Chapter 294 Transfer Work in the Summer
While the Hong Kong team was preparing for the intense battle, the transfer market in Europe was turbulent, and the summer transfer was destined to be extraordinary from the very beginning.
As one of the top five leagues in Europe, the Premier League has become a gathering place for various transfers as in previous years.
Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, several major clubs are the most.
First, Manchester United sold 50 million euros, taking away Anderson, who played for Porto and Nani, who played for Sporting Lisbon, from Portugal, and then Robben transferred to Real Madrid for 37 million euros, while Chelsea only received one lesser-known Belle. tee. As a traditional giant, Liverpool are not to be outdone. They are negotiating the transfer of 'New Kluivert' Babel with Ajax in the Netherlands. Babel is another emerging talent of Ajax. At the same time, this year's transfer Arsenal, which was not very active in the market, also sold, and they spent 12 million euros to buy Croatian striker Da Silva.
Among these big-ticket transfers, there are still a lot of transfer news being reported.
Some of these news are true or false. The same thing is that they all involve players one by one. Various media are also constantly analyzing transfers. Manchester City's transfers are all being 'analyzed', because Manchester City has not yet decided to reach a deal. There are transfer rumors for all players in the team, such as David Silva, Koppelle Ferreira, etc., but no news has been confirmed. At this time, the Manchester City media suddenly broke the news -- Atletico Madrid's genius, 'Spanish Golden Boy' Fernando Torres will officially join Manchester City when the transfer window opens on July 1!
This news is quite amazing, not worse than the transfer of Chelsea star Robben.
When the Manchester City media revealed this news, the entire Manchester, and even the whole of England, European football was shocked!
Everyone knows that Torres is a true Spanish genius. Among the strikers, he is the top player, and many giants are eyeing him. Secretly, the giants do not know how many times they have played against each other, although Manchester City and Liverpool are the most sincere and have the highest bids. But it's not just these two clubs who have private contact with Torres.
but now. Manchester City won Torres!
Some people looked at each other in dismay, and many teams were still preparing to continue making offers. They didn't expect Torres' transfer to be finalized so quickly. They were a little stunned.
Many media went to Atlético de Madrid and wanted to verify the authenticity of this news.
So both clubs announced the transfer on their official websites.
"...We are very grateful to Torres for the wonderful goals he helped the team score at Atlético de Madrid, they are all good memories, but for Torres. He should go to the wider sky. There is more outside. A wonderful world awaits him, so they wish him success at Manchester City!"
This is Atlético de Madrid's report on Torres' transfer.
In fact, Atletico Madrid is in a special period, and it is difficult to take the team out of the predicament with Torres alone.
Because Torres is too good, the team is playing according to his own ideas. It is difficult to drive the team to make good progress by relying on Torres alone. His staying will have some impact on the team. Out of consideration, Atletico Madrid also intends to sell him in exchange for cash to add fresh blood to the team. The two sides discussed the joint decision of Torres' transfer.
Therefore, the Atlético de Madrid club did not hold back on Torres' departure. Even Atlético de Madrid fans sincerely hope that their 'small captain' can succeed in the Premier League, and hope that one day, when Torres becomes famous, he will be able to A chance to return to the Calderon Stadium.
However, Torres is leaving after all, and it is impossible for Atlético de Madrid to report.
In contrast, Manchester City's report is much more enthusiastic, they seem to introduce Torres to the fans in detail, "Torres is Spain's most outstanding talent shooter in recent years. At the age of 18, he played for Atlético Madrid in the Spanish Football League. , and played 40 games in two seasons, scoring 20 goals."
"After that, Torres participated in the Atlético de Madrid Super League game. So far, Torres has played 244 games for Atlético de Madrid and scored 91 goals."
"...he's just turned 23 and he's already so good."
The number of goals is the most telling. Torres has scored so many goals in the Spanish league, it shows his strength, not to mention, he is also the captain of Atlético de Madrid.
After the introduction, Manchester City Club welcomed Torres, "We are very honored to announce this news - Atlético de Madrid captain Torres, will officially join Manchester City Club on July 1, next season we will be able to Saw him in action at the Manchester Stadium!"
The two clubs together confirmed the transfer of Torres, which shocked the world of football.
