No. 121 Bad Things

The two sides signed under the cameras and flashlights of nearly 100 media, and the signing ceremony was completed.

Then Jonk shook hands with the representative of the other party's headquarters, which also officially announced that Jonk became the spokesperson of Nike, and in the next four years, he will use his influence to bring benefits to Nike, of course, he himself has benefited a lot, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of influence will also rise to a height.

"Jonker, we believe it will be a great collaboration." "It even reminds me of the company's partnership with Michael." ”

Nike executives are quite optimistic about Jonker, and when they gave speeches, they even compared Jonk to Nike, which was compared to Nike and Michael. Jordan's signing, this is definitely a super compliment.

Jonk was also quite happy with Nike's compliment, of course he knew that Michael. The importance of Jordan to Nike, since Nike said so, shows that Nike uses a qiē resource to promote itself.

His influence can bring profits to Nike, and Nike's vigorous promotion will also make Jonker's influence even greater. It's a win-win.

"Thank you." With a confident smile on his face, Jonk said, "I'm also excited to work with Nike, and I'm confident that it's going to be a great collaboration." ”

Meanwhile, in England, Jork's former mentor Jose Mourinho is not having such an easy time.

"News of the World" broke the news last week that Chelsea owner Abobou decided to start the chase for Barcelona striker Ronaldo because he was dissatisfied with coach Jose Mourinho's "1-0 doctrine". And when he left the pitch early yesterday, the Russian should have strengthened his resolve. 0 to 2. Chelsea suffered their first defeat of the new season against Villa and ended their 18-game unbeaten run in the league. This time it was finally no longer "1-0", but now the result is clearly even worse.

Chelsea had won 1-0 against Portsmouth the week before. But the look on the face of owner Abu was very ugly when he walked into the dressing room after that game.

Despite attempts to lift the boss's spirits with Chelsea's already five places above Manchester United in the table, Abu's disappointment is hard to hide. The Russians had previously warned Mourinho that they could no longer tolerate his "1-0 doctrine".

The Portuguese has also assured that Chelsea will play a smoother and more attractive football in the new season. The reality was that he had to watch two games in a row in which only Frank Lampard scored, and nothing changed as it did last season.

Disappointed, Abu decided to take matters into his own. He and his brother who is in London to woo Adriano to move to Manchester City. Although Ronaldo's arrival may cost the Russians a whopping £85 million, the idea is too tempting for Abu.

Abu personally abducted Xiao Luo, which led to a new round of contradictions between the boss and the coach.

A club insider revealed. Roman is fed up with the way the team is playing now, and Jose has assured him that the team will show a new look this season, but the same will be the same. That's why he wants Ronaldo so much, and at the same time to let the manager know how he wants Chelsea to play. But Jose didn't want Ronaldo. He's not the type the manager likes and he won't fit into the Blues model. At the same time, he was unhappy that his boss was doing things behind his back. ”

Jose Mourinho needs to use his results to justify his ability, but using Villa as a target is not a good option. Despite just one win so far off the season, the team is not scared of Chelsea. They have drawn their last three meetings with the Blues, while Villa have not lost at home to Chelsea since 1999, with a 5-0 win in the Carabao Cup in midweek also boosting confidence.

Frank Lampard's absence has had a serious impact on the team, and Chelsea are not short of attack, but the Blues' attacking efforts have not been able to translate into goals. The first half came to an end after Malouda missed a number of chances to score. Mourinho puffed out his cheeks helplessly in the dugout, while Abou frequently changed his position in his seat in the stands.

Villa kept their rhythm all the time. While the defense is solid, there is no shortage of beautiful offense. The best chance of the first half didn't come from Chelsea, but from Villa's Abonlaho's header. Villa continued their threat in front of goal at the start of the second half, and in the 47th minute, the fear finally became a reality. Clayter, who had just joined the new season, scored with a header from six yards to take the lead, and O'Neill came to his senses on the sidelines, simply outstretching his arms and high-fives in the air to signal the players to continue the offensive momentum.

Chelsea, who fell behind, made a series of personnel changes, with Pizarro replacing Mikel, Joe. Kerr and Kalou also came on but the Blues struggled without Frank Lampard and in the 88th minute Villa were added by Abbon Lajo, who is known as 'Chelsea' nemesis. Seeing that the two goals were behind, Abu shook his head and got up and left the stands.

