Alonso and Real Madrid

When Xabi Alonso took over the coaching position at Real Madrid, the glory and intrigues that had been intertwined for fifteen years hovered over the Bernabeu.

The 43-year-old tactical master wrote a legend here as a player and made a comeback as a coach, stepping precisely on the pulse of the power transition at Real Madrid with every step.

From 2009 to 2014, Alonso played 236 games in the white shirt, won the Champions League, La Liga and two Copa del Rey titles, which are enough to make any player go down in history.

What's more cruel is that he was willing to stay in Real Madrid's youth training camp for a year, calling it "career planning", but in fact it was a move on the power chessboard in advance - the first-team coach's throne was his prey.

Alonso's most powerful skill is his "political survival skills".

He bid farewell to the Bernabeu twice, once as a player, defected to Bayern, and once as a coach to Real Sociedad, but he always made Real Madrid President Florentino Perez look at him differently.

This ability to be at ease in the center of the vortex is a "rare species" in the football world.

This thorough understanding of Real Madrid inside and out became his "password" to become Real Madrid's head coach.

In mid-June, the battle of the Club World Cup in the United States was the "mission" he had to win as a new official.

But to understand this power game, we have to go back to that crazy summer.

In 2009, Perez took power for the second time and spent 35 million euros to dig Alonso from Liverpool.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Kaka, who joined at the same time, formed the "Galactico II" and aimed directly at their arch-rival Barcelona.

In April 2011, under Jose Mourinho's iron-blooded tactics, Alonso sat in the midfield and led the team to overturn Barcelona in the King's Cup final.

The following year, Real Madrid topped the La Liga with a record 100 points and 121 goals.

However, Mourinho's radical style has plunged Real Madrid into a whirlpool of public opinion: he scolded the referee, scolded UEFA, and even poked the eyes of Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova in the national derby.

The locker room bosses Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos led the "rebellion", but Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa were like Mourinho's "death warriors", standing firm in the center of the storm.

"Following Mourinho, I dug the first pot of gold in coaching." When the conflict intensified in 2012, Alonso openly supported him, saying "The devil's details are hidden under his violent temper", which fully expressed his philosophy of survival in the workplace.

After Mourinho left, Carlo Ancelotti brought a management style that was gentle and caring, and Alonso was still the mainstay of the midfield.

In the 2014 Champions League final, although he was suspended and watched from the sidelines, he ran wildly on the sidelines in a suit and tie to celebrate Gareth Bale's lore - Real Madrid won the tenth championship, and he knew better than anyone what this trophy meant to him.

Who could have expected that Alonso, who had just renewed his contract, would turn around and join Guardiola's Bayern.

His farewell declaration of "leaving is the hardest decision" is still ringing in my ears, but he used his actions to stage a real-life "betrayal", which made Perez say he couldn't understand it.

After retiring, Alonso returned to Real Madrid's youth training camp and led the U14 team to a terrifying record of 22 wins and 1 tie in 23 games.

Just when everyone thought he would take over the U18 team, he chose to return to Real Sociedad B team.

This move of "retreating to advance" is a brilliant move - honing coaching skills in small leagues, accumulating human resources, and lying dormant for several years just to wait for the call from the Bernabeu.

In Leverkusen, Alonso ushered in the highlight of his coaching career.

He led the team to win the championship without losing and reached the Europa League final, instantly becoming a "hot commodity" in European football.

Bayern and Liverpool threw olive branches, but he did not respond.

Because he knew in his heart that only the position of Real Madrid coach was worthy of his ambition.

Over the years, Alonso's "scheming" has been everywhere: after transferring to Bayern, he praised Manuel Neuer and belittled Casillas; he colluded with an agency with close ties to Real Madrid in Germany; in 2019, there were even rumors of a "second return" with Mourinho. But the amazing thing is that these "little thoughts" not only did not make him fall out of favor, but instead made Perez see the wisdom of his "indirect loyalty".

Now back at the Bernabeu, Alonso is surrounded by his own people: Dani Carvajal, Luka Modric and other old comrades are still there.

David Alaba, his partner during the Bayern period, is also in the team; Jacobo Ramon, the young player he coached seven years ago, has joined the first team; even Sebastian Parrilla, his former youth training assistant, is also there.

However, the position of Real Madrid coach is the most difficult position in the world.

The lessons of Rafa Benitez and Julen Lopetegui are still fresh in our minds. They fell under the media's criticism and the undercurrents in the locker room.

캡토토 gives the answer. If Alonso wants to gain a firm foothold, he must learn to find a third way between Mourinho's sharpness and Ancelotti's smoothness.

"The most terrifying thing about him is that he always knows when to hold back and when to let go," said an industry insider. This insight helped him reach the pinnacle of his career.

Now coaching Real Madrid, he not only wants to prove his tactical ability, but also wants to use victory to declare to the world: Xabi Alonso is the destined "savior" of the Bernabeu.

This was a life-and-death battle for promotion to the Premier League worth 220 million pounds. The 19-year-old Tom Watson scored a winning goal in his farewell match to help Sunderland, which had experienced an eight-year slump, return to the Premier League. This young team, with an average age of only 23.4 years old, wrote a miracle with their feet.

