Chapter 16 Who Wins the Five Leagues?
This season, the Premier League is very hot, the six major clubs are competing for glory, Chelsea except for a few struggles at the beginning of the season to enter the regular, the whole season is as steady as a dog, and finally won the championship two rounds in advance, the other teams love and kill each other, the final ranking is: Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool...... Defending champions Leicester City struggled to relegate all the way, Hull City, Crystal Palace and Sunderland were unfortunately relegated, and Championship teams Brighton, Newcastle and Aston Villa were replaced. The top six to Li Haolong www.biquge.info the biggest feeling is the Red Army Liverpool that has been soaring all the way at the beginning of the season, everything is fast-paced Liverpool is good to play, but it is too hurtful, the Premier League has more games than other leagues, overload, the team has physical problems in the second half, and the depth of the bench is not enough, and the problem of recruiting players for the African Cup of Nations, it fell all the way to sixth, in the Premier League, unless you have 11 marathon players, you still have to allocate a good squad to ensure physical strength, so as not to over-squeeze.
Speaking of this African Cup, it is definitely a "wonderful" event in football, this high-sounding event has many incomprehensible points, one of which is that the game time is inexplicable, colliding with the five major leagues, January is the time when the major leagues are fierce, but this is mainly due to the climate in Africa, the temperature is hot from June to July, if the players are doing strenuous exercise on the field, it is likely to cause too much water shortage due to physical exertion, so the Africa Cup of Nations has to schedule the event in January. Then there is the fact that he is held very frequently, once every two years, so many European clubs with African national team players regard the Africa Cup of Nations as a flood beast, not only clubs, but also many players have refused to call up the Africa Cup of Nations.
La Liga, Real Madrid finally won the league championship five years later, 2 to 4 are Barcelona, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid is a bit sluggish this season, and the introduction of Nasri, Jovetic and other strong reinforcements Sevilla has a strong momentum, in fact, Sevilla is also an atypical strong team, the Europa League in the last three years have been dominated by them, and the Europa League is also nicknamed "Sevilla Cup" by fans.
There is still no suspense about the ownership of the Serie A and Bundesliga, which were won by Juventus and Bayern Munich respectively, the French championship is a little anxious, Nice with Balotelli once led, and Ba Shen is also miraculously revived in Ligue 1, but the Monaco team with the strongest firepower in Europe still has the last laugh, and Tiger Falcao is also reborn in Monaco.
This season's Champions League final was scheduled for the weekend of June 3 because there was no drag from the summer competition, and the previous European Championships were held in midweek, Platini took the stage and scheduled the time on the weekend, which was considered by fans to be his biggest contribution to his tenure, and the two sides of the game were Barcelona and Juventus standing at the top of Europe.
The Europa League final between Manchester United and Lyon in France continued the midweek format of the tournament on May 24 at the Friends Arena in Solna, Sweden, which is good news for the Villa team, who must have been physically exhausted after such a high-level battle, and will play the FA Cup in three days' time, while Villa will only have to wait for their work. This can't be blamed on UEFA's arrangement, the time has already been set, it's just that Manchester United didn't happen to catch up with both games.
This season, Li Haolong has been paying attention to the Premier League games, especially several giant teams, and he is also very familiar with the characteristics of Manchester United, and this familiarity is not something that can be achieved by watching videos for a few days. In the final on the 24th, Li Haolong rushed to Sweden with Xiaoxue, Han Shao and the coaching staff to watch the scene, firstly, for a closer intuitive observation, and secondly, to relax and experience the atmosphere of the cup final.
It took a long period of struggle before the season for United to get back on track, and the five brightest players this season are Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Herrera and Eric Bailly.
Swedish superstar Ibrahimovic who came on a free transfer at the age of 35 played for the first time in the world's most open and fierce league, and he didn't see the slightest old age, except for his near-perfect speed, not only acting as a bridgehead for Manchester United, but also falling into the eyes of everyone in terms of individual goals, before Christmas with 25 games and 16 goals broke Manchester United's 14-year record, and the last Manchester United striker who could reach a total of 16 goals in the season before Christmas was Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2002, Not counting these two finals over the course of the season, 32 goals have been scored. At the age of 35, he broke one record after another: when he first joined for a medical examination, he broke the record of Manchester United's strength test, the oldest player in the Premier League to score more than 15 goals in a single season, scored 10+ league goals in 11 consecutive seasons, scored 15 goals Manchester United is the fourth fastest in the history of Manchester United, has scored 20+ goals in all competitions in 10 consecutive seasons, the first player in the Premier League to score in the first three games, and scored 50 goals in the whole of 2016, only behind Messi (51 goals), He also shines a light on scoring on his debuts in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Champions League.
With the world record of 1. In addition to the rustiness at the beginning of the season, Pogba, who transferred to Manchester United with 0.5 billion euros, has played a huge role in the Manchester United team, whether it is ball control, passing, transferring, and long-range shots, he has shown a first-class level, and his tacit understanding with Ibrahimovic "69 connection" is also Manchester United's most important offensive means. However, he has the common problems of young people, he is impetuous, and he relies on his height and strong skills to have some sticky balls, and he likes to retaliate after being caught in a fight and being cut off.
Compared with the previous two gods, Li Haolong is most worried about Mkhitaryan who joined the title of "Bundesliga assist king", he was hidden at the beginning of the season until December, he did not usher in the outbreak, his clever and erratic running position, providing Manchester United with much-needed depth, speed and breakthrough, excellent individual skills make the ball always at his feet, positive attitude, wide vision, highly imaginative legend and superb shooting skills, completely revitalized Manchester United's frontcourt.
Herrera was firmly pressed into the playmaker's midfield, and although he was a little thin, his tireless scrambling and good awareness fully made up for his physical disadvantage, and he contributed a lot in grooming the midfield, and Carrick was arguably Pogba's most trusted comrade behind him.
The arrival of the young Ivorian Eric Bailly at the back has given the back line a rare stability and solidity in recent years, and the former rough Rojo next to him has also been like a new person, showing the demeanor of a general, plus Valencia and Phil Jones, who have been stable, the back line has been further upgraded. However, the backline is not without flaws, in the left-back position Li Haolong can take a good calculation, Manchester United this season on the left-back respectively used Luke Shaw, Darmian, Blind, these three or their own shortcomings or instability, there is more space to play.
Manchester United once ranked sixth, and they only merged in the first season to come from behind and reach the Champions League zone, just because the pit dug in front was too deep, there were too many draws, and the Chelsea in front was too stable, and it was a great luck for Manchester United to reach this point.
