I brush achievements in football

For the new season of the Premier League, various media are still very concerned, especially this summer there are no major competitions, so the British media pay more attention to the signings of various clubs.

The wealthy Manchester City is still carrying out their constant exchange of blood, Nasri, Aguero, Clichy, Savage, they are methodically replenishing their own strength, and at the same time selling a lot of players they do not need at a low price, even if These people spent a lot of money when they were brought in.

Manchester United continued their steady transfer. Under the leadership of Ferguson, their signings have always been steady. The joining of De Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young made them in goalkeeper, winger and center. The defender's position has been supplemented, Brown and O'Shea have left, Scholes, Van der Sar and Gary Neville have retired, and Manchester United has also suffered some shocks.

Chelsea continue to have a lot of money. A Lukaku cost them 2000 million pounds, and Juan Mata spent nearly 3000 million pounds in transfer expenses. Liverpool opened their pockets this year, and Henderson spent 800 pounds. 500, plus 5000 million to pack Lambert and Lallana from Southampton. Although they made up for some of the economy by selling people, the net investment is still close to [-] million pounds, which is a rare big deal for Liverpool in recent years. up.

Arsenal spent a lot of money this season. Although they sold Fabregas, Clichy, Nasri, Eboue and other main players to cash in a lot of cash, they are finally not stingy when it comes to signings. , Chamberlain's 2000 million is Arsenal's summer bid king, and it is also one of the few Arsenal players who have reached 2000 million transfers in the past few years. Gervinho, Mertesacker, and Arteta are all outstanding players. What Arsenal can do is worth watching.

As for Tottenham, they are relatively stingy. Apart from taking back Walker, they have not invested much. The biggest expense is 500 million to buy local midfielder Parker from the relegated West Ham United. Notoriously stingy, Tottenham fans don't want to say anything...

The investment of other clubs is actually very small, and there are only five or six signings at the level of tens of millions, so under such circumstances, Southampton has become the most eye-catching team outside the big6...

Sold Chamberlain, Lallana and Lambert for 6000 million, and William for 2000 million is their bid king this season. In addition, Ronaldo and Vidal are both tens of millions of signings. The signings are enough to make people feel gorgeous.

Although most of the money was spent on South American players, even in the English media, few people said that their money was not worth spending.

The more sensational thing is of course Klose, who was introduced for free. Even if English football has a grudge against German football, they still have to admire a World Cup hero like Klose, second only to Ronaldo in the World Cup. Gerd Muller), such a legend, everyone has to show their respect.

So when predicting the rankings for the new season, the Times Sports even ranked Southampton in the tenth position, thinking that Southampton should be the most eye-catching team outside of the big6, and they can compete with them Yes, that is to say, Everton and Newcastle, the old strong teams that can compete in European competitions from time to time...

And Ji Ya, as the youngest head coach (only 27 years old) in the Premier League in the new season, and even in the top leagues of the entire European continent, has also received enough attention.

Southampton's first game of the new season is against Manchester City on August [-], but they only have to play in the Premier League for the time being. After all, as the defending champions of the Europa League, they can directly enter the group stage.

As for the other cup matches, it’s all about later. Except for the European Super Cup on August 27, they are all the same as other Premier League teams.

Therefore, the opening of Southampton's pre-season training camp this year is similar to usual.

The camp opened one month in advance, that is, the camp opened on July [-]th.

After all, there were no major competitions this summer. Last season's games were all over on May [-]th. The players' vacation time was already long enough, so no one would complain.

Of course, when the team began to gather on the first day, the players were a little strange to each other.

A full ten players have been left and eleven players have been added. For a first-team team with only 24 players last season, such a change is already extremely huge.

After all, nearly half of the players have left.

However, except for the three local players, the main players have all been retained...

In terms of jersey numbers, the newly joined Blind got the No. 13 jersey left by Dixon, while Matuidi asked for No. 11, Vidal wore the No. 11 left by Lallana, Giroud originally It's number ten, he took the initiative to ask for Lambert's number nine, and gave up number ten. Now number ten is worn on the young Ronaldo. At the same time, because number [-] is already vacant, Klose wants it His favorite No.[-], the same vacant No. [-] was given to William.

The newly joined famous players basically got good numbers, which seems to prove their importance in the future.

For professional clubs, it is a normal choice to introduce new players and sell some old players. At the beginning of the new season, the kneading of new and old players will also be a very important thing.

Southampton don't look at the appearance of leaving ten players. In fact, Southampton's situation has been promoted to three levels in two years, a large number of players have been sold off, and even a team has almost been reorganized. It is normal. of.

If it weren't for Southampton's strong signings, players like Lovren and Fonte would be easy to use from the League One to the Premier League, and Klein would have no problem from the English Championship to the Premier League. Derlin, Drinkwater, Mkhitaryan, Giroud... Even if these players have been promoted all the way from the League One, they are still growing all the way, and they are worthy of a foothold in the Premier League. As far as players are concerned, they can also represent Southampton's future very well.

Therefore, Ji Ya thinks that Southampton's current lineup is very reasonable. Apart from the two old captains over 30 years old, there are Klose and Kovac, followed by 28-year-old Fonte, 25-year-old Navas, Nolito And Giroud, the 24-year-old Dembele, Matuidi, Vidal, these players are the backbone of Southampton, and then they are all outstanding young players.

This kind of match looks a little younger, but it is not too much. After all, there are veterans like Klose and Wundt checking in. With their experience, the Southampton boat will not go astray.