This season's Championship League is enough to go down in history. Two teams with 100 points were born in the standings. Leeds United beat Burnley to win the championship with the advantage of goal difference, and the two teams entered the Premier League together.

The competition for the remaining spot is even more intense. Compared with the mutual concessions in the German Second Division, Hamburg has not forgiven the Bundesliga for seven years. The temptation of the Premier League is too great. Luton has experienced two consecutive relegations from the Premier League to English League One and is also worth a look.

According to the new Premier League broadcasting share, the team ranked last will also receive a share of 220 million pounds.

From the perspective of economic benefits, this is a match worth 220 million pounds, which is full of gold content, and the benefits obtained are even greater than the Champions League final.

In the early morning of May 25th, Tokyo time, Sunderland and Sheffield United staged the final showdown at Wembley Stadium. Both teams used red and white striped shirts as the main colors. Sheffield United has been a regular in the Premier League in recent years, while Sunderland has experienced the lowest point. Since being relegated from the Premier League 8 years ago, they have encountered financial crises, relegation to the English League One, and player loss, but the only constant among countless variables is the support of local fans.

For this reason, the documentary "Sunderland 'Til I Die" was born. Inspired by this documentary, Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds and star producer Mike Henry bought Wrexham, a team in the English National League at the time, and made a documentary "Welcome to Wrexham". Now they have been promoted to the English Championship, and Sunderland has realized its dream of entering the Premier League.

A Hollywood drama is being staged on the football field.

The process of this play-off can be described as ups and downs. Sunderland was founded in 1879 and Sheffield United was founded in 1889. The history of the two teams combined is 282 years, which is older than the teams in the Champions League final, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.

The two teams are very close in terms of ranking and value, plus the temptation of 200 million profit share, this is destined to be a fierce and difficult game. In the 25th minute, Sheffield United scored a goal by Campbell. Sunderland did not equalize the score until the 75th minute. Mayanda equalized the score with a powerful shot.

The two teams then fell into a stalemate and the game had to go into overtime. In the 95th minute, Sunderland's Tom Watson killed the game. The 19-year-old young player had only scored three goals in the entire professional league, including this priceless goal.

This game was also his farewell match. In April, Brighton officially announced that they had signed Watson for 10 million pounds, which means that Watson earned 230 million pounds for Sunderland in this month.

When the final whistle sounded, the entire Wembley Stadium was in a frenzy. The Black Cats Sunderland returned to the Premier League after 8 years of lows. This young team quietly ushered in a revival.

The core of the team is Job Bellingham, who is only 20 years old. He has an older brother who is the core midfielder of Real Madrid, and his younger brother led the team to promotion. Bellingham has failed to win any of the four major titles in Real Madrid this season. Both of them have bright futures.

Jobe was elected the best young player of the season in the Championship and was also shortlisted for the Championship's best team. Jobe's midfield partner is Chris Rigg, who is only 17 years old. The oldest player in the team's main lineup is 30-year-old central defender O'Nien.

The average age of the team is only 23.4 years old. The team's salary ranks fifth from the bottom in the Championship, but they relied on their fighting spirit to fight their way out of the play-offs where the giants were rampant. After the game, O'Nien cried and said: "These young people wrote miracles with their feet. We deserve a place in the Premier League."

Sunderland, with limited financial resources, may not dare to increase investment even if they have a guaranteed income of 200 million pounds. They don't want to repeat Luton's mistakes. Club chairman David Jones once said: "We want to become a beacon of football in the northeast of England. In the next three years, the investment in youth training will double. The goal is to cultivate the next Jordan Henderson."

With the growth of Jobe, Reece and others, this goal seems not far away. The team's top priority next season is to avoid relegation, but these young people are also coveted by various powerful teams. Can Jobe and Reece be retained?

Can the players trained by the youth training system quickly compete in the Premier League?

cab도메인 Analysis These are the real problems facing Sunderland, but compared with 200 million pounds, these are nothing. It's time to show everyone's identity as Sunderland fans for 30 years.

Just after the 38th round of La Liga, he officially bid farewell to the Bernabeu Stadium and received tributes from fans and opponents.

His departure not only marked the end of an era, but also moved countless fans to this "midfield artist" who was both elegant and tenacious.

This young man born in Croatia has become one of the world's top midfielders step by step. Modric's time at Real Madrid is filled with countless highlights and glory. Follow 캡사이트's perspective to review his thirteen-year career at Real Madrid!

From challenge to legend

In 2012, Modric joined Real Madrid from Tottenham for 35 million euros. At that time, he was questioned whether he could adapt to the rhythm of La Liga due to his thin body.

However, he quickly conquered the Bernabeu with his accurate passing, excellent control and tireless running.

In 2014, he formed the world-famous "bermuda triangle" with Kroos and Casemiro, opening the golden age of Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League titles (2016-2018), becoming the most dominant midfield combination in football history.

