"I have to admit that Real Madrid will play."

At Calderón Stadium, Yang Hao heard the news that Real Madrid had signed Ronaldo.

There has been no official announcement yet, but in fact, everyone knows that Ronaldo is no longer ready to return to Manchester United.

Yang Hao guessed that it should be because of Wenger, and Florentino's shots have always been fast and accurate, so Ronaldo soon came to Real Madrid this time.

In his previous life, Real Madrid also intervened in Ronaldo's transfer for a time, but people didn't look down on Calderón at all.

In August, Ferguson flew to Portugal to meet Mendes and told him that as long as the president of Real Madrid was still that guy, he would never be trustworthy.

Mendes agreed, so he chose to stay at Manchester United.

Many people think that Ronaldo was signed by Calderon, but Yang Hao has always felt very nonsensical.

Because at that time, in the entire European football world, few people looked down on Calderón at all, even an agent like Mendes couldn't look down on him, and his ability was really too much worse.

And now, as soon as Florentino made a move, he directly disarmed Manchester United.

The market price of 45 million euros was directly smashed to 70 million euros, and this courage is really no one.

In Yang Hao's view, this is already the world's first sky-high price.

What? Joaquin? 80 million euros?

That's actually more because Real Madrid dug and used the release money.

You must know that the current Ronaldo and Manchester United are far from the achievements of Yang Hao in his previous life in 09, and the Portuguese is still more of an immature player, and he has already achieved fame in his previous life in 09.

But even so, it cost a full 70 million euros.

What else can you say except shouting a cow batch?

'Real Madrid are definitely going to be big this year and I've heard that they are actively preparing to make offers for several Juventus players, as well as Andrea Pirlo for AC Milan.

"What?" As soon as Xiao Hill's words fell, Yang Hao was a little stunned.

"Did they really run the money printing press?"

Otherwise, how to explain that they are so rich?

Cerezo and Little Ciel looked at each other and both laughed in unison.

"Real Madrid are really rich now, last year they earned more than 300 million euros, the first in Europe, we only have 250 million euros, and they also won a Champions League, do you think about it, how amazing is their income?"

Whether it is La Liga broadcast fees or other aspects, Real Madrid is not as good as Atletico Madrid, but the overall income is much higher than that of Atletico Madrid.

A very important reason is that the Bernabéu Stadium has a lot more money than Atletico Madrid.

In addition, Real Madrid advocates the use of superstar strategy.

This is a bit like relying on celebrity endorsements to promote the market, often getting twice the result with half the effort, and the effect is particularly fast.

Barcelona is the same now, so Barcelona are also close to catching up with Atletico this year.

And how many stars of Barcelona are as many as Atletico Madrid?

can't stand the big home of others.

Barcelona's Camp Nou earns almost twice as much as Atletico Madrid in a matchday.

How to compare?

"It's actually an old tradition at Real Madrid." Cerezo explained with a smile.

"Back then, when Cruyff's dream team swept European football, Real Madrid President Mendoza was also crazy about recruitment, and his investment exceeded 10 million in several seasons, which was 10 million in the early 90s, and smashed stars like Laudrup, Redondo, Flores and other stars, the purpose was to snipe Barcelona in every possible way."

At that time, the transfer of European football was not as convenient as it is now, and the Boseman Act had not yet been implemented, which led to the inconvenience of player mobility, so it was no longer an ordinary team to invest more than 10 million in a row in that era.

Yang Hao doesn't have the ability to calculate inflation, but it must be very bullish.

"Teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, in fact, they can't make a profit, but they are not afraid of debt, as long as they can pay it back, as long as there is no problem with the capital chain, for them, higher debt is a good thing."

Yang Hao suddenly remembered some reports he had seen in his previous life.

Real Madrid often have to pay heavy taxes if they make a profit, so every year Real Madrid has to use many methods to spend the money they earn, sometimes even using some financial skills.

The same goes for Barca.

It's just that Barcelona's clumsy management messed it all up.

