On this cold winter night, let's talk about some exciting football matches! Especially the matches in the sixth round of the Europa League group stage, which were truly captivating and thrilling! First, let's talk about Manchester United's "away comeback" drama. Their opponent, Viktoria Plzeň, sounds like an easy target, but on the football field, no one dares to underestimate any opponent, right? In the first half, both teams were "back and forth, not invading each other," with the score remaining at 0-0, making the fans anxious! However, as soon as the second half began, Viktoria Plzeň took the lead, with Vídera scoring a powerful shot in the 48th minute to break the deadlock. Fans thought: Now Manchester United has to step up, or they might really "crash"! As a result, Manchester United did not disappoint the fans. In the 63rd minute, Højlund stood out, scoring a beautiful goal to level the score at 1-1. The fans were so excited that they cheered and clapped, as if they were on the field themselves. And there was more excitement to come. In the 88th minute, Højlund struck again with a decisive goal, helping Manchester United win 2-1! The fans erupted, shouting: "Højlund, you are our hero!" This victory not only gave Manchester United their third consecutive win in the group stage but also showed the team's indomitable and never-say-die spirit. After talking about Manchester United, let's move on…

Earlier, Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" reported that the transfer of Garnacho to Napoli is close to being finalized. Garnacho has already had a phone conversation with Napoli coach Conte, indicating that the transfer negotiations have entered a substantive stage. To complete this deal, Napoli's sporting director Manna is expected to meet with Manchester United executives in the next few hours, and talks are expected to take place no later than tomorrow evening. Garnacho's departure can be seen as a win-win-win deal for all three parties. For Manchester United, the team is currently facing restrictions under the Financial Fair Play regulations, and their current performance is not good. In order to build a squad for new coach Amorim, they need to improve the team's financial situation as much as possible by selling youth-trained players. Manchester United has clear requirements for Garnacho's transfer fee, hoping to receive a transfer fee of 60 million euros from this deal, rather than the 50 million euros offered by Napoli. There is still a difference between the two sides, but as long as both sides are willing to complete the transaction, it is hoped that an agreement will eventually be reached. For Garnacho, he cannot guarantee a starting position in Amorim's system. This season, he has only started 17 times in 32 games in all competitions, a significant drop from last season. Therefore, Garnacho also had the idea of leaving the team. After K77 left, Conte also hopes to strengthen his position, and Garnacho's technical characteristics also fit his tactical style. In addition to…

Inter Milan, the Serie A powerhouse, was defeated by their city rivals AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup on January 7th. It has been 10 days since then, and they have played two matches, winning 1-0 away against Venezia and drawing 2-2 at home with Bologna. Despite the obvious bias of the referees in the Bologna match, it is undeniable that the aging squad and insufficient abilities of some players are facts for the Nerazzurri. After Oaktree Capital took over Inter Milan, significant changes have occurred in the team's operations and transfer strategies. After all, capital is capital, always chasing profits. Bosses like Moratti are extremely rare in world football; they are true lovers of the game! The transfer saga of Frattesi has been a long-running soap opera. The Italian international is not satisfied with his status under coach Inzaghi, although he has not publicly complained like a nagging wife, he believes his future lies elsewhere from Inter Milan. Inter Milan has set a price tag of 45 million euros on Frattesi, which seems to declare the player as unsellable. Roma wanted to loan Frattesi for 5 million with an option to buy for 25 million, but this was firmly rejected by Inter Milan because Roma, the team Frattesi fancies, cannot afford such a large sum, and it is highly unlikely for them to qualify for next season's Champions League, making the summer buyout of the player almost impossible. Napoli is also eyeing Frattesi, and with considerable financial resources, they can offer 45 million euros. However, coach Inzaghi would…

