I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 365: Winter transfer window

The difference in strength between each other seems to be 1:2 behind, and one person was sent off. Although Manchester City is not reconciled to failure, their head coach Guardiola even changed into a three-back, wanting to fight desperately, but Manchester United obviously does not want to lose. Will give him a chance. In the ensuing game, Manchester United firmly controlled the situation on the field. They once formed a siege situation against Manchester City's goal.

However, Manchester City's Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo was very good. He saved at least three of Manchester United's shots and threatened. The busiest man in Manchester City, and successfully kept Manchester City's goal from falling again.

When the referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score of the game did not change again. Manchester United defeated Manchester City 2-1 away and took the lead in the two rounds of the League Cup semi-final. opportunity.

Of course, it's just an opportunity. Facing a strong opponent like Manchester City, before the final whistle was blown in the second round, Manchester United did not dare to say that they had advanced.

Guardiola shook Ye Su's hand with a straight face, and said bitterly, "I still don't think it's a penalty."

"In my opinion, it's a penalty kick for sure." Ye Su also said with a serious expression.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Yes, from their respective perspectives, their views and persistence are not wrong.

At the press conference after the game, Guardiola once again questioned the penalty kick. He said: "From my point of view, it was not a penalty kick. Rashford's fall was a bit exaggerated."

Before the words fell, Ye Su, who had been very humble and polite just now, immediately broke out and said loudly: "In my opinion, that is a penalty kick. Rashford is a strong young man. He can't flop. He didn't before. Yes, not now, not in the future, if possible, he would like to score all the balls in the goal!"

Ye Su's words, deeds and attitude impressed the reporters on the scene. This is a low-key and humble head coach, but his players are his reverse scales. This is a coach who will do his best to protect his players.

Such a coach is admirable.

When the time turns to 2018, the winter transfer window in world football has already opened.

The winter transfer window of the European League is much shorter than that of the summer transfer window, and there are restrictions on the registration of European competitions, so there are few big and crazy signings. Under normal circumstances, this month is mostly used in the middle of a season, connecting the past and ushering in the future, so that each team can make emergency supplements for weak links in the lineup or serious injuries.

It can be seen from past data that the transfer amount in the general winter window will not be too large. Even in the relatively hot winter window of 2016, the Premier League platform only spent a total of 255 million euros in transfer expenses. The main reason is that the strong investment of local tyrants in the Chinese Super League has given the Premier League enough "ammunition". Other leagues such as La Liga, Bundesliga, etc., the total expenditure is not even as good as the Chinese League One. Of course, with the introduction of the new policy of the Chinese Football Association, the "money burning trend" of Chinese football has been curbed.

What is intriguing is that the winter of 2018 seems to be very different from previous years. As Coutinho switched to Barcelona with the third highest value of 160 million euros in world football, this not only broke the historical record of the winter transfer window, It makes this year's winter become "hot".

In fact, the reason for such a prosperous transfer still starts with the transfer of Neymar in the summer. Because he "redeemed" from La Liga giants Barcelona with a worth of 222 million euros, he then switched to the Ligue 1 team Paris Saint-Germain. As a result of such a transaction, although Barcelona got 222 million in cash,

But it is necessary to buy more good players to make up for the loss of the team's image and restore its own market influence.

Due to the successive price increases of various teams, Barcelona's harvest in the summer is actually insufficient. The introduction of a Dembele at a sky-high price is not enough to satisfy Barcelona supporters. Therefore, in the winter transfer window, Coutinho joined at a sky-high price of 160 million euros, which became an inevitable result.

Of course, this is not to say that Coutinho will inevitably transfer to Barcelona, ​​but a transfer worth as much as 160 million will inevitably happen.

On the other hand, since Paris bought Neymar and loaned Martial in the summer, they also faced pressure from UEFA's fair play policy and needed to sell some players to balance the accounts. In this year's winter transfer window, many players, including Draxler, Pastore, Guedes, Lucas Jr., Di Maria, etc., may enter the transfer market with a worth of more than 40 million euros , Become the "meat and potatoes" that other giants teams are eager for.

In particular, these players are all associated with some giant teams. Lucas Jr. is said to have entered Tottenham’s signing radar, Pastore is very close to Inter Milan, and Draxler exists. The possibility of joining the Premier League or returning to the Bundesliga.

Once these players complete the transfer, it will cause a new round of transfer climax.

………………

Ye Su watched Coutinho's transfer to Barcelona with a mood of watching the show. After all, the transfer farce between Coutinho and Liverpool has been going on for two or three years. In almost every transfer window, a lot of rumors about Coutinho's transfer will be exposed.

Of course, as a time traveler, Ye Su knew that as long as there were no accidents, Coutinho would definitely transfer to Anfield this winter, but as the head coach of the sworn enemy, Ye Su liked to watch Liverpool play very much.

However, Ye Su never dreamed that soon he, a theatergoer, would also enter the game.

Liverpool, which received a sky-high price from Coutinho's transfer, began to brandish checks to poach people around in order to make up for the loss of the core midfielder. In addition to hoping to strengthen the midfielder who lost Coutinho, their Achilles heel-the defense is also the key target of reinforcement.

Although Liverpool introduced Swedish central defender Lindelof in the summer, judging from his performance in the past half season, Lindelof cannot support Liverpool's defense.

If Klopp wants to compete with the Manchester City duo, he must strengthen their weakest link, that is, the central defender position.

Originally, Liverpool would spend a lot of money to buy Dutch central defender Van Dijk this winter, but it is obviously not working now. Van Dijk is the core of Manchester United's defense and the main force. Naturally, he would not have the idea of ​​going to Liverpool, and Liverpool would not think of poaching Manchester United's main central defender.

Klopp really didn't think about poaching Manchester United, and even because of the rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool, Klopp never thought about buying players from Manchester United. Because he knows very well that this is almost impossible.

However, no one expected that someone would take the initiative to approach Klopp and Liverpool.
