As the time enters August, the European transfer market can be described as turbulent.

Giants from all walks of life have also completed the final "sweeping"!

In Serie A, compared to Inter Milan's 140 million euros transfer fee, their two main rivals Juventus and AC Milan are relatively sensible.

Although Juventus also brought in Ibrahimovic, Emerson, Cabo, Zebina, Blasi, Cannavaro, Caragunis and Chiellini, etc., except for Swedish striker Ibrahimovic and Brazilian defender Emerson, who spent Juventus 16 million euros and 28 million euros respectively, the other players did not cost Juventus too much money, among which Cannavaro and Caragunis were obtained through transactions.

In total, for less than 60 million euros, Juventus has further added to their already luxurious squad, while the departure of some players such as Di Vaio and Mikoli has also helped Juventus recover some funds, which also shows Moggi's excellent means in the transfer market!

AC Milan are even more stingy in the transfer market this year, although they got two big stars, Stam and Crespo, but the former only cost AC Milan 11 million euros, and Crespo is on loan.

French midfielder Dorasú only spent 3.2 million euros on AC Milan, and at the same time, AC Milan also recouped a certain amount of money through fringe players such as Clear Laursen. AC Milan spent less than 20 million euros on the transfer market this year!

This is a new low in recent years. However, in previous seasons, AC Milan's change in transfer methods has also seen the clues in this regard. In previous seasons, AC Milan has brought in a number of powerful veterans with high salaries, most of whom are on free transfer due to contract expiration, including superstar-level players such as Cafu and Rivaldo.

This kind of transfer method makes AC Milan's squad look star-studded and luxurious, but in the future, it will also cause the team to be young and yellow due to the overall age of the team. Of course, that's all for later.

With the exception of the top three in Serie A, neither of the Roma duo made a big deal because of their own financial problems.

This summer, Roma got the likes of Ferrari, Dominic, Mexes and Perrotta. Most of these people are still unknown, or just ordinary players, so they didn't spend much money.

However, by selling Samuel and Zebina, Emerson recovered a large amount of money and made a profit in the transfer market.

Lazio are even more dismal, they can only get some players through free transfers, and a large number of their main players have left the team at low prices.

The departure of the likes of Stam, Favali, Corradi, Fiore and Mihajlovic will undoubtedly add to their already financial woes!

Compared with the lack of strength in the transfer market of Serie A powerhouses other than Inter Milan, Fiorentina, who returned to Serie A, has shown its skills in the transfer market this year.

Real Madrid striker Portillo, Juventus players Maresca and Micoli, midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata and Dane Jorgensen and a series of powerful players have all joined the Purple Lily. This also reflects the ambition of the purple lily to be unwilling to just be relegated after returning to Serie A!

Compared with the cautiousness of other teams in Serie A except Inter Milan, the giants of the Premier League and La Liga are much more atmospheric in the transfer market!

In the Premier League, the biggest investment is still Abu's Chelsea.

This year's entry into the European Champions Cup has also made his team more appealing, Robben, Cech, Drogba, Ferreira, Kai Yueman, Thiago these six have spent nearly 100 million euros on Abou!

This is also because many of Abu's fancy superstar players are unwilling to join this team known as "nouveau riche", otherwise, Abu's investment will definitely not be less than Moratti!

The addition of another group of powerful stars also officially announced that Chelsea will attack the league championship in the new season!

Last year's quadruple champion Liverpool seems to have lost its backbone after losing Chen Xi!

Real Madrid's Florentino shifted his attention to Liverpool goalscorer Owen after failing to poach Chen Xi!

Chen Xi's departure also made Owen decide to play in a different environment, which made the Liverpool club very reluctant, but because Owen's contract only had the last year left, they finally had to let go of the team's leading goalscorer at a low price!

Owen's transfer also marked the official collapse of the Red Army's trio, with only Steven Gerrard still rejecting various temptations to stay with the Reds.

Of course, the departure of Chen Xi and Owen also allowed Liverpool FC to temporarily get out of the economic crisis. There is even a certain amount of money to invest in the transfer market.

Rafa Benitez has bought young goalscorer Cisse from Ligue 1 in the hope that he can succeed Owen.

In Chen Xi's position, he bought the Australian Colwill who Liverpool had intended to introduce last summer!

Although a certain amount of reinforcement has been made, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is absolutely impossible for Benitez, the new Red Army, to replicate the miracle of last season...... Premier League giants Manchester United ended up empty-handed last season, and Ferguson has stepped up his efforts in the transfer market this year.

Leeds striker Alan Smith and Argentine defender Heinze were all in the action.

