In this year's winter transfer window, the biggest transfer so far is probably Malmush's move to Manchester City. According to media reports, the transfer fee is a fixed 75 million euros plus 5 million euros in variables, potentially reaching a maximum of 80 million euros. Eintracht Frankfurt has made significant profits in recent seasons through player sales. Just from the sales of free signings like Mouani and Malmush, they have achieved a net income of 170 million euros. It must be said that Frankfurt's scouting system is indeed impressive, always managing to find cost-effective forwards. Now that Malmush has left, Frankfurt is once again on the hunt for their next star striker, with their main target currently being Marseille's forward Wahid. Wahid was born on January 2, 2003, holding dual French and Ivorian nationalities. He started his career at Montpellier's training camp in Ligue 1 and joined the first team in the 2020-21 season. The young Wahid quickly became Montpellier's starting forward. In the 2022-23 season, at less than 20 years old, he had an outstanding season, starting 28 times in 32 Ligue 1 matches, scoring 19 goals and providing 5 assists, performing exceptionally well. Wahid was also the starting forward for various levels of the French youth teams, scoring 2 goals in the U19 European Championship in 2022. His outstanding performances at both the club and national youth levels made Wahid a rising star in French football. In the summer of 2023, Lens signed Wahid for 30 million euros, at which point his market value reached a high of…

Paris Saint-Germain is a team from Ligue 1, which has dominated the league since the 2012-2013 season. In the past 12 years, they have won the Ligue 1 title 10 times and finished as runners-up twice. Last season, they secured the league championship early and achieved a three-peat. After 18 rounds of matches this season, Paris Saint-Germain has an undefeated record of 14 wins and 4 draws, accumulating 46 points and still ranking first, including 8 wins and 1 draw in 9 home games. In the first six rounds of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain achieved 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, accumulating 7 points and ranking 25th, one point behind the playoff spot. After winning their first home game against Girona, they went on a four-game winless streak before securing a 3-0 victory away at Salzburg in the last round. Manchester City is a team from the Premier League. Last season, they topped the league with 91 points, achieving a four-peat in the Premier League. After 22 rounds of matches this season, Manchester City has a record of 11 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, accumulating 38 points and temporarily ranking fifth, falling back four places and trailing the top by 12 points. Among these, they have a record of 5 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses in 12 away games.

Recently, with the confirmation that two overseas players, Hou Yongyong and Wu Shaocong, will return to the Chinese Super League (CSL), it not only faces the "reduction" of an already mediocre overseas contingent but also resets the number of players serving in Europe's mainstream leagues back to "zero." Strictly speaking, the Norwegian First Division and the Polish Super League can at best be considered third-rate leagues in Europe. However, this is already the pinnacle that domestic players can reach. The remaining players can only wait for opportunities to play in Spain's third and fourth-tier leagues, German community leagues, Belgium's third-tier league, etc. In response to the difficulties of overseas development, the Football Association is also exploring new ways. For example, the FA Chairman Song Kai once planned to require sponsors to provide overseas subsidies for players and their families, and even emulate Japan's early model of bringing capital to stay abroad (salaries fully borne by advertisers). The age for staying abroad is more inclined to start from teenagers. Recently, a piece of news has undoubtedly added new possibilities for overseas development. According to the official revelation of the French Ligue 1 team Auxerre Club, the young players from the youth training college cooperated with Shanghai Jinshan Sports Center visited Auxerre recently for a 12-day training and competition. They will compete with Auxerre players of the same age in France, improving their skills. Most importantly, they are preparing in advance for the possibility of joining Auxerre Club later. Auxerre Football Club, founded in 1905, has a history of 120 years and…

Champions League Qualification Analysis: 26 Teams Compete for 24 Spots, Real Madrid Steady, Manchester City and Paris at Risk of Elimination What a joke! Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain, these eye-catching giants, actually crashed in the Champions League group stage? Who wrote this script, come out and take your beating! The new format has turned it into a "battle of the gods," with 36 teams fighting each other. The top eight in points advance directly, while those from 9th to 24th have to go through another round of playoffs, and the rest can only go home and call it a night. It's really exciting, but isn't this too cruel? The group stage is like a battleground, leaving the giants trembling! The leaderboard is now in chaos, with teams above 14 points naturally as stable as old dogs, but those between 7 and 13 points live in constant fear every day. 13 points are like a fig leaf, covering up the embarrassing situation of most teams. After all, Paris and Stuttgart still have to fight it out. If both of them win, then the teams below 13 points will really be crying in the bathroom. Real Madrid, the defending champion? Stop joking! They've lost three out of six games and only have 9 points now, losing face completely. In the last two rounds, they face Salzburg and Brest, which doesn't seem difficult, but given Real Madrid's recent unpredictable form, who knows what might happen? They might really end up turning "the return of the king" into "the king goes…

Wednesday 002 Champions League: Leipzig vs Lisbon Leipzig Red Bull's performance this season has shown a certain degree of ups and downs. Currently, they have achieved 9 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses in the Bundesliga, accumulating 31 points and ranking fifth. Although their overall performance is not stable, the team performs strongly at home, with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, showing a strong ability to play at home. However, the team's performance in the Champions League is disappointing, having lost all six matches so far, scoring only 6 goals but conceding 13, becoming the only team in the top five leagues to lose all their Champions League matches. Recently, Leipzig Red Bull's state has also faced challenges. In the past two rounds, they first lost 1-2 away to Stuttgart, and then were held to a 3-3 draw by Bochum after leading by three goals, exposing problems in defense and match concentration. In addition, the team is currently plagued by injuries, with key central defenders Lukas Klostermann and Nordi Mukiele missing, which has had a significant impact on the defensive line. Sporting Lisbon's performance this season has been outstanding, currently topping the Portuguese league table with a record of 14 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, demonstrating strong dominance. When playing away, their performance is equally impeccable, achieving 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, with the highest away points in the Portuguese league. In the Champions League, Sporting Lisbon's performance is also remarkable, achieving 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Although they failed…

