When he returned to the UK, Manchester United was preparing for the first round of the Premier League.

On the evening of August 13, Beijing time, on Saturday, the 2016-2017 Premier League season officially started. In the opening game, the Blue Fox Leicester City was a guest and promoted to Ma Hull City. As a result, the Blue Fox, who performed well last season, was unexpectedly upset and lost 1:2.

In addition to Leicester City, only Tottenham were considered traditional Premier League teams. As a result, they tied 1:1 with the Toffees at Goodison Park.

Manchester City's first appearance against Sunderland on August 14 attracted great attention because this was Guardiola's debut in the Premier League.

As a result, Blue Moon's performance was not satisfactory at Etihad Stadium. With Aguero's blitz in the fourth minute of the opening and Sunderland player McNair's own goal, he defeated the Black Cats and was lucky to win.

Manchester United's first round of matches was held at 8:30 pm on August 14th, Beijing time and 1:30 noon local time in the UK. At the Dean Court Stadium, the Red Devils defeated the Red Wine Army 3:1 with the goals of Mata, Rooney and Ibrahimovic.

Arsenal and Liverpool, who were playing next, staged a goal battle at the Emirates Stadium. As a result, when Walcott missed a penalty, Arsenal finally lost 3:4, and Uncle Zha won.

In the final match of the first round, Chelsea, who was at Stamford Bridge, defeated the Hammers West Ham United 2:1.

At the end of the first round, Manchester United topped the top scorer with a goal difference.

A week later, in the first game of the second round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Saints Southampton at the Dream Theater. Ibrahimovic performed another excellent performance, scoring twice, helping Manchester United beat the Saints 4-0.

At 0:00 am on August 26, Beijing time (18:00 pm on August 25, Central European Time), the 2016-2017 Champions League group stage draw and the 2015-2016 European Best Player Selection Award Ceremony will be held at the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco. This summer, the European Cup led the Portuguese team to win the first European Cup in history, defeating Rooney and Griezmann and winning the European Best Player last season.

It is worth mentioning that this is the second time that Ronaldo won this honor in his career. The last time was in 2014. At that time, Ronaldo won the UEFA Golden Ball Award for the first time with his two championship trophys, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. This time he won the UEFA Golden Ball Award again, and Ronaldo also tied with Messi, tied for becoming the player with the most awards since the founding of the award.

In fact, since the establishment of the UEFA Golden Ball Award, Ronaldo has been shortlisted for the top three of the awards for six consecutive years, and is also the only player in history to enter the top three candidates in every selection.

This time, the other two opponents are Manchester United's Wien Rooney and Atletico Madrid's Griezmann.

The British media seemed very dissatisfied with Rooney's final defeat under Rooney. Because in their opinion, in the past season, Rooney had a complete victory over Rooney in team honors. The Portuguese's club honor was blank and he only won one European Cup, but Rooney led Manchester United to win an unprecedented senior four championship, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup!

Even with personal data, Rooney is not at a disadvantage. In terms of league goals, Rooney is at a disadvantage because she plays significantly lower than Rooney's, but in the direct competition in the Champions League, Rooney beat Rooney with 17 goals and won the Champions League Golden Boot.

However, although the British people verbally refused to admit defeat, they also knew very well that the results of the England national team dragged down Rooney, causing the little fat man to miss the UEFA best player last season.

If England can go a little further in the knockout round, such as entering the quarterfinals, I am afraid that the best player of the season will fall on Rooney without any suspense.

However, such facts made it difficult for the arrogant British to speak of, so they could only be stubborn and expressed dissatisfaction with the result.

Rooney was also very frustrated about losing to Ronaldo again, because in the head-on battle between the two sides, that is, in the Champions League final, he completely defeated Ronaldo. However, because of Hodgson's stubborn old guy, England was eliminated early in the European Cup, which also led to his defeat at Ronaldo today.

What attracted more attention from the world is the next Champions League group draw.

After deciding the last 10 participating teams this week, the top 32 were divided into four levels according to the rules and would fall into each group in the draw.

