Chapter 477 The Winter Window
Manchester United played 12 games throughout December. With such a dense schedule and constant injuries, although Manchester United still achieved a complete victory, they did not have the super strength they had at the beginning of the season.

In the game, even in the 8th tie in the League Cup, Manchester United almost capsized against Bristol City.

The opponent was beaten 2-1 in the first half.

In the 60th minute, Ye Tian took the initiative to ask for a fight and replaced him. Like a god descending from the earth, he scored twice and added an assist, beheading his opponent and helping Manchester United pass the test.

But the fatigue of the whole team has been written on the face.

Carrick heart attack, Fellaini knee injury, Bailly a glass man, good and bad injuries, haven't played a few games this season, Smalling groin strain, Valencia hamstring strain .

With a series of injuries on the Manchester United injury list, they seem to need the winter window to open.

However, after the opening of the winter window, fans did not see any action from Manchester United, which only made Lindelof and Matic two signings in the 2017 summer window.

Griezmann, who was rumored with Manchester United before, has no voice, and it is rumored that the German Kroos is very popular with Mourinho. Pogba has gone to Real Madrid. Why can't Kroos come to Manchester United?
And Bale, who suffered from vitreous physique in Real Madrid, returned to the Premier League, who said he couldn't become a great saint again?Moreover, his influence on Manchester United in the international market is also an improvement. The only problem is that he is a left-footed player, and Manchester United already has two young talents, Rashford and Martial. Combat power?

If the left side is overcrowded, Manchester United's right side is actually born with a disability.

Mata, Lingard, etc. are not authentic right midfielders, and Valencia can no longer ask him to fly up and down.Ivan Perisic had a scandal with Manchester United during the summer window, but it ended without a problem.Who says you can't keep chasing?
And Manchester United's left-back position.

Ashley Young is currently in charge, and like Valencia, Ferguson's legacy.Luke Xiao has not awakened yet.

Last year, it was rumored that Manchester United had considered China's Yu Fei, but in the end it failed to take shape. Seeing Yu Fei's performance in Liverpool, Manchester United must have been ruined.

Juventus giant Alex Sandro is very suitable for Manchester United, but considering Juventus's offer of Pogba back then, and Pogba's performance later, there is still some embarrassment in the hearts of Manchester United.

There are constant rumors coming and going on Manchester United's side, and Liverpool's biggest melon in the winter transfer window broke out.

In January 2017, Liverpool and Coutinho signed a five-year long-term contract, and Coutinho received the club's maximum salary of 1 pounds per week.Afterwards, Kubird vowed: "I am very happy to sign a new contract here. This is a club I am extremely grateful for. I am very happy here. I will double my work to prove myself. I signed a new contract. To continue playing here for many years is a great honor for me."

Then, in the summer of that year, Neymar switched to Paris at a sky-high price, and Barcelona immediately issued an invitation to Kutiao.Ku Niao immediately forgot all about the vows he made a few months ago.

Under Klopp's insistence, his July summer window transfer failed to take place.

But because of this transfer and some injuries, Coutinho missed the first few games of Liverpool's new season.

Fortunately, after returning to the team, the Brazilian still showed a dazzling performance.

In an interview with "Goal Net", Coutinho said: "I am calm, the transfer incident has passed. I am staying at Liverpool now, and I will do my best to defend the honor of the team."

Moreover, Klopp also handed over the captain's armband to the Brazilian.

Everything seems to be back on track.

But in the football world, loyalty is sometimes not worth mentioning in front of dreams, money, and fame.

With breakneck speed, Coutinho submitted a transfer request and an agreement was struck at club level.

Asked about the transfer, Klopp said: "It's no secret, Coutinho has wanted to complete this transfer since July [2017], when Barca made it public for the first time. Their interest in Coutinho. Coutinho was very insistent on that, for me, for the owner, even for his teammates, he was desperate to go to Barcelona."

"Fans are going to be disappointed, but sometimes you have to accept it, it's part of football, it's part of life - everyone has their own dreams and goals in life. Players come in, players leave, it's It's football. But as a club, when we are strong enough, we can continue to be aggressive on the pitch, even if we lose an important player. We take the moment and move on."

Coutinho, officially ended his Liverpool career.

In the January 2013 transfer window, Liverpool used £1 million from Meazza to bring Coutinho, who was then a substitute, to Anfield. Afterwards, Coutinho began to become the core of the Red Army and a world-class attacker step by step. .

2012-13赛季出场13次打进3球7助攻；

2013-14赛季出场37次打进5球8助攻；

2014-15赛季出场52次打进8球6助攻；

2015-16赛季出场43次打进12球7助攻；

2016-17赛季出场36次打进14球9助攻；

2017-18赛季出场18次打进12球8助攻。

Faced with such a betrayal, the Red Army fans angrily took out Coutinho's jersey and burned it.

The club also compensated their fans. Every fan who bought Coutinho's jersey can come to the club to exchange for a £50 voucher.

The anger of Liverpool fans will be tempered by time.

After all, there is a month in the winter window, and all kinds of non-stop melons will appear. During this month, the Premier League will also continue.

As the game progressed, before the end of January, various transfers began to come to an end, and fans in other markets were also dumbfounded at the moment watching the various operations of the Premier League teams in this winter transfer window.

Liverpool, 1.2 million euros to transfer Coutinho to Barcelona, ​​7880 million euros took Van Dijk from Southampton.

After the high-priced transfer last year, the Chinese Super League has restrained itself a little this year and only took away French striker Bakambu from Villarreal for 4000 million euros.

Arsenal, who have always been trembling, brought Aubameyang from Dortmund for 6375 million euros.Moreover, they sent Giroud to Chelsea.

Arsenal's personnel changes have become very frequent, and it looks like someone is cleaning up to leave and prevent the team from going the same way as Manchester United.

And the big deal that Manchester United fans have been waiting for has finally arrived.

Manchester United's Mkhitaryan and Arsenal's Sanchez swap clubs.

In this transaction, the two parties did not spend a penny.

It seems that Manchester United already has some fear in the Pogba deal.

However, Mourinho did not reinforce the defense line that was full of injured soldiers, but made an equivalent replacement of the frontcourt, and also loaned Tuanzebe, the best player of the youth team last season, to Aston Villa. pull.

In fact, Manchester United's defense has always been injured. Bailly seems to be unable to get rid of the glass man attribute, and Carrick's body seems to no longer adapt to professional football. But as long as there are no major injuries, Manchester United's defense is sufficient.

With the return of Fellaini and others from injury, Manchester United returned to the previous state in January. Four league games, all clean opponents, one FA Cup, 1-3 win, conceded goals in two League Cup games In the semi-finals, but considering that the opponent is Manchester City, it is nothing new to score 0 goals in two games. After all, they scored 3 goals against Manchester City in two games.

From the current point of view, Manchester United's defense does not seem to be a big problem in dealing with the domestic arena.

So, what about the European competition?Can they still maintain this defensive posture?
Can their offense still be sharp?

In February, the battle in the European arena was rekindled, and the UEFA Champions League entered the two-round knockout stage of the round of 2. Manchester United's first knockout game was on February 16, an away game against Sevilla.

Before that, Tottenham drew 2-2 with Juventus away, Manchester City beat Basel with 4 goals away, Liverpool beat Porto with 5 goals away, and Chelsea drew 1-1 with Barcelona at home.

The Premier League team has not lost.

It depends on Manchester United, who was the last to play.

　Dichlorvos: I always communicated a lot of things in the early morning, and then forgot all of them at dawn.
