Chapter 648 Lineup
Chapter 3 Lineup

As the summer break of the European leagues has gradually entered a hiatus, the news of the transfer window has gradually increased.

This season, there has been news of buying reinforcements from all the powerhouses in the Premier League, but so far, Manchester United, the overlord of the Premier League, has not heard any valuable signing news.

In the past, the media were always keen to report about Manchester United’s transfer news, because in recent years, as a super giant, Manchester United’s performance has not been satisfactory. Naturally, Manchester United, who is anxious to stabilize their performance, will naturally become the star on the media page The chasing character.

Even player renewals and salary increases always like to involve Manchester United.

For example, before the start of last season, Ancelotti's favorite central defender was Ramos instead of Hummels. At that time, Ramos was indeed flirting with Manchester United. The Red Devils first offered 4000 million euros to him. Real Madrid wanted to buy Ramos. After being rejected by Real Madrid, Manchester United once again reported a higher offer.To the surprise of Real Madrid, Real Madrid chairman Florentino and general manager Jose Sanchez met with Ramos and his agent René on Monday, and eliminated misunderstandings between them. "ABC" subsequently revealed that Ramos said he would not contact Manchester United again, and said, "I hope to stay in Real Madrid." Florentino said, "I hope you can retire in Real Madrid." Ramos offered a five-year contract with an annual salary of 1000 million euros, which was enough to satisfy Ramos.

The "Daily Mirror" pointed out that Ramos used the Red Devils as a means of negotiating a salary increase with Real Madrid, and the Spanish central defender also succeeded.A United insider, who did not want to be named, told the Daily Star: "The club believes he will leave Real Madrid and join us. We asked him to go public with his thoughts to speed up the transfer, but it seems He's been playing the game. We felt betrayed by Ramos, we became a bargaining chip in his negotiations with Real Madrid to get him a better contract and it looks like he's succeeded too. With his level and quality A player with a high status should not behave like this."

There is no doubt that Ramos played a trick on Manchester United in order to get more favorable terms when renewing his contract with Real Madrid, completely using Manchester United as a robbery.

Even this matter has affected the relationship between Manchester United and Real Madrid, the two giant clubs. Even when Real Madrid was preparing to negotiate with Manchester United on De Gea's transfer, Manchester United unilaterally closed the transfer negotiation channel as a counterattack.

In fact, not only Ramos, but Neymar in Barcelona and even Messi have had ambiguities with Manchester United in the contract year, and in the end they got a big contract as they wished.

However, there have been very few news about Manchester United's transfer this season. This is mainly because Ancelotti said in an interview that he is very satisfied with Manchester United's current lineup, which dispelled the enthusiasm of the media to a certain extent.

But is Ancelotti really satisfied with the current lineup?

Actually not necessarily.

In fact, Ancelotti has not been very satisfied with Manchester United's midfielder combination.He has always wanted to make some changes in this position, but there are actually so many player resources in his hands.

Cramer, Herrera and Fellaini have had more opportunities to play this season. Although Ancelotti is satisfied with the defensive strength of these three midfielders to some extent, but in the offensive On the one hand, these three defensive midfielders are obviously in the area of ​​​​organizing offense and attacking from the back, and it is still difficult to meet Ancelotti's needs.

And Carrick is the main substitute in this lineup. He often gets the opportunity to start the game, and there are many opportunities as a substitute. But if Carrick is only 25 years old now, Ancelotti can undoubtedly rest easy. , but now that Carrick is old after all, his movement speed and confrontation intensity will inevitably decline to varying degrees.

Ancelotti hopes to have a midfielder who is good at offense and defense, who is capable of physical confrontation, ball-holding advancement, offensive organization and even scoring.

It is naturally impossible for such an all-round midfielder to be bad.

So Ancelotti is going to wait and see in the transfer market.

Another point is that Ancelotti is also planning to introduce a player in terms of central defenders.

As the main force, the partners of Hummels and Rojo are actually enough, and if Smalling and Phil Jones are used as substitutes, there is actually no problem with this set of central defenders in the Premier League.

But Ancelotti is actually not particularly satisfied with Rojo's ability. He is still a jack-of-all-trades substitute for Rojo. He can play as a central defender or a left back.

So Ancelotti still wants a star-level central defender to partner with Hummels.

Therefore, Manchester United's main goals in this summer transfer window are in these two positions.

As for other positions, Ancelotti believes that there is no need for major changes for the time being.

Valencia is almost full attendance this season. The Ecuadorian player has plenty of energy and hasn’t suffered many injuries this season. In this position, Rafael is also a substitute for him. It’s a pity that Rafael failed to make money this season. No matter how many opportunities to play, I have already begun to think about it.But even so, Ancelotti doesn't have to worry too much about the right back position.

Manchester United's reserves at the left-back position are abundant, even a little redundant. Sandro was the main force last season. If nothing else, this season's main left-back is also Sandro. The substitutes include Luke Shaw, Brin De can also play this position, Rojo can also play this position, and even Ashley Young can play left back.

In the attacking lineup, Ancelotti is really very satisfied.

Center Li Qingshan is undoubtedly the core of the team. As long as he is in good physical condition and there is no red or yellow card suspension, it is impossible for Li Qingshan to be a substitute.

Mata and Di Maria on both sides have different styles, but their combination complements each other, and they are all players who are willing to serve as assistants to the core of the team, so there is no need to worry about them going back to compete for Li Qingshan's court dominance.

As for the substitute facelift on the offensive line, Ancelotti plans to keep Ashley Young, and at the same time promote youngsters Rashford and Lingard as team substitutes.

In this way, Manchester United does not need too much work in the transfer window. As long as the candidates requested by Ancelotti are in place, Manchester United can get a certain improvement on the basis of the original lineup. , I should be very confident in winning the Premier League championship in the new season.
