Chapter 673 Inheritance of old and new ball champions? !

In the final of the 2008 Club World Cup, Manchester United defeated the University of Quito from Ecuador 1-0, defending the championship of the Club World Cup and standing on the top of the world again.

Rooney scored the only goal for Manchester United. After the little fat man scored, he undressed excitedly to celebrate, revealing the words written inside the jersey, "Get well soon, Lee!"

At that time, Li Rui was watching the game in the hospital bed, and he was also moved when he saw the little fat man doing this.However, Rooney's undressing celebration still had sequelae. He was shown a yellow card by the referee on duty for this game. Since the red and yellow cards of the Club World Cup are included in the UEFA Champions League, in this case, because he was in the Champions League before. In the middle of the card, Rooney will also miss one-eighth of Manchester United's away game against Inter Milan because of accumulated yellow cards.

***********
After the game, Li Rui called the head coach Ferguson to congratulate the team on winning the championship.

After receiving the congratulatory call from Li Rui, Ferguson seemed very happy. He asked about Li Rui's recovery. For some reason, the old Scottish man talked with Li Rui on the phone about Cantona, another legendary star of the Manchester United team.This made Li Rui a little confused.

Afterwards, Li Rui called Rooney again, and the little fat man told Li Rui with an aggrieved face that he had received a yellow card for 'showing love' to Li Rui, but he was criticized by the head coach Ferguson. Even though the sound came through electromagnetic waves, it still gave Li Rui goose bumps all over his body, and he felt an urge to strangle this kid to death.

************
That was when Li Rui was still on the hospital bed at the London Business School. Jessica was watching the game with Li Rui. The door of the hospital bed opened, and Li Rui saw a beautiful figure walking in. It was Tang Zhaoer.

His facial expression changed a few times, he calmed down his excitement, and the calmness of what he said surprised him. However, Li Rui knew that his heart was full of waves.

The two seem to be friends who haven't seen each other for many years. One day, they suddenly learned about each other's news, and a long-planned reunion was unremarkable.

Tang Zhaoer greeted Li Rui briefly, leaving behind a bouquet of flowers and a faint scent of Chanel No. 4 perfume. She used the same perfume as Jessica.

When this oriental girl appeared, Jessica acted very decently. She didn't ask Li Rui what kind of relationship she had with this girl, nor did she show any temper. She even exchanged phone numbers with Tang Zhaoer.

***********
After Tang Zhaoer left, Jessica looked at Li Rui tenderly, and Li Rui smiled and said, "The ex-girlfriend, the one before you." Then he waited to answer Jessica's question or get angry.

Unexpectedly, Jessica smiled and lay comfortably on Li Rui's chest, "She should still be a virgin, I'm very happy."

Li Rui was speechless for a while. He wanted to ask Jessica how he could see it, but he couldn't open his mouth. However, his heart was also churning. So, Tang Zhaoer came here all these years by himself?
However, no matter what, Li Rui let go of his worries. What happened today was so strange and so ordinary. Jessica seemed to be having a good time talking with Tang Zhaoer. Although Li Rui felt strange, he was very smart. , ignore the matter between the two women.

***********
After the operation on his right leg, Li Rui lay on the hospital bed for another week or so after seeking advice from experts. Christmas is coming, and Li Rui does not want to spend the holidays in the hospital. The doctor examined him After the body, he agreed, but the doctor said that he must sit in a wheelchair for at least a month from now.

This is Li Rui's happiest Christmas in the UK. Both his parents are in Manchester, and Jessica is by his side, especially when he looks at his toddler son who looks like a grown-up. full of happiness.Of course, the only regret is that he is still a wounded person and can only sit in a wheelchair.

Although the winter in London is not very cold, but because of the blizzard weather throughout Europe this year, it makes this winter look different.Tang Zhaoer was wearing an orange down jacket with a lapel collar, a pair of blue jeans and black short boots on her lower body, which gave Li Rui the illusion that Tang Zhaoer was still the same as she was a few years ago, so lively, so energetic, and so beautiful.

