Chapter 294: Transfer Work in the Summer

While the Hong Kong team was in the midst of intense preparations, the transfer market in Europe was stirring, and the summer transfer was destined to be extraordinary from the beginning.

As one of the top five leagues in Europe, the Premier League has become a gathering place for all kinds of transfers, as in previous years.

Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, the major clubs are the most numerous.

First, Manchester United spent 50 million euros, taking Anderson from Portugal who plays for Porto and Nani who plays for Sporting Lisbon, and then Robben transferred to Real Madrid for 37 million euros, while Chelsea only acquired a lesser-known Belletti. Not to be outdone, Liverpool, as a traditional giant, are in talks with Ajax in the Netherlands for the transfer of 'new Kluivert' Babel, who is another rising talent of Ajax, and at the same time, Arsenal, who have not made much move in the transfer market this year, have also been sold, and they have spent 12 million euros to buy Croatian striker Da Silva.

Among these big transfers, there are also a lot of transfer news in the report

There are true and false in these news, the same is that they all involve a star, and various media are also constantly analyzing the transfer, Manchester City's transfer is 'being analyzed', because Manchester City has not yet confirmed a deal, and various players in the team, such as David Silva, Kopelle Ferreira, etc., have transfer rumors, but there has been no news to be confirmed, at this time, the Manchester City media suddenly broke the big news - the genius of Atletico Madrid,' Spain's golden boy Fernando Torres will officially join Manchester City when the transfer window opens on July 1st!

The news is quite alarming, and it is not at all worse than the transfer of Chelsea star Arjen Robben.

When the Manchester City media revealed this news, the whole of Manchester, and even all of England, and European football were shocked!

Everyone knows that Fernando Torres is a true Spanish talent, one of the top players in the striker. There are many giants who are eyeing him, and secretly the giants don't know how many times they have played each other, although Manchester City and Liverpool are the most sincere and have the highest bids, but it is not only these two clubs that have contacted Torres privately.

But now, Manchester City have won Torres!

Some people are looking at each other, and many teams are ready to continue to make offers, but they didn't expect Torres' transfer to be finalized so quickly, and they were a little dumbfounded.

Many media outlets went to Atletico Madrid to ask for proof of the authenticity of this news.

As a result, both clubs announced the transfer news on their official websites.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We are grateful to Fernando Torres for all the great goals he scored at Atletico Madrid. It's all good to remember, but for Torres, he should be looking for a wider sky, and there is a better world waiting for him outside, so they wish him success at Manchester City! ”

This is the report of Atletico Madrid on the transfer of Torres.

In fact, Atletico Madrid is in a special period, and it is difficult to lead the team out of the situation with Torres's ability alone.

Because Torres is so good, the team is playing exactly as he wants to do it alone, relying on Torres alone. It is already difficult to lead the team to make good progress, and his stay will have some impact on the team, and out of consideration, Atletico Madrid also intends to sell him for cash to replenish the team. The two sides discussed a joint decision on the transfer of Torres.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid Club did not hold back on Torres's departure, and even Atletico Madrid fans sincerely hoped that their 'captain' could succeed in the Premier League and hope that one day. When Torres is successful, he will have the opportunity to return to the CalderΓ³n Stadium.

However, Torres is leaving, and Atletico Madrid is unlikely to make a big report.

Compared with. Manchester City's coverage was much more enthusiastic, as they gave the fans a detailed introduction to Fernando Torres, "Fernando Torres is Spain's best goalscorer in recent years, having played for Atletico Madrid in the Spanish second division at the age of 18 and playing 40 games in two seasons, scoring 20 goals. ”

After that, Torres played in the Atletico Madrid Super League, where he has played 244 games for Atletico Madrid, scoring 91 goals.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He's just turned 23 and he's already so good. ”

The goal numbers speak for themselves, and the fact that Torres has scored so many goals in the Spanish league speaks volumes about his quality, not to mention that he is also the captain of Atletico Madrid.

After the introduction, Manchester City welcomed Torres, "We are very proud to announce the news that Atletico Madrid captain Fernando Torres will officially join Manchester City on July 1st, and we will be able to see him perform at the Manchester Stadium next season!" ”

The two clubs have shocked world football by confirming the transfer of Torres together.

