After Figo joined the team, Blackburn vice chairman Mensa Bonsu immediately announced that the team's transfer door this summer has been completely closed, and no more players will be brought in, and there will be no sale of young talents coveted by other giants such as Ronaldo, Robben, Bentley, etc. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Summing up Black's summer transfers, the players transferred:

Friedel: £10 million transfer fee;

Dellas: £1 million transfer fee;

Li Tie: £4 million transfer fee;

Davies: £5 million transfer fee;

Ibrahimovic: £60 million transfer fee.

Blackburn have left as many as five players this summer, including Ibrahimovic who was the absolute mainstay of last season's team, with a total of £80 million!

In terms of recruitment:

Barthez: Free transfer;

Nemanja Vidic: £7 million transfer fee;

Las Diarra: £1 million transfer fee;

Figo: Free transfer.

Blackburn, who won last season's treble, brought in four players in the summer transfer window, but spent only £8 million on transfers – the bottom three of the 20 teams in the Premier League!

With £80 million in revenue and a tenth of the expenses, Blackburn made a profit of £72 million over the summer!

And 72 million pounds, not only allowed Blackburn to directly repay the remaining loan for the new stadium in advance, but even added millions of pounds to spare.

This kind of investment has made many insiders sweat for Blackburn, but they can't find the big problem with Blackburn's summer transfer.

Ibrahimovic is gone, but Drogba's performances during Ibrahimovic's injury last season have proved that he can be relied upon. And the veterans on the bench, Larsson and Van Persie, one has experience and the other has momentum.

The new season's Blackburn striker, even if there is no Premier League scorer king last season, still has the best forward configuration in the Premier League.

In terms of midfield, Li Tie's departure has little impact, and Davis's departure only makes Blackburn no longer as calm as last season when facing three or four fronts, but with the thickness of the squad, it is enough to deal with it calmly.

And the arrival of Figo will make Blackburn's utilitarian new season increase infinite changes, and what kind of wonderful chemistry the Portuguese gang in the main squad will play is very exciting.

In the backline, Friedel and Delas's other team has little impact, after all, the former is difficult for Friedel to get too many opportunities as the second goalkeeper because of the particularity of the goalkeeper position, and the latter is only the fifth choice of Blackburn's central defender, which is even more insignificant.

The addition of Barthez and Nemanja Vidic will not only make up for the absence of Friedel and Delas since their departures, but will also improve the team's strength.

All in all, although Blackburn Rovers are once again profitable, earning more than 100 million euros, they are still the favourites for all the titles in the new season.

The Blue Devil Dynasty will not fall!

In addition to meeting Figo in person for this summer's transfer, Arthur left all other transfer matters to Monchi, Mensa Bangsu and Mourinho to negotiate.

In addition to the trust in the three of them, there was another thing that entangled Arthur and left him with no time to care.

Football games refer to games with football as the theme of the game, at present, the main football game players are concentrated in the operation class, mainly players of the "Pro Evolution Soccer" and "FIFA" series, the main purpose of football games is to compete with wisdom, players need to unify operations and tactics to defeat the opponent.

But there are also many players who like simulation management such as "Football Manager" and so on, and there will also be developers who cater to the needs of players and develop some interesting and funny football games, such as the "Blood" series and so on.

And this summer, Arthur's football game, which has been brewing for nearly three years, is finally about to get a piece of the big football game market!

Soccer is the name Arthur has chosen for his company's soccer game, and soccer_2006 is the culmination of Arthur's three-year-long ambition this summer.

The official release date of "soccer_2006" is August 27th, and it is clear that Arthur does not want to collide with Konami's "Pro Evolution Soccer" and EA's "FIFA", but instead releases "soccer_2006" a month ahead of the two gaming giants to seize the football game market.

"soccer_2006", as the first part of the "Soccer" series, naturally wants to go all out to start the first shot.

Using the Fox engine developed by Hideo Kojima, who brought Konami to prominence in the previous life, soccer_2006 created a series of features that emphasized realism and teamwork, and gave it a significant head start over the later releases of Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA 2006 in terms of player development, action detail, and manual elements.

As a veteran football gamer in the previous life, Arthur, in addition to a lot of highly targeted opinions in the development process of "soccer_2006", "soccer_2006" compared with the two major competitors, also added new elements such as fast kick-off, training mode, can import players' faces, snowy weather, rationalization of player growth curve, free kick quick switch penalty players, custom free kick tactics, collision system, etc., striving to please both light players and hardcore players.

And knowing that there will be many PC game users in the future, Arthur pushed to make the hybrid operation of keyboard and mouse in "soccer_2006" evolve, ensuring the favor of PC users.

"soccer_2006" also "originally" a new game mode - "One Goal to Fame" mode, allowing players to create their own games, let their created player characters grow all the way, and eventually become the world's attention to the star.

According to Arthur, the one-goal fame model is inspired by the movie of the same name released in March this year, and he believes that many fans who love "One Ball to Fame" will come to try "soccer_2006" and fall in love with this football game.

Of course, Arthur won't admit that he is plagiarizing the idea of his previous Kanomi's Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

In terms of publicity, Arthur has invested a lot of money, such as "soccer_2006" directly signed Ibrahimovic, Lampard, Ronaldinho, Beckham and many other football superstars as endorsements, and "One Goal Fame" starring Channing Tatum and Jessica Alba endorse the "One Goal Fame" model, and the celebrity endorsement fee alone is nearly 30 million US dollars.

Arthur's reckless investment has also paid off a lot, as a football powerhouse in the United Kingdom, "soccer_2006" sales are very good, successfully winning the first week sales of the British game, and breaking the record of football games in the United Kingdom.

According to the results released by the British agency gfk_entertainment, "soccer_2006" increased the sales of "FIFA" and "Pro Evolution Soccer" in the first week released last year by 18%, causing headaches for the two football game giants that were released more than a month late.

Even Arthur, in order to seize the global football game market, "soccer_2006" launched a cheap online version, players only need to buy an account to download the game on the Internet, and the online version is only 60% of the price of the physical version.

In Asia and South America, where piracy is hard-hit, Arthur even asked the company to secretly publish incomplete "high-quality imitations" on the network in the region, so that players on these planets can come into contact with "soccer_2006" and get used to the operation of "soccer_2006", so as to avoid players from contacting "Pro Evolution Soccer" and "FIFA" again.

Arthur's trick is exactly the same as the small trick rumored by Microsoft in the previous life, that is, to grab the market through piracy.

Just like users who are accustomed to Apple's iOS system, it will be very uncomfortable to use the Android system again. In the same way, as long as players are accustomed to the operation of "soccer_2006", playing "Pro Evolution Soccer" and "FIFA" will definitely feel awkward in a short period of time, so that these players continue to choose the sequel after "soccer_2006".

Compared to Konami and EA, Arthur is definitely not wealthy, and even slightly lacking at the moment, but Arthur is not ready to make a profit in the "Soccer" series for a few years, he just wants to get a bigger voice and a higher status in the football circle that the position of chairman of Blackburn Rovers cannot give him.

Moreover, the "Soccer" series cannot be profitable, but it can bring direct benefits to Arthur in other aspects, such as in the "One Goal to Fame" mode, players create new players, regardless of the stage, the team options to choose to join will be Belshot, Gremio Club, Asec Mimosa and Blackburn Rovers, and these clubs have the same owner, Arthur Walker.

Players create virtual players who join these clubs, not necessarily become fans of these clubs, but at least there is a good chance that they will be, right?

The "soccer_2006" release boom is still playing out around the world, and the new season of the Premier League has slowly begun.
