The World Cup has finally come to an end, and the pace of the new season is getting closer and closer.

According to Real Madrid's plan for the new season, the team officially started training on July 16, but all the international players participating in the World Cup are allowed to return to the team until July 31, and then the team will leave for Scotland for pre-season training.

Yang Yang returned to China with the team after playing the World Cup.

Later, while visiting relatives and friends, he took time to go to the mountains to attend the opening ceremony of a Hope Primary School.

Since making the decision to donate to build ten Hope Primary Schools every year, it is now the third year, Yang Yang also attaches great importance to this plan, and has always paid attention to it, as long as he is free, he is happy to participate in such activities.

Of course, he didn't report it in the media newspapers in a high-profile manner, and not many people knew about him.

Returning to Beijing from the mountains, Yang Yang flew directly to the United States for vacation.

On the one hand, because Su Ye is filming in the United States, and on the other hand, Winston Bogard was recruited by Benitez to Madrid, and it is said that the coaching staff tailored a so-called [resurrection plan] for Kaka, the purpose of which is to help Kaka Nirvana regenerate and stimulate his form in the new season.

After recuperating from an injury for half a year, Kaka's performance in the World Cup can only be regarded as average, but it seems that his physical condition should be recovering well, and I believe that after adjustment, he will soon be able to regain his form.

However, it may be impossible to reproduce the style of the long-distance king in Serie A.

Many internationals, including Yang Yang, Kaka and Robben, will either return before the team leaves for Scotland, or go to Scotland to join the team on their own.

As the new season approaches, the transfer market is also surging.

As the most powerful of Europe's four major leagues, the Premier League has been a big player in the transfer market since the start of the summer transfer season, especially Manchester United and Manchester City.

Manchester duo initially coveted Valencia's David Silva, and even had deep contact, but in the end, David Silva chose Real Madrid before the World Cup, and Florentino also stepped in to deal with Valencia management, and finally let the elf king of the Bat Army transfer to Real Madrid for 30 million euros.

The move undermined the transfer plans of the Manchester duo, and the two teams immediately turned their guns on Sneijder, who had performed well at Real Madrid, and launched a fierce battle.

First, Ferguson quoted a price of 30 million euros, but it was quickly rejected by Real Madrid, and then Manchester City also made an offer, hoping to bring in Sneijder for 10 million euros plus Robinho.

According to Robinho's market price, the Brazilian player is roughly around 25 million euros, which is still a lot smaller than when he first joined Manchester City.

Robinho was once Florentino's most valued talent rookie, and it has been rumored that Florentino is interested in recalling Robinho, but later as Yang Yang expressed his support for Robben, Real Madrid's idea of introducing Robinho gradually faded.

However, Real Madrid did need a wide player, so they were interested in City's offer and used it as a bargaining chip to gain an advantage in negotiations with Benfica on Di Maria, forcing them to cut the price.

Robinho was the first to come forward, stating that he would not be a top addition to any player, even if he was eager to return to Real Madrid.

Soon, Benfica also made concessions, and Real Madrid announced that it would introduce Argentine striker Di Maria from the Portuguese Super League Benfica for a transfer fee of 25 million euros, completely cutting off the possibility of Robinho returning to Real Madrid.

After that, Inter Milan also joined Sneijder's race.

Jose Mourinho is hell-bent on regrouping and fighting against Europe's biggest clubs in this season's Champions League, and he wants two reinforcements the most, Real Madrid's Sneijder and defender Las Diarra.

As Sneijder's success at the World Cup began, the entire European football scene was raving about his performances, especially after he submitted his own transfer request, attracting the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Juventus.

After nearly half a month of stalemate negotiations, Manchester City finally came out on top.

Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini personally intervened to convince Sneijder, who had just returned from the World Cup in South Africa, and Manchester City also offered a huge annual salary to finally persuade Sneijder to join the team.

At the same time, Manchester City's high price of 50 million euros for Real Madrid also exceeded Manchester United's 40 million euros, and finally the blue moon successfully won the number one star in the European transfer market this summer, and Sneijder also surpassed David Villa's 40 million euros to become the transfer bid king this summer.

Manchester City's signing of Sneijder was followed by a series of moves, signing Yaya Toure from Barcelona for £28 million, Balotelli from Inter Milan for £23 million, Kolarov from Lazio and Jerome Boateng from Hamburg......

The deep-pocketed Manchester City waved the cheque book in his hand with impunity, and Mancini got almost all the players he wanted, and sent away a number of players such as Robinho and Bodinov, further improving the overall competitiveness of the team.

