Chapter 4 Robin Man is Coming
Manchester United head coach Ancelotti attacked Premier League opponent Arsenal and kept the situation from Van Persie during his transfer.
According to the British media, the gunman's attitude is that if Manchester United buys Van Persie, they must pay more than other buyers.
Ancelotti said that since Manchester United made an offer to Van Persie, Arsenal has been hiding the situation from him and keeping him informed of the latest developments. It's hard to understand why they operate in such a way," An Shuai said. "We have been doing our best, but there is still no progress so far."
"As you all know, Manchester United has made an offer, but Arsenal has been trying to negotiate with other clubs. They don't give us any information, and we haven't made any breakthrough so far. Ancelotti said this after Manchester United's penalty loss to Barcelona in a friendly match. The loss seemed to make him in a bad mood that he began to complain about the progress of the transfer.
According to the Sun, Manchester United's offer for a Dutch center is 15 million pounds, but Arsenal's price is more than 20 million pounds. The Sun said that an insider close to Van Persie revealed that the Dutchman wanted to transfer to Manchester United, but Manchester City was still under consideration. Historically, Arsenal coach Wenger has never sold to any Manchester United player, and he prefers to sell Van Persie to Juventus.
Previously, there were rumors that Van Persie would go to Manchester United for a physical examination, but now it seems that this news is not reliable. Ancelotti said, "I can't give you more information at present. We can only stick to it."
"We are still working hard, hoping to eventually develop to the side that is beneficial to us, but there is still no progress."
According to the Daily Mirror, Arsenal does treat Manchester United differently on the issue of Van Persie's sale. Wenger does not want to sell the Dutchman to the Red Devils because he regards Manchester United as a direct competitor to the Premier League. According to the Daily Mirror, even if they really want to sell Van Persie, Arsenal's lowest price for other teams is 20 million pounds, while for Manchester United, they are 25 million pounds.
Another blow to Manchester United in the transfer market is that Paris Saint-Germain officially announced the signing of Brazilian genius Lucas Mora, who was also the target of the Red Devils before. Paris paid a transfer fee of about 45 million euros for this, which also surprised Ancelotti.
In fact, Ancelotti knew long ago that Lucas Jr.'s first choice was not Manchester United. In the men's semi-finals of the London Olympics on Tuesday night, Brazil played against South Korea. An Shuai did not watch the game on the spot, but flew away from Manchester. However, for the richness of Paris, the coach of Manchester United is still a little incredible.
"I think it's really surprising that a club can pay 45 million euros for a 19-year-old child," Ancelotti said. "Paris tells everyone about their existence. They have signed Tiago Silva and Ibrahimovic, and they spent about 100 million last month. Fifty million pounds."
"The only one who has a different view on this is UEFA. Under the current conditions of European football, perhaps it is time to consider the distribution principle of European qualification. Winning the league or getting the runner-up may not be able to advance to the European arena and get an invitation, which is also the power of UEFA. When someone pays 45 million euros for a 19-year-old child, you can only say that football is crazy.
The new season of the Premier League will start in half a month. Manchester United's first opponent is Everton, but now the Red Devils, whose offensive ability has been significantly improved, are facing a defensive crisis.
The unlucky Ferdinand may face penalties because of comments on Twitter, which will affect morale before the season starts.
What worries Ancelotti more is the injury: Smollin's toe bone is broken, and it will take two months to return to the field; Evans has missed the team's warm-up matches in South Africa and Asia due to foot surgery, and it is still a question whether he can recover in time before the season. The only good news comes from Vidic, who has been saying goodbye to the game for eight months, and he will appear in the friendly match between Oslo and Valerunga.
If the situation is good, the captain of the Red Devils in the first round of the league is most likely to partner with Phil Jones as a central defender.
Last December, Vidic tore his cruciate ligament in the Champions League match against Basel and experienced an eight-month recovery period. The friendly match in Norway was his first official match. Vidic's return coincided with Manchester United's final preparation period before the league.
To this day, the Manchester United camp is finally in harmony. Li Yu, Evra, Mata and Nani, the core players who participated in the European Cup, have all returned. They are all expected to get the game time in the game against Vallelenga.
Manchester United seems to be ready, but the opponents in the same city seem to be in some trouble.
What is the starting sign of the transfer market of the Premier League?
Answer 1: Arsenal is ready to sell its captain; Answer 2: Manchester City is starting to buy people everywhere with a checkbook.
This summer is a little abnormal. Manchester City, which controls the Premier League transfer market for several consecutive seasons, has so far been blank in the introduction of players. Hargreaves left as a free man, Wayne Bridge went to Brighton on loan, and the players of the reserve team have gone a lot, but there is no player to join the defending champion of the Premier League!
Strictly speaking, Mancini has not made any changes to the first team lineup so far.
