Chapter 128 Advance to the main race

The summer transfer market in 2009 is destined to be remembered.

Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid's soap opera finally has a final episode.

Real Madrid Club officially announced on June 5 that the AC Milan star officially joined, and the Brazilian's value reached 65 million euros, which also made Kaka the second most valuable player in football history. The highest value is still Zhang Yang. He transferred from AC Milan to Manchester City last year. The membership fee is as high as 75 million pounds, which is about 90 million euros.

The whole of Madrid is boiling because of Kaka's arrival, but As News said excitedly to Real Madrid fans, "Kaka is coming, this is just the beginning!"

Why do you say that?

This is because Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid is coming to an end.

Florentino built the Galactic Battleship with one hand. On the silvery warship, there were Casillas and Robert. Carlos, Zidane, Figo, Beckham, Ronaldo and Raul are the seven superstars! The 'Galaxy Battleship' is also generally regarded as the most luxurious team in the history of football!

Now, Florentino was re-elected as the chairman of Real Madrid, and immediately rolled up a bloody storm again.

While the waves of Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid were still rippling, Cristiano Ronaldo was getting closer and closer to Bernabeu.

On June 11, Manchester United announced through its official website that they would accept Real Madrid's offer for Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid immediately negotiated a personal contract with the Portuguese star.

Such a statement is almost equivalent to announcing that Cristiano Ronaldo has transferred to Real Madrid. Manchester United accepted the offer from Real Madrid, which is the biggest obstacle for Cristiano Ronaldo to transfer to Real Madrid. For players personally, they have long been in love with Real Madrid. It won't be a big problem to meet nature.

Just a week later, Real Madrid excitedly announced: We are very happy to reach an agreement with Manchester United on the joining of Cristiano Ronaldo. From now on, Cristiano Ronaldo is from Real Madrid!

Almost at the same time, on the official website of Manchester United, it was also announced that Cristiano Ronaldo officially bid farewell to Old Trafford Stadium. On the official website, he also sent his best wishes to the Portuguese star. In the six years of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 291 games for the Red Devils. Under Ferguson's **, Cristiano Ronaldo gradually grew into one of the world's best stars, during which he won the Premier League championship three times with Manchester United. In 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo helped Manchester United win the European championship trophy, which is also the biggest reason why Cristiano Ronaldo was able to win the two highest personal honors of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Globe.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the second star to join Real Madrid after Kaka, and Real Madrid officially announced that Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer fee is as high as 80 million pounds. In this way, the Portuguese's transfer fee has also changed the highest record in football. According to Spanish media, Cristiano Ronaldo's annual salary will reach 13 million euros, an increase of 5.5 million from when he played for Manchester United.

Interestingly, The Sun revealed that on the transfer fee from Manchester United to Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been secretly connected with Real Madrid, did not help Real Madrid to push the price to Manchester United, but to Florentino. A request was made, that is, the value of his transfer to Real Madrid must exceed that of Zhang Yang!

In fact, there has been a lot of arguments about who is better between Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo. Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo defeated Zhang Yang by a very narrow margin in the European Golden Globe Awards and the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, which also made Zhang Yang's fans very dismayed. He believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is in the light of Manchester United's good performance.

This also made Cristiano Ronaldo very upset, so he insisted that he could surpass the promotion in the transfer fee and establish himself as the most valuable player. Talented people are very proud. This is also the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer value is exactly 5 million pounds higher than the transfer value maintained by Zhang Yang!

While Real Madrid set off a huge wave in the transfer market, Manchester City, which was also highly expected by the media, was a little silent.

It was not until July 3 that Manchester City's second signing of the season was born. They spent 24 million pounds to buy England's international central defender Lescott from Everton.

Manchester City Club's acquisition in this summer's transfer market is not as stormy as last summer, but very stable. They are not as eager to introduce superstars on the offensive line at the beginning as they did last season, but further consolidated the team's defense.

Gareth. Barry and Lescott are both England's international defenders. One is the captain of Aston Villa and the other is the defensive core and captain of Everton. Manchester City has pocketed the two captains with a lot of money, and their arrival will greatly enhance Manchester City's defense.

Lescott's arrival is mainly to make up for Manchester City veteran Richard. Deng En is old, and his weakness in the central defender position has appeared due to his declining strength.

Central defender Ben Haym, who joined the team from Chelsea last summer, performed quite well this season. After Lescott joined the team, Ben Haym was also sold to Portsmouth by the team. As soon as they go in and out, Manchester City's strength on the defensive line has improved a lot.

In addition, due to Gareth. Barry can play both a central defender, a left-back, a left-back, and a back. Therefore, Manchester City fans for Gareth. Barry and Lescott's arrival was very surprised. Zhang Yang, Robinho and Ronaldo are here. Manchester City's offensive ability is not a problem. The team's defense has been unstable. Manchester City will participate in the Champions League this season. The media and fans have also been worried that Manchester City lacks experience in the Champions League and faces Real Madrid. When Barcelona and other giants are in the past, the defense line will face too much pressure. Now, the arrival of these two will make Manchester City's defense more stable. At least, Manchester City fans have a lot of peace of mind, after all, Gareth. Barry and Lescott are both England's main international stars.

It can be said that although Manchester City's acquisition this summer is not as crazy as last year, it is very targeted, and almost every transfer is very purposeful. The Manchester City Evening News also praised Alfaim, the president of Manchester City. Arabs don't know much about football, but he knows how to listen to the advice and opinions of professionals. The establishment of a team and a dynasty requires a solid foundation. There is no doubt about the importance of modern football and defense. After the crazy accumulation of offensive stars, Manchester City finally realized the shortcomings and began to transform the defense line.

