Recently, there has been a lot of talk about Mourinho possibly returning to the Premier League. This comes after his stint coaching Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super League this season, where he failed to deliver the expected results. Concerns have arisen over whether Mourinho might choose to leave at the end of the season due to his team's poor performance. Not only has Mourinho struggled to achieve good results with Fenerbahce, but his relationship with the Turkish Super League officials is also quite strained. He has openly criticized the league's referees and organizers on multiple occasions, stating that their management and refereeing are subpar, even going so far as to say it's the worst he's experienced among the leagues he's coached in. Mourinho's actions have undoubtedly angered the higher-ups in the Turkish Super League, making it difficult for him to continue coaching there. The prospect of Mourinho returning to the Premier League has become a hot topic, particularly with Newcastle United, currently fourth in the league, who have long sought to invite Mourinho to coach. The club's major backer shares a close relationship with Mourinho, who also serves as an advisor to their football academy. They have previously discussed the possibility of collaboration, but Mourinho chose to decline in favor of continuing to coach Roma. However, it now appears that returning to the Premier League is what Mourinho truly desires. The Premier League offers top-tier referees and a high level of attention, with player salaries and transfer fees significantly higher than those at Fenerbahce or his previous club, Roma. Mourinho…

In the Premier League, the once rapidly collapsing Blue Moon has been unbeaten in five rounds since Christmas, with a thrilling 6-0 victory over Ipswich in the 22nd round away from home, returning strongly to the top four and stabilizing the situation! Veteran fans predict that while it's uncertain if Manchester City will win the title this season, their final ranking is sure to be higher than Arsenal! Pep Guardiola's team has been spending lavishly in the winter transfer window, splashing out a whopping 150 million euros, signing players like Maroush, Husanov, and Reis, and renewing the contract with the talented forward Haaland for a decade. This has set ablaze a fiery passion amidst the cold winter, demonstrating the relentless ambition of the club backed by its wealthy owners. And this is not all; the Blue Moons are gearing up for another assault in the winter window! This season, Draper's performance at Ipswich has been nothing short of spectacular, emerging as one of the most pleasant surprises in the Premier League. The English striker has made 21 appearances for Ipswich, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists. Achieving such statistics in a team with a weak lineup is truly commendable! Draper has quickly caught the attention of giants like Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea, who have all extended their invitations. Last summer window, the 21-year-old Draper transferred to Ipswich from Manchester City for 20 million pounds. However, the cunning Blue Moons had cleverly included a buy-back clause worth 30 million pounds in the contract, leaving room for the player's…

Manchester City, akin to a martial arts master in the Premier League realm, has long dominated the league. However, this season has seen a bit of a "derailment." Halfway through the season, they find themselves in sixth place in the Premier League, which is the lowest league ranking in Pep Guardiola's managerial career and also the lowest position since the club's takeover. This performance has indeed come as a shock to many. Looking back at last summer's transfer window, Manchester City was rather low-key, only bringing in the young Brazilian winger Savigno from Girona through an internal transfer. There was hardly any other activity until the deadline day when they signed their old captain Gundogan back from Barcelona. At that time, many media outlets and experts were skeptical, wondering if relying on this young and old duo could lead Manchester City to a fifth consecutive Premier League title. In hindsight, this prediction turned out to be quite conservative. How have this young and old pair performed? Savigno, though inexperienced, has been one of the few bright spots for Manchester City in the first half of the season; Gundogan is familiar with Guardiola's tactics but struggles physically, unable to keep up. Therefore, it's clear that Manchester City needed reinforcements in this winter window, or they would really struggle. With substantial financial resources and consistent surplus income, Manchester City embarked on a crazy "buying spree" during the winter window. Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano's repeated "Here We Go" announcements saw Manchester City sign three players in six days, spending over €150 million. And…

Liverpool's strong performance in the Premier League this season has actually exceeded fan expectations. Last season, the team collapsed in the final stages of the title race, coupled with Klopp's departure, and Slot was not favored when he took office. However, at this point in the season, Liverpool has become the top-ranked team in the Premier League, with a very obvious points advantage. The key to achieving such results is also very important for Slot's use of the substitute lineup, and the depth of the lineup gives Slot a clear advantage in tactical adjustments. In multiple cases where Liverpool trailed this season, they changed the situation on the field through substitutions. Both Nunez and Jota have performed at the level of substitute trump cards. Liverpool, which was once thought to lack depth in the squad, has now become the envy of other teams, especially in the midfield and frontcourt, where Slot still has many options. Under the fixed starting lineup on the front line, the competitiveness of the team can be enhanced through different lineup combinations, and the different styles of several players also increase the changes in tactics. The reasons for this situation are mainly composed of several aspects. First, the internal potential tapping and growth of young players within the Liverpool team. The growth of Hrafnberg allows Liverpool to have stable midfield defense, and Endo also brings more choices to Slot. Although Quansha's performance is not stable enough, he can still bring rotation options to the team when he comes out at the last time, plus Bradley and…

