Approved! Barcelona announces the signing of Rashford Beijing time on January 14, Spanish media "Daily Sports" and "Marca" revealed that Barcelona coach Flick approved the signing of Rashford. Great approval! In fact, it's not surprising. As always, Rashford has a bad reputation, but he still has value, and there's no problem with trying him out for half a season on loan. Barcelona has been talking about signing a winger for a long time, and their previous targets were Leao, Kvaratskhelia, and Nico Williams. This winter window has seen a huge change. Kvaratskhelia received a fivefold salary increase to join Paris Saint-Germain, and coach Conte expressed his disappointment at the deal in a press conference on the 13th, saying he was powerless to stop it, which is now almost certain. Barcelona's best option is gone, leaving only Leao and Nico. The former is AC Milan's star player, and the asking price will not be lower than 80 million euros. Nico Williams wants to go to the Premier League, and his release clause of 60 million euros needs to be paid in full. Barcelona can't afford it, as Olmo only requires an annual amortization of 8 million. Signing Nico would be financially explosive. Rashford is not lacking in ability. He has top speed and finishing skills, and his passing seems to have improved over the past year. However, his poor reputation has made him a constant target of criticism, and his perceived laziness on the field has overshadowed his actual abilities and performances. Barcelona is not afraid that he lacks ability; they…

Real Madrid, after successfully recruiting Kylian Mbappe during the off-season, initially struggled to find their form due to a lack of team cohesion. However, as the season progressed, the "Galactic Battleship" gradually regained its former glory and returned to the top ranks of the La Liga title race with its strong strength. On the other hand, Barcelona, a long-time rival of Real Madrid, started the season in excellent form, demonstrating a powerful dominance that could be described as heroic. However, in the past seven consecutive league matches, Barcelona experienced a dramatic downturn, winning only one game. This poor performance led them to plummet down the La Liga table to third place, trailing the current leaders by a significant six points, a situation that is not optimistic for them. It is worth noting that in the first leg of the season, Barcelona achieved a resounding 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, giving them a clear psychological advantage ahead of this match. On the day of the match, both teams' coaches deployed aggressive lineups. Real Madrid's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, continued with his 4-2-3-1 tactical system. Mbappe, like a sharp dagger, was positioned as the lone striker, leading the charge. Vinicius, Bellingham, and Rodrygo followed closely behind, providing continuous offensive support. In midfield, Camavinga and Valverde partnered as double pivot, taking on important responsibilities for midfield organization and defense. In defense, Chuameni temporarily played as a center-back, joining Rudiger, Mendy, and Vazquez to build a solid defensive line. As for Courtois, he stood focused in front of the goal, ready to…

As the undisputed king of football today, Cristiano Ronaldo maintains an excellent competitive state at the age of nearly 40, coupled with his super high commercial value, making many European giants covet him, and he seems to be getting closer and closer to returning to the Premier League. Currently, three European giants, Chelsea, Paris, and Newcastle, are all pursuing Ronaldo. Especially the wealthy Chelsea, after the team suffered consecutive defeats, they urgently need Ronaldo, this spiritual leader, to lead the young Blues forward, while transforming Chelsea into a more well-known top club. On the other hand, Newcastle, backed by the Saudi consortium, can enjoy more convenience in their transfer operations involving Ronaldo, which also gives them the lead in the race to sign Ronaldo. So, who will be Ronaldo's new home for the new season? Recently, renowned football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has given a definitive answer. According to his information, although Ronaldo is eager to return to Europe and play on stages like the Champions League, after considering various factors, Ronaldo has decided to renew his contract with Al-Nassr. At that time, his contract will end in the summer of 2026. It is precisely because of his loyalty and huge influence that Ronaldo will receive a pay raise, with his annual salary reaching 220 million euros. Looking at the world of football, at the age of 40, it is still terrifying to have such a money-making ability, and Ronaldo is undoubtedly the GOAT in this field. After all, Messi's annual salary in the MLS is only 60 million euros,…

