Chapter 478: Aftermath of Vampires

At the same time, in the 37th round of the league, Manchester City's Yaya Toure scored twice, helping Manchester City to get 3 points as they wished. Before Manchester United played the game, they rushed to the first place in the standings!

Even in the ensuing game, the goals of Scholes and Mata helped the Red Devils end their two rounds of invincibility, but the difference of 8 goals was like a natural moat between the Manchester brothers. Fortunately, Manchester United won 3 points, and also maintained a 2-point point advantage, which makes Manchester City's goal advantage meaningless at all!

In the battle that must be won, Manchester United did not show the courage and magic to challenge the limit. They did not even have the courage to leap to the opposite side of the sky. The last so-called fig leaf of the so-called championship background also made Manchester City completely get rid of the burden of goal difference. In the final round, the Blue Moon Army not only have to beat their opponents, but also have to expect Manchester United to draw or lose in order to take Manchester United from Pull down the king's throne.

Compared with the two games of the Manchester brothers in this round, Manchester United's style of play is obviously more stable, the passing routine is clear, and the players move reasonably. However, the passion of the Manchester City players and the star effect at critical moments make Ancelotti's team feel ashamed , And this is exactly where the gap between the two teams lies today.

Ancelotti's training, as well as the presence of veterans such as Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, etc., have enabled Manchester United to maintain a sophisticated tactical routine, but the individual player's ability and hunger for the championship are far less than City rivals.

After Manchester City defeated Newcastle, the goal difference between the two teams once reached 10 points. In the final round, Manchester City, with a terrifying 17 wins and 1 draw at home in the league, will sit at the Etihad Stadium to face Queen, who has the worst away record in the league. There is almost no suspense for the Park Rangers to take all three points. Under such circumstances, Manchester United's choice of a safe way to score points has become a matter of course. As long as they have three points, they can still ensure the league championship.

There has never been a season where the final crown of the Premier League has been as ups and downs as this level. According to the past rules, No.1 has established an advantage early, at least it does not need to be in the final round to make a conclusion.

The competition in the Premier League has become more and more fierce. Even if Manchester United won the final laurel, it is only a matter worthy of people's circumstances. From the perspective of the lineup, Manchester United has no such overlord's defeat, and its dominance is declining. It is only Manchester City and Chelsea. The rich local group can definitely hit the throne of the league.

What Manchester City lacks is the championship background, while what Chelsea lacks is stability.

Arsenal has been working hard for a place in the Champions League in recent years, but the professor's team can completely act as a spoiler to determine the final ownership of the championship.

Ancelotti said meaningfully in an interview: "Our financial resources cannot compete with Manchester City. They can buy all the players they want, which is beyond compare. We will definitely have actions this summer, and the signings may be 2 could be 3, but we will give priority to introducing young potential stocks to cultivate, this is our consistent transfer strategy."

However, such a transfer strategy must be tried and tested?The success of Rooney and Ronaldo by no means represents the universality of young players becoming talented. In recent years, have potential stocks such as Anderson, Obertin, and Bebe not bought by Manchester United?

But now the foundation of the team is still the group of old ministers before the Americans took over. Among them, only Rooney, a player who has played in his prime, has also chosen to be sold this season. Giggs, Scholes, Card Rick, Evra, and Ferdinand have all passed their peak period, and it is difficult to continue their top-level performance.

And young players like Phil Jones and Welbeck are worth looking forward to, but in this weak team, they were entrusted with important tasks prematurely, and their frizz and immaturity were exposed at a glance.

The new aid Mata may be a figure worth looking forward to, but Spain seems to have not found the rhythm of playing in the Premier League this season, but in many games, Mata still left a deep impression on people. A player with the potential to revitalize Manchester United's midfield.

Where's Li Yu?The absolute core, most of Manchester United's offenses are now dominated by him. Without the hard support of Manchester United's No. 9, Manchester United will not appear in the championship group this season. It will be staged with Manchester City in the final round. !

It's just that there is only one Li Yu after all. When Manchester United's overall strength is declining, it is a bit too rash to count on the performance of only one person.

The defensive midfielders are in urgent need of transformation. Whether they win the final championship or not, this is what Manchester United must do!

Manchester United's legendary midfielder Roy Keane mercilessly pointed out in a column in the "Sun": "Manchester United's young players are not doing well, and those old players should be criticized more."

Manchester United now lacks a leader who never gives up, who can inject steely will into the team and blood that suffocates the opponent.

Perhaps Phil Jones, the young man who is regarded by many as the future captain of the England team, can inherit the mantle of Cantona and Keane, but don't forget that he is only 20 years old, allowing him to support the world's largest club. Backbone is definitely the best interpretation of the term “to encourage growth of seedlings”.The culprit of all this is undoubtedly the team's vampire owner, the Glazer family.

Li Yu is domineering in the game, but he still lacks some leadership qualities, and there is another congenital deficiency, that is, he is not a player of a football power in the traditional sense, which also affects Li Yu's performance in the team to some extent Establish prestige in.

