Chapter 345 The only protagonist of the Premier League

After successfully winning the Community Shield, the Sheffield United team ushered in the final moment of relaxation before the start of the season.

Speed ​​gave the team a day off so that the players could have time to organize parties in private to communicate and exchange feelings, or to spend time with their families.

While the Sheffield United players are adjusting their bodies and minds to prepare for the new season, the other Premier League teams are also stepping up their preparations.

After completing their last friendly match, those who need to adjust their lineups continue to adjust their lineups, and those who need to make signings also speed up the time, striving to complete the final signings before the start of the season.

For example, Manchester United, which was just defeated by Sheffield United, successfully introduced Fellaini from Everton at a transfer price that far exceeded the media's expectations.

The Belgian midfielder scored 11 goals and six assists in the league with Everton last season, which is very luxurious and eye-catching, but the media generally believes that this data has a certain degree of water content.

Thanks to Moyes' almost tailor-made tactics, Fellaini served as the most important part of Everton's offensive system last season.

The premise of the position means that Fellaini no longer needs to invest a lot of energy on the defensive end, as his teammates will wipe his ass.

In front of him, there are often forwards to help him attract firepower. Therefore, in the position of offensive midfielder, the Belgian midfielder has ushered in a data explosion with sufficient firing rights and header ability, and teammate Cone

Together they became Everton's top scorer last season.

But without this specific tactical system, Fellaini's data will definitely shrink significantly.

After all, the Everton team originally lacked strong shooters, so to a certain extent, they had to find ways to tap the potential within the team and let others make up for the vacant offensive firepower.

And if he were in a wealthy team, Fellaini would definitely not be able to obtain this transcendent tactical status.

Without sufficient firing rights, Fellaini might as well retreat and continue to be an intercepting midfielder, so his value is actually inflated after the surge.

But Moyes was at his wits end now. He originally thought that after coming to Manchester United, he could choose any of the big-name stars, but in the end he didn't hook up with any of them.

Except for Carrick, he doesn't like the rest of Manchester United's existing midfielders. After struggling for almost three months, no one has been able to get him a three-man midfielder. Now he can only urge the transfer department as soon as possible.

Bring his direct disciples to Dream Theater.

Everton doesn’t want to suffer a loss. You Manchester United poached my coach, and now you want to poach my core midfielder. Can you do it without some blood?

So in Manchester United's shitty transfer operation, they ended up spending more than 30 million euros to only sign Fellaini from Everton.

When the rest of the fans saw this move by Manchester United, what else could they say besides giving a thumbs up?

Absolutely amazing!

At the same time, another team's almost final official announcement has won unanimous praise from supporters.

Mancini spent almost two months persuading the famous French player Tularan, who helped Malaga reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, to move to the Premier League, and found an excellent transitional midfielder for Chelsea.

This signing has greatly alleviated the Blues' manpower shortage in the midfield, especially in the defensive midfield position.

Turalana is also an outstanding defensive midfielder who has played the game for a long time. He is low-key and pragmatic in the French national team, has solid skills, balanced offense and defense, and can organize and defend. In other words, he is a little older, almost 30 years old, otherwise he will be transferred.

It should become more popular in the market.

After acquiring Tulalang for 6 million, Chelsea immediately announced that the signings in the summer window were over.

He introduced winger Willian from the Uzbekistan Super League, recalled Lukaku, and introduced Tularan. Mancini spent no more than 40 million in transfer fees throughout the summer window. It is completely a style of spending small money to do big things. The players left behind by his predecessor have

He also uses it very well, and he is indeed a top team-building coach.

Compared with the Manchester City duo who are still in chaos and Arsenal who are still out of money, Manchester-style Chelsea has completed the reconstruction unknowingly, and its efficiency is eye-catching.

Media opinions also believe that this season's Premier League will be a two-man game between Sheffield United and the new Chelsea.

After all, in terms of lineup, Chelsea is currently the only team in the Premier League that can come close to Sheffield United. Although the other team, Manchester City, has a luxurious lineup, they have changed coaches in the summer window. It is still unclear whether they can perform well. They need much more.

have a look.

However, no matter how the outside world publicizes Chelsea's threat, within Sheffield United, Li Mo holds a different view.

He was unexpectedly optimistic about Liverpool, which surprised Speed ​​and other Sheffield United players.

Last season, Liverpool ended up ranking seventh in the Premier League. Their position was neither up nor down, and it was hard to see that they had the slightest sense of being a strong team.

Although Rogers led the team into a good state in the second half of the league, he also has many mysterious operations. How can such a team compare with Chelsea?

Li Mo himself didn't explain much, he just said that he was very optimistic about several new players signed by Liverpool and Suarez.

Especially for Suarez, Li Mo bluntly said that the Uruguayan forward had completely adapted to the Premier League last season and should be able to perform to his level this season, just like Van Persie in the 11-12 season.

After these remarks were spread, Suarez was a little "flattered". He himself didn't know that Li Mo had such a high opinion of him.

In the 11-12 season, Van Persie turned on the killer mode and scored more than 30 goals in the league. If it hadn't been for a more perverted Li Mo, Van Persie would have been the only protagonist in the Premier League that season.

Suarez is very confident in his ability, but he has no confidence in scoring 30 goals in the Premier League in a single season. Therefore, he is sincerely happy for Li Mo's praise.

After all, it feels really good to be favored and recognized by the current leader at the center position.

Just like Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly spoke up and praised a certain winger, thinking that the other winger was great, the winger who was praised would only feel excited and excited, but not "Why do you judge me?"

