()The Premier League transfer market seems quiet this year.
Last season, the Premier League transfer market was already turbulent. But now it is very quiet.
Manchester United's introduction of Smith from Leeds United has become a good attraction. Manchester United and Leeds United are mortal enemies, a pair of mortal enemies in England. However, Manchester United has imported players from Leeds United for several consecutive years.
Including Ferdinand.
But Ferdinand's departure did not make Leeds United fans very angry.
After all, Ferdinand is not from Leeds United.
Just a mercenary.
But Alan Smith is different.
This is a player born and raised in Leeds United. He is the favorite player of Leeds United fans and a representative player of Leeds United. Unexpectedly, he went to Manchester United.
This made Leeds United fans furious.
So much so that Leeds United fans shouted slogans such as "Kill Smith!" and "Hang Smith!"
Manchester United also has one more takeover.
Signed Argentinian left-back Heinze for £6.9 million.
Manchester United doesn't do anything big. That's it.
However, the media reported that Manchester United wanted to bring in Robben. Of course, there was also news that Manchester United was interested in England's talented forward Rooney.
Rooney has been the most famous talented forward in British football for more than a year.
The performance in the European Cup was also outstanding.
Ferguson has expressed his appreciation for Everton's talented striker several times.
Apart from this, there is news from Liverpool.
Liverpool have a new manager.
Houllier, who has never won any championships in Liverpool, could only be dismissed because of his results last season. In fact, Houllier is very lucky.
Many people look back on his performance at Anfield with these words.
In fact, based on Houllier's performance, he should have been dismissed as early as 2001. However, his heart disease helped him. Liverpool was unable to dismiss him.
Until this year.
Houllier is out of class.
The person who came to Liverpool to replace Houllier was Rafael Benitez, a young European coach who also led Valencia to win the league championship and the UEFA Cup last season.
Benitez is also considered one of the best European young coaches currently.
He has many choices.
But he chose Liverpool. It can be seen that although Liverpool has declined, its appeal is still very strong.
On June 16, 2004, the 44-year-old Benitez officially became the head coach of the English giant Liverpool.
Spanish coach.
I also like Spanish players.
After he came to Chelsea, he introduced two Spanish players in succession.
One is Xavi Alonso, the core midfielder of Real Sociedad, who is worth more than 10 million pounds. The other player is his old subordinate, Luis Garcia who came from the Barcelona youth academy.
After Chelsea introduced Joaquin, Arsenal introduced Reyes, and Everton introduced Arteta, Spanish players began to enter the Premier League in large numbers.
There are already many Spanish players in the Premier League.
This is English football now.
Many media outlets are wondering.
The two most glorious clubs last season were undoubtedly Chelsea and Arsenal.
Chelsea won the Champions League, while Arsenal won the championship undefeated. Both clubs made the whole of Europe tremble.
But by the end of June, neither team had made any moves.
It made everyone confused.
Are they already very satisfied with their lineup?
No need to make changes?
And just when everyone was confused, a transfer happened that shocked the British football world and even the entire European football world.
July 5ri.
The official websites of Chelsea and Arsenal simultaneously announced that Ashley Cole, the main left back of the England national team, has transferred to Chelsea.
The transfer fee is £28 million.
Chelsea announced that they have signed a five-year contract with Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole's weekly salary reaches 80,000 pounds.
shock.
What a shock.
This is the shock.
Ashley Cole is currently only 23 years old, and will be 24 in another half year. But he is already the most outstanding left-back in European football. Not only did he achieve unbeaten success with Arsenal
The miracle of winning the championship and his performance in the European Cup was also extremely outstanding.
Cristiano Ronaldo of the Portuguese national team performed brilliantly in this European Cup.
But when he was young, he was completely targeted when facing Ashley Cole.
Ashley Cole proved with his performance that he is one of the best left backs in the world.
Unexpectedly, he actually moved to Chelsea.
There was no warning in advance.
Everyone only knows that the negotiations between Ashley Cole and David Dunn are not going well. So much so that many media are predicting that Ashley Cole is likely to leave Arsenal.
But no one thought he would go to Chelsea.
Chelsea finally took action.
And he shocked the European football world as soon as he made the move.
Chelsea.
There's that name again.
In the transfer market, Chelsea has replaced Real Madrid, Milan, Manchester United and other teams and become the most prosperous team.
Twenty-eight million pounds.
Everyone can only sigh that Chelsea is too damn rich.
They spent nearly 30 million pounds, but they only bought a left-back. If converted into euros, it would cost more than 40 million euros.
Only Chelsea has this kind of strength.
Many media are lamenting: What is Chelsea’s goal? When will they end their expansion?
Of course, there are many people who are in disbelief at Arsenal's choice.