"It can be seen that this year, Real Madrid is determined to fight with us to the end, win this season's La Liga, we will have five consecutive championships, in the history of Spain, only Real Madrid has won five consecutive championships." Little Ciel reminded excitedly.

This is an honor for any La Liga team.

Don't look at the current Atletico Madrid's championship is not as many as Real Madrid, but if it wins five consecutive championships, then when it comes to the dominance of La Liga, Atletico Madrid will not lose to Real Madrid.

Especially now, winning the Champions League 3 times in 5 years, who else can there be besides Atletico Madrid?

You must know that Real Madrid's five consecutive Champions League titles and La Liga's five consecutive titles are staggered.

……

The World Cup has finally come to an end.

Zidane's hammer of the century did not repeat itself, but Brazil narrowly beat France 2-1 thanks to two assists from Kaka and goals from Adriano and Ronaldinho.

Kaka was the best player of the tournament and was voted the best player in the final.

It is worth mentioning that the overall strength of this Brazilian team is better than Yang Hao's previous life.

Adriano has Adriano in the centre, Ronaldinho and Kaka behind him, and Gilberto Silva, Deco and Emerson.

The backline also has players such as McConn, Ciciño, Thiago Silva, Lucio and Aurelio, Carlos.

Among them, the current main central defender of Brazil is the Atletico Madrid combination of Lucio and Thiago Silva.

This has actually caused a lot of heated discussions.

From the perspective of the lineup, the two central defenders, the two main fullbacks, plus Deco in the midfield, Kaka and Adriano in front, almost all of Brazil's championship-winning lineup are from Atletico Madrid.

This has attracted widespread attention from the media and fans around the world, and many people even believe that Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid has cultivated a World Cup-winning squad for Brazil.

On the contrary, in Spain, there are also many Atletico Madrid players as the team, but the performance is not as good as before.

Aragonés was bent on going.

The Spanish man has privately revealed that he is tired of coaching the Spanish national team and wants to return to coach the club.

As for why he was bored, Yang Hao actually knew it in his heart.

At the end of the day, it's Raul's problem.

He wanted to take Raul, but he couldn't make up his mind.

There are all kinds of interests in the national team, intertwined, as a Spaniard, Aragonés knows very well that he has not won Raul yet, and he has been criticized so much, if he really wants to win Raul, is he still alive?

When the time comes, he will really push himself to a dead end!

Therefore, Yang Hao can also understand that in his previous life, Aragonés continued to coach Spain and made up his mind to win Raul, gambling on his entire coaching career and showing unprecedented courage.

He really has a determination to become a benevolent person if he doesn't succeed.

But now, he is clearly not ready.

For this kind of thing, Yang Hao has always been grateful and insensitive.

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.

Moreover, he didn't bother to pay attention to such a thing.

If it weren't for Aragonés' strong recommendation, Football Association President Bilal personally persuaded Cerezo and Little Hill to be lobbyists, and Yang Hao would not have been able to be a national team consultant.

In the end, even if he did, he didn't confiscate the money, but just asked the national team to reimburse the travel expenses.

Moreover, Yang Hao faintly feels that Raul's situation at Real Madrid in the new season will still be very embarrassing.

He should only be able to play a role similar to Bergkamp.

Arsene Wenger is said to want to sign Juventus' Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Yang Hao is very curious now, Real Madrid has no problem with Ibrahimovic, the key is that Ibrahimovic and Messi can't collide, and Wenger can make Sweden's tower and President Luo collide with passion?

If you really want to be able to do it, the combination of Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Joaquín is absolutely ultra-luxurious.

Well, second only to Atletico Madrid, about the same as Barcelona.

Among the final awards given by FIFA, the Ballon d'Or was won by Brazil's Kaka, Zidane won the Silver Ball, and Adriano won the Bronze Ball.

In addition, Adriano also won the Golden Boot.

Thiago Silva won the Best Newcomer award.

……

At the end of the World Cup, the results of the Serie A phonegate trial were also freshly released.

Juventus were stripped of two trophies and relegated from the penalty and will be deducted nine league points for the new season.

