The day after the German Cup final, La Liga also played its last round of the season, and the results of the five major leagues came to an end.
Barcelona had 32 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in 38 games, scoring 100 points to win the La Liga championship. Messi scored 46 (4) goals in 32 games, winning the La Liga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot.
Manchester United ranks first in the Premier League with 89 points. Robin van Persie, who just transferred from Arsenal, has 26 (3) and is the top scorer in the Premier League this season.
Juventus won the Serie A championship again. Naples' Cavani scored 29 goals in 34 games and became the top scorer in Serie A.
Schalke 04 thrillingly won the first Bundesliga championship in the club's history. Yang Feng shocked Europe with 45 goals in 33 games.
Paris Saint-Germain was the dominant team and won the French Ligue 1 championship trophy without any doubt. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was also new to the club, scored 30 (4) goals and won the French Ligue 1 Golden Boot.
Farmers plant in spring and harvest in autumn, but in the football world, summer is the season of harvest and parting.
Coach Jupp Heynckes, who just led his team to win the Champions League and German Cup double, bid farewell to Bayern. The story of "Lao Ren and Hai" has come to an end for the time being. Guardiola, who resigned from Barcelona last year, officially became Bayern's new coach.
Mourinho, Guardiola's bitter rival, sadly left Real Madrid, which was in constant internal strife, and returned to Chelsea due to defeats in the Champions League and the league. However, the madman who returned to the Blue Bridge found that the Premier League was also in a bleak autumn, and the world had changed.
Looking around, there is only one Wenger left among the old rivals in the past.
Benitez, who led Chelsea to win the Europa League, will retire and will coach Napoli, who will advance to the Champions League next season.
Ferguson walked onto the podium amidst the cheers of nearly 80,000 fans in the audience and formally bid farewell to his 27-year coaching career at Manchester United.
Comparing it with other giants, you will know how great the number 27 is in this field: In these 27 years, Real Madrid changed coaches 24 times, Inter Milan changed coaches 19 times, Chelsea changed coaches 16 times, and Juventus and Bayern changed coaches 14 times. , AC Milan and Barcelona changed coaches 12 times, Liverpool 8 times, Arsenal 3 times...
The day after Ferguson announced his retirement, their city brothers Manchester City also announced Mancini's dismissal.
According to the latest odds from Skybet, former Real Madrid coach Pellegrini is the most likely to be elected as the new Manchester City coach, and his odds are 1 to 5. Closely followed are Mourinho (1 to 7) and Ancelotti (1 to 16). After these three people, Benitez, Rogers, and Klopp all hope to compete for Manchester City's new coach.
The famous marshals have their own places to go, and the fierce generals are about to go their separate ways.
According to the traditional view, 2013 is a small year for sports. There are no large-scale events that attract world attention in the sports world, and the same is true when narrowing the scope to football.
The European Cup ended last year and the World Cup begins next year. The 2013 in between seemed relatively dull and looked like a transitional period. However, when the time came to the summer of 2013, the entire transfer market was turbulent.
Ozil, Cesc Fabregas, Kaká, Neymar, Falcao, Cavani, Bale, Kroos, Yang Feng...many famous stars have reported transfer news.
Of course, the one who attracts the most attention is China’s golden boy Yang Feng. Whether he stays or where he goes will cause a chain reaction in the entire football world.
If he goes to Real Madrid, Real Madrid will shelve negotiations with Bale; if he goes to Paris, Paris will abandon Cavani; if he goes to Arsenal, he will definitely not coexist with Ozil; if he goes to Manchester City, then He can even vote for the new Manchester City coach...
A single move affects the whole body.
But Yang Feng, who was at the center of the storm, disappeared from public view after participating in the league's championship celebrations, hiding his identity and fame.
Everyone thought that he was unbearable and wanted to stay away from the world in order to stay away from the disputes. Who knew that although this guy was in China, he had been paying attention to every move of Manchester City. In short, he would never let go until he was satisfied with the lineup.
Manchester City also has a headache.
