Entering August, Manchester United ushered in the last warm-up match before the season.
This year is the year of world-class basketball. Manchester United also went to the Americas to make money. 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 it is irrational to make money through "holes", which may be an important reason why Manchester United does not make any big transfers in the summer.
Of course the whole club denies it, but this is the fact.
As the club with the most debt among the top 20 Premier League clubs (£71.6 billion at the beginning of 2010), Manchester United's influence in the transfer market in recent years is obviously not comparable to that on the pitch. In terms of signings, only Smalling has been introduced.
and Hernandez, the two young players. Regarding the lack of "purchases", Ferguson still used the same tune: "I am very satisfied with the current lineup, and there is no reason to use my brain to buy players." [
Unlike last summer when Ronaldo and Tevez were let go due to serious injuries, Manchester United did not leave the team this year with its main players. Heaton, Tosic and Ziller had never gained a foothold in the first team. Even among the players who were loaned to the team, only m
- Diouf is relatively "famous" and basically has little impact on the team. Lending young players out can also provide them with opportunities for practical training. As for whether they can successfully "return" to Manchester United, it depends on the further development of each player.
.
Since no major players have left the team this summer, Manchester United will continue the tactical formation from last season. 442 and 451 will depend on the opponent and the team's own conditions. Although Rooney and Li Yu already delivered good results last season,
In view of the characteristics of Xiaopang and Li Yu and Ferguson's tactical thinking, Manchester United will still focus on the overall card. Grasping the rhythm, especially increasing the speed of passing and receiving, will be what Sir Alex Ferguson requires.
Although Van der Sar is about to turn 40 years old, the Dutch veteran is still fighting hard. As long as he is not injured, he will still be the first choice for goalkeeper. Evra, Ferdinand and Vidic will still be the absolute main force in the defense. Of course, Evans
, Smalling and Brown can both step up in time, and both Rafael and Gary Neville can be used at right back, but considering the future, it is obvious that the former is more likely to be the main force.
In the forward line, Ferguson has made many changes, but Fletcher is the main force. Scholes, Carrick and Gibson can all be rotated. On the wing, Nani, Valencia, Park Ji-sung and Giggs can all be rotated.
This is a good card that Sir Alex can play.
As for the forward line, the positions of Rooney and Li Yu cannot be shaken. As for the partnership, fans may prefer to see Hernandez. There are also old and young combinations such as Macheda and Owen on the bench.
From the transfer market point of view, the most anticipated one is still Manchester City. Apart from Manchester City, if you look at the other top seven teams in the Premier League last season and the teams that qualified for the European war, only two new players will definitely enter.
One of the starting lineups for the new season is Liverpool's Joe Cole, and the other is Arsenal's Koscielny.
There is no doubt that Manchester City, which spends so freely, is seeking the opportunity to become the league champion. While other clubs are firmly grasping the existing talents. But the defending champion Manchester United, compared to other teams that have not moved, still occupy the top spot.
A favorable terrain for defending the title.
Chelsea have also not changed much like Manchester United.
The four generals Joe Cole, Ballack, Deco and Belletti were let go by Ancelotti. Chelsea only introduced Benayoun and Brazilian Ramirez, and the lineup seemed streamlined and stingy. But the Blues'
There is no change in the core. The defense is still strong. Serbian defender Ivanovic looks like he will replace Carvalho's main position. As long as Ashley Cole is not attracted by Real Madrid, Ancelotti can hardly do anything.
Do. Midfielder Mikel, Lampard, and the returning Essien are stronger than ever.
He failed to persuade Torres to come to Stamford Bridge, but Drogba is still great, even though Warcraft is about to be 33 years old. Ancelotti will also prepare appropriate rotations for him. Don't forget that there is Malouda, who was the most improved in the Premier League last season.
With the support of Anelka, plus Kalou and Stritch, the striker is strong enough. And young players such as Kakuta, Bruma and Borini will also get opportunities.
On paper, the only team that can compete with Chelsea seems to be Manchester City. Mancini tried to solve the team's two-stop problem by introducing two full-backs, Jerome Boateng and Kolarov. However,
It is questionable whether the introduction of Yaya Toure will bring greater improvement to the midfielder that already has many central midfielders such as Barry, De Jong and Kompany.
But at least Mancini has added thickness and layering to the team, especially with championship experience. Silva can be regarded as the best signing, but this lightweight winger needs to adapt to the high-intensity and high-speed confrontation of the Premier League. But
Milner joins from Villa, and wingers such as Wright Jr. and Adam Johnson will quickly increase Manchester City's wing attack power.
What is good for Mancini is that for the first time he can have a full pre-season preparation time to work with the players. Last season they were 19 points behind champions Chelsea, but the goal difference was 43 goals behind.
It shows that winning Champions League tickets this season is a more realistic goal.
Starting from the 2010-11 season, the Premier League will implement a "25-player registration system", that is, a list of 25 players must be reported every season, of which there must be at least 8 "locally trained players" after each transfer. The so-called local training is
Refers to being registered with the Football Association of England or Wales in the 36 months or three seasons before the 21st birthday. It is not necessary to be an Englishman.
