Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Premier League

If Deegan wants to succeed in the Premier League, the first thing he has to face is the challenge from the other 19 teams, or in other words, if Deegan wants to succeed in England, all he has to do is to knock out the other 19 opponents one by one.

First of all, it is impossible to ignore last season's Premier League champions Manchester City, and the Blues manager is also an old acquaintance of Degan's Robert. Mancini!

After three seasons of Mancini's tuning, today's Manchester City has completely changed the former pure English football and began to shift to a technical flow that focuses on ball control, pays attention to passing and cutting coordination, and focuses on the penetration of short passes in the middle.

In attack, Manchester City can definitely rank in the top three of the Premier League, but the defense is quite porous, because there is no traditional full-back, the offensive and defensive ends of the wing rely more on the full-backs, and there are gaps and hidden dangers in the defense of the wing.

Midfield: Double back midfield, Central Asia. Once Toure focuses on attack, the protection of the single back is a little weak, the front line relies on flexible small players, the lack of high point support in the penalty area, and the tactical lack of wide balls, and the attacking routine of overly concentrated in the middle is prone to encounter a deadlock that is difficult to break through the dense defense.

The core player of the team is Yaya, who used to play for Barcelona. Toure, the captain of the Ivory Coast national team, is a balanced player on the pitch and has often turned the tide on his way to Manchester City's title last season.

Manchester United, who lost the league title in the final round of last season, but, as the English media said, as long as Alex Ferguson is around, the team will always be the favourites to win the title.

The Red Devils Manchester United, who have been trained by Alex Ferguson for many years, mainly play two wings in the game, emphasizing flying on both wings, focusing on the whole and the transfer of long passes, with a concise and effective style of play, balanced attack and defense, and will be Tottenham's most difficult opponent this season.

However, due to Ferguson's too tone of the wings, when the wings are switched, they can't return to defense in time, which often causes the fullbacks to be played more and less, and the two central defenders are very strong in frontal defense, but they are relatively short and flexible and fast forwards, there is no full-time back, the defensive ability of the two central forwards is not strong, and the central defenders often have to face the opposing attacking players directly, and at the same time, once the tandem between the striker and the midfielder Kagawa Shinji is targeted, the attack will be greatly reduced, and there are too few players who can change the situation of the game by themselves in the attack, lack of change.

The core player of the Red Devils Manchester United is undoubtedly the little fat Rooney, after years of fighting in the professional arena, Rooney is no longer the super newcomer at the beginning, in Manchester United, he is a well-deserved attacking core, and can contribute a lot of goals to Manchester United every season.

Arsenal, the Gunners have not enjoyed the joy of the championship for many years, because the preparation for the construction of the Emirates Stadium has allowed Arsenal to continue to operate on a small budget in recent seasons when other teams are recruiting.

However, if you despise Arsenal as an opponent because of this, it will suffer a big loss, and the team that teaches Arsene Wenger pays great attention to ball control in the game, pays attention to passing and cutting coordination, short pass penetration, and at the same time effectively uses the width of the court, lateral passing, side and middle transposition, seeking gaps, flexible frontcourt running, no fixed position, and often uses a small range of continuous cooperation to tear apart the opponent's defense.

However, because of the overemphasis on passing cooperation, the Gunners' style of play is somewhat single, lacking flexibility, with the departure of Fabregas and Nasri one after another, the team has lost the organizational core, the offense has lost its backbone, and there is a lack of ways to shrink the defense in the face of the opponent, and it is too dependent on Van Persie to retreat to organize and score goals, and when he is not on the field, the whole team is often helpless.

And the frontcourt counter-robbery and return defense are not active enough, which often leads to the defense line directly facing the opponent's attack, the defenders often lack concentration, do not follow people, expose gaps, the central defenders have poor header defense ability, fear of strong centers, the goalkeeper plays unstable, often makes mistakes, the whole team's defensive awareness is weak, and the opponent often counterattacks successfully.

At the heart of the Gunners is Robin van Persie, last season's Premier League player of the year and top scorer with 30 league goals, captaining the team out of trouble and delivering an unrepeatable season.

