Football’s First Defender

Chelsea actually won the championship "accidentally" last season. No one would have thought that Chelsea, who did not have much outstanding performance under Scolari in the first half of the season, would be able to "fight the fire" in the first half of the season. Under the coaching of Dink, he directly won the club's dream of the Champions League!

So for the team's goals for the new season, the primary goal is of course to continue to hit the Champions League and strive to become the first team to defend the Champions League after the reform!

Because Hiddink has already made it clear that he will not choose to stay at Chelsea, he will retire after only half a year in charge of Chelsea!

The Chelsea management, although as early as the second half of last season, was already looking for possible candidates for a new coach, but because Hiddink's leadership results are very good, although Hiddink has repeatedly emphasized that he only intends to coach He left in half a year, but Chelsea boss Abramovich still plans to see if Hiddink can change his mind after the Champions League final. For the other coaches, he is only in contact and did not go into details!

Chelsea finally won the Champions League. Abramovich also personally talked with Hiddink during the team’s holiday later, but Hiddink still rejected Chelsea’s handsome position and chose to leave, return to the Russian national team, and concentrate on leading Russian football to seek Breakthrough, Champions League new champion Chelsea, had to solve the problem of their own coach in the summer!

In the eyes of Abramovich, the Premier League champion, the team under his rule has won twice, and the second time it was successfully defended, just like a stand-alone game, but in terms of champions, Chelsea have won in recent years. Over and over again, in one season, the single Premier League champion has lost interest. In this era, it is naturally an achievement to emulate Manchester United to win three consecutive league titles, but it will take three years to start the new season!

The easiest achievement in the short time is to compete for the Champions League, become the first team to defend the Champions League after the reform of the Champions League, and engrave the name of Chelsea in the history of the Champions League forever! Even if it was as strong as Real Madrid and had 3 championships in 5 years, it did not become the first team to defend the Champions League after the restructuring!

In recent years, European giants have invested more and less, but the lean camel is bigger than Marathon. Although some giants lack absolute superstars on the team lineup, they still rely on the team’s excellent youth training. Most giants can still compete in the European arena, and in the knockout stage, no team can be confident that they can defeat all the powerful enemies, so Chelsea's plan to defend the Champions League is still a heavy task. Way far!

The uniform team of the team received instructions from the boss Abramovich. The requirement for the head coach is to be good at playing cup games, especially the Champions League. It is better to have the experience of leading the team to win the Champions League!

In recent years, the Champions League champion coaches are all famous coaches, and all are the top coaches of major giants. For the requirements of the big boss Abramovich, Chelsea's management can only try to find and dig!

Not to mention, at the time of the ups and downs of the summer transfer window, there really was a head coach who left the giants and gave Chelsea a chance to dig!

The Italian AC Milan club, as a century-old giant, has always been a powerhouse in Europe. Its 7-time Champions League championship experience is second only to Real Madrid and sits firmly in the second place in the history of the Champions League!

The last two Champions League champions of AC Milan are inseparable from the careful training of the Italian coach Ancelotti. Although he has had the shameful experience of Istanbul Night, he coached AC Milan for 8 years and made three Champions League finals. Winning the Champions League makes Ancelotti still the best coach in European football!

However, although Ancelotti’s previous contract with AC Milan will not end until 10 years, AC Milan’s finances are already on the verge of collapse. This can be seen from the summer transfer window and the sale of his core Kaka to pay off the debt. Spot it!

With the malaise of the Italian economy, the financial situation of the entire Serie A is not very good, only Moratti who is willing to pay out of his own pockets to subsidize the team, can continue to provide financial protection for Inter Milan!

And AC Milan, after the glory, has now entered the reconstruction period, which did not agree with Ancelotti’s coaching goals. Compared with Ancelotti’s annual salary and the contradiction with the management, AC Milan was in 08/ After the end of the 2009 season, he chose to peacefully terminate his contract with Ancelotti, and immediately took the post of Leonardo, the player of AC Milan's "dream team", to serve as the team's head coach!

And Ancelotti just spent a few days at home and immediately had a chance to contact Chelsea, who was seeking a new coach!

Although there are many teams that want to invite Ancelotti out of the mountain, Chelsea's wealthy background, team strength, and financial ability far exceed other competitors, Chelsea is in a natural advantage!

Finally, after some negotiations with the Chelsea uniform team, Ancelotti airborne Stamford Bridge with a salary of 20 million euros for three years, took over the pointer from Hiddink, and became the new head coach of the Blues Chelsea!

Ancelotti also understands the goal of team owner Abramovich. In the first year of leading the team, he will try to complete his predecessor’s Champions League feat and lead his team to defend the Champions League. This is indeed a big challenge, but Ancelotti is willing. Try, and the Chelsea team has a good foundation, which is very suitable for Ancelotti to review his tactical arrangement!

