the British ultra-high-intensity and high-speed confrontation. However, Milner's joining from Villa, coupled with wingers such as Wright Jr. and Adam Johnson, will quickly improve Manchester City's sideline attack power.
What is beneficial to Mancini is that for the first time he can have a complete pre-season preparation time and work with the players. Last season, they were 19 points behind champion Chelsea, but the goal difference was 43 goals behind, which also shows that getting tickets to the Champions League this season is a more realistic goal.
Starting from the 2010-11 season, the Premier League will implement a "25-person registration system", that is, a list of 25 players must be submitted every season, of which there must be at least 8 "local training players" after each transfer window. The so-called local training refers to the registration of the English or Welsh Football Association for 36 months or three seasons before the 21st birthday, and it is not necessary to be English. In addition to these 25 people, players under the age of 21 can play at will. If the list of 25 people is to be changed, it can only be during the transfer window, unless there is a special case of multiple goalkeeper injuries. Players who are loaned to England's lower league after signing up cannot be replaced, but they can play when they return to their home team. This rule is only for the Premier League, excluding UEFA, FA Cup and League Cup matches.
The biggest problem that this new policy will bring to the rich family is that some players have a weekly salary of 40,000 or 50,000 pounds in the club, but they are limited by the registration system and can only sit in the stands to watch the game in the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur coach Red Knapp was the first to determine that the injured centre-back Woodgate will not be included in Tottenham's 25-man list. Similarly, Manchester United's Hargreaves and Fulham's £1 million introduction of the first-value striker Andy Johnson will not have a chance to return until January next year even if he recovers from injury. The big list, because the club will no longer reserve valuable positions for players who cannot ensure normal physical condition.
The new rule is a major change to the Premier League. Portsmouth used 33 players last season, while the Premier League used an average of 27 players per club, including 12 English players and 7 under the age of 21. The new rule was originally for local talents to stand out and no longer be put down on the cold bench. But the biggest problem for the giants is that the players they have invested a lot of money to buy will not easily give up their high salaries to play for other clubs, so they can only be loaned out at the same time as paying high salaries.
Obviously, this move has the greatest impact on clubs such as Manchester City. Manchester City currently has 33 first-team players and is still introducing more powerful players, but there is no room left for stars like Bellamy and Santa Cruz, but they may not be able to find a suitable one. Maybe you can only sit in the stands for a long time. In fact, there are 37 people on Mancini's list, of which 5 are under the age of 21, but 7 of the remaining 33 are doomed to be unable to stay. Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Ireland, Robinho, Ruo and Casedo are all dangerous.
Chelsea coach Ancelotti is also facing the same problem. So far, only five players over the age of 21 in his team meet the conditions of local training, which means that if you can't add 3 players who meet the conditions in the introduction, you can only fill in the list of 22 players, or promote 3 from the reserve team to meet the conditions. The player. Liverpool's new coach Hodgson also has only six players trained locally, which is why it has been rumored that Crouch will return to Anfield recently, and Parker may also join.
Manchester United and Arsenal are the only top four teams that can laugh at the new rules. Manchester United coach Ferguson has always attached importance to the training and introduction of local teenagers. Although Arsenal has few English players, they have also worked hard to introduce young talents from other countries, so they can spend it easy.
Several other championship- contending teams are trying their best to guarantee their property this summer, but they can't take care of absorbing new players. The decline in the pound's exchange rate against the euro, the increase in England's tax rate, and the unoptimistic economic situation have made it difficult for Premier League clubs to attract the top mainland stars.
Arsenal took a lot of effort to stay in Fabregas. Maybe it's just one more year, but this is a more important decision than any signing. But the Gunners still need to buy people. Shamacher's free joining is a good deal. There is also high hope for the central defender Koscielny, but the central defender still needs to be strengthened. The most important thing is, of course, the goalkeeper. If Wenger can solve the signing problem of the back line, Arsenal has great potential to win the championship, because the offensive choice and quality are Arsenal's strengths.
Manchester United must accept some defensive adjustments to ensure that Vidic stays. The renewal of the Serbian central defender is also the best deal for Manchester United in the summer. But on the other hand, Manchester United's signing is silent. Hernandez is very promising, but an offensive organizer is also needed. Scholes can't stick to the performance of the community shield for a season. Ozil will be an important weight to win the championship.
Ferguson's winning philosophy will make Manchester United stick to the championship competition until the end, but the pressure will be on Rooney and Li Yu. Whether they can find a suitable replacement is the key to Manchester United getting rid of their fate last season. The two-wing Nani and Valencia have speed, strength and technology, but in addition to Fletcher, an engineering soldier, the middle also needs a technical midfielder to control the overall situation.
Liverpool's biggest signing this summer is not Joe Cole, but coach Hodgson. How he deals with the players left by Benitez will be of the media's greatest interest. On the training ground, Hodgson is practicing his method of brainwashing the players. He conducts high-intensity training through a variety of exercises on the team formation. Fulham players think it is boring, but they can put it in, because it is obvious that they can succeed on the field.
But can Liverpool players stick to it? In Fulham, many people are abandoned by other clubs and need to prove themselves, but in Liverpool, there is a lot of thunder, and many players like to go their own way. Migrant players like Kuit may be very adaptable to such "exercise", but like Gerard, Joe? Cole, a talented player, has previously proved that he does not seem to like the constraints of too harsh tactical systems, and Hodgson needs more complex social means to complete his career.