Newcastle United, the Magpies are no longer the brave they used to be, but they are still an important force to be reckoned with in the Premier League, because of the overall strength, the Magpies tend to defend and counterattack when playing, and the front court relies on Cabaye's pass and Ben Arfa's breakthrough to seek opportunities, and both forwards have a strong ability to seize opportunities to score.

However, due to the absence of traditional full-backs, the offensive and defensive ends of the wing rely more on full-backs, and there are hidden dangers in the defense of the wings.

The heart of the Magpies' squad was Cabaye, who joined the Magpies in his debut season as Ligue 1 champions, and the Frenchman has become the heart of the team's midfield with his excellent performances at both ends of the pitch, with excellent passing playmaking and free-kick scoring ability.

Chelsea, last season's rival in the Champions League final, although they failed to win the trophy, Italian Di Matteo was offered a new contract at the end of the season.

In the summer of 2011, Di Matteo returned to Chelsea as an assistant coach, and during the winter break, Villas-Boas was dismissed, Di Matteo was appointed interim manager of Chelsea, and led the team to win the FA Cup and reach the Champions League final.

In the past, the Blues played rough and direct, in recent years, with the arrival of managers such as Scolari, Carlo Ancelotti and Villas-Boas, the style of play has gradually shifted towards technical flow, with the arrival of Di Matteo's correction in the new season, as well as the arrival of Oscar and other technical players in the front, Chelsea's future style of play will be more delicate, focusing on ball control and passing coordination, under the premise of strong defense at the back, the attack is dominated by short passes in the middle.

However, the attacking players in the front court are generally short in stature, the offensive line is mainly on the ground, and it may be difficult to defend in the face of the iron bucket, the main striker Torres has not improved for a long time, and has fallen into a strange circle of not scoring for a long time, substitute strikers Sturridge and Lukaku are either too lonely or too young, difficult to pick the beam, the two fullbacks in the back line lack of substitutes, and the main left wingback Ashley. It is doubtful that Kerr and the captain of the main centre-back John Terry will be able to continue to perform as they age, and it is also questionable whether they can successfully coexist with traditional power players such as Frank Lampard after successive acquisitions of a number of technical players.

As Frank Lampard gets older, Chelsea's core player has become Spanish teenager Juan Mata, who has adapted well to the rhythm of the Premier League in his debut season with the Blues, with excellent foot skills, flexible interspersed runs and imaginative precision passing, completely controlling Chelsea's attack, and was a major contributor to Chelsea's FA Cup triumph.

Everton, the Toffees have become the backbone of the Premier League under the tutelage of manager David Moyes, who began his coaching career at Preston North End and led the small team to excellent results over the course of four seasons.

In 2002, at the age of 39, Moyes arrived at a slumping Everton and became the manager of Everton at a young age, and in his ten seasons in charge of Everton, Moyes was named England's manager of the year three times, and brought Everton to the European stage four times, and is a very good manager.

Everton's style of play pays attention to the balance of attack and defense, the style of play is concise, and the cooperation is skillful and smooth, from the traditional long pass rushing in the past, gradually turning to the ground coordination, cutting inside on both sides to break through in the middle, and the organization tandem with the intention of finding a gap behind the opponent, and the side is basically handed over to Barnes on the left side to make accurate crosses.

However, Moyes's single-striker tactics must rely on the striker's strong individual ability, as well as tactical execution ability, once the main striker is in a slump or absent, and the midfielder can not provide enough support, the attack will be deadlocked, and the striker position lacks substitutes, and the left wing-back has a strong ability to assist, often inserting assists, and is easy to be beaten behind.

The current core player of the Toffees is Phil. Neville, despite his advanced age, Phil. Neville has a wealth of experience and well-rounded defensive skills, and is known as an all-round warrior, and although he will get fewer and fewer opportunities to play, he will still be the spiritual leader of the team.

Liverpool, the Reds' performance last season after Benitez's departure, it was really difficult to satisfy their supporters, and the current manager of the team is Brandon. Brendan Rodgers, who has a modest but illustrious resume, has managed Watford and Reading before enjoying great success in charge of Swansea, leading them to promotion to the Premier League in his first full season in charge and the following season to a top-half of the table.