Soon many media analysed Torres' transfer to Manchester City, and it was previously said in the media that Torres is likely to choose Liverpool, because Liverpool is a traditional giant, and Benitez is also a Spanish manager, so he is more attractive to Torres.

But now Torres has chosen Manchester City, so the media began to analyze what Torres' transfer will bring to Manchester City.

It goes without saying that Anelka's departure is already a countdown!

In fact, the news of Anelka's departure has spread far and wide before the season is over, which is no secret in European football, but Anelka is the top scorer in the Premier League, and there are many clubs that want to get him, such as Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and even Bayern Munich are associated with Anelka's name, but Anelka is not 'definitely' gone, and there is no definite news in the media that Anelka will definitely leave Manchester City.

However, when Torres comes, Anelka will definitely go.

Mainly because Manchester City's forward line is too flashy, Anelka, Torres, plus Darren Bent, three forward players, no matter which one is qualified to be the main scorer of the top team, Manchester City has three.

It's good news that there are many good players, but players will definitely be unhappy with the position, and no team can have three good goalscorers.

Comparatively, Darren Bent is certainly unlikely to leave, as his agent has publicly stated that Darren Bent will not leave Manchester City, and Manchester City have also rejected all offers for Darren Bent. There is no reason for them to sell their young talents to other teams, so it will be Anelka.

Another point is about the transfer value of Torres.

Although neither Manchester City nor Atletico Madrid have announced, there is still some speculation in the media, and Manchester Sport said that Torres is worth at least 35 million euros.

This is still the lowest estimate.

The Spanish newspaper "As" believes that "Torres will not be less than Robben's transfer value", and if the "As" newspaper is correct in its guess, then the transfer is likely to reach 40 million euros.

Wan Sheng, who is in Hong Kong, reports on these Europe. Just glanced at it and didn't look at anything more.

He's looking forward to Torres.

At the same time, he is also well aware of Torres's transfer fee - 39 million euros, and the prediction of "As" is accurate, which is indeed higher than Robben's value.

This is mainly because of Torres' 'commercial value'.

Torres' personal ability and performance are actually not much better than Robben, but the key is that he is a Spanish golden boy and is very popular with fans in Spain, so the value of such a player will naturally be much higher.

Wan Sheng is more concerned about Torres's ability.

39 million euros to buy a player, this is the biggest money since Wansheng took charge. He hopes that Torres' performance will be worthy of his value, and that the money will be well spent.

Wansheng is confident in this.

Torres is already one of the best strikers in the world and will certainly not be worse than Anelka. Then coupled with the attributes and skill bonuses of the football training master, his performance will certainly not be worse than Anelka.

Next season, the team has Torres and Darren Bent. The front line doesn't have to worry about it.

At this time, Wan Sheng still has some transfer funds at his disposal, but he is not in a hurry to buy players, but waits for other news. In fact, the biggest news for Manchester City FC recently is not only the transfer of Torres, but more importantly, the club has received capital injection from a Thai consortium.

Wan Sheng, as the head coach, naturally knows that it will be these two days since the two sides were finalized.

――――

Sure enough, two days later, there was news of the Thai consortium's investment in Manchester City.

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra held a press conference and publicly announced that he would spend Β£143 million to buy Manchester City FC. His offer has been accepted by the Manchester City FC Board of Directors.

Just a day before Thaksin's announcement, the Thai prosecutor's office formally filed charges against Thaksin for abuse of power, but the "limelight" of this news quickly overshadowed the news of Thaksin's intention to buy Manchester City club, and Thailand's criminal prosecution of Thaksin did not affect Thaksin's acquisition plan at all.

Thaksin's plan to buy Manchester City was proposed through his British sports investment company, which was immediately approved by the club's board of directors.

In a joint statement, Manchester City president Waddell said, "This acquisition provides an exciting development opportunity for Manchester City. ”

Thaksin will pay Β£51.6 million in cash upfront for the acquisition.

The Thai authorities were surprisingly calm about Thaksin's heavy purchase of Manchester City, and Thai officials said it was Thaksin's own business. Thai National Security Council spokesman Tan Sen said that Thaksin's acquisition plan shows that Thailand's "****** department only freezes assets suspected of being obtained through illegal means", and said that "he still has a lot of money in his hands, and doing such a big business is his private matter, and we will not interfere." ”

The announcement caused a big stir.