In addition to these 25 people, players under the age of 21 can play at will. If the 25-man roster needs to be changed, it can only be changed during the transfer period, unless there are special cases where multiple goalkeepers are injured. Players who have been loaned to England's lower leagues after signing up
, their quota cannot be replaced, but they can play when they return to their home team. This rule only applies to the Premier League, and does not include European wars, FA Cup and League Cup competitions.
The biggest problem this new policy will bring to wealthy clubs is that some players earn a weekly salary of 40,000 or 50,000 pounds at the club, but during Premier League games they are restricted by the registration system and can only sit in the stands and watch the game.
Spurs coach Redknapp was the first to confirm that injured centre-back Woodgate will not join Tottenham.
The 25-man roster, and similarly, Manchester United's Hargreaves and Fulham's most valuable forward Andy Johnson, who introduced for 10.5 million pounds, will have to wait until January next year to have a chance to return to the big team even if they recover from injuries.
roster, as clubs will no longer reserve valuable spots for players who cannot ensure their normal physical condition.
The new rules are a major change to the Premier League. Last season Portsmouth used 33 players, 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 rules were originally
Talents trained locally can stand out and no longer be put on the bench. But the biggest problem for wealthy clubs is that the players they have invested heavily in will not easily give up their high salaries to play for other clubs, so they can only pay high salaries.
Loan them out while paying wages.
Obviously, this move has the greatest impact on clubs like Manchester City. Manchester City currently has 33 first-team players and is still introducing more powerful players, but there are no stars like Bellamy and Santa Cruz left.
space, but you may not always be able to find a suitable place. Maybe you can only
Sitting in the stands wasting time. There are actually 37 players on Mancini's first team list, 5 of whom are under the age of 21 and do not occupy the registration quota, but 7 of the remaining 33 are destined to stay. Bella
Mi, Santa Cruz, Ireland, Robinho, Jo, Caicedo are all dangerous.
Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti also faces the same problem. So far, only five players over the age of 21 in his first team meet the condition of local training. This means that if he cannot recruit three players who meet the conditions,
You can only fill in a 22-man roster, or promote 3 players who meet the conditions from the reserve team. Liverpool's new coach Hodgson only has 6 players who are locally trained. This is why there are recent rumors that Crouch will return to Anfield, and Parker may also
Reasons for joining.
Manchester United and Arsenal are the only top four teams that can face the new rules. Manchester United coach Ferguson has always attached great importance to the training and introduction of local teenagers. Although Arsenal does not have many English players, it has also worked hard to introduce young talents from other countries.
Kung Fu, so you can spend it calmly.[
Several other teams competing for the championship are trying their best to ensure their own assets this summer, rather than attracting new players. The decline in the exchange rate of the pound against the euro, the increase in England's tax rate, and the pessimistic economic situation have all made it difficult for Premier League clubs to attract top players.
mainland star.
Arsenal worked hard to keep Cesc Fabregas, maybe just for one more year, but this is a more important decision than any signing. But the Gunners still need to buy someone, and it is a good deal for Shamacher to join him for free.
The hope for central defender Koscielny is also high, but the central defender still needs to be strengthened. The most important thing is of course the goalkeeper problem. If Wenger can solve the problem of signing the defense, Arsenal has great potential to win the championship, because
Attacking options 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 Manchester United's best deal in the summer. But on the other hand, Manchester United is very silent on signings, and Hernandez is very promising.
But an offensive organizer is still needed. Scholes cannot maintain his performance in the Community Shield for a season. Ozil's arrival will be an important weight for winning the championship.
Ferguson's winning philosophy will allow Manchester United to persist in the championship competition until the end, but the pressure will be on Rooney and Li Yu. Whether they can find suitable replacements is the key to Manchester United getting rid of last season's fate. The two wings Nani and
Valencia has speed, strength and technology, but in addition to Fletcher as an engineer in the middle, they also need a technical midfielder to control the overall situation.
Liverpool's biggest signing this summer is not Joe Cole, but coach Hodgson. How he handles the players left by Benitez will be the most interesting to the media. On the training ground, Hodgson is "drilling"
His way of brainwashing players, he conducted high-intensity training through various exercises on the team's formation. Fulham players thought it was boring, but they were able to get involved because it was obvious that they could do it on the field.
Be successful.
But can Liverpool players persevere? In Fulham, many people are abandoned by other clubs and need to prove themselves, but in Liverpool, there are many minefields, and many players like to go their own way. People like Kuyt
Migrant players may be very adaptable to such "exercise", but talented players like Gerrard and Joe Cole have proven before that they don't seem to like the constraints of an overly strict tactical system. Hodgson needs more complex communication methods.
to complete his great cause.
Although Torres was retained in the end, it is difficult to imagine that Liverpool can still become a league contender this season. Perhaps returning to the top four is the most realistic goal. In particular, the prospect of club acquisitions is still unclear, and it is still unclear whether the Yankees can leave or not.
Easy to say.
Tottenham and Villa are two young teams. Neither Ray nor O'Neal has made any major signings this summer, but the team will grow naturally. They will still become important members of the fourth team in the new season, but O'Neal will start the Premier League.
