Chapter 274 News of Coming to Hong Kong
However, this topic has not been the focus for a long time. People's attention is mainly focused on two things. One is the final of the UEFA Champions League. After some fierce competition, Liverpool and AC Milan finally defeated their opponents and entered. The UEFA Champions League final, the two teams will face each other directly in the final.
This is an extremely anticipated matchup!
In 2005, the two sides in the final were Liverpool and AC Milan. In that game, Liverpool created the "Istanbul Mythical Night". With three goals behind, Liverpool only took 6 minutes to turn the situation around and finally defeated AC on penalties. Milan wins.
That has become the greatest comeback in the history of the Champions League!
Two years later, the two teams meet again on the same stage. What will be the result this time? Will Liverpool continue their glory, or will AC Milan achieve revenge and become the European champion?
All look forward to it.
Another concern is in the transfer market. As the season draws to a close, news of various transfers is coming. Every club has a lot of relevant news. There is a big move in the transfer market.
"Our striker needs speed." Manchester United coach Ferguson brought out the focus of the striker's "reform" in one sentence.
Eto'o or Michael Owen?
Judging from the current news, Irving is more likely.
Owen's contract states that once a club's bid reaches 9 million pounds, Newcastle must release him, and Ferguson, who has just had a large transfer fee, is obviously full of confidence. The "Express" article called it not to destroy the good relationship between Manchester United and Newcastle, so Ferguson plans to increase his bid to £11m, so Newcastle United will charge an extra £2m and Owen will be able to leave relatively smoothly.
The striker has been selected, and Manchester United's midfield signings are also in progress.
The acquisition of Hargreaves was blocked, and Manchester United immediately introduced a second-hand plan. According to some large media reports, Manchester United star C-Ronaldo will personally go out to persuade compatriot Deco to join Manchester United.
Six months ago, the roles of the two were opposite. At that time, Deco persuaded C-Ronaldo to join Barcelona. Now the situation in Barcelona is not good. C-Ronaldo took the opportunity to win over Deco.
With C-Ronaldo's successful rise at Manchester United and Queiroz's growing power. Portuguese players have become a favorite in the eyes of Manchester United. In addition to Deco, Nani of Sporting Lisbon and Benfica winger Simao are on the signing list of Manchester United.
As Manchester United's rivals in the same city, Manchester City won the league title for two consecutive seasons, which is naturally the focus of attention. Manchester City's achievements are gorgeous, and news is indispensable. The most significant news is the capital injection of the Manchester City club by a Thai consortium. At the same time, in signings and transfers, Manchester City has received a lot of attention.
Torres, Anelka!
One is ready to go in and the other is ready to go out. Just the names of these two players overshadowed all Manchester United transfer news.
Torres performed very well in Atlético de Madrid. He is the captain and star of Atlético de Madrid. He is also the main striker of the Spanish national team.
such a star. Enough to be called a 'superstar', his transfer is undoubtedly of great concern. At present, the closest to him are the Premier League teams - Manchester City and Liverpool. In comparison, Manchester City is more competitive.
In terms of financial resources and the attractiveness of the head coach, Manchester City has a great advantage. According to media analysis, even if there is no investment from the Thai consortium, Manchester City can easily spend more than 30 million pounds of transfer funds to invest in the transfer. In the market, what's more, judging from Manchester City's series of actions, they must be ready to sell Anelka. Anelka's worth is not lower than Torres, so Manchester City has an advantage in terms of financial resources.
In terms of head coaches, Wansheng is famous for cultivating young people, or in other words, Wansheng is famous for its ability to train players. As long as Wansheng is optimistic about players, almost all of them will have good performance.
At this point, Benitez is gone. Among the Spanish players he introduced, only Xavi Alonso has performed well, such as Luis Garcia and Josemi. How much light shines in the Premier League.
So Manchester City is more attractive than Liverpool in terms of financial resources and coaches.
However, in terms of the club's attractiveness, Liverpool, as a century-old aristocrat, is definitely more attractive.
Of course, these need to be considered by Torres himself.
