Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly

With the end of the European Cup, the "purchasing" of major European teams has really begun.

Unlike Pan Yi's current "little fight", the transfer market that summer could be said to be extremely hot.

"Set a small goal first, for example, if he wants to reach 100 million," Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, said in an interview, the world football world has also rejected a "small goal."

110 million euros! Pogba's transfer officially announced that football has entered the 100 million era! The arms race and the four-year European Cup are the main reasons for the hot market.

As a benchmark for measuring the activity of the transfer market, the Premier League's performance next summer can be said to be a blast.

According to statistics, 13 of the 20 Premier League teams have broken the team's signing record!

Next summer, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton, many traditional and powerful coaches in the Premier League will change. Mourinho, Guardiola and other famous coaches have set off an arms race as soon as they take office.

Mourinho successively brought Bailly, Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan and Pogba to the Red Devils, while Guardiola signed Gundogan, Nolito, Stones and Sawai.

Waiting for famous generals.

Even Wenger, who has always been conservative, showed a rare act of generosity in the excitement of being surrounded by strong enemies. He successively spent 100 million yuan to chase Xhaka, Perez, Mustafi and many other strong players——

Some of those people disagreed with what Pan Yi recommended to him before.

In the dark horse of the season, Leicester City, which has reached the Champions League group stage for the first time in team history, hopes to go one step further. In addition to introducing Algerian forward Slimani from the Portuguese Super League for a record price of 30 million pounds, goalkeeper

Di, Musa, etc. are expensive per person.

There is also whether Chelsea, coached by Arteta, can maintain stability, there is not much news for the time being.

Of course, it is not because the current atmosphere of the team is good, and the honor brought by the seven championships also makes the current players feel satisfied and unwilling to switch to another team at that time.

But even without a "big dog" like Chelsea, the other 19 Premier League teams have invested more than 1.4 billion euros in the transfer market next summer! That number is terrifying.

In addition to the Premier League, the arms race in Serie A next summer is also fierce. Affected by the two-pound transfers of Pogba and Higuain, as well as Suning's entry into Inter Milan, there has been a rare large-scale investment in recent years.

Bundesliga, La Liga will become the second highest league.

Juventus and Inter Milan spent 162 million euros and 113 million euros respectively. Roma also spent 98.1 million euros on purchases, ranking third. Naples ranked fourth with 73.5 million euros.

.

It means that AC Milan has always been short of money...At this time, "Society Brother Li" has not officially completed the equity acquisition of AC Milan.

As the leader of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich finalized the two most requested signings during the European Cup, Hummels and Renato Sanches, which really made them famous.

La Liga duo Real Madrid and Barcelona are in completely opposite situations. The Galacticos focus on stability and have done little except taking back Asensio. Barcelona spent 120 million to recruit 6 major reinforcements such as Paco and Gomez.

The budget is not as tight as outsiders speculate.

It is worth mentioning that the English Championship, as a second-tier league, ranks fifth in the league buying list, which is higher than Ligue 1, one of the five major European leagues.

The first place, the Premier League, has 1.4 billion euros, the second place, Serie A, 699 million euros, the third place, Bundesliga, 543 million euros, the fourth place, La Liga, 458 million euros, and the fifth place, the English Championship, 244 million euros!

The first and fifth places also reflect the current strong appeal and money-burning ability of the Premier League.

Not only because of the huge allure of the Premier League, the competition for promotion among the English Championship teams is also very fierce, and this has also resulted in each team's huge investment in signings.

As the second-tier league in England, the English Championship has a very strong performance on the purchasing side. For example, Newcastle was relegated to the English Championship after the end of last season, and that team also hopes to win in the English Championship in the new season with its outstanding performance.

Due to their performance, they qualified for promotion, so the team spent 64 million euros on players, becoming the team that spent the most on players in the English Championship.

Of course, in addition to the intensifying arms race among various leagues, there is no doubt that the four-yearly European Cup is also an economic benchmark and the best stage for players from all over the world to get gold.

In that football feast that attracted much attention, even if I was a little-known player before, I had to perform well enough when I attended that game. It was completely possible for me to perform a successful "grassroots" game.

Appreciation season", and next summer's European Cup in France is no exception.

It is undeniable that the European Cup has indeed spawned many transfers, causing the value of many players to skyrocket, such as Batshuayi, Stones, Andre Gomez, Joao Mario, etc.

Before the European Cup, the fans' impression of the Belgian Batshuayi was more of a "rumored super star". However, after finishing his trip to France with the European Red Devils, his worth has increased significantly.

Price of 40 million euros.

Andre Gomez and Joao Mario, the two heroes who helped Portugal reach the final, even "jumped over the dragon gate" and married into two giants, Barcelona and Inter Milan.

Even French midfielder Sissoko, a player from a relegated Premier League team who was not a main force in the European Cup, was sold for a high price of 35 million euros.

In comparison, players from the champion Swedish team received a mediocre response from the market.

Except for Kulusevski, who was taken over by Pan Yi early, most teams have good Swedish players and are in a wait-and-see mode.

Captain Ibrahimovic is well-known and has signed with Manchester United early. Of course, no one will ask for trouble again.

