Chapter 874

The World Cup has finally come to an end, and the pace of the new season is getting closer and closer.

According to Real Madrid's plan for the new season, the team officially started training on July 31, but all international players participating in the World Cup are allowed to return to the team before July [-], and then the team will depart for Scotland for pre-season training.

Yang Yang returned to China with the team after playing the World Cup.

Afterwards, while visiting relatives and friends, he took time to go to the mountainous area to attend the opening ceremony of a Hope Primary School.

It has been the third year since he made the decision to donate to build ten Hope Primary Schools every year. Yang Yang also attaches great importance to this project and has always paid attention to it. As long as he is free, he is willing to participate in such activities.

Of course, he did not make high-profile reports in the media and newspapers, and not many people knew about him.

Returning to Beijing from the mountains, Yang Yang flew directly to the United States for vacation.

On the one hand, it was because Su Ye was filming in the United States, and on the other hand, Winston Bogarde was recruited to Madrid by Benitez. It is said that the coaching staff created a so-called "resurrection plan" for Kaka, hoping to help Kaka's rebirth and stimulate his state in the new season.

After six months of injury, Kaka's performance in the World Cup can only be regarded as mediocre, but it seems that his physical condition should be recovered well. I believe that after adjustments, he will be able to get back to his state soon.

However, it may be impossible to reproduce the style of long-distance attacking the king in the Serie A period.

Many international players, including Yang Yang, Kaka and Robben, may return to the team before the team departs for Scotland, or go to Scotland to join the team on their own.

With the approach of the new season, the transfer market is also surging.

As the league with the most purchasing power among the four major European leagues, the Premier League has become a predator in the transfer market since the beginning of the summer transfer this season, especially the two teams Manchester United and Manchester City.

The Manchester duo initially coveted Valencia's David Silva, and even had deep contact, but in the end David Silva chose Real Madrid before the World Cup, and Florentino also came forward to deal with Valencia's management, and finally let the Bat Corps' Elf King transfer to Real Madrid for 3000 million euros.

This move destroyed the transfer plan of the Manchester duo. The two teams also immediately turned their guns and aimed at Sneijder, who performed well in Real Madrid, and launched a round of fierce competition.

First, Ferguson quoted a price of 3000 million euros, but it was quickly rejected by Real Madrid. Then Manchester City also made an offer, hoping to introduce Sneijder at a price of 1000 million euros plus Robinho.

According to Robinho's market price, Brazilian players are generally around 500 million euros, which is still a lot smaller than when he joined Manchester City.

Robinho was once Florentino's most valued rookie talent, and there have been rumors that Florentino was interested in recalling Robinho, but after Yang Yang expressed his support for Robben, Real Madrid's idea of ​​introducing Robinho gradually faded.

However, Real Madrid really needs a wide player, so they are full of interest in Manchester City's proposal, and use this as a bargaining chip to gain an advantage in negotiating with Benfica on Di Maria, forcing the other party to cut the price.

Robinho took the lead, saying that he would not be the addition of any player, even if he was eager to return to Real Madrid.

And soon, Benfica also made concessions, Real Madrid announced the transfer fee of 500 million euros, the introduction of Argentine striker Di Maria from the Portuguese Super League Benfica, completely cut off the possibility of Robinho returning to Real Madrid.

After that, Inter Milan also joined the battle for Sneijder.

After Mourinho missed the UEFA Champions League last season, he wanted to regain his strength and strive to fight against the major European giants in the UEFA Champions League this season. There are two strong players he wants most, one is Real Madrid's Sneijder, and the other is the midfielder Las Diarra.

With Sneijder's brilliant performance in the World Cup, the entire European football world is full of praise for his performance, especially after he submitted his transfer application, he has attracted the coveted eyes of powerful teams such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Juventus.

After nearly half a month of stalemate negotiations, Manchester City finally came to the fore.

Manchester City coach Mancini personally came forward and persuaded Sneijder, who had just returned from the World Cup in South Africa. At the same time, Manchester City also offered a huge annual salary, and finally persuaded Sneijder to join the team.

At the same time, Manchester City's high price of 5000 million euros to Real Madrid also exceeded Manchester United's 4000 million euros. In the end, Blue Moon successfully won the number one star in the European transfer market this summer. Sneijder also surpassed David Villa's 4000 million euros and became the king of transfer bids this summer.

After Manchester City signed Sneijder, they made successive moves. They signed Yaya Toure from Barcelona at a high price of 800 million pounds, signed Balotelli from Inter Milan at a high price of 300 million pounds, signed Kolarov from Lazio, and signed Jerome Boateng from Hamburg...