Behind Ronaldo's "deal" is another rift between Abu and Mourinho, the madman revealed in his autobiography that when he took charge of Stamford Bridge in 2004, Abu asked him if he wanted Ronaldo, and he refused, because Mourinho did not think Ronaldo did not meet the requirements of his system. But this summer, Abu held secret talks with Ronaldo's agent without informing Mourinho, and even Kenyon didn't know about it. Obviously, Abu has the idea of ignoring the needs of the head coach and having the final say in the introduction of players.

Abu wants Ronaldo, just like he pursued Sheva hard, Mourinho didn't want the Ukrainian, but the fanatical Abu still gave it to him, and now Sheva is reduced to the fourth striker, even if he recovers from injury, he has to sit on the bench under the guise of injury.

From the manager's point of view, Mourinho is not a grievance, he can't buy people exactly according to his own wishes, he can't coach the team according to his own ideas, and his boss is intervening more and more, making him like a dancer in shackles. At Manchester United and Arsenal, Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger can fully enjoy the power of 'Manager', but at Chelsea. Jose Mourinho is nothing more than a "coach", and he has to accept criticism of his tactical style of play, and he is under pressure from his own beliefs and bosses.

At the beginning of Abu's reign. He desperately needed results to establish himself as a club and Mourinho brought what he wanted. But as Abu pursued his ideal football, he found that the madman's triumphism did not seem to fit in with him, and while the summer peace talks made Chelsea appear calm, there seemed to be a contradiction that would never be reconciled.

Manchester United are naturally very happy to see the situation of their main rivals in the league, but before reading the joke, they also need to make sure they don't make mistakes.

The league came to the sixth round. The opponent was replaced by Everton, led by David Moyes!

Everton's record curve in the last six seasons (15th in 01-02, 7th in 02-03, 17th in 03-04, 4th in 04-05, 11th in 05-06, 6th in 06-07), Moyes's team may face a serious test in the new season. However, it is undeniable that Everton's overall strength is slowly improving, with an average ranking of 7.3 in the past three seasons. Twice in Europe. They finished sixth last season, just two points behind fifth-placed Tottenham.

David Moyes has continued last summer's transfer strategy of "preferring to be lacking rather than excess", and has only spent £9 million to bring in three new signings, compared to Tottenham and West Ham other teams of the same level. Toffee is very low-key.

The number of new players is small though. But it's all practical. The £5 million purchase of left-back Baines from Wigan fills the void left by Naismith's departure. The 22-year-old is an absolute mainstay of England's Under-21 squad, with plenty of physique, attacking awareness and ability, and has knocked on the door of United twice, one of which was a stunning free-kick. From Wigan Rookie of the Year '04 to Player of the Year and Captain of the Year '07, Bynes has shown leadership potential. Former Wigan Jevir praised him for "having a great football brain". It is worth mentioning that Manchester United had wanted to bring in Bynes, while former Red Devils captain Keane made an offer of 6 million last month but was rejected. The choice of Everton was Bynes' own decision. After two seasons of hard fighting against a relegation team, he entered the European battlefield, and he is very rational about his career planning.

Other than that. It was also a good deal to buy Jagielka from relegated Sheffield United, who scored four goals in 30 games last season, covering all positions in central midfield and even goalkeeper, and was named in the England B team at the end of the season. The 24-year-old Jagielka, like Baines, is young, well-founded and malleable.

Another newcomer, Pienaar, who made a name for himself at Ajax at a young age, brought in midfield hitmen such as Gary Cahill and Mikel Arteta, and perhaps Pienaar will be the new Cahill.

Everton did not do well in terms of departing players, Beattie, who only scored 13 goals in 2 years, was purged to the relegated Sheffield United, and Everton actually earned back 4 million, although only half of the cost of the introduction was recovered, but it is better than raising him. Pistone, Richard Wright transferred on a free transfer, Naismith also went to Sheffield United, worth 1 million, and Everton also earned 1 million in and 2 out of Sheffield United's 1-in-2-out deal.

So far, three in and four out, Everton has only made partial changes and additions to the team's existing lineup, Baines and Jagielka can impact the main lineup, but the strength of the main lineup, especially the midfield, has not improved much. David Moyes will still rely on his existing players to play in a number of battles.

