Chapter 689 Chapter [003] - The storm is still there - [Today's third update]

After failing to sign Xu Zhou, Chelsea did not make any big moves. They just introduced Brazilian midfielder Ramirez for 1800 million pounds.Another powerful midfielder emerging in Brazilian football, his offensive and defensive performance in the World Cup in South Africa was impressive.This summer, Chelsea let go of Ballack, Joe Cole, Deco and other midfielders in one fell swoop. Ramirez came at the right time. In the multi-line battle of the Blues, the Brazilian will never lack opportunities to play.

Yes, Chelsea let go of Joe Cole. Due to being reduced to a substitute at Chelsea and the club did not meet his salary increase requirements, Joe Cole transferred to the Red Army in a rage and became a new force at Anfield.As one of the midfielders with the best footwork in England, Joe Cole not only breaks through sharply, passes the ball accurately, but also has a high level of set-pieces.

Ballack, the German star Ballack returned to the Bundesliga after a lapse of 4 years and joined his old club Bayer Leverkusen. The former German captain is also eager to rebuild his glory in the Bundesliga.Veteran Deco's return to the Brazilian league is embarrassing!

And at this time, news came from Real Madrid that Real Madrid announced that the team's meritorious captain Raul had transferred to the Bundesliga team Schalke 04, and the flag that had been flying for 16 years at the Bernabéu Stadium was lowered.

Spain's "National" said on the front page of this day, "The era of Raul at the Bernabeu has become history. When we bid farewell to an era with sadness, we also ushered in a new era with great anticipation. The Bernabeu belongs to Mourinho, the Mourinho era."

At this time, Manchester United's official website released a new news. The team reached a new contract with the club's star Xu Zhou. Xu Zhou and Manchester United will renew their contract until 2015. Xu Zhou's weekly salary will also increase to 22 pounds. Although this is very different from the 25 pounds offered by Inter Milan, it will also show that Xu Zhou will become the player with the highest annual salary in world football today.

A year is calculated as 365 days, then it will be 365 divided by 7, which is more than 52 weeks, and counted as 52 weeks. Multiply 22 by 52, a total of 1144 million pounds, which means Xu Zhou's annual salary is more than 1144 million pounds.According to today's exchange rate, 1 pound = 1.1592 euros, then 1144 million pounds equals 1326.1248 euros.This is definitely the No. 1300 annual salary in world football. Now the No. [-] is the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo. His annual salary is only [-] million euros!

While the fans of Manchester United were cheering for Xu Zhou's contract renewal, news came from Manchester United's official website that after many bargains, Manchester United finally introduced Dutch star Sneijder from Inter Milan at a price of 3200 million euros, which also means that Manchester United has found a replacement for Scholes.

In order to make up for the vacancy left by Sneijder's departure, Inter Milan bought French midfielder Gourcuff from Lyon, France, at a price of 2200 million euros. This gave birth to another player who played for two teams in Milan.

As the money-burning king this summer, Manchester City still did not stop their pace. They introduced Kolarov from Lazio for 2270 million euros and Spanish midfielder David Silva from Valencia for 2950 million euros.

The frantic summer of 2009 has not been repeated.Even Florentino's Real Madrid chose to restrain themselves under the harsh economic environment and UEFA's increasingly stringent controls, let alone Barcelona, ​​which has just changed its chairman.

The last moment of the European transfer market did stage a climax. Robinho left the Premier League and married AC Milan.It is a pity that the Premier League is only an exporter. The last day's league title was taken by Sunderland, and Ji'an was won for 1200 million pounds. It is also one of the few major transfers in the Premier League this summer!Undoubtedly, there is only one club in the Premier League that can make a difference in the transfer market, with a signing fund of more than 1.4545 million, reaching 4.22 million euros, and the total transfer amount of the Premier League is only 1 million euros, and Manchester City contributed more than 3/2006!However, compared with the previous seasons, this is the lowest record since 22, and the level of the same period last year has dropped by [-]%!

