After selling a number of attacking players, Tottenham announced their first summer signing on 28 July 2008. Tottenham Hotspur have brought in young striker Suarez, who has excelled in the Champions League this season for £28 million.

Among Sparta Prague's attacking line, Suarez has not been the best performer this season. In terms of goals and assists, he is not as good as Hulk on the right. But Suarez is more famous in European football because Suarez has performed well in the Champions League. In particular, in the battle of defeating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, one man broke the Real Madrid defense. Make Suarez famous.

Although it is not as good as Hulk in terms of goals and assists in the Czech league, it has also scored thirteen goals and six assists in the Czech league. Under the abnormal transfer price this season, Tottenham ended up spending £28 million.

Twenty-eight million pounds, converted into euros, is forty million euros. With this transfer coming out, the European media unanimously bombarded Sparta Prague. You're a little club in the Czech league, and you've become the number one black spot in European football. Look at the sale of three defenders this summer, plus Suarez, it has already sold more than 80 million pounds, which is hundreds of millions of euros in euros.

And Sparta Prague still has a lot of good players. Including the core player Hamsik in the frontcourt, and Hulk on the right side, they are all on the radar of European football. There is no guarantee that they will not move this summer, and if they do move to Sparta Prague it is not really a deal.

And Rist was counting the money and was happy. Suarez's ownership of half of the property gave Rist £14 million, followed by another £3 million in commissions from Tottenham. Of course, Suarez was also given a signing fee of three million pounds, a high salary of 90,000 pounds. Suarez received an annual salary of 1.2 million euros in Sparta Prague, which was several times over.

Just as they were scolding Sparta Prague for the black spots, Tottenham brought in reinforcements from Sparta Prague again. This time, they are recruiting Hamsik, the heart of Sparta Prague's midfield.

The 21-year-old Hamsik was not a Sparta Prague academy player, but Sparta Prague introduced him to his club when he first made his mark in the Slovak league. Hamsik was not yet seventeen years old at the time. It's already in Sparta Prague. Then he started playing in Sparta Prague, which has been going on for several seasons. Sparta Prague have been able to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League in two consecutive seasons, and Hamsik has been outstanding.

Tottenham have money now. In particular, Hleb, Arshavin and Berbatov, their high transfer fees have made Tottenham very confident. Hamsik's position in Sparta Prague is no worse than Suarez's, but Suarez's performance in sinking Real Madrid this year is too impressive. Therefore, Suarez's transfer fee is high. And Hamsik does not have such treatment.

On 30 July 2008, Tottenham announced a second signing. Tottenham spent £19 million to bring in their central midfielder, Hamsik, from Sparta Prague. Bringing in two attacking players from Sparta Prague cost Tottenham £47 million.

Tottenham began to bring in reinforcements, and Atletico Madrid on the other side was not sloppy at all. After selling Torres, although they were ready to correct Aguero, they did not give up on bringing in excellent strikers. Because Aguero is so young. I'm just 20 years old this year. So Atletico is not very worried about Aguero alone, so Atletico began to look for a striker who can replace Torres. Atletico Madrid is eyeing Villarreal's striker Forlan.

The 29-year-old is arguably one of the best strikers in La Liga at the moment. Since coming to Villarreal, he has scored more than 100 goals for Villarreal in four seasons. Although Atletico Madrid is not as rich as an upstart like Manchester City, it is not as attractive as a giant like Barcelona. Torres and Alves were thus lost.

But in the face of Villarreal, there is enough confidence. Soon Atletico reached an agreement with Villarreal. Villarreal's main striker, Forlan. Transferred to Atletico Madrid for 24 million euros. And Atletico continue to poach Villarreal. They brought in young Uruguayan defender Godin from Villarreal for 12 million euros.

And Atletico soon brought in another right-back from Ligue 1. Lille is currently doing well in Ligue 1 at right-back Debichy. In order to bring in Debichy, Atletico Madrid spent seven million euros.

After all, Atletico Madrid does not earn as much as Tottenham, and the owner does not have as much money as anyone else, so they can't spend money as casually as Tottenham. Atletico Madrid got a lot of transfer fees this summer, and there are still a lot of debts that need to be repaid. So it's good to bring in these players.

…………

"Marko, what do you think?"

The peak of transfers in European football is over. Although no one can say what kind of transfer will be next. But most of the heavyweight transfers have already been completed. The rest is simple tinkering, and it is not so easy to get another sensational transfer.

Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid and other second-tier powerhouses have basically completed their transfers. Of course, there are some clubs that have not yet made a move, such as Villarreal, which has sold a lot of people. Villarreal has changed a lot this season and sold David. Silva, Forlan, Godin, Cáceres, and the transfer fee is also nearly 90 million euros. It's just that they haven't made a move so far. Still screening.

Rist was also considered to have been the busiest in the end. Although he was very busy, Rist made more than 100 million in just three months and became the biggest winner in the transfer market this year. Most of that money was in pounds, and Rist had swapped them for other currencies in the foreign exchange market long before the pound fell.

Needless to say, the number one winner this summer was Rist. Lister not only sent Benitez to Inter, but more importantly, Sparta Prague has produced so many high-priced stars, which has greatly increased Rist's strength in European football. Of course, the main thing is to make money. The remaining winners are on both sides. One is Mendes, who entered Real Madrid with Mourinho, and the other is Pep Guardiola's agent and his brother who have risen with Pep Guardiola becoming Barcelona manager.