The fans also expect that Li Yu will take on more responsibilities in the game and show the corresponding dominance and leadership qualities. If Li Yu becomes the new leader of Manchester United, it may also mean that Manchester United has entered another era.

At the same time, looking at the role played by Yaya Toure, David Silva and Aguero in Manchester City, it is difficult to imagine that Ancelotti has nothing to do with this kind of explosive signing in his prime. Not excited.

But Ancelotti, who has repeatedly emphasized internal potential and rational buying, obviously does not have the generous backing of Mancini.

Ancelotti pointed out: "The team's summer transfer depends entirely on the overall plan."

Obviously, this plan refers to the budget.However, just looking at the rumored candidates for the central midfielder position has suddenly dropped from 3500 million-level Sneijder and 4000 million-level Modric to 700 million-level Shinji Kagawa, and you can get a glimpse of what Manchester United's transfer budget for next season will be up.

From this point of view, no matter how bad Manchester United's record is, it cannot awaken the conscience of the American boss. Killing is not enough, the Premier League was almost reversed by Manchester City is not enough. Seeing that a season with all four major players will be staged, the Glazer family only cares about how to expand the team's influence in Asia and how to earn more yen. It is even more desperate tragedy that the team lost all honors.

At the same time as the final round of the league was about to be staged, Ancelotti realized that the lineup must be strengthened.If we fail to have an accident in the last round, Manchester United is very likely to usher in the fifth season in 23 years. Ancelotti absolutely does not want to see Manchester City suppress Manchester United for a long time. Therefore, he intends to introduce strong support this summer. . "Daily Express" said that Ancelotti's transfer budget this summer is as high as 1 million pounds.

The 21-year-old Lille attacking midfielder Hazard, the 26-year-old Tottenham core Modric, the 27-year-old Athletic Bilbao center Llorente and the 23-year-old Valencia left-back Alba are all in Antony. Celotti's signings are in sight.

On the front line, Irving, whose contract with Manchester United expired this summer, is likely to leave the team automatically, and the young player Kiko is also very likely to be sold. Anderson, the winner of the European Golden Boy Award in 2008, also left the team early. Possible loan to Benfica.

Last summer, Ancelotti spent close to 6000 million pounds to sign Mata, Phil Jones and De Gea.

"Daily Star" said that Ancelotti has told Manchester United's top management that the lineup needs fresh blood, and Manchester United ceo David - Gill has promised to give the Italians a large transfer fee.

Ancelotti wants to find a successor to Ferdinand, 33, and the "Daily Star" said that the Italians may even offer 25-year-old Pique to return to Old Trafford. The 27-year-old Sneijder has always been a player that Manchester United is interested in. He failed to buy Sneijder last summer. He may offer to buy the Dutchman again this summer.

The 24-year-old Argentine midfielder Gaitan, the 23-year-old Borussia Dortmund Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa and the 22-year-old Iceland attacking midfielder Sigurdsson are also on Ancelotti's signing list. During the game, fans in the stands put up banners, hoping that Ancelotti could acquire Sigurdsson.

One can imagine the difficulty of poaching Pique from Barcelona. The Daily Mail said that French defender Mbiwa hinted that he wanted to play in the Premier League next season.

The 22-year-old Mbiwa is 1 meters tall. He is the captain of Montpellier, the leader of Ligue 84 this season.Mbiwa's contract with Montpellier expires next summer, therefore, only about £700 million can be taken away.Due to his refusal to renew his contract with the team, Montpellier intends to sell him this summer.Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle are all interested in Mbiwa.

In the signings of the midfield position, the "Daily Mail" said that Manchester United is considering signing Porto winger James Rodriguez who was fired to 2500 million pounds.The 20-year-old Rodriguez is 1 meters tall and is a Colombian international. He is known as "South American Ronaldo". He has already expressed that he cannot resist the temptation to switch to Manchester United.

Rodriguez has been impressive since joining Porto from Banfield two years ago.This season, Rodriguez played 22 games for Porto and scored 12 goals in the Portuguese Super League. In 2003, Manchester United purchased Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon for a transfer fee of 1250 million pounds, and finally sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 with a transfer fee of 8000 million pounds.

It is a fact that the price in the transfer market is inflated, and the strategy of focusing on young players is also in line with the healthy development of the team, but a championship team cannot lack stars, and Ancelotti also recognizes this: "If you want to get To be successful, you still need to chase high-value players in the transfer market.

Ronaldo scored more goals than he played in real madrid, we thought it would be a bad deal to sell him for £8000m, but if Real Madrid knew that Ronaldo was going to be this good, they would probably pay 1.6 million pounds.For Real Madrid, buying Ronaldo was a fantastic acquisition. Maybe we should have asked Real Madrid for 8 million pounds. "

Ancelotti's words revealed a trace of sadness and helplessness.