AC Milan retained their Serie A qualification, but eight league points were deducted for the new season.

At this point, the Serie A phonegate incident has temporarily settled.

After Juventus confirmed its relegation, the major giants who have been waiting and seeing, and are also maintaining communication with the players, have taken action.

Real Madrid rushed to sign Sweden's high tower Ibrahimovic from Juventus for 25 million euros.

22-year-old defender Chiellini was signed from Juventus for 10 million euros.

The two players spent 35 million euros on Real Madrid, plus Cristiano Ronaldo's 70 million euros, and Real Madrid's transfer fee exceeded 100 million again this summer.

After signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid sold Dutch centre-forward Ruud van Nistelrooy to Deportivo La Coruna for a transfer fee of 15 million euros.

After switching to Deschamps, the Dutch center forward was dissatisfied with Real Madrid's abandonment of Ronaldo after signing Ronaldo, and threatened to prove himself at the Bernabeu Stadium in the new season!

For this, he even took a pay cut to 4 million euros before he was able to move to Deportivo La Coruna.

Juventus midfielder Emerson, who has just helped Brazil win the World Cup, transferred to Inter Milan for 16 million euros, which is also a key move for Inter Milan to strengthen the team's midfield.

Zambrotta and Thuram are moving from Juventus to Barcelona for a package price of 20 million euros.

When the penalty was awarded, overnight, the Bianconeri, with a huge lineup, completely fell apart.

Everyone in the world is well aware that the small World Cup of yesteryear has completely declined.

In Yang Hao's previous life, he always felt that the phonegate incident was the beginning of the decline of the small World Cup.

But now, he truly realizes that the phonegate incident was the last straw that crushed the mini-World Cup.

From now on, there will be no Serie A in European football with a mini-World Cup.

The future of world football will be a two-man battle between La Liga and the Premier League!

Manchester United intervened early in the dismantling of Juventus, but came to nothing.

In particular, the transfer of Thuram and Zambrotta to Barcelona disappointed Ferguson.

On the other hand, Ronaldo officially transferred to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 70 million euros, which made Manchester United's new season a major blow.

Looking at the current European football, who can replace Cristiano Ronaldo's place at Manchester United?

The Sun revealed that Ferguson has made it clear that David Gill must sign either Robben or Ribery in any case, otherwise he will announce his retirement!

This was clearly already Ferguson's ultimatum.

"The decision to sell Ronaldo completely angered Ferguson."

And Manchester United's first consideration is to shine in the World Cup, perform very well, and is known as the leader of France's new generation after Zidane, Frank Ribery.

But Atletico have made it clear that Ribery is not for sale and refuses to sell.

In addition, Inter Milan are also concerned about the 33-year-old age of right-back Zanetti and want to sign Atletico Madrid's right wing-back McConn, but Atletico Madrid also did not hesitate to reject the offer.

"Moratti is ambitious to fill the last gap in Inter's squad and make the Nerazzurri form the devil's wing of the Brazilian national team, which is the combination of Aurelio and McConn!"

In addition to this, Inter Milan also wanted to sign Italy's international Gianluigi Buffon and made an offer of up to 35 million euros, but both Juventus and Buffon rejected Inter.

Buffon also rejected an offer from Chelsea.

According to journalists close to Buffon, the Italian international will only consider staying at Juventus or moving to AC Milan.

But at the moment, AC Milan have not been able to pay a transfer fee of 35 million euros to buy Buffon.

After Shevchenko's transfer to Chelsea for 45 million euros, the first thing AC Milan needed to solve was the team's forward problem, spending 15 million euros to sign Ricardo Oliveira from Real Betis, Ronaldo from Real Madrid for 8 million euros, Oddos from Lazio for 8 million euros, and Gourcuff from Ligue 1 for 5 million euros......

Then, AC Milan ran out of money.

Buffon said: I'm so devastated......

……

'Ribery told me he wanted us to seriously consider the offers from Manchester United and Bayern.