Under the economic crisis, the purchasing power in Europe has dropped a lot. The Premier League ranks first in Europe in terms of total purchases and net transfer expenses.According to the data given by the whole market, the Premier League takes the lead with 4.22 million euros, Serie A and La Liga rank second and third, with total signings reaching 2.95 million euros and 2.61 million euros respectively.It is worth mentioning that in terms of net expenditure, the Premier League dropped a lot behind Serie A and La Liga, reaching 2.37 million euros. The two major leagues of Serie A and La Liga only spent 1981 million euros and 1010 million euros.It can be seen that from the perspective of team purchasing power, there is no doubt that the Premier League is still the richest league in Europe.

Of course, the existence of Manchester City is the key to the Premier League's overwhelming power over other leagues. Chief Mansour's team is the team that invested the most this summer, 6445 million euros more than the second-ranked Real Madrid, becoming a veritable acquisition predator this summer.In the Premier League, the total signings of the traditional top four in the Premier League is only Manchester United, the triple crown champion last season, which exceeded 4000 million euros. Manchester United spent 5680 million euros, with a net investment of 967.5 million euros.Chelsea spent 3800 million euros, with a net investment of 2150 million euros; Arsenal spent 2300 million euros, with a net investment of 1380 million euros; among the traditional semi-finals, the least invested is Liverpool, which spent 2967.5 million euros, but cashed out 3760 million euros, with a net investment of -792.5 million euros, making a profit in the transfer market!It is worth mentioning that this is also the second consecutive year that Liverpool has made a profit in the European transfer market. It is not difficult to understand why the Red Army has achieved such poor results.

That is to say, in terms of total signings, Manchester City is almost equal to the sum of the traditional top four in the Premier League. In terms of net investment, Manchester City has further widened the gap, reaching an astonishing 7220 million euros, which means that the net investment of the Manchester City family is equivalent to three times the sum of the other top four!It is worth mentioning that Manchester City defended this honor again after becoming the team with the most investment in the Premier League last year.It can be seen from this that Mancini's team spent a lot of money in order to break the monopoly of the traditional top four in the Premier League. Of course, for Sheikh Mansour, that money is nothing at all, it is just a drop in the bucket, and such investment is just "joy".

In terms of specific signings, Manchester City, which has invested so much, did not win the Premier League bid this summer, but they have two players with more than 3000 million euros in their team.According to the data given by the whole market, Milner and Yaya Toure became the third most expensive players in Europe this summer, both reaching 4000 million euros. The fourth and fifth players were also made by Manchester City. They bought Balotelli for 3000 million euros and David Silva from Valencia for 2950 million euros.Narrowing the scope of the transfer market to the Premier League, Manchester City undisputedly took from second to sixth, with six Manchester City players in the top ten.In addition to Milner, Yaya Toure, Balotelli and David Silva mentioned above, Kolarov is also on the list, ranking sixth with a net worth of 2875 million euros, while Boateng is ranked tenth with a net worth of 2275 million euros.

In the top ten Premier League transfer value rankings this summer, in addition to Manchester City's six fierce players, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United each have one player selected.Manchester United's Sneijder became the Premier League standard king at a price of 3200 million euros; Chelsea spent 2200 million euros on the introduction of Ramirez, ranking seventh; Sunderland spent 1600 million euros on purchasing Gyan, ranking eighth.Javier Mascherano's departure, Liverpool used 1400 million euros to take in Portuguese international Meireles to replace him, and his worth ranked ninth.Arsenal bought Koscielny, spending 1250 million euros, tied with Manchester City's Boateng for tenth.

Since Manchester United's formation remains relatively complete, the team does not have many signings. The number of signings is four, first of all, the Premier League standard king Sneijder with 3200 million euros, then Smalling with 1000 million pounds, Hernandez with 700 million pounds and Bebe with 880 million euros.

Real Madrid in La Liga is not taking the path of crazy money this year, they are taking a practical route.

If Florentino’s Real Madrid built a sky garden regardless of the cost last summer, then this summer, the Bernabéu began to learn to be down-to-earth. Although it seems that the investment is still not small, it has already spent 8100 million euros, but Di Maria, the most valuable of the six players, is only 6 million euros, which can only be ranked fifth last summer.Obviously, the disproportionately large difference between investment and income last season made Florentino understand something-in the football world, money plays a very important role, but it is by no means decisive.

