Chapter Ninety-One: The Future of English Football!

After the UEFA Super Cup, the national leagues in European football were suspended, and the national teams once again began to compete for qualification for the final stage of the European Championship.

This time, the 'Red Devils' Manchester United suffered an unprecedented shock, as as many as 15 of their 21 first-team players were called up.

England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Spain, Wales, Serbia and other countries all have internationals at Manchester United, and even Brazil's Ganso has to go back to play a friendly between Brazil and Switzerland.

The first team's training was completely halted and the remaining six players were replaced by Simon? Grayson threw it directly to his assistant Tony? With McAndrew leading the training sessions with the players who are preparing for the youth team, he finally had time to think about what other adjustments should be made to his team's tactics.

With the addition of Bale, Mata, Krissettig, and Rivero, Manchester United's attack and defense have some different changes, just like if Di Maria does not play, Bale and Mata will increase the speed on the left side no matter who goes up, and it will be a waste if they don't make full use of it.

Krisetig is significantly better than Flanei in passing possession, playing two games with an 85 per cent pass completion rate compared to Flanei's 66 per cent, and the other two are averaging 4.5 tackles per game. Grayson will have to think about who can help the team improve their combat effectiveness more effectively.

And then there is the fact that Rivero's pass success rate is not as high as Subotic, but his tackling ability is better than Subotic, which also needs Simon? Grayson will continue to pay attention to the future.

Success, there is no accident, only inevitable!

Simon? Grayson can still summarize the team when the team is not playing and cannot train properly. This is also a detail of his success.

In September, the English media made a summary of the transfer market this summer, and in this summer's transfer market, the team with the highest net expenditure is still the "Red Devils", with a net transfer expenditure of 77 million pounds, more than double the 35 million pounds of Leeds United in second place.

In the transfer market, the most lucrative club of the summer has exceeded all expectations. It turned out to be the ...... "Blue Moon" Manchester City!

After Van Gaal took charge of the team, the old problem still did not change, he still wanted to control the dressing room in his own hands, and I don't know what he and the Manchester City board said, and finally they sold the 29-year-old Belgium international and captain Kompany to Barcelona for 29 million pounds, and Manchester City made a net profit of 28 million pounds in the transfer market this season.

Manchester City's income in the transfer market is not as much as the other four money-making clubs Newcastle, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Derby County combined.

However, the 20 English Premier League teams are still very invested in the transfer market, with a total net investment of 203 million pounds, and the financial resources of the world's first league are still impressive.

In addition to counting the money invested in transfers. The media also summarized the current wage expenditure rankings of each team, after signing Bale, Mata, Krissettig and Rivero in the summer, Manchester United's wage expenditure is also rising, jumping to the top of the table with 119 million pounds, one million pounds more than Manchester City in second place.

However, even the Bolton team, which has the least wage expenditure, has a wage expenditure of 20 million pounds, and the overall level and strength of the Premier League can be seen from this wage statistics table.

Among the three most expensive transfer deals. Manchester United's Bale is £40 million and Juan Mata is £31 million in first and second place, while Tottenham Hotspur bought Uruguayan left winger Gaston from Spain's Malaga team for £27 million. Ramirez.

There were 17 deals with transfers in excess of £10 million. Among them, 13 players worth tens of millions of dollars have transferred from outside the Premier League, and only two players have unexpectedly transferred to the Premier League...... Kompany and Hernandez.

It can be said that the English Premier League is still the most attractive league in the world, in addition to the internal change of hands, in addition to the internal change of hands, only 2 of the 13 stars from the outside have been introduced, and the level of the league has naturally risen again.

As if to confirm this statement. The 'Three Lions' comfortably won 3-0 at home to Poland on 5 September, with Shaq netting twice and veteran captain John Terry netting a goal.

In this training camp, Stewart recruited veterans Terry, Jagielka, Glenn? Johnson and three other veterans who are over 30 years old. And without exception are all defenders, it seems that the England manager is sending a signal that he does not agree with the young defenders in England today, otherwise he would not have recruited so many veterans in this area.

The media also commented that the current midfield strength of English football is indeed world-class, and even because of the presence of Shaq, the attacking power of the England team surpasses that of other teams, but football is a collective competitive sport, otherwise the England team will not be the runner-up but the champion in the rest of the world.