In the 19th round of the Turkish Super League, Fenerbahce turned the tide after conceding a goal just one minute into the game. They eventually won 3-2 against Konyaspor, securing all three points. This victory marks their fourth unbeaten match in the league and their fifth unbeaten match in recent competitions. Mourinho's consecutive victories have kept the championship suspense alive for Fenerbahce! In this match, Mourinho once again deployed his signature double-striker starting tactic, which he originally implemented during his time at Roma. During his tenure at Roma, Mourinho frequently used the double-striker tactic, accumulating top strikers like Abraham, Belotti, and Lukaku to lead the charge for the team. Under Mourinho's leadership, Roma was known for its solid defense, which is a stark contrast to the current Fenerbahce team. In his second year at Roma, seasoned fans will recall that when Mourinho's team took a 1-0 lead, the match was as good as over. This was one of the main reasons why Mourinho favored the double-striker tactic at the time! Now at Fenerbahce, Mourinho has reintroduced the double-striker tactic. In this match, En-Nesyri and Dzeko started together, leading the charge for Fenerbahce! In previous matches, only one of Fenerbahce's two strikers could start, but with En-Nesyri recently rediscovering his scoring touch, Mourinho has restarted the double-striker tactic at a crucial time when Fenerbahce needs consecutive league victories to catch up in points. The intention is clear: the team must score goals to secure all three points, and the double-striker system is undoubtedly the best approach for Mourinho's team to conquer…

According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Moussa Diaby will join Juventus on a pure loan deal, with the Turin club taking on the player's full salary. With Diaby's move to Juventus, PSG's significant investment in the French forward is considered to have been wasted. In the summer of 2023, PSG spent a transfer fee of 95 million euros to bring Diaby from Eintracht Frankfurt to the Parc des Princes. Prior to joining PSG, Diaby had an impressive record, contributing 26 goals and 14 assists in a single season for Frankfurt. He also nearly helped the French national team retain the World Cup title in Qatar in 2022. However, despite his promising form, Diaby struggled to adapt at PSG. In his 19 months at the club, he became somewhat of a spectator. This season, he has only played 14 Ligue 1 games, scoring 2 goals with no assists. His performance in the UEFA Champions League has been equally disappointing. Under coach Christophe Galtier, the 95-million-euro forward seems expendable. Due to his underwhelming performances at PSG, Diaby's market value has plummeted. As the player with the biggest drop in value in world football in 2024, the French forward's value has decreased by a staggering 40 million euros. Currently, Diaby's value has fallen from 95 million euros upon joining PSG to just 30 million euros. For Juventus, however, securing a player like Diaby is a stroke of luck. Even though his value has diminished, as a key striker for the French national team, the 26-year-old still possesses considerable…

The fifth round of the Europa League continued with exciting matches. Manchester United secured a narrow 3-2 victory over Norwegian team Bodø/Glimt at home, thanks to Højlund's two goals and one assist. Hummels made amends for his earlier mistake, while Roma managed a dramatic 2-2 draw against Tottenham away from home, relying on veteran striker Edin Džeko's goal and Mourinho's tactical substitutions. Fenerbahçe also achieved a remarkable 2-1 victory over Slavia Prague away from home. In the match between Manchester United and Bodø/Glimt, United had previously won one and drawn three, while Bodø/Glimt had two wins, one draw, and one loss. United is currently ranked 12th in the Premier League, while Bodø/Glimt tops the Norwegian Eliteserien. United lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Mount, Garnacho, and Højlund forming the front three, supported by midfielders Antony, Ugueto, Bruno Fernandes, and Malacia. The defense consisted of Mazraoui, De Ligt, and Lisandro Martinez, with Onana as the starting goalkeeper. New head coach Amorim is still experimenting with the lineup, featuring a starting XI worth €473 million and an average age of 24.9 years, significantly younger than previous lineups. Bodø/Glimt opted for a 4-3-3 formation, with a starting XI valued at only €22.7 million, highlighting the considerable difference in quality between the two sides. Despite this, Bodø/Glimt managed to hold United to a 2-2 draw at halftime. United started the game strongly, with Højlund capitalizing on a defensive error by Bodø/Glimt in the second minute to set up Garnacho for an easy tap-in. This marked Højlund's eighth goal and fourth assist in various…

