Now that the European Cup, which attracts the fans’ attention most, has come to an end, it is natural for these heavy news to be made public.
On July 5th, before fully recovering from the influence of the European Cup, the fans learned two heavy news through the media: Chelsea’s main central defender, English new international john terry and Portuguese main central defender Ricardo Carvalho officially joined Inter Milan!
The two signings of Mo Da Boss naturally caused a shock in European football. Although these two deals were finalized before the season, no one except Zhuang Ge thought that Terry and Carvalho would be so capable at the end of the season, one became the main central defender of the Champions League and the other became the mainstay of Portugal’s defense!
Although the host country stopped in the semifinals of the European Cup, everyone can see that Carvalho has improved the Portuguese defense, so in the eyes of professionals, Carvalho’s transfer is as good as Terry’s!
The most important thing is that after Terry and Carvalho joined the team, Cannavaro and Materazzi’s Nerazzurri had four firstclass central defenders in the central defender position, and their defensive strength suddenly rose several grades.
For this, more than a dozen other Serie A clubs have cursed Inter Milan in their heartsonce you get four worldclass central defenders in the team, even defenders like Cordoba can go to the side to find a life, can you let people play well?
Although the transfer of Terry and Carvalho was shocking enough, because of the location of the venue, the twoperson meeting was announced by the media as early as the winter break, which made the fans psychologically shocked and weakened a lot, and naturally the effect was greatly reduced. In fact, most of the coaches were scared by this news because they could realize that Inter Milan’s move brought them great threats.
If that transfer of Terry and Carvalho was not shocking enough, then most fans were stunned by the news that Liverpool was a double star, and the England national team’s leading striker once joined Real Madrid’s flag Raul as a chasing teenager, michael owen, for 120,000 euros to transfer to Real Madrid!
Chapter 122 Summer situation (2)
Real Madrid’s € 120,000 transfer to buy Liverpool star michael owen has triggered a strong earthquake in European football as soon as it was announced by the media!
Although florentino has well fulfilled his promise of being a superstar every year in the election campaign since he came to Real Madrid in two years, he has brought international superstars such as Figo, Zida and Ronaldo Beckham to the Bernabeu Stadium in the past four years, but no one can imagine that florentino actually dug up the Liverpool pillar this year and it was still 120,000 euros at a low price!
So with the announcement of this news, Real Madrid’s popularity among fans has soared again, chasing Florence to become one of the two football clubs with the highest commercial value and the strongest ability to attract gold in the world in the semifinal of the Champions League!
If it weren’t for Antonio, how could you have stopped Owen from going to Real Madrid? We would have been Inter Milan! At Zhuang Ge’s invitation, Moratti came to his villa in Florence to be a guest. While watching Shili holding a Real Madrid jersey and laughing at Owen, he complained discontentedly, Gee, 10,000 pounds (at that time, 120,000 euros was about 10,000 pounds). Real Madrid really took advantage of it this time!
Having said that, Moratti didn’t blame Zhuang Ge for his meaning. The boss knew very well how vicious Zhuang Ge’s eyes were, so he decided to stop when Zhuang Ge stopped him and didn’t get involved in Owen’s transfer.
Hehe, Massimo, relax. Owen will regret it sooner or later. Zhuang Ge smiled and poured Moratti a cup of tea to comfort him. Although Owen’s playing style and technical characteristics are very suitable for Inter Milan, which is the main defensive counterattack team, don’t forget that Owen’s injuries have not stopped since the injury in 1999. Frequent injuries have seriously affected his state and speed, and once he loses his speed and technical skills, he is just an experienced man. Besides, you have two firstclass strikers, Crespo and Mutu, and the younger generation, as well as Martins and Caron. Their introduction of bigname stars like Owen will inevitably squeeze other lives and cause unnecessary locker room conflicts.
In Zhuang Ge’s view, Owen’s choice is really unwise. Don’t say that Owen is the top scorer in Liverpool and the first choice on the offensive end. Even if manager Benitez doesn’t like Owen, it is impossible for him to be removed from the starting list and moved to Real Madrid without injury. Before there were two superstars, the alien Ronaldo and the local flag Raul, and after that, the local forces, such as Morientes and Portilho, were eyeing Owen. It is certainly impossible for him to be as beautiful as when he was at Liverpool, and he may even be a substitute.
