Chapter 0480, in the summer of 2017, there was an earthquake in European football
The curtain on the 2016-2017 season of European football is about to come to an end.
After Manchester United won the Europa League, their season was over.
For Europe, though, there's one big game left in the season.
That was the Champions League final.
At the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, Real Madrid and Juventus will eventually compete for the ultimate chance to reach the top.
One is a long-time Champions League winner, the other is a loser in last season's Champions League final, and there will be people who will continue to be disappointed in this game.
In the end, Real Madrid swept Juventus 4-1 with its strong strength and finally won the lost Champions League title.
In the live broadcast room, it was still Alan Shearer and Carragher who were commenting.
Seeing Ronaldo's wonderful performance, Carragher not only admired: "Compared to Messi, I prefer this superstar who came out of the camp of the sworn enemy, I believe that many people are just like me, just an ordinary person, but they just don't admit defeat, they want to win everything desperately!" This is the Ronaldo spirit! His excellent performance made Juventus go home! β
Alan Shearer, who was sitting on the side, lamented the previous season: "Last season, it was the dark horse Leicester City of the English Premier League who met Real Madrid in the final. This season, Leicester City is in a low state, and the league even fell to the relegation zone for a time, but their results in European competition are still good, and the results in the Champions League quarterfinals are absolutely remarkable. But it's a pity that Leicester City is the only team from the Premier League in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, and it seems that the Premier League is now going downhill......
Carragher next to him patted his chest: "It's okay, we Liverpool can reach the final next year!" β
Alan Shearer: "Huh. β
Carragher: "I've done the math with the African Dark Wizard, and it's going to be fine!" β
Alan Shearer: "Did he say if Liverpool could win the final? β
Carragher: "Whether you win or not, it's great to be in the final anyway!" β
Now Carragher said casually and didn't care.
Unexpectedly, a year later, he recalled today's sentence again, it was really mixed......
The lively 2016-2017 season is finally over, and a few are happy and a few are sad.
But what is past has become history, and everything must be forward.
Although it is now a break period, the competition for the new season has begun.
And this summer will be a summer that will rewrite the history of European football.
Countless new rules, new ideas, and new plans are all starting from this summer.
The initial shock of this football transfer earthquake actually came from an inadvertent small move.
Real Madrid on the opposite side won the Champions League, and Barcelona couldn't sit still.
They are eagerly looking forward to strengthening their midfield.
After a look at European football, their eyes fell on an Italian player.
Verratti.
The 24-year-old Verratti is a midfielder with a knack for organisation, vision and technical finesse, and currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain and is the absolute brain of the team's midfield.
Barcelona is in the stage of midfield renewal, hoping to poach Verratti to supplement.
But when they tentatively asked for a price, they were decisively rejected by Paris.
No amount of money is sold!
Not for sale!
This worries Barcelona.
But don't worry, they have a way.
For this kind of player transfer, Barcelona can often solve the problem easily.
It's about letting the players figure it out for themselves.
After all, the golden sign of the Barcelona dynasty is there, who doesn't want to come to Barcelona?
Fabregas has the best say in this matter.
After all, in order to join their beloved club, they did not hesitate to pay out of their own pockets to make up the transfer difference of 5 million euros before wearing the Barcelona jersey.
Now, Barcelona's little move is here again.
Didn't you Paris let people go?
It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to buy someone.
Let your players talk to your club themselves.
By the way, let's say in advance, we're not wrong about anything, but don't blame us for doing things behind our backs.
Sure enough, Verratti talked about it in an interview with the French media.
'Barcelona are really interested in me, they are a good club.
Although Verratti didn't say much, it already made Paris, with its sensitive sense of smell, feel that something was wrong in an instant.
"Don't move Verratti!"
Barcelona FC was warned by the Paris club, but they didn't care.
Where did we move when I said this?
Obviously, the players themselves want to join the team.
When the time comes, the players will have their hearts, and the price will be easy to discuss.
Paris issued a warning for the second time, but Barcelona still went their own way, building momentum in the media, and also making small moves in the dark.
After all, they've won many times with this method before.
But this time, they're going to make a mistake.
Just when Barcelona and Verratti were eyebrows, news suddenly came here - Verratti quickly renewed his contract with Paris!
Five-year long lockdown!
This immediately stunned Barcelona!
What's going on?
Didn't succeed?
And this is still secondary, what Barcelona didn't expect was that Paris would publicly offer Messi!
Let's start with 100 million euros!
Not enough to add more money!
And the Paris sporting director specially met with Messi's father.
It's just a conversation between friends, and Paris doesn't mean to contact the players privately.
However, BarΓ§a feel that the situation is not good.
They immediately played the emotional card and tried their best to keep Messi.
Fortunately, Messi has a deep affection for Barcelona, and in the end he chose to stay and did not waver.
Just when Barcelona was just breathing a sigh of relief, it suddenly fried over there!
220 million euros!
Paris activates Neymar's minimum release clause!
This price is basically fine for Barcelona.
When they first entered it out, they didn't expect that one day someone would activate it.
But today, something happened!
Record super transfer fee, Neymar transfer to Grand Paris!
Barcelona fans are scared crazy!
It's all right!?
The Parisian fans are crazy!
It's all right?!
Known as the third superstar after Melo, reigning in Ligue 1!
This transfer has rewritten the history of international football!
The big move in Paris isn't over yet!
Soon, they announced another signing!
French supernova Kylian Mbappe, joined on loan!
In order to guarantee financial fairness, this rental is free!
However, there is a mandatory buyout clause - if Paris is not relegated at the end of the season, then Mbappe will be forced to buy out!
The buyout cost is 180 million euros!
220 million plus 180 million, Grand Paris has truly achieved "400 million recklessly"!
Grand Paris has made the whole of European football crazy!
Behind the beautiful Paris, there is the loneliness of Barcelona.
Without Neymar, Barcelona has completely lost the cornerstone of its reconstruction.
Originally, Barcelona was expecting Neymar to succeed Messi, and only needed to strengthen the midfield.
Well, now the midfield hasn't been poached, and the striker superstar has been poached.
Barcelona fans want to cry without tears......
