I'm back, I'm back, Ten Hag! Since being sacked by Manchester United, he hasn't stopped. He has appeared many times to watch games in the Eredivisie and is not a regular at the Westfalenstadion in the Bundesliga. However, Ten Hag has a good relationship with Dortmund's advisor Sammer. Running from the Netherlands to Germany to watch the Yellow Bee's game, it feels like there's something going on. However, last Friday, he came to enjoy Dortmund's home defeat to Leverkusen. Is this to prepare for taking over the team? This possibility is indeed very high. In the 17th round of the Bundesliga, after Dortmund lost 2-4 away to Holstein Kiel (second to last in the Bundesliga points table), according to the latest reports from German Sky Sports and Spanish "Marca", the current Dortmund coach Sahin is very likely to be sacked, and his successor is none other than former Manchester United manager Ten Hag. Isn't that exciting? He was fired by the Red Devils just last October, but only two months later, another big club invited him to coach. It's surprising, isn't it? Could it be that his sacking by Manchester United was an "ancient injustice"? To be fair, the current Manchester United is not a team that a coach can put back on track. They shout about revival every day, and change coaches like watching lanterns. Now they've changed owners, and there are many "uncertain factors" within the club. Although Ten Hag had conflicts with many players during his time at Manchester United and spent a lot of the club's…

Completed! Bayern's First Signing On January 16th, Beijing time, German media outlet Sky Sports Deutschland exclusively reported that Hoffenheim midfielder Tom Bischof has decided to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer, with a medical scheduled for next week. What a plot twist! After a 5-0 victory over Hoffenheim, he's joining Bayern. What's going on here? Very impressive indeed! Tom Bischof, the 19-year-old German midfielder, has made 14 starts and one substitute appearance in the Bundesliga this season, contributing two goals and one assist in 1169 minutes of play. His defensive statistics are outstanding, averaging 3.5 tackles, 1.1 interceptions, and 1.6 clearances per game. This performance naturally attracted the attention of many German clubs, with RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt making significant efforts recently, both hoping to poach him. Unfortunately for them, the player's first choice was to join Bayern, which turned out to be a mutual decision. Bischof still has half a year left on his contract with Hoffenheim, and according to regulations, he can negotiate with potential new clubs. Bayern has now signed a pre-contract agreement with him, pending a medical examination, after which he will officially join the club in the summer. In terms of overall quality, the player is not an immediate contributor but is considered a promising prospect, similar to winning a lottery ticket. However, signing him for free is clearly a great deal. He is positioned as the fourth-choice midfielder, intended to replace Goretzka. Firstly, it's cost-effective. Secondly, if he performs well, it's a huge gain; if not, there's no loss. From a team-building…

Recently, the news of Shandong Taishan renewing their contract with Liu Guobo has caught the attention of many fans. However, this renewal is not a major headline, as the details of the contract have not been disclosed in depth, and even the specific duration has not been explicitly stated. According to the official website of Transfermarkt, the renewal will last at least until the end of 2026. It seems that Shandong Taishan still holds high hopes for the future of this tall striker. Liu Guobo may not be a name familiar to many. Standing at 1.89 meters, he is a genuine center forward, only 26 years old, considered a young and strong player. In 2017, he represented Shanghai and won the U18 championship at the National Games, beginning to make a name for himself in domestic football. The following year, he transferred to Beijing Guoan, starting his professional career. Although he played for Beijing Guoan for five seasons, his appearances were limited, totaling only 22 matches in the Chinese Super League, contributing one goal and one assist. He is not a big star, but most fans are probably not unfamiliar with him. In the 2023 season, Liu Guobo joined Shandong Taishan, and there was some anticipation that he would get more opportunities in the first team. Unfortunately, he did not play in the first line of Taishan but was loaned to Zibo Qisheng and Tai'an Tiankuang in the China League Two. Although his playing time in Tai'an Tiankuang was not long, only participating in three rounds of matches, he persisted…

