No one can say what the upcoming season will be, but this summer has definitely been buzzing with English football.

As in the previous summer, Russia's richest man, Roman Roman Roman Chelsea, has once again become the protagonist of the whole of Europe, pouring large sums of money at almost no cost in the European transfer market.

First of all, the most noteworthy thing is that Porto championship coach Jose Mourinho has joined Chelsea, and the news was confirmed before June, and Mourinho has already confirmed his arrival at Chelsea almost after leading Porto to the title.

The media broke the news that Mourinho has received the highest salary of a coach in the world, Chelsea has prepared a new four-year contract for him, and the 41-year-old Mourinho will surpass England card coach Eriksen to become the world's highest-paid football team manager with an annual salary of 5 million pounds - 100,000 pounds a week is the same as Crespo and Veron, the highest paid players in the Chelsea team, and this figure is even twice that of Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger!

Jose Mourinho has won two European cups and numerous domestic titles for Porto, and before leaving, Mourinho wants to give the club another big gift, which is currently 40 million pounds in debt, and if Mourinho can convince Abobou to buy a few Porto players, it will be what Porto president Da Costa is happy to see - although da Costa is still threatening to sue Chelsea to UEFA for "illegal contact", but the club is actively Judging from Real Madrid's abandoned coach Queiroz to take over Mourinho, the president of Porto has already "accepted his fate".

Then, Deco, Dellai, Costinha, Ricardo Carvalho and Paolo Ferreira are all linked to Chelsea's name, and although Bayern are also interested in Deco, it is believed that following his mentor to England is still the first choice for the Portuguese 'Magic', and Mourinho wants to bring Carvalho, a centre-back who played well in the Champions League final, to Stamford Bridge to replace the old captain Desailly.

Just when many media outlets questioned Mourinho's 'rights' at Chelsea. The team's president, Roman Abramovich, gave Mourinho the greatest support, saying that Mourinho will have the right to transfer the club's 'number one', which means that all Chelsea player sales are all Mourinho's own decision.

And so the transfer storm began.

First Ricardo Carvalho, Paulo Ferreira, Thiago Mendes, then Cech, Robben, Kezman, Drogba...... Before the end of the European Championship, Chelsea completed a series of transfers almost at lightning speed, the biggest of which was Drogba's £24 million, which is definitely the top player in the world, but Drogba was not very famous before, which made many media look at Chelsea as if they were wronged.

It's only been a month. Chelsea spent £95 million on the stars, and at the same time, they eliminated some players who were not part of the plan by way of cheap prices or even outright terminations, which gave Chelsea an immediate new look, and they could be described as 'star-studded' more than last season.

They immediately became the focus of the English media.

In contrast, another notable team is Liverpool, who also made a change of manager in the summer, replacing Houllier with Spaniard Rafael Benitez. At just 43 years old, he is also a champion coach and is even a year older than Jose Mourinho.

In terms of coaching experience, Benitez spent three years in Valencia. Helping the team win two La Liga trophies, a Copa del Rey and a European League title is not as good as Mourinho's two 'treble' titles for Porto, but considering Valencia is a La Liga team. They face competition from two big clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, and Rafael Benitez has been able to lead the team to perfection, thanks to the 'small treble' of the league title, the UEFA Cup and the Copa del Rey. Benitez caught the attention of all over Europe and after a peaceful breakup with Valencia, he moved to England to become the head coach of Liverpool FC.

Compared to Mourinho, who immediately became the focus of attention when he came to England, Benitez is much more low-key, perhaps, this is also because the Liverpool club, which cannot keep up with Chelsea, cannot let him get this kind of attention, but Liverpool's recruitment still costs a lot of money, Xavi Alonso, Luis Garcia, Josemi, Cisse four players also cost Liverpool 30 million pounds, but at the same time they sold Husky, Murphy, and especially most importantly, They sold England's golden boy Michael Owen to Real Madrid, which made the English media and fans quite dissatisfied, so it is conceivable what Liverpool can get.

But Liverpool are actually pretty good.

They surprisingly became the 'second focus' behind Chelsea in the summer, which was previously difficult, and although they are one of the Premier League giants, they have not achieved much success since the start of the Premier League, and many fans are on the verge of forgetting Liverpool - even though they are still serious contenders for a Champions League place every season.

Manchester United, the traditional 'hegemon' of the Premier League, and last season's league champions, Arsenal, are much more low-key.

Manchester United seems to have done only one thing in the summer - chasing Everton's new star Wayne Rooney, this news has been the news since March, and it is still this news, the only change is that everyone knows that Everton is definitely going to sell Rooney, and Manchester United is definitely going to buy Rooney, but because of this, Everton is even more eager to stab Manchester United, and the result is the current situation - Everton's price tag for Rooney, Manchester United is difficult to accept, and at the same time they want Rooney very badly.

This seems to be the only news about Manchester United in July, and the arrivals of Alan Smith and Heinze seem to have gone unnoticed at all, and perhaps these two players are really difficult to attract the attention of fans, after all, they are not worth much, and a player worth millions of pounds is really nothing for a team of Manchester United's level.

