Inter Milan Wins 2-0, Fiorentina Loses 1-2, Serie A Standings in Chaos: Third Place Only 3 Points Behind the Top On the morning of December 24, 2024, Beijing time, a focus match of the 17th round of Serie A was held, with defending champion Inter Milan hosting newly promoted team Como. Before the game, Inter Milan had 10 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss, accumulating 34 points, playing two fewer games, lagging 6 points behind the leader, and temporarily ranking third. Como had three wins, six draws, and seven losses, accumulating 15 points, ranking 16th, and two points more than the relegation zone. In the last three encounters between the two sides, Inter Milan won all three games, showing that Como had no advantage against Inter Milan. In the last 10 games, Inter Milan won 8, drew 1, and lost 1, losing 0:1 to Leverkusen away in the Champions League and drawing 1:1 with Napoli at home in Serie A. Como surprisingly defeated Roma 2:0 at home in the previous round. In this game, Inter Milan lined up in a 3142 formation at home, with Sommer as the goalkeeper, and the three defenders from left to right were Carlos, Augusto, Bastoni, and Bisek. The single defensive midfielder was Calhanoglu, and the four midfielders from left to right were Dimarco, Mkhitaryan, Barella, and Dumfries. The two forwards were Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, with a starting lineup worth 511 million euros. Como's strength is quite limited, with a starting value of only 54.8 million euros. Belotti led the team, and Spanish…

The Christmas matches in the Premier League have arrived, with several top teams' performances drawing attention. Liverpool defeated Leicester City 3-1 in the 18th round, while title contenders Chelsea lost 1-2 to Fulham. Additionally, Manchester City drew 1-1 with Everton, Tottenham lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest, and Manchester United suffered a 0-2 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers. This season's Premier League standings have become chaotic, with Italian giants Juventus letting go of one player, which has also affected the Premier League landscape to some extent. Juventus took a significant loss by selling their top central defender for 15.2 million euros, who is now shining in the Premier League and has become the core of his new team's defense. In the latest Premier League standings, Liverpool tops the table with 42 points from 17 rounds, followed by Chelsea with 35 points from 18 rounds, Nottingham Forest with 34 points from 18 rounds, and Arsenal with 33 points from 17 rounds, ranking second to fourth. Newcastle and Bournemouth both have 29 points from 18 rounds, ranking fifth and sixth. Manchester City, Fulham, and Aston Villa all have 28 points from 18 rounds, ranking seventh to ninth. Furthermore, Tottenham has 23 points from 18 rounds, ranking 11th, and Manchester United has 22 points from 18 rounds, ranking 14th. Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are two dark horses in this season's Premier League. The former finished 17th last season, while the latter finished 12th, both showing significant improvement this season. In the latest round, Bournemouth drew 0-0 at home against Crystal Palace. In this match, Bournemouth's…

On December 27th, in the Premier League Boxing Day fixture, Manchester United faced off against Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home. Bruno Fernandes' red card changed the course of the game, leaving United with ten men after the 47th minute. They ultimately lost the match while playing a man down. Wolves player Cunha scored one goal and provided one assist, directly scoring from a corner kick and then assisting Hwang Hee-chan's goal. The defeat to Wolves, with a scoreline of 0-2, has made it clear to Amorim that the £55 million new star is lazier than Rashford, having played 15 games without scoring or assisting any goals. Last season, Manchester United finished 8th in the Premier League, and this season they are likely to rank even lower. Currently, United has only managed 6 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses in 18 Premier League matches, accumulating 22 points and sitting in 14th place, which is the seventh from the bottom, with an 8-point lead over the relegation zone. Despite having a squad value of 790 million euros, placing them among the top in the league, their league position is disappointingly low. There are several high-priced but underperforming players in the United squad, whose individual abilities do not match their market value. These include Marcus Rashford and Joao Felix at 55 million euros, Garnacho at 50 million, and Menu among others. Menu, who shares the same valuation as Rashford, also seems overpriced. In the match against Wolves, Menu started and was substituted after 63 minutes. He had 3 key passes and 1 tackle,…

