1289 Pre-emptive
Over the years, Yang Yang has always had a habit of not being disturbed by the outside world during vacation. He hopes to have a wonderful vacation where he can accompany his family wholeheartedly, and those who are familiar with him know this.
So, generally speaking, Yang Yang will try his best to handle things before taking a safe vacation before starting a safe vacation.
Until early July, from Switzerland, Austria to Croatia, Yang Yang took his family to enjoy a relaxing and pleasant European holiday. After sending his family and relatives back to China, Su Ye and Xiao Yang Guang also followed him back, and Yang Yang returned alone.
In the next period of time, Real Madrid will start pre-season training. According to Real Madrid's plan, the training time will start on July 13. However, Real Madrid's warm-up match this summer is not in Madrid, but in Melbourne, Australia. It will then go to Asia and China for a tour warm-up match, and finally return to Europe.
Anyway, Yang Yang will be busy with training during the next period of time and basically won’t have home, so Su Ye took his son back to China to live for a while, and then they will return to Europe with Real Madrid at the same time.
And when Yang Yang returned to Madrid, various news from European football also surged over like a tide.

This summer, the team that invested the most in the Spanish transfer market was a bit surprising. It turned out to be Valencia, which has always been poor in finance. This team that has just returned to the Champions League, directly invested over 100 million euros as soon as the transfer market opened.
Among them, the biggest brand is the introduction of former Real Madrid youth training center Negredo from Manchester City. The transfer cost Valencia 30 million euros, and the buying out Spanish striker Rodrigo also cost 30 million euros. In addition to players such as Andre Gomez, Cancelo, Rodriguez and Mina, the Bats are bleeding.
As investment increases, the overall strength naturally increases.
Whether it is Negredo, Rodrigo, or other players, Valencia's signings are very targeted, and the players who have introduced have proven their strength. Rodriguez and Andre Gomez both played on loan to Valencia for one season last season.
It can be predicted that the strength of the Bat Legion in the new season is obviously improved.
In addition to Valencia, another team that has invested heavily is Atletico Madrid.
The Bedsheets failed to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona again last season, and lost a lot of players this summer.
Alda Turan transferred to Barcelona, Mandzukichi went to Juventus, Aldrevild went to Tottenham Hotspur, Mario Suarez went to Fiorentina, main center back Miranda went to Inter Milan, and important substitute Raul Garcia went to Athletic Bilbao...
All of these have greatly affected Atletico Madrid's strength, but Simeone's team also received generous transfer fees and moved to the transfer market.
35 million euros were introduced to Jackson Martinez from Porto, 25 million euros were introduced to Savage from Florence, 20 million euros were introduced to Carrasco from Monaco, 20 million euros were introduced to Vietto from Villarrell, 16 million euros were bought back Felipe from Chelsea, and 10 million euros were introduced to Bernard Mensa from Guimares, 10 million euros were introduced to Portugal Super League Guimares...
Judging from Atletico Madrid's transfer and transfer, the bed sheet army has been very disturbing this summer, and its personnel have changed a lot. Although the overall strength is still there, it is not clear whether it can regroup.
But with Simeone's coaching ability and the shrewdness of Atletico Madrid's management, I believe there is still a lot to do.

Compared with the two giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, the top players in the Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A have basically invested a lot, and they obviously hope to increase their investment, improve their team's strength, and challenge Real Madrid's dominance.
Manchester City spent 50 million pounds to introduce local rookie Sterling from Liverpool and smashed Otamendi from Valencia for 32 million pounds. It cost more than 80 million pounds in two transfers. The Middle East local tycoons are still continuing to burn money, hoping to make a difference in the Champions League.
Compared to Manchester City's goal in the European game, Manchester United aims to reorganize.
25 million pounds were introduced to Schneiderlin from Southampton, 25 million pounds were introduced to Depp from Eindhoven, 15 million pounds were introduced to Schweinsteig from Bayern Munich, and 15 million pounds were introduced to Damian from Turin.
But what is really scary is another transfer in early July. Manchester United announced that a total value of 58 million pounds, which is converted into 80 million euros, signed 19-year-old French striker Anthony Martial from Monaco.
This French rookie, known as the new Henry, was fled to the forefront, but was favored by many teams including Paris Saint-Germain. The Red Devils eventually paid an extremely painful price. The transfer fee and additional terms were worth 80 million euros, and they bought the young player.
Overnight, the whole world was shocked. All media and fans were suspicious of this transfer. Even within European football, they were suspicious of Manchester United's transfer, believing that the Red Devils were somewhat ill and rushed to seek medical treatment.
Ferguson's retirement has a huge blow to Manchester United. Whether at the competitive level, club management level, especially in transfer operations, Ferguson used to be planning, but now no one in Manchester United's management can take over Ferguson's authority, which has caused Manchester United to suffer frustrations in the transfer market.
This time, Manchester United also took the initiative to grab Martial.
It is not difficult to see from Martial's transfer that the competition in the European transfer market is becoming increasingly fierce.

