Future King

Chapter 446 Newcomer, New Handsome, New Change

Whether Arsenal fans like it or not, Nasri finally left. After Nasri left, the biggest pressure was undoubtedly Arsenal coach Wenger, who had no crown for six years and weighed on his heart like a mountain. But why did Wenger finally agree to the deal? Yesterday, Wenger made an explanation through Arsenal's official website.

Wenger said bluntly that the psychological and financial reasons are the main reason why he left Nasri: "The rules of the football world are like this. A player may be worth a lot of money today, but he may become worthless after six months. We were forced to make such a decision (to release Nasri) mainly for psychological and financial reasons. Although Wenger is in the name of a professor, he admits that he is a realist: "I am a realist, so I have no illusions. Transfer) is an indispensable part of a modern football player. It's not a coincidence that so many players landed in Manchester City.

Wenger revealed that Nasri did not refuse to play in the Champions League against Udinese: "Nasri participated in the training on Tuesday morning, but I knew (to sell him) before the training, but he did not know that he still came to the training. I never doubt Nasri's loyalty and his professionalism. If I really tell him that you need to participate in this game, I think he will work as hard as last Saturday, but I can't ask him like that.

Wenger concluded: "Just as we don't want to lose Fabregas, it's reality that forces us to accept it. We want to extend Nasri's contract, and we don't want to lose him. But if a player doesn't have much time in the team, what promises can you make? This is the question you have to answer.

Wenger, who is in Italy, is determined to strengthen his lineup, but the most important thing now is to ensure the promotion of the Champions League. Wenger said, "Now we have to consider tomorrow's promotion first. We can only rely on the current players. I think they are good enough." Wenger doesn't think his team is useless in the transfer market. He also admits that the midfield must be strengthened: "We work very hard in the transfer market. We bought Chamberlain. You can see that he is a very great player, and so is Gervinio, but we hope to get more excellent players. We are now There is a shortage of people in the midfield, that's what we want to strengthen.

Wenger believes that Nasri's departure will not affect other players: "People always have this kind of worry, but this is not an excuse. You should know that this situation may also have a positive impact on the team. If you are strong enough, it can increase the cohesion of the team. You know you have to work harder, which is what you want to learn from strong players.

Although Wenger said that his players would not be affected by Nasri's departure, Flinpone, the grumpy midfielder in Arsenal, said bluntly that Nasri was too greedy, and his transfer to Manchester City was entirely for the weekly salary of 175,000 pounds.

19-year-old Flinpont said on his Twitter: "Money is the source of all evil." Wilshere, who was recovering from his wounds, said goodbye to Nasri through Twitter: "Good luck to my good buddy Nasri! I have learned a lot from him. He is a world-class player, and we will miss him!" After Wilshere sent the message, Flinpuff replied, "Forget it, Jack." It seems that Arsenal players are dissatisfied with Nasri's departure.

At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur finally got what he wanted. They reached an agreement with Manchester City last night to loan Togo center Adeba for one season.

According to the Sun, the Daily Mirror and other British media, Adebayor will participate in Tottenham's physical examination today. Previously, Tottenham's coach Red Knapp had been committed to introducing Adebayor, and now he has finally succeeded.

It is disclosed that Tottenham will pay a large part of Adeba's weekly salary of about 170,000, which will reduce Manchester City's salary burden. In Manchester City, the forward line is already overcrowded, and the Togolese have long been the target of Mancini's cleansing.

However, according to the agreement, Adebayo will not be able to play against the home team against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. At the same time, Tottenham's Crouch may leave the team in the near future, and Fulham and Queen's Park are interested in him.

This transfer is very cost-effective for Tottenham Hotspur. It not only gained a strong center, but also hit North London's rival Arsenal. Lao Lei had previously said that Adebayo would definitely be welcomed to Tottenham Hotspur, because Arsenal fans hated him.

" Arsenal fans hate him, so Tottenham fans will love him. He makes the gunman unhappy, so he can become a hero here." After Adebayo moved to Manchester City, he scored in a 4-2 game against Arsenal. When he was celebrating, he ran to most of the court and rushed to the Gunners fans to provoke. At that time, Lao Lei was the only one who defended his behavior. He said that he understood the behavior of the Togolese. After being booed and insulted for so long, this explosive reaction was very Reasonable.

However, although Tottenham Hotspur got Adebayo, according to the regulations of the Premier League, the Togolese front line cannot play for Tottenham Hotspur in the second round of the league between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United!

Manchester United will compete in the second round of the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. In the face of Tottenham Hotspur, who just won a 5-0 away victory in the UEFA Europa League, the Red Devils fans are most worried about whether goalkeeper David De Gea will make mistakes again like the first two games.

But Red Devils coach Ancelotti is still full of confidence in the Spanish young player.

