Chelsea came from behind to defeat Bayern in the penalty shootout in the Champions League final. Its significance to the Premier League not only means that there is another Champions League champion team.
And, more importantly, it also allowed the Premier League to not be surpassed by La Liga in points after the end of this season. Currently, the Premier League’s UEFA European War points have reached 84,410 points, still beating out the Premier League with 84,186 points by a very slight advantage.

The team scored only 1,605 points;
Champions League rookie Manchester City was placed in the group of death with Bayern, Naples and Villarreal. As a result, they still failed to qualify despite reaching 10 points, and in the Europa League 116 finals due to few away goals

They survived several desperate attempts and finally defeated Bayern in the final to win the first Champions League title in team history. This season, the team scored 3,305 points in the European War.
Due to the pitifully low prize money, the Europa League has always been a European competition that the Premier League powers do not pay much attention to. The four English teams participating in the Europa League this season have very poor records.
Tottenham were placed in a weaker group, but they focused all their attention on the league. They failed to qualify for the Europa League group stage, finished fourth in the league, but automatically won the Champions League next season because Chelsea won the Champions League.

They were beaten twice by Valencia and stopped in the top 32. They scored 1,105 points in the European War this season.

The Bundesliga has occupied the title of the first league for 9 consecutive seasons. Several major leagues take turns to be the banker, and there is no permanent boss.
However, Chelsea's championship was called an ugly championship by many media.
In the summer of 2003, two Italian teams met in the Champions League final. Milan and Juventus entered the penalty shootout with a score of 0-0 after spending 120 minutes together. Milan won in the end. It was the first time in 15 years that the Champions League final was not scored.
ball.
In the summer of 2004, Porto, coached by Mourinho, defeated Monaco 3-0 in the final. This was a very deceptive score. Mourinho's team took the defensive counterattack tactics to the extreme. What followed was
In the European Championship in Portugal, Greece scored six goals and won the championship, creating miracles with extremely utilitarian tactics.
This is no coincidence. The national team coach only spends less than two months with his players every year. If he wants to find the most suitable tactics for the team, he can only adopt the "appropriation doctrine" and adopt the most advanced and already used tactics.
Tactics that have proven to be most useful are modified in detail.
In the 2002 World Cup, Scolari unexpectedly used the 352 formation to lead the Brazilian team to the championship. The background was that in the 2000-2001 season, Capello used the 352 formation in Rome to win Serie A - at that time, not only Roma, Milan, Juventus,
Inter Milan and other giants have also used the three-back tactic.
In the 2006 World Cup, Lippi's champion Italy was a replica of Juventus, which had won two consecutive Serie A championships. Although these two championships were later canceled due to the "Calciopoli" incident, they made a huge contribution to Italy's championship.
.
In the 2008 European Championship, Aragones abandoned Raul and switched to a 451 formation. In fact, he imitated the Barcelona team under Rijkaard. Although Barcelona had a poor record in 2007 and 2008, the problem was in the locker room.
Here, Barcelona's short passing skills are not flawed in football itself.
In 2010, Del Bosque led the Matadors to win the World Cup for the first time in history. From the team tactics to the personnel structure, the Spanish team was deeply imprinted with Barcelona. In addition to Casillas and Alonso in the starting lineup,
Apart from Ramos, he is either a Barcelona player or is about to join Barcelona (Villa).
Before the World Cup started, Wenger had already predicted, "This will be a tournament dominated by five midfielders." Sure enough, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and Uruguay, who reached the semi-finals, all played five midfielders. The only difference was that
The first three teams played 4231, and Uruguay played 352.
Now, Chelsea has won the Champions League with its tenacious defense and efficient counterattack, and it may be time for the national team's style to change again.
What is particularly noteworthy is that Chelsea is not an exception, but a typical representative. Mourinho's Real Madrid in La Liga, Mancini's Manchester City in the Premier League, and Conte's Juventus in Serie A. These championship teams have scored more or less goals.
But one thing is the same, that is, attaching great importance to overall defense, stabilizing one's own goal first, and then fighting for other things.
