Red Rebels

After the game against Droyden, they had a week's rest. Beckham and Vidic also returned one after another, which made everyone feel relieved.

Especially Mourinho, when Drogba and the three went to participate in the African Cup, the team's injured players returned one after another, which also resolved his employment crisis to a certain extent. In addition, the team was in the most difficult situation. His performance in the schedule also gave him enough confidence, especially since his opponent in the 23rd round was Sunderland, who had booked a relegation spot in advance.

They are both promoted teams, but I have to say that Sunderland's fate is the worst.

Looking at the other two newly promoted teams, Droisden is ranked 7th in the league. As long as they continue to maintain this result, they will be able to secure a UEFA Cup seat by the end of the season. This is also Pellegrini's answer to Drois. Easten's expectations.

West Ham United is currently down to 9th, but their performance is surprising enough, especially the fighting spirit and tenacity they have shown in the league, which makes people respect these two newly promoted teams.

But what about Sunderland?

So far this season, Sunderland has not won a game. In the first 22 rounds, they have 4 draws and 18 losses, and only accumulated 4 points. This is known as the worst newly promoted team in history. The same applies. , they are also the worst relegated team in Premier League history.

Black Cats head coach McCarthy is also Keane's sworn enemy. When the latter switched to Scotland's Celtic in December 2005, he specifically mocked this unfortunate guy in the newspaper, but now he is ready to take the blame and resign.

But this cannot be blamed on McCarthy. After all, Sunderland's overall strength is too weak. However, the overall Premier League has improved very quickly this season, especially the mid-to-upper-tier teams. Even Birmingham, Portsmouth, Aston Villa and Teams such as Middlesbrough that performed well in the past are now sinking into the relegation zone. It is conceivable that the overall strength of the Premier League has improved.

McCarthy is troubled by Sunderland's current tragedy. In an interview with the media, he said that he and the team will try their best on the court, hoping to get points on the court, because they lost 0:1 at home, which made McCarthy There are still expectations for this game.

But in the end, they became the unlucky ones who were massacred.

After the players have gone through hellish ordeals, the players have become more mature, especially Ronaldinho and Messi, who have benefited a lot from this devilish schedule.

Some people say that difficulty is a double-edged sword. If you can overcome it and conquer it, then progress and light will greet you. On the other hand, if you are defeated by it, darkness and degradation will be waiting for you.

The top and bottom united together to overcome the torture of the devilish schedule, wash away the glory and take it calmly, which made the team gain a lot, especially after a week of ample rest, everyone in the team appeared to be in active condition. Sunderland was massacred 6:0, Ronaldinho and Villa scored twice, Vidic and Michael Johnson each scored one goal.

Although Kaka, currently leading the scorer list, did not score in this game, he performed a hat-trick of assists and helped the team beat Sunderland with 3 assists.

And at the same time as this game was played, at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, Manchester United defeated the visiting Liverpool 1:0 at home with Rio Ferdinand's last-minute goal. This is Bennett This was the second defeat for Sri Lanka's team this season, especially this one to their arch-rival Manchester United.

Chelsea were held to a 1:1 draw at home by Charlton. Marcus Bent, who was once a teammate of Everton Li Tie, scored what may be the proudest goal in his career, and scored a goal for Charlton at the last moment. The score was restored and the team drew with the powerful Chelsea away from home.

Ancelotti was very dissatisfied with the process of the game at the post-match press conference. He believed that the referee's enforcement was soft and was suspected of condoning Charlton. The latter made big moves throughout the game, but the referee did not. Giving enough warning, but treating Chelsea players instead,

Cannavaro received a yellow card and will miss the next league game. Carvalho received two yellow cards in a row and was sent off with a red card, which also led to Chelsea's equalizer at the last moment.

Manchester City relied on the goals of Campany and Ibrahimovic to defeat Bolton 0:2 in the away game and once again defended the fourth position in the Premier League; while Arsenal lost to Everton in the away game, Moyes' team relied on Cardiff Hill's goal beat Arsenal.

