On January 3rd, in the Italian Super Cup semi-final held in Saudi Arabia, Inter Milan faced off against Atalanta. Inter Milan continued their good form against Atalanta, scoring two goals in the second half. Denzel Dumfries scored with an overhead kick and then blasted a world-class shot to help Inter Milan advance to the final. Their opponents in the final will be either Juventus or Milan, and winning again would secure a fourth consecutive Italian Super Cup title for Inter Milan. Inter Milan fielded their full-strength lineup, while Atalanta rotated their squad, with key players such as Lookman, Ederson Silva, and De Ketelaere waiting on the bench. Denzel Dumfries was the key player for Inter Milan in this match. In the 49th minute, he headed the ball during a corner kick, followed by a spectacular overhead kick that broke through Atalanta's goal. In the 61st minute, Dumfries scored another difficult goal with a direct long-range shot during a counterattack. Inter Milan has won seven consecutive matches against Atalanta and remains undefeated in their last 14 encounters. Although Atalanta often performs strongly against other teams, Inter Milan seems to have found a way to control them. This might be the reason why Atalanta chose to rest their main players in this match, with Gasperini strategically giving up on the Italian Super Cup. In this match, the performance of Inter Milan's captain Lautaro Martinez was once again questioned. After finally breaking his goal drought in the previous game, he failed to score again in this match. Lautaro played the entire game, attempting…

In the race for the 2024 Ballon d'Or, Rodri successfully won the award by defeating Vinicius. After becoming the first Ballon d'Or winner from the 90s generation, there were various opinions about the competition for this year's Ballon d'Or. As a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo also shared his views, supporting Vinicius to win the award. Now, Rodri is standing up to Ronaldo to defend his Ballon d'Or. Official response! Rodri talks about the Ballon d'Or again, leaving Ronaldo embarrassed. At the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony, Ronaldo openly stated: "Vinicius should have won the Ballon d'Or; it's unfair that he didn't. I say this in front of everyone. Rodri deserves the award, but Vinicius even more so. Because Vinicius has a Champions League title and scored in the final." Vinicius won the Best Player award at the Globe Soccer Awards, to which Ronaldo commented: "Awards should be given to those who truly deserve them, but these awards always do the same thing. The Globe Soccer Awards are a truly honest honor, which is why I like the Globe Soccer Awards; keep it going." While saying this, Ronaldo gave a thumbs up to the Globe Soccer Awards. Apparently, Ronaldo is questioning Rodri's win and the Ballon d'Or, believing that the Globe Soccer Awards are more authoritative. During an interview with AS, Rodri was asked about Ronaldo's doubts. Rodri said: "Ronaldo's comments surprised me because he understands the workings of the Ballon d'Or better than anyone else, knowing how the winners are selected." Rodri also mentioned: "The journalists voting for this…

The competition in the Saudi league is fierce. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's full efforts this season, scoring 16 goals and providing 3 assists in 19 appearances for Al Nassr, averaging one goal per game, Al Nassr only ranks fourth in the Saudi league, 11 points behind the top team, Al Ittihad Jeddah. The competition in the Saudi league is brutal, and big-name players who perform poorly are quickly sold by their teams. In 13 games, there were 0 goals and 0 assists! Al Nassr returns the player: discarding the core midfielder from Ligue 1, Ronaldo hits the nail on the head. The winter transfer window of 2025 has opened, and Al Nassr has made adjustments to its squad, with some players confirmed to be leaving. Officially, Rennes has signed Ivorian midfielder Fofana from Al Nassr, signing a contract for four and a half years. It is reported that Fofana's transfer fee is 20 million euros. In the summer of 2023, Al Nassr signed Fofana from Lens for a transfer fee of 25 million euros, and now Fofana has returned to Ligue 1. Judging from Fofana's team changes, Ronaldo's comments on the Saudi league and Ligue 1 are very accurate. When Fofana was playing for Lens, he was the team's main player and captain. In the 21-22 season, Fofana played 38 times in Ligue 1 for Lens, contributing 8 goals and 1 assist. In the 22-23 season, Fofana played 35 times in Ligue 1, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists. Lens ranked second in Ligue 1 that season, only one point…

