Robin van Persie officially joined Manchester United, and this transfer soap opera that took several months was officially announced. At Manchester United's official press conference later, Ferguson and his new disciple showed off the Red Devils' No. 20 jersey.
"Yes, I'm very happy that this long transfer negotiation is finally over. This is not an easy task. To be honest with you, Mr. Wenger is not willing to sell Van Persie to us. But Van Persie personally
Willingness plays a role, he is eager to join us, which is very important." Ancelotti said.
Next, when talking about the causes and consequences of Van Persie's joining, Ancelotti continued: "It is entirely because Van Persie is eager to join us. He rejected invitations from other clubs to join us. If he had not firmly told Arsenal's senior management that he wanted to join Manchester United,
, then I thought a deal would never happen. He wants to play for the most famous club in the world, which is fantastic."
Ancelotti revealed that he once thought that Van Persie's transfer was impossible, but when Van Persie announced his rejection of Arsenal's request for a contract extension, Manchester United asked Sir Alex Ferguson to decide to give it a try. "It started.
It didn't go so smoothly, if Robin van Persie hadn't personally found the Arsenal senior management and said to them: 'Look, I just want to go to Manchester United,' and then we expressed interest in him, there is no doubt about it."
"Then I found David Gill, and David Gill found the Glazer family, and we started the transfer process for Van Persie, but this was a few months ago. The acquisition of him
It was a long and hard operation and it was not easy, but thank God, Van Persie finally stood by my side today. This may be the most difficult acquisition in my coaching career."
"This is an inspiration to everyone. Robin van Persie and his Manchester United teammates can integrate together. The most important thing now is that we have to win in our own way, and Van Persie is the one who can help us do that.
.Some people may ask, our forward staff in the new season
How will it be combined? Robin can play 2-3 positions in the frontcourt. He played these positions at Arsenal, but last season his position was fixed at the top and he scored 37 goals, including
With 30 league goals, I think his position is at the front of the lineup."
At the same time, Ancelotti also revealed in the press conference that the club's signings are not over yet and that he is "still looking for new signings in certain positions", but these are all based on "the availability of suitable players."
On the premise of.
Van Persie also expressed his excitement about joining Manchester United: "Being able to sign with a giant like Manchester United is an honor in itself. I hope that I can follow in the footsteps of many seniors and great forwards and bring my experience to the team.
, I will do my best to help Manchester United win many great honors and laurels, and I can’t wait to wear the Manchester United shirt and play.”
Van Persie arrived in Manchester on Friday local time in the UK and passed the medical examination arranged for him by Manchester United at Bridgewater Hospital. The Daily Mail revealed that he signed a contract with Manchester United with an annual salary of up to 12 million.
The contract in pounds sterling. The news from the "Daily Mirror" said that Van Persie's weekly salary is 200,000 pounds; the "Daily Telegraph" said that Van Persie's weekly salary is also 200,000 pounds; and the news from "The Sun" is
Van Persie earns more than £200,000 a week.
In addition, regarding Van Persie's transfer fee of 24 million pounds, the BBC website confirmed that Van Persie's fixed transfer fee is 22.5 million pounds, with an additional clause of 1.5 million pounds. If in the next 4 seasons (Van Persie's contract with Manchester United is 4 years), the Red Devils
If you win a championship in the Premier League or Champions League, then this 1.5 million pound clause will automatically take effect. In other words, Van Persie's transfer fee can reach a maximum of 24 million pounds.
With the official announcement of Robin van Persie's joining on Manchester United's official website, the transfer drama of the Dutch forward has finally come to an end. As the winner of the Silver Boot Award last season, Van Persie's joining Manchester United will definitely have an important impact on the pattern of the new Premier League season. In fact, the defending champion Manchester City is also Van Persie's
One of the pursuers, but the Dutch striker himself wanted to join Manchester United, which made the Sky Blues' poaching plan come to nothing.
Nowadays, the media's attention is focused on Manchester United and Robin van Persie, which makes Manchester City, the second in the league, a little embarrassed.
According to the "Daily Mail", Mancini admitted in an interview that Robin van Persie joining Manchester United will make the Red Devils the biggest favorite to win the championship. Mancini said: "Van Persie is definitely a top star and the best player last season.
