Episode [037]: Premier League, Princes Melee!

In South Africa, Liege is in the sky and the temperature is scorching.

An old man with a red nose is sitting under a sun umbrella, holding a list in his hand, and looking at it quietly.

"You're so quick, you recruited so many newcomers all at once!" The red-nosed old man looked at the information in his hand, and said with infinite generosity.

"Yeah, Leeds United are moving too fast, we have to quicken our pace!" Suddenly, a voice came out next to the old man, saying.

"Carlos, do you think so too?" said the red-nosed old man.

The guy named Carlos immediately said: "Yes, Jazz, now our Manchester United team is full of rumors of leaving the team, but there are no signings. The fans are very nervous!"

Yes, these two are really Manchester United's head coach Alex Ferguson and assistant coach Carlos Queiroz, who brought Manchester United to South Africa.

This summer, Manchester United's warm-up plan is to tour South Africa.

There are three games for the Red Devils Manchester United in South Africa. In two days, Manchester United will usher in their first warm-up match in South Africa against the Orlando Pirates.

The game was organized and operated by VODACOM, the joint venture subsidiary of Manchester United's former chest advertising sponsor Vodafone in South Africa. Manchester United will first face the local powerhouse Orlando Pirates at 15:35 local time and July 15. Team.

The venue is the Absa Stadium in Durban.

After that, they have two more matches in South Africa.

What Alex Ferguson is holding in his hands is the list of signings for Leeds United this summer, which reads Luca Toni, Joaquin, Kompany, Tevez, Mascherano, Gareth ... Bale and Edinson Cavani.

To be honest, there is only one name Ferguson has never heard of in this list, and that is Edinson Cavani. She has heard of the others, and several of them Alex Ferguson also watched Those who have won the prize also want to import it.

No wonder Alex Ferguson lamented that Zhong Cheng was quick.

Alex Ferguson said directly: "This damn lunatic has really good eyesight, this time he has dug a treasure again!"

Carlos Queiroz's gaze was fixed on Joaquin, Joaquin is definitely a treasure, Zhong Cheng was really lucky to introduce Joaquin.

Carlos Queiroz immediately said: "However, this season, Leeds United has lost the main players such as Huntelaar, Lennon and Milner, which has a great impact on their strength. These newcomers may not be able to adapt Their tactical system, Crazy Loya is trying to kill him!"

Alex Ferguson also nodded, and he thought so too.

Originally, the success of Leeds United last season has attracted the attention of all the teams in the Premier League. Everyone is studying them crazily, treating them as imaginary enemies, and thinking about how to deal with you all day long. This is a very scary thing, and now you even sell your main players. Isn't this making yourself more difficult and courting death?

In Alex Ferguson's view, Zhong Cheng should try his best to keep all the main players of Leeds United, and then make some reinforcements, so they will be fine in the new season. The most fearful thing is that Leeds United, like all small teams in the past, after a successful season, all the good players in the second season will be poached by other teams, and the team will collapse on its own.

Alex Ferguson always thought that Zhong Cheng was a very smart person, but he didn't know that Zhong Cheng also foolishly embarked on this path. It seemed that he took it too seriously.

This season, Zhong Cheng made a fortune in the transfer market. Now the black shop of Leeds United is very famous, and the players they sell are very expensive, and they are simply stealing money.

However, Alex Ferguson believes that Leeds United will not be happy for long, and they will definitely suffer a big fall in the new season.

Alex Ferguson nodded and said: "Luka Toni and Huntelaar are not the same type of center forward. It's hard to say that he can adapt to Leeds United's tactical system. Crazy Loya, this move is a move. Wrong!"

Alex Ferguson thought to himself, it seems that the Red Devils Manchester United will have one less competitor in the new season.

However, the Premier League in the new season is very fierce. Not only Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Leeds United, but also Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and the newly promoted local team Sheffield Wednesday. The competition for the Premier League this season will be extremely fierce.

However, at this time, Leeds United took the initiative to fall behind, which is a good thing.

However, Alex Ferguson did not completely relax his vigilance against Leeds United. He did not think Zhong Cheng was a fool. So I'm still a little worried.

However, Alex Ferguson is very confident about himself: "Obviously, Leeds United will spend more time in the new season to run-in the lineup. After they run-in the lineup, our Manchester United team is already one in the standings Qi Juechen is gone. If you want to catch up again, it will be impossible!"

The corners of Alex Ferguson's mouth raised slightly, with a confident smile on his face.

━━━Separation line━━━

In London, England, the sky was dark and it looked like it was going to rain.

At the Arsenal team's training base, Wenger was standing on the sidelines of the training field in sportswear, but his eyes were not on the field, but on the information in his hand.

