On the afternoon of August 14, the Shanghai women's football team issued an announcement confirming that international player Tang Jiali is about to start a new period of overseas career, joining La Liga women's football team Levantelas Palaz on loan.

In the just-concluded Women's World Cup, Tang Jiali only came off the bench in the second game of her three matches. After the competition, Tang Jiali posted: "Even if the whole world is questioning, you are the best." ”
As for why Tang Jiali did not have a chance to play in the Women's World Cup, "Football News" published an article saying that the Chinese women's football team has developed a full-team defense strategy, although Tang Jiali has certain strength in the offensive end, but there are deficiencies in defense, and there are also deficiencies in physical fitness.
Premier league ： Chelsea sign Kecedo to break the Premier League Transfer record
In the early morning of August 15, Premier League giants Chelsea Club officially announced the official signing of 21-year-old Ecuadorian defender Caicedo. The parties will sign an 8-year contract with a 1-year renewal option.
It is reported that Chelsea will pay Brighton a fixed fee of £100 million for Caicedo, plus a floating fee of £15m.
The £115 million also set a new record for transfer fees in English football, previously held by Caicedo's midfield partner Enzo at Chelsea, who joined Chelsea for €121 million in the winter window.
Caicedo has been a key target for Chelsea and the Blues have been pursuing Caicedo for months, but a move has not been met due to delays in meeting Brighton's asking price.
But last week, Liverpool suddenly joined the bidding war against Caicedo after a bid for Southampton's rising star Lavia was blocked, and Liverpool's £110 million offer has even been accepted by Brighton.
Quite dramatically, Caicedo himself refused to go to Liverpool for a medical examination and told the "Reds" that he only wanted to join Chelsea.
Chelsea also accelerated their bid for Caicedo after the Premier League first round, and eventually signed the long-desired defender for a record transfer fee.
Born in November 2001, Caicedo is a professional midfielder who played 42 games for Brighton last season, starting 39 of them, contributing one goal and one assist.
Manchester United 1-0 Wolves greet A good startIn the early morning of August 15, in the first round of the 2023-2024 Premier League season, Manchester United faced Wolves at Old Trafford, and with Varane's header goal, Manchester United won the new season opener.
Marcus Rashford took risks in the first half, but neither team scored. It wasn't until the 76th minute that Fee sent a pick-and-cross from Wan-Bissaka in the box, and Varane jumped high in front of the goal to score a header that made Manchester United 1-0 Wolves.
In stoppage time, Onana knocked Karadzic down in the box and VAR intervened, but the referee did not award a penalty. In the end, Manchester United started the season 1-0 with Wolves.
Wolves boss Gary O'Neill spoke about Onana's late-stage moves after the game: "I think it was a penalty and the goalkeeper looked like he almost knocked our striker's head off. I think it's a foul, you hit someone so hard, it's a penalty. ”
Wolves had 23 shots on goal in this game, the second most shots on goal at home in the Premier League since statistics began in the 2003-2004 season, after the November 2005 game against Chelsea, who completed 25 shots on goal, although coincidentally it was also Manchester United who won 1-0 at the time.
Manchester United have won seven consecutive Premier League games at home, the team's longest league winning streak since 2017, when United completed an eight-game winning streak at home between May and November.
