On the morning of January 11, the first match of the 16th round of the Bundesliga saw Dortmund host Bayer Leverkusen. In this highly anticipated matchup, Bayer Leverkusen emerged victorious with a 3-2 win away from home, securing all three points. Leverkusen's Hickey scored twice, while Tera found the net as well. Despite goals from Gittens and Girassi, they were unable to save their team. As Leverkusen grows stronger, Arsenal fans feel increasingly regretful. Arsenal has suffered a significant loss by misplacing their trust in Tazi Brother: they undervalued and sold their midfield engine, who is now leading his new club to ten consecutive victories. After defeating Dortmund away, Bayer Leverkusen has been on a winning streak recently, winning every game they've played. Starting from late November last year, Leverkusen defeated Heidenheim 5-2, Red Bull Salzburg 5-0, Union Berlin 2-1, Bayern Munich 1-0, St. Pauli 2-1, Inter Milan 1-0, Augsburg 2-0, Freiburg 5-1, and Rot-Weiss Oberhausen 2-0. They have now also triumphed over Dortmund. Bayer Leverkusen currently sits second in the Bundesliga standings, only one point behind Bayern Munich after playing one more game, posing a significant threat to Bayern once again. In the DFB-Pokal (German Cup), Leverkusen has already eliminated Bayern. In the UEFA Champions League, Leverkusen ranks fourth and is the only Bundesliga team currently in the top eight qualifying zone. Last season, Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and the German Cup, finishing as runners-up in the Europa League, with only one defeat in 53 matches. This season, they have already secured the German Super Cup, proving that they…

Bundesliga + Serie A: Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Bayern Munich I've been looking forward to this match since last month, with Borussia Mönchengladbach hosting Bayern Munich at home. This season, Mönchengladbach has performed exceptionally well at home, aside from losing their first two home games at the start of the season. They have secured five wins and one draw in the following six home matches, a performance that is commendable in the Bundesliga, especially considering Mönchengladbach's mid-tier status. However, Mönchengladbach has a unique characteristic; they always seem to get fired up when facing Bayern, delivering thrilling matches where the players perform as if injected with adrenaline. I believe Coach Kompany might have a headache today, as I anticipate Mönchengladbach has a chance to upset Bayern. If not, they should at least be able to hold their ground.

Recently, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions officially announced that it has awarded Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen the National May Day Labor Medal. The news quickly sparked heated discussions and attention from fans and media. The "National May Day Labor Medal" is an honorary medal awarded by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions to athletes who have made outstanding contributions in socialist construction. Athletes awarded the National May Day Labor Medal receive medals, certificates, and bonuses from the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. This time, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions officially announced a total of 32 athletes on the list, including Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen, which also proves that Zheng Qinwen's performance has been recognized. Over the past year, Zheng Qinwen's performance has indeed been commendable. At the beginning of the year at the Australian Open, Zheng Qinwen entered the Grand Slam final for the first time in her career. She is also the second Chinese athlete to enter the Grand Slam final after Grand Slam champion Li Na. Although she eventually finished as runner-up with regret, this is also Zheng Qinwen's best result in Grand Slam events in her career. Later at the Paris Olympics, Zheng Qinwen competed for the first time. Zheng Qinwen overcame all obstacles and eventually won the championship. This is also the best result for Chinese athletes in the event at the Olympics, and the first time an Asian athlete has won the championship in the event. Zheng Qinwen has created history. The previous best result for Chinese women's tennis was Li Na reaching…

Neymar, as a top superstar in the world of football, has indeed not lived up to the expectations placed upon him. At the peak of his career, he chose to leave Barcelona and join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which left fans with many questions. Indeed, during his time at PSG, Neymar did not meet the expectations that others had for him. After joining the Saudi league, Neymar became a player that fans felt sorry for. Throughout his career, he was never able to win the Ballon d'Or. In the Saudi league, he only played 5 games in two years, and even after this season, he was unable to secure a contract renewal. Now, Neymar, who will be leaving the Saudi league, is set to become a free agent without any teams interested. Originally, Neymar had expressed his intention to join Inter Miami and reunite with his older brother Messi. However, it now appears that Neymar, driven by money, is unlikely to choose to join Inter Miami. In an interview, new Inter Miami coach Mascherano was asked about Neymar's potential signing. Mascherano responded, "I can clearly tell you that we will be making targeted reinforcements for the 2025 season. However, we are unable to directly sign Neymar. His salary demands far exceed the salary cap of the MLS." From this statement, it is clear that Neymar is likely demanding a super salary, a level that Inter Miami cannot provide. Therefore, Neymar is likely to abandon brotherly affection for wages, and even Messi cannot persuade this Brazilian superstar.

