There are frequent transfers on Manchester City's side. After the introduction of Torres, Manchester City did not stop the pace of signings. At the end of La Liga, Pellegrini has already arrived at Manchester City.
Originally, this period of time was Pellegrini's rest time, but Pellegrini was in a good mood. Pellegrini has been at Villarreal since he came to European football and is used to introducing low-priced players.
.Now that he suddenly came to an upstart like Manchester City, he felt very happy. He was able to directly introduce players like Torres and David Silva. Pellegrini felt so happy.
Therefore, he has been paying attention to Manchester City's transfers, and he has personally participated in the transfers. Manchester City first introduced Argentinian player Zabaleta for 8 million pounds, and then bought Argentinian player Zabaleta from Argentina for 12 million pounds.
Stone Villa have signed Gareth Barry.
Of course it's not over yet. Manchester City spent another eight million pounds to introduce their left back Baines from Everton. Although Baines was later hailed as England's No. 1 player after Ashley Cole
A left back, but he is still an unknown player at the moment. Although he performed well at Wigan Athletic, he joined Everton for 5 million pounds.
But last season he basically played as a substitute at Everton. Because Lescott played at left back at Everton last season and played very well. Baines simply couldn't beat Lescott, so
He can only be a substitute. Because Baines was not included in Manchester City's signing list. It was List who strongly recommended Pellegrini that Manchester City spent 8 million pounds to bring him in.
Although after Torres, Manchester City did not make any large-money transfers that shocked European football. However, during this period, it has made the Premier League teams more worried. Because now Manchester City is obviously increasing the thickness of the team's bench. Like Zabaleta
, Barry, and Baines are all powerful stars, and they are constantly improving Manchester City's lineup.
Look at Manchester City's current lineup. There are Torres, Tevez, David Silva, Modric, Kompany, Thiago Silva, and Krarov. They are all big players. Manchester City's main lineup is already very big.
Stronger. With the addition of powerful stars such as Joel Luca, Barry, Baynes, Zabaleta, and Gilberto Silva, of course there is no shortage of Joe Hart, Richards, and Sturi.
Such a young genius.
It can be said that Manchester City is strong enough now. It depends on how Manchester City's head coach integrates them. But Manchester City is Manchester City. They have just been honest for a while. A big transfer broke out again. Manchester City spent 24 million pounds.
The price brought Hleb from Tottenham.
Hleb is 27 years old this year and is a star in his prime. Hleb became famous at Villarreal. It was Arneson who spent 14 million pounds to introduce him to Tottenham.
Hleb also performed well after Tottenham. He firmly held Tottenham's main position on the right wing and was one of the players with the most dribbles in the Premier League every season.
Hleb is considered an old disciple of Pellegrini. He became famous in the hands of Pellegrini at Villarreal. Pellegrini also brought him to Manchester City this time. And Hleb
He received a weekly salary of 70,000 pounds at Tottenham, but when he arrived at Manchester City, he immediately received a weekly salary of 110,000 pounds.
So far, Manchester City has introduced eight players before the transfer market opened, spending more than 150 million pounds. It is a great success. Manchester City's signings can be said to have attracted the attention of all the strong teams in European football.
They even think that Manchester City's signings are not over yet. Judging from Manchester City's trend, they want to continue signings.
And at this moment, there was a piece of news that directly overshadowed Manchester City's reputation in the transfer market.
On June 9, 2008, the election of the new chairman of Real Madrid came out. Of course, there was no need to watch it. Everyone knew the result. Because until this day, there was only one candidate for the chairman of Real Madrid, and that was Florentino. Therefore.
The Real Madrid Electoral Committee officially announced that since there is only one candidate participating in the presidential election, Florentino will automatically become the new president of the Real Madrid Club.
Real Madrid is a century-old giant, the number one giant in the world. No matter how prosperous an upstart like Manchester City is in the transfer market, it cannot match the attention of Real Madrid. At the inauguration ceremony of Florentino, there were Real Madrid
Honorary President Di Stefano, two vice-presidents of Real Madrid, and thirteen members of the Presidency Committee. There are also countless senior executives of Real Madrid.
Of course, there are also Mayor of Madrid Galardon, Atletico Madrid Club Chairman Cerezo and Getafe Club Chairman Torres, as well as many important figures in the Spanish sports industry. Demonstrating the influence of Real Madrid, Floren
Tino's influence.