Disdain ideas.

Most players want to surpass someone who is better than themselves, but when faced with a superstar who is a whole level above themselves, all they have left in their hearts is admiration and respect.

After all, everyone can see the difference in strength. It has nothing to do with age, it is just crushing by pure strength.

Sturridge has secretly become Sterling's envy because of Li Mo's optimistic words. Now Li Mo's "status in the world" is so exaggerated.

After all, he is the man who defeated Messi with 47 league goals last season and won the European Golden Boot. He is also the only star of the Premier League today. It is normal for him to become the idol of the younger generation of players.

Before the new season is about to begin, Li Mo has naturally become the player most anticipated by fans in the entire Premier League, and has triggered the most extensive discussions.

After all, Li Mo now has the heavyweight league champion, and no one is afraid of comparing statistics. If he really wants to win the Champions League this season, then Messi and Ronaldo, who seem to be reluctant twins now, might just become

It has become a double pride situation between Messi and Li Mo.

For Premier League fans who usually can't stand the "Western Blowing", if Li Mo can really compete with Messi for statistical honors, then they will have a sharp counterattack weapon.

In comparison, the slight dissatisfaction with Sheffield United is nothing. It would be more satisfying to be able to further suppress the limelight of Nishiki and Messi fans.

As the time gets closer to August 17, Premier League fans around the world are starting to get restless.

Especially in East Asia, fans are looking forward to it.

The promotion of the Premier League is mature, with a large audience and high popularity.

On the other hand, the start times of La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 are all a bit weird. In contrast, the Bundesliga and Premier League games have to take care of the rest time of most Asian fans.

For example, the start of the Premier League this time is around ten o'clock at night in East Asia, so it's time to take a rest after watching it.

The kick-off time of La Liga is at one o'clock in the morning, which is barely acceptable on Saturday, but the start time of Serie A and Ligue 1 is close to three o'clock in the morning, which is enough to put off most Asian fans.

Chinese fans are now the happiest in East Asia.

Except for Li Mo, who is in the Premier League, almost all the rest of the national team's overseas players are in the German professional league.

The start time of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 is the same as that of the Premier League. For fans in East Asia, the viewing time of most games is very suitable.

Therefore, even on weekdays, Chinese fans can watch games in which Chinese players play, which makes fans from neighboring countries envious.

Previously, when the Bundesliga started on August 10, Hao Junmin, Zhang Linpeng, and Huang Bowen all got the opportunity to play in the first round of the league, which made the Chinese sports world lively for a while.

Now that Li Mo is about to make his debut in the new season, countless fans and industry insiders are eagerly looking forward to it, waiting for Li Mo to kill everyone in the new season and start a new record journey.

Li Mo's performance last season brought his reputation in China to a higher level. It can be said that he is now almost the same as Yao Yao, who was at the peak of his career in the NBA. Even the older generation who don't usually watch football

Everyone knows that there is such a number one person like him.

On the night of August 17th, the Chinese audience who watched football but not football turned on the TV and locked on Channel 5, looking forward to Li Mo's first show of the new season.

And Channel 5, which spent a lot of money to win the Premier League broadcasting rights this summer, also spent a lot of thought on Li Mo's first game of the new season, and directly sent an on-site commentary team to strive to give fans the best audio-visual experience!

At 20:30 on the evening of August 17, at Bramall Lane Stadium, Duan Xuan appeared on Channel 5's live broadcast with a microphone in hand. Audiences across the country also saw Sheffield United's pre-match warm-up.

Among the players who were running and stretching, Li Mo's tall figure stood out!

Because today is a home game, Speed ​​also attaches great importance to it and gives Li Mo a short pre-game interview time.

Fortunately, Duan Xuan and Li Mo were already old acquaintances, and they completed the pre-match Q&A in a tacit understanding. Li Mo said hello to the domestic audience and ended his personal interview in a minute or two.

In the remaining time, Duan Xuan did not have to stand alone on the sidelines chatting awkwardly, because the Football Association sent an overseas publicity executive to today's game and accepted an exclusive interview with Channel 5 with Wang Mu.

It was said to be an exclusive interview, but in fact it was the Football Association that found out that TV Channel 5 would send a commentary team and a press team to the scene today to support Li Mo and Sheffield United, so they took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to join the team with Chinese official background.

Wutai showed its face.

After all, as more and more details and amounts of the huge endorsement contract signed by Mendes for Li Mo are revealed in the football world, major European agencies are really greedy.

It just so happens that Mendes now monopolizes the Chinese market with Li Mo. These brokerage companies are greedy and unable to take the cake, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

The Football Association naturally belongs to this group of greedy people, but they happen to be different from other agencies.

Because they are hyping the entire Premier League, and last season their senior management shrewdly promoted Li Mo to the top spot in the Premier League, so isn't this a coincidence~

First of all, I send overseas publicity executives to express congratulations and thanks to the country where the league's top team belongs. Isn't that too much?

Secondly, after expressing my congratulations, I will place a few more "small advertisements" to express that we now have a large number of advertising spaces for sale, and we can even take the lead in connecting to help the Chinese bosses talk about the stadiums of other Premier League teams.

Naming rights, there’s nothing wrong with doing these little things, right?

Finally, I played the emotional card and said that Li Mo is a well-established youth player in the Premier League. With this relationship, we are all "family members". In the future, I would like to ask Chinese audiences to watch the Premier League more. That is not the case.

Something is wrong!

You see, this is how business works, you rely on your thick skin to leave a deep impression on your bosses first, and then negotiate slowly.
