"AC Milan wanted to sell Kaka, and Manchester City were the buyers, but the transfer didn't work out because Kaka told me that he would either stay in Milan or go to Real Madrid!"
……
In February, with the release of an interview with Kaka's father and agent Bosko Wright in the Milan sports newspaper, a transfer secret that attracted the attention of fans around the world during the winter break also appeared in front of the world again.
It's no secret that Kaka wants to go to Real Madrid, but what happened to him when he suddenly called for a transfer halt and rejected Manchester City just before he was almost certain to join Manchester City, that's what everyone is looking for.
This remark of Bosco Wright undoubtedly pointed out a new direction for everyone, that is, the third party between Kaka and Manchester City, Real Madrid!
But the question is, at a time when Kaka is negotiating with Manchester City, Real Madrid president Calderón is experiencing a crisis of confidence and is subsequently stepping down, where will he have time to deal with Kaka's transfer?
As a result, the Milan sports newspaper made another speculation, that is, Florentino, who has been hidden behind the scenes.
Since Calderón's ouster, everyone has speculated that Florentino intends to return to Real Madrid, and has laid out a very amazing blueprint of superstars, claiming that the former captain of the Galaxy will spend a lot of money on the 2.0 version of the Galaxy Battleship.
And now, Kaka has rejected Manchester City and made it clear that he is willing to join Real Madrid, which undoubtedly reveals a clear signal.
The newspaper Sport has concluded that Kaka's rejection of Manchester City was due to the promise Florentino had made to him.
"He doesn't want to move to Manchester City for money!"
The Spanish media also quickly broke the news that Real Madrid's presidential election will be held in the first week of July, and polls in many media outlets show that the call for Florentino's return is very high, even so high that if he announces his return, other candidates are likely to abandon the election.
"Kaka is not Florentino's ultimate goal, what he really wants is to fulfill the wish he had three years ago, to bring Yang Yang to the Bernabeu, and to make the best and greatest stars on the planet wear the Real Madrid shirt."
The reports from the Italian and Spanish media immediately made the entire European football world, and the world football world boil.
Although it's only February, everyone is already looking forward to this year's summer transfer and the upcoming transfer drama.
Because everyone knows very well that after winning the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or for two consecutive years, Yang Yang has become the first person in world football and a hot figure in the transfer market, but now Liverpool is in a deep financial crisis and must sell players to fill the financial hole.
In this case, once Yang Yang transfers, it is bound to be an astonishing sky-high price.
The world is looking forward to it.
…………
…………
While the media and fans around the world are hotly discussing the return of Florentino, the possibility of Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid, and whether Yang Yang will detonate the transfer market this summer, the protagonist Yang Yang flew back to Tokyo, Japan from the United Kingdom.
In Tokyo, Yang Yang joined the national team and participated in a key match of the Asian Top 10 Tournament.
The Chinese team challenged Japan away.
The two sides played very hard, Japan's overall strength was slightly superior, and the Chinese team was fighting away after all, but Alihan adopted a steady counterattack tactic, pushing Yang Yang to the front line alone, provoking the team's offensive counterattack.
Yang Yang also lived up to expectations, although he was a long-distance trip back to China, but still in the 36th minute of the first half, he took advantage of a counterattack opportunity, quickly dribbled the ball and raided, and assisted Chen Tao to score a goal.
But in the 78th minute of the second half, Yang Yang was fouled by a Japanese defender when he was dribbling the ball, and he injured his ankle and had to be replaced early.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated Japan 1-0 away and ranked first in Group A of the top 10 competition, and there was basically no suspense about qualifying.
But Yang Yang was injured and was replaced early, but it made the whole world nervous, especially Liverpool fans.
You must know that one of the important reasons for the Reds' breakthrough this season is Yang Yang's outstanding performance, and his injury is definitely a painful blow to Liverpool.
Not only the media and fans are concerned, Liverpool also attaches great importance to it, as soon as they heard the news, they immediately contacted the Chinese national team, and then assistant coach Yesterdam and team doctor Mark Waller immediately flew from Liverpool to Beijing to learn about Yang Yang's situation, and they were relieved to hear that the situation was fine.
With an ankle injury, Yang Yang is bound to miss the next few games.
This also worries Liverpool fans.
This season's Liverpool is called Yang Yang's one-man team, which shows the importance of Yang Yang to this Liverpool team.
