Chapter 311 The Final Lineup Adjustment
After the game, the coaches of the two sides stood on the sidelines with smiles on their faces and talked for a long time, while many young people on the Turin side ran to the big-name players of Real Madrid to ask for jersey exchange, especially the Ronaldo jersey. Pellegri's smile is brilliant. It seems that the power of idols is indeed powerful.

After resting overnight in Madrid, the Red Bulls flew back to their home base on the morning of the 10th. There is still the last game left in their pre-season warm-up match, and they will face their other satellite team, Novara at home. , the game was scheduled to be held next Monday, and the following weekend was the day when the first round of the league began.

However, when European clubs were making final preparations for the new season, a blockbuster transfer enough to be recorded in football history was finally achieved, which shocked everyone. In the early morning of August 8, the Ligue 11 giants Paris Saint-Germain officially announced that Neymar, the captain of the Brazilian national team, officially joined the team.Prior to this, Paris had transferred the liquidated damages to the account of Brazil's top star. Neymar immediately activated the liquidated damages worth 2.22 million euros in his contract with Barcelona, ​​​​and he was able to forcibly leave the team without the consent of the Spanish giants. owner.This worth also allowed Neymar to surpass last year's Pogba in one fell swoop, becoming the latest world standard king, and more than doubled the original record, which is really inhumane! (Because of the need of the article, the time has been adjusted backward by one week)
The reason why the players have to buy out the contract is because Paris Saint-Germain wants to avoid the financial fairness policy set by UEFA. After all, they have burned countless money in the transfer market in the past two years. Lian's thorn in the side, in order to avoid punishment, had to resort to this "curve to save the country" method.

There are two main reasons why Neymar is willing to leave one of the most powerful teams in world football and switch to a Ligue 1 team with a slightly lower status and strength.One is that he knows very well that as long as he stays in Spain, it is basically impossible for him to surpass Ronaldo, especially his teammate Messi, and set foot on the No.[-] throne in the world within the last three or four years, so leaving is the reason for this already The inevitable choice of the top superstar who is no longer young.

The second key reason is economic.In order to persuade this superstar currently ranked among the top three in the world to join, PSG actually offered a basic annual salary of 3000 million euros after tax and a signing fee of up to 1 million euros. Neymar's father will also be paid no less than 4000 million euros.These figures are the highest offers received by players playing in Europe, at least in terms of treatment, surpassing the two current world quasi-ball champions.Moreover, the Ligue [-] giants will also provide Neymar with a private jet to facilitate his travel between Brazil and Europe. These meticulous care completely touched the heart of the Brazilian striker, and the transfer agreement was finally reached.

Here I want to explain a little bit why the definition of playing in Europe is added in front of the highest asking price above, because the annual salary of 3000 million euros after tax is not currently the highest level in world football.Last year, at the end of 2016, Shenhua, the magic capital of China, signed the Argentine "Beast" Tevez, who was about to turn 3800 at the time, with an annual salary of 33 million euros, creating the highest record for a world football player so far. salary records.However, the performance of this rebellious striker in Tianchao can be called a disaster. He did not work hard in the game, constantly criticized the level of Tianchao teammates, and suffered from homesickness every day. All these made the Tianchao team and even the entire Tianchao Football has become the laughing stock of everyone, and I really blush when I say it.

Going back to the incident of Neymar joining Paris, Barcelona has been trying to poach Verratti since last summer, but instead of succeeding, it angered the other party, and the second core of the team was poached instead. The chicken can't eat the rice, and the eyes are full of sad tears!Although the La Liga giants are still arguing with Neymar about the ownership of various bonuses, the new coach Valverde and the director of the sports department Soller have begun to seize the time to find a successor, and then European football staged a "library". Can Tinho go or not?" The soap opera dominated the news for ten days afterward.

In fact, the first goal of the Catalan team will undoubtedly be Griezmann, but since Atletico Madrid will not be able to register new aid until January 2018, they will not let go of the core of the team anyway. Yes, so they had to target Coutinho, who has played world-class performance in the Premier League in the past two seasons.