Under Brendan Rodgers' leadership, Swansea played a fluid and spectacular attacking football, and the 39-year-old is arguably the best of the new generation of football coaches, a brilliant tactician, a good morale booster and an enterprising football mindset.

In the past, Liverpool was a traditional English style of play, focusing on attacking from the wings, with center forward Carroll as the tactical fulcrum, focusing on side crosses, and relying on Suarez's personal ability to seek breakthrough shots, the new coach Rodgers may bring new tactical ideas to the team, and the front court will increase ground cooperation to find gaps, Suarez and Borini will be important pieces to implement this idea.

But there are also some problems that need to be paid attention to, such as Suarez's style of play, it is difficult to form a cooperation with his teammates, it is easy to fall into the opponent's bag and stop the attack, and at the same time there is a lack of orthodox wing attacking players, and the side attack is difficult to live, the two fullbacks, especially the right side, like to insert assists, will expose a large gap in the back, giving the opponent a chance to counterattack, the central defender is tall, slow to turn, and afraid of flexible and fast forwards.

The Reds' core player is naturally Steven Gerrard, who is the heart and spirit of the team, with excellent physicality, speed and strength, and is an all-round player.

Fulham, a small team that often convulses, can reach the Champions League when they are in good form, and if they are not in good form, they can only watch their performances in the Championship next season.

The head coach is Dutchman Martin. Joel has coached Ajax in the Eredivisie, Hamburg in the Bundesliga and Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League, playing more than 400 games at home and abroad, and his experience and experience will be his greatest asset.

Martin. Joel's tactics pay attention to the balance of attack and defense, the formation is compact, the formation is very close when attacking and defending, especially the two wing offensive players often adduct, the whole team has a strong tactical execution ability, the side is more handed over to Duff and Reeser to break through and cross to create space for the middle, and the offense emphasizes more on Diarra as the offensive core, and Ruiz forms a small team to create a threat in the middle.

The disadvantage is that the protection of the side defense is not enough, it is easy to be penetrated, the central defender is tall and bulky, turns slowly, is easy to be beaten behind, is afraid of the opponent's attacking players with speed advantages, midfielder Diarra and the two wing players are average, and the defensive ability is relatively poor, the front-court offensive organization is too dependent on Ruiz, once it is stared to death, the offense will be deadlocked, the offensive side is too much to pursue the short pass penetration in the middle and hit the gap behind the opponent, and it is easy to suffer from the dense defense in the middle, There is not enough exploitation of the attacks on the flanks and there is a lack of really productive goalscorers in the box.

Ruiz, the new generation of Fulham players who have been transformed from goal-scoring goalscorers to wide players after Dempsey's move to Tottenham Hotspur, has fully exploited his dribbling and passing abilities, and will have an excellent season in the new season, who is more familiar with his new role.

West Bromwich Albion, who has been a giant for many years, will not surprise the fans too much, nor will they disappoint the fans, and the current head coach of the team is Scotsman Steve. Clark, a right-back as a player, played for Chelsea FC for many years and is the best right-back in Chelsea history. After retiring as a player, he worked as an assistant coach at Liverpool before becoming West Bromwich Albion in the summer of 2012, replacing Roy Hodgson, who had been promoted to England national team manager.

The team's technical and tactical play, under Hodgson's rule, West Bromwich Albion's style not only retains the sharp ground coordination of the Di Matteo era, but also adds the three-dimensionality of the attack, and the team's header scoring ability in set-piece and corner kick tactics is outstanding, and the style of play is more abundant.

The disadvantages are that the defensive ability on the wing is poor, it is easy to be blown up, the two tall central defenders have obvious shortcomings in dealing with flexible technical players, Murumbu is a defensive player in the back position is slightly weak, the attack is too dependent on Odenmwini, the substitute players are poor, and the depth of the bench is lacking.

The core player of the team is Brent, the core of the attacking playmaking in the front court, who has excellent passing and set-piece footwork, and is the main weapon that the team relies on in attack.

Swansea, the Premier League's dark horse for many years, predicts relegation before the start of each season, but at the end of each season, people are surprised to find that this small team is still in the league and seems to be in a very good position.