One of the strikers, he and Li Yu will become the best partnership in the Premier League. Any team that buys Van Persie will become stronger. I said last week that Manchester United will become the favorite to win the championship. I mean it. Manchester United has been the best in the past 20 years.
Fighting for the league title, we can't change that in one year."
Mancini also said that it was Manchester City who took the initiative to give up Robin van Persie. The Italian coach said: "I feel that Van Persie will stay at Arsenal or go to other teams, not us. Manchester City already has four forwards, let us add another
Signing one is impossible."
In fact, Manchester City does not need Van Persie now, because they have four forwards in Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli and Dzeko, which are enough to cope with the Premier League and European competitions.
The most noteworthy one is Tevez. The Argentine beast has completely reconciled with coach Mancini and Manchester City club. In the Community Shield match, Tevez used a shocking long shot to help Manchester City overtake the score and finally defeat
Chelsea won the championship, and Tevez used this wonderful goal to officially declare that he was ready for the new season.
According to "Sky Sports", Tevez said in an interview: "I feel brand new after I come back. I am ready for the new season. I feel better now. I only focus on football.
.I feel valued, which is very important to me. I haven’t scored a goal like that for a long time, like I often did at Boca, which means I am very confident.”
Manchester United finally got Robin van Persie as they wished, and at the same time, the Premier League is about to begin!
After experiencing one of the most bizarre and exciting Premier League seasons, fans have been waiting for nearly three months and this weekend will witness the start of the 2012-13 season. What other surprises can the Premier League bring us?
The Red Devils' primary goal in the new season is to secure the Premier League championship. Although the left back and midfielder positions of the team cannot be strengthened for the time being, and they have little chance of winning against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League, they have enough strength to aspire in the domestic arena.
.
In addition to the three advantages of determination, experience and Sir Alex Ferguson, the return of captain Vidic has increased the safety factor of the defense. The addition of Shinji Kagawa can reduce some reliance on the two veterans Giggs and Scholes.
The front line with Robin van Persie, Li Yu, Welbeck and Xiao Wandou is extremely strong. Among the midfielders, Fletcher's condition is gradually improving, Crivelli is slowly growing up, and Carrick is also very stable. There is no obvious weakness in the team.
At this stage, in the process of competing for the Premier League title, I personally feel that the Red Devils are still the biggest favorites.
Manchester City almost became the champion of England's top league after 44 years. The process was thrilling but they still failed to have the last laugh.
Coach Mancini's prestige has been further established, and he is not at a disadvantage in the psychological battle with fellow Italian Ancelotti.
They defeated Arsenal respectively before the season, and Chelsea won the Temple Cup and the Community Shield, once again demonstrating the maturity and stability of the team. Considering the Carlos Tevez incident and Balotelli's several suspensions last season, the offensive aspect is as follows:
Not surprisingly, they still have room for improvement.
Mancini is very annoyed with the club's "silence" in the summer transfer market, and so far has only introduced Rodwell to "replenish his waist."
Judging from the formation of the warm-up match, they want to try a three-center-back formation in the new season, which requires a lot of personal ability of the center backs, tacit understanding of cooperation, and the back-up awareness of the midfielder.
Savic has been proven to be unable to handle important tasks many times, and Kolo Torre is not in the coach's plan. Manchester City needs a versatile player like De Rossi. The stability of the defense and the physical condition of the absolute core Yaya Torre will largely depend on it.
Determining the team's defending prospects, can the home court maintain its magical record of 18 wins and 1 draw?
Can it still "double kill" its arch-rival Manchester United? Will it affect the status of the league once it enters the knockout rounds? It will be very difficult for "Blue Moon" to protect its country.
Last season, Chelsea was affected by the failure of Villas-Boas's innovation and dismissal midway. The league was widened by the Manchester duo by 25 points, ranking sixth.
They made the biggest signings in the summer, but attentive fans also discovered that Hazard, Marin and Oscar are all frontcourt attackers, while Mikel, Romeu and Essien in the defensive midfield position are still worrying.
How to adapt to the era without Drogba? With Lukaku on loan to West Brom, Torres is the only center forward in the team. They still lack a strong impact figure in tough battles. Is it Hulk? Or Llorente? Or
Someone else?