Still in Calderón's chairman's office, Yang Hao confronted Cerezo, Hill Jr. and the heads of departments about the recent progress in the transfer market.

The new season is about to start, and everyone needs to know Yang Hao's plans for the new season.

The transfer market is changing quickly and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.

It's as if Alex Ferguson was complaining that he was suddenly without Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Yang Hao found that they all seemed to have forgotten one thing.

In the current European football, there are not many good wingers.

Reyes is at Chelsea, Joaquín is at Real Madrid, and Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben are at Atletico.

The problem now is that with Messi's rise, both Ribery and Robben's positions have been shaken.

Judging from the performance, the two can leave anyone, Robben is very sharp on the left, and Ribery is the type with the ball.

But David Silva can fill the void at Franck Franck Ribery.

Don't forget, the Spanish midfielder is also a full-fielder, and he is a winger at the World Youth Championships, and he is not slow.

And, with Ribery shining at the World Cup, he is no longer content with being a substitute.

He wants to go to a team that can prove his worth better.

"Tell Manchester United that Ribery is no worse than Cristiano Ronaldo!"

After a pause, Yang Hao looked at Bayern's offer to Ribery and threw it aside.

What's special, only 40 million euros dare to offer?

This is a big red star in the World Cup, and we have also proved our strength in Atletico Madrid, do you really think that Atletico Madrid is your Bayern's backyard?

Those teams in the Bundesliga are used to it, we are not used to it, take care of you more, and I will lose!

"Understood." Little Ciel nodded in agreement.

"Then we use Bayern to arch a fire?" Andrew Barrasco proposed.

Everyone thought it was good.

'Manchester United have missed out on the league title for two seasons in a row and now they have lost Cristiano Ronaldo, and if Ferguson doesn't want Chelsea to continue to win the title or be replaced by Liverpool, then he has no choice.

"What about our team's lineup?" Little Hill asked with concern.

Now, the team's new stadium is expected to be completed in a year, and for now, long-term low-interest loans from banks can make up for the shortfall, but it can also be a huge relief if one or two stars can be sold.

'We also have Di Maria, we have Suarez, he can also play on the wing, there will be no problem.

Everyone nodded.

"Also, tell Inter Milan that if it is less than that, don't quote it again." Yang Hao compared four fingers.

He meant, 40 million euros.

This is Yang Hao's positioning of Maikong.

That's a lot of money for a full-back.

Judging from some games last season, Yang Hao recognized McConn's strength, and he was indeed strong, but from the perspective of ball style coordination, Alves will be more in tune with the team, especially with Messi.

The most important thing is that the small skills of the two can be coordinated.

Purely from the point of view of strength, the two of them are half a catty and eight taels, and they are not equal.

……

One after another, the heads of the departments left.

Yang Hao was thinking over there, taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time, he would quickly go out for a walk around and take a few days off, otherwise, he would have to take a break if he wanted to go back to the beginning of the new season.

But where to go?

It's best to be able to have two people.

Speaking of which, the process of his acquaintance with Blake Lively is also quite interesting.

At that time, she came over to say hello, and Yang Hao recognized her immediately.

He really hadn't seen her movies and American dramas in his previous life, but he had seen the kind of photos of her talking in one step, well, her figure was really top.

And then we chatted like that.

When he saw a real person, Yang Hao thought she looked good when she smiled, and at the age of 18, she had a little innocence.

How so?

The appearance is very attractive, and the body is very hot, but with the innocence of a girl......

"Yang, although we all hope that you can win 5 consecutive La Liga titles, we also all know that Real Madrid's squad is really too strong now, and there is a lot of pressure on us, so ......"

Little Hill suddenly came to say this without a beginning and an end.

Yang Hao was a little strange, "What do you mean?" ”

"You don't have to be stressed."

"I'm not stressed."

Now it was Cerezo and Little Hill's turn to be stunned, "You were frowning over there just now, thinking about things, you ......"

Everyone thought he had a headache.

Because Real Madrid's current squad is really top.