In the 13 years he played for Galactico, Modric won 28 trophies with the club (6 Champions League titles, 4 La Liga titles, 5 Club World Cup titles, 5 European Super Cup titles, 5 Spanish Super Cup titles, 2 King's Cup titles, 1 FIFA Intercontinental Cup title).

He is one of only five people who have won the Champions League six times, and is also the player with the most titles in Real Madrid's history.

Personal honors include winning the Ballon d'Or, FIFA Player of the Year, and UEFA Player of the Year in 2018, breaking the ten-year monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo; being selected into the FIFA Best Team 6 times and the Champions League Best Midfielder 2 times.

So far, he has played 590 games for Real Madrid, contributing 43 goals and 95 assists, and has gone down in history as the "midfield brain".

Humility and loyalty

Even at the age of nearly 40, Modric still maintains top competitive form.

In the 2024-25 season, he played 56 times as a rotation player, contributed 4 goals and 9 assists, and even became a "full-time warrior" in the team's injury wave.

He took the initiative to reduce his salary and renew his contract many times, and rejected the sky-high contract of the Saudi League, just to spend the rest of his life in Real Madrid.

However, due to the youth strategy, the club did not respond to his renewal request in the end, but Modric will still play in this summer's World Club Champions Cup and have the opportunity to end his career with the championship honor.

The journey ahead - the warriors never end

Modric has not chosen to retire. He still has the opportunity to captain Croatia in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and continue his national team record of 186 appearances (the first in history).

Although Saudi Arabia, MLS and other leagues have offered olive branches, he said: "The next stop in my football career has not yet been decided, but the memory of Madrid will never fade."

Real Madrid officials also said that they will keep in touch with him as an ambassador in the future.

With Casemiro leaving the team in 2022 and Kroos retiring in 2024, Modric's farewell announces the end of the legendary era of Real Madrid's "bermuda triangle".

Modric not only defines success with trophies, but also reshapes the benchmark of modern midfield with humility, loyalty and artistic football".

His departure is an inevitable choice for Real Madrid's renewal, but it also leaves a timeless legend of persistence and love for football.

Modric's legend began with talent, was built with tenacity, and ended with respect.

When the lights of the Bernabeu were lit for him for the last time, the No. 10 jersey stained with mud will become the most moving poem in football history.

At the same time, PSG also gave the green light to approve the transfer without any objection. After all, they can also receive a refund of nearly 100 million euros, which is of great benefit to lifting financial fairness restrictions and continuing to cooperate with Mbappe. Nasser is happy this time.

According to the new news, Neymar's annual salary for joining Al-Hilal is 100 million euros after tax, and he will sign a contract for two years. It can be said that it is such a huge salary that attracted the Brazilian superstar to join him. He no longer has dreams in Europe and has begun to come to Saudi Arabia to formally seek gold.

The 31-year-old Neymar plays as a left winger. Since his debut at Santos Club in Brazil, he has played in Barcelona for four seasons and won many championships with the team. The MSN combination built with Messi and Suarez is also famous all over the world. At that time, he was the main candidate for the third pole of the World Greenery Competition, and he was after Messi and Ronaldo.

However, in the summer of 2017, Neymar left Barcelona and moved to Paris Saint-Germain. Breaking the world football transfer value record at that time was also something the world did not expect. In 173 games played by Paris Saint-Germain, he scored 118 goals and sent 77 assists. The overall performance is still very good.

Originally, the contract between Neymar and Paris would expire in two years, but due to the sky-high price offered by Saudi Arabia, he chose to leave the main stage in Europe and go to the Middle East. After Neymar joined Al-Hilal, this team has gathered five European football stars including Neymar, Milinkovic-Savic, Ruben Neves, Malcolm and Coulibaly. Top star. And these five players are all at their peak.

It can be said that even if their technical and tactical level is placed in Europe, they can still compete with strong teams. This combination is indeed too good. In terms of the predicted value of the transfer market alone, the combination of these five players exceeds 200 million euros, which is higher than the total value of many small and medium-sized clubs in the five major leagues. This shows how "extreme" the attributes of the Saudis are.

Lost to Al-Nassr led by Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League in the Arab region, 캡주소 believes that the owner of Al-Hilal was angry, and then he signed the story of PSG Neymar. The arms race has indeed begun.

Or in the long run, Liverpool missed last summer's Joan Armeni, this summer's Bellingham, plus the Caicedo & Lavia incident, the team's attractiveness and signings plan in the market His credibility was almost lost under repeated blows, and the contest with Real Madrid and Chelsea was declared a failure.

What is even more embarrassing is that the current Liverpool is like a headless chicken in the transfer market. After losing Caicedo and about to lose Lavia, Liverpool urgently needs to come up with a new team that can reverse the situation. program, but so far, people haven't seen this.

Interest in Eindhoven midfielder Sangaray has recently been re-mentioned. The main contenders are Nottingham Forest. According to CAB주소, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in him, but no offers have been made.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from the fact that Caicedo and Lavia have not been tested by the Premier League, according to reports, there is a liquidated damages clause of 37.5 million euros (32 million pounds) in Sangaray's contract. Even if he is finally dealt with, Liverpool will inevitably leave people with the impression that they can only sign players with liquidated damages.