Today is a crucial day for Olmo's registration in La Liga! It has been reported that if Barcelona fails to successfully register Olmo, the player will be free to leave. Moreover, several Premier League teams have expressed interest in the player, including Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal. The player's agent has also been spotted in Manchester. In addition to Olmo's registration issues, Barcelona forward Victor is also facing difficulties in being registered. In terms of transfers, Leverkusen central defender Jonathan Tah is about to make a decision. Barcelona hopes the player will decide in January whether to accept the club's invitation to join in the summer, with Barcelona offering a contract until 2030. Given the abundance of options at the center-back position, Barcelona will not renew Christensen's contract. He will enter the transfer market at the end of the season, as Premier League clubs are interested in him. Barcelona's stance on Araujo's renewal issue is very clear: Araujo's situation is the same as De Jong's. If they do not renew their contracts before the end of the season, they will be pushed into the transfer market. It is reported that Barcelona captain Araujo now prefers to renew his contract and stay with the team, especially after experiencing injuries. As for De Jong's situation, it remains undecided. Especially since De Jong has not played in the last two matches, it seems that he has lost Flick's trust. Barcelona's goal is to raise more than 30 million euros this summer through indirect transfers: 8 million euros from selling Todibo for 40…

According to data from Transfermarkt, Bayern Munich has experienced a significant turning point, relinquishing the top spot in the Bundesliga standings for the first time since 2010. They currently trail Bayer Leverkusen by an astonishing 10 points. In the 2024 Bundesliga season, Bayer Leverkusen has taken the lead with 80 points. This team won the title undefeated last season and has continued its strong performance this season, securing 4 points in two direct encounters with Bayern. Such outstanding performances have made them the undisputed dark horse of the Bundesliga. Following Bayer Leverkusen is Stuttgart in third place. However, Borussia Dortmund has faced difficulties. This team, which has consistently ranked in the top three of the Bundesliga over the past nine years, now only has 61 points and ranks fourth. This season, Dortmund's state has been poor, accumulating only 25 points, a far cry from their peak performance in the past. The rise of Bayer Leverkusen has broken Bayern's long-standing dominance in the Bundesliga, making the competition even more intense. Can Bayer Leverkusen maintain their advantage and keep the top spot until the end of the season? Will Bayern Munich be able to regroup and reduce the gap with Bayer Leverkusen? Can Borussia Dortmund regain their form and return to the championship race? The future schedule of the Bundesliga is full of suspense, and the performance of each team has undoubtedly become the focus of fans.

Goodbye, Real Madrid! "Old Florentino" decides to sell a 100 million Euro star! Aerial Dominant Center-back may join in the winter window Real Madrid's season has been full of ups and downs, one moment it looks like they're about to take off, the next it feels like they're about to crash. The defensive line is particularly worrying, with injuries piling up like a heavy frost, causing great concern. The defensive line is riddled with injuries, teetering on the brink Real Madrid's defense is truly a headache now. Militao and Carvajal, two mainstays, are out for the season, which is a huge blow. Mendy is also injured, making it feel like it's raining misfortunes when the house is already leaking. There weren't enough defenders to begin with, and now they're really stretched thin. Ancelotti must be pulling his hair out, having to rely on midfielders like Camavinga and Tchouameni to fill in at the back. This just won't do; these young players haven't even fully established themselves in midfield, and now they're being thrown into the deep end at defense. It's like throwing ducks into the water; if they get injured again, it would be a double loss. Bacca can still step in at right-back, but he's not a specialist, so it always feels a bit awkward. The defense is like paper-thin, making it worrisome to watch. There are still many matches in the second half of the season, and if they face strong opponents again, will this defense hold up? It's enough to make you fear the worst. If more…

