Chapter 9 Blockbuster Transfers(1/2)
Although the transfer window has not officially opened, the transfer actions of various clubs have begun.
In the summer, in addition to the news of the Federation Cup, the most popular thing is the transfer rumors.
Kaka confirmed to transfer to Real Madrid, which is just one of the most important ones.
In order to defeat Barcelona's arrogance of winning the triple crown, Real Madrid announced the introduction of Kaka.
But their actions are not over yet.
Just how can Kaka compete with Barcelona's Dream Team Three?
Soon Real Madrid announced another shocking news - Manchester United's top star Cristiano Ronaldo will transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid for £80 million
The farce of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer that had been in trouble for a whole year finally came to an end.
Real Madrid robs love from Manchester United for 80 million pounds
Eighty million pounds
This transfer fee figure is exactly the same as when Rong Guang transferred to Manchester City from Bayern Munich a year ago
If the transfer fees are all in pounds, then Cristiano Ronaldo will tie for the most expensive player in the world with Glory.
But if you remember it in the euro... because the pound has continued to depreciate over the past year, the 80 million pounds are only equivalent to 94 million euros... 10 million euros less than the 104 million euros in the original 104 million euros.
If it is based on euros, then Glory is still the most expensive player in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo surpasses Zidane and ranks first in the world.
The news of two consecutive heavyweight transfers has completely aroused the attention of the media and fans.
Real Madrid is really terrible this season. It actually introduced two world-class players in one go.
When Kaka transferred to Real Madrid for 65 million euros, many people found it terrible. Unexpectedly, another Cristiano Ronaldo, who had 94 million euros, came to contact the glory of 100 million euros last year...
The transfer market today is really incomprehensible - while talking about the European football team being deeply impressed by the subprime mortgage crisis, the club's revenue has dropped sharply, and the players' value has shrunk. On the other hand, there have been news about such terrible large-scale transfer transactions one after another...
The most depressing one is probably Barcelona.
Barcelona had won the triple crown, which was a great result, but before they were happy for a month, the media was squeezed out from the front page headlines by the overwhelming news that Real Madrid had introduced Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo...
Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid is also a heavy blow to Manchester United. Although he brought 94 million euros to Manchester United's club, Ferguson could not buy a player of the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo with this money.
But why did Manchester United still sell the Portuguese?
On the one hand, the offer price of Real Madrid is too high, second only to Rongguang's transfer fee, which is difficult for even Ferguson to refuse.
On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo insisted on going to Real Madrid. Ferguson once talked to him, but it was useless.
The forced melon is not sweet, so the Portuguese continues to stay at Manchester United, and he is also in Cao's camp and is in Han. Ferguson understands this very well, so he did not force Cristiano Ronaldo, but asked him to go to the team he wanted to go to and wish him good luck.
The two sides broke up peacefully.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United, and some media also commented that he was afraid of glory...
"...The Portuguese knows very well that if he continues to stay in Manchester United, as long as Manchester City still has Rong, he will still be his defeated player. In the same city, Cristiano Ronaldo always lives in the shadow of Rong. Only when he jumps out of the Premier League and goes to Real Madrid can he have a way out... So he chose to leave Manchester United. Although this makes people feel that he is a head-on confrontation with Rong, in Real Madrid, he can be the well-deserved number one star...
This evaluation naturally made Cristiano Ronaldo very unhappy, and his agent Mendes came forward to criticize this statement.
"He (Cristiano Ronaldo) is never afraid of any challenges. If there is a glory in the Premier League, then he went to Real Madrid, and Messi in La Liga... He likes challenges, and went to Real Madrid just because he liked Real Madrid since he was a child. Real Madrid can also give him more...
When Kaka transferred to Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo also left Manchester United and turned to Real Madrid, everyone wanted to hear Glory's evaluation of these two things.
But they had a problem - this summer, after Glory ended his trip to China, no one knew where he was...
He seemed to have disappeared from the earth. When all the lively transfer rumors were in full swing, he was completely out of the matter, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
A reporter called Debola, hoping to interview Rongguang. Debola's reply was all about Rongguang's inconvenience now.
