Chapter 1094 The Sky Has Changed

If anyone looks back at the European summer transfers of 2013 in the future, it will definitely start with a blockbuster transfer.

Atletico Madrid's number one star, Colombian center, Tiger Falcao moved to Ligue 1 Monaco!

When the Qatar consortium acquired Paris Saint-Germain and waved oil gold coupons in European football, the Russian billionaire Rybo Norev followed suit, acquired the traditional Ligue 1 team Monaco, and began to invest huge sums this summer. capital.

Falcao is the fourth signing of Monaco this season, which fully reflects the courage and richness of Monaco in the transfer market. The introduction of Kondogbia, and then the introduction of Harms Rodriguez and Moutinho from Porto, the former spent 45 million euros, and the latter spent 25 million euros.

In other words, before the introduction of Falcao, Monaco had invested 90 million euros in real money in the transfer market.

In order to get Falcao from Atletico Madrid, Monaco invested another 60 million euros, with a total investment of 150 million euros in the summer, and even offered Falcao an annual salary of 14 million euros. It was an astonishing move.

Not only that, the French media revealed that Monaco is not only satisfied with this, they also aimed at Cavani of Naples and Hulk of Zenit St. Petersburg, both of whom are worth a lot of money.

It is said that Zenit offered Hulk a sky-high price of 60 million euros. Once successful, it will be another amazing transfer.

If it is said that Monaco is aggressive and aims to challenge the status of Paris Saint-Germain, the hegemony of Ligue 1, then Paris Saint-Germain, which also has the support of a large consortium, is also unambiguous.

After Monaco announced the signing of Falcao, Paris Saint-Germain quickly raised the price and finalized Cavani from Naples. The transfer fee was as high as 64 million euros. Will be the new standard king.

It was only the beginning of June, and as a result, blockbuster transfers came one after another, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Then Paris Saint-Germain introduced Maquinhos from Rome, spending 35 million euros, and at the same time aimed at Real Madrid, wanting to compete with the equally wealthy Manchester City for Portuguese defender Pepe.

I have seen local tyrants, but I have never seen such a local tyrant.

The two local tyrants in Ligue 1 quickly detonated the media and fans all over the world in a very short period of time, making everyone dumbfounded by their transfer operations. In the European football circle, everyone is also clearly aware that the transfer The days of the market have changed.

...

Many people say that European football is a pyramid structure.

The top giants are Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​followed by Manchester United, Bayern and other giants.

With the outbreak of the Serie A phone call incident, the giants in Serie A have fallen a lot. Coupled with the economic depression in Italy, the momentum of Serie A teams has plummeted immediately, and their purchasing power has long since declined.

But in this case, the Premier League has taken advantage of the trend. With its excellent league organization structure and broadcast fee distribution method, even relegation teams have purchasing power not weaker than upstream teams in other leagues. This makes the Premier League The team's signing ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and it has acquired aggressively in major European leagues.

But in any case, the Premier League teams are still unable to shake the pyramid structure, and the attraction of wealthy teams to top players is still so strong.

But now, the rise of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Monaco has undoubtedly made everyone aware that the attractiveness of giants has become much worse in front of money.

Falcao is a very promising scorer in Europe. He played for Atletico Madrid, the third place in La Liga, but moved to Monaco in Ligue 1. Cavani is the top scorer in Serie A, and he is also favored by many rich teams. , but transferred to Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester City is even more terrifying. After recruiting Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini from Malaga to coach, they immediately began to buy in La Liga. Vaz is the most favored rookie in La Liga and a star in his prime.

While Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco were poaching popular stars, Manchester City quietly introduced Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk, spending 34 million pounds and 40 million euros. It's a huge sum of money.

This simply shocked the entire European football world.

If we say that ten years ago, Abramovich came to the Premier League with a money printing machine, brandished checks to sign stars one by one, created the Chelsea iron army, and forcibly piled up a top European team with money, So now, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are doing the same thing, even more fierce and more influential.

You must know that without them, or in other words, without these two local tyrants in Ligue 1, outstanding stars such as Falcao and Cavani would play for the giants in the four major leagues, and the overall pattern would not change.

But now it’s better, the lunch of the rich team, the meat on the mouth is suddenly robbed by the rich team, the excellent stars in the entire European summer transfer market suddenly decrease, there are too many monks, and the entire transfer market suddenly becomes panicked.

