Chapter 1421 Paris Massacre
The more prosperous summer transfers are, the more busted they are during the winter break.
Real Madrid was banned from signings, Barcelona did not make any moves, and Atletico Madrid also had no plans in this regard.
The top three in La Liga have not moved, so the biggest transfer in La Liga happened to Real Sociedad. They introduced Rulli from Manchester City for 7 million euros.
However, the most invested team is Sevilla.
This team currently ranked second in La Liga is also obviously looking forward to the second half. Two players were introduced during the winter break, namely Walter Montoya of Rosario, Argentina, and Nancy of Ligue 1. Lenglet, the two players who cost Sevilla 10.5 million euros, became the team that invested the most in La Liga during the winter break.
Villarreal is the team with the highest income. They transferred Brazilian striker Pato to the Chinese Super League Tianjin team and earned 18 million euros.
By the way, the entire European football world is now paying attention to the Chinese Super League, because the purchasing power of this league is really amazing, but from another point of view, this may not be a good phenomenon.
Similar to the Chinese Super League, it is not unheard of in the past to buy stars. Leagues such as Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, etc. have all experienced such a wave of upsurge. Teams such as Shakhtar Donetsk, CSKA Moscow and Anzhi, even Once competed with the giants for the popular superstar.
But the problem is that the final result is obvious, and after a few years, these teams are all gone.
How many people still recognize Hulk and Witsel, who switched from the Portuguese Super League to Russia at a high price?
Eto'o moved to Turkey with a high annual salary, but in the end he returned to the four major leagues.
Professional football can’t be played just by burning money. Otherwise, how to explain Valencia, who burns so much money, and almost fell into the relegation zone in the end?
How can Valencia play like this, can the Chinese Super League team play well?
In Yang Yang's view, this is not necessarily a good thing at all, because when the Chinese Super League local tyrants are burning money, the entire Chinese football market will quickly become hot, which can certainly bring fans and popularity, but the problem is that it It is not sustainable, and it is easy to cause domestic players' worth and annual salaries to soar.
In the summer of 2016, the transfer fee of international player Zhang Chengdong was as high as 20 million euros, which was already comparable to that of a famous Premier League star like Schneiderlin. Who would dare to say that there is no inflated?
What about the annual salary? Players' transfer fees are inflated, but the annual salary is not inflated?
Once the annual salary is hyped, it doesn’t matter if the local tyrants are not bad money or don’t care about the investment, but how can other middle and lower-level teams, even low-level league teams, survive?
The football environment in the middle and lower leagues is already very bad. If the annual salary and transfer fee are inflated again, can they survive? Will there be problems in the end?
In the past, Yang Yang never thought about these issues because he was just a player and he had no experience in this area, but now that he acquired Ajax and started to get involved in club management, he began to learn more.
When everyone thinks that local tyrants such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have brought hot money, when everyone thinks that the Premier League broadcast fee is rising steadily, and the transfer market is hot, Ajax's survival is becoming increasingly difficult.
Professional football is pyramid-shaped, but the top team and the middle team, or the bottom team, are completely different ways of survival, and as the helm, the Football Association and the Chinese Super League should stand up and plan ahead.
Yang Yang has already conveyed his understanding, some ideas, and his exchange experiences with Florentino, UEFA and FIFA executives to the Football Association one by one. As for them Whether he can listen or not, and what he plans to do, is beyond Yang Yang's control.
Yang Yang's father, Yang Yongqiang, has become more and more prosperous in business in recent years. The sneaker brand he manages has become one of the top three well-known brands in China, and he has begun to buy it internationally, forming his own brand matrix. Each of these sub-sectors is already a domestic leader, and even well-known in the world.
After Yang Yang invested in Ajax, he was determined to bring Ajax’s youth training to China. At present, Wei Zheng is communicating with Yang Yongqiang and the local government of Yang Yang’s hometown in China, hoping to establish Ajax’s youth team in his hometown. Ajax’s youth training system will be fully transplanted to create the top and most professional youth training base in China.
It is said that the current progress is gratifying. If the agreement is reached, Yang Yang can be regarded as fulfilling another wish.

