Chapter 385: The first strange thing in the Premier League
Chapter 385: The first strange thing in the Premier League
Tottenham, with one man in hand, clearly could not stop Arsenal's increasingly ferocious attack when the clock was about to enter injury time. After coming off the bench, the active attacking midfield trio managed to open up the opposition defence with excellent frequent switching runs. Although when Arsenal attacked, Tottenham had done everything they could to set up the bus.
In the end, Li Zihan crossed from the side, and Oxlade-Chamberlain followed up in the middle, receiving the ball and hitting the goal directly when the opponent's attention was on Rosicky and Ramsey. The ball flew into Tottenham's goal for the second time in the game, and Lloris's table was already very good, but his teammates didn't give it a try.
In this way, Arsenal, who played almost all the main games, defeated Tottenham Hotspur, the north London derby opponent, 2-0 at their home stadium, and successfully advanced to the next round!
When the time came to mid-January, the scandal of winter transfers was flying all over the sky. One of the most unreliable is that Chelsea, who has a weak forward line, has taken a fancy to Liverpool's leading goalscorer Suarez, one of the hottest strikers in the Premier League today. The equally unreliable The Sun has reported that Jose Mourinho has made an offer to Liverpool over the transfer of one of Uruguay's twin strikers, but Liverpool dislike the Blues' offer is not "sincere".
Spain's "Marca" newspaper has news that Real Madrid has taken a fancy to Suarez, but considering that the cost of bringing in Walesian Bale in the summer is not small. Therefore, the Galactic Battleship wants to sell Isco and Ilia Ramendi on the side of the table to recoup the funds.
At the same time, Real Madrid's scouts have been following Li Zihan for a season and a half, and after a year and a half of investigation, there is a rather detailed and even needless Arsenal club to have a poor information about Li Zihan Jiàn has been placed on Florentino's desk.
Considering that Li Zihan is as bright as ever in Serie A or in the fierce Premier League, there should be no problem after coming to La Liga, and players who adapt to the Premier League generally have no problem coming to La Liga.
Therefore, Real Madrid's current goal should be to choose between Li Zihan and Suarez, but considering commercial factors, the old man Florentino is more optimistic about the young Li. And if Real Madrid cashes out the 'Angel' Di Maria, then adding some money from the sale of Isco and Ilia Ramendi, the club can bring both to the Bernabeu.
As for the arrangement of the lineup and tactics, this is not something that Lord Florentino needs to consider, and the headache should be Ancelotti.
In Serie A, after the rumors of selling Li Zihan, Juventus regretted it a little. But there is no repurchase clause at this time, it will be expensive to buy back Li Zihan, Juventus obviously will not do the kind of stupid thing that was sold for 20 million last year and bought back for 50 million after a season. Of course, it's not that they don't like to do it, it's that they don't have the same deep pockets as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
The traditional giants AC Milan announced that they had been leading the team to unsatisfactory results, did not win the Serie A championship, and this season also brought the team to the Europa League qualification rankings 'Uncle' Allegri resigned. On the same day, Milan legend Seedorf resigned from his position as coach and player in Brazil, and then flew back to Milan in a hurry. It didn't take long for the much-anticipated Seedorf to take over the reins of Milan and start a second 'love' with his club like Antonio Conte, with Inzaghi still in the coaching team.
The rumors and scandals during the transfer period are never-ending and one of the biggest attractions for fans besides the game itself.
When it comes to the Premier League, the most transfers now are not Suarez, who has been out of control since returning from suspension, nor Li Zihan, who quickly integrated into the team and maintained excellent form after coming to Arsenal. Not even Sturridge, Sterling, Lallana, Bynes and others.
It's Manchester United, which is stuck in troubled waters.
David Moyes has been rumoured to be sacked for nearly half a season, but the Scot is still very strong in the legendary Red Devils' throne. Even after the defeat to arch-rivals Liverpool and the derby defeat to Manchester City, Moyes was not sacked. Li Zihan maliciously guessed whether this was a relationship with his beautiful daughter who often supported him on social networking sites.
Since David Moyes is not leaving, the media has turned its attention to Manchester United's players.