Among the 6 players introduced by Real Madrid this summer, except Di Maria, who is suspected of being misnamed, the other 5 players are very practical, relatively high-quality and cheap choices.Ozil and Khedira are worth 1800 million euros and 1400 million euros respectively. Considering their performance in the World Cup, Real Madrid would not have been able to acquire them at such a low price if they had not entered the final year of their contract with their old club.Both Leon and Canales are Spanish new stars with great potential, and their worth is not high-you must know that players like Drenthe spent 1400 million euros for Real Madrid.

A more convincing example is the joining of Carvalho. Originally Mourinho's first choice was to introduce his old subordinate Maicon, but when Inter Milan insisted on a high price, Real Madrid chose to give up and instead spent 800 million euros to buy Carvalho from Chelsea.In the handling of this matter, Florentino showed a completely different style of acting from the past, and we should admit that such a change is a good thing for Real Madrid.Even if there is a bad result, that is, Carvalho proves not worth 800 million euros, at least Real Madrid has shown an attitude to the outside world through this transfer operation, that is, the era of arbitrary blackmail is over.However, Real Madrid’s cleaning effect was not good. Raul, Guti and Metzelder all left for free. Drenthe only went to Hergus on loan. M. Diarra, who was most wanted to sell, failed to sell. The only one who could sell for money was Van der Vaart, whose price was only 1100 million euros. In fact, his performance can definitely stay in Real Madrid.

The boldness of Real Madrid last summer forced Barcelona to bite the bullet and start an arms race. This summer, Russell's Barcelona didn't want to use the transfer market to strengthen their strength and maintain their advantage over Real Madrid, but they were really helpless.Compared with last season, Barcelona, ​​Henry and Marquez freely terminated the contract, sold Yaya Toure to Manchester City for 3000 million euros, sold Ziglinski to Shakhtar Donetsk for 1500 million euros, Ibrahimovic rented and then sold to Milan at a low price of 2400 million, but in terms of player introduction, they only bought Villa, Adriano and Mascherano, of which 4000 million euros were bought by Villa or the former chairman Laporta Handwriting, the only one who can really be regarded as the signature signing and pioneering work of the new chairman Russell is the former Liverpool player Mascherano.

Villa, Mascherano and Adriano are all very good players. There is no doubt that the Asturian striker can improve Barcelona's frontcourt supply system, the Argentine can strengthen the midfielder, and the Brazilian can play multiple positions in the backcourt, which can improve Barcelona's defensive depth.But only relying on the three of them is obviously not enough to make up for the vacancies left by the departure of four players, especially considering that Barcelona had a serious shortage of manpower last season.Russell had actively tried to get Fabregas to join him, but in the end he failed to persuade Wenger to let him go. This is not surprising. What is strange is that Russell said that he had prepared 3 million euros for Fabregas. After deducting the 4 million euros spent on introducing Mascherano, where did the remaining 4000 million euros go?

It is understandable for Rosell to be cautious on the issue of signings, because according to him, the mess left by Laporta is so bad that it needs to borrow from the bank to pay the players' wages.But putting aside the economic difficulties, Barcelona does have a lot of problems in terms of transfer operations.Whether it is contact with Mascherano, Ozil or Robinho, the head coach Guardiola is not aware of it in advance, and is notified after the progress has reached a certain level. This violates the basic principles of the head coach-in Guardiola's view, the normal signing mode should be that the coach makes a request, lists the list, and then the club operates.

The most unbelievable thing is that Rosell actually sent Ibrahimovic to AC Milan at an ultra-low price of 2400 million euros, and it was still on loan for the first year and paid in installments for the next three years.Although the performance of the Swede last season cannot be said to be very good, it is definitely not bad. Not to mention that Ibrahimovic’s technical characteristics are unique in Barcelona. If he is sold away, even the minimum depth of the bench cannot be guaranteed.Even if it must be sold, what is 2400 million euros?Is it a big gift of friendship?You must know that Gaeto'o spent 4600 million euros (a discount of 2000 million euros) to get Ibrahimovic Barcelona last year, and lost 4200 million euros in just one year. This summer, he didn't get a penny. This kind of negotiation and operation ability is simply amateurish.
