ball at foot

Manchester United's sudden completion of two signings is indeed quite surprising.

In fact, according to Manchester United's habit, it is generally not in the middle of the season, that is, during the winter transfer period.Ferguson is a very cautious and perfect person. He usually likes to prepare his lineup completely at the beginning of the season. As a champion coach, this is indeed a very necessary ability.Manchester United's ability to dominate the Premier League for so many years has nothing to do with their thorough preparations before each season.

However, the loss of Manchester United this season is too great, and they have to sign up.Heinze's cruciate ligament injury, coupled with Alan Smith's broken leg problem, two players were scrapped at once, and Keane left the team, Manchester United's backcourt problems are quite big.

Now in Manchester United's backcourt, Van der Sar has made up for the goalkeeper's shortcomings, and Ferdinand is a pillar figure, but apart from the two of them, the other positions are not very reliable.Although Gary Neville's performance is still outstanding, he is not young after all, and players like Brown, O'Shea, and Richardson, who were once highly expected by fans, are far inferior to Class 92. Sylvester, who has problems playing as a central defender, has such a defensive line, which is simply the latest chapter of a super romantic student who is used to deceive people.

And this time, Ferguson is obviously making a big move, and is going to buy someone to fill the emptiness in the defense.A while ago, Zhao Yaning heard Evra mention that Manchester United’s plan to introduce him, but now, in addition to Evra, they also want to buy Lucio and Kompany in one go. Really amazing. [

Kompany has heard of Zhao Yaning a long time ago. He even participated in the European Golden Boy Award together with Zhao Yaning, and became famous early.His strength has always been recognized by many people, just because the environment of the Belgian league is a bit worse after all. Although his performance there is good, it is difficult to become the standard for judging strength. Therefore, although Manchester United Both Milan and Milan are very interesting to him, but they have never meant to buy him.

It's just that at this time, Manchester United's midfielder has too many problems.Alan Smith broke his leg and Keane was terminated. Now Manchester United, there is really no one available in the midfielder position.Their own O'Shea is a bit weaker in this position after all, and Park Ji-sung and Giggs have played in this position for a few games, but they are not very good.No one's plight forced Manchester United to buy players.

It's a pity that it is impossible for Manchester United's few players who want to introduce to come here now: Essien has already gone to Chelsea, so naturally there is no need to say more.And Ballack is in the second season of "renewing the contract in three months" with Bayern, and it is impossible to come to Manchester United.Even Carrick, the local player that Manchester United is interested in, who played for Tottenham, was told by Tottenham that it was impossible to transfer. The idea is their great pursuit. At this time, how can they easily sell players?

For these reasons, Ferguson had to buy Kompany: Although he may not be suitable or easy to use, at least he is willing to come, which is better than anything else.

In addition to the signings at the defensive midfielder position, they still have signings at the defender position: this decision to sign in is a decision that makes the fans cheer. It took too much trouble to find a good partner for Ferdinand, and it has been passed on for several years.

Ferdinand has always been considered England's top central defender, and even the world's top central defender.But what is his strength?Zhao Yaning always felt that he was not as good as the English boasted.

Yes, as a defender he is far more skilled than any other England defender.Compared with people like Terry, Campbell, and Carragher, he is indeed a person with delicate skills at his feet.But this delicacy is only limited to the level of English players.Compared with other top technical defenders in the world, it is much worse.There are very few dribblers, and few long passes to the frontcourt. In terms of technology, compared with the defenders in Serie A, he has a gap after all.

Of course, dribbling and long passing are not necessary defender skills.Being able to intercept the ball and pass the ball is enough for a defender.What's more, Ferdinand also has excellent physical fitness. Among the defenders, he has the top turning and chasing speed. Such speed and physical fitness are extremely important things among the defenders, and they are also things that make him a level above Carragher.

When not distracted, Ferdinand can also be called the top in the Premier League.

For a long time, he has not met any good partner at Manchester United.Not only the central defender's partner cheated, but the goalkeeper behind him also cheated.Manchester United's defense has always been a problem. It may be because they want to carry out tactical reforms and hope to replace a sweeper goalkeeper, but they can't find a good enough goalkeeper. Ferguson's adjustments have not been very big. Until In the summer, Ferguson bought Van der Sar, not with the attitude of long-term use, nor did he strengthen the defender.But unexpectedly, Van der Sar, who is in his 30s, played extremely well at Manchester United-in fact, he also has to thank his predecessor for his extremely bad performance, which made Manchester United give him more trust and tolerance. This gave him enough time and opportunity to adapt, and now that half a season has passed, he has gradually adapted to Manchester United's style of play, making the goalkeeper link no longer a problem, and Manchester United naturally want defenders.

