Six Hundred and Thirty Third Windfall
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [new] the fastest update! No ads!
Last year, after Serie A Naples won the Italian Triple Crown, they opened the doors of supermarkets and sold them wantonly, coupled with Florentino's return to Real Madrid, and the deep management of Manchester City, a huge tsunami was formed in the entire transfer market.
Perhaps, after many, many years, it will be difficult to reproduce the grand occasion of the transfer market last summer.
That will be a memory remembered and talked about by countless fans.
But this year, the transfer market has obviously become much flatter.
In the Premier League last season, Manchester City won the league championship five rounds ahead of schedule. The overall strength is evident. This is doomed that Blue Moon will not be able to reproduce the crazy signings of last season this summer. It is more just to supplement the team's strength. Bench thickness.
Therefore, in June, Manchester City only finalized two transfers of Jerome Boateng and Fernandinho, spending a total of 25 million euros, which is not a small amount in the European transfer market , but it is far from the madness of last season.
The same is true of Real Madrid.
Just entered June, the Galacticos couldn't wait to announce a coaching change, Pellegrini dismissed get out of class, and Inter Milan's coach Mourinho officially took over the Bernabeu.
This is not surprising at all.
After Gao Shen rejected Real Madrid, there are very few world famous coaches that Real Madrid can choose, and Mourinho is one of the few choices, and his situation in Inter Milan happens to be not so ideal.
Moratti invested a lot of money, but failed to produce results for two consecutive seasons. Mourinho and the players in the locker room also began to have cracks. At this time, breaking up is considered good for both parties. Remember the URL m.xbequige. com
After Mourinho took over, Real Madrid's signings were more pragmatic, and there were basically no signs of stars.
The two major financial backers have started to pay for the price, so the entire transfer market can be imagined.
Specific to the Premier League, the purchasing power of the entire league has obviously declined sharply.
As the league with the highest degree of commercial development among the four major European leagues, the Premier League is also the most affected by the economic crisis. Although it still leads Serie A and La Liga by a large margin, it is indeed much weaker than before.
Although Manchester United reached the Champions League final, as Ferguson said, in fact, it is difficult for the Red Devils to find funds for signings this summer.
Chelsea also did not make big moves. The biggest signing was the signing of Ramirez from Benfica, but the central defender Carvalho is likely to be sold to Real Madrid because Mourinho appointed the Portuguese central defender to join.
In addition, Chelsea also began to clean up the first team lineup.
Players such as Ballack, Joe Cole, Belletti and Deco may all leave the team, and many of them are free transfers.
This is bound to have an impact on Chelsea's lineup.
The thickness of the bench is very important for a multi-line team, but maintaining a huge lineup requires huge expenses. This is a problem for Abramovich, whose financial resources have been greatly affected by the economic crisis.
More importantly, Chelsea has been unable to become financially independent for so many years, and has invested heavily in youth training, but it has never been able to form an effective virtuous circle.
All of these are hidden dangers.
If Gao Shen remembers correctly, Ancelotti's situation took a turn for the worse after a streak of victories this season, and he was finally fired by Abramovich in despair.
Liverpool's situation is even better. Last season, they won the third place in the Premier League, and their results are not bad. Continuing to participate in the Champions League is the greatest affirmation of the Red Army. Benitez is also different from Gao Shen's previous life, and he can continue to stay.
Similarly, Mascherano, Benayoun and other players will continue to stay at Liverpool. The Red Army is still very competitive in the new season. If they can strengthen signings in several positions, I believe that the Red Army may not have no chance to challenge Manchester City.
In contrast, Arsenal's situation is worse.
Losing their qualifications for the UEFA Champions League for many consecutive years is not only a simple loss of tens of millions of euros in income for the Gunners, but more importantly, the impact, whether it is a sponsor or a player, has caused an immeasurable impact.
Back then, why did the Arsenal management dare to make great efforts to build the Emirates Stadium and invest in real estate projects in Highbury?
It is because Wenger made a decision at a critical moment that he can guarantee the team's participation in the Champions League.
Facts have also proved that in the past few years, Wenger has always brought Arsenal into the Champions League and into the knockout round of the sixteenth round.
For Wenger, Gunners fans can have all kinds of accusations and criticisms, but only his contribution cannot be ignored.
But now, the situation is clearly different.
The rise of Manchester City made Arsenal miss the Champions League qualification for the first time in more than ten years. This not only caused a loss of financial revenue to Arsenal, but also shook their confidence.
Sponsors give high prices because they believe that Arsenal can participate in the Champions League every year; players have continued to stay with the Gunners over the years because they know that Arsenal can play in the Champions League no matter how poor their performance is.
