Chapter 446 Newcomer, New Coach, New Changes

Whether Arsenal fans like it or not, Nasri eventually left.After Nasri left, Arsenal head coach Arsene Arsene Wenger was the one who felt the most pressure. The team's 6-year championship weighed on his heart like a mountain.But why did Wenger finally agree to the deal?Yesterday, Wenger made an explanation through Arsenal's official website.

Wenger bluntly said that psychological and financial reasons were the main reasons for him to let Nasri leave: "The rules of the football world are like this. A player may be worth a lot of money today, but it may become worthless six months later. We were forced to make such a decision (letting Nasri go), mainly because of psychological and financial reasons." Although Wenger bears the name of a professor, he admits that he is a realist: "I am a Realist, so I have no illusions. (Transfers) are an integral part of a modern footballer. It is not a coincidence that so many players have landed in Manchester City."

Wenger revealed that Nasri did not refuse to play in the Champions League match against Udinese: "Nasri participated in training on Tuesday morning, but I knew before the training (to sell him), but he didn't know , he still came to the training. I never doubted Nasri's loyalty and his professionalism. If I really told him that you need to participate in this game, I think he will work as hard as he did last Saturday. But I can't ask him that."

Wenger concluded: "Just like we don't want to lose Cesc Fabregas, reality forces us to accept it. We want to extend Nasri's contract, we don't want to lose him. But if a player doesn't have much time in the team , what promise can you make? That's the question you have to answer."

Wenger, who is in Italy, is determined to strengthen his lineup, but the most important thing right now is to ensure the promotion of the Champions League. Wenger said: "Now we have to think about tomorrow's promotion. We can only rely on the current players. I think they are enough. Excellent." Wenger doesn't think his team is doing well in the transfer market, and he admits that the midfield must be strengthened: "We worked very hard in the transfer market, we bought Oxlade-Chamberlain and you can see him. Is a very great player, Gervinho too, but we want more good players, we are short in midfield and that is where we want to strengthen."

Wenger believes that Nasri's departure will not have an impact on other players: "People have always had this kind of worry, but this is not an excuse. You have to know that this situation may also have a positive impact on the team. If When you're strong enough, it adds to the cohesion of the team and you know you have to work harder, and that's what you want to learn from strong players."

Although Wenger said that his players would not be affected by Nasri's departure, Arsenal's grumpy midfield star Frimpong bluntly said that Nasri was too greedy, and he moved to Manchester City entirely for the 175 A weekly salary of ten thousand pounds.

The 19-year-old Frimpong said in his tweet: "Money is the root of all evil." Wilshere, who is recovering from his injuries, said goodbye to Nasri through a tweet: "I wish my good buddy Nasri good luck! Learned a lot from him, he was a world-class player and we will miss him!" After Wilshere sent the message, Frimpong replied: "Forget it, Jack." It seems that the Arsenal player They are all dissatisfied with Nasri's departure.

Meanwhile, Tottenham finally got their wish when they agreed a deal with Manchester City last night to sign Togolese center Adebayor on loan for a season. [

According to the "Sun", "Daily Mirror" and other British media, Adebayor will participate in the physical examination of Tottenham today. Before that, Tottenham coach Redknapp has been committed to the introduction of Adebayor. , and now finally succeeded.

According to reports, Tottenham will pay a large part of Adeba's weekly salary of about 17, which will reduce Manchester City's wage burden.In Manchester City, the forward line is already overcrowded, and the Togolese have long been the target that Mancini wants to clean.

However, according to the agreement, Adebayor will not be able to play for his home team when Manchester City face Tottenham on Sunday.At the same time, Tottenham's Crouch may leave the team in the near future, and Fulham and Queen's Park are both interested in him.

This transfer is very cost-effective for Tottenham. It not only gained a powerful center forward, but also hit the deadly enemy Arsenal in North London.Lao Lei had previously said that Adebayor would definitely be welcomed to Tottenham because Arsenal fans hate him.

"Arsenal fans hate him, so Tottenham fans will love him. He makes the Gunners unhappy, so he can be a hero here." , During the celebration, he rushed to the half of the stadium and rushed to provoke the Gunners fans. At that time, Lao Lei was the only one who defended his behavior. He said that he understood the behavior of the Togolese. The burst response is reasonable.

However, although Tottenham got Adebayor, according to the Premier League regulations, Togo's striker cannot play for Tottenham in the second round of the league between Tottenham and Manchester United!

Manchester United will host Tottenham Hotspur in the second round of the Premier League at Old Trafford.Facing Tottenham, which has just achieved a 5-0 away victory in the Europa League, the Red Devils fans are most worried about whether goalkeeper David De Gea will make another mistake like the previous two games.

But the Red Devils coach Carlo Ancelotti is still full of confidence in the Spanish teenager.