In this extremely competitive season, the Grezel family, which is preparing for public offering funds, has been generous and has given Ancelotti more than 100 million pounds of transfer reserves. Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are also recruiting talents everywhere, but Blue Moon is still.
Last Saturday, Manchester United flew to Norway to play a friendly match, and only Ancelotti stayed in Manchester.
According to the news, An Shuai kept an eye on Brazilian midfielder Lucas and Arsenal striker Van Persie in order to continue to step on the signing. The latter is the biggest bait in the transfer market this summer, pulling the whole body.
But Mancini seems to have surrendered before the battle. Although the Dutchman has always been his number one target, the price war has not yet begun. He has admitted that he will not win the battle for Van Persie. So, he left the two clubs, Juventus and Manchester United, to fight.
Manchester City lacks a world's top striker with team spirit. In the second half of last season, Mancini did not like Zheko, and the fact that there is only one Aguero can be trusted on the forward line.
In order to cope with the frontline crisis, he went against his word and let Tevez save the scene again. In the current striker sequence, the top three are Aguero, Baloteli and Tevez, but the latter two are bombs in the locker room. Even so, Mancini seems unable to make any changes.
AC Milan hopes to introduce Bosnia and Herzegovina strikers on loan and assume all 170,000 pounds of weekly salary and buyout rights next summer, but Manchester City is not interested in this way of trading.
Mancini said, "We are unlikely to sell Dzeko."
Separate the players from Milan. In January this year, AC Milan originally wanted to introduce Tevez in the same way, but was rejected by Manchester City.
It seems that the team only prefers a permanent transfer once and for all, but the weekly salary of Dzeko and Tevez is too high, and few clubs can afford an attractive salary when paying a huge transfer fee.
Several potential deals of Manchester City have been stuck in transfer fees or salary requirements, which has been unheard of in the past three seasons.
In addition to Van Persie, Liverpool offered 22 million pounds for central defender Agel. The Danes currently have only two years left in the contract and have a long history of injury. Although Mancini favors Agel, the deal is still stranded.
A record loss of 197 million returned to the 2010/11 season, which was the third season for Abu Dhabi's Mansour family to enter Manchester City. In that fiscal year, Mancini bought a total of seven top players. Jerome Boateng's 10.5 million, Dzeko 27 million, David Silva 26 million, Yaya Toure 24 million, Krarov 19 million, Balotry 24 million and Milner's 26 million, Manjo spent a full 157 million pounds in a year!
In this year, Manchester City set a record loss in England's history, with a total loss of 197 million pounds in the whole fiscal year, 56 million more than Chelsea's 141 million pounds in 2005.
When this data was released, the world football world was in an uproar, especially when UEFA had already introduced the Financial Equity Regulations (FFP). At that time, Ferguson criticized Manchester City for buying players as "suicide". Two years later, Manchester City almost defeated Manchester United to win the league championship.
How is Manchester City prepared to deal with the financial fairness regulations at the beginning of the 2014/15 season? The regulations will be officially implemented before the 2014/15 season. UEFA will analyze the annual financial reports of top clubs in the previous three years (starting from the 2011/12 season) and require that their total losses should not exceed 45 million euros (38.5 million pounds).
This loss is mainly included in "football-related" expenses, that is, player purchase and salary expenses. Therefore, the 2010/11 season is the last season that is not included in the scope of UEFA's consideration. In fact, it reveals a little rationality among Manchester City's crazy buyers.
Financial fairness is difficult to meet Graham Wallers, the club's chief operating officer, said after the release of the huge loss financial statement in the fall of 2011: "With the implementation of the accelerated investment strategic plan, we have expected such a loss, but we ensure that this situation will not be repeated in the future. Such a financial situation represents Manchester City's bottom line on losses, after which the club will move forward in a sustainable way in all aspects. At present, the club is undergoing a commercial transformation. We are all aware that UEFA's financial equity regulations are about to be implemented, and we will maintain an active dialogue with all football authorities.
Since the 2011/12 season, Manchester City's transfer schedule has slowed down. In the summer, there were a total of 38 million Aguero and 25 million Nasri. In winter, Manchester City did not do anything in the transfer market - this situation continued until this summer.
At the same time, Manchester City's commercial revenue has gradually increased due to participation in the Champions League and soaring results. In the 2010/11 season, Manchester City's annual revenue increased by 22.5%, and it is likely to increase further in the 2011/12 season.
From this perspective, it can be seen that Manchester City has a plan to meet the requirements of UEFA's financial fairness law.
However, the loss has been reduced from £197 million to £38.5 million, which is really difficult. The biggest problem is the soaring payroll, which may be difficult to keep pace with income growth.
Manchester City's salary expenditure in the 2010/11 season reached 174 million pounds, second only to Chelsea (190 million) and higher than Manchester United (153 million) in the same city. But in terms of income, Manchester City is even less than half of the Red Devils.