The Blues have added two tasks, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup, in the new season, especially the latter which requires a long trip to Japan. The factors mentioned above will weaken the Blues' competitiveness in the Premier League. In the new season, they will compete with Manchester City and Manchester United.
The points gap will definitely not be as big as last season, and it is even expected to form a tripartite momentum for a long time, but to regain the Premier League championship, I am afraid there are more variables.
Arsenal was still able to secure third place in the league last season despite losing Nasri and Fabregas, with captain Robin van Persie taking the greatest credit.
Can Giroud, Podolski and Cazorla, the three new international players, make up for the goals scored by "General Fan"? No one is sure.
The old problem of more injuries has been plaguing the team, especially the main midfielders and backfielders who are easily injured after the middle of the season. The Gunners failed to win any away games against the top five teams last season, and the solidity of the defense needs to be improved.
strengthen.
The number one goalkeeper Szczesny is the epitome of this. He often makes amazing saves, but is prone to errors in judgment at critical moments. He hopes to mature quickly after experiencing the nightmare of the European Championship.
Tottenham have replaced the senior coach Lao Lei who was not "loyal" enough. Young coach Villas-Boas has learned the lesson of being eager to innovate at Chelsea. Can Tottenham, who are accustomed to falling off the chain in the second half, stabilize? Vertonghen and Sigurd
Sendu is a valuable signing, and the two wings of Bale and Lennon are extremely threatening.
, but Adebayor has not yet signed with the club. Without a tall and strong center, their offensive power will be greatly reduced. "Desperate Saburo" Parker was injured for a month at the beginning of the season. It depends on Brazilian international Sander.
Can Luo and the injured Holdstone ensure the balance of offense and defense in the midfield?
Newcastle achieved its best ranking in the past eight years last season, thanks to the team's successful operation in the transfer market. "French-speaking" stars shined one after another, especially Dumbaba in the first half and Cisse in the second half.
.
Each team will closely monitor these attack points. For the "Magpie" who is not sharp enough in wing breakthroughs, when will Ben Alpha, who has high hopes, stabilize and serve the team more, which is the key to maintaining competitiveness.
.
A pair of sworn rivals in Merseyside City are vying for the fringes of the Group Four.
Everton has had a slow start to the season for three consecutive years. As usual, they do not have enough funds to recruit players. They lack scoring points in the midfield and frontcourt, making it difficult to make room for improvement.
Liverpool has changed four coaches in three years, and their tactics will undergo major changes this season. Rogers' "personal soldier" Joe Allen will be the mainstay of the midfield offensive organization. Gerrard's position gradually moves back, and Downing
, how can Henderson and Shaheen work? Is Suarez's best partner Borini or Carroll? How to improve the shooting rate? To shorten the 17-point gap with the fourth-place team last season, the Red Army has a long way to go.
Last season, the three newly promoted teams successfully avoided relegation. The best performers, Swansea and Norwich, had their original coaches poached.
They may be involved in a relegation battle this season. Wigan's miraculous "Victory Escape" will not have a "second season", and the problem of weak offensive power will continue to plague them. The three teams that have successfully reached the top spot have
Having gained experience in the Premier League, Reading and West Ham are more confident. Southampton, the "only seedling on the south coast" that focuses on offense but not defense, may have a more difficult time relegating.
In addition, Stoke City's ranking is slowly declining and its playing style lacks new ideas. The prospects for the new season are not optimistic. It is estimated that there will be five teams struggling to avoid relegation.
In addition to the stability of the individual stars, the competition for the top scorer also depends on the strength of the midfield support. Li Yu and Aguero are the most competitive. They have teammates who are good at delivering ammunition around and behind them, and their teams are also easy to compete with.
The lower reaches teams scored big scores in the match.
For Arsenal fans, this summer is a bit strange. They first experienced the ecstasy of buying three strong players in a row and the worry that Robin van Persie was about to leave the team. Then they experienced the disappointment and anger of Van Persie defecting to his arch-rival Manchester United. To make matters worse, in
Immediately after the first round of the Premier League today, Arsenal officially announced that it had sold Song to Barcelona. This was undoubtedly another heavy blow to many Arsenal fans.
After Podolski, Giroud and Cazorla spent 40 million pounds of real money, gun fans seemed to have the illusion of happiness, and then they found out that they had been "cheated".
