Chapter 1028 The Game of Local Tyrants
Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain!
This piece of news quickly spread from Europe to all over the world, and has been affirmed by Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
The transfer fee is as high as 60 million euros, and Paris Saint-Germain will pay Ibrahimovic an annual salary of 18 million euros after tax. This will make the Swedish center the second highest annual salary in world football after Yang Yang, surpassing Messi of Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United.
Ibrahimovic sent Yang Yang a text message two days before the transfer was finalized, meaning that the transfer was basically settled and would be announced in the near future, but he did not call, and Yang Yang did not call back.
Obviously, both of them were reluctant to say goodbye in person.
This time is different from when he was in Ajax. Yang Yang felt that maybe he would never have the chance to fight side by side with Zlatan Ibrahimovic again.
Before selling Zlatan Ibrahimovic, during Yang Yang's top ten match, Real Madrid had quietly completed another transfer transaction. Brazilian right back Maicon was transferred to Premier League Manchester City at a price of 15 million euros. Maicon will also get a better contract treatment than Real Madrid.
In this regard, the Brazilian right back is quite satisfied on the phone. He is very confident that he can continue to shine in the Premier League, and there are old teammates such as Sneijder and De Jong in the Manchester City team, so he will not be lonely.
And just after Real Madrid announced the transfer of Ibrahimovic, another deal was quickly confirmed, that is, Kaka switched to AC Milan with a transfer fee of 30 million euros.
Compared with the 65 million euros when he moved to Real Madrid three years ago, Kaka's value has shrunk significantly. This is because he is thirty years old, but more importantly, because his performance in Real Madrid is not as good as Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic and other superstars, and even slightly inferior to Robben and Di Maria.
But AC Milan fans still welcome Kaka's return very much. They still remember the joy and enjoyment that the Brazilian once brought them, and they have not forgotten all the contributions that Kaka has made for them.
Because of this, many outside media and fans also criticize Real Madrid. The main reason is that Real Madrid is ruthless. Players are purged as soon as they are over 30 years old, without any sympathy. This is a huge blow to Real Madrid's image.
On the one hand, Yang Yang regretted and regretted the departure of several old friends, and he was not in a particularly good mood, but on the other hand, he was unable to criticize the club's practices. From the perspective of the operator, this is normal.
Even if Yang Yang were to stand in the perspective of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kaka, he would definitely choose to leave.
...
"The transfer market in Europe this summer has been weird."
When Yang Yang returned to Beijing from Australia and returned home from the national team, brothers Wei Zheng and Winston Bogard came to him.
Shen Yuzhu and others accompanied Yang Yang's parents and Su Ye to play with the children in the living room at home, while Yang Yang and the others stayed in the study and chatted. The topic soon fell on the recent news that has detonated European football transfers one after another.
"According to the information we have so far, the five major leagues will basically not make any big moves except for the two local tycoons of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. It seems that all the teams are tightening their money, so that the hottest in the transfer market are instead Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, the local tycoons of the Russian Premier League and the Ukrainian League." Wei Zheng was very puzzled by this.
"But what surprised me the most was Barcelona. Last season they were empty-handed. Rosell promised to regroup this summer, but so far, they have only introduced Alba and spent 14 million euros. They want to buy Alexander Song from Arsenal, but they just refuse to pay more."
Wei Zhen and Winston Bogard both nodded, which is really strange.
Yang Yang has played in La Liga for three years, and he must be more familiar with Spanish football than them, but he is not surprised by this phenomenon at all, "That's because Barcelona really has no money."
"No money?" Everyone was surprised.
"Of course, when I say no money, I don't mean that they are poor or anything, because Barcelona's finances are definitely much better than other teams, but they are not so good that they can buy and buy unscrupulously. They are incomparable with rich teams. Moreover, when it comes to a team of Barcelona's level, the players they want will not be too cheap."
Rosell succeeded in ascending to power by questioning Laporta's finances, which led to him almost sending Laporta to prison after he came to power. For this reason, Florentino personally persuaded him, thinking that it should not be so embarrassing, which is not good for the image of the two giants.
From this point of view, Rosell's basis for taking charge of Barcelona is to improve the club's finances, so he has always tried to do so, including wanting to break the tradition, selling Barcelona's chest advertisements, and reducing Guardiola's coaching team.