Manchester United's revenue reached 331 million pounds that year, and its commercial revenue, TV broadcasting and game day revenue exceeded 100 million. Due to the lack of fan base, Manchester City still needs to accumulate to catch up with the Red Devils in this regard.
Under the current high team salary structure system, not attracting players alone is not enough to solve the problem of Blue Moon. In order to attract superstars to pay salaries that violate the laws of the market, they have now become a cocoon.
Just a few days later, Manchester United broke out another good news with the efforts of Ancelotti.
Van Persie's transfer suddenly exposed. Arsenal officials have started negotiations with Manchester United on the transfer of Van Persie. The Red Devil years of the Premier League silver boot scorer last season may be in front of him.
According to the latest news from the Daily Mail, Manchester United and Arsenal officials have discussed Van Persie's transfer on Tuesday night local time. According to officials within the two clubs, the deal is expected to be officially launched this Saturday, British time, when the new season of the Premier League begins. Announce completion.
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United's final offer to Van Persie is very close to the minimum transfer amount officially required by Arsenal - 20 million pounds. The two sides may reach an agreement on this price within the next 48 hours. At the same time, the Mirror revealed that the final transaction price The grid will be more than 20 million pounds.
The Sun gave a more accurate figure: 22 million pounds! However, Arsenal are still trying to raise the transfer fee to £25 million.
Because Van Persie's contract with Arsenal is left, Ancelotti only offered 15 million pounds for the Dutch Flying Man, which is intolerable by Arsenal. The two clubs have reached an impasse over the transfer of Van Persie. However, with the withdrawal of Manchester City, Van Persie's transfer suddenly took a 180-degree change a day ago, and the two Premier League giants of Manchester United and Arsenal started to engage again.
It seems that Van Persie is really going to transfer to Manchester United!
According to the Mirror, the Daily Mail and other British media, Arsenal have planned to give up Van Persie, and they are likely to put the Dutch striker to join Manchester United at the price of 22 million pounds.
The reason why Arsenal's attitude has taken a major turn is inseparable from Wenger's statement.
According to the Mirror, in order to get Van Persie, former Manchester United coach Ferguson personally met Wenger and successfully persuaded the French coach to let him go! Once Van Persie's transfer is completed, he will become the first player to transfer directly from Arsenal to Manchester United since Wenger coached Arsenal.
Previously, Ferguson confirmed Manchester United's interest in Van Persie in an interview, but Arsenal was unwilling to negotiate with Manchester United. Ferguson was worried that Wenger was interfering with it. He guessed that Wenger was more willing to sell Van Persie to Juventus.
Wenger also previously expressed his tough attitude of leaving Van Persie: "Van Persie scored 30 goals last season, and of course we want to keep our best player." It seems that Van Persie's transfer seems to be impossible, but just 48 hours later, Arsenal's attitude has changed 180 degrees, which is inseparable from Ferguson's personal plea to Wenger.
Although Ferguson has now left Manchester United, he is still thinking about Manchester United and contributes to Manchester United again with his entangled friendship with Wenger.
In the final analysis, the Premier League is still developing, and the relationship between the two clubs is different from before.
In the Ferguson era, as Manchester United's biggest championship rival before the rise of Chelsea, Arsenal led by Wenger has always made Ferguson sleepy.
The two sides certainly don't want to see each other's strength, so in the transfer market, Manchester United and Arsenal naturally have no relationship with each other.
Since taking over Arsenal in 1996, Wenger has never sold his players to Manchester United. Although the Red Devils sold French defender Sylvester to Arsenal at an extremely low price in 2008, Sylvester could not play at all at Manchester United at that time, and the deal was also a redundancy.
That is to say, since Ferguson and Wenger played, there has been no heavyweight player trade between the two clubs.
Although Ferguson and Wenger have always appeared in front of the world as sworn enemies, and the two have also had many fierce conflicts, in recent years, the relationship between the two has eased, and there is a feeling of meeting and a smile.
If Van Persie's transfer is finally completed, it will also be the best note for the happy enemies. It will not only be the first heavyweight deal between Manchester United and Arsenal in 16 years, but also mean that the emotional ice between Ferguson and Wenger will be completely broken.
Of course, Li Yu hopes to welcome a high-level partner again. In an interview, he said, "Van Persie is a player I admire. Over the years, his performance at Arsenal has been amazing!"
When asked to look forward to Li Yu and Fan Peisi's front-line partner, Li Yu said, "I really want to look forward to this, but you have to ask the head coach Mr. Ancelotti. Manchester United already has a lot of strikers. I, Welbeck, Hernandez and Van Persie also came to the Red Devils. Therefore, there are many strikers competing for positions.
Li Yu also warned Manchester City, the sworn enemy of the same city, saying that the other side would become the target of this season. In the competition in the new season, Manchester City with a strong lineup is one of the biggest hits, but Li Yu believes that it is not easy for Manchester City to win the championship again.
