The Premier League season is coming to an end, even the England Footballer of the Year is out, and it's time for a little summary. Let's not talk about the new acquisition of several dismal new recruits.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Thiago Alcántara</h1>
In going to Shattiago as the Focus of the Reds' acquisition, the overall performance was disappointing. In the absence of Van Dijk, Fabinho had to return from time to time to replace the centre-back position, leaving Thiago's lack of protection in the midfield position, which caused his performance to plummet. The style of the 30-year-old midfielder is also out of place with Liverpool, the Reds midfielder needs physical fitness and efficiency, but Thiago's passing style has not yet been integrated into the team's system. Until the 35th round of the Premier League, Thiago fang scored his first goal of the season, but as an organised midfielder, his assist numbers remain blank. Thiago is a strong midfielder, but he still needs more time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League and the Reds' style of play.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > Gareth Bale</h1>
Aside from a hat-trick against Sheffield United, Bale's year at Tottenham was basically without any highlights. Under Mourinho, Bale lacked playing time and opportunities, and could only play in cup matches and the Europa League. The deal was reportedly the work of Daniel Levy, with Bale not really the attacker Mourinho really wanted to sign; the 31-year-old Welsh star's weekly salary was as high as £300,000 for the team (a figure that was already half shared with Real Madrid). If Mourinho and Tottenham did not use his intentions, then why did they sign him back at that time?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Donny van de Beek</h1>
Van der Beek is also a "mystery" acquisition this season, Manchester United signed him as if he was just to sell face to Ajax's director Van der Sar, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no intention of using Van de Beek, nor does the Dutchman's instruction manual. In this season, Van de Beek has only played 1366 minutes for the team, and he has only 421 minutes of performance time in the Premier League, and even Nemania Matic has played much more than him. Van der Beek has been in a number of different positions this season, but the back is clearly not his best position. The Dutch international midfielder is worth £40 million, which is by no means a cheap signing; what kind of medicine Solskjaer is selling in the gourd, I believe only he knows.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" >willian</h1>
Willian's free agent transfer to Arsenal this season was seen at the beginning of the season as a steady and profitable acquisition; it was both combat effective and able to lead a group of juniors to grow. But the 32-year-old Brazilian winger was like the Blues' "infernal affairs" at Osman, never playing convincingly. Aside from two assists against Fulham in his opening game, William didn't have many memorable games throughout the season; it was more of his wordless "time pauses" and meaningless dribbling. In the whole season, Willian played 37 games for the team, scoring only one goal (or straight to the free throw).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > Nélson Semedo</h1>
Nelson Semedo joined Wolves from Barcelona this season for a transfer fee of almost £30 million, which is seen as an upgraded version of Matt Doherty's position. However, the Portuguese international full-back failed to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League and the style of play that focused on physical confrontation, and it was extremely difficult to attack and defend. In terms of basic full-back requirements such as single defense and supplementary position, he also failed to deliver results, which has repeatedly become a gap in Wolves' defense; if Wolves want to compete for a European position in the coming season, they must find another person in the right-back position.