Florentino is an excellent speaker. He stood on the stage and began to deliver his inaugural speech: "We know the purpose of our coming here. We are here to help people return to their dreams and stability, and to regain their dreams and stability."
We waste time fighting to build Real Madrid into the best club of the 21st century. We know that the whole world is going through a difficult period, but we want to revive Real Madrid and return the club to its rightful place. We will
Relying on great people and paying attention to all details so that we continue to be a role model. Our image is our most valuable asset."
"We have been through a tumultuous period, but we know that the more united we are, the further we can go. Shaping Real Madrid into a leader in sport, economics and society is an unprecedented challenge we face.
We will build a team that wins honors, entertains people and serves as role models. We will reshape a dream and solidify it."
"This is a profound ceremony for us. It is an honor but also a great responsibility. We know our goals. We also know the expectations placed on us by the club members. We must regain our dreams.
"We come here with humility and passion, knowing that there are many obstacles to overcome. I will work hard to make Real Madrid the best club of the 21st century."
The European Cup has started two days ago, but even the European Cup cannot conceal the news that Florentino has returned to Real Madrid. Florentino is the real giant in European football. His comeback has even caused the International Football Association to
Neither the United President nor the President of UEFA can take it lightly. His appointment has made the European football giants restless, fearing that Florentino will poach their leading star.
Originally, everyone was reporting on Manchester City's news in the transfer market, and occasionally interspersed with things like Chelsea's coaching change, Inter Milan's coaching change, Barcelona's coaching change, and Liverpool's coaching change. Of course, with the start of the European Cup, the media has begun to pay attention.
European Cup.
But after Florentino came out of Real Madrid, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Florentino's attraction exceeded the European Cup. Because everyone wanted to see Florentino return to the world this time.
What kind of surprise will it give you?
Of course, Florentino never disappoints the media. Florentino told everyone in European football that although he has been away from European football for nearly two and a half years, he is still the same Florentino as before.
Lentino.
"The most special one comes to the Bernabeu!"
On June 10, 2008, the day after Florentino became the chairman of Real Madrid, Real Madrid announced that Mourinho, who had left Chelsea for almost a year, became the new head coach of Real Madrid. Obviously Florentino had already
He had an agreement with Mourinho, so he announced the new Real Madrid head coach the day after he became president.
Real Madrid and Mourinho signed a three-year contract, and Mourinho's salary reached 8 million euros after tax. Just two months ago, Mourinho and Barcelona were flirting with each other, and it was almost certain that
He was about to take over Barcelona. But when Barcelona broke his verbal promise, Mendes quickly contacted Florentino, and Mourinho took over Real Madrid two months later.
Barcelona doesn't like Mourinho's style, and Cruyff doesn't like it. In fact, Real Madrid doesn't like it either, and neither does Florentino. But Florentino has no choice now, because Real Madrid is already five years old.
There were no championships won this season. Since Del Bosque left in 2003, Real Madrid has been in chaos. Not only does it not have any heavyweight championships, but even the Champions League has become a laughing stock.
As the world's largest club, how can Real Madrid endure such a situation? Although Real Madrid is still attracting the attention of world football, it is also the laughing stock of world football. Real Madrid now longs for the championship, no matter what method is used, as long as it can win it
They would be satisfied if they won the championship. That's why Florentino quickly reached an agreement with Mourinho after Mendes contacted him.
Only a week after the most special one came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid announced a transfer that shocked the entire world of football. Real Madrid members also cheered loudly for Florentino. Even "Marca" and "Argentina"
They all cheered and started singing praises for Florentino.
"The number one superstar is coming to the Bernabeu!"
"The arrival of the king!"
"The beginning of a new era for Real Madrid!"
Not only Real Madrid's newspapers, but all authoritative media in European football were shocked by this transfer. Many newspapers even compared this transfer with the year when Zidane came to Real Madrid.
Who has such charm and influence? Of course it is Kaka, the number one player in world football, Milan's core player. Only the arrival of Kaka can have such a great influence.
On June 17, 2008, eight days after Florentino became the chairman of Real Madrid, Real Madrid's official website announced that Real Madrid and Milan had reached an agreement. Kaká had passed the physical examination at Real Madrid and came to Real Madrid for 71 million euros.
Real Madrid. Kaka signed a six-year contract with Real Madrid. The annual salary before tax is 14 million euros. Because Kaka enjoys the Beckham Act, the after-tax salary exceeds more than 11 million euros. He has become the current European
The highest paid players in football.