What's more, you can even imagine such a suffocating scene. Liverpool paid Sangaray's liquidated damages to beat Nottingham Forest, Eindhoven agreed to transfer, and the player himself claimed that he only wanted to join Bayern, or only Join PSG.

It is worth mentioning that Sangaray has also received strong attention from Manchester United before, but Manchester United has locked in Amrabat, who Liverpool had previously wanted, in this position.

Other midfield targets remain unchanged from before the Caicedo & Lavia incident broke out. There is a liquidated damages in Andre’s contract. The team’s intention is to hit the Copa Libertadores. Therefore, the most reasonable transfer time for players is the winter window. What's more, the adaptation period of a Brazilian player in Europe also needs to be counted. Crystal Palace midfielder Ducure and Fulham midfielder Palinha do not require an adaptation period, but the asking prices of the two clubs are more expensive than the other.

What's more, some media and fans' voices suggested that Liverpool buy Joan Armeni to enrich the No. 6 position. But what is embarrassing is that this transfer rumor can be summed up in three sentences: 1. Liverpool still pays attention to Joan Armeni for a long time, and their interest in him has not diminished since then, and they are ready to wait for an opportunity to restart this signing; 2. Real Madrid will not sell; 3. Players will not come.

On the evening of May 22 local time, the court of the Italian Football Association made a retrial judgment on the Juventus club's false value-added profit case: Juventus club was deducted 10 league points.

Previously, Juventus had appealed to the Olympic Committee's Security Tribunal, and the original judgment of deducting 15 points was sent back for retrial. 10 points to 15 points is obviously much lighter in terms of sentencing, but it also made Juventus fall out of the Champions League.

The plot repeated itself, from the trial of the case by the Procuratorate of the Football Association to the application for punishment of Juventus, and then to the judgment of the Football Association court, and finally Juventus successfully appealed to the Olympic Committee, and the case was sent back for retrial. It's just that this judgment is a full 4 months later than the previous one. Originally, the punishment in the middle of the season would not cause too much controversy, but the Football Association court obviously did not expect the development of the matter.

The timing of the announcement of the retrial judgment is very delicate. On the one hand, the court must consider the purpose of punishment and try to have a certain impact on Juventus’s European qualification before the end of the season. On the other hand, the score changes at this time will also affect other players. The mentality of the team.

The announcement of the verdict was just in time for the Juventus-Empoli match. It may be to avoid the outside world’s doubts that the court will determine the penalty points after watching the match results (that is, until the team can’t play in the European war). But it seems that the outside world is worrying too much.

Before being penalized, Juventus had 69 points, and after being penalized, it became 59 points. It happened to be 5 points behind AC Milan with one game less, so if Juventus won the game against Empoli, the next The two teams will start a direct dialogue in the next round. As long as Juventus beats Milan, they will surpass their opponents and re-squeeze into the Champions League.

Perhaps as Allegri said, it is surreal to know that 10 points were fined 15 minutes before the game. Juventus players may not have the energy and strength to bear the same weight again after experiencing a penalty and recovering it. It seems that there are only two games away, but it is extremely long for them. In the end, Juventus lost 1 to 4 to Empoli, who had just confirmed their relegation, and gave up their only hope.

Roma also did not seize the opportunity, but they were more due to physical reasons than psychological reasons. A few days ago, Roma had just succeeded in shopping for Leverkusen and advanced to the final of the Europa League.

And this final is different from the UEFA Champions League final. It will be staged in Budapest a week later, causing Roma to have no time to take care of the league. Mourinho has tried to send players in normal physical condition, but it is still an improvised lineup. Kamara and Tasirovich partnered in the midfield, and Bovey played as a central defender, but Roma just relied on two set kicks to equalize the score. At home, they kept a 2-2 draw against Salernitana, but 1 point was not enough. Not enough, they are 4 points behind the fourth-ranked Milan with only 2 rounds left in the league, and it is almost impossible to qualify for the Champions League through the league.

However, Roma may still become the most promising light in Serie A. UEFA stipulates that if a team that does not rely on league rankings to qualify for the Champions League wins the Champions League or the Europa League, it will automatically add a place for the league to participate in the Champions League next season. The fact that the probability of winning the Europa League final is greater than that of Inter Milan in the Champions League makes Roma the team that most concerns Serie A. Whether Serie A can get 5 Champions League places depends on Mourinho and his players.

The happiest is AC Milan, who obviously did nothing, but Juventus gave away points and penalty points, directly pushing themselves into the top four, so that even if Milan loses to Juventus in the next round, as long as the last round Victory over Verona can also advance, and Inter Milan, which is already very sure, even only needs a draw to go ashore. After one night, the Milan duo found that the future was bright, the Serie A Champions League pattern has been set, and Juventus may become the only loser.

The players and coaches of Juventus deserve sympathy and respect. After all, they can rank second in points scored on the field, and they didn’t collapse after experiencing a penalty point, but they still lost their dignity as a collective of Juventus , lost the entire season in a 1-4 defeat.

