Chapter 345 Goodbye xia, he’s gone
In the summer of 2016, the Premier League welcomed several world-class coaches.
Mourinho!
Guardiola!
Conte!
The three of them have taken charge of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea respectively, and they are about to create a new pattern in the Premier League in the new season.
But bringing in a super coach is enough to show the team's ambition.
So in that summer, their investment was naturally not unreasonable.
Manchester City, as the representative of the rich in the new era, spends a lot of money!
220 million euros, a meeting gift from a rich boss to Guardiola!
The current Manchester City is already at the top level, but it is not as good as Guardiola.
They do have the ability to compete for the Premier League championship, but they are far from the Champions League championship.
Demand continues to grow!
Stones, 55.6 million euros!
Sawai, 50 million euros!
Jesus, 32 million euros!
Gundogan, 27 million euros!
Bravo, 18 million euros!
Nolito, 18 million euros!
Those famous names are all in Diora's pocket!
There is Moreno worth 5.5 million, Rulli worth 4.7 million, Zinchenko worth 2 million...
Guardiola spends a lot of money to buy a new team!
Among those players, there are powerful stars in their prime, as well as young football talents.
For example, the Brazilian teenager Jesus, not to mention the talented forward that Guardiola has been eyeing for a long time.
The Times commented on Guardiola's transfer: "Is this a long-term plan? It is obvious that Guardiola does not use Manchester City as a springboard. He intends to build a new blue dynasty in the Premier League."
Compared to Guardiola's future plans, Mourinho is more focused on the future.
As early as before the season was over, he had already signed a coaching agreement with Manchester United.
Because of that incident, both Van Gaal and Mourinho were very dissatisfied with Manchester United and their previous departures were also unhappy.
But Mourinho has no interest in taking care of that, he just focuses on being the boss.
What does Manchester United lack now?
There is a lack of a good center, a lack of midfield organizers, a lack of wing sharpshooters, and a lack of stable defenders.
Today's Manchester United has long since lost its all-powerful Premier League dominance during the Ferguson era. They have experienced three seasons of sluggishness and are in urgent need of change and a return to the top.
The board of directors was not stingy and gave Mourinho great power, allowing him to buy whoever he wanted.
Mourinho's first transfer after joining Manchester United turned out to be a zero-price transfer.
Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic came on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain!
That transfer didn't cost Manchester United a penny!
Is that entirely due to Mourinho’s charisma?
The two had a deep friendship during their time at Inter Milan, and they still have a deep friendship now.
The second transfer is not a player that Mourinho has always been optimistic about.
Borussia Dortmund's winger Mkhitaryan joined Manchester United for 42 million euros.
That transfer was considered a heavyweight signing.
Mourinho publicly stated: "Mkhitaryan is not Manchester United's new Giggs!"
That rating is not low.
The third player is naturally the Portuguese's favorite defensive player.
Bailly, a black man, joined from Villarreal and cost Manchester United 38 million euros.
That deal was a bargain. Compared to Manchester City's starting price of 50 million for the defender, Bailly was very cost-effective.
Bailly was occasionally injured when playing in La Liga, and Mourinho must seek some physical strength and protection, otherwise it will be difficult to fulfill his talent.
The fourth transfer directly set a record for the La Liga transfer window!
105 million, Pogba!
The return of the talented French midfielder is quite dramatic.
He was once a member of Manchester United, but because of his high contract requirements, he was very dissatisfied with Ferguson. He was directly abandoned by the stubborn Ferguson.
Unexpectedly, after joining Juventus, he quickly grew into the world's top midfielder.
With a net worth of over 100 million, he has become one of the best midfielders of his era.
His joining made Manchester United secretly laughed at by many people.
If Yong Tong spends over 100 million to buy back the person he let go, wouldn't that be taken advantage of?
But Mourinho doesn't care.
Manchester United's midfield currently lacks agility and organization and needs a talented midfielder like Pogba to take over.
With four players joining, Manchester United has become stronger.
That summer, Manchester City and Manchester City spent a lot of money and started an arms race in the city.
Manchester is turbulent, and the city of London is also bustling.
Blues Chelsea have welcomed new coach Conte, and their rich boss Roman Abramovich naturally supports him fully.
120 million euros was not their transfer expenditure that summer.
39 million euros were spent to introduce Marseille forward Michy Batshuayi, 35.8 million euros were spent to sign Leicester City midfielder Kante, 38.5 million euros were spent to bring Paris defender David Luiz, and 23 million euros were spent to buy Fiorentina winger Marcos.
·Alonso…
Each transfer transaction is very wrong, and the age of the new players is not in the prime age.
The top three teams in the Premier League have all changed their coaches and are getting ready for the new season.
As a veteran coach, Wenger also spent a lot of money this season and even set a record for the team's summer transfer spending.
45 million euros were spent to introduce Xhaka, 40 million euros were spent to buy Mustafi, 20 million euros were spent to sign Lucas Perez, and 4 million euros were spent to buy monthly player Takuma Asano...
The total transfer fee was more than 100 million euros, and Wenger spent all his money that summer.
Other strong players also have in-depth recruitment.
That summer the Premier League was still the richest league.
While many strong teams have introduced strong reinforcements, one team is a little sad.
Then no Leicester City.
As the defending Premier League champion this season and the all-powerful five-time European champion, Leicester City simply stole the show this season.
But also because of this, they had the illusion that many wealthy families were eyeing them that summer.
Countless players were poached, which made it difficult for Leicester City to resist.
What's wrong with Leicester City is that the treatment and prospects they can provide to their players are limited and cannot be compared with top clubs.
And through that miraculous season of winning five championships, it was a good opportunity for them to leave the team and seek better prospects.
Such as Kanter.
Although it has only been a year since he joined the team, Nokanter has already proven his strength.
Not only did he become the perfect defensive core for Leicester City's miracle, but he was also selected for the French national team with his outstanding performance.
Now he has been recognized as the world's number one defensive midfielder in the future.
Therefore, during Chelsea's poaching, Kanter sincerely discussed with the club and proposed the idea of leaving the team.
The club respected his ideas before.
When the transfer fee was enough to match his worth, Leicester City regretfully let go of their world-class midfielder.
Without Kante, the integrity of Leicester City's lineup for the new season will be severely damaged.
When Kante left Leicester City, the players were on vacation and he had no time to say goodbye to his teammates.
I sent a farewell message to everyone sincerely.
Xia Xing's demonstration sounded, and Kanter's name appeared.
"Goodbye xia, he's gone."
