In this European Cup, the Dutch team performed dismally, and the Oranje lost three games and were eliminated at the bottom of the group.
The main striker Robin van Persie also started his vacation early. This is not necessarily good news for his club Arsenal. The "Daily Mail" stated that Manchester City has already planned to start purchasing Van Persie.
"Daily Mail" stated that Arsenal and Manchester City have not yet reached an agreement on the transfer of Robin van Persie, but this seems to be an inevitable trend.
Manchester City will launch an active offensive in the next few days or weeks to deal with competition from Barcelona and Juventus. Manchester City will offer Robin van Persie a contract with a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds, which is higher than Arsenal's previous offer.
The £130,000 5 million loyalty bonus is even more attractive.
"Daily Mail" added that in order to make room for Van Persie and salary space, they will sell some forwards, such as Adebayor and Santa Cruz, Tevez is also on this list.
Now, face-to-face negotiations between Manchester City and Arsenal have been put on the agenda, including private negotiations between Manchester City and Van Persie himself.
Arsenal still maintains the attitude of hoping to keep Robin van Persie. They hope that the Dutchman can follow the team to participate in their Asian tour warm-up matches (including Malaysia on July 24, Beijing on July 27 and Hong Kong on July 29).
.But now because of Manchester City's purchase, it is still unclear whether Van Persie himself can make the trip.
In addition to the forward line, Manchester City is also preparing to make some additions to the back line. The Blue Moon Legion's current main central defender combination is Kompany Lescott. Mancini is not satisfied with the team's substitutes Kolo Toure and Savic.
, they are preparing to buy Liverpool's main defender Skrtel.
Recently, Skrtel's agent Carol Sistento claimed to the media that Skrtel needs to think about his future. Sistento said: "There have been some changes in Liverpool now, and Scott
You need to understand the goals and situation of the club. Of course, we will sit down with the club and talk about the new contract."[
There are two years left on the contract between Skrtel and Liverpool. If he cannot see a future in Liverpool, Skrtel will consider a transfer.
Manchester City almost won their first Premier League title in 44 years in the 2011-12 season, which makes them even more hungry for the league title in the new season.
Of course, Manchester City, which has abundant financial resources, is not satisfied with the current configuration. Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez has always been their target. According to the Football Tribe website, Manchester City's purchase of Martinez will face Bayern and Barcelona.
Competition. "Daily Mail" said that Biba must first accept Biba's bid. According to previous news, Biba priced Martinez at 40 million euros, equivalent to 32 million pounds.
In addition to Xavi Martinez, Manchester City's pursuit of De Rossi has long been exposed by the media. Mancini has always hoped to build a powerful double midfielder combination of De Rossi and Toure. Recently, De Rossi is
Follow the Italian team as they prepare for the 14th final against England.
The "Daily Mail" quoted De Rossi's remarks in an interview as saying that De Rossi believes that the Premier League is more attractive than Serie A. When faced with reporters' questions about Manchester City's interest, the Italian midfielder did not reject it.
He said: "I have received a lot of offers from England and I have to say they are very attractive to me. I am very interested in English football, even more than I am interested in Italian football. There are many outstanding talents in the Premier League.
Players, and of course La Liga is the same."
Among the candidates that Manchester City likes, there are also players that Manchester United wants to get, Robin van Persie is one of them, and then there is Skrtel.
Ancelotti will have to compete fiercely with Manchester City if he tries to bring in two players.
As both league competitors, Arsenal's attitude is also worthy of attention. After all, it was Van Persie who almost supported the entire Arsenal offensive line last season, which is very similar to Li Yu.
As soon as the news came out, the most excited people were the fans of Manchester United. Just imagine how frightening it would be for the opponents to have two killers appear on Manchester United's offensive line.
Coupled with Kagawa who has entered the countdown to transfer! Manchester United's future offensive line can also be called gorgeous!
