Chapter 479: Top 5 in history

Gao Zheng joined Atletico Madrid with a transfer of 75 million euros, which not only caused a very strong response in China, but also a very sensational news in Europe.
After all, this is the value of a Chinese player.
For European football, there has never been a Chinese player worth so much money before.
Prior to this, the highest transfer fee record for Chinese players belonged to Chinese football legend Sun Jihai. He is one of the most successful Chinese players abroad. Of course, it seems that this honor will be given to Gao Zheng...
In 2002, he moved permanently to Manchester City for two million pounds, or about 3.26 million euros.
This transfer fee even created a record for the transfer fee of Asian players at the time. Coincidentally, Gao Zheng's transfer fee has also set a new record for Asian players' transfer fee.
But even if he played for Manchester City for six seasons, played 130 times in the league and scored three goals, "China's most successful overseas player", his worth is now 20 times different from that of Gao Zheng.
Even considering the inflation from 2002 to 2014, this growth rate is very scary.
With this value, Gao Zheng jumped into the ranks of world-class stars.
The high price has greatly satisfied the vanity of many Chinese fans.
After the transfer was finalized and the amount of the transfer fee was disclosed, a large number of Chinese fans were happy. For professional football, the player's worth can often reflect the player's ability and grade from a certain angle.
This is why everyone cares so much about the transfer fee.
But not everyone will applaud the transfer fee. In fact, there are still some other Chinese fans who are "scared" by this number.
Seven hundred and five hundred euros, not seven and a half million euros, but seventy-five million euros!
What is this concept?
This summer’s transfer window has not been closed, and new transfers will appear at any time.
In La Liga, on July 16, Barcelona announced that they signed Uruguay striker Luis Suarez from Liverpool for a transfer fee of €81 million. It is the "standard king" in the La Liga transfer market so far this summer.
And Gao Zheng's 75 million ranked second-Real Madrid is pursuing Colombian midfielder Hames Rodriguez, which is said to be almost successful. If the transfer is confirmed, the transfer fee may be About 80 million euros. But even so, Gao Zheng's transfer fee can be ranked in the top three in La Liga this summer.
Comparing the European transfer market this summer, Gao Zheng's transfer fee is currently ranked in the top three.
If we make a longitudinal comparison in the dimension of time, Gao Zheng’s 75 million euro transfer fee is a shocking figure for both La Liga and the entire European football field-this figure put Gao Zheng in 2001 -Above Zidane in the 2002 season. Only Cristiano Ronaldo, who moved to Real Madrid in 2009, and Gareth Bale, who moved to Real Madrid last year, and Suarez this year, and possibly Hames Rodriguez, can be more expensive than him. . (Note 1)
In other words, Gao Zheng can be ranked fourth or fifth in the transfer fee ranking of the entire world football history!
In other words, he is the fourth or fifth most expensive player in the history of world football!
This is an amazing achievement.
Through this horizontal and vertical comparison, it is not difficult to understand why many Chinese fans and media reporters are scared...
Some people think that Atletico Madrid is crazy, and even spending so much money to buy Gao Zheng, while bringing huge economic pressure to himself, it also brought huge pressure to Gao Zheng. He will always be wearing the hat of "the most expensive signing in the history of Atletico Madrid", and has been observed by countless people with a microscope. As long as one performance is not good, I am afraid that it will attract criticism and ridicule. This kind of public opinion environment is for Gao Zheng. Say, obviously not friendly. At that time, in case Gao Zheng is not satisfactory, I am afraid that I will be buckled with a hat that is "the biggest parallel in the history of Atletico Madrid"...
Others think that the mysterious Chinese consortium that provided part of the transfer funds for Atletico Madrid is purely kindly helping. They did this to make Gao Zheng create history, but also pushed Gao Zheng to the cusp. They are not infrequent with this high transfer fee record. They would rather let Gao Zheng go to Atletico Madrid to become a simple and simple transfer, so that everyone should not focus on Gao Zheng's transfer fee figures.
Of course, some people think that Gao Zheng's price is not a good thing, and naturally some people have opposite views.