Because the club immediately recovered the "cost" by selling Van Persie and Song. 24 million pounds for Van Persie and 15 million pounds for Song, plus the price of selling Bella (3 million pounds), Bartley (1 million pounds) and other players.
, Arsenal's transfer account instantly turned into a profit of 3 million pounds, and he became a member of the profitable club again.
It is true that these two players have actively asked to leave the team, and Arsenal may not be selling them just to recover costs. However, this series of transfer operations that first promoted and then suppressed has indeed been a kind of psychological endurance for the fans.
test.
Another fact is that after selling Song, Arsenal has become the only team among the top six in the Premier League to make a profit in the transfer market. While other strong teams are burning money to prepare for the new season, Arsenal actually
Maintaining profits at the start of the game is really confusing, and it even makes people doubt whether Arsenal is still a giant.
It is true that the foundation and fan base are there, and these are the things that a wealthy club should have, but if this continues, who can know what Arsenal's future will be like?
In the first game against Sunderland, after a typical scoreless game, Arsenal could only accept a 0-0 draw. Although they continued their 12-year unbeaten record against Sunderland at home, Arsenal could only accept a 0-0 draw.
They also had to face the situation of a draw in the first game of the Premier League for the third consecutive year. Indeed, the team was in turmoil again this summer. Although it was not like last year when signings were rushed at the end, running-in is still a problem.
Podolski, who started as center forward, performed poorly, as his compatriot Per Mertesacker said: "Although it seems that Bolti has integrated into Arsenal, it is still a bit difficult for him to integrate to the same extent as in Germany.
When he made a joke, except for the two German-speaking players, the other 20 players didn't laugh."
Although it was just a half-joking remark, it can also reflect that Bolti has not fully integrated into the team's game rhythm. Giroud, the French Ligue 1 golden boot, was put on the bench by the professor in this game.
It can be seen that his movement is quite imaginative. However, his wasted opportunity in the 82nd minute still became the target of criticism from many fans.
Last season, Van Persie contributed 30 goals and 9 assists in the Premier League, and his importance to the whole team is evident. If Arsenal fans want to forget about Van Persie on the court, these two powerful new players want to be like this
They said they hoped to help Arsenal win the championship when they joined, but they still have a lot to do.
In contrast, the performance of another new signing Cazorla was much more convincing. He and his compatriot Arteta sorted out Arsenal's midfield quite well today. Cazorla made 77 times in the game.
He made 72 successful passes, with a passing success rate of 93%, and sent 7 threatening balls, the most in the game.
Arteta, who played steadily and well last season, made an astonishing 119 passes in the game and succeeded 96 times. These most intuitive data show the strength of the two Spanish players at Arsenal, but
Arteta and Cazorla, the latter is only a regular substitute for the Spanish team, and the former has not even been selected for the national team once.
With "grassroots" players as the core, will Arsenal still be a giant? When will the trophyless streak end, I am afraid that will be the key to this issue. Who will it rely on?
The "Heroic Era" of Fabregas and Van Persie has become history. Unlike Fabregas's era when he was the sole leader, this time there are two Spaniards with a clear division of responsibilities.
Arteta is responsible for organizing and dispatching, while Cazorla is responsible for threading the needle in the frontcourt. This has to be reminiscent of the dual-core of the Spanish national team and Barcelona, and even the performance of the two after the game is similar to that of Xavi + I
Nesta's dual core lookalike.
It seems that in the new season, Arsenal must rely on the performance of the Spaniard. At the national team level, Spain has achieved three consecutive championships in the 2008 European Cup, the 2010 World Cup, and the 2012 European Cup. Cazorla is also the winner of consecutive European Cups.
Member. Wenger signed him, perhaps taking into account the long-lost championship temperament brought by the Spaniard to the Gunners.
However, this game also exposed enough problems for Arsenal. In terms of scoring goals, they can still choose to continue to trust the two new players. However, in terms of midfielder, Song's departure and Diaby's unstable performance have made Arsenal "
"Backache", Wenger also strongly hinted at the post-match press conference that he wants to buy someone. Everyone knows that if you want to end your lack of championships by selling your main force every year, then unless you sell someone, winning the championship can be considered an honor.
