Eight Hundred and Seventy Eighth, We Made a Lot of Money!
Before the European Cup was over, Gao Shen had already received a call from Valdano.
Real Madrid's technical director is not questioning the depth, but discussing, because the board of directors does have such doubts.
That is, the players who were sent to the transfer list by Gao Shen all performed very well.
Coentraang, Khedira, and Germany's No. 10 were all included in the 23-man list of the European Cup's best team.
Among them, Khedira and German No. 10 are highly praised.
Bayern's Beckenbauer and Sammer even named Khedira, thinking that he is the most dominant and leading midfielder in European football, and even vaguely want to buy Khedira back.
"Good thing, it happened to sell for a good price." Gao Shen said with a smile.
"It's not about the money, Gao." Valdano smiled wryly on the phone.
"Right now, they are doing very well, but Toni Kroos is average, even the worst player in the German national team, you say, this..."
Gao Shen understood what Valdano meant.
To put it simply, it is such an operation that makes people suspicious.
You sold the best player in the European Cup and brought in the worst player, aren't you talking nonsense?
It's really not just one person, or a group of people, but everyone.
Therefore, players who perform well in competitions often have a sudden rise in value.
Sometimes even to a very outrageous level.
"Let me tell you, Jorge, just like Modric at Tottenham, I can tell you very responsibly, whether it is in the German national team or in Bayern Munich, they use Toni Kroos. It's all problematic."
When Gao Shen said this, he would give people a very arrogant feeling, as if he was the only sober and smart person in the whole world, and everyone else was idiots and fools.
But it's true.
Can Toni Kroos play as a No. 10?
Put him on the tenth, isn't that hurting him?
Not to mention, in the club, he played the number ten next to Ribéry, and in the national team, the German number ten to his right.
"I can't explain it, Jorge." Gao Shen sighed.
Valdano nodded, "I understand, Gao, don't worry, we all believe in you!"
...
The previous statements of Beckenbauer and Summer were more like a gesture of goodwill, just to tell Real Madrid that we are optimistic about Khedira.
Want Toni Kroos?
Yes, exchange it with Khedira!
At present, the worth of the two players is actually about the same. After Khedira shined in the European Cup, his worth is even slightly higher than that of Toni Kroos.
But the offer made by Real Madrid this time is to exchange Khedira for Toni Kroos.
This offer immediately caused an uproar.
Many Spanish media have criticized this,
Because Khedira just shined in the European Cup, and now he is going to be sold?
The point is, if you sell Khedira, just sell it, and you still want to buy a Toni Kroos who was sluggish in the European Cup?
Isn't this nonsense?
Even Alfredo, the editor-in-chief of Aspen newspaper, said that such a transaction is incomprehensible.
"I don't know if it's the decision of Real Madrid's technical team or from a high-level decision, but I think if Real Madrid is really optimistic about Toni Kroos, they can buy the midfielder without taking Khedira. , Our best player is traded, which is a losing trade in any way."
But Real Madrid, no one came forward to explain.
The only one who stood up and said a few words was Florentino. He was interviewed at an event and said with a smile that he believed in the choice of the professional team.
"We have the best coach in the world, the most professional team, I believe in them!"
But the outside media and fans don't believe it.
If Gao Shen came forward, the situation would be relatively better, after all, he is well-known.
But in order to avoid other troubles, Real Madrid did not let Gao Shen come forward in this transfer manipulator.
The reason is very simple, if Gao Shen wants to buy someone, then this person's worth will skyrocket, so how can he buy it?
Not to mention anything else, just talk about Valencia's left back Alba.
Barcelona's bid for a left-back has stalled after Real Madrid made an offer for Valencia.
Later, Alba's agent said in front of the media that Gao Shen fell in love with Alba.
Good guy, as soon as Valencia heard the news, he immediately stopped the transfer.
After the start of the European Cup, Alba performed better and better. In the end, he helped the Spanish team beat Italy 4-0 in the final. He himself was also selected for the best team list.
Now, Alba's worth is no longer more than 10 million euros.
Before the end of the European Cup, Barcelona put forward the latest offer to Valencia, which was as high as 25 million euros, which was more than twice the amount before the European Cup and before Real Madrid intervened.
But Valencia was also arrogant and refused directly.
Not for sale!
If you want to buy it, it can be higher, otherwise I will sell it to Real Madrid!
What's more terrible is that Real Madrid really released news to buy.
This is simply off the mark!
Barcelona chairman Russell directly criticized Valencia's approach in the media, believing that the Bat Corps violated the wishes of the players.
They obviously want to come to Barcelona, but you want to sell to Real Madrid, what do you mean?
Bullying we shouted out, we can only cash in, isn't it?
