Chapter 386 Heavy!Another Ballon d'Or winner joins Old Trafford!
Rice's sending off means that Arteta's backhand strategy in this game has completely failed. He tried to use Rice and Amadou Onana and keep Xhaka to strengthen the team's "hardness". Physical confrontation is tough, and you must have confidence when facing strong teams.
But something like "hardness" will become "reckless" if it is overdone, and the result of impulsiveness will inevitably be the devil.
Arsenal, with one less man to fight, is still making the final effort.
In the 93rd minute, Arsenal kicked off and Odegaard dribbled the ball in the midfield. Except for goalkeeper Ramsdale, the other 8 Arsenal players almost all rushed into Manchester United's penalty area, and Manchester United also returned to defense. In the restricted area.
At this time, Arsenal fans don't think about turning defeat into victory and taking all three points. Being able to equalize and get back one point can keep the team's chances of winning this season still hopeful.
Odegaard kicked the ball into the penalty area. He raised his right hand before taking the ball, which means driving to the right of the penalty spot.
As the ball began to fall, Saliba, Gabriel, Fu Anjianyang and other "experts" had rushed to the right side of the penalty area.
Chen Xiaoliang and Cesko also ran over.
Lou Yichen: "The ball fell! The first point! Saliba hit the ball!"
Liu Yue shouted at the same time: "Xiao Liang is blocked!"
Lou Yichen: "Go to the depths of the restricted area!"
"Thomas follow!"
"Push it out! It's Maguire!"
"Maguire made a great contribution at the critical moment!"
"The referee didn't blow the whistle! There is still time in the game! Manchester United launched a counterattack!"
"Fred picked on Ganacho on the left!"
"Fu'an Jianyang chased after him!"
"Come to the center line!"
"Cross the middle, Xiao Liang catches the ball!"
"Let's see! Xiaoliang turned all the way to the right, accelerated directly, and easily got rid of Erdegaard!"
"Rashford on the right also came up, let's see how Xiao Liang will choose this ball!"
"Lead straight ahead!"
"Come into the penalty area! Ramsdale attacked forward to block!"
"Little bright feet!"
"Pass to Rashford on the right!"
"Empty goal! Another goal! Beautiful! 3 to 5!"
"This time is the real lore goal!"
Liu Yue: "I thought that in the previous Manchester Derby, the two sides scored a total of six goals, which would have feasted everyone's eyes. I didn't expect that today's game was more open, and there were still goals until the last minute."
Lou Yichen: "Arsenal's entire team presses up, but I didn't expect that the high-altitude ball was finally destroyed by Maguire out of the penalty area, and Arsenal only had Odegaard at the back. Facing Manchester United's quick reaction, he was alone. Take care of one and lose the other.”
Liu Yue: "Xiao Liang didn't choose to hit the goal in the end, but gave Rashford an assist. He has 1 goal and 3 assists in this game, which can be regarded as a hat-trick of assists."
A dejected Arsenal returned to the halfway line for the kick-off after United celebrated.
As soon as the ball was kicked out, referee Michael Oliver blew the final whistle.
12轮比赛，曼联11胜1平，拿下了惊人的34分，创造了和2011-12赛季、2017-18赛季的曼城，与2019-20赛季的利物浦一样的英超历史前12轮最佳开局。
You know, the teams that started the previous three times all won the Premier League championship that season in the end.
但12轮10胜2平拿下32分的曼城，同样平了历史前12轮的第二好开局，而之前创下同样战绩的2014-15赛季的切尔西与2018-19赛季的曼城，也获得了最后的英超冠军。
Facing the extremely strong two teams, the authoritative media has begun to describe this season's championship battle as a fight between gods and gods. Some commentators even believe that the club can be said to be BIG7 in terms of revenue, but if you only look at the dominance of the game, then today The Premier League only has BIG2.
Of course, the media said so, but some teams didn't admit it. They watched the two Manchester teams bite in front, and then they chased after them.
