Manchester City's transfer moves are moving fast and are over in July, but other teams are still in the works. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This summer has been quite a busy transfer season, with many of the stars who have since become famous have changed clubs this season, and transfer fee records have been broken frequently this season.

One of the most high-profile transfer deals in the Premier League is none other than Allan. Shearer moved to Newcastle from Blackburn Rovers for a Premier League record of 15 million pounds, although Shearer performed well in Blackburn last season, scored more than 30 goals, ranked behind Ding Red Star, and won the Premier League Silver Boot Award, but Blackburn's results were not satisfactory, and Newcastle were already very close to the league title, so they brought in Shearer, but also wanted to go further and win the league title.

In addition, Manchester United bought their later super substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, this deal is not eye-catching, but Ding Hongxing knows that this is a good player, he once played Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's idea, but Manchester City's forward line is already quite good, so he dismissed this idea, anyway, Manchester City wants to buy excellent strikers in the future.

One of the most high-profile deals in European football was Ronaldo's $20 million move from PSV Eindhoven to Barcelona.

Ding Hongxing's former teammate Davies at Ajax transferred to Serie A giants AC Milan, Kanu transferred to Inter Milan, and Finidi. George moved to Real Betis, Ajax's golden generation gradually fell apart, and it was the implementation of the Boseman Act that broke up the almost most powerful team of the twentieth century.

And Juventus bought French midfielder Zidane at a super low price, Italian center Vieri, and Croatian striker Boksic, which greatly strengthened their strength, but these transfer transactions did not cause much turmoil at the time, because Zidane and Vieri are far from having the same thunderous reputation as later, only Ding Hongxing knows how strong their strength is, and this season's Juventus has gone further because of their arrival. They also reached the Champions League final for the second consecutive season in their real history, but they lost to Borussia Dortmund and failed to defend their title.

The transfer drama in European football is in full swing, and the Premier League schedule has also been released, the first round of matches in the Premier League this season will be held on August 17 and August 18, and Manchester City's first league game is also very coincidental, just held on August 18, this day is Lu Chaohui's 20th birthday, and I don't know if Ding Hongxing used a goal in the first game as a birthday gift to Lu Chaohui last year, this season the FA has taken this gimmick into account when arranging the schedule, However, August 18 is also a Sunday, which is also a normal arrangement.

Although the league only starts on the 18th, on the 11th, Manchester City will play FA Cup winners Manchester United in the Charity Shield, which will be the first game of the season.

In order to prepare for the game, since the end of July, the Manchester City team has played a few warm-up games, and the opponents they are looking for are basically lower-league teams, this kind of game is just to restore the form of the players, the intensity is not large, and the role is to familiarize several new players with the team's tactics.

In these warm-up games, the whole team of 22 players have played, several players who participated in the European Championship are more tired, after all, they have not had a good rest this summer, need to slowly adjust their form in training and games at the beginning of the season, Mills showed more talent, and Zambrotta played in a left-back position that he is not very familiar with, and his performance was a little rusty, but he also showed his speed, good physical fitness, strong running ability, showing his potential to be a good full-back.

With the exception of a few players who played in the European Championships, the rest of the main players are in good shape, they are all very professional players, even during the holidays, they have not indulged themselves, they have always maintained a good physical condition, and in pre-season training, they quickly adjusted their form to the best.

Time passes quickly, August 11 is getting closer and closer, this Charity Shield is also getting hotter and hotter, in fact, in previous years, the Charity Shield is not particularly valued by any team, and often the team that wins the Charity Shield is difficult to win the league title this season, which is also one of the famous curses of the Premier League, so even if you lose this game, no team cares about it in particular.

However, this year's situation is a little different, this year's Charity Shield, against the two sides of the Manchester City Giants, which is equivalent to another Manchester derby, this kind of game, even if it is just an inconsequential Charity Shield, these two teams will not be willing to lose easily.

On August 11, at Wembley Stadium, the 96 Charity Shield match was held as scheduled, with around 40,000 fans from Manchester City and Manchester United each rushing to Wembley to support their teams.

Manchester City's starting lineup is goalkeeper Jaskelainen, central defenders Stam and Hyypia, full-backs Lizarazu and Lake, midfielders from left to right are Jinkladze, Ding Hongxing, Makellele, Seedorf, and forwards are Quinn and Larsson.

Manchester United's starting line-up compared to last season's usual starting line-up, only Keane's place was replaced by Bart, and although Keane's injury is largely healed, he will need some time to recover and he will not be able to play at the moment. Most of their starting line-up has been played in this summer's European Championships, so in terms of fitness, Manchester United are not as good as Manchester City.

After the start of the game, it was also shown from the field, although the Manchester United players played hard and were very strong in order to win, but they always looked a little less excited and couldn't run, on the other hand, Manchester City, the vast majority of their players on the field had a full holiday, and the pre-season training and warm-up were also carried out systematically, so their form looked quite good, and the running was much more active than the Manchester United players.

It can be said that the outcome of this game has been decided from the beginning.