Soon many media analyzed Torres' transfer to Manchester City. According to previous media reports, Torres is likely to choose Liverpool, because Liverpool is a traditional giant, and Benitez is also a Spanish coach. He is more attractive to Torres. .
But now Torres chose Manchester City, so the media began to analyze what Torres' transfer would bring to Manchester City.
It goes without saying that it is the countdown to Anelka's departure!
In fact, the news of Anelka's departure has spread like wildfire before the season is over. This is no secret in European football, but Anelka is the top scorer in the Premier League, and there are many clubs who want him. Like Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and even Bayern Munich are associated with Anelka's name, but Anelka is not 'sure' to go, there is no confirmed news in the media that Anelka Will definitely leave Manchester City.
However, Torres is here, and Anelka will definitely leave.
Mainly because Manchester City's striker is too gorgeous, Anelka, Torres, plus Darren - Bent, three forward players, no matter which one is qualified to be the main striker of the top team, but Manchester City has three.
It's good news that there are more good players, but players will definitely be dissatisfied with the position, and it is impossible for any team to have three outstanding shooters.
Comparatively speaking, Darren Bent is definitely impossible to leave, because his agent has publicly stated that Darren Bent will not leave Manchester City. Manchester City also rejected all offers for Darren Bent. They have no reason to sell young talent to other teams, so Anelka can only go.
Another point is the transfer value of Torres.
Although neither Manchester City nor Atletico Madrid have announced it, there is still some speculation in the media. "Manchester Sporting" said. Torres' worth at least not less than 35 million euros.
This is still the lowest estimate.
Spain's "Aspen" believes that "Torres will not be less than Robben's transfer worth", if the "Aspen" speculation is correct, then the transfer is likely to reach 40 million euros.
Wansheng, who is in Hong Kong, just glanced at these European reports and didn't read much.
He was looking forward to Torres' arrival.
At the same time he is also very aware of Torres' transfer fee - 39 million euros. Aspen's prediction was accurate. Indeed more than Robben's worth.
This is mainly because of Torres's 'commercial value'.
Torres' personal ability and performance are actually not much better than Robben, but the key is that he is the golden boy of Spain and is very popular with fans in Spain. Such a player will naturally be much more valuable.
What Wansheng cares more about is Torres' ability.
39 million euros to buy a player, this is Wan Sheng's biggest deal since he took over as coach, but he hopes that Torres' performance can be worthy of his worth, and the money is worth spending.
Wansheng is confident in this.
Torres is very capable. Already the world's top striker, certainly no worse than Anelka. Then coupled with the attributes and skill bonuses of the football training master, his performance will definitely not be worse than Anelka.
Next season, with Torres and Darren Bent on the team, there is no need to worry about the striker.
At this time, Wansheng still has some transfer funds that can be used, but he is not in a hurry to buy players, but is waiting for other news. In fact, the biggest news of Manchester City Club recently is not only the transfer of Torres, but more important Yes, the club is funded by a Thai consortium.
Wan Sheng, as the head coach, naturally knows that the two sides have finalized the decision in the past two days.
————
Sure enough, two days later, there was news that the Thai consortium invested in Manchester City.
Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra held a press conference and publicly announced that he would spend 143 million pounds to acquire Manchester City Club. His offer has been accepted by the Manchester City club board.
Just a day before Thaksin's announcement, Thailand's prosecutorial department formally filed charges of abuse of power with Thaksin, but the "light" of this news soon overshadowed the news that Thaksin planned to buy Manchester City club, and Thailand's criminal prosecution Thaksin did not affect Thaksin's acquisition plan at all.
Thaksin, through his British sports investment company, proposed the takeover of Manchester City, which was immediately approved by the club's board.
In a joint statement, Manchester City chairman Wadder said: "This acquisition offers Manchester City an exciting development opportunity."
Thaksin will pay £51.6 million in cash up front for the acquisition.
The Thai authorities have been surprisingly calm about Thaksin's huge acquisition of Manchester City. Thai officials said it was Thaksin's own business. Thai National Security Council spokesman San Sen said that Thaksin's acquisition plan shows that Thailand's "******* department is only freezing the property suspected of being obtained through illegal means." Money, doing such a big business is his personal business, and we won't interfere."
