Chapter 509 A Brand New Era

When Liverpool was having its own friendly match, the transfer period was wide open, and all teams were also making transfer moves. **Liverpool doesn’t have a lot of money, and the team that just won the championship attaches great importance to keeping the old players in the team. It's not that big.After signing Figo and buying Reina, Maicon, Sissoko and others, the transfer fee for this year is almost not much, and naturally there will be no amazing handwriting.

And several other Premier League teams are doing similar work of tinkering.

There are many people who have been rumored to have an affair with Manchester United, but the main player who actually bought it, except for an old goalkeeper Van der Sar, there is no one.Although it is rumored that Manchester United is not low in interest in Lyon's Essien and Bayern's Ballack, but Lyon's asking price is not low, and Bayern has not yet been reduced to relying on selling people to survive. There is also no possibility of a transaction.

After arguing for a long time, there were rumors that they had an affair with the Korean Park Ji-sung.It is said that after Zhao Yaning moved to Liverpool, China began to consider buying the broadcasting rights of the Premier League again, and Liverpool's popularity in China has greatly increased, which also makes Manchester United, which has always valued the Far East market, a little anxious.Dong Fangzhuo had been given up by Manchester United after rumors of his bad style in the national team. At this time, they also began to contact South Korea's leading star Park Ji-sung, hoping to buy him.This deal can only be regarded as a patchwork transfer. Manchester United is betting on the growth of Ronaldinho and Rooney, as well as the transformation of old players.

"It seems that the Glazer family may not be as rich as we thought..."[

After the English media discovered that Glazer did not invest like Abramovich, they began to criticize the investor.After all, in everyone's opinion, as an American owner, it's okay to not know how to play football, but if you don't have money, then it's your fault.

And those who have no money were scolded, and the transfer of Chelsea, who was rich, also encountered a lot of ashes.

The few signings they proposed also encountered a lot of trouble.For Liverpool, it is naturally impossible for Gerrard to leave, and after Arsenal promised a high salary extension, Ashley Cole also decided to stay with the team.Except for Wright Phillips' transfer resistance, the other few transfers were not very successful because they were faced with the internal excavation of the Premier League and the difficulty was not small.

Moreover, this summer, they had a fierce quarrel with Manchester United because of the introduction of Nigerian player Mikel.This midfielder, known as Nigeria's Zidane, showed an amazing talent during the World Youth Championship.After the game, the player who had already signed a letter of intent with Manchester United turned to Chelsea under the temptation of Chelsea. For this reason, Manchester United took Chelsea to court. The players quarrel.

And the player finally expressed his attitude, "I was forced to sign for Manchester United. I have been a Chelsea fan since two years ago. I am eager to play here. When I signed for Manchester United, I felt that my life was in trouble. bottomed out..."

With such an attitude, Manchester United will naturally not introduce him again.In the end, Chelsea paid 1200 million to Manchester United and 400 million to Mikel's old club, which is considered to have completed the deal.However, from Chelsea's point of view, this signing is only a preparation for Makelele's retirement in the future. The main player they really want to introduce is Michael Essien who plays for Lyon.

In the process of introducing Essien, they also encountered a lot of trouble.Because Essien was picked up by Manchester United and Chelsea at the same time, Aulas was also up for sale, and he refused to let him go easily.And Lyon has done well in the past few years, the Ligue [-] champion has won, and the Champions League has entered the quarterfinals for two consecutive years. Although it is still not as good as a team like Chelsea, everyone has no history to speak of, and no one should laugh at anyone. , In terms of confidence in the negotiations, Lyon did not lose to Chelsea. When Chelsea proposed signings, in the eyes of the ambitious Aulas, this deal was not a strong team looking for a weak team to buy, but a strong team. deal between.In recent years, Lyon has won more league titles than Chelsea, and the UEFA Champions League has also made eight consecutive semi-finals, which is not much worse than Chelsea in the semi-finals. Aulas feels that this is an equal deal between clubs.What's more, with Manchester United watching from the side, they may not necessarily be sold to Chelsea.

However, Chelsea, which has always been known as being generous, is always penny-pinching in this deal, not only refusing to give generously, but also exerting pressure in various ways through the media.

Such a thing had nothing to do with Zhao Yaning, but in England, the media can still think of it.

"Chelsea bought Essien to deal with Zhao Yaning."

quickly,

For example, the three young men in France's 87 class, Ben Arfa, Nasri, and Menez, are all considered to be close to Zhao Yaning's type.And Brazil's Robinho, and Messi, who became famous in the World Youth Championship, are called the South American version of Zhao Yaning after they played well.

Even in England, there is Southampton's Walcott, who is regarded as Zhao Yaning's type because of his speed and being a Liverpool fan. The price was too high and no agreement was reached.

Now he can be regarded as a famous star.Naturally, the people who deal with him can't be bad.In addition to Essien, it is said that Barack, who was pursued by Manchester United and Chelsea at the same time, was also aimed at guarding against Zhao Yaning.

It's just that Barak's attitude is still unclear.There is only one year left in his contract. It stands to reason that it should be time to renew the contract with the club. If he does not renew the contract, it is time to sell it.However, Barak's attitude has always been ambiguous.Every time he met the media and faced the fans, he would pat his chest and promise that he would stay in the team and contribute everything to Bayern, but when he turned his head and talked about the renewal of the contract, he kept avoiding it. , under repeated pressure from Bayern, said that the contract would be renewed after three months.

It’s a shame to say this: after three months, the transfer market will be closed. At that time, there is only half a year’s contract left, and it will not be sold. The contract is rotten.However, at this time, Bayern can't afford to gamble.Ballack is too important to Bayern, and selling him is tantamount to a complete rebuild.Moreover, he also vowed to renew his contract. If Bayern sells him at this time, it will become Bayern's initiative to abandon him, and the fans will definitely not agree.Moreover, on the eve of the World Cup, they voluntarily abandoned the top player in the national team. After all, Bayern is a German team, and they dare not play such a wicked game.

Although he knows that an agreement cannot be reached now, it is likely to lead to his free transfer next year, but Bayern can only admit that this is bad luck.What they are looking forward to now is that Ballack's integrity and character will be better, and he will really renew his contract after three months.

And Ballack's attitude made both Manchester United and Chelsea come back, and their lineup changes are not too big.

However, when others were bringing in midfielders one after another, Arsenal's transfer seemed extremely unusual and extremely sensational.

At the beginning of the season, they first spent tens of millions of money to introduce Hleb from Stuttgart.Originally, everyone thought that Arsenal was going to do a big job. As a result, they immediately sold Vieira to Juventus.This decision to sell people caused a sensation in the Premier League. What would Arsenal look like without Vieira?Such a thing is simply unimaginable.

"I was sitting at home when I suddenly got a call. I don't know why the team sold me. It makes no sense!"

When Vieira was interviewed by the French media, he was still filled with righteous indignation.This summer, he has been honeymooning in France, but suddenly, he received a call from Wenger, telling him that Arsenal no longer needed him and sold him, which made him feel that everything was changing suddenly It's gone.

"I know Mr Arsene Wenger wants to replace me with that young man. He's a good player, very good, talented. But to replace me now? It's too early."

With the complaints, people also understand one thing: the Premier League has ended an era.

Keane is getting old, Vieira is leaving, and the era when Manchester United and Arsenal competed for glory has passed.The recovery of Liverpool, the rise of Chelsea, and the Premier League will usher in a new era.