Droylsden played an away game against Middlesbrough. They took the lead twice and were equalized twice. In the end, with Dzeko's powerful volley at the critical moment, Droylsden scored 3 points. And once again overtook Arsenal.

After the end of this round of war, taking advantage of Liverpool's recent consecutive defeats, they overtook Liverpool and ranked second in the Premier League with 57 points, only 1 point less than the Premier League leader Chelsea, while Liverpool fell to third place with 56 points. Manchester City ranks 4th with 53 points, and Manchester United ranks 5th with 51 points!

Judging from the points gap, the competition in the Premier League this season is particularly fierce. After 23 rounds, Chelsea, Liverpool and the three favorites are only 1 point behind each other. Manchester United and Manchester City are not far behind. They always bite. If you refuse to let go, there is a possibility of reversal at any time.

With such a fierce competition, looking at the four major European leagues today, Barcelona is leading the way in La Liga. Real Madrid, Valencia and other teams are difficult to shake its top position. This is also believed by many experts that the La Liga champion this season has already Losing the suspense, Barcelona will win the championship for the second consecutive year.

Serie A is a battle between Juventus and AC Milan. However, judging from the situation, Juventus has a greater chance. As for Inter Milan and Roma, they are obviously unable to pose a threat to the Holy Alliance. They are already far away. Behind these two teams.

Bayern in the Bundesliga is challenged by Werder Bremen. Hamburg performed strongly in Xiao Yu's previous life because of acquiring Van der Vaart, but now the Dutch golden boy has moved to Manchester City and performed well. Hamburg has stopped because of this, and Bayern is in The lead in the league has also been maintained.

However, compared with other major leagues, the Premier League's championship situation is undoubtedly the most intense. The top 5 teams in the league all perform strongly, and the points difference between them is very close. It is possible in any game. This led to a reversal of the situation, which made fans all over the world focus on the Premier League.

At the same time, the Premier League has also decided to further strengthen overseas commercial promotion!

…………………… Regarding the overseas commercial promotion of the Premier League, it is no longer a secret. In the past, there was the idea of ​​​​the 39th round of the overseas league proposed by David Dunn and others, randomly drawing teams and traveling outside the UK. The 39th round of the league will be held in this place, and the points from this league will be counted in the league standings.

This idea is undoubtedly very tempting, but giants including Manchester United and Chelsea support its business operations and reject the competitive factors behind it. The reason is very simple. Who dares to say that the draw must be due to luck? Even if it's all luck, well, what if the draw in the 39th round is not good and the championship is lost and a season's hard work is wasted?

Looking at it from another perspective, if the championship cannot be determined in the 39th round of the league, the appeal will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

In addition, both FIFA and UEFA have strongly opposed the Premier League's 39 overseas rounds, believing that it will affect FIFA's game arrangements and waste people and money, which makes the Premier League have to re-examine this status quo.

After a series of negotiations and operations, the Premier League decided to follow the example of the NBA and conduct pre-season games overseas. It has also initially decided to conduct overseas pre-season games in four continents: Asia, North America, Oceania and Africa. Global commercial marketing has added fuel to the fire, and this is also known as an overall marketing strategy for the Premier League team.

Judging from the current feedback, as the competition in the Premier League has intensified in the past two seasons, with the gathering and rapid rise of big-name teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City, etc., the overall value of the Premier League has also risen with the tide. The competition has paid considerable attention to it, especially with the World Cup fever this summer.

After seeing the popularity of the Audi Cup in the United States last year, the Premier League focused its pre-season games on the United States and Asia. In addition, the Premier League will also negotiate with the Football Association to see if it can combine the League Cup and FA Cup finals. Arranging to be played outside the UK, especially the FA Cup final, is after all the season is over and the team does not have any worries about traveling long distances, and it can also rekindle fans' attention to the event. , the team attaches great importance to this event.

If feasible, it is likely to be this one. After all, there is still half a year left before the FA Cup final, which is completely sufficient to prepare. In addition, many sponsors have expressed interest in overseas FA Cup finals. For example, Japan has Many companies are interested in sponsoring this event, and Japan also has rich experience in organizing events.