Although Torres was finally left behind, it is hard to imagine that Liverpool can still become a league contender this season. Perhaps playing back to the top four is the most realistic goal. In particular, the prospect of club acquisition is still unclear, and it is hard to say whether the Yankees will leave or not.
Tottenham Hotspur and Villa are two young teams. Neither Lao Ray nor O'Neal have big signing measures this summer, but the team will grow naturally. They will still become important members of the new season. However, O'Neal's sudden resignation five days before the start of the Premier League has a great negative impact on Villa. Villa's results this season must be It will slide down. Tottenham Hotspur will play in the Champions League this season, and it is a question of whether they can adapt to the multi-line battle. Villa needs to readjust without Milner, which is an opportunity for Hodgson's Liverpool to return to the top four. Their biggest opponent is Manchester City.
Everton also focuses on retaining people. He made a successful follow-up appointment with 19-year-old players Rodwell and Arteta, and welcomed Fellaini, who recovered from his injury. Moyes will not meet the 8th score last season.
From Everton, although the 9th place Birmingham has a 20-point advantage from the relegated 18th place Burnley, from the perspective of the new season, the 9th place team will be participants in the relegation battle, just making reasonable use of the rules to take the lead, or create a promotion miracle like Birmingham. Only then can it be possible to achieve the achievement of early relegation.
In an era when the economy is sluggish, even upstream clubs like Villa refuse to pay, preferring to sell people, let alone relegation teams in the middle and lower reaches. Birmingham relied on the loan of Manchester City goalkeeper Hart last season to introduce a double central defender in the Championship to create a beautiful defense, but it is hard to say whether it can continue next season. Fulham lost Hodgson and Mark Hughes took the position. He only took care of one front. There is not much problem of relegation, and it should be steadily promoted. Bolton, who won Petrov, will also surpass the 14th place last season.
As for teams such as Blackburn and Sunderland, the head coach relies on his relationship with the giant coach Ferguson and others to rent some powerful young players, which is also a practical way for them to solve the lack of funds. Manchester City's excessive redundancy will be the focus of the relegation team's pursuit, but they can only rent, and the ** power to the big players is not as good as the midstream team, but there is relatively no threat, which is also a great advantage.
Of the three promoted horses, Blackpool is the most mysterious, but it is also the most popular for relegation. As the sixth place in the Championship last season, he barely squeezed into the promotion playoffs, and finally unexpectedly passed two levels in a row to grab the last promotion ticket. At this time a year ago, people were still speculating whether Blackpool would be relegated in the Championship. . Since the establishment of the Premier League, only one sixth team in the Football League Championship has successfully relegated, which was West Ham United in the 2005-06 season. Therefore, a year later, Blackpool's greatest achievement if it can survive.
The opening of the new season of the Premier League is approaching, and the four giants are also working hard for the first round of the battle this weekend. After a summer's rest, although most of the star players have experienced the fatigue of the World Cup, their physical condition is finally satisfactory. Several injuries such as Cech are also counting down to the comeback, and there will be no shortage of star stars in the first round of the Premier League.
Ferguson claimed that Carrick, who was going to take a two-month vacation, started in the Community Shield Cup, so the British media joked that the injury list broadcast by Manchester United was not trustworthy. However, Ferdinand, who is still recovering, is unlikely to play in the first round of the league. Anderson has to rest for about half a month because of a car crash. It is still unknown whether the old injured Hargreaves can enter the 25-man list in the league. Raphael and Fabio, who had food poisoning, are fine, and the front line is the most neat position for Manchester United. The five strikers are in good shape and goal rate.
The biggest loss is the main goalkeeper Cech, who missed the warm-up match because of the injured Czech goalkeeper. Without this goalkeeper, Ancelotti can only choose between two substitutes with a large gap between Ilario and Turnbull and Cech. Fortunately, Cech has recovered quickly, and there should be no problem with his comeback in the past two weeks. On the front line, Drogba has recovered from his injury, but whether to play or not depends on An Shuai's tactical choice. After the operation, the recovery period of the defense general Bosinwa has been delayed again and again. It is believed that it will take about two weeks, and the main central defender Alex is also recovering from injuries. The Brazilian has the possibility of playing in the first round, otherwise Ivanovic will continue to change his position. Put it in the middle.
Arsenal's midfield sling is very serious. In several central avant-garde, Song, Diabi and De Nielsen's muscle injuries are all recovering from muscle injuries. Three of them did not play in a series of warm-up matches before. Fabregas, who has just returned to the team to swear allegiance, is also because he has not been able to meet the standard of the game because he has not returned to training for a short time. Ramsey is still recovering after surgery, and there are few people available in Wenger. Van Persie has not been called up by the Dutch team and is currently making every effort to resume preparations for the league. However, due to Chamak's recent good condition, Wenger may not recruit Robin to the list in the first game.
Due to playing in the UEFA Europa League qualification, Liverpool started earlier than the other top three this season. The World Cup internationals in the current lineup have played official matches except for Torres and Kuite Babel, who have reached the finals. The team has no major injuries, and Hodgson has already promised that the Spanish Golden Boy will play in the first round of Liverpool.
All teams are preparing for the game. Li Yu's status will affect Manchester United's record, which is not a secret for many people. Next, Manchester United's warm-up match against Lazio before the Community Shield Cup has become a key test match to test Li Yu's condition. At the same time, this is also Li Yu's first time before the new season. Trafford is worth looking forward to.
