Chapter 274: News of Coming to Hong Kong

However, the topic did not become the focus for long, and the attention was mainly focused on two things, one was the final of the Champions League, and after a fierce competition, Liverpool and AC Milan defeated their opponents to advance to the final of the Champions League, and the two teams will face each other in the final.

It's a much-anticipated matchup!

In 2005, Liverpool and AC Milan were in the final between Liverpool and AC Milan, and in that match, Liverpool created the 'Istanbul Mythical Night', and after falling behind by three goals, Liverpool turned the tide in just six minutes and finally beat AC Milan on penalties.

That has become the greatest reversal in the history of the Champions League!

Two years later, the two teams met again on the same stage, what will be the result this time? Will Liverpool continue their success, or will AC Milan get their revenge and become the European champions?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

The other focus is on the transfer market, as the season draws to a close, there are all kinds of transfer news, and each club has a lot of related news, such as Manchester United, who have 'lost again' this season, they are about to make a big move in the transfer market.

"We need speed up front." Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said a sentence that led to the focus of the forward line's 'reform'.

Samuel Eto'o or Michael Owen?

Judging from the current news, Irving is more likely.

Owen's contract states that once a club bid reaches 9 million pounds, Newcastle must release him, and Ferguson, who has just had a large transfer fee, is obviously full of confidence, and the "Express" article said that in order not to destroy the good relationship between Manchester United and Newcastle, Ferguson plans to increase the bid to 11 million pounds, so that Newcastle United can charge 2 million pounds more, and Owen can leave relatively smoothly.

The striker circle has been decided, and Manchester United's midfield reinforcements are also underway.

Hargreaves' takeover was blocked, and Manchester United immediately introduced a second-hand plan, according to some major media outlets. Manchester United's star Cristiano Ronaldo will personally go out to convince compatriot Deco to join Manchester United.

Half a year ago, the two had opposite roles, when Deco persuaded Cristiano Ronaldo to join Barcelona, and now that Barcelona is not in a good situation, C-Ronaldo took the opportunity to woo Deco.

With Cristiano Ronaldo's successful rise at Manchester United and Queiroz's growing power, the Portuguese player has become a favorite in the eyes of Manchester United, and in addition to Deco, Sporting Lisbon's Nani and Benfica winger Simão are both on United's list of signings.

As Manchester United's sworn rivals, Manchester City has won the league title for two consecutive seasons, and it is naturally the focus of attention. Manchester City's results are magnificent, and the news is indispensable, the most significant of which is the Thai consortium's investment in Manchester City FC, and at the same time, Manchester City has received a lot of attention in terms of signings and transfers.

Torres, Anelka!

One ready to go in, the other ready to go out, and the names of these two players alone overshadow all the transfer news of Manchester United.

Torres has performed very well at Atletico Madrid, captaining and being the star of the game. At the same time, he is also the main striker of the Spanish national team, and is affectionately called the 'Spanish golden boy' by Spanish media fans.

Such a star is enough to be called a 'superstar', and his transfer is undoubtedly very much concerned. At the moment, the closest to him are Premier League teams - Manchester City and Liverpool, Manchester City are more competitive in comparison.

In terms of financial resources and the attractiveness of the manager, Manchester City have a big advantage. According to media analysis, even without the injection of funds from the Thai consortium, Manchester City can easily come up with more than 30 million pounds of transfer funds to invest in the transfer market. What's more, judging from Manchester City's series of actions, they must be ready to sell Anelka, Anelka's value is no lower than Torres, so Manchester City has a more advantageous financial advantage.

In terms of head coaches, Wansheng cultivates young people, or rather, Wansheng's ability to cultivate players is famous, as long as the players who are favored by Wansheng will almost have a good performance.

At this point, Benitez is gone, and among the Spanish players he introduced, only Xavi Alonso has performed well, such as Luis Garcia and Josemi, who have performed very well and have not shined much in the Premier League.

Therefore, Manchester City is more attractive than Liverpool in terms of financial resources and manager.

However, in terms of the attractiveness of the club, Liverpool, as a century-old wealthy aristocrat, is definitely more attractive.

Of course, that's something to think about for Torres himself.

Another major transfer news of Manchester City, which is mentioned above, is the news that Anelka is ready to be sold, although Manchester City FC has not made it clear that it wants to sell the leading goalscorer, and Anelka has an 'ambiguous relationship' from various clubs, Anelka's agent brother is constantly wandering between major clubs, and Manchester City has not stood up to say anything, that is, Anelka is almost certain to leave.

