Although the league has ended, the war in the transfer market has just begun.
Arsenal signed Podolski in advance, and Chelsea, the new Champions League champion, has also finalized the transfers of Marin and Hazard. Porto forward Hulk is also close to joining, and they lost the battle for Hazard. Manchester United seems to be lagging behind.
There were previous reports that Manchester United would sign Japanese star Shinji Kagawa this week, but no official transfer news has been announced yet.
According to the "Manchester Evening News", Dortmund sporting director Zorc has confirmed that Manchester United and Dortmund have basically reached an agreement on the transfer fee. Kagawa Shinji's transfer fee is expected to be 15 million pounds, plus some additional terms, up to It can reach £20 million.
Although Dortmund gave the green light for Shinji Kagawa to transfer to Manchester United, the player himself and Manchester United have not agreed on personal terms.
Shinji Kagawa played 31 times in the league for Dortmund in the season that just ended, scoring 13 goals and 8 assists. He is currently preparing for the two World Cup qualifiers against Oman and Jordan with the Japanese national team.
It is reported that Manchester United will finalize the final contract details with Shinji Kagawa after these two games.
In addition, Manchester United is also trying hard to lure midfielder Modric from Tottenham.
Ancelotti believes that Tottenham's failure to break into the Champions League for two consecutive seasons will accelerate the departure of Croatian midfielders.[
Manchester United's primary goal next season is to defend the league title and strive to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, but their lack of creativity in the midfield is an indisputable fact. The addition of Modric can solve this problem.
The 26-year-old Modric is currently worth as much as 40 million pounds. Tottenham Chairman Levy's attitude is very tough: any team that wants to get Modric must negotiate at this price. Although Ancelotti is against Modric Qi is eager for talent, but Manchester United will not pay more than 30 million pounds in transfer fees. Anshuai hopes that Modric can put pressure on Tottenham and show his determination to join Manchester United.
The joining of "Little Pea" Hernandez has given Manchester United a taste of the sweetness, and the Red Devils are also preparing to continue to find more outstanding young players in the gold mine of the Mexican League.
According to reports, Manchester United are now competing with Liverpool for the twin stars of Mexican League Pachuca team Hector Herrera and Marco Bueno.
Herrera is 22 years old and is currently preparing with the Mexico U23 national team for the Toulon Cup that will open in France. The rising midfielder will also appear at the London Olympics. Bueno was selected to represent Mexico's U17 last year. team, and won the U17 World Youth Championship championship trophy with the team in their home country.
Pachuca president Jesus Patino revealed in an interview with "rzeportv": "Not only Liverpool, but also Manchester United are chasing these two young players, but we believe that these two should first be consolidated and improved in the Mexican League. .”
This summer's Old Trafford will not only attract several newcomers, but also welcome back a veteran with outstanding achievements. According to "The Sun" and "Daily Mail", former Manchester United legendary goalkeeper Schmeichel Will return to the club as Manchester United's ambassador.
The 48-year-old Schmeichel has won 5 league championships, 1 Champions League championship, 1 League Cup championship and 3 FA Cup championships for Manchester United in his eight-year career with the Red Devils. After winning the unprecedented Triple Crown, he chose to leave the team.
Although Schmeichel played for Manchester United's rivals Manchester City at the end of his career, this did not affect his status in the hearts of Red Devils fans.
Schmeichel is well-deserved to be elected as the Manchester United ambassador. He honorably joins the ranks of Bobby Charlton, Bryan Robson, Gary Neville and others.
When talking about Gary Neville, we cannot fail to mention his current status as assistant coach of the England team.
From player to commentator, and finally to coaching, Gary Neville's journey was inseparable from the teachings of his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson. According to the former Manchester United captain, when he accepted the position of England assistant coach, his first thought was
The person who informed him was Ferguson.
Gary Neville said in an interview with "The Sun": "Before I met Hodgson, I knew this was the job I wanted, and although the decision had been made, I still wanted Ferguson to be the first to know.
When I nervously walked into his office to tell him the news, I discovered that he had known about it 10 days ago, and Hodgson had actually exchanged views with him before."
Gary Neville called his participation in the European Cup as an assistant coach "the most special moment in his life", but his old friend Ferdinand was not so lucky. Hodgson ultimately did not select the 33-year-old to England.
The big list also means that the national team career of this defense leader may come to an end.
However, Ferdinand is not ready to give up. He believes that he can maintain a high level for a few more years. Even if he has to retire in the end, he will not leave football, but will become a coach like many of Ferguson's disciples.[
Ferdinand said in an interview with the "Daily Mail": "I have had the idea of being a coach or team manager a long time ago. Not only do I like to learn various techniques and tactics of football, but I also think that I can do my duty every day.
To motivate players and help them perform their best. Personnel management has become very important nowadays, and I think I will fall in love with this aspect of work."
It is not difficult to see that the stingy Manchester United is not ready to spend a lot of money to introduce players, and the older generation of players from the Ferguson era are beginning to find a way out for their future retirement life.
