Chapter 274 News of coming to Hong Kong

However, this topic has not been the focus for a long time. People's attention is mainly focused on two things. One is the final of the UEFA Champions League. After a fierce competition, Liverpool and AC Milan finally defeated their opponents and entered the final of the UEFA Champions League. The two teams will have a direct confrontation in the final.

This is an extremely anticipated showdown!

In 2005, both sides of the finals were Liverpool and AC Milan. In that game, Liverpool created the "Istanbul Myth Night". With three goals behind, Liverpool only took 6 minutes to turn the situation around and finally defeat AC Milan in a penalty shootout to win.

That has become the greatest reversal in Champions League history!

Two years later, the two teams meet again on the same stage. What will happen this time? Will Liverpool continue its glory, or will AC Milan achieve revenge and become the European champion?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Another concern is in the transfer market. As the season is about to end, various transfer news is also coming. Every club has a lot of related news. For example, Manchester United, who has "lost again" this season, will make big moves in the transfer market.

"Our front line needs speed." Manchester United coach Ferguson pointed out the focus of the "reform" of the front line in one sentence.

Etoo or Michael Irving?

Judging from the current news, Irving is more likely.

Irving's contract states that once a club bids 9 million pounds, Newcastle must let go, and Ferguson, who just won the championship, is obviously full of confidence. The Express article said that it will not destroy the good relationship between Manchester United and Newcastle, so Ferguson plans to increase the bid to 11 million pounds, so that Newcastle United can charge 2 million pounds more and Irving can leave relatively smoothly.

The forward line is a candidate, and Manchester United midfield signings are also in progress.

Hagreeves' acquisition was blocked, and Manchester United immediately introduced a second-hand plan. According to some large media, Manchester United star C-Ronaldo will personally take action to persuade his compatriot Deko to join Manchester United.

Half a year ago, the two had the opposite roles. At that time, Deco persuaded C-Ronaldo to join Barcelona. Barcelona is not in good condition now, and C-Ronaldo took the opportunity to win over Deco.

With C-Ronaldo's successful rise in Manchester United and Queros' power increasing, Portuguese players have become a hot spot in Manchester United's eyes. In addition to Deco, Sporting Lisbon's Nani and Benfica winger Simon are both on Manchester United's signing list.

As Manchester United's archenemy in the city, Manchester City won the league championship for two consecutive seasons, which is naturally the focus of attention. Manchester City's performance is gorgeous. News is also indispensable. The most important news is the Thai consortium's investment in Manchester City's club. At the same time, Manchester City has received a lot of attention in signings and transfers.

Torres, Anelka!

One is ready to enter and the other is ready to exit. The names of these two players alone overshadow all Manchester United's transfer news.

Torres performed very well at Atletico Madrid. He is the captain and star of Atletico Madrid. He is also the main striker of the Spanish national team. He is intimately called the "Spanish Golden Boy" by Spanish media fans.

Such a star is enough to be called a "superstar". His transfer is undoubtedly very popular. Currently, the closest ones to him are Premier League teams - Manchester City and Liverpool. Compared with that, Manchester City is more competitive.

In terms of financial resources and the attractiveness of the head coach, Manchester City has a great advantage. According to media analysis, even without the Thai consortium's investment, Manchester City can easily spend more than 30 million pounds of transfer funds to invest in the transfer market, not to mention. Judging from Manchester City's series of actions, they must be preparing to sell Anelka. Anelka's value is no lower than Torres, so Manchester City has a more advantage in financial resources.

As for the head coach, Wansheng trains young people, or in other words, Wansheng is famous for cultivating players' abilities. As long as the players favored by Wansheng, they will almost perform well.

At this point, Benitez was gone. Among the Spanish players he introduced, only Xavi Alonso was still performing well, such as Louis Garcia and Josemi performed very well and did not shine much in the Premier League.

Therefore, Manchester City is more attractive than Liverpool in terms of financial resources and head coach.

However, in terms of the attractiveness of the club, Liverpool, as a century-old nobleman, is definitely more attractive.

Of course, these need to be considered by Torres himself.

Another major transfer news for Manchester City is the news mentioned above that it is preparing to sell Anelka. Although Manchester City clubs did not clearly state that they would sell their leading scorers, but from the various clubs, Anelka's agent brother kept wandering among major clubs, and Manchester City did not stand up to express anything, that is to say, Anelka would basically leave.

