In the just-concluded Premier League, they beat Newcastle with a score of 3-0, but Chelsea did not have any advantage on the scene. If it were not for the goalkeeper provided by Lady Luck three times in a row, Chelsea would probably lose this game and encounter
The 4th loss in the last 5 games.
According to the "Daily Mail", in the face of the team's recent serious difficulties, Chelsea owner Abramovich decided to support coach Villas-Boas and support him in launching a purge of transfers in the upcoming winter.
Rebuilding the team. It is reported that in addition to Alex and Anelka, who have submitted transfer applications and been officially recognized by Chelsea Club, Drogba, Kalou, Bosingwa and Ferreira are also in the Blues.
On top of clearing the list, Chelsea is willing to listen to offers for these six players in the winter.
"Daily Mail" stated that Anelka, who has been banned from participating in first-team training by Chelsea, plans to sign a contract with an annual salary of 6.4 million pounds with China's Shanghai Shenhua Club; Alex, who was also expelled,
He may switch to Juventus in Serie A. In order to maintain sufficient personnel at the central defender position, Chelsea may promote 17-year-old Nathaniel Chalobah from the reserve team to the first team next week.
Although Drogba and Kalou each scored 1 goal in Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Newcastle, their existing contracts with Chelsea will expire at the end of this season, and Chelsea will allow them to sign with Chelsea in January.
Other clubs signed "reservation contracts" (pre-trt) in advance. According to the "Daily Mail", Drogba will most likely accept a high-dollar offer from West Asia, while Kalou received an offer from West Asia.
Arsenal's interest.
The "Daily Mail" also revealed the shock inside the Chelsea dressing room. Since Alex and Anelka were quite popular in the dressing room, Villas-Boas decided to expel them from the first team.
, the sight of the lockers of these two 2010 double champions being emptied made everyone laugh.
The whole Chelsea team was shocked. Alex and Anelka both believed that they had been deliberately insulted because they were told by the club that they could only park their cars in the public parking lot next to the youth training base.
, and you can no longer park your car in the exclusive parking area for the first team.
While carrying out a major purge, Chelsea will also start purchasing with the strong financial support of Abramovich. However, the "Daily Mail" pointed out that although Villas-Boas claimed to have the full support of Abramovich,
In addition to Villas-Boas and his scouting team having a say in Chelsea's recruitment plans, Abramovich will continue to listen to disparate recruitment suggestions from independent think tanks.
According to the "Daily Mail", Chelsea's current major signings include: buying Bolton Wanderers' England international center back Gary Cahill to fill the vacancy left after Alex left; buying Portuguese Super League player Porto
Uruguay international Alvaro Pereira, who can play as both a left back and a left midfielder; the purchase of Eduardo Vargas, a 22-year-old talented forward from the University of Chile team, will become another important step for Chelsea to rejuvenate
Purchasing the Spanish national team's number one striker David Villa, who had a very unsatisfactory life in Barcelona, to replace Drogba and Anelka; Purchasing Lille's 20-year-old talented attacking midfielder Eden Hazard, Chelsea is on the move
I tried it last winter, and the answer I got was - come back in 12 months... If these signings are finally realized, then the transfer funds Abramovich will spend may exceed 100 million pounds.
In the match between Manchester United and Aston Villa held the next day, Manchester United took away three points 1:0.[
Attack! The most talked about issue of Manchester United recently is the offensive problem.
This is already the first consecutive league game in which Manchester United has only scored one goal. At the beginning of the season, Manchester United used its strong offensive firepower to frighten its opponents. But now, even against an underdog like Swansea in the away game, the Red Devils can only score one goal.
A small victory. In fact, even if the Red Devils won three consecutive 1-0 away games, the process of each game was not smooth. The first two away games, Everton and Swansea, caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United.
, it can even be said that Manchester United’s passive performance on the scene is not worthy of three points.
After being brutally beaten by their arch-rival Manchester City at home, the morale of the entire Manchester United team has hit rock bottom, and the pressure of multi-front operations has also made the Red Devils' injury situation more severe. It can be said that the current Manchester United is less energetic than the team at the beginning of the season.
The strength of the "powerful" youth army has been greatly reduced. It is not Manchester United's offensive success, but that the current Red Devils have lost the ability to dominate the game.
But even so, Ancelotti was still able to use a residual lineup to win 1-0 small victories in difficult away games.
This actually reflects the success of Ancelotti's adaptable tactics. Manchester United is currently weak in the middle, but the wing players still have certain advantages in personal ability.
In these three consecutive 1-0 away games, Manchester United scored in the same way. First, the wing and center players moved to open up the space. Once the wing players got the ball, they tried to pass it in, and then the center outflanked them.
The point grabber completes the final blow.
Ancelotti seems to be well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of his team, fully exploiting its strengths and avoiding weaknesses, relying on the support of the central players, trying to create a one-on-one situation between the wide players and the opponent's full-backs, and giving full play to the individual skills of the wide players.
