The Spanish league's winter break begins on 22 December when the 17th round of the league is over and lasts until 4 January next year, with the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals and then the 18th round of the league scheduled for the second Wednesday afternoon of 2025. Of course, considering the preparation factors, the less than ten days before New Year's Day can really make the team relax.

However, the period includes Christmas and New Year's Day, the two most important holidays for Westerners, compared to the Premier League, which arranges games around Christmas and makes money in order to expand its influence, it is really very conscientious, and it is still worthy of praise at this point.

As a key node in the halfway, let's review Li Mudi's achievements after joining the Bernabeu, after all, this is the most important indicator to judge the success of his comeback this time.

In the league, the 14-3 record is impressive, and it has broken the team's record for the same period in the past almost 100 years (the official La Liga was established in 1928-29), with the previous best results being 14 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in 1960-61 and 2010-11.

However, if the reference object is the entire league, then this record is only worthy of squeezing into the top six in history, Barcelona has completed a super performance of 16 wins and 1 draw twice in 2012-13 and last season, and Atletico Madrid has also played a good record of 15 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, which is really unattainable.

Of course, those are extremely difficult situations to occur, and with the overall strength and form of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, it is obvious that there is a big gap from their peaks, which makes Real Madrid extremely likely to win the league title this season.

Reaching the round of 16 in the Copa del Rey is just a regular operation. Although the Galacticos have not taken this domestic cup competition seriously, in terms of their quality, apart from the 2015-16 season, which was directly sent out for the wrong use of the disqualified Cheryshev, this record is arguably the lowest standard, and it would be abnormal to go home in the fourth round when they will not face La Liga teams.

As for the Champions League, Bayern Munich, the champions of last season's Bundesliga, topped the group, a result that proved to be quite significant in hindsight. Because in the draw ceremony held on the 17th, Real Madrid was lucky to draw the weakest French team Lyon in the round of 16, compared with the Bundesliga hegemon who encountered a strong rival Manchester United, the gap between this is not only a little bit and a half. For this reason, many Meilinger secretly lamented that their team's luck was really good, and also praised Li Mudi's strategy of fighting hard in Europe despite the pressure of the league.

Judging from the draw results, Real Madrid can reach the quarter-finals almost without any suspense, even if they may not be in the best condition by then, but with the sluggish form of their opponents this season, it is extremely easy for the former to qualify through two legs.

However, as the world's top team, the goal of the Galaxy every year is to reach the top of Europe, and judging from the performance of other competitors in the first half of the season, Li Muddy does not have enough confidence to stand out from the environment surrounded by Manchester City, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Juventus and other strong opponents, so he must strengthen in the winter window of only 18 days.

Even though the strong new signings are basically not eligible to continue to play in the Champions League, the role they play is still not to be underestimated. After the alien who had been promoted to the "Dead Fat Luo" was purged by Lafayette and left the Bernabeu, he landed at the San Siro to escort AC Milan in the league, so that the Rossoneri could play in the Champions League without worries, and finally succeeded in winning the Big Ears Cup. This magical past is still hung up by the Rossoneri and flaunted everywhere.

Through the FM system, it is easy to find that many giants, including the sworn enemy Barcelona, are recruiting everywhere, hoping that the strength can be further improved, Li Mudi, who naturally predicted that this winter is not destined to be very peaceful, so when he was planning to introduce Pellegre, he had already thought about how to allocate the resources within the team to achieve the effect of the league and the Champions League going hand in hand.

However, from the feedback from Hierro and his team in the past month, it is clear that the Parisian side is reluctant to sell their central striker, especially since the buyer is likely to be their fierce rival in the future European competition. However, considering the player's strong desire to leave the team, Wenger, who has accepted the position of club director two and a half years ago, still reluctantly labeled the Italian international with a label of 280 million euros, and "shamelessly" claimed that this is a preferential price given for the sake of a good relationship with Li Mudi, otherwise there is no three or four hundred million would not dream of getting this goal machine that has not yet entered his prime.

Of course, if Real Madrid are willing to put Asensio or Rodrygo on the trade shelf, the professor has said that he is willing to convert them into the middle with a reasonable valuation, the former plus 50 million, or the latter plus 75 million, and you can get Pellegri.

This is obviously an innocuous joke, and it is unclear to anyone in world football that Asensio and Rodrygo will never leave the Bernabeu anytime soon unless something drastic changes. One is the current local player bigwig, and the other is the latest signature of the academy (although it has been famous for more than two seasons), neither of which will be let go easily.

So even if it is a pre-emptive strategy of the Paris director before the transfer negotiations begin, the other party is obviously ready to take a big bite on Real Madrid, and will never cheapen the club that tries to dig into its corner.

From the standpoint of Real Madrid, the problem they are facing is obviously still very headache, because even if the asking price of 280 million in Paris still has a lot of room to fall, since the other party dared to spend 124 million euros for a young man under the age of 23 two years ago, it is obviously impossible to reach an agreement without more than 200 million if they want to let them endure the pain.

However, the club can only scrape together 150 million at most this winter, which is still barely taken out when there is a surplus in the transfer market this summer and embezzles most of the funds for the next summer window, and it also includes the player's signing fee and the agent's high commission, which is really far from the seller's asking price.

Fortunately, they still have Dybala in their hands to play, and the Argentine veteran, who has communicated with the coach of the team many times, is very willing to leave the Bernabeu in January, and he believes that with his current ability and form, he should be able to obtain a core position in any team, so he does not have much nostalgia for Real Madrid, which has played for three and a half years and suddenly began not to reuse himself.

