The average competitiveness of the Premier League championship group this season is not too strong, which is obvious to all. It can be said that only Liverpool is thriving, maintaining the stability and breakthrough of last season, while Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and other regular championship contenders are not as good as they are. They played better last season. Not only did they not gain more points than last season, but they actually dropped!

Each team has its own problems here.

Manchester United's midfield was accompanied by Hargreaves' serious injury more than a year ago, and Scholes' strength declined significantly at the end of his career. The defense line was once known as the strongest central defender combination in Europe. Qi + Ferdinand suffered from constant injuries, and the promoted Evans was difficult to take on the big job. In addition, the influence of C Ronaldo's departure on the weakening of offense, Manchester United's overall competitiveness in the league, which competes for long-distance running endurance, has declined comprehensively!

But Ferguson has his own way of managing the team. He can always integrate those players who don't seem to be worthy of Manchester United or who seem to be of average strength alone into the Manchester United system, which has greatly improved the overall strength of Manchester United. These take time!

Chelsea's decline this season was sudden. How much impact the resignation of important management personnel has had on the team's competitive strength is invisible to the naked eye and hard to explain with the mouth, but when the team's record declines, it will be deliberately enlarge.

The absence of many main players due to injuries at critical moments is the direct cause of the rapid decline in the Blues' state, and the results of signings in the summer are also important factors for the lack of stamina.

There is a lack of heroes to stand up at critical moments.

Arsenal's problems are old-fashioned, young, and have been walking on the track of Wenger's romantic football. The team can't stand the toss, and it seems that it can't stand the blow. This team always goes smoothly The momentum is like a rainbow, and when adversity comes, you will be defeated!

If there is any new change in the competitive landscape, it is naturally the rise of Manchester City.

It's hard to say that Manchester City already has the strength to compete for the championship, but in the past two years, Manchester City has made progress step by step, and the progress is obvious to all. There is no doubt that if there is reinforcement and improvement in the summer, Manchester City will be a contender for the Premier League. Crown Rivals!

With 13 rounds left in the league, Liverpool's lead is as high as 12 points, which makes Fleet Street's early conclusion on the Premier League competition: Liverpool will finally defend the title successfully!

After Qin Xiong returned to Liverpool City, he first had to adapt to the changes that had taken place in the team when he left.

Torres is gone!

Was taken away by Chelsea's sky-high price of 5000 million pounds!

On the one hand, Torres' state was not stable in the first half of the season. With injuries, his scoring efficiency was low. On the other hand, Torres asked for a high salary last summer and was rejected by Liverpool. The salary that Chelsea can offer is naturally very generous. .

In the end, Chelsea's offer of £5000 million made it impossible for the Liverpool board to refuse!

The Liverpool board's thinking is more pragmatic.

With this 5000 million pounds, it can not only meet Koeman's requirement to introduce at least a first-class full-back, but also introduce younger, more ambitious and excellent forwards with lower salary costs!

After Torres left the team, Liverpool first completed a transfer that shocked Merseyside!

The main left-back Baynes of Liverpool's rival Everton joined Liverpool for £2000 million!

The full-back who was once given up by the Everton youth team, grew up in the Wigan Athletic youth training system, was introduced by Everton, and has gradually matured into the England national team in the past three and a half years. Anfield.

Everton is not Tottenham. Tottenham have the confidence to say that Bale will not sell for less than 6000 million pounds. Very difficult.

But Everton is short of money!

The price of 2000 million pounds is enough for the board of directors to withstand the pressure to complete this transaction!

Baines himself is not particularly enthusiastic about this transfer. His only concern is the rivalry between Everton and Liverpool. However, after the club nodded, he was able to relieve a lot of pressure from the fans.

It was the club who gave up on him out of profit, not because he insisted on leaving!

Since Everton has no European missions, after Baynes came to the team, Liverpool can take out a spot for Baynes to register in the list of UEFA Champions League submissions before February.

In this way, Liverpool finally solved the problem of left-back Aurelio's absence due to injury this season and his declining state after increasing age.

At the same time, Liverpool basically has the two best full-backs in England: Baines and Johnson.

Of course, they are all behind Ashley Cole.

This is also very important for Liverpool's lineup. England's teams still pay more attention to localized composition.

After solving the problem of full-backs, Liverpool will have to solve the problem of insufficient strikers after Torres.

Koeman set his sights on his hometown, and it was still his old club Ajax.

The leading striker Suarez scored a lot of goals in the Eredivisie, but he made a big disaster in the first half of the league this season. He bit someone inexplicably on the court!

This led to Ajax's scruples about the club's image and intends to sell it.

Liverpool then shot at this time.

In the end, Suarez was also won at a price of 2000 million pounds.

Liverpool completed three deals in the winter transfer window.

Sold Torres for £5000m.

2000 million pounds to introduce Baines.

2000 million pounds to introduce Suarez.

Then, not only did Liverpool earn £1000m, they also had a chunk left over in their wages budget.

You must know that the combined salary of Baynes and Suarez is 5000 pounds lower than Torres' weekly salary before!

Koeman had a detailed discussion with the club's top management for this.

What he means is: I have made money for the club, but my responsibility and obligation as a head coach is not to make money, but to win games and win championships, so please keep the money earned from the transfer market. , I wait until summer to spend!

If it were Manchester United's board of directors, they would definitely not even dump Koeman, but Liverpool's board of directors still understands the righteousness and is not a mercenary vampire.

Originally, Koeman was supposed to provide a transfer budget of 2000 million pounds in the winter, but unexpectedly the club earned 1000 million pounds.

Wilcott brought the resolution of the board of directors: 3000 million pounds here and there will be accumulated in the summer transfer budget!

And Wilcott also told Koeman the goal.

Defending the Premier League, Liverpool will give him a transfer budget of 4000 million pounds in the summer, plus the previous 3000 million pounds, then he will have 7000 million pounds to spend.

If he can defend the Champions League, the club will give him a transfer budget of 6000 million pounds in the summer, plus 3000 million pounds.

If the transfer market clears up some unnecessary players, Koeman will have a transfer budget of [-] million pounds in his hands in the summer! (To be continued~^~.)