Before the season ends, they are preparing to sell their leading scorers, which is difficult for many media to understand. What's more, after two seasons, Manchester City's economic situation has improved, and they seem to be not short of money.

But it is not surprising to think about Wansheng’s ‘past’ style.

The season when he coached Derby County into the Premier League, Derby County sold Cahill. Cahill played for Manchester City for one season and was the best scorer in the League One at that time. As a result, when Derby County entered the Premier League, Cahill left Derby County and went to Everton.

Last season, Manchester City sold captain Distin after winning the championship.

Last season, Disney performed quite well. She was a heavyweight star in Manchester City's backcourt and a leading player of Manchester City. Especially due to her age and other reasons, Disney was strong and her value was not high, but Manchester City still chose to sell Disney.

Many media and fans do not understand this. Some people believe that Manchester City chose to sell Disney in order to "pave the way" for other players. As it turns out, this is quite successful. His captainship was replaced by Morris, and Morris became the team's spiritual leader, the most core and key player of the team. His departure also made Kopelle Ferreira officially become the regular player and had a very strong performance on the court. His partner with Dunn became the most stable central defender combination in the Premier League last season.

Distin's departure was surprising, but the result was still very good, so now when Anelka was about to leave, there were few oppositions.

Media, fans can refer to Disney's departure and make some judgments - Manchester City is trying hard to introduce Atletico Madrid star Torres. If Torres can join Manchester City, there will definitely be players. It is difficult for this player to give way to Darren Bent, because Darren Bent is still very young. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that he will be a pillar-level forward player in the future and will become the future of England, so it is only Anelka who gives way to him.

Although Anelka is the top scorer of the Premier League this season, so what? Manchester City does not lack players who can score goals, not to mention that Anelka is so valuable, his departure is also in line with Manchester City's past transfer strategies.

The media is looking forward to how much Anelka can sell for, which will undoubtedly be an extremely heavyweight transfer. Anelka may also become the benchmark of this summer's transfer market.

Just as the media discussed, Manchester City was still training in an orderly manner.

They have two games left, one in the league against Tottenham Hotspur and the other in the FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Both games are very important.

The match with Tottenham Hotspur will give the team a chance to complete the unbeaten feat of the season, while the game with Chelsea is related to the FA Cup championship. Both games must be paid attention to every game, so Manchester City does not have the same atmosphere as other teams, and the atmosphere in the team is also very serious.

The players consciously trained carefully, and Wan Sheng also asked the entire team to forget the coming holiday and devote themselves to the intense preparations.

At this moment, Wan Sheng received a message that Kevin Tagore called and told him directly.

"Wan Sheng, the Hong Kong Football Association wants to invite you to be the coach of the Hong Kong football team and lead the team to participate in the Asian Cup in July."

“…??”

Wan Sheng was a little confused.

In my impression, the Hong Kong team is not very strong. It should be because they have not qualified in the Asian Cup qualifiers. Even if they have completed the Asian Cup qualifiers, there is no reason to invite themselves as head coaches to lead the team.

Kevin Tagore explained the reason.

In this Asian Cup qualifier, the qualifiers of Hong Kong team in China were also very surprised. They still passed the Asian Cup qualifiers. They were assigned to the same group as the UAE, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Yemen and Singapore. Finally, under the leadership of head coach Li Xinqing, the Hong Kong team in China achieved the second place in the group.

Although it is the second in the group, since this Asian Cup was jointly organized by four countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, the four countries first occupied four places, so the second in the group still needed to compete with the second in other groups to make a quota. In the end, the Hong Kong team in China still lost in the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Later, as the head coach of the "Father of Hong Kong Football Youth Training", Li Xinxiang also resigned from his position as head coach due to physical reasons.

This was the case, but in April, the Syrian political and military crisis broke out, and the domestic anti-mobile forces formed a group with the regular army. As a result, the Syrian national team decided to withdraw from the final circle of this Asian Cup.

Then, the Hong Kong team in China replaced Syria and entered the Asian Cup finals with great luck.

This was good news, but head coach Li Xinxiang is still in hospital and cannot lead the team again. Hong Kong Football Association will find another head coach who can lead the team to participate in the Asian Cup. (To be continued.)
