Chapter 444: A Good Start

The warm-up match swept the former European champion Inter Milan 3-0, which undoubtedly injected a boost to the Manchester City Legion, which is about to go to the Champions League in the new season.Although Mr. Aguero of 3800 million is still watching from the sidelines, under the organization and connection of Silva, the Blue Moon Legion still showed a strong attack power.

However, Silva, who was born as a winger, is not a handsome talent in the middle of the midfield after all. Manchester City still lacks the last piece of the puzzle in the hundreds of millions of strong formations, and this person may be the French midfielder who has been followed by the head coach Mancini for a long time. Nasri.The news from today's "Sun" revealed that Manchester City has made an "ultimate offer" to Arsenal for the transfer of Nasri. The amount of the transfer fee has reached 2200 million pounds. It is predicted that Nasri's transfer is likely to be announced within the next 48 hours.

According to an internal official of the Manchester City Club, the offer of 2200 million pounds is the final bid of the Blue Moon Corps. If Arsenal chooses to refuse, then the Manchester City people will not raise the offer. They will choose to wait for a year, next year The French midfielder was acquired for free in the summer.However, according to inside sources of The Sun, Wenger and his think tank are likely to accept this generous offer from Manchester City this time in order to complete Nasri's transfer as soon as possible. "The Sun" also revealed that although Nasri's transfer is expected to be completed within this week, the French midfielder will basically not play in Manchester City's Community Shield match against Manchester United this weekend.

With the help of Nasri, Blue Moon's lineup can basically be said to be "nearly perfect". The team's general Yaya Toure issued a warning to Ferguson and his Manchester United. "It would be fantastic to score three goals at Wembley (against Manchester United) if possible. Of course, the most important thing is not whether I score or who scores, but to announce to the world that Manchester City has returned. You have to prove your quality in front of Manchester United.” Toure continued: “This season will be more difficult in the league, but we are not what we used to be, I think this season belongs to Manchester City. We will prove to the world that we can win the championship. I think City will become as strong as Barcelona. As for Aguero, he is a fantastic player, smart, smart and fast."

Of course, in addition to stepping up acquisitions, the cleaning work within the Manchester City team is also in full swing. Coach Mancini said that Adebayor, Santa Cruz and Bellamy may all leave the team. "Adebayor wants to go to Real Madrid, but he can leave at any time if they want. We already have 4 top strikers with different characteristics. Adebayor hopes to play. Of course I personally support it He went to Real Madrid." However, the Togo striker's desire to join Real Madrid may be just wishful thinking, and Mourinho, the leader of the Galacticos, said that the club has no plans to acquire Adebayor.

As for Wright Jr. who broke out in the recent warm-up match, he has been coveted by the Bolton Club. According to the "Daily Mail", Bolton coach Owen Kohler hopes that Wright Jr. will replace Li Qinglong who was seriously injured and broke his leg.

City rivals Manchester City has another strong support, but Manchester United has entered the stage of remembering the stars.

The farewell match of legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar will be held at the Amsterdam Arena. Van der Sar revealed some details of the farewell match to Manchester United's official website.

The testimonial match is divided into three parts, the first is Ajax U13 against Manchester United U13, Van der Sar's son Joe is preparing to represent the Red Devils U13 in the competition; then the Ajax team that won the Champions League in 1995 played against the 1998 World Cup in France The Netherlands, including Davies, Overmars, Stam and Hasselbaink, will play; the grand finale will be Ajax against Edwin van der Sar's dream team, which is managed by Ferguson The Jazz, of course, will also be assisted by his Dutch assistant coach Meulensteen. [

This time, Ferguson led Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Carrick, Giggs and Li Yu five active Red Devils, just retired old Manchester United captain Gary Neville and former Manchester United striker Saha to help out.After the game, Van der Sar will say goodbye to 52000 fans.

