Vol 4 Chapter 1382: Arms race

If you want to use one word to describe the European transfer market in the summer of 2016, [hot] is definitely the most appropriate, but if you want to use a word to describe the mood of European football practitioners, it must be amazing.
Surprised to be amazing!
This is not because Pogba has created a record high transfer record, nor is it the highest Serie A transfer record brought by Higuain, because these are only results, they are appearances, what is really surprising is that .
In fact, such storms have long been known.
In the past few years, with the acquisition of local tyrants such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, hot money from all over the world has poured into European football. For example, this year, Su Ling from China acquired Inter Milan, which caused The phenomenon of excellent football monks in European football is more and less, the player's worth immediately rises.
Therefore, this summer, Pogba's transfer fee exceeded 100 million euros, breaking the historical record set by Yang Yang in 2009.
Everyone had expected it, but I didn't expect it to be Pogba.
What is shocking is that Juventus immediately digs up Higuain at an astonishingly high price of 90 million Euros, which shocked the whole world. You know, Higuain is Twenty-eight years old.
Is this still the same Serie A that everyone is familiar with?
Stones, Sane, Zaka, Mkhitaryan, Mane, Mustafi, Joao Mario, Bashuai ...
A familiar but seemingly unfamiliar name, some players may not even know the fans of European football, but these players are often sold at a high price of 40-50 million euros, and basically all flow to the Premier League Tyrant.
why?
The most fundamental reason is that the Premier League will implement a new broadcast contract in the new season. This new contract will bring up to 5.1 billion pounds in the Premier League in the next three years, compared with the past three years. The execution of this broadcast contract has soared by 70%, which can be said to shock the whole world.
Even more terrifying is that this is only the copyright of the English Premier League in the United Kingdom. The Premier League also has a huge overseas market, as well as the copyright of the Internet and other markets. These are very amazing income channels.
As early as before, some organizations have counted that the salary of the Premier League ’s newly promoted Queen ’s Park Rangers team exceeds the Serie A giants Milan, and after signing such a brand-new contract, the Premier League team will become more affluent. So that they can wave their cheques more recklessly.
You should know that according to the current revenue of this new contract, the new season's Premier League relegation team can get 90 million pounds of income, which is far more than other European leagues, so that the Premier League team does not see it at all. The Champions League, because the prize money is a bit too shabby.
In the official words of the Premier League, from the economic point of view, the Premier League relegation teams are more powerful than the Dutch giants Ajax!
Then the question is coming, when the vice-president of the Premier League can get nearly £ 100 million in income, what will these teams do?
Put money in your pocket?
Wrong, in such a fiercely competitive situation, any team puts their money in their pockets, and the one waiting for them must be relegated, so they will spend their money desperately, searching the world for good players, and strengthening their own strength. To cope with the fierce Premier League competition when the new season arrives.
As a result, even Arsenal, who has always been stingy, began to squander. Wenger spent more than 100 million generously this time, buying Zaka, Perez and Mustafi and other reinforcements, because he felt it. The threat of strong enemies.
This is true for Arsenal, but not for other teams?
In order to ensure their competitiveness, all English Premier League teams can only invest wildly.
There are only a few local tyrants, and they are basically based on the pursuit of top stars. However, there are twenty teams in the Premier League. When they put their skyrocketing income into the transfer market, they followed. It's the madness of the summer transfer market.
As a result, thirteen of the 20 Premier League teams broke the club's history of recruiting records.
Guardiola coaching Manchester City, Mourinho coaching Manchester United and Conte coaching Chelsea. The three major Premier League teams changed coaches, stimulating the Premier League transfer market and setting off a wave of intensifying arms race.
It can be said that for the entire European summer transfer in 2016, everyone was dumbfounded, because no one thought that the entire transfer market would be so crazy that there were so many unexpected things.
For example, after the sale of Higuain, Naples suddenly announced that it would dig Ajax ’s Polish striker Milik at a high price of 32 million euros. The Dutch League this season, scored 21 goals in 32 games, the performance is not very good.
The reason why Milik is worth 32 million Euros is that he performed well in the European Cup, especially in the group stage, Poland scored two goals in total, Milik passed one shot, but instead Lewandowski, who plays for Bayern Munich, is the number one star on the team.
It can be said that the European Cup made Milik famous in the first battle and switched to Serie A at a high price of 32 million euros.
