It's not easy! The former head coach of the national football team has been re-employed in Europe! His debut will be against a Premier League giant! If we simply compare achievements, Guangzhou Evergrande is undoubtedly the most successful club in the domestic league. Besides investing heavily to introduce excellent domestic and foreign players, the coaches are also very distinguished. "Silver Fox" Marcello Lippi and "Big Phil" Luiz Felipe Scolari are both World Cup-winning coaches. Even Fabio Cannavaro, who was a young coach, had numerous honors during his playing career, including World Cup winner, FIFA World Player of the Year, and UEFA Footballer of the Year. Compared to the aforementioned predecessors, Cannavaro's coaching resume seems quite "thin." During his tenure in the Chinese Super League, he led Guangzhou Evergrande to win the 2018 Super Cup and the 2019 Chinese Super League championship, making him a meritorious coach in the history of the club. Additionally, he also served as the interim head coach of the national team. However, upon returning to Europe, he seemed to have been playing the role of a firefighter. First, in September 2022, he became the head coach of Benevento in Serie B, but unfortunately, due to poor results (3 wins, 7 draws, 7 losses), he was sacked by the club. Then in April 2024, he took over Udinese in Serie A in a precarious situation, helping them secure relegation with a record of 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, finishing 15th. However, he did not receive a contract renewal. It is reported that Cannavaro signed a…

Manchester City has recently been in a dire situation, losing matches left and right since the past few months. They can't even defeat relegation-threatened teams, causing Pep Guardiola to be constantly worried and frustrated, and the fans are so angry they want to swear. This once-mighty club now seems like a pile of mud, unable to get up. Kyle Walker used to be fast and tough in defense, but now he's just like an old man, strolling around on the field. When opponents speed up, they leave him three meters behind, making people anxious. His condition is getting worse day by day. Bayern Munich wanted to sign him last season, but Guardiola insisted on keeping him. Now, this decision seems to have backfired. Every time Walker steps onto the field, it's like a ticking time bomb, ready to cause an own goal for the team at any moment. This veteran is now struggling with basic defense. When opponents make a slight move, he can't keep up with the rhythm. The clean tackles he used to make are gone, replaced by various pulling and tugging fouls. Fans are furious at his performance, with constant criticism on social media, demanding that he be sold as soon as possible. This state is indeed untenable, and he is becoming less and less helpful to the team. Walker is now just a decoration, barely able to serve as a substitute. Every time he plays, it's a disaster. There are countless defensive lapses, and offensively, he can't even make a decent cross. His salary is not…

This season, Manchester United has undoubtedly hit rock bottom. After the recruitment and leadership of former coach Ten Hag, the team has set various disgraceful records. However, even after the appointment of new coach Amorim, there are no signs of improvement. In this situation, fans have begun to doubt whether Manchester United will really be in danger of relegation this season. With the opening of the winter transfer window, Manchester United is set to make some big moves. They will be active in the transfer market, seeking reinforcements and strengthening the squad. Coach Amorim's first priority is to strengthen the striker position, and they are targeting one of the hottest forwards in European football at the moment, Zhe Kairui Shi. This outstanding forward from Sporting Portugal has always been a key player for Amorim, scoring an impressive 64 goals in just 58 matches in 2024. This feat has placed him at the top of the European goal-scoring charts, earning official recognition and rewards. It's undeniable that Zhe Kairui Shi has truly made a name for himself in the past two years, with even Manchester City considering signing him as a potential replacement for Haaland in the future. Amorim plans to leverage his personal relationship with Zhe Kairui Shi to secure his signature, making him the starting center-forward for Manchester United. It's a fantastic piece of news for the club to acquire such a prolific and powerful striker. Amorim's connections with Sporting Portugal also mean that Manchester United can potentially "snatch" this goal-scoring sensation for a bargain price of 100 million…

Milan's new coach is keen on acquiring new players, targeting a disappointed striker from Manchester United and a former national team-level winger. The possibility of Zirkzee continuing under Amorim is decreasing, with the coach interested in returning to his successful past in Italy. Several Italian giants, including AC Milan, recognize his potential. The new Milan coach, Conceicao, has proposed a transfer plan to sign Zirkzee, which could be an opportunity for him to return to Italy and adapt more quickly than in England. However, Zirkzee's price may not be low, as he was recently purchased by Manchester United. Conceicao also suggested renting Chiesa, who is eager to return to Italy due to lack of opportunities at Liverpool. Both transfers would require significant financial support, and it remains to be seen if Milan's management will approve these proposals, which are also desired by Juventus, potentially leading to intense competition between the two teams.