With the advantage in ability, you only need to catch a little negligence of the opponent's defense and use this seemingly simple offensive method to achieve a decisive victory. After taking the lead with this basic offensive routine, Manchester United can use its rich experience and excellent
The discipline "nature" maintains the victory.
Even if Manchester United scored again throughout the game, the smallest advantage in a football match, 1-0, was enough for them to take away three points.
Although Ancelotti himself is not a big fan of offensive football, the reality is that he is still forced to let Manchester United present wonderful scenes and goals to the fans.
Right now, Manchester United is about to enter the busiest winter schedule of the year, which will also directly determine the championship. With limited staffing, how to win with less effort should be Ferguson's top priority. Despite the scene
It's not as passionate as it was at the beginning of the season, but in these consecutive small wins, the Red Devils are making steady progress.
However, the devil's game has not yet begun, and Manchester United will suffer losses again.
Premier League giant Manchester United coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed on the 3rd that the team's main forward, "Little Pea" Hernandez will be injured in 2011 due to a sprained ankle in the game against Aston Villa.
Year.
Hernandez, who is fondly called "The Magic Bean" by Manchester United fans, was injured in the 12th minute of the game. At that time, Hernandez was running without contact with anyone.
Suddenly fell down in the Villa penalty area. After falling to the ground, the Mexican covered his ankle with a painful expression. After emergency treatment by the team doctor, he was carried off the field on a stretcher.
"The injury is a torn ankle ligament and he (Hernandez) will be out for about four weeks," Ancelotti said after the game.
The "Red Devils" are currently full of injured players. Cleverley, Mata and other midfielders and frontcourt players have been hit by injuries one after another. The Italian coach is also very worried about this. "We are currently suffering from injuries, but we are good. The lineup in the team is enough to cope with this difficult period."[
However, the hard days have not yet begun. In the third round draw of the FA Cup held later, former China international Li Tie gave Manchester United a big problem.
Li Tie and Zola's magical draw in the third round draw ceremony of the FA Cup brought Manchester United and Manchester City together, and the Red Devils and Manchester United also had an early opportunity to avenge the last Manchester derby defeat.
Manchester United boss Rio Ferdinand has already started gearing up. He said: "The third round of the FA Cup against Manchester City. This will be a great decisive battle in the FA Cup this season. I can't wait!" Manchester United legend Yorke also said Pointed out: "The timing of this showdown is more suitable for Manchester United. If Manchester United wins, it will only bring some doubts to Manchester City's psychology, but it will bring a new motivation to Manchester United."
Former Manchester City "Chairman" Francis Lee said somewhat provocatively: "In the past two years, the strength of these two teams has been very close, but 6-1 will give Manchester City a psychological advantage." Now 53 years old. The famous former Manchester City midfielder Gary Owen also said: "Manchester United will not like this matchup at all. Yes, they want revenge in their hearts, but it is difficult for them. Whether it can really be realized is completely up to them. Another thing."
There is still one month left before the Manchester Derby in the FA Cup. Compared with revenge against Manchester City, advancing to the top 16 of the Champions League is the top priority for Manchester United. However, Xiaowu suffered a torn ligament in the Premier League match against Villa. He will be out for 4 weeks due to injury, which has cast a shadow over the prospect of Manchester United's life-or-death away game against Basel.
With Xiao Wandou injured, it is very important whether Welbeck, who has just returned from injury, can quickly regain his form, and whether Mata, who was injured in Manchester United's match against Crystal Palace last Wednesday, can provide emergency relief.
In this regard, Ancelotti said: "We are going through a bad period at the moment that is plagued by injuries, but that is why we have formed a big team. Fortunately, Welbeck is back on the court. The 15 minutes he played against Villa were good, so he's an option for Wednesday (Champions League). But he hasn't had much contact with football in recent times (due to injury) and that's something I would consider It has to be carefully considered. I think Nani has always done a good job, and Valencia has also done a great job after coming off the bench. Therefore, we still have some options in the frontcourt. We may also welcome back a healthy horse. tower."
Portuguese winger Nani, who Ancelotti relies heavily on in the midfield, also expressed his confidence in winning the Champions League life-and-death battle in midweek: "We have already adapted to such pressure, and we have enough experience to go to Basel and win. Manchester United have been competing in the Champions League for many years and we have the spirit, experience and maturity to win this game. Situations like this will bring out the best in the team and it will bring out the best in our squad. Everyone is paying attention."
All bets are off! Manchester United could not escape the judgment of fate after all. They lost 1-2 to Swiss champion Basel in an away game. They failed to qualify from the Champions League group stage again after 6 years, and instead fell to the second level of the Europa League.
Competition.
Such a terrible result will have a fatal blow to the confidence of Manchester United people and the team's increasingly stretched financial situation. And the culprit of all this is Manchester United's "vampire boss" Malcolm
-Courtesy of Glazer.
In the six-year reincarnation, people have witnessed with their own eyes how the Americans turned the most profitable club in the world into a poor team that is heavily in debt and lives by tightening its belt.
In the summer of 2005, when the American billionaire Malcolm Glazer announced the acquisition of the Premier League giant Manchester United for 7.9 billion pounds, everyone realized that this club, which has a strong influence in world football, would enter a new era.
