727、The smoke of gunpowder in the transfer market(1/2)

Long Shute's behavior of "killing Tony with tears" undoubtedly gave Liverpool fans a reassurance. They no longer had to worry about finding that the team's star and ace captain were poached by other teams after waking up.

Liverpool fans were relieved, but the fans of other teams were not so lucky because the excavators from major giants were already lifted up!

2016 is a big sports year. The holding of the three major events will definitely increase the value of some players - just like J Ronaldo after the 2014 World Cup!

Some people will observe players' performance through the European Cup, America's Cup, and Olympics, while others will take action in advance, such as Arsenal.

As early as the last week of May, Wenger poached midfielder Granit Zachar from Bundesliga Borussia Mönchengladbach for a high price of £45 million, filling Arsenal's long-standing waist-strapped stalemate.

After entering June, the professor spent another 35 million and 17 million, buying German defender Mustafi and Spanish striker Perez respectively.

No one expected that the beginning of summer arms competition... was Arsenal, who never wanted to spend money!

And it’s nearly 100 million when you take action!

This world is definitely not right!

You know, Arsenal is third in the Premier League!

Qualifying for the Champions League for 20 consecutive years, second only to Real Madrid!

But even they who have such excellent results are so eager to sign and strengthen. How can you let Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea rank fifth, sixth, and eighth?

The Premier League giants were immediately furious and red in their eyes. They must not be taken first by Arsenal!

The first thing that came was a large wave of new coaches:

Mourinho and Guardiola have taken over Manchester United and Manchester City respectively, and the two famous coaches will soon perform the world-renowned "Guamu Xiangxi" in Manchester.

Italian coach Conte also confirmed that he will coach Chelsea after the European Cup. He wants to reshape a blue iron army with his own iron fist!

Chelsea may have to wait for the new coach to complete the handover before preparing for signings, but the Manchester two can't wait to start burning money.

Manchester United signed Swedish God Ibrahimovic for free from Paris Saint-Germain, which was poaching people all over the world, and spent 105 million euros to buy back their youth training Pogba from Juventus. These two transfers alone are enough to demonstrate their ambitions to revive!

Of course, they cannot have only two players to sign. Bundesliga MVP Mkhitaryan transferred from Dortmund for 42.5 million euros, and Villarreal defender Eric Bailiz came to report with almost the same value.

With just four players, Manchester United spent nearly 200 million euros!

Manchester City is certainly not willing to fall behind because of the money next door.

You Mourinho introduces Mkhitaryan?

I, Guardiola, bought Mkhitaryan's Dortmund teammate Gundogan for 26 million!

16.5 million cheaper than you!

Buy English local defender Stones for 55 million and become the most expensive defender in the world!

The Brazilian genius star Jesus bought for 32 million yuan. The opponent they defeated was Guardiola's old club Barcelona!

50 million yuan to dig Schalke winger Sane, 18 million yuan to buy Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo, and 18 million yuan to buy Spanish striker Nolito, who performed well in the European Cup...

Before we knew it, Manchester City also burned more than 200 million euros in transfer fees!

And when Italy was eliminated, Conte also joined the money-burning battle:

Signed Marseille God's forward Bashuai with 40 million euros!

41 million welcomes Brazilian defender David Luis!

Buy Leicester City Harness for 36 million, Marklele's successor Kante!

Buy Spanish young defender Marcos Alonso for 30 million!

In the blink of an eye, it was nearly 150 million!

The Premier League giants once again let the whole of Europe see their wealth, and other leagues that received checks have also begun their own procurement plans.

Dortmund in the Bundesliga must be the most tragic team this summer:

Not only were they poached two generals by Manchester United and Manchester City, but they were also poached captain Hummels by Bayern...

The three players received more than 100 million euros in transfer funds, but for Dortmund, this euro could not make up for what they lost!

Losing a central axis at the same time within one month!

Who can still think that you are a giant team?

The Yellow and Black Legion, which was seriously injured, bought six players, including Xuerle, Gotze, Bartra, Dembele, Rhodes and Guerrero, and almost spent all the sales revenue, but everyone knew that their limit was so far...

On the other hand, Bayern only bought two players, Hummels and Sanchez, one in front and one behind, and the confidence and domineering of the giants are undoubtedly revealed.

The transfer market in Serie A is actually as polarized as the Bundesliga. Only Juventus, Inter Milan and Naples spend a lot of money, and the source of everything is of course the Zebra Legion.

The old woman bought the top scorer of rival Naples for 90 million, Little Smoke Gun Higuain, and used 30 million to poach Bosnia and Herzegovina Messi from another competitor, "Red Wolf" Rome, Wang Chu's former roommate Pianic, plus 23 million Piaca and some cheap players, their total spending also exceeded 150 million.

After receiving Higuain's transfer fee, Naples became rich and powerful. They broke it into pieces and bought 7 players who were in their year of playing with their transfer fee. It seemed that the lineup was strengthened...

Inter Milan, acquired by Suning Group, also received a lot of financial support. Players such as Joao Mario of 45 million, Barcelona Bo of 30 million, Candreva of 25 million were all gathered under the command of the Nerazzurri, and the investment of more than 100 million euros also gave fans a glimmer of hope for revival.