In the summer, Manchester United also paid attention to Vidic, but Ferguson didn't make up his mind to start.It wasn't until Vidic arrived in Liverpool that Ferguson began to regret not being able to buy him early after he played well in Liverpool.It's too late to say anything now, they have to consider others.

For half a season, there have been many rumors that Manchester United wants to buy a defender, but the person who bought it turned out to be Lucio, which still makes people feel a little surprised.

The defender Lucio... Zhao Yaning thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't judge the strength of this defender.

Generally speaking, when it comes to central defenders, people praise European defenders more.The offensive players in South America are indeed excellent, but the defensive players always give people a feeling that they are not strong enough.

And the position of defender, generally speaking, everyone has a consensus: the defender in Serie A is the best, because Serie A pays the most attention to defense, focusing on defensive tactics, and the defender can also be more brilliant.

Therefore, when everyone talks about good defenders, they all go to see those defenders who play for the top giants in Serie A.And because of Inter Milan's poor record all year round, generally speaking, the defenders of Milan and Juventus are considered representatives of good defenders.

And Lucio... a Brazilian who plays football in the Bundesliga, and is often criticized by various media for not being stable enough to play football, and often has the problem of missing people. The strength of such a defender is still very doubtful.

But if you think about it carefully: Needless to say, Lucio's physical fitness is almost the top speed and confrontation ability among defenders. Even compared with Drogba, he is not inferior.As far as technical ability is concerned, the defense is clean and mature, and he has a strong forward ability, and his dribbling ability is definitely at the top level among central defenders. Compared with any defender, he is not inferior technically.And when it comes to the most serious problem that he was accused of going forward too much and being reckless, Zhao Yaning thought about it carefully. It seems that apart from directly assisting Owen to break through the goal of Brazil in the 2002 World Cup, it seems that he has not had any major problems. The contest performance went wrong.

A top central defender, he is absolutely unambiguous about big things, and occasionally reckless in small things. This is Zhao Yaning's impression of him. [

It's just that he doesn't know whether the Northwest Derby is a big or a small thing in his eyes.

Zhao Yaning can't tell whether this deal is good or bad-in the second half of the season, Liverpool will meet Bayern in the Champions League, and he and Lucio will meet sooner or later, but he doesn't know whether it will be in the Champions League or the league.

In fact, this has to be said to be a great advantage for Manchester United when signing this year: Evra, Lucio, and even Anderlecht's Kompany, all played in the Champions League players.If Manchester United is still in the Champions League, they probably won't be cruel enough to buy these people.However, Manchester United was accidentally eliminated in the Champions League this year. Anyway, there will be no Champions League matches in the second half of the year. There is no need to consider these things. Naturally, it is much more convenient to sign in.

After this deal was completed, people discovered that after making up for the shortcomings in the backcourt, Manchester United's strength is no worse than that of Liverpool.When the two teams clash, it is not certain who will win and who will lose.

The core of Manchester United's frontcourt has now been transferred to Ronaldinho. In the past two and a half seasons, he has been constantly learning, gradually learning how to run the ball, and being able to insert into the middle to find opportunities to grab points , and more, being able to cross positions with teammates can make the frontcourt attack smoother.And their two forwards: Saha and Rooney have the same characteristics. They have a wide range of activities, fast speed, good ball handling, and can retreat to create gaps for Ronaldinho. The three players in Manchester United's frontcourt now have The ability to turn the ball around and form a breakthrough in a one-on-one situation greatly increases their chances.

And Giggs also took the lead in completing his role change this season: because Manchester United had no one available for the first half of the season, Giggs was forced to play as a midfielder for half a season, and gradually began to find himself positioning.He despised the previous style of relying on speed and explosive power, and began to try to run more freely and flexibly, giving full play to his advantages in ball handling, passing, vision, and experience.After Manchester United's backcourt gets the ball, quickly hand it over to the frontcourt from him, relying on the crossover and free movement of the frontcourt players to quickly complete the attack, this idea is indeed very good.

And when they couldn't start the situation, Giggs and Ronaldinho all returned to the midfield, and gave up the two sides to Neville and Evra, who were very capable of crossing from the bottom, and opened them up through the sides. Width, open depth, and then center Saha, second center Rooney, and Ronaldo who cut inside formed three outflanking points in the opponent's penalty area, trying to create opportunities.

Such a tactic is quite good.Although they abandoned Ruud Ruud, it seemed that the knife was cut deeply, but after this knife, Manchester United's strength has indeed increased.

But in this game, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.