Yang Feng wanted Kroos, so they tried their best to argue with Bayern.
Guardiola, who had just arrived, didn't want to let him go, and Bayern was also very aggressive. Anyway, it didn't go well.
Director Yang’s first request was so difficult, and they couldn’t imagine what happened next, fearing that he would shout, “Get me Ronaldo/Messi/Iniesta, otherwise I will go to Real Madrid/Manchester United/ Chelsea."
But the name that came from behind Yang Feng left them confused.
Yang Feng kept his promise and did not interfere too much in Manchester City's transfer work. Apart from Kroos, there were only two people involved.
Manchester City's lineup itself is already strong enough, but what they lack is someone who can control the locker room. The most Yang Feng can do is make some enhancements based on them.
But it was these two people who made Manchester City CEO Soriano and sports director Begiristain live in peace.
"Who is Oblak?"
"Who is Kanter?"
"Oblak is the goalkeeper? Yang is not satisfied with Joe Hart?" Begiristain frowned.
Since 2007, Joe Hart has firmly occupied the position of Manchester City's No. 1 goalkeeper. He also helped Manchester City win the 2011-2012 Premier League championship and won the Premier League's Barclays Golden Glove Award twice in a row. The most important thing is that Hart It is also the national gate of England.
"I'm not satisfied either," Soriano said, "but shouldn't the ones who can replace Joe Hart be goalkeepers of the level of Casillas and Neuer?"
The most important thing for goalkeepers and defenders is stability, but Joe Hart is the most famous nerve-wracking player in the entire football world. He is amazing when he is good, but when he is pulling... Haha, when you meet Hartmon's kick, you think you are saying that Doing it for fun?
When Manchester City is not in danger, Hart is the biggest danger.
But the hell is here. Hart is a world-class goalkeeper no matter what, and he is also the only world-class goalkeeper they can currently get.
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
Top goalkeepers are as scarce as top strikers, and Manchester City, with its mediocre background, is not attractive to them in this regard.
Of course, they firmly believe that this is a way for Yang Feng to establish his power. By expelling the local bosses in the locker room, he declares to the players: Don't mess with me, otherwise I will let you go at any time.
Begiristain shook his head and continued to read the scouting report, "The Benfica goalkeeper is still on loan. And Kante, a 1.68-meter defensive player? Forget it, just buy it, just transfer from Yang. Just deduct a little change from the membership fee."
Both of these two people were poached from Barcelona by Manchester City, and they are not opposed to small players, but the problem is, Kante... from France C?
Maga, can I buy it to be a caddy? But at 22 years old, he is too old to be a football boy.
If Yang Feng hadn't stepped in, Oblak would have returned to Benfica after his loan at the end of this season. Then he became famous and was noticed by Atletico Madrid. Now he is only a little famous in the Portuguese Super League, so how expensive can he be.
Kante is even more funny. He is currently playing for the French third team Boulogne. After Boulogne knew that he was attracted by the rich, he immediately pretended to be calm and shouted out a high price of one million euros. However, Manchester City asked , the Mud Horse's Kanter contract has expired, and Boulogne has not renewed his contract at all. Kanter is now a free agent and can leave at will.
Accustomed to spending huge sums of money on people, Manchester City was not used to these two bargain-price transactions of Oblak and Kanter.
But what the heck, as long as people buy it, they will love how inexpensive you are.
Kroos's contract only expires in two years, so it's not easy to negotiate, but now the player is determined to leave. Manchester City directly threw 2,500 W in liquidated damages to get Kroos.
After the three were in place, Yang Feng also clearly rejected teams such as Real Madrid and Chelsea, and only waited for the specific personal treatment to be negotiated with Manchester City before officially transferring.
Yang Feng originally had De Bruyne in his plan, but Ding Ding is still training in the Bundesliga, and Manchester City now has no shortage of attacking midfielders. He is here to serve as a substitute for Kroos and Silva, so it is better to let him go first. Show your worth in Bremen.