The head coach is the famous Danish star Laudrup, Laudrup has played for Juventus, Lazio, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Ajax and other top European teams when he was a player, and after retiring Laudrup served as an assistant coach of the Danish national team, and then coached Brondby in China, and won the Danish Coach of the Year award twice. This summer, he joined Swansea City to replace former manager Brendan Rodgers, who went to Liverpool to coach.

The team's technical and tactical style of play, focusing on offensive football, attacking stronger than defending, emphasizing ball control, attacking mostly based on ground coordination, and the two wings are particularly active.

The disadvantage is that it is too advocating offense and ball control, but the defense is relatively weak, after the departure of the core of the team, Michu and De Guzman introduced from La Liga can replace the role of Iceland sniper is still unknown, focusing on short pass coordination and the pursuit of control instead of defense tactics, in the face of the opponent's front-court targeted crazy pressing, it is easy to cause mistakes, and the opponent quickly counterattacks, and there are huge shortcomings in the defense of high-altitude balls in the backline.

At present, Britton is the core of the team's offensive and defensive transitions, and their excellent big-picture vision and ball control skills at their feet have made a qualitative leap forward for a small team like Swansea that pursues high ball possession.

Norwich, the team's biggest name is their head coach Irish football legend Chris. Hughton, who has spent most of his football career in England, has played for Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Brightford as a player, and as a coach he has managed Tottenham, Newcastle and Birmingham City before being appointed head coach of Norwich City FC this summer.

Norwich's technical and tactical style of play is simple and effective, high and high, focusing on long passes, rushing and hanging, is a standard English football representative, the disadvantage is that the defensive loopholes are relatively large, not systematic, the style of play is too simple, and there is a lack of change.

The current key player in the squad is former tyre worker and current canary captain Holt, a traditional English centre-forward who proved his worth with 15 goals last season and led the team to relegation.

Sunderland, Black Cats are the most individual teams in the Premier League, their results are not good, but their style of play is the most spectacular in the Premier League.

The head coach of the team, Martin. O'Neill is a well-known coach in Northern Ireland, who led the team to the league, League Cup and Scottish FA Cup treble in his first year in charge of Celtic in the Scottish Super League, helping Celtic break the previous Glasgow Rangers Football Club's 13-year monopoly on the Scottish Super League.

Sunderland's style of play is to defend and counterattack, cross from the side, organize the attack through both sides under the premise of defending the counterattack, the impact of McLean on the left side, the cross footwork and set-piece footwork of Larsson on the right side, and the grabbing point inserted by Gardner in the middle, one high and one fast on the front line.

The disadvantage of the tactics is that the offense is more dependent on Sessegnon, once it is prevented, the offense is immediately paralyzed, the back line has undergone a reorganization, resulting in frequent personnel changes and lack of tacit understanding and wholeness, there are huge hidden dangers in the central defender position, the midfield offensive and defensive conversion and organization scheduling, the lack of real core and brain, the team pays attention to the wings of the side The wings are difficult to play the best effect, and the front line also stays more on relying on individual ability to solve the battle.

The core player of the team is Sessegnon, who has excellent skills and passing, can revitalize the team's entire frontcourt attack, is the core of the team's attack, has strong individual ability, and is the team's main attacker in defensive counter-attacking tactics.

Stoke City, England's Harbour team, is coached by Welshman Tony Thony. Pulis, who played in the Hong Kong league as a player, took up a coaching position after retiring from football. At the age of 19, Pulis obtained a coaching licence from the English Football Association and at the age of 21 he obtained a UEFA Coach Licence in the First Division.

Pulis's tactical style of play pays attention to steady counterattacks, long passes and hanging, high play, good at high balls, tough style, standard British style, the disadvantage is that the style of play is too single, lack of change, the defensive players are tall and bulky, slow turning, the defensive ability of the two fullbacks on the back line is slightly lacking, the tall midfielder players, in the face of the defense of technical flow players, there are obvious shortcomings, the frontcourt offensive means rely more on high-altitude bombing and defensive counterattacks, once it suffers from effective targeted defensive manufacturing, resulting in a lack of skills.