However, correspondingly, in order that Chelsea’s grand vision for next season can be achieved with a high probability, Ancelotti still wants to get enough support from the club to strengthen the team to ensure that the strength of the team can be further improved. , Especially the strength on the offensive end!

Since June, Ancelotti officially took over the coach of Chelsea, Chelsea's transfer department has worked hard to complete Ancelotti's signing goals!

Over the years, Chelsea’s wing players have been very scarce. Last season, Malouda was alone in supporting the position on the left side with few injuries, while the right side, in some games, simply Kalu and Anelka came to guest appearances!

Ancelotti also wants to make a fuss about Chelsea's lineup, especially when he needs a flashpoint from the side. Fortunately, in some strong games, he can open a breakthrough on the side!

And the top wing breakers are actually those few. Ancelotti aimed at Bayern Munich’s wing core, the Frenchman Ribery!

Ancelotti attaches great importance to Ribery's breakthrough ability on the wing and hopes to bring him to Stamford Bridge!

Although Abramovich’s funds are somewhat stretched, considering Ribery’s practicality and the possible commercial rewards that he might bring as a big-name star, Abramovich agreed to this signing and plans to provide a private pocket to subsidize the team!

However, it is very difficult to dig people among the giants. Chelsea offer Ribery to Bayern for 40 million euros, hoping that there will be room for negotiation. Even if Bayern rebates to 50 million, Abu said he can take money to support it!

But Bayern Munich only replied, "Forty million euros can only buy a thigh of Ribery", and has no intention of selling his star!

Ancelotti's favorite goal, there is no room for manipulation!

In addition to the fact that the introduction of Ribery was not very smooth, Deco, who was introduced to Chelsea as a direct player of Scolari last season, also applied to the club for a transfer to leave. He hopes to go to Inter Milan to reconnect with his former teacher Mu Rinho cooperates.

During Hiddink’s coaching period, for Deco, it was a difficult time for half a season. Except for playing in the later leagues that were not important, Deco basically had no playing time in important games. Compared to his unfamiliar Ancelotti, Deco still wants to find Mourinho he is familiar with at the end of his career to make better use of his remaining heat!

But as far as Ancelotti, who emphasizes midfield control in AC Milan, Chelsea’s midfield is hard enough, it happens to lack players of Deco's type. Although Deco may have passed his peak, But for the long season, Deco is still an important addition to Chelsea's midfield.

After a long telephone conversation with Deco, Ancelotti succeeded in persuading Deco to stay on the team and promised to give Deco more playing time to allow Deco to participate in the team's midfield rotation. , Complete the transformation of Chelsea's midfield formation!

While seeking Ribery’s transfer failed, Ancelotti turned his goal to his old club AC Milan. He wanted to bring midfielder Pirlo to Stamford Bridge!

For Pirlo, who is already 30 years old, under Ancelotti’s instruction, Chelsea offered a transfer fee of 12 million pounds, plus Peruvian striker Pizarro’s generous offer. According to local media reports in Milan, AC Milan’s management is very satisfied with the offer. They can get 12 million pounds in cash and an excellent scorer who scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga last season (in the 08/09 season, Chelsea loaned Pizarro to Leme), but when the deal was concluded immediately, the new AC Milan coach Leonardo strongly opposed the deal, saying that Pirlo was his indispensable player and forcibly rejected Chelsea's offer!

After missing two of his favorite players one after another, Ancelotti was a little confused about the new season's signings!

This is the status quo in European football. Sometimes, you have money in your hands, but you may not be able to convince another team to let go. And Chelsea's budget is not enough to provide a high enough annual salary so that players can force the team to release people through personal influence!

After Ancelotti had no special players he wanted, Chelsea started looking for some unknown players as a supplement to the bench according to Ancelotti's request!

First, at a low price of 1.5 million pounds, the Serbian midfielder Matic was bought from the Slovak team Kosice to enhance the team's alternate lineup!

After that, another £5 million transfer fee took away the young and famous Sturridge from Manchester City to enhance the youthful vitality of the Chelsea striker!

The goalkeeper Turnbull of Fort Mie, after the contract expires, chose to join Chelsea for free to enhance Chelsea's goalkeeper reserve!

For Chelsea, since there are no big-name players to join, Abramovich simply took advantage of the trend to reduce investment to ease his financial expenditure!

When he first signed the contract, the ambitious Ancelotti, after losing his hope of signing his favorite superstar player one after another, looked down on other players. After all, Chelsea’s own team heritage is there, ordinary players come. At Chelsea, it may not be possible to grab a chance to play, so saving money will save money!

However, for the wing position, Ancelotti still clearly needs a good combat power. Although Ancelotti plans to target Chelsea’s personnel and make a fuss in the midfield in the new season, Ancelotti still wants to introduce an outstanding player who can play this position in the game for the wide players. !

