Chapter 949 Who is Pele?
For 50 million euros, Spanish center Michu switched to Arsenal!
This long-standing old news has finally been officially recognized by both teams and has become a major media outlet in the world.
The European transfer market this summer has created many surprisingly high prices. Both the media and the fans have developed more immunity to the transfer fee of 50 million euros. But when Michu switched to the Gunners at such a high price, it was still shocking.
You know, a year ago, when Mi Chu joined Chinatown, his net worth was only one million euros, but a year later, it has reached 50 million euros. In just one year, his net worth has soared fifty times, and this is the only one in the world.
Regarding Michu's joining, Arsenal head coach Wenger said that this will be the most important transfer this summer.
"He is a very capable player, and he has always been, but this year in Chinatown, he has presented his best side and made us all recognise his value."
"He has a very tactical role, and he has a strong scoring ability and is very comprehensive. We need such a player now. I also believe that his joining can fill the gap in the team's forward line well and he will succeed in the Premier League."
This also made Michu the second Chinese City striker to join the Premier League team after Falcao. With Falcao's jade in front, everyone was full of confidence in the 25-year-old Michu, believing that this top-notch Spanish attacker could make up for the vacancy after Van Persie left the team.
Just after Chinatown guān fāng confirmed that Michu joined Arsenal, the team quickly announced that it would introduce 26-year-old Italian center Graziano Pelle from the Eredivisie Alkmaar for a price of one million euros.
Public opinion immediately became an uproar.
Many media began to suspect that they had heard it wrong. After selling Michu for 50 million euros, they only spent one million euros to introduce Pelle?
Ashe even posted a question on the front page of the headline, who is Pelle?
The 26-year-old Italian center quickly became the focus of attention of media and fans around the world. Everyone was wondering who was this not-famous Italian? He could fill the vacancy of Michu, take over the baton of Falcao, Diego Costa, Michu and others, and support the forward line of Chinatown?
As a result, after excavation, all the past experiences of Mi Chu emerged one after another, and everyone was disappointed.
It turns out that this is just a player who can't even play in the Eredivisie League.
Everyone began to question Pelle's joining. Zambrano, a famous columnist at Ass, even publicly accused Chinatown management of its transfer strategy and blindly believed in the club's past achievements.
"Perres probably think Pelle will be the second Falcao, Diego Costa and Michu."
"But you should know that in the past few years, European football has begun to usher in the information age, and there are few cases where high-level players are not valued. It is very unlikely that Pelle will copy the successful precedents of his predecessors."
Zambrano even asserted in the column that if Chinatown no longer spends a lot of money to introduce centers, it will miss the top four in the new season.
But soon, Javier Matayana, the gold medal reporter of Marca, also refuted in the column, believing that Pelle is indeed outstanding, otherwise he would not have been valued by Van Gaal and Koeman one after another.
"Before joining Chinatown, Mi Chu was just a midfielder and had never been able to perform at his best. But after joining Chinatown, in just one year, he transformed into a top-notch attacker in Europe with outstanding scoring ability."
"Whether a player is excellent depends on the player's own strength, but also pay attention to the club's situation and the head coach's use of him. If you carefully study Pelle's game in Alkmaar last season, it is not difficult to find that 18 substitutes scored six goals, and this report card is enough to be expected."
Dela Morena, the famous host of Sel Radio, also supported Pelle in a high profile on the show and revealed to all listeners, "As far as I know, it was Gao Han's decision to sign Pelle. Chinatown tracking Pelle can be traced back to a year ago. Since Mi Chu's transfer rumors were rumored, Chinatown has been locking Pelle as the target of signing."
"I can conclude that this is not a whim transfer or a gamble, but a rational choice made by Gao Han and Chinatown's technical team after a long period of tracking."
Amidst the chaos of the outside world, Chinatown head coach Pochettino proved his support for Pelle with practical actions. He personally attended Pelle's franchise ceremony and said in an interview with the media on the spot that he had had a long in-depth exchange with Pelle, and he believed that Pelle was a very professional player.
"In fact, I have a very consistent opinion with the technical team. We are both optimistic about Pelle. He is a very capable player. As the head coach, what I need to do is to give him a space to display his talents as soon as possible."
"Of course, we won't put too much pressure on Pelle, we all will help him get into the team as soon as possible."
After signing a contract with the club, Pelle also said in an interview with the media that he never dreamed of joining Chinatown, and he was so excited that he wanted to die for Chinatown.
"I promise that I will give all my abilities to the team to play, and I hope to prove myself in this way and repay the trust and support of everyone in the club."
On the afternoon of the signing ceremony, Pelle directly participated in the training class at Chinatown, and Pochettino also opened the entire training class to the outside world. Pelle looked in good condition, excited, and performed very actively, but she was still unfamiliar with her teammates and needed to further integrate into the team.