利物浦本轮客场1比4大胜水晶宫，9胜2平1负积29分，落后曼城3分排在第3。
Klopp's team has obviously come back this season. With the help of Barrera, Ward-Prowse and McAllister after joining, the midfielder has been reborn. It proves that the Triple Crown he won when he was on loan in Rome was definitely not luck, but the championship that he won with real knives and guns as the backbone of the team's defense at that time.
排在第4的纽卡8胜4平，是除了曼市双雄外第3支保持不败的球队，积28分、落后利物浦1分排在第4。
Next came Chelsea with 25 points, Arsenal with 22 points and Tottenham with 18 points.
After eight days and three games, the team finally got a week's respite, but a week later they will start a consecutive week of double games.
11月19日主场迎战升班马、目前排在联赛倒数第2，2胜2平8负的谢菲尔德联队，11月23日在主场参加联赛杯第4轮对英冠桑德兰的比赛。
Fortunately, these two teams are relatively weak. Ten Hag has notified in advance that the main players will be rotated and the substitutes and young players will have the opportunity to prove themselves.
11月26日依旧是在主场对战联赛排名第13的富勒姆，11月30日远赴客场挑战拉齐奥，争夺欧冠小组的第1。
The next day, the team also got good news and bad news.
The bad news is that Luke Shaw's injury is not a simple ligament strain or tear, but a lateral metatarsal fracture. If treated conservatively, he needs to rest for at least 10 weeks, and then the playing time depends on the degree of recovery.
The good news is that Casemiro has started individual training alone, and he can resume training with the team after being confirmed by the team doctor in a few days.
But Timber and Lindelof still need about two weeks to recover.
Since Luke Shaw was cut off his tibia and fibula on September 2015, 9, he has experienced serious injuries such as groin strain and foot injury. He has recuperated for a total of 16 days in two seasons. It is considered that he does not have enough ability and confidence to continue to stay at Manchester United.
But the club and the then head coach Van Gaal and Solskjaer gave him time and confidence to regain his health and form.
After that period of serious injury, although he has never had a minor injury, he can basically play about 40 games every season, especially in the 2020 European Cup, where he helped England reach the final as the main left back. Finally let people see his rebirth after Nirvana.
But now the club only has Brandon Williams as a full-time left back, which makes Ten Hag a headache.
Newly-introduced left-back Luke Thomas won't be available until January 1.
The game against Arsenal and Manchester City, although the process was very exciting and the performance of the players was outstanding, but conceding 6 goals in the two games can only show that the team's defense is "poor". Chen Xiaoliang is really invincible, and he usually carries the team to equalize and reverse again and again.
To put it bluntly, there is still too much difference in the strength between the team's main force and the substitute. With or without Casemiro in the midfielder position, the team's defensive performance is really different.
The continuous use of the main players will also cause injury risks.
To this end, he asked his old friend and colleague Van der Sar, as well as Mutaf, the director in charge of the transfer, to introduce an experienced rotation center and at the same time introduce a "defensive" midfielder.
These two were to relieve the pressure on Casemiro and Sesco.
Not only Ten Hag, but even his teammates think that Cesco, who is only 20 years old and has just arrived in the Premier League, has played too many games, and he spends a lot of time in the frontcourt, especially in the penalty area, and the opponent is generally strong A strong central defender fights hand-to-hand, which undoubtedly exacerbates his physical exertion and injury risk.
Seeing the extraordinary results of this season, and the boss Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani's statement that "there is no shortage of money", the club immediately agreed to the request of the head coach and connected several players. Super agents, let them find and recommend candidates for the club's transfer team's reference.
Owner Jassim also specially participated in a team training session and visited several players recovering from injuries at noon.
In order to shorten the distance and at the same time dilute the royal color, he asked everyone in the club to call him "Jassim" directly instead of attaching a long and complicated list of surnames and symbols in his full name. This is true even in e-mails that do not involve the circulation of official documents.
His full name is "Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani". According to the naming rules of the Qataris, "Sheikh" is a member of the royal family stipulated by the ruler Al Thani family. The title of the female is "Xieha", which means "chief", which is equivalent to the prince of the Red Kingdom in ancient times.
And "Ben" is a conjunction, the name before "Ben" is the name of the person, and the name after "Ben" is the name of the person's father.