In an interview with Manchester United's official website, Van der Sar said, "Hopefully it will be a good night. For the fans, it will be a good opportunity to see a lot of top players, and there are many active players. Promising Ajax player. It's been 12 years since I left Ajax, so I'm really looking forward to going back and seeing my old friends. Thank you for their support and giving me a farewell game like this, This is the perfect way to say goodbye. I am very happy that Coach Ferguson, Meulensteen and Manchester United players came to this game. I would like to thank the Manchester United fans and the Manchester United coaching staff for their support over the past six years. Hope It won't be long before I see you again."

Three days later, on August 3th, Manchester United star Scholes' farewell match was held at Old Trafford.Manchester United beat the New York Cosmos 8-6. Scholes took the lead with a strong shot, then declined the penalty opportunity and Li Yu hit it.Nani and Welbeck each scored a goal, Diouf scored twice.Scholes' 6-year professional career has officially come to an end.

斯科尔斯1991年7月加入曼联青年队,93年1月正式转签职业球员。1994年9月首次代表曼联出征联赛,对阵伊普斯维奇梅开二度,但曼联仍2比3落败。斯科尔斯为曼联出场676场,历史上排行第四;打入150球,在俱乐部排行第九。2011年5月28日欧冠决赛,斯科尔斯第77分钟替补出场,这是他在曼联的最后一场正式比赛。斯科尔斯也为英格兰国家队效力66场打入14球。

During Scholes' 19-year career, he won 10 Premier League titles, 3 FA Cup titles, 2 League Cup titles and 6 Community Shield titles with Manchester United. 4 times European champion. Won the Toyota Cup in 1999 and the Club World Cup in 2008.

Players from the two teams lined up before the game to welcome Scholes and his children into the field, and the fans applauded warmly.Cantona, in a suit and leather shoes, entered the field as the coach of the New York Cosmos.Former Manchester United coaches Ferguson and eo David Gill presented him with honorary plates and certificates, and Pele and former Old Trafford king Cantona also presented him with signed jerseys.Scholes wears the captain's armband to play.And every time Scholes takes the ball to pass and steals, the fans on the sidelines are applauded.

6-0, Manchester United will complete the victory in this summer's warm-up match, boosting the team's confidence before Sunday night's Community Shield.

The battle is imminent, Ancelotti said, Carrick and Pea will miss the Community Shield against Manchester City. "Carrick had a tight heel after Edwin van der Sar's farewell game and we're not going to take any chances. Hernandez is still out for two to three weeks and should be back at the end of August. With the concussion, we have to be careful. The good news is that Fletcher and Valencia are back and training."

In this campaign, Ancelotti sent 22 players to play. Except for Scholes who played 74 minutes, Li Yu, Nani and Ashley Young who played 62 minutes, the other 18 players played at most. With a half-court goal, physical strength will not affect the Community Shield against Manchester City on Sunday night.This is the second Manchester derby in the history of the Community Shield. The last time was in October 2, when Manchester United won.

Ancelotti deliberately downplayed the Community Shield before the game, "Playing this type of game is easy to be full of passion. I don't think we will change the principle. I have always regarded the Community Shield as a stepping stone for the first game of the new season. Then two or three players need a game to further improve their fitness."

The starting list of Manchester United in the Community Shield should not change much from this campaign. There is no suspense about the goalkeeper, two central defenders and the left back; at the right back position, Rafael has won consecutive starts recently. He may be closer to the starting lineup than Fabio in the Community Shield; In the position of winger, Nani and Ashley Young are in good form recently, and they should be the main players to deal with the problem; the position of central midfielder is too variable, because Carrick can't play, and Fletcher has just resumed training, so the state may not be reached. Best, under such circumstances, Ancelotti may send out a combination of Giggs and Cleverley; there is no suspense about the striker candidate, Li Yu will definitely start, and Hernandez still needs to rest.

So, who will be partnering with Li Yu?This really has to be noticed, now Manchester United only has Welbeck as a young player on the front line, will there be any surprises?