Valencia's attitude is also very clear, whether to buy or not!
Against the wishes of the players?
What a grandeur! When you hooked up with players in private and asked them to put pressure on the club, why didn't you say so?
Let's not talk about those nonsense, we don't need much, just liquidated damages, which is the same price as you signed Alves from Sevilla back then.
Look at Alba's performance in the European Cup, you won't lose money if you buy it!
Barcelona finally gritted their teeth, stomped their feet, and bought it!
Forty million euros, Barcelona once again signed a full-back from Valencia at a sky-high price.
And just two days before Alba signed, Real Madrid announced that they would sell the Portuguese left back Coentrao to Chelsea for 25 million euros.
The front foot just sold the best left back in the European Cup, and the back foot missed the best left back in the country, which immediately made Real Madrid fans unbearable.
How is the transfer operation going this summer?
what the hell?
Why choose those players who perform well to sell?
Is Real Madrid short of money now?
It doesn't look like it. I spent a high premium of 20 million to sign Courtois from Leeds United.
Some tabloids even started conspiracy theories, thinking that there is a profound reason for this?
Who doesn't know that the boss behind Leeds United is Gao Shen?
Is he taking advantage of the Real Madrid transfer and secretly funding his team?
No matter where it is, conspiracy theory has always been the most popular.
After selling Coentrao, Real Madrid announced a player exchange, using Khedira in exchange for Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich.
The German media was overjoyed.
We made big money!
Look at Toni Kroos' performance at Bayern, and then look at his performance in the European Cup. Where is the style of the World Cup two years ago?
He looks like he's going downhill now.
What about Khedira?
Twenty-four years old, at the age of playing, and the best player in the European Cup, both Beckenbauer and Sammer were handpicked, the future leaders of Germany and Bayern, such a deal is simply unnecessary What a bargain.
After signing Toni Kroos, Real Madrid announced the signing of Italian midfielder Verratti from Naples for 25 million euros.
This 19-year-old midfielder has played in Naples for four seasons. Everyone knows that he is a treasure that Gao Shen unearthed back then, so his performance has attracted much attention.
Verratti did not disappoint either. In the Serie A last season, he contributed nine assists. His performance was remarkable. He was hailed by many as the new Pirlo, and the call for being selected for the national team was also particularly high.
Now that Real Madrid signed him for 25 million euros, it looks like he will be able to gather with senior mentors and apprentices in Real Madrid.
After signing Verratti, the deal in London also came to an end.
Real Madrid successfully signed Luka Modric from Tottenham Hotspur for 15 million euros, plus Adebayor.
The Croatian midfielder was criticized by Tottenham fans after a quarrel with Levy, but eventually withstood the pressure and came to Real Madrid.
At the same time, Real Madrid announced that it has activated the repurchase clause and bought back the left back Marcos Alonso, who was sold last season, from Bolton.
Speaking of Marcos Alonso, he was born in the Real Madrid family.
His grandfather was the main player of Real Madrid in the 1950s when they won five consecutive Champions League titles.
His father also came from the Real Madrid youth training camp, but he failed to play in the first team. Instead, he went to Racing Santander to start his career, and then joined Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, becoming a legendary star of Barcelona.
Marcos Alonso, who is now 20 years old, can be said to be the root of Real Madrid's youth training. He entered the Real Madrid youth training camp at the age of nine to receive training. He once got a chance in the first team, but failed to gain a foothold and was sold. to Bolton.
However, like other young players in Real Madrid, in the terms of the sale to Bolton, Real Madrid set a repurchase clause, and this time Real Madrid activated the repurchase clause and bought Marcos Alonso directly from Bolton.
But for this repurchase, Real Madrid fans are of course happy, after all, they are their own children, but they are more confused.
Since Marcos Alonso was not doing well at Bolton, why would Real Madrid want to bring him back?
Is it just because he is a child of Real Madrid?
Or, is it to appease the fans?
After signing Marcos Alonso, Real Madrid announced that they would send central defender Carvalho to Monaco. The specific transfer amount was not disclosed, but AS reported that the transfer was a free transfer.
In other words, Real Madrid let Carvalho leave directly.
Great Altintop went to Galatasaray in Turkey with a transfer fee of 3.5 million euros.
Shaheen went to Liverpool in the Premier League with a transfer fee of 10 million euros.
The Red Army has almost become one of the teams with the strongest purchasing power in the Premier League this season, and the transfer fee expenditure is second only to Chelsea, which has just changed coaches.
When Mourinho returned to Chelsea, he was waving checks and begging everywhere.
With the strong support of Mourinho, the Blues announced that they had signed the German No. 10 from Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 45 million euros.
The best player in the European Cup finally left Real Madrid.
At the Bernabeu, Florentino began self-reflection.