Bayern Munich, who has always been thrifty, has made no stingy in the transfer market after introducing Guardiola. In order to enhance the overall competitiveness of the team, he has invested a lot this summer again.
37 million euros were introduced to Chilean midfielder Vidal from Juventus, and this transfer was a big deal.
Vidal has proved his strength at Juventus. It can be said that Juventus made great contributions to the Champions League semi-finals, and now the transfer to Bayern Munich has made the Bundesliga class bully even more powerful.
30 million euros were introduced to Brazilian winger Douglas Costa from Donetsk miners, 8.5 million euros were introduced to Kimmich from Stuttgart, and 7 million euros were loaned to French winger Koeman from Juventus...
Bayern Munich is obviously also aiming for the Champions League, and Guardiola's team hopes to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the new season.
Vidal filled the midfield vacancy, and Douglas Costa and Koeman joined Bayern Munich to have two outstanding wing players in addition to the devilish wings of Ribery and Robben.
...
In the Serie A, after selling Vidal at a high price, Juventus turned around and introduced Dybala from Palermo for 32 million euros, and then introduced Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro from Porto for 26 million euros.
Teves transferred back to the Boca youth in Argentina, Llorente transferred freely to Sevilla, and Juventus introduced Mandzukizi from Atletico Madrid for 19 million euros to continue to strengthen the team's frontcourt offensive ability.
In addition, 18 million euros were introduced to Zaza from Sassuolo, 14 million euros were introduced to Pereira from Udinese, and 11 million euros were introduced to Elnanes from Inter Milan...
Juventus' overall strength is obviously slightly better than last season, but after sending Vidal away, the Zebras' life is not easy, and the team's number one star Pogba was strongly poached by Barcelona.
Bartomeu is running for Barcelona chairman this summer and personally promised Barcelona fans that he would introduce Pogba from Juventus.
The performance of the French midfielder at Juventus has been recognized by everyone. Real Madrid has been rumored to have had scandals with him in the past two years. Not long ago, Zidane replaced Ancelotti and became Real Madrid head coach, there were rumors from the outside media that the first person he signed was Pogba.
But unexpectedly, Real Madrid did not take any action for a long time, but Barcelona took the lead.
It was with the appeal of stars such as Pogba, Bartomeu defeated former chairman Laporta in the presidential election and took office as Barcelona chairman. After being elected, he also contacted Juventus at the first time, hoping to dig up the French midfielder from the Zebras and fulfill his promises with Barcelona fans.
But Juventus is not interested in this transfer.
Catalonia's World Sports Daily revealed that Bartomeu is willing to offer a sky-high transfer fee of 80 million euros for Pogba, and there is even room for negotiation, as long as Juventus is willing to sell Pogba.
"Due to FIFA's transfer ban, Barcelona can even accept the method of paying half of the deposit in advance, and paying the other half next summer to complete this transfer."
Barcelona has opened up huge chips and sincerity, but Juventus and Pogba are still unmoved.
Turin Sports Daily revealed that after Juventus sold Vidal this summer, he hoped to retain Pogba to prevent the team from declining strength. Pirlo is already old, so he prefers to keep the French midfielder.
Pogba himself has not thought of leaving Juventus, but there are only three teams that are really interested in him, namely Manchester United and Manchester City in the Premier League and Barcelona in La Liga.
"Pogba is not willing to return to the Premier League because he was coldly treated by Ferguson in the Premier League, which made him resist the Premier League. Therefore, although Manchester City expressed his willingness to pay the transfer fee that satisfies Juventus and poached Pogba with a high salary, the French midfielder still reserved."
"Barcelona's invitation also failed to impress Pogba, because the French midfielder once expressed his opinion in the French media that he hoped to transfer to Real Madrid, not only because of Zidane, but also because of Yang Yang. He hoped to fight side by side with Yang Yang. He firmly believed that Real Madrid, which has Yang Yang, is invincible and he hopes to play in such a team."
"But now, Real Madrid does not seem to include Pogba in their transfer plan."
...
It was amidst such turmoil that Yang Yang ended his holiday and returned to Madrid.
