If Yu Bo's transfer had already begun, then Zhou Zhou's transfer was both reasonable and unexpected.
As early as when the Longteng team was still in the Chinese League One, Beijing Guoan tried to buy Yu Bo. Unfortunately, Yu Bo was very important to the team at the time. Zhang Sheng would not let go no matter what Guoan said. In the end, Guoan chose to buy Yu Bo.
Liu Xing came to replace him.
After that, rumors of Beijing Guoan purchasing Yu Bo would come out basically at the beginning and end of every season, which shows their dedication to Bo.
Now the boots upstairs have finally hit the ground.
With Yu Bo's strength - 76/76 ability value and potential value, he is definitely considered a top player in the country. The transfer fee of 85 million can even be said to be a friendly price, not to mention that the current good players in the Chinese Super League simply don't buy it.
Less than.
Zhou Zhou's transfer seemed a bit sudden.
As the captain of the Longteng team - of course, it is common practice for the Longteng team to sell their captains - Zhou Zhou has been the absolute main force of the Longteng team before this season. He helped the Longteng team win an FA Cup championship, a league championship and an Asian Cup championship.
The championship can be said to have made great contributions to the Longteng team.
Zhou Zhou may be lacking in offense on the wing, but his solid defense has always been a problem for opponents in the Chinese Super League and even the AFC Champions League. In addition, he has a balanced left and right foot and can play both left and right full-backs. In the absence of the lack of
Good defenders are increasingly rare in the contemporary Chinese Super League.
Even if Zhang Sheng's tactical changes this season, he rarely has the opportunity to play as the captain. There is no problem in being a qualified substitute in the Longteng team. Perhaps it is the title of captain and the stable position in the national team that make Zhou
Zhou has more ideas.
In fact, as early as a month or two ago, Guangzhou Evergrande, Jiangsu Suning and Shanghai SIPG were chasing the captain of the Dragons.
Guangzhou Evergrande wants to make up for its shortcomings in full-backs, especially right-backs; Shanghai SIPG wants to make up for the loopholes in their defensive instability; as for Jiangsu Suning, it has benefited from the players of the Longteng team, with the joining of Xiao Yunfan
At least it brought the team the third position in the league and qualifying for the AFC Champions League. As for the 100 million yuan transfer fee spent, is it considered money today when the Jinyuan Super League is so crazy?
Therefore, in this competition, Jiangsu Suning is more active than all competitors. In their view, Suning can completely copy the defender system of the previous Longteng team. The arrival of Zhou Zhou can play with both left and right defenders.
Xiao Yunfan is feared by all Chinese Super League teams.
The matter of Zhou Zhou's transfer was very hot outside, but it was very calm inside the Longteng team. As early as a few months ago, Zhou Zhou had already made a transfer request to Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng also expressed his understanding and
I agreed to his request, and now I just let Zhou Zhou make his own choice.
What really worries Zhang Sheng is the continent of Europa, thousands of miles away from China, because several former Dragons players there are in the process of transfer operations, and without exception, they will bring a lot of money to the Dragons.
income.
The first person to complete the transfer was Kante, who performed extremely well at Leicester City.
As a former player of the Dragons, Kanter has become a living advertisement for the Dragons in Europe. He himself has mentioned in interviews many times that the Dragons and the Chinese Super League have trained him, and he has never forgotten the promotion given to him by Zhang Sheng.
After the end of the Premier League last season, as the best player in the Premier League in the 2015-2016 season, Kante was naturally selected for the French national team and helped the French national team win the runner-up in the European Cup.
Chelsea, who had long coveted him, took the lead. After competing with Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams, Chelsea showed more sincerity and signed Kante. The price was slightly higher than the historical price of 32 million pounds -
-£35 million.
Kante was originally brought to the Super League from France by Zhang Sheng for a mere hundred thousand euros. When he was first sold to Leicester City, it was one million pounds plus 40% of the second transfer share.
.
Of the 35 million pounds generated by this transfer, the Longteng team can receive 14 million pounds. According to the real-time exchange rate, it is approximately nearly 120 million yuan.
If Kante's transfer is basically the same as in history, Mahrez is completely different.
Historically, when Mahrez was playing for Leicester City and was not very famous, he had dual nationality of Algeria and France and chose to join the Algerian national team in advance in order to play in the 2014 World Cup. By the time he became famous, it was impossible for him to be selected again.
The French national team.
The emergence of Zhang Sheng changed this situation.
