The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 521 Dream Theater

Ricardo and Cristiano Ronaldo exchanged clubs, which is the most explosive news in this transfer window, and it is also the most important transaction.

According to Sky Sports, Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer fee reached 8000 million euros, tying Ronaldo's transfer record that year.

Ricardo's transfer fee was as high as 1.4 million euros, which was the first time in the world that there was a transfer of more than [-] million euros, which shocked people's attention.

But if you think about it carefully, this transfer fee is also reasonable.

Robinho's transfer to Manchester City is as high as 4200 million euros.

The transfer fee of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not won the Ballon d'Or, reached 8000 million euros.

Younger than them, Li Kaduo, who has been Mr. Double for three consecutive years, is worth 3 million, which is by no means expensive.

Take a look at Ricardo's incredible statistics last season. Such a player can be bought for 1.4 million, and Ferguson should be secretly laughing.

The transfer of Ricardo and Ronaldo also triggered a series of market fluctuations.

Real Madrid rebuilt the team around Ronaldo, introduced Harvey Alonso for 3500 million euros, bought Benzema for 3500 million euros, bought Arbeloa and Albiol, and sold Robben and Stanley Ned, Huntelaar and others, the team had a big earthquake.

Barcelona was shocked by Real Madrid's big money, bought Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan unnecessarily, and sent Eto'o to Inter Milan as an extra.

After selling Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Inter Milan introduced Milito, Sneijder, Lucio, Motta...the strength has been greatly improved in the short term.

Local tycoons Manchester City are still poaching corners. Stimulated by the big signings of their rivals in the same city, they bought Adebayor, Tevez, Lescott, Santa Cruz, Colo Touré, and Barry with a lot of money.

As for Manchester United, they were cash-strapped after buying Ricardo. Although Tevez's transfer made up for some losses for them, they still couldn't continue to make big purchases.

But Mr. Ferguson also said: "Ricardo is here, that's enough. The strongest is already in the formation, we don't need to continue to reinforce."

Despite what he said, Manchester United made a few transfers a little bit, with Diouf, Pogba and Owen joining for free, and also buying McGinty, Obertain and Valencia.The most expensive is Valencia, which only cost 1700 million euros.

But no one thinks that Manchester United's strength has declined this season.

As long as Ricardo is healthy, he can bring at least 60-70 goals in a season, which can fully make up for the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez leaving the team!

When Ricardo came to the Carrington training base to participate in the first training session, he was warmly welcomed by the locker room.

Captain Gary Neville admired Ricardo very much and spoke very politely, and said that he would entertain Ricardo on behalf of the whole team in the evening.

The top star Rooney also took the initiative to chat with Ricardo, and said with a smile: "I gave up the No. 10 jersey on my own initiative. I think you are more worthy of this number than me." He himself took over the one left by Ronaldo. No. 7 jersey, in fact, No. 7 has a special meaning in Manchester United, and is more respected by fans than No. 10. He did not suffer.

Two days after Ricardo joined the team, Ronaldo finally announced his transfer. He joined Manchester United for free and will compete with Rooney, Owen, Berbatov, Diouf and others for the main position.Although Berbatov offered to give up the No. 2 jersey, he refused. He will choose the No. 9 jersey in the new season.
After all, Ronaldo is the current football champion, and his joining also caused a sensation. For a while, the Carrington training base was overcrowded, and the players all came to ask for the football champion's autograph.

The joining of Ricardo and Ronaldo also brought the hot sales of Manchester United jerseys.

It is estimated that the sale of Ricardo's No. 10 jersey alone will bring Manchester United a profit of more than 6000 million euros within six months.Manchester United's purchase of him will not only benefit from the competitive level, but also help Manchester United economically.

Among other things, the various sponsorship expenses alone will reach a new height after the joining of the brothers Ricardo and Ronaldo, which is likely to be 40% higher than last season.

The Glaze family did not ignore the value of Ricardo and Ronaldo, and they quickly let Ferguson pull the team to Asia and the United States for a round, and crazily sucked up a wave of gold.

It also makes the team a little tired.

However, in the Community Shield match, they still defeated Chelsea 3:0 and won the first championship of the new season.Both Ricardo and Ronaldo made their first official appearances for United, with Ricardo scoring twice and Ronaldo providing an assist.

The two have conquered discerning Red Devils fans since their debut.

Ricardo seems to need no adaptation period at all, and seamlessly joined the team.

And Mr. Ferguson also gave Ricardo enough trust, and directly gave Ricardo a core position.

In Manchester United's 4231 lineup in the new season, Ricardo is the main left winger who can't be beaten, while Ronaldo and Rooney take turns starting.Ronaldo's state has picked up, and his scoring efficiency has been greatly improved compared to last season.

Although Ricardo's state is not as crazy as last season, he is still good enough to be worthy of the title of Mr. Double Material.

Manchester United played a wave of 9 consecutive victories in the league and achieved the best start in history.And the opponents they defeated also included not weak teams like Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester City.

Among them, the 4:1 home sweep of Arsenal and the 6:3 home defeat of Manchester City are all classics.

Ricardo scored 9 goals in 14 rounds of the league, ranking first in the scorer list, and became the best player in the Premier League in August and September consecutively.

The old man gave him unlimited shooting rights, and Ricardo did not abuse this power. In 9 rounds, he only shot 37 times, averaging only 4 shots per game, but his shot conversion rate was very high.

He is still happy to feed Ronaldo. When Ronaldo played, he was in an excellent position many times but did not shoot himself, but passed the ball to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo started 4 times, played 2 times as a substitute, and scored 4 goals.

In the Champions League, Manchester United also made great strides. They were grouped with CSKA Moscow, Wolfsburg and Besiktas. Manchester United maintained a complete victory in the first 3 games of the group, scored 8 goals without conceding a goal, and ranked first in the group first name.

Manchester United said: "The Theater of Dreams played 'Ricardo's song' and in just 13 games he had Red Devils fans writing songs for him."

The Times said: "Ricciardo showed the demeanor of the world's best footballer. He quickly became the core of Manchester United's attack. Manchester United fans no longer miss Cristiano Ronaldo."

The Sun newspaper took another approach: "Mr. 1.4 million quickly bought a mansion worth 370 million pounds in Manchester, and a female student at the University of Manchester was seen by reporters frequently entering and leaving this mansion. See Mr. 1.4 million has a new love again, and the stadium is also very happy. It is reported that he bought a Manchester United season ticket for the female student and gave the female student an Aston Martin."
