In the Premier League on January 15th, Beijing time, the league leaders Liverpool faced resistance. In the away match against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool conceded a goal within 8 minutes, with Wood breaking through Liverpool's goal. In the 66th minute, two substitute players connected, with Tsimikas assisting Jota to score from a corner kick, and the two teams eventually drew 1-1. Nottingham Forest has risen this season, and Manchester United also "contributed." In six rounds, a 22-year-old player discarded by Manchester United shone in the Premier League, with Ten Hag missing the mark and letting go of a fast winger at a bargain price. Liverpool has only lost one game in the Premier League this season, a 0-1 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest. In the second leg between the two sides, Liverpool remained unbeaten. Liverpool's recent progress has been slow, drawing with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, losing 0-1 to Tottenham in the first leg of the League Cup, but winning in the FA Cup with a 4-0 victory over Accrington Stanley of League Two. Currently, Liverpool has 47 points and is ranked first in the Premier League, while Nottingham Forest, having played one more game, has 41 points and is temporarily ranked second. Nottingham Forest's ability to lead many top teams and rank second in the Premier League standings, with an advantage over Liverpool in both matches, is quite remarkable. Manchester United sold Elanga to Nottingham Forest, which contributed to Nottingham Forest's development. In the match against Liverpool, Elanga provided a through ball that broke…

AC Milan has been struggling this season, with an "obvious" lack of offensive prowess, scoring only 26 goals in 17 matches, leaving fans wishing they could rush onto the field to give them a laxative! Well, they've changed coaches! Portuguese coach Conceicao is tough and doesn't talk much, but he immediately sets rules and conducts a thorough overhaul within the team. Then he declares, "We need to strengthen our attack in the winter window!" Looking at his targets, it seems he's aiming for two "cast-offs" from the Premier League: Manchester United's Zirkzee and Liverpool's Chiesa. Is he looking to take advantage of the situation? Conceicao's vision is quite interesting! Let's start with Zirkzee, who stands at 1.93 meters tall and is a big guy, but he doesn't rely on headers. He's technically skilled, likes to dribble, and organize attacks, somewhat like a "false nine." Last season, he thrived at Bologna, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists in 37 games, with impressive stats. Milan was interested in him at the time, but negotiations fell through when his agent suddenly raised the price. Zirkzee ended up joining Manchester United for 42.5 million euros. However, since moving to the Premier League, he's struggled to adapt. Neither Ten Hag nor Amorim have been able to get the best out of him, as he's only managed 4 goals and 2 assists in 27 appearances. In the last match against Newcastle, he finally started but was substituted after just 33 minutes, leaving him green with frustration. Now, it's rumored that Manchester United wants to trade…

Real Madrid, after successfully recruiting Kylian Mbappe during the off-season, initially struggled to find their form due to a lack of team cohesion. However, as the season progressed, the "Galactic Battleship" gradually regained its former glory and returned to the top ranks of the La Liga title race with its strong strength. On the other hand, Barcelona, a long-time rival of Real Madrid, started the season in excellent form, demonstrating a powerful dominance that could be described as heroic. However, in the past seven consecutive league matches, Barcelona experienced a dramatic downturn, winning only one game. This poor performance led them to plummet down the La Liga table to third place, trailing the current leaders by a significant six points, a situation that is not optimistic for them. It is worth noting that in the first leg of the season, Barcelona achieved a resounding 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, giving them a clear psychological advantage ahead of this match. On the day of the match, both teams' coaches deployed aggressive lineups. Real Madrid's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, continued with his 4-2-3-1 tactical system. Mbappe, like a sharp dagger, was positioned as the lone striker, leading the charge. Vinicius, Bellingham, and Rodrygo followed closely behind, providing continuous offensive support. In midfield, Camavinga and Valverde partnered as double pivot, taking on important responsibilities for midfield organization and defense. In defense, Chuameni temporarily played as a center-back, joining Rudiger, Mendy, and Vazquez to build a solid defensive line. As for Courtois, he stood focused in front of the goal, ready to…

