Chapter 487 Deputy Captain
Before the start of the new season, Yang Xiaozhuang, as the captain of Manchester United and the veteran of the "Red Devils Elderly Association", held a locker room meeting in the locker room. This time, Yang Xiaozhuang directly established a new rule... the captain candidate!
As the core organization of Manchester United's locker room, the "Red Devils Elderly Club" must have absolute say in the locker room, which will directly give veteran players greater influence on the field. Therefore, in this case, the captain of Manchester United must be a member of the Elderly Club, and determine the team's captain, deputy captain, captain No. 3, captain No. 4 based on the players' votes... and so on!
After Herrera left the team, not only did she have the position of Manchester United as deputy captain, but also reduced the number of personnel of the "Red Devils Elderly Club" to four, namely Yang Xiaozhuang, De Gea, Tuanzebe and Martial.
At present, the biennial "Red Devils Elderly" election is not yet ongoing, so the main purpose of this locker meeting is to determine the team's deputy captain.
After all the elections, they cannot be out of the category of "Red Devils Elderly Club". The final election result is a bit unexpected... Tuanzebe, who is only 22 years old, was elected as the vice captain of Manchester United, while De Gea, who is 29 years old, only became the third captain of the team, and Martial, who is 24 years old, became the fourth captain of the team.
Tuan Zebe, who has never been revealed, actually became the team's deputy captain. This is really a bit unexpected, but... it is reasonable.
Tuanzebe and Rashford have a very good personal relationship. They have a deep friendship, but the two people have the opposite personalities. One is selfish and the other is full of enthusiasm and selfless. I think it is because their personalities are completely different that two people can pee in the same pot. Otherwise, if they have the same personality as Rashford, then these two people will not be together at all.
The helpful Tuanzebe has very good personnel in the team. If it weren't for his personal talent that he could not reach Yang Xiaozhuang's level, he might have become the captain of Manchester United.
Solskjaer was still very satisfied with the election results of the "Red Devils Elderly Society"... Yang in China was the captain, and Tuanzebe was the deputy captain. These two kids were the best partners one after another!
One is responsible for leading the team to attack the city and the other is responsible for stabilizing one's defense line and providing a basic guarantee for the team to win. This combination is simply perfect!
The third captain is De Gea, and the fourth captain is Martial... That's good, don't look like our "Red Devils" are very xenophobic. As long as foreign players are dedicated to playing for the team, they will have a chance to stand out in the team!
On August 8, Manchester United's first "semi-official" game of the new season came... Community Shield Cup!
This year's Community Shield Cup was held between Manchester United and Arsenal, the old enemies. This summer's transfer period, the Gunners not only did not strengthen, but also made more than 20 million pounds in the transfer market. This is also because they only qualified for the UEFA Cup and no urge to invest in the transfer market.
Then in this case... Why should the "Gunner" challenge the "Red Devil"?
At Wembley Stadium, after 90 minutes of the game, Manchester United won three goals with Yang Xiaozhuang's "second score" and Martial's goal, winning the Community Shield Cup for three consecutive years.
Three days later, Manchester United rushed to Austria and played a European Super Cup with Sevilla, who won the UEFA Cup again, but the result was not unexpected. The "Red Devils" who far surpassed their opponents had a "second score" from Yang Xiaozhuang, coupled with the goals of Tuanzebe and Joe Reilly, easily defeated their opponents with a score of 4:0, winning the European Super Cup for three consecutive years.
Although the European Super Cup is not valuable, Manchester United is able to win games for three consecutive years, which proves the position of the "Red Devils" as the European overlord... Manchester United is the strongest team in Europe!
After winning the Community Shield Cup and the European Super Cup, Manchester United began to devote all their energy to the upcoming Premier League, and the English media have also begun to analyze the existing lineups of the Premier League and predict the possible situation in the new season of the Premier League.
"This season, Guardiola spent 200 million in the transfer market, strengthening Manchester City's offense and defense respectively. Although Rashford's joining seems to be a big deal that weakens the competitors and strengthens his own good deal, it is still unknown whether he can integrate well into Guardiola's tactics. However, Alaba's joining can now be confirmed to strengthen Manchester City's weak defense line. He is the kind of super defender who can bring overall improvement to a team's defense line. Whether Manchester City can win in the new season depends on how Guardiola plays a good hand in his hand. Of course, whether Haaland, as the leading scorer, can continue his efficiency and even further attack on China Yang will also determine how much improvement Manchester City will improve."
"Chelsea has invested a lot of money again in the summer transfer. The investment of more than 300 million pounds will give the Blues an unprecedented competitiveness this season. As the third place last season, Yaldim's team will launch the strongest challenge to Manchester United and Manchester City this time."
"Liverpool once again spent a lot of money to help Klopp rebuild the team's midfield and frontcourt. Even Gretzka surpassed his former teammate Alaba with £110 million and became the transfer bell this summer. I believe that Liverpool, who has recreated Gretzka, Keita and Henderson, a world-class midfielder, will have strong competitiveness again, and they are even qualified to challenge any Premier League team."
"As the defending champion, Manchester United did not make a big investment in this summer's transfer period, but instead, they made profits from the transfer market by selling Rashford, just like in the previous two seasons. But what we cannot ignore is that Manchester United's hematopoietic function is very powerful. There are many talented players from all over the world in the Manchester United youth training camp in Carrington. Among these young people, it is likely that the talents Manchester United needs will appear in the future. The "Red Devils" are not without investment, but the direction of investment is different from other teams. In the new season, there may be some talented players such as Rayford, Adam Myers, and English in Manchester United who will shine and be surprised by it."
Although the new season has not yet begun, the English media have long recognized that the Premier League champion this season will be born among four teams, including Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, and defending champion Manchester United.
It’s not that the English media looked down on other teams. In fact, this summer’s transfer period, there are only Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool’s transfer investments exceed 100 million, and the following is Leicester’s 36 million pounds, which is less than a fraction of the transfer investments of these three companies!
