Manchester United coach Carlo Ancelotti has slammed Premier League rivals Arsenal for keeping the situation secret from him regarding Robin van Persie's transfer.
According to British media, the Gunners' attitude is that if Manchester United buys Van Persie, it must pay more than other buyers.
Ancelotti said that since Manchester United made an offer for Van Persie, Arsenal has been hiding the situation from him and keeping him informed of the latest developments. "It is difficult to understand why they operate in such a way," Ancelotti said
Said, "We have been trying our best, but so far there is still no progress."
"You all know that Manchester United made an offer, but Arsenal has been trying to negotiate with other clubs. They have not given us any information and we have not had any breakthroughs so far." Ancelotti was in Manchester United's penalty kick loss.
He said this after the Barcelona friendly match. The loss seemed to put him in a bad mood, so much so that he began to complain about the progress of the transfer.
According to the "Sun", Manchester United's offer for the Dutch center is 15 million pounds, but Arsenal's asking price is more than 20 million pounds. The "Sun" said that an insider close to Robin van Persie revealed that the Dutchman is keen to transfer
He will go to Manchester United, but Manchester City is still under consideration. Historically, Arsenal coach Wenger has never sold any Manchester United player. He prefers to sell Robin van Persie to Juventus.
There had been rumors before that Van Persie would go to Manchester United for a medical examination, but now it seems that this news is not reliable. Ancelotti said: "I can't give you more news at the moment, we can only continue to insist."
"We are still working hard, hoping that it will eventually develop in our favor, but there is still no progress."
According to the "Daily Mirror", Arsenal did treat Manchester United differently when it came to the sale of Robin van Persie. Wenger did not want to sell the Dutchman to the Red Devils because he regarded Manchester United as a direct competitor of the Premier League. "Every
The Daily Mirror said that even if they really want to sell Van Persie, Arsenal's minimum asking price for other teams is 20 million pounds, while for Manchester United, they want 25 million pounds.
In the transfer market, another blow suffered by Manchester United was that Paris Saint-Germain officially announced the signing of Brazilian talented young star Lucas Moura. Lucas was also the target of the Red Devils before. Paris paid 45 million for this
The transfer fee was around euros, which also surprised Ancelotti.
In fact, Ancelotti has long known that Lucas's first choice is not Manchester United. When Brazil played South Korea in the men's football semifinals of the London Olympics on Tuesday night, Ancelotti did not watch the game live, but flew away from Manchester.
.However, the Manchester United coach still feels a little incredible about Paris' generosity.
"I think it's astonishing that a club can pay 45 million euros for a 19-year-old kid," Ancelotti said. "Paris told everyone that they existed and that they had signed Thiago
Silva and Ibrahimovic, they spent about £150 million in the last month."
"The only one who holds a different view on this is UEFA. Under the current conditions of European football, it may be time to consider the distribution principle of European qualifications. Winning the league or finishing second may not necessarily qualify for the European competitions. It is necessary to obtain an invitation.
This is where UEFA's power lies. When someone pays 45 million euros for a 19-year-old kid, you can only say football is crazy."
The new Premier League season will start in half a month. Manchester United's first opponent is Everton, but the Red Devils, who have significantly improved their offensive capabilities, are facing a crisis in their defense.
The unlucky Ferdinand may face punishment for his comments on Twitter, which will affect morale before the season even begins.
What worries Ancelotti even more is injuries: Smalling fractured his toe and it will take two months to return to the field; Evans has already missed the team's warm-up matches in South Africa and Asia due to foot surgery. Will he be able to play in the season? Timely recovery is still a problem. The only good news comes from Vidic, who has been away from the game for eight months. He will appear in the friendly match between Oslo and Valerunga.
If things go well, the Red Devils captain is most likely to partner Phil Jones as a central defender in the first round of the league.
In December last year, Vidic tore his cruciate ligament in the Champions League match against Basel and went through an eight-month recovery period. The friendly match in Norway was his first official game. Vidic's return coincided with Catch up on Manchester United's final preparations before the league campaign.
Today, the Manchester United camp is finally in order. The core players who participated in the European Cup, such as Li Yu, Evra, Mata and Nani, have all returned. They are all expected to get game time in the game against Vallelunga.
Manchester United seems to have everything ready, but their city rivals seem to be in some trouble.
What marks the beginning of the Premier League transfer market?
Answer one: Arsenal is preparing to sell their captain; answer two: Manchester City is waving their checkbook to buy people everywhere again.
This summer is a bit unusual. Manchester City, which has controlled the Premier League transfer market for several consecutive seasons, has so far been blank in recruiting players. Hargreaves left as a free agent, and Wayne Bridge went to Brighton on loan. A lot of players from the reserve team left, but none of them joined the defending Premier League champions!
Strictly speaking, Mancini has not made any changes to the first-team lineup so far.
In this extremely competitive season, the Glazer family, which is preparing to raise funds through a public offering, has been generous and has given Ancelotti more than 100 million pounds in transfer reserves. Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are also recruiting. Of all the talented people, only Blue Moon stood still.
