181. The New Gunslinger with High Hopes (Part I)

Qiansheng looked at Mario Balotelli with a strange expression, as if he had heard this sentence from someone. Look at Mino Raiola again, fat man, are all your players this kind of virtue?

Raiola found that Qiansheng looked at him, with a playful look in his eyes, and his face was slightly red, he didn't understand the deep meaning in Qiansheng's eyes.

"Ahem, Mario, what are you in your current situation, what conditions are you talking about, you should know Arsène's ability, Thierry and Patrick, who were unsuccessful in Serie A, have been reborn in his hands and have become world-class stars." Raiola coughed lightly and said: "Your top priority now is to train well and recover your condition, you are still young, and the door of the Italian national team will still be open to you." Mario, you know, the most talented of Italy's strikers is you. ”

As the saying goes, a thousand clothes are not worn, and Balotelli was originally unhappy that Raiola stopped him from talking about conditions, but when he heard the latter words, his face looked a little better.

Raiola can become the agent of these unruly geniuses, naturally he has his own set, seeing that Balotelli no longer makes requests, he breathed a sigh of relief, this time he came to Italy, and finally basically completed the task.

Kalidou Koulibaly himself is keen to move to Arsenal, so as long as he and his agent Bruno Santi negotiate with Napoli, they are confident that a deal can be done at the right price.

And Balotelli has ended his loan days at AC Milan, Milan will not buy out, and Liverpool does not have his place, so Raiola believes that it is not difficult to operate the transfer of Italians, even if Liverpool does not want Balotelli to transfer to the sworn enemy, but Balotelli is not the original Luis Suarez, he Raiola is not easy to mess with, plus Arsenal CEO David Dunn's connections, it is difficult for Liverpool to prevent Balotelli from going to Kearney's base.

The trip to Italy was over, Qiansheng returned to the national team to report, and Raiola flew back to London to report on the transfer.

The 2016 UEFA Champions League season is over, and the rest of the world of football is here. During the vacation, in addition to this summer's international competitions, such as the European Cup in France and the Copa America in the United States, it is a wonderful summer transfer drama that can attract the attention of fans all over the world.

However, an article by Daily Mirror columnist Andy Dunn sparked a strong reaction in English football.

The main content of this article is that although the Premier League is getting richer and richer, it is the most profitable league in the world, since the beginning of the 2014-15 season, the Premier League's income has reached a staggering 3.4 billion pounds, and they can also use the golden dollar advantage to invite various coaches, but the Premier League has no star who can squeeze into the best FIFA team last year, and with the Premier League giants and strong teams losing in the European arena, the gap between the level of the Premier League and other leagues, especially La Liga, has been unbelievably large.

It is said that the competition for the championship of the Premier League is the most intense, but this season, the competition for the title of La Liga is the most intense, and it was not until the final round that the final league championship was decided, and Barcelona won the championship by 1 point. And Leicester Fairy Tale destroyed the ancient decay in the Premier League, and there was no danger of winning the championship with a 3-point advantage over the traditional giants of the Premier League in the first round.

The new Premier League champion will go to the United States this summer to participate in the International Champions Cup, and will play against European giants such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, etc., Fox coach Claudio Ranieri mentioned the strong opponent he was about to face, but he was not afraid to declare that "we have the strength to fight against a giant like Barcelona." "I don't want to pour cold water on the Italian coach as much as it cheers up the whole of England, but the truth is that the whole of Spain is firmly dominating European football.

But after the two teams in the Champions League final surfaced, we already knew that La Liga had won both the Champions League and Europa League for the third year in a row. La Liga teams have won six Champions Leagues and seven Europa Leagues in the last 11 seasons – 13 of the 22 trophies in total. I think the Spanish teams have begun to monopolize the competition, and the Premier League teams can't compete with them. In the last 20 times Premier League and La Liga teams have met in European competition, only two times have English teams had the last laugh. One of them was Liverpool's comeback over Villarreal.

I am reminded of what Bayern president Karl Rummenigge said not long ago: "The Premier League thought they were the best, they had the most money, and until now they still think so. Yes, I'll admit that they're getting more and more money, but they're never going to get a superstar, not a single one, because no superstar wants to play in a league at this level. They would rather go to the Bundesliga or La Liga, where there is real football, and in the last few years, the Premier League has only been thinking about making money, completely forgetting to care about the ups and downs of world football. ”

Rummenigge's words were harsh, but if you think about it, this is probably the farthest time in history when Spanish football has been behind the Premier League. But what is the Premier League doing? They're celebrating record-breaking revenues, the biggest broadcast deal ever, beautiful financial statements and surpluses. I suspect they don't bother with European football outside of England at all, don't they know that they can't attract world-class stars? Even the players targeted by the giants have been snatched away by the Bundesliga, such as Bayern Munich of Portuguese supernova Renato Sanchez, who was snatched from Manchester United. You know, Manchester United originally played an agreement with Benfica, but as a result, it was the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich who had the last laugh.

As soon as the "Daily Mirror" article came out, it caused a sensation throughout England, and although I felt embarrassed, I had to admit that Dunn was telling the truth.

Increasingly wealthy Premier League teams, even teams in the middle and lower tiers have strong purchasing power. However, with the strengthening of the middle and lower teams, coupled with the fact that there is no winter break in the Premier League, the Premier League teams are getting worse and worse in Europe.

If it weren't for Liverpool's European competition in the Europa League and the European points for the Premier League, otherwise, the Premier League would lose a Champions League place next season or next season.

But Dunn's article is too biased and a bit overkill, if the Premier League is not attractive, will Josep Guardiola, Jose Munirio, Antonio Conte and other famous coaches come to the Premier League?

Angry and angry, James Ole, a reporter for the London Evening Standard, wrote an article to boost the morale of England. (To be continued.) )