Anyway, there is no need to help the oil trench save money.
Schalke 04 regrets it very much.
Kroos was kidnapped for 25 million, making Bayern a laughing stock, but they were not much better, because the liquidated damages they originally signed with Yang Feng was... 30 million.
Helter wanted to hit the wall.
A year ago, if someone had told him that a 19-year-old player could be sold for 30 million, he would have laughed in his dreams. But now, 30 million takes Yang Feng away?
He will become the biggest sinner in the entire history of Schalke 04!
He doesn't know, but he has learned his lesson. In the future, when teams renew contracts with players, they can set liquidated damages as outrageous as they can. Prices of 200 to 300 million are common, and damages of 900 billion are not uncommon.
Heldt can only make a fuss about Yang Feng. In addition to playing the emotional card, the most important thing is of course to encourage Yang Feng to cooperate and severely attack Manchester City. "If you think about it seriously, what else can be better than the No. 1 player in football history?" A transfer fee of one can better prove a player’s value and status?”
Regarding this kind of rhetoric, Yang Feng could only say hehe.
Bale is preparing to join Real Madrid with the highest price in football history, but so what? Is it a high status? Is he as tall as a director?
You want someone to spend 100 million to buy something that can be bought with 30 million? Wouldn't it be better if I asked him to use the 70 million to pay me my salary?
Of course, without the exaggerated contract from former director Shimu, Yang Feng would not have known that the bottom line of a wealthy club could be so low, and that it could lick a player like this. This also made him very tough in negotiations with Manchester City.
However, it is unrealistic for Manchester City to really take away Yang Feng for 30 million, as there are too many aspects involved.
After much back and forth, both sides agreed to take a step back: Schalke 04 would be less of a monster, while Manchester City would give more.
The transfer window opens on July 1st and ends on August 31st, and the major leagues will start around August 17th.
Generally speaking, blockbuster transfers are finalized at the last moment, because clubs that can't buy someone at that time start to get anxious, and it's easy to buy people at a premium when their heads are hot.
But this year is different. According to media reports, Neymar's father came to Barcelona in early June, agreed on the details of joining, and the two parties signed a contract as soon as the transfer window opened.
Neymar's transfer fee is 57 million euros, and there is a signing fee of 8 million euros. The annual salary is only 5 million euros, but there are many bonus clauses, which can ensure that he can get at least 49.5 million euros during the contract period.
Then there was Kroos joining Manchester City.
As an important member of Bayern's victory in the Champions League, Manchester City fans certainly warmly welcomed Kroos' joining, but before they had time to celebrate, bigger news came.
Yang Feng transferred to Blue Moon for a transfer fee of 50 million euros.
Manchester City fans were so happy that they almost died.
More details later came to light.
It is said that in addition to the transfer fee of 50 million euros, Manchester City also paid a signing fee of 30 million euros to get Yang Feng, and offered him a weekly salary of 300,000 euros, which made him surpass Robin van Persie and Rooney who exceeded 250,000 euros. , becoming the number one wage earner in the Premier League.
In addition, the most crazy thing is that they also gave Yang Feng 100% image rights, as well as the power to choose teammates and coaches.
As soon as the news came out, the entire football world went numb.
All Manchester City players are even more miserable.
The power to choose teammates?
What's the meaning?
Whether I can stay in Manchester City depends on this guy's face?
Coaches who are interested in Manchester City's coaching position are also speechless.
What about playing?
Who is the boss?
…
On the German side, Gelsenkirchen, which was still immersed in the joy of winning the championship, suddenly fell silent.
Yang Feng left for England, and Raul was finally able to make money contentedly, and this time he went not to Qatar, but directly to the Major League Soccer League.
The club issued a message to bid farewell to the two. At the press conference held immediately, Schalke manager Heldt said: Raul and Yang Feng’s No. 7 and No. 9 jerseys will be sealed for an uncertain period of time in the future. The two will be included in the team's Hall of Fame, and the club will also build two statues of Stevens and Yang Feng at the entrance of Veltins Arena.