The Daily Mail said that because of dissatisfaction with the team's results and Moyes's tactical arrangement, Manchester United's striker Wayne Rooney is leaving the Red Devils to join Chelsea. In Moyes' tactics this season, Wayne Rooney has started to drop back from the centre-forward position to the midfield, so that he can be further away from goal. And when the wolf bèi was in the game, Lu Xiaopang had to retreat to take the ball to do some dirty work, and even ran to the midfield for a while. Whether in the game or in training, the media has taken a lot of photos of Rooney and Moyes not communicating, ignoring each other back to back, which seems to increase the credibility of the message. And Mourinho has also praised Rooney more than once through the media, and Chelsea's need for a strong center forward is not a day or two. In this way, everyone found that Rooney and Chelsea seemed to be a bit of a couple
The Times, one of Britain's European media giants, known as the world's largest newspaper, reported that after Wayne Rooney, another Red Devil striker, Dutchman Van Persie, is not satisfied with the current results. And Van Persie left Arsenal for the purpose of Ferguson and the championship to come to Manchester United. And now that Ferguson is gone, there is no way to win the championship, so Van Persie also has the idea of 'escaping' the flagship that is about to sink the ship. The biggest goal is to return to the arms of his old club Arsenal, because Van Persie is quite familiar with Arsenal, and now Arsenal is one of the biggest contenders for the title, so a return to Arsenal is more likely. Of course, it is not ruled out that Liverpool will sell the in-form Suarez at a high price, and then bring in Van Persie, who is not young.
The Red Devils Manchester United seem to have reached the point of discord and about to sink, whether it is the atmosphere in the team, the team's results and competitive state, all revealing the message that the Red Devils in the post-Ferguson era are no longer good.
The Telegraph, on the other hand, poured salt on the wounds of Red Devils fans and mended their bodies.
According to The Telegraph, Manchester United's talented youngster Zaha is dating David Moyes' daughter. Moyes was so angry with Zaha's daughter that he banned him indefinitely. And Zaha, who had a good pre-season friendly and a good start to the season, has not been in United's eighteen-man squad for a long time, which seems to be a change of direction to say something.
And the sad fans all over the world are not the Milan duo who have been reduced to 'dicks' for a long time, nor Dortmund, who was severely suppressed by Bayern in the league after a firefight, nor Tottenham, which is inversely proportional to the recruitment at the beginning of the season, and Barcelona, where Messi is injured.
It's Manchester United fans, because they were the best team in England before, and there is a world-class coach Alex Ferguson, and there are a lot of powerful stars. However, Moyes has changed in just six months since he took office, and the defending champions have become the dick team that has worked hard to qualify for the League Cup.
The 'bad news' came too quickly, and their hearts were not prepared
As for other small and medium-sized teams, there are not many rumors. Because their attention is not high, before the message comes out, their quick action turns the message into an established fact.
For example, the London Farmers who want to be relegated and the Welsh promoted polo team Cardiff City who want to stay in the Premier League.
After a 2-0 defeat to the Reds to Liverpool in the last round, Cardiff City officially announced the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the team's new manager, which also marked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's official return to the Premier League.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take over the vacancy left by the newly sacked coach Mackay who helped the team make it to the top level, and the name of the baby-faced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is back in the spotlight of Europe's major leagues.
Manchester United fans did not pay attention to Moyes at this time, but sent a congratulatory message to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a former meritorious player of his club.
Cardiff City are 17th in the league at this time, just one point above the relegation zone, so the 'babyface' challenge is still very heavy.
Not long after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Cardiff City officially announced their first signing of the winter.
Magnus Ekerem, a 23-year-old international from Norway, has officially become a new recruit for the Blue Jays, which is also the first signing of new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Of course, this is not an ordinary reinforcement, but it is quite interesting. The winter transfer window has just begun, and teams have reached a critical moment to bring in a weak squad. Cardiff City was no exception, and their 'character' boss Chen Zhiyuan announced at the time that he wanted the team to bring in a player with a '8' on his birthday, because Chen Zhiyuan believed that 8 was a lucky number, and a player with an '8' in his birth date could also bring good luck to the team.
And in fact, the highlight is that Ekerem was born in August 1990! While many people took Chen Zhiyuan's alternative words as a joke, new recruit Ekerem, who was born on August 8, 1990, really slapped the "doubter" in the face. That's right, the local tyrant Chen Zhiyuan firmly abides by his original promise, as for the success or failure of his choice, only time will test.
And if you think that this is the most bizarre thing Chen Zhiyuan has done, then you are underestimating the title of 'the first strange boss of the Premier League'.
Some media broke out that Chen Zhiyuan dismissed the meritorious coach Mackay who led the team to the Premier League despite the opposition of fans, and the reason for the intensification of the conflict between the two was because McKay asked for a transfer fee of 15 million pounds. Chen Zhiyuan wrote in an email reply to McKay: "I will not give you a son, either you resign yourself, or I will fire you." Soon after the incident, McKay lost his job, and the boycott of Chen by Cardiff City fans intensified.
So the title of 'the Premier League's No. 1 Wonderful Boss' is really well deserved