Standing beside him was his assistant, Pat Rice, a slightly plump guy with a round face.

Pat Rice naturally knew what Arsene Wenger was looking at? Isn't this the list of signings for Leeds United for the new season?

After Leeds United won the championship last season, Arsene Wenger's attitude towards Leeds United is obviously different. Arsene Wenger is paying more and more attention to Leeds United, and regards them as an important competitor of Arsenal, just like Manchester United and Chelsea.

Wenger will attach so much importance to a signing from Leeds United now.

Looking at the list in his hand, Arsene Wenger frowned, he couldn't figure it out. Arsene Wenger said to Peter Rice beside him: "These players introduced by Leeds United are very distinctive players, but is this not suitable for Leeds United's tactical system? Is the team going to change the tactical system?"

Pat Rice shook his head directly and said: "This is unlikely. Changing the tactical system is a very difficult and complicated matter. It is quite risky to do so. At this time, Leeds United can't afford this risk! "

Arsene Wenger also nodded when he heard the words, and he also felt that it was impossible.

However, if this is not the case, it would be a bit risky for Zhong Cheng to introduce these people. Especially Luca Tony, this is not the same type of player as Huntelaar. Can he replace Huntelaar and play the role Huntelaar played in Leeds United?

To be honest, when it comes to Huntelaar, Arsene Wenger feels very sorry. Had they known that Huntelaar was going to be sold, their Arsenal team should have made an early move to get Huntelaar in their pocket. Huntelaar is a striker with outstanding strength. If Huntelaar hadn't been suspended for so many games last season, Huntelaar must have been the top scorer in the Premier League last season. What is his state? Can't stop it.

And Huntelaar was also the top scorer in the UEFA Cup last season, this guy is very outstanding. Just to replace Bergkamp's position.

Arsenal's Bergkamp will soon retire, and Arsene Wenger originally replaced Bergkamp with Robin van Persie. However, after seeing Huntelaar, Arsene Wenger felt that Huntelaar was more suitable, because this guy is the guarantee of scoring goals.

And Van Persie is still immature now, and Arsenal will not give Van Persie as many opportunities to grow and accumulate experience like Leeds United. Therefore, Van Persie, who was ahead of Huntelaar before, was overtaken by Huntelaar, and fell far behind.

Alex Ferguson has been thinking that if the positions of Van Persie and Huntelaar were swapped at the beginning, it is impossible to say that Van Persie will be more powerful than the current Huntelaar. To put it bluntly, Arsene Wenger is still more willing to believe his own vision.

Arsene Wenger believes that the reason why Van Persie is not as good as Huntelaar now is that they did not give Van Persie a chance like Leeds United gave Huntelaar a chance.

However, Huntelaar has really grown up now. Arsene Wenger is still a little envious of Sheffield Wednesday, why did they get Huntelaar away? Moreover, Arsene Wenger is not clear, how did the lunatic Loya send Huntelaar away?

Does Zhong Cheng want to send Huntelaar away? of course not. It was Huntelaar who made the noise and wanted to leave, but he couldn't help it. Zhong Cheng didn't know what ecstasy soup Sheffield gave Huntelaar on Wednesday?

Arsene Wenger said: "It seems that Leeds United will be greatly affected in the new season. I don't think they will become our competitors, right?"

Arsene Wenger looked at Leeds United's signing list again, and then nodded firmly, he strengthened his judgment.

Pat Rice nodded and echoed: "Yes, the madman Loya made a mistake. He is completely digging his own grave. In the new season, Leeds United should not become our competitors! "

Although Pat Rice said so, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. As if he himself thought that what he said was wrong, it looked awkward.

Taking another look at the transfer list in his hand, Arsene Wenger sighed.

Now, his life is also very difficult. Because of Ashley Cole, he barely kept Ashley Cole last season. But this season can't be kept, Ashley Cole is going to get married.

Ashley Cole is getting married with actress Cheryl. Cheryl has been urging Ashley Cole to move away, and she was urging last season. Ashley Cole has now had a showdown with Arsene Wenger, who must leave Arsenal this season.

Although Ashley Cole is a very bad thing, Zimbonda has been in the Arsenal team for a season, and his performance is still very good. After Ashley Cole left, the Arsenal team did not But people. Therefore, at this time, he could only let Ashley Cole leave.

Before Ashley Cole left, England's legendary central defender Campbell also left the England team. Campbell left on a free transfer. The place he went to was Sheffield Wednesday. In the new season, he will form a central defender partner with Stam , Sheffield Wednesday is really menacing.

Arsene Wenger couldn't help saying with emotion: "In the new season, the Premier League is really a melee!"
