With the additions of Benjamin Mendy and Nelson Semedo, the reshuffle of Chinatown's full-backs has also been revealed.

Since the departure of Alves, Barcelona has always had a weakness on the right side, and after the defeat with Manchester City to snatch Danilo, the right side has always been Barcelona's weakness, and the recall of Montoya has been rumored for a year.

Now, finally, it's a reality.

With 80 million euros, Barcelona finally paid a huge amount of money for Montoya, determined to bring the local youth academy back to Camp Nou to fill the last shortcoming in the team's squad.

This transfer sounded the first clarion call for this year's summer transfer, and followed by Real Madrid, the second shot was Real Madrid, the Galaxy only finished fourth in the league last season, and the poor results for many years in a row, the management can be described as a mountain of pressure, filling the left side of the squad shortcomings, and also became Florentino's first choice.

But at the same time, Manchester City is also full of interest in Alex Sandro, a left-sided player in China City, and the two giants have launched a fierce competition, and in the end, Real Madrid successfully won the Brazilian left-back for a high price of 90 million euros.

Sending away Montoya and Alex Sandro, bringing in Nelson Semedo and Benjamin Mendy, Chinatown is still very shrewd in and out of the transfer operation, sticking to the principle of value for money deals.

The aftermath of the two blockbuster transfers has not stopped, and the transfer market will soon be stormed again.

Chelsea, who underperformed last season, finally let Roman Abramovich pull out of his pocket again, and after sacking Mourinho in the middle of the season, he confirmed the Italian national team manager Antonio Conte to take over, and the latter named a central defender he wanted, and also locked up Dutch central defender De Vrij in Chinatown early.

The 24-year-old centre-back has been the backbone of Chinatown's defence over the past few seasons, whether in La Liga, the Champions League, or the national team, and has been a pillar of the world's football centre-back.

Chelsea paid a whopping €80 million to get De Vrij, which eventually led to the Dutch centre-back's switch to the Blues, and Chelsea's weak backline was greatly improved.

After De Vrij switched to Chelsea, Chinatown also quickly announced that it would renew the contracts of Chinese teenagers Zhao Jun, Wang Lei, Gao Ren and Yang Xin, and officially promoted these four youngsters to the first team.

The new head coach Valverde also publicly stated at the press conference that he is very optimistic about Zhao Jun's potential and believes that the future of the Chinese teenager will surprise everyone.

'We won't be bringing in any more centre-backs because we already have Raphael Varane, Marquinhos, Umtiti and Zhao Jun and I think that's more than enough for the third tier of the new season. ”

At the same time, Zhang Yuning, who is far away in the Netherlands, has finally made a decision, and after Mendes's operation, Ajax officially introduced the center forward Zhang Yuning from Vitesse for a price of one million euros.

The 19-year-old has just scored a brace in the international competition and helped Vitesse to the Under-19 Cup triumph, earning a lot of praise from head coach Gao Han and has great potential to take over the team's number nine shirt in the new season.

This is the number of the jerseys worn by Van Basten and Ibrahimovic successively, which shows the importance that Ajax attaches to Zhang Yuning.

The last player to wear the number nine shirt for Ajax was Poland international Milik, who scored 21 goals in 32 games last season and moved to Napoli for €32 million this summer.

For Zhang Yuning's joining, Ajax has expressed their expectations and firmly believes that he can succeed.

However, compared with Chinatown's transfer of tens of millions of euros, Zhang Yuning's transfer of one million euros to Ajax is insignificant at all, and it has not attracted much attention in the European transfer market.

On the contrary, in July, as the European Championship came to an end, the movement in the transfer market is also getting more and more attention, first Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo said that he will leave Manchester City, but his whereabouts are unknown, and then Manchester United manager Pochettino is rumored to be serious about Morata.

Mauricio Pochettino said Antoine Griezmann was named the top scorer for the European Championship and that if Morata can be brought in, United's attacking line will be greatly improved in the new season.

But at the same time, Italy's Juventus is also eager to improve its attacking power in the frontcourt, and is also very interested in Morata and Dybala.

Entering the end of July, the news came one after another, and the transfer soap opera finally began to end.

Cristiano Ronaldo finally transferred from Manchester City to Paris Saint-Germain for a sky-high price of 200 million euros.

After sending off Neymar, the Ligue 1 giants have finally brought in a heavyweight superstar and restructured the super-striker of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

After announcing the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not match Pep Guardiola's tactics, Manchester City soon announced that it would bring in new FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Eden Hazard from China Town at a record price of 250 million euros.

The 25-year-old Belgian is undoubtedly in his playing years, in peak condition, and after winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or, he is second only to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and can be called the third person in world football.

Selling a Portuguese in his early thirties and raising the price of 50 million to bring in Hazard, Manchester City's deal was shrewdly done, causing heated discussions in football around the world, and Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have once again entered the core of global public opinion.