The first game in February is the Copa del Rey semi-final.
Real Madrid host Alaves at home.
This time, the galactic battleship sent the main force to fight in order to defeat the opponent.
In the 30th minute of the first half, Hazard assisted Yang Yang and scored a goal, but just three minutes later, Alaves left back, 19-year-old Spanish native Theo Hernandez pulled for Alaves. Back a round.
This player was loaned to Alaves by Atlético Madrid and performed very well. He was also targeted by Real Madrid’s technical team. At the core high-level meeting, Valdano also mentioned this player. It seems that Real Madrid is interested. Very thick.
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Yang Yang reciprocated and sent two assists in a row, assisting Hazard and Suarez to score successively. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Alaves 3-1 at home.

Three days later, in the twenty-first round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Vigo Celta away.
Due to successive torrential rains, Vigo Celta's Balledos Stadium and Deportivo's Riazo Stadium in Deportivo have suffered from stadium damages, posing safety risks. The latter was unable to play the game and was forced to postpone it, but Real Madrid obviously unwilling to do so.
First proposed to change to a neutral stadium, but did not get the consent of Vigo Celta, then Real Madrid asked for a postponement, rather than another day to make up the game, and finally got the agreement of La Liga.
After all, Real Madrid is fighting on multiple lines, and the pressure of the game is also very high. If it is accidentally postponed to a time when the schedule is intensive, it will definitely not be a good thing for Real Madrid.
No one knows what kind of schedule and situation they will encounter next, don't they?
Therefore, what Real Madrid wants most is to take advantage of the fact that the team is still in good shape, the state is not bad, and the schedule is not too dense, so they can play the game as soon as possible.
A day later, Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo 4-1 cleanly at the Valledos Stadium.
Yang Yang scored a goal in the opening ten minutes, and then scored another goal in the 48th minute of the second half. Both assists were made by Isco.

In midweek, Real Madrid ushered in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.
Because the two games were so close, Real Madrid was forced to make a large rotation, playing almost as a full-substitute lineup.
In the away game, Real Madrid encountered a tenacious attack from Alaves, coupled with the excessive rotation, Real Madrid's performance was not ideal, although Morata scored in the 39th minute of the first half, but in the first half Eighty-three minutes were equalized by the opponent.
After that, the two teams failed to score any more goals and shook hands one-to-one.
With a three-to-one match in the first leg, Real Madrid made it to the final of the Copa del Rey with a total score of four-to-two.
...
In another matchup, Barcelona first beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at the Calderon Stadium with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and then drew a 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp.
What really attracted attention was the second round. The referee showed a total of three red cards, which shows how tragic the game was.
First, Barcelona's Roberto accumulated two yellow cards in the 57th minute and was sent off, and then Carrasco also accumulated two yellow cards in the 69th minute. Got another red card at the last minute.
Three red cards appeared in a game, which surprised all onlookers and could see the intensity of the game.
In the end, Real Madrid and Barcelona reunited in the Copa del Rey final, which undoubtedly shows the strength of the two teams.
When Real Madrid was the best in La Liga, Barcelona could only pin their hopes on the King's Cup.

Victory over Atletico Madrid and advance to the Copa del Rey final, Barcelona's morale is like a rainbow.
Back in La Liga, in the away game against Alaves, Barcelona relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's two passes and two shots to rout Alaves 6-0 away, playing a hearty victory.
The Catalan media revelled after the game, shouting that the strongest Barcelona had finally returned.
Because just three days ago, Real Madrid just drew 1:1 with Alaves at this stadium, but I did not expect Barcelona to win by six goals. In comparison, Barcelona played significantly better.
Real Madrid's state has indeed picked up, but it has not yet reached the best.
When Barcelona beat the opponent with six goals, Real Madrid also challenged Osasuna away.
Yang Yang opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 24th minute, then Osasuna equalized, but in the 62nd minute, Yang Yang assisted Isco to score a goal, and then Marcelo assisted Vazquez again. a city.

In stoppage time in the first half, Marcelo sent an assist and Yang Yang scored twice.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 away with three goals in the first half.
After the war, Real Madrid scored 56 points with an unbeaten record of 17 wins and 5 draws in the 22nd World War, ranking first in La Liga, nine points more than Barcelona in second place. It can be said that the league championship has been basically locked in advance.
But this is already expected by everyone, because Real Madrid beat Valencia is not unusual.
What is really surprising is that Barcelona was shocked by Paris Saint-Germain in the first round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout match.
