Chapter 31: Set sail in a flashy manner
After the World Cup in Brazil, the transfer of European football has resumed its excitement, even more surging than in previous years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info23us. is the fastest
This summer's transfer campaign has been frenetic and ended in the final minute with Manchester United's incredible signing of Falcao. Yes, no matter how much Real Madrid or Barcelona stir up the transfer market, it is not surprising enough, and the most surprising thing this summer is that Manchester United have joined the maelstrom.
Compared with Monaco, which is no longer crazy, Paris Saint-Germain, who is no longer arrogant, and Abou, who continues to be obsessed with football, Manchester United showed the boldness of the giants for the first time in Van Gaal's promise after a gray season, and people even suspect that Florentino, who sold quite vigorously this time, "joined" the Red Devils.
Looking at the European giants, they have all been replenished to a greater or lesser extent this summer. Starting from the European champion Real Madrid, on the surface, the champion Di Maria has gone, but the introduction of Kroos is definitely not mediocre, people generally look down on Ronaldo, but some people disagree with it, Colombians are indeed unlikely to integrate into the Real Madrid system in a short period of time, but his strength and alertness will definitely have a day when the run-in will be completed, and it will not be too long. In addition, if Isco is bloody and ruthless, Real Madrid's midfield strength will only increase. With Cristiano Ronaldo, how many clubs have such an attacking configuration?
European runners-up and La Liga champions Atletico Madrid have changed their bodies, which is not a good start, with the meritorious goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and the leading killer Diego Costa gone, but Simeone told me that this is the combination he wants the most, and those who say this must have the bottom of their hearts. One thing is for sure, now all of Europe is afraid to look at Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona can never ignore it, even if there was nothing last season, Suarez's arrival is a fear, because his absence is easy for people to ignore this, but at least 8 managers in La Liga have shown that it is a very unreliable thing to deal with Messi and Suarez, and the only hope is that these two will always lack one or not get along.
Bundesliga champions Bayern are like the German team that will never sink, Guardiola did his best not to keep Kroos and lose Martinez. Will Bayern Munich's domination of the Bundesliga still be as unshakable?
Serie A champions Juventus have not done much, which is a phenomenon in Italian football today, and for many clubs there it is more important to keep the fire alive than to refire it.
Premier League runners-up Manchester City, who lost a lot of looting in the summer and didn't make a big deal in the transfer market, has to do with the club's new mindset as a Premier League upstart, with an increasing focus on developing talent in the hands of a group of former Barcelona owners, who will one day see what City can do in this regard.
Back to the refreshing Manchester United, a team with a chance to acquire Cesc Fabregas, but the World Cup delayed the club's operations, so they had to sign Bilbao newcomer Herrera for the same price and Di Maria and Falcao for an even more incredible price. Louis van Gaal has practiced such signing blitzes at Barcelona, with successes and failures, leaving even more suspense in the air this time.
It is worth mentioning that Chelsea's signings have also been extremely productive, with Jose Mourinho's second season often terrifying, and an important element of this was that he acquired the team and players he absolutely wanted.
Throughout the summer transfer window, The Premier League invested 1.00 billion euros, introduced 0 players, sent away 68 players, and the net expenditure reached 487 million; La Liga, which ranked second, invested 480 million euros, introduced 77 players, and sent away 7 players, because the total income reached 590 million, generating a surplus of 4.71 million; the third place was Serie A, which invested 100 million euros, introduced 175 players, and sent away 795 people; the fourth Bundesliga invested 84 million yuan, introduced 8 players, and sent away 9 people; the fifth place French Ligue 1 invested 110 million yuan, introduced 85 players, sent away 61 people, and achieved a surplus of 79.5 million, which is the league with the largest surplus in European leagues except the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League.
Judging from this summer's transfer window, the position of the first league of the Premier League is still consolidating, and its total investment is slightly less than that of La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga.
If the surplus is counted alone, the Eredivisie is the top of the leagues with 980,000 euros, while its investment is only 1.86 million, and the position of the seller's market remains unchanged, followed by the Portuguese Super League, Ligue 1, La Liga and La Liga.
Relatively speaking, Blackburn's preparation was the most relaxed in the Premier League, and after Suarez's departure, they soon saw off another superstar in the team.
On July, Real Madrid officially announced the signing of World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez on a six-year contract.
Real Madrid announced on its official website: "Real Madrid and Blackburn have agreed on a transfer fee for James Rodriguez, and the Colombian international will sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid. James Rodriguez will be at the Bernabeu Stadium this Tuesday at 8 p.m. ”
Regarding Ronaldo's transfer fee, the Spanish media are almost all standard, the Spanish media "Marca" introduced, J Ronaldo's transfer fee is 89 million pounds, he signed with Real Madrid until June 00, he will wear Real Madrid's No. 10 shirt, and Ronaldo's annual salary is 5 million euros. There is also a floating clause of 5 million, and if Ronaldo wins the Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid will also pay a €5 million Ballon d'Or clause.
