As time enters mid-to-late July, the transfer market this summer has gradually become hotter.
The one who made the biggest move was Real Madrid.
In addition to acquiring Ronaldo for 80 million, they also spent 30 million euros to buy Kroos from Bayern Munich.
In addition, as if to avenge their loss to Hamburg in the Champions League final, they made a revenge consumption.
In addition to repurchasing Carvajal, Real Madrid also purchased Hamburg's two main players Navas and Casemiro in a package!
Reinforcing yourself by directly poaching your opponents is a yes.
Of course, this is indeed a useful addition to their current lineup.
In the goalkeeper position, Casillas is coming off the top, while Diego Lopez is still a little far from the top, and he also left for Milan for free in the summer window.
Navas' performance in Hamburg has always been solid, coupled with his heroic performance in the World Cup, Lafayette believes that the introduction of this Costa Rican can add insurance to Real Madrid's defense.
Casemiro has always been in Real Madrid's sights. Midfielders such as Shahin, Cheryshev, Di Maria, Alonso and other midfielders in the summer transfer team have left the team, and more manpower needs to be added. Therefore, the "ceremony three midfielders" were also assembled at this time!
Although Real Madrid spent a lot of money to purchase Ronaldo and the three Hamburg players, their net investment was actually not particularly large.
Because the people they sell to are not cheap either.
For example, forward Morata was sold to Juventus for 20 million euros, while Di Maria was sold to Manchester United for a whopping 75 million euros!
In this summer's transfer market, the only one who can compare with Real Madrid is their mortal enemy Barcelona.
In addition to the 81 million bid for Suarez, they also bought Rakitic for 18 million euros, Ter Stegen for 12 million euros, Mathieu for 20 million euros, Vermaelen for 19 million euros, and Vermaelen for 12 million euros.
Bravo of 10,000 euros...
In the Premier League, the two most powerful teams, Liverpool and Manchester United, are making the biggest noise.
After selling Suarez at a high price, Liverpool introduced ten players including Balotelli, Lallana, Markovic, Emre Can, Lovren, and Origi.
Su Ya is really "a water source for the entire army".
After Manchester United experienced a humiliating season, they also recruited aggressively, hoping to make a comeback under the leadership of coach Louis van Gaal.
In addition to buying Di Maria at a high price, they also brought Luke Shaw from Southampton for 31.5 million euros, Herrera from Athletic Bilbao for 29 million, plus Rojo, Blind, and Fall.
Examine the heroes and your strength will increase greatly.
In North London, Arsenal's biggest move was to buy Chilean star Sanchez from Barcelona for 35 million, and "Black Bay" Welbeck from Manchester United for 16 million.
Tottenham's investment was even less. Except for signing Paulinho from Hamburg for 25 million euros, the remaining five or six transfers cost less than 20 million euros in total.
The most surprising thing is Manchester City.
This rich team, which burned through money in previous years, actually did not continue to increase investment this year.
Their biggest deal was the signing of defender Mangala from Porto for 32 million, and they also acquired Fernando from the same team for 12 million.
The other two larger transfers are free.
One is Sagna's free transfer from Arsenal, and the other is Lampard.
After his contract with Chelsea expired, Lampard freely joined New York City of the American Major League, but was first loaned back to Manchester City for half a season.
From the perspective of "hindsight"...
Neither Tottenham nor Manchester City have invested much this season.
Maybe it was because Manchester City finally won the championship and they felt that "the strongest person is already in the team". Maybe Tottenham's boss Levy broke the pot after being rejected by Pan Yi, but from the final result, Pan Yi
It is true that from the three teams that were "shortlisted for the finals", the one with the most money was chosen.
And now, it's time for him to spend money!
------------------
When Abramovich invited Pan Yi to become the head coach of Chelsea, including signing the contract, he indeed only talked about the long-term plan, but did not talk about the specific performance requirements, which touched Pan Yi's heart.
This shows that Abramovich really trusts him and hopes that he can lead Chelsea to gradually become a real world powerhouse!
Pan Yi knows that this kind of trust from the boss and the management will make his next work easier and the management of the locker room will be more convenient.
However, the boss does not ask for results, he himself will ask for it, and he also needs his players to know the season goals.
So he did the opposite and shouted the slogan of winning the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship.
Of course, Pan Yi still has a lot of work to do to truly turn the slogan into reality.
Judging from the current Chelsea lineup, the goalkeeper is the position that you don’t need to worry about the least.
Veteran Cech is getting stronger with age, and Courtois also performed extremely well during his loan at Atletico Madrid. He is one of the biggest contributors to Atletico Madrid's ability to win the La Liga championship and enter the Champions League semi-finals.
