In the key match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Real Madrid also surprised everyone with a resounding 2-5 defeat at the hands of Barcelona. The Real Madrid management is very dissatisfied because this season they have been defeated by Barcelona for the second time. And both defeats were quite severe for Real Madrid, and internal discord rumors quickly erupted within Real Madrid. One voice was that the Real Madrid management believed this was a disgraceful game. They have always been opponents of Barcelona, but this defeat was too straightforward. Real Madrid President Florentino Perez also came to watch the game. He is very dissatisfied with the team under Ancelotti, believing that their tactical system and on-field initiative are not enough. Real Madrid has also come up with the idea of changing coaches. In fact, it was previously reported that Real Madrid wanted to change coaches. But then Ancelotti led the team to improve their record in La Liga, avoiding the crisis of being sacked. However, Real Madrid now realizes that their slump this season also requires them to consider finding a strong coach to solve their coaching issues. This time, Real Madrid originally considered inviting Zinedine Zidane back to coach. However, Zidane has now rejected the offer, hoping to wait for the position of the French national team coach to become vacant so that he can lead the national team. Therefore, Real Madrid can only continue to consider other candidates. Among them, Alonso, who is coaching Bayer Leverkusen, is the coach that Real Madrid wants to invite. Whether it is…

Manchester United has officially announced that 22-year-old Ivorian winger Amad Diallo has successfully completed a contract extension, which will last for 5 years and 6 months, extending until June 2030. Notably, this new contract does not include the common one-year priority renewal clause typically seen in contracts for Red Devils players. "I have had some amazing moments at the club, but I believe there is much more to come, and I am very ambitious about the game," said Diallo after signing the contract alongside Technical Director Jason Wilcox. Prior to the contract extension, Diallo was operating under the terms of his original contract signed when he moved from Atalanta to Manchester United in 2020, with a weekly salary of less than £30,000. Reports suggest that his new contract has increased his weekly salary to between £90,000 and £120,000, which is not excessive considering he will be at the prime of his career at 28 when the contract ends. If he performs exceptionally well during this period, Manchester United could consider raising his weekly salary to between £150,000 and £180,000, leaving room for future salary adjustments. After loan spells at Glasgow Rangers and Sunderland, Diallo returned to the Manchester United first team last season and demonstrated his potential. He scored crucial goals against strong teams like Manchester City and Liverpool. This season, Diallo has made 27 appearances across all competitions, contributing 6 goals and 7 assists. However, he was surprisingly benched by Ten Hag. Fortunately, interim manager Van Nistelrooy reactivated him, allowing Diallo to shine under new coach Amorim. Despite Manchester…

In the Spanish Super Cup final held on January 13th, Beijing time, Real Madrid suffered a 2-5 defeat against Barcelona, missing out on the championship. In La Liga, Real Madrid also received bad news as Atletico Madrid's victory saw them take over the top spot in the league. Atletico Madrid's winning streak has been beneficial for the Argentine national team, as several Argentine internationals, including Diego Simeone's son, are part of their squad. Argentina has hit the jackpot! Simeone's son shines, aiding Atletico Madrid to 14 straight wins, and North America adds reinforcements. During the home match against Osasuna, Atletico Madrid scored in the 55th minute. They executed a tactical corner kick, with Griezmann delivering the ball into the penalty area. Lenglet headed it to Alvarez, who easily found the net, securing three points for Atletico. Currently, Atletico leads La Liga by one point over Real Madrid, ranking first. Barcelona trails Atletico by six points in third place, while Athletic Bilbao is eight points behind Atletico in fourth. Diego Simeone, the Atletico Madrid coach and former Argentine international midfielder, has made 102 appearances for the Argentine national team. During his playing career, he won two Copa America titles and one Confederations Cup. There are currently six Argentine internationals in the Atletico squad: Alvarez, Correa, De Paul, Molina, Musso, and Simeone's third son, Giuliano Simeone. The presence of these World Cup-winning Argentine elements has brought good fortune to Atletico, who have achieved an unprecedented 14 consecutive victories since November last year, setting a new club record. The 22-year-old Giuliano Simeone has…

