696 record-breaking sky-high price

“I firmly believe that we will be a great team!”

In the office of the president of the Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, ​​when Ronaldo's voice came out of TV, and the praise and praise of Real Madrid's signing in another superstar from reporters and media, Laporta cursed indignantly. (")

"***!" He had the urge to lift the table.

Ingra and Begilistan were sitting on the sofas on both sides of him, and their faces looked bad. Obviously, the situation is already very serious. At least the horn of Rossel's trumpeting has forced Laporta to a dead end.

"How much money do we have now?" Laporta asked with concern.

Ingra sighed and frowned in embarrassment, "This season, our real transfer budget is only about 50 million euros. It took 9 million to buy Pique. Now we only have 40 million euros left to invest in the transfer market."

As Rossel said, Real Madrid has risen strongly in recent years. After Barcelona made huge signings, they have not made any breakthrough in revenue. Especially last year, it took such a huge price to introduce Alves. In the end, the Brazilian full-back performance has fluctuated greatly and has become a big squad, which makes Laporta the focus of Barcelona fans' bombardment.

Now Barcelona is trying every means to raise money, but they really can't afford more.

"40 million euros?" Laporta sneered, "Who can you buy?"

Ingra and Begilistan were speechless because it was okay to introduce some practical players in the transfer market at this price, but it would be difficult to introduce first-class stars, and Barcelona needs to introduce players in many positions.

"Selling Ronaldinho is expected to raise 20 million euros, and other players such as Oleg is expected to raise another 10 million, so the transfer budget we can use is 70 million euros!" Begiristan analyzed, but soon, he felt it was necessary to remind Laporta.

"Pugaldiola has already made a transfer plan, and the central defender must introduce another player. Pique is our bet on the future, and both the midfield and the wing also need to sign, especially after Ronaldinho leaves, and he also hopes to get a tall center."

Laporta glanced at Begilistan and asked with a laugh, "Did you tell him how much Drogba and Ibrahimovic are now worth?"

Begiristan was a little embarrassed, but he knew that the value of these two centers was not cheap.

Previously, Liverpool had some financial problems due to the new stadium, so it was not ruled out that Drogba was sold, but this situation has been announced to be lifted with Ronaldo's transfer. Portuguese's transfer not only strengthened Real Madrid, weakened Laporta, but also hit Barcelona's operations in the transfer market.

Drogba is not good, but Ibrahimovic is possible because he has a greedy agent and is now preparing to make a salary increase with Inter Milan, but the question is, how much money do you have to spend to convince Inter Milan?

"What do Inter Milan think about Etoo in exchange for Ibrahimovic's plan?" Laporta asked.

Ingra shook his head, "Inter Milan doesn't need Etoo. They have Van Nie and Ronaldo, and Luca Tony. Etoo also said through his agent that he is unwilling to be the leader in other people's transfers."

"Damn!" Laporta swears again, he is very anxious now.

The fan group outside is in full swing, and the Special Committee has launched an investigation into the referendum. If he cannot make any moves to convince fans in the shortest time, he may even become the first Barcelona chairman to be demoted by the referendum, which will make him a laughing stock in the Barcelona region, and his idea of ​​participating in politics will not be realized.

"We must come up with a feasibility plan as soon as possible now, and at least in the shortest time, introduce a superstar who can suppress the emotions of fans!" Laporta seemed very anxious.

"But in terms of funds..." Ingra worried.

Laporta immediately interrupted him, "I will contact the bank immediately, you go to Milan immediately."

After hearing this, Ingra nodded.

Laporta looked at Begiristan again, "We must finalize a superstar as soon as possible, just say that it was Guardiola's hand-held!"

The latter is already familiar with this. All club management teams are like this. If you take advantage of good things, you will win the credit, and if you don’t, you will shirk the responsibility. The head coach is often easily targeted by the public.

As the European Cup battle gradually opened, the focus of fans around the world shifted from Spain, which triggered summer transfers to Austria and Switzerland, focusing on the European Cup games.

As one of the highest level of authoritative events in Europe and even the world, although in recent years, there have been a tendency to be overall and conservative, there are actually some exciting games, especially as the team's head coach, Yang Cheng has almost watched every game.

This is not only because he wants to write a column for the pictures and Marca newspaper, but also interact with fans on the Internet blog and Weibo, but also because he hopes to further improve and improve his tactical literacy by observing the tactics of these national team head coaches from the game.

He benefited a lot from the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and he believed that this European Cup would not be bad either.

Spain was the most popular group stage in the first leg. The team defeated Russia 4:1, Villa scored a hat trick, and in the Spanish starting lineup that played 442 tactics, there were five players from Real Madrid, namely Casillas, Aveloa, Ramos, David Silva and Villa.

Villa scored a hat trick and became the most eye-catching player in the first round.