After bringing Mahrez to China to play football, the historical selection of the Algerian national team in 2014 came to nothing. It is impossible for the Algerian coach to go to China's low-level leagues to inspect players.
After the 2014 World Cup, Mahrez later moved to Leicester City, and suddenly he broke out. At this time, it was natural for the French national team to select him for the 2016 European Cup.
After the European Cup ended, Mahrez, who had goals and assists, helped the team win the runner-up spot in the European Cup. He was also favored by countless wealthy clubs.
Arsenal coach Wenger, who has always liked to use French players, has repeatedly expressed his intention to buy Mahrez. At the same time, Chelsea, which was in a forward shortage last season, is even thinking about packing Kante and Mahrez, plus Manchester City.
, Serie A's Juventus and other teams are paying close attention to this new star.
Historically, after Mahrez won the championship with Leicester City, although he had scandals with countless teams, he still stayed in Leicester City in the end, and the subsequent results were not very good. The team defended the Premier League title.
It failed and was almost relegated in the second half of the season. Although it advanced all the way in the Champions League with the name of miracle, it was eventually eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals.
Affected by the overall environment of the team, Mahrez's own number of goals and assists also dropped significantly. Later, Manchester City also kept trying to buy him, but there was no result because of the transfer fee. Mahrez even took
Even if we resort to such extreme measures as a strike, we can only end up with a compromise.
Things are different now. Arsenal is no longer just spreading rumors, but has directly made an offer to Leicester City. Wenger still adheres to the style of thinking of doing big things with small money this time - the asking price is 35 million pounds, which is the same as Kante's.
The price is the same.
Leicester City did not agree to Arsenal's offer at the first time. In addition to thinking that the price was low, there was no definite candidate who would replace Mahrez after he left.
Leicester City's selection involves another former Dragons player - Pato.
After being loaned to Chelsea last season, Pato performed very well, at least far exceeding his salary of 2 million euros. However, the change of Chelsea head coach caused Pato to lose the opportunity again.
The new Chelsea coach Conte has a tough personality and outstanding likes and dislikes. Pato is not the type of player he admires. Therefore, after the end of the season, there are many rumors that Pato, who has performed well, will leave Chelsea. It is difficult for this player to regain his form.
There are also many teams that are interested, including Leicester City.
After the constant entanglement of the "love triangle" of Leicester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal, things finally took shape.
After many rounds of bargaining with Leicester City, Arsenal bought Mahrez from Leicester City for 45.7 million pounds, while Leicester City bought Pato for 16 million pounds.
In this transaction chain, the Dragons became the biggest winner. In addition to Pato's transfer fee being made in vain, Mahrez also received 30% of the second transfer share when he transferred to Leicester City for 2 million pounds.
The Longteng team once again received 1,371 pounds, which means that from the three transfers this time, the Longteng team received nearly 260 million yuan in revenue.
After some media disclosed the transfer process, they concluded: "The Longteng team became the big winner of this transfer."
It can be said that through the three foreign players of Pato, Kante, and Mahrez, the Longteng team has gained a great reputation in Europe. Many fans in Europe, especially the Premier League, know that there is a football club in China that will not only buy, buy, buy, but also
He will also train and coach players.
Domestic fans also jokingly said: "The Dragons are the masterminds behind Premier League transfers. They have clearly arranged the arrangements for the Premier League's giants."
Just when the vast majority of people in the country were watching this three-party transfer with the mentality of watching the excitement, they soon found that they had also become a player. Guangzhou Evergrande, which had been silent for a long time, once again broke the big news, that is, Chelsea
After selling Pato, forward Diego Costa, whose performance was extremely sluggish last season, was sold to Guangzhou Evergrande.
The price of this transfer is as high as 53 million pounds, which is 40 million yuan more expensive than Hulk, who recently joined Shanghai SIPG for 5580 euros. This will be another refresh of the price of the Chinese Super League's foreign aid king.
.
The arrival of Diego Costa has stunned fans across the country. As a former Chelsea star, his performance was high and low, but last season was the overall downturn of the team, and Costa was also implicated.
, his own strength is still undoubted, and his coming to the Super League is more due to Conte's distrust of him.
The fans had to sigh: "I found out that Guangzhou Evergrande was the biggest winner in the end."
Fans of Guangzhou Evergrande are still happy that the team has introduced world-class stars. After making a lot of money, the Longteng team began their journey to the Football Association Cup. This time their opponent is Jiangsu Suning.