The Portuguese team in the 2022 World Cup experienced a series of ups and downs, including internal conflicts, disappointment, and pain. For Cristiano Ronaldo, that year's competition almost became a turning point in his career. Everyone remembers the match against Morocco, where Portugal was surprisingly eliminated in the quarter-finals. Ronaldo, with tears in his eyes, almost broke down emotionally as he walked into the player's tunnel. The World Cup is a dream stage for every player, and for Ronaldo, it might have been his last chance. As he gets older, it's uncertain when he'll get another shot at winning the World Cup. During the match, Ronaldo was placed on the bench, which became a focal point of attention. Fans speculated wildly, with rumors even suggesting that Ronaldo demanded the replacement of head coach Fernando Santos. People generally believed that he was unhappy about not starting the game, causing significant turmoil and leading to internal conflicts within the team. Some began to question whether Ronaldo was truly willing to make sacrifices for the team or if he was being selfish. Recently, however, Santos revealed something different during an interview. He mentioned that although Ronaldo was unhappy sitting on the bench, he still respected his decision. "There was no conflict between us as the outside world suggested; instead, we maintained contact and communicated after the match," explained Santos, surprising many. It turns out that everyone misunderstood Ronaldo. Despite his unhappiness and possible disappointment, he did not stir up trouble within the team but made compromises for the overall interests of the squad.…

In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid suffered a crushing defeat against Barcelona with a score of 2-5. On January 13th, Jose Diaz, the Real Madrid correspondent for Marca, revealed that within a few days, Real Madrid's president Florentino Perez and general manager Jose Angel Sanchez will meet with coach Carlo Ancelotti to analyze the reasons for the defeat and discuss countermeasures. 78 days ago, in the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at home; this time in the Spanish Super Cup final, they lost again with a score of 2-5, making it two defeats with a combined score of 2-9. This has made Real Madrid realize the crisis they are facing. Marca reports that Ancelotti is very clear that Real Madrid must make changes, specifically in three areas: Starting the four superstars - Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham - in strong matchups is a risky formation. Mbappe hardly participates in pressing, and Vinicius' defensive enthusiasm is not high, which leads to Real Madrid's defense being under pressure. In the future, Real Madrid will inevitably disband the starting lineup of these four giants in major events. The choice of central defender. Rudiger is reliable, but Camavinga's performance is too poor. When faced with fast and agile attackers, Camavinga exposes his weaknesses of slow turning, slow reaction, and slow frequency. In front of Rafinha and Amal, Camavinga appears incredibly clumsy. If Real Madrid does not reinforce in the winter window, Ancelotti will consider letting Raul Albiol take over and replace Camavinga. The right-back position…

Barcelona will face Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, hoping to continue their good form against Real Madrid after defeating them 4-0 away from home earlier this season. However, during Barcelona's title pursuit, the player wearing the team's most legendary jersey number has been benched. It's a pity that Barcelona's No. 10 is without a ball to play, with his valuation reduced from 80 million to just 10 million, and the hope of succeeding Messi seems lost. On January 12th, according to reports from Spanish media outlet "As," Fati was left out of the squad for the semi-final match against Athletic Bilbao in the West Super Cup, and he will continue to be excluded from the squad for the final against Real Madrid. Barcelona's decision not to use Fati is clear; they agree to let him leave. In key matches, Fati can't even make it into the team's squad, making him an absolute peripheral figure at Barcelona, which doesn't match his No. 10 jersey. Fati has only made 8 appearances for Barcelona this season, with only 1 start. In the previous 10 games for Barcelona, Fati only played in the King's Cup match against Bawastro, coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. Due to injuries and the team's selection choices, Fati really can't get any playing time at Barcelona. His last goal came back in November 2023 when he was on loan at Brighton and scored against Ajax in the Europa League. Fati hasn't scored in over a year. The former Barcelona prodigy forward Fati made…

It always seems like Manchester United's recent transfer market operations are akin to a blind gambler fumbling with cards, with all the talented "good cards" at hand but always playing the wrong card at critical moments. Many people see Meunier as the young man who represents the future of Manchester United's midfield, but he may actually be heading to Chelsea? Hearing this news, many fans probably feel not just uneasy but angry: why do the talented players cultivated by our youth training system always end up being handed over to others after being nurtured for so long? Can Meunier become the next Pogba? This is a challenge facing the management of Manchester United. Who is Meunier? For many Manchester United fans, this name has already been deeply rooted in their hearts. This 20-year-old defensive midfielder is not only fast and has a broad vision, but also dares to launch bold attacks in the midfield. His growth trajectory is also a highlight of Manchester United's youth training system. However, the problem is that his future may no longer belong to Manchester United, but rather to our "competitor" - Chelsea. It is rumored that Chelsea has set its sights on Meunier, and the reason is that the renewal negotiations between Manchester United and him did not go well. Not only that, Meunier did not get enough playing time this season, and his form also showed some ups and downs. Coupled with the fact that Casemiro currently firmly occupies the starting position in the team, Meunier has almost no room for development. Imagine,…