Arsenal...... It's even more low-key.

Everyone knows that they are raising funds for the construction of a new stadium, and it is difficult for the club to have any transfer fees, in this case, it is understandable that Arsenal is low-key, and the only news that the media revealed about Arsenal is that they have bought a new Dutch star Robin van Persie, but just a striker, just look at the Arsenal striker. This young kid must have added depth to the bench again, and no one cared at all.

Other than that, it's gone.

This is Arsenal in July.

Compared with England's four major concerned teams, Derby County is naturally unknown, even if Derby County still has two million-level transfer news, but it is also difficult to attract the attention of the English media, after all, this is the Premier League, and millions of pounds of transfers in the Premier League abound, especially the players purchased by Derby County are very unknown, and it is even more difficult to attract media attention.

So since the preparation for the Derby County game, the name of the team has hardly been seen on the news.

There may also be media reporters who want to know what Derby County is doing. But the team's training is closed, and even not open to the public for two weeks, which has caused some media dissatisfaction, and many Derby County fans also want to see the team, but Wansheng insists on closed training, except for two warm-up games, the team does not let the team contact the outside world at all, and is dedicated to training and preparing for the new season.

The training effect is very good.

Everyone can feel the improvement in the team's tactical training, which gives everyone more confidence. Naturally, there are fewer complaints about hard training, especially with the new arrivals.

In the beginning, Van der Vaart and others couldn't understand the team's training, they didn't know why everyone thought so. It's just training, just keep in shape and know how the team should play? But after a period of training where they had no choice but to keep working hard, they became much more motivated because they clearly felt their improvement. At the same time, you can also feel the improvement of the whole team in tactical training.

This is astonishing.

In just two weeks, you can feel a significant improvement, which is incredible to many. It's like learning a sport, you don't know it at all at the beginning, you usually have to practice for a long time to become proficient, in terms of football tactics, it's a long time, generally teams are calculated in months or even years, two weeks is almost equivalent to just starting out relative to proficient tactics, but they already feel that the team is already very proficient in tactics, and can even apply tactics to the game.

It's a surprising feeling, and the veteran players are used to it, and they attribute it to the ability to win, in their words, "that's the sport of science." ”

Van der Vaart and the others were at first dismissive of it, but now they felt that their teammates were right, otherwise how could they explain that they quickly became familiar with the tactics and were able to put them into practice? What excites them in particular is that they adapt to the team very quickly, they thought they would have to transition for a while to fully adapt to the team, but now they don't have that problem, they feel like they can play in the official game and they can adapt to the position and work well with their team-mates.

In this case, Wansheng also arranged two warm-up matches, one against Gillingham and the other with Middlesbrough.

Gillingham are a Championship team (in the summer of 2004, the English Championship was formed, replacing the previous League One), the two teams were still at the same level before, but now they are completely different, this is the first warm-up game of the summer for Derby County, it still received a lot of attention, but in the end Derby County only played 1:0, although the victory was good, but only one goal was won, it was still a little less.

After the game, the media's evaluation of Derby County was that "the performance of the whole team is very average, and it seems that it is not as good as last season." ”

After that, Derby County played the second warm-up game, the opponent was McLaren's Middlesbrough, which was a warm-up game that Wansheng himself contacted, and he had a good personal relationship with McLaren, and the warm-up game was decided after a phone call.

This warm-up match is a match between two Premier League teams, before the official start of the league, it is still very concerned, even those league opponents, there are a lot of attention to the game between the two teams, but the game is actually not much to see, both managers are in the game frequently adjust the tactics, frequent substitutions, both teams did not care about the result at all, the final game ended 2:2, the two teams drawn, and ended peacefully.

In the game, Derby County still played very mediocre.

To paraphrase a more positive comment in the media, "Derby County's table xiàn is completely inferior to last season, their strength has decreased, and the new season can only aim for relegation." ”

This disappointed many Derby County fans.

At the same time, there has been a noticeable reduction in the attention of the English media, and although they were the stars of last season and were highly anticipated in the summer, the two warm-up games, as well as the low profile of Derby, proved that they were just an ordinary team.

A lot of people also feel normal.

Derby County were good last season because they played in the second division, so a little stronger will naturally show a good performance, but this season they are in the top league and every game in the league will be against strong opponents, every game is difficult for them, so they are reduced to ordinary teams.

After all, compared to the big investments of Chelsea and Liverpool, and compared to the historical strength of Manchester United and Arsenal, Derby County is really nothing.

It is in this kind of reporting and perception that even fewer people are paying attention to Derbyshire.

But what many people don't know is that after the game against Middlesbrough, Wan Sheng led the team back to Derby, and when all the players got off the bus, the first thing he said to the players was, "Everyone has a good table today, as long as we can maintain our form in a week, we will definitely win the first round of the league!" ”

His voice was full of confidence.

Many players also clenched their fists and were full of fighting spirit, because in the first round of the league, they faced last season's Premier League champions Arsenal. (To be continued......) R1292