It is understandable that Arsenal sold Ashley Cole when the contract renewal did not go smoothly. However, it was sold to Chelsea, a rival in the same city and a competitor in the Premier League.
No matter how much I think about it, I can't understand it.
Actually there is something.
Chelsea has money, but Arsenal lacks it. They can sell Ashley Cole for 28 million pounds. Arsenal is secretly laughing.
But whatever the reason, this transfer surprised many people.
July 7ri. Chelsea’s official website was refreshed again.
Chelsea have reached an agreement with Ligue 1 club Rennes.
Chelsea paid 7 million pounds to introduce Peter Cech, the main goalkeeper of Rennes and the main goalkeeper of the Czech national team.
Seven million pounds.
In the eyes of nouveau riche like Chelsea, it is not much money, and many strong European teams can easily spend 7 million pounds.
But for a goalkeeper, the transfer fee is not a small amount. After all, seven million pounds is already more than 10 million euros when converted into euros.
The goalkeeper is worth more than 10 million euros, which is definitely not much.
Even very few.
Only an upstart like Chelsea would throw away seven million pounds without any scruples.
But Chelsea's actions have just begun.
Soon Chelsea's third transfer was announced.
Last season, the Premier League introduced three talented Spanish players. Chelsea introduced Joaquin, Arsenal introduced Reyes, and Everton introduced Arteta.
Of these three people, Reyes still needs to prove himself.
As the main force, Joaquin won the Champions League with Chelsea and made huge contributions in defeating Real Madrid, Monaco, and Porto. Arteta was on loan at Everton in the winter. But he helped Everton miraculously finish fourth in the Premier League.
name.
Got a place in the Champions League qualifying rounds.
Among them, Arteta, as the core of Everton's midfield, has made a great contribution.
Only Reyes, after coming to Arsenal in the winter, has not fully adapted to the Premier League. He does not have the glory of Sevilla. He still needs to adapt to the Premier League.
Although Reyes was well-known before, his reputation began to soar in Europe last season. One of them was due to his outstanding performance in the World Youth Championship, and the other masterpiece was the game against Real Madrid in November last year.
Among them, Real Madrid was beaten into a sieve.
Beat Real Madrid four to one.
At that time, Reyes could be said to be extremely popular.
Zidane said after the game that Reyes played football on a motorcycle.
And Wenger also spent a lot of money to buy Reyes.
However, just like Wenger's eye on Reyes, Su Yun is also eyeing Sevilla. Because Sevilla's performance last season was very good. There are many young players in their team. Of course, Su Yun is
I have my eye on another player.
Their right back.
He has just arrived in Sevilla less than a year and a half ago, but he has already become Sevilla's main right back.
Players from Brazil.
Daniel Alves.
His performance is outstanding. The main thing is that Chelsea's right back has some problems now, and Panucci is very strong. But as he gets older, his explosive power and speed have dropped a lot.
In the three-dimensional offensive that Su Yun needs to create, the full-back offense is also very important. Panucci should slowly become a central defender. Therefore, Su Yun needs to train a successor for Panucci.
It's just that Melchiot's strength is limited.
So Su Yun fell in love with Alves.
But this one also has a problem. He is a Brazilian football player, but at the right back position, Brazil has an outstanding player like Cafu. Therefore, he has no place at all in the Brazilian team.
Does not meet the requirements for an English Football Work Certificate.
He cannot obtain a labor certificate from England. If he wants to join Chelsea, he can only go through another channel, which is the "Special Genius Clause" just released by the Football Association.
There is nothing that can be done about this Su Yun.
In fact, this is the same.
What is a genius and what is not a genius? This is not objective data. Therefore, the so-called "Special Genius Clause" actually depends on the club's public relations capabilities.
In the era of Ken Bates, Bates had a good relationship with the Football Association.
However, Abramovich's arrival was rejected by the English football community. Fortunately, Kenyon has great influence in the English Football Association. This time Su Yun used the "Special Genius Clause" for the first time and passed it very smoothly.
It started operation in June. It was not successful until early July.
On July 10th, Chelsea’s official website announced the third transfer.
Chelsea spent £8.4 million to buy Sevilla right back Daniel Alves.
This price made Su Yun very angry.
Seville is a black shop.
They bought Alves for 1 million euros a year ago, but sold him a year later for more than 12 million euros.
Su Yun was very dissatisfied.
Although Su Yun likes Alves very much, it is always uncomfortable to ask Sevilla to make a big deal.
Sevilla started strong.
No matter what, I won't sell it.
Finally, I spent so much money on Chelsea. I feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it.
On July 11, Chelsea's official website announced the fourth transfer.
Chelsea and PSV reached an agreement to introduce PSV left winger Robben for 12 million pounds.
The transfer was announced and "The Sun" immediately wrote about it.