In a pre-match interview with Sky Sports and other media, the Italian head said: "There is no problem between me and him. We have never mentioned the media's criticism of West Brom after the First World War."

Ancelotti defended De Gea: "In the game against West Brom, he had no problem handling the pass. He just didn't get protection. As you can see, he was elbowed, but the referee did not blow a free kick. When you are not protected, you will definitely be disappointed; but playing Tottenham Hotspur is at home, so there should be no problem."

Ancelotti also compared De Gea with two legendary goalkeepers of Manchester United: "Van der Sar was also a tall and thin child when he won the Champions League in 1995 (on behalf of Ajax). He was very similar to De Gea now. Don't forget that De Gea is only 20 years old. Schumeichel (1991) was also baptized by gunfire during the first battle. When he went to Wimbledon to play, he screamed like a pig. He was also unprotected. Winnie Jones, Alan Cork and John Fashanu were all bumping into him. De Gea will be fine."

Smarin, who will replace the injured Vidic and Ferdinand to play Tottenham Hotspur defender, also supports De Gea on Manchester United's official website: "He trains very well. We played several matches, and our teammates saw his agility and skills. He showed his ability in training. It only takes a little time, and the whole world will see it.

However, Tottenham's ace star Bell regards De Gea as the weakness of the Red Devils. In an interview with the Mirror, 22-year-old Tottenham Hotspur Magic Wing said, "If any goalkeeper is going through a bad time, you should do your best to test him. We will go to Old Trafford to test Manchester United." Bell added: "Obviously, joining Manchester United made De Gea very nervous, but he proved himself to be a world-class goalkeeper at Atletico Madrid and the Spanish national team."

Manchester United has been unbeaten in 24 games against Tottenham Hotspur (20 Premier League, 2 FA Cups and 2 League Cups).

The last time Tottenham Hotspur defeated Manchester United was in May 2001; the last away victory over Manchester United was in 1989. At that time, De Gea, Phil Jones, Fabio and others were not even born! Although Manchester United has just experienced a change in the position of goalkeeper, and the two main central defenders will also be absent due to injuries; Tottenham Hotspur is not well-staffed, and their biggest trouble is that the core Modridge is stuck in a transfer whirlpool. Tottenham Hotspur coach Redk Knapp has admitted that Modric will not play against Manchester United.

When Hernandez's name appears in the big list of Manchester United's home game against Tottenham Hotspur, I'm afraid all fans will believe that it won't be long for Little Pea to return to Manchester United's starting lineup. However, the post-90s young player Welbeck, who has been entrusted with an important task since the beginning of the new season, and the young man who partnered with Li Yu on the main front line of Manchester United does not seem to think so. England's local demon front is growing at a speed far beyond people's expectations. After a short adaptation period, Welbeck is playing against Tottenham Hotspur. In the key battle, he finally showed people his Superman football talent, and his one pass and one shot helped the Manchester United Youth Team easily win the home victory.

In the first half of the game, due to the convergence of Manchester United's formation, there was not much decent offensive, but even so, only 20 seconds after the opening, Welbeck almost received Mata's cross and sneaked.

In the 7th minute of the game, Werbeck sent a wonderful pass to Cliveli in the counterattack, who shot the arc ball in front of the penalty area straight to the lower right corner of the goal, forcing Friedel to make a difficult save.

After testing the knife in the first half, Welbeck completely broke out in the second half thanks to the team's oppressive play.

In the 58th minute, Welbeck received a 45-degree pass from Phil Jones and rubbed the ball after the opponent's defender grabbed the header. The back point Ashley Young faced the goalkeeper and volleyed in the air, but unfortunately shot the ball away. In the 61st minute, Cleverley received Smarling's knockback and passed the arc ball for the first time. Welbeck suddenly ran forward in the middle and shook his head before Kabul. The ball went straight to the back corner of the goal. Friedel, who performed well in the whole game, had nothing to do with such a tricky shot.

From then on, the balance of the game was completely subverted, the original deadlocked situation became Manchester United's absolute control of the game, and the more confident Welbeck began to show his football talent more freely.

In the 68th minute, Welbeck received Smarin's ferry in front of the small penalty area and shot with a golden hook upside down, but Frieder stood in an excellent position and confiscated the ball.

Subsequently, Nani received Li Yu's small angle attack and was blocked by Friedel. Welbeck followed the make-up shot like a ghost, and was intercepted by the defender.

In the 71st minute, Welbeck also showed his disk kung fu. He counterattacked with the ball on the left side of the backcourt, picked up the ball in the face of the defensive player, and overtached it with speed from the other side, completing an amazing ball score, and then killed the bottom line all the way. The nearby area was destroyed by the players who made up for it.