Raul, who attended the press conference with tears in his eyes, thanked the club for their understanding and the fans for their support.
The team originally wanted to play a friendly match with Real Madrid as a farewell match for the two of them, but Real Madrid was sent home by Schalke 04 in the Champions League last season. They were frustrated in their pursuit of Yang Feng. When they were angry, they were sent home by Schalke 04. Schalke 04 has a shitty friendship.
What makes Florentino even more unhappy is that with the exposure of Yang Feng's contract, there are also twists and turns on Bell's side.
The Great Sage said that I am no worse than Yang Feng...how much? Why can he get so much?
I also want!
The director is so ridiculous, but you have to give me more image rights, right? The signing fee cannot be less, right? The annual salary is at least the same as that of Yang Feng, right?
Then Lafayette became unhappy. Lafayette got a little moody, so why did he go to play a game with Schalke?
If Real Madrid doesn't come, Raul's new club New York Cosmos happily takes over and will play a friendly match with Schalke 04 at the Veltins Arena on July 15.
Raul will represent the two teams in the first and second half respectively. Yang Feng, who disappeared for more than a month, finally appeared in the public eye again.
There was nothing to talk about during the competition, just kicking and showing off various skills, and many people didn't even break a sweat.
Everyone cooperated very well, and almost all opportunities were passed to Yang Feng and Raul, allowing both of them to score hat tricks.
In the 85th minute of the game, Stevens replaced Yang Feng with Sane.
Stevens hugged him tightly and said with a wry smile: "This is the last time I have to replace you..."
"Don't be like this, maybe there will be another chance in the future."
The old man's coaching career has been quite bumpy. Without Yang Feng, he would have been in and out of Schalke 04 four times. Maybe one day I will come back here to retire and meet him again.
The fans have been shouting Yang Feng's name emotionally.
After the game, Yang Feng had to circle the field and wave goodbye to the fans.
In the locker room, he wore the familiar No. 9 jersey and hugged his teammates one by one.
One of the biggest benefits of being a time traveler is that there are always various assignments to copy. After signing the contract with Manchester City, Yang Feng asked Strus to buy a batch of luxury watches and give them to his teammates and club staff.
This trick is called "Emotional Intelligence", copied from Haaland.
The media liked these things and immediately spent a lot of space on the report. They asked you clearly from the watch model to the price. The club staff who were soft-handed naturally also praised Yang Feng in various ways. Such affection The persona of being loyal and generous is finally established.
In fact, not only Yang Feng and Raul, but also other Schalke 04 players have suitors. However, Schalke 04 is still considered the top player in the Bundesliga after all, and they have not done anything to keep their reputation, and Yang Feng's brilliance is too great. Sheng, others couldn't sell it at a good price, so the main frame was still saved.
Hwedes hugged him and patted him hard on the back. "I really feel sorry for the defenders of the Premier League. What mistake did they make? They have to face you in two games throughout the season?"
"I'm getting better and better at talking," Yang Feng also reached out and patted him on the back, "But even so, I won't show mercy when we meet him in the Champions League."
Draxler kicked his butt in displeasure, "Honestly, did you leave because you thought British girls were more exciting than German girls?"
"...I really think Japanese girls are the most exciting. Should I go to the J-League?"
"Are you going to the J-League? Are you going to play eleven? A live-action version of Tsubasa Ozora?"
Before Draxler could speak, Farfan pushed him aside and hit Yang Feng on the chest, "Am I not the one you will thank when you win the Golden Globe Award in the future?"
"...Did you and Hewedes go to the same language training class? One is better at speaking than the other?"
Sane said gloomily: "Yang, can we still play football together in the future?"
"Can't you just go to Manchester City?"
"real?"
"You still want to hook up with me?" Yang Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on! Work hard! Fight!"
He said, turning his head and looking at his teammates who were still a little reluctant to leave.
"Goodbye, everyone."
The green hills are everlasting and the green waters are everlasting. Let’s see you again in the world.
