After receiving financial support from the Qataris, Manchester United's successive moves to introduce strong players immediately attracted strong attention from fans and the media!
Although the departure of Roy Keane is regrettable, the newcomers Hargreaves and Park Ji-sung have greatly made up for the vacancy left by the Irishman's departure. Coupled with Carrick and Fletcher who are already on the team, Manchester United's hardness and field control ability in the middle of the midfield can be said to be increasing!
The most important thing is that without Keane, who has become a powder keg and super troll in the locker room, the atmosphere in the Manchester United team has become harmonious. The players can finally settle down and carry out the tasks assigned by Ferguson seriously, without having to worry about others criticizing their performance!
You know, when Keane was still playing at Manchester United, other players not only had to meet Ferguson's requirements, but also had to make Keane happy. Otherwise, they still cannot escape the fate of being scolded.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo in the previous life and Joaquín in this life were scolded by Keane in their first few years at Manchester United. The reason is simply because Keane himself believes that they did not try their best on the field or were too weak. As the captain of the team, he needs to personally "educate" these little guys!
Everyone has a temper. If it was Roy Keane at his peak, then his criticisms would still be heard by Joaquin and others. And now, Keane's performance on the court, which is declining, is sometimes worse than theirs. Why would he dare to point fingers at them after the game?
Let’s stop talking about Manchester United for now, let’s get down to business now. After seeing Manchester United's big moves in the transfer market, other giant clubs have also accelerated their signings. In any case, these clubs have long been accustomed to being the focus of the media and fans in the summer transfer market. How can the Red Devils be allowed to dominate at this time!
No, not long after Manchester United signed Hargreaves at a high price of 26 million euros, news came out from Barcelona, announcing that PSV Eindhoven's main midfielder, Dutch international Mark van Bommel, had become the club's main midfielder. A member of the Catalan giants. And most importantly, since Van Bommel is a free transfer at the end of his contract, this signing did not cost Barcelona a penny in transfer fees!
The most dissatisfied with this is undoubtedly the Eindhoven club. You know, these players have been trained by them with countless efforts, and now they are picked by other clubs casually, in exchange for a pitiful transfer fee. How can such a result satisfy the Dutch giants who rely on reselling players to make profits?
To be honest, the PSV hierarchy have nothing to complain about. The Bosman Act has been in effect for nearly ten years now. They still haven't learned their lesson and renewed the contracts of the main players early. They have to wait until the players are famous and their contracts are about to expire before they know how to worry. They deserve to be beaten in the end. It’s all in vain!
Arch-rival Barcelona has strengthened its lineup, and Real Madrid is naturally not far behind. After experiencing another season in which all four major teams were defeated, Florentino had to modify the "Zidane + Pavin" policy and launched a blood-changing operation for the first team according to George's suggestion!
As a result, Arbeloa, De La Red, Negredo and other young people from Real Madrid's youth training finally waited for the call from the first team this summer. The selection of these young players who have performed well in the youth team has given Real Madrid fans who have always criticized Lafayette for not paying attention to youth training a glimmer of hope that the Five Eagles era will come again. At the same time, the joining of players such as Baptista, Diogo, Cicinho and Sergio Ramos shows that Florentino's recruitment ideas have changed, and he has begun to shift from introducing famous superstars to cultivating them. Potential new star!
In order to make room for these young people, and also to prove to the fans his determination and courage to replace the new generation, Florentino sold Figo, who conflicted with Beckham and was no longer popular, to Internazionale for zero transfer fee. Milan. Of course, the reason why Lafayette did not charge a dollar transfer fee for Figo's transfer is because the Portuguese superstar is about to turn thirty-three years old. It is basically impossible to sell a player of this age for a high price. It is better to do A free favor to mend the relationship with Inter Milan; on the other hand, it is because doing so can effectively alleviate conflicts in the locker room, and the saved salary and playing time can be distributed to other players. Naturally, Florentino couldn't let go of a good thing like killing two birds with one stone!
At the same time, Owen, who had been in the starting position for a season, also got his wish and left the Bernabeu Stadium. However, the former trend-chasing boy did not choose to return to his old club Liverpool to play football. Instead, he joined Newcastle United, which performed poorly last season. And Owen's transfer fee of up to 16 million pounds also broke the Magpies' historical record for signings!
The departure of Figo and Owen marked the beginning of the end of Florentino's superstar policy. If nothing else happens, declining superstars such as Ronaldo, Carlos, and Zidane will soon follow in Figo's footsteps and leave the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium one after another in the next few years!
Of course, Florentino will not be so stupid as to purge all the superstars from the team. If they do that, then what Real Madrid will face this season will not be a complete defeat, but a complete defeat!
Although Irving claimed that the reason why he did not return to Liverpool was because the Red Army senior management and head coach Benitez were unwilling to pay a transfer fee that satisfied Real Madrid for him, all fans who still remember how Irving transferred to Real Madrid last year did not I believe what he said.
You know, in order to achieve the goal of playing at the Bernabeu, Owen secretly joined forces with Real Madrid to lower the price, and finally successfully transferred to Real Madrid at a bargain price of 8 million pounds. As a result, the Red Army, which was in financial difficulties, did not receive enough transfer funds for reconstruction. And now, he actually said that Liverpool is unwilling to pay a transfer fee that satisfies Real Madrid (especially since the price is double the price when Liverpool sold Owen). What a ridiculous thing!
Therefore, what Owen did at this time completely angered Liverpool fans. It is true that Liverpool's treatment is not as good as Newcastle's, and it cannot pay a transfer fee that satisfies Real Madrid. But since you can put pressure on Liverpool to transfer to Real Madrid, why can't you do it again to return to Liverpool?
It was from this moment on that no Liverpool fan regarded Owen as one of their own, but as a Judas-like existence! At the same time, Owen's reputation in English football has also become extremely bad because of these two transfers!
Except for Irving's die-hard fans, who would believe the words of a player who forced his home team to release him at a low price, and then asked his home team to buy him back at a high price after he failed to do well outside?
