Nine Hundred and Sixtieth IX There Is No Way

Yang Huan didn't know that Manchester United was determined to poach his own corner, and he was not interested in knowing.

After announcing Messi's joining, he dealt with some aftermath in Southampton before returning to China for vacation.

Once this person has been working for a long time, even if it is a machine, he has to stop to change the oil and clean the oil circuit, right?

It was not until the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes made a bloody and tearful phone call that brought Master Huan back into the vortex of European football.

There is no way, as a secular person, how can you ignore the worldly affairs?

Jorge Mendes' cry was not completely unreasonable. He ran to seduce Barcelona so hard, begged his grandpa to sue his grandma, and finally persuaded Barcelona to pay 35 million euros and decided to buy the Argentine Chinese in Monaco. Field Biglia.

But in the end, Nimi, the CEO of Monaco, Michael Bolingbroke, had already reached an agreement with Manchester United to sell Biglia to Old Trafford for 45 million euros.

Doesn't this make all the efforts Jorge Mendes has made before all in vain?

Yang Huan couldn't do anything about it, he could only comfort him with kind words, and promised to find Mendes for any big business.

The Portuguese was also purely just to ask for a favor in front of Master Huan, and he accepted it as soon as it was good, and readily agreed.

Yang Huan sighed, shaking his head and smiling secretly.

Michael Bolingbroke is making money for himself, earning an extra fifteen million euros for no reason, isn't he happy? Such a good subordinate is hard to find even with a lantern!

After hanging up on Mendes' phone call, Yang Huan also felt that his vacation was almost over, so he set off for the United States.

This summer, a very important reason why Southampton arranged for a training camp in China was the Premier League carnival held by WeChat video, which included Southampton's championship trophy exhibition.

As the European overlord who has won three consecutive Premier League titles and two consecutive Champions League titles, coupled with the background of Chinese investors, the Saints have quickly become the most popular European giants among domestic fans in recent years.

Under Miracle Media's lead, Southampton's first warm-up match after the summer training camp was arranged in Longhai, China. The opponent was Tottenham Hotspur, which had just introduced Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. .

This game has aroused great repercussions in the country.

It can be said that the whole country is paying attention.

Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo, such a gimmick is absolutely fascinating.

However, it is very regrettable that Cristiano Ronaldo played the whole game in this warm-up match, but Messi only played half of the game, and then was replaced by Sanchez.

But even so, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and Messi scored one.

In the end, Southampton defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 and won the first victory of the warm-up match.

This peak duel between the Premier League powerhouses and the world's top superstars quickly detonated the entire summer warm-up match.

After playing this game, Southampton went to the United States, and the games in the two major regions of the International Champions Cup also played hotly.

The Saints have once again proved their strong appeal in North America.

Southampton's first International Champions Cup game in North America was arranged at CenturyLink Field in Seattle on the west coast.

This is the home stadium of the Seattle Seahawks, with a capacity of 67,000 people, but more than 70,000 fans poured into this game.

As a result, under the witness of the fans at the scene, the Saints defeated Manchester City 3-1 without any risk.

Although Manchester City's two new aids, Abu Bakar and De Bruyne, both started the game, and Messi, who was introduced by Southampton for 150 million euros, did not even make the squad, the Saints still played with full dominance. The performance of strength proved his own strength.

Judging from the two games against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, the media is quite satisfied with Ancelotti's coaching.

The Italian coach has basically inherited Bielsa's tactical system and has not changed much overall.

Even, in terms of formation, it basically followed Bielsa's main force last season.

Neuer in goal, Luke Shaw, Laporte, Varane and Chambers in defense, Toni Kroos in midfield, Pogba and Cesc Fabregas up front, trident It is Hazard, Suarez and Sanchez.

The superstar Messi only played half of the Premier League match in Longhai, and he didn't even make the squad for the International Champions Cup match against Manchester City.

It's not that Messi is injured, but because of the advice given by the team doctors after a detailed examination of Messi's body.

For several players participating in the America's Cup this summer, such as Danilo, Oscar and Di Maria, Southampton has given extended vacation treatment to allow them to take a good rest.

Although Messi was stimulated by the Copa America and was unwilling to continue his vacation, the team doctors were unwilling to allow him to participate in high-intensity training and competitions prematurely, but formulated a targeted recovery training plan for him.

This is also a no-brainer.

You know, Messi has been overused in the past few years, especially the last two years, and his body is already quite tired. It can even be said that if he does not adjust and recover properly, Messi will be injured next time constantly.

Therefore, for protection, Southampton will not arrange Messi to participate in the game prematurely.

After defeating Manchester City in the first game, the Saints continued to go south along the west coast, and soon defeated Juventus 3-0 and Bayern Munich 2-1, winning three consecutive victories in the International Champions Cup group stage.

After that, in the knockout round of the semi-finals, the Saints defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 and successfully reached the final.

This time, the final was scheduled to be held in New York, and the two sides were Southampton and Real Madrid.