According to Spanish media reports, Liverpool's core Neymar had already applied to the club to leave the team before he announced his switch to Ligue 7200, and he was determined to go to Barcelona to succeed his hometown.However, faced with the first offer of 8150 million pounds equivalent to 2.22 million euros from the La Liga giants, the Red Army directly rejected it. Within a week after that, the two sides conducted many negotiations on the transfer fee until Neymar's transfer was confirmed. After 1.28 million euros have entered Barcelona's account, the quotation for the introduction of "Ku Bird" has reached an astonishing [-] million euros, which still has not moved the hearts of "Uncle Slag" and the Red Army executives.

On the 14th, there was news from the UK that Coutinho had faked an injury, stopped training, and was about to leave the team, but when everyone thought that the transfer could be reached quickly after the final price was negotiated , the Red Army coach made it clear in the interview that he would not let him go. On the 16th, the Spanish "Mundo Deportivo" broke the news that the reason why Liverpool's No. 10 did not appear in the team's away game against Hoffenheim in the first round of the UEFA Champions League playoffs the day before was because he said that he had a back injury and could not play. It is regarded as a threat to the team, and the player also wants to retain the qualifications for the new club to compete in the European war.

For a while, the two clubs and Coutinho caught in the middle became the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone wanted to know what the final outcome of the matter would be.

On the 23rd, after the Red Army successfully made a comeback in the second round of the Champions League play-offs, and the name of the Brazilian midfielder still did not appear in the squad for advancing to the group stage, many media are speculating whether the transaction has turned around.But more surprising news came two days later. Barcelona officially announced that it had signed French winger Ousmane Dembele from Dortmund in the Bundesliga. The Hornet immediately confirmed the news and gave detailed information.

The La Liga giants will pay Dortmund a one-time transfer fee of up to 1.05 million euros, and also add a floating clause of up to 40% of the fixed transfer fee, allowing the seller to obtain a maximum profit of more than 1.4 million euros.Although the contract will be executed immediately on the day the notice is issued, the official completion of the transfer procedures will depend on whether the player can pass the medical examination of the new club, but this sum surpasses Pogba and will become the second highest transfer fee in international football The deal has basically been finalized.

Using a new star who is not much worse than Neymar in terms of talent as the successor of the Brazilian superstar, the disadvantage is that the current ability of the player has dropped significantly, and the team needs to start anew in terms of running-in, but one out and one in The net profit of hundreds of millions of euros has provided sufficient capital for the subsequent update of the lineup. Whether the team has made a profit or a loss this summer can only be experienced by Barcelona.

And the reason why Li Mudi paid close attention to the news of who Barcelona will replace Neymar's position is that he wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Rajajic.After the Hornets sold Dembele at a sky-high price, they are bound to spend part of their funds to supplement their positions in the frontcourt. It can also be seen from the FM system that at this time they are slightly more interested in the Serbs than before. It has become an extraordinary level.But Turin's versatile frontcourt is not their only target. Ukrainian international winger Andriy Yarmolenko, currently playing for Dynamo Kiev, and Manchester City U18 youngster Jadon Sancho are both. Dort focused on the object of investigation.

Although Dembele's deal was officially announced on August 8, the Turin coach, who was monitored by the FM system, discovered that Barcelona had already offered to the Hornets when Courinho was still occupying the front pages of major media on the 25th. The quotation is made, which is quite a bit like repairing the plank road secretly.After the information column showed that Dortmund had agreed to the purchase application, Li Moody knew that there would be basically no changes in the transfer, because there were only a few players in the world who would reject the invitation from the La Liga giants, and the 18-year-old The French winger is certainly not one of them.At that time, the Turin coach made a bold move, releasing the intention to sell Rajajic to this Bundesliga powerhouse.

The other party quickly replied to the news, if the price is reasonable, they will agree to negotiate the transfer of the Serbian. On the afternoon of the 19th, when the first round of Serie A was about to start, Borussia Dortmund sent a fax with an offer of 1300 million euros, which coincided with the player's valuation on the "Transfer Market".After an urgent discussion between the head coach, the director and the head of the marketing department, the Red Bull returned the price of 2000 million, and the other party directly put the transaction on hold.