Arsene Wenger is another world-class manager, and this combination does make everyone feel a lot of pressure.

"I'm thinking, there's still time to take a few days off and take a vacation."

Cerezo and Little Ciel were both laughing and crying.

Thanks to them, they still wanted to comfort Yang Hao, but the result was ...... He actually ......

"I really can't bear it now, Yang, I have to say, he's only 18 years old, and he's still a child......"

Little Hill said with a sad and indignant face, why did all the good things come to him?

"You're in your thirties."

"In your early thirties, not many." Yang Hao corrected.

"That's also in your thirties."

"Say it again, I'll beat you!" Yang Hao clenched his fists and said "intimidating".

After a bit of banter, all three of them got back to business.

"For Real Madrid, the squad is really strong now, but it's not so strong that it makes us feel intimidated."

When Yang Hao said this, he analyzed it.

"Arsene Wenger signed Chiellini, and I heard that he still wants to sign Kompany from Sevilla, so I'll tell you that this old boy has become a habit and addicted to developing young players in the past few years."

"It's just that in the past, they used to train those mid-range goods of three or five million euros, but now? All of them are staring at those high-end goods that cost tens of millions, or even one or two million. ”

is also a young player, and there are also three, six, nine and so on.

For example, Ramos and Pavon take it out, and everyone knows who is more valuable.

There are many things that can't fool people.

As long as you go on the pitch and shine on the pitch, you can generally see the level of strength and talent.

Arsene Wenger is at Arsenal, and he has signed the likes of Sigan and Senderos, but what about coming to Real Madrid?

The signings are all Chiellini and Kompany, and the level is obviously two or three steps up.

"There are no big problems at the back and up front, Arsene Wenger should continue to promote some of Real Madrid's young players in the new season, which is good for the long-term development of the Galaxy, but they have a problem."

Without waiting for Cerezo and Little Hill to ask, Yang Hao gave his own answer.

'The midfield is weak in organisation and creativity, and if we can sign Andrea Pirlo, it will be solved, but then Vieira will not be able to deal with this position.

As it stands, AC Milan are not looking to sell Andrea Pirlo.

Then the problem is obvious, the new season Real Madrid midfield is more than strong, lack of delicacy, weak organization and creativity.

When the time comes, there will only be two more side paths.

With Arsene Wenger's coaching level, I believe that Real Madrid's performance will not be bad, but how it performs in the strong dialogue will not be known until the game.

Of course, what Yang Hao is talking about is a contest between top teams, such as the Madrid derby.

With Real Madrid's lineup, other teams, except for Barcelona, are basically crushed.

Barcelona signed Thuram and Zambrotta, okay?

Yang Hao thinks it's good, but the arrival of these two players will further dilute Barcelona's passing and possession color.

This is actually quite a contradictory thing.

Barcelona have a soft underbelly at the back, everyone knows it.

But in the current European football, where to find a central defender and defender who can adapt to the pass-and-possession system and have excellent defensive ability?

Yes, right wing-back Alves at Atletico.

McCone is not strictly a playmaker and is not a playmaker, he is more of a direct attacker.

In this case, after Zambrotta and Thuram came, the defense must be solid, but Barcelona's passing and possession will also be diluted, which is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.

It can only be said that there are gains and losses.

"Now, Serie A is in decline, the Premier League is the only competitor in La Liga, and from the situation this summer, we, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all taken on the role of La Liga leaders very well, and the more fierce the competition, the better."

"And La Liga has won five consecutive championships, and I will definitely do my best." Yang Hao said to the end, smiling confidently.

One of his most frequent words in the Atletico team is: you just have to make money, and I will do everything in football!

"Oh, by the way, yesterday, the president of the Football Association, Bilal, called me."

Cerezo suddenly remembered something.

"What for?" Yang Hao was a little strange.

"What if you were to be the head coach of the Spanish national team, he asked?"

When Yang Hao heard this, his whole person almost jumped up, "Who said that?" Let him get the hell out of here! ”

Neither Cerezo nor Little Hill expected that Yang Hao's reaction would be so big.