Ancelotti reunited with his old club, but he didn't show any mercy. Taking advantage of Benitez's team not yet completed, he defeated Real Madrid 4-0 cleanly and won the North American Division of the International Champions Cup. champion.

Suarez was elected as the top scorer in North America with six goals in five games.

But surprisingly, it was Saints midfielder Paul Pogba who was elected the best player.

After Di Maria's return to the team was delayed due to the Copa America, Pogba served as the team's midfielder. As a result, the French midfielder surprisingly scored four goals and five assists in five games.

Especially in the final, Pogba shot two passes and was elected as the best player in the final.

This also made everyone feel the Saints' strong bench strength, and at the same time made people full of curiosity about Southampton's formation in the new season. With such an outstanding performance of Pogba, he is definitely worthy of a main position.

However, Di Maria's performance last season was equally impressive. Who should start?

Others believe that Fabregas, who performed mediocre in the International Champions Cup, should be won and replaced by Pogba to partner Di Maria.

What is also expected is the combination of the trident in the frontcourt.

Perhaps stimulated by Messi's joining, Sanchez performed quite vigorously in the International Champions Cup, with a great determination and courage to defend his main position even in the face of Messi.

In the case that Messi will definitely occupy one of the positions, who Ancelotti will win has also become a big suspense.

Atletico Madrid, also in the North American Division, took third place.

Simeone's team has only one signing this season, and that is the introduction of Brazilian player Willian from Tottenham Hotspur.

But for the Sheets, it's more like strengthening the bench.

However, judging from the performance in the International Champions Cup, the four midfielders of Isco, Krijowiak, Iliaramendi and Cork performed very steadily, and their overall strength was stable compared to last season. improved.

The North American Division is full of excitement, and the Asian Division is equally exciting.

In particular, Inter Milan, which introduced strong midfielder Pjanic, won five consecutive victories in one go, defeated Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and other giants, and won the Asian championship.

Klopp's formation is not too surprising. The defense line basically continues the configuration of last season, and the main change is in the midfield.

Pjanic plays the role of midfield organizer. He has partnered with Khedira and Nainggolan successively, and the results are very good.

In the front midfielder position, Dybala undoubtedly suppressed Jovetic and took the lead in the starting lineup.

On the front line, Aubameyang is the main force, with Felipe Anderson on the left and Cuadrado on the right.

Inter Milan's striker combination is full of offensive power. In the five games of the International Champions Cup, they scored 15 goals, which is quite vigorous, and the defense is also very solid, conceding only 3 goals.

This also makes people full of expectations for the performance of Klopp's team in the new season.

On the contrary, Monaco, which shined last season, was eliminated in the group stage this season.

Koeman's team ushered in a round of metabolism after sending away players such as Biglia, Toulalang and Capoue.

The entry of Schneiderlin, Sanson and Wanyama has made the competition in the midfield very fierce.

Koeman tried many different combinations successively, but the results were not very satisfactory.

Judging from the performance of the International Champions Cup, Koeman still has a long way to go if Monaco wants to continue the outstanding performance of last season.

However, on the front line, although the newly joined Hernandez has just arrived, he has shown an aggressive spirit from the very beginning, and he is very likely to compete with Mitrovic for the number one striker. The performance also counterpressed World of Warcraft II.

Due to the recent lack of plans to expand the International Champions Cup and the shortage of places, teams such as Hamburg and Ajax were unable to participate in the International Champions Cup, but they all participated in the North American Challenge and Asian Invitational Tournament organized by Miracle Media .

Worth mentioning is the burger.

Under the strong recommendation of Tuchel, Hamburg signed the German midfielder Gass from Mainz this summer, and at the same time spent 30 million euros to introduce Gotze from Bayern Munich. Formed the Hamburg team's midfield lineup for the new season.

On the back line, Ginter replaced Dick Maier at right back, Dante and Emre Can formed a center back combination, left back was Kolasinac, plus goalkeeper Oblak, Hamburg's lineup also It can be said that people are strong and horses are strong.

Judging from the performance of the warm-up match, Tuchel's team is also worth looking forward to.

At least, with the current cards of the Hamburg team, the possibility of competing for the league championship is still relatively small, but there should be no problems in retaining the qualification for the Champions League.

This is also in line with Yang Huan's positioning of the Hamburg team.

At least in the next two or three years, the Hamburg team will accumulate more.

It may not be a good thing for Hamburg to fight for the championship with Bayern Munich too early.

Of course, the Hamburg team will not set the goal of competing for the championship, but if there is an opportunity, it will definitely go for it.

After all, the North Kings of the Bundesliga haven't seen a championship trophy for decades. If they can win one and stimulate the fans, that would definitely be a good thing.

As soon as the International Champions Cup came to an end, the time entered August.

Southampton returned to the UK from the United States to start preparing for the Community Shield against Arsenal.

And Yang Huan also ushered in a major event.

That is the Premier League Chairman's Summit once every March.

This time, it was obviously different from usual.