Last Saturday, the entire Manchester United team flew to Norway to play a friendly match, but Ancelotti remained in Manchester.
Sources say that Anshuai is keeping an eye on Brazilian midfielder Lucas and Arsenal forward Robin van Persie in order to continue to step up his recruitment efforts. The latter is the biggest bait in this summer's transfer market and has a lot to do with it.
But Mancini seems to have surrendered without a fight. Although the Dutchman has always been his number one target, he has admitted that he cannot win the battle for Van Persie before the price war has begun. Therefore, Juventus and Manchester United are left with two clubs to fight for. .
Manchester City lacks a world-class forward with team spirit. During the sprint period in the second half of last season, Mancini did not like Dzeko. In fact, there was only one Aguero he could trust in the forward line.
In order to cope with the forward crisis, he broke his promise and asked Tevez to save the game again. The top three forwards in the current lineup are Aguero, Balotelli and Tevez, but the last two are bombs in the locker room. Even so, Mancini seemed unable to make any changes.
AC Milan hopes to bring in the Bosnia and Herzegovina striker on loan and bear the full weekly salary of 170,000 pounds and the option to buy out next summer, but Manchester City is not interested in this kind of transaction.
Mancini said: "It is unlikely that we will sell Dzeko."
Separate players from Milan. In January this year, AC Milan originally wanted to introduce Carlos Tevez in the same way, but was rejected by Manchester City.
It seems that the team only favors the permanent transfer method once and for all, but the weekly wages of Dzeko and Tevez are too high, and few clubs can pay huge transfer fees while still offering attractive salaries.
Several potential deals at Manchester City have been stuck with transfer fees or wage demands, something unheard of over the past three seasons.
In addition to Van Persie, Liverpool has offered a price of 22 million pounds for central defender Agger. The Dane currently has only two years left on his contract and has a long history of injuries. Although Mancini is very fond of Agger, this deal
Still stranded.
A record loss of 197 million goes back to the 201011 season, which was the third season when the Mansour family of Abu Dhabi took over Manchester City. In that financial year, Mancini bought a total of 7 top players. Jerome Bo
Aten 10.5 million, Dzeko 27 million, David Silva 26 million, Yaya Toure 24 million, Krarov 19 million, Balotelli 24 million and Milner 26 million, in terms of buying people
Mancho spent a total of 157 million pounds in one year!
In this year, Manchester City set a record loss in English history, with a total loss of 197 million pounds for the entire financial year, 56 million more than the 141 million pounds created by Chelsea in 2005.
When this data was released, the world football world was in an uproar, especially since UEFA had already introduced Financial Fair Play (ffp) regulations. At that time, Ferguson criticized Manchester City's way of buying players as "suicidal". Two years later
, Manchester City almost defeated Manchester United to win the league championship.
How are Manchester City preparing to deal with the Financial Fair Play regulations starting from the 2014-15 season? The regulations will be officially implemented before the 2014-15 season. UEFA will analyze the financial annual reports of top clubs in the previous three years (starting from the 2011-12 season) and require that their total losses cannot exceed 45 million.
Euros (£38.5m).
This loss is mainly included in "football-related" expenses, that is, player purchases and salary expenses. Therefore, the 201011 season is the last season that is not included in UEFA's consideration. In fact, during Manchester City's crazy buying
It reveals some rationality.
Financial Fair Play is difficult to meet. Graham Wallers, the club's chief operating officer, said after the release of the huge loss financial statement in the autumn of 2011: "To implement the accelerated investment strategic plan, we have expected such a loss, but we ensure that such a situation
It will not be repeated in the future. This financial situation represents Manchester City's bottom line on losses, after which the club will move forward in a sustainable manner in all aspects. The club is currently undergoing a commercial transformation, and we are all aware of UEFA's financial
Fair play regulations will be implemented soon and we will maintain an active dialogue with all football authorities."
Starting from the 201112 season, Manchester City's transfer progress slowed down. In the summer, the two major transactions were Aguero for 38 million and Nasri for 25 million. In the winter, Manchester City did not make any moves in the transfer market - this situation also
It lasted until this summer.
At the same time, due to participation in the Champions League and soaring performance, Manchester City's commercial income has gradually increased. In the 201011 season, Manchester City's annual income increased by 22.5%, and it is possible to further increase in the 201112 season.
After all, it can be seen that Manchester City has a plan to meet the requirements of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act.
But reducing the loss from 197 million pounds to 38.5 million pounds is really difficult. The biggest problem is the skyrocketing salary bill, which may be difficult to keep pace with the income growth.
In the 201011 season, Manchester City's salary expenses reached 174 million pounds, second only to Chelsea (190 million) and higher than Manchester United (153 million) in the same city. But in terms of income, Manchester City is not even half of the Red Devils.
Manchester United's revenue that year reached 331 million pounds, and commercial income, television broadcasting and match-day revenue all exceeded 100 million. Due to the lack of fan base, Manchester City still needs to accumulate if it wants to catch up with the Red Devils in this regard.