Latest News: Arsenal Targets a 7-Goal Striker, Offering a Weekly Salary of £360,000 On January 14th, Beijing time, several famous journalists broke the news that Arsenal is discussing the signing of Vlahovic. DV9? Arsenal? Unbelievable. But overnight, three major journalists simultaneously revealed that there must be some truth to it. ConMarbleHalls: Arsenal is internally discussing the loan action for Dusan Vlahovic. NicoSchira: Arsenal is paying attention to Vlahovic, but has not yet made an offer. However, Arteta has liked him for many years and wanted this Serbian forward before he joined Juventus. Daniele Longo: A one-and-a-half-year contract plus a post-tax annual salary of 12 million. Juventus wants to sell DV9 for 60 million, and Arsenal is interested. In the past two years, Serie A's top scorers have lacked prestige in the football world. Osimhen has been hyped for so long, but no club has offered 100 million to snatch him. The transfer interest is even less than Gakpo's. Lukaku's indecisiveness further proves this point. He couldn't rely on anyone in the Premier League, but became a textbook example of playing with his back to goal in Serie A. Vlahovic, this kind of "top center forward" with expensive transfer fees, high wages, and controversial skills, dares to touch him. Arsenal doesn't care about their lives anymore. This 24-year-old Serbian center forward has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is good physique and shooting skills. One against six in the hotel, who would dare to say that Vlahovic's physical quality is poor. Here, let me dispel a rumor. The widely circulated video…

Facing a promising situation with a two-goal lead, Manchester City unexpectedly collapsed in the final moments! Although they didn't lose, being scored twice by their opponents turned three points into one, which indeed made Manchester City fans particularly angry. Until the last moment, Brentford still had multiple chances to score a decisive goal. If it weren't for Ake's miraculous performance in front of the goal, it would have been a struggle for Manchester City to even get a point. Not winning means that the team is one step further away from their hopes of making a comeback and winning the title. After the game, Guardiola found goalkeeper Ortga and reprimanded him emotionally and intensely. It is clear that Guardiola believes Ortga bears significant responsibility for the late-game conceded goals. Looking back at this conceded goal, it is obvious that Brentford, in an attempt to equalize the score, had fully pressed forward at this point. At this time, there were significant issues with Manchester City's defensive positioning; the players were not close enough to each other, and there was insufficient pressure on the ball carrier. Mentally, it seemed they did not take it seriously enough. Moreover, several attacking players still wanted to counterattack and thus did not fully retreat to defend. Lewis Potter evaded the defense and easily sent the ball into the penalty area, where Norgaard headed the ball past Akangi to score. This goal was indeed beautiful, and with its close proximity and considerable power, it was difficult for the goalkeeper to make a save, let alone Ortga who…

Wow! On January 14th, Beijing time, David Ornstein, the ace reporter from The Athletic UK, updated his weekly transfer report: Real Madrid has closed its winter transfer window. A great move! Real Madrid is moving further and further towards Liverpool! Losing to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup caused internal shock, which was the third consecutive loss to their derby rivals this season, including a friendly match in August. Don't laugh yet; last season, Real Madrid also had three victories over Barcelona. It's just a turn-based game. There is pressure on fans, players, and the coaching staff, but none on the management. After the game, Florentino Perez told Modric, "Sometimes we have to lose a final too, right?" When I saw this news, I felt that there might not be any new signings in the winter window. And it turned out to be true. Coach Carlo Ancelotti must take some responsibility for the loss, criticized for relying too much on Aurelien Tchouameni. Why can't Marco Asensio be used? In fact, throughout his coaching career, he rarely uses young players. His style is old-fashioned, with a strict rotation system based on ability and position, rarely changing. The advantage is that it helps the core lineup build confidence, but the disadvantage is that it lacks flexibility when facing weaknesses. This is also a way to interact with big-name stars. However, after being hit hard, there will naturally be a desire for change. Spanish media Relevo reported that Real Madrid player Marco Asensio will start in the match against Celta Vigo on Thursday.…

After eliminating Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United has received another piece of good news. The club has signed its first new player under new manager Amorim, who is Paraguayan left-back Diego Leon. Currently, this 17-year-old youngster has completed the medical examination and signing procedures and officially joined the team. Recently, according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United paid a base transfer fee of 4millionforLeon,plusaneasy−to−reachfloatingclauseof4 million for Leon, plus an easy-to-reach floating clause of 4millionforLeon,plusaneasy−to−reachfloatingclauseof1 million, and a more challenging bonus clause of $3.5 million. Although Leon has already signed with Manchester United, due to age restrictions, he will temporarily be unable to officially register as a Manchester United player. This Paraguayan teenage talent will only be able to officially join the Manchester United first team after turning 18 in April 2025. Before that, he will return to Paraguay to continue playing for Cerro Porteno and accumulate more match experience. After officially signing with the club, Leon visited the legendary Old Trafford stadium. Additionally, he took photos at the Carrington training base with fellow South American players Lisandro Martinez and Garnacho. Interestingly, even Manchester City's Belgian superstar Kevin De Bruyne met and took a photo with this future "Red Devil" star. Leon's signing with Manchester United coincided with the team's fierce confrontation with Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup. Although he was unable to watch the game on-site, Manchester United achieved victory under Amorim's leadership, adding joy to the new signing's arrival. It is reported that Leon's joining is just…