Compared with the last league game, the Longteng team played all the main players this time, with Nie Jiang, Qi Ming, Tao Wentao, Xiang Tiange, and Du Zhenyu all starting. On the contrary, Suning had injuries. If the foreign aid,
Domestic players Xiao Yunfan, Ji Xiang, and Liu Jianye are all injured.
The Longteng team started with all its main players. Only five minutes into the game, Nie Jiang scored, and it was Tao Wentao who assisted him.
Li Xin and Dong Lu happened to commentate on this game. The former sighed: "Compared to the last game, the Longteng team is in a completely different state. Nie Jiang's technical ability in the frontcourt, Tao Wentao's offensive organization ability, Qi Ming
His rhythm control is definitely the best among domestic players now."
Throughout the first half, even if Ramirez kept running back and forth to participate in the defense, due to the weakness of other domestic players, the Suning team as a whole was still overwhelmed by the powerful pressing style of the Longteng team. The two defensive midfielders
The fact that both Wu Xi and Zhang Xiaobin received yellow cards is the best proof.
After the second half, Jiangsu Suning lost the ball again. This time, the cooperation between Nie Jiang and Qi Ming in the frontcourt attracted most of Suning's defensive attention. After receiving the transfer ball from Qi Ming, De Paul
, gaining a huge space for movement on the wing, he cut inside and entered the penalty area and successfully scored, extending the score to 2:0.
However, the star is still a star. Shortly after the Longteng team scored a goal in the second half, Teixeira used his personal ability to forcefully hit the gap left by the Longteng team's right wing after Tiange's advance, and passed two Longteng team players in a row.
Finally, his long-range shot from outside the penalty area caught Huang Dawei off guard and got a goal back for Jiangsu Suning.
Just when Suning regrouped and played several consecutive attacks because of this goal, the Longteng team successfully counterattacked again. Rock Gill intercepted the ball in the middle of Wu Xi, who came in to assist, and passed it to
Xiang Tiange, who ran all the way down the right wing and passed an inverted triangle pass, looking for center Zou Weijia. Although Zou Weijia in the middle could not turn around and shoot, he cleverly passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area.
Nie Jiang succeeded in a long shot from almost the same position as Teixeira, and the Longteng team once again expanded the score to 3:1.
Suning's head coach Cui Yongzhu quickly made adjustments. Zhang Xiaobin was replaced by Xie Pengfei, who had stronger offensive ability. The two full-backs who were at their physical limit, including Yang Xiaotian, who was suppressed by the two Longteng wings in this game, were replaced.
Substituted.
It can be seen that Choi Yongsu wants to give it a try.
It's a pity that the Longteng team's defense has become much more stable this time with Du Zhenyu. Ramirez's two consecutive headers were destroyed by Dawn with Du Zhenyu as a replacement. The set-piece tactics that Choi Yong-soo had hoped for were also destroyed.
Didn't succeed.
Even if Zhang Sheng subsequently substituted Nie Jiang, Tao Wentao and Xiang Tiange, the Longteng team, which had already played smoothly, still maintained its advantage on the court.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 3:1. Dong Lu had to sigh with emotion: "It was another typical Long Teng game, with high pressure throughout the game, constant pressing and smooth flow.
The pass was passed down, and in the end it was a goal from a key player in the frontcourt. The Longteng team, which had superior overall strength, won an expected victory."
Just the day after the game, Jiangsu Suning changed its domestic and foreign players. The Brazilian center Ruo, who had always performed poorly, was disliked by Cui Yongzhu because of his stand-up style of play. He was replaced by the less famous Colombian forward Roger.
Martinez replaced him. At the same time, Cui Yongzhu's confidant defense general Hong Zhengzheng also officially transferred to Suning. In the end, Suning came out on top in the competition with several clubs and spent 100 million to buy Longteng captain Zhou Zhou into the team.
, while everyone is still caught up in the aftermath of Diego Costa’s introduction storm, Jiangsu Suning has completed the signings of several key positions, and they can be regarded as the winners of summer signings.
With the completion of these transfers from Suning, the summer signings of the Chinese Super League for the 2016 season have also come to an end. Except for the Longteng team, which is still selling foreign aid and captains, basically all the Chinese Super League teams have made reinforcements. Overall
Investment once again reached a record high during the summer transfer period.
The competition in the Chinese Super League will be even more intense in the second half of the season.