In fact, Manchester United has been secretly negotiating a transfer. Of course, the protagonist this time should be to lock the striker. After all, after losing Rooney, Manchester United's striker has become a bit thin, so they should introduce a striker anyway.

According to reliable sources, Manchester United has already started chasing Lukaku. In Ancelotti's mind, the Belgian new World of Warcraft is a good seed to upgrade Manchester United's striker.

The contenders are Chelsea and Arsenal again!Regardless of when the Premier League's top three can always appear together. [

The price offered by Manchester United is not as crazy as when they competed for Mata. Like Chelsea's bid, it depends more on the player's own wishes!

Although Dzeko's consecutive goals brought hope to Manchester City's offensive power in the new season, the Bosnian's long-range shot with a touch of luck could not conceal that Mancini was sitting on Tevez, Aguero, Zhe Coe, Balotelli, Adebayor, Bellamy, and Santa Cruz's seven power forwards with a total value of nearly 2 million pounds have been unable to create an effective striker for the team.

The issue of Tevez's future remains unresolved. Adebayor, Bellamy, and Santa Cruz, who returned on loan, are not favored by Mancini. Balotelli has been used by Mancini as an avant-garde in the last two games, and the one who can play a serious forward is currently Dzeko, who has justified himself by Mou Zujin.

According to the "Daily Mail", for Bellamy (8 pounds per week), Adebayor (17 pounds per week) and Santa Cruz (8 pounds per week), Manch Ni has made it clear that even if they cannot be loaned or traded, they will definitely not be included in the team squad for next season. Counting the recently depressed Balotelli (3 pounds a week) who switched to playing as an avant-garde, The total weekly wages of these 65 people reached about 4 pounds, Manchester City is equivalent to using 40 Rooney's salary to waste the team's salary.

In this game, Mancini once again resorted to Dzeko's single striker formation, but after all, the level of the game and the opponent are different from a week ago. The Manchester City midfielder, who was active in the last game, did not enter the rhythm of the game at all. Ke spent most of the first half time in non-stop running back and forth and getting the ball with his back.

In the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Milner passed the ball from the left. Dzeko took the ball in the middle and took a step. He volleyed vigorously with his right foot 1 meters from the goal before Vidic blocked it. The angle of the ball was not tricky. But there was a counterattack near the goal line. De Gea couldn't react in time and let the ball rush into the net from his hand.This shot was Dzeko's first shot in the first half, reflecting his gradual recovery of self-confidence and his current good competitive state. Goals reflect more the personal ability of the star than the effective organization of Manchester City's midfield.

In the second half, due to Manchester United's strong counterattack, Manchester City's overall offense was compressed, and the midfielder headed by Silva could no longer organize an effective offense. When Dzeko urgently needed a striker partner to disperse the pressure for him, Mancini did it. Instead, he replaced Balotelli with midfielder Barry, and finally replaced Adam Johnson. He didn't feel like spending more than 30 pounds a week to support Bellamy, Santa Cruz and Ah De Bayo is a waste.

In the second half of the game, Manchester United dispatched a defensive line consisting of Rafael, Evans, Phil Jones and Smalling. "Success" luxury attack combination, we can see the problems facing Manchester City's strikers today.

According to the "Daily Mail", Mancini's extravagance has even affected his relationship with the team's CEO Cook.

These three players cannot be rented or sold, and the high weekly salary is a major obstacle. Bellamy, who has a weekly salary of 3 pounds, made it clear, "My contract has one year left. If Manchester City considers paying me a year's salary in advance , then it will be much more convenient for me to choose to join other teams." Of course, the smarter Manchester City executives will not be so generous, and it is more realistic to give salary subsidies to loan teams. Looking at the meeting, the top management of Manchester City seems to be disgusted with the practice of all the teams trying to take advantage of themselves, and began to struggle with the issue of money.