For England coach Hodgson, imitating Chelsea is obviously the best way out. He only officially took over as the coach of the Three Lions on May 1 and has not made his debut yet. England will appear in the European Championship less than 20 days later.
In such a short time, there was no time to even go to Savile Row to have a custom-made suit, let alone design a tailor-made tactic for the team.[
Destruction is easier than construction, and it is easier not to make mistakes than to induce others to make mistakes. Di Matteo also took office in a hurry to put out fires. He can transform Chelsea into a tough team in the shortest time. Hodgson has reason to believe that he can do the same.
, and more importantly, three of the defense lines that Chelsea is proud of were selected for the Three Lions: Terry, Cahill and Ashley Cole. The situation was similar to that of Italy in 2006, when the main force of the Blue Shirts
Goalkeeper Buffon, center back Cannavaro and right back Gianluca Zambrotta are all from Juventus.
Put yourself in a weak position, shrink your defense, do your best to compress the opponent's offensive space, attack with emphasis on speed, and make full use of every set-piece opportunity. This is Chelsea's magic weapon to win the Champions League, and it is also the key to England's miracles.
With Beckham and both Germans in the midfield and Owen and Rooney on the front line, England's technical football is no match for the mainland powers. Now the "golden generation" has either withdrawn from the stage or is old and wants to use offense.
Winning the title is unrealistic, learning from Chelsea this season and Greece in 2004 is the right choice.
France and Portugal are in the same situation as England. The former has not been able to get out of the shadow of Zidane, and the latter can only be regarded as the second-rate player in Europe after bidding farewell to Figo and Deco.
Chelsea's success should be a great reference for them. They should give up the unrealistic idea of reliving the dream days of the past, put down their dignity and actually improve their defense, and then use the personal abilities of Benzema, Ribery, Ronaldo and Nani.
It is not impossible to attack the opponent's defense and magically win the championship.
But people still like offensive football and hope for a full return of offensive football.
He hit the door frame twice and missed a penalty kick. He had the upper hand in 180 minutes, but was eliminated by Chelsea in the final. After 120 minutes, the number of shots was 43 to 9. In overtime, he missed a penalty kick and even a penalty kick.
They also took the lead in the war, but were eventually snatched away by Chelsea at home. Barcelona and Bayern were striving to take revenge in the European Championship. Their enemies were not only England, which had four Chelsea players, but also everyone who tried to imitate them.
Chelsea team.
Barcelona's incarnation is the Spanish national team. As long as there are no unexpected injuries, Xavi, Pique, Iniesta, Busquets and Valdes will definitely be selected for the 23-man roster, and Villa still has a chance.
The first four of them must be part of the main lineup. No matter which club players are used in other positions, the short pass control style of play that is exactly the same as Barcelona will not change. Bayern's incarnation is the German national team
, Heynckes sent seven German international players to start in the final against Chelsea, among which Neuer, Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Muller and Gomez are all expected to compete in the European Championship as the main players.
As the two most promising favorites to win the championship, the tactics of Spain and Germany have been fixed in the last European Championship and have been continuously improved over the past four years. For them, it is unrealistic to temporarily switch to Chelsea.
, they will never do this, and they will never imitate their opponents who have defeated them. They will win in the same way they always insist on, and completing revenge is their goal.
For teams trying to emulate Chelsea, these two teams are obstacles they must overcome. Only by defeating at least one of them can the championship be considered worthy.
As Chelsea's big celebrations in London City come to an end, the hustle and bustle of European football is about to come to an end!
Before the holidays even started, Manchester United announced two pieces of sad news.
Neither Owen nor Scholes will appear in Manchester United's lineup next season. Most people are already mentally prepared for Owen's departure. There will be almost no chance to play in a season. However, Scholes is different. He has already retired.
The ginger head returned from the crisis and played well for half a season, but Manchester United is no longer the era of Ferguson.
