It's a pity that Li Yueyu's efficient performance was "overlooked," and the team had to stop at the round of 16 in the EuroCup Women! More than just the players' performance determines victory or defeat on the court; the arrangement of troops and tactics during the game and timely adjustments are also crucial. On January 16, in the second leg of the round of 16 playoffs for the 2024-2025 FIBA Women's European Club Cup, Galatasaray lost 56-87 away to Lyon ASVEL. In this match, Li Yueyu continued her efficient play, but unfortunately, she had few opportunities to show off, with good intentions to defeat the enemy, but alas, it was beyond her power. Looking back at the first leg at home, Galatasaray made a comeback to beat French Lyon ASVEL 77-72. In this match, as long as they didn't lose by more than 5 points, they could ensure qualification for the quarter-finals. Unexpectedly, they suffered a crushing defeat. In this game, Li Yueyu played for 22 minutes, shooting 3 out of 6, making 3 out of 4 free throws, scoring 9 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and adding 1 block, which is quite efficient. However, her playing time was the least among the starters, and her number of shots was also at the bottom among the starters, which reflects to some extent her status in the team's tactical system and the team's strategy for using her. Although Li Yueyu has a certain dominance in the paint, the team's overall tactical arrangements and outside support were clearly insufficient, which prevented…

Translation: Recently, Chengdu Rongcheng has made a significant breakthrough in reinforcing its foreign aid, investing 750,000 euros (equivalent to 5.6 million RMB) to prepare for the introduction of Kalulu, the versatile king of the Serbian Super League. Kalulu is a very capable player who once played for the French Ligue 1 giant Lyon. However, he did not reach the expected heights and began to ply his trade in the French Ligue 2. Later, Kalulu joined the Serbian Super League. During his time with Red Star Belgrade in the Serbian Super League, Kalulu had impressive performances in both passing and shooting, making him a versatile player in the front line. He can play as a left or right winger and also fill the role of a second striker. Therefore, Chengdu Rongcheng set their sights on Kalulu, hoping he could strengthen the team's forward line. As we all know, Chengdu Rongcheng released Palacios from the forward position, which surprised many fans. Palacios had an outstanding performance during his time with Chengdu Rongcheng. Whenever the team encountered a stalemate in the game, Palacios would always step up first and perform heroics to save the day. As a result, he became a meritorious striker for the team, earning recognition from many fans. However, after Chengdu Rongcheng qualified for the AFC Champions League, Palacios was let go. It is possible that Chengdu Rongcheng's head coach Xu Zhengyuan felt that Palacios could not handle the role of the main striker in the AFC Champions League. In this situation, Xu Zhengyuan decided to release Palacios. At the…

Lyon eventually won 1-0 against Montpellier, securing their second consecutive victory in all competitions, while Montpellier suffered their second consecutive defeat in all competitions.

Argentina's men's football team has been one of the most successful national teams in recent years, winning the World Cup, two Copa Americas, and the South American-European Super Cup. With their outstanding achievements, Argentine players have become highly sought after. Even though Messi has retired from European leagues, his Argentine successors, such as Alvarez, Enzo, McAllister, and De Paul, have shone brightly in European leagues. With the winter transfer window open, more Argentine players are making their way to European leagues. Congratulations to the Argentina team! Two frontline stars have landed in Europe: a 19-year-old genius reinforcing Manchester City, and Lyon adding strong support. Manchester City had already secured the signing of Argentine player Echeverri from River Plate last year, with the player joining City in January this year for a transfer fee of 18.5 million euros. According to reports from Romano, Echeverri's arrival at City has been delayed, and the club has agreed to let him participate in the upcoming U20 Copa America. He is expected to start playing for City in February. Echeverri, standing at 1.7 meters tall, is known for his free-roaming forward play and core playstyle. He is capable of dribbling, passing, and shooting, earning him the nickname "New Messi." In the U17 World Cup held in 2023, Echeverri scored five goals, helping the Argentine team reach the semi-finals. His current market value is 18 million euros. City's performance this season has been poor, and they need Echeverri to provide additional firepower. On January 3rd, according to reports from French newspaper L'Équipe, Argentine player Almada, who…
