Chapter 172 Winter Transfer Window

Chapter 172 Winter Transfer Window

The biggest difference between the Premier League and other leagues is that there is no winter break, even if there is no winter break, you have to drive fast during the period from the end of December to January.

Known as the Christmas Express!

Players do not get enough rest, which is a test of the players' physical reserves and mental will.At the same time, the rotation level of the coach is also one of the decisive factors. Manchester United has the No. [-] driver in the Premier League, Ferguson, who is familiar with the road, so he often drives fast during the Christmas period.

During this period, Manchester United had to deal with the league, League Cup and FA Cup at the same time, fighting on three fronts, which was very hard.

Kaisa feels tired, if not for the relaxing massage after every game, his muscles would definitely be worn out. Ronaldo learned from Kaisa and hired a trainer, who was also a female trainer, and his body was greatly relaxed.

The winter break almost overlaps with the winter transfer window. The transfer window opens on January 1st and ends on February 1st. It will be postponed when there is a rest day, until February 2rd at the latest.

During this time period, many teams took the opportunity to strengthen.Among the Premier League teams, Manchester United is the best. Chelsea and Liverpool can't sit still, waving checks, ready to eat newcomers, and sprint in the second half of the season.

In the winter transfer window last year, Manchester United bought Vidic and Evra at a low price. After half a season of adaptation, they have now become the main force of the team, with strong defense and quite stable.

Vidic's 700 million and Evra's 550 million, no matter when you look at these two transfers, they are all great value.

Ferguson wanted to loan the former Barcelona player, the Swedish veteran Larsson, but seeing that the healthy Saha had no chance to play, he gritted his teeth, forget it, save a few dollars, and find another little demon tomorrow summer.

Manchester United has no transfer operations, the most important thing is that they have no money.Ferguson, a player on the market, also looks down on it, and it doesn't fit his idea of ​​​​building a team.

Chelsea fell behind Manchester United in the league, and captain Terry suffered another injury. Mourinho couldn't sit still, and pulled out a long list of signings, urging the team to buy people quickly.

Oyewu, Richards and Ben Haim are not a problem, Mourinho can all be used.

But Abramovich and Kenyon seem to be increasingly dissatisfied with Mourinho. While negotiating, they can't agree on one side. The winter transfer window passed, and no player got paid.

Mourinho is extremely dissatisfied, the operation of the team is like shit, without the results of Manchester United, and still learning from Manchester United?Yes, Manchester United did nothing.

Arsenal is now ranked third in the league, the FA Cup and the League Cup go hand in hand, and both have hopes of winning.

Wenger wondered if he should smash the piggy bank and buy a few young ladies?To be the new Cesc Fabregas in the future.Aguero and David Silva in La Liga are pretty good and can be considered.

However, he saw that Manchester United and Chelsea, which were higher in the rankings, did not express anything, did not spend a penny, and did not move at all.Feeling excited inexplicably, so there is such an operation?He decided to follow, and lived a winter without spending money.

Liverpool ranks fourth in the league. Benitez is not as calm as the first three coaches. He needs signings and results.He went out in person and went to Atletico Madrid to recruit the golden boy Torres.

In Kaisa's last life, the golden boy Torres did not arrive at Liverpool until the summer transfer window, but the situation this season is completely different. Liverpool spent a lot of money to bring the young Torres to Anfield.

Torres' transfer fee of 2400 million pounds also created a transfer fee record for Liverpool.

Benitez's idea is very obvious. He has no hope of keeping up with Manchester United and Chelsea in the league. He just needs to keep the qualification for the Champions League, but he must keep one of the Champions League and the domestic cup.

At the same time, Liverpool also introduced Arbeloa and Duran, the team's weak midfield has been further improved, and Gerrard can finally rest for a few games.

Thinking of Manchester United's strong midfielder, Benitez looked envious, "If Keza was in Liverpool, we would definitely win this year's Champions League. Damn Ferguson, whoever robbed me..."

West Ham turned out to be one of the biggest buyers in the Premier League winter window.After the new boss Magnussen took over, he gave Kobishley a large sum of money, but the signing effect was mediocre, he couldn't play, and continued to relegation.