The Italian coach said in a pre-match interview with "Sky Sports" and other media: "There is no problem between me and him. We never mentioned the criticism of him by the media after the West Brom war."

Ancelotti defended De Gea: "Against West Brom, he had no problem handling the cross, he just wasn't protected. You saw that too, he got an elbow and the referee didn't call a free kick. It's going to be disappointing when you don't get protection, but Tottenham are at home so it shouldn't be a problem."

Ancelotti also compared De Gea to the two legendary Manchester United goalkeepers: "Van der Sar was also a tall and thin kid when he won the Champions League (with Ajax) in 1995, and now Don't forget, De Gea is only 20 years old. Schmeichel (1991) was also baptized by gunfire when he first entered the battle. When he went to Wimbledon to play, he screamed. Like a pig. He's not protected either, Vinnie Jones, Alan Cork, John Fashanu are hitting him. De Gea will be fine."

The defender Smalling, who will replace the injured Vidic and Ferdinand for Tottenham, also supported De Gea on Manchester United's official website: "He trained very well. We played a few confrontations and the teammates saw his agility. And skill. He's shown what he can do in training and it just takes a little time for the world to see."

However, Tottenham's ace star Bale regards De Gea as the weakness of the Red Devils.In an interview with the "Mirror", the 22-year-old Tottenham Devil Wing said: "If a goalkeeper is going through a bad period, you should try to test him as much as possible. We are going to Old Trafford to test it. Manchester United." Bale added: "Obviously De Gea was nervous about joining Manchester United, but he has proved himself to be a world-class goalkeeper with Atletico Madrid and Spain's national youth team."

Manchester United has maintained an unbeaten 24 games against Tottenham in all competitions (20 Premier League games, 2 FA Cup games, 2 League Cup games).

The last time Tottenham beat Manchester United was in May 2001; the last time they beat Manchester United away was in 5. At that time, De Gea, Phil Jones, Fabio and others were not even born!Although Manchester United has just undergone a change of goalkeeper positions, and both main central defenders will be absent due to injuries; but Tottenham are not fully staffed, and their biggest worry is that the core Modric has fallen into a transfer whirlpool.Tottenham coach Redknapp has admitted that Modric will not participate in the game with Manchester United. [

When Hernandez's name appeared in the squad for Manchester United's home game against Tottenham, I am afraid that all fans will believe that it will not be too long before Xiaopea returns to Manchester United's starting lineup.However, Welbeck, a young player born in the 90s, who has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Anshuai since the beginning of the new season, does not seem to think so with Li Yu as the main striker of Manchester United. Speed ​​growth, after a short period of adaptation, Welbeck finally showed people his superhuman football talent in the key battle against Tottenham. His one pass and one shot helped the Manchester United youth easily win the home victory.

In the first half of the game, due to the relatively restrained formation of the Manchester United team, they did not form too many decent offensives, but even so, Welbeck almost succeeded in receiving a cross from Mata in just 20 seconds of the opening.

In the 7th minute of the game, Welbeck sent a wonderful pass to Cleverley in the counterattack. The latter's arc shot in front of the penalty area went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, forcing Friedel to make a difficult save.

After a small test in the first half, Welbeck fully exploded in the second half thanks to the team's oppressive style of play.

In the 58th minute, Welbeck received a 45-degree cross from Phil Jones. After the opponent's defender snatched the header close to him, Ashley Young volleyed directly at the goalkeeper, but the ball flew away.In the 61st minute, Cleverley made a curve ball pass at the first time after receiving a knockback from Smalling. Welbeck suddenly rushed forward while cruising in the middle, and shook his head before Kabul, and the ball went straight to the goal In the back corner, Friedel, who performed well in the audience, could do nothing about such a tricky shot.

Since then, the balance of the game has been completely overturned. The original stalemate has become Manchester United's absolute control of the game, and Welbeck, who has become more confident, has also begun to show his football talent more freely.

In the 68th minute, Welbeck received a ferry from Smalling in front of the small penalty area and shot with a golden hook with his back upside down, but Friedel was in an excellent position and confiscated the ball.

Subsequently, Nani received Li Yu's through ball from a small angle and was blocked by Friedel. Welbeck followed up with lightning like a ghost and made a supplementary shot, which was barely intercepted by the defending defender.

In the 71st minute, Welbeck also showed his dribbling skills. He counterattacked with the ball on the left side of the backcourt, challenged the ball against the defensive player who was attacking, and used his speed to overtake from the other side, completing a commanding The amazing man scored the ball, and then went all the way to the bottom line before being destroyed by the defensive player.

In the 76th minute, Mata and Welbeck collided into the wall. Welbeck leaned on the opponent's defender and tapped his heel lightly. The ball just landed in front of Anderson who followed up. Smashed the door lightly. One minute later, Welbeck had a chance to provide an assist for his teammates again, but unfortunately his delivery was good enough, but Nani's waving ball was too strong, and the ball was confiscated by Friedel who was attacking.

