Germany creates negativity in 1000th game

After training in March, a group of major players including Rudiger, Gundogan, Sane, and Brandt have now been welcomed back. Considering the three opponents this month-Ukraine (ranked 30th in the world) ), Poland (23rd) and Colombia (17th) are not that strong. The outside world had expected that the German national team would rebuild confidence and bring hope through a wave of winning streak.

In the end, it was still the familiar taste, and even the familiar score—3 to 3! After an ideal start, the German team, which was experimenting with three central defenders, was foolishly and clumsily conceded 3 goals by the opponent. In the end, it only relied on Haverts, who came off the bench, to score 1 goal to avoid losing in the 1,000th game in team history.

"Stupid defense"

The uncommon big score of 3 to 3 has become the epitome of this German team in the trough in recent years.

Last year, in the final game of the Europa League group stage as a guest in London, the German team led 2-0 and conceded 3 goals in a row within 72 to 83 minutes. Fortunately, Haverts finally caught the low-level error of England goalkeeper Pope Evened 3 to 3.

In the international competition week in October 2020, Loew's German team played two 3-3 scores against Turkey (friendly match) and Switzerland (European League) in just one week.

In that UEFA Europa League, Ukraine and Spain were also in the same group as the German team. At that time, the German team completed a double play against Ukraine and led the standings with one round left. As a result, they lost 6 goals in Seville, forcing Loew to submit his resignation.

After a lapse of two and a half years, the Ukrainian team was played again. The game was given too much meaning beyond competition. This was not only the 1,000th game in the history of the German team. One of the reasons for the German team's disastrous defeat in the World Cup in Qatar, but obviously the Germans will not give up the opportunity to use football to express their position, which is an important part of their football culture. The result is the same as the World Cup opener against Japan. Once they don't put all their minds on football, football will punish them.

This 3-3 score was exactly the same as the second half against England. Flick said: "We started well, took the lead, and the fans were in good spirits. Then we made a personal mistake and conceded the goal." First, Brandt made a mistake in the frontcourt return, which gave Ukraine a long pass to counterattack and equalize. , and then Raum was intercepted by Yarmolenko when he exchanged a pass with Nico Schlotbeck on the left side of the midfield, which eventually led to Rudiger refracting Mudrek's push that was clearly off target into the net. The two conceded goals were only 5 minutes apart. Deja vu? Against Belgium in March, the German team conceded 2 goals in a row within 6 to 9 minutes, and the defense also collapsed all at once.

Kimmich said after the game: "I think we started well and felt pretty good. We took the lead and had one or two other good chances. Then we conceded two stupid goals. One from the long Pass, and the other is a mistake when the attack was launched." In a short period of time, from a 1-0 lead to a 1-2 lag, the German team's offensive strength in the first 15 minutes came to an abrupt end. The situation of encircling the opponent's penalty area and continuing to pass, but it is difficult to form a threatening shot, is similar to the World War I against Japan seven months ago.

Is it really a lack of player ability?

The Ukrainian team seemed passive, but almost every counterattack could be converted into a goal. Before the end of the first half, goalkeeper Trubin helped Dortmund old player Yarmolenko break into the right side of the penalty area with a long pass. Facing the close defense of Schlotbeck, the Ukrainian captain confidently dribbled the ball back and skillfully passed it back with his heel. Right back Temchik, who inserted in time, pushed Raum into the small penalty area and hit the right side of the penalty area. sidelines. Although the goal was not scored, the physical and technical advantages of Yarmolenko and Temchik in one-on-one are shocking. But as long as you are not forgetful, you must still remember the scene in the battle against Japan, when Schloterbeck was forced to blast by Asano Takuma with speed and body at the end of the game and then scored from a small angle. It's also incredible.

An even more outrageous scene happened at the beginning of the second half. Brandt unnecessarily passed back to the penalty area with a large foot from the wing, forcing Gentle to retreat slightly before barely stopping the ball with his right thigh. As a result, the tall Freiburg central defender Losing control slightly, he was immediately intercepted by Dovbeck, and finally allowed Zihankov to score twice easily.