The winter transfer window of 2025 has opened, and Barcelona's cleaning operation is also underway. On January 3rd, authoritative news from Cadena SER reported that Eric Garcia is about to join Girona for a total transfer fee of 10 million euros. The source pointed out that Eric Garcia will become the first player to leave Barcelona in the winter window. At the same time as Olmo and Victor are registered, Barcelona will also announce Eric Garcia's departure. Cadena SER wrote: Barcelona is working hard to register Olmo and Victor, at this moment, Girona approached Barcelona to inquire about Eric Garcia. Girona's coach Michel has an immense desire for Eric Garcia, with the player's transfer fee being around 10 million euros. "Sport" followed up on the report, stating that Eric Garcia is very close to joining Girona. This is an "unexpected thunderbolt" for Barcelona, and within hours, Eric Garcia's deal will be completed. Selling Eric Garcia can bring in 10 million euros, which is a much-needed financial relief for Barcelona. The 24-year-old Eric Garcia joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer of 2021. In the 2023-24 season, Eric Garcia was loaned to Girona, making 30 La Liga appearances and scoring 5 goals, becoming an absolute mainstay in the team's dark horse miracle. After returning to Barcelona, Eric Garcia did not have many opportunities to play, with Kounde and Inigo Martinez forming the main central defensive partnership. Once Christensen and Araujo return, Eric Garcia's playing time will be further reduced. Leaving Barcelona is a rational choice for…

Due to poor results and ranking 8th in Serie A, AC Milan has changed their coach. Coach Fonseca, who only coached for half a year, was abandoned by Milan, and his Portuguese compatriot Conceicao became the new coach of Milan. Conceicao had an outstanding coaching performance at Porto, helping the team win three Portuguese Super League titles and other honors, and once eliminated Ronaldo's Juventus to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Milan hopes to revive under Conceicao's leadership. Conceicao's "three fires" upon taking office! Reusing players discarded by Fonseca, selling the Milan captain, and the first signing of the winter window emerges. On January 3rd, according to the report by Milan sports reporter Biajin from the Italian media "La Gazzetta dello Sport," in the upcoming semi-final of the Italian Super Cup against Juventus, Tomori and Jaf were paired as central defenders in training, and Tomori is expected to start against Juventus, with Gabbia possibly coming off the bench at that time. Fonseca did not pay enough attention to Tomori's use, and in the last five games he coached Milan, Tomori only came on as a substitute once. The English central defender became a marginal figure at Milan, closely linked with Juventus. With the change of leadership, after Conceicao took office, Tomori will get opportunities. This player, who previously helped Milan win the Serie A title, may experience changes in his Rossoneri career and have the chance to continue playing for Milan. Although Calabria is the captain of Milan, he has had few opportunities this season, making 10 appearances…

Argentina's men's football team has been one of the most successful national teams in recent years, winning the World Cup, two Copa Americas, and the South American-European Super Cup. With their outstanding achievements, Argentine players have become highly sought after. Even though Messi has retired from European leagues, his Argentine successors, such as Alvarez, Enzo, McAllister, and De Paul, have shone brightly in European leagues. With the winter transfer window open, more Argentine players are making their way to European leagues. Congratulations to the Argentina team! Two frontline stars have landed in Europe: a 19-year-old genius reinforcing Manchester City, and Lyon adding strong support. Manchester City had already secured the signing of Argentine player Echeverri from River Plate last year, with the player joining City in January this year for a transfer fee of 18.5 million euros. According to reports from Romano, Echeverri's arrival at City has been delayed, and the club has agreed to let him participate in the upcoming U20 Copa America. He is expected to start playing for City in February. Echeverri, standing at 1.7 meters tall, is known for his free-roaming forward play and core playstyle. He is capable of dribbling, passing, and shooting, earning him the nickname "New Messi." In the U17 World Cup held in 2023, Echeverri scored five goals, helping the Argentine team reach the semi-finals. His current market value is 18 million euros. City's performance this season has been poor, and they need Echeverri to provide additional firepower. On January 3rd, according to reports from French newspaper L'Équipe, Argentine player Almada, who…

After the New Year, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Saudi team Al-Nassr has only six months left, expiring at the end of June this year, and currently there is no renewal. Therefore, the famous media score90 has listed the potential destinations for Ronaldo, including Newcastle, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Miami, Al-Hilal, and Sporting CP. Two years ago, Ronaldo left his old club Manchester United to play in the Saudi league. He has now played 83 games for Al-Nassr in various competitions, scoring 74 goals and providing 18 assists, which is still a very impressive record. The only regret is that since Ronaldo joined, he has never helped Al-Nassr win any championships. For this reason, Ronaldo has the idea of leaving Al-Nassr, also in pursuit of championship honors. However, the team reporters from Al-Hilal and Sporting CP have already refuted the rumors. Now it is reported that Paris Saint-Germain is interested in signing the Portuguese superstar, but soon French media RMC responded that PSG has not had any dialogue with Ronaldo, nor are there any indications that the club wants to sign him. At the same time, Inter Miami is also unlikely because Messi is still in the team, and Suarez, Alba, and Busquets are also playing there. In the new season, they may even introduce Neymar. Moreover, Ronaldo has no connection with Messi or those stars who played for Barcelona. Therefore, the team that Ronaldo is most likely to sign with will be the wealthy Premier League team Newcastle. The rumors between the two sides have been going on for…