After the game, Allegri lost control of his emotions and went mad at the broadcast camera: "This is simply 'torture'. It's unbelievable. If you want to make a decision, you can make it once. It's enough!"

Even Mourinho believes that determining the penalty points two rounds in advance affects the fairness of the league: "We have considered the previous situation and put all our energy on the cup. I feel sorry for Allegri and have to deal with it like me. colleagues in this situation."

After the announcement of the latest punishment against Juventus, the club publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the result and will prepare to appeal again, but this time as a retrial, it will be more difficult to continue overturning, but Juventus, like their motto, has always been " fino alla fine" (until the end), it is not ruled out that they will appeal to the local administrative court to seek an explanation beyond the field of sports.

Along with the judgment, the pardons of 6 Juventus managements including Nedved were also issued, but none of them included Agnelli, Paratici, Cherubini and Arrivabene, who were the protagonists of the case Not getting a pardon just shows that the Football Association's procuratorate has conclusive evidence, and the court also believes that it is enough to convict. This is precisely the biggest obstacle for Juventus to continue to appeal, because the penalty points can be discretionary, but the case itself cannot be re-characterized.

Not only that, the hearing on the Juventus wage fraud case will be held on June 15th, CAB도메인 reported that the club will face further risk of punishment at that time, as Allegri said, Juventus' entire season is like " "Torture", tortured again and again.

Having won the league championship 5 times in 6 years and achieved three consecutive Premier League titles for the first time, Guardiola's Manchester City has undoubtedly become a "dynasty".

In the more than 100-year history of England's top league, only 5 teams have achieved 6 times in a row. The earliest was Huddersfield (1924-26) 97 years ago, and then Arsenal (1933-26). 35), Liverpool (1982-84) peaked in the 1980s, while Manchester United in the Ferguson era had two (1999-2001 and 2007-2009).

As for the four consecutive championships, it has never happened, but CAB주소 seems that the current Manchester City may become a reality in a year, or even a longer consecutive championship record.

After all, Guardiola's Manchester City has already achieved great success. Even the disadvantage of falling behind by 8 points at one time can catch up and win the championship early.

In this state, many people must have the same question in their hearts: Who else can stop Guardiola's team from continuing to dominate the Premier League in the future?

The team without the Champions League fixtures is most eligible?

In this season, Arsenal "almost" succeeded in preventing the official establishment of the Manchester City dynasty. They were the leaders in the standings until late April, and they didn't completely fall behind after losing the direct dialogue between the two sides.

Obviously, the Gunners' youth and courage to challenge are worthy of affirmation and respect, but we must also understand that this young team's sudden emergence this season is actually mixed with many accidental factors.

If most of the BIG6 hadn't encountered difficulties, including Manchester City's downturn for a while, Arsenal, which took the lead in making efforts, might not be able to occupy the high ground from the start stage.

By next season, Arteta's team will face an unprecedented test. After returning to the Champions League after many years, they will also lose an advantage over their competitors. Arsenal has no European competition tasks; by 2022-23, Arsenal, which once competed for the championship, has not been under the pressure of the Champions League.

In the future, they may be too busy to take care of themselves. After all, the most obvious shortcoming of the current team is that the lineup is not deep enough. Although the main force is strong, they can only play in the league.

If Arsenal's Premier League rankings slip next season, I believe it will not surprise too many people. Although they will definitely strengthen in the summer, it is not easy to make the expanded team soar in strength in a flash. An easy thing to do.

Ever since, when discussing next season's "Manchester City challenger", the most popular candidate is not Arsenal, but Liverpool, which now seems hopeless for the top four.

Is this because Liverpool can't play the Champions League? This can be regarded as one of the elements, but more importantly, Klopp is the only coach who has ever competed with Guardiola in the Premier League and defeated the "full form of Manchester City".

After Guardiola transformed Manchester City into shape and won the league championship in the 2017-18 season, he was only interrupted to defend the title once in the Premier League, and that was the 2019-20 season when Liverpool won the championship. In addition, don't forget that in 2018-19 and 2021-22, Liverpool was only 1 point behind Manchester City in the end.

Of course, the downfall of this season is enough to show that Klopp is facing the biggest dilemma since he landed in the Premier League. It is not easy to regain his glory, and it is even more difficult to overthrow Guardiola again.

In this regard, we can only say that Liverpool still has some basic conditions. For example, although their lineup renewal seems to be lagging behind, at least they have spent a lot of money. Although newcomers such as Nunes and Huckpo are temporarily unable to meet At the height of the year, there is also an upward trend and a huge room for improvement.

In addition, there are still some good rumors about Xia Tian's reinforcement. Although Bellingham, who has been staring at him for a long time, cannot be bought, Brighton's McAllister, Chelsea's Mount or Bayern's Grafenberg have the opportunity to become Liverpool's new force. The last time the league slumped, they only won the third place in the 2020-21 season. Liverpool rebounded very quickly. This time they fell even harder. I wonder if they can come up with a stronger response.

More money can win in the future?

