Manchester United had just started to show some improvement, but they suffered another defeat in the 22nd round of the Premier League. In their home match against Brighton, Manchester United conceded a goal within the first five minutes and ultimately lost the game. Brighton players Kaoru Mitoma and Mac Allister scored and assisted each other, while Luton scored, leaving Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes unable to save the team with his penalty kick. The final score was 1-3, exposing Ten Hag's favored player: passive defense and an own assist, earning him the lowest rating of 5.5 points on the field. Currently, in the Premier League standings, Manchester United has accumulated 26 points after 22 rounds, placing them at 13th position. Liverpool, at the top of the table, has 50 points after 21 rounds, far ahead of Manchester United. Manchester City, ranked 4th, has 38 points after 22 rounds, and Aston Villa, ranked 8th, leads Manchester United by 10 points. Given Manchester United's current form, their chances of securing a spot in European competition are slim. Fortunately, they maintain a comfortable 10-point lead over the relegation zone, ensuring a relatively smooth path to avoid relegation. Based on Manchester United's performance, it is clear that they are currently a mid-to-lower-tier team in the Premier League. Even the club's manager, Amorim, openly stated, "We may be the worst-performing Manchester United in history." This version of Manchester United has limited fighting power, which disappoints Amorim. The team's poor state is closely related to Ten Hag's questionable recruitment and team-building strategies. Ten Hag consistently brings…

Oral Agreement Reached!‌ On January 19th, Beijing time, Spanish media Relevo's renowned journalist Matteo Moretto and famous transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano revealed that Manchester United winger Antony has joined Real Betis on a pure loan deal. Antony is a transaction in Manchester United's history that will never be forgotten. In August 2022, the transfer fee was 95 million euros, but two and a half years later, his value dropped to only 20 million. New coach Amorim could not save this asset, with only 7 substitute appearances in the league this season, playing for 127 minutes with no goals or assists. The management had long planned to clean him up, but after circling around the transfer market, there were no takers. Only La Liga club Real Betis and Greek Super League powerhouse Olympiacos were willing to rent him. Dongzi personally did not want to leave the top five leagues, eliminating the latter. Real Betis sold Assane Diouss to Como and loaned Rui Silva to Sporting Portugal, freeing up space before finally submitting an official loan application to Manchester United. Pure loan, without any buyout clauses, with Manchester United covering part of the salary expenses. It can also be seen as a disguised subsidy to get rid of him, so as not to be an eyesore. In fact, free rental doesn't offer much benefit. We can only hope that Antony can perform well in half a season, attracting more potential buyers next summer to recover tens of millions of euros in losses. But the probability of this is too low, it would…

Anthony, once a forward demanded by former Manchester United manager Ten Hag upon his appointment, has experienced a dark period at the club. In this season alone, he has only managed to score one goal in 13 games, spending most of his time as a substitute. Manchester United is eager to resolve the situation with this underperforming player and has proposed a solution: subsidizing his salary to facilitate a loan move for Anthony. Spanish media outlet Relevo's renowned journalist Matteo Moretto reported that Real Betis is interested in securing Anthony on loan but without an option to buy. Betis is looking for a short-term loan during the winter transfer window to assess his performance. This arrangement is indeed cost-effective, considering Anthony's relatively high wages. By loaning him out with United covering part of his salary, Betis can manage the financial aspect, and given Anthony's young age and peak years ahead, he has the potential to excel. Anthony himself is keen on joining a team that can offer him consistent playing time, allowing him to re-establish himself. Despite his technical abilities, Anthony's physicality and speed have not been favored in the Premier League, where he struggles to compete against stronger opponents. This has hindered his ability to dribble past defenders and create scoring opportunities. A move to La Liga, where the physical demands are less intense, could provide Anthony with the opportunity to prove himself. Manchester United also hopes that he will rediscover his value and can be sold off sooner rather than later.

