As one of the world's top football giants, Real Madrid has always appeared in people's eyes as a "fool with a lot of money" in the transfer market. And the players who come out of Real Madrid tend to play well in their new teams, such as Sneijder, Arjen Robben and countless Castilla academy players, so many teams in Europe are always watching here to see if they can pick up the slack.

Of course, buying high and selling low is a common habit of all giants, and Real Madrid is undoubtedly the most generous one, and others can try to exchange some transfer fees, but he always gives it away for free.

Free transfers are not uncommon for Real Madrid, but they are all "export trade", and this spirit of self-sacrifice has always been praised by the entire football world. Luis Enrique, Figo, Hierro, David Beckham, Raul, Guti, Kaka, Khedira, Kassi, almost every captain and every former superstar left the Bernabeu on a free transfer.

What about bringing in players in this way? It has rarely happened in the last two decades or so. The last star to come in on a free transfer was "Rabbit" Saviola, and as a result, the youngest South American footballer in history endured two nightmarish seasons at the Bernabeu, with the bench almost worn out, and the transfer from rivals Barcelona "reversed", which cost the team a large salary and signing fee, did not get anything.

And when was the last time a successful free agent was introduced? Steve McManaman in 1999, 17 years ago.

Of course, to be honest, players who have not renewed their contracts with the team six months before the expiration of their contracts are either not capable enough, too old to be in the team's plans, or people who have a bad temper and have completely fallen out with the club, how can Real Madrid take a fancy to this kind of person. Even if there is an occasional player with good strength, who is in the prime of life and has no problems, Real Madrid will not be greedy for that cheapness, as long as there are the best players in the world, but which world-class superstar will fall to this point? If the contract is not renewed, it will have been pushed to the market by the team a long time ago, and it is impossible to let it run out in vain when the contract expires. Therefore, as the most aristocratic top giant, Real Madrid always waves checks with countless zeros written on them to smash superstars, and there is almost no zero value to buy, but they can still be understood and recognized by the fans, after all, they have money, so they are capricious.

So when 2016 just arrived, other teams were so surprised when they learned that Real Madrid, the "great good-natured", was going to bring in free players on a free transfer.

Živkovic is a well-known goblin in the game of Football Manager, but at a young age he has an amazing talent, and in the hands of players, he can grow into one of the best wingers in world football in just two or three seasons. In reality, his situation is not so good, because he is a Serbian nationality, does not have an ID card of an EU member state, and is not a waste of foreign aid quota, so many giants are not interested in making a move at this time, and he is unwilling to condescend to the small team, so the contract is about to expire and he has not found a home. According to the historical trajectory, Zhivkovic will join the black store Benfica for zero value this summer, and it can be expected that in the next few years, a certain giant will be knocked on the bamboo bar in order to take him away.

Li Mudi's intervention would completely change the fate of the Serbian genius, and of course it would cost Benfica a large amount of euros, but he is so deeply hidden that I believe no one will come to settle accounts with him.

At the moment, it seems that Real Madrid's foreign signing in La Liga will be full next season, so if Zivkovic is signed, he will be loaned to other Spanish clubs so that he can get a chance to adapt to the life and game of the country.

On Sunday, January 3, at 20:00, Castilla will host the first match of 2016, the 19th round of the league against Aarernas.

At noon, Li Mudi received a call from Raul across the ocean, saying that the number he left before leaving New York had won the lottery, and he won a total of 21 US dollars in the sixth prize of the three bets, and made a net profit of one yuan. Although this number is too small to be smaller, it is still a blessing for the boss of Castile, who won the lottery for the first time. After being happy for a while, Li Mudi gave a few numbers at random and wanted his friends to help him continue to buy another twenty notes, but he was told that the price of the lottery ticket had increased after the New Year, from 1 knife per card to 2 dollars, so angry that he scolded the Yankees for being too dark, and then had to use his mobile phone to transfer 19 yuan to Raul.

But in any case, Li Mudi's luck has been really good in the recent period, and he has encountered all kinds of good things that he couldn't think of before, so he is full of confidence in winning the night game.

Aarernas will be the last team to face Castilla in the league this season, and from the 20th round onwards, the team will play their opponents home and away in roughly the same order from the first round to the 19th round.

This team does not have an outstanding record in Spanish football, it is a typical lower middle and lower pyramid stepping stone, and only central defender Adrián Pazó has the potential to play in a higher league, with a height of 191cm and a weight of 86kg, excellent heading ability, and a strong restraint for Castile's cross play. However, Li Mudi has taken great interest in his other player.