He also didn't expect that after the two met again, they would be so peaceful with each other.

***********
"This should be the most relaxing Christmas I've ever had in the past few years." Li Rui said with a sigh.The thought of watching the game in front of the TV in a wheelchair while the team is playing for the Devil's Christmas schedule makes him sick.

Jessica was playing ball with her son, and Li Haisheng and Zhang Huifen were also teasing their grandson there, looking happy and harmonious.

Tang Zhao'er smiled and didn't say anything. If she could be like this, would she be accepted by Li Rui's family?When the two really met each other, Tang Zhaoer hid the hotness deep in her heart, maintained the current light atmosphere, and gradually liked the atmosphere.Don't want to spoil it.

***********
Jessica kicked the football lightly, and her son swayed and giggled and chased after the football. Li Rui looked at Little Jack, his eyes were full of love, "My son will definitely play football better in the future." I'm much better."

Tang Zhaoer said with a smile, "If that's the case, now the major giants will start to compete." She told Li Rui that her current job is a special reporter for a certain domestic media in the UK, and she also wanted to interview Li Rui this time. For this reason, both of them knew that it was not the case, but they both thought that.

Regarding the meeting with Tang Zhaoer again, to be honest, Li Rui didn't have too many thoughts. For him, that period of young first love is in the past. It is impossible for him and Tang Zhaoer to have any more stories. People's identities are very special, Tang Zhao'er's family background destined her to be unrestrained, and Li Rui didn't want to put new colors on that youthful memory.

***********
Li Rui picked up the ball with his uninjured left foot, and then kicked it to his son. The little guy didn't catch it all at once, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Tang Zhaoer hugged her, and Jessica came over and gave Li Rui a look. I have been observing Li Rui and Tang Zhaoer these days. Jessica is a smart woman. The girlfriend broke contact and had no relationship, and it seemed that the two of them didn't seem to want to rekindle their old relationship, so they were a little relieved.

At this moment, looking at her husband and son, Jessica suddenly felt that she still had to work hard in Hollywood, but her dream of competing for an Oscar might not be what she really wanted.

***********
On January 2009th, 1, the Premier League was still in full swing, and Manchester United also started their journey to the FA Cup this season. Li Rui, who was still recovering from his injuries, took a private jet from Manchester to Zurich, Switzerland to participate in the selection of this year's World Footballer of the Year.

If he can win the World Footballer of the Year award, he will continue to be the World Footballer of the Year. Of course, before Li Rui, there are several superstars who have won the World Footballer of the Year award. The closest is Ronaldinho. gentlemen.

However, since FIFA established the World Player of the Year selection in 1991, no player has been able to win this award for three consecutive years.Therefore, while the English media are looking forward to Li Rui being awarded the World Footballer of the Year for the second consecutive year, they are also looking forward to Li Rui's early return from injury and continued outstanding performance, hoping to be awarded the World Footballer of the Year next year. Award, standing on the highest podium of personal honor for three consecutive years.

Previously, in history, only Zidane and Ronaldo have won the World Footballer of the Year three times, but they are not consecutive.Ronaldinho almost won the World Footballer of the Year for the third time in 2006, but that year, the final World Footballer of the Year winner was Italian national team captain Cannavaro.

***********
Different from the Ballon d'Or selection of "French Football", the World Footballer selection is voted by the coaches and captains of the national teams of more than 190 member countries of FIFA.

The "Times" further revealed that the votes for the World Player of the Year have been counted, but FIFA does not want to announce the list of winners in advance for commercial development purposes. On January 1, they will hold an award ceremony at the Zurich Grand Theater in Switzerland to announce this year's World Footballer of the Year winner.And "The Times" firmly believes that Li Rui will be the winner of the World Footballer of the Year award, and there will be no surprises!

***********
The "Times" and the English media insisted that Li Rui had already embraced the World Footballer of the Year award in advance, but the Spanish media did not think so.

