The summer of 2009 was a crazy summer.
European football is in turmoil, and several transfers that shocked Europe have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Among the five major leagues, La Liga is at the center of the shock.
The restoration of Florentino this summer immediately put Real Madrid back into the spotlight. Four superstars, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Xavi Alonso, came to invest one after another. Three powerful players, Albiol, Granero and Arbeloa, quickly joined. Florentino 2.57 The investment of 100 million euros created a record of money burning in football, and Real Madrid also obtained the most luxurious lineup in the world. In terms of cleaning, Real Madrid sent away first-line players such as Heinze, Cannavaro, Huntelaar, Sneijder, and Robben. It also sold or rented out a group of young players to get training.
Under the pressure of Lafayette to reorganize the new Galaxy, Laporta was also forced to invest heavily in the transfer market, with total expenditure reaching 111.5 million euros. Ibrahimovic joined for 68 million euros, making Zlatan the most valuable player in the team's history. , Zygrinski is Barcelona's most expensive central defender at 25 million euros, Brazilian new striker Callison is worth 14 million euros, Maxwell is Barcelona's only cost-effective newcomer this summer, and the former Inter Milan left back is worth only 4.5 million euros. In terms of cleaning, Barcelona gave away a large number of players for free. Eto'o was discounted to 20 million euros to become Ibrahimovic's transfer partner. Cáceres's loan fee was only 1 million euros. Sylvinho and Holkera , Enrique is given away for free, which makes the team's first lineup seriously short of manpower.
Looking back at the Premier League, the traditional top four keep a low profile and there are no too conspicuous transfers. On the contrary, Manchester City in the hands of the Abu Dhabi consortium continues to spend a lot of money. Tevez became the top bidder of the Premier League this summer with 32 million euros. Lescott, Toure, Adebayor and others are also valuable.
The most prominent Serie A team this year is Inter Milan. Mourinho used the transfer fee from selling Ibrahimovic to introduce many strong players, including Milito, Lucio, Sneijder, Motta and many other powerful stars. Join the team. Juventus, AC Milan and other teams have made little moves and basically maintained their original lineups.
This summer's Bundesliga transfer market has set off another craze. Led by Bayern's investment of 75 million euros, the arrival of many stars has also excited fans. Not only has the transfer fee record reached a new high, but it has also brought new opportunities to the Bundesliga. Including stars such as Robben and Martins who have played for Real Madrid, Inter Milan and other giants, this also makes people look forward to the Bundesliga in the new season.
The Ligue 1 team is as low-key as ever, and it’s not because they are poor...
Faced with these situations, "France Football" published a commentary article expressing concern about the future of Ligue 1.
"There are always people who say French Ligue 1 is not strong enough and cannot compare with other major leagues. Some people even suggest that the title of the five major European leagues should be changed to the four major European leagues. Of course, we are definitely not convinced. But look at the transfer situation during the season. We have to admit that the current strength and influence of Ligue 1 cannot be compared with the other four major leagues."
"All French Ligue 1 teams have not made any big moves this summer. Perhaps none of the leagues have spent as much as Real Madrid in La Liga. Not only that, our top star in Ligue 1 has been poached repeatedly. Lyon striker Benzema switched to After Real Madrid, Monaco’s core offensive player Chen Tao also left for England and became a member of the Gunners. The situation of making ends meet is common among Ligue 1 teams. I really don’t know where the future of Ligue 1 lies…”
"Le Parisien" conducted a detailed analysis of Monaco's player situation, but the words were full of sourness. Especially when they saw Chen Tao leaving the team, they looked like they were gloating.
"Monaco is very lucky this season. They won the domestic triple crown and took the first step towards revival. But although this is the starting point, it is also likely to be the end. Because they started a tragedy - Monaco Supermarket It’s open!”
"This situation will happen to many teams. They were very impressive in the previous season and are fighting for relegation in the next season. Because the team's financial strength is insufficient, they need to sell players to survive. For example, Monaco now, they have already taken their own ownership. The star Chen Tao was sold to Arsenal. Not only that, it is said that Wenger is still seeking to buy Dong Fangzhuo, and many players such as Flamini, Ujfalusi, Kompany, etc. are also being targeted, maybe using It won’t be long before Monaco will be completely hollowed out.”
In Prince Albert's office, Albert was chatting with Yun Sheng about the transfer situation in the new season.
"Yunsheng, we have been very successful this season. I am very satisfied with your coaching. What do you think about this transfer period? Don't worry, I will fully support you, whether it is funds or rights, I will fully support you!"
"Thank you, Your Highness. I have some plans and I am still considering the staffing. The team will fight on four fronts next season, and the team will inevitably undergo a lot of changes during this transfer period."
"I still say what I said, full support! All the funds left by Chen Tao's transfer will be given to you! Not only that, I have also prepared another 30 million euros for you. If it is not enough, I will still have it! And the players in the current team , as long as you don’t want to sell, he has to stay in the team, no matter how much money others give, I won’t be tempted!”
Seeing the high-spirited Prince Albert, Yun Sheng was very moved.
When I was in Cottbus, where could I get such treatment?
Yun Sheng said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, the money is in place. The next step is to select the target and negotiate. In fact, in the transfer market, the most troublesome issue now is not the issue of funds, but the issue of influence. Let alone Monaco. , now the influence of the entire Ligue 1 league has dropped sharply, and is getting worse. As a result, even if we have money, the other club may not agree, but the other players may not agree. This is the biggest trouble."
Prince Albert frowned: "This problem is difficult to deal with. How about we increase the salary level and use high salaries to attract players?"
Yun Sheng waved his hand: "This won't work. On the one hand, it will disrupt the team's normal deployment and affect the team's healthy salary structure; on the other hand, players attracted by big prices will not be loyal enough to the team. Although we They are mercenaries, but they are still a wealthy club, and we need our own loyal force."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I already have candidate targets. I will finalize them in the next two days and then formally make an offer to the opposing club. If these players can join Monaco, then we will not only greatly increase the possibility of defending the league championship next season, but also Even in the Champions League, we can be competitive enough and go further!"