Therefore, in plain English, his full name is "Chief of Qatar Jassim, son of Hamad, owner of the Al Thani royal bloodline".
So he asked the club to call him Jassim, just like a big leader named "Wang Fugui", suddenly told his subordinates that from now on, everyone should not call him "Wangbu" or "Leader", just directly Calling him "rich" is indeed a rather low-profile thing in terms of Jassim's status.
However, this Qatari "rich" has a clear disagreement with Ten Hag on one thing. As a desert chief who has money and wants to spend it quickly, he doesn't like Manchester United being overwhelmed by other teams in the transfer market. , Especially when Chelsea snatched venture capital, he can't wait to spend another 3 million in the winter window. As long as it is a capable star, the team will sign it immediately, without worrying about the transfer fee, salary, or contract.
But in Ten Hag's view, this is obviously a big mistake. The club's salary structure must remain stable. Chen Xiaoliang's weekly salary of 40 pounds is the ceiling. Even if a big-name player joins, the fixed weekly salary cannot exceed 20 pounds, and the rest will be reflected in floating bonuses based on performance.
20 pounds, in Jassim's opinion, is the amount to send beggars.
Can 20 pounds impress Harland and win Mbappé?Can you handle a player with the strength of the Ballon d'Or?
But soon, Van der Sar and Mutav really gave him a surprise. At the same time, the news of this transfer also shocked the entire European football world.
Because of Chen Xiaoliang and Haaland's fight in the Premier League, fans have completely embraced the new era after the Melo era, which made Mbappe, who holds the first annual salary in Europe in Ligue [-], quite unhappy.
At the Chatelet Theater that night, watching Chen Xiaoliang receive the Ballon d'Or from Messi amid standing applause, he decided to go to a Go to a club that is truly powerful, well-established, famous, and can help you reach the pinnacle of football.
With his request, and in line with the actual situation, there is only one club in Europe that can satisfy him.
Barcelona has no money, even if the lever is broken, it cannot afford Mbappé;
Bayern will not spend huge sums of money on a player, and always remain skeptical of Mbappe's team spirit;
Of course, the Milan duo also want to buy Mbappe, but the more likely operation is to wait for Mbappe to be 35 years old, and sign him without signing or rent him for a season;
With Chen Xiaoliang, Manchester United will not get another Ballon d'Or contender to break the balance of the dressing room;
The same is true for Manchester City, they have Harland, and Mbappe himself will not be willing to join;
For the rest of the strong teams, Chelsea has money but no qualifications for the Champions League, Liverpool has background and strength but no money, Newcastle has money but no fame and background, Arsenal...
Just looking for any Arsenal fan will not think that Arsenal can be connected with Mbappe. One day, if there is a scandal, it must be violent, just sleep for a while.
Only Real Madrid is called a man who is affectionate and a concubine who is interested.
After Xia Chuang introduced Vlahovic, the visa-free free agent Firmino, and recalled Brahim Dias from AC Milan on loan, the vitality of the frontcourt of the Galaxy Battleship has been significantly improved, but there are also problems. No, the "wrists" of these three people are not big enough, and they don't fully meet the positioning of "Galaxy Battleship".
Club chairman Florentino's goals have always been Mbappe and Harland. In the case of the latter's obvious impossibility in a short period of time, and the playing style overlaps with Vlahovic, in the dissatisfied Paris Mbappé naturally became the first choice.
The two parties have already negotiated that in the summer window of 2024, after receiving the huge loyalty bonus from Paris, with only one year left in the contract, the player will transfer to Real Madrid.
When newcomers come, old ones will naturally leave.
A traditional center Vlahovic, plus a Firmino who can play a false nine on the side, and the new head coach Nagelsmann is more willing to use new players, so that the 36-year-old Benzema's Opportunities are greatly reduced.
This summer, he wanted to go to the desert to seek gold, but then he renewed his contract with the team for one year after Florentino's retention, and he already felt that his mission in Real Madrid had been completed.
The emergence of Riise, as well as the approval of Van der Sar and Jassim, made another name outside the Saudi League appear in his choice for the next stop.