But now, everything is gone.
Generally speaking, in Arsenal's current situation, they should make great efforts to invest in signings, introduce high-level stars, make up for the team's weaknesses and shortcomings as soon as possible, improve the team's competitiveness in the Premier League, and regain their strength. into the Champions League.
But here lies the problem, Arsenal have no money!
Gao Shen heard a lot of stories about Arsenal in his previous life, such as temperature difference signings, 100 million interest deposits, selling captains, etc. These can all be understood as the emotional output of fans who hate iron and steel.
But there is a fact that, so far, Arsenal's liabilities are as high as 70% of the club's assets.
Generally speaking, if you sell the current Arsenal, you may not be able to keep a penny, and all of it will have to be used to pay off debts.
Highbury's real estate project is like a rope around Arsenal's neck, which may suffocate him at any time. Fortunately, the loan for this project ends next year.
It's been eight years!
It is not surprising that Arsenal have a lot of cash reserves, but this does not mean that they can use this money to buy people.
These are two concepts.
It's like a person who has just received a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan and has abundant cash flow, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to spend 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to upgrade that old laptop and mobile phone that has been used for several years.
why?
Because he needs to repay the mortgage, car loan, credit card, Huabei, children's expenses, and family daily expenses, etc., and even needs to set aside some funds as a reserve to prevent the risk of a sharp drop in his income next month.
Maybe after spending all of these, he didn't have any money left, and he even lost money.
That's what Wenger is now.
Gao Shen traveled through time. I don’t know if Arsenal fans in 2022 will miss Wenger even more after his time travel, but he definitely knows that at least from Wenger’s point of view, he is really relieved.
...
Gao Shen is on vacation in China, but he has been remotely controlling the transfer and signings in Europe.
After signing Jerome Boateng and Fernandinho one after another, Manchester City's signings are still continuing.
Even, as the training date approached, the pace continued to accelerate.
In late June, Gao Shen finished his vacation and returned to Europe.
Just the day before Gao Shen's return trip, European football suddenly announced a shocking transfer.
David Villa from Valencia successfully joined Barcelona with a transfer fee of 40 million euros.
This immediately triggered a strong earthquake in the entire European football world.
David Villa is now the leading striker in Spain, and has attracted the attention of many teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea. As a result, as soon as the new chairman of Barcelona took office, he was immediately smashed down.
Incidentally, just in mid-June, as Gao Shen had seen in his previous life, Russell really defeated Laporta and became the new chairman of Barcelona, with Bartomeu as the vice-chairman.
This is enough to prove that the butterfly effect brought by Gao Shen is not enough to change the Barcelona presidential election.
The signing of David Villa is more out of the need of the superstar strategy of the chairman campaign, but Russell's goal is not only him, but also Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas.
As soon as Bartomeu took office, he immediately bombarded Arsenal, thinking that they had set up obstacles in the return of Fabregas to Barcelona, because Fabregas was originally stolen by Arsenal from the Barcelona youth training camp. gem.
In addition to Cesc Fabregas, Russell is also actively preparing to introduce Aguero from Atletico Madrid. This Argentine striker has just helped Atletico Madrid win the Europa League and is also favored by Real Madrid. Quite interested.
In order to better free up salary space, Hleb, Caceres, Henry, Marcos and other players will leave the team.
In addition, the two generals Eto'o and Yaya Toure were once again sent to the transfer market.
After selling David Villa for 40 million euros, Valencia announced that it had signed local midfielder Daniel Parejo from Naples at a high price of 20 million euros.
This midfielder performed well in Naples last season, especially after the departure of Rakitic and Biglia, he provoked the burden of Naples' midfield organization and is Naples' veritable midfield organization core.
Valencia sold its star players for two consecutive seasons, and seeing the strong rise of teams such as Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal, finally couldn't help but make a move to strengthen the team's strength.
And this deal also allowed Gao Shen to get a 20% share of the transfer fee, which was an unexpected gain.
Now the players in Naples are generally introduced and cultivated in the advanced period. I believe that this aspect of income will come again in the future, especially those like Hamsik, Cavani, Pastore, Benatia, etc. Players are basically stars who can sell for a good price.
Regardless of the Serie A side, Gao Shen flew to Abu Dhabi to meet Mansour after transiting in Dubai on Emirates Airline. This was also Mansour’s invitation, because when Gao Shen came to shoot commercials, he didn’t have time. .
After flying from Dubai to London, Gao Shen turned north again.
On arrival in Manchester, consultant Brian Marwood personally picked him up at the airport and reported on the latest progress of Manchester City's transfer.