In the recent fixtures, Inter Milan has displayed a commendable competitive form, particularly in the Serie A league, where they have become one of the two most promising teams for the championship. Currently, in the winter transfer market, Inter is also brewing several key transfers to enhance the competitiveness of Inzaghi's team in the second half of the season. The midfield has become a position that requires significant adjustment from Inter's squad configuration. Among the current midfielders, Mkhitaryan's physical functions have declined significantly due to his age, which is reflected not only in reduced running and physical confrontation capabilities but also in the increasing number of injuries. Considering the laws of competitive sports, Inter cannot place too much hope on this 35-year-old veteran. Calhanoglu's situation is somewhat similar; although he is five years younger than Mkhitaryan, the number of injuries this season has also increased significantly. Judging from his on-field performance, compared to last season, Calhanoglu's efficiency has also declined. So far this season, Calhanoglu has only contributed 4 goals and 2 assists in the league. On the other hand, Aslani is in the ascending phase of his career. With the increase in injuries within the team, Inzaghi has given him considerable playing time. Objectively speaking, Aslani has good passing vision in the holding midfielder position, and his long pass accuracy is quite impressive. This season, he attempted 32 long passes, with 22 successfully finding teammates, achieving a success rate of 69%, ranking among the top in all holding midfielders in the league. However, Aslani also has obvious shortcomings, namely,…

Mourinho's tenure with the Turkish Super League team Fenerbahce this season has not been going well, and there have also been some conflicts between him and the club. What makes it even more difficult for Mourinho to coach is his relationship with the Turkish Super League officials. Mourinho has repeatedly criticized the Turkish Super League in interviews and public occasions, believing that it is an unprofessional league with many problems in the referees' decisions. These actions have also made Mourinho offend many people here, and recently there have been rumors that Mourinho wants to return to the Premier League. The news reported this time was unexpected, which was that Mourinho wanted to return to Everton in the Premier League to coach. However, the two sides only started contact, but then famous reporter Ben Jacobs also reported a more regrettable news. Famous reporter Ben Jacobs said: "Currently, although Everton has decided to change coaches, after consideration, they have decided not to continue contacting Mourinho. Because the owner of Everton, Friedkin, is the owner of Rome. Their cooperation back then was very unpleasant. So this time he asked the club not to invite Mourinho to coach." This report also made us understand that this Roman owner really hates Mourinho a lot. Even if their group's Everton wants to change coaches now, they refuse to let Mourinho become a candidate. He is completely unwilling to continue any cooperation with Mourinho. Mourinho has indeed offended too many people over the years. As a result, he now wants to return to the top five leagues…

‌"The Green Turf Magician: Mourinho's Glory, Regrets, and Dreams for the Future"‌ "Football is round, anything can happen." This classic saying not only captures the charm of football but also perfectly interprets the ups and downs of Jose Mourinho's coaching career, known as the green turf magician. As the New Year's bell rang in 2025, Mourinho sat in an interview room with "La Gazzetta dello Sport," sharing with us the glories and regrets of his years, as well as his infinite hopes for the future.

From Porto's stunning 4-1 victory over Lazio in the UEFA Cup semi-finals to Inter Milan's 2-0 triumph over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, and then Tottenham's exhilarating 6-1 sweep of Manchester United, Mourinho's name has been closely linked with countless classic battles. But today, we're not just talking about these moments of victory, but also the stories hidden behind them and Mourinho's plans for the future. Let's start with Tottenham's 6-1 victory over Manchester United. Mourinho reminisces with a satisfied look: "That game was simply a perfect performance. The players played with vigor, the offense surged like a tidal wave, and the defense was as solid as a rock. 6-1, this score is like telling the world that we, Tottenham, are also capable!" However, he then reveals a hint of regret: "To be honest, I still have some regrets. If we could have scored a few more goals at that time, it would have been even more perfect. Football, sometimes, is like this; you never…