There is a passionate football culture, there are two strongest young people, there are unrivaled ratings and attention in the world, and his two old friends-Casemiro and Varane.
And a contract of 18 months plus a one-year priority renewal is also in line with his current positioning of himself.
Instead of the desert league now, why not get together with old friends and experience a different football culture?
For their own meritorious players, from the club chairman Florentino to the staff, they all extended their best wishes to Benzema's departure, and only charged a symbolic transfer fee to Manchester United to cover tax expenses .
Ever since, Manchester United issued an official announcement on November 2023, 11:
"Golden Globe winner, French player Benzema will join the club after the winter transfer window opens. The club management and coaching staff believe that his successful experience and ability will help the team achieve better results in multi-line battles." results, while helping young players improve their competitive level.”
Under Van der Sar's micromanagement, Benzema's weekly salary was set at the red line of 20 pounds, but at the same time, a season bonus clause of 1500 million pounds was added. Realized, he will receive an annual salary of 2500 million pounds.
This can be said to be the most generous terms that the five major league giants can offer outside of the Desert League.
As an intermediary, Riise also received a corresponding commission. Of course, Benzema's name was the one that shocked him among the two recommended to him by Chen Xiaoliang.
But another person didn't have such a smooth ride.
On the second day after the official announcement, Chen Xiaoliang received a call from Riise when he got home after training in the evening.
Reese said angrily, "I found out I was being followed!"
Chen Xiaoliang: "What's wrong?"
Riise: "Ugarte was cut off by Chelsea! As soon as I appeared in the club of Sporting Lisbon, Chelsea got the news, knowing that we have taken a fancy to Ugarte!"
Chen Xiaoliang: "It's all right? How much did they spend?"
Riise: "6500 million euros, directly triggering the termination fee, giving a 6-year contract, and 150% of the salary we gave, Burleigh is really a lunatic!"
Chen Xiaoliang thought for a while: "Go to Salzburg and contact Solskjaer."
Riise: "What do you mean, why do people who buy Red Bull contact Ole?"
Chen Xiaoliang: "No, I will give you two names, one is the one you really want to contact, that person is in Molde, your target is too big now, Solskjaer will help you, and the other is the false target in Red Bull Release it as a smoke bomb, and if someone grabs it, let them grab it.”
Riser: "OK! Red Bull has a bunch of goblins, and those dog noses have the ability to evacuate them."
Chen Xiaoliang: "After the deal is settled, remember to recommend it to Van der Sar as soon as possible. The news will leak out sooner or later. We still need to act quickly."
On November 11th, Chen Xiaoliang led the team to appear again at Old Trafford. Although there was a shortage of major generals, the injured Casemiro did not play for the sake of safety, but faced the too weak Sheffield United , Manchester United used the striker combination of Sancho, Anthony and Ganacho, and let Dalot come as a left back. In the 19th minute of the positional battle, Sancho received a through shot from B Fee outside the penalty area. break down.
Then in the 41st minute, Ganacho was tripped in the penalty area and Chen Xiaoliang took a penalty kick to make it 2-0.
After 20 minutes of playing in the second half, Chen Xiaoliang was also replaced. Ten Hag boldly sent in the 18-year-old midfielder Menu. The final score did not change. The result of 2-0 allowed Manchester United to continue to lead Manchester City by 2 points. ranking.
It’s still too late today, I have to go out to do errands as soon as the distribution is over, there will be a lot of free time tomorrow, once again I apologize to the directors who sent the monthly tickets at the end of the month!
The list of acknowledgments will be added later! !
(End of this chapter)
Rice's sending off means that Arteta's backhand strategy in this game has completely failed. He tried to use Rice and Amadou Onana and keep Xhaka to strengthen the team's "hardness". Physical confrontation is tough, and you must have confidence when facing strong teams.
But something like "hardness" will become "reckless" if it is overdone, and the result of impulsiveness will inevitably be the devil.
Arsenal, with one less man to fight, is still making the final effort.

Klopp's team has obviously come back this season. With the help of Barrera, Ward-Prowse and McAllister after joining, the midfielder has been reborn.
