Chapter 191 Preparations before the start of the season
Klein, Blind, Wundt, Matuidi, Klose.
In fact, Southampton does not have many players participating in the European Cup. After all, Belgium failed to enter the European Cup finals, and Lovren and Giroud have left. Of course, Otamendi, an Argentine, does not need to play in the European Cup.
Although Benteke is a member of the Belgian national team, he has not had the opportunity to participate in the European Cup.
At the beginning of the training camp, the personnel were relatively well-organized.
However, considering that the five European Cup members are all Southampton's absolute main players, their influence this time is not small.
At least they missed the initial physical training, and they will definitely miss the subsequent ball training as well.
They only entered Southampton's training camp in almost August, and it had been half a month since Southampton's training camp started.
But this is something that can't be helped. The impact of other wealthy families should be greater.
"Looking at the schedule, the FA is making things difficult for us. Two of the first three games are against the Manchester United duo." Benelli said while looking at the schedule.
"Last season our schedule was a bit cheap, and this season will certainly be affected. However, the initial problem is not big. Even if we lose, we can make up for it later." Noriya said not very concerned.
Indeed, it’s okay to play Manchester City in the first round for two consecutive seasons, and then play Manchester United in the third round. Such a schedule seems a bit outrageous, but the FA insists that this is randomly selected by a computer. What can they do?
Southampton finished third last season, so they will be targeted this season. This is also common sense.
After all, the FA also wants to test them to see if they are really capable of establishing a foothold in the top four.
Manchester City did not spend too much money in the transfer market this summer. They won the league championship last season, which allowed them to focus on stability in the transfer market and retain all the main players. They only spent 15 million
Sterling introduced local defensive midfielder Rodwell from Everton. This well-known young talent suffered from injuries last season. This is why Manchester City can introduce him at a relatively cheap price.
Manchester United has opened up its money bag this summer. This is also a consistent characteristic of Ferguson. If his results are good, he will often not spend money in the transfer market. If his results decline, he will spend a lot of money in the transfer market...
For example, after he lost the league title for the first time due to Arsenal's pursuit, he spent money to buy Stam and Yorke. After Yorke and Cole failed, he spent money to buy Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ruud van Nistelrooy's condition began to decline.
He bought Rooney and Ronaldo, and now it's time to spend money again.
He sold Park Ji-sung, terminated Owen's contract, and then introduced Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa from Dortmund for more than 10 million pounds, and Robin van Persie from Arsenal for 30.7 million pounds.
However, compared with the investment of other teams, Manchester United's expenditure is nothing.
Chelsea introduced Marin, Oscar and Hazard, spending a total of more than 80 million. After Arsenal sold Robin van Persie, they also introduced Giroud, Cazorla and Podolski to strengthen their strength. Tottenham
They lost Modric, but introduced Vertonghen, Dembele and Sigurdsson...
However, it is not the Premier League giants that are causing trouble in the European transfer market this summer, but two other teams.
The suddenly rich Russian team Zenit, and the wealthy PSG.
Zenit bought Hulk from Porto for 50 million, and Vilsette from Benfica for 40 million...
This makes Ji Ya very unhappy. You have money to throw at me. Isn't Dembele better than Versett who has not proven himself yet? If you give me these 40 million, Dembele is guaranteed to be more useful!
Of course, he can only complain. In fact, it is still a matter of stage. Although Porto and Benfica still have to play in the Europa League every year, they both play in the Champions League at the beginning...
Southampton's players haven't played in the Champions League, so their value just won't go up.
Another local tycoon in Paris is also amazing. Lavezzi, Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic, Lucas Jr., Verratti, Van der Wiel... The introduction of these people cost Paris at least a year.
The transfer fee of 150 million yuan left many people stunned.
But what no one thought was that this was just the beginning...
Paris Saint-Germain will continue to shock the entire European football world in the coming time.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Noriya, he just wants to perform even better in the coming season.
Even if you sell players, you should try to sell them for a high price.
"Although our tactics in the new season are still four-three-three, we will be more active in the game. Arturo, you will take on more responsibilities in the new season. In addition to organizing offense, you must also retreat to defend.
, serving as an all-around midfielder who can not only attack, but also organize and defend."
Ji Ya said to Bidar, who nodded vigorously. He really hoped to have such a status. Although it was tiring, it also proved his importance.
For the 25-year-old Vidal, he is not worried about his lack of physical fitness.
"Henrik, in the new season you will play a more important role in the offense... You can change positions with James more during the game. The breakthrough of the two of you in the middle will be an important offensive point for us. Together with William,
This way we don’t have to worry about not being able to break down the opponent’s defense in the frontcourt.”
Mkhitaryan and Ronaldo also nodded at the same time. To put it bluntly, Southampton's tactics have changed a lot now. From half-possession last season to fast play this season, of course, the offensive players will also have opportunities to show their faces.
Just more.
"Christian, you have to learn to move in our system, then seize the time and score goals." Noriya said to Benteke.
Benteke also nodded. He came to the Premier League just to perform better - he is an ambitious forward, so when facing the olive branches offered by Aston Villa and Southampton at the same time, he
I chose Southampton without hesitation - Southampton can play in the Champions League, what can Aston Villa do?
The 22-year-old Benteke is fully mature technically and physically. What he needs is to show his abilities and standards in the top league!
What Kiya needs is this kind of players. Although they are young, they are already good in strength. They also have strong fighting spirit and desire to perform well in the future.
With this kind of mentality, this kind of player can often perform quite well.
Now it depends on whether he can adapt to Southampton's running position. As long as he can adapt, with this guy's height of 1.9 meters, strong body and good speed, he will be more threatening than Giroud.
Since the system recommended him, it naturally shows that he has the ability to replace Giroud.
Klose is not expected to play too many games this season. Under such circumstances, of course the newly joined forwards will get more opportunities.
