Chapter 330 Trivia before the World Cup

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

The transfer market is booming.

The just-concluded 2021-2022 season came to an end with Manchester City winning the quadruple crown.

In the Premier League, Manchester City is first, Chelsea is second, Liverpool is third, and Leicester City is fourth.

However, Manchester United, which bought a lot of people in the summer of 2021, failed to enter the Champions League.

In La Liga, Real Madrid won the championship, and the city rival Atletico Madrid won the second place. No.3 is Villarreal. Messi's Barcelona season was turbulent at the beginning of the season, and it was also unstable in the middle. But fortunately, in the final stage of the season, Depay, Griezmann, and Aguero took turns to grab points and kept their qualification for the Champions League in the final round.

In Serie A, Juventus won the league championship, the runner-up was the Roma team after the blessing of Urinotori, and the No.3 was Atlanta. The continuous and stable top four has given this team the temperament of a strong team , and No.4 is AC Milan, after signing Dias and Isco successively in the summer of 2021, it also maintained the top four rankings.

On the other hand, Inter Milan, which won the championship before, fell directly to 9th after losing two forwards in one summer, and failed to enter the intercontinental competition.

It seems that the Nerazzurri are about to enter a new low.

Bayern is still the champion of the Bundesliga, No.2 is Leipzig, No.3 is the returning Schalke 04, No.4 is not Dortmund unexpectedly, but Frankfurt, Dortmund ranked fifth and missed the Champions League.

The reason is Haaland's problem, not that he did not perform well enough. In the first half of the Bundesliga, Haaland scored 19 goals, and his performance can be said to be very good. In December 2021, Manchester United once ranked low. At No. 12, there is little hope of being away from the top four, so Manchester United, who has cooperated with Raiola, decisively decided to sign Harland.

And Haaland finally went to Manchester United in the winter window of 2022. Dortmund, who lost Haaland, collapsed directly. From the second place in the Bundesliga in December, they were only 12 points away from Bayern, and fell out of the top four at the end of the season. , this can only be blamed on Dortmund's management for not being able to hold on.

Wang Yi couldn't figure it out. He couldn't sell it in the summer of 21 years. Why did he sell Dongchuang? Doesn't it affect the record?

And Manchester United, who bought Harland, also failed to enter the top four, but the points went from seventh to fifth. Although it is an improvement, this improvement is more like hitting Solskjaer in the face.

Therefore, in early June of 22, Solskjaer was fired by the Glazer family and replaced by Pochettino, who was fired by the Chiefs after a big loss in the Champions League final.

It's not right.

And Haaland's performance at Manchester United was not very good, especially in the same city derby when he met Manchester City in the second half of the season.

The battle between Wang Yi and Harland.

In the end, Wang Yi scored 3 goals, Haaland ended with 0 goals, and Manchester City also won the opponent 5-1. After this game, Haaland was even booed by the fans of Dream Theater to the point of autism.

"Didn't it mean that Premier League fans won't boo their own players?"

Harland thought helplessly at home that night.

In July, Arsenal under Diodona's control still failed to break into the top four, and finally only ranked fifth, but at the end of the 7-2020 season, Arsenal qualified for the Europa League.

Therefore, in the 21-22 season, Arsenal saved the country with a curve, won the Europa League championship, and finally became the fifth Premier League team to enter the Champions League. Arsenal fans were very satisfied and highly affirmed Diodona's work.

In the summer of 22, it was Arsenal that made the big signings.

After qualifying for the Champions League, many players who cannot be bought can also be bought. In addition, the appeal of Arsenal in England is quite strong, so 2 million euros were spent in one summer.

First bought Rice from West Ham United, then bought Werner who was frustrated at Chelsea, bought Bentancur from Juventus, and signed Skrinia from Inter Milan Er, also formed a good central axis.

In short, Wang Yi is very optimistic about Arsenal's operations this summer.

Back to Manchester City.

Four consecutive Champions League titles, the No. [-] team in history after the restructuring of the Champions League, such a crazy performance also made some players in the Manchester City team feel a little tired.

After the season ended, Kyle Walker found Tuchel and expressed his desire to leave the team.

In the 2021-22 season, the playing time of Walker and Cancelo is basically divided in half. Cancelo played more in the midfielder position before, but in the summer of 21, Manchester City finally signed Gretzka. Zika, Rodri and Fernandinho compete for a midfielder position, which can be said to be a very luxurious configuration, so Cancelo is playing more as a full-back, and this season Walker although Playing time with Cancelo is half-and-half, but in many important games, Cancelo started, which also made Walker feel dissatisfied. In addition, Arsenal has always wanted to buy a right back, although he was from Tottenham. Walker, but eventually followed in Campbell's footsteps and went to a place where he could play the main force.

As for the supplement of the right back, in the end, the American right back Dest from Barcelona was signed as a substitute. Since he didn't play much time in Barcelona, ​​he finally won 1500 million euros.

As for other positions, Fernandinho also announced that he will return to Brazil after the end of this season. His departure, in fact, the position of the midfielder is also well-staffed. Last season, Fernandinho's playing time was due to Gretz Card's arrival has been greatly compressed, so Tuchel and Wang Yi both expressed understanding for his departure.

Then there is the right side. In the 21-22 season, the main force of the right winger was from Sterling at the beginning to Bernardo Silva in November, and then he was snatched by Ferran Torres. By the beginning of the second half of the season in March, Sterling returned to the main position.

In this way, Bernardo Silva is heartbroken.

In fact, Bernardo Silva also had 40 appearances last season. Judging from the number of appearances, he is definitely considered the main force, but the problem is that Bernardo only started 17 times, and more of them were as As a substitute, even in these 40 appearances, only 23 appearances were played as a right winger, and 10 appearances were played as a right midfielder. This directly led to Bernardo wanting to go to a team that can give him a stable position.

Wang Yi also persuaded Bernardo Silva.

As a result, people directly said, I have enough championships, and now I want to go to a place with a main position. After all, the World Cup is only half a year away.
