Chapter 573: The Two Heroes Who Care About Budgeting

The European Cup final ended with Spain's 4-0 victory over Italy, Iniesta was elected the best player, and the Matador became the first team in the history of the European Football Championship to defend the title.

This result not only shows that Spanish football has reached an unprecedented peak, but also makes this year's individual player awards rare and full of suspense.

Whether Wang Feng, who has exploded data, will continue to win the title, or Iniesta, who has risen with the national team's performance, is more popular, it all depends on how the judges decide.

Based on the performance of the players in the European Cup, the major clubs have taken actions to build their own strengths.

Real Madrid’s main work this summer is focused on renewing the contract of the main lineup, and their desire for new aid is not high. They once tried to ask David Silva. The Spanish midfielder is the hero of Manchester City’s league championship and the player who directly participated in the European Cup. .

But Mansour, who was not short of money, directly quoted 9999 million euros, obviously without any intention of selling, so the matter was left alone.

In the end, the Galaxy Battleship only rented Ghanaian midfielder Essien from Chelsea for the entire transfer window, at a cost of 300 million euros, a record low cost.

And the head coach Ancelotti streamlined and optimized the team lineup. The veteran Gago was sent to Valencia for 350 million euros, and the striker Canales, who has been hovering in the second team, was also sold to the Bat Corps for 750 million euros. .

There are also Altintop, Shaheen, Granero, Diarra and many other substitutes who have found their own homes. After careful calculation, the club made a net profit of 2500 million euros from the transfer.

"Galacticos is clearly the most profitable club in the world, yet they have made another fortune in personnel investment and the transfer market. Such meticulous planning is enough to make all other teams envy and hate." Spain's "Avantgarde" commented.

In response to the signing controversy, club chairman Florentino explained to the public that Real Madrid only put more funds into consolidating the main champions and youth training.

"It is a recognized fact that our lineup is perfect enough, so renewing the contracts of many important players, including Wang Feng, is the current top priority of the club's work."

Almost all fans understand this, because they are the winning side, and everyone's tolerance seems to have become higher.

.........

On the other hand, the top management of the Barcelona club cannot enjoy this ease. They must first find someone to replace Vilanova.

It was rumored that the Catalan team intends to let the former champion Luis Enrique take charge of the coach, which immediately aroused widespread discussion.

Enrique was originally the core of Real Madrid and helped the team win La Liga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup. Later, he had a falling out with the top management before switching to Barcelona, ​​which caused great sensation and controversy at the time.

After retiring, the Spaniard once coached the Barcelona B team, and then moved to Rome. Now he is the head coach of Celta Vigo. Will he be the choice to save the team?

Before the fans discussed the result, Enrique publicly denied the rumors: "I am very happy in Celta, and I have no plans to leave now. Barcelona is a great club. I love it very much. Unfortunately, the time has not come. .”

So who could it be?All kinds of gossip kept coming out, outrageous choices including Van Gaal and even Cruyff all appeared.

"Barcelona is like a hot potato at the moment, and no one wants it." "Marca" mocked.

As a last resort, the former assistant coach Jordi Lula took over the team, like layers of nesting dolls. After Guardiola got out of class, his assistant coach Vilanova came on stage, and after Vilanova was helpless, the assistant coach was ordered again. .

Everyone knows in their hearts that this coach is also taking the blame, and he will last for one season at most.

But the chairman of the club, Rosell, really had no other choice. Most of the rumors were not groundless, but those famous coaches all declined Barcelona's invitation one after another.

At present, there is an undercurrent in the top management of the team. Although it has not yet been the situation where Laporta was forced to resign that year, it is also under great pressure.

On one side is the reality that must be enhanced, and on the other side is the debt that is constantly being built up. Russell is struggling like walking a tightrope.

First of all, they urgently need to get rid of Kaka’s contract to raise funds. After returning to AC Milan on loan, the Brazilian’s condition has recovered. After more than a year of unremitting negotiation efforts, the Rossoneri are willing to buy it back for 1800 million euros. The Catalan team lost on him. 4700 million.

In addition to him, Lula picked out three fringe players including Afeilai, Paul and Keita and sold them to other clubs for 1200 million euros.

Subsequently, Barcelona announced in a high profile that it would spend 1400 million euros to introduce Valencia defender Alba to make up for the weakness of the team's left back position. Both Abidal and Adriano are not stable.

At the same time, Arsenal midfielder Alexander Song came to the Nou Camp with a worth of 1900 million euros. He can play the roles of midfielder and central defender and is a defensive talent suitable for the Barcelona system.

At this point, all the transfers of the Catalan team have been completed, and the net cost of entering and leaving the club is only 300 million euros, which can also give people a sense of reinforcement.

Regarding the introduction of strikers, Rosell said that Spain can still defend the European Cup without a striker, and they also have Messi, Neymar, Sanchez and other good attackers.

"We need to give them a little more patience and time to adjust. Neymar is our hope for the future. His outstanding performance in the just-concluded London Olympics is obvious to all. He scored 3 goals and helped Brazil win the silver medal."

This statement has caused a lot of suspicion. Is it true that after several years of failure, Barcelona is determined to pull Messi down from the core position and strengthen Neymar?

.........

Compared with the careful planning of the La Liga duo, the Premier League is full of pride. This summer, the total transfer investment of 20 teams is as high as 5.9 million pounds, making it the league with the most spending without any suspense.

Among them, Chelsea's investment of nearly 1 million pounds is second only to Paris Saint-Germain. It seems that Abramovich wants to reproduce the past glory of the Blues. He bought Hazard from Lille for 3000 million pounds and introduced Oscar from Brazil International for 2500 million pounds. There are other scattered reinforcements.

After winning the championship, Manchester City's signings were not strong, mainly to check for omissions and fill vacancies, but they also recruited 7 players one after another, spending 4500 million pounds.

The loss of goal difference last season made Manchester United feel unwilling. They frequently introduced Van Persie, Shinji Kagawa and other good players, investing nearly 5700 million pounds.

In the Bundesliga, the total investment of 18 teams in the conversion of 2.44 million euros hit a record high, of which Bayern accounted for the largest.Serie A's expenditure is less than its income, and the transfer market is profitable, which shows that they are losing stars.

The protagonist of this summer's transfer window is naturally Paris Saint-Germain, who spent 1.46 million euros to build a fantasy lineup, which is exactly the same as Manchester City's 2010 million madness in 1.53.

Thiago Silva, Lucas Jr., Lavezzi and other stars came to vote one after another. They also approached Di Maria of Real Madrid and offered up to 5000 million euros for the Argentine, but they were rejected by the Galacticos.

There is another team that stole a lot of limelight from the oil tycoons. Zenit St. Petersburg from Russia, they spent 5000 million euros to introduce Hulk from Porto, becoming the transfer bid king of the season, and spent 4000 million euros to introduce from Benfica Witsell.

"Zenit was blinded by black shops. The cost of two players is worth all the signings of several giants. I bet they will regret it in less than half the season." Netizens commented.
