The Premier League season of 0708 is destined to be very cruel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since this season, the Premier League's TV broadcast fees have more than tripled, which has also made the Premier League top 20 more financially abundant, with all the giants recruiting and buying, and the midstream teams preparing to attack the European competition, and the teams above the midstream will begin to covet the Premier League title, and the downstream teams will also increase their strength, which will add great difficulty to Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams that aspire to win the championship.

Manchester United is the Premier League's biggest club in the transfer market.

Annoyed Ferguson and Manchester United last season by a whopping 17 points ahead of Liverpool, and this season they have taken the transfer market by storm, with the Lord spending €71 million in a single day to bring in Nani, Anderson and United's long-awaited Bayern Munich striker Hargreaves.

And in the past two days, the transfer of Tevez, which has been boiling for a summer, has finally come to light, and the Argentine Tomahawk has finally fallen to Manchester United, and now Manchester United's attacking combination is really super luxurious.

There are certainly a number of reasons why Chelsea, who have been in the transfer market for a few years ago, have finally stopped playing a leading role in the transfer market this season. On the one hand, Abu began to tighten the monetary base, no longer as in previous years to keep a lot of money, on the other hand, after the exploration and accumulation of the commemoration, the current Chelsea club has become mature and rational in the transfer policy, the more important and fundamental reason is that after several years of buying, selling and accumulation, the current Chelsea squad has become mature and stable, and there is really no need to make major changes. But even so, Chelsea have made a big splash this summer, with the only players they have spent heavily on this year are Ligue 1 winners Lyon's winger Malouda, but the few players they have brought in for free have been well worth the money. Ben Haim, Pizarro, Sidwell, and the return of Brazilian centre-back Alex have solved the three major criticisms of the Blues' five substitutes in the front line, the unfavorable wingers and the lack of depth at the back last year, and they have reached a higher level in overall strength, and remain the strongest contenders for the Premier League title next year.

Arsenal, which has always been running a small business, has a dismal transfer this summer, and it has completely lost the momentum of a giant. In terms of the quality and investment of imported players, not only can they not compete with Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, but even medium-sized clubs such as Tottenham and Newcastle are much better than Arsenal. Throughout the summer, the Gunners were in a state of turmoil, with Dane's departure triggering a series of sequelae, with manager Arsene Wenger barely staying, while the real ace Thierry Henry sadly went to Barcelona, and veterans such as Ljungberg and Arriadiere also left.

In terms of introduction, there are only two big orders for Sagna and Da Silva, and these players are too poor in terms of strength and fame compared to Tevez, Hargreaves, and Malouda. Even Gunners fans have to admit that the current Arsenal, especially with the departure of Thierry Henry, has lost too much of their appeal and attraction to excellent players, and it is already a high incense to be able to keep the top four positions this season, and fans no longer have extravagant hopes for the championship trophy.

The Premier League title race will undoubtedly be between Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, but the dark horse that spoils the game emerges every year.

After Hong Kong businessman Yeung Ka-shing officially took over the Birmingham City club, nine of the 20 teams in the Premier League this season will be controlled by foreign investors.

Needless to say, Chelsea are Manchester City, Aston Villa, Portsmouth, Liverpool, West Ham United, Fulham, Liverpool and Arsenal.

These eight teams, in addition to the giants Liverpool and Arsenal, can affect the championship is Thai Prime Minister Thaksin's Manchestin City, Russian-controlled Portsmouth and Aston Villa.

They are also dark horses in the eyes of the media, in fact, in the field of competitive football dominated by Jin Yuan, money has become one of the main factors determining the team's results, just like Chelsea, without Abramovich's ruble, they cannot quickly become the favorites to win the championship, like Manchester City, Aston Villa and Portsmouth, these teams have relatively strong funds behind other clubs, and it is reasonable to become dark horses.

In addition to being rich and cruel this season, the Premier League has a little more Chinese elements than before.

Due to the complex and long-standing relationship between China and the United Kingdom, there are more Chinese players in the Premier League than in other European leagues.

In the 2006-07 season in Europe, Chinese players finally ushered in a peak again after many years, Chen Yu led Liverpool to win the great double, Shao Jiayi repeatedly played brilliantly in the Bundesliga, Sun Xiang logged in the European Champions Cup, Yu Dabao, Yu Hai and other players opened up a new path in the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League.

This season, with Zheng Zhi joining Charlton Athletic, Dong Fangzhuo returning to Manchester United, following the comeback of Hai and Li Tie, Chen Yu continued to stay at Liverpool, and Hong Kong businessman Yang Jiacheng entered Birmingham, the Premier League Chinese will also reach another peak, so that the Premier League has added Chinese colors to the relegation, championship, or Champions League seats.