Last season was empty-handed and nothing was gained. Russell must be under a lot of pressure, and reorganizing the team lineup is inevitable, but one thing must be admitted is that Barcelona is far inferior to Real Madrid in terms of club management, daily operations, and commercial operation capabilities.
Florentino manages Real Madrid by running a modern company, which makes every manager in every department of Real Madrid have a very good ability. In today's European football, Real Madrid is the best in this respect, and only Manchester United can match it.
Although Bayern Munich has a lot of commercial income, it actually relies more on the strong economic strength of Germany. In terms of club management and operation, especially in terms of global promotion, Bayern Munich is not as good as Real Madrid and Manchester United.
But there is also a problem with modern corporate operations, which is lack of emotion.
Selling old and highly paid veterans such as Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Maxwell and Maicon this summer is a very wise choice from the perspective of operating the company, but it is indeed unacceptable from an emotional point of view.
After Guardiola dismissed get out of class, Vilanova will take on the burden of challenging Real Madrid. It is said that his transfer list includes a striker, a midfielder, a central defender and a left back.
As for the central defender, he is currently looking at AC Milan's Thiago Silva, but the most important thing is the striker.
"Barcelona is now betting heavily on the Brazilian genius Neymar, but it is not easy to introduce this player. According to what I have learned, Barcelona will pay a sky-high price of 60 million euros for this."
"Sixty million?" Wei Zhen brothers and Winston Bogard were both surprised.
This is a very high price for a first-tier European star, not to mention that it is simply too high for a Brazilian genius who has never proven himself in the European arena so far.
"You should know that Paris Saint-Germain spent 40 million euros on the introduction of Lucas Moura from Brazil not long ago. Just imagine, if Lucas Moura is worth 40 million euros, then Neymar is worth 60 million euros. Is it expensive?" Yang Yang asked.
Everyone is at a loss for words, it seems that it is really not very expensive.
"Even this is just news from the outside world. I'm afraid only Barcelona and Neymar know whether it is really only 60 million euros. I heard that they signed the agreement privately a year ago. God knows what happened?"
Yang Yang shook his head and smiled wryly. He always kept his distance from such headaches.
"Some people say that any team in the world who comes to La Liga can only compete for third place, because here are the two strongest teams in the world, Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is not only reflected on the pitch, but also in the transfer market."
"Looking at the past few years, the money-burning games of Real Madrid and Barcelona will greatly drive the investment of other teams in La Liga, and in turn lead to the prosperity of the entire Spanish football market. But this year, Real Madrid will definitely not spend a lot of money for stadium renovation. Barcelona has a lot of debt and wants to buy Neymar. It will definitely not sign up for a lot of money. Moreover, the lineups of the two teams are already very complete. They only need partial targeted signings, and they are more rational."
When the two major locomotives, Real Madrid and Barcelona, start to tighten their money, then the La Liga transfer market will definitely be in decline.
Not only La Liga, but also the Premier League, which has always been a big money burner.
Manchester United is deeply in debt to the Glazer family, Ferguson will not sign up, let alone Arsenal, Wenger has never been this kind of person, the only capable teams are Manchester City and Chelsea, but the problem is that Chelsea only finished sixth in the league last season and missed the European competition.
Besides, with the brutal intrusion of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the local tyrants from Russia and Ukraine, the European transfer market has been completely turned upside down. There are only so many good players. If anyone wants it, they can only grab it.
But if you want to burn money, who can burn these local tyrants?
Compared with other teams, Real Madrid's current lineup is still very strong, mainly because Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt needs to introduce another powerful star after leaving the team, and the right back position of the defense line also needs to be strengthened.
Judging from the current European transfer market, there are very few capable right backs and they are very scarce. Therefore, Real Madrid's current strategy is still to train Carvajal. Arbeloa will be reused because he has performed very well in the Spanish national team recently.
It is worth mentioning that in the opening game of this European Cup, Del Bosque of the Spanish national team adopted exactly the 423 formation that Real Madrid used when they won the Champions League.
However, this style of play was a 1-1 draw with Italy in the first match, which received considerable controversy.