For the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, under the leadership of rookie coach Kompany, they currently lead the defending champions Bayer Leverkusen by one point with one less game played in the league. Alonso's team has not lost since being defeated 4-0 by Liverpool in the Champions League on November 6, 2024, and has achieved a 10-game winning streak in the league, cup, and Champions League, showing an unstoppable momentum that vaguely resembles the invincible Bayer Leverkusen from last season. Seeing the strong momentum of Bayer Leverkusen, perhaps Bayern Munich's heart is also somewhat shaken! At least in Kompany's mind, it is absolutely not so calm, after all, if there is any slip-up in the league, the championship will be lost. In January's winter window, Bayern Munich is ready to make a spectacular move in the transfer market. Bayern midfielder Kimmich almost left the team last season, with Bayern setting a transfer price of 35 million euros, but he eventually chose to stay. The 29-year-old German international has played 24 games for Bayern this season, scoring 1 goal and contributing 6 assists. Currently, Kimmich is negotiating a contract extension with Bayern, and rumors of his departure are rife, as Kimmich's agent is himself, and he openly admits to having talks with several clubs, believing that his chances of staying are greater than last year, but he has started to listen to offers from other teams. There is a saying in the football world, Kimmich is the ball-blind filter within Bayern fans! Kimmich is known for his physical fitness and super stability,…

In today's football world, top-class center forwards have always been a rare commodity. Those who exist are often the main strikers in the top five leagues and rarely leave their teams under normal circumstances. As a result, top-class center forwards in the transfer market are almost non-existent. However, Zhekerai Shi, the forward from Sporting Portugal of the Portuguese Super League, is a sought-after striker. As the highest-valued player in the Portuguese Super League, his desire to play in one of the top five leagues is well-known. The management of his parent club also knows that they cannot keep their star player, so they treat any interested big-name clubs equally, hoping for a bidding war that would bring them a substantial profit. Multiple media outlets have reported that Manchester United manager Amorim wants to bring his protégé Zhekerai Shi to Old Trafford to solve the team's weak front line. However, Manchester United is still observing the situation, with little actual action despite much noise. Recently, Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga and Barcelona from La Liga have joined the race aggressively. Although Bayern has the powerful Kane and Barcelona boasts the rejuvenated Lewandowski, both are over 30 years old. No one knows how long they can maintain their current form. Therefore, signing Zhekerai Shi now to prepare for the future is a wise move. Moreover, Sporting Portugal's asking price is not too high, around 80 million euros. In today's football market where player prices are often inflated, bringing him to the team at such a price seems like a good deal. Last…

The dust has settled! Real Madrid's new coach has been revealed! A 43-year-old young coach takes over, and the undefeated Bundesliga championship is more appealing than Zidane. Real Madrid can now confirm that they will definitely be changing coaches. The club is currently looking to select a new head coach, as Ancelotti's contract expires at the end of this season, and he will be leaving. Everyone is eagerly anticipating who will become Real Madrid's next head coach. It now appears that the 43-year-old young coach from the Bundesliga, Xabi Alonso, will be the top candidate for Real Madrid's new coach. This time, Real Madrid is also considering allowing Alonso to join the club in the summer, offering him a top-tier salary package and significant transfer funds. This will enable Alonso to build the squad he desires, with Real Madrid particularly hoping that he brings Wirtz along to play for them. Last season, the two of them winning the Bundesliga undefeated was naturally a very impressive feat. As a former superstar who played for Real Madrid, Alonso naturally fits the club's selection criteria. In fact, Real Madrid had previously considered the possibility of Zidane coaching, but ultimately chose to reject this option because Zidane has been waiting for a call-up from the French national team, and whether he will return is still uncertain. During his second stint as Real Madrid's coach, Zidane did not achieve the expected results. Therefore, at this point, it makes sense for Real Madrid to appoint a younger and more promising coach like Xabi Alonso. Alonso did…

