Green Dragon

Chapter 756 The transfer market is a mess
2017 International Champions Cup China...

This is probably the toughest game Liverpool have played in recent years.

Long Shute started from the first second, but they still failed to beat their opponents!
"Goal battle! Liverpool's 5-5 draw with Bayern!"

"Ajax is absolutely tied with Liverpool! Long Shute can't save the savior with eight goals in a single game!"

"Captain Dragon scored hat-tricks in the first and second halves! The Red Army tied AC Milan 4-4!"

Some Liverpool fans who did not watch the live broadcast even had hallucinations after seeing the third news headline:
Damn it!Are you underestimating the level of education in our British Empire too?
The upper and lower halves staged hat-tricks respectively, so Liverpool scored at least 6 goals, right?
But why is the score only 4-4?

Don't tell me... Could it be that the dignified Long Shute scored an own goal? !
-
Apart from the high appearance fee, there is another important reason why Chelsea and Everton will agree to send a full lineup to participate in such a game.

Long Shute promised that in their game against Liverpool, he would only play 45 minutes on behalf of the Red Army.

In the other 45 minutes, he will join the opponent's lineup and fight back against Liverpool!
So these competitions, no surprise, turned into Long Shute's individual exhibition competitions!
He played 5 games in 90 cities, played 38 minutes in each game, scored a total of 7.6 goals, averaging [-] goals per game.

Since they only defeated Chelsea and Everton in the end, Liverpool only scored 9 points, ranking second in China, behind Bayern with 3 wins, 2 draws and 11 points.

This is the only runner-up trophy that Long Shute has won after joining Liverpool, but he has no shame.

On the contrary, he thinks this kind of competition... is very fun!
After two extremely successful seasons, it is indeed of great significance that I can unceremoniously teach Liverpool teammates who think they are invincible!
-
It's mid-to-late July, and more than half of the summer transfer window in Europe has already begun.

Many important signings are also close to landing.

Due to Neymar's sky-high transfer in 2016, today's player market is soaring. Any star is worth more than 4000 million. A price tag of tens of millions can be shouted!
Barcelona, ​​which fell to the ground in all competitions last season, is obviously the most impatient one.

I don't know if they burned their brains, and even made a formal offer of 1 million euros to Liverpool to acquire Salah!
Before Long Shute had time to respond, the entire football world burst into laughter.

Are you kidding me?
Coutinho sold for 1.5 million last year, but now Salah, who has scored more goals than him, only has 1 million? !
Salah is also quite tough, he directly expressed his position on the public media:
"It is not impossible for me to join Barcelona, ​​but the premise is... I want to go with Long!"

Barcelona can only smash their own fax machine with a hammer:
The current Long Ritian doesn't have 10 billion pounds, so he doesn't even dare to make an offer! -
Barcelona, ​​who failed to buy Salah, found another way. They signed French star Ousmane Dembele from Dortmund with a total price of 1.3 million euros.

In order to transfer to Barcelona, ​​Dembele, who is only 20 years old, has done everything he can.

He was late for training, he had conflicts with his teammates, he stopped training, he stopped games, he lost contact...

At the beginning, Dortmund's attitude was very tough. They even adopted the method of suspension within the team to make an example of others.

But the French teenager disappeared directly from Dortmund for two weeks!

In this way, he completely broke with the bumblebee!

If it's at Manchester United, Mourinho can make Dembele completely rotten on the bench, and even prevent him from playing for a second for three years. When the contract expires, who will know whether you are a human or a ghost?
But Dortmund can't afford such consequences. They can't waste the value of players just to show off their fighting spirit.

To some extent, this is also the difference in the background of the two clubs...

So in 2015, Real Madrid stormed De Gea for more than three months, and finally the Spanish goalkeeper was detained by the tough Van Gaal.

But Dortmund had to let go of the French teenager.
-
The same French teenager, another younger Mbappé also set a new record.

The 18-and-a-half-year-old Mbappe joined Paris Saint-Germain at a price that surpassed Dembele and Coutinho's - 1.8 euros, and successfully joined forces with Neymar, who was 2 million euros.

As for Cavani, he was sold out by Paris because of the previous penalty incident...

In the center position, Paris signed the French fellow-Oliver Giroud.
-
Real Madrid, who were defeated in Cardiff, finally left their own youth training Morata. At the same time, they also wanted to poach one of Icardi and Dybala to strengthen their offensive firepower in the midfield.

But maybe it was because their midfield was overcrowded, maybe...it was just that the two Argentine internationals were reminded by a teammate of the national team, and Real Madrid still failed in the end.

Not only did they fail to recruit fresh blood, but they also had to let go of a general, Colombian football king Ronaldo-he was loaned out by Bayern.

In addition, Real Madrid bought defender Teo Hernandez for 3000 million and midfielder Dani Sabalos for 1300 million, cleaning up a large number of old players such as Danilo, Pepe and Coentrao. Will, get ready for the new season.
-
The action on Barcelona's side is much bigger.

In addition to Dembele, they also used 4000 million to poach midfielder Paulinho from the Chinese Super League giants Evergrande, bought Semedo from Benfica for 3000 million, and repurchased their own youth training Deulofer from Everton for 1200 million. Wu, the net investment is close to [-] million!
The little money I got from selling Neymar... I've already spent all my shit! -
Since Morata did not leave, but the original striker Diego Costa insisted on leaving, then Chelsea had to buy a replacement.

Their original goal was Everton's Belgian striker Lukaku, who also intends to return to the Blues, but Manchester United, who has the nickname of "Price Raising United", has become a branch and used Wayne Rooney + cash to snatch the "new player". Warcraft".

Conte could only shake his head and sigh, and then accept Mourinho's provocation.

After all, compared to burning money, Chelsea today is really no match for the reckless Manchester United...

Chelsea could only settle for the next best thing and bought Lukaku's competitor in the national team-"King Kong in the Cloud" Benteke from Liverpool.

As Liverpool's frontcourt combination becomes more and more tacit, Benteke, who is outstanding in height but lacks sufficient skills and awareness, obviously cannot squeeze out Firmino's position, plus Sturridge, Origi, Ince, etc. Rivals were equally eager to play and he had to seek a transfer.

For this teammate who played side by side for two seasons, Long Shute did not make things too difficult. Chelsea paid 3000 million pounds, and Liverpool let him go directly. The whole process can be called smooth.

On the defensive line, Sacco and Moreno also chose to leave. It is really difficult for them to get a stable starting position in this team. The former returned to Ligue [-], while the latter returned to La Liga, which are the leagues they are most familiar with. .

Reliable defenders are not easy to buy, but Liverpool today have no such worries.

Now they only need to beckon in the transfer market, and naturally a large number of players will come to watch!

money?
Liverpool, which has just raised a large amount of funds through the listing, has plenty of money!

honor?

As you may not have heard, the Liverpool captains have announced their goals for the 2017-18 season.

They want to continue to win all the championships!