As for AC Milan, due to the problems with Brother Li’s capital chain and lacking sufficient industrial support, they had to save money. In order to maintain the operation of the club, they had to sell two Italian main internationals, Balotelli and Salavi. Such a move obviously made fans see no hope.

The La Liga arena is similar:

As the double champion of the King's Cup last season, Barcelona still did not slacken. They signed players such as Umtiti, Cilesen, Andre Gomez, Paco, Lucas Dini, etc., with a total cost of nearly 120 million.

Although Atletico Madrid, which suffered a Waterloo in the Champions League final, did not invest so much, it spent nearly 90 million euros to buy powerful players such as Gaitan, Fosarico, and Gamero.

On the contrary, Real Madrid did not feel any tension at all. In May, Zidane, who became a monk, defeated Atletico Madrid and won the Champions League, but achieved nothing in the league and the King's Cup. However, despite this, they looked indifferent and bought back the team's youth training Morata for only 30 million euros, and then announced that the transfer market this summer was officially closed.

Seeing that the Copa America and European Cup ended one after another, the club did not move anymore. Real Madrid fans could not sit still. They began to offer suggestions to the club's senior management:

"Although we are the Champions League champions, the Chinese say it's easy to play the country, but it's difficult to defend the country. We have to buy some people, right?"

"Although Long Shute cannot buy it, there are still a few players like Harry Kane and Hazard who are tens of millions of dollars, right?"

"Stop the second best, didn't Lewandowski always want to come to Madrid?"

"It really doesn't work, so I can buy a young man like Draxler, Icardi, and so on!"

"We have to show our ambitions to the whole world!"

But no matter how the fans petitioned, Florentino was still unmoved and did not take out a penny.

Not only did he not buy superstars, he cleaned up three players in a row - among which Hesse, who was once known as the "Successor of Raul", even sold his net worth of 25 million euros.

Adding to Cheryshev, who is 7 million and Medland who is 1.5 million, Real Madrid not only did not spend money in this transfer window, but instead made a net profit of 3.5 million euros!

This world must be crazy!

Arsenal, who has always been tense, angrily spent 100 million yuan, but Real Madrid, which has always been rich, has earned 3.5 million yuan!

What about Liverpool?

Although Long Shute is on the other side of the earth, he will receive real-time messages from the club.

Joe Allen, who followed Wales to the semi-finals in the European Cup, was not satisfied with being a substitute here and transferred to Stoke City for £18 million.

Also leaving the team is forward Jordan Ibi. Although Liverpool has adopted a large-scale rotation, as the sixth striker, he still cannot get much opportunity and can only go to Bournemouth for £16 million. I have to say that the English household registration book is still quite valuable...

The 32-year-old central defender Scotter also chose to leave the team. Liverpool did not deliberately make things difficult for the Slovakian iron guard who had contributed 8 and a half seasons of youth to the team. He only charged a symbolic transfer fee of 5 million euros from the Turkish Super League giant Fernebache, and let the "prison breaker" go.

Foreign youth training players such as Brad Smith and Pedro Zi Rivera, who were previously considered to have no great potential, have been cleaned up, and have only received about 10 million pounds in total.

In terms of signings, Liverpool signed German defender Matip for free, adding a strong player to the back line.

Then, they signed Southampton's thigh that has been negotiating since April for 34 million pounds. The African striker faced Liverpool three times in a season and scored twice in each game. You know, he scored 14 goals on all fronts last season...

Even if he cannot play such a strong position in Liverpool, he can reduce such a terrible opponent, and this 34 million is worth it!

In addition to Mane, Liverpool also bought central defender Van Dijk from his fellow villager's home, and the cost also reached 30 million pounds - you know, when the Dutch defender joined the Saints a year ago, his net worth was only 16 million.

He doubled his value in one year, and his fellow villager slaughtered Liverpool with a fierce knife!

In addition, Rodgers originally wanted to sign Newcastle's midfielder Wijnaldum - the Dutch midfielder who once led the team to beat Liverpool's defense in the league - but Long Shute suggested that he take a look at Liverpool's current midfield thickness and he could only give up.

After all, in Liverpool's frontcourt, except for Long Shute and Coutinho who occupy one position respectively, Sturridge, Benteke, Firmino, Mane, Origi, Ince... the six forwards rotated in two positions, vice captains Henderson, Emrejan, Milner, Lucas, Larana... the five midfielders compete for two positions, and the competition is already fierce enough.

Time flies very quickly.

In the distant American land, Chile defeated Argentina again after a year, and Messi fell to the penalty spot again.

The runner-up of the 2014 World Cup, the runner-up of the two Cups of America in 2015 and 2016, the Plum Football King suddenly entered a difficult-to-explain problem.

On the contrary, his opponent C Ronaldo ushered in a highlight moment, leading Portugal to win the European Cup championship without being favored at all. Although they rely on a series of draws and new rules to stumble to complete the great achievements of winning the championship, the championship is the champion!

Although the European Cup champion + Champions League champion has not won any of them in China, these two most important honors have almost been led to Ronaldo for the Golden Globe Award this year.

-

The short vacation is finally over.

Long Shute stretched his waist on the beach in Fiji, looked at his wife who was still resting with her eyes closed, and breathed a long sigh.

Fortunately, after all, he is already an old couple. This month, he has basically received sufficient rest and proper exercise has also maintained a perfect body shape.
To be continued...
