Chapter 3 Lineup

Chapter 3 lineup

As the summer break in the Europa League gradually entered a hiatus, the news of the transfer window gradually increased.

This season, there have been rumors of buying and strengthening in the Premier League, but so far, the Premier League's hegemon Manchester United has not reported any valuable reinforcements.

In the past, the media was always keen to report the transfer news about Manchester United, because Manchester United, as a super giant, has not achieved satisfactory results in recent years, and naturally, Manchester United, who is anxious to stabilize their results, will naturally become the role that the star on the media page chases.

Even the player's contract renewal and salary increase always like to involve Manchester United.

For example, before the start of last season, Ancelotti's preferred choice of central defender was Ramos rather than Hummels, and Ramos was indeed in a relationship with Manchester United at that time, with the Red Devils first offering 40 million euros to Real Madrid for Ramos, and after being rejected by Real Madrid, Manchester United made a higher offer again. To Real Madrid's surprise, Real Madrid president Florentino and general manager José Sanchez met with Ramos and his agent René on Monday and cleared up any misunderstandings. The ABC later revealed that Ramos said he would not be in contact with Manchester United again, saying, "I want to be able to stay at Real Madrid. Florentino, on the other hand, said, "I want you to retire at Real Madrid. Real Madrid have offered Ramos a five-year contract with an annual salary of 10 million euros, which is enough to satisfy Ramos.

According to the Daily Mirror, Sergio Ramos has used the Red Devils as a means to negotiate a salary increase with Real Madrid, while the Spanish centre-back has also been successful. A Manchester United insider, who asked not to be named, told the Daily Star: "The club believes he will leave Real Madrid and join us. We asked him to open up about his thoughts to speed up the transfer, but it looks like he's been playing the game. We felt betrayed by Ramos and we became a bargaining chip for him to negotiate with Real Madrid to get him a better contract and it looks like he worked out as well. A player of his level and status should not behave like this. ”

There is no doubt that Ramos, in order to get more favorable terms when renewing his contract with Real Madrid, is playing Manchester United and completely using Manchester United as a robbery.

Even this incident has affected the relationship between Manchester United and Real Madrid's two giant clubs, and even when Real Madrid was preparing to negotiate a transfer with Manchester United for De Gea, Manchester United unilaterally closed the transfer negotiation channel as a retaliation.

In fact, not only Ramos, but also Barcelona's Neymar and even Messi have had an affair with Manchester United in the contract year, and in the end they got a big contract.

This season, however, there has been very little news about Manchester United's transfers, mainly because Carlo Ancelotti said in an interview that he was very satisfied with Manchester United's current squad, which discouraged the enthusiasm of the media to a certain extent.

But is Carlo Ancelotti really happy with the squad he has now?

Not necessarily.

Carlo Ancelotti has not been too happy with United's midfield combination. He has always wanted to make some changes in this position, but he has so many player resources at his disposal.

It is the three players who have more opportunities to play this season, such as Kramer, Herrera and Fellaini, although Ancelotti is still somewhat satisfied with the defensive strength of these three midfielders, but in attack, these three midfielders are obviously organizing the attack and inserting the attack, and it is difficult to meet Ancelotti's needs.

And Carrick is the main substitute in this lineup, and he often gets the opportunity to start, and there are many opportunities to substitute, but if Carrick is only twenty-five years old now, Ancelotti can undoubtedly sit back and relax, but now Carrick is old after all, and his action speed and confrontation intensity will inevitably decline to varying degrees.

Carlo Ancelotti is looking for a midfielder who can attack and defend well, and can play well in physical confrontation, ball handling, offensive playmaking and even scoring.

Such an all-round midfielder is naturally impossible to rot the streets.

So Carlo Ancelotti is ready to wait a little more in the transfer market.

Another point is that at centre-back, Carlo Ancelotti is also ready to bring in a player.

As the main force, the partnership of Hummels and Rojo is actually enough, plus Smalling and Phil Jones as substitutes, this set of central defenders is actually no problem in the Premier League.

However, Carlo Ancelotti is not particularly satisfied with Rojo's ability, and his positioning for Rojo is actually a panacea substitute, he can play as a central defender or a left-back.

So Carlo Ancelotti still wants a star-level centre-back to partner Hummels.

So Manchester United's main targets in this summer transfer window are in these two positions.

As for the other positions, Carlo Ancelotti doesn't think much change is needed for the time being.

Valencia is almost full attendance this season, the Ecuadorian player is full of energy, and there have been few injuries this season, and in this position, Rafael has played him as a substitute, but unfortunately Rafael has not been able to get many opportunities to play this season, and he has already begun to think. But even so, Ancelotti doesn't have to worry too much about the right-back position.

The left-back position Manchester United has a lot of reserves, and it even seems a little redundant, Sandro was the main player last season, if nothing else, the main left-back this season is also Sandro, the substitute has Luke Shaw, Blind can also play this position, Rojo can also play this position, and even Ashley Young to play left-back effect is also good.

In the attacking line-up, Carlo Ancelotti was really satisfied.

Center forward Li Qingshan, this is undoubtedly the core of the team, as long as he is in good physical condition and there is no red and yellow card suspension, Li Qingshan is impossible to substitute.

Juan Mata and Di Maria on either side have different styles, but they complement each other well, and they are both players who are willing to play as deputies to the core of the team, so there is no need to worry about them going back to fight for Li Qingshan's dominance of the pitch.

In terms of the replacement facelift of the attacking line, Carlo Ancelotti is ready to keep Ashley Young and promote youngsters Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard as substitutes in the team.

In this way, Manchester United's work in the transfer window does not need too much, as long as Ancelotti's requirements are in place, Manchester United can get a certain improvement on the basis of the original lineup, with Manchester United's dominance in the league this season, winning the Premier League title in the new season, should be very confident.