Especially Chen Yu, because last season was not a big year, Chen Yu won the Champions League and the Premier League double, he surpassed Ronaldinho, Kaka, Shevchenko and others to win the World Footballer and European Footballer is very likely, if Chen Yu can be elected, then he will also become the first World Footballer in the Premier League, which undoubtedly makes Chen Yu the first star and banner figure of the Premier League, so whether it is before the start of the season, or during the holidays, Chen Yudu has always been one of the main stars used by the media to attract the attention of fans.

Whether it is the most influential veteran rated by the English media, or the most potential superstar, or the top ten high-paid stars, or even the top ten villains, Chen Yu occupies a place, which is enough to show Chen Yu's unique and important position in the Premier League.

The start time of the Premier League has been a little earlier than other leagues, and because there is no winter break, the schedule has become a matter of great concern to the major teams, although each team has to play with the remaining opponents, but the strong teams have to play a lot of games, with their strength, all kinds of champions do not want to let go, if the schedule is dense when the team meets the strong team in a row, may suffer a series of defeats, which has a great impact on morale.

Manchester United and Chelsea have both had a well-rounded schedule. In the first three rounds, there are three matches in a week, and both teams are one home and two away, and in the sixth round of the league, the two teams will collide directly. Similar to last season, the two teams will also face each other head-to-head at Stamford Bridge in the penultimate round of the league, which could ultimately determine the title.

Arsenal had the worst record compared to other giants last season and are also in the most disadvantageous position in this fixture schedule. They are the only team to face the giants in a row, and in the 11th and 12th rounds of the first half of the season at the end of October, they will play Manchester United and Liverpool away in succession; In the second half of the season, they were even worse, from the 31st round from March 22 to the 34th round on April 12, they had to play against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United in succession, with a consistent nemesis Bolton in between. The results of these two devils' fixtures will directly determine Arsenal's fate in the Premier League next season. With the end of October being the crucial final round of the Champions League group stage and the quarter-finals at the beginning of April, the schedule is truly terrifying, and the Gunners will lose two titles in a row as they did last season.

In terms of the schedule of the big four, the most favorable schedule is Liverpool. Their schedules are evenly distributed between the strong and weak teams. And Liverpool has a very good advantage, that is, in the first half of the season, Liverpool and the other three giants played all at home, Liverpool can use this advantage to snipe the opponent with all their might, and get enough points in the first half of the season, so that in the second half of the Champions League when the game is tight, Liverpool can have a choice.

Although the overall schedule is good, the start of the new season will be difficult for Liverpool. Compared to the other big three, Liverpool's first three opponents were the excellent Aston Villa, the difficult Axe Gang West Ham United, and their old title rivals Chelsea.

A good start is half the battle, if you can get off to a good start and win three in a row, Liverpool's next game will definitely be smooth, but the start is not easy for any team, especially the giant teams, the players played more games last season, just finished the holiday, it is difficult to fully recover, and the energy can not be fully concentrated, and the upset is often at this time. And Benitez's Liverpool has not won the first round of the league, whether the opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, or Sheffield United, which was finally relegated, Benitez has not won three points since coming to Liverpool, which is also a fate for a giant like Liverpool.

In terms of strength, Aston Villa is very good, last season once won eight in a row, although only ranked 11th, that is because the team has just been bought by the American owner Lerner, the coach is also a new appoint, from this point of view, Aston Villa to achieve 11th place is already very good, this season they are low-key and pragmatic in the transfer market, but with the head coach Martin. O'Neal's ability to strategize, and Aston Villa's results will certainly continue to climb.

However, if Benitez is entitled to choose an opener, Aston Villa could be his best bet as the team have not won at home to Liverpool in nine years. Benitez will surely hope to use his opponent's fate to break the cycle that has plagued him for three years. To this end, Liverpool has also put all their energy into the opening game of the new season.

Manager Rafael Benitez did not take any rest after winning the Carabao Cup and began to prepare for Aston Villa, and has indicated that they will prepare for the game against Aston Villa as they did against Manchester United and Chelsea, and the intention to take all three points is very clear.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also said: "We have to give Benitez and the Liverpool fans a win for the new season, it's unthinkable not to get off to a good start for four seasons in a row. ”

Liverpool's ace scorer Chen Yu also thinks it's time to break this embarrassing record, and Aston Villa is the best chance, and the top scorer last season also said he will fight for the defending top scorer this season, extending his top scorer record in the top flight to four.