According to the newly issued group stage draw rules by UEFA last year, the league champions of the top seven European countries with points will automatically be listed as seeds in the group stage and will be drawn in group draws. The defending Champions League champion will also be listed as seeds, and the UEFA Cup champion will participate in the Champions League play-offs. If a team wins the double championship of the Champions League and domestic league championships, the league champions of the country with points 8 will become seeds.

In the Champions League final last season, Manchester United defeated Real Madrid to win the championship, and before that, they had already won the Premier League championship. Therefore, the seeds in the Champions League group stage this season are the top eight league championships in UEFA points. That is, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Moscow CSKA and Dynamo Kiev became seeds. The remaining 24 teams will be ranked second to fourth levels according to their respective UEFA points.

In the draw, clubs in the same league will automatically avoid in the group stage, and for well-known reasons, clubs in Russia and Ukraine will not be divided into the same group.

Under such rules, giant teams such as Real Madrid and Arsenal were forced to fall into the second level. This also greatly increased the possibility of a death group.

In fact, judging from the lineup of the second-tier team, it is not inferior to the first-tier seed team. The second-tier team lineup consists of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Dortmund, Arsenal, Sevilla, Porto, Naples, Leverkusen and other teams, is luxurious.

The eight teams in the third division are Basel, Tottenham Hotspur, Lyon, Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Bruges, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Celtics.

The fourth-tier eight teams include Monaco, Besiktas, Warsaw Legion, Dynamo Zagreb, Ludogorez, Copenhagen, Rostov and Premier League runner-up Leicester City.

Because Leicester City has not participated in European competitions for many years, although they rank second in the Premier League, UEFA's points are very low and they are included in the fourth tier team.

Manchester City, which had already reached the top ten, missed the Champions League this season because it was ranked fifth in the Premier League and was forced to lead the team to play in the UEFA Cup.

UEFA Macheti serves as the lottery host.

Because the Champions League final this season will be held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, Liverpool's top scorer in history and Welsh football legend Ian Rush is the image ambassador of the 2016-2017 Champions League, and Ian Rush returns the Big Ear Cup to UEFA.

Dutch football legend Seedorf served as the draw guest of the seed team.

Barcelona was first drawn and ranked in Group C; Manchester United was ranked in Group G, Dynamo Kiev was ranked in Group F, Bayern D, Benfica was ranked in Group B, CSKA Moscow was ranked in Group E, Juventus was ranked in Group H, and Paris Saint-Germain was ranked in Group A.

The draw guests of the second team are former Arsenal superstar Henry Porto enters Group G, while Sevilla enters Group H where Juventus is; Real Madrid enters Group F and meets Dinar Kiev; Henry draws Arsenal and Ian Rush draws Group A, which means the Gunners enters Group A where Paris Saint-Germain is; then Napoli enters Group B, Leverkusen is in Group E, Atletico Madrid enters Group D and then meets Bayern, Dortmund enters Group C, and the same group as Barcelona.

The draw guest in the third gear is the famous Dutch center Van Nisstruy. Lyon was first drawn in Group H. Then Sporting Lisbon entered Group F where Real Madrid, Kiev, Dinamo, Borussia Mönchengladbach entered Group B. Tottenham was assigned to Group E. Eindhoven entered Group D. Belgian giants Bruges were assigned to Group G where Manchester United were located, Basel entered Group A, and Celtics were assigned to Group C.

The fourth draw guest is the famous Brazilian left-back Robert Carlos. Bulgarian giant Ludogorez was drawn first, and Ian Rush drew the letter A, which means Ludogorez will enter Group A; Copenhagen enters Group G where Manchester United is located, and the Red Devils draw a good draw; Warsaw Legia enters Group F where Real Madrid is located, and Monaco enters Group E with relatively average strength, Dynamo Zagreb of Croatia enters Group H, and they will face Juventus, Sevilla and Lyon; Russian Premier League runner-up Rostov enters Group D, facing Bayern and Atletico Madrid; Besiktas enters Group B, and Leicester City enters Group C, the Blue Foxes are really sad, with the same group as Barcelona, ​​Dortmund and Celtics, and the hope of qualifying is very slim.