In the goalkeeper position, Howard's main position has not been shaken, and after the departure of Richard Wright, 23-year-old Turner and 20-year-old Rudy competed for backup goalkeeper, a position that is slightly weak.

Baines will compete with Portuguese Valente for the main left-back, freeing up Lescott, who shone last season, and the "Premier League Erlang God" will return to the middle, partnering with one of Yabo and Stubbs in central defence, and the right-back is Phil Neville or Shepott.

The midfield is Everton's strong point, Phil Neville and Mikel Arteta are attacking and defending, especially the latter's vision, clarity and precision, Cahill was once the midfield killer after a serious injury last season, and this summer the team did everything to keep Arteta and let him refuse the temptation of Atletico Madrid, and he will still be the soul of the Toffees this season.

Gary Cahill, Osman and Carsley are behind the strikers, with Bruno Fernandes, who signed out on loan in the second half of last season, and newcomer Pienaar attacking the squad. This lineup is characterized by good body, excellent confrontation ability, and strong stability, which belongs to the typical British avant-garde. Arteta is also embellished with technical flow, while Fernandes' technique and Pinard's dynamism give the forward line more elements.

The obvious choice for a single striker is Andy Johnson, who scored 11 goals last season and was the team's top scorer. Strong physique, strong impact, excellent headers. Everton need the kind of striker who can score on his own and create gaps for his teammates. McFadden has good technique at his feet, but is somewhere between a center and a winger, with youngsters Abicheni and Vaughn looking to break out.

Overall, there are few changes to Everton's squad, with David Moyes focusing on internal prospects. Several youngsters and new signings have a good foundation and have the potential to "emerge", but how many of them can eventually become talents depends on Moyes's skills.

There were few changes to the Foton personnel. There are pros and cons, with the overall structure of the squad remaining the same, and David Moyes' players not having to struggle with the formation and new team-mates. But for multi-front operations. Especially in the UEFA Cup, Everton is clearly short of personnel reserves. Last season the team played just four 'extra cup games plus the Premier League' (Tottenham played 20), and in this situation there are still eight players who have started 31 or more. Everton, who are fighting on multiple fronts in the new season, will have to play at least 10 more cup games, and the lack of troops will bury a hidden danger for the record.

However, there were some surprises for United before the game. Not inside the training ground. It's off the training ground.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was attacked at the train station in an incident that drew widespread media attention in the British media, and on Wednesday, police released the identity and some details of the attack on the man who was expected to be sentenced to prison.

It happened around 4pm local time on Monday in the UK, when Ferguson was waiting for a train at Euston train station in central London, waiting for his driver to come and pick him up. Forty-three-year-old Kevin Reynolds walked over, the man dressed sloppily. Ferguson thought it was a beggar who had come up to ask for money, but he was not alarmed.

At this point, Reynolds suddenly attacked Ferguson, and he threw an uppercut at the United manager, Ferguson instinctively dodged, and the fist smashed into his groin, when Ferguson bent down in pain and almost crouched on the ground.

At this time, Reynolds said to Ferguson: "I'm sorry, Ferguson, I didn't know it was you." But then he started shouting slogans: "Ferguson, Ferguson, shut up!" In Scotland, this is a popular phrase among fans, used to satirize Ferguson's frequent comments on the pitch. Apparently, the man had known for a long time that this was the Manchester United manager.

At this point, a police officer came to the scene, Ferguson identified the attacker, and when the police tried to take Reynolds, the man hit the police with his head again, and upon examination, he had previously drunk a lot of alcohol and was in a state of intoxication.

After the attack, Ferguson was somewhat frightened, and the pain on his body lasted for some time, but no further treatment was required.

Mr. Reynolds, who was tried at London's Southwalker Criminal Court, confessed to the assault and said his defense lawyer said that Mr. Reynolds was drunk and just wanted to play a joke with Mr. Ferguson, waving his fist at him and accidentally hitting Mr. Ferguson, though the magistrate said Mr. Ferguson did not take it as a joke.

Manchester United have been unlucky lately, with Wayne Rooney injured and the team's attacking power affected, and Alex Ferguson being punched for no apparent reason. Yesterday, according to Brazilian media, Red Devils striker Carlos Tevez has been the subject of an investigation by the Brazilian police, and a number of players, including him, will face up to five years in prison for alleged tax evasion.

