August 4th, Manchester United’s last warm-up match before the new season.

This warm-up match will be held at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium.

The opponent is Nottingham Forest, a team from the English Championship.

Chinese fans may be unfamiliar with this team because it is not in the top league now.

Many fans who know this team must have read the football novel "The Godfather of Champions".

In short, Manchester United's last warm-up match, a warm-up match at home, picked a team from the secondary league to play against.

In this game, Lin Kedi will start.

Today is also Lin Kedi’s first time playing at Old Trafford.

All in all, the fans are very excited.

In addition, the opponent is really not very strong.

In the first half, Manchester United already led 3-0.

Link made a pass and shot. The shot was a right-footed volley from outside the penalty area. The pass was an assist for Rashford to score.

Now that you have won a big victory, don't waste any more energy.

So as soon as the second half started, Lin Kedi was substituted.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 5 to 1, which was a pretty good result.

After this game ends, there are only 7 days until the start of the new season.

Manchester United's first league game was on August 11. Their opponent in the first round was Chelsea. It can be said that it was a strong match in the first game.

It's very difficult to fight.

It is also a challenge for this new Manchester United.

But for Manchester United, there is still a challenge, which is to introduce a midfielder before the transfer window closes.

This year's Premier League transfer window is different from the previous closing window on September 1st and 2nd. This year's Premier League transfer window closes at 0:00 on August 9th.

This regulation was approved by the clubs in November 2018. The summer window will officially close at 17:00 on August 8, 2019 (0:00 on August 9, BJ time). After the transfer window closes, Premier League teams can still

Sell ​​or loan players to teams whose transfer window has not yet closed, such as League One and League Two. The transfer window will close at 17:00 on September 2.

In 2017, 14 clubs supported moving the closing date to the day before the start of the season. At that time, Manchester City, Manchester United, Crystal Palace, Watford and Swansea voted against, while Burnley chose to abstain. However, now, it is expected that

11 clubs are opposed to closing the window early, and only 9 are in favor.

In short, the Premier League is now the first league among the five major leagues to close the transfer window.

However, looking at it now, with four days left before the transfer window closes, many Premier League coaches have already publicly expressed their dissatisfaction.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has issued his harshest criticism of the transfer window because it reduced the club's ability to sign Christian Eriksen.

Waiting for players to gain bargaining power in collecting transfer fees, Eriksen seems determined to leave the Premier League and join La Liga.

"I think Daniel Levy and a lot of people realize now that this was a huge mistake," Mauricio said. "I hope we can solve this problem next season. We need to get back to the same way of operating as other European leagues,

Because I think it's very important when you play in the Europa League or the Champions League."

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino had his harshest criticism of the transfer window.

"Champions League teams can cause problems for teams like ours and obviously as a coach I can't be happy, over the last three weeks clubs from Europe can cause problems for your team."

Mauricio added.

Leicester City also appear to be leaning towards extending the deadline. Their manager Brendan Rodgers said last week: "The question is, if you ask yourself 'are we at a disadvantage?' then, of course we are. At the start of the season

At some point, that window closes, but you can still lose your top players to other teams."

Rogers expressed solidarity with Mauricio, "So, I think Mauricio is absolutely right, I think it puts Premier League clubs at a disadvantage, but I still think closing the window is definitely okay, but it has to be consistent with Europe as a whole."

The two managers were the first to speak out against closing the transfer window early.

After the two of them spoke out, Premier League head coaches began to speak out one after another.

Klopp said at the post-match press conference of a warm-up match that he could understand the original intention of the Premier League closing the window early, which was to end transfers before the start of the season. This was originally a good idea, but this approach was not as expected.

The effect is good. Klopp said that he does not care about the closing time of the Premier League. He cares more about synchronizing with other leagues. If it cannot be synchronized, it will be meaningless for the Premier League to close early. He even said bluntly that he hopes someone can

Explain what are the benefits of doing this? I don’t understand the practice of closing the window in advance.

Klopp was also the first Premier League team participating in the Champions League to stand up against the early closure of the Premier League.

But unlike Klopp, Manchester City coach Guardiola clearly expressed his attitude during the interview.

"I think it is necessary to close the transfer window before the start of the season, so that the team can focus on recruiting and training before the start of the season, and then wait until the start of the season to buy new players.

It will take more time to integrate into the team, which is an obvious mistake that he made in many other leagues, but I am happy that it has been corrected in the Premier League."

Chelsea coach Lampard also expressed his views: "We are prohibited from transferring this summer window, but as a member of the Premier League participating in the Champions League, I also want to express our views. The fact is that we support the Premier League's decision

decision."

The coaches of three of the four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League this season have expressed their views, and the only remaining team is Manchester United.

The media reporters will naturally not let him go.

As the most market-oriented team in the entire Premier League, Manchester United will have a media open day event before the start of the season, at which time part of the Carrington base will be opened to the media.

It is also on this day that many media will conduct interviews with players and coaches.

It was said to be a media opening, so something similar to a press conference appeared, and it was longer than an ordinary press conference.

before this press conference.

Ten Hag has not yet thought about what kind of questions reporters will ask at this press conference, because he has only one idea at the moment.

Midfielder, hurry up and get one.

Because after many confrontations, Matt's answer to him was even worse.

Inter Milan said that if they want to use a loan plus a compulsory buyout, the price will not be 65 million euros, but 79 million euros, because Inter Milan also has fiscal year revenue issues to consider.

Both Ten Hag and Matt know that Inter Milan is raising the price, but there is another possibility that Inter Milan does not want to let Brozovic go at all?

After hearing the news, Ten Hag was very sorry.

But there is no way.

In his expectation, it was basically unrealistic for Matic to be the main player.

But now that there are not many candidates, the transfer market is about to close.

So, after hesitating for a while.
