Chapter 1097
As the end of July approaches, the European transfer market is also becoming more and more popular.
After receiving capital from Singapore's billionaire Lin Rongfu, Valencia, who had performed poorly in the previous seasons, began to rebuild her morale and was ambitious to do a big game in the new season of La Liga.
As soon as the summer transfer began, Valencia announced that it would introduce Tunisian central defender Abdunur from Monaco for a high price of 30 million euros. Then the Bat Legion introduced Rodrigo, Gomez and Casero from Benfica, spending a total of 80 million euros. In addition, it cost 35 million euros to introduce Negrado from Manchester City. The Bat Legion spent 150 million euros as soon as it entered July.
Such a large-scale signing also shocked the entire La Liga and excited many Valencia fans, believing that the team has finally introduced a rich boss and will strive to return to the top four in the new season.
Following Valencia, Atletico Madrid also made great moves.
After Gao Han's reminder, Hill and Cerrezo took action early and introduced Belgian player Carrasco from Monaco for 20 million euros. After the Bedmont Army finalized the transfer with Monaco, giants such as Barcelona and Chelsea announced their interest in Carrasco, and the players' value soared.
With this one alone, the bed sheet army saved at least 10 million euros this summer. For this reason, Hill and Cerrezo also called Gao Han to thank him. If Gao Han hadn't reminded him, they wouldn't have operated so quickly.
In addition to introducing Carrasco for 20 million, Atletico Madrid also announced that it would introduce forward Vietto from Villarrell for 25 million euros, central defender Savic from Fiorentina for 30 million euros, and young Argentine midfielder Cranivit from the riverbed for 10 million euros.
In addition to these transfers, the Bedding Legion is also actively operating other players, and is expected to invest more than 100 million euros this summer, which also makes everyone feel the financial resources of Atletico Madrid once again.
Barcelona is trapped by FIFA's transfer ban. They can buy people this summer, but cannot register. Therefore, Barcelona is not very good at making moves in the transfer market. They are more rumored to have sex with Griezmann. Danilo is really interested. However, the La Liga giants still hope to buy Danilo first and continue to loan at Chinatown, and then join after the winter break.
But the players are not very willing to join Barcelona in this way.
On the contrary, after Real Madrid announced that they would win Stones for 60 million euros, the Galaxy Battleship first announced that head coach Ancelotti had taken over the Bernabeu, and then announced that they would pay a liquidated damages for French central defender Laporte, who played for Athletic Bilbao, to first attract the young La Liga talent to the Bernabeu at a sky-high price of 70 million euros.
This deal once again ignited the European football market.
Laport and Stones, both central defenders, were from 1994 and were only in their early twenties. As a result, one was 70 million euros and the other was 60 million euros, both of which broke the transfer fee record of young defenders.
As a result, the media's remarks about the bubble in European players' value have become noisy again. Everyone thinks that the value of players in the transfer market is too crazy and completely lose their minds.
As for such a situation, more professionals analyze it mainly because the whole world adopts monetary easing policies. When the United States and Europe are crazily turning on the printing press, the depreciation of money will be faster than before.
In addition, the rise of rich teams such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain has brought huge funds, making high-quality stars in short supply. Not to mention famous stars, even young rookies like Stones and Laporte are all worth a hundred times the price, and even show a situation where a general is hard to find.
After Real Madrid announced that they would pay the termination fee for Laporte, Manchester City quickly announced that Guardiola officially became the team's head coach, and at the same time, he introduced right-back Danilo from Chinatown at a high price of 80 million euros.
According to British media reports, Guardiola personally persuaded Danilo to join, and this sky-high transaction seemed much more reasonable in the face of Laporte's sky-high price of 70 million euros.
Coincidentally, after Klopp coached Liverpool, the Reds decisively took out 70 million euros to introduce Brazilian striker Firmino from Chinatown by paying the termination fee.
This Brazilian striker, who was originally regarded as a treasure by Manchester United, has performed very well in the past two seasons, runs positively, and has a comprehensive range of characteristics. He is the core main force on the Chinatown forward line. However, this summer, he has not reached an agreement with Chinatown on the issue of renewal and was eventually sold to Liverpool by the team.
Klopp is excited to defeat Manchester United and win Firmino. He believes that Firmino will greatly improve Liverpool's frontcourt attack power, and his comprehensive and running coverage will also drive Liverpool's overall strength to improve.
After Firmino announced his transfer to Liverpool, Griezmann finally chose Manchester United.
With 150 million euros, the Red Devils and Manchester United defeated many competitors and successfully introduced Griezmann from Chinatown.
This sky-high transfer tied Neymar, but it caused heated discussions among fans around the world.
Many people think that Griezmann is not worth the price, at most 100 million euros, it's a big hit. However, Guardian reporter Green Wald said in a column that part of the important reason why Manchester United is willing to pay such a high sky-high price for Griezmann is due to the promotion of new sponsor Adidas.