Coupled with the veteran Australian goalkeeper and goalkeeper coach Schwarzer, it can be said that he is a famous player from the first to the third goal.
Whether it is the youth of the team or the goalkeeper requirements of the 3-back formation that Pan Yi wants to promote in the new season, Courtois will be a strong contender for Chelsea's main goalkeeper in the new season.
He is tall and long-armed, has solid skills, and extremely quick reaction speed. He has no obvious shortcomings in catching air balls and ground balls, and his performance is impeccable when he is playing crazy.
Even when it comes to playing the ball in the backcourt, Courtois's footwork doesn't hold him back much.
Although it cannot be said to be outstanding, at least it is quite satisfactory.
Compared with Cech, Courtois is only 22 years old this year and is still in the rising period of his career. This advantage is even more obvious.
The second position Chelsea has strong reserves is the central defender.
It stands to reason that Pan Yi is planning to try a three-back formation in the new season, especially the more offensive 343 formation, which has very high requirements for the "quality" and "quantity" of the central defender.
But Chelsea has it!
The first is the three genuine central defenders, Cahill, Terry and David Luiz.
Heading the ball, intercepting, playing the ball...all at once.
Especially the presence of David Luiz made Pan Yi unable to think of any better choices for the moment.
Because in Pan Yi's 343 system, he requires the central defender to have excellent passing skills, so that he can avoid the opponent's immediate pressing force and find the most suitable forward passing route to handle the ball. p>
And for this central defender, Pan Yi's task is not just to "insure the ball", but sometimes he will even be asked to use his overall view of the field to make some threatening passes in order to directly tear the opponent apart.
Line of defense, the purpose of accelerating counterattack.
Obviously, David Luiz is the person who can perfectly complete such a task.
People's first impression of him is not even his wonderful performances on the back line, but his elegant falling ball or his stable "card machine" in the backcourt.
Data can prove the Brazil international's excellent passing skills.
Just this past season, David Luiz completed a total of 1,570 passes, with a pass success rate of 84%.
At the same time, considering that his technical characteristics are that he often moves forward into the frontcourt to participate in organizing attacks, David Luiz's passing success rate in the frontcourt is also 50%, his midfield passing success rate is 87%, and his passing success rate in the backcourt is 50%.
The success rate is a full 96%.
Of course, since in the organization, David Luiz often cuts forward next to the two defensive midfielders, or even goes to the frontcourt to complete the shot, so two other central defenders are needed to fill in, and this is the case with Terry and Cahill.
A conscientious and conscientious person.
It can be said that Chelsea's three central defenders are almost the perfect three-back system template in Pan Yi's mind.
It is precisely because of this that Pan Yi rejected Paris Saint-Germain's offer of up to 50 million euros for David Luiz and kept him at Chelsea.
Of course, in a long season and Chelsea has four events to deal with, it is impossible to have only three central defenders in the team.
However, Chelsea still have Azpilicueta and Ivanovic in the first team!
Although the two of them more often appear at right back or right wing back, they can also play as center backs.
Especially the versatile Azpilicueta, who was transformed into a qualified left center back when Pan Yi's previous life, Conte, took over Chelsea and played as a third center back, and won the Premier League championship with the team.
Coupled with Ake and Zuma in the youth team, it can be said that there is no need to worry about people.
Especially Ake, whether he is in the future Manchester City or the Dutch team, his left-footed central defender can play a very important role in the three-back system.
Therefore, what Chelsea currently lacks is wing-backs, especially left wing-backs.
After veteran Ashley Cole left the team, Pan Yi couldn't even find an authentic candidate who could play left back!
If we have to play a game now, we still have to find Azpilicueta to take over...
Why did Mourinho say "If I had 11 Azpilicuetas, I could win all the championships"? This is the important reason!
Therefore, the first focus of the next signing is the left wing-back.
In the midfield position, the two midfielders in the middle of Pan Yi's 343 formation are relatively far back and require certain organizational and scheduling abilities.
Among them, Matic is an excellent candidate.
Although he is not fast, he has certain passing skills and high-altitude ball interception ability. He can also retreat to the back line after David Luiz penetrates forward to increase the number of people in the backcourt.
But the other one is not suitable.
The Brazilians Oscar, William, and Ramirez in the team are all offensive midfielders. Mikel is tough enough, but he is still far from Pan Yi's requirements in terms of defensive coverage and midfield interception.
There is a certain distance.
Therefore, the second focus of signings is the midfielder position.
Finally, there is the striker.
The frontcourt trio will be the top priority of Pan Yi's 343 system, and it will also be the hub he focuses on building.