"I don't know, he just asks." Cerezo explained.

"Needless to say, I guess it's the old fellow of Aragonés." Yang Hao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Cerezo and Little Ciel both looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Yang Hao immediately said the matter briefly and concisely.

In general, he and Aragonés agreed that Spain had to win Raul if they wanted to make a difference.

But the problem now is that Raul's contribution to Spain over the years has been so great that no one dares to make this decision, including Football Federation President Bilal.

Whoever dares to do this is the sinner of Spanish football!

Unless, he can lead the Spanish national team to the championship!

But the problem is, don't say that Aragonés himself has no bottom in his heart, Yang Hao has crossed over, the world has changed, and he has no bottom in his heart.

He is now taking a good position with Atletico Madrid, what is he doing as a part-time coach of the Spanish national team?

"It must be Aragonés, that bastard himself didn't dare to do such an offending thing, so he pushed the matter on me."

Yang Hao was actually thinking in his heart that Spain is also doing very well now, that is, to do something that offends people, and the overall strength is really strong.

However, let's not say that he can't take it, even if he really wants to take it, he can't just put it on casually, right?

It seems that we are very cheap!

As for the Spanish Football Federation, love thinks and thinks, labor and management don't care.

The current Yang Hao has such confidence and prestige.

He is now very sure that Aragonés in his previous life must have been forced to be in a hurry, so he made up his mind.

At that time, he took Raul, and he really became a public enemy of the whole people.

If he hadn't won the championship later, he would have been abolished a long time ago.

So, now, he can push it, but he won't do it anyway, and he will push Yang Hao to the front.

It's so unrighteous!

"Don't stop any of you, I'll kill him!"

Saying that, Yang Hao also went out aggressively.

Cerezo and Little Hill looked at each other.

"Michelle, you hurry up and follow, that old man is very good, Yang Hao touches him, he directly 'dies' on the ground, and Yang Hao will get into trouble." Cerezo reminded.

Little Hill felt it made sense and hurriedly chased after him.

……

An hour later, outside the old sports city of Real Madrid, in a barbecue restaurant where the king likes to taste, Yang Hao was fiercely treating the barbecue in front of him as Aragonés and eating it in a big gulp.

Outside, Real Madrid's old sports city has been razed to the ground.

I heard that the approval of the four skyscrapers here has also been completed and is in full swing to be built.

"I'm going to coach Real Mallorca." Aragonés told Yang Hao about his decision.

"What?"

Yang Hao looked at Aragonés in disbelief, with a look of [Are you serious? That kind of expression.

"To be honest, you're not Spanish, so you don't know how hard it is to do this."

Speaking of this, Aragonés let out another long sigh.

"Over the years, Spain has been supported by Raul, who is the flag, the core and the spiritual leader of our team, from '98 to the present, and he has a very, very special meaning for us."

Speaking of this, Aragonés also let out a long sigh.

"You also saw it, I just asked him to substitute, and it was already like this outside, they almost ate me, you say, do I dare to do this?" Aragonés asked.

Yang Hao wanted to say: Old man, be brave, don't be modest, you dare!

"Didn't you say that before? Monks from outside are good at chanting, and it's hard for me to do it, but it's easy for you to do it. ”

"Fart!" Yang Hao refuted, "I am the head coach of Atletico Madrid, and I will kill the captain of Real Madrid as soon as I take office, do you want me to die?" ”

Aragonés couldn't help laughing, "I'm also a famous man at Atletico Madrid, it's dangerous for me to do this kind of thing, and I'm old." ”

"That's none of the business with me."

"Okay, don't pretend in front of me, you told me before that this team has the strength to win the championship, I don't believe it, will you not be tempted?"

"It's not the same thing to have the quality to win the championship and whether I can win it, and if I want to coach the national team, it's too early." Yang Hao said with certainty.

At his current age, it's really too early to coach the national team.

Of course, Aragonés knew, "I'm 68 years old now, and after so many years of hard work, you asked me to gamble on this, and frankly, I was hesitant. ”

It's not just him, it's the same for everyone.

