The European transfer market in January 2008 was bustling.

In fact, compared to last year's winter transfer market, there are fewer explosive transfers this year.

In last year's winter transfer period, the transfer of stars such as Ronaldo and Beckham set off a high level of European football.

And this winter, teams have opted for more utilitarian stars.

Anelka, who moved to Chelsea for 20 million euros, has become the "standard king" this winter, and he is also the biggest star among them, but the French striker has been mixed with small and medium-sized clubs such as Bolton, Manchester City and Fenerbahce in recent years, and has long since lost the spirit of his transfer to Real Madrid for 35 million euros eight and a half years ago.

Of course, if it weren't for Anelka's recent form, the 'Bid King' would have been won by a newcomer as before, as the second-ranked Banega has a transfer fee of 18 million euros, and the Argentine midfielder, who is not yet 20 years old, joined Valencia from Boca Juniors.

The Premier League, which has the best economic situation, has spent a total of hundreds of millions of yuan in transfer funds this summer, and various teams have strengthened one after another, especially the teams with European competitions, hoping to win something in the European battlefield.

La Liga's powerhouses have not made much moves, especially Real Madrid, which has always spent money like water. They bought youngsters Gago, Gonzalo Higuain and Marcelo in succession last winter, and only a few players were promoted from the youth team this winter.

Barcelona is also very quiet. Except for Brasilia, which has just changed its manager, two strong reinforcements have been introduced, the rest of the La Liga teams are very quiet.

The Serie A and Ligue 1 teams have not made much movement this winter, and it seems that they are still relatively satisfied with their respective lineups.

On the Bundesliga side, the richest is Bayern Munich, who once again spent a lot of money this winter to continue to recruit them. They signed 18-year-old centre-back Breno from Brazil for a total of 18 million euros. Although there was only one such deal, they still won the Bundesliga.

Schalke 04, Bremen, Hamburg, Wolfsburg and other Bundesliga powerhouses have also invested, they do not spend much, but the strength of the new signings is very good.

This winter, there are also many cases of Asian players traveling to Europe.

Last winter, Chinese players set off a wave of travel to Europe - Zheng Zhi joined Charlton Athletic in the English Premier League on loan, successfully landed in Eindhoven in the Eredivisie and played in the Champions League, Yu Dabao became a member of the Portuguese Super League giants Benfica, this winter, there is no news of Chinese players transferring to Europe. Despite this, the performance of Yunsheng and Ketbus has brought a lot of warmth to Chinese football in the cold winter.

South Korea, China's immediate neighbour, has not seen much movement, but Japanese players are still favoured by many clubs in Europe.

Makoto Hasebe and Shinji Ono have written a new chapter in the history of Japanese football, as the two Japanese national team midfielders joined Wolfsburg and Bochum in the Bundesliga from Urawa Ruby respectively.

In addition, Akiki Mizuno, the main player of the Japanese Olympic team, also signed a contract with Celtic in the Soviet Super League in January, and he became teammates in a foreign country with Shunsuke Nakamura, the leader of Japan's "Overseas Corps".

Someone comes, someone leaves.

Japanese players have traveled to Europe, but some have returned home in disgrace.

Eintracht Frankfurt striker Naotai Takahara was dropped by the club and moved back to Urawa Ruby in the country this winter.

After playing Cottage Cottage in the eighth round of the Bundesliga, Naotai Takahara completely fell out of favor at the club, and his poor performance in that game made Eintracht Frankfurt coach Von Kel completely disappointed him, and finally the Japanese striker had no choice but to return to China to play and lose the opportunity to travel to Europe.

In addition to Naotai Takahara, there is another player whose transfer has a lot to do with Yunsheng.

That's Mesut Ozil.

After Schalke 04 and Cottagebs, Mesut Ozil was hit by Adriano's free-kick and recuperated from a long-term injury, only to find that his main position was gone.

Schalke 04 coach Sloanka has always been unhappy with him and took this opportunity to hide him.

In this way, Ozil, who did not want to renew his contract with Schalke 04, just took this opportunity to propose a transfer and finally transferred to Bremen.

But how did he not think that even if he went to Bremen, his nightmare would not end......

Overall, the European transfer market has been relatively lively this winter.

The outside world is disturbed, but Yunsheng still works and lives as usual.

During the more than half a month he spent at Cottages, Yunsheng went to the office almost every day, flipping through countless game videos and player profiles.

Although he has already won the Bundesliga halfway championship, he knows very well in his heart that this championship does have a lot of luck and the blessing of charms. In terms of on-the-spot command, squad arrangement, and team management, he is still far from a real top coach, and he still needs to continue to work hard.

There was no competition during this time, so I seized the opportunity to improve and enrich myself.

Time passed slowly, and there was not much left of the winter break.

The start of the second half of the Bundesliga season is February 2, that is, after the winter transfer window closes, many teams have resumed normal training a week in advance to prepare for the game.

However, Ivbus was different, as their players returned to the club two weeks early to start training with them.

Because on January 27, Ivbus will face the quarter-finals of the German Cup, so the players need to return to the squad early and start training in advance.

Despite the early return and reduced holidays, the players did not complain. After all, being able to go further in the German Cup is something that everyone would love to see.

Seeing the players return to the team, Yunsheng was happy and worried.

I'm happy to be able to play with everyone again, but I'm worried that the players' form has declined more seriously.

It's not just a problem for Cottages, it's a problem for many German teams.

After a break of nearly a month, the players' physical condition and game feeling cannot be compared with the first half, so after the winter break in the Bundesliga in previous years, there are often situations where strong teams are overturned by weak teams.

Despite this, Yunsheng can't add the training intensity all at once, which will increase the risk of injury to the players, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Seeing the situation of the players on the training ground, although Yun Sheng was anxious, there was no better way.

After all, if you want to hurry, you can't get there.

Fortunately, the opponents in this cup match are not strong teams such as Bayern, Hamburg, and Bremen, otherwise Yun Shengke would really want to cry without tears.

When Yunsheng was very depressed, the system sent him a good news in time.

[Because you led the team to win the first half of the Bundesliga, in order to reward you for your outstanding results, the system will give you a "Winter Break Charm Gift Pack" as a token of encouragement.] 】

Yunsheng was overjoyed!

There is such a good thing!