In the 76th minute, Mata and Welbeck hit the wall. Welbeck leaned against the opponent's defender and hit the heel lightly. The ball just fell in front of the follow-up Anderson. The Brazilian did not need to make any adjustments, but directly pushed the door with his habitual left foot. A minute later, Welbeck had the opportunity to send an assist to his teammates again. Unfortunately, although his delivery was enough, Nani's ball was too strong, and the attacking Friedel confiscated the ball.

In the 80th minute, An Shuai waved his flag and replaced the chief meritorious man Welbeck with the newly injured Hernandez. The 75,498 audience stood up and applauded for Welbeck. The applause lasted for 10 seconds. It was not until Welbeck put on his coat and high-five with the coach's teammates. .

Welbeck has become the new favorite of Old Trafford, and has even threatened Hernandez's unbreakable starting position.

Compared with Hernandez, Welbeck's ability to grab points is much worse, but this black player with the reputation of "Little Kanu" has comprehensive skills that are difficult to reach.

Welbeck's running ability is very outstanding, and he is competent for the attributes of the middle and side, so that he can often use a large area of running in the midfield and front to create killing, and also gives him the potential to grow into a top defensive forward like Eto'o and Tevez. According to OPTA's post-match statistics, Welbeck's three shots in this game hit the goal range, and the success rate of 23 passes is as high as 91.3%, which is the highest among the starting players in the game. In addition, he also sent a three-legged threat ball, one tackle, two foul interceptions, which can be described as his comprehensive skills at both ends of attack and defense. The art is played to the fullest.

Sky Sports did not hesitate to play the highest 8 points for Welbeck after the game, and joined hands with Phil Jones and Friedell to become the best player in this game.

Ancelotti also praised Welbeck after the game. He said: "The reason why I dare to use young people boldly is that they are so good that I have to use them. Werbeck was more active in the midfield in the first half, which limited his performance. At halftime, we made some adjustments to return him to the center position, because we need to put more pressure on our opponents in the front court, and Welbeck is the top point.

However, Welbeck's excellent condition also made An Shuai feel a headache. Manchester United's official website once pointed out that the team currently has seven strikers, including Li Yu, Hernandez, Welbeck, Owen, Diouf and Maceda. Ancelotti has ample choice in platooning and is also facing happy troubles.

Ancelotti himself admitted: "Look at Li Yu, Hernandez and Owen. They are all different types of strikers. I need to give full play to their characteristics according to the specific situation of the game. I'm looking forward to the combination of Li Yu and Welbeck. At present, their performance is very good, but Hernandez has come back. He scored a lot of goals for the team last season. Li Yu's role is irreplaceable. What I have to do is to choose a partner for him.

Welbeck is also a little surprised that he can become a key player on the team's front line so quickly.

In an interview with Manchester United's official website, Welbeck couldn't hide his excitement: "When I played in Sunderland, my goal was to join the team's main lineup, so as to get more game opportunities. Only in this way can I gradually develop self-confidence and the ability to cope with game changes. So I feel very happy to play the game so soon after returning to Manchester United. I don't like the feeling of sitting on the bench very much, so I will try my best to improve my strength and strive to become a member of the team's rotation.

Now, Welbeck has become a partner with Li Yu, the Golden Boot of the Premier League last season. At the same time, the fast-famous 20-year-old talented striker also makes 23-year-old Hernandez feel daunting.

Eric Harrison, a former Manchester United youth coach who helped Ferguson cultivate the 92nd golden generation, also sighed: "Wilbeck has become better after his experience in Sunderland. He has become faster and has stronger ball control. He reminds me of the players of the 92nd golden generation." Indeed, in addition to Welbeck, the young talents in Manchester United have sprung up for two consecutive seasons. The rise of young players such as Hernandez, Smarin, Fabio, Raphael, Cleverley and Phil Jones has led to Manchester United, which has not emerged at the same time for many years. A golden generation.

Li Yu did not score in the second round of the league. The media believe that this is the new coach Ancelotti's tactical intention to let Manchester United No. 9 withdraw more, sort out the attack, and give more opportunities to the center player. Manchester United's No. 9 has a tendency to cultivate like No. 10.

At the beginning of last season, Ferguson tried to let Li Yu try such a way of playing, but later, because of Rooney's injury and low state, Li Yu had to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring more goals. This season, Ancelotti also found the potential of Li Yu. Whether it can stimulate success or not, it still needs to follow the game. In-depth study of the season, further observation.

Anyway, the two famous coaches have recognized that Li Yu has such an ability, so it may be just a matter of time!

After Rooney left, Mata came. If the new Manchester United No. 10 can form an effective interaction with Li Yu, then Manchester United's attack will be more varied. Diversification has always been the tactic emphasized by Ancelotti. From this point, it is not difficult to see that An Shuai has injected his personal coaching ideas into the Red Devils Manchester United bit by bit. In the past, the tradition of attaching importance to the side roads is bound to change.
