Chapter 1069 Crazy signings
No one would have thought that before the World Cup, it would become the hottest period in the European football transfer market.
Perhaps because of the lessons learned last year, the signing plans of the giant teams have been in advance to avoid being in an embarrassing situation in August, so the giant teams have taken action before the World Cup.
After Atletico Madrid announced that it would sign Sanchez for 80 million euros, Real Madrid also quickly announced that it would introduce Brazilian winger Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain at a sky-high price of 150 million euros.
This news quickly ignited the whole world and shocked all fans.
150 million euros broke the highest record for professional player transfers set by Gareth Bale.
Everyone knows that if this transfer transaction is set, it will set a new record, but no one would have thought that this new record would come so quickly. Everyone thought that it would take until August to see the results, but they did not expect Real Madrid to be so fast.
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain both officially announced transfer deals, but Neymar's joining ceremony will not be held until after the World Cup ends, but this does not prevent Real Madrid fans from celebrating.
Neymar, this is the future world-class superstar that has helped Paris Saint-Germain win the Grand Slam and Gao Han chose.
150 million euros, this sky-high price is indeed very high, but being able to buy a superstar of Neymar is definitely worth it.
More importantly, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona this time.
After Luis Enrique took office, the first thing he did was to find a strong teammate for Messi. Neymar was the first player he placed on the roster, but now he was taken first by Real Madrid, which undoubtedly means that the Galaxy Battleships were one step ahead in this arms race.
But Real Madrid is quick and Barcelona is also unambiguous.
On the eve of the World Cup opening, Chairman Rossell officially announced that the team introduced Suarez from Paris Saint-Germain for a sky-high price of 100 million euros plus Ibrahimovic.
This transfer deal shocked the world again.
The 32-year-old Ibrahimovic joined Paris Saint-Germain in this way, which immediately sparked heated discussions among fans around the world.
There is no doubt that Suarez is one of the top players in football today. It is undisputed that Barcelona introduces Uruguayan striker at such a cost, but the problem is that Ibrahimovic's reputation is too loud.
This is the top three centers in the world who have been hailed as the match between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the past few years. Although they are 32 years old, their condition has declined compared to their peak period. However, the Swedish center is still one of the top superstars in European football. Joining Paris Saint-Germain in this way is indeed a bit unfair.
Many people also see that Ibrahimovic and Barcelona's management have indeed had a stumble.
Paris Saint-Germain lost two big stars in the frontcourt in one summer. Although Ibrahimovic was added, Cavani and Aubameyang were in charge, they were still somewhat weak in terms of strength and momentum.
What is particularly important is that Pirlo is already 35 years old and Rabiot is still a little immature. Paris Saint-Germain urgently needs to introduce a high-level midfielder to fill Pirlo's vacancy, so Antero Enrique fell in love with Virati of Chinatown.
The Italian midfielder, who is only 21 years old, is known as the midfield commander of Chinatown. He is a crucial member of the team last season. He performed very well and is also praised by Italy as Pirlo II. Barcelona also listed him as the number one candidate for strengthening the midfield this summer, hoping to use Verati to succeed Xavi.
At the same time, he was poached by two rich teams, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, and his performance in Chinatown last season was quite outstanding, so Veratti's value naturally soared.
Chinatown technical director Cantalero even said in an interview with the media that Verati is a core player of the club, and Chinatown will not accept any team's offer. He is a non-selling product.
But fans all over the world know that there are two types of non-selling products in European football, one is Chinatown's non-selling products, and the other is the others. Chinatown's definition of non-selling products is the termination fee, while Veratti's termination fee is as high as 100 million euros.
But before introducing Verati, Barcelona had already started the team cleaning.
After trading Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain, Fabregas also transferred to Chelsea at a high price of 40 million euros. Mourinho hopes to use Fabregas' organization and passing ability to improve the Blues' frontcourt attack power. At the same time, he also introduced Spanish international Diego Costa from Real Madrid at a high price of 60 million euros.
Once Chelsea's center forward, Falcao was sold to Manchester United by Mourinho for 40 million euros. Pochettino is full of demands on this former favorite, hoping that the arrival of Colombia center can strengthen Manchester United's forward strength.

While many European giants launched arms races, the Brazil World Cup, far away in South America, finally ignited the war.
But no one expected that on the second day of the World Cup opening, Spain lost to Van Gaal's Netherlands in the first game of Group B.
Xavi Alonso scored a goal in the 27th minute, Van Persie equalized the score before the end of the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Robben scored the second goal for the Netherlands, reversing the score.
Afterwards, Bosque replaced two players in one breath, replaced Diego Costa with Torres, and replaced Xavi Alonso with Pedro, and continued to strengthen the attack. However, unexpectedly, at the critical moment, central defender Devre, who played for Chinatown, scored a key goal for the Netherlands, further expanding the score.