If the worst-case scenario unfolds, Manchester United faces the risk of losing their lucrative partnership with Adidas, should the club be relegated from the Premier League this season. Such a dreadful fall from grace seemed unimaginable until Ruben Amorim admitted that, following a string of dreadful results, the club was "clearly" embroiled in a relegation battle. United have lost five of their last six Premier League games and are only seven points above the third-bottom spot at the halfway point of the season. This is a far cry from the brief honeymoon period under Amorim when they defeated Everton at Old Trafford, being just six points off second place. The club's kit deal with Adidas was renewed 18 months ago, set to commence in 2025, marking the second decade-long run for the pair after initially reuniting ten years ago. The figures attached increased from £750m to a reported £900m, making it the most valuable such deal in world football overall. However, there are contract clauses that protect Adidas from pouring money into a lame duck, and these clauses have now surfaced given the turmoil on the field. In the accounts published by United for the 2023/24 season, the new Adidas deal was announced, confirming the following: "If the men's first team does not participate in the Premier League in any year, Adidas may reduce the applicable payment for that year by 50%. "Furthermore, if the men's first team is relegated from the Premier League, or if it is determined that the men's first team will not participate in the Premier…

Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho was once a key player in the team's youth training and Ten Hag's absolute mainstay. However, since Ruben Amorim took office, he has rarely been able to start. He was even excluded from the squad for last month's derby victory over Manchester City, with reports suggesting that the real reason was his disagreement with the head coach and ignoring his requirements. After the Manchester derby, Amorim told the British media that Garnacho and Rashford were excluded because they did not meet his standards in many aspects, including their choice of attire, interaction with teammates, and of course, their performance on the pitch. Garnacho returned to the bench in subsequent games but did not start. The Daily Mail explained that Garnacho lost his place after ignoring tactical instructions from the coach before the Europa League match against Manchester City. It was reported that during the Europa League match against Viktoria Plzen, Amorim issued instructions from the technical area, but Garnacho ignored him and walked away. Liverpool legend Graeme Souness mocked Manchester United, saying that the dressing room is now filled with disrespectful "vipers," and the players always fail to stay calm, needing to find some real men. The 20-year-old Garnacho denied disrespecting the coach, with his agent claiming it was a misunderstanding. Manchester United officials declined to comment, with insiders stressing that there was no conflict between Amorim and Garnacho. Garnacho improved his attitude and was given another chance to play. He listened more attentively when the coach arranged tactics before his appearance. However, Manchester United…

In the midst of the new Premier League season, Arsenal has shown strong competitiveness with a second-place ranking at the halfway point. However, the team's current situation is a mixed bag of joy and concern. On one hand, they have conceded as few goals as Liverpool, with both teams tied at 17 goals, demonstrating the robust stability of their defense. On the other hand, Arsenal's goal tally is seven fewer than Liverpool's, indicating that they must strengthen their forward line. The Gunners' top scorer, Havertz, has only managed to score 7 goals in the Premier League this season, which is not ideal for a team aiming for the title. The injury to Saka has added to the team's woes, further impacting the firepower of the forward line and creating a sense of urgency for the entire squad. In light of this, reinforcing the forward line during the winter transfer window has become an urgent priority for Arsenal. Fortunately, Arteta has received financial support from the club, who are willing to back him in the transfer market. It is reported that Arsenal has identified eight potential targets for reinforcement. Now it remains to be seen which of these targets will be easier to secure. Within the Premier League, three players have caught Arsenal's attention. Isaac is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among them. The Swedish striker is in excellent form, having scored 13 goals and provided 4 assists in 20 matches across all competitions this season. However, his asking price exceeds £150 million, which may deter Arsenal. Additionally, 25-year-old Brazilian striker Cunha…