Li Rui successfully defended the UEFA Champions League title by helping Manchester United create history in the UEFA Champions League last season. In addition, in the European Cup last summer, Li Rui was also the first time in England's history to win the Delaunay The biggest contributor to the inner cup.

The selection of the World Footballer of the Year.Li Rui, who won the Champions League and the European Cup, is undoubtedly the most popular candidate.

***********
However, with Li Rui's serious injury and the downturn at the beginning of the new season, this also gave hope to the Spanish media, especially the Catalan media, who began to build momentum for Barcelona's Argentine star Messi.

Messi's performance last season was also amazing. He led Barcelona all the way to the European Champions Cup final, but unfortunately lost to Manchester United with Li Rui as the core. However, for this 21-year-old teenager, this season is also perfect .

After the start of the 2008-2009 season, Messi has been in good form all the way, leading Barcelona to victory in the league, the UEFA Champions League, and the Copa del Rey.

***********
This made the Spanish media see a glimmer of hope for Messi to compete for the World Footballer. If Li Rui was not seriously injured, there would be almost no suspense in the selection of the World Footballer. However, with Li Rui's serious injury and Li Rui's 2008 -The performance in the first half of the 2009 season was indeed worse than that of Messi. The Catalan media was very excited. They began to hype that the selection of the World Footballer should take into account the performance of a player for a whole year, and Messi in this year The overall performance is more stable than that of Li Rui.

"World Sports Daily" commented that Messi's performance in the second half of 2008 far surpassed that of Li Rui, and the Argentine boy is Maradona's successor, and said that the selection of the World Footballer was held in early December of the previous year and was postponed. Held until January of the New Year.It is to examine the record of the stars throughout the year, and Messi's overall performance throughout the year is more stable than Li Rui.

***********
In this regard, the English media responded, and the "BBC" directly replied, did Messi help Argentina or Barcelona win any championships last year?
Messi also helped the Argentine team win a championship last year, that is, the gold medal in the 2008 BJ Olympics. However, the Olympic football game has always been considered a tasteless event and has not attracted the attention of mainstream European football.The Spanish media is ashamed to mention it.

However, no matter what, the Spanish media’s promotion of Messi still gave people new expectations for the FIFA Awards Ceremony on January 1. After all, it was the same as the situation where Li Rui almost booked the World Footballer of the Year. Than, with a little bit of suspense, it is more attractive.

***********
The "Sun", which has always been not on good terms with Li Rui, also stood on Li Rui's side this time. They said:

Because of the existence of Li Rui, Manchester United has become the most dazzling team in Europe. This is also the reason why the Premier League has completely suppressed La Liga and Serie A in these two seasons. Under the leadership of Li Rui, Manchester United has become the first defending team after the restructuring of the Champions League. In addition, Li Rui also helped the England team win the Delaunay Cup for the first time in history and stood on the top of Europe.Li Rui has won the European Ballon d'Or for the highest scoring record before, and we don't see any possibility that Li Rui will not be able to win the World Footballer of the Year.

"The Times" also praised Li Rui, "Messi's performance is very good, and Cristiano Ronaldo also contributed to Manchester United's defense of the UEFA Champions League. However, Li Rui's performance last year In comparison, what they have done is clearly far behind."

At this time, England national team coach Mourinho also stood up and publicly expressed his support for Li Rui: "Li Rui is a player who will never imagine what crazy moves he will make next. He is great enough! He He is an extraordinary talent, he must be the World Footballer of the Year!"

***********
The Portuguese media didn't know what to think, and they also started to hype. The target of their hype was Cristiano Ronaldo. They believed that Manchester United's No. 7 also had a chance to win the World Player of the Year. However, almost everyone could understand that this time, Cristiano Ronaldo is still only destined to accompany the prince to study.

If you have to say that Cristiano Ronaldo has any chance, it will be next year. Li Rui is seriously injured. If you are not optimistic, you will have to rest for half a year. Cristiano Ronaldo has recovered from his injury. The case is the perfect candidate for the new offensive core, and this is Cristiano Ronaldo's chance.