This season, what can Manchester City still compete for? With 11 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses in 22 matches, accumulating 38 points, they are ranked fifth in the Premier League table, 2 points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, and 12 points less than the league leaders Liverpool, who have played one game less. The hope of a miraculous title win is slim, and even securing a Champions League spot is uncertain. However, there is still something for Manchester City to strive for, such as the Champions League title. Winning the Premier League five times in a row or four times in a row makes no difference; it's just about breaking their own record for the longest consecutive championship titles in the Premier League. What Guardiola values most is the Champions League trophy, which is not enough for both Manchester City and Guardiola! The reason for choosing to renew the contract despite the worst performance is based on this point. Haaland has renewed his contract with Manchester City until 2034, and the Norwegian forward shares the same ambition with Guardiola! If they can win the Champions League title, this year is not a major tournament year, and there is no Messi to compete against. Therefore, Haaland can completely defeat the three from Real Madrid and win the 2025 Ballon d'Or, leaving Mbappe and Vinicius staring blankly. What can PSG still compete for? After losing Mbappe, PSG can still dominate Ligue 1, but their performance in the Champions League is too poor. Last season, they could still overturn Barcelona away from home and…

The best three frontcourt players for the women's basketball team at the Paris Olympics have emerged, and Coach Zheng Wei has made the right choice. If Zhang Ziyu and Liu Yutong are promoted, along with Pan Zhenqi, it is believed that adding three excellent players will make both Zheng Wei and Yao Ming very interested in forming a strong lineup. But when it comes to the upcoming women's basketball games, can we do better in the Paris Olympics to compete for the championship of the women's basketball finals? First, we need to reach the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. How can we achieve this? Let's discuss three highlights together. The first highlight is that Coach Zheng Wei of the women's basketball team has wisely selected three centers, which can help the team perform better on the court. Firstly, everyone is very familiar with Li Yueru, who can score nearly 20 points per game in the American league and has an excellent level of play, which is highly commendable. Li Yueru, as an outstanding center, performs exceptionally well compared to other players, earning great respect. Besides Li Yueru, we also have Han Xu, another excellent center. Han Xu is 6 centimeters taller than Li Yueru and can perform very well in the game. If used effectively, she could have a significant impact on the court. Han Xu has previously played a crucial role as a center in the American league. If used well, along with Li Yueru, they could likely win more victories together. In addition, don't overlook Sun Mengran, who can…

It was unexpected that the "Gold-inlaid Jade" medals from the 2008 Beijing Olympics would return to the public eye in such a unique way. Recently, news of about 100 Paris Olympic medals being returned due to severe oxidation has caused quite a stir, which is a significant embarrassment for any Olympic Games. Athletes train hard for years and strive to bring back Paris Olympic medals to their countries, only to find that Paris Olympics have arranged a "defective product" for them, which is truly speechless. This is not the first time the Paris Olympics have reported problems with medal quality. During the Paris Olympics, athletes who had just received their medals noticed that the quality seemed unsatisfactory. Subsequently, more athletes posted that their Paris Olympic medals also showed signs of wear and discoloration, giving the impression that the medals were not as good as they should be, but rather rough. An athlete who also won a medal at the Paris Olympics even shared his "battle-damaged medal," which looked so worn out in the photo that it was barely recognizable. He even jokingly compared this Olympic medal to an "antique relic" of a century-old object, which made him somewhat tearful. This also reminds people of the "accidentally trending" gold-inlaid jade medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In 2021, Russian rhythmic gymnast Daria accidentally started a fire by lighting a candle at home. Although she and her cat were safe, the house was burned beyond recognition. However, amidst the wreckage, something shiny caught Daria's attention, and when she picked it up, it…

On January 18th, Beijing time, the official news from the winter transfer market announced that Napoli player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has joined Paris Saint-Germain. The two parties have signed a contract until the summer of 2029, and Kvaratskhelia will wear the number 7 jersey for PSG, previously worn by Kylian Mbappé. Like Mbappé, Kvaratskhelia also specializes in attacking from the left flank. With a transfer fee of 70 million euros, PSG has officially announced their new number 7, while the Serie A leader loses its core player, making Inter Milan's prospects for winning the title more promising. Kvaratskhelia, currently 23 years old, has scored 30 goals and provided 29 assists in 107 appearances for Napoli. He helped Napoli win the Serie A championship in the 22-23 season, during which the team also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, achieving their best performance in the competition. In the Georgian national team, Kvaratskhelia has played 40 games, scoring 17 goals and providing 9 assists, helping the Georgian team qualify for the European Championship for the first time and defeat Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal to reach the knockout stages. Kvaratskhelia plays as a left winger on the field, capable not only of shooting and passing but also excelling in dribbling and strong breakthroughs, having once surpassed Leão to become the top dribbler in a single Serie A season. PSG is currently ranked 25th in the Champions League, outside the playoff qualifying zone. Kvaratskhelia's arrival is crucial. In the final two rounds of matches, PSG will face Manchester City at home and Stuttgart away, fighting…
