Chapter 1069: Crazy Reinforcements

No one would have imagined that the pre-World Cup period would become the hottest period in the transfer market in European football.

Perhaps because of the lessons of last year, the giants' recruitment plans have been advanced to avoid waiting until August to fall into an embarrassing situation, so the giants have taken action before the World Cup.

After Atletico Madrid announced the signing of Sanchez for 80 million euros, Real Madrid also soon announced that it would bring in Brazilian winger Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain for a sky-high price of 150 million euros.

This news quickly detonated the world and shocked all fans.

At 150 million euros, it broke the record for a professional player set by Gareth Bale.

Everyone knew that this transfer deal would be a record if it went through, but no one would have imagined that this new record would come so quickly, and everyone thought that they would not be able to see the results until August, but they did not expect Real Madrid to be so fast.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have both officially announced transfer deals, but Neymar's joining ceremony will not take place until after the World Cup, but this does not prevent Real Madrid fans from celebrating.

Neymar, this is the future top superstar who has helped Paris Saint-Germain win the Grand Slam and was handpicked by Gao Han.

150 million euros, this sky-high price is indeed very high, but being able to buy a superstar of Neymar's level is definitely a great value.

What's more, this time Real Madrid beat Barcelona.

After Luis Enrique took office, the first thing to do was to find a strong teammate for Messi, and Neymar was the player he put at the top of the list, but now he was taken by Real Madrid, which undoubtedly represents a step ahead of the Galacticos in this arms race.

But Real Madrid is fast, and Barcelona is equally unambiguous.

On the eve of the opening of the World Cup, President Russell officially announced that the team brought in Suarez from Paris Saint-Germain for a sky-high price of 100 million euros plus Ibrahimovic.

This transfer deal shocked the world once again.

The 32-year-old Ibrahimovic joined Paris Saint-Germain in this way, which immediately sparked heated discussions among fans around the world.

There is no doubt that Suarez is one of the best individual players in football today, and it is indisputable that Barcelona brought in a Uruguayan striker at such a cost, but the problem is that Ibrahimovic is too famous.

This is known as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the past few years, the world's top three center forwards, although thirty-two years old, the state has declined from the peak, but the Swedish center is still one of the top superstars in European football, joining Paris Saint-Germain in this way, it is indeed a little unpleasant.

Many people can also see that Ibrahimovic and Barcelona management have indeed fallen out.

Paris Saint-Germain lost two superstars in the front field in one summer, although Ibrahimovic was added, and Cavani and Aubameyang were in charge, but both strength and momentum were still somewhat weak.

Most importantly, Andrea Pirlo is 35 years old, Rabiot is still a little immature, and PSG desperately needs to bring in a high-quality midfielder to fill Pirlo's vacancy, so Antro Enrique has his eye on Verratti in Chinatown.

The 21-year-old Italian midfielder, known as the midfield commander of Chinatown, was a crucial member of the team last season, performing very well, and was also hailed as Pirlo II in Italy, and Barcelona also listed him as the number one choice to strengthen the midfield this summer, hoping to replace Xavi with Verratti.

At the same time, he was poached by the two big teams of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, coupled with his excellent performance in Chinatown last season, Verratti's value naturally skyrocketed.

Chinatown's technical director Cantarero said in an interview with the media that Verratti is a core player of the club, and Chinatown will not accept any team's offer, and he is not for sale.

But fans all over the world know that there are two kinds of non-sale in European football, one is not for sale in Chinatown, and the other is other, and the definition of non-sale in Chinatown is the termination fee, and Verratti's termination fee is as high as 100 million euros.

But before Verratti was brought in, Barcelona had already begun a purge within the squad.

After trading Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain, Cesc Fabregas also moved to Chelsea for a whopping €40 million, and Mourinho hopes to use Cesc Fabregas' playmaking and passing skills to boost the Blues' attacking attacking prowess, while at the same time bringing in Spanish international Diego Costa from Real Madrid for €60 million.

Once Chelsea's leading centre-forward, Falcao was sold to Manchester United by Jose Mourinho for 40 million euros, and Pochettino is full of demands on the former favourite, hoping that the arrival of the Colombian centre-forward will strengthen Manchester United's forward line.

While many European giants have launched an arms race, the World Cup in Brazil, far away in South America, has finally ignited the flames.

But no one expected that on the second day of the World Cup, in the first game of Group B, Spain lost humiliatingly 1-5 to Louis van Gaal's Netherlands.

Xavi Alonso opened the scoring in the 27th minute before Robin van Persie equalised just before half-time, before Arjen Robben netted the second for the Netherlands to turn the scores on the turn at the start of the second half.

After that, Bosque replaced two players in one go, replacing Diego Costa with Torres and Xavi Alonso with Pedro, and continued to strengthen the attack, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the central defender De Vrij, who plays for Chinatown, scored a key goal for the Netherlands and further expanded the score.