The announcement caused an uproar.
Some British media believe that Thaksin chose to acquire Manchester City at this sensitive period, intending to use the influence of the Premier League in Thailand to use Manchester City as a bargaining chip to maintain its influence in the Thai public for a long time.
"Many Thais are Premier League fans and Thaksin knows what attracts their attention," said Khun, a Bangkok-based pollster. "This deal will allow his influence to permeate all classes in Thailand."
But others believe that the rationale behind the Manchester City purchase may be more than just politics.
"Politically, this will keep Thai voters from forgetting him," said Somchai Somchai, a political science expert at Thammasat University in Thailand. The deal could also help Thaksin move some of his money from the country, and it could also be a profitable and successful investment. ."
No matter what the reasons for Thaksin to acquire Manchester City Club, it is certain that Manchester City Club will receive capital injection. At the same time, Manchester City Club is likely to usher in the transfer of rights - Thaksin will take over the chairmanship of the club.
Waddell had already informed Wansheng of the situation.
Although Wansheng is in Hong Kong, he knows the situation of Manchester City very well. During the negotiation between Thaksin consortium and the board of directors, many things have been promised, one of which is related to him-no matter what changes in club management, Wansheng's head coach position will not change.
Thaksin also personally called Wan Sheng, made a promise, and promised, "Half of the initial capital injection will be used for summer transfers!"
Wan Sheng doesn't feel anything about Thaksin's so-called 'no change of head coach'. The most important thing is that he has this confidence, because of the team's performance, because of his ability, if Manchester City dismissed him because of a change in the top management, that would be true What about their loss.
However, Thaksin's promise is also good, that is, it reassures him, and he has more than 20 million pounds of transfer funds in his hand. With money, he has confidence, and Wansheng is ready to help the team expand the lineup.
The transfer work of Glen Johnson and Martin Petrov has entered the negotiation stage, and soon Wansheng added several player names, including Reyes and Ljungberg who played for Arsenal.
Arsenal Club intends to sell these two players. Ljungberg wants to transfer and leave, because after Henry is ready to leave, Arsenal's environment is no longer suitable for him, and it is difficult for him to have a fixed starting position.
Reyes thinks he is not suitable for the atmosphere of the Premier League, and his performance at Arsenal has not been very good for a few years.
In Wan Sheng's view, these two players are exactly what Manchester City needs.
The departure of David Beckham and Sinclair is very traumatic for the team, so the top priority is to replenish the wing players. Neither Reyes nor Ljungberg are pure full-backs. , but their skills are excellent. Reyes can be a forward and a winger, and Ljungberg can also be used as a midfielder. With these two strong players as supplements, there is nothing missing in the team's lineup. .
Of course, Wan Sheng will not pin all his hopes on these two players. Although he has a good relationship with Wenger, Arsenal will not necessarily sell players to competitors. He also reported other names.
Brazil international Elano Blumer, who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk, is a late bloomer in Brazil. Because he played in the second-tier European leagues at the beginning of his career, he did not attract the attention of the national team. Stable performance and good strength, Elano gradually occupied a position in the midfield of the Brazil team.
Although he played in Eastern Europe before, Elano's dazzling performance has attracted the attention of many clubs. According to the information provided by the club's scouts, the Brazil international has comprehensive abilities and is stable in the middle of the midfield and the right wing. Performance.
Wansheng likes players with all-round abilities, and the introduction of a Brazil international can also be a great addition to the team.
If there is a strong player like Elano who can play on the right, then Ivan Crewe can be liberated and supplement the team's middle or striker, which will make the team's formation and tactical changes more flexible.
After some consideration and research, Wansheng reported the names of these players to the team's transfer department and asked them to start related transfer work.
Wansheng felt very refreshed.
In the past few seasons, he has been careful about the transfer fee, and even has to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds for a player, but now he can directly report the name of the player he needs, and the club will arrange all the transfers. Don't worry about running out of transfer funds.
This transfer is so much easier and more enjoyable.
"It's no wonder that everyone likes to coach big clubs." Wan Sheng sighed. Of course, coaching big clubs not only benefits from transfers, but also improves personal treatment a lot, so there is no need to talk about it carefully.
