Section 840 Arrival of new reinforcements
(Cat Flutter Chinese) Before Ancelotti took office, Real Madrid's recruitment work was actually already being prepared.
It stands to reason that Real Madrid has just won the league championship and doesn't need too many reinforcements, but since Florentino is in power, how can he not buy people? And if you buy someone, you have to buy a big name, otherwise, how can you show that he is extraordinary?
Xiao Xiao Luo and Kaka can't buy it, but they can buy others, after Florentino came to power, the first offer is to directly refer to the hottest player in Ligue 1 now Benzema and Inter Milan's striker Ibrahimovic.
Lyon followed Mourinho to the Champions League final this season, which also made Benzema's value rise all of a sudden. After Florentino came to power, he couldn't dig up Xiao Xiaoluo and Kaka, and he was unwilling to buy those players who were not famous, so he thought of buying Benzema, who is now famous.
As an alternative, it is Inter Milan striker Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic is Serie A's best player of the season, but his reputation is much worse than Kaka's. One is that the European competition is not effective, and the other is that he is not handsome enough and his temper is not good enough, which makes him not the top player in Serie A, and it also makes Florentino a little picky. However, after all, Serie A is higher than the level of Ligue 1, Ibrahimovic's strength is stronger, and the rest of Inter may not work, but Bai Moratti has been operating for many years, only buying the hobby of strikers, and their striker's brand is also very loud, who is the main striker of Inter Milan, who has the title of the world's first striker, which also makes Florentino have to think.
Of course, Real Madrid is not short of strikers at this time - Raul has not retired yet, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Higuain are also in, and Negredo and Soldado are almost able to play, so in this case, it is really not worth buying people.
Still, Florentino had his own considerations. Ruud van Nistelrooy and Gonzalo Higuain were both signings from Calderon's time, while Raul was a member of the team's academy. If these people are used to produce results, how can they prove that he is extraordinary as the president of the club? Therefore, he is also thinking about bringing in a striker to prove that he is great.
And the candidates he considered, one is Benzema, and the other is Ibrahimovic. In addition to the two of them, the other strikers, Torres refused to come, Drogba did not come, and some other players, after all, are not of good grade.
Both men are also interested in Real Madrid right now, with Inter Milan and Lyon desperately trying to keep their players, and although Real Madrid's offer is very appealing, it is not certain who will come here at the end of the day.
But there will always be one, that, Florentino does not doubt.
And as soon as this news of reinforcements came out, the whole world was sensational again. The practice of Mr. One Year of the Galaxy Battleship was sensational enough, but in recent years, Mr. Footballer is not easy to find, and Real Madrid has to face the problem of buying people, but who would have thought that Florentino's idea is still so simple and direct: directly in the major giant teams, take away other people's top players.
This approach is really eye-catching.
In fact, when Ancelotti arrived, there was also a showdown for Florentino.
"As for the arrival of strikers, I've already agreed with Inter Milan. They are willing to sell Ibrahimovic to us. The transfer fee is about 65 million euros, which I think is a good deal. ”
Benzema still didn't buy it in the end - reaching a Champions League final made Aolas's confidence extremely high, and he refused to sell his core players from the academy at this time. Although Benzema wanted to come to Real Madrid, he still chose to stay in the team under the persuasion of Aolas.
He was not a strong-willed person, although he was known as a combination of Henry and Trezeguet, and was praised by Ronaldo as the person who most resembled him, but because he was born in a wealthy family and was a genius, Benzema really lacked a hard work and motivation. He is indeed a genius, but his temperament is really a little bit sharpened. Since Olas is trying his best to keep him, he will naturally not make a transfer wholeheartedly.
And Ibrahimovic is different. Inter Milan is not strong in the Champions League, and Ibrahimovic is also holding a lot of anger in his heart. After falling out with Mancini this year, he and Inter Milan also fell apart. And at this time, Real Madrid's poaching came at the right time. He himself wanted to play in a stronger team, in a better environment with his team-mates, and Real Madrid wanted him, and his agent was impressed by the 9 million euros salary promised by Fiorenti, so he immediately agreed to the transfer.
When a player agrees to a transfer, it will be difficult for the team to keep it. And Real Madrid and Inter Milan have not done business once or twice, both sides have enough experience, and the negotiations are also smooth. 65 million, a price enough to enter the top 10 of the transfer record, Ibrahimovic moved to Real Madrid.
Ancelotti didn't say much - the deal was a good deal or not, and Florentino would not change his mind. Benzema didn't buy it, and buying Ibrahimovic was already a concession, and it was impossible for Fiorentino to accept a player with a less famous name. Vanney is old after all, and Higuain really needs to be honed, and having Ibrahimovic here is really helpful.
And he also understands that Florentino's intention to clean up cannot be stopped. Not to mention that Vanney is old and has many injuries, even in his peak state, this kind of big-name star bought by the former chairman has no good fruit to eat. Even if it was Zidane, wasn't he in a hurry to retire at the beginning? This kind of thing is not just a football problem.