In the 80th minute, Anshuai waved the flag and replaced the chief hero Welbeck with the newly injured Hernandez. The 75498 spectators stood up and applauded Welbeck. The applause lasted for 10 seconds. , It didn't gradually subside until Welbeck put on his coat and high-fived his coaches and teammates.

Welbeck seems to have become the new darling of Old Trafford, and has even threatened Hernandez's unbreakable starting position.

Compared with Hernandez, Welbeck's ability to grab points is much inferior, but this black player known as "Little Kanu" has comprehensive skills that are difficult for Xiaopea to match.

Welbeck's running ability is very outstanding, and at the same time he is able to play the attributes of the center and the side, so that he can often use a large area of ​​​​running in the midfield to create murderous intentions, and he also has the ability to grow into players like Eto'o and Tevey. The potential of a top defensive forward like Adams. According to the post-match statistics of opt, Welbeck’s three shots in this campaign all hit the goal range, and the success rate of 23 passes was as high as 913%, which was the highest among the starting players in the game. In addition, he also sent three threatening shots and made a tackle , Two foul interceptions, it can be said that he has fully demonstrated his comprehensive skills on both offense and defense.

"Sky Sports" did not hesitate to score a game-high 8 points for Welbeck after the game, and became the best player of the game together with Phil Jones and Friedel.

Ancelotti also praised Welbeck after the game. He said: "The reason why he dared to use young people is because they are so good that I had to use them. Welbeck played more in the first half. Midfield activity, which limited his performance, at halftime, we made some adjustments and put him back in the center position, because we need to put more pressure on the opponent in the frontcourt, and Welbeck is the top. That spot at the very front."

However, Welbeck's excellent state also made Anshuai feel a little headache.Manchester United's official website once pointed out that the team currently has seven forwards including Li Yu, Hernandez, Welbeck, Owen, Diouf and Macheda, and Ancelotti has plenty of options for formation. , but also facing the troubles of happiness.

Ancelotti himself admitted: "Look at Li Yu, Hernandez, and Irving. They are all different types of forwards. I need to give full play to their characteristics according to the specific circumstances of the game. I am very impressed with the combination of Li Yu and Welbeck Full of expectations, their performance is very good at present, but Hernandez has come back, he scored many goals for the team last season, Li Yu's role can be replaced, all I have to do is choose a good one for him partner."

Welbeck was also a little surprised that he could become a key piece on the team's front line so quickly.

In an interview with Manchester United's official website, Welbeck couldn't hide his inner excitement: "When I was playing at Sunderland, my goal was to be in the team's main lineup, so as to get more opportunities to play, that's the only way. In order to gradually develop self-confidence and the ability to respond to changes in the game. So I am very happy to be able to play the game so soon after returning to Manchester United. I don’t like the feeling of sitting on the bench, so I will work hard to improve my strength and strive to become Part of the team rotation."

Now, Welbeck has partnered with Li Yu, the Premier League Golden Boot last season. At the same time, this 20-year-old talented striker who is rapidly becoming popular also makes the 23-year-old Hernandez feel daunting.

Former Manchester United youth training coach Eric Harrison, who helped Ferguson cultivate the golden generation of 92, also lamented: "Welbeck has become even better after his experience in Sunderland. He has become faster and holds the ball. He is more capable, and he reminds me of the players of the 92 golden generation." Indeed, apart from Welbeck, for two consecutive seasons, Manchester United's young talents have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The rise of young players such as Marin, Fabio, Raphael, Cleverly, Phil Jones, etc. has made Manchester United, which has not seen a large number of talents emerging at the same time for many years, hope to usher in another golden generation.

Li Yu did not score a goal in the second round of the league. The media believed that this was deliberately done by the new coach Ancelotti to make Manchester United's No. 9 retreat more, sort out the offense, and hand over more opportunities. As for the center forward, Manchester United's No. 9 has a tendency to be cultivated like a No. 10.

At the beginning of last season, Ferguson tried to get Li Yu to try this style of play, but later because of Rooney's injury and sluggish state, Li Yu had to take on more of the burden of scoring goals. Ancelotti also played this season. After discovering the potential in Li Yu, whether it can inspire success or not, it needs to be further observed as the season progresses.

In any case, the two famous marshals have recognized Li Yu's ability, so it may only be a matter of time!

After Rooney left, Mata arrived. If the new Manchester United No. 10 can form an effective interaction with Li Yu, then Manchester United's offense will be more varied. Diversification has always been the tactics emphasized by Ancelotti. It's hard to see that An Shuai has injected his personal coaching ideas into the Red Devils Manchester United bit by bit. The tradition of emphasizing the wing in the past is bound to change.