Some British media believe that Thaksin's choice to buy Manchester City FC at this sensitive period is intended to use the influence of the Premier League in Thailand and use Manchester City FC as a bargaining chip to maintain its influence among the Thai public for a long time.

Khun, a pollster in Bangkok, said, "A lot of Thais are Premier League fans and Thaksin knows what it takes to get their attention." The deal allowed his influence to permeate all walks of life in Thailand. ”

But there are also those who believe that the rationale behind this purchase of Manchester City may be more than just politics.

Somchai, an expert in political science at Thammasat University in Thailand, said, "Politically, this will keep Thai voters from forgetting him." The deal could also help Thaksin move some of his money from home and could be a successful lucrative investment. ”

Whatever Thaksin's reasons for buying Manchester City, it is a sure thing that the club will receive a capital injection, and at the same time, it is likely that the club will be handed over the rights - Thaksin will take over the chairmanship.

Waddell had already informed Wansheng of the situation.

Although Wan Sheng is in Hong Kong, he also knows the situation of Manchester City FC very well, and during the negotiations between the Thaksin consortium and the board of directors, many things have been promised, one of which is related to him - no matter what changes in the management of the club, Wan Sheng's head coach position will not change.

Thaksin also personally called Wansheng and made a promise, and promised, "Half of the initial capital injection will be used in the summer transfer!" ”

For Thaksin's so-called 'will not change the head coach', Wan Sheng has no feelings, the most important thing is that he has this confidence, because of the team's performance, because of his own ability, if Manchester City dismisses him because of high-level changes, it will be really their loss.

However, Thaksin's promise also has benefits, that is, it has put him at ease, and he has more than 20 million pounds of transfer funds in his hands.

The transfer of Glen Johnson and Martin Petrov has entered the negotiation stage, and Wan Sheng soon added several more players, including Reyes and Ljungberg, who play for Arsenal.

Arsenal FC are interested in selling the two players, and Ljungberg wants to move away, because after Thierry Henry is ready to leave, Arsenal's environment is no longer suitable for him, and it will be difficult for him to have a regular starting position.

Reyes, on the other hand, felt that he was not suitable for the Premier League atmosphere, and his performances at Arsenal for several years have not been very good.

In Wansheng's view, these two players are exactly what Manchester City need.

The departure of David Beckham and Sinclair, for the team, the wing is very painful, so the top priority is to supplement the wide players, Reyes and Ljungberg are not pure full-backs, but their skills are excellent, Reyes can be a striker, can also play as a wing-back, Ljungberg can also be used as a midfielder, with these two strong players to complement, the team lineup is not missing.

Of course, Wansheng will not be pinning his hopes on these two players, and while he and Arsene Wenger have a good relationship, Arsenal will not necessarily sell players to rivals, and he has also reported other names.

Brazil international Elano Brummer, who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk, is a late blooming midfielder in Brazil, who did not attract the attention of the national team due to his early career in Europe's second-tier league, but with his consistent performance and good strength, Elano gradually occupied a place in the Brazilian midfield.

Despite his previous spells in Eastern Europe, Elano's impressive performances have caught the attention of many clubs, and according to the club's scouts, the Brazil international is well-rounded and has been consistent in the middle of midfield and on the right flank.

Wansheng likes players with all-round abilities, and bringing in a Brazil international can also make a big addition to the team.

With a player like Elano who can play on the right, Ivan Crewe can be freed up to complement the team's central or forward line, which will give the team more flexibility in formation and tactical changes.

After some consideration and research, Wan Sheng reported the names of these players to the team's transfer department and asked them to start the relevant transfer work.

Wansheng felt very refreshed.

In previous seasons, he was careful about transfer fees, and even had to worry about hundreds of thousands of pounds for a player, but now he can directly report the names of the players he needs, and the club will arrange all transfers, without worrying about the lack of transfer funds.

It's a lot easier and more enjoyable to make a transfer like this.

"It's no wonder that everyone likes to coach big clubs." Wan Sheng sighed, of course, coaching a big club is not only the benefit of transfer, but also the personal treatment has been improved a lot, so there is no need to talk about it carefully.