According to Sky Sports, Liverpool has included Brentford forward Bryan Mbuemo, valued at 50 million euros and priced at 50 million pounds, on their shortlist and may sign him this year. At the beginning of the season, new Liverpool manager Arne Slot faced questions about his tactical integrity and how much of Liverpool's strong start was due to Jurgen Klopp's legacy. Some claim that the Dutchman grew under the protection of his predecessor, but as Liverpool confidently entered the new year atop the Premier League and Champions League standings, such arguments have become increasingly weak. Klopp's passion and counter-pressing style can be found in this Liverpool team. The visual illusion on the field can give the appearance of Klopp's system, but don't be mistaken; Slot definitely has his own style. Despite the heavy workload and lack of activity in the summer transfer window, he has molded the Anfield team into his own image. Liverpool is now more relaxed, less manic and energetic. They score more goals and concede fewer. This is a hallmark of Slot's style, ensuring the team can raise its intensity to the highest level when needed while also being able to calm down at any time. This summer, Federico Chiesa was signed for an astonishing 12.5 million pounds, but due to injury issues, he has only played four times. With Darwin Nunez's future also uncertain, Liverpool's owner Fenway Group may authorize the signing of a top player this year or even this month. According to Sky Sports, Liverpool plans to sign Brentford forward Mbuemo. Under Thomas Frank's…

Barcelona, as one of the top football clubs in the world, has always been highly attractive. However, in recent years, due to financial issues within the team, there have been many disharmonious events within Barcelona. One of the more obvious reasons is that Barcelona is no longer as attractive to players as it once was. A key factor is that Barcelona is indeed unable to pay top-tier salaries to its players. Lionel Messi left the club because of significant financial problems within Barcelona. Now, another talented player that Barcelona has focused on developing, Ronald Araujo, is also dissatisfied with the club's salary arrangements and wants to leave. This time, Barcelona knows they cannot keep Araujo. Araujo wants to demand a huge contract renewal, even though he has risen in status within the team over the years and become a key defensive player. However, due to his fragile physique, Araujo often gets injured and needs rest, so Barcelona must consider his absences if they want him to be the core of their defense. Therefore, Barcelona is not keen on giving him a top-tier contract renewal. Araujo has made it clear that he will leave in the winter transfer window. Juventus has now stepped in to try and sign Araujo. Barcelona is willing to sell the player for just 45 million euros in the winter window. Once Juventus completes the signing, their defense will be secure for the next 10 years. Barcelona will lose this talented defender they have cultivated for many years.

This season, Liverpool sits atop the league table, leading second-place Arsenal by six points and leaving last season's Manchester City far behind. In the Champions League, they have maintained an undefeated record and sit at the top of the rankings, truly achieving a double harvest. This success is inseparable from the performance of their midfield trio: McA, Sobos, and Gla. Liverpool has completed a midfield overhaul in just one and a half years. McAlister can be considered one of the top five midfielders in the Premier League. Whether it's organizing and connecting plays or defensive interceptions, he is a skilled player. With him on the field, Liverpool always seems to be unbeatable. His solid playing style is more reminiscent of a seasoned veteran rather than a player who has just turned twenty-six, with a demeanor akin to that of Luka Modric. Sobosloj, handsome and talented, is an indispensable player for Liverpool in his position. His constant movement makes him the most reliable teammate to McA and Gla. His performance is as steady as Toni Kroos, and he will deliver a decisive blow whenever the opportunity arises. Grafenberg is currently the first-choice holding midfielder in the Premier League. Due to Rodri's injury absence, Gla has shown exceptional abilities this season. He possesses a wise mind unlike other black players, handling the ball calmly and making accurate defensive positioning, making him a rare talent. With the support of these three new midfield stars, it is believed that Liverpool will shine brightly this season. The dream of a treble that former head coach…

