The summer of 2001 is destined to be remembered forever by all fans.

This summer, a shocking deal was completed, officially announcing that the center of world football is moving from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.

Serie A is still the number one league in the world, but it is no longer the only place that top players aspire to.

Since the beginning of this year, the top players who have become famous in Serie A have lost La Liga and the Premier League without exception, and Serie A has finally become a short-lived springboard and star processing plant under the feet of superstar players.

On July 9, 2001, Real Madrid announced that Zidane had joined Zidane at a world-record transfer price of 77.5 million euros.

During this period, two of Europe's top midfielders, Figo and Zinedine Zidane, met Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's superstar policy has been confirmed, and the prototype of the Galaxy has appeared.

This transfer news instantly detonated the entire world football world.

Major media outlets have exclaimed that the wolf is coming.

However, under the brilliance of Zidane, few people noticed that Real Madrid promoted teenager Pavon from their own academy to the first team.

Real Madrid president Florentino has won the support of fans with a "superstar policy", announcing that a superstar will be brought in every year.

But he is equally aware of the drawbacks of doing so.

You can't be a superstar on a team.

The luxury of the midfield must be supported by the "civilians" in the backfield.

Once Pavon kicks out, the superstar policy will be refined into a "Zidane + Pavon" policy.

At that time, Real Madrid will enter its heyday, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the cornerstone of a century-old foundation.

Real Madrid has become the best in the world, and his sworn rival Barcelona really can't suppress the anger of the fans if he doesn't make any more moves.

Especially after Barcelona ushered in a season in which the big four were empty.

……

"Barcelona put a price tag of 15 million euros for Simão, and everyone knows it's an impossible deal!" 》

Simão has publicly expressed his reluctance to play for Barcelona, and while on holiday in Madeira, he has announced that he will not set foot in the Barcelona area again! 》

Sky Sports: "Simao's agent reveals that Simao's next stop may be the Premier League, and the player is personally more inclined to join Manchester United! ”

Daily Sport: "What are Barcelona waiting for? It is true that it is a loss to sell Simon at a low price, but if you don't make up for it as soon as possible, will you have to do it again and the four will be empty? ”

"World Sports News": "The club that is distressed about money can't do big things, Real Madrid smashed the world's No. 1 transfer record, but we are still twisting and turning on the difference of millions!" ”

The media and fans have been critical of Barca's attitude.

In this regard, Barcelona's official aggrieved response: "Barcelona is negotiating transfers with a number of important targets, this will be a season with significant investment, and it is slow because it does not want to make mistakes." ”

"We also have excellent academy players, you don't have to buy other people's youngsters, La Masia's level is world-class!"

After the speech, Barcelona directly brought a few young players from the youth team into the first team and played a match.

There are eighteen-year-old talented midfielder Thiago Motta, twenty-year-old Barca midfielder Mikel Arteta, twenty-two-year-old Barca academy winger Luis Garcia and others.

However, fans are not buying it.

"Not all players are qualified to play with Quaresmabi!"

'Motta may have a future, but Garcia and Arteta will not be world-class stars!'

'I'm bullish on Motta, as for Arteta...... The ceiling of the academy team is much higher than him! ”

"Arteta is in the first team purely because Guardiola is optimistic about him, but Guardiola has not renewed his contract with the team, so I think he may have to go!"

"Sporting Lisbon has successively cultivated Figo, Simao, Quaresma, and Ronaldo, so they promoted their own Garcia. I'm not against cultivating my own people, but it has to be that material. ”

"If the team can't buy good wide players like Quaresma, I won't buy a Barcelona season ticket for next season, because I don't have a reason to watch a game that I have to lose!"

"This bunch of shitty sports department workers is simply wasting Rivaldo's prime!"

Barcelona's operation clearly got off the hook, and the reaction from the fans was far beyond their expectations.

If this continues, there is a high probability that there will be a change in management.

In order to stop the accident in time, Barcelona can only respond quickly.

They decisively loaned out Luis Garcia and Mikel Arteta, leaving Motta to let the fans know they weren't going to be shoddy.

However, Quaresma has not arrived because Sporting Lisbon has ...... The price has increased!

Last summer, Barcelona offered 7 million euros.

And the psychological price of Sporting Lisbon is 10 million euros.

This summer, Barcelona offered 20 million euros.

Sporting Lisbon directly stated that this is not for sale.

Barcelona then raised the price by 22 million euros.

Then Sporting Lisbon showed Barcelona offers from Premier League teams and Serie A teams, and Barcelona was dumbfounded at the time.

Arsenal and Manchester United offered the same price.

Lazio and Roma offered a price of 25 million euros.

These teams are more competitive than Barcelona, and they give more than Barcelona, and Quaresma and Sporting Lisbon have their brains in the water to choose Barcelona.

Negotiations have reached an impasse and Barca intend to put pressure on Sporting Lisbon on other fronts.

If you don't sell me the wings, I'll go find other wings.

As a result, Barcelona have announced their other signings for the season.

"Seventeen million euros, French defender Philippe Cristanbal joins Barcelona! It will be the last piece of the puzzle in the Barcelona backline! 》

"The one-meter-nine tall defender Cristanwal is the type of central defender that Barcelona has never had in recent years! 》

"Cristanwal is not exactly suitable for Barcelona, the biggest reason for Barcelona to buy him is Deng Kai! 》

"The best player in the history of the UEFA Cup, Deng Kai, scared Barcelona's guts! A hat-t-trick with a header ordered Barcelona to spend nearly 20 million euros more to strengthen its air defense! 》

"Monaco made a good deal, Cristanval's worth is not worth 17 million euros at all!" 》

Yes, in order to solve the problem of defensive height, Barcelona suffered a bit of a loss and made a tall central defender.

They have high hopes for the player, but sometimes you really don't want to buy things that don't fit because it's better not to buy them than to buy them.

The centre-back taught Barcelona the following season with a nightmarish turnover.

"The Brazil Gang is the next city! Barcelona 20 million euros from Cruzeiro to take away the talented attacking midfielder Giovanni! 》

Quaresma Alternatives? Giovanni was originally a wide player and could be used for wide playmaking and dribbling! 》

"Barcelona give up Quaresma? Sporting Lisbon has taken off its own value? 》

"Don't buy it! Barcelona fans gather at the club with Quarespol jerseys in hand! 》