The core player is Shawcross, who became the captain of the team at a young age, and Shawcross has strong mental strength, excellent physical fitness and defensive skills, and is the anchor of the team.

Wigan Athletic, a tough team, Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech's head was smashed by them, and the current manager of the team is Roberto. Martinez, a former Spanish professional footballer, plays as a midfielder and coached Swansea during his coaching days.

Wigan's style of play pursues a Latin style of play, with a flowing attack in midfield, and the pressure of results in the second half of the league tends to focus more on defending and counter-attacking, and the front court relies more on Moses' personal breakthroughs, as well as Maloney's playmaking passes to create chances for the front line, and the wing mainly relies on the cross of Bosejour on the left.

The disadvantage is Martinez's three-back formation, the midfielder's protection of the side is not enough, the side defense is weak, the gap between the two wing-backs is its hidden danger, and the defensive ability and protection at the front of the penalty area are not enough, the offensive side relies on the side breakthrough crosses of the two fullbacks, and the forward line relies too much on Moses' personal ability to create killing opportunities.

The core player is Moses, although he is not well-known, but his speed and technical advantages are very obvious, and he repeatedly uses his individual ability to tear through the opponent's defense, which is the source of the team's attack.

Aston Villa, an old powerhouse in the Premier League, once won the Champions League trophy, but in recent years, it has obviously declined, the head coach is Scotsman McLeish, a former professional footballer, a member of the Scottish Football Hall of Fame, selected into the ranks of legendary players of the Scottish national team, and has a wealth of coaching experience.

With the rapid decline in strength in recent years, Aston Villa are now mainly defending counter-attacks, relying on wide breaks and crosses to find Darren in the box. Bent, the advantage of high balls in set-pieces is obvious.

The disadvantages are that the defensive strength of the midfield is relatively weak, the forward line lacks strength and heading advantage, the back line suffers from large-scale personnel changes and injuries, the team's two fullbacks lack of personal defensive ability, and the central defenders' back ball and slow turning are magnified, and the offensive side relies too much on individual ability to create opportunities, while the main scorer Darren. Bent's injury highlights the reality of the inefficiency of the striker's goals.

The core player is Abang Lajo, a well-known fast horse in the Premier League, the team's central figure in the attacking frontcourt, with excellent speed and experience to create chances for the front line, but the individual scoring ability is lacking.

Queens Park Rangers, best known for their large-scale brawl in a warm-up match against China, are currently coached by Mark Brown. Hughes, a football star who has coached Wales, Blackburn, Manchester City and Fulham, was appointed head coach of Queens Park Rangers this summer.

The team's tactical style is tough, attacking stronger than defending, the midfield offensive and defensive transition is handed over to Park Ji-sung, the frontcourt attack relies more on the personal ability of Wright Jr. and Hojlet on the side to create a threat, Zamora on the front line as the fulcrum to make the ball for the team, and Tarabut behind him relies on dribbling and forward to find opportunities.

The disadvantage is that it relies too much on the individual ability of the players, and the defensive ability is too weak, and last season was only a thrilling relegation, and the final fate of this season is completely unknown.

The core player is Park Ji-sung, who was brought in from Manchester United, and the South Korean will play a key role in the improvement of the team's midfield, and his rich experience and all-round characteristics will quickly become the core of the team's midfield in the new season.

Reading, a professional football team in Reading, Berkshire, in the south-east region of England, Reading Football Club was founded in 1871, and for more than 100 years after its establishment, it was mixed in the lower leagues of England for a long time until it won the Championship in 2006, and finally scored 106 points to break the 105-point record held by Sunderland, and was promoted to the 2006/2007 Premier League, which was also the first time that Reading climbed to the top league after 135 years of establishment.

After two seasons in the Premier League, they were relegated from the English Premier League back to the English Championship after the 2007/2008 season, marking the second time in their history that they were promoted to the Premier League.

The head coach is McDermott, who played for Arsenal, Fulham, Oxford United, Huddersfield, Cardiff City and Yeovil as a player.

McDermott joined Reading in 2000 as chief scout and also coached the club's Under-17s, Under-19s and development teams, leading them to the English Reserve League title in 2006/2007 before succeeding Brenda in 2009. Roger was appointed caretaker head coach and was appointed head coach in January of the following year.