First Major Transfer of the Winter! The €80 Million Man Reaches an Agreement The collective braking of military vehicles has given City the opportunity to catch up. Although Manchester City has only won 3 out of their last 11 games, with a record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 6 losses from round 10 to round 18, they are only 2 points away from the top four. This season, the departure of Alvarez has exacerbated the problem of Haaland's lack of substitutes and the homogenization of forwards, and the issue of weak attack must be resolved. Manchester City's midfield and backline are facing problems of aging and injuries, especially after Rodri's injury absence, the team lacks a leader, and the midfield is almost paralyzed. Since there is still hope for the top four, Manchester City will strengthen the front, middle, and back lines this winter. Now Manchester City has secured a striker and a defender first. Meeting the €80 million asking price! According to Sky Germany, Manchester City and Marmoush have reached a comprehensive verbal agreement on personal terms. On January 10th, Sky Germany reporter Pleitenberg and Patrick Berger reported that Manchester City and Marmoush have reached a comprehensive verbal agreement, and the personal terms have been agreed upon. He hopes to transfer immediately, and his teammates already know that Marmoush wants to join Manchester City, and Frankfurt is ready to let the player go, with an asking price of €80 million for Marmoush. But by the summer window, Frankfurt will significantly reduce the asking price. Currently, Manchester City is…

Mourinho's tenure with the Turkish Super League team Fenerbahce this season has not been going well, and there have also been some conflicts between him and the club. What makes it even more difficult for Mourinho to coach is his relationship with the Turkish Super League officials. Mourinho has repeatedly criticized the Turkish Super League in interviews and public occasions, believing that it is an unprofessional league with many problems in the referees' decisions. These actions have also made Mourinho offend many people here, and recently there have been rumors that Mourinho wants to return to the Premier League. The news reported this time was unexpected, which was that Mourinho wanted to return to Everton in the Premier League to coach. However, the two sides only started contact, but then famous reporter Ben Jacobs also reported a more regrettable news. Famous reporter Ben Jacobs said: "Currently, although Everton has decided to change coaches, after consideration, they have decided not to continue contacting Mourinho. Because the owner of Everton, Friedkin, is the owner of Rome. Their cooperation back then was very unpleasant. So this time he asked the club not to invite Mourinho to coach." This report also made us understand that this Roman owner really hates Mourinho a lot. Even if their group's Everton wants to change coaches now, they refuse to let Mourinho become a candidate. He is completely unwilling to continue any cooperation with Mourinho. Mourinho has indeed offended too many people over the years. As a result, he now wants to return to the top five leagues…

For Arsenal, although the team's recent performance has shown some improvement and the situation in the league standings has improved, considering that there are still obvious weaknesses in the team's lineup and their tactical approach this season is somewhat monotonous, their championship prospects do not look promising. According to British media reports, Arsenal management has made a decision to adjust the squad during the winter transfer window. Several key players will be let go, while the team will also welcome some top-level reinforcements. In the eyes of outsiders, the main reason why Arsenal's offense has been criticized this season is Arteta's obsession with set-piece tactics. The team's offensive goal is to create free kicks and corners in the frontcourt, losing the characteristics of penetrating through short passes, cutting combinations, and quick counterattacks to tear apart the opponent's defense. To achieve this goal, Arteta has focused on recruiting tall players with excellent heading ability in the last two transfer windows. Merino came to the team under such circumstances. However, this tactical approach also brought significant drawbacks, namely that when the efficiency of scoring from set-pieces decreased, Arsenal found it difficult to score enough goals through other means. At the same time, due to the accumulation of many tall and slow midfielders, the midfield operation efficiency was significantly poor. Especially when facing the opponent's fast counterattack, Arsenal's central midfielders and holding midfielders find it difficult to get into position in time, putting great pressure on the backline. Moreover, among Arsenal's current midfielders, whether it is Merino, Jorginho, or Declan Rice who is…