Compared to previous seasons, La Liga giants Real Madrid's performance this season is clearly not up to par, falling far short of the expectations of Real Madrid fans. In particular, this La Liga giant has recently suffered consecutive defeats, being thrashed by their arch-rival Barcelona in the national derby, and even a once-declining Serie A team can ride roughshod over them. After Real Madrid's loss to Milan in the Champions League, Kylian Mbappe inadvertently became the target of criticism, with various accusations, doubts, speculations, and rumors. First, it was reported that Mbappe dislikes Ancelotti's tactics and only wants to be the core player. Then, there were reports that Mbappe has mental issues, leading some fans who dislike Real Madrid to openly mock, asking if Real Madrid is foolish for spending so much money on a "psychopath." The question arises: With the star-studded lineup of La Liga giants, Mbappe is not the only player worth hundreds of millions. Since Mbappe is currently not considered a core figure at Real Madrid, in other words, Ancelotti has not formulated any tactics centered around Mbappe. So why do people blame Real Madrid's slump solely on Mbappe? I believe there are two reasons: firstly, Mbappe's arrival was hard-won, and secondly, too many people have overestimated Mbappe's abilities. First, let's talk about how hard-won Mbappe is. Any fan of Real Madrid knows that the Spanish giants went to great lengths to bring Mbappe into their ranks. Back in the day, even acquiring Cristiano Ronaldo did not require such effort. Despite Mbappe just becoming a knight in…

The landscape of French football has experienced a new change! Just yesterday, the French Football Federation officially announced that Didier Deschamps had resigned from his position as head coach of the national team. This legendary coach, who once led France to the pinnacle of world football, ultimately could not withstand the rumors of conflict with Kylian Mbappé. More dramatically, it seems that Mbappé's behind-the-scenes strategy has succeeded, casting suspense over France's future and sparking heated discussions among fans: Is it the end of Deschamps' era or the beginning of Mbappé's new era? On January 12, 2025, the French Football Federation announced through an official statement that Deschamps had resigned from his position as head coach of the French national team. This decision was not sudden, as France had previously failed to reach the final trophy in consecutive European Championships and World Cups, with external doubts already widespread. The internal conflicts within the French team were also magnified by the media following multiple public "confrontations" between Mbappé and Deschamps. Since taking over as head coach of the French national team in 2012, Deschamps has led the team through countless highlights. Undoubtedly, the most memorable moment of his coaching career was the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where France, under his command, fought its way through and eventually lifted the trophy. However, as time passed, Deschamps' tactics came under increasing criticism for being "outdated," especially during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where France reached the final but lost disappointingly to Argentina in a penalty shootout. In the 2024 European Championship, France…

Real Madrid's journey in the Champions League has suffered a heavy blow, with a 0-2 away defeat against Liverpool plunging the team into a massive crisis. This loss is not only about the scoreline but also marks the second consecutive defeat for Real Madrid in the Champions League, causing their ranking to slip to 24th, leaving their chances of qualifying on thin ice. Kylian Mbappé, who was brought in by Real Madrid with significant investment this summer and was expected to be the key figure to change the game, has underperformed. In the match against Liverpool, Mbappé failed to demonstrate his expected abilities, falling into a state of depression. This has made him the target of criticism and significantly reduced the attacking power of Real Madrid. According to Spain's "Diario Sport," since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has struggled to integrate well into the team system. The match against Liverpool magnified his difficulties, as both his mental and physical states have reached their limits, making it challenging for him to perform at his best on the field. To change this situation, the Real Madrid management has decided to take action by changing coaches. The news also suggests that Real Madrid plans to bring back Zinedine Zidane, the 52-year-old football legend who shares a special connection with Mbappé. Zidane was Mbappé's childhood idol and had a significant influence on his football development. During the process of Real Madrid signing Mbappé, Zidane played an important role as a communication bridge. When Mbappé made his debut at the Bernabéu, Zidane even temporarily served as…