Yes, Ginter, Schlotterbeck or Raum are of course far inferior to Jerome Boateng, Hummels or Lahm at their peak, but these German players who are in their prime Will the defender really be so bad that he can be played by these not top Ukrainian and Japanese players? At least in club games, similar scenes are not common, but it has become commonplace in the German team, which is puzzling. Even Rudiger, the only one who can do it, has never given people enough security in the national team-whether it is playing four backs or a three-back system that is more suitable for him.

Flick does not think that the current group of players is not capable enough. He has repeatedly emphasized that this German team is very strong, and this is definitely not a misjudgment. "I have coached many teams and held other positions, including being an assistant here. What I saw in training is very High level. But the team will lose confidence in their own strength relatively quickly. We need to practice more in this area, and it is best to accumulate bit by bit through victories. Therefore, the road we are going to take together will be It's a little more difficult than normal roads."

The three central defenders gave up halfway in the first try

In the 3 games after the World Cup, the German team has used 3 different formations. When defeating Peru 2-0, Flick switched to double forwards and sacrificed 4222, which was ideal. As a result, facing the much stronger Belgium, this formation completely lost the midfield, so Flick decisively changed to 433 in the middle of the first half. After more than two months of deliberation, Flick decided to play three central defenders in this international competition week.

In this game, in the first half, Rudiger, Gentle and Schlotterbeck formed a three-center back from right to left. Rudiger switched to the left after half-time, as Klostermann replaced Schlotterbeck. But shortly after the score became 1 to 3, Flick changed the four backs through substitutions, allowing Klostermann to be the right back.

Asked after the game whether this meant the trial of the three central defenders ended in failure, Flick gave a negative answer, "Focus on the overall situation, we have a plan, and we will continue to implement it. This is a matter of inertia and requires competition. We will work hard for it. For things that are not done well, we will clearly point out and train."

It is a normal development process to find problems and correct them in the experiment. But for the German team, which has conducted too many experiments in the past few years and found too many problems but has not been able to cure them, is there really time and capital to continue trial and error?

In fact, Loew had changed to three central defenders in the European Cup two years ago, but the results showed that adding a central defender, or even playing conservatively overall, could not fundamentally improve the German team's defensive quality. The premise for Flick to play three central defenders is obviously that he does not intend to give up his consistent pursuit of ball possession advantage and scene suppression, at least when facing opponents like Ukraine who are not as strong as himself. As a result, in the process of transitioning from offense to defense, the mutual coordination of players in the new system completely failed.

How to give players trust?

In addition to the three central defenders, Flick's other major adjustment in this game is to place Kimmich in the 8th position, and it is Goretzka, the real "No. 8", who is responsible for the delay in the midfield. But the facts prove once again that the magnetic card with strong forward desire is not suitable for this position.

His brightest moment of the game was precisely when he pressed up near the top of the arc in the penalty area. After receiving a cross from Schloterbeck, his right-footed shot will miss the right post.

Flick emphasized the need to give players trust, but 캡도메인 pointed out that his method of giving trust is questionable. Just like before the World Cup, the way he gave Timo Werner absolute trust was not to design a more suitable frontcourt position for him, but to nail him to the center position of 4231. This is very important for Werner and the team It's all just hurt. Now let Goretzka play the 6th position, the situation is similar.

In fact, in the previous game against Belgium, Kimmich and Goretzka started together, and Kimmich was still behind. It was not until Emre Can replaced Goretzka in the 32nd minute that Kimmich changed to play. No. 8.

When playing against Peru, Kimmich partnered with Emre Can in the starting double midfielder, and Can was also dragged behind. Recently, German football has come to a new consensus: Compared with the 6th position, Kimmich's characteristics are more suitable for a little forward, especially considering that his offensive role is obviously greater than that of serving as a defensive barrier. So both Bayern and the national team are considering equipping Kimmich with a No. 6 that is more defensive.

Emre Can performed well in the two games in March, which initially proved his value as a "Kimmich bodyguard", but he did not get a chance to play in this game. In the state of having to attack on the last half hour, Flick simply replaced Goretzka with Musiala, without a full-time defensive No. 6.

In the next game in Poland, Flick may rearrange Emre Can as a defensive barrier. But apart from Emre Can, Flick has no other No. 6 of the same type. For candidates like Andrish or Rani Khedira, he has been turning a blind eye, not even giving a chance to try.

When the so-called trust has not been rewarded, and when the positive changes expected by Flick and the outside world have not appeared for a long time, self-doubt within the German team will naturally continue to grow, and it will become increasingly difficult for players to transplant the excellent state and confidence in the club. In the national team, I even feel afraid of playing for the national team.