It's just that due to the fact that he can't represent his new club in the Champions League, choosing to sell Dybala this winter will definitely not maximize his value, but fortunately, the current transfer market is still in the stage where the player's value is inflated, and a superstar like him who no longer needs to prove himself still has many suitors, even if he can't get back the cost of introducing him, the degree of loss is acceptable.

As for why Dybala wasn't put directly into Pellegri's deal, the reason is simple. First, Paris Saint-Germain does not lack a forward midfielder and a shadow striker; Second, Real Madrid's initiative to propose will greatly reduce the valuation of the player, which is completely worth the loss.

The Argentine star's transfer deal process went very quickly, and after confirming that the offers of all three teams met Real Madrid's requirements, Hierro handed over the rest to the agent behind the player. So when the calendar was flipped to December 30, the team's first player trade of the winter window was announced.

Inter Milan, who are competing with Juventus for the Serie A title this season, have beaten Premier League giants Chelsea and West Ham United with a commitment to their tactical roles and a deeper sense of sincerity to bring the world-class star, who is just turning 31 years old, into his portfolio.

Although there is still a day and a half before the transfer window opens, the Nerazzurri can't wait to announce the acquisition of Dybala, and the transfer fee that everyone is extremely concerned about has also been revealed, 72.5 million euros.

This is a price that is super value in the eyes of a few people and a few people think that it is a loss, but the mainstream opinion still feels more appropriate, after all, the 33-year-old president can sell 100 million, and Dybala, who has contributed 6 goals and 6 assists in half a season, is still undoubted in terms of strength. If it weren't for his prime, which was theoretically only two or three years at most, Inter would never have been able to acquire ownership of the player at a cost of less than 100 million yuan.

The news of Dybala's return to Serie A has unsurprisingly occupied an important page in the media of various European countries, although the transfer rumors about other top players can now be said to be flying all over the sky, many of which are quite decent, but at least before the arrival of January 1, there are no first-line players above the transaction has been officially announced, so it reflects the efficiency of Real Madrid and Inter.

Not to mention whether the Nerazzurri, who have received a huge improvement in power, can overtake arch-rivals Juventus in the league and once again dominate the Apennine Peninsula after the peak of the phone gate more than a decade ago.

Real Madrid, which received this huge amount of money, immediately accelerated the negotiation process with Grand Paris, for which Hierro did not hesitate to make a lot of concessions, because the outside world, especially Barcelona, has already sensed the intention of the Galaxy Battleship, once the competitors enter the field to disrupt the situation, then the goal of strengthening the forward position in the winter is likely to be more variable, which is by no means what the La Liga leaders want to see.

Even if Real Madrid have tried to keep their transfer intentions as secret as possible, there are no impermeable walls in this world, and it is difficult to be completely unaware, at least with a star player of Pellegri's level.

And this can't blame Li Mudi and others for worrying blindly, because in order to create trouble for Barcelona's winter recruitment, they have already "blocked" the other party by creating rumors, pretending to be interested in cutting off Hu, etc., at this time, it is obvious that the sworn enemy will not have the same knowledge as himself, and comfortably let this deal that may bring major changes to the pattern of La Liga be reached.

At the critical moment, it was still the old and spicy Wenger who made a move to finalize the negotiation, since he could not force the Italian striker who had flown to Spain, it was better to sell it to Real Madrid, especially the Celestial Empire, in the case of making a lot of money, maybe I don't know when it will be used in the future.

Finally, at around half past five in the afternoon on New Year's Day, Fields, a well-known reporter for the newspaper Marca, was the first to expose the news on his personal social media that the deal was about to be completed, and then other well-known figures in Spanish football followed suit.

The next morning, when many reporters in and around Madrid's Barajas Airport clearly photographed Pellegri and his agent walking out of the plane aisle, all the Melingers who were concerned about the matter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to look forward excitedly to the new signing to bring more and more exciting goals to the team.

Yes, from the news of the Italian striker's possible landing at the Bernabeu to the confirmation of the deal, in just four or five days, the young man has been widely recognized by Real Madrid fans, which is rarely seen before, after all, he is not a superstar of the level of Zizou and Ronaldo.

However, the young man's strengths are also very obvious, one is his handsome face full of Mediterranean style, and the second is his ability to score goals with unconventional moves like Ibrahimovic's possession, which is perfect for Real Madrid, who are looking for beautiful football and delicate faces, and no one will hate such new signings.

So Villarivre, who is recovering from an injury, is completely sad, not only was he stolen a lot of limelight by Jorge Solzano, a young player who was transferred to the first team a few days ago, but also let a newcomer who has not yet played for the team take away his status in the hearts of the fans, can he still live this day?

Thankfully, the manager comforted him in time and promised him a fair chance to play on the Spain international after he recovered from injury, which made the senior striker feel better. However, his agent began to become active for a period of time after that, and it seems that the power of flickering Dafa is still very limited, and the possibility of having both fish and bear's paws is too small.

Leaving aside the Real Madrid manager's minor troubles and the adjustments that will take place in the transfer market in the future, the camera will be slightly tilted towards the north-east of Madrid.

On January 3, when Real Madrid announced that they had officially brought in Pellegri with a transfer record of 185 million and would hold a signing press conference that night, FC Barcelona, which had been surrounded by various rumors, released another super bomb in this winter window, officially announcing that they spent 181 million euros to poach German international Kai Havertz from Bayern Munich by triggering liquidated damages.

There were two super transfer deals worth more than 150 million in the same day, which had never happened before, and for a while, all the people related to the football industry became crazy, and the focus of the whole Europe and even the world was forcibly focused on the two top two in the Western Super League.