If the old man were here, he might have given Jiang a one-year contract, but now Ancelotti won't. Ancelotti now wants to transform Manchester United and integrate more of his own style. Experts say Ancelotti is an easy-to-compromise player.
The coach, when the record was poor last season, he accepted the suggestion, let Scholes return to the team, and gave him enough trust.
In the preparation stage for the new season, Anshuai also has his own persistence. When interviewed by the media, he has already admitted that if Manchester United wants to defend the league and maintain its combat effectiveness, it is time to inject new blood!
It's put more tactfully, but Anshuai's intention is already obvious. He wants money to renovate the lineup, rather than make a temporary solution.
And there will definitely be teams interested in playing Li Yu, Manchester United's only super player. Anshuai also repeatedly stated in interviews that Manchester United will not accept no matter how much the offer is, unless he is gone.
Just after the season ended, Anshuai stood up and said harsh words to other potential buyers, saying that there was no way to get Li Yu unless he was not the head coach of Manchester United.
At the same time, Manchester United officials also confirmed the news that before the start of the new season, the Red Devils Manchester United will play a warm-up match in China, and the venue of the match will be Shanghai!
According to an authoritative survey company, Manchester United only won one championship last season, but Manchester United is still the most popular club in the world. The number of fans of the Red Devils around the world is as high as 8.9 billion, accounting for about 14% of the total global population.
%. In other words, for every 10 people in the world, there is one and a half Manchester United fans!
This report was initiated by kntr, an authoritative market research organization. Through statistics and analysis of 54,000 questionnaires from 39 countries, Red Devils Manchester United was not only named the most valuable sports club in the Forbes list, but also the most valuable sports club in the world.
The team with the largest number of fans has about 8.9 billion supporters.
Specific to each continent, Manchester United has 71 million fans in the Americas, 90 million loyal fans in Europe, approximately 17.3 billion fans in Africa and the Middle East, and 5.5 billion supporters in Asia.
Among them, China has the largest number of fans, about 3.5 billion, while the number of Manchester United fans in Indonesia, India, and Vietnam has reached 55 million, 35 million, and 26 million respectively.
As we all know, who is responsible for China's uniqueness? The only superstar that Manchester United currently has is from China, which is bound to attract the support of Chinese fans.
Li Yu is more like a unique figure in China. He not only brings huge support to Manchester United, but also brings immeasurable huge value to the brand he endorses.
The kntr survey report also shows that football is still the number one sport in the world, with a total of approximately 1.6 billion fans worldwide. This number also confirms the survey results previously announced by FIFA.
Manchester United's commercial director Richard Arnold said in an interview with Manchester United's official website: "Manchester United has always insisted on cultivating idol stars, idol teams and the tradition of winning glory, such as Beckham, Sir Busby, the 68 golden generation, etc. Now. Now
Our games can be watched through television broadcasts in 11.5 billion households around the world, and the annual viewership is expected to exceed 4 billion. Having the largest fan base in the world means that Manchester United can continue to play offensive football as always.
Fight for the championship.”
"We have been looking for various ways to interact with fans, and since 2007, the number of our fans has grown dramatically. Manchester United has broadcast partners in 72 countries around the world. Last season, our viewership went from 2 billion
The number surged to 4 billion, and Manchester United fans all over the world were able to see Li Yu's wonderful overhead kick against Manchester City for the first time."
"In addition, through the 19th Champions League global tour, we have had face-to-face and close communication with Manchester United fans in 38 countries around the world, and we can also feel their enthusiasm personally. According to this survey report by kntr, Manchester United fans
The group will continue to grow stronger.”
The data used in kntr's investigative report was collected between June and August last year. Last season, Manchester United won the Premier League title and reached the Champions League final. Although the Red Devils have fallen into huge competition this season, only winning 10 points.
to the dilemma of a championship, but Arnold said that the number of Manchester United fans will not be affected by this: "According to a survey by Barclays Group, about 85% of fans will not change the team they support. Considering that it is now so high
Divorce rates are high, and fans are more loyal to their favorite sports teams than their life partners. So the idea that fans are undecided is a complete fiction."