Here he first needs two wingers with strong assault ability, who can not only complete high-quality crosses, but also use their personal abilities to complete some wonderful goals.
So, Azar, who has not yet become the "Burger King", obviously meets this demand.
At this time, he is still at the peak of his career. He can do almost anything he wants in the Premier League. He is the real London goalkeeper!
The other winger, Brazilian youngster Oscar, is qualified.
But after all, he is more accustomed to playing as a midfielder, so he is still a little short of perfection in Pan Yi's opinion.
The same goes for players like Schürrle and William. They are quite strong, but not enough.
If possible, Pan Yi still hopes to find a more comprehensive player in the transfer market who can make sudden passes.
This can be regarded as the third focus of signings.
Finally, there is the center.
After Eto'o left the team, Chelsea still had players like Torres and Demba Ba.
But at present, Demba Ba cannot meet Pan Yi's needs, and Torres has been in a sluggish state since moving to Chelsea, and may not be able to take on the big responsibility.
After all, Pan Yi's center has always required comprehensive skills, whether it is a shot from the center, a moderate retreat to catch the ball, or even a forward penetration with the ball during a counterattack.
However, Chelsea is still "the strongest man is already in the team"!
That's the two-hundred-pound center, the killer who can sweep across the penalty area with one blast: Lukaku!
This is no joke.

How many people can there be in the world who can combine strength, breakthrough, speed, shooting skills, ball-making and other advantages?
Not to mention that the Belgian, who is over 1.9 meters tall, is even better at playing winger than center, which also illustrates his technical comprehensiveness.

As for whether he will be called the "Pestrel King" or something in the future...
Don’t worry, he is only 21 years old now, so he has plenty of time to correct his mistakes!
In fact, Lukaku performed well on loan at Everton last season, so Everton has proposed a 30 million buyout!
But he didn't say that this was the person Pan Yi wanted to use, so he also refused.
Not short of money, just so willful!
Demba Ba also has the Turkish team Besiktas looking to buy him, so Pan Yi is ready to sell him and loan Torres to AC Milan for free, which can be regarded as a new season gift to his old club.
So, to sum up, Pan Yi’s current preset framework of Chelsea’s 343 main lineup for the new season is roughly like this:
In other words, Pan Yi's main signing targets in this summer window are three positions:
Left wing-back, defensive midfielder, and right winger!
------------------
London.
About 50 minutes' drive from Stamford Bridge, there is a large venue covering an area of about 130 acres.
There are fifteen football fields and an indoor football field for winter training.
This is the Cobham training base belonging to Chelsea Club!
After Abramovich arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2003, Chelsea quickly equipped itself with first-class senior management, a first-class medical team, and first-class coaches and players.
But compared with other giants, what the Blues lack most is a well-equipped training base.
Therefore, under Abramovich's instruction, Chelsea invested more than 30 million pounds in the construction of the Cobham training base, which was officially put into use in 2007.
Now, Cobham Training Base is the most advanced training ground in the world, and it is not just used to train players.
It integrates the functions of injured rehabilitation, medical and media services. The Chelsea first team, reserve team, youth echelon (from the under-9 team to the under-18 team), and even community football activities are all carried out in this base. p>
Now, Pan Yi is already sitting in the spacious and bright conference hall of the base, studying the next transfer operation with his coaching staff.
"Hamburg players are popular in the transfer market this year. Navas, Carvajal, and Casemiro have officially transferred to Real Madrid, Paulinho went to Tottenham, and Makoto Hasebe went to Frankfurt.
Only those who have confirmed the contract..."
Assistant coach Steve Holland reports.
This 44-year-old Englishman is very familiar with the entire English football world. He has also worked at Chelsea for many years and has rich experience in coaching young players, which is what Pan Yi values.
Obviously, Steve Holland is also very convinced of Pan Yi, the champion coach with the highest salary in the world and the aura of Triple Crown. Before Pan Yi arrived, he had already put some daily training affairs in the club in order.
.
Now Pan Yi needs transfer information, and Horan quickly collected the latest news for Pan Yi to check.
"So boss, if you want to recruit your old subordinates, you have to do it as soon as possible." After the report, Huo Lan reminded.
Pan Yi nodded slightly.
It is almost certain that Hamburg will be "dismembered" after winning the championship.
As far away as Red Star Belgrade and Ajax in the 1990s, and as close as Porto, which team didn't lose all its stars in the second year after winning the Champions League?
This is the tragedy of small teams that are not financially strong enough.
It doesn’t even need to win the championship. As long as the star player in the team performs slightly better and attracts the attention of a wealthy club, he will be bought out in an instant.