In addition, Italy's "Corriere dello Sport" made an interesting statement. "Corriere dello Sport" believes that Li Rui has won the Ouyuan Footballer of the Year before, and he has won the European Ballon d'Or for consecutive years. This is also in a sense, On the contrary, it shows that it is difficult for him to win the World Footballer of the Year. This year's World Footballer and European Footballer should be won by two people.That way it has more impact.

***********
However, as the host media of the European Golden Globe Awards, the French "Team Daily" also expressed its own views on the hype of the World Footballer of the Year. "Team Daily" believes that the reason why the media continue to hype Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi , especially the Argentine player Messi has the possibility of becoming the World Footballer because FIFA does not want the World Footballer Awards Ceremony held in Zurich to lose suspense prematurely.Suspense is the most important reason to attract fans.Once the suspense is lost, the huge fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the world may not be so eager to pay attention to this awards show.

Only by attracting enough attention is the situation that FIFA is most willing to see.

***********
On January 2009, 1, in the evening, a luxury car parked at the entrance of the red carpet of the Opera House in Zurich, Switzerland. Media reporters rushed up immediately. They had already done their homework in advance, because Li Rui was still recovering from his injuries. It is necessary to use a wheelchair to come to the award ceremony site, so FIFA also specially arranged this luxury car for Li Rui, so that Li Rui can travel.

The flashing lights flashed together, and Jessica pushed Li Rui's wheelchair on the red carpet. This is the third time for Li Rui to participate in the FIFA Awards Ceremony. He was also the winner of the World Footballer of the Year last year. Li Rui can be said to be very familiar with everything.

Sitting in a wheelchair, he greeted some FIFA and UEFA dignitaries and football celebrities from time to time.

Everyone also came up and bent down to shake hands with him, and asked about the recovery of Li Rui's right leg with concern, wishing him a speedy recovery.

***********
On the passage, Li Rui met Beckenbauer, a member of the FIFA Executive Committee.What surprised him was that Beckenbauer was about to leave for something, but when he saw Li Rui, he turned back.

Beckenbauer held Li Rui's hand and said, "Thank you for the wonderful game you dedicated to the fans."

Li Rui smiled and said, "I'm a professional player, that's my job."

Bacon Paoer patted Li Rui on the shoulder, smiled and said something that surprised Li Rui, "Bayern Munich's door is always open to you."

Li Rui was taken aback, but he still responded politely: "It is an honor to be appreciated by a team like Bayern Munich. I am very happy in Manchester now."

Beckenbauer smiled and said nothing more.

AC Milan legend Baresi, former Inter Milan coach Mancini, Barcelona chairman Laporta, Real Madrid chairman Calderon and others also warmly greeted Li Rui.

***********
As one of the candidates for Mr. World Footballer and Miss World Footballer, Li Rui was seated in the first row. Jessica was pushing a wheelchair. Marta, a candidate for Miss World Footballer, helped Jessica to support Li Rui on the seat.Marta in a low-cut evening dress made people shine, changing her image on the football field.

Messi stood up and shook hands with Li Rui, and Cristiano Ronaldo also came over and hugged Li Rui.Perhaps knowing that there is nothing to do with him today, Cristiano Ronaldo looked very relaxed, chatting with AC Milan star Kaka in a low voice from time to time, the official language of Brazilians is Portuguese, and there is no problem in the communication between the two .

The hosts of today's award ceremony are Walker, a secretary-general of FIFA, and Sylvia, the wife of Dutch star Van der Vaart. Sylvia is a famous beauty. She is wearing a lavender crow's feet low-cut evening dress. When she came on stage, she had blond hair and looked very sexy.

***********
The video on the big screen first reviewed the FIFA men's and women's football competitions and developments in the past year.

Afterwards, FIFA President Sepp Blatter and FIFA Vice President and UEFA President Michel Platini took the stage to deliver speeches.

