Chapter 155 The Best of the Premier League Month

The end of the third round of the Premier League means the end of August, and the 3 summer transfer window is also over.

The Manchester City duo are undoubtedly the two most craziest teams in the transfer market.

Manchester City invested more than [-] million, and Manchester United also invested close to [-] million.

It has to be said that the high degree of promotion of the Premier League makes the Premier League teams generally have higher income, so the investment is also high.

In particular, the Premier League has just signed a huge broadcast contract, which has caused the entire league to burn money crazily.

Throughout the summer window, the cumulative net investment of the Premier League reached an exaggerated 8 million euros.

Among them, Manchester City has a net investment of 1.9 million, Manchester United has a net investment of 1.8 million, and Chelsea has a net investment of 1 million.

In other leagues, the Bundesliga has a net investment of more than 7000 million, Serie A has a net investment of more than 3000 million, and La Liga has a net investment of more than 2000 million.

Not to mention Ligue [-], as the youth training base of the four major leagues, most of the years there are making money, and this year is no exception.

Pogba, Zhang Chaoqiang, Higuain.

The three are the three most eye-catching big deals in the summer transfer period.

In addition to the three, other teams also have many important transfers.

Chelsea brought in Kante and David Luiz, Bayern brought in Hummels and Sanches, Manchester United brought in Mkhitaryan and Bailly, Arsenal brought in Xhaka and Mustafi, Liverpool brought in Mane, Shanghai SIPG brought in Hulk and so on.

In addition, in the free transfer market, Ibrahimovic joining Manchester United and Alves joining Juventus are also very concerned.

City also made a few deals in the closing days of the transfer window.

Bravo was introduced from Barcelona, ​​Gundogan was introduced from Dortmund, and Zinchenko was introduced from Ufa, the Russian Super League.

With Bravo, Joe Hart's place in the Manchester City team is completely gone.

So he was loaned to Serie A Turin to play.

In addition, Nasri was loaned to Seville, Mangala was loaned to Valencia, and Boni was loaned to Stoke City. This is Guardiola's team cleaning.

The only exception is that Zinchenko was loaned to PSV Eindhoven because he is young and needs to exercise.

After the end of August, the Premier League officially organized the best selection of the first month of the new season, the best of the month in August.

The shortlisted players are Manchester City striker Zhang Chaoqiang, Chelsea striker Eden Hazard, Manchester United full-back Antonio Valencia and Hull City centre-back Curtis Davies.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all started with three consecutive victories. Hull City started with two wins and one loss, including defeating the defending champion Leicester City in the opening game, and lost only a narrow loss to Manchester United.

So the four teams started off well, and each had a representative shortlisted.

The other three nominees are fine, but Zhang Chaoqiang's nomination has caused some controversy.

Because there were only three games in total in August, Zhang Chaoqiang only played two games, and he became the representative of Manchester City.

Many fans believe that Manchester City's Ned Bruyne, Sterling and others are more qualified to be shortlisted.

The reason for picking Zhang Chaoqiang is clearly that the Premier League officials are deliberately promoting artificial stars while pleasing Asian fans.

And when the final results were announced, Zhang Chaoqiang was really elected.

Now there are more people talking about it.

"Although Zhang has only participated in two Premier League games, he has scored four goals in total, temporarily ranking first in the Premier League scorer list, and was elected as the best player in both games."

Premier League officials also gave comments when announcing the results of the awards.

In the scorer list after three rounds of the Premier League, Zhang Chaoqiang ranked first with 4 goals, and Ibrahimovic ranked second with 3 goals.

Due to the small number of games, this temporary first place does not have much practical significance.

But this made the Chinese fans very happy.

"Brother Qiangzi is too good."

"It only took two games to be the top scorer, and the Premier League is no more than that."

"Don't forget, Manchester City is still at the top of the Premier League standings."

"The British guys are obviously biased. Brother Qiangzi deserves the best of the month."

"Those who waited to see Brother Qiangzi become a parallel importer will be disappointed. The Premier League still cannot stop Brother Qiangzi from moving forward."

"Brother Qiangzi has already tied Sun Xingmin's goals scored in a whole season in two games. Let's see what else they have to say."

In any case, Zhang Chaoqiang was still successfully elected as the Premier League player of the month, becoming the first Asian player to win this award.

When receiving the best of the month trophy, Zhang Chaoqiang also expressed his opinion: "It feels great to get this trophy. I won the best of the month when I just joined the Premier League. This is a very great encouragement for me."

"August was a fantastic month, but we need to keep going and try to get better in September..."

In the first game in September, Manchester City will usher in a key battle-the Manchester derby.

The most famous derby in the Premier League is of course the Double Red Club, the contest between Manchester United and Liverpool.

But this summer, both the Manchester City duo are burning money, so everyone has high expectations for the Manchester Derby.

From the perspective of players, Zhang Chaoqiang and Pogba, two billionaire players, are competing on the same field, which is full of topics in itself.

What's more, Ibrahimovic is also at Manchester United. Last season, he and Zhang Chaoqiang competed with each other in Ligue [-], and now they have switched to the Premier League to compete.

In terms of coaching, Guardiola and Mourinho have always been enemies, and Guam Xiangwang will come again, which is also highly anticipated.

The derby hasn't really come yet, and the English media is already full of fighting spirit.

Mourinho took the lead in expressing in front of the media that the Derby is inevitable.

"I know what the Manchester derby means to Manchester United, the derby is a game you have to win if you want to be successful at Manchester United."

Although Van Gaal did not help Manchester United win the top four in the Premier League last season, he at least double-killed Liverpool and remained unbeaten in the Manchester derby with one win and one draw.

Mourinho certainly didn't want to lose to Chef Fan.

"We are like a big family now, we are united and enjoy playing for a club like Manchester United." But Mourinho always feels a bit weird when he evaluates the atmosphere in the team.

However, Guardiola's response seemed a bit soft.

"I love winning but I don't hate losing because that's part of professional football."

"The next game is just an ordinary game, not an important final."

The English media interpreted this as Guardiola was preparing for the loss.

At the same time, Zhang Chaoqiang was also affected.

In the last round of Manchester City's victory over West Ham United, Aguero had a little conflict with his opponent at the last moment.

The on-duty referee did not punish Aguero, but the FA confirmed through replays afterwards that Aguero had deliberately committed an elbow foul, so Aguero was fined and suspended for three games.

So in the next Manchester Derby, Aguero will not be able to play.

Zhang Chaoqiang played very well after joining the Premier League, but the best event of the Premier League month brought him some disputes.

Some English media speculated that Zhang Chaoqiang's rapid success after joining Manchester City was due to Aguero's sacrifice.

Aguero has made corresponding concessions on the team's tactical status and penalty kick rights.

Aguero has played in the Premier League for many years and has performed quite well overall, so he also has a large number of supporters.

Now that Aguero will be absent from the Manchester Derby, Zhang Chaoqiang is naturally needed to lead the team.

The English tabloid claimed that Guardiola admitted that he knew that Zhang Chaoqiang would be unreliable after Aguero was absent.

"If the Chinese can lead the team to beat Manchester United in the absence of Kun, it will be a real test of his strength..."

The back of Aguero's jersey has always been printed with Kun·Agüero, so people who are familiar with him call him Kun, and Chinese fans call him Akun.
