The Strongest Demon Front

Chapter 498 - Points gap widens



Among the 20 Premier League teams, Southampton is a special team. ◢ Follow ◢ Dream ◢ Small ◢

They are like Atlanta in Serie A.

Vigorously develop youth training, and the success rate of young players is very high.

They are constantly sending talents to the strong teams in the league, and they are “loved” by the giants.

Bell, Luke Shaw, Lovren, Lallana, Walcott, Chamberlain, Mane, Chambers, Wan Yama … and other stars are all produced by Southampton.

Nowadays, all the strong teams in the Premier League have set their sights on another talented player from Southampton.

Dutch defender, Southampton’s new captain Van Dijk.

Some people joked that Southampton handed the captain’s armband to Van Dijk in order to emulate Arsenal.

This may be because everyone knows that this player, Van Dijk, is destined not to belong to Southampton. And Southampton’s gesture of retaining Van Dijk was only to sell for the price and sell it at a high price.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool all want Van Dijk very much.

This is no secret.

However, Southampton’s pricing for Van Dijk still made these four teams feel a headache.

In the transfer market, the central defender’s record for the highest transfer fee is maintained by two players, David Louis and Stones.

In 2014, Puffy Head transferred from Chelsea to Paris Saint-Germain. The transfer fee was not announced. There are three versions, the highest is 5,000 pounds (Sky Sports) and the lowest is 40 million pounds (UK bbc).

Stones moved from Everton to Manchester City last summer at a transfer fee of up to £ 4,750.

And the £ 50 million that Manchester City offered to Van Dijk was still rejected by Southampton.

This means that if any team wants to successfully take away their captain from Southampton, the transfer fee spent is very likely to create a new guard transfer value record.

Perhaps it was stimulated by Chu Ge ’s 1.5 billion euro transfer fee. The value of the outstanding players in the transfer market is also rising.

Ferdinand, who wanted to have £ 30 million, was already sky-high.

Nowadays, what you can buy for 30 million pounds may be just the semi-finished products of Mangala.

In the Premier League in the first half of the season, Van Dijk played the data of the world’s top central defender.

Whether it is the number of headers and success rate, or steals, clearance, one-to-one success rate, Van Dijk is even more dazzling than the figures of Chiellini, Ramos and Tiago Silva, but The pass success rate is slightly weaker than Ramos.

Chiellini, Ramos, and sister-in-law are among the best central defenders in their respective leagues, and they are the best central defenders in the world.

The 25-year-old Van Dijk is quite close, even if he does not reach their standard.

No wonder Southampton will mark a high price.

In addition to being expensive, good things really have no shortcomings.

And Manchester United is a little embarrassed.

Because they have no money.

Too much investment in the summer transfer window has led to a lack of stamina for Manchester United.

After selling Deppe and Schneiderlin, Manchester United withdrew some funds, allowing Schweinsteiger to freely transfer to the American Major League after freeing up some salary space, but even so, they did not have enough funds to promote Van Dijk’s deal.

This is a bit embarrassing.

After learning of Southampton’s attitude, Ferguson was distressed.

Even if Van Dijk was marked with a high price, he did not want to give up trying to buy Van Dijk. However, due to financial problems, Ferguson had to consider alternatives.

If it is not possible to finalize Van Dijk in the winter transfer period, Manchester United still needs a strong central defender to join.

The problem of the team’s defense line is only exposed with the deepening of time, as the team’s physical fitness declines, and as the teams become familiar with Manchester United.

Escape does not solve the problem.

To achieve good results, Ferguson must find a way to solve the loopholes in the team’s defense.

Only in this way can the team’s performance be truly stable, and can there be hope for better results.

Time quickly flies through the whispers of the transfer parties.

On January 21st, it was time to start a new round of league games.

In this round, Manchester United unexpectedly turned over.

They lost to Potter Stoke City 01 on the road.

After a long wave of winning streak, Manchester United suffered a defeat for the first time.

After the game.

Ferguson accepted the defeat calmly.

“No team can win the entire season. It’s a shame that the ten-game winning streak was terminated, but that’s football. You may win a strong opponent, or you may lose on a relatively weak team. This It’s nothing.”

“The continuous game makes the players a little tired, and then my coaching staff and I will find a way to solve this problem.”

“The loss of this game may have been an accident, but it did reflect some of our back defense problems. In the 22nd round of the league, we are the only team in the first few players who are conceding goals. Continue like this.”

“If the defense work is not done well, the team will not say that it is difficult to compete with other teams for the championship, it is difficult to keep the second place.”

The media regarded Ferguson’s post-match statement as he was putting pressure on the club’s top management.

“Man United need a good central defender.”

After the Manchester Evening News defeated this game, it pointed out the most serious problem for Manchester United.

“We can’t ask Manchester United’s frontcourt players to do more. Chu has 17 goals and the top scorer list; Ibrahimovic has 14 goals and the scorer list is tied for third. Having such a powerful attacker is Manchester United’s luck. However, if the ball is If the number of goals conceded by the team has been high, Manchester United is destined to miss the league title this season. “

“Although the team’s results are already surprising, Manchester United supporters are undoubtedly eager to get more.”

“Because we are Manchester United.”

Manchester United star Scholes wrote in his column.

At this time, the London media is reporting.

“Chelsea beat Hull City with two goals, and their victory was unstoppable ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Manchester United lost, Chelsea won, Conte’s team ranked first!”

“The team led to the championship in the first year. How strong is Conte?”

The media sent hymns to Conte and his team.

Last season, Mu Chelsea in three years was in turmoil. At the end of the season, he ranked in the middle of the league and did not even qualify for the Europa League.

Who would have thought that changing a coach would make this team desperate.

This season, they are the team with the highest win rate in the league.

In the twenty-two round of the league, the score of fifty-five points made everyone amazed.

In addition to Manchester United’s defeat and Chelsea’s win in this round of the league, there is an unexpected news that has received widespread attention.