Then, representatives of the 2010 World Cup South Africa Organizing Committee came to the stage to introduce the preparations for the World Cup in South Africa. When it got closer, Li Rui was also shocked.

***********
The football promotion award was awarded first, which is a new award this year, and the chairman of the Palestinian Football Association came to the stage to accept the award.People also gave warm applause to this old man who contributed to the development of football in war-torn Palestine.

Immediately following the awards ceremony, the first official awards announced were the Fair Play Awards.FIFA Vice President, CAF President Hayatou and FIFA Executive Committee Ozik announced that the final winners of the Fair Play Award are Turkey and Armenia.

The next award is the collective award. FIFA official Harper, FIFA president Sepp Blatter and FIFA vice president Warner appeared together. This award was finally awarded to the American women's football team. American women's football member O'Reilly accepted it on behalf of the team. awards.

***********
2008 FIFA Most Improved Award...FIFA Lifetime Achievement Award...

The winners of each award came out one by one.

Miss World Football and Mr. World Footballer are the finale. FIFA Executive Committee Beckenbauer came to the stage to present the Miss World Football Award. In this award, Brazilian female football player Marta and German female player Prinz, as well as the same Cristiane from Brazil is a favorite.

Finally, Beckenbauer announced that Marta won the Miss World Football Award in 2008. This is also the second time that Marta has won the Miss World Football award, and she has won the Miss World Football Award. Compared with the fierce competition for Mr. World Footballer, the world Miss Football's elected star is elected with an absolute advantage.

***********
After the awarding of Miss World Football, the most watched is the awarding of the World Footballer, which is also the finale of the annual FIFA Awards Ceremony.

Into the top five stars, in addition to Li Rui, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Spanish star Torres.

Among them, Kaka and Torres have the most peaceful mentality. In 2008, AC Milan's record was unsightly, and the national team had no games. He had no hope at all.As for Torres, Liverpool did not win any championships last year. He also entered the top five by virtue of his performance in the European Cup. However, Spain only entered the semi-finals, which also made Torres not very competitive.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo is also relatively calm. He knows that whether in the club or the national team, Li Rui will always overwhelm him, and he has no hope.

As the media said, Barcelona's Argentine star Messi is the only one who may pose a slight threat to Li Rui's re-election as the World Footballer of the Year.

***********
"Why didn't you join Manchester City? Otherwise, we could meet in the game." Cristiano Ronaldo joked to Kaka.

Kaka smiled and said nothing, no matter how he answered this question, he couldn't answer it well.In his heart, Kaka looked down on Manchester City. This is the reason why he did not choose Manchester City in the end. Of course, the world's number one annual salary offered by Manchester City still made Brazil's golden boy tempted. However, in the end he chose to reject Arab Regal Invitation.

Sitting next to Messi is Torres, both of whom speak Spanish, and Torres is from Atlético de Madrid. He and Messi often played against each other in La Liga before, and they are quite familiar with each other.

Torres knew that he was the most hopeless of the five, so he treated tonight's awards with a calm attitude. Torres glanced at Li Rui, whispered in Messi's ear, and said: "Tonight, you are the only one. It can have an impact on Li."

"This is all media hype." Messi maintained a relatively clear understanding, he said, "Barcelona did not win the league, lost to Manchester United in the Champions League final, I only won the Olympic gold medal, but the impact It’s too small.” Messi knows very well that the World Player of the Year is Li Rui. Li Rui has won the European Cup and the European Champions Cup. No one can match Li Rui’s performance. He knows that although his performance is very stable, However, this is not something that can be won with stable performance, it depends on the glory of the championship.

***********
In the anxious, nervous anticipation and attention of the five Footballer of the Year candidates and all the guest audience, as well as more than one billion fans around the world.

Former German football superstar Matthaus smiled and stepped onto the podium of the Zurich Opera House. As a special guest, he will announce the first step of the most suspenseful FIFA awards ceremony tonight, and read out the score No.5 and No. .4 Player names.

