Chapter 210: The Transfer Market
Gao Zheng's answer mocked the reporters at the same time, but also mocked Alda Turan.
He said that he didn't want to go to Barcelona for the funeral, so didn't Turan, who had to transfer to Barcelona alive or dead, just rush to give people a funeral?
He said that he couldn't think about going to Barcelona to sit on the cold bench, and wouldn't Turlan, who would rather not play for half a year than transfer to Barcelona, just can't think about it?
After he said that, what did Alda Turan think?
But Gao Zheng doesn't care what Turan thinks, the Turks can think whatever they like, and he can't be guilty of wronging himself for a person who is about to leave the team.
And to be honest, he really thinks that Alda Turan can't think about it, how terrible is it for a high-level player to play without a ball for half a season? Now in European football, let alone half a season, even if you can't play for two months, you may not be able to keep up. While it is possible to train with the team, the game and training are completely different.
There are no games to play for half a year, so how can you guarantee that you will get a place in a team like Barcelona when you are qualified to play?
If Barcelona are a low-level relegation team, Alda Turan would be understandable. still playing like this in a particularly competitive giant, Gao Zheng really felt that Alda Turan had a problem with his brain.
If you want to join Barcelona again, you can wait until Barcelona's transfer ban expires, so that you will not delay yourself and not be so nervous with the current team.
After all, it's disgusting to be willing to go to Atletico Madrid for half a year and leave Atletico Madrid......
Although the matter is not yet finalized, everyone in the Atletico Madrid team knows that their former team-mate is decided this time.
It's all too much, and if you don't go, you have to go.
If Alda Turan stays, there is probably no place for him in the team, and the fans in the stands will not give him a good look.
What's the point of staying?
And just a few days after Gao Zheng opened his mouth to mock, a breakthrough was made in the transfer of Alda Turan.
Perhaps it was because he was worried that if this matter dragged on, it would split the locker room - Gao Zheng's remarks were rendered as "mocking teammates" by some media with ulterior motives, on the one hand, smearing Gao Zheng's image, and on the other hand, creating trouble for Atletico Madrid's locker room.
Atletico Madrid finally nodded in favor of Alda Turan leaving.
And in order to end this matter as soon as possible, Atletico Madrid did not even ask Barcelona to directly pay Alda Turan for the breach of contract and take people away.
In the end, after negotiations, Barcelona paid 34 million euros to take Alda Turan from Atletico Madrid. Of course, there is also a floating transfer fee of seven million euros, which is decided to be paid based on Turan's playing time at Barcelona and his Champions League record, among other things.
In fact, strictly speaking, Alda Turan should still be considered a man of Atletico Madrid, because the transfer deal will not be completed until January next year. But with Atletico Madrid, it is naturally impossible for him to stay in the current team, so he can only go to Barcelona to train with the team.
After arriving in Barcelona, Alda Turan tweeted a selfie of herself in front of Barcelona's iconic Camp Nou.
The sun was shining, and he was smiling brighter than the sun.
He wrote: "A fresh beginning! Bless me! ”
But the curse of Atletico Madrid fans is full underneath, and it is ironic to combine it with what he said.
※※※
After selling Alda Turan, although there are still Gao Zheng and Griezmann, Atletico Madrid still added reinforcements in the attacking lineup.
They brought in Jackson Martinez from Porto for €37 million and Belgian winger Yannick Carrasco from Monaco for €24 million.
Both of these men are used to strengthen Atletico Madrid's forward line and relieve the pressure on Gao Zheng and Griezmann.
Last season, Simeone can be said to have relied heavily on the forward combination of Gao Zheng and Griezmann, which led to little chance of rotation for the two. That's why at the critical moment of the final battle for the league title, the chain fell in the Champions League.
Simeone doesn't want to make the same mistake again in the new season.
Especially after being knocked out of the Champions League last season, he hopes that the team can still go further and achieve better results in the Champions League.
In addition to them, Fernando Torres, who was loaned out during last season's winter break, will also continue to play in the squad. Atletico Madrid had loaned Torres directly from AC Milan until the summer of 2016.
On the front line, the three of them will work with Gao Zheng and Griezmann to ensure that Atletico Madrid achieves a breakthrough on multiple fronts.
At the back, Simeone brought in Moroccan centre-back Stefan Savic from Fiorentina for €25 million. In addition, full-back Felipe Luiz, who moved to Chelsea last season, has also returned to Atletico Madrid, who paid 16 million euros for a transfer fee.
However, on the back line, the original main central defender Miranda still left the team and transferred to Inter Milan.
This has left analysts a little worried about whether Atletico Madrid's defense will not be as good as it used to be in the new season.
Because he won the league championship last season, Simeone did not make major changes to the team's lineup, and it is still mainly based on stability and reinforcement.
In the transfer market, Atletico Madrid is not remarkable.
In other words, this summer, the whole of La Liga has been relatively uneventful.
The craziest is the Premier League.
Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne moved to Manchester City for 74 million euros and became the transfer target this summer - which made Chinese fans feel that if Gao Zheng's transfer happened this season, he could become the transfer bid king this season......
In second place is Manchester United's Di Maria transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee of 63 million euros.
Raheem Sterling travelled from Liverpool to Manchester City for €62.5 million.
Anthony Martial moves to Manchester United from Monaco for €50 million......
The Premier League accounted for seven of the top 10 transfers this summer.
With so much money invested, the Premier League is going to become the number one league in Europe again.
After all, it has been a long time since their team had a good result in the Champions League, and the previous Premier League was able to turn the Champions League semi-finals into an "FA Cup" civil war.
Now they have all been robbed of the limelight by La Liga.
Barcelona lost the La Liga title last season but had the last laugh in the Champions League, beating Juventus 3-1 in the final to claim their fifth Champions League trophy in the club's history.
It is worth mentioning that four of these five Champions League trophies were won in the 21st century, in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2015.
At the same time, they have won the championship four times, which also makes them the club with the most Champions League titles in the 21st century.
In this sense, perhaps Blanco is right, Barcelona is at the height of its dynasty, how can it be buried?
Although Barcelona is without Xavi this season, they still have Andres Iniesta and Messi.
The dynasty is a wonderful time for flowers and fire.