The problem to be solved at the moment is the lack of defenders, and the lack of young and excellent defenders in English football is already a fact that has to be admitted, and the media has also issued a call for major teams to tap the potential of local players and strive to cultivate an excellent future.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams are the target of criticism, the overall strength of these teams is indeed very strong, but look at how many English players there are in the back line of these teams, not to mention the defenders who can enter the main lineup, in the long run, I am afraid that English football wants to become the world champion and I don't know how many years it will take.

Mourinho didn't take these media criticisms seriously at all, he and Van Gaal and others are all foreigners, they have little interest in the development of English football, and leading their team to good results is fundamental.

Can Simon? Grayson is different, he is an Englishman through and through. When he was playing, he also dreamed of winning the world championship for England one day, but unfortunately he didn't have that ability.

But after becoming a football coach, Simon? Grayson has not forgotten his dream, since he can't help England win the world title as a player, he should have a chance as a manager, especially since he has achieved good results now. And he also cultivated Shaq, Ben? Parker, Ashley? Hood, Jonny? Howson and other powerful players, now coaching Manchester United, there are also Smalling, Rooney and other England team stars, he can also be regarded as a famous coach with his own disciples, if he goes to coach the "Three Lions", he will definitely be able to master this team.

Because of this, when discussing the transfer of Bale with Real Madrid president Florentino, he accepted the invitation of the other party and left a back door, if the English FA sent an invitation to him. He will definitely take charge of England and he is keen to have the opportunity to prove himself with LinkedIn Glen.

But now...... It wasn't the right time, when Hodgson came to power, Simon? Grayson has just started at Leeds United, and then Hodgson left and had a daughter-in-law for many years. Grayson still has his sights set on next summer's European Championships, and if Stewart fails to lead LinkedIn Gran to the desired results at the tournament, his chance will come.

But for now. Simon? Grayson still has to work hard to show his managerial qualities, and only he has to continue to be successful at Manchester United. When the time comes, he has accumulated enough prestige and a rich resume to take advantage of the situation to fight for the position of manager of the "Three Lions".

Until then...... Maybe it's also necessary to develop young defenders.

On September 12, in the third round of the English Premier League, Manchester United welcomed Wolves at home. Grayson started the rotation in this game, with Evans, Smalling, Cleverley and others all on the court. Wayne Rooney and Ganso in midfield were given a chance to rest.

Although even the captain of the team did not play, Manchester United really didn't need to take too seriously against an opponent like Wolves at home, not to mention Shaq, who wore the captain's armband on his arm, because of the sense of responsibility.

In this game, the home team did not field all their main players. But it was disastrous for the visitors, especially when Schak broke out and Wolves were completely discouraged because of the ...... in this game Shaq set a record!

Shaq fired wildly in the game, with heavy artillery on his left and right feet, plus header bombardment, and scored eight goals in a row in 11 minutes, 33 minutes, 40 minutes, 45 minutes, 48 minutes, 55 minutes, 72 minutes, and 89 minutes!

A Race ...... Eight balls!

Even Shaq, who has excellent goalscoring ability, has never scored so many goals in a single game, and of course there are players who have scored more goals in football history, but games like Australia's 31-0 victory over American Samoa and 22-0 against Tonga are really incomparable.

At least in the high-level matches of Europe's top five leagues and the Champions League, Shaq's 8 goals in a single game is definitely an amazing record!

With these eight goals, Shaq's tally this season has reached 20 goals in five games, an average of four goals per game, and an average of one goal in 22.5 minutes, which is a terrifying efficiency.

However, the score of this game was not 8-0, but 10-0, and Nani and Cleverley also scored a goal each.

After three rounds of league games, Manchester United continued to rank first with a winning record, but "Madman" Bielsa led Leeds United to a complete winning record, and because of goal difference, Chelsea rose to second place, which is directly related to Bielsa's beginning to reuse his fellow "beast" Tevez.

Third and fourth are Chelsea and Manchester City, both of whom have won both of them, with Jose Mourinho's side still holding a clean sheet record and Louis van Gaal's side still narrowly missing a one-goal victory.

In addition to these four teams, other teams have already begun to be excluded from the championship group by the media...... (To be continued......)