The rich and powerful Manchester City waved their checkbooks recklessly. Mancini got almost all the players he wanted, and sent away many players such as Robinho and Bojinov, further enhancing the overall competitiveness of the team.

The Red Devils and Manchester United lost successively in the competition between David Silva and Sneijder for two midfield stars. They had no choice but to introduce Smalling from Fulham for 1000 million pounds and Javier Hernandez from Mexico for 1000 million pounds.

After Inter Milan lost Sneijder, Mourinho put pressure on the management, made concessions on Maicon's transfer and negotiated with Real Madrid.

It happened that the French midfielder Las Diarra was lured by Inter Milan and wanted to fight for the main position. He asked Real Madrid to promise a chance to play in the new season, otherwise he would not rule out switching to his team.

Real Madrid chairman Florentino has repeatedly insisted on the principle, refusing to pay a high transfer fee and annual salary for the 29-year-old Maicon, but he also refused to accept the threat of Las Diarra.

The Galaxy Battleship finally got his wish and got the star who shined in the World Cup and is known as the world's number one right back.

Yang Yang, who was on vacation in the United States, immediately sent a congratulatory message to Maicon after he got the news, congratulating him on joining Real Madrid. At the same time, he also told the media that he firmly believed that Maicon could succeed in Real Madrid.

Maicon came to Madrid for the first time and chose a residence near La Moraleja, saying that he would continue to be neighbors with Yang Yang, and at the same time, he was eager to fight side by side with Yang Yang as soon as possible.

Sneijder was sent away, and Maicon was ushered in. The two old friends came and went, which made Yang Yang sigh with emotion at the turn of the transfer market.

In order to introduce Maicon, Real Madrid lost Las Diarra, and the position of Real Madrid's midfielder immediately became weak. It is obvious that Javier Mascherano can't guarantee the pressure of the new season.

Benitez is also quite optimistic about this native Spanish midfielder. He believes that Martinez is very comprehensive and can be competent for multiple positions such as midfielder, front midfielder and defensive midfielder. He even played as a central defender, which is very suitable for Real Madrid. Current needs.

To put it simply, it is to introduce a Harvey Martinez, and both positions of midfielder and central defender have been strengthened.

Therefore, after Real Madrid made up their minds, they negotiated with Athletic Bilbao first, and finally at the end of July, before Javier Martinez renewed his contract, a three-party agreement was successfully reached.

Real Madrid activated Javier Martinez's release clause and helped Javier Martinez buy out his own contract at a price of 3000 million euros, introducing the Spanish native midfielder from Athletic Bilbao.

……

If it is said that last summer's transfer of Real Madrid was star-studded, whether it was Yang Yang, Kaka, or Zlatan Ibrahimovic, all of them caused a major earthquake in football all over the world. If Florentino built a sky garden at all costs in one summer, then Real Madrid this summer has become more pragmatic.

This is also normal. Last season, Real Madrid won the double crown of Champions League and La Liga. Their own strength is already very good. There is really no need to spend more money to strengthen signings. Instead, they need to improve the strength of the team in some positions.

David Silva, Di Maria, Maicon and Javier Martinez, these four strong players are all players who have proven themselves in other teams, and they will greatly improve the overall strength of Real Madrid in the new season. They are all very practical signings.

And these four players also cost Real Madrid 500 million euros in transfer fees, but after selling Sneijder, Real Madrid recovered 5000 million euros, so this summer, Real Madrid actually only invested 500 million euros.

This is nothing to Real Madrid, which has just won the Champions League and signed multiple heavy sponsorship contracts.

As Real Madrid's number one opponent, Barcelona played a tragic role in the last season, and in the new season, due to the presidential election, they are slow to move in the transfer market.

Rosell replaced Laporta as club president, launched a financial liquidation against his predecessor, and even planned to initiate corruption charges against Laporta, which caused an uproar in European football.

David Villa was Laporta's last signing before leaving office. It cost Barcelona a transfer fee of 4000 million euros, and then Yaya Toure and Ziglinski left the team successively, which barely made up the signing fee.

Rosell publicly stated that Laporta was extravagant during his administration, Barcelona was heavily in debt, and the finances were no longer sustainable. This summer, there will be no more heavy signings. Guardiola's application for a midfielder defensive player has been put on hold for the time being.

Whether it is the intensity of transfers or the level of players introduced, it is obviously not comparable to Real Madrid.