"Kicker" clearly pointed out in the post-match comments that Flick must quickly find a solution and produce results, preferably in the game against Poland on Friday and next Tuesday against Colombia. Otherwise, more and more people will lose confidence in Flick's prospects of turning things around in the European Cup. In fact, this passage has been said tactfully enough to give Flick face.

Flick also admitted that the optimism was fading, with the Euros on home soil just a year away, "but many of you also experienced the atmosphere in March 2006 after losing 4-1 away to Italy. extremely negative.

But in the end, it turned into a summer fairytale. We are a little further away from the big game, and we know there is still a lot of work to do. I believe in the team, but it's better to win games. "

Mbappe sees no progress in PSG

A number of European media reported last night that Mbappe told Paris Saint-Germain that he would not renew his contract. PSG is very dissatisfied with Mbappe's statement.

On Tuesday, Mbappe sent a statement to Agence France-Presse, explaining, "I have never discussed any issue with Paris Saint-Germain regarding the renewal of the contract. On July 15, 2022, I have already informed the management At the same time, I will not renew my contract after it expires in 2024. I am sending this letter only to confirm this decision that I have communicated before."

In addition, Mbappe's team also issued a statement on this, "Mbappe did not request to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, he just confirmed to the club that he will not activate the option to renew his contract for one year. Mbappe completed it in May last year. The contract was renewed, and on July 15 last year, the management had already been informed of this decision. The letter sent to the club this time is just to confirm what has been verbally negotiated before."

"Mbappe and his team members confirmed that there will be no discussions with the club on this point during the new season. We regret that the content of this letter was disseminated by the media. The sole purpose of doing so is to damage the player's image and damage our Dialogue with the club."

However, according to 캡사이트's analysis, Mbappe still hopes to join Real Madrid this summer. Benzema previously announced his departure from the team, which allowed Mbappe to dispel a lot of doubts.

Mbappe had been longing for Real Madrid before, but he did not choose to join at the most suitable time. One of the reasons was tactical positioning. Haaland did not choose Real Madrid because of the same consideration. With Benzema going to Saudi Arabia, Mbappe believes that now is a good opportunity to join Real Madrid. It was also reported before that Mbappe had apologized to Real Madrid chairman Florentino for his actions last year, which is also conducive to the realization of Mbappe's transfer wish.

From the perspective of its own development, Ligue 1 lacks competitiveness, and it is difficult for PSG to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. This situation makes Mbappe feel that it is difficult for him to stay in PSG to further improve at the competitive level.

Mbappe was also unhappy with the way PSG treated some players. When players such as Verratti and Cavani wanted to leave the team, PSG resolutely refused to let them go, which aroused concerns from Mbappe's team. Mbappe believes his time at PSG is over and wants to seek a new challenge.

The French media "Parisian" stated that Harland's performance in the 2022-23 season had a considerable impact on Mbappe. Haaland joined Manchester City last summer and became the Premier League Golden Boot in the past season, while setting a new Premier League scoring record in a single season.

Haaland won the treble with Manchester City, coupled with his super individual performance, he is now one of the favorites in the Ballon d'Or. Although Mbappe performed well in the World Cup, he failed to help the team win the championship and lost competitiveness in terms of team honor. "Parisian" stated that Mbappe believes that it is difficult to get his favorite trophy in PSG, regardless of team honor or personal honor.

In the face of rumors, Mbappe said through his personal social media account, "I have already said that I will continue to play for Paris Saint-Germain next season. I am very happy here." The possibility of leaving the team this summer does not seem to have diminished much. It is reported that PSG does not want to let Mbappe leave the team for free when the contract expires next summer. If Mbappe is determined to leave, PSG is more inclined to sell him this summer.
Arsenal usher in biggest game of the season with three straight draws

According to CAB도메인 statistics, Southampton became the first team in the history of the Premier League to start the game at the bottom, but was able to score 3 goals or more against the top team at the start of the game.

It is obviously a disgraceful statistic. This is the league, and the ranking at the bottom of the league for more than 30 rounds shows that the level of this team is very poor, the problem is very big, and the continuity of the state is not good, but this is such a team. Actually scored 3 goals! Moreover, Arsenal lost points against the relegation team in two consecutive games, which is simply incomprehensible.

