Football is ever-changing, and the experiences of Manchester United's new star, Kobe Mino, over the past two years illustrate this point. Last season, he suffered a serious injury at the beginning, and no one expected him to have such a strong finish, becoming the most promising player on the team and even starting for England in the European Cup. However, since the start of this season, the 19-year-old English international has fallen into a slump, performing poorly and missing two months due to a foot injury. Although he performed well against big teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, he was again in poor form against weaker opponents like Southampton, failing to take a shot on goal and being substituted at halftime. The rumors of demanding a weekly salary of 200,000 pounds have angered fans, who call for him to be sold. In the plans of Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Mino is no longer indispensable and can be sold if the price is right. If Mino were in a stable team, he could develop better, but in today's Red Devils, his potential may not be suitable for development, which could depend on his physical development, the team's tactics, and his own thoughts. In today's Premier League, standards for height, running ability, and physical fitness have significantly increased. Since the 2019/20 season, few clubs have given playing time to midfielders under 175cm tall. From the 2022/23 season to the 2023/24 season, the playing time of midfielders close to 185cm has increased by 25%, with midfielders needing to be tall,…

On the morning of January 19th, Beijing time, the 22nd round of the Premier League saw multiple matches. The two title contenders, Liverpool and Arsenal, took to the field successively. In the end, Liverpool defeated Brentford 2-0, while Arsenal "crashed" and dropped points, drawing 2-2 with Villa. The gap between the two sides widened to 6 points, consolidating Liverpool's lead after this round. Meanwhile, Manchester City's ranking was surpassed by Bournemouth and Villa, falling to eighth place. Before this round, Arsenal had narrowed the gap with Liverpool to 4 points with one less game played, reigniting the suspense in the Premier League title race. However, in this round of matches, Liverpool finally did not falter again. After a full-court siege of Brentford, they finally scored twice through substitute Nunez in stoppage time, ultimately securing a 2-0 victory away from home. After winning their first league victory of the new year, Liverpool accumulated 50 points and continued to lead strongly. Arsenal, playing at home, wasted a great opportunity. They were once leading Villa 2-0 at home, but their defense subsequently made several mistakes, allowing Villa to score two consecutive goals to level the score. Although Arsenal maintained an unbeaten streak of 12 rounds, they were overtaken by Liverpool by 6 points after playing one more game, completely losing the initiative in the title race. Villa, on the other hand, earned one point by drawing 2-2 with Arsenal, reaching 36 points and temporarily surpassing Manchester City to reach seventh place, pushing the defending champions down to eighth place. In addition, Bournemouth crushed…

Newcastle, Atletico Madrid, and Arsenal, three major clubs, all suffered upsets, while Liverpool, who won in extra time thanks to Darwin Nunez's brace, also widened the point gap with the Gunners. Bayern Munich won a tough home game 3-2 against Wolfsburg, and Juventus avenged their loss to AC Milan with a 2-0 victory at home! Newcastle United 1-4 Bournemouth Newcastle, who had won nine consecutive games in all competitions, faced Bournemouth, known as the "giant-killer," who had defeated Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham this season. In this match, the son of legendary footballer Patrick Kluivert, young Kluivert, shone brightly, scoring a hat-trick at home to help Bournemouth defeat the Magpies 4-1, ending their nine-game winning streak and once again proving their giant-killing prowess. Brentford 0-2 Liverpool Liverpool, the league leaders who had not won in two rounds of the Premier League, faced Brentford away from home. Liverpool was in poor form in this match, with Gakpo missing a clear chance in the first half. In the second half, Klopp made frequent substitutions to try to activate the team's attacking performance. Nunez, who came on as a substitute, became the hero of the team, scoring twice in three minutes during stoppage time to help Liverpool defeat Brentford 2-0 and consolidate their position as league leaders. Bayern Munich 3-2 Wolfsburg Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga leaders, also had a tough win on this matchday. Facing Wolfsburg, who had…

Liverpool had previously drawn two consecutive matches against Manchester United and the dark horse Nottingham Forest, leading many fans to doubt their form, believing they would collapse like last season when Salah's performance dipped in the second half of the season. However, today someone stood up in Liverpool's time of crisis, shouting "Refuse to Collapse!" As guests at the Community Stadium, Liverpool took the initiative from the start, launching 37 shots throughout the match, but failed to score in 90 minutes. Indeed, Salah was not performing well; in the 6th minute, Liverpool launched a quick attack on the right flank, with Diogo Jota crossing from the bottom, and Jota making a run into the box to head the ball, which was saved by the goalkeeper Fleck. In the 17th minute, Liverpool advanced through the middle, with Gavi taking a powerful shot from the top of the arc, which Fleck once again managed to save. In the 34th minute, Liverpool continued their central advance, with McAllister playing a cross from the top of the arc, and Sobosloei adjusting his position before unleashing a powerful shot that hit the crossbar. In…