Well, there is some truth in what you said. After listening to Zhuang Ge’s explanation, Moratti stopped pestering on this topic and continued to talk with the other side about the general trend of European football transfer
Back to Owen’s transfer, after the transaction was completed, the only firstclass star in the team and the ace of the team’s front line were sold. However, Liverpool Football Club did not receive much condemnation and protest from Liverpool fans, but Owen received more condemnation and criticism.
This situation is mainly due to the fact that Owen played a disgraceful role in this transfer to Real Madrid. Liverpool discovered and trained the star Owen. First, he refused to renew the contract with Real Madrid, and then joined hands with Real Madrid to lower the price, which made his old club Liverpool suffer a big loss in the transfer market. What Owen did this summer really hurt Liverpool’s hearts.
To be honest, it’s a big deal for Owen, a star with ideals and pursuits, to move to another team with the championship trophy, but it’s really unreasonable to help Real Madrid bargain with him when he plans to leave his home team and refuse to renew his contract with Liverpool, forcing the Red Army to sell the leading striker 10 thousand pounds of cabbage to Real Madrid.
You know, Owen is a twotime winner of the Golden Boot in the Premier League, and he won a Golden Globe Award in Europe in 21 years with the result of five championships. Although the competitive state has slipped due to the team’s record and injuries in the past two years, it is absolutely impossible for other teams to introduce him without paying 20 million euros in real money, but Real Madrid finally got the transfer at 120,000 yuan. Who would believe it without Owen’s pressure?
So when Owenli refused to renew his contract with only one year left, he put pressure on Liverpool to force the top management of the Red Army to agree to Real Madrid’s offer of 120,000 euros, and this became a thorn in the heart of Liverpool fans and blocked Owen’s way back to Liverpool.
After all, when the team was in financial difficulties, Owen refused to renew the contract and kept down the price with Real Madrid, which caused Liverpool to suffer a lot of economic losses, resulting in that they didn’t have enough funds to transform the team and could barely make ends meet by robbing Peter to pay Paul … Liverpool Football Club will definitely be dissatisfied with Owen after eating a big loss.
Owen’s transfer was like a starting gun, which completely detonated the European football transfer market in four summers. For example, how could Abramovich, a Russian tycoon who was bent on expanding his influence with football, let Real Madrid take the limelight?
So after a short dormant period, Lazio finally made a move in the transfer market. On July 1st, Lazio officially announced that they had transferred 10,000 euros from Florence to buy its main right winger Frenchman ludovic giuly! At the same time, the Biancocelesti also announced that they have brought in edgar davids, who played a worldclass performance on loan in Barcelona from Juventus!
Obviously, Abramovich controls Lazio and intends to show his talents in the transfer market this summer. This time, their goal of poaching is no longer limited to those secondrate clubs. After playing a wonderful season and qualifying for the Champions League, the Biancocelesti has the confidence to wrestle with those big clubs.
Chapter 123 Summer situation (3)
I have to say that without kenyon, a professional mastermind, Abramovich is a layman. There is still a big gap between running a football club and florentino. Compared with Real Madrid’s move to buy Owen, Lazio’s two signings are equally famous, but their influence is much worse. Many fans glance at the news that Davis Wakuri joined the Blue Eagle at most and then turn their heads to note Owen. Who makes Owen more famous and exposed than Davis and others?
Although the superstar strategy seems very simple in the eyes of fans, it is only necessary to constantly acquire some bigname stars, but it is not easy to actually play this strategy welldon’t you know that cragnotti spent a lot of money in the transfer market at the turn of the century, but its influence was finally overwhelmed by Real Madrid.
However, other Serie A teams soon moved their eyes away from Real Madrid in the summer transfer market. After all, Real Madrid brought in Owen this summer, and in the face of the joint impact of Serie A powers, it will naturally appear that it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.