"You're different, you're a foreigner, and a lot of things are more convenient than me, in addition, your team is ready-made, and you are familiar with and know the players, and many of them are still cultivated by you."

"I know what you're worried about, but I do think you have a better chance of winning than I do, because I'm not sure."

At the end, Aragonés himself couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"In the past few years, Atletico Madrid has performed so well, but the national team I brought out, with Atletico Madrid as the team, has played like this, to be honest, I can't stand it anymore."

Yang Hao was silent.

He had a vague feeling.

Atletico's strength is actually indirectly putting pressure on him.

Because the same group of people, who performed so well at club at Atletico Madrid, and played like this when they came to the national team, Aragonés must be under pressure.

And taking Raul requires him to gamble on the reputation of his life, so he is naturally cautious.

The reason why he carried it hard in his previous life was because he couldn't meet someone like Yang Hao, but now that he has Yang Hao, he feels that Yang Hao is more suitable than himself to gamble.

"Trust me, Yang, you can do it!"

After a pause, Aragonés added: "In the past few years, although everyone said that we were a strong team, the last time we won a major tournament was in 1964, and that was the only time we won a major tournament, the European Cup! ”

"It's been more than 40 years, and I'm still playing football back then, but now?"

Aragonés let out a long sigh of helplessness again.

Time flies really fast.

"Yang, I really think that if someone can lead this team to win the championship, then this person must be you, not me!" Aragonés said very frankly.

Yang Hao was silent.

He decided to keep eating.

……

As the new season approaches, the peak of the transfer market is gradually calming down.

The biggest news in the European transfer market this summer is of course the disintegration of Juventus and the decline of the Serie A mini-World Cup, but the rise of La Liga has also become a more obvious trend.

La Liga has gradually shown its purchasing power last season, and this summer it has clearly gone one step further.

Like Villarreal, for example.

After finishing runners-up in the Champions League last season, 50 million euros have been spent in the transfer market this summer, which is the highest transfer fee ever for Villarreal.

Among them is the transfer of the likes of Sergio Aguero, which exceeded 20 million euros, which is simply a surprise.

And the signing of Carney from Zaragoza is a direct use of the release clause with deep pockets.

After Zaragoza sent Carney away, they also did not hide it, and in a turn of the moment, they signed Argentine talent Aimar from Valencia for 11 million euros, and then signed Gabi from Atletico Madrid for 5 million euros.

Add to that players such as Juanfran, Da Lijandro and Sergio, and Zaragoza's investment is just as expensive.

Deportivo La Coruna spent more than €20 million during last year's winter break and again this summer, signing Ruud van Nistelrooy for a whopping €15 million.

The transfer market in European football has been very sluggish this summer.

In the eyes of many people, the World Cup year is a big year, but there has never been a gratifying prosperity.

With 11 million euros, Aimar has already entered the top 20 of the transfer market.

After Valencia sold Aimar, they signed youngster Anderson from Porto for a transfer fee of 13 million euros and teenager Nani from Sporting Lisbon for 12 million euros.

Both of these transfer deals were the introduction of young players.

Anderson is hailed as the new Ronaldinho, while Nani is hailed as the new Ronaldo.

The two youngsters are talented, but they are not cheap, and Valencia has made up her mind this time to sign it.

There are also 7.5 million euros for Del Orno, 5 million euros for Morientes, etc.

Valencia has invested more than 40 million euros in the transfer market, and even after deducting Aimar's transfer income, the net investment has reached more than 30 million euros.

In addition to the previous champion group, some of the relegation teams at the bottom of the ranking are also investing.

Real Betis, for example, after selling Oliveira for 15 million euros, turned around and signed Sorbiz for 11 million euros and Odonko from Borussia Dortmund for 6.5 million euros.

The net investment this summer also exceeded 10 million.

Racing Santander, which ranked 17th last season and was in danger of relegation, has also increased its reinforcements this season, signing Zhikic for 4.5 million euros, coupled with the free introduction of a group of players such as Munitis, the overall strength of Racing Santander has also been greatly improved.