The Brazilian police are currently investigating the traditional powerhouse in São Paulo, Brazil, and the two players' agents, Horabuchin, and his company, MSI, are also implicated. The current police investigation targets include Argentine double star and Brazilian midfielder Carlos Bremen. Alberto, as well as his compatriot Besiktas midfielder Ricardinho. According to the newspaper Daily de São Paulo, Brazilian police are currently investigating some of the illegal economic activities carried out during MSI's holding of Corinthians, including tax evasion when paying salaries to big-name players such as Tevez. The police suspect that some of Tevez and others' salaries were not reported to the tax authorities, but instead used means such as overseas payments to evade taxes, which is a serious economic crime in Brazil.

According to the newspaper Diale de São Paulo, the police said that if convicted, the two Argentine players are likely to face between two and five years in prison. However, several of the main players involved in the case, as well as Horabuchin himself, are no longer in Brazil, and it is unknown how they will serve their sentences even if they are found guilty.

Everton have been in good form of late, currently sitting third in the Premier League. However, judging from the opponents who have won three games, Everton has not faced much hindrance. After going through the national team competition, Everton's main squad took a hit. American goalkeeper Howard was injured in the warm-up match against Brazil, and second goalkeeper Turner was also injured, and Everton could only use third goalkeeper Wiesels for this game. This will be good news for Manchester United.

After two consecutive Premier League wins, the Red Devils are showing signs of rebounding and good things are on the way. First, Ryan Giggs got married, and then it was rumored that the three generals were about to make a comeback. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has expired from suspension, will return to the starting line-up for this round, captain Neville is also returning, and although he may not be in time to play, his return is really exciting for the Red Devils, and most incredibly, striker Wayne Rooney has recovered from injury and offered to play for his old club. Wonder Boy recovered in just four weeks after a metatarsal fracture and recovered much faster than doctors expected. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said: "Wayne Rooney will be with us at Goodison Park, but it remains to be considered whether to start or come off the bench. "If Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo can return at the same time, it will hopefully solve the team's lack of attack.

Manchester United had a good run at Goodison and secured the Premier League title by beating Everton last season. In the last 6 meetings, the Red Devils have won 5 and lost 1 and scored 14 goals. Although the Champions League will be played in the middle of next week, the Red Devils are expected to win three in a row due to various factors.

Ferguson continued his usual style before the start of the game and started a new round of war of words, this time not against Moyes's Everton, but against the schedule.

Benitez's accusations about the Premier League's fixture schedule quickly reverberated in English football. As an opponent on the field, Ferguson is completely on Benitez's side this time, believing that the Premier League does have a tendency to favor one over the other when arranging the schedule. At the same time, Ferguson did not forget to point the finger at his old rival Chelsea.

Like Liverpool, Manchester United's league fixtures are also scheduled for noon local time. With the European Championship qualifiers and the Champions League group stage in the future, Ferguson believes that the schedule is really bad for the team: "It's not easy to play at this moment, we've had a lot of similar experiences, so it's completely understandable for Benitez. Such an unfair schedule should be adjusted as much as possible. ”

Ferguson then turned up the old score, saying that Manchester United have been the biggest victims of unfair fixture scheduling: "After hearing Benitez's words, I looked at the records of the last five years and found that United played more games at noon than any team. How do you think this situation should be fought? In any case, in my opinion, whether the Premier League is receptive or not, this situation has to change. ”

In fact, Ferguson has complained about this situation many times in the past. One of the things he finds most difficult to accept is that Chelsea can be given certain 'privileges' in terms of fixture scheduling. Ferguson was angry about this: 'For example, in last season's competition, Chelsea were supposed to play in the league against Tottenham on Sunday, but after their request, the Premier League agreed to bring the game forward to Saturday because Chelsea will play in the Champions League next Tuesday. But Tottenham, meanwhile, had just played in the UEFA Cup on Thursday and the schedule changes meant they had less than 48 hours of rest before the league. Then when we asked for a postponement of a derby on Saturday, the Premier League refused, even though we had just played in a Champions League game on Wednesday night and City had no task for the coming week. ”

While the old man described United as a "victim" in his remarks, it is interesting to note that almost every manager, including him, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, has complained about the unfair treatment of their side in terms of fixtures, and believes that other opponents have received "special care" from the Premier League. It seems that the issue of the Premier League's schedule will become a permanent "war of words" between these managers. (To be continued......)