The Red Devils and Manchester United lost in the battle for two midfield stars, David Silva and Sneijder, and had no choice but to bring in Smalling from Fulham for £10 million and Javier Hernandez from Mexico for £10 million.

After Inter Milan lost Sneijder, Mourinho put pressure on the management to make concessions on McCann's transfer and negotiate with Real Madrid.

It just so happened that French midfielder Las Diarra was lured by Inter Milan and was bent on fighting for the main position, asking Real Madrid to promise the opportunity to play in the new season, otherwise he would not rule out switching to other teams.

Real Madrid President Florentino has repeatedly adhered to his principles, refusing to pay a high transfer fee and annual salary for the 29-year-old McConn, but also refusing to accept Las Diarra's blackmail, so in the end, after a long period of negotiations, the two sides officially transferred to Real Madrid for 10 million euros plus Las Diarra.

The Galacticos finally got their wish to get the right wing-back who shone at the World Cup and was hailed as the world's No. 1.

After Yang Yang, who was on vacation in the United States, received the news, he immediately sent a congratulatory message to McConn, congratulating him on joining Real Madrid, and also told the media that he firmly believed that McCone could succeed in Real Madrid.

Maiconn came to Madrid for the first time and chose a residence near La Morareja, saying that he would continue to be a neighbor with Yang Yang, and he was also eager to fight side by side with Yang Yang as soon as possible.

Sending Sneijder away and ushering in McConn, the two old friends came and went, which made Yang Yang feel the peak of the transfer market.

In order to bring in McConn, Real Madrid lost Las Diarra, Real Madrid's midfield position immediately became weak, relying on only one Mascherano obviously can not ensure the pressure of the new season, Gago and Xavi Alonso are both organizational midfielders, so under the proposal of Valdano, the negotiations to introduce Javier Martinez from Athletic Bilbao were restarted.

Rafael Benitez is also optimistic about the Spanish midfielder, who believes that Martinez is very well-rounded and can play in the middle of the midfield, up front and at the back, and even played at centre-back, which is very much in line with Real Madrid's current needs.

In a nutshell, it was the introduction of a Javi Martinez, and both the midfield and centre-back positions were strengthened.

As a result, Real Madrid made up their minds to negotiate with Athletic Bilbao first, and finally reached a tripartite agreement at the end of July, before Javier Martinez renewed his contract.

Real Madrid activated Javier Martinez's release clause and helped Javier Martinez buy out his contract for 30 million euros, bringing in the Spanish midfielder from Athletic Bilbao.

……

If last summer's Real Madrid transfer signings were star-studded, whether it was Yang Yang, Kaka, or Ibrahimovic, they all caused a major earthquake in the world of football, and Florentino built a hanging garden at all costs in a summer, then Real Madrid this summer has become more pragmatic.

This is also normal, last season's Real Madrid won the Champions League and La Liga double, and its own strength is already very good, and there is really no need to strengthen reinforcements in a big way, but it is more necessary to improve the strength of the team in some positions.

David Silva, Angel Di Maria, McCone and Javier Martinez, all four of whom have already proven themselves in other teams, will greatly enhance Real Madrid's overall strength in the new season, and they are all very practical reinforcements.

And these four players also spent Real Madrid's transfer fee of 95 million euros, but by selling Sneijder, Real Madrid recouped 50 million euros, so this summer, Real Madrid actually invested only 45 million euros.

This is nothing at all for Real Madrid, who have just won the Champions League and signed a number of blockbuster sponsorship contracts.

As Real Madrid's number one rivals, Barcelona played a tragic role last season and have been slow to move in the transfer market due to the presidential election.

Russell replaced Laporta as the club's president, launched a financial liquidation of his predecessor, and even planned to initiate corruption charges against Laporta, causing an uproar in European football.

David Villa was Laporta's last signing before leaving office, costing Barcelona a transfer fee of 40 million euros, and then Yaya Toure and Ziglinski left the club, which was barely enough to make up the cost of this signing.

Rosell publicly said that Laporta's profligacy during his administration, Barcelona's debts and finances have been unsustainable, and there will be no more major reinforcements this summer, temporarily shelving Guardiola's application to bring in a midfield defender, citing the difficulty of raising enough funds, and finally only brought in full-back Adriano from Sevilla, spending 10 million euros.

Whether it is the strength of transfer reinforcements or the level of players introduced, they are obviously not comparable to Real Madrid.