Although Arsenal eventually equalized, it felt like it was 2 points lost instead of 1 earned...

Briefly describe your thoughts on the game:

In the end, Arsenal scored two goals in a row, which made people feel a little relieved. But obviously it wasn't a result and overall performance to celebrate.

Southampton first lost Conte's salary, and then caused Arteta huge troubles... The game against Manchester City imagined by Arsenal fans may even become a wishful joke now. It is true that mathematically speaking, Arsenal still have a chance and still have to fight, but the operations in the last three games have really caused strong discomfort to the fans.

Leading by 2 goals in two consecutive games was equalized, a big gift was given in 1 minute at home, and the last draw was the last! 1 point is indeed precious, but this performance is no matter what the Arsenal fans watching the game. That's all.

Everyone knows that Southampton will focus on a defensive counterattack in the second half, while Arsenal will besiege with all their strength. How to grasp the rhythm and stifle the opponent's offensive and defensive transition will be the key. It is even more desperate to replace the midfielder with striker Trossard in 56 minutes signal of.

But judging from the actual effect, Arteta really doesn't have many options other than constantly changing forwards to show his willingness to attack. Sometimes this is not like a conventional tactical arrangement. Could it be that he will play several times at every turn in the Champions League next season? Is a striker attacking, this is still against Southampton! You have to have a routine to deal with falling behind.

Not to mention the stubbornness of the players, there is no way for Xhaka to be sick and not play, but Vieira in the starting lineup is self-inflicted... The introduction of Jorginho is to compete for the championship, and it is to let him use his experience Yes, Vieira is still used at this time. I really don't believe that Jorginho is worse than the current Vieira. This game is just lacking a midfield commander.

And Arsenal's rhythm today is really bad, the offense is scattered, lack of vitality, and psychological adjustment is not good. It is obvious that they have not recovered from the previous two consecutive draws. They started to panic from the first minute of the game, which is even more incomprehensible The most important thing is that sometimes they are not as determined as the Saints when dealing with 50-50 shots. I don't want to mention the word "championship" because I really don't see that attitude. In the end, if you can't beat Manchester City, it's due to your strength, but if you can't beat Southampton, it's surrenderism!

The absence of Saliba obviously has a great impact. In fact, the absence of Saliba does not only affect defense. The tacit understanding and characteristics of Saliba and Gabe are very good. There is a central defender with strong mobility and recovery ability like Saliba. With Gabe by his side, he can attack with peace of mind and play the attributes of a central defender. The entire Arsenal's defense line can also advance, Thomas does not have to retreat so deep to catch the ball, and even Ben White can give Saka more on the right. More support, but Holding obviously can't do this.

You can't be too harsh on Holding, his frontal defense and air defense capabilities are pretty decent, but he can't play very complex tactical roles, and he can't help Gabe, so we see Gabe often loses position, and the entire defense is in trouble. I feel flustered... This rhythm has spread from the backcourt to the frontcourt, plus Xhaka is not there, Vieira has not integrated into Arsenal and the Premier League at all, and the second half is a temporary formation. Worst ever...

Yes, Arsenal were a bit unlucky to have a few shots blocked by Southampton, but that's not worth mentioning because you let Southampton score 3 goals away, which is unforgivable!

According to CAB도메인 statistics, Arsenal have only kept zero seals in 3 home games in the Premier League this season. In the league, only Southampton has fewer home seals (1 time) than the Gunners.

In addition, Arsenal have conceded 21 goals in home games in the Premier League this season. Only two teams have conceded more goals at home than the Gunners: Leeds United and Southampton (both 30 goals).

This is the statistical result of the entire season, and the reason for the poor home defense this season cannot be simply attributed to Saliba's injury or Holding's failure. In addition, there must be a fixed plan B...

Ramsdell's huge mistake was really undeserved. It was purely an unforced error. No one stepped forward to press him, but Ramsdell passed a kick to the opponent... Actually, such mistakes have happened before. It's just that it didn't lead to tragedy, but the punishment came at the last moment...Let's learn a lesson.

Erdegaard and other teammates came up to comfort Ramsdale, which is very good, everyone should be united, but the problem now is that the whole team is a bit confused in terms of tactical execution.