In addition to Liverpool, Manchester United is also a team that is expected to make "progress" next season, and in terms of preventing Guardiola from winning the trophy, Manchester United should even be considered the team that is expected to achieve this goal the fastest-the FA Cup on June 3 In the final, if Ten Hag's team can win the Manchester Derby, then Manchester City's treble dominance will naturally come to an end, regardless of whether the latter can beat Inter Milan in another week.

This sounds a bit like "mission impossible", but at least in January this year, Manchester United also reversed Manchester City 2-1 with a tenacity. Of course, in order to really challenge the neighbors who are no longer what they used to be in the longer term, Manchester United needs to be reborn in the true sense-it is best to change to a richer and more generous boss.

In all fairness, Ten Hag has indeed brought a lot of positive changes to the team, but it is not so easy to resolve all the troubles left by the deviation for many years. The current Manchester United lineup also has obvious flaws, such as the lack of a top scorer with particularly guaranteed scoring data.

Manchester United needs a strong summer, and it is best to win the rumored Osimene or Kane.

Tottenham, where the latter is located, is one of the traditional BIG6. This season, it feels like it will be expelled from the Premier League giants. The cooperation with Conte failed, and it has been difficult to determine the direction of selection after Conte was fired. In this way, there is a high probability that they will need to "start over" next season, and it is difficult to be qualified to compete with Manchester City.

Given that Newcastle is only 1 point away from securing the Champions League qualification for next season ahead of schedule, this "upstart" must be included in the discussion. With the endorsement of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, whose wealth far exceeds that of the Abu Dhabi royal family, it is not surprising that Newcastle will dominate the Premier League one day.

With the support of wealth, the team has indeed made rapid progress. Last year, it once fought for relegation, and this year it is expected to rank third in the league. Just going one step further, the difficulty will inevitably double, and Newcastle's development strategy is actually quite successful.

They value the long-term future more than just fighting for the immediate pick. On the day of Newcastle's success in the hegemony, Guardiola may not necessarily still be in Manchester City.

In the end, we seem to be unable to completely rule out Chelsea, one of the BIG6.

Although they have been extremely chaotic this season and have been reduced to be grateful for early relegation, after all, the new boss spent 600 million pounds to reinforce, which is enough to demonstrate their ambitions.

Therefore, some British media still have imaginations about Chelsea: What if the team is built into the second most valuable team in the world after Pochettino comes?

For example, WhoScored recently posted a piece of data that pointedly: Manchester City is one of the opponents that Pochettino least wants to face, and the average score per game when leading the team against it is only 1.05. And facing Guardiola, who is only one year older than himself, Pochettino is always a little shorter in momentum. Under this premise, if Chelsea can return to the front row to disrupt the situation in the future, it may be considered a success.

Can't play without Casemiro? In the match between Manchester United and Newcastle, when Manchester United formed the midfield combination of McTominay + Sabitzer + Bruno Fernandes, a Bayern fan asked me: Your Manchester United midfield looks weak.

I was taken aback by what I said, but it’s not wrong to think about it carefully. Sabitzer has always been used as an engineer in Bayern, and McTominay is also known for his frizz in Manchester United’s youth training. Bruno Fernandes aside, Manchester United's midfield is indeed not strong enough.

Every time after Manchester United loses, the two comments that will definitely appear are: "Without Casemiro, Manchester United is nothing", "We spent so much money in the summer window and still play like this", this kind of unrealistic Let’s not comment on the behavior, but the issue of Manchester United’s midfield should continue to be taken seriously. Just signing Casemiro and Eriksen seems to be far from enough, because Manchester United’s current consideration is not only about signings and supplements. Strong, and paying for past mistakes.

What has gone wrong in the United midfield in the past? Wrong assessment of the strength of the midfielder. Since Ferguson retired, Manchester United's waist injury problem has been discussed and has not been resolved. Since Manchester United signed Matic in 2017, Manchester United has only signed Matic for five years. A 40 million euro van der Beek, and how many midfielders did Manchester United leave during this period? Matic who is very good in Serie A, Pogba who went to Juventus to recuperate, Fulham's core Pereira, Lingard who went to the forest, Mata who scored 3 goals and 1 assist in Galatasaray , Visa-free joining PSG's Herrera.

In 6 years, Manchester United left a total of 6 midfielders. During Solskjaer's coaching period, Manchester United only signed Van der Beek. Eriksen has two midfielders, and they are both over 30 years old, so when you see that Manchester United can only rely on McTominay, Fred, and Sabitzer to play as a midfielder, others say that the midfielder So mediocre, it's not surprising.

The combination of Casemiro + Eriksen only filled the vacancy left by Pogba + Matic. Considering that Casemiro and Eriksen could not play more games due to uncontrollable factors, Manchester United can only rely on the original team at home. Old background: Fred + McTominay.

If you compare Manchester United's signings in various positions in the past few years: almost 1.5 seasons signed a central defender, signed a center every year, and signed a winger every year. Only the signings of midfielders and right backs are embarrassing.