As a result, Liverpool lost 0-1 to Tottenham, causing a major upset. The game started with Tottenham creating a threat through a corner kick. Dragosin found himself unmarked in the penalty area and took a shot, but the goalkeeper reacted quickly and saved it. During this time, Bentancur got injured and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher, with Brennan Johnson coming on as a substitute. In the 21st minute, Son Heung-min passed across from the left side of the penalty area, and Solanke quickly followed up with a shot, but Alisson saved it again. Just two minutes later, Salah took a low shot from the edge of the penalty area, but the ball missed the goal slightly. At the 30th minute of the game, Quansah got injured and could not continue playing, so he was replaced by Far藤航. Two minutes later, McAlistair headed the ball in the penalty area, but it was too straight and was caught by the goalkeeper. In stoppage time of the first half, Salah adjusted his position near the penalty line and took a shot, but it went high. Then,…

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a painful defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the 21st round of the Premier League, with the Gunners securing a 2-1 victory that has reignited title hopes for the £1.1 billion club. The match was filled with tension from the start, as if the atmosphere was taut like a fully drawn bowstring. Tottenham's Son Heung-min broke the deadlock in the 20th minute with a brilliant goal that put Arsenal on the back foot. The Spurs fans erupted in celebration, their cheers echoing around the stadium. Despite their excitement, Arsenal did not falter. They roared back like a lion, launching a counterattack. The home crowd's overwhelming support seemed to whisper, "We cannot lose." Arsenal's resilience was evident throughout the game.

Do you know? Manchester United is currently eyeing a center forward who is about to become a free agent. This player has an average of nearly 0.5 goals per game in his career. It's no secret that top European clubs are also closely watching, and the intensity of this competition is truly fierce. In the past eight days alone, Manchester United has truly demonstrated the initial effectiveness of the 3-4-3 formation and tactical requirements set by Amorim. Initially, they faced Liverpool at Anfield in a fierce battle that ended in a 2-2 draw. This result ignited the morale of Manchester United, which soared. Subsequently, in the FA Cup, Manchester United faced Arsenal, another formidable opponent, and successfully eliminated them. In that match, Manchester United had a player sent off and persisted for over an hour with one less player on the field. However, they ultimately held on tenaciously. To fully leverage Amorim's coaching abilities, it is essential to introduce players who fit his system more closely. The wing-backs need to be able to handle pressure steadily in both attack and defense, and finding a strong center forward is also crucial. Speaking of Højlund, since joining from Atalanta, his average goal tally is only 0.34 (a total of 23 goals in 67 games). As for Zirkzee, his specific performance in the English league still needs to be observed. According to the latest information from TuttoJuve, Manchester United is currently evaluating a highly efficient center forward. It is said that there is a gentleman who will definitely embark on a transfer journey…

Klopp, as a world-class top coach, has also achieved quite remarkable results in leading Liverpool over the years. However, it is unfortunate that last season, when they had an advantage, they collapsed directly at the last moment of the Premier League title race, and Klopp made a decisive decision to leave. In such a situation, Liverpool was not favored by everyone. It was widely believed that after Klopp left, Liverpool's performance would show a significant decline. However, it now appears that after Sloth took office, Liverpool's performance has instead shown a significant improvement, which makes everyone feel very relieved. As for Klopp, the former Liverpool manager, he also accepted an interview. This is also Klopp's first appearance after joining Red Bull, naturally attracting considerable attention. During the program, Klopp said: "I am very happy that Liverpool's performance is excellent. I still keep in touch with Sloth and some players. Only 0.1% of people think I should continue to stay there. So my leaving was a very correct thing." It can be seen that Klopp's departure from the team was actually planned long ago. Even though the club has now achieved a perfect record, Klopp has no regrets about leaving. Furthermore, Klopp criticized Arnold by name at the end, saying: "Arnold did not perform well in the match against Manchester United. He needs to learn how to defend. His defense is just too bad." This time, after Klopp stopped coaching, he finally spoke his mind. However, Klopp is now ready to help the team strengthen and upgrade at Red Bull. If…