"The problem of the striker, I have taken care of it, how to make the back line run in well, it is not a big problem, how to make Zhao Yaning and Ibrahimovic work together, this is the important problem. I'm sure you'll be able to give me a satisfactory answer, right? ”
"I'll try to fight for it. They are all good players. Very good players together, running out, should be better. ”
Ancelotti also put a question mark on himself in his heart.
Zhao Yaning and Yibu, can they really run in? Ancelotti himself has no answer to this question. Ibrahimovic has a proud personality, but he is not unadjustable. Zhao Yaning's temperament is very gentle, but he also seems to have some thoughts of his own. When two people get together, can they produce a good chemistry? Ancelotti didn't know, but he was also interested in knowing: such a thing, of course, is desirable, what would the cooperation of top players look like?
And on top of that, he was also happy that Fiorentino had fulfilled his promise and left the matter to Ancelotti when it came to defending the players.
As for the backline, Ancelotti also directly put forward his own requirements: Ivanovic, who plays for Chelsea in the Premier League, is his target.
It's a strange choice: Branislav Ivanovic only arrived at Chelsea last season and hasn't played very well at Chelsea, and he's still a non-European player who occupies a non-European spot, so he doesn't look like the best candidate.
"There are only a few defenders to choose from. The best right-back in Ligue 1, Sagna, is one, followed by Liverpool's McCone and Arbeloa, as well as Alves...... Alves went to Barcelona, not to mention, McConn Liverpool will definitely not sell, and Arbeloa's attack is too poor, Sagna has the same problem, Ivanovic is good at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. ”
'You seem to have bought right-back.
Real Madrid's problems, one is that there is no substitute at right-back, and the other is that the centre-back Cannavaro is getting older. Ancelotti was thinking first about right-back, rather than a successor at centre-back, much to the surprise of Florentino.
'My idea is to play Ramos at centre-back and succeed Cannavaro. Of course, you have to guard against unsuccess, so you can buy Ivanovic, and if it doesn't work, let Ramos continue to play on the right side and let Ivanovic play in the middle. It's also good to have an extra preparation. ”
"Carlo, you know, you're playing for Real Madrid, there's no need to do that kind of preparation. If you think it's necessary, buy an extra defender. ”
Florentino's words made Ancelotti shake his head, "There's no need, there may be problems in the locker room if there are more people, I don't want them to make trouble." ”
"But to use a non-European place on a defender...... Is there really no problem with that? ”
"It's okay. The big names of the frontcourt players now have EU citizenship anyway, so don't worry about this problem. ”
Florentino did not object again. Ancelotti saw very clearly that Florentino was going to bring in big names and engage in a propaganda offensive, and he didn't care who it was. Ancelotti simply went with him, without any opinions, and Florentino was quite satisfied with such an attitude.
Branislav Ivanovic's acquisition was not too difficult, he had just arrived at Chelsea, he didn't play out and he didn't have any feelings. Chelsea are now changing managers again, so they haven't kept him well, and Real Madrid have basically completed the acquisition. First Ibrahimovic transferred to Real Madrid for 65 million, and then Ivanovic transferred to Real Madrid for 15 million, Zhao Yaning had just arrived in the team, and he had already heard about Real Madrid's handiwork - 80 million was thrown out, and this summer, Real Madrid bought new players.
Of course, at the same time as buying people, the team also considered selling people: M Torres, Soldado, Negredo all left the team this year. Their strength is actually quite good, but, after all, they do not meet the needs of Real Madrid, so they have been purged.
And what was also sold was Gago, who was bought as a star of hope. This season, after a series of problems, he was also given up by the team: his ability was not good, his mentality was not good, and he had conflicts with his club teammates, and his departure was only a matter of time. Although the team said that they would inspect it and loaned him out, Zhao Yaning estimated that he would not be able to come back.
Of course, Gago's departure and De La Red's retirement also made Real Madrid's midfielder need a new replacement.
With the purchase of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Branislav Ivanovic, Real Madrid's front and back have been replenished, so that Real Madrid will only have to consider the issue of substitutes at the back for the time being.
As for the midfield, Real Madrid also quickly completed a signing. Baldano has signed midfielder Flamini, who has expired at Arsenal's contract, to complete the addition of the midfield position.
The transfer didn't give Florentino anything. The reinforcement of the back midfield, he didn't care much about it. In such a position, it doesn't matter who comes, since Ambrosini and De Rossi, who were recommended by Ancelotti, refused to come, then, there was a free Flamini to play as a substitute, and Florentino had no opinion.
And no one in the team said anything about this recruitment. After all, Flamini is only a substitute, and how he plays will have to be seen.
For him, signing Ibrahimovic is a success. The other petty transfers are all attached.
As a champion team, Real Madrid don't need to make much change this season. Except for De La Red's accident that caused problems in this position and needed to be supplemented, the other positions were not supplemented very much. After such tinkering, Real Madrid can be regarded as completing the recruitment. The rest is to look at the run-in -
PS: On the back issue: The Flamini mentioned here will not be the main player this season, and the solution to the back problem is: the most ready. Cat flutter Chinese