The positioning of Fred + McTominay is actually very vague. They used to serve as the main force to help Manchester United win the league third and league runner-up during Solskjaer's period, but they are suitable for Solskjaer's system, but they may not be suitable for Tenen. Hahe's system, there was hope for them at the beginning of this season, but now it seems that both of their positions should be upgraded. It may be difficult for them to even qualify as Manchester United's substitutes, just like Pereira. Lem is very good as the core, but in Manchester United's system is very hip, they are not suitable for Manchester United's system.

Of course, the saddest thing is that the "Manchester Evening News" said that Manchester United hopes Xia Chuang to keep McTominay because he is the youngest of the four midfielders. McTominay is 26 years old, and the other midfielders are all over 30 years old. up. At this time, do you still think that Manchester United's midfield problem is not serious? Therefore, 캡도메인 believes that no amount of investment in the midfield during the summer window can be overstated.

The only suspense left is the ownership of the other three Champions League places. At present, Lazio, AC Milan and Inter Milan are ranked 2nd to 4th in the standings. In addition to Lazio having a certain point advantage, the difference between the Milan duo and the subsequent Rome and Atlanta is only within one game. Don’t forget there is still Juventus, which deducted 15 points, has caught up, which makes the situation of the Serie A fourth this season even more complicated.

캡주소 will analyze the possibility of Roma, Atalanta and Juventus competing for the top four. For the situation of the other three teams, see the situation analysis of the four competitions in Serie A: Lazio is the best, Milan is watching the Champions League, and Inter Milan is on the verge of extinction.

AS Roma 50 points.

After a two-game losing streak in Serie A, Mourinho easily beat Samp 3-0 with goals from Dybala, Wijnaldum and Shalawi at home against his former disciple Stankovic Doria also tied Inter Milan in points, and closely followed the footsteps of the four major teams.

In addition to the league, AS Roma will also play in the Europa League in the next schedule. Their opponent is Feyenoord, the leader of the Eredivisie. Last season, Mourinho led AS Roma to win the first UEFA Cup. Naturally, this season will not let go of the higher-level UEFA Cup, and the Europa League champion will directly advance to the UEFA Champions League group stage. . However, two-line combat will inevitably have a great impact on the physical fitness of AS Roma players.

The remaining 10 league rounds of AS Roma include 5 home games and 5 away games. The 5 home games are Udinese, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Salernitana and Spezia. The 5 away games are Turin, Atlanta, Monza, Bologna and Florence. The 10 opponents include 3 direct rivals Milan Shuangxiong and Atlanta, as well as Fiorentina, Bologna, Udinese and Turin, which are ranked 8th to 11th in Serie A, and their strength should not be underestimated. Among them, the results of AS Roma and Inter Milan and Atlanta may directly determine which team has the opportunity to participate in the Champions League next season.

Atlanta 48 points

After winning two consecutive victories in the league, Atlanta has initially stepped out of the trough of the previous stage of Serie A with 1 draw, 3 losses and 4 games without a win, and has regained the pace of the top four teams. Compared with other teams, Atlanta's biggest advantage lies in single-line combat. In the next 10 league rounds, 9 rounds will be played once a week. Abundant physical fitness will be their biggest weapon in the competition for the Champions League.

Atalanta's last 10 league rounds include 6 home games and 4 away games. Home opponents are Bologna, AS Roma, Spezia, Juventus, Verona and Monza. Away opponents include Florence, Turin, Salerni Tana and Inter Milan need to face Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan. Compared with other four teams, Atlanta's remaining schedule is easy and difficult.

Judging from past records, Atlanta has a good winning rate against Juventus, but has not defeated Inter Milan in recent seasons. Therefore, Atlanta's away game against Inter Milan in the penultimate round may directly determine the ownership of a Champions League spot.

Juventus 44 points

No one thought that Juventus, which had been deducted 15 points, would still have a chance to compete for the top four in the league. Juventus achieved an astonishing record of 7 wins and 1 loss in the 8 rounds from the 21st round to the 28th round. In the 25th round away game, they lost 0:1 to AS Roma.

Today, Juventus has reached 44 points, only 6 points away from the fourth place Inter Milan. With 10 rounds left in the league, with the state of the Milan duo in the league, Juventus may be in the fifth round. It will be able to enter the top 4 of the league again within a few days.

For Juventus, the biggest difficulty in competing for the top four in the league may lie in the next three-line battle, the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and Inter Milan, and the quarter-finals of the Europa League and Sporting Lisbon. However, in the case that league points may be deducted again, winning the Europa League to obtain the Champions League next season may become the best way for Juventus to take the initiative, which will also affect Juventus' next games The center of gravity makes a difference.

The last 10 rounds of Juventus include 4 home games and 6 away games. The home opponents are Naples, Lecce, Cremonese and AC Milan, and the away opponents are Lazio, Sassuolo, Bologna, Atlanta, Empoli and AC Milan. Udinese. These include the quasi-champion Naples, the top four teams Lazio, AC Milan and Atlanta, and the difficulty is in the upper middle. However, for Juventus, whether they can get fourth place in the league this season depends not only on their own game results, but also on the performance of the four opponents. After all, Juventus can catch up, thanks to these players team performance.