Not only Milik, but also Bashuiai, who played for Ligue 1 Marseille. He was also not famous before, more young rookies, but after following Belgium in the European Cup, he became famous, for 40 million euros. The sky-high price was transferred to Chelsea.
André Gomez and Joao Mario, the two Portuguese champion humerus generals, also jumped to the dragon goal, and they all moved to Barcelona and other high-end teams at a high price.
It is not difficult to see how crazy the entire European transfer market is.
It can even be said that it has reached a point where it has overheated and lost its calm and reason. As long as it is a slightly up-and-coming star, the giants would rather make mistakes than let them go.
However, for Ajax, this is actually a good thing.
Although the sale of Millick disrupted Pete Bos ’plans and deployment, it also gave Ajax a generous transfer income, plus Fisher, Van der Horn, Anderson, The transfer of players such as Becker and Ajax earned a total of 50 million euros.
That is to say, at the very least, in the following season, Ajax does not need to worry about the team's financial budget anymore, at least it can support itself.
Of course, the other players have nothing to do with the overall situation, but selling the two main players of Milik and Silesson will definitely affect Ajax's preparation and achievements for the new season. It depends on how they can perform. Van Gaal and Pete Boss.
Yang Yang gave a green light to Milik ’s transfer. At the same time, he also admired Florentino ’s previous estimate of the European transfer market. He also clearly remembered that Florentino said that in the next few years In the European transfer market, the value of excellent players will be higher and higher, which is an inevitable trend in the short term.
Therefore, the most important thing for Ajax right now is to train young players, give full play to their youth training advantages, and then reverse the club's financial difficulties.
The most surprising thing about the entire summer transfer is Real Madrid.
Real Madrid, which was originally rumored to be poaching Pogba, not only did not intervene in Pogba's transfer, but shrunk in the transfer market, except for Morata and Asensio. In addition to good players, Real Madrid only introduced Kanter, which is also surprising.
Rival enemy Barcelona spent more than 100 million euros, but in fact Real Madrid did not even reach half of its opponents, which does not meet the outside world's impression of Real Madrid's wealth.
…………
…………
Starting in June, Yang Yang took his wife and children on vacation.
First returned to China, and then traveled, always hiding from the media, very low-key.
It wasn't until mid-July that Yang Yang quietly returned to Europe. He first went to Amsterdam to deal with some things before returning to Madrid and officially reporting to Valdebebas.
Real Madrid ’s new season of training began on July 16, and according to Real Madrid ’s news of players, including Navas, Varane, Danilo and Carvajal, the international players who participated in the European Cup and the America ’s Cup will all Return to the team in advance to participate in the team's pre-season training.
This is undoubtedly quite good news for Real Madrid.
Many people may be surprised. Why have these players suddenly become so conscious?
In fact, this is not a cause for fuss, because Real Madrid ’s internal competition is brutal, and only Real Madrid players know that if they do not return to the team early to participate in training, once the performance is not good at the beginning of the season, it is really possible to stay on the cold bench.
On the day Yang Yang arrived in Valdebebas, Real Madrid officials also received a fax from FIFA. They formally rejected Real Madrid ’s appeal on the transfer ban.
Real Madrid decided to appeal to the International Sports Arbitration Tribunal after internal discussions. The reasons are different from Barcelona ’s original. Real Madrid ’s appeal is that FIFA has imposed too much punishment on Real Madrid. Although the team has suspected violations, it has not What FIFA said is so serious.
Atletico, who failed to appeal at the same time as Real Madrid, will also make a decision within five days to see whether to continue the appeal.
It can be said that the entire process is basically in accordance with the route planned by Real Madrid in advance. If the appeal is successful, Real Madrid will shorten the suspension period. The ideal result is to punish only one transfer window.
Anyway, Real Madrid never transfers during the winter break. Even if they are punished for not buying people during the winter break, it will not have much impact on Real Madrid.
After the introduction of Kanter, Morata and Asensio, Real Madrid is still strong and strong, without any fear of the challenges of any team, naturally it will not worry about the prohibition of recruitment during the winter break.
In terms of clubs, Pintus has developed a more detailed pre-season physical reserve training plan after last season's experience. The intensity is still very large, but after experiencing the bitter and sweet situation last season , The emperor will be able to receive such terror training immediately.
In Pintos's statement, although the Real Madrid performed well this season, it is still not far from the goal of the player he booked to run an average of 13,000 kilometers per game.