Manchester United is faced with an unprecedented choice in this game, whether to completely change the regime or wait for a miracle while patching things up.
Ancelotti definitely doesn’t want his second season to be like last season. Signings are a must, as is increased investment. Ancelotti has been putting constant pressure on the club’s top brass, either giving him money or resigning.
.
In fact, this year is the beginning of the European Cup, and the already somewhat inflated transfer value is bound to further increase with the players' performance in the competition.
Manchester United does not want to spend too much in the big competition year, but it seems that it will not survive the whole year. Ancelotti rarely continues to put pressure on the top management. It is obvious that Manchester United's current strength cannot satisfy him.
Finally good news came. On the afternoon of June 5, Manchester United officially announced to the outside world through the team’s official website that it had reached an agreement with the Dortmund Club on the transfer of Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa. Shinji Kagawa will officially play next season.
Playing for Manchester United in the Red Devils jersey, this is also the first acquisition of Manchester United this summer.
Shinji Kagawa will next undergo a physical examination arranged by Manchester United and wait for the club to apply for a labor certificate. At the same time, Manchester United's official website revealed that the transaction will be completed before the end of this month. As for the details of this transfer, Manchester United
Although the official website did not disclose it, the "Daily Mail" confirmed that Ancelotti's team spent 17 million pounds in transfer fees to acquire the Japanese midfielder, and the player only had one year left on his contract.
.
After signing Japanese star Shinji Kagawa, Manchester United has made further progress in recruiting midfielders. According to British media, the Red Devils are very close to signing Tottenham's Croatian midfielder Modric.
"The Sun" reported that "Modric is already on his way to Manchester United." The newspaper said that Red Devils coach Carlo Ancelotti made an offer of 25 million pounds to Tottenham, and based on the number of appearances, the honors received
Under other terms, the total transfer fee can be increased to 30 million pounds.
In terms of personal contracts, the 26-year-old Modric will get a four-year contract from Manchester United with a total value of 26 million pounds. His weekly salary is about 125,000 pounds, which is also among the Manchester United team.
High income earners.
Just last summer, Chelsea had hoped to acquire Modric, but was firmly rejected by Tottenham. However, the situation has changed now. Since Modric never renewed his new contract, Tottenham was squeezed out of next season by Chelsea.
In the Champions League (the Blues can compete in the Champions League to defend their title, while Tottenham, fourth in the Premier League, can only play in the Europa League), the Croatian has long been interested.
In addition to Modric, "The Sun" said that Ancelotti will also explore some talents in his own youth training this summer. Pogba will be promoted to the first team and will sign a good contract.
Pogba, who originally planned not to renew his contract, finally chose to stay with the team after a long night of talks with Ancelotti. What commitment they have between them can only be proven on the field in the new season.
Ancelotti is different from his predecessor Ferguson in that he is good at communicating with players. When signing the new contract, he also vowed that Manchester United will definitely allow this young man to find a stable position in the future.
It can be said that Manchester United, which has been criticized for its defensive midfielder position, finally made a bold attempt. People suddenly discovered that if everything comes true, Manchester United's midfielder will definitely be full of talents. Kagawa, Modric,
Pogba and Mata are all talented and capable players. Manchester United's supplements have begun to bear fruit, and then Ancelotti began to focus on the back line.
"Introducing another backcourt and forward player will complete this summer's mission!"
This is Ancelotti's original words. The two players that have been introduced have already spent about 5,000 pounds. If two more players want to join, it is estimated to cost 50 million pounds. Then Manchester United's transfer investment this summer will reach 1
One hundred million.
What an exciting figure. The stingy American boss finally stopped being stingy and opened his wallet for Manchester United.
All this must be thanked to Manchester United No. 9. Since Li Yu joined, Manchester United's income in other aspects is far ahead of other giants, especially in terms of jersey sales. In fact, the additional 50 million pounds are almost all Li Yu jerseys.
Contributed funds.
Almost every young person in China who loves football has an authentic Manchester United jersey. Although it is expensive, Chinese fans still buy it. This is Li Yu's appeal.
Without Manchester United's No. 9, the results would never be so gratifying.
The funding problem is solved, then who will be the candidate?
As many people expected, Polish striker Lewandowski scored the first goal in the opening game of this European Cup. Since Poland has not yet won a victory in the European Cup, Lewandowski could have
They may have become national heroes on this night, but Greece, the Euro 2004 champions, escaped with a tenacious performance in the second half.
Although he failed to help the team get a good start, Lewandowski's performance in this game is definitely worthy of praise. He, Blaszczykovsky, and Piszczek, the three Dortmund Musketeers, will undoubtedly
It is an important force in Poland's efforts to qualify for the group stage.
Poland, playing at home, very much hopes to achieve the goal of qualifying for the group by taking advantage of the host nation. Since the four teams in the group are relatively even in strength, the result of each game is crucial.
