Chapter 295 The Fading of the Myth
Beckham ultimately chose Real Madrid over Barcelona.

But Laporta is not nothing, they traded with Paris Saint-Germain and won the new World Cup winner, Ronaldinho.

Barcelona has invested a lot in recent years, but they are still under the pressure of Real Madrid.

Laporta, who is working hard to run for the chairman of Barcelona, ​​in addition to introducing an Arsenal general in defense, he also chose Ronaldinho as an offensive player.

Originally, Laporta wanted to win Beckham more, but who knew that he was picked up by Real Madrid in the end.

With a huge cash flow in their hands, they are only short of talents and not short of money.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Hypia to be sold by Shao Bo at such a high price.

The selling price of Ronaldinho is not as high as that of Hypia, only 3000 million euros, which is equivalent to about 2000 million pounds.

Of course, this is due to the fact that Paris Saint-Germain is currently in a hurry to make a move and cannot raise the price, and it is also due to the fact that Ronaldinho and the club's senior management have had a bad relationship and clearly expressed their intention to go.

The results are not good, and it is relatively speaking. Although Barcelona has been under the pressure of Real Madrid in recent years, they have also won a La Liga championship.

Results can attract fans, sponsors and a lot of broadcast fees, not to mention the advantages of membership, Barcelona's investment in transfers has no worries at all.

After winning Hyypia and Ronaldinho, they will continue to look for prey in the transfer market and compete with Real Madrid for players.

And purely from the perspective of winning Beckham at a transfer fee of 3000 million, this is a rare successful transaction made by Real Madrid.

In terms of Beckham's work alone, the price is a bit high, but it's not much worse.If you add his diligent and serious attitude on and off the court, the commercial value he brought to Real Madrid, and the promotion of his reputation... then it will not be one or two 3000 million.

This is not to say that Real Madrid's previous transfers were embarrassing, it's just that Florentino spent too much money to build a Galacticos.

Except for Ronaldo who started to recover from his knee injury after the New Year, Zidane and Figo are all worthy of the transfer price.

Even for Ronaldo, if it weren't for injuries, there would be no problem with the transfer fee given by Real Madrid.

It's just that their image of "only buying expensive ones and not choosing the right ones" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Especially when Florentino loaned Morientes to Arsenal in order to make room for Ronaldo and others, he received consecutive goals from Morientes in the Champions League group stage.

It makes people feel that they seem to pay more attention to the reputation of the players than whether they are suitable for Real Madrid.

For this reason, Real Madrid has directly spawned a loan clause, the main content of which is that players who will be loaned out by Real Madrid in the future will not be allowed to play in games against Real Madrid.

Good people call it the "Morientes Clause."

After nearly a year of use, Shao Bo certainly does not want to let go of such an outstanding player, but Real Madrid does not plan to loan Morientes to Arsenal again.

And Arsenal don't have the financial resources to buy Morientes now. Real Madrid set a price of 400 million euros for him, which is not in the price range in Shao Bo's mind.

However, there is no righteousness in buying and selling. With Morientes' whereabouts next season already clear, they don't mind telling Shao Bo about Real Madrid's decision.

Real Madrid general manager Valdano privately revealed that Morientes will go to Porto, Portugal in the new season.

Still not an official transfer, but Porto can afford Morientes' full salary.

This is not what Arsenal are currently able to do.

Hyypia and Morientes will leave in the summer, and Shao Bo also hopes to win a few more championships together before the end of this season.

However, this may seem difficult.

The League Cup has been taken away by Chelsea first, consolidating Eriksson's position at Stamford Bridge.

The FA Cup also met Liverpool early under the arrangement of the schedule.

In the overall downturn of the team at the time, Arsenal finally lost their qualifications for promotion because of a sneak attack by Michael Owen.

In the end, only Arsenal, which was left to play in the league, fell into a strange circle after their undefeated record. Although their losses were not many, their undefeated games were always draws, always when they should get three. When the score is scored, another point is given to the opponent.

This allowed Manchester United and Chelsea to quickly surpass Arsenal in the standings. If Houllier hadn't had too much influence on Liverpool during the operation, I'm afraid Arsenal would only be No.4 now.

Some other teams do not pose much threat to the Premier League semi-finals.