Overall, 캡주소 believes that in addition to Naples, the other three teams most likely to win the top four in Serie A this season are Lazio, AC Milan and AS Roma. As for Inter Milan, they can only mourn their misfortune and be angry about their indisputability.

"Public News" used Manchester United to win to analyze the end of the relationship between Ronaldo and Mendes. In fact, from the whole process, the winner seems to include Mendes, even though he took the lead in developing a channel for Ronaldo to join Riyadh Victory. He didn't get the transfer commission he deserved, but Mendes obviously can tell the truth about the full meal.

One of the reasons why Mendes and Ronaldo broke up:Only Manchester United is willing to accept Ronaldo

According to the report of "Publico", when Ronaldo was preparing to leave Juventus, Mendes, as the most famous agent in football, was able to clearly perceive the changes in the market. He knew the difficulty of helping Ronaldo find a next home. degree. To use the original text of "Public Daily": After closing that door, there will be no door that can be opened again.

The second reason why Mendes and Ronaldo broke up: the summer transfer window searched for Europe, but did not find a next home

In the summer window of 2022, Luo Miou's story spread throughout the football world, and the voices of many authoritative reporters seemed to prove that Ronaldo really wanted to find a bigger stage. "Public Daily" believes that Ronaldo is unwilling to admit that he is already a secondary role, and he is also unwilling to give up such a huge stage as the Champions League.

CBS Sports sports reporter Ben Jacobs said that he not only wants to join the Champions League club, but also wants to join a team that he does not feel that he needs to take full responsibility. He hopes to get support. What is support? That is not only Ronaldo can maintain a super high scoring efficiency, but also allow the team to win. Originally joining other teams was quite difficult, but the rules and regulations set by Ronaldo exacerbated the difficulty for Mendes to find his next home.

TA magazine once recalled that Chelsea was the only club that really had a conversation with Mendes during the summer window, but they gave up because of Tuchel's firm opposition. It is not like Ronaldo said that he has many offers from top clubs. Therefore, the second disagreement between Mendes and Ronaldo arose. Mendes knew that it would be difficult for Ronaldo to find a next home, but Ronaldo still believed that he was competitive.

The third reason why Mendes and Ronaldo broke up: Ronaldo is doing things, Mendes wants a long-term cooperation

TA magazine once stated that Mendes was firmly on the side of Manchester United when Ronaldo bombarded Manchester United. According to the expression of "The Public", it is even more serious, because Ronaldo let Solskjaer resign and had conflicts with Rangnick. Although many things have never been made public, the Manchester United management has been in contact with Mendes. complained in .

Now, Ronaldo has encountered a Ten Hag who is unwilling to endure like Solskjaer and Rangnick. Ronaldo finally broke out. He accepted an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan and talked about the so-called truth. Although Ronaldo only scored 3 goals at the time, Ronaldo believed that he could play a legendary performance in the World Cup, which once again aroused the interest of European teams.

However, Mendes has always believed that Ronaldo is whimsical, and even bluntly believes that no European giants are willing to ask Ronaldo. The reason is very simple. As the top agent in European football, Mendes still has a long career to cooperate with European giants, while Ronaldo is 38 years old, and his career may end at the age of 40. retired. For a two-year contract, Mendes can tell the difference between giving up the 10-year cooperation opportunity with European giants, whether it is a full meal or a full meal.

Consequences of Ronaldo and Mendes breakup: word of mouth plummets

Mendes is an agent with the rise of social media. He and the late Raiola were once considered the two ace agents in football. There are obvious differences in the styles of the two. Raiola is better at using players The club does things to gain greater benefits. And Mendes is more accustomed to using social media to create personalities and build brands. For example, among the three players/coaches with absolute fans in football, Ronaldo and Mourinho belong to Mendes.

Therefore, Mendes has spared no effort in using media means to protect the reputation of players. However, since the rift between Mendes and Ronaldo, Ronaldo's reputation has taken a turn for the worse. Some of his disgraceful captaincy at Manchester United, his refusal to implement tactics, his early departure from the team, and his refusal to play are frequently seen in newspapers. Today, even the Portuguese media, which regards Ronaldo as the domestic champion, has started to bombard Ronaldo. This is enough to show how much influence the loss of Mendes has on Ronaldo's brand operation.

Overturning the verdict for Manchester United: Ronaldo left the team purely for his own troubles

After Ronaldo left Manchester United, there were many comments that Manchester United treated Ronaldo unfairly. But the report of "Public News" exposed almost all the details: it was purely Ronaldo himself. Previously, BBC reporter Simon Stone and TA Magazine's David Ostein, two of the most authoritative reporters reporting on the Premier League, both implicitly said: Ronaldo created the discord in Manchester United's dressing room last season.

Now it seems that Manchester United is gradually rectifying its name. A club that was originally in the top four of the Premier League almost faced the risk of dismantling the team after Ronaldo joined for a season, but was bombarded by Ronaldo for disrespect. As Mendes and Ronaldo stay away, 캡사이트 speculates that more inside information will be revealed one by one. There is never a shortage of big news in football, but some news may need to be settled.