First of all, after a 34year failure in Juventus, Mo Lao Fox made up his mind to carry out a largescale change of blood for the team this summer, so Lippi fell to Moggi’s butcher’s knife in the second palace of Juventus, but his successor was very different from Zhuang Ge’s previous life. At Moggi’s invitation, trapattoni, who had just led Italy to the European Cup, picked up the Bianconeri coach for the fourth time and became the new coach of Juventus!
Here is a supplement: after leading Italy to successfully defend the Delao Cup, trapattoni chose to retire after success rather than continue to lead Italy to the World Cup in Germany two years later. Although Italy is still the biggest favourite to win the World Cup in 6 now, trapattoni resigned from the Italian national team coach after the European Cup.
After trapattoni’s departure, the Italian Football Association immediately called representatives of major clubs to hold a new round of talks on the selection of national team coach, and finally decided to hire Roman coach fabio capello as the new coach of the Italian national team!
At this time, Capello was very dissatisfied with the reduction of investment in the transfer market by the Roma club, believing that he was bound by the old Sensi’s practice to display his talents. Therefore, when the Italian Football Association sent an invitation to Capello, the gold medal coach immediately nodded and agreed, without considering the feelings of Rome.
So history changed in this way. trapattoni resigned and Capello became the new coach of the Italian national team. Juventus laid their eyes on trapattoni, an old acquaintance. The only misfortune was Lippi, who should have been the coach of the Azzurri in the original history. At this time, Silver Fox was facing the dilemma of being idle at home. Now almost all the top Serie A teams have just welcomed a new coach or are very satisfied with the existing coach of the team. It is naturally not a simple matter for Lippi to find a satisfactory job.
This situation is mainly due to Juventus’ poor performance in the season. In Florence and Milan, Rome joined hands to suppress the serious aging of the team. At the end of the season, the Bianconeri didn’t even get a Champions League seat, which had a serious impact on the selection of the Bianconeri’s coaches. Many wellknown coaches refused Moggi’s invitation to play in the Champions League. Capello is one of themCapello is not interested in coaching a team that can’t even play in the Champions League, even though the name of the club is Juventus.
To know the current situation of the team when choosing a club, and whether they can participate in European competitions, their own words about the team are often the most important things for the head coach. They don’t want to accidentally jump into a fire pit and ruin their hardearned savings for many years.
That is to say, trapattoni, who has a lot of feelings for Juventus and is successful, would not have the courage to take over this hot potato at this time.
After that, trapattoni immediately showed a drastic reform in Juventus. Moggi financially supported coach Ferrari and brought a lot of strong support to the Bianconeri in Italian football. For example, two Roma generals Emerson and Zebina Lazio’s main midfielder giuliano giannichedda all became Juventus’ battles this summer.
AC Milan has also made a big move this summer. First, they hired Dutch international Stam from Florence for a transfer of 150,000 euros, and then they flirted with Czech international Garasek and jankulovski. Obviously, Galliani wanted to enhance the team’s competitiveness in Serie A as soon as possible by introducing instant combat and let AC Milan return to the top giants.
After Inter Milan finalized the deal between Terry and Carvalho, Faccetti set his sights on shining in the justconcluded Portuguese European Cup and made an offer of 10,000 euros!
Although Parma and Roma are often poached in the transfer market due to the limited financial resources of the club, this does not mean that they cannot create some transfer transactions that attract the attention of fans. For example, Parma has just officially announced that Tevez and Mascherano have officially become members of the milk corps; Roma also recruited a new midfielder Matuzalen from Brescia to make up for Emerson’s departure and stay in midfield.
Terry, Carvalho, Davis, Giuly, Emerson, Ronaldo, Tevez, Javier Mascherano … These series of star names are stacked together, even Owen’s aura can compete, so the attention of a series of boxing fans in Serie A teams was quickly attracted to the fact that the Apennine Peninsula no longer continued to make big news about Owen’s joining Real Madrid.
In this way, in the increasingly fierce arms race of Serie A clubs, florentino’s superstar strategy suffered a major blow in the fourth year of implementation!