Recently, according to British media "Mirror" exposure, in order to completely get rid of the current dilemma and let Manchester City return to the normal track as soon as possible, the senior management of Manchester City decided to fully support Guardiola and launch a large-scale buying mode during the winter window. Fortunately, Manchester City has the strong financial backing of the Middle Eastern consortium, allowing them to do so. It is understood that Manchester City has prepared a huge transfer budget of up to 250 million pounds for this winter window, planning to sign six new powerful reinforcements. It can't help but make people sigh: money is arbitrary. Once Manchester City really signs six new strong reinforcements, the second half of the season will be quite worth looking forward to. The pattern of the Premier League title race may change dramatically. Previously, Manchester City's signing of Norwegian center forward Haaland for a 10-year long-term contract has caused an earthquake in European football. This 10-year new contract will bring Haaland a salary of up to 240 million pounds, which is enough to prove Manchester City's high regard and reliance on this front-line killer. Data shows that after joining Manchester City, Haaland quickly became the team's first major weapon in the frontcourt with his excellent physical quality and finishing ability in front of the goal. Keeping him means keeping the goal-scoring machine. In terms of player transfer operations, Manchester City's new director Viana worked closely with Begiristain and made significant progress on multiple fronts. They are actively promoting the signings of Egyptian…

Arsenal had the opportunity to win against Aston Villa but ended up drawing 2-2 after leading by two goals. The match was marred by a VAR controversy over a handball decision against Havertz, which did not overshadow Arsenal's recurring issue of faltering in crucial moments. Despite the VAR controversy, Arsenal's inability to maintain their lead and secure victory highlighted their vulnerability in high-pressure situations. Since Mikel Arteta took over as Arsenal's manager, the team has made unprecedented investments in the transfer market. Arsenal's spending has consistently increased, with Arteta actively seeking reinforcements during each summer and winter transfer window. However, despite significant investments, the team's performance has not matched these expenditures. In the past six years, Arsenal has only won one FA Cup, with other title aspirations often falling short at critical moments. Compared to other top clubs, Arsenal's achievements seem modest. Under Pep Guardiola, Manchester City has been both defensively solid and offensively potent, consistently winning trophies. Meanwhile, Arteta's Arsenal has struggled to break into the top four. Erik ten Hag at Manchester United managed to win two titles in just two years, while Arteta has yet to breakthrough in the Premier League and European competitions. Arsenal's substantial investments have not translated into expected returns, becoming a heavy burden for Arteta. He faces pressure from the media and growing expectations from fans. Arteta's tactical approach emphasizes possession, aiming to control the game's rhythm through precise ball control. While possession can enhance a team's organization, it becomes meaningless if it does not effectively translate into offensive threats. Arsenal's offensive struggles…

Moussa Sarr has also grown into a super star in the football world, even during the European Cup in Germany last summer. The German team gave him the ace No. 10 jersey, but after Moussa Sarr demonstrated his worth and abilities, Bayern Munich realized they needed to renew his contract as soon as possible. Bayern has now offered Moussa Sarr a new contract, hoping to provide him with a top salary of 20 million euros. Initially, the Bayern management believed that such a generous salary offer would be enough to keep Moussa Sarr, but an unexpected turn of events occurred. Moussa Sarr has been hesitant to renew his contract and has even expressed a desire to leave. The editor-in-chief of German media outlet Bild, Christian Falk, along with his team, reported a concerning development for fans: Moussa Sarr is very keen on moving to a more prestigious club. He wishes to include a breach of contract fee of 170 million euros in his renewal contract. Concerned about potentially losing this top talent for nothing, Bayern is considering conceding to this demand. This concession suggests that Bayern acknowledges the significant challenge of retaining Moussa Sarr. With such a concession made, Pep Guardiola, who has long been interested in Moussa Sarr, will likely make a targeted move to acquire this powerful talent. Bayern's influence in European football has significantly diminished, making it difficult for them to hold onto such top-tier talents.

Facing a promising situation with a two-goal lead, Manchester City unexpectedly collapsed in the final moments! Although they didn't lose, being scored twice by their opponents turned three points into one, which indeed made Manchester City fans particularly angry. Until the last moment, Brentford still had multiple chances to score a decisive goal. If it weren't for Ake's miraculous performance in front of the goal, it would have been a struggle for Manchester City to even get a point. Not winning means that the team is one step further away from their hopes of making a comeback and winning the title. After the game, Guardiola found goalkeeper Ortga and reprimanded him emotionally and intensely. It is clear that Guardiola believes Ortga bears significant responsibility for the late-game conceded goals. Looking back at this conceded goal, it is obvious that Brentford, in an attempt to equalize the score, had fully pressed forward at this point. At this time, there were significant issues with Manchester City's defensive positioning; the players were not close enough to each other, and there was insufficient pressure on the ball carrier. Mentally, it seemed they did not take it seriously enough. Moreover, several attacking players still wanted to counterattack and thus did not fully retreat to defend. Lewis Potter evaded the defense and easily sent the ball into the penalty area, where Norgaard headed the ball past Akangi to score. This goal was indeed beautiful, and with its close proximity and considerable power, it was difficult for the goalkeeper to make a save, let alone Ortga who…

Guardiola is really in a mess. After achieving good results with Manchester City, he has recently been criticized by many fans and media for the team's performance. Just as fans were expecting him to bounce back and lead Manchester City back on track in the new year, it was revealed that Guardiola had divorced his wife, Cristina Serra. According to El Periodico de Catalunya, Guardiola and Serra have been separated since December 2022, but they asked their friends to keep it a secret to minimize the impact.

They have two daughters and a son, with the eldest now 24 years old and the youngest daughter already 17. With Guardiola's support, his eldest daughter has become an internet celebrity with millions of followers, while his eldest son serves as the CEO of three companies. Now that Guardiola is divorced, many fans are curious about how much property he will have to give to his wife. Let's first take a look at how much property Guardiola has.