On the whole, the purchasing power of the middle and lower teams in La Liga is still not as good as that of the Premier League.

A very important reason is that the foundation is too thin.

Even now, most of these teams in La Liga are still in debt, which causes them to have to save money, but in order to relegation, many teams have to squeeze out some transfer fees to bring in reinforcements.

So even if it is a team fighting for relegation, the basic investment is around 5 million euros.

This is slightly inferior to the Premier League.

But if you get to the top team in front, the overall purchasing power of La Liga is already relatively strong.

Sevilla's 4-0 thrashing of Middlesbrough in last season's UEFA Cup proved that La Liga teams are much higher than their Premier League counterparts.

In addition to the three giants of the Spanish Super League, teams such as Valencia, Villarreal, Deportivo La Coruna, Sevilla and Zaragoza are not weak in the overall squad at present, which makes the new season of La Liga more intense.

From the perspective of the overall strength distribution, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona are undoubtedly super first-class, but these teams below are basically very competitive in European football.

For example, Villarreal knocked a number of giants last season, and the overall strength has improved significantly this season.

But alas, they have to go to the League Cup.

For example, Deportivo La Coruna, who invested heavily during the winter break at the beginning of the year, signed a strong scorer like Ruud van Nistelrooy this summer, and a coach like Didier Deschamps is bound to take the overall competitiveness to a new level, further intensifying the competition among the teams in front of the league.

Almost everyone is sure that La Liga will be more intense in the new season.

……

This year, Atletico will continue to train in the United States, where they will also compete in the pre-season of La Liga and the subsequent Spanish Super Cup.

Just as Atletico's training camp was about to start, Real Madrid announced another transfer.

From Sevilla, he signed Belgian centre-back Vincent Kompany for a transfer fee of 15 million euros.

It is said that Wenger originally wanted Kompany and Chiellini to choose between the two, but he didn't expect Florentino to give him a round directly.

Woodgate also announced his return to the Premier League on the same day to join Middlesbrough.

And Inter Milan, who took the lead and couldn't bear the pressure, finally made a compromise and agreed to Atletico Madrid's asking price, signing Brazilian right defender McCone from Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of 40 million euros.

Manchester United, on the other hand, David Gill came to Madrid twice in a row to negotiate, but both came to naught.

Atletico have repeatedly insisted that it must be 70 million euros.

Although Ribery once publicly stated that he hoped to go to the Premier League and join Manchester United, Yang Hao was still unmoved.

He even told David Gill, "If I keep him, I will be sure to control him, but if it doesn't work, I will let him sit on the bench for a season, big deal, and sell it cheaper next year!" ”

"But this summer, it has to be this price!"

Ferguson was indeed helpless.

There are only a few good wingers, and Robben will only be more expensive.

After thinking about it, he let David Gill make up his own mind.

In the end, the day before Atletico's training camp began, Manchester United finally made a compromise and signed Franck Ribery for a transfer fee of 70 million euros.

The wingman, who shone in the World Cup and helped France reach the final, made a smooth move to Manchester United.

The Frenchman, along with Cristiano Ronaldo, is tied for the transfer bid king this summer!

After Atletico Madrid sold McConn, they signed Argentine right defender Pablo Zabaleta from Espanyol for a transfer fee of 5 million euros.

Yang Hao is well aware that Zabaleta is not as good as McConn, but the main force in the new season is Daniel Alves, and Zabaleta is a trustworthy substitute.

At this point, Atletico Madrid completely closed the transfer door.

The Sheets net a transfer fee of 1 small goal.

To be honest, I don't think Wenger is not in control of the current Real Madrid, and you can refer to the scene when Wenger first took over Arsenal, which was the most reflective of Wenger's control of the dressing room. Don't think Wenger is too soft just because he sold the captain in the next few years, in fact, this guy is also a ruthless character, the kind that kills people without a knife...... Kneel and beg for a monthly pass! Thanks!!