Fast horse Ashley Young bought by Villa for £965 million.Ashley Young from Watford is very strong and good at crossing. Ferguson is also paying attention to him. Mourinho and Benitez also wanted to buy, but they didn't start.

After joining Villa, Ashley Young quickly shined, contributing 5 goals and 2 assists in 2 games, and his performance was eye-catching.The head coach O'Neill was almost happy, and he found a treasure, and he could sell it for a fortune in the future.

In other leagues, La Liga and Serie A frequently interact.

La Liga's winter transfer window this year ushered in a climax of spending money.Real Madrid invested 4050 million euros, accounting for nearly two-thirds of La Liga's expenses, a terrible investment.

Capello convinced the management that they are ready to fight in the league and the Champions League.

The "New Redondo", a midfielder with elegant style of play and long hair, Gago, a player from Boca Juniors, came to the Bernabeu with a worth of 2000 million euros.However, in the face of fierce competition, he can only become a defensive engineer, wasting his long hair.

19-year-old Higuain, with a small belly, transferred from River Plate to Real Madrid.The bewildered teenager Marcelo has not yet grown into a wing forward.

But Real Madrid left a Uranus superstar.Super striker Ronaldo left the Bernabeu, went to San Siro, joined AC Milan, and met with Kaka, Cafu and other Brazilian gangs.In AC Milan, there is also his old friend Pirlo.

Pirlo and Ronaldo were teammates at Inter Milan, and now they are together again.

In the La Liga market, 6 teams including Barcelona and Valencia did not spend money in the winter transfer window. Barcelona believes that Messi's growth is enough to support the striker, and their judgment is correct.

Serie A was affected by "Phone Gate" and began to show signs of weakness.The teams with the biggest moves in the winter transfer window turned out to be relegation teams.Ascoli, Chievo, and Regina all made big moves.Parma also loaned teenager Rossi from Manchester United.

Rossi has a level, but he couldn't get a chance at Manchester United. Kesa and others are too strong, and it is difficult for young people to make their mark.Pique is already considering whether to return to Barcelona, ​​and he also wants to play, but the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand is too strong, he has no chance at all.

AC Milan carried the Serie A banner alone.They spent 750 million euros to buy Ronaldo from Real Madrid.Ronaldo will wear a magic number "99" (why not 69).

At the same time, Stoneri, Grimi and Odo also transferred to AC Milan, and Odo was then loaned back.

After Ronaldo moved to Milan, he was not eligible to play in the Champions League. He played in Real Madrid.

But it can provide energy for Milan's frontcourt, at least it can win the Champions League qualification.Milan was deducted 9 points because of "Telephone Gate". The performance in the first half of the season was mediocre. After Ronaldo joined, he began to show off.

In Kaisa's last life, Ronaldo scored 14 goals and had 7 assists in Milan's 4 league games. Without Ronaldo, it is hard to imagine whether AC Milan can persist in two-line combat.

The team transfer upgrade is complete.

The League Cup came to an end first.After Manchester United eliminated Tottenham, they drew the Wycombe Wanderers in the sub-level league and walked to the final.Arsenal and Chelsea staged a two-strong dialogue, and in the end Chelsea was even better and won the game.

Mourinho met Ferguson again, and the League Cup final is scheduled for February 2, which is the first to determine the champion.

In the FA Cup, Manchester United defeated Blackburn in the fifth round to enter the quarter-finals and also played against Chelsea.

In the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United has an advantage after being away first.In the first round of the confrontation, Manchester United played 2-0 in Lille away and entered the quarter-finals with one foot.

Facing Mourinho's old club Porto, Chelsea drew 1:1 away in the first round, holding an away goal and occupying a favorable position.

Liverpool performed more vigorously, beating last season's Champions League champion Barcelona 2:1 away.Benitez's ability to play cup games is not something to brag about.

Arsenal lost the chain and lost 0:1 to PSV Eindhoven in the away game.It is worth mentioning that Sun Xiang joined Eindhoven during the winter transfer window and played as a substitute in the game and performed well.

In the League Cup final, Kaisa hoped that he could play, but Ferguson didn't seem to have this intention...