Not to mention anything else, so far, 33 goals and 17 assists have been scored in 25 rounds of the Premier League, and most of Liverpool's goals have been directed by one person, and five goals and two assists have been scored in six group games in Europe, which shows the importance of Yang Yang to the current Liverpool team.
Even, even Benitez himself has to admit that Yang Yang is the most important core player of the current Liverpool team.
His injury naturally frustrated the pro-Liverpool media and fans, as well as the excitement of Liverpool's opponents.
From the start of the Premier League in August to the middle of February, Yang Yang has played almost all the important games like an iron man, but now he is finally injured.
……
On 14 February, the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-1 at home.
Gareth Barry opened the scoring for Liverpool just four minutes into the game, but Aston Villa equalised just four minutes later.
In the 24th minute, Xavi Alonso received an assist from Crouch for Liverpool to score again.
After the rematch in the second half, Gerrard received a pass from Crouch in the 76th minute to score another goal for Liverpool, and finally defeated the opponent 3-1 and successfully advanced to the next round.
Although the game was won, it was a pyrrhic victory, as Crouch, who provided two assists, suffered a recurrence of an old muscle injury after the game and was forced to sideline for two to three weeks.
……
In the 26th round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosted Manchester City.
Yang Yang and Crouch were sidelined with injuries, and Kuyt was pushed to the center forward position.
The two sides played a stalemate, and Mark Hughes's side were pretty well organised defensively against strong opponents.
Arbeloa made a mistake in the 51st minute and scored an own goal.
Kuyt equalised for Liverpool in the 78th minute.
In the end, the Reds drew 1-1 with Kuyt.
What was really worrying was that in the 61st minute of the game, Gerrard was replaced by Benayoun.
The substitution led to Benayoun setting up Kuyt's equaliser, but it was soon revealed that Gerrard was injured shortly after the start of the game, but he continued to play until the 60th minute, when he couldn't hold on and was forced to call for a substitution.
First Yang Yang, then Kuyt, then Gerrard, Liverpool entered February and began to usher in a wave of injuries.
This is not surprising to the outside world, as the Reds have started the season so well and with few injuries, they have lost the fewest injuries among the top four teams.
But the more this happens, the more likely it is to have problems in the second half of the journey.
And whether it is Crouch or Gerrard, it is a recurrence of old injuries, and only Yang Yang was tackled by a Japanese international and injured his ankle, which is difficult to avoid on the court.
……
Liverpool drew with Manchester City, but Manchester United won consecutive games, with goals from Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, narrowly defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at home, and successfully closed the gap with Liverpool.
Ferguson said happily after the game that he was waiting for a mistake from Liverpool.
'We're creating an incredible result because we've won nine in a row so far, which is unbelievable, and I'm confident we'll eventually overtake Liverpool to become the Premier League champions this season.'
Ferguson said his confidence came from injuries and mistakes in his opponents.
'No team can be consistent for long, Liverpool is the same, and more importantly, there will be Champions League challenges ahead, Real Madrid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Juande Ramos knows Liverpool very well.
Ferguson's intention is also very obvious, that is, to fight psychological warfare.
The Champions League legs take place on 25 February and 11 March, with both teams playing two Premier League games each, but on 1 March, Manchester United and Liverpool will play a Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
On 14 March, Liverpool will travel to Manchester United.
In a very short period of time, there have been tough battles in a row, the pressure on both teams is very high, Liverpool is not easy, Manchester United is not much better, the only thing to be thankful for is that Manchester United has a thicker bench and Ferguson has more rotation.
It just so happened that Liverpool ushered in a wave of injuries, which added a bit of help to Manchester United.
Not to be outdone, Benitez quickly countered by saying that Inter Milan was also not a fuel-efficient lamp.
'Jose Mourinho is also familiar with the Premier League and his familiarity with Manchester United is not comparable to anyone's.
The Reds coach is also knocking on Alex Ferguson, which means very clearly, our opponents in the last 16 of the Champions League are not weak, but your opponents are also good, and Mourinho's Inter Milan is even more difficult than Real Madrid.
At the very least, Real Madrid has been in the round of 16 for many years.
And Juan de Ramos, who is far away in Spain, also wants to take this opportunity to break through the curse that has plagued the team for many years in the round of 16.
The team's recent successes in La Liga have also given him confidence and confidence, so he responded to Ferguson's psychological warfare from afar, publicly saying, "In Europe, Real Madrid is a much stronger club than Liverpool, and we hope to achieve results that match our strength and status at the Bernabeu." ”
The implication is that he wants to snipe Liverpool at the Bernabeu and lead the team to advance!