Chapter 124 Summer situation (4)
It is not surprising that florentino’s superstar strategy has been hit so hard this summer. After all, compared with such superstars as Figo, Zida, Ronaldo and even Beckham, Owen is not only inferior to them in fame and personal honor, but also much worse in goldabsorbing ability and commercial value. In addition, Owen’s disgraceful performance in the process of moving to Real Madrid this time has greatly damaged his personal image, and when he moved to Real Madrid, he did not have so many reasons when Figo defected from Barcelona, which made many fans unwilling to continue to follow up on his news.
The most important thing is that no matter how you look at it, the price of 120,000 euros is not like a top superstar’s due value, and Owen lacks Beckham’s strong appeal, which leads to the situation that Real Madrid attracts fans’ attention through huge transfer in France and can’t think of a better way to make this transaction more shocking.
These factors together make it difficult for Real Madrid to attract the attention of world fans to their ammunition depot by introducing a top superstar as in previous years. There are not many bullets left, and they can watch Italian teams make waves in the transfer market.
However, unlike the Serie A giants who are recruiting in the transfer market, Florence, the Italian football overlord, has been extremely silent since the arrival of this summer. Instead of making any heavy signings after the transfer door, she has sent away many players.
After the summer transfer market opened, Florence not only sold the team’s main right winger Giuly to Lazio, but also completed several transactions. In order to get more appearances, Serbia and Montenegro striker Vucinic submitted a transfer application to the team and finally transferred Zeman to coach Sampdoria for 50,000 euros. He believed that the Czech coach could better explore his offensive potential. After the European Cup, Stam announced his retirement from the national team and went to AC Milan for 150,000 euros. His compatriot Seedorf was in Milan to welcome him. Compared with Florence, which has never stopped changing blood, Stam, who is 32 years old, obviously prefers the atmosphere of AC Milan. You know that the Rossoneri led by Galliani like Stam very much, a veteran who has just passed his peak and has rich experience. The key point is that Stam is the cheapest one among all defenders with similar abilities!
Of course, although there are still some promising central defenders in the transfer market, they may be cheaper than Stam, but Galliani does not believe that these young players are inexperienced, and they are likely to lose their chains at the crucial moment, thus ruining the team’s efforts for a season.
The evaluation of Galliani’s idea of signing is that the high salary paid by AC Milan to lure these veterans to join freely is enough to spend all the transfer in Gatoradewant to support a giant club by signing and veterans? Is this brain kicked by a donkey?
In addition, albertini did not choose to renew his contract with Fiorentina after the expiration of the contract, but went to Barcelona freely. After two seasons of outstanding performance and several championship trophies, he gave a slap in the face and abandoned his AC Milan management. He did not want to play against the home team again.
Diego simeone, another veteran of the Florence team, also announced his retirement after the European Cup. However, the former Argentine international did not bid farewell to Florence, but changed his identity and continued to play for Violaafter Zhuang Ge suggested that Simone agree to take over Mourinho’s promotion to the first team coach, he remained as the second team coach of Florence!
After Simone announced his retirement, a series of players were transferred out. There are 21 players left in Florence’s first team. Although this number is enough for the average team to last for a season, it is obviously far from enough for Florence, which needs a thirdline battle and a week’s double match. Because of the tremendous pressure, players need to take breaks in the season to ensure their physical fitness and state. If Florence has 21 players in the new season, once the team is injured or the players’ state fluctuates, Viola will not be far from collapse.
However, what puzzles everyone is that even if it is necessary to sign, Florence still hasn’t moved, let alone bought people. Every day, the paparazzi follow Florence’s highlevel officials everywhere and don’t even find any news of the transfer!
Does Florence really intend to solve the shortage of manpower by tapping the potential of the first team? This is not too confident!
Boss, should it be about time now? Sitting in Zhuang Ge’s office, Mourinho said with a smile, If you don’t bring in a few reinforcements, it is estimated that we will face a group of stronger competitors when the strength of the new season is greatly weakened. If we can’t win the championship trophy then, don’t let me take the blame.