But this has nothing to do with Rist. Sparta Prague sold more than 150 million euros of players this summer, even if it was more than 50 million euros taken by Rist for ownership reasons. But Hamsik, Krarov, Ivanov, their transfer Ferrist only got some commissions. Sparta Prague still received nearly 100 million euros in transfer fees this summer.

However, with so many players gone, Sparta Prague also needs to be added. Sparta Prague has actually recruited a number of players within the Czech league. But for Sparta Prague, which had hundreds of millions of euros in their hands in the summer, it was nothing at all.

Just after selling Ivanovich, Thiago. After Silva, Krarov and other big defenders, Sparta Prague set their sights on the best players in Eastern Europe. Croatia's young rising star. Dinamo Zagreb's 19-year-old defender Lovren has caught the eye of Sparta Prague.

Lovren is outstanding and is a top star in the Croatian league. It has already received the attention of the national team. The call for a place in the Croatian national team is high. It's a pity that the Croatian league is so bad, and Sparta Prague and Dinamo Zagreb have a good relationship. Because Lister has a very good personal relationship with their crown prince Mamicchi. Sparta Prague did not treat Dinamo Zagreb badly, and finally brought in the nineteen-year-old Lovren for nine million euros.

Sparta Prague is now developing very benignly. Young players from Eastern and Northern Europe are recruited and trained in the Czech league before being sold.

But it's not enough. Rist has already come to Germany to find his players in Germany. Reuss, who is still playing in the red and white of Ahren, was found.

"Is that okay?"

Royce is nineteen years old, because he was not in good health when he was young. So it was abandoned by the Dortmund academy at that time. At that time, Rist did not speak for him, but instead manipulated the Ahren red and white that he had joined in the regional league. He has been playing in the Ahren for several years and has been playing for several years. The performance is still very good, but Ahren Red and White is a club in the regional league. So there is not much influence. Royce's physical development was a little late, and now it is very good.

This season, the Ahlon Reds and Whites have been promoted to the German second division, which is a great opportunity for Reuss. Historically, Reuss was favored by Borussia Mönchengladbach because of his outstanding performance in the German second division, replacing the departed Marin. It also began a brilliant career at Reuss.

"Of course. The attention of the German second division is still too low. If you stay here, you don't know when you'll get a chance to play in the top league. Sparta Prague is different, he is the hegemon of the Czech league, the club that has the opportunity to play in the Champions League every year. If you look at the transfers of Sparta Prague this summer, it was all because of their excellent performances in the Champions League. ”

With the strong development of the Czech league in recent years, there is more and more cooperation between the German league and the Czech league. A lot of players who can't find opportunities in the German league play in the Czech Republic. Anyway, the two countries have a deep relationship in history. The German players did not have to worry about adapting to the Czech Republic at all.

In fact, it is good for Royce to stay in Germany to develop, but Rist is unwilling. Mainly because Lister didn't want Reus to go to Dortmund. Reuss has a deep affection for Borussia Dortmund, and historically he has chosen between Bayern and Dortmund. Then he stayed in Dortmund and did not leave Dortmund at its hottest. Even Gotze, who was three years younger than him, left Dortmund, Lewandowski left Dortmund, and there was no news of Reus's transfer.

A player as good as Reus doesn't transfer, what does Rist eat. A player as good as Reus has to keep moving to be able to make the most profit for Rister. Therefore, Rist wanted to make him famous in Sparta Prague, and then Dortmund would not have the funds to bring in Reuss at all, and there would be no funds to pay Reuss high wages. In this way, Lister could eliminate the possibility of Reuss going to Dortmund.

"Can I adapt?"

Reuss is now just a player who has played in the German National League, and he is a little unconfident when he is asked to play in Sparta Prague for the Champions League.

"Of course. Marco, you have to be confident in yourself. Not sure enough, how would I let you go to the Czech Republic. You are the best talent of the German 88 and 89 generation players at the moment. ”

"Well, I believe you."

Finally, Royce nodded. Although there is some lack of confidence, the Champions League is what attracts him after all. As for Rister saying that he was the most outstanding genius of the 88 and 89 generation, he only thought that Lister comforted himself. After all, there is already Marin from Bremen among the players of the 88 generation, and Marin from Borussia Mönchengladbach among the players of the 89 generation.

"Marko, this is your first step to success. Next year, the year after that, the whole European football world will know you. ”

This time in Germany, Riester took two young players with him. One is the red-and-white Reuss of the Ahlen, and the other is the centre-back Subertic who plays in Mainz. All to complement Sparta Prague.

But just as Rist was discussing with Reus and Subertic in Germany, another sensational transfer was brewing here in European football. It should be said that it was the last sensational transfer of the summer.

On 14 August 2008, an agreement was reached between Chelsea and Real Madrid. Chelsea brought in Real Madrid's Robinho for £32 million.

ps：

Today a change. This year's tourism business itself is not good, and there is a so-called inspection group from the ministry on Friday, which is really troublesome. Now I found out that most of the previous tourism was with public money, and this piece was stuck on it, and the business collapsed immediately. Today's number of passengers is not half of what it was in the same period last year, or a third. If business continues to be so bleak, it looks like it's time to change careers.
