781、The transfer market is a mess
2017 International Champions League China...
This is probably the most difficult event Liverpool has participated in in recent years.
Long Shute started from the first second, but they still failed to defeat their opponents!
"Goals battle! Liverpool draws Bayern 5-5!"
"Ajax draws Liverpool! Longshu's eight goals in a single game are hard to save!"
"Captain Dragon played hat tricks in the first and second half respectively! The Reds tied AC Milan 4-4 again!"
Some Liverpool fans who did not watch the live broadcast even had hallucinations after seeing the third news headline:
TMD! You are too underestimating the educational level of our British Empire?
The first and second half of the game were scored, but Liverpool scored at least 6 goals, right?
But why is the score only 4-4?
Don't tell me...Don't Long Shute scored an own goal?!
-
In addition to the high appearance fee, there is another important reason why Chelsea and Everton agreed to send all the main lineups to participate in such a game.
Long Shute promised that in their match against Liverpool, they would only play for the Reds for 45 minutes.
In the other 45 minutes, he will join the opponent's lineup and counterattack towards Liverpool!
So these competitions have become Long Shute’s personal exhibition competition without any surprises!
He played 5 games in five cities, each with 90 minutes, scoring a total of 38 goals, averaging 7.6 goals per game.
Since only defeated Chelsea and Everton in the end, Liverpool only scored 9 points, ranking second in the Chinese region behind Bayern, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 11 points.
This is the only runner-up trophy that Long Shute won after joining Liverpool, but he did not feel ashamed.
Instead, he thought such a competition... was quite fun!
After two extremely successful seasons, it is indeed of great significance to be able to teach Liverpool’s teammates who think they are invincible!
-
It is mid-to-late July, and Europe's summer transfer window has already been completed for more than half.
Many important signings are also approaching their implementation.
Due to Neymar's sky-high transfer in 2016, the current player market has risen. Any star is more than 40 million yuan. Even the young training boy who has a little potential and has never played in the first team can bid for tens of millions!
Barcelona, which failed in all competitions last season, was obviously the one who was the most unsustainable.
I don’t know if they were so crazy that they actually offered Liverpool an official offer to acquire Salah for 100 million euros!
Before Long Shute could respond, the whole football world burst into laughter.
What a joke?
Coutinho sold 150 million last year, but now Salah, who scored more goals than him, only 100 million?!
Salah was also quite tough, and he made a statement directly in the public media:
"It is not impossible to join Barcelona, but the premise is... I want to go with Dragon!"
Barcelona can only smash its own fax machine in one blow:
Nowadays, Long Ritian does not have 1 billion pounds, and he doesn’t even dare to quote!
-
Barcelona, who failed to buy Salah, took a different approach. They signed French star Ottoman Dembele from Dortmund for a total price of 130 million euros.
In order to transfer to Barcelona, Dembele, who is only 20 years old, can do everything he can.
He was late for training, he had conflicts with his teammates, he stopped training, he stopped playing games, he lost contact...
At the beginning, Dortmund's attitude was very tough. They even adopted the team's ban to try to scare the monkey. They also received a lot of praise at that time. Most people believed that Dembele's transfer scene ended here.
But the French young player disappeared from Dortmund for two weeks!
He broke up with the Bumblebee in this way!
If it is at Manchester United, Mourinho can make Dembele completely ruined on the bench, and even prevent him from playing for one second for three years. When the contract expires, who knows that you are a human or a ghost?
But Dortmund cannot bear such consequences. They cannot waste the value of their players in order to show off their strength.
From a certain point of view, this is also the difference between the two clubs...
So in 2015, Real Madrid attacked De Gea for more than three months, but in the end, the tough Van Gaal locked up the Spanish goalkeeper.
But Dortmund had to let the French young player go.
-
Also a French young player, another younger Mbappe also set a new record.
18 and a half years old Mbappe surpassed Dembele and Coutinho's price - 1.8 euros, joined Paris Saint-Germain at a total price of 200 million euros, and successfully met Neymar.
As for Cavani, he was sold out by Paris because of the previous penalty kick...
At the center position, Paris Saint-Germain signed a French fellow villager Oliver Giroud.
-
Real Madrid, who was defeated in Cardiff, finally left their own youth training Morata. At the same time, they also wanted to dig up one between Icardi and Dybala to strengthen the offensive firepower in the midfield.
But perhaps because their midfield and frontcourt are already overcrowded, perhaps... it was just that these two Argentine internationals were reminded by a teammate of the national team, and Real Madrid failed to succeed in the end.
Not only did they fail to dig up fresh blood, they also had to let go of a general, Colombian football king J Ronaldo, who was loaned by Bayern.
In addition, Real Madrid bought defender Teo Hernandez for 30 million yuan, and midfielder Dany Sabalos for 13 million yuan, and cleaned up a large number of old players such as Danilo, Pepe, and Cointran to prepare for the new season.
-
Barcelona's movements are much bigger.
In addition to Dembele, they also used 40 million to poach Paulinho from the Chinese Super League giant Evergrande, bought Semedo from Benfica 30 million, and bought back their youth training Deulofeu from Everton 12 million, with a net investment of nearly 200 million!
The little money received from selling Neymar... TMD has already spent it!
-
Since Morata did not leave and the original striker Diego Costa insisted on leaving, Chelsea had to buy a replacement.
Their original target was Everton's Belgian striker Lukaku, who also intends to return to the Blues, but Manchester United, who has the nickname "Price-raising Union", has been in trouble and snatched away the "new Warcraft" with Rooney + cash.
Conte could only shake his head and sigh, and then accept Mourinho's provocation.
After all, Chelsea is now spending money, but it is really hard to compare with Manchester United, who is willing to act rashly...
Chelsea had to settle for the second best, and bought Lukaku's national team rival from Liverpool - "Yunli King Kong" Benteke.
As Liverpool's frontcourt combination becomes more and more tacit and outstanding in height, but Benteke, who lacks sufficient technology and awareness, obviously cannot squeeze out Firmino's position. In addition, competitors such as Sturridge, Origi, Ins are also eager to play, so he has to seek a transfer.
Long Shute did not make things too difficult for this teammate who had played side by side for two seasons. Chelsea paid 30 million pounds and Liverpool let him go directly, and the whole process was also stable.
On the defense line, Sarco and Moreno also chose to leave. It is indeed difficult for them to get a stable starting position in this team. The former returned to Ligue 1 and the latter returned to La Liga, both of which are the leagues they are most familiar with.
Reliable defenders are not easy to buy, but Liverpool today does not have such concerns.
Now, as long as they wave in the transfer market, a large number of players will naturally come!
money?
Liverpool, which just raised a large amount of funds with the help of listing, has some money!
honor?
You may not have heard that in the 2017-18 season, the Liverpool captain has announced their goals.
Chapter completed!