After receiving the news, Longo directly approached Li Moody, who had just completed the team training, and asked with a slightly worried tone what to do next. The Turin coach directly showed his hole card and said: "I got inside information, Kiev Dynamo reported a price of 3000 million for Yarmolenko, which is 2500 million higher than ours. Even if Dortmund will negotiate, the minimum transaction price is 1600 million, and our reserve price for Rajajic is only 800 million is much cheaper. From the perspective of cost performance, I think the Hornets must be very clear about who to choose. As for Jayden Sancho, although it is his first professional contract, the buyout fee is only 17 million at most. But you can't expect a [-]-year-old to fill the void left by Dembele, so I personally think it's quite possible that Dortmund will choose to trade with us. So wait."

And the subsequent development was indeed guessed by Li Mudi. At noon on the 26th, Dortmund sent a new round of quotation faxes again. The two parties finally reached an agreement through fierce bargaining before the evening.Bumblebee sports manager Zorc flew directly to Turin the next day and settled the contract in one day. Then both sides issued an official announcement at the same time on the evening of the 27th: Rajajic was transferred to Turin for a transfer fee of 1750 million euros. The dues joined the Bundesliga powerhouse and took over the No. 7 jersey left by Dembele.

As soon as the deal was confirmed, the Turin team loaned Croatian young midfielder Andrea Balic from Udinese for 100 million euros, and set up the option to play in 6 next year. There is a mandatory clause to buy him out for 30 million before March 400.

Obviously, this young player born in August 1998 is the substitute Li Mudi had prepared for Rajajic long ago.Baliqi was born in the Heiduksplit Football Club in the First Division of the Kremlin. He is good at the central midfielder, but he also has good adaptability in the midfielder and midfielder.He has a relatively moderate height of 8 meters and zero height. He has exquisite skills and has the advantages of speed and flexibility. When he played in China, he was hailed by the media as the next Modric.

In the summer of 2016, Udinese spent 300 million euros to introduce him into the team, but throughout the year, he only got the chance to play in the last four rounds of the league that had nothing to do with the overall situation.In the end, in these four games with a total of 241 minutes of playing time, Balic scored his first and only goal after landing in Serie A when facing Inter Milan.However, the old coach Del Neri, who gave him a chance to make his Serie A debut, introduced Czech international Antonin Ballack and Swiss international Vallon Behrami one after another this summer, plus Fofana, who stayed on the team, With international-level midfielders such as Yanktor, Balic still faces a situation where he has no ball to play.Faced with the call of the coach of Turin, who is famous for teaching and training young people, the young man agreed to switch to the Red Bulls without waiting to hear the follow-up details.

In fact, the new player Li Moody hopes to bring in most is the Argentine Pastore. Last season, he was plagued by injuries and his playing time dropped sharply. There were rumors that he would leave the team before the start of the season.Moreover, after Neymar joined, he snatched the No. 10 jersey he was wearing before, which logically would increase the dissatisfaction in the heart of the famous general, but when the Turin club tried to inquire about the price from Paris, it was met with opposition from the other party. Refused, Paris coach Emery bluntly said that Pastore will be an important rotation player of the team, but it is not impossible to be taken away, as long as the buyer can pay 4000 million euros, he can be released.

Although it is not impossible to spend the funds if you squeeze hard, the Turin coach originally only wanted to rent the Argentine midfielder for a season, and then try to cultivate relationships with the players, to see if he can get the other party to join for free after the contract expires. Opportunity.It is absolutely impossible for him to spend 4000 million now to buy a player with a serious injury history, even if he is a peerless genius.And when Qi Zu was unwilling to let Kovacic go, Balic, who was a plan C, was able to join last season's Serie A runner-up.

So far, the lineup adjustment plan in Li Moody's mind has been completed, and the Turin team will start the new season with this brand new team, hoping to achieve even better results based on last year's good performance.