Manchester City's third place in the Premier League last season was not due to a luxurious striker built with a lot of money, but a defense that spent a small amount of money to run-in. laughing stock.At present, Mancini's "high salary and leisure" approach is a bit extreme, but it is a necessary move for Manchester City to follow the example of Chelsea in previous years to get on the right track.On the self-made posters played by Manchester United fans in this game, the two sides of the Manchester United team logo are surrounded by trophies, but the Manchester City team logo is surrounded by "$", which is obviously a satire on Manchester City's waste of money.

For the current plan, the management of Manchester City can only suffer a little bit, and send away the three power forwards and Bridge (3 pounds a week) and other high-paying players as soon as possible, so as to create a normal competitive environment for the team and let the stars They exert the power of 10 plus 1 equals 1.

Today's Premier League is full of powerhouses, the Manchester duo is already gearing up for the Charity Shield, and Liverpool are also gaining momentum after their 2-0 victory over Valencia.

But in London, there are several joys and sorrows, "With all due respect, even if it is No.5 next season, it will be difficult for us to win." The wily Redknapp has already waved a white handkerchief; Wenger is still insisting, taking his six-year-old boy scouts, holding his little Fa and Nasri who have already been in Cao Ying's heart; leaving the young Boas, with his age A group of mercenaries, under the tremendous pressure of Abu Guan to leave...

Ancelotti has witnessed the turmoil in many countries, but nothing is more turbulent than in recent years. First, Chelsea's two-year maintenance, and then to take over Manchester United, which has changed its dynasty!

In July, they pulled the team to North America.This is a piece of land they are familiar with, with a relaxed training environment, exotic warm-up matches, plus a rematch with the Champions League enemy Barcelona, ​​everything is in order.Manchester United achieved a complete victory in the warm-up match. In fact, except for the small 7-2 victory over Barcelona, ​​Manchester United returned with a big victory in other games.

The fly in the ointment is that Hernandez, the top scorer of the America's Cup, just returned, fell into a concussion during training, and the recovery date cannot be expected now. Manchester United plans to let Xiaopea rest in August.

After Mancini's Manchester City has experienced three seasons of waiting patiently by the Abu Dhabi Group, this season must also produce better results than the FA Cup.

They also had three warm-up matches in North America this time, and they also achieved a complete victory, but their state was not good at that time, and Balotelli also made a farce of juggling.After returning to Europe, they chose the Irish Super Cup as their second warm-up match. The two 3-0 victories, especially against the mighty Inter Milan in the second game, showed that Manchester City is getting better and better. status.In short, although the two teams from Manchester did not travel around this summer, their preparations are the most targeted and relatively stable.

Go home feeling good!After traveling to China, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, and Norway, Liverpool finally won a long-lost victory when they returned home. This summer, they are the busiest club in the world. Did not allow them to achieve any impressive record in the warm-up match.

In the first six warm-up matches, they conceded three goals in each game. In the first three games, they even scored only one draw and two losses.As a result, defensive issues were put on the agenda.

But the Red Army was not really that vulnerable. Just three days later, they returned to Anfield and defeated Valencia, the most powerful opponent in the warm-up match, 2-0. The lost Liverpool finally lifted their spirits before the start of the season and waited for the new season.

For another strong team, running-in does not seem to be a problem, because so far, this team named Chelsea has only introduced three young players.The arrival of the three teenagers is difficult to make up for the heavy loss of Essien's absence for half a season and Zhirkov's departure.But although Abramovich is rumored to be interested in Aldrich, so far, this is still a tug of war that does not see the sun.Based on this alone, Chelsea's summer preparations fall far behind the top three in the Northwest.What's more, how can a team that has shown its old age last season deal with a more vigorous opponent this season?

Fortunately, the current team atmosphere is still very stable, and Chelsea also achieved a record of unbeaten victories in the summer warm-up. Even, they only conceded the first goal at the beginning of the last friendly match against Glasgow.