As the undisputed king of football today, Cristiano Ronaldo maintains an excellent competitive state at the age of nearly 40, coupled with his super high commercial value, making many European giants covet him, and he seems to be getting closer and closer to returning to the Premier League. Currently, three European giants, Chelsea, Paris, and Newcastle, are all pursuing Ronaldo. Especially the wealthy Chelsea, after the team suffered consecutive defeats, they urgently need Ronaldo, this spiritual leader, to lead the young Blues forward, while transforming Chelsea into a more well-known top club. On the other hand, Newcastle, backed by the Saudi consortium, can enjoy more convenience in their transfer operations involving Ronaldo, which also gives them the lead in the race to sign Ronaldo. So, who will be Ronaldo's new home for the new season? Recently, renowned football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has given a definitive answer. According to his information, although Ronaldo is eager to return to Europe and play on stages like the Champions League, after considering various factors, Ronaldo has decided to renew his contract with Al-Nassr. At that time, his contract will end in the summer of 2026. It is precisely because of his loyalty and huge influence that Ronaldo will receive a pay raise, with his annual salary reaching 220 million euros. Looking at the world of football, at the age of 40, it is still terrifying to have such a money-making ability, and Ronaldo is undoubtedly the GOAT in this field. After all, Messi's annual salary in the MLS is only 60 million euros,…

In the recent fixtures, Inter Milan has displayed a commendable competitive form, particularly in the Serie A league, where they have become one of the two most promising teams for the championship. Currently, in the winter transfer market, Inter is also brewing several key transfers to enhance the competitiveness of Inzaghi's team in the second half of the season. The midfield has become a position that requires significant adjustment from Inter's squad configuration. Among the current midfielders, Mkhitaryan's physical functions have declined significantly due to his age, which is reflected not only in reduced running and physical confrontation capabilities but also in the increasing number of injuries. Considering the laws of competitive sports, Inter cannot place too much hope on this 35-year-old veteran. Calhanoglu's situation is somewhat similar; although he is five years younger than Mkhitaryan, the number of injuries this season has also increased significantly. Judging from his on-field performance, compared to last season, Calhanoglu's efficiency has also declined. So far this season, Calhanoglu has only contributed 4 goals and 2 assists in the league. On the other hand, Aslani is in the ascending phase of his career. With the increase in injuries within the team, Inzaghi has given him considerable playing time. Objectively speaking, Aslani has good passing vision in the holding midfielder position, and his long pass accuracy is quite impressive. This season, he attempted 32 long passes, with 22 successfully finding teammates, achieving a success rate of 69%, ranking among the top in all holding midfielders in the league. However, Aslani also has obvious shortcomings, namely,…

Defending champions Manchester City faced Brentford away from home, with Pep Guardiola aiming for a fourth consecutive victory. Meanwhile, Chelsea, known as the Blues, hosted underdog Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, and Liverpool, the Reds, challenged the super underdog Nottingham Forest away from home. The various giants experienced both joy and sorrow, with some happy and others worried. Brentford 2-2 Manchester City Brentford started the season strong at home but has since faltered, once achieving an undefeated record of two wins and two draws at home but suffering three consecutive home defeats recently. Manchester City began the season with an undefeated record of seven wins and two draws but then fell into a prolonged slump, losing nine out of 14 matches in all competitions. However, City's form has recently improved, securing three consecutive victories across competitions, showing clear signs of recovery. In their first meeting, City defeated Brentford 2-1 at home. During the match, in the first half, Nunes missed a good opportunity. In the second half, Savigno made a solo charge and hit the post, while Damsgaard's low shot was disallowed. In the 66th minute, a dramatic turn of events occurred! The home team's goal was disallowed, and the camera quickly switched to City launching a counterattack and scoring!