Reading's style of play is simple and ferocious, mainly based on long passes and rushes, mainly attacking the wing, its side breakthroughs and crosses are important means of attack, and the front line relies on the combination of Poglebnyak and Roberts, and both have certain individual ability and scoring ability.

The disadvantage is that the ability of the players is generally low, it is difficult to stand cheap in the confrontation, and the team's playing style is too rough and easy to eat cards.

The team's key player is Ian. Hart, who played for Leeds United, has excellent assist ability and high accuracy of free-kick skills, and has scored seven free-kicks in a season, which is a very impressive number for a defender, but due to his age, he will gradually take a back seat in the new season and contribute to the team with his rich experience.

Southampton, once one of the most successful clubs in the south of England, won the FA Cup once in their history, and were one of the Premier League's first 22 clubs founded in 1885, but were relegated to the Championship at the end of the 2004/2005 season and then to the English League One at the end of the 2008/2009 season. They were promoted to the Championship after the 2010/2011 season, followed by the Premier League after the 2011/2012 season.

Last season, Southampton relied on their excellent attacking ability to move forward in the Championship, and finally won 26 games, drew 10 and lost 10 in 46 rounds, accumulating 88 points, ranking second in the Championship with a slight disadvantage of one point, and directly qualified for the 2012/2013 Premier League season, which is also their return to the Premier League after seven years.

The current head coach of the team is Adkins, who has coached Penn City and Scanthop and achieved good results, but in the middle of coaching Southampton, he is more of a lower league, and it is still unknown what his ability will be.

Southampton's style of play is attacking and emphasizing pace on the wings. The midfielder has a certain ability to organize short passes, relying on the breakthrough on the side and the penetration into the two ribs of the opponent's penalty area, which is its main offensive means, relying on Lambert's personal ability to create killing opportunities on the front line, and the header scoring ability of the two central defenders in the set-piece is also an important means.

The disadvantage is that the gap behind the two full-backs assists forward, which is the main area used by the opponent, and the weakness of the two central defenders who turn slowly has obvious shortcomings in dealing with flexible technical flow players.

The team's core player is Lallana, a small attacking player who can play in multiple positions such as attacking midfield, wing-back and forward, with excellent ball control skills and passing ability, and is the commander of the team's attacking organization.

West Ham United, a traditional English football club located in Newham, east of London, was founded in 1895 and has won three FA Cups and one European Cup Winners' Cup in its history.

In the Championship last season, West Ham United relied on its strong strength to move forward in the Championship, with 24 wins, 14 draws and 8 losses in 46 rounds, accumulating 86 points, narrowly behind Reading and Southampton, ranking third in the Championship and qualifying for the promotion play-offs.

In the semi-finals, West Ham United faced Cardiff City, winning 3-0 and 2-0 home and away, and advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 5-0 over two legs, before winning their final Premier League qualification for the new season with a 2-1 win over Blackpool at Wembley Stadium, marking their return to the Premier League after a year.

The current manager is Sam Allardyce, who began his coaching career at Bolton Wanderers in 1999 and led the team to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and League Cup.

Perennial Premier League heritage, and has a number of Premier League veterans to press the lineup, West Ham United's style of play is more mature than the other two promoted horses, the attack and defense are relatively balanced, relatively stable, mainly using side breakthroughs and crosses to create killing opportunities, with two excellent high school forwards on the front line, and outstanding scoring ability in the penalty area.

The disadvantage is that the team's defense in the middle of the midfield is slightly weak, the protection and defensive ability at the edge of the penalty area is insufficient, and the gap behind the two full-backs is also the key area for the opponent to hit.

At present, the core player of the team is the midfielder Nolan, who has played for Newcastle, Nolan's technical ability is quite comprehensive, he can play multiple positions such as front midfield, back midfielder, fullback, etc., can shoot and pass, and at the same time has a strong ability to score goals, he is the commander of the Hammer midfield, and the core of the team's offensive and defensive conversion.