The current age of James Rodriguez shone at the just-concluded World Cup in Brazil, where he won the World Cup Golden Boot with six goals. In the match between Colombia and Uruguay in the round of 16 of the World Cup, James Rodriguez's volley was named the best goal of the World Cup.
As early as after Colombia defeated Uruguay 0 during the World Cup, Ronaldo was interviewed, saying that he was a Real Madrid fan since he was a fan of Real Madrid, expressing his desire to join Real Madrid, and he also asked his agent Mendes to operate the transfer transaction to Real Madrid.
J Ronaldo's wonderful performance in the World Cup has also made Real Madrid's top management unforgettable, so the Galaxy Battleship regards J Ronaldo as a major target for this summer's recruitment. Real Madrid and Blackburn soon negotiated the transfer fee of Ronaldo, and the negotiations between them were not as difficult as expected, at first Blackburn insisted on asking the same price as Ronaldo of 90 million pounds, and Real Madrid was only willing to bid to 75 million pounds, but the negotiations did not fall into a stalemate for too long, after several discussions, the transfer fee was finally finalized at 89 million pounds, which is only 1 million pounds less than Ronaldo, naturally in order to appease the team's top names.
After the departures of Suarez and J Ronaldo, Blackburn Rovers soon announced a third departure this summer.
On July 4, La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid announced through its official website that it had officially reached a transfer agreement with Blackburn, Torres would officially return to Calderón, and T9 would play for Atletico Madrid until June 016.
Atletico Madrid revealed on its official website that Torres will undergo a medical examination arranged by Atletico Madrid, and then officially join Atletico Madrid.
In order to catch the last train of the World Cup in Brazil last season, Torres, who was difficult to play at Blackburn, returned to Atletico Madrid on loan in the winter transfer period, and helped his old club win the La Liga title, and after the team's top scorer Costa joined Chelsea this summer, Atletico Madrid chose to bring back Torres for a transfer fee of 1 million pounds.
In 001, at the age of 17, Torres made his debut for Atletico Madrid, and then he grew into the darling of the Calderón Stadium, also wearing the captain's armband, during his time at Atletico Madrid, Torres made a total of 44 appearances, scored 91 goals, and in the summer of 007, he joined Blackburn Rovers for a transfer fee of 6.5 million pounds, won the 010 Ballon d'Or, and has been there ever since.
The official website of Atletico Madrid solemnly introduces the return of T9 to the Calderón Stadium with "Torres Comes Home", and after 7 years, Torres has officially returned to his old club.
After Costa's departure, Torres' rival up front will be Mandzukic, who joined the team in the summer, and T9 may not be able to become Atletico's top scorer.
After Torres joined Atletico Madrid, Blackburn Rovers managed to deliver a star to all three of La Liga's last three this summer, Barcelona's Luis Suarez, Atletico Madrid's J Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid's Fernando Torres.
These three alone brought Blackburn a transfer fee of £190 million!
It is worth mentioning that before the start of the World Cup, most people reprimanded Blackburn for selling Suarez to Barcelona as an extremely stupid deal, but after the World Cup biting storm and Suarez's global seven-month ban began to be implemented, many people began to praise Blackburn's transfer.
Regardless of how much Suarez's form will decline during this seven-month ban, the bad impact of the negative image on the club alone is not just tens of millions that can be subsided.
Blackburn Rovers reaped a huge transfer proceeds of £190 million just by selling three people, so naturally they have no room to skimp on recruitment.
As early as June 17, Blackburn announced on their official website that Croatian player Rakitic would join the team next season for the first signing of the summer.
Blackburn Rovers and Sevilla FC have reached an agreement on the transfer of Rakitic, who will sign a five-year contract with the Roses for a fee of £18 million, plus a floating clause of £000,000.
After three seasons with Sevilla, the six-year-old moved to Blackburn Rovers from Sevilla. Rakitic scored 15 goals in 59 appearances for Sevilla last season, captaining Sevilla to win this year's Europa League and was named the Europa League final himself.
Blackburn made Rakitic appear at the Rose Theatre on June 1 at 8 p.m. Arthur deliberately postponed their trip to the World Cup in Brazil for this reason.
In fact, there is some controversy within Blackburn about Rakitic's signing, because in addition to Rakitic in this position, Blackburn also has an option for German midfielder Kroos.
than age, more than fame, than economic effect...... Kroos, the new World Cup winner, is better than Rakitic, but in the end, under Klopp's strong proposal, Arthur finally made the decision, and it was Rakitic.
It's not that Cross is bad here, it's just that it feels like Blackburn is not lacking in this type at the moment. Comparatively speaking, what Blackburn lack more is midfield hardness, and Rakitic is exactly what Blackburn are missing.