After Manchester United's 0-2 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers, coach Ruben Amorim's actions at Molineux Stadium sparked transfer rumors. The 39-year-old Portuguese coach entered the field and embraced Matheus Cunha, the opposing team's core player who had one assist and one goal in the match, playing the role of a nemesis for the Red Devils. United's failure to neutralize Cunha was a key reason for their defeat; he scored directly from a corner kick to open the scoring and assisted Hwang Hee-chan in stoppage time to secure the win. Interestingly, Cunha has long been rumored as a potential target for United, with the 25-year-old former Atletico Madrid player previously linked with a move to Old Trafford. If Cunha were to transfer to United, he could play as a center forward or one of the two number 10 positions in Amorim's 3-4-3 formation, potentially replacing Bruno Fernandes, who has faced criticism over the past two years. The 30-year-old B Fee renewed his contract this summer for a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds, only to fall victim to the curse of United stars whose performance declines after a pay raise. In addition to Cunha, United has also been linked with Barcelona's Dani Olmo this week, who is facing registration issues in the new year. If Barcelona cannot register him, Olmo could be available for a free transfer. His agent, Andy Bara, is reportedly in Manchester and watched the City vs Everton game. Should this situation occur, United would consider signing Olmo, but there is one problem: the team's current poor form means the…

Shanghai Port's Five Tigers to Join Nantong Zhiyun in Winter Transfer Window! Leading the Team to Promote Next Season, National Team Twin Stars Take the Lead Shanghai Port's Five Tigers are set to join Nantong Zhiyun in the winter transfer window! They will lead the team to promotion next season, with the national team's twin stars taking the lead. Hey, fellow football fans, I've got some explosive news for you today! Have you heard? The mighty tigers from Shanghai Port are rumored to be making a collective move to Nantong Zhiyun! This isn't just idle speculation; it's a solid transfer rumor, so let's take a closer look at what's going on. Speaking of Nantong Zhiyun, their performance in the Chinese Super League this season has been quite worrying. Honestly, they've been playing rather mediocre, lacking highlights and persuasiveness. As a result, they were relegated to the China League One a round early. When this happened, Nantong Zhiyun fans were desperate, hoping that the club could be promoted back to the Super League. Why? Because both Wuhan Three Towns and Cangzhou Mighty Lions have been plagued by wage arrears scandals that seem unlikely to be resolved in the short term. Fans were thrilled at the prospect that if these two Super League teams couldn't meet the entry requirements, Nantong Zhiyun might have a chance to fill the vacancy. Unfortunately, things didn't go as hoped. Wuhan Three Towns managed to save themselves and will definitely appear in the Super League next season. The situation for Cangzhou Mighty Lions is less optimistic, with…

In the world of football, there is a classic saying that roughly translates to: "Arsenal never fails to disappoint when it comes to underperforming!" This description seems particularly apt for Arsenal this season, as they seem to have started dropping the ball even earlier, since they never really got their act together! Under Arteta's guidance this season, Arsenal has been lukewarm and lacking in passion. After 17 league rounds, they have achieved a record of 9 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses, accumulating 33 points and temporarily ranking 4th. They have already fallen 9 points behind the league leaders, Liverpool. It appears that Arsenal will once again aim for a top-four finish this season, despite the fact that Guardiola's Manchester City has faltered and Chelsea has risen impressively. At this juncture, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta made a surprising statement, claiming that their squad is one of the weakest in the Premier League this season! Such words are truly shocking! Is this the Spanish manager trying to excuse the poor results, or is it just his level of rhetoric? It's too... too corporate! Looking at Arsenal's current lineup, each position boasts either the best or close to the best two-player configuration in the entire Premier League. How can he say it's thin? The defense has a surplus of players, with the likes of Zinchenko, worth 30 million euros, and Kjell, worth over 20 million euros, unable to even secure a substitute spot. Sterling, earning 100,000 pounds a week, is only fit for rotation in the League Cup. Moreover, Arsenal's total wage…
