The 12th European Football Championship has finally come to an end after Italy successfully lifted the trophy at the Stadium of Light and became the first team to successfully defend the European Championship, and Trapattoni's Italian team was the biggest winner of the tournament.

In addition to the championship trophy, there are also several heavyweight awards that have been awarded to the Azzurri. Diego Milito won the European Championship Golden Boot with six goals ahead of Czech striker Barosz, and with this golden boot officially stepped into the ranks of the top strikers. Pirlo, who was named the best player, has also been recognized by more people for his outstanding performances in Fiorentina for two consecutive seasons and his leadership style in this European Cup, and has become a top midfielder who can compete with Redondo, Effenberg and other predecessors.

Although Andrea Pirlo has only scored one goal in this tournament, far less than Milito, who won the Golden Boot, and Cassano, who scored a crucial goal in the final, his role in the Italian team is irreplaceable. Without his command in midfield, Italy would not have been able to make it all the way to the final and lift the trophy. Therefore, the selection of Andrea Pirlo as the best player of the European Championship has not been questioned by many at all, because it is well known in the hearts of people that the Fiorentina midfielder is important in the Italian tactical system.

At the same time, Zambrotta, Nesta, Pirlo, Milito and other four were selected for the best team of this European Cup. Gianluigi Buffon unfortunately lost to Czech international Petr Cech in the selection of the best goalkeeper, because one of the judges thought that Petr Cech was there; Cassano, on the other hand, was excluded from the best team by Milito and Barosh due to his position. (Note: Cassano's selection as a striker rather than a midfielder led him to meet the more outstanding Milito and Baroshes in this competition, and unfortunately missed out on the best team)

Despite this, Italy still occupy more than a third of the best team spots, far outnumbering other teams, and their strong position in European football has not been shaken by the absence of Gianluigi Buffon and Cassano.

It's no wonder, after all, Italy has just won the three major awards of the European Championship, the Golden Boot and the best player......

When the fans reluctantly took their eyes off the European Cup, they were surprised to find that just when they were attracted a lot of attention by the European Cup, the door to the European summer transfer market had quietly opened unconsciously!

The reason why there is not much blockbuster transfer news in European football before the European Championship final is mainly because at this time, the attention of fans is attracted by the European Cup, and most of the powerful players at this time are participating in the European Cup with the national team, and there is no time to consider the transfer. Therefore, even if the two clubs have negotiated a transfer deal for an international player during this time period, there is no way to reach the player himself to discuss the treatment. Not to mention, the clubs that these internationals play for will not necessarily agree to sell their players before the European Championship - they are still thinking of gilding these players with the Euros so that they can sell them for a higher price!

What's more, after the demonstration of clubs such as Fiorentina and Real Madrid, these clubs have somewhat understood some truths and know that some blockbuster transfers can obtain more benefits through commercial speculation.

You know, player transfers, if done properly, can greatly enhance the club's popularity and influence. This, in turn, can bring more lucrative commercial benefits to the club. In recent years, Florentino has directly turned Real Madrid into a profit with the transfers of Figo, Zidane and Beckham, and has become one of the most profitable and influential clubs in the world, which is the best example.

Therefore, to sum up, in the case that the European Championship is not over, these clubs will at most put smoke bombs to hype, and will never break any valuable transfer news.

And now that the European Championship, which attracts the most attention from fans, has come to an end, it is natural that these blockbuster news can be made public.

On July 5th, fans who have not fully recovered from the impact of the European Championship learned two blockbuster news through the media: Chelsea's main central defender, England's new international John Terry, and Portugal's main central defender Ricardo Carvalho officially joined Inter Milan!

These two signings from Boss Mo naturally caused a shock in European football. Although these two deals were finalized in advance as early as last season, no one at that time except Zhuang Mingge expected that Terry and Carvalho would be so capable, and at the end of the season, one became the main central defender of the Champions League winning team, and the other became the mainstay of the Portuguese backline!

Although the hosts reached the semi-finals of this tournament, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Carvalho was a player who had improved Portugal's defence. Therefore, in the eyes of professionals, Carvalho's transfer is as good value for money as Terry!

The most important thing is that after the addition of Terry and Carvalho, counting Cannavaro and Materazzi, who were already in the team, the Nerazzurri have a full four first-class central defenders in the central defensive position, and the strength of the defensive end has suddenly risen several notches.

In this regard, more than a dozen other Serie A clubs have scolded Inter Milan for this move in their hearts - you have four world-class central defenders in the team at once, and even a defender of Cordoba's level can only go to the side to find a living space, can you still let people play well?

Although the transfers of Terry and Carvalho are shocking enough, due to the position on the field, and the transfer of the two has been announced by the media as early as the winter break, this has weakened the psychological impact of fans a lot, and the effect is naturally greatly reduced. In fact, most of the managers who were frightened by this news were the managers, because they were able to realise the huge threat posed to them by Inter's move.

If the transfers of Terry and Carvalho are not shocking enough, then the next piece of news is enough to leave the vast majority of fans stunned - Michael Owen, one of the twin stars of Liverpool, the leading striker of the England national team, and once the same name as Raul of Real Madrid, transferred to Real Madrid for 12 million euros!