On June 22, Japanese international player Shinji Kagawa left Tokyo Narita Airport in Japan and flew to Manchester to undergo a player physical examination before the official transfer to the Premier League giant Manchester United.
The 23-year-old Shinji Kagawa previously played for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga and has gradually grown into the core of the team's midfield in the past two years. He is also one of the contributors to Dortmund's "double" of the German League and Cup this season. Manchester United issued a statement on the 5th
It is said that this offensive midfielder will become their first transaction in this summer's transfer market. In addition to the player's physical examination, Shinji Kagawa also needs to obtain a British work permit, and the official transfer is expected to be completed at the end of June.
"I just went for a physical examination. I hope there won't be any problems," Shinji Kagawa said at the airport. During this trip to England, Shinji Kagawa probably did not have time to visit the Old Trafford Stadium. According to the "Asahi Shimbun" report, Ancelotti has already
Promise to arrange for him to serve as an attacking midfielder in the 4411 formation.
Two years ago, Dortmund spent only 350,000 euros to buy Shinji Kagawa from the Japanese Osaka Sakura team. The latter scored 21 goals in 49 Bundesliga games, helping Dortmund win the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive seasons. The move to Manchester United
The deal is expected to cost £12 million (approximately €15 million).
The number announced is far less than what the media reported before! At least Manchester United still has a lot of funds to chase targets in the defense and forward.[
Another news that makes people feel that the Premier League is becoming more and more exciting comes from the head coach. Villas-Boas is determined to prove himself in the Premier League.
Villas-Boas is getting closer to Tottenham and is likely to be appointed as Tottenham coach next week; and in order to prove himself in the Premier League, he is willing to give up the 11 million salary he could have received from Chelsea.
The 34-year-old Portuguese coach signed a three-year contract with Chelsea in June last year, but was fired by Chelsea in March this year due to poor coaching performance just eight months after taking office.
But when sacking Boas, Chelsea owner Abramovich agreed to continue to pay Boas a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds until he gets the next job; this payment method is to avoid a one-time payment
of high compensation.
Since being sacked, Villas-Boas has received three months' salary. But if Villas decides to take over the White Hart Lane coach, then Abramovich will stop paying him salary, and he will also
Therefore missing out on the remaining 25 months' salary - a total of £10.8m.
But reports from Portugal claim that negotiations between Villas-Boas and Tottenham have encountered financial problems.
There are even rumors that Chelsea have taken unprecedented steps to prevent Villas-Boas from joining Chelsea's Premier League rivals within 12 months; but this has been refuted by Chelsea, with a Blues spokesman saying that their former
The manager has the freedom to choose a new job from the day he leaves Stamford Bridge.
Regarding Villas-Boas's coaching prospects, former Tottenham coach Redknapp expressed his views in an interview with "Sky Sports": "He has already worked hard in English football, and he has already coached Chelsea.
For him, his goal has yet to be achieved. Tottenham chairman Dan
Neil Levy feels he can work at Tottenham and he's certainly got a good group of players in place already. I think they have a team that can finish in the top four every year and maybe even compete for trophies. That's me
From the point of view, they already have good players."
Although Tottenham do have a good lineup, they are very likely to lose their core midfielder this summer. Modric's transfer to Real Madrid for a price of 30-40 million pounds is getting closer and closer to becoming a reality, and even Van der Far
Te is also being pursued by Bundesliga club Hamburg.
In order to fill the void that Modric may leave, Tottenham will also introduce new midfield reinforcements with the arrival of Villas-Boas, and Porto midfielder Moutinho is Villas-Boas' number one signing target.
The 25-year-old midfield star was Villas-Boas's favorite when he led Porto to win the Triple Crown. Villas-Boas has been hoping to get him since joining Chelsea. Mourinho, who is the midfield organizer of the Portuguese national team,
Tinho performed well in this summer's European Cup. His contract with Porto has a buyout clause of 40 million pounds, but the "Daily Star" said that Tottenham is expected to successfully acquire Mourinho for 32 million pounds.
Tinio.