Sudden resignation 5 days ago had a great negative impact on Vera
, Villa's performance will definitely decline this season. Tottenham will play in the Champions League this season, and whether they can adapt to multi-line operations is a problem. Villa, without Milner, needs to readjust. This is Hodgson's Liverpool returning to the top four.
An opportunity, their biggest opponent is Manchester City.
Everton's focus is mainly on retaining players. It has successfully renewed contracts with 19-year-old Rodwell and Arteta, and has welcomed back Fellaini who has recovered from injury. Moyes will not be satisfied with his eighth-place finish last season.
Moving on from Everton, 9th-placed Birmingham has a 20-point advantage over relegated 18th-placed Burnley, but from the perspective of the new season, all teams ranked 9th and up last season will be involved in the relegation battle.
Only by making reasonable use of the front-running rule to take the lead, or creating a miracle like Birmingham City by being promoted, will it be possible to avoid relegation early.
In an era of economic downturn, even upstream clubs like Villa were unwilling to spend money and would rather sell people, not to mention the mid-to-lower relegation teams. Birmingham relied on the loan of Manchester City goalkeeper Hart last season to introduce the British Championship double
The central defender created a beautiful back line
Defense, but it is hard to say whether it can continue to be a legend next season. Fulham lost Hodgson and Mark Hughes took over. They only have to take care of one front. The problem of relegation is not big and they should steadily improve. And Bolton, who acquired Petrov, are also ranked.
Will surpass last season's 14th.
As for teams like Blackburn and Sunderland, the head coach relies on his relationship with the wealthy coach Ferguson and others to rent out some capable young players. This is also a realistic way for them to solve the lack of funds. Manchester City's excessive personnel will be a relegation team.
The focus of pursuit, but they can only rent, and the temptation for big names is not as good as that of mid-range teams, but there is relatively no threat, which is also a major advantage.
Among the three promoted teams, Blackpool is the most mysterious, but it is also the top favorite for relegation. As the 6th place in the English Championship last season, it barely squeezed into the promotion play-offs. In the end, it 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 from the English Championship. Since the establishment of the Premier League, only one sixth-place team in the English Championship has successfully avoided relegation, and that was West Ham United in the 2005-06 season.
Therefore, if Blackpool can survive a year later, it will be the greatest achievement.
The new Premier League season is about to start, and the four major clubs are also recuperating for the first game this weekend. After a summer of rest, most of the star players are still in good physical condition despite the fatigue of the World Cup.
It is quite satisfactory. Several injured players such as Petr Cech are also counting down to their comeback. There will be no shortage of stars in the first round of the Premier League.
Ferguson claimed that Carrick, who would take two months off, started in the Community Shield, so the British media joked that the injury list reported by Manchester United was not worthy of belief. However, Ferdinand, who is still recovering, is unlikely to be in the first round of the league.
out, Anderson due to collision
The car was involved in a car accident and he still has to rest for about half a month. It is still unknown whether the injured Hargreaves can be included in the league's 25-man roster. Rafael and Fabio have suffered from food poisoning, and the striker is Manchester United's most important player.
With neat positions, the top five forwards are in good condition and have good scoring rates.
The biggest loss was the main goalkeeper Cech. The Czech goalkeeper missed the warm-up match due to injury. Without this goalkeeper to protect him, Ancelotti could only play in Ilario and Turnbull, two teams whose strength gap with Cech was large.
Choosing between substitutes, fortunately Cech recovered quickly and returned in the past two weeks to deal with the problem. On the forward line, Germany
Robba has recovered from his injury, but whether he will play depends on Anshuai's tactical choices. The recovery period of defense general Bosingwa after surgery has been delayed. It is believed that it will take about two weeks, and the main central defender Alex is currently also
While recuperating from injury, the Brazilian may play in the first round, otherwise Ivanovic will continue to change his position and play in the middle.
Arsenal's midfield has suffered serious attrition. Among the central midfielders, Song, Diaby and Denilson are all recuperating from muscle injuries. They had not played in the previous series of warm-up matches. Cesc Fabregas, who had just returned to the team and sworn allegiance, also
Because he has not been able to meet the competition standard since he resumed training soon, and Ramsey is still recovering from the operation, Wenger has few available players. Van Persie was not called up by the Dutch team and is currently fully resuming preparations for the league. However, due to Chamak
The recent form has been very good, and Wenger may not necessarily recruit Robin Hood into the match list for the first game.
Due to the Europa League qualifying round, Liverpool started this season earlier than the other three top players. The current World Cup international players in the lineup have played official games except for Torres and Kuyt Babel who have reached the final. The team has no
There is a big injury problem, and Hodgson has already guaranteed that the Spanish golden boy will definitely play in the first round match against Liverpool.
Every team is preparing nervously. Li Yu's state will affect Manchester United's record. This is no secret to many people. Manchester United's next warm-up match against Lazio before the Community Shield will become a test for Li Yu.
It is a key test match for the state. At the same time, this is Li Yu's first time playing at Old Trafford before the new season. It is worth looking forward to.