After Chinatown announced its contract renewal with Nike, Adidas strongly supported its teams to poach Chinatown, and once set its target on Hazard. Teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich were all coveting Hazard, but Chinatown renewed its contract with Hazard with an annual salary of 10 million, which dispelled all teams' idea of poaching.
Later, Manchester United targeted Griezmann and Firmino, but they did not expect Firmino to be intercepted by Liverpool in the middle of the road. This greatly stimulated Manchester United management, for fear that Griezmann would be intercepted by Paris Saint-Germain or Barcelona again. The Red Devils finally gritted their teeth and paid a 150 million euro termination fee for Griezmann.
After selling Danilo, Firmino and Griezmann, Chinatown quickly announced that it would renew its contract with captain De Gea. After the contract renewal, De Gea's termination fee was as high as 300 million euros, completely dispelling the idea of poaching Real Madrid and Barcelona.
After Casillas free transfer to Porto, only Casilla is left in Real Madrid, and signing is imminent. As for the left-leading Chinese City left-back Alex Sandro, it has to be temporarily put on hold.
On the other hand, Chinatown is selling three major players. Although it has a transfer fee of 300 million euros, it actually takes about two years to get all of this money. In order to fill the gap in the front line, the team announced the recall of the young forward player Jessus from Brazil. In addition, the team's biggest move is to announce the comprehensive improvement of the Nansu Chinatown Training Center.
In addition to further expanding the scale of the training center, this time the improvement will also update the original equipment and software and hardware facilities. The players' rooms will all be upgraded to the standard of a five-star hotel. A brand new player training building will be built. In addition to providing it to youth team players, it will also be used by Chinese national teams that will come to Europe for training and participate in the Spanish low-level league.
Of course, the national team has to pay a reasonable fee for this.
What Chinatown has not announced is that Chinatown will withdraw 100 million euros from this transfer fee in the next two years and invest in China's youth training. In addition to building a new youth training center, it will mainly comprehensively improve the software and hardware facilities of Beijing Chinatown Youth Training Center.

While the European transfer market was in full swing, Chinatown also ended its trip to North America.
In the United States, Chinatown played a total of four warm-up matches, with the last two defeats of Chelsea one-to-zero, and defeated the Red Devils Manchester United one-to-two, missing the championship in the North American division of the International Champions League.
One of the important reasons for the poor performance in the last two games is that Firmino and Griezmann left the team. Although players such as Morata and Dybala quickly rose to the top, the team suffered twists and turns and their combat effectiveness was also affected.
This situation even continued into the European Super Cup in mid-August.
In the Tbilisi National Stadium in Georgia, Zidane's Chinatown was stubbornly sniped by Emery's Sevilla. The two sides fought hard and once the battle was tied with a two-to-two draw.
It was not until the 117th minute of stoppage time that Hesse scored the winning goal, and finally defeated Sevilla 3-2 and won the first championship trophy of the new season.
But four days later, in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup at Stadium Real, just thirteen minutes into the opening game, Chinatown took the lead with Cork's goal, and then Morata scored a hat trick on his head. In the end, the team broke Barcelona with a 4-0 home court.
In this game, Messi and Suarez appeared in the main lineup, but Xavi, Rakitic, Iniesta and Busquets all failed to play. In the end, Barcelona's midfielder completely lost control and was humiliated by Chinatown four to zero.
Three days later, when he returned to the Camp Nou Stadium, Barcelona played with all the main lineups, while Chinatown was in a large rotation, and eventually defeated the visiting Chinatown 2-0 at home.
But the total score was four to two, and Chinatown won another championship trophy.
Although the Spanish Super Cup has always been regarded as a useless person, Barcelona's 0-to-4 defeat in the first leg has sparked heated discussions among fans around the world. Luis Enrique's team failed to get a good start and his condition was not ideal. Coupled with FIFA's transfer ban, the prospects for the new season are indeed worrying.
While Chinatown was competing in the two major cup matches before the season, the Chinese national team also ushered in the East Asian Cup in Wuhan.
In the first round, he lost to South Korea by 0-2, and defeated North Korea by 2-0 in the second round, and then drew Japan by 1-1. His record of winning, draw and losing is pretty good, and he basically achieved the level of the national team.
However, before and after losing to the South Korean team, many media broke the news that during the preparations for the game in Wuhan, head coach Perrin privately left the national team hotel and went to the bar with his friends after the players were resting many times, which aroused heated discussions among the media and fans in China.
In the first round of the World Cup qualifiers, the performance of the Chinese national football team was very different from the performance during the Asian Cup six months ago, especially the players' mental outlook, which was incomparable.
This also made many media and fans generally express their concern, fearing that the national team will make another mistake in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, and the voice of Perrin being dismissed began to appear on the Internet.
