If there is one word to describe the European summer transfer market in '09, there is no better place than the turbulence.

In the midst of this rolling tide, Manchester City thundered in silence and made a splash.

First, at the end of June, it was first revealed by the media that Manchester City would sign Gao Han with a sky-high annual salary, and soon the British media photographed Gao Han's wife Lin Xia looking for real estate in Manchester, which confirmed the rumors that Gao Han was coaching Manchester City.

This directly made the whole European football fry.

After leading Bayern Munich to win the Champions League, Gao Han has undoubtedly embarked on the legendary road of the European professional league, whether he likes him or not, he is waiting for his final destination.

No one wants to be an enemy of such a manager.

But few would have imagined that he would go on to coach a team like Manchester City that has not even qualified for Europe.

So soon the media broke the news that after Gao Han coached Manchester City, his annual salary after tax was as high as 50 million pounds, which is the highest sky-high annual salary in European football.

That Gao Han coached Manchester City for money?

Many people are willing to think this way, but others do not see it that way, which has sparked controversy and discussion.

But just when everyone was discussing, the media broke the news again that Manchester City suddenly came out with a knife, ahead of Real Madrid, and intercepted AC Milan's Kaka, and successfully won the world footballer at a sky-high price of 70 million euros.

Everyone knows that AC Milan is in a financial crisis and is in urgent need of money, and selling Kaka is their best option this summer, but no one thought that Real Madrid, which was originally considered to be ironclad and will win Kaka, lost to Manchester City in the first kick, why is this?

As Kaka's mentor, Gao Han has undoubtedly become the focus of public opinion again.

But the aftermath of Kaka's record-breaking transfer has not completely subsided, and many media and fans are still immersed in this transfer of the century, the Italian media broke the news again, Manchester City successfully signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Inter Milan at a sky-high price of 100 million euros, which is the second consecutive sky-high transfer of Manchester City in a week after signing Kaka.

At 100 million euros, this is the largest transfer record in the history of European football.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and couldn't have imagined that this would be the case, with two superstars coming together at Manchester City.

Fans all over the world are crazy and seriously wonder what the hell is going on with Manchester City.

What exactly are they trying to do?

The crowd has not yet received an answer, but the seismic transfer has once again detonated the market.

The Spanish newspaper Marca was the first to disclose that the three superstar players in the Atletico Madrid team, goalkeeper Peter Cech, midfielders Xavi Alonso and David Silva, will be transferred to Manchester City for a package price of 100 million euros.

It's breaking 100 million again!

In less than ten days, Manchester City has made two transfers of more than 100 million yuan, and this time they have also brought in three superstar players in one go, which is absolutely unbelievable.

According to Marca, Manchester City were able to persuade Atletico Madrid to release the man because Gao Han personally negotiated with Cerezo and Junior Hill during his time in Madrid and successfully persuaded them to nod.

Atletico Madrid will use the transfer income of 100 million euros to pay off all the debts of the club.

In addition to shock, it is still shock!

Everyone was puzzled and couldn't understand why Manchester City was burning money so aggressively.

But City's pace of burning money has clearly not stopped.

Soon, the Spanish newspaper Marca broke the news again that Manchester City brought in midfielder Javi Martinez from Athletic Bilbao at a high price of 30 million euros in the form of liquidated damages.

For this player, if you are not a fan who is familiar with La Liga, you will not know it at all, let alone be familiar with it, but even so, Manchester City still paid 30 million euros for him, which is already the value of a first-line star in Europe.

It is entirely conceivable that Athletic Bilbao refused to sell, but Manchester City forced it.

So what is it that makes Gao Han value this Javi Martinez so much?

In less than ten days, 300 million yuan was invested wildly, what does Gao Han want to do?

Not to mention the entire Premier League, even the entire European football scene, and even the whole world, was completely shocked.

In just a few days, Manchester City has completely become synonymous with getting rich, and even many fans have begun to criticize Gao Han, believing that what he did at Manchester City has disrupted the entire European transfer market.

No, the superstars have been robbed by Manchester City, what else is Real Madrid robbing?

Manchester City chairman Hosni Mubarak said in an interview with the British media that the club will unconditionally support Gao Han's decision and will do whatever it takes to bring all the players he wants to Gao Han, even Messi.

As soon as these words came out, the whole world was in an uproar again.

After robbing Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, Manchester City is still unwilling to rob Messi again?

The most nervous is Barcelona, who urgently met with Messi's agent father to appease Messi to stay in the team.

But just when all eyes were on Messi, Manchester City struck again, bringing in Benzema, a talented French striker from Lyon who has been very vigorous in the last two seasons.

This transfer is really a tiger's mouth.

This summer, there are many teams that have looked at Benzema, Ferguson's Manchester United, and Real Madrid are all determined to win this talented striker, but unexpectedly, Benzema ended up in Manchester City.

