Section 509 A New Era
.. Liverpool doesn't have a lot of money, and the team that has just won the championship attaches great importance to the retention of old players, can't sell people at will, and does tinkering work, so in comparison, their actions are not big. After signing Figo and buying Reina, McConn, Sissoko and a few others, the transfer fee for this year will be almost nothing, and naturally there will be no amazing strokes.
And several other Premier League teams are also doing more or less tinkering work.
There are many people who have scandals with Manchester United, but the main force that really bought it, except for an old goalkeeper Van der Sar, there is no one. Although it is rumored that Manchester United is not low in interest in Lyon's Essien and Bayern's Ballack, Lyon's asking price is not low, and Bayern has not yet fallen to the point of relying on selling people.
After arguing for a long time, they had an affair with South Korean Park Ji-sung. It is said that after Zhao Yaning's transfer to Liverpool, the Chinese side began to consider buying the broadcast rights of the Premier League again, and Liverpool's popularity in China has increased significantly, which also makes Manchester United, which has always valued the Far East market, a little anxious. Dong Fangzhuo has been abandoned by Manchester United after the bad style of the national team, and at this time, they also began to contact South Korea's chief star Park Ji-sung, hoping to buy him. This deal can also only be regarded as a tinkering transfer, Manchester United is betting on the growth of Ronaldo and Rooney, as well as the transformation of old players.
"It looks like the Glazer family may not be as rich as we think......"
After the English media found out that Glazer did not invest like Abu, they began to blame the investor. After all, in everyone's opinion, as an American boss, it's okay to not know the ball, but if you don't have money, that's your fault.
And the scolding of those who have no money, and the transfer of Chelsea who have money have also touched the ashes of a nose.
The few reinforcements they proposed also ran into a lot of trouble. Here in Liverpool, Gerrard is naturally impossible to leave, and after Arsenal promised a contract extension with a high salary, Ashley Cole also decided to stay. Except for Wright Phillips's less resistance to transfer, the other transfers, because they are not easy to dig within the Premier League, are not very successful.
Moreover, this summer, they also quarreled fiercely with Manchester United because of the introduction of Nirìlia player Mikel. The Zinedine Zidane midfielder, who is known as Nirìlia, showed amazing talent at the World Youth Championships. After the game, the player, who had already signed a letter of intent with Manchester United, switched to Chelsea under the temptation of Chelsea, for which United took Chelsea to court, and both teams quarreled over the player for a summer.
The player finally expressed his attitude, "I was forced to sign for Manchester United, I have been a Chelsea fan since two years ago, I want to play for this place, and when I signed for Manchester United, I felt like my life was at a low point......
With such an attitude, Manchester United will naturally not bring him in again. In the end, Chelsea paid Manchester United 12 million and Mikel's old club 4 million, which is considered to be the completion of the transaction. It's just that this recruitment, in Chelsea's view, is only a preparation for the retirement of Claude Makellele, and the main player they really want to bring in is Michael Essien, who plays for Lyon.
And in the process of introducing Essien, they also encountered a lot of trouble. Because Essien was matched by Manchester United and Chelsea at the same time, Aulas was also waiting for the price to sell, and refused to let him go easily. And Lyon has achieved good results in recent years, the French championship has arrived, and the Champions League has entered the quarterfinals for two consecutive years, although it is still inferior to a team like Chelsea, but everyone has no history to speak of, no one should laugh at anyone, in the confidence of negotiations, Lyon did not lose to Chelsea, when Chelsea proposed to bring in reinforcements, this deal in the eyes of the ambitious Aolas, it is not a strong team looking for a weak team to buy people, but a transaction between strong teams. With Lyon having won more league titles than Chelsea in recent years, and the Champions League is also in the last eight in a row, not much worse than Chelsea in the last four, Aolas feels that this is an equal deal between clubs. What's more, there is Manchester United staring at the side, and people may not be sold to Chelsea.
However, Chelsea, who have always been known for their generosity, are more than willing to give generously in this transaction, not only refusing to be generous, but also exerting pressure through the media in various ways.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with Zhao Yaning, but in England, the media can still associate it.
"Chelsea bought Essien to deal with Zhao Yaning."
Soon, the Mirror took on a new perspective on what the deal meant.
"Michael Essien is the best player to defend against Zhao Yaning. Chelsea brought him in to compete with Zhao Yaning. ”
Chelsea were winless against Liverpool last year and Abou is said to have said angrily that if he loses to Liverpool again, Mourinho will be gone. At this time, the introduction of players to supplement the squad is also something that Chelsea must consider.
Against Liverpool, how to defend Zhao Yaning is naturally the biggest topic. And when looking at Zhao Yaning's previous football record, you can see that what he hates the most is not a good defensive position, timely filling, and kicking
Accurate defense. What he hates is people who are stalking, pestering, and defending with endless physical confrontations.