In the 25th round of the Premier League, Manchester City won a thrilling victory over Arsenal with a score of 3-1, reigniting the suspense in the title race. In this match, City's forward Erling Haaland once again demonstrated his scoring prowess, netting six goals in four games and leading his team to an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak, exerting immense pressure on league leaders Liverpool. From the outset of the game, Manchester City displayed a strong offensive intent. The outstanding performances of key players like Haaland and De Bruyne bolstered City's attack. Despite facing Arsenal's tight defense, City remained patient, searching for opportunities. Their persistence paid off when De Bruyne delivered a precise long pass in the first half, which Haaland expertly anticipated, sprinting through to face the goalkeeper one-on-one and calmly slotting the ball into the net to give City a 1-0 lead. This goal injected even more confidence into Manchester City, who continued to push forward in the second half, seeking to extend their lead. Meanwhile, Arsenal attempted to find openings through counterattacks but were largely unsuccessful against City's solid defense. Just as fans thought the game might end 1-0, City struck again. During a corner kick, Stones soared high to head the ball towards the goal, the ball arcing beautifully into the top corner, doubling City's lead to 2-0. This goal ignited the passion of City fans, who showered their team with applause and cheers. Arsenal, however, did not give up. They launched a fierce assault later in the game and managed to pull one back through Saka.…

The year 2024 has become a thing of the past, during which the national football team experienced numerous challenges and opportunities. The official authorities also solemnly listed the team's goal-scoring chart for the year. Wu Lei scored 4 goals with his outstanding performance, rightfully ranking at the top, while Bai Helamu and Zhang Yuning also demonstrated their remarkable abilities, each scoring 2 goals. In addition, Wei Shihao, Fernandinho, Xie Weneng, and Lin Liangming contributed to the national team's goals with their own efforts, each scoring 1 goal. It was precisely because of their excellent performances that the national team successfully advanced from the top 36 to the top 18, preserving a glimmer of hope for a direct qualification to the World Cup. On the third day of the New Year, the national team received an exciting piece of news. According to the latest comprehensive reports from domestic media, 27-year-old Zhang Yuning has been targeted by La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, with head coach Diego Simeone personally selecting him to join the team. This decision is closely related to the current lack of a regular center forward within the Atletico squad. If Zhang Yuning successfully signs with Atletico, he will become the first Chinese player in the club's history, and it would also mean that the La Liga stage will welcome the presence of a Chinese player after a gap of 2 years. Looking back two years ago, Wu Lei bid farewell to Espanyol, and since then, there have been no Chinese players in the top five leagues, a situation that…

For Arsenal, after maintaining an unbeaten streak in nine consecutive league matches, they have managed to get back on track. Looking at the situation on the Premier League leaderboard, they are six points away from the top. Considering that the current schedule is just over halfway through, such a gap is not insurmountable. In the eyes of outsiders, Arsenal's top priority is to strengthen their squad effectively through the winter transfer window, especially in the positions of center forward and left winger, where they need to sign more competitive players to truly enhance the team's offensive efficiency. Objectively speaking, during this period of the season, if we only consider the performance from the attacking end, Arsenal's performance has not actually reached their highest level. Saka's injury is undoubtedly a key factor. This English international is almost the only player in Arsenal's attack who can bring about a "quantum change" for the team, whether it be individual breakthroughs, delivering threatening passes, or directly finishing off opportunities, he is the backbone of the team. So far this season, Saka has scored 9 goals and provided 13 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions, directly contributing to 22 goals. Fortunately, Enwane looks to have shown good abilities and potential, and is expected to fill the void to some extent during Saka's absence. In addition, as one of the team's "dual cores," Odegaard's performance in most matches this season has not been ideal. So far this season, Odegaard has only scored 1 goal and provided 4 assists in 16 appearances. From his on-field performance,…