Another major transfer news from Manchester City is the above-mentioned news that they are ready to sell Anelka. Although the Manchester City club has not clearly stated that they want to sell the leading striker, they can have an 'ambiguous relationship' with Anelka from various clubs. Anelka's agent brother, constantly wandering between major clubs, and Manchester City did not stand up to say anything, that is to say, Anelka is basically certain to leave.
Before the season is over, they are ready to sell the leading striker, which makes many media incomprehensible. What's more, after two seasons, Manchester City's economic situation has also improved, and they seem to be not short of money.
But considering Wansheng's 'old' style, it's not surprising at all.
The season he coached Derby County into the Premier League, Derby County sold Cahill. Cahill played for Manchester City for one season and was the top scorer in League One at that time. As a result, when Derby County entered the Premier League, Cahill He left Derby County for Everton.
Last season, Manchester City sold captain Distin after winning the title.
In the last season, Distin performed quite well. He is a heavyweight pillar in the backcourt of Manchester City and a leader of Manchester City. Especially due to various reasons such as age, Distin is strong and not worth a lot, but Manchester City Or choose to sell Distin.
Many media and fans do not understand this. Some people think that Manchester City chose to sell Distin in order to 'pave the way' for other players. Facts have proved that this is quite successful - his captaincy was replaced by Morris, Mo Reese became the spiritual leader of the team, the core and key player of the team. His departure also made Koppelle Ferreira officially selected as a player, and he had a very strong performance on the field. With Dunn's partner, he became the most stable central defender combination in the Premier League last season.
Distin's departure was surprising, but it turned out well, so now that Anelka is leaving, there are very few voices against it.
The media and fans can refer to Distin's departure and make some judgments - one is that Manchester City is trying to introduce Atlético de Madrid star Torres. If Torres can join Manchester City, there will definitely be players who will let you go. It is difficult for this player to give way. Darren Bent, because Darren Bent is still very young, everyone knows that he will be a pillar-level striker in the future, and he will also become the future of the England team, so Anelka can only give way.
Although Anelka is the Premier League's top scorer this season, so what? Manchester City is not short of players who can score goals, what's more, Anelka is so valuable, and his departure is also in line with Manchester City's past transfer strategy.
On the contrary, the media expects how much Anelka can sell. This will undoubtedly be a very heavyweight transfer, and Anelka may directly become the standard king of the transfer market this summer.
In the heat of the media, Manchester City is still training in an orderly manner.
They have two games left, a league game against Tottenham 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, while the match with Chelsea is related to the ownership of the FA Cup championship. Not like other teams, there is an atmosphere about to have a holiday, and the atmosphere in the team is also very serious.
The players trained consciously and seriously, and Wansheng also asked the entire team to forget about the upcoming holiday and devote themselves to intense preparations.
At this time, Wan Sheng received a message that Kevin Tagore called and told 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 the Asian Cup in July."
"...??"
Wan Sheng was a little at a loss.
In my impression, the strength of the Hong Kong team is not very good. It should not have qualified in the Asian Cup qualifiers. Even if they 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.
This year's Asian Cup qualifiers, China's Hong Kong team was also very unexpected. Their results in the Asian Cup qualifiers were passable. They were divided into the same group as the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Yemen, and Singapore. In the end, the head coach Under the leadership of Li Xinxiang, the Chinese Hong Kong team achieved the second place in the group.
Although it is the second place in the group, since this Asian Cup is jointly held by four countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, the four countries occupy four places first, so the second group needs to compete with other groups. The competition for places can only appear. In the end, the Hong Kong team of China still lost in the Asian Cup qualifiers.
Afterwards, Li Xinxiang, the head coach of the "Father of Hong Kong Football Youth Training", also resigned from the position of head coach due to physical reasons.
It was like this, but the Syrian political and military crisis broke out in April. The domestic reactionary forces and the regular army allied with the regular army. As a result, the Syrian national team decided to withdraw from the Asian Cup finals.
Then, the Chinese Hong Kong team replaced Syria and entered the Asian Cup finals by luck.
This was originally good news, but head coach Li Xinxiang is still in hospital and cannot lead the team to train again. The Hong Kong Football Association will find a new head coach who can lead the team to the Asian Cup. (To be continued ~^~)