It has been one and a half years since Cristiano Ronaldo left his old club Manchester United to join Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. During this period, the president played 83 games for the team in various competitions, scoring 74 goals and adding 18 assists. The 39-year-old is still one of the top forwards in football. Among the things that make Ronaldo most regretful is that he has never helped Al Nassr win a championship trophy; at that time, both sides signed a two-year contract, which means that their contract will expire at the end of June this year. So far, there has been no news of renewal between the two sides. Therefore, the famous media score90 said that it is very likely that the two sides will part ways peacefully when the contract expires, and also listed the teams that the Portuguese superstar may join next. As we all know, Ronaldo is a very disciplined team and has an endless desire for championships, so leaving Al Nassr is just natural. This time, it was reported that Paris Saint-Germain is interested in signing the Portuguese superstar, and soon after, French media RMC came out to say: the two sides have not had any dialogue at all; In addition, Beckham's Miami International also revealed that Ronaldo and Messi will cooperate in an epic way. Score90 even bluntly said that this is a beautiful wish. Miami International is now Barcelona's "old people's home". The team has Messi, Suarez, Alba, Busquets. If Ronaldo really joins, where will he play? Moreover, the relationship between…

Arsenal's title race in the Premier League seems to be on solid ground with an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak. However, their performance against Brentford, known as a "troublesome team," raises questions about whether this streak truly reflects their strength or masks underlying issues. Let's delve into the details of their recent match. The match started with Arsenal fans experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions as they found themselves at the bottom of the hill just 13 minutes into the game. Brentford capitalized on their forte—quick counterattacks—and Mbuemo's goal sent the home crowd into a frenzy. Brentford's counterattack was executed brilliantly, leaving Arsenal with little room to breathe. For a mid-table team like Brentford, such a "fast, accurate, and fierce" tactic is crucial for survival. And it proved effective at home, where they had an impressive record of seven wins, one draw, and one loss before the match. However, Arsenal is no pushover. In the 29th minute, Jesus' follow-up shot leveled the score. This goal highlighted his recent hot form—his sixth in four matches! His keen sense of timing and ability to be in the right place at the right time make him a striker who can "always find a way to shine." In the second half, Arsenal found their rhythm. In the 50th minute, Merino's follow-up shot from a corner kick put them ahead. Just three minutes later, Martinelli calmly slotted the ball into the net to extend the lead to 3-1. This quick turnaround left Brentford reeling, as if they were "knocked down before they knew what hit them." The…

As a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, Manchester United's performance in the new season is undoubtedly unsatisfactory. After half of the league, they are only ranked 14th in the standings, with a huge gap of 23 points from the top Liverpool. The more pragmatic goal for the Red Devils now is no longer to compete for the championship or the top four, but to avoid relegation! Many fans attribute the continuous decline of Manchester United to the players, as they have failed to make effective transfers in previous transfer windows, bringing in many high-paid but underperforming players, which has led the team into its current predicament. To rebuild Manchester United, the first thing new coach Amorim must do is to carry out a major clean-up of the team's lineup during this winter transfer window! According to reports from multiple foreign media, Amorim has already prepared a list of players to be cleaned up, with a total of 6 players on the list, including the team's "Prince" Rashford, the 100 million Mr. Anthony, forward Zirkzee, midfielders Casemiro and Eriksen, as well as Lindelof on the defensive line. Among them, Lindelof and Eriksen's contracts will expire this summer. Considering that Manchester United does not plan to renew their contracts, selling these two players during the winter window has become the best choice to avoid them leaving as free agents at that time. Although Casemiro's contract still has one and a half years left, due to his significant drop in form, he has also been put on the transfer list by the…