Regarding this transfer, the French team newspaper interviewed an anonymous source familiar with the inside story, revealing that the reason why Benzema went to Manchester City was because Gao Han personally flew from Manchester to Lyon to talk to him and elaborate on Manchester City's plans for the new season.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but as far as I know, it was a very big trial. ”

It is said that the reason why Gao Han is willing to coach Manchester City this time is because Mansour personally promised that he would unconditionally cooperate with Gao Han to conduct a great experiment in Manchester City and the Premier League. ”

"Benzema told me that no one would turn down an opportunity like that, so he almost didn't hesitate to say yes to Gao Han's invitation. ”

Coincidentally, after announcing Benzema's arrival, the German newspaper Bild also quickly broke the news, and a senior executive of Bayern Munich confirmed that the Bundesliga giants had agreed to Manchester City's offer for Luka Modric, allowing them to negotiate their personal treatment.

The news once again sounded the alarm for the entire European transfer market, and everyone was in disbelief as it looked like they were going to play a game of football, putting together an eleven-man starting team in one summer.

Could it be that this is the ideal eleven people in his mind?

Obviously, no one knows the answer, but the madness caused by Manchester City continues.

After signing Modric, Milan Sports soon broke the news that Manchester City had successfully signed Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez, and the Chilean winger was also impressed by Alpin's plan.

Sanchez, who is still on vacation in South America, said in an interview with Chilean domestic media that he admires Gao Han very much, and after a long cross-strait telephone communication with Gao Han, he asked the national team coach Bielsa for his opinion, and finally decided to transfer to Manchester City.

"Bielsa told me to believe him and it was going to be a wonderful journey. ”

Just one day after signing Sanchez, Manchester City officially announced that it had officially reached an agreement with Liverpool to successfully bring in Argentine midfielder Xavi Mascherano, a world-class midfielder who will travel from Argentina to Manchester in the next two days to sign.

It can be said that from late June to early July, not only in Europe, but almost all over the world, the media reported the news of Manchester City every day, and everyone was shocked by this new powerhouse injected by Middle Eastern tycoons.

Especially when Manchester City signed Xavi Mascherano and announced that the club's transfer was temporarily over, there were even many people who were a little stunned, and how did they feel like it stopped?

Manchester City general manager Paul Futrey said in an interview with the British media that the team's recruitment plan is almost underway, and the next step will be to arrange for players to transfer out and try to control the number of players in the first team to around 25.

This undoubtedly sounded the clarion call for Manchester City's purge.

But in the end, the local tyrant is a local tyrant, and even the purge is very arrogant, and many players even directly terminate their contracts and let them transfer freely, so that they can ask for higher salaries from the new team, and the club does not take a penny.

After entering July, Manchester City successively held a grand debut ceremony at the City Stadium in the east of Manchester for the addition of superstars such as Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, and almost every superstar attracted a full stadium of Manchester City fans to welcome and make a huge noise.

The only regret that caused fans and media reporters to arrive was that Gao Han never appeared.

Manchester City's crazy money burning has completely broken the pattern of the entire Premier League, especially the addition of Gao Han, which has made Manchester City the hottest team in the Premier League in the new season.

With a staggering investment of more than 400 million euros, it accounts for half of the total investment in the entire Premier League, and the other 19 teams, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, all add up to compete with Manchester City.

This also made the British media very excited, and the Sun even shouted the slogan on the front page, Manchester City singled out the Premier League.

But this season's Premier League transfer spending is not as frantic as it was in previous years, with the exception of Manchester City, where most of the other 19 teams have spent less than last season.

Manchester United only have one heavyweight signing, Valencia, which has spent 17 million pounds, and the rest of the players basically do not spend much, and the main thing is to retain the operation of existing players, such as Tevez in the most spirit of the Red Devils.

Chelsea also tightened their money this summer, and many players, including Drogba, have made transfer rumors, but Chelsea is still stable, and after inviting the world-class coach Scolari to coach, Chelsea only brought in defender Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow for 18 million pounds.

As for Arsenal, it only cost 11 million pounds to bring in defender Vermaelen from Ajax, Liverpool invested more, 20 million to bring in Aquilani from Roma, 18.5 million pounds to bring in right-back Glen Johnson from Portsmouth, plus Athens AEK's Greek defender Kirgakos, Liverpool spent about 40 million pounds.

As for the other teams, Tottenham Hotspur, under the auspices of the old Redknapp, has invested a lot of money, and is the second most invested team in the Premier League after Manchester City, but on the whole, it is mainly practical, bringing in many powerful stars including Crouch, Walker, Norton, Kranica and Bassoon, and basically all of them belong to players who have proven themselves in the Premier League.

Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur's strength has improved significantly this summer, but there is still a relatively large gap with the traditional top four.

The only one who really has the ability to challenge the traditional semi-final pattern is the cold Manchester City.

And fans, media reporters and football people around the world are also looking forward to it, just waiting to see what kind of team Gao Han will build with this investment of more than 400 million.

It was in this atmosphere that the training camp for the new season finally arrived.