The two fastest goals in the Premier League this season have been conceded by Arsenal at home: against Bournemouth in 9 seconds and against Southampton in 27 seconds.

Once can be attributed to luck, twice is not a coincidence, Arsenal is actually good at fast break, so you should know that this kind of mistake is unacceptable. Very embarrassing and heart-wrenching record...

Arsenal only scored 1 point in the last three games: 2-2 Liverpool, 2-2 West Ham, 3-3 Southampton.

Although it is a pity that the lead against Liverpool was equalized, it is acceptable. After all, Liverpool is not a team that is easy to bully at home, and Liverpool also has that ability and foundation. But it is unforgivable to lose points against West Ham and Southampton. These two are relegation teams, and one is leading by 2 goals, and the other is at home...

Losing 6 points in three draws is equivalent to losing two games. I hope this is not the beginning of the collapse!

Arsenal's next 4 game opponents: away to Manchester City, main to Chelsea, away to Newcastle, main to Brighton.

If you look at it optimistically, Arsenal leads Manchester City by 5 points in two rounds. In fact, the difference is still widening. No one knows the result of Manchester City's make-up match. Even, if you dare to imagine, you can beat Manchester City away, and the initiative for the championship is still in Arsenal's hands...

But it doesn’t make sense to count this. With the recent state of the team going to the Etihad Stadium, I’m afraid no one has a clue... I hope the underdogs will win and the heat will die...

Pessimistically speaking, Arsenal may even fall out of the championship group after the next 4 games... It depends on how the team responds!

CAB도메인 statistics, Walcott has scored 39 Premier League goals at the Emirates Stadium, only Van Persie (46 goals), Aubameyang (43 goals) and Giroud (40 goals) than Walcott at the Emirates Stadium Score more Premier League goals.

And Walcott seems to have scored twice at the Emirates Stadium... Walcott's movement and shooting of the ball are a bit peak style, the timing of acceleration and explosive power are very good. Although Gabe is 10 years younger, But it couldn't keep up at all, and of course the ball shouldn't have allowed Gabe to match Walcott's speed.

Walcott didn't celebrate after scoring, Arsenal's goal will respect him, each is his master, there is nothing to say.

The good news is that after this game, Arsenal can ensure that they beat Tottenham in the Premier League this season, which is the first time since the 2015-16 season! That was also Arteta's last season as a player.

It's been a long time, St. Tottenham's Day.

The result of the competition was disappointing, but how should the festival be spent, after all, it is the first time in many years! Being able to step on the deadly enemy and basically ensure the qualification for the Champions League, if you are content and happy, there will be no dissatisfaction this season.

In fact, the most painful thing is to see hope and then smash it with your own hands...

Arsenal legend Vieira, Henry and Campbell were all on hand to watch the Gunners' 3-3 draw with Southampton.

I hope they will go home more often and give these players some advice.
The Manchester City duo received a big gift package at the weekend

In English football on the weekend, the FA Cup and the Premier League were played at the same time. The results of the two important games affected the situation of the Premier League.

Manchester City and Manchester United, the two teams participating in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, both received big gift packages without league tasks. Manchester City's championship and Manchester United's top four became more assured.

Arsenal played against Southampton at home. When the goalkeeper made a serious mistake and the team fell behind by two goals, although they scored two goals tenaciously at the last moment, they hit the crossbar in stoppage time and still could not get all three points. Two games more than Manchester City, only 5 points ahead.

Although Arsenal and Manchester City each have the initiative to compete for the championship, after Arsenal's three consecutive draws, Manchester City can win the championship without needing a complete victory. In the remaining 8 games, as long as Manchester City achieves 7 wins and 1 draw, it is enough to successfully defend the title. After Manchester United, another team has completed the three consecutive Premier League titles.

Of course, Manchester City's home game against Arsenal in the middle of the week is still extremely critical. If Arsenal cannot win, they will lose the initiative to win the championship. Even if they win the rest of the games, whether they can win the championship depends on Manchester City's results. It's just that, having lost 11 consecutive games to Manchester City in the Premier League, is there any way for Arsenal to take all three points?

Tottenham challenged Newcastle in an away game. In just 20 minutes of the opening, they conceded 5 goals in a row. The disastrous result made the Premier League's "top four" situation suddenly clear. Newcastle played one more game than Manchester United, with the same 59 points. The difficulty for the two teams to finally squeeze into the top four has become easier.