Enzo Maresca criticizes Renato Vega after Chelsea's "full agreement" with Dortmund After learning that Chelsea had reached a "full agreement" with Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca harshly criticized defender Renato Vega. The 21-year-old player has been constantly promoted in the Lisbon Athletic Team and was signed from Basel Football Club for about 12 million pounds during the summer transfer window in 2024. Vega's versatility has allowed him to perform outstandingly this season, having played 18 times in various events. Before joining Chelsea, he mainly served as a central defender or defensive midfielder, but this season he has spent most of his time as a left-back. His excellent performance at Chelsea earned him a spot on the Portuguese national team, but he seems dissatisfied with Maresca's use of him and is seeking to leave. On Monday morning, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that he had "fully agreed" with Bundesliga team Dortmund. He said, "Renato Vega is expected to leave Chelsea because the club has opened the door for his permanent departure instead of a loan." "Chelsea hopes to let Vega go for about 30 million euros to meet his request to play as a central defender instead of a left-back." "Dortmund has reached a full agreement with Vega Football Club regarding the contract/project." Now, head coach Maresca has responded to this speculation and severely criticized Vega, saying he would "get into trouble" if he only focused on playing one position. Maresca said, "I don't know if Dortmund has reached any agreement with Renato." "Yesterday, he worked with us here.…

Can Manchester City Continue Their Winning Streak Away at Brentford on January 15, 2025?‌ At 3:30 am Beijing time on January 15th, the 21st round of the Premier League will witness a heavyweight clash as Brentford hosts Manchester City. In their first meeting this season, Manchester City narrowly defeated their opponents 2-1, and this away trip could present a significant challenge with the opponent's potential counterattack. Currently with 34 points and ranked 6th, Manchester City is only 2 points away from the Champions League zone. Although their performance was inconsistent at the start of the season, the team has recently shown a clear improvement in form. In the last two league matches, they successively overcame Chelsea and West Ham United, with the most recent 4-1 victory highlighting the team's formidable attacking power. Striker Erling Haaland currently leads the Premier League scoring chart with 16 goals, and his performance is crucial to Manchester City's victories. Additionally, the midfield organizing abilities of Foden and De Bruyne have provided strong support for the team. Brentford has accumulated 27 points this season and is ranked 11th. While their average of 1.9 goals per game on the offensive end is impressive, with Mbuemo and Wissa being key pillars, their average of 1.75 conceded goals per game on defense leaves them vulnerable against strong opponents. Notably, they have suffered defeats in their last two home games, making their home advantage less pronounced against top teams. Looking at the historical encounters between the two teams, Manchester City holds a clear advantage. In the last seven meetings with…

Certainly! Here is the translation of the article content into English: Nowadays, while Musiala is fighting for Bayern and weaving dreams for the future of the German national team, several challenges at the contract negotiation table have put this football superstar in an unprecedented dilemma. An annual salary exceeding 24 million euros sounds like an astronomical figure, but in the exchanges between Bayern and Musiala's team, the issue is not about money, but rather in the "details": the termination clause. Musiala's team insists on adding a termination fee of 175 million euros to the new contract, which Bayern firmly rejects. On one side is the young talent's demand for autonomy in the future, and on the other is Bayern's unwillingness to budge from tradition. This negotiation seems to be only about a piece of paper, yet it reflects the deep-seated changes in the relationship between clubs and players. Among the new generation of stars, Musiala has long shed the impression of being a "child." He has a dream of winning the Ballon d'Or, which is normal; which 21-year-old genius doesn't want to stand on the top podium of world football? But the question arises: are Bayern's current conditions sufficient to support him in achieving this goal? If you are not familiar with Musiala, his story can be described as "talent defines everything." Remember in 2020 when a teenager just turned 17 made his first appearance in Bayern's starting lineup? The way he played was like a masterpiece painted by someone. He wasn't in a hurry to prove himself, but every…