Under the current team salary structure system that remains high, simply not signing players is not enough to solve Blue Moon's problem. In order to attract superstars, offering salaries that violate market rules has now become a self-inflicted problem.
Just a few days later, Manchester United, thanks to Ancelotti's efforts, broke another good news.
The transfer of Van Persie has suddenly come to light. Arsenal has officially started negotiations with Manchester United on the transfer of Robin van Persie. The Red Devils' years as the Premier League silver boots striker last season may be around the corner.
The latest news from the "Daily Mail" revealed that Manchester United and Arsenal have officially discussed the transfer of Van Persie on Tuesday night, local time in the UK. According to officials within the two clubs, the deal
It is expected to be officially announced this Saturday, UK time, when the new Premier League season starts.
"Daily Mail" stated that Manchester United's last offer for Van Persie was very close to the minimum transfer amount officially required by Arsenal - 20 million pounds. The two sides may discuss the price within the next 48 hours.
An agreement was reached, and at the same time, the Mirror revealed that the final transaction price will be more than 20 million pounds.
The Sun gave a more accurate figure: 22 million pounds! However, Arsenal is still trying to increase the transfer fee to 25 million pounds.
Because only Van Persie's contract with Arsenal was left, Ancelotti had only offered a price of 15 million pounds for the Dutch flying star. This was something Arsenal could not tolerate. The two clubs agreed to Van Persie's contract.
The transfer matter had reached a deadlock. However, with the withdrawal of Manchester City, Van Persie's transfer case suddenly took a 180-degree turn one day ago, and the two Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal resumed contact.
It seems that Robin van Persie is really going to transfer to Manchester United!
According to the "Mirror", "Daily Mail" and many other British media reports, Arsenal has planned to give up Robin van Persie, and they are likely to let the Dutch striker join Manchester United for a price of 22 million pounds.
The major change in Arsenal's attitude is inseparable from Wenger's statement.
According to the "Mirror", in order to get Van Persie, former Manchester United coach Ferguson secretly met with Wenger in person and successfully persuaded the French coach to let him go! Once Van Persie's transfer is completed, he will become the first Arsenal player from Assen since Wenger coached Arsenal.
A player who transferred directly to Manchester United.
Ferguson had previously confirmed Manchester United's interest in Van Persie in interviews, but Arsenal was unwilling to negotiate with Manchester United. Ferguson was worried that Wenger was causing trouble. He speculated that Wenger was more willing to sell Van Persie to Juventus.
Wenger had also previously expressed his tough attitude towards keeping Van Persie: "Van Persie scored 30 goals last season. Of course we want to keep our best player." It seems that Van Persie's transfer is no longer possible, but just After 48 hours, Arsenal's attitude changed 180 degrees, which was inseparable from Ferguson's personal plea to Wenger.
Although Ferguson has left Manchester United now, he is still thinking about Manchester United. Relying on his entangled friendship with Wenger, he can once again contribute to Manchester United.
In the final analysis, the Premier League is still developing, and the relationship between the two clubs is also different from the past.
During the Ferguson era, as Manchester United's biggest title rival before the rise of Chelsea, Arsenal led by Arsene Wenger had always given Ferguson troubles.
The two sides definitely don't want to see the other party become stronger, so in the transfer market, Manchester United and Arsenal naturally have no contact with each other.
Since taking over Arsenal in 1996, Wenger has never sold any of his players to Manchester United. Although the Red Devils sold French defender Silvestre to Arsenal at an extremely low price in 2008, Silvestre was Stern cannot play games at Manchester United at all, and this transaction is also in the nature of dealing with redundant personnel.
In other words, since Ferguson and Wenger faced each other, there have been no heavyweight player transactions between the two clubs.
Although Ferguson and Wenger have always appeared to the world as mortal enemies, and the two have had fierce conflicts many times, in recent years, the relationship between the two has eased, and it is possible that they can smile and forget their grudges. Feel.
If Van Persie's transfer is finally completed, it will be the best explanation for the happy enemies. Not only will it be the first heavyweight transaction between Manchester United and Arsenal in 16 years, but it will also mean that the 16-year relationship between Ferguson and Wenger will be over. The emotional ice will be completely broken.
Li Yu certainly hopes to have a high-level partner again. In an interview, he said: "Van Persie is a player I admire. His performance at Arsenal over the years has been amazing. of!"
When asked to look forward to the forward partnership of Li Yu + Van Persie, Li Yu said: "I really want to look forward to this, but you have to ask the head coach Mr. Ancelotti. Manchester United already has many forwards, myself, Welbeck, Hernandez and Robin van Persie also came to the Red Devils. Therefore, there are many forwards competing for positions."
Li Yu also warned city rival Manchester City, saying that the opponent will be the target of public criticism this season. In the competition for the new season, Manchester City with a strong lineup is one of the biggest favorites, but Li Yu believes that it is absolutely impossible for Manchester City to win the championship again. easy.