Since Forsberg has only been playing for Red Bull Leipzig for half a season, he himself is not willing to move, and the team is not willing to let him go.

Liverpool are actually interested in the midfielder who performed well in the European Cup, but Leipzig Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff said: "Forsberg has performed very well this season and he is a player that the team is looking for again, and

It will always be like this.”

Leipzig Red Bull coach Rangnick also said: "If they let Forsberg go like that, it would almost be an insult to their intelligence. They will not let their star player leave."

Forsberg himself, who declared that Liverpool was the most ruthless, said: "He knows the interest from Liverpool, but at the moment he has no other ideas. He is in Leipzig and will play in the Bundesliga with Red Bull Leipzig."

And Swedish defense general Lindelof, who is in the center of the field, has also been favored by Manchester United. However, Mourinho has no idea of ​​​​bringing him to Old Trafford, but expressed his desire.

Observe for a while.

Including Isaac, the youngest main player of the Swedish team, he was also spotted by Dortmund, the famous "star training camp", but he was not in a hurry to make a move.

On the one hand, the club errs on the side of caution from players who perform well in major competitions.

After all, although "big tests" like the World Cup and the European Cup do have the ability to help players' worth rise, competitions have never been a "double-edged sword" when it comes to players' worth.

We have indeed witnessed many "grassroots" successes in appreciation, but who can guarantee that it is not a flash in the pan?

On the other hand, this does not mean that the major European clubs are wrong in Pan Yi's affirmation!

Everyone believes that the Swedish team can pull off a big upset and win the European Cup, and almost all the credit goes to head coach Pan Yi.

The ability of the Swedish players themselves is actually average, but it is because of Pan Yi's superb tactics that perfectly blended the Swedish players together to play football that surpasses many European giants.

That was actually a bit similar to when the Greek team won the championship in 2004.

The public also generally believed that the Greek team could win the championship that year, and they also asked whether the head coach had the role of Rehagel, known as "Emperor Otto".

He first achieved the "Miracle of Kaiserslautern" in the Bundesliga, and then he achieved "Greek mythology". It can be said that he is full of legends.

But among that group of Greek players, none of them truly became super giants through that European Cup, and even the threshold of "star" was difficult to cross.

Perhaps the only one who has played for Inter Milan is Calagonis? But in fact, he has not been the main force in Inter Milan for two seasons. He is mainly seeking to break out, otherwise he will not leave the team soon.

The Portuguese Super League.

Moreover, after playing in the European Cup, he did not go to any bigger team. Instead, he first played in Benfica and then returned to China to join Panathinaikos.

Charisteas, Greece's main striker, was a substitute striker for Werder Bremen before the European Cup.

After scoring a key goal in the European Cup final to help Greece win the European Championship, and making him an out-and-out national hero in Greece, he has indeed upgraded his career and become...

Ajax's backup striker! Well, does that count as a successful upgrade?

In other words, if I ask a senior fan to tell you about the main lineup of the French team that won the European Cup in 2000, or the lineup of the Spanish team in 2008, he can probably tell you about it;

But if you ask him to name the 2004 Greek team's final lineup, he will probably say: "There are a lot of 's's anyway!"

Does that mean how dim the Greek team’s star quality is?

That time it was wrong for the players of the Swedish team, who also won the championship in an upset, and most people didn't think so either.

Except for a few players who are not stars in the first place (such as Ibrahimovic), it is difficult for many people to dare to spend real money to buy Swedish players who look very "civilian".

In a word: This is not the success of Pan Yi, but not the success of the Swedish players!

——

For Pan Yi, of course he will not chase famous stars like those big teams, but he will also try his best to get some "future stars".

The "Three Musketeers" of the Swedish national team, two old and one new, are certainly not the same as York City, which is determined to rush directly to the British Championship.

Of course, now that Pan Yi is looking for someone in the transfer market, his mood is very different from before.

In the past, when he was a coach of other teams, he would poach people, and the main reason would be the team's performance. As for the money he earned, it belonged to the club.

Now as the boss of York City, Pan Yi's job of poaching people is more like buying "financial management" products for himself, which is basically a business that makes a profit without losing money!

Therefore, Pan Yi, who was quite ambitious at first, attacked a "high-end product" first.

Then there is the future core midfielder of Arsenal who is "all in vain except Odegaard"!

The reason for looking for Odegaard is because York City already has Karlström and Kulusevski in the midfield. If there is another Odegaard, at least the attacking power in the midfield will not be needed.

Sad.

At this time, Odegaard was only a little over 17 years old, and Minamoto had not achieved his future achievements, so it was not feasible to call him to York City.

But no, why do you call him "high-end goods"?

Is that because, even though he is only 17 years old, it is too early for him to become famous!

In April 2014, Ødegaard, who was only 15 years old, was officially promoted to the first team of Norway's Stromgast.

Then on April 13, in the third round of the Norwegian Super League, Strømgast defeated Alesund Football Club 2-0, Ødegaard replaced Peter Kovac in the 72nd minute and completed his

He made his debut in the Norwegian Super League and became the youngest player in the history of the Norwegian Super League.
