While everyone was still immersed in the opening ceremony of the Red Rebels theme park, and when everyone was still waiting for Chelsea and Manchester United to make any big deals, the Red Rebels and AC Milan quietly reached a transfer agreement for Palacio.

As soon as this agreement was announced, there was an immediate uproar in the outside world.

Argentine prodigy Rodrygo? Palacio transferred to AC Milan for 45.5 million euros!

This is undoubtedly another transfer bomb this summer, which has once again hyped up the transfer market in European football, because Palacio is definitely the hottest star to be hyped this summer, especially when his brilliant performance in the Copa America has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

The value of 45.5 million euros also puts Palacio in the top 10 of European football's transfer fee records, surpassing Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid's 45 million euros, ranking 7th in the transfer record, and ahead of him is Shevchenko, who has just moved to Chelsea.

Palacio's transfer caused an uproar in English football, especially Red Rebels fans, who wondered why the club had suddenly decided to sell Palacio.

In addition to announcing this news on the official website for the first time, the Red Rebels also held a press conference the next day, Xiao Yu and Palacio personally attended the press conference, and in the face of reporters' inquiries, Xiao Yu made it clear that the club decided to sell Palacio because it felt that it was better for the development of the players.

Palacio also said at the press conference that even if he leaves the Red Rebels, he will not forget what happened here, as well as the fans here, his father still works at the club, and he will return to the team from time to time, because it has almost become his home in Europe.

As if to debunk the rumors of a possible transfer of Palacio, Xiao Yu and Palacio smiled and hugged at the press conference to show that the two sides broke up amicably.

At the same time, Mourinho's clarification was also published on the club's official website for the first time, saying that the transfer of players would be more beneficial to Palacio's development, and that AC Milan could offer Palacio a central position in the Red Rebels that he did not have.

As for the fears of many fans that Palacio's departure will put the club's magic quartet in trouble, Mourinho expressed his understanding and also said his own response.

"We still have Arjan? Robben, and Frank? Ribery, Leo? Messi also has the quality to play the main game, so there is no need to worry about the attacking power on the right side. ”

Since the club clarified all the questions and doubts at the first time, Palacio's transfer did not cause much movement, and the transfer fee of 46 million euros was indeed worth it!

Judging from the current situation, Mourinho has determined the tactics of two wingers last season, judging from this season's pre-season warm-up matches, Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben will occupy the left and right sides respectively, Xiao Xiao Luo is the right foot, Robben is the left foot, they can play on both sides, but the right foot Xiao Luo is more convenient to cut inside on the left side, and Robben is also on the right side.

On the other hand, Ribery, who is right-footed, believes that he will bid farewell to his wandering career and be fixed as a substitute for Ronaldo on the left, while Messi is fixed on the right.

Judging from the pre-season preparations, Mourinho paid great attention to Kaka's forward insertion in the tactical arrangement, adding a sudden surname, he asked the two wingers and Drogba to pay attention to tearing up the space, and Beckham behind him was also given a more flexible task.

Although the tactics and coordination of the Magic Quartet in the front court have changed slightly, the team as a whole has not changed much.

…………………… At the same time as Palacio's sky-high transfer to AC Milan, Arsenal announced the introduction of central defender Hangrande from Copenhagen, and suddenly another Red Rebels star played for Europe's top teams.

In terms of warm-up matches, Chelsea have performed well in several warm-up games in the Netherlands, and Carlo Ancelotti has joined the Blues determined to build the Blues into a Premier League team with a strong tactical surname and a smooth and beautiful attacking football.

Judging from the reaction to the warm-up game, it is widely believed that Ancelotti is still groping, after all, Chelsea have just undergone a large-scale substitution, but Ancelotti has clearly confirmed the main lineup at the back.

Goalkeeper Hildebrand was the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga last season, and after a high-priced transfer to Chelsea, Ancelotti immediately promoted him to replace Cudicini as the team's goalkeeper.

The left wing-back is basically the position of England international Bridge, but Barbayaro can also pose a threat to him; With Pacos Ferreira at right wing-back and Cannavaro and Stam at centre-back, Carvalho will be a strong partnership for the two.

Judging from several pre-season warm-up games, the backline hand-picked by Ancelotti is still very good, and the performance and cooperation in the warm-up games are quite satisfactory, and the strength of the players is very strong, I believe that with the deepening of the season, the performance will be more convincing.

Compared with the stability of the backline, Chelsea's midfield is a number of combinations, in the warm-up game, 442, 433, 4231, 4132 and other formations rotated, but from the current situation, Ancelotti is undoubtedly swinging in 4231 and Christmas tree 4321, especially the 4321 formation.

In this Christmas tree formation, Emerson, Deco, Veron, Frank Lampard, Joe? Cole's five players are undoubtedly the midfield five, Frank Lampard and Joe? Kerr was placed in the 2 position, while Shevchenko acted as the team's arrowhead.

This tactic worked well in the warm-up game, Joe? Cole and Frank Lampard have had a fair share of opportunities behind Shevchenko and have been impressive, but Abou is clearly not yet satisfied, and he is hoping to bring in Bayern Munich before the end of the transfer window.

However, Bayern is not short of money and does not want to sell Ballack, so they have always refused to negotiate.