Just like the previous Real Madrid wanted Rakitic at first, and Rakitic was once very close to the Bernabeu, and then Real Madrid gave up Rakitic for Kroos, and the latter helped Barcelona win the treble.
Rakitic can play the role of a defensive sapper in Blackburn's midfield this season, and his replacement could give Alonso a second life. The reason why Blackburn conceded more goals last season was that the midfield was all attacking players, with Alonso, Pogba, Lampard, J Ronaldo and others all strong in attack and weak in defence. Blackburn's attacking midfield is the strongest, lacking a defensive engineer, and Rakitic can play this role at the same time, because of the excellent attacking ability of his teammates, his playmaking ability can also be fully exploited in Blackburn.
After the introduction of Rakitic, Blackburn's second personnel addition was not a reinforcement, but a return on loan, Zhang Lin returned from Belshort in the first division on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Zhang Lin had a very good season at Belshot, making one appearance and contributing one goal and two assists after joining in the winter. Zhang Lin's ability is undoubted, although he can't form a strong impact on Blackburn's main right-back position, but as a substitute, he may not be unable to play a role, this loan return is a more sensible choice, can help Zhang Lin regain his form, re-establish self-confidence. Returning to the Premier League next season, I believe Zhang Lin's performance will be better.
On the last day of July, Blackburn announced the introduction of Riyad Mahrez, a player from Leicester City, a promoted Polo team from the Premier League, for a transfer fee of £000,000.
Leicester City signed Riyad Mahrez for around £400,000 last year, and now it looks like a great value transfer, quadrupling in less than half a year.
The introduction of Mahrez was seen as a stopgap measure to compensate for Neymar's inability to play for Blackburn Rovers early in the season due to injury, but Arthur did not believe that was the case.
In the previous 015-16 season, Mahrez scored 17 goals and provided 11 assists in the Premier League, won the Premier League MVP, and led Leicester City to the Premier League title, and was elected African Footballer of the Year in 016.
How can such a player be a stopgap measure?
If Zhang Lin's return to Riyad Mahrez's signing is just rain, then the next Blackburn Rover's arrival is a storm.
On the afternoon of August, Blackburn officially announced that the club officially signed the French international Griezmann, who plays for Real Sociedad, for which Blackburn will pay Real Sociedad 5 million pounds, which is equivalent to 0 million euros The transfer fee 0 million is the liquidated damages figure in Griezmann's contract.
Griezmann is a rising star in the past two seasons, in the 01-1 season, Griezmann scored 10 goals in 4 appearances, last season, he scored 16 goals in 5 league appearances, and his outstanding performance, the young Griezmann was selected for the French national team to participate in the World Cup in Brazil. At the World Cup in Brazil, he played in five matches for France, starting one of them. Although there were no goals, the performance was still commendable.
Blackburn Rovers reported on their website, "We have reached an agreement with Real Sociedad that the young French footballer Antoine Griezmann will officially join after completing the medical examination and other formalities. ”
For Griezmann's joining, Arthur can only be described as satisfied, because in the previous life of 016, Griezmann was the third person in European football after Messi and Ronaldo.
Antoine Griezmann was the last player Blackburn brought in this summer, but it wasn't the last deal.
In the early morning of August 11, Blackburn officially announced that they had reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 on the transfer of central defender Kompany, and the Belgian will officially join Grand Paris for a transfer fee of 46 million pounds, and Kompany will sign a four-year contract with his new club. As a result, Kompany surpassed team-mate Thiago Silva to become the most expensive defender in football.
The 8-year-old Kompany is the absolute main force of Blackburn, but last season because of injuries, the team's young defenders Phil Jones, Alderweireld, Varane grew at an astonishing rate, and after Kompany's return, it has been difficult to shake the main center-back rotation combination of Phil Jones + Alderweireld + Varane, and it seems that Kompany himself has not had a good time at Blackburn, only 19 appearances in the Premier League for the team throughout the year, which also makes the transfer possible.
Kompany's departure has little impact on Blackburn Rovers in the new season, in addition to the main center-back rotation combination of Phil Jones + Alderweireld + Varane, the 0-year-old Stones has also grown at a gratifying rate, and Ivanovic is also capable of playing as a central defender, Blackburn Rovers is not short of central defenders in the new season.
With that, Blackburn's summer transfer has come to a perfect end. Although Arthur has already decided not to be a player supermarket, the data of transferring out 800 million this summer, transferring 5 million, and net income of 185 million seems to have slapped him in the face.
But for the strength of the team, but the ability to earn a huge fortune, how can the thick black Arthur mind slapping his face?
……
With 014-15 Blackburn Rovers lineup (9 players):
Goalkeepers: Cech, Tom White, Friedel
Defenders: Baines, Azpilicueta, Danny Rose, Phil Jones, Alderweireld, Varane, Stones, Branislav Ivanovic, Zhang Lin, Bellerin