But Sweden, who is in the same group, also defeated Greece 2:0 with Ibrahimovic's one pass and one shot.

In the second leg, Torres' goal and Ibrahimovic's equalizer score both made the game heat up. At the critical moment, Villa's final decision in the 90th minute allowed Spain to win two consecutive victories.

In another game, Russia defeated Greece 1:0 with Tsar Ashavin's outstanding performance and defeated Sweden 2:0 in the third round. These two games also made Ashavin the most dazzling star in the European Cup, while Sweden stopped in the group stage. Ibrahimovic played 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 games, and performed well. The latest chapter of the temple.

The whole process afterwards seemed to be similar to Yang Cheng's previous life. Spain finally defeated Germany 1-0. Even though the German team successfully reached the final, Yang Cheng still felt that the shortcomings of Löw's coaching ability made Germany slowly lose its traditions.

In fact, Yang Cheng always supported Klinsmann to coach Germany and also helped him stay after the World Cup, but in the end he submitted his resignation at the end of 2006. The newly appointed Loew led Germany to bump into the bangs and bruises. Whether it was in the peripheral group stage, the group stage of the European Cup, or even to the finals all the way, Germany's performance was unconvincing.

Of course, if Germany finally overcomes the previous ups and downs, then the clumsiness of the finals made Yang Cheng feel that he must point out the biggest problem of the German team.

"This is a German team that has lost its tenacious tradition. This is not a German team that I am familiar with and expectate at all. It is not in terms of technology. In fact, the German team's technological progress is very fast, which shows the success of youth training. But the problem is that in the face of Spain with more delicate technology, no team should pursue ground ball cooperation too much."

"Give up your own advantages and be obsessed with your own disadvantages is indeed a major tactical mistake in the German finals, especially when Loew failed to turn the situation around at a critical moment, resulting in the final defeat. If he could launch an offensive more proactively and resolutely from the beginning of the game, making the team more aggressive and aggressive, I think the situation would be very different."

"But the most important thing is that at the last critical moment, I couldn't see Germany having the spirit of never giving up, nor did I see Germany's willpower to desperately save the defeat and equalize the score after losing the ball. This is undoubtedly the key to Germany's loss, because when we were behind, we still had an hour to save the game, but we did nothing."

"Of course, I don't think we can't be too harsh on the players and Loew. Spain's performance is indeed better. Aragones' tactics are well-controlled. Germany has undoubtedly proved its strength in the European Cup where strong teams gather. However, if they want to go further, they need to further improve their skills and willpower."

"In my ideal, Germany should have added more delicate passes and receiving cooperation on the basis of retaining its original fighting spirit and hardline style, and added more intelligent off-ball running on the basis of its original superman's first-class physical fitness and tactical execution. But now it seems that Germany still has a long way to go!"

Yang Cheng posted a column in the photo newspaper and resonated with German fans. They also felt that this German team lacked tenacity and never giving up, but many fans pointed out that in fact, Loew's coaching style has always been like this.

As Yang Cheng often said, a gentle sheep leads a group of wolves, and never expects them to show their wolf's blood.

Of course, Yang Cheng is not the kind of head coach who is harsh on others, so he did not say anything in his column that he just commented on the German team in the final, proposed directions for improvement, and also called for more time and opportunities to give Loew.

As the European Cup came to an end, more and more fans began to look at the transfer market.

After Cristiano Ronaldo has determined who will become a hot spot in the transfer market after he switched to Real Madrid. This immediately attracted media attention. The first one was undoubtedly Liverpool's Russian star Ashavin.

At this moment, the whole world couldn't help but once again amazed at the treasure house left by Yang Cheng for Liverpool. All the kops praised the foundation left by Yang Cheng, believing that Yang Cheng had saved Liverpool's dynasty base.

Ronaldo almost broke the world's sky-high price record. Robben, Ribery, Drogba, and Gerald are all the hottest superstars in the world. Now another Ashavin has appeared. The transfer fee for the Russian Tsar has been hyped up to a sky-high price of 40 million euros. You can imagine how popular he is.

And all of this was left by Yang Cheng for them!

However, Liverpool also made it clear that Ashaven will continue to stay in the team in the new season, because Liverpool wants to continue to make a difference in the league and the Champions League, so it is also very important to maintain the team's strength.

Just the second day after the European Cup, Manchester United announced that it had introduced Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur at a high price of 38.1 million euros. Xiaosha Ge will attack Manchester United in the new season, which is also hailed as a crucial transfer by Ferguson.

In fact, the reason why Ferguson fell in love with Brother Xiaosha was the pass that Berbatov retraceeded and took the ball.

Yang Cheng had also liked Bulgarian striker back then because he had the technical ability to pull out the central defender's defense, retreat and take the ball back and turn and pass directly behind him. This made Berbatov's tactical significance in the frontcourt, but the problem is that the Bulgarian's level of investment in the game discouraged Yang Cheng.