Times - but also a very worrying time.
Previously, Manchester United had been jointly controlled by multiple shareholders, so it was able to achieve a good financial balance and earn huge off-field profits every year. However, the arrival of the Glazer family not only completely turned the team into a dictatorship
The target of the acquisition has made the Red Devils heavily in debt and has since embarked on a "debt repayment road": when acquiring Manchester United, the Americans only paid 27.2 billion of the 7.9 billion pounds in cash, while most of the other funds were through
Raised through loans, even the "most valuable club in the world" cannot bear the burden of such a huge debt burden.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, Manchester United has been recruiting and spending a lot of money, and has successively introduced absolute superstars such as Veron, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ferdinand, Ronaldo, and Rooney.
However, since Glazer took over Manchester United, the team has started to live frugally. Even if they occasionally spend a lot of money to buy people, they cannot hide the fact that Manchester United is "short of money": in the 2005-06 season, Manchester United introduced Evra.
, Park Ji-sung, Van der Sar, Foster and Vidic, these powerful players, cost only 28 million pounds in total, but the fact that they were eliminated from the Champions League group stage and lost to Chelsea in the league championship shows that they only bought this
A few players are never enough.
In the summer of 2006, Manchester United spent a total of 24 million pounds to introduce England midfielder Carrick from Tottenham who was in great form at the time. He took over the legendary No. 16 jersey and made great contributions to Manchester United's return to the league championship after three years;
In 2007, Manchester United continued their efforts, spending 80 million pounds to buy Anderson, Nani, and Hargreaves, and loaned out the Argentine "Beast" Tevez. That season, Manchester United won the Premier League and Champions League double crown.
If it hadn't been for the fact that a year later, Manchester United people bought the long-coveted Everton striker Li Yu, the glorious record that followed would never have happened again. Manchester United's No. 9 brought huge business opportunities and profits, further expanding Manchester United's
The brand's influence in Asia means that it is impossible to continue all the good luck.
However, something unexpected happened. The financial crisis that began in 2008 and swept the world soon spread to the Premier League. Almost all of his business was in the United States, the "financial disaster area". Glazer, the "Manchester United owner", soon
His true colors as an "American businessman" were soon revealed and he led Manchester United into the abyss.
In the summer of 2009, Manchester United somewhat unexpectedly sold its star player Cristiano Ronaldo to La Liga giant Real Madrid for a world record worth of 80 million pounds. Ferguson, who had previously claimed that "not even a virus is sold to Real Madrid", finally
He broke his promise and only spent 25 million pounds to buy Valencia, Obotan, Diouf, and the "old golden boy" Owen for free.
Last season, Manchester United, which was in deep financial crisis, once again chose "cheap goods" in the transfer market. They also spent 25 million pounds to buy "little peas" Hernandez, Smalling, Lindegaard, and
Portuguese parallel import Beibei.
Relying on Sir Alex Ferguson's strong personnel scheduling ability and the concerted efforts of the players, and taking advantage of the poor state of other giants in the league, Manchester United won the 19th top league championship, surpassing Liverpool to become the real king of England, and passed the test to enter the league.
He won the Champions League final and finally retired.
What is even worse is the situation this season: Manchester United spent nearly 50 million pounds to introduce De Gea, Phil Jones and Mata.
But as the saying goes, "Good steel must be used on the blade": After losing Scholes, Manchester United was extremely short of available players at the central midfielder position, but they did not spend money on this place where they were most needed.
What is even more depressing is that this summer Manchester United had the opportunity to introduce top organizers in world football such as Sneijder and Nasri, but in the end they gave up due to "short pockets" such as transfer fees and player wages.
The lack of reinforcements ultimately led to the loss of the opportunity to compete for two championships before the season was even halfway through.
Cruel facts prove that spending money is the last word. And for the occurrence of this tragedy, the "culprit" Glazer is hard to blame and must accept the angry trial of the fans!
Ancelotti is characterized by being obedient and good at using existing personnel to ensure results, but the new coach has not been able to maintain Manchester United's glory in recent years.
In recent years, economic forces outside football have greatly impacted world football. Clubs including Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams have been acquired by wealthy businessmen, using huge checks to attract global superstars to join.
And veteran giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona have embarked on their own football path with stable financial income and a strong youth training system. However, Manchester United, on the other hand, has a huge gap in strength between the second team and the first team, resulting in a lack of success.
, the club's finances are in dire crisis again.
Most of the income is used by the American boss to pay off debts, how can the team improve its strength? It can be said that if "Vampire" Fraser is in office for one more day, Manchester United fans will have to spend an extra 24 hours in fear. This way
Manchester United could not be saved even if Ferguson did not retire and remained in charge.
There were rumors this summer that members of the Qatari royal family wanted to buy Manchester United for 1.8 billion pounds, but they were rejected by the money-grubbing Americans. But in any case, I believe that when the Glazer family leaves the club one day, all Manchester United people will
There are four words in my heart: Very satisfying.