It seems that Jonker-Boas is determined to come back and regain his face. During the European Cup, his former club Chelsea players replicated a surprising and strange phenomenon in the European Cup!
With the last whistle of the Kyiv Olympic Stadium, the exciting European Cup group stage finally came to an end, and Chelsea players got their wish and advanced to the quarterfinals. When you look back at the results of Chelsea players in the European Cup group stage, you will
I found that the trend is exactly the same as Chelsea’s situation this season!
At the start of the game, Chelsea's league record was poor, falling out of the top four in the league, and they were on the verge of elimination in the Champions League, netting three goals in the away game. However, after Villas-Boas dismissed get out of class, Chelsea changed their appearance. Although there was little progress in the league, they failed in the cup competition.
It’s climbing higher and higher.
Especially in the Champions League, reversing Naples, drawing with Barcelona with ten players, miraculously reversing Bayern in the final, and winning the cup with Munich, it can be said that it is a great success!
Looking at this year's European Cup group stage, in the first round, any national team with current Chelsea players failed to win a game!
Petr Cech, who was the first to appear, faced Russia. The opponent hit 5 shots and was scored 4 goals. The Czech Republic also lost 4-1 early. Then Meireles' Portugal began to make its debut.
Deeply trapped in the group of death, he also encountered the strong rival Germany, and was defeated by Gomez without any temper. Then it was the turn of the defending champion Spain in the group. Torres came on as a substitute in a limited time. Not only did he miss two good opportunities, but the team also reluctantly
Draw with Italy and earn a draw.
In the final group, Chelsea players Terry, Ashley Cole and Malouda not only fought with each other for the first time, but also played 1-1 in a tacit understanding, allowing the Chelsea players to continue their invincible streak in the first round of the national team.
Chelsea's fortunes turned around after Di Matteo took over, and their cup results soared.
As the European Cup progresses to the second round, the national team with current Chelsea players also seems to have the aura of victory of "Di Matteo". In the second round of the European Cup, the results of Chelsea players turned out to be complete victories!
Cech's Czech Republic had surprisingly good luck, taking a 2-goal lead early and taking three points home.
Meireles' Portugal was also taken care of by the goddess of luck. Bendtner equalized twice. As the game was about to come to an end, Varela made a kill that gave the Portuguese the last laugh. The Spanish Legion also began to cheer.
After playing a triumphant song, Torres was also promoted as the starting striker. Facing Ireland, he showed his sharpness and broke through Given's gate twice.
Reminiscent of the fact that he encountered a ball shortage at Chelsea. It was after Di Matteo was coached that Torres was appointed to start against Leicester City, and he scored twice in that game! Let’s look at the England and France teams again.
They won against Sweden and Ukraine respectively, and Chelsea players became famous across the board in the national team!
However, the club's magical experience is still being imitated. In the third round of the European Cup group stage, all national teams with Chelsea players actually qualified one after another, with a 100% promotion rate!
In a life-and-death battle, Cech finally performed at the level of the club and escorted the Czech Republic to the top 8. In another life-and-death battle in Group B, Meireles' Portugal also withstood the attack of the Netherlands and successfully qualified. Then Torres' Spain
, in theory, once Croatia scores a goal, Spain is in danger of being eliminated at any time.
But in the end, at the last moment, Navas completed the winning goal to ensure that the World Cup champion qualified for the top spot.
In the group, Ukraine finally lost to England, and because Sweden's previous results were too poor, even its victory over France failed to affect the final qualifying situation. France and England both qualified together, and the ones who had the last laugh were undoubtedly Terry and Ashley.
- Cole and Malouda.
This time Chelsea Club provided 7 international players to participate in the European Cup, and the national team results of these 7 international players also went from the first round to the last round. Chelsea’s results this season are really amazing!
As the European Cup is coming to an end, the football transfer market this summer will definitely become more and more lively.
However, first Arsenal officials broke a ridiculous transfer news.