Mateus smiled politely, picked up a sealed envelope, and under the eyes of countless fans all over the world, Bailey tore open the envelope.Glancing at the name on the card:
No.5 is Fernando Torres from Liverpool!Congratulations to him! !

Torres stood up and bowed to everyone, feeling uncomfortable, counting down to No.1, and congratulating ass.

Afterwards, Mateus read out the name of No.4, which is the Brazilian star Kaka from AC Milan. Kaka also nodded politely to everyone. calm.

***********
Next, as tonight's biggest guest, Brazilian football king Pele slowly stepped onto the rostrum.

He took out the sealed envelope, opened it, and glanced at it. The old guy first smiled slyly, then coughed lightly, and said: "No. Manchester United's - Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Pele originally wanted to turn off everyone's appetite, but everyone knew that Li Rui could never be No.3 no matter what, so everyone ignored the self-satisfied football king.

Cristiano Ronaldo's face changed, and he immediately stood up with a smile and walked towards the rostrum. He thought he could overwhelm Messi tonight and get No.2, but he didn't expect it to be No.3.

After receiving the crystal trophy symbolizing No.3 from Sylvia, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sylvia hugged and stood on the rostrum.

***********
Afterwards, Bailey took out an envelope again. This time, everyone raised their spirits. It contained the name of No.2. Mr. Winner is also obvious.

"No.2008 in the 2 World Player of the Year selection is Argentine star Leo Andres Messi from Barcelona!! Congratulations, Messi!"

Messi sighed softly, he still responded with the sliver of expectation of being upset, when he heard that he was No.2, he was slightly regretful, Messi shook hands with Li Rui very politely, and then bowed slightly to the audience , went to the rostrum, took the No.2 crystal trophy from Sylvia's hand, and hugged Cristiano Ronaldo again.

***********
There is no suspense anymore. In fact, suspense has always been just hyped up by the media.

When Bailey called out Li Rui's name and asked him to come to the stage to receive the trophy, there was a huge applause from the audience, which was for Li Rui.

Two on-site staff helped Jessica and helped Li Rui sit on the wheelchair, and Jessica pushed the wheelchair to the podium.

Bailey smiled and bent down to hand over the "World Player of Football Trophy" to Li Rui with solemn hands, then hugged Li Rui, and said in English: "Congratulations, Li Rui."

Li Rui took the trophy and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Ball King."

Bailey chuckled and said, "Work hard, and you will become the king of the ball."

At this time, the host Sylvia came over, and she handed the microphone to Li Rui in a very graceful manner. Next, Li Rui needs to give an acceptance speech.

***********
Li Rui smiled at his wife Jessica beside him, handed the trophy to Jessica, got up slightly, bowed to the audience, sat down, and sat in a wheelchair, saying: "This is a happy moment. It feels wonderful to win this award again and again." With a chuckle, Li Rui said humorously, "Maybe, I made another history and became the player who sat in a wheelchair to receive this award."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. They admired Li Rui's ability to calmly view the serious injury. Many players were depressed or even devastated after suffering a major injury, but Li Rui was not like this. Strong, you can see confidence in Li Rui's eyes.

At this time, among the guests at the scene, Beckenbauer, Laporta, Calderon and others all showed expressions of thinking. Li Rui's optimism and strength made them appreciate Li Rui even more. This is a great A must-have quality for a player.

Li Rui went on to say, "Last year was a fantastic year. In this year, we won the club's highest honor, and the England team also won the Delaunay Cup. I think this is the biggest achievement for me to win the World Player of the Year award." The reason, here, what I want to say is that this trophy belongs not only to me, but also to my teammates. My parents, my wife and lovely children, to my friends for their help and support. Thank you all."

The audience burst into applause.

***********
The news that Li Rui won the World Footballer of the Year again became the headlines of the major media the next day. The scene of him sitting in a wheelchair, smiling confidently, and lifting the World Footballer of the Year trophy touched many fans.