You must know that before the Glazer family acquired Manchester United, the former coach Sir Alex Ferguson had always been a man of the day in the transfer market. From Gary Pallister, Andy Cole to Veron and Ferdinand, all of them broke the Premier League at that time. The king of transfer records.

In addition, Ferguson has also had value-for-money deals like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo, but since he bought Ronaldo to Real Madrid for 2009 million pounds in 8000, Manchester United's ambitions in the transfer market have become more and more difficult. It is much smaller, and there is no signing of stars of the same level.

Ancelotti took over the team last summer. Although Manchester United also spent about 5000 million pounds to introduce Mata, De Gea, and Phil Jones. It is not irreplaceable like Ronaldo.

Please don't forget that there is a prerequisite for the transfer of these people, that is, Rooney's high transfer price. You must know that in 2007, Manchester United had 7 players selected for the best team of the season at the same time. It is an indisputable fact that the Red Devils lack top stars now.

The reason why Ferguson has changed from the boldness of spending a lot of money at the beginning to the frugality of small troubles now, and then to relying on transfer income during the Ancelotti period, is rooted in the stinginess of the Glazer family.

数据可以说明一切:格雷泽家族在2005年融资5亿2500万英镑收购曼联,从收购之日起到2011年12月31日,光是为了偿还格雷泽家族贷款所欠下的利息,曼联就掏出了4亿9750万英镑。

Before the arrival of the Glazer family, Manchester United did not have any debts, but now Manchester United still has 4.4 million pounds in arrears in their accounts. No wonder the team is shy about signings.In stark contrast, since taking over Manchester City in 2008 to May 2011, the Mansour consortium spent a total of about 5 million pounds, and promised to invest another 8 billion pounds in the future for signings and building a new training base.

One doesn't care about the cost for the club, and the other only cares about the club as a money-making machine.

As the final round of the league is about to begin, Manchester United is trying to use good news to inject vitality into the team.

On the other hand, Manchester City is just the opposite.

Manchester City coach Mancini said that he has [-]% confidence in his players and firmly believes that they will not miss the championship opportunity they have already grasped in their hands.

In the last round of the Premier League this Sunday, Manchester City only needs to beat Queens Park Rangers at home to secure the Premier League title. A month ago, Manchester City was eight points behind Manchester United.In this regard, Mancini said that they will not miss the hard-won opportunity.

"I trust my players [-] per cent, they know they have everything under control," Mancini said. This huge opportunity. In the last two games against Manchester United and Newcastle they have been very strong, with a great mentality and I think it will be the same on Sunday."

City last won England's top flight in 1968 and Mancini knows what a win would mean for Manchester's blue side. "I understand. We haven't won a league title for 44 years and in this city our neighbors win it almost every year and it's tough for our fans."

"I hope I can change that. The fans are happy and they want us to win another game. It's a big game for City because it's the first time in a long time and we want to do it for the fans. Take the championship."

Former Manchester United coach Ferguson once commented that Mancini has a typical Italian style, that is, defense is the first, while Manchester United is the first to attack.In response, Mancini said: "I agree with what he said. I am Italian and I cannot change my concept. He is Scottish and he is the best coach in the world. I agree with what he said."

In this game, Mancini will face Queens Park Rangers coach Mark Hughes, who was the former coach of Manchester City and was replaced by Mancini in 2009. Chini's coaching is "**" style.In this regard, Mancini said: "Hughes is a good coach. He knows the Premier League better than me. I agree with what he said."

"My relationship with Hughes is not important, we are not familiar with it, but Sunday is Manchester City v QPR, not me v Hughes. For me, Queens Park is a good team, they don't It's down there, they're going all out to stay out of relegation, so I think it's going to be a tough game, one team is fighting for the title and the other is fighting to avoid relegation, it's going to be hard for us, It's even harder than Newcastle, Manchester United. United's opponents, Sunderland, want nothing and I'm sure they will try, but they have nothing left."

Recently, Manchester City has won consecutive victories, catching up with the hope of winning the championship by 8 points behind Manchester United. Mancini said: "Being behind by 8 points is a good moment for us, because all the pressure is gone. Free to play. And even though we were eight points behind, we kept the faith. We knew that if we got three points before the Manchester derby, then we had a chance."

"The first six months of the season we played really well, the best football in the league, but it's impossible to play like that for a whole year, we had a problem one month and conceded goals very easily. And not scoring, but that's a normal fluctuation."

Manchester United fans claimed that Manchester City bought the title with money, while Mancini said: "All the teams that have won the Premier League have spent a lot of money. Obviously, if you have money to spend, you will win more. Opportunity, but it's not always easy. If you have money, you can choose players who can play for your team. Every time people talk about Manchester City, they talk about Manchester City. They can spend money, but if you buy good players , It is possible to play well, but it is not easy to win."

"I think Manchester City is one of the top teams in England and Europe right now and if Manchester City can win the title then maybe we can do the same in the next three or four years, but the most important thing right now is to get the first one. Champion, and then try to defend it."