Full-back Ian Uranga Chong, a Athletic Bilbao academy graduate, has been a fan of Spain's lower-level teams since the age of 17. Alaves, Baracardo, Royal United, Lemona, Gjo Arenas...... It has left its footprints in almost one-third of the country's autonomous regions. He can barely be regarded as a qualified all-round backcourt in these low-level competitions, but for Castile, he can't even be a sparring partner, and he can attract Li Mudi's attention naturally not because of his skills, but because of his nationality.

Lan Uranga Chung's father was a Basque, but his mother was from the Macau Celestial Empire, surnamed Chung, and he also had a Celestial Dynasty named Yu Yien. According to Macau's law, foreigners like Yu Yien, who are of Macau Celestial Empire descent (Ms. Chung also holds a Portuguese passport), can be naturalized without "renunciating" their original nationality, but after naturalization, their foreign passports will not be recognized by the Celestial Empire government and will not have the effect of consular protection in the country, but they can still be retained for overseas tourism. In other words, as long as he wants, he can represent the Macau men's football team in the national team competition.

The men's football team of the Celestial Empire has always been far away from the center of football - the European continent, and there are still a few people who have worked hard here before, some have achieved a certain degree of success, and some have just gone through the motions, but at least they have been given the opportunity to go abroad to show their strength. In the past ten years, except for Lin Liangming and Zhang Yuning, several youngsters have played soy sauce in non-mainstream leagues, and the adult internationals have not been able to get tickets to Europe, so it can be said that this generation of Celestial Empire football has been completely excluded by the top football circle.

It has been half a year since he crossed over to Spain, and Li Mudi, who has been staying at the training ground, at home or in his apartment during this period, rarely has the opportunity to see other Celestial Dynasty people, except for his parents, Zheng Xiaoyang and Lin Liangming, only the relatives who came to visit Lin Liangming and the three staff members of PBTV a few days ago are the only fellows who have come into contact. Suddenly discovered that there was still a football player with Celestial Empire blood on this continent, so how could Li Mudi, who had mild homesickness, not have special feelings.

Before the start of the game, the Castilla coach shook hands with the opposing head coach and went to the away bench to talk to Lan Ulanga. It's a pity that this mixed-race Macau native born in Durango, Spain, can't even speak the simplest Celestial Empire dialect, which makes Li Mudi, who wants to have a Celestial Empire party, very disappointed. But this kid is at least good in terms of attitude, I found out on the Internet that he had been intentionally naturalized (because in terms of his strength, it is absolutely impossible to be selected for the Spanish national team), although he failed to succeed for various reasons, but at least he still recognizes his identity as a member of half of the Heavenly Dynasty. It is disgraceful to say that some Hong Kong people who thought they could join the German national team when they became famous in Germany ignored the call of their motherland, and then came back to join the Hong Kong team with a shy face after they had no football to play in Europe.

After a brief exchange of words with this pseudo-Heavenly Dynasty fellow, Li Mudi walked back to the home team's coach's seat and waited for the game to start.

Castilla's starting line-up for this game: goalkeeper Yáñez, right wing-back Forlan, central defenders Hector and Linhardt, left-back Abner, central midfielders Odegaard and Febas, forward Enzo, right winger Alvaro, left winger La Left, center Mariano. León and Toro suffered minor injuries in training yesterday, while Kylian Mbappe is back in Real Madrid's squad for this round of the league.

Aarernas had 7 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in the previous league, scoring 27 points and ranking eighth in the standings, which is still a good result, but its away results can only be ranked in the back of 20 teams, which is a typical home dragon and away bug this season. This campaign challenged the league leader, and three main players were absent due to injury, so naturally it will not make any waves.

The home side scored three goals in the 19th, 50th and 76th minutes respectively from Odegaard, Mariano and La Left to get the opponents off to a good start and give Castilla a good start to the new year.

At 22:00, at the Mestalla Stadium, Real Madrid was twice tied by Valencia after leading twice, the first goal conceded was a penalty scored by Parejo, and the Croatian teenager Kovacic, who finally qualified to start, also received a red card. In the end, in the case of Barcelona's unexpected draw and Atletico Madrid's one-goal victory, they only got 1 point, and the gap between them was widened by the city's rivals. Mbappe only got ten minutes of playing time and didn't show much.

On January 5, Villarreal, who are competing for the last Champions League ticket, officially announced that they had acquired Real Madrid's Cheryshev for 8.5 million euros. This price is 1.5 million higher than the real transaction price in the summer of '16, in addition to Real Madrid giving up the right to buy back the Russians, but also because the Yellow Submarine is in dire need of immediate reinforcement to consolidate the ranking advantage they face against Bilbao. Limdoudi's suggestion once again helped Real Madrid take advantage of the bigger picture, but unfortunately no one will know about his contribution.

The deal marks the official opening of the Real Madrid supermarket this winter, only this time not only for the sale, but also for the stock. For a while, various transfer rumors came one after another, disrupting the entire world football world.