Poland captain Blaszczykowski said in an interview with the media before the game: "The first step is often the most important. Our first game was against Greece. I have to admit that this is the most important game in my career.
"The whole of Poland has high expectations for us, but we will only see this as an encouragement."
As the captain, Blaszczykovsky's statement had a good effect.
After the opening, Poland launched a wave of attacks against Greece. The Dortmund trio of Lewandowski, Blaszczykski, and Piszczek created excellent opportunities on the right many times. Among them
Especially Lewandowski was the most active.
In the 14th minute, the Polish team played a wonderful pass and cut cooperation on the right. Piszczek came in at high speed and passed in. Lewandowski judged the right spot, but the ball flew close to the tip of his hair and flew to the other side.
On one side, Lewandowski was just a few millimeters away from scoring!
In the 16th minute, the Greek defender made a mistake and Lewandowski tried to shoot again, but his volley was not too much of a threat. Although he missed two good opportunities, Lewandowski was destined to be the winner in this game.
The protagonist of the game.
In the 17th minute, the Polish team once again used an active counterattack to launch an offensive on the right. Captain Blaszczykovski sent a high-quality cross. Lewandowski, who was outflanking the penalty area, jumped up high.
Heading the ball in, the Dortmund striker scored the first goal of this European Cup!
This beautiful header fully demonstrated Lewandowski's keen sense of smell and excellent ability to seize opportunities. The Polish forward has scored 30 goals for Dortmund in all competitions this season, and he also performed well
His goalscoring haul carried over to the European Cup.
With his outstanding performance in Dortmund this season, Lewandowski has attracted the attention of other European giants.
Before this game, Poland coach Smuda revealed a surprising news, saying that Lewandowski has been signed by Manchester United: "I think they will leave Dortmund soon, and Lewandowski will
Kuba will join Manchester United, Kuba will go to another team in the Premier League, and Piszczek will join Real Madrid."
Lewandowski still has two years left on his contract with Dortmund, and his agent Mike Basel revealed as early as last month that the contract renewal negotiations between the two parties were not going smoothly: "The conditions offered by Dortmund cannot make Lewandowski
Wandowski is satisfied and I can confirm that Manchester United are very interested in him."
According to the "Daily Mail", Manchester United is willing to pay a transfer fee of 25 million pounds for Lewandowski. This price is already considered a good price. Considering that the player's current worth is inflated, Manchester United's offer has increased a lot.
.
"Mirror" Bundesliga expert Ross Dunbar has previously suggested that if Manchester United can introduce a striker with a style similar to Lewandowski, then he can form a frightening team with Shinji Kagawa, Li Yu and Mata.
Attack line.
Now it seems that Ross Dunbar's vision may become a reality.
Although he failed to help his country win the opening game, Lewandowski was still selected as the best player of the match by UEFA for his outstanding performance.
Coincidentally, the person who presented him with the award was Schmeichel, the former Manchester United goalkeeper and current Manchester United ambassador.
The Danish goalkeeper was full of praise for Lewandowski's performance in this game: "He is one of the young people who deserve the most attention in this tournament. Today, under such great pressure, he was able to stand up and score goals.
Such a performance, his performance is very satisfactory." If the news of Lewandowski's transfer to Manchester United is true, then Schmeichel's evaluation can be regarded as the Manchester United legend's new signing of the team.
a kind of recognition.
Lewandowski was able to score his first goal in this European Cup, thanks also to his Dortmund teammate Blaszczykovski, who made a sharp breakthrough and high quality on the right.
The cross allowed Lewandowski to score easily.
Speaking of Blaszczykovsky, we have to mention his tragic life experience. When he was 10 years old, he witnessed the tragedy of his father killing his mother by himself, and he himself was scratched by his father and had to be hospitalized. Later,
His father was imprisoned, and young Blaszczykovsky could only live under the care of his grandmother and uncle.
Such an unfair fate also allowed Blaszczykowsky, who lost the care of his parents prematurely, to develop a strong character. It must be mentioned that his uncle Brzeček was the leader of Poland at that time.
The captain of the national team, it was with his encouragement that Blaszczykovsky was able to embark on the path of football.
Now the tough midfielder can now recall this past incident calmly: "I never wanted to recall this incident before. I tried hard to forget it, but I couldn't, but now I am mature enough to talk about it.
Something." After assisting Lewandowski to score, he roared loudly at the camera. Blaszczykovsky believed that his mother in heaven would definitely be able to see his performance on the court.
Leading by 1 goal and having one more player, they were equalized by the tenacious Greek team. The main goalkeeper Szczesny was also ejected from the field with a red card. The Polish team paid a huge price for their youth. Due to the Russian 4 who kicked off later
The Czech Republic won the first place in the group with a bloodbath of 1-1, which also increased the difficulty of the Polish team qualifying for the group. Lewandowski, Blaszczykowsky and Piszczek are suspected to face in the subsequent games.