Nineteen teams, basically no team is easy to deal with, and external factors are too big, the strength of the Serie A, and Real Madrid and Barcelona two giants play the leading role in La Liga, the Premier League pattern is obviously more chaotic, basically each team in the play against another team, there is no certainty of winning, which is why in recent seasons, the Premier League can surpass Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, and firmly occupy the first league in world football.

This is also the reason why Zahavi still does not recommend Digan to come to England because English football and Italy and Spain are completely different concepts, and England's football style of play is more fast and direct, and for the technically excellent Degan, coming to England is undoubtedly a risk.

However, Deegan is adventurous, and the stronger the opponent, the more excited he becomes, and the harder the fight, the happier he is.

It sounds like a bit masochistic.

Before Degan decided to join Tottenham, he had heard that the Premier League is the most difficult football territory in the world to conquer, because no one knows what kind of unexpected situations can occur in this field.

For example, last season, the eventual champion Manchester City could beat their rivals Manchester United home and away, but they were powerless against Norwich, a weak team.

Arsenal started last season on a nine-game winning streak, but were followed by a nine-game winless run and narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification.

Chelsea were in the throes of relegation from the start of the season, but it was Roberto Di Matteo who took over and lifted the team to fifth place in the league.

While strong teams often encounter Waterloo, almost every season, a few dark horses will pop up on the high school field, turning the overall pattern of the league upside down and chaotic.

But the more this happens, the more interesting it becomes, as a player who has reached the pinnacle of world football before the age of 30, the next thing Degan has to do in his career is to enjoy football.

The reason why he chose to leave Florence in the first place, in addition to the fact that he couldn't stand Parkinva, was that Digan didn't want to be too comfortable.

If Fiorentina had stayed in the first place, perhaps there would not have been a two-season slump, and Digan and his team-mates would still dominate European football.

But in that case, it's too boring.

What people need is a challenge, but Deegan made a mistake at the beginning, and now he has moved to the Premier League, and Deegan hopes that this step will allow him to truly realize his desire to enjoy football.

Before Digan returns to the team, all he has to do is to stay by Park Ji-yeon's side and adjust his physical condition by the way, he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on his new teammates.

Degan is preparing, and the same Levy has also made contact with AZ Alkmaar as Antienes thought, asking for the Belgian national team's main left wing-back Pokolinho to make up for Tottenham's last shortcoming.

AZ Alkmaar are also not putting in the way, knowing that if a team from the top five leagues has their eye on their players, as a second-tier league in Europe, they simply will not be able to resist.

What's more, it's still Tottenham Hotspur!

Even if he is not Belgian, he knows the weight of Degan in the hearts of Belgian players, and if Degan wanted to, he could even make Hazard give up his treatment at Stamford Bridge and switch to White Hart Lane, let alone AZ Alkmaar.

After receiving a call from Digan, Pokolinho didn't even think about it, and went directly to AZ Alkmaar's club president for a showdown, expressing his desire to leave.

Seeing this, AZ Alkmaar knew that they could not keep their main left wing-back, so the next thing to do was to sell for a good price.

In terms of business, the Dutch were obviously much more generous than the French and Portuguese, and the two sides soon began to negotiate without sitting on the ground.

The deal was eventually sold for £8 million, and Poccoliño immediately put his name on a five-year, £2.5 million annual contract.

With the arrival of Pokolinho, the last shortcoming of Tottenham's squad has been strengthened, and the next thing they have to wait for is the start of the new season.

Degan, for his part, has basically recovered after two days of correction, and on this day, he came to the team's training ground for the first time, before Antienes had handed the captain's armband to Degan.

A large number of reporters and fans were waiting here at the entrance of the Tottenham training ground, and a red Ferrari off-road vehicle was seen driving over from a distance, as long as it was a person in the football circle, there was no one who did not know this car, this is an off-road vehicle specially built by the Ferrari Group for Degan, and there is only one such an car in the world.

The car was put away in the parking lot, Degan opened the door and got out of the car, and people immediately gathered around, but fortunately, Tottenham's security at the training ground was dispatched in time to avoid the tragedy of the team's number one star being trampled to death by enthusiastic reporters and fans on the first day of training.

"I can't say anything yet, if there's anything you want to know, wait until my first game is over, come back!"