Judging from this set of tactics, Ancelotti undoubtedly still wants to be able to play the tactics of attacking and controlling the game, so Veron was placed in a more backward position, responsible for organizing and playing the ball, Deco assisted, and Emerson was more of an interceptor.

Judging from the progress in the recent period, Chelsea's squad is undoubtedly progressing well, and Premier League fans are looking forward to their performance in the new season.

But when it comes to pre-season warm-ups, Manchester United are definitely the most popular team.

Ruud van Nistelrooy played as a lone striker, followed by Diego and Paul Scholes, the latter of whom was more central and focused on playmaking and playmaking, but he was also very capable of inserting in the back row, with Ryan Giggs and Robinho playing as the two wings, and Keane playing as a central midfielder.

This set of attacking lineup performed very well in the warm-up game, and the arrival of Diego and Robinho injected a delicate breeze into the Manchester United midfield on the basis of the original strength and iron blood, which made Manchester United win many big scores in the warm-up games, especially Robinho, the Manchester United journey of the bicycle boy is undoubtedly bright.

Although the season has not yet begun, bookmakers have started to set odds for Premier League teams, with Chelsea topping the table, Manchester United in second, Red Rebels in third and Arsenal and Liverpool in joint fourth, but apart from Chelsea, the odds are close.

And in the ratings of many newspapers and magazines, the Red Rebels once again ranked first in defense, and they believed that Evra, Terry, Curtis and Kolo? Toure's backline, plus Philippe? With strong substitutes such as Lahm, Nemanjac Vidic and McConn, the Red Rebels have the strongest backline among any Premier League team.

Then there is Chelsea, and it is difficult to think of a central defensive combination of Cannavaro and Stam.

In terms of attacking power, Drogba, Ronaldo, Kaka, Robben and Beckham's attacking combination in the front court is undoubtedly strong, but it is undoubtedly inferior to the luxury frontcourt of Chelsea and Manchester United.

Even Martin, who is the most optimistic about the Red Rebels? Samuel also pointed out in the column that the Red Rebels sold Palacio undoubtedly to provide a chance for new stars to emerge, but they must take the risk of young players, and no one will doubt the talent of Ronaldo, Robben, Kaka, Messi and others, but they also need to become more mature.

On the other hand, Chelsea and Manchester United, their players are undoubtedly in their playing years, and as long as they run in properly, they can still overwhelm the Red Rebels in terms of overall strength.

For the outside world's opinion, Xiao Yu and Mourinho agree that last year's championship was full of luck, judging from the trend of the whole season, the Red Rebels' stamina is a little unstable, especially when the schedule is busy, the pressure of young players is still a little insufficient, so that they can not play their best at critical moments.

David Beckham was the biggest contributor to the team's title last season and the Premier League's Player of the Season, and it is believed that after last season's workout, he will be able to improve this season as he is at the peak of his career.

As for players such as Kaka, Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben, Xiao Yu and Mourinho have the same idea, they need to be given time to grow, and Drogba's improvement is still obvious, it is said that he often steals Villa's shots, which makes his shooting skills improve a lot, and his form last season is also very stable, I believe that this season's performance can also go further.

Although Villa is Drogba's substitute, his form and goal rate are as high as ever, which allows Mourinho to always rely on him in important moments, and he can also get quite a few chances, and even occasionally press Drogba on the bench.

Originally, he sold Palacio, Xiao Yu wanted to bring in a player, but Mourinho once again rejected Xiao Yu's proposal, he thought Michael? Both Johnson and Mikel have the quality to establish themselves in the first team, and both players come from the Red Rebels' youth system, so they are very familiar with and understand the Red Rebels' tactical system and can carry out tactical tasks well.

If players are introduced at this time, it will undoubtedly further compress the opportunities for youth players, especially Messi, who Mourinho is very optimistic about, he can play any position in the front court, and Mourinho attaches great importance to him.

When Mourinho talked about Messi, Xiao Yu didn't insist, he even felt that if the results of one or two seasons were exchanged for the maturity and stability of Xiao Xiaoluo, Messi and others, it would be worth it more than anything.

And the reason why Xiao Yu is so sure that several players such as Xiao Xiaoluo, Messi, Kaka, Robben and so on can be accommodated, it is because Mourinho has discussed this issue with Xiao Yu before, and he has deeply analyzed the technical characteristics and habits of these players, and finally came to the conclusion that their combination will make the Red Rebels' attack strong enough to destroy any line of defense!

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yu is looking forward to the progress of these players, and at the same time does not insist on the opinion of buying people, but follows Mourinho's wishes and transfers the transfer fee obtained by Palacio to other places, such as building football schools in Argentina, Brazil and other places, and doing charity in some poor areas around the world.

After Palacio's transfer, the Red Rebels Stadium ushered in its first official match, the annual Newton Heath Cup Charity Match, which has been in existence for a few years and has now become a traditional event between the Red Rebels and Droisden, and has also had a very important weight in the hearts of many fans on both sides.

Granada TV bought the rights to broadcast the Cup, and before the broadcast, it did a special program about the origin of the Cup, and also told the unique history and legend of the Red Rebels, so that more people could know about this amazing club.
