king of world football

Throughout the entire Premier League season, it can be said that the ups and downs have been wonderful. Manchester City's strong performance in the league is in stark contrast to the successive failures in the cup.

Although 100 points in the league cannot be compared with Arsenal's 49 unbeaten games or Real Madrid's unbeaten victory, it is enough to become one of the miracles in football.

Walker and Mendy introduced in the summer played well in the defense, and goalkeeper Ederson even surrendered 21 games with zero seals.

Of course, the root of Blue Moon is offense, and the striker is in a gratifying state of blooming.

It's just that this also brings a new problem, that is, it is difficult to gain something in the cup game where the chance is huge and more emphasis is placed on on-the-spot performance.

The League Cup, the FA Cup and even the Champions League, Manchester City have lost all of them. There is a reason why Wang Feng's dominance is gradually declining, but it mainly depends on the replacement of the old and new teams and the transformation of the core.

Fernandinho, Toure and others faded out of the lineup, and De Bruyne and Gundogan began to take charge of the midfield.

Guardiola is also consciously cultivating the B seat, Sane and Sterling's offensive ability, hoping that they can turn the tide like Chinese superstars at critical moments.

.........

Under the crazy results of Blue Moon, the team Manchester United in the same city seemed very weak, but in fact they performed very well.

The Red Devils have a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses against the top six clubs. In the past, this point and data can be said to be a strong contender for the championship.

However, compared with the invincible Triple Crown period in Europe, it is almost meaningless, especially the losses to mid-lower teams such as West Bromwich Albion and Brighton were shocking.

Since Ferguson retired, Manchester United has changed three coaches in a row. Although the amazing coach Mourinho failed to make the team win the championship, he at least brought them back to the Champions League. You must know that the Red Devils only ranked sixth last season.

On the offensive end, Manchester United has more firepower, with 14 more goals than last year, but the expected connection between Pogba and Lukaku did not work.

The joining of Sanchez in winter expanded the frontcourt space to a certain extent, but the chances of the "two blacks" to hold the ball were further reduced.

Especially Lukaku, a player who is good at dribbling the ball, was forced to stand up and output. The result was full of confusion and was nicknamed "Chuzhuang King (King of Pestle Pile)" by domestic fans.

In any case, next Manchester United must seek new solutions on the offensive end, preferably relying on forwards who are fast and efficient off the ball.

.........

Liverpool fans feel sincere happiness this season. Even though the team still sends a lot of warmth to Swansea and West Bromwich Albion, defeating Manchester City, which is in full swing, deserves to be remembered forever.

Looking back on the entire season, "Pharaoh" Salah is probably the biggest treasure picked up by the Red Army. His 30+ goals are only ranked below Wang Feng and Ronaldo, ranking third in the history of the Premier League.

However, they were barely able to secure the Champions League seat in the last round of the league, and the main disadvantage was the poor defense.

Except for Van Dijk, Robertson, Lovren and Adeno are not considered the main players of the giants.

The Dutch defender was also poached from Southampton in the winter with a record-breaking transfer fee of 7500 million pounds.

His excellent physical awareness and tough mental outlook have proved his worth and become a strong contender for the team's next captain.

If Liverpool want to make a breakthrough, it is imperative to introduce another defensive gate before next season.

In addition to Salah on the offensive end, the Red Army also has Firmino and Mane. These three are very young, with an average age of less than 26. It can be said that the future is promising.

.........

Chelsea's sudden fall out of the Champions League from last season's runner-up position can't help but make people feel embarrassed, but there were many clues as early as the beginning of the season.

Let go of Matic, miss Lukaku, Morata and Bakayoko have just arrived and cannot adapt immediately.

More importantly, all kinds of signings are bought for the sake of buying, and they have not solved the problems of the team at all, making them appear to be a top-heavy mess.

Last year, head coach Conte caught many clubs by surprise with his one-handed three-five-two formation, but the changes in the Premier League are very rapid, and only one routine can't avoid the fate of elimination.

Morata played 24 games and contributed 11 goals. It cannot be said to be a disaster, but it does not match the title of refreshing the transfer fee.

Moreover, at the critical moment of entering the second half of the league, there was a 3-month scoring shortage. Compared with the Spanish striker, Giroud, who was reduced to a substitute, became more and more outstanding.

Hazard's status and statistics have also declined. This new star, known as the most promising star after Melo, has fallen into the same predicament as his predecessors, that is, he has good statistics and beautiful skills, but he has never been able to lead the team to the top.

Messi struggled for more than ten years before he finally won the La Liga championship. Ronaldo kept changing teams and was still tirelessly pursuing it.

Many media and professionals believe that the Belgian may also need to change his environment. After all, he is 27 years old, and it is not worthwhile to waste his peak period in vain.

At the club level, it is natural to do everything possible to keep this frontcourt core. Conte's next task will focus on cleaning up the team and improving the mental combat effectiveness.

.........

The ending of "Professor" Wenger was full of tragedy. In April, a brief statement shocked the football world. He confirmed that he would leave the Gunners who had worked for 4 years after the season.

Compared with the long coaching career, this parting letter is particularly simple, "After communicating with the club, I think it is the right time to step down as Arsenal coach."

Although the team fell out of the championship team in the past few years, it is also a good result to secure the qualification for the Champions League. However, they failed to maintain this level last season and this season, and the noise at the Emirates Stadium continued.

In such a situation of mutual disgust, Wenger chose to take this step first, which can be regarded as retaining the last trace of decency.

It is not difficult to see from the game process that everyone has tried their best. Arsenal basically won all the games that should be won, such as Lectra Tottenham and Everton at home.

The contest of disparity in strength could not create miracles. The 0:3 defeat of Manchester City in the two rounds deeply hurt the hearts of the fans.

Mertesacker retired, Koscielny was seriously injured, Cech is getting old, this Gunner is full of problems, and it is time to overthrow and rebuild.

.........

Tottenham still maintain a tepid state. After losing Walker and other main players, they re-introduced high-quality and cheap high-quality new players. The economic effect is good. It can not only keep the Champions League seat, but also make a lot of money.

But this approach will undoubtedly restrict the upper limit of the club's development. The endless buying and selling of players will not guarantee stability and continuity. After all, it will be difficult for them to attack the championship trophy.

Levi may be a businessman with a unique vision, but he is by no means a qualified club helm. Under his hands, Tottenham will never become a real giant.

In addition to Big6, the most eye-catching small team in the Premier League this season is Burnley. They were still struggling in the relegation zone last year, and now they have transformed into seventh place, overwhelming Everton.

The most outstanding star in the team is the new England goalkeeper Pope. After all 38 league rounds, the team only conceded 39 goals, which is comparable to Liverpool and Chelsea.

However, the offensive end has restricted their further development. I believe that the club will still aim at relegation next season.

.........

In terms of the Champions League, this time Real Madrid reached the semi-finals and encountered Bayern, but fell again at the feet of the South King. Liverpool and the Bundesliga met the top of Europe.

In the end, Bayern won the fifth Champions League trophy in history!