The team's most important recruitment is naturally to buy Everton's golden boy Rooney for a high price of 27 million pounds!

In addition to this, Ferguson has also used his golden signature to "trick" some young talents from other clubs, including Barcelona La Masia academy centre-back Gerard Pique and Italy's young talented striker Giuseppe Rossi.

Compared to the other top three, Arsene Wenger is in the transfer market due to the club's construction of new stadiums, and some funds are short. Of course, given Arsenal's strong squad, the professor doesn't need to make a big move.

He just bought young Dutch striker Robin van Persie and French midfielder Flamini.

Instead, veteran players such as Van Bronckhorst, Wiltord and Kanu were transferred.

In La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still the absolute protagonists!

Florentino continued his policy of one superstar a year, poaching Owen from Anfield. At the same time, they have also made additions at the back, buying Woodgate and Samuel from the Premier League and Serie A respectively!

Obviously, Florentino also knows that the team's results are not good, and they can't just play tricks from the midfield.

However, in Real Madrid's most critical midfielder problem, Florentino still has not been able to solve it!

After a summer affair with Arsenal's Patrick Vieira, the Frenchman stayed at Highbury.

This will undoubtedly lay a time bomb for Real Madrid's performance in the new season!

Barcelona has made a multi-faceted addition!

Up front, Real Madrid abandoned Samuel Eto'o, and Swedish veteran Larsson, who excelled at this year's European Championships, will replace Dutch striker Kluivert, who was sold to the Premier League for his personal misconduct.

At the same time, French winger Giuli, who led Monaco to the Champions League semi-finals last season, will also form a magical wing with Ronaldinho.

In midfield, they snatched Porto midfielder Deco from Jose Mourinho and will form a Barcelona duo with Xavi.

At the back, the three Brazilians of Edmilson, Silvinho and Belletti will be a strong complement to Bassana's weak defence. Dutchman Van Bronckhorst, as a corridor-type player on the left, will also enrich Barca's tactics.

In addition to Real Madrid and Barcelona, as a representative team of the league, the Bat Army Valencia has been transformed into a "Serie A" team because of the addition of Italian coach Ranieri!

Di Vaio, Moretti, Corradi, Mofeo and several other Italian players have come to Mestania from Serie A!

Whether the strong entry of the Italian gang is good or bad for Valencia is unknown!

All in all, driven by the two major owners of Abou and Moratti, this year's European football transfer market has set off another wave of climax.

Of course, now is not the time for the transfer market to make or break it. Whether the transfer will be successful and whether the large amount of money spent will pay off will have to wait until the start of the new season to find out! ――

Since the beginning of this season, the number of teams in Serie A has increased from 18 to 20, and the number of league rounds has also changed from 34 to 38.

However, this season, due to the negotiation of labor and management, the start time has been postponed from the end of August to the middle of September, which means that the schedule of Serie A this season will be extremely tight.

Of course, Inter Milan's new season will start in mid-August, as they finish fourth in Serie A last season, and will qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Before and after the Champions League qualifying round, the club has arranged enough warm-up matches for the team.

After all, there has been a lot of change in club personnel this season, and both old and new players need enough time to get to know each other.

After the TIM Cup, the team first trained for almost a week before going to the "Spanolo Cup" in Genoa!

The "Spanolo Cup" is a warm-up tournament in memory of Vicenza player Spanolo, who was assassinated in 1995.

It has been held for 10 years now, and in addition to Inter Milan, the teams participating this time are Vicenza, Genoa and Livorno.

Among them, only Livorno and Inter Milan are Serie A teams, and the strength of the opponents is not strong, and it is also a good warm-up game for the team's run-in.

The "Spanolo Cup" is a tournament system to determine the champion!

In the first leg, Inter Milan met the host Genoa!

Genoa, as the oldest club in Italy, was once the absolute hegemon of Serie A at the beginning of its establishment!

From 1898 to 1924 they won nine Serie A titles, two trebles in a seven-year period, and the fourth-highest total number of Serie A titles in the country, behind Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, although after 1924 they failed to win once.

Due to the club's poor financial strength, after the 94-95 season, they were relegated to Serie B and never promoted back to Serie A.

In the new season, they have a full squad and are determined to return to Serie A, so they attach great importance to the warm-up matches against Inter Milan!

Jose Mourinho did not take the opponent lightly because the opponent was a Serie B team, and he still lined up the majority of the main players in this game.

Among them, the new additions Zambrotta, Essien, Davis, Carvalho and Chen Xi all started!

After the start of the game, both sides were playing with real knives and guns, without any reservations.