De Vrij's goal shattered the balance of the pitch before Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben scored as the Netherlands beat Spain 5-1 to give the defending champions an embarrassing defeat.

The fiasco shocked the world, not only by all fans, but also by professional football.

It's not that Spain can't afford to lose, but no one would have imagined that it would lose so badly anyway.

What's even more incredible is that after losing 5-1 to the Netherlands, Spain lost 0-2 to Sampaoli's Chile in the second round of the group that followed.

Interestingly, in both games, Diego Costa was replaced by Fernando Torres in the 64th minute.

After suffering two consecutive defeats in the group stage, Spain defeated Australia 3-0 in the third round, but ultimately failed to qualify, once again creating the tragedy of the defending champions' exit from the group stage.

What is even more unexpected is that as the World Cup schedule deepened, when everyone began to have full confidence in the host Brazil team, thinking that Brazil was likely to win the World Cup in their home country, the Brazilian team lost to the German team coached by Loew in the semi-finals with a score of 1-7, which once again created a big upset.

German midfielder Toni Kroos won the Man of the Match with two shots and one pass.

This game once again made the world fry the pot, and the match-fixing rhetoric was noisy.

After this game, Real Madrid announced that at a high price of 50 million euros, the introduction of midfield international player Tony Kroos from Bayern Munich, plus James Rodriguez, who shined in the Colombian national team, Real Madrid can be said to have won the two major midfield superstars of the World Cup.

For the transfer of Toni Kroos, the Bayern Munich management has also been criticized by fans.

The German international's contract is only until 2015, but the management has been at loggerheads with Toni Kroos over a contract extension and has not been able to negotiate it before the World Cup, giving Real Madrid the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Everyone knows that Toni Kroos is a midfield star that Gao Han has personally discovered and cultivated, and his strength is extraordinary, and he should have become the core of the club's midfield, but it is indeed dissatisfying that the management has made such a serious mistake in the renewal of the contract of such an important player.

Not only the fans, but Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his displeasure with the transfer of Toni Kroos, believing that the German international should be the most important member of the club's midfield, and now the transfer to Real Madrid will be a huge loss for Bayern Munich.

Coincidentally, after announcing the introduction of Toni Kroos, Real Madrid also announced again that it would introduce Argentine striker Aguero from Bayern Munich at a sky-high price of 100 million euros.

Two blockbuster transfers have once again detonated the European ball market.

With 150 million Neymar, 50 million Toni Kroos, plus this 100 million Aguero, Real Madrid has invested 300 million euros in the three superstars, which is simply insane.

And the introduction of the three giants of La Liga this season is also full of expectations for the new season.

With the addition of Neymar and Sergio Aguero, coupled with former champion Gareth Bale, Real Madrid's front three in the new season is formidable, and the new season of the Galaxy is bound to set off an attacking frenzy in La Liga.

Barcelona are also not far behind, although they failed to bring in Neymar and Sanchez, but the combination of Pedro, Suarez and Messi is also the best in the world, and everyone is looking forward to Verratti's arrival, which can make up for the last shortcoming in the Barcelona squad and allow Luis Enrique to create a dream four.

Although Atletico Madrid is relatively low-key, it has also invested more than 100 million euros in the transfer market, introducing Godin and Sanchez, two stars, especially Sanchez, plus Torres and Navas, Atletico Madrid's attacking combination is also not weaker than the two giants of the Western Super League.

As for Chinatown, there is not much movement in the transfer market, but the attacking duo of Hazard, Roberto Firmino and Antoine Griezmann, who have scored 60 goals in a single season, should not be underestimated.

With the arrival of strong reinforcements, the competition in La Liga will undoubtedly become particularly fierce in the new season.

The day before the World Cup final, Gao Han finally arrived in Brazil with the visiting team of the top leader.

In addition to the ministers, there were also many political and business figures on this trip, but Gao Han was the most eye-catching in the visiting team.

As the most successful and greatest head coach in the world's history, Gao Han's visit to Brazil, the football kingdom, naturally attracted the attention of the media and fans, and even many important Brazilian politicians inevitably took the initiative to meet and communicate with Gao Han in private.

Although Gao Han is not good at dealing with this kind of social situation, he still tries to maintain his demeanor and meet the requirements of everyone.

The day after his arrival in Brazil, the government meeting had nothing to do with Gao Han, and he took the opportunity to visit the German and Dutch national teams participating in the World Cup finals, and was warmly greeted by Loew, Van Gaal and the players of both teams.

Both teams have a lot of players who have been cultivated by Gao Han, and they are all very surprised to see Gao Han before the final, but they are also happy.

But on the night of the World Cup final, when Gao Han appeared at the Maracanã Stadium with the group and was about to go to the stands, the confidential secretary next to the chief suddenly came over.

"Mr. Gao Han, the chief, please come and sit with him. ”

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding ministers and political and business celebrities were all stunned, and then full of envy.