Devry's goal completely broke the balanced situation on the court. After that, Van Persie and Robben scored goals one after another. The Netherlands finally defeated Spain 5-1, giving the defending champion an extremely embarrassing defeat.
This crushing defeat shocked the whole world. Not only all fans were surprised, but even the professional football circle was also shocked.
It’s not that Spain cannot lose, but no one will ever expect that it will lose so miserably.
What is even more incredible is that after losing to the Netherlands 1-5, Spain lost to Chile, who was zero-two in the second round of the group.
Interestingly, in both games, Diego Costa was replaced by Torres in the 64th minute.
The group stage suffered two consecutive losses. Although Spain defeated Australia three-to-zero in the third round, it ultimately missed the promotion, which once again created the tragedy of the defending champion's elimination in the group stage.
What is even more unexpected is that as the World Cup schedule deepens, when everyone began to be full of confidence in the host Brazil team and believed that Brazil was likely to win the World Cup in its own country, Brazil team lost to the German team coached by Lov in a big score of 1-7 in the semi-finals, which once again created a big upset.
German midfielder Tony Kroos won the best player of the game with two shots and one pass.
This game once again caused the whole world to be in a mess, and the fake ball remarks were noisy.
After the game, Real Madrid announced that it would introduce midfielder Tony Kroos from Bayern Munich at a high price of 50 million euros, and James Rodriguez, who shined in the Colombia national team, Real Madrid could be said to have won the two major midfield superstars in the World Cup.
Bayern Munich management has also been criticized by fans for Tony Cross's transfer.
The German international's contract was only 2015, but the management could not compete with Tony Cross on the issue of renewal and ultimately failed to negotiate before the World Cup, which gave Real Madrid the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Everyone knows that Tony Cross is a midfield star discovered and cultivated by Gao Han himself. He is extremely powerful and should have become the club's midfield core, but it is indeed dissatisfactory that the management made such a serious mistake in renewing a contract with such an important player.
Not only fans, Bayern Munich coach Guardiola expressed dissatisfaction with Tony Kroos' transfer. He believes that the German international should be the most important member of the club's midfielder, but now he has transferred to Real Madrid, which will be a huge loss for Bayern Munich.
Coincidentally, after Real Madrid announced the introduction of Tony Cross, they also announced that they would introduce Argentine striker Aguero from Bayern Munich at a sky-high price of 100 million euros.
Two major transfers once again triggered the European football market.
Neymar, 50 million to Tony Cross, and 100 million to Aguero, Real Madrid has invested 300 million euros in the three superstars, which is simply crazy.
The signings from the three major La Liga teams this season also make people look forward to the new season.
With the addition of Neymar and Aguero, coupled with former bidder Gareth Bale, Real Madrid's frontcourt trident in the new season is daunting, and the Galaxy Battleships will surely set off an offensive frenzy in the La Liga in the new season.
Barcelona is also not inferior. Although it failed to introduce Neymar and Sanchez, the combination of Pedro, Suarez and Messi is also the world's top. Everyone is looking forward to the joining of Veratti, which can make up for the last shortcoming in Barcelona's lineup, allowing Luis Enrique to create a Dream Four Team.
Although Atletico Madrid is relatively low-key, it has also invested more than 100 million euros in the transfer market, introducing two stars, Godin and Sanchez, especially Sanchez's joining. Together with Torres and Navas, Atletico Madrid's front-court attack combination is also not inferior to the two giants in the Spanish Super League.
As for Chinatown, there is not much noise in the transfer market, but Hazard, Firmino and Griezmann, a frontcourt attack combination with 60 goals in a single season, cannot be underestimated.
With the arrival of strong aids, the competition in La Liga in the new season will undoubtedly become particularly fierce.

The day before the World Cup final, Gao Han finally arrived in Brazil with the visiting team of the Supreme Leader.
In addition to the ministers of various departments, there were also many people from the political and business circles in this trip, but Gao Han was the most eye-catching among the visiting team.
As the most successful and greatest head coach in the world, Gao Han’s visit to Brazil, the football kingdom of football naturally attracted the attention of the media and fans. Even many domestic political officials in Brazil could not help but come up to meet and communicate with Gao Han in private.
Although Gao Han is not good at dealing with such social occasions, he still tries to maintain his demeanor and meets everyone's requirements.
The day after arriving in Brazil, the government meeting had nothing to do with Gao Han. He took the opportunity to visit the German national team and the Dutch national team participating in the World Cup finals, and was warmly welcomed by Loew, Van Gaal and the players of the two teams.
Both teams have many players cultivated by Gao Han. They were also very surprised, but happy to see Gao Han before the final.
But on the night of the World Cup final, when Gao Han appeared with the group at the Maracana Stadium and was about to go to the stands, the confidential secretary next to the leader suddenly came over.
"Mr. Gao Han, the leader asked you to sit there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers and political and business celebrities around him were all stunned, and then full of envy.