Kaka's joining was a real big deal. The media compared him to Zidane joining Real Madrid, which was not an exaggeration. Zidane became the only top star at the time who could compare with Ronaldo by virtue of winning the World Cup and the European Cup.
.For the 29-year-old Zidane, Florentino spent 76 million euros.
Kaka is only 26 years old now, which is at his peak in terms of age. Moreover, Kaka is still outstanding in European football, and no player can compare with him. It is really only possible to introduce such a player.
Real Madrid has this ability.
You don’t need to look at anything else, just look at the sales of jerseys to know Kaka’s current fame. After Real Madrid announced the introduction of Kaka, Kaka’s No. 8 jersey sold out 3,000 pieces in three hours. A set with complete names and numbers
The price of Kaka's No. 8 jersey is 84.99 euros, which is even more than the original price of Beckham's jersey. But the supply is still in short supply.
More than 7,000 Kaka jerseys were sold in one day. Florentino even said that Real Madrid would be able to earn back Kaka's transfer fee and salary in only half a year.
In fact, it cost more than 90 million euros to introduce Kaká to Florentino. Kaká’s agent’s father is a money man, so in order to convince him, Florentino paid Kaká’s father 8 million euros.
The commission. And Riester holds the image rights of Kaká, and Florentino wants to take back half of the image rights. In addition, he needs Riester to contribute to the transfer of Kaká. He also gives Riester 6 million euros.
Commission. This time, a commission of 14 million euros was paid.
And this is not over yet. Kaka, as the world's number one superstar, came to Real Madrid this time. Florentino gave Kaka a signing bonus of 6 million euros. In addition, Kaka signed a six-year contract with 84 million euros this time.
In addition to the big Euro contract, Real Madrid also gave Kaká’s father a one-time salary share of 4.2 million euros. Adding up all the other messy things, Real Madrid paid nearly 100 million euros to introduce Kaka.
On June 29, 2008, Kaka made his official debut at Real Madrid. At that time, more than 50,000 people came to the Bernabeu to welcome Kaka. They really regarded Kaka as Zidane. Just when Real Madrid fans were immersed in the happiness of introducing Kaka
During this period, Florentino told Real Madrid fans that your happiness has just begun.
On July 1, 2008, just two days after Kaka made his debut at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid announced that they would introduce their sharpshooter Cristiano Ronaldo from Arsenal for 46 million euros. Wenger transformed him into
After becoming a center player, Cristiano Ronaldo completely became the Premier League's marksman, scoring more than 30 goals for Arsenal in all competitions for two consecutive seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo played four games at Arsenal
This season, he has already scored 87 goals for Arsenal, and his scoring efficiency can be compared with gun king Henry.
Speaking of which, Wenger is very reluctant to let him go. Because Arsenal's performance in the past two years has been stable thanks to sharpshooters like Cristiano Ronaldo. Unfortunately, Arsenal's financial pressure is relatively high, and Cristiano Ronaldo
Arsenal could no longer afford the high salary required, so they sold it to Real Madrid and received a transfer fee of 46 million euros.
Kaká came, and then the Premier League's sharpshooter Cristiano Ronaldo came. Is it the end for Florentino? No, Florentino's madness is not over yet.
Just three days after Cristiano Ronaldo came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid once again announced a heavyweight transfer. On July 4, 2008, Real Madrid announced that it had introduced the so-called "Zida" from Manchester United for a price of 54 million euros.
French star Franck Ribery, the "internal successor".
Ribery's worth is higher than Cristiano Ronaldo's. It's not that Ribery's performance is better than Cristiano Ronaldo's. It's just that it's much more difficult to bring in players from Manchester United than from Arsenal. Manchester United should be beaten.
The stars of the 2000s are worth a lot, while the stars from Arsenal are worth much less.
Money? Real Madrid is never short of money, and Florentino is not short of money. Less than a month after Florentino became the chairman of Real Madrid, he recruited several of the top players in European football to Real Madrid.
Serie A's top star Kaka, Premier League's top star Franck Ribery and Cristiano Ronaldo, the three of them spent more than 170 million in transfer fees from Real Madrid. If you include agent commissions and player signing fees,
The introduction of these three people to Real Madrid cost about 220 million. Because their agent's commission is much higher than that of ordinary transfers.
Everyone in European football was astonished by Florentino's actions, so much so that even the knockout rounds of the European Cup were not as attractive as Florentino's actions in Real Madrid.