After being sacked from Manchester United this season, Ten Hag has become a laughing stock among fans. During his two-year tenure at Manchester United, he spent 600 million euros on transfer fees but failed to deliver results that matched the team's potential. Due to poor performance this season, the Manchester United management, who had been supporting him, had no choice but to let go of Ten Hag. However, after his dismissal, Ten Hag is quickly looking for his next coaching opportunity. Now, according to Marian Laske, a reporter from the Ruhr area of West German Press, there is a hot news that Ten Hag will quickly take over Borussia Dortmund this season. Borussia Dortmund is currently very dissatisfied with their coach, Schahin, and his coaching record has disappointed the fans, so he is basically going to be sacked during the winter window. Borussia Dortmund hopes to bring in Ten Hag, although his time at Manchester United can be considered a failure. However, Ten Hag can still achieve remarkable results when coaching smaller clubs. Therefore, these second-tier giant teams are still very interested in Ten Hag. Last season, Borussia Dortmund reached the Champions League final. At this point, Ten Hag's arrival at this Bundesliga giant could completely turn things around. If he can lead Borussia Dortmund to win a cup title, it could also improve his current low reputation. Borussia Dortmund doesn't have many options, and inviting Ten Hag is quite a good choice.

On January 19th, Beijing time, Miami International played their first game of the new year against America, a preseason friendly match. The partnership between Messi and Suarez remained as默契 as ever, with the duo combining to score one goal. Miami International drew 2-2 with their opponents within 90 minutes and won 3-2 in the penalty shootout, securing Mascherano's first victory as coach of Miami International. After the game, the team was awarded a commemorative trophy. The final score was 5-4, with Miami International lifting the trophy, Mascherano's debut victory, and Messi scoring with a header + breaking records. Mascherano, the new coach of Miami International, lined up in a 442 formation for this match, with Rios in goal, Alba, Allen, Aviles, and Wegant forming the four-man defense. Pico, Redondo, Busquets, and Taylor partnered in midfield, while the double forwards were Suarez and Messi. America is a traditional Mexican powerhouse team, with a total value of 93.65 million euros, higher than that of Miami International (64.65 million euros). In this friendly match, America took the lead in the 30th minute when Miami International's defense made a mistake, allowing Martin to seize the opportunity and score. Three minutes later, Messi initiated an attack and then made a run forward, with Suarez providing the cross. Despite being only 1.7 meters tall, Messi managed to head the ball and help Miami International equalize the score. In the 51st minute, Miami International's defense faltered again, and Reyes took advantage to score for America. As it was just a warm-up match, training was the most important…

Renewal Failure! Liverpool's Most Expensive Star Determined to Join Barcelona As we all know, Luis Diaz is currently one of the most critical stars in Liverpool's team. After years of lying low, he has grown into an absolute mainstay and has performed outstandingly in all positions arranged by new coach Sloet. However, what does not match his performance is that Diaz is one of the lowest-paid players in Liverpool. According to Spanish media Elnacional, the renewal negotiations between Diaz and Liverpool have unfortunately broken down. He has already rejected the renewal and explicitly stated that he only wants to join Barcelona because he has always been longing for Barcelona since childhood and hopes to wear the jersey of this La Liga giant one day. At the same time, Barcelona also highly appreciates Diaz's abilities and believes that he perfectly fits the club's playing style, making it a highly recognized two-way pursuit. Diaz just turned 28, and he joined Liverpool from Porto in the winter transfer window of 2022. At that time, Diaz's market value on "Transfermarkt" was 40 million euros, and the Reds paid a transfer fee of 52 million euros for him. In his first year at Liverpool, Diaz's market value quickly rose to 75 million euros. However, in the following two years, his market value entered a stagnant period with almost no changes. This season, Diaz has performed brilliantly, and his market value has continued to grow. His market value has reached 85 million euros, which not only makes him the highest-valued player in Liverpool but also breaks…