Hamburg's players are not the only ones that Horan just mentioned will be poached.
Leicester City is also very close to Vardy, the Bundesliga's golden boot, while Leverkusen has been winking at Sun Xingmin, whom they are most interested in. Salah is also said to be interested by many teams.
So there are not many Hamburg players left for Pan Yi!
For Pan Yi, Hamburg's "old coach", it is reasonable to want to find some familiar old subordinates when he is short of people.
This is also a very common thing in world football.
Take the Manchester United team as an example.
When Moyes came, he brought his favorite general Fellaini with him;
Now Van Gaal is here, bringing with him Blind;
When Mourinho comes in the future, he will also bring Matic;
When Ten Hahe comes, he will bring Lima, Anthony and others...
Every coach has a few players that he uses very well, and he takes them with him wherever he goes.
Pan Yi also has it.
For example, Van Dijk, Kante, and Salah were brought to Hamburg from Milan.
Among them, Kante and Salah are exactly in line with the key positions to be recruited this season.
If Robertson is added to the mix, wouldn't everything be fine?
However, because the current head coach of Hamburg is his beloved disciple Nagelsmann, and he persuaded him to take over, Pan Yi certainly doesn’t want to poach Hamburg’s people.
You dig, I dig, everyone digs, and in the end, only an empty frame is left for Nagelsmann. Isn’t that ridiculous? Isn’t this harming him?
Although Hamburg has lost some people now, if there are still Van Dijk, Salah, Robertson, including Wu Lei and others in the team as the main framework, and on this basis more personnel are added, there can still be competition in the Bundesliga.
Powerful.
However, if some players are planning to go to other teams and Pan Yi intercepts them at this time, there is no need to have such worries.
Pan Yi was still thinking, and another assistant coach Scaloni also said: "As far as I know, Bayern has also launched a comprehensive offensive against De Bruyne and offered him a weekly salary of 250,000 euros."<
/p>
Guardiola’s admiration for De Bruyne is something everyone knows.
After losing Kroos this season, Guardiola still hopes to introduce De Bruyne to make up for it.
In terms of transfer fee, Bayern paid the highest price in team history of 65 million, which also impressed Hamburg. However, in terms of personal treatment, De Bruyne also hoped to get the team's maximum salary, so Bayern promised him 25 million.
10,000 weekly salary.
250,000!
You know, De Bruyne's previous salary increase in Hamburg was only 50,000 euros, but now it has increased five times!
At the same time, this is the same as Chelsea’s maximum salary.
Currently, Hazard has the highest salary in Chelsea, and his weekly salary is also 250,000 euros.
Of course, for Pan Yi now, these numbers no longer seem so huge.
Unlike when he was in Hamburg, if a player asked him for a weekly salary of more than 100,000, he would jump out of his chair in shock!
In fact, as far as Chelsea's current salary expenditure is concerned, it is a terrifying number.
If bonus terms are included, the team's total salary has reached an astonishing 3.2 million euros per week!
In other words, Chelsea spends more than 160 million euros a year on wages alone.
And this is not Chelsea’s upper limit.
Because the salary budget given to Pan Yi by the club's top management for the new season is actually 4.4 million euros per week, which is 220 million euros per year...
This is a budget given in compliance with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play policy.
If you include other messy accounting methods, I really don’t know how else to spend money.
How could Pan Yi have such a large transfer budget to sign players when he was in Hamburg, and how could he offer high wages to attract players?
If you have to spend tens of millions in salary a year, you will probably be prepared to go bankrupt.
Poverty really limited his imagination.
But in this way, even if Pan Yi faces a giant like Bayern, he will have great confidence to steal people from them.
As a relatively comprehensive midfielder, De Bruyne is able to play in the middle of the midfield, as an attacking midfielder, as a pseudo-winger further to the side, or even as a true winger.
So even if he is not the position Pan Yi needs most at the moment, Pan Yi still wants to fight for it.
If you have money, don’t spend it, you bastard!
Moreover, Pan Yi's advantage is obvious, that is, De Bruyne is his old subordinate, and he will definitely be more emotionally inclined to continue to serve under him.
After all, it was under Pan Yi's careful training that De Bruyne grew from an unknown Belgian boy to a world-class midfielder and the MVP of the Bundesliga!
So, Pan Yi first dialed De Bruyne's phone number and went outside to chat.
Not long after, he came back.
"How's it going? Boss?"
Seeing Pan Yi come in, Holland, Scaloni and others, who were all waiting for news in his room, all asked with concern on their faces.
Pan Yi touched his face and said helplessly:
"He has decided to go to Bayern."