Nottingham Forest is hovering in the relegation zone, and Tottenham Hotspur are now only stable in the middle of the Premier League-even if Arsenal double-killed Tottenham this season, they were only 2:0 and 2:1 twice With such a small score, it's not even news.

From the current point of view, Tottenham Hotspur has not threatened Arsenal's qualifications. They still have to think hard about how to impact the qualifications for the Europa League.

Arsenal can be said to have returned to the mortal world from the myth of being undefeated.

Since the myth of invincibility was shattered, they have also been troubled by disasters.

Needless to say, Henry and Pires were absent at critical moments, and Bergkamp was also judged to need to rest for at least three months-this directly skipped the entire season and came to the summer.

After entering 03, Alonso's state continued to be in a downturn, which became a rare "evidence" that questioned Shao Bo's vision of buying people.

Facing Alonso's slump, Shao Bo also let him rest for the time being. At least Arsenal does not lack talents in the midfield.

The problem in the midfield is not big, but on the wing, Arsenal exposed a lot of problems.

Lauren also entered the injury camp after suffering a torn thigh muscle after an intensive schedule in January.

Then, Arsenal had only Sun Jihai left on the right.

Changing the position of players and transforming players is not what Shao Bo is good at.

For many years, Shao Bo has used the golden finger of memory to select players, but he has followed the path traveled by his predecessors without any innovation of his own.

Talking about transcending the times, in fact, they are all the old tactics in my memory that I have seen countless times.

The innovation that really belongs to Shao Bo has not yet appeared.

And Shao Bo didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, and when Lauren was injured.

However, when he learned that Lauren was also reimbursed this season, and Sun Jihai was unable to achieve the role Lauren played on the wing, Shao Bo could only regret it helplessly.

Regret that he didn't temporarily add a right player in the winter.

As a result, Arsenal's losses to Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in the second half of the season were all due to problems down the right flank.

Later, Shao Bo moved Grosso and Ashley Cole to the right, which did not have enough effect.

The experiment of many people also shared the pressure of Sun Jihai, so that he did not receive too much blame - but there are too many people to blame.

After the winter, Arsenal paid the price for their period of invincibility.

These injuries, in fact, have appeared faint signs in the past few years, but the players have always been in a high-pressure state, and their bodies have been fine.

After the sudden relaxation, all the hidden wounds that had been hidden for several years broke out.

Whether it is Bergkamp or Lauren, most of their injuries are because of this.And Henry and Pires also suffered too much impact in the frontcourt, and there were problems ahead of time.

However, these problems have also directly led to Arsenal's ups and downs in the league's championship road. It has never formed a significant surpass over other teams, and even fell behind Chelsea and Manchester United in the standings.

This made Abramovich, who had hit a nail at Arsenal, ecstatic. He was looking forward to the day when he surpassed Manchester United and won the Premier League title.

It's just that Chelsea fell behind in the later stage, and Eriksson still had some shortcomings in controlling the players, and conflicts arose in the locker room.

In addition, their experience is not enough, and they finally lost the second place in the league at the end of the season.

Liverpool under Houllier had a good momentum at the beginning of the season, and their winning percentage was extremely high.

But as soon as the old man was admitted to the hospital, the strength of the team dropped sharply, losing several games in a row.And even after his comeback, the team has ups and downs and is very unstable.

When in good form, they were able to draw with Manchester United and beat Arsenal. When in bad form, Liverpool directly lost to teams like Southampton and Portsmouth, and were even slaughtered by West Ham United.

In the end, they only got the fourth place in the league, will overwhelm Newcastle, and can get tickets to enter the Champions League by playing the Champions League qualifiers.

Newcastle's state this season is similar to Arsenal's. Both were in a rush in the first half of the season, and it will be difficult to maintain after the winter.

This is probably because they broke into the second stage of the Champions League group stage and consumed too much energy there.

Everton took the opportunity to take the position. Although Newcastle broke the record and became one of the only two Champions League quarter-finals in the Premier League, they also plummeted in the league. They can only play in the Europa League next season.

Speaking of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the other one is naturally Manchester United.

In the past few years, in the Champions League, only Manchester United is fighting for the status of the Premier League, but this is also related to strategic considerations among other teams.

And this year, they didn't use much effort in the Champions League, but went all out to stop Arsenal, and strive to regain the Premier League championship trophy this year!