Most of those who support Gao Zheng's high value are Gao Zheng's fans. They believe in their idols and believe that Gao Zheng deserves such a value. And think that those who are worried are "false powders" with insufficient confidence in Gao Zheng, and only they are true love.
Gao Zheng's worth not only caused controversy in China, but also in Europe.
After the transfer transaction between Atletico Madrid and Sampdoria was officially announced, figures on Gao Zheng's transfer fees were quickly reported by the media.
The "Marca" newspaper even gave Gao Zheng a headline headline, and printed his transfer fee number next to Gao Zheng's photo, followed by a big question mark.
Even if you don't have to look at the specific content, you can understand the attitude of the "Marca" newspaper.
They were surprised by Gao Zheng's transfer fee, thinking that Gao Zheng was not worth the price.
Some people oppose the support of nature, this is the same in Europe and China.
The Aspen newspaper believes that Luis Suarez, who scored 31 goals in the Premier League last season, is worth 81 million, and Hames Rodriguez, who scored 11 goals in the Ligue 1 last season It may be worth 80 million euros. Why did the European gold boots last season, the Champions League scorer list second, breaking the Serie A single-season goal-record record high Zheng value of 75 million would be higher?
Of course, this year is the World Cup year, and Gao Zheng did not participate in the World Cup, Suarez and Hames Rodriguez participated in the World Cup, the latter also outstanding performance in the World Cup, which is one of the reasons for their high value.
But Ibrahimovic also did not participate in the World Cup. He had a transfer fee of nearly 70 million euros when he moved to Barcelona. Judging from his performance in the league at that time, why no one thought Ibrahimimo Is Vicky worth the price?
"As" newspaper believes that Gao Zheng is worth 75 million euros. Of course, whether Gao Zheng can play a performance that suits his worth at Atletico Madrid is another matter...
What happened in Madrid, the Barcelona media also joined in the excitement, but they have no good words. Although Barcelona regards Real Madrid as an enemy, Atletico Madrid is also their enemy-last season Barcelona and Atletico Madrid competed for the league title. With one round left in the league, Atletico Madrid ranked first and led the second. Barcelona three points. The final round of the league is precisely a direct dialogue between the two sides, Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid at home.
As long as Barcelona can beat Atletico Madrid at home, they can take advantage of the win-loss relationship between the two sides and win the league championship with Atletico Madrid.
This game is also home to Barcelona, ​​and the home team is more optimistic before the game.
As a result, Simeone's team faced an unfavorable situation, but in the tenacious 1:1 away draw with Barcelona, ​​won the league title.
Pro-Barcelona's "World Sports" said happily that the net worth of 75 million euros will become a time bomb buried in Atletico Madrid, I don't know when it will be detonated. And such a high transfer fee will also create an enemy for Gao Zheng in the team, let other Atletico Madrid think of this newcomer with the "most expensive player in team history"?
Barcelona’s mouthpiece
Daily Sports News
even referred to the transfer as a business activity in which Chinese companies spend a lot of money to sponsor Gao Zheng to play for Atletico Madrid. They think that there is no competitive aspect for Atletico Madrid to buy Gao Zheng. The consideration is just to be able to develop and utilize the Chinese market to make money. These 75 million people may not have paid a penny for Atletico Madrid, and Gao Zheng is just a mascot they invited for free.
Gao Zheng performed well in Serie A, but in the eyes of "Daily Sports News", the already declining Serie A is not worth mentioning at all, and the outstanding performance in that declining league can't prove anything. La Liga and Serie A are no longer a league.
In the transfer market this summer, Barcelona's lack of interest in Gao Zheng fully illustrates this point. A club like Real Madrid would have a relationship with a club like Sampdoria for a Chinese player. By comparison, Barcelona is indeed a real giant-real giants will not let themselves be condescended to those two or three Dealing with streaming clubs.
Finally, "Daily Sports News" meaningfully welcomed Gao Zheng: "Welcome to Xichao, Chinese!"

Note 1: The transfer fee for Neymar here is 57 million euros, instead of the 111 million euros reported by the Maca, and 8600. Ten thousand euros. So Neymar's transfer fee is far below Gao Zheng.
PS, in addition, today is New Year's Eve, I wish you all family reunion, Happy New Year!