L'Equipe analyzed that there may not be much to see for the time being, but in the next two or three years, when looking back at the transfer market in 2013, everyone will be surprised to find that this is the beginning of a big change.

When Manchester City, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain start to rob the European giants of their favorite players, greatly reducing the attractiveness of the giants, then the result is competition, the fiercest and most brutal competition.

Football matches are all about the players, and behind the players are money interests.

As for local tyrants, they are not short of money at all.

...

Yang Yang received the news during his trip to Northern Europe. He also saw the analysis of the team newspaper on his mobile phone, but he couldn't help but admire Florentino's prediction made more than a year ago.

Sure enough, European football has begun to change.

Real Madrid's big purge last summer, fully promoting the youth reform, is preparing for today.

Nowadays, the situation outside is fierce, but the impact on Real Madrid is not great.

Of course, Real Madrid can't be careless, because now it's just starting to rob excellent stars, then it will start robbing excellent semi-finished products, and then it will start robbing young talents, and finally it will be robbing youth training.

This situation has already happened once in the years at the turn of the century. Not only famous stars have continuously created sky-high prices, but even many young players have become very sought-after, but in the end it ended in the bankruptcy of the Bundesliga.

The only difference is that this time the competition is far more fierce than at the beginning of the century, and it will last longer.

European football is a big market with free circulation of players. I believe that with time, the impact of this trend will gradually subside, and then return to stability again.

As for which giants will be stepped down by then, no one knows.

The only thing Yang Yang can be sure of is that Real Madrid's life will not be easy, but it will not be too miserable.

...

When the transfer market is treacherous and the situation is unpredictable, Real Madrid has been testing and preparing for the transfer market.

Bayern Munich triggered the liquidated damages clause of Dortmund's midfielder Götze, paid a transfer fee of up to 37 million euros, and at the same time provided Götze with an annual salary of 7 million euros, and dug the Dortmund midfielder. Union Field.

This transfer happened at the end of April, and Gotze's departure also caused Dortmund to change its strategy. It tried its best to keep Lewandowski, stopped all the teams that coveted the Bosnian striker, and declined all offers. .

The Hornet's strategy is very clear. After selling Gotze, Lewandowski must be kept, so as to maintain the team's competitiveness. After all, Royce alone cannot support Dortmund's frontcourt attack.

Gotze's transfer is also a good opportunity for Chinese player Chen Tao.

Lewandowski stayed in the team, and Real Madrid's plan to poach Lewandowski was shattered. Valdano and the technical team also removed the Bosnian center from Real Madrid's recruitment candidate list and began to try Manchester City's Aguero .

Aguero once stated after the season that he was interested in Real Madrid's favor, but Manchester City did not want to sell their star at all, which made Real Madrid's contact not have the expected effect.

As a last resort, Valdano began to contact Suarez with Liverpool.

It is not uncommon for Suarez to want to leave Liverpool. He has hinted more than once in the past six months that he may leave the Red Army. After the season, he even said that although he has a contract with Liverpool, he still hopes that Liverpool can Consider offers from other teams, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"Every player wants to reach the pinnacle of his career. Playing for teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona is the ultimate dream that any player can have."

Suarez said that he can bring unreserved hard work to the team, because he has never been stingy in giving his all, whether in Ajax or Liverpool, he will always be the most diligent and hardworking players.

"On the first day I joined Ajax, the coach gave me a CD, which contained Yang Yang's game video. I am the same age as him, but he has already made a name for himself, and I am not well-known, but Ajax My coaches told me that if I learned from him, I would be famous, and I did, and I am where I am today."

When asked by the media which team Suarez would choose if both Real Madrid and Barcelona wanted him at the same time, the Uruguayan striker chose Real Madrid without hesitation.

"In the past few years, Yang Yang has always been my leader on the career path. He is my predecessor at Ajax. Over the years, my biggest wish is to fight side by side with Yang Yang on the court. I, for all the players who come out of Ajax, are the crowning glory."

"So, I hope to follow in his footsteps, from Ajax to Liverpool, and from Liverpool to Real Madrid!"

Suarez's public statement undoubtedly aroused the interest of Real Madrid's transfer department and immediately accelerated its operation.

At the same time, Messi, who is on vacation in Argentina, has just made a major decision.