Before the season is over, they are ready to sell the leading goalscorer, which makes many media incomprehensible, not to mention, after two seasons, Manchester City's economic situation has also improved, and they seem to be not short of money.

But it's not surprising to think of Mansheng's 'past' style.

In the season when he was in charge of Derby County in the Premier League, Derby County sold Cahill, who played for Manchester City for one season and was the top scorer in League One at the time, but when Derby entered the Premier League, Cahill left Derby County for Everton.

Last season, Manchester City sold captain Distin after winning the title.

In the last season, Distin performed quite well, is the heavyweight pillar star of Manchester City's backfield, and is also the leader player of Manchester City, especially due to age and other reasons, Distin is strong, but his value is not high, but Manchester City still chose to sell Distin.

Many media and fans did not understand this, some people thought that Manchester City chose to sell Distin in order to 'pave the way' for other players, and it proved to be quite successful - his captaincy was replaced by Morris, Morris became the spiritual leader of the team, the team's most central and key player, and his departure also made Copelle Ferreira officially the regular player, and he had a very strong performance on the field, and his partnership with Dunn became the most solid centre-back combination in the Premier League last season.

Distin's departure was surprising, but the results were still good, so now seeing Anelka leaving, there is very little opposition.

The media and fans can refer to Distin's departure and make some judgments - one is that Manchester City is trying its best to bring in Atletico Madrid star Torres, if Torres can join Manchester City, then there will definitely be players to make people, this player who gives way is difficult to be Darren Bent, because Darren Bent is still very young, and everyone with a discerning eye knows that he will be a pillar forward player in the future, and he will also become the future of the England team, so it can only be Anelka who gives way.

Although Nicolas Anelka is the Premier League's top scorer this season, so what? Manchester City has no shortage of players who can score, not to mention that Anelka's value is so high, and his departure is also in line with Manchester City's past transfer strategy.

The media is expecting how much Anelka will sell, which will undoubtedly be an extremely heavyweight transfer, and Anelka may also directly become the king of the transfer market this summer.

In the midst of the heated discussions in the media, Manchester City is still training in an orderly manner.

They have two games remaining, a league clash with Tottenham Hotspur and an FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Both games are very important.

The match with Tottenham Hotspur will give the team a chance to complete the unbeaten feat of the season, and the game against Chelsea is related to the FA Cup title, and the two games must be taken seriously, so Manchester City does not have the same atmosphere as other teams, which is about to be on holiday, and the atmosphere in the team is also very serious.

The players consciously train seriously, and Wansheng also asks the whole team to forget about the upcoming holiday and devote themselves to intense preparations.

It was at this time that Wan Sheng received a message that Kevin Tagore called to tell him directly.

"Wan Sheng, the Hong Kong Football Association would like to invite you to be the coach of the Hong Kong football team and lead the team to participate in the Asian Cup in July."

“……??”

Wan Sheng was a little dazed.

In my impression, the strength of the Hong Kong team is not very good, it should not have qualified for the Asian Cup qualifiers, even if they have completed the Asian Cup qualifiers, there is no reason to invite themselves to be the head coach to lead the team.

Kevin Tagore explains why.

In this Asian Cup qualifiers, the Hong Kong, China team was also very surprised, their results in the Asian Cup qualifiers were still over, they and the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Yemen, Singapore were divided into the same group, and finally under the leadership of head coach Li Xinxiang, the Hong Kong, China team achieved the second place in the group.

Although it is the second place in the group, because this Asian Cup is co-hosted by Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, the four countries occupy four places first, so the second group needs to compete with the second place in the other groups to appear, and finally the Hong Kong, China team still lost in the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Later, as the 'father of Hong Kong football youth training', head coach Li Xinxiang also resigned as head coach due to health reasons.

Originally, this was the case, but in April, the political and military crisis in Syria broke out, and the domestic reactionary forces and the regular army became a group, and as a result, the Syrian national team decided to withdraw from the Asian Cup finals.

Then, the Hong Kong, China team replaced Syria's quota and entered the Asian Cup finals very luckily.

This would have been good news, but head coach Lai Xinxiang is still in the hospital and cannot lead the team to train again, so the Hong Kong Football Association will have to look for a new coach who can lead the team to the Asian Cup. (To be continued.) )