But Mr. Fur's personality is like a woman in love. I believe I can change his personality!

In addition to Manchester United, Arsenal also announced that it would sign in Nasri from Marseille for a high price of 20 million euros. The French midfielder is also known as Zidane's successor. Wenger admires him very much and does not hesitate to send him a considerable transfer fee.

In order to raise this transfer fee, Wenger did not hesitate to transfer Belarusian star Heleb to Barcelona for 15 million euros. In addition to several other transfers, Arsenal's income and expenditure in the transfer market were basically balanced.

In La Liga, the same day after Barcelona signed in Geleb, Laporta announced to the public that Barcelona introduced Keita from Sevilla for 16 million euros. This midfielder will also comprehensively strengthen Barcelona's midfield configuration, and the signing of Villarrel to Uruguayan central defender Cáceres for 18 million euros is seen as a major signal for the team to strengthen the defense line.

All three consecutive transfers were first-class European stars, which also made all Barcelona fans feel Laporta's courage. As a competitor, Rossell doubted where Laporta's transfer fee came from.

But just when Rossell's doubts had not received a response from Barcelona fans, Laporta did not give him more time and directly announced a major transfer.

…………

On July 3, nearly 90,000 fans flocked to the Camp Nou Stadium. They gathered in the stands at Camp Nou Stadium, waiting for the arrival of the great superstar in their minds.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish tower striker, is destined to be recorded in Barcelona's history, because from this day on, he will become the most valuable striker in the world. He will switch from Inter Milan to Barcelona for a historic price of 86 million euros. This Swedish striker who performed very well in the Serie A last season will wear a Barcelona jersey in the new season and capture the city for Barcelona.

So many fans gathered at the Camp Nou Stadium, completely breaking the world record set by Yang Cheng when he joined the Bernabeu, and also allowing all Barcelona fans to feel the shock brought by Ibrahimovic.

In fact, long before its debut, the media in the Catalan region began to build momentum for Ibrahimovic's franchise, promoting the amazing strength of the Swedish striker. Even Cruyff, even stood up in person, saying that Ibrahimovic would be the most special player in Barcelona and would be a huge asset to the team.

Guardiola also said that Ibrahimovic's strength is better than Ronaldo, which can help Barcelona completely solve the shortcomings of single offensive methods in the fallen side, and make Barcelona's offense take off again.

At the debut ceremony in the middle of the Camp Nou Stadium, Laporta ambition to thank Barcelona fans.

"Your arrival is the greatest symbol of Barcelona football. The club's management and I have been doing our best to make the club regain respect and glory again. Today, we welcome a top superstar who is outstanding and we firmly believe that he will bring us the greatest success!"

Ibrahimovic walked out of the player's passage in Barcelona's No. 9 jersey, ran into the court, hugged the club's godfather Cruyff and head coach Guardiola, and then walked to Laporta. In the end, the Barcelona president introduced him to all Barcelona fans.

"Dear Zlatan Ibrahimovic, this group of Barcelona fans are here for you, and it is them who have pushed Barcelona to the current height. Now, they all hope that you can use your talents and skills to help this great club rise to an unprecedented height!"

"We all hope you can understand that the primary condition for success in Barcelona is to cooperate sincerely in the whole team, but dear Zlatan Ibrahimovic, this does not prevent you from becoming a favorite of Barcelona fans. Welcome to Camp Nou and Barcelona!"

Ibrahimovic looked very excited. He waved to the fans first and immediately received cheers from Barcelona fans. Then he began the first sentence he said as a Barcelona player.

"I seem to live in a dream. There are many great teams in the world, but only Barcelona is so unique. It is so wonderful for me to be teammates with Messi and Xavi, etc.!"

"I know there are many fans and journalists outside who doubt my value and think I don't deserve such a high price, but I think I deserve it because I am better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka. I am the best player in the world, and I don't need the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer to prove that I am the world's number one."

"I will prove my worth with practical actions, and I will make those who like to gossip regret what they have lived!"

"I came to Barcelona, ​​there was only one reason to help the team beat Real Madrid!"

"I came to Barcelona, ​​and I only had one purpose, to help the team step on the opponent firmly under my feet!"

"Don't doubt if I can do it. I will prove this with a steady stream of goals, I will prove it with performance, and all doubts about me are stupid!"

"Everyone, all Barcelona fans, wait to win the league championship!"

"Long live Barcelona!!!" Ibrahimovic pulled up the team logo on his chest and kissed him heavily.

This series of speeches completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the Camp Nou Stadium. The entire Camp Nou Stadium suddenly became a vast ocean, and the fans' shouts seemed to be about to submerge Ibrahimovic in the middle.

At this moment, Laporta's crisis of forcing the palace was self-defeating!

But new crises quietly enveloped the Camp Nou.
Chapter completed!