Arsenal rejected an offer from Serie A team Juventus for Dutch forward Robin van Persie. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus' offer was only 8 million pounds (about 10 million euros).
The 28-year-old Van Persie scored 37 goals in all competitions for Arsenal last season, including 30 goals in the Premier League, ranking second as the Premier League's top scorer.
With his outstanding performance, Van Persie won the Professional Footballers' Union Player of the Year and the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year last season. Since his contract will expire next summer, many European giants are currently chasing him. In addition to
In addition to Juventus, there are Manchester City, Manchester United in the Premier League and Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" said that Juventus's offer of 8 million pounds is only tentative, Arsenal will definitely not agree, and Juventus will continue to increase its offer.
Van Persie is Wenger's trump card. Despite his poor performance in this European Cup, the professor still protected his players.
Wenger said in an interview: "Van Persie deserves more trust than what he got in the Dutch team. I think he is still the best striker in Europe. I watched all his performances in the European Cup
The game, if you look at his movement, his passing, everything is really good. He didn't take some chances, but that's because of fatigue. Robin is at a higher level than other forwards, he doesn't
Just a great striker or a great player, he's an exceptional player."
However, Van Persie seems to have made up his mind to leave. After delaying signing a new contract with Arsenal and clearly stating that he wanted to win the championship, Arsenal officials are afraid that Van Persie has made up his mind to leave the team, and Van Persie is Mancini's favorite purchase this summer.
of new aid.
The "Mirror" said that in order to get Robin van Persie, Manchester City is preparing to sell Adebayor to Tottenham. Manchester City plans to offer 20 million pounds to Van Persie, who has one year left on his contract. Mancini was told that he must at least clear his name this summer.
A high-paid player, and this person is most likely Adebayor.
However, there seems to be no movement from Manchester United, and the expected news has not come out again.
What Manchester United is busy with is, of course, collecting money and playing commercial games around the world.
Manchester United officially confirmed that summer new signings Shinji Kagawa and Powell will accompany the team to participate in Manchester United's warm-up matches in South Africa and China. These two new signings will play an important part in Manchester United's series of warm-up matches this summer.
Shinji Kagawa and Powell will fly to Durban with the team on July 16 to prepare for the warm-up match against AmaZulu on the 18th.
So far, Manchester United has announced 5 warm-up matches, namely: against AmaZulu in Durban, South Africa on July 18; against Ajax Cape Town in Cape Town on July 21; July 25
On August 5, they will play against Shanghai Shenhua in Shanghai, China; on August 5, they will play against Valerenga in Oslo, Norway; and on August 8, they will play against Barcelona in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Although many big-name players are interested in Manchester United's warm-up plan this summer, Ancelotti promised that he would field "the strongest possible lineup."
Ancelotti said in an interview with Manchester United's official website: "We are all looking forward to the pre-season trip. With the European Cup and the Olympics this summer, it will be difficult for us to put together the strongest lineup. The final pre-season game
The lineup has not been decided yet, but we will bring the strongest lineup possible."
"I'm pleased to confirm that our new signings Shinji Kagawa and Powell will be included in our pre-season squad, along with some experienced players including Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Park Ji-sung."
"I've always said how important it is for us to have a good pre-season. We saw at the beginning of last season how much a good pre-season can affect our season. We are in
South Africa and China have incredible supporters and I'm looking forward to returning to those two countries to start our preparations for the new season."
It is reported that Manchester United captain Vidic and defender Smalling cannot travel with the team due to injuries. Fletcher is recovering from illness and will naturally not participate in the pre-season tour.
In addition, Giggs, De Gea, and Mata will participate in the Olympics. The "Daily Mail" stated that Li Yu will not appear in the South Africa game, and Manchester United No. 9 is basically determined to join the team in China.
At the same time, Manchester United officially announced that Norwood rejected the Red Devils' contract extension and chose to join the British Championship team Huddersfield as a free agent. The 21-year-old central midfielder signed a three-year contract with Huddersfield.