Helping the Premier League promote the Premier League is the responsibility of all Premier League teams and they are bound to do so. Xiao Yu even put forward many of his own suggestions and ideas.

After all, if the image of the Premier League improves, the price of overseas copyrights will also increase, and each club will be able to get more money. Broadcasting fee sharing has always been the bulk of the Premier League team's income, and no one dares to ignore it.

At the latest Premier League Boss Summit, the bosses of 20 Premier League teams unanimously decided to support overseas preseason games. The specific schedule and arrangements will not be decided until the summer. However, as the core forces of the Premier League, Manchester United, Liverpool Teams such as Chelsea and Chelsea will undoubtedly be prioritized.

As for quasi-relegated teams like Black Cats Sunderland, this overseas competition no longer means much to them.

The whole world is paying attention to the upcoming overseas pre-season matches of the Premier League. Although these are just warm-up games, this is the first time that the Premier League teams have participated in an overall trip. This shows the determination of the Premier League teams to promote the Premier League. .

You know, among the four major European leagues, the Premier League has the highest business development, the highest team income, and the most big-name stars. In recent years, the results of the Premier League teams in the European arena are also obvious to all, especially last year, the Champions League four Two of the top teams are from the Premier League, and the final winner was also from the Premier League.

Competition in the Premier League is fierce this season, and the overall situation of the league is promising. If the Premier League further develops overseas markets, it will inevitably bring more commercial income to the Premier League and further enhance the overall competitiveness of the Premier League.

Of course, this does not mean that everything in the Premier League is good. After all, many teams in the Premier League are currently heavily in debt and operating in dismal conditions, especially bank loans. This is also the focus of further attacks by the Premier League.

As Xiao Yu outlined before, as long as it proceeds step by step, any club in the Premier League has every opportunity to be responsible for its own profits and losses, and it is entirely possible to buy big-name stars, because even the bottom team in the Premier League can steadily earn more than 30 million every season. The income of pounds is unimaginable in other leagues.

"The new Premier League overseas pre-season will be in the form of a cup competition. For example, Japan has decided to sign a contract with us. We will randomly draw 4 teams to Japan for a round-robin cup competition called the Premier League Asia Cup. This year it is The first one will continue to be organized every year in the future, and other places will use other names, such as the Premier League North American Competition, etc. " Baidu Sister-in-law @Ban (.* Fu) Sheng - Red Rebels

At the press conference, Premier League Chairman Scudemore outlined the blueprint for the event launched by the Premier League to the hundreds of reporters present, as well as expectations and gains.

"We have reason to believe that these games will have a positive impact on the overseas promotion of the Premier League, but in addition, we will also further strengthen the development of the European market and the internal improvement of the Premier League. To this end, we will launch a series of policies To ensure the good operation of the club.”

These include the further improvement of the review details for acquiring Premier League clubs, as well as a series of relevant regulations on club liabilities and other issues. These are decisions made by the Premier League to protect Premier League clubs.

"Yes, our restrictions are indeed very strict and may scare away many potential investors, but we have reason to believe that after a series of improvements, the Premier League will become more competitive than ever before, so we It can be seen that in the past two years after the reform, the competition in the Premier League has become more and more fierce, not only the championship, the top four in the league, European competition qualifications, relegation battles, etc., these are all positive responses, and we will continue to persist. Get down!"

Scudmore's words have also been widely recognized by the media. The influence of the Premier League has indeed spread quite quickly in the past two years. After all, competition has become fierce, technical and tactical levels have improved, there are more big-name stars, and European war results have also improved. These This has caused the Premier League to rise with the tide.

Only people within the Premier League will understand that many of these are based on a series of proposals made by Xiao Yu, including overseas pre-season games, acquisitions and debt reviews, etc.

Of course, as the driving force behind the Premier League reform, Xiao Yu cannot ignore his own business development. The first thing to bear the brunt is the adjustment from sponsors.