Nico Paz, aged 20, currently plays for Como, the newly promoted team in Serie A. On January 19th, Como's head coach, Fabregas, highly praised Nico Paz: If Real Madrid does not exercise their buy-back option, we will reject offers ranging from 40 million to 50 million euros. Last summer, Nico Paz left Real Madrid to join Como. His transfer fee was only 6 million euros, but the contract stipulated that if there were two transfers, Real Madrid would receive a 50% share, and additionally, Real Madrid had the right of first refusal. After leaving Real Madrid and arriving in Serie A, the 20-year-old Nico Paz has clearly grown. In the 2024-25 Serie A season, as an attacking midfielder, Nico Paz made 18 appearances, contributing 3 goals and 4 assists. Last October, Nico Paz was also selected for the Argentine national team, making his debut for the Tango Army. Como is positioned as a relegation battler, while Nico Paz is the team's offensive core, with a valuation of 20 million euros by Transfermarkt, the highest in the team. In Fabregas' 4-2-3-1 formation, Nico Paz plays as an attacking midfielder, taking on the role of an offensive playmaker. In Serie A, Nico Paz averages 1.8 key passes and 1.9 successful dribbles per game, ranking among the top in the team. Fabregas, the head coach of Como, gave a high evaluation of Nico Paz. At the press conference on Saturday, he talked about Nico Paz: "Nico is a Como player, and Real Madrid can buy him back, but they must pay the set…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the 21st round of Serie A concluded with a clash between two giants, Juventus securing a home victory over AC Milan. The two teams had already faced each other this month, with Juventus being overturned by Milan in the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup, missing out on the final. In this match, Juventus achieved revenge, with goals from Mbangu and Weah in the second half helping them to victory. After the win, Juventus climbed into the top four of Serie A, and at the same time, they found a gem in their 2-0 victory! The 23-year-old defensive midfielder excelled in both attack and defense, piercing through Milan's defense, earning him praise as the new Pogba. In terms of possession, Juventus led with 60%-40%, had 15 shots to Milan's 13, and 6 shots on target to Milan's 3, making their victory well-deserved. In the 59th minute of the game, Mbangu's shot hit Emerson and took a deflection, changing direction and flying into Milan's goal, giving Juventus a 1-0 lead. In the 64th minute, Weah scored with his left foot after facing Tomori's defense one-on-one, ending Juventus' four-game winless streak. Currently, Juventus has 8 wins and 13 draws in 21 rounds, accumulating 37 points and ranking fourth in Serie A. Atalanta is third with 43 points in 21 rounds, Inter Milan is second with 44 points in 19 rounds, and Napoli tops the table with 50 points in 21 rounds. After Juventus defeated Milan, midfielder Khephren Thuram's performance was praised. Thuram had a passing success rate…

After two months under the guidance of Amorim, Manchester United is gradually finding its form, with a draw against Liverpool in the Premier League away game, an FA Cup victory over Arsenal with one less player on the road, and a comeback win against Southampton at home. With the winter transfer window now open, Manchester United manager Amorim has begun to make changes to the team's lineup. On January 19th, Beijing time, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester United is in discussions with Real Betis regarding a deal involving Antony. Romano stated that the transfer plan involves Antony joining Real Betis on loan until June, without a buyout clause. Manchester United will cover part of the player's salary, and Antony is open to the move to Real Betis, with the deal close to being finalized. Antony's performance at Manchester United has been poor, and his salary is high. It is understandable that Manchester United would want to loan him out. Antony has not been able to secure consistent playing time at Manchester United and could benefit from a change of scenery at Real Betis. Real Betis has a history of signing players who have been let go by top clubs, such as Isco from Real Madrid, Riqui Puig from Barcelona, Adrian from Liverpool, and Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham Hotspur. During Antony's loan period, Manchester United will pay part of the player's salary, allowing Real Betis to test the 24-year-old former Brazilian international, who could provide additional options for their La Liga and Europa League campaigns. Looking back, it…

As the third-generation king of world football, Messi chose to join the Miami International team in the MLS after winning the 2022 Qatar World Cup. However, it now appears that Messi's decision was quite correct. In the MLS, Messi can avoid excessive fatigue and continue to preserve his physical strength and recover his body. Therefore, in the summer's Copa America, Messi also led the Argentine national team to victory again. Currently, Messi has also received another piece of good news: he has been elected as the best player of the 2024 MLS season by Transfermarkt. In the 2024 season, Messi scored an impressive 21 goals and provided 11 assists in just 22 games, demonstrating that whenever he takes the field, he contributes top-level statistics and performances. Notably, Messi also led Miami International to finish first in their regular-season division. Unfortunately, in the subsequent playoffs, Messi's Miami International suffered a surprising elimination. However, this does not diminish Messi's outstanding performance in the 2024 MLS season. Therefore, Messi's latest award is well-deserved. In the MLS, Messi's performance is akin to a dimension-reducing strike, which has made Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays in the Saudi league, quite envious. Ronaldo has been playing in the Saudi league for three years but has yet to win any championships. He has also never been named the best player in the Saudi league, which has left the typically competitive Ronaldo feeling quite frustrated. Therefore, whether Ronaldo will choose to join the MLS and continue his rivalry with Messi after this season ends is something everyone is looking forward…