Ye Su was very satisfied with this draw result. Because the three opponents Porto, Bruges and Copenhagen are all very average, Manchester United can advance to the knockout stage without spending too much effort. This is very beneficial for Manchester United to spend more energy in the league in the first half of the season, Chelsea, who does not have to be distracted from European competition, and Manchester City, who does not have to spend much energy on the UEFA Cup, to compete for the Premier League standings.

The other three Premier League teams participating in the Champions League are also mixed with the draw results.

Arsenal has drawn a good draw, and they will be relatively relaxed in Group A with Paris Saint-Germain, Basel and Ludogorec.

Tottenham's situation is very average. The strength of CSKA, Leverkusen and Monaco are not too strong, but they are not weak either. The four teams have opportunities to advance, but it is precisely because they are too average in strength that this group can be called the death group.

Of course, the real tragic thing is the Blue Fox, which is difficult for them to qualify under the encirclement of Barcelona and Dortmund.

……………………

After returning from Switzerland, Ye Su continued to lead Manchester United to the Premier League.

In the last Premier League game in August, Manchester United was away from Kingston, and at the Communication Stadium, he defeated Hull City 2-0 with the goals of young players Rashford and Martial, and won three consecutive Premier League season openings.

However, it is not only Manchester United that won three consecutive victories. Conte's Chelsea and Guardiola's Manchester City also achieved excellent results in three consecutive victories. However, Manchester United still relied on the advantage of goal difference to beat Manchester City and Chelsea and ranked first in the standings.

This season, the competition between the three clubs began at the beginning of the season. Whether it was Ye Su, Guardiola, or Conte, they all felt tremendous pressure.

Of course, the ones with greater pressure are Liverpool and Arsenal. In the first three rounds, both of them only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. Arsenal ranked 8th in the Premier League, and Liverpool is in the lower half, ranking only 11th in the Premier League.

Immediately, with the arrival of international match day, the Premier League was temporarily suspended, and national teams from various national teams in Manchester United also rushed to their respective countries to play for the country.

During this period, the Carrington training base was empty, and only a few players such as Ibrahimovic and Phil Jones remained in the team. Ibrahimovic was not called by the Swedish national team because he announced his withdrawal from the national team after the European Cup.

As this international match day comes, the 2016 international football summer transfer window will also be closed. All teams are taking advantage of this last moment to sign ups or clean up players.

The summer transfer window has entered the most tense and intense critical moment.

……………………

"Set a small goal first, for example, I will earn 100 million first!"

Recently, the words Wang Shoufu Wang of Wanda Group became unexpectedly popular in an interview.

Now, with the annual summer transfer window officially closed, the world football has set a "small goal": 110 million euros!

On August 9, Premier League powerhouse Manchester City announced the signing of Pogba and paid Juventus a record 105 million euro transfer fee. Pogba signed a five-year contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2021.

Originally, Pogba's agent first recommended Pogba to Ye Su's Manchester United, but because both Ye Su and Manchester United were obviously not interested in signing Pogba again as a youth training player, Raiola turned to recommend Pogba to Guardiola.

Guardiola, who was eager to buy the top midfielder, hit it off and quickly negotiated transfer conditions with Juventus and Pogba's personal treatment: a weekly salary of 300,000 pounds, a maximum salary for the Premier League!

Before that, Pogba made 178 appearances for Juventus in four seasons, scoring 34 goals and assisting 43 times, helping the Zebras win four Serie A titles, two Italian Cup titles and two Italian Super Cup titles.

This summer, Pogba represented France in the European Cup, and made his debut in all 7 games, with a total of 602 minutes of playing time, scoring 1 goal, helping the Gaul Roosters reach the final, but unfortunately, he lost 0:1 to Portugal to miss the Delaunay Cup.

Pogba's transfer officially announced that football has entered the 100 million era, and it is also an extremely crazy era!