After Li Rui won the European Ballon d'Or, he won the World Footballer of the Year again, which also brought Li Rui's popularity and influence to another climax.

Although he is still recuperating in a wheelchair, this will not affect Li Rui's influence in the slightest.

And at the FIFA Awards Ceremony, the old Brazilian soccer champion Pele said to Li Rui, "Work hard, and you will become the soccer champion." This sentence also aroused the madness of the media. In the eyes of everyone, this Is it the inheritance of old and new football champions?
At this time, the Glazer family was naturally the happiest. The "depreciation" of Li Rui they were worried about did not happen. However, thinking of Li Rui's unpredictable state after recovering from injury, the Yankee fell into deep thought again.

***********
After lunch, Li Rui sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV. The sports news was full of recent winter transfer news.

In the transfer market, the enthusiasm of the four giants for signings is far less intense than their desire for the championship.Although Manchester United suffered extensive injuries, the Scottish old man did not make any decent signings when Cristiano Ronaldo returned from injury. He only took in 22-year-old teenager Tosic and 17-year-old La Jajic and the 21-year-old De Lait are obviously planning for the future. These transactions are unlikely to play a big role in the championship in the second half of the season. However, Manucho, who was introduced last winter, was "given" on loan. Go to Hull City for exercise.

This season, Liverpool's record has improved later, halfway through the schedule, and now ranks first in the list. In the winter transfer market, Liverpool has performed very steadily. It also pays more and earns less. The Red Army has only introduced one new aid, and it is still The 17-year-old Parson.What made the media pay attention to the "Red Army" was that they "returned" Robbie Keane, who was introduced last summer for 2030 million pounds, to Tottenham for 1500 million pounds on the day of the trade deadline. to Portsmouth.

Chelsea, who signed the "standard king" Anelka last winter, has significantly restrained their investment this year. If it hadn't been for the "poaching" of Quaresma from Inter Milan at the last moment, only by introducing Torre (Leverkusen U19) And Mancienni (Wolfhampton) will not attract the attention of the outside world, but the departure of Bridge and Cudicini to join Manchester City and Tottenham respectively is the focus of the Blues' actions in the transfer market this winter .

In recent years, Arsenal has invested a limited amount in the transfer market, so it took a lot of trouble to buy Arshavin this time.With the Associated Press announcing the closure of the transaction, the trip was finally made after some negotiations between the three parties, and the price of 1450 million pounds has actually become the biggest deal of the four giants in the winter transfer market so far. However, this Questions remain about the legality of the deal.

***********
In this winter, the transfer market has become interesting because of Manchester City's strength.

Chelsea's Abramovich has restrained, and Manchester City's Abu Dhabi (consortium) has taken over the baton to continue to maintain the rich face of the Premier League.

Manchester City first offered a price of 1 million euros, and created a transfer soap opera of the Brazilian player Kaka who bought AC Milan. It is said that the Brazilian player was once very close to the Manchester Municipal Stadium, and the AC Milan executives also intended to facilitate this transfer. Yes, a huge amount of money was exchanged for Kaka. However, at the last moment, Kaka declined Manchester City's invitation, and Manchester City's grand plan failed.

After the failure of the acquisition of Kaka, Manchester City did not stop because of setbacks in the winter transfer market. They still spent nearly 6 million euros in the winter transfer market. Among them, De Jong introduced from Hamburg-German side The quotation is 1600 million pounds, or about 1950 million euros, and the British media estimated it to be 1830 million pounds. 1550 euros, Bridge 1300 million euros, and a goalkeeper Shay, Manchester City is also willing to spend 900 million to buy.Manchester City set off a storm of acquisitions.

After introducing Robinho at a sky-high price of 4300 million euros last summer, the Arabs still have no intention of stopping this winter.The investment of nearly 6 million means that Manchester City has become the most bleeding consumer in the European transfer market this winter. Even Real Madrid only spent 4150 million euros.

***********
There are still three days before the end of the winter transfer window, but everyone turns their attention to Manchester, where the dark tide is surging.