Although Brighton only has 49 points and ranks eighth, if it is calculated according to the "lost score list" instead of the standings list, or the maximum number of points each team can get, Brighton should actually be among the teams behind. Compete for four biggest contenders. The referee made many misjudgments, which did have a considerable impact on Brighton.

According to the current standings, if all the remaining games are won, Manchester United will have a maximum of 83 points, Newcastle will have a maximum of 80 points, Brighton will have 76 points, followed by Tottenham and Liverpool, both with 71 points, and Aston Villa will have 71 points. 69 points, Fulham has 66 points, Brentford has 62 points.

From this point of view, CAB주소 believes that it seems that the biggest opponent of Manchester United and Newcastle in the Premier League this season should be Brighton.

However, judging from the schedule, in the remaining 9 games, Brighton will face Manchester United and Newcastle, two rivals for the four, as well as Manchester City and Arsenal, as well as Aston Villa who are in good form. . It is extremely difficult for Brighton to get more points. As long as there are two losses, they can only have a maximum of 70 points.

Therefore, Manchester United and Newcastle can have 4 victories in the remaining games, and the points can reach 71 points, basically ensuring the top four. Tottenham have only won one of the last five rounds of the Premier League, and it happened to be Brighton. It can be said that relying on "self-reliance" has greatly weakened the suspense of the Premier League's "top four". Manchester United and Newcastle really want to "thank you" Tottenham this lovely opponent.

Of course, like Manchester City and Arsenal, Manchester United also face Tottenham in the middle of the week. Judging from the above calculations, the pressure on Manchester United has been greatly reduced. If they can beat Tottenham, Tottenham will almost be declared a failure in the fourth round.

Even if Manchester United loses to their opponents, there are still many games to fight for points. Without the Europa League, Manchester United's schedule is much easier. Ten Hag should no longer have an "excuse" for a dense schedule. Interestingly, which one will be easier, Manchester City, which is in hot form, or Manchester United, which has many problems, competing for the top four?
Manchester City accused of being stripped of Premier League title

Recently, Manchester City has encountered the biggest crisis of the season, and this time the crisis is not only because they lost to Tottenham in the league, but also because of more than 100 financial charges against Premier League officials outside the field, including players And head coach salary issues, team profitability and sustainability issues. Although Manchester City officials have responded to this accusation, they are welcome to investigate them, but this part of the investigation may last for several years. At the same time, the future of Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has become unclear.

Before the incident, Guardiola was considered the most stable of all the Premier League coaches, and there was basically no possibility of a coaching change. He currently has a contract with Manchester City until 2025. During this period, Manchester City will not replace Guardiola.

However, after the alleged incident, Guardiola became a popular candidate for the Premier League coach to dismiss get out of class, second only to Southampton coach Jones, who is currently the last in the league. The reason why such a problem occurs is that Guardiola has previously said: "If I am deceived, I will leave Manchester City the next day."

At present, it is still impossible to confirm that Manchester City has indeed experienced financial problems. The financial allegations that occurred before were only fined 10 million euros, and the consortium behind Manchester City will not let the charges fall easily. They have hired a large number of lawyers. and an actuary to deal with the allegations from the Premier League. However, this still does not solve the problem that Guardiola may dismiss get out of class. What he cares about is not whether Manchester City has financial problems, but whether he has been deceived.

Once Guardiola leaves, Manchester City will encounter a very serious crisis. It is still unknown what will happen to the current group of players, and the future of the team has become unclear. If Guardiola appears in the transfer market, cab사이트 believes that it will cause competition from multiple teams, and they are all wealthy teams. Among them, Paris Saint Germain and Chelsea are the teams most likely to sign Guardiola . However, it still takes time. When Guardiola leaves, there needs to be a clear time point before continuing the subsequent story.

In addition, after Manchester City was accused, former Manchester United coach Mourinho's comments on Manchester City also aroused heated discussions among fans again.

Mourinho, who coached Manchester United in 2017, once said: "Guardiola introduced the Barcelona goalkeeper with the England national team goalkeeper Joe Hart, and then introduced Ederson. In the past few years, the market is going well. Going in this direction, he wants to buy players, no restrictions, no financial fairness, nothing, Guardiola can get him as long as he wants, and it is very difficult for us."