Manchester United, the Premier League powerhouse, changed its head coach at the beginning of this season, with Portuguese manager Amorim taking over and continuing to use his favored 3421 formation. However, the results have not been ideal, and the team has slipped to 13th place in the league, with a significant number of players not fitting Amorim's tactical requirements. Due to previous excessive spending in the transfer market, Manchester United does not have much funds left to support Amorim in improving the squad. Therefore, to buy new players, they first need to clean up some high-paid surplus players. Rashford, Antony, Zirkzee, Eriksen, Lindelof, Mount, and others are all potential candidates for sale. However, the first player to leave Manchester United in the winter window is none other than Casemiro, once known as the "world's best defensive midfielder." The Saudi Public Investment Fund has finalized Casemiro's move, but which specific team he will play for has not been determined. The transfer fee is set at 25 million pounds, and Casemiro can earn a weekly salary of 650,000 pounds (about 40 million euros per year). The 32-year-old Casemiro has had an extremely brilliant career. He started at Sao Paulo in Brazil's Serie A and joined Real Madrid at the age of 20. In ten seasons, he played 310 times for the La Liga giants, scoring 31 goals and providing 28 assists. Casemiro, along with Modric and Kroos, formed a midfield trio considered one of the best, with Casemiro at his peak being both offensive and defensive, earning him the title of "world's…

As the league with the highest exposure rate, the Premier League is never short of topics. The Premier League has just passed the halfway mark, and several head coaches have already been sacked, including Manchester United's Ten Hag, Leicester City's Cooper, Wolves' O'Neill, Southampton's Martin, West Ham's Lopetegui, and Everton's Dyche. Every time a head coach is sacked, the media and fans call for Mourinho to return, but recently, Mourinho has no intention of returning. Everton suffered five winless rounds, and Dyche was sacked. However, regardless of the game, Everton's opponents were all top seven teams. During this period, Everton drew 0-0 with Arsenal, drew 0-0 with Chelsea, and drew 1-1 with Manchester City, which is not a bad result. Unfortunately, Dyche encountered a new boss who loves to change coaches, namely the Roma owner Friedkin Group. Roma first fired Mourinho, sweeping out the meritorious coach Mourinho who helped Roma win the Europa Conference League championship and the Europa League runner-up. For the stingy Friedkin Group, investing in the team is too expensive, and changing coaches is the cheapest approach. Looking at it this way, Dyche's experience is not surprising at all. There are reports that Mourinho is expected to take over Everton, but this is just wishful thinking from the media and fans. Mourinho will not leave Fenerbahce casually, let alone accept an invitation from the Friedkin Group. Therefore, Everton brought back the meritorious coach Moyes to continue their previous relationship. Last time, Moyes coached Everton for 11 years, and it is unknown if he can last more than…

In the Spanish Super Cup final that concluded on January 13th, Beijing time, Barcelona made a remarkable comeback to defeat Real Madrid 5-2, securing their 15th Spanish Super Cup title in history. This victory marked Barcelona's first championship of the season and also the first trophy for coach Flick since his appointment. Despite conceding an early goal within the first five minutes to Mbappe's lightning-fast solo effort, Barcelona launched a fierce counterattack. The prodigious talent, Amal, equalized in the 22nd minute, and by the end of the first half, Barcelona had taken control of the game with goals from Lewandowski's penalty kick, Rafinha, and Balde, leading to a 4-1 scoreline. In the second half, Rafinha scored again to complete his brace, although Barcelona briefly played with one less player after Szczesny was sent off. Rodrigo managed to pull one back for Real Madrid with a direct free-kick, but Barcelona ultimately maintained their lead and triumphed 5-2. This season, Barcelona has achieved a "double kill" over Real Madrid in their two encounters, scoring a total of 9 goals. Last October, Barcelona had already defeated Real Madrid 4-0 away in La Liga. Three months later, they have once again emerged victorious. According to statistics, this is the most significant margin of defeat for Real Madrid in an official match final since their 0-3 loss to Deportivo La Coruna in the Spanish Super Cup final on August 24, 1995. Barcelona has undoubtedly rubbed salt into the wounds of their arch-rivals. Additionally, this marks the seventh time in this century that Real Madrid has…