But after confirming the transfer of Eden Hazard, Manchester United finally made a move.

The Red Devils have been restructuring in recent years, and the recruitment efforts are not small, but the overall competitiveness is not strong enough, the management is determined to increase investment, after the city rival brought in Hazard at a record price, Manchester United also quickly announced that the introduction of French midfielder Paul Pogba from Chinatown for a high price of 150 million euros.

The deal is once again a global sensation.

But the day after Pogba was signed, Manchester United officially announced that it would bring in striker Morata from Chinatown at a high price of 100 million euros, and Pochettino finally got the center forward he wanted.

After Manchester United signed Morata, Juventus also quickly signed Argentine striker Dybala from China City for a high price of 100 million euros, and this transfer also set a record for the highest recruitment in the history of Serie A.

Entering August, just when everyone thought that the transfer market was going to come to an end temporarily, Manchester City once again announced that it would bring in midfielder De Bruyne from China City at a sky-high price of 150 million euros.

The Belgian midfielder is hailed as one of the best midfielders in European football last season, helping China Town to sweep the entire European football scene with a momentum, and is only 25 years old, at the peak of his prime, 150 million euros is undoubtedly a very ideal transfer price.

And when they sent away a number of core players one after another, everyone thought that Chinatown's player supermarket was going to open the doorway, but Chinatown resolutely announced that it rejected Chelsea's poaching of Kante, and Real Madrid's offer of up to 100 million euros for Varane and Ilia Ramendi.

Technical director Cantarero said that these players are not for sale in Chinatown and the team will not sell them.

At the same time, the technical director of Chinatown also said that the transfer door of the team this summer has been closed, and there will be no more sales and reinforcements, which also makes all the teams that are still coveting Chinatown have to regretfully withdraw their attention.

With eight key players for sale, Chinatown has received a total of one billion euros in transfer fees, which has shocked the whole world and even shocked the entire European football world.

What's even more shocking is that Chinatown has invested only 20 million euros in transfers, bringing in Benjamin Mendy and Nelson Semedo, which is undoubtedly quite unbelievable.

Could it be that Chinatown plans to rely on a group of young players in the team to live in the new season?

In this regard, head coach Valverde said that after the training camp for the new season, he has a fairly in-depth understanding of the overall strength of the team, and he believes that the current squad of the team is fully capable of coping with La Liga.

On August 10, the Chinese city team, which had just returned to Europe from North America after participating in the International Champions Cup, soon ushered in the UEFA Super Cup in Norway, against the Europa League champions, La Liga side Sevilla.

Interestingly, Sevilla will also face Chinatown in their next two Spanish Super Cup matches.

After Zidane announced his departure from Chinatown, Emery was once included as a candidate for the position of coach of Chinatown, he used to be Gao Han's assistant, and it was natural to go directly to Chinatown, but in the end Chinatown chose Athletic Bilbao coach Valverde, who could not play with Gao Han, which is undoubtedly unexpected.

Therefore, the UEFA Super Cup is also seen by the media as a battle for Unai Emery to prove himself.

Both sides have done their best, and although China City has sold eight cores in one go, Valverde can still put out a better squad than Sevilla.

Goalkeeper David De Gea, Benjamin Mendy, Umtiti, Raphael Varane and Bellerin at the back, N'Golo Kante in midfield, Isco and Asensio in the middle, and the front three with a combination of Jose, Anthony Martial and Kingsley Koeman.

Cork was injured in the summer preparation and missed the game.

From the start of the game, Chinatown took the lead and played very aggressively, and in the 21st minute, Isco assisted Asensio to score a goal, and the young player was quite active.

After the replay in the second half, a cross from the right from Bellerin allowed the late inserted Jesus to score again.

Towards the end of the game, China City had a corner kick and quickly opened up a tactical corner, Benjamin Mendy crossed diagonally from the left, and Varane headed home in the box to make it 3-0.

In the end, Chinatown defeated Sevilla in Norway with three goals and won the UEFA Super Cup.

Not only that, after returning to Spain, Chinatown won Sevilla 2-0 away and 3-0 at home, with an aggregate score of 5-0, and won the Spanish Super Cup in the new season.

With three wins, eight goals scored and clean sheets, Ernesto Valverde's side have put in an unbelievable run from the start of the season, especially with the dynamism of this group of young players.

The whole world was screaming about Chinatown's dream start, and no one would have imagined that after selling eight key players, Chinatown would be able to resurrect in one summer.

This is not only due to Valverde's excellent training and preparation, but more importantly, Gao Han and Cantarero have built up a strong talent pool for Chinatown in the past few years.

At the beginning of August, there were many doubts that Chinatown would fall out of the top four due to summer hemorrhage, but now, the most discussed question is whether Chinatown can continue to challenge for the championship.