Gattuso in the Champions League final was a good constraint on Zhao Yaning, and before that, the combination of Lyon's Essien and Diarra was able to limit Zhao Yaning. When Zhao Yaning was in Ligue 1, the most deflated time was when he met Essien and Diarra. Whether it was in Bastia in the first season or in Lyon in the second season, Essien blocked Zhao Yaning very well and made him suffer a lot of losses.
Chelsea have a stronger Makelele and don't need a player of Diarra's type, and if they can buy Essien, they can naturally form the best formation to defend Zhao Yaning. One person is entangled, the other is supplemented, and the excellent cooperation of the two people can make Zhao Yaning's left and right greatly decrease.
It is precisely because of this that the media asked and speculated that the role of buying Essien was to deal with Zhao Yaning.
'It's not bad, I haven't played against Essien for a long time. When Zhao Yaning heard his teammates mention this to him, he frowned and spoke, "It's quite interesting to play with him, at least, it's really a challenge." ”
Although Zhao Yaning also admitted that he was really struggling with Essien, he didn't feel that he needed to be afraid of Essien. Now his progress is not small, plus his teammates are also very good, there is no need to be afraid of him.
On the contrary, it was the media's words that made Zhao Yaning feel a little flattered. Have you already begun to influence the recruitment of various teams?
However, this kind of thing is normal, he has been famous for several years, and many new stars have used him as a template after playing famous.
For example, the three young people of the French 87 class, Ben Alpha, Nasri, and Menez, are all considered to be close to Zhao Yaning's type. And Brazil's Robinho, as well as Messi, who became famous in the World Youth Championship, are both known as the South American version of Zhao Yaning after playing famous.
Even in England, there is a Southampton Walcott, because of his speed and Liverpool fans, he is also regarded as Zhao Yaning's type - this player once had transfer rumors with Liverpool, but in the end, because his price was too high, no agreement was reached.
Now he can be regarded as a famous star. The people who deal with him naturally can't be bad. In addition to Essien, it is said that Ballack, who Manchester United and Chelsea are pursuing at the same time, are also aimed at guarding against Zhao Yaning.
It's just that Barak is still unclear about his attitude. He only has one year left on his contract, and it stands to reason that it should be time to renew his contract with the club, and if not, it is time to sell. But Barak's attitude has always been ambiguous. Every time he saw the media, when he looked at the fans, he patted his chest and promised that he would stay in the team and contribute everything to Bayern, but when he turned his head to Bayern to talk about contract renewal, he kept avoiding it, and under Bayern's repeated pressure, he said that he would renew his contract in three months.
This is a shameless statement: after three months, it is already time for the transfer market to close, and at that time there is only half a year left in the contract, and it cannot be sold, and the contract is equivalent to rotting. However, at this time, Bayern can't afford to gamble. Ballack is too important for Bayern, and selling him would be tantamount to a complete rebuild. Moreover, he also vowed that he would renew his contract, and if Bayern sold him at this time, it would be Bayern's initiative to abandon him, and the fans would definitely not agree. And on the eve of the World Cup, they took the initiative to abandon the number one big name of the national team, Bayern is a German team after all, and they don't dare to play this evil door.
Although they know that if they can't reach an agreement now, it is likely to lead to his transfer next year, but Bayern can only admit that this is unlucky. Now all they are looking forward to is that Barak's character is a little better, and the contract will be renewed after three months.
And Ballack's attitude has made Manchester United and Chelsea go in vain, and their lineup changes are not too big.
But at a time when others are bringing in midfielders, Arsenal's transfer seems to be extremely unusual, and it is extremely sensational.
At the start of the season, they first spent tens of millions of dollars to bring in Hleb from Stuttgart. Originally, everyone thought that Arsenal was ready to make a big move, but as a result, they immediately sold Vieira to Juventus. This decision to sell people has caused a sensation in the Premier League, what will Arsenal look like without Vieira? Such a thing is simply unimaginable.
"I was sitting at home when I got a phone call out of the blue. I don't know why the team sold me, it makes no sense! ”
Vieira was still indignant when he was interviewed by the French media. He had been on his honeymoon in France this summer, but suddenly, he received a call from Arsene Wenger, telling him that Arsenal didn't need him anymore and had sold him, which made him feel like everything had suddenly changed.
"I knew Mr Wenger wanted to take my place with that young man. He's a good player, he's good, he's talented. But replace me now? It's a little too early. ”
With the whining, it became clear that the Premier League was over an era.
Keane is getting old, Patrick Vieira is leaving, and the days of Manchester United and Arsenal are over. Liverpool recovers, Chelsea rises, Premier League, omega · u(8) Update the fastest reading network