And Abramovich, although he wants to spend less, he also has a Russian complex. He wants to have a domestic player in his team play. After missing Arshavin last season, Abramovich paid for the summer window this season. Here comes Zhirkov of CSKA Moscow!

Although Ancelotti’s first goal is not Zhirkov, Zhirkov, known as Russian Ronaldinho, is indeed a good player, and Ancelotti’s addition of wide players is considered complete. , Of course, I will concentrate on preparing for the new season of the Premier League and the most important Champions League group stage!

Although Chelsea did not buy too many people, except for Pizarro, who was unaccustomed to the situation and was loaned out last season, he finally chose to transfer and leave. In the other seasons, Chelsea's main players and substitutes for winning the Champions League are all retained Although the age has increased by one year, many people are in their early 30s, but Ancelotti himself is good at training veterans, so the appropriately reinforced Chelsea is still favored by many people!

Regarding whether Chelsea can defend the Champions League, under the prying eyes of the European powers, especially against the background of the crazy signings of the two major La Liga teams, no one thinks that Chelsea will be able to break the siege.

But for the Premier League in the new season, countless professional footballers are more optimistic that Chelsea can end the Manchester United dynasty and win the Premier League championship in the new season!

The signings of the top three in the Premier League are too weak!

For Manchester United, the loss of frontcourt players is serious. Ronaldo switched to Real Madrid at a sky-high price of 94 million euros, making Manchester United lose its most threatening core player in the frontcourt!

Afterwards, striker Carlos Tevez was poached by the Premier League upstart, Manchester City, the younger brother of the same city, at a price of 25 million pounds!

Last season's striker line was extremely terrifying. The Manchester United striker line, which can play multiple lineup combinations, suddenly lacks two superstars, which can indeed be regarded as a painful one!

And Manchester United, holding huge sums of money, in the transfer market, it is difficult to have much to add when the strong are not letting go!

Valencia came from Wigan with a transfer fee of 17 million pounds. Although Valencia is also a good wing player, he wants him to replace Ronaldo and the role of Ronaldo on the court. Some strong people are difficult!

Although Irving, the superstar of the year, was transferred freely, but considering Irving's state, it may not be much supplementary to Manchester United's striker. Maybe it is better to transfer from the Norwegian super team Molde. Here comes the Senegalese striker Diouf!

Compared with Manchester United's huge losses on the offensive end, Wenger's Arsenal still continue to hunt for treasure on their own, and then sell the rhythm of repaying the loan!

Throughout the summer window, Wenger only spent 11 million pounds to buy Belgian central defender Vermaelen from Ajax, and the introduction of the rest of the players depends on loan recovery, as well as the promotion of his youth team!

In terms of players leaving the team, except for some non-reused players, Arsenal will be the main center defender Koroture and the main striker Adebayor, each for 15 million pounds and 25 million pounds, which are packaged and sold. Manchester City!

Arsenal, with Wenger's insights and talents for several consecutive years, once again realized the task of huge profits for a single summer window!

In the transfer market, Liverpool, who is very unsightly, continues its journey of digging high-stakes lottery tickets in Xia Chuang!

After being pryed away by Real Madrid’s absolute midfielder Xavi Alonso~www.readwn.com~ and right back Averoa, Liverpool rejected Barcelona’s offer for Mascherano and forced one to stay. Name the midfielder core. After that, Liverpool spent 20 million pounds to buy midfielder Aquilani from Rome, and 18.5 million to buy defender Johnson from Portsmouth!

The remaining few signings are small operations, not worth mentioning!

In addition to Chelsea, the top three in the Premier League have lost their main players in the transfer of Xia Chuang, and the signings are not good!

On the contrary, Manchester City, which has received oil capital injection, has been buying, buying and buying all summer!

24 million pounds bought the England international from Everton, defender Lescott! Buy center defender Koroture from Arsenal for £15 million!

Tevez and Adebayor, both from Manchester United and Arsenal for £25 million, plus striker Santa Cruz, who was transferred from Blackburn for £17 million, Manchester City are on the front line. It cost 67 million pounds to successfully complete the update of the forward line!

Aston Villa's midfielder Barry also came to Manchester City with a transfer fee of 12 million pounds to strengthen the strength of Manchester City's midfielder!

In contrast, as many as 10 players left through transfers and contract terminations. Manchester City began to transform from the Premier League lift team to a giant team...

Under the circumstances of this trade-off, in a short period of time when Manchester City needs to run in and cannot directly compete for the title, Chelsea’s signings have turned it into the strongest team on paper. In the new season of the Premier League, Chelsea is natural. Take advantage!

As for the Champions League, you need to see if luck can stand on Chelsea this time!