In the opening stage, Genoa even occupied a certain initiative!

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Croatian international Belanovic used his excellent height to beat Materazzi to complete a header in a corner kick!

The ball went past Toldo's defense, but captain Zanetti saved on the goal line to avoid the embarrassment of Inter Milan falling behind!

After withstanding Genoa's opening three-pronged strike, Inter Milan began to show their excellent attack.

Today, Inter Milan's forward line is still the "three fierce male combination" of Chen Xi, Vieri and Adriano!

Although Vieri's form declined last season, Mourinho, who prefers excellent center forwards, has decided to reuse the Italian striker in the new season!

Vieri obviously didn't want to live up to the trust of the new manager, so he played exceptionally hard in this game!

Bobo's efforts were also seen by God, and finally, halfway through the first half, he got a good chance!

Chen Xi, who is still a free man in the front court today, suddenly came to the middle, and after shaking off the Genoa back, he pretended to shoot, but in fact he picked the ball into the penalty area!

Vieri understood, squeezed away the opponent's central defender at high speed, and easily pushed the opponent's goalkeeper to score!

After scoring the goal, Vieri also took off his jersey excitedly, revealing his and Maldini's self-created "Sweet-Years" brand T-shirt, and the cartoon red heart on it was particularly eye-catching!

After celebrating, Vieri didn't forget to give Chen Xi a big hug!

Coupled with the fact that Vieri had been in a goalscoring drought for nearly four months in the second half of last season, he still looked very excited even though it was only a warm-up goal.

Chen Xi didn't know what this goal meant to Vieri, but he could also feel Vieri's desire to score goals, so he also decided to have the opportunity to create more opportunities for this big brother in the future!

After taking the lead, the Inter Milan team also played more and more relaxed.

In the case of excessive relaxation, the back line also almost made mistakes, but fortunately, the goalkeeper Toldo performed extremely heroically today!

Belanovic and Nigeria striker Makinwa had several threatening shots on goal, but he was denied them!

Seeing Uncle Toldo acting so hard behind him, how could Chen Xi and his teammates in the front court relax?

Before the end of the first half, Chen Xi assisted another striker Adriano to score, expanding the score to 2-0!

In the second half, the two sides were still attacking each other, Genoa could be said to be fighting for honor, and Inter Milan was suspected of practicing offensive tactics.

The three "macho men" in the front court have staged a small cooperation with thick and thin many times!

Finally, when the game was an hour into the game, Chen Xi also opened, and after a continuous pass with Vieri and Adriano, he shot vigorously outside the penalty area to expand the score to 3-0!

After sealing the win, Mourinho also began a large-scale substitution, rehearsing various lineups.

Substitutes Recoba and Kili Gonzalez added a goal each.

The Genoa team scored a face-saving goal through a penalty opportunity, and Inter Milan also advanced to the final of the "Spanolo Cup" with a score of 5-1!

The opponent in the final is Livorno, also from Serie A!

Livorno is a mid-to-lower team of Serie A standards, and there is also a big gap in strength with Inter Milan.

However, with the attitude of running in the main lineup, Mourinho once again discharged the absolute main lineup.

After the start of the game, Chen Xi personally felt that the performance of the Livorno team was even less energetic than the Genoa team. However, their style of play is relatively mature, especially in defence, which is much stronger than that of Genoa. It should be regarded as a standard Serie A team.

Of course, Inter Milan's "three fierce men" composed of Chen Xi, Vieri and Adriano are among the best attacking combinations in European football, and they also scored five goals in 90 minutes against AC Milan and Juventus. Then the defense of the Livorno team is naturally a little vulnerable in the face of Inter Milan's strong attacking power!

As a result, in this game, the "three fierce male combinations" in excellent form once again won a city each!

Before the end of the game, the macho man in the midfield, Stankovic, also locked the score at 4-0 with a heavy shot!

Inter Milan won the "Spanolo Cup" without any suspense.

Winning two warm-up tournaments in a row, Jose Mourinho's side also showed strong strength. Especially their attacking power, the power of the "three macho combinations" burst out, which made the teams in Serie A and even Europe shudder!

In Mourinho's view, he cares more about the stability of the defensive line than the excellent performance of the striker. In the first three warm-up games, Inter Milan conceded goals in every game, although there was only one of them, but it still exposed problems in the defensive line.

Finally, in the fourth game, his team completed a clean sheet, which also allowed Mourinho to see the improvement of the defence.

After the Spanolo Cup, Inter Milan returned to Milan and after a short rest, they will fly to Switzerland for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round.

Swiss League champions Basel will be the first opponent of Inter Milan's revival season!