A reporter asked Debola where Rongguang was and what she did, and Debola's answer was beyond words.
This made the reporters helpless.
With his glorious temper, if he is unwilling to accept an interview, no one can catch him.
Since Rongguang did not show up on his own initiative, the reporter went to find him.
Where will the glory be?
They eventually targeted the training camp on Mallorca.
The training camp that Rongguang spent a huge amount of money to build was silent after the media exposed it.
Even the news of the construction was not seen in the media.
Such a low-key place was really ignored by the media at the beginning.
But when the reporters thought about the fact that Rong Guang was constantly practicing for himself before he was injured, they had such a guess - would he be there?
A Spanish reporter got to the moon first and went to find out.
As a result, when they found the training camp, they found that the door was closed and no one was in and out.
They stayed there for two days, and the door never opened...
It seems that glory doesn't look like it is here...
That's strange, where will glory go?
A group of people couldn't figure it out.
※※※
The European transfer market is in full swing, and Manchester City, as a club with a wealthy and no shortage of money, is naturally not willing to fall behind.
Although there are no heavyweight transfers, transfer activities are also frequent.
Not long after the league ended, Benitez finalized Gareth Barry's transfer.
That's right, it was Gareth Barry who spoke out to provoke him before Glory's first Premier League game. He finally stayed at Aston Villa last season, but O'Neal promised him that he would stay for one more season at most.
But after a season, Liverpool has lost interest in him.
Benitez actually took a fancy to Barry's ability to balance in the midfield, especially defense.
So he was taken to his command.
As for the grudge between him and Glory...
Rongguang probably forgot about this opponent who once said he wanted to say hello to him.
It must be a bit embarrassing to see Luang again, but in the face of generous treatment, such a little embarrassment is not a problem.
So Barry finally came to Manchester City.
Besides, the money you earn at Manchester City is not only better than that at Aston Villado, but also has the opportunity to participate in the Champions League, why not do it?
After buying Barry, Benitez strengthened Manchester City's weak defense line.
Manchester City's defense line was actually very incomplete last season. Mark Hughes had no mature team building ideas at all, and he listened to the club's senior management in the transfer.
If Sun Hai had not performed well in the second half of the season and was the team's main left-back, I'm afraid that it would not be so easy for Manchester City to win the top four in the league.
But even so, Benitez was not satisfied with Sun Hai's performance on the left defense. Sun Hai worked very hard, but he was already thirty years old after all, and Asian players were over thirty years old. His physical fitness was declining very quickly, and it was difficult to adapt to the high-intensity Premier League. In the second half of last season, he really gritted his teeth and persevered. But diligence cannot make up for everything.
If Manchester City still wants to make a difference in the Champions League next season, they will definitely not rely on Sun Hai in left defense. He can be a very good substitute, but he can't play as the main player.
So we have to find a successor for Sun Hai.
Benitez set his sights on Everton's left-back Leiden Barnes.
The left-back can already be regarded as the best English home left-back after Ashley Cole.
He hopes to get the left back.
But there were many difficulties in the transfer negotiations with Everton.
At first, Everton didn't talk to Manchester City at all and refused to accept all offers about Barnes.
After all, if Manchester City digs it, it will not only weaken its own strength, but also enhance its strength.
Moyes regards Manchester City as Everton's direct competitor.
He believes that Manchester City should compete directly with Everton in the next two or three seasons, which means he does not think that Manchester City still has the ability to compete for the championship.
So selling your main defender to Manchester City is a disaster for raising a tiger.
But Manchester City has special skills to convince people.
That is to keep increasing prices and increasing prices
Until the opponent can't stand it.
It's like a person doing business with another person. If the other party doesn't sell, he doesn't do anything to persuade or bargain. He just takes out a stack of money from his bag and pats it on the table, silenced and keeps shooting money.
In the end, the other party was scared.
That's what Everton and Manchester City are like.
Moyes just refused, Manchester City just added money.
Finally, Everton's club senior executives came forward.
Two thousand five million... pounds
Everton executives didn't expect that a mere left-back could buy such a expensive price. Manchester City really touched the good boy of the UK...
To be continued...