Gares was introduced. After Barry and Lescott, Manchester City finally made waves again on the offensive line.

Subsequently, Manchester City poached Manchester United, its sworn enemy of the same city.

This time, Manchester City took a fancy to Manchester United's striker, Argentine Tevez.

In fact, Manchester United did not intend to put Tevez into the transfer market. After Cristiano Ronaldo transferred to Real Madrid, Manchester United now only has Rooney, Belbatov and Tevez. They won't let Tevez go at this time, because it's not easy to introduce a striker who can match Tevez's strength in the transfer market.

However, what Mann couldn't think of was that Tevez chose to leave.

For a big club like Manchester United, there are almost no players they want to keep. But this summer, Ronaldo and Tevez, two big names, actually left together. Ronaldo's trip to Real Madrid should be a matter of course, because Manchester United reached this tacit understanding with Real Madrid last season. So, why does Tevez, whom Manchester United is looking forward to retaining, leave?

In short, Tevez's deteriorating and fading relationship with Manchester United is the main reason why the Argentine striker left.

In order to retain Tevez, Manchester United did not hesitate to pay 25.5 million pounds to "turn Tevez's contract into a regularization" and agreed to provide Tevez' five-year long-term contract and the highest player's salary, but none of these failed to retain Tevez.

Manchester United fans are well aware of the value of Tevez. It was Tevez's goal in Manchester United's last four rounds of the Premier League that allowed them to win the championship three times and repel Liverpool's challenge. Manchester United fans petitioned the club, urging the club owner to keep Tevez.

Looking back to September of the year, Tevez also said in person, "When I first came here, I hoped to sign a long contract. If the chairman of Manchester United can put the long-term contract on the table, I will sign it without hesitation.

However, the first person to sign a contract with Manchester United was former Tottenham Hotspur striker Berbatov, who made an offer of £30.75 million, and Tevez delayed again and again, trying to lower the price.

Tevez performed very hard on the court, scoring a total of 34 goals in two seasons, including 15 goals last season.

At the same time, Tevez did not get the expected starting opportunity in major events such as the European Champions League, which made him increasingly dissatisfied.

When this summer transfer period comes, Tevez has made up his mind to leave. In addition, rich clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea have shown him well, and Tevez is more determined to leave.

If last season's Manchester City, maybe Tevez will disdain it, then Manchester City is attractive to any star now. There are stars like Zhang Yang and Robinho and Ronaldo in Manchester City, and the latecomers are facing the media and fans' 'go to Manchester City for money'. When it comes to blame, they can defend themselves more righteously; of course, and most importantly, Manchester City has qualified for the Champions League, showing a strong upward momentum.

On July 26, Manchester City announced that Manchester United's Argentine striker Tevez transferred from Manchester United to Blue Moon for £25.5 million!

"Manchester City is still the same Manchester City, and they still can't change the problem of accumulating offensive stars (the kind of upstarts). Of course, this time, they have also done a good job in the transformation of the defensive line." - The Times still praises Manchester City's signing so far this summer. They are Manchester City's signing scored 7 points.

"... Tevez is the kind of star who can improve the team's offensive ability, but, Mark. Hughes should be careful of the hot temper of Argentines. Of course, in Manchester City, no one is qualified to be arrogant in front of publicity..." - The Guardian

At this time, Manchester City has been training for a week. Because they are going to play in the Champions League qualifiers, they are about a week earlier than the other three teams that will play in the Champions League.

On August 1, Manchester City played a pre-season heavyweight warm-up match, and they lost bis-4 to Inter Milan.

Zhang Yang failed to score in the game. Mourinho arranged Materazzi and Vieira to work together to restrain Zhang Yang, which achieved good results.

After the warm-up match, the English media began to have a heated discussion about how long Zhang Yang and Manchester City can play in the Champions League.

The Sun even said rudely that Manchester City's current state, let's think about how to pass the Champions League qualifiers first.

Manchester City's opponent in the Champions League qualifiers is the Celtics, which should be said to be the worst opponent they can meet in the qualifiers.

This is mainly because Manchester City has not entered the Champions League for so many years, and their European points are almost negligible. Therefore, they met the Celtics, who are stronger among the non-five league teams in the qualifying competition.

For this suspicion and discussion of the media, Zhang Yang was very indifferent in an interview. He said, "The Celtics must not want to meet us."

On August 15, the 2009/2010 Premier League season kicked off.

Manchester City's opponent in the first round of the season was Blackburn. In the end, they beat their opponent 1-0 away from home. Zhang Yang failed to score, but he gave an assist and created a penalty. The penalty was sent by Ronaldo.

Three days later, they defeated the Scottish Premier League giant Celtics 2-0 away from home, and won a complete victory in the first round of the two-round Champions League qualifiers. Zhang Yang scored twice in the game!

Manchester City used two consecutive wins to make a good start for the new season of the Premier League and their prospects in the Champions League.

Compared with the situation of Manchester City, their rival Manchester United is not in a good situation. In the first round of the league, Manchester United struggled to beat Birmingham 1-0 at home. In the middle of the week, when Manchester City played away from home and the Celtics, the second round of the Premier League was over, and Manchester United lost 1-0 away. It was given to the promoted Ma Burnley.

After this defeat, the Guardian also fired on Manchester United's inaction in this summer's transfer market: 80 million pounds for Cristiano Ronaldo, 25.5 million pounds for Tevez, and Manchester United sold all the two major goal machines in the team in one summer... In terms of buyers, they just ate Valen from Wigan. West Asia introduced Obertan from Bordeaux. The combined price of these two people is not as good as that of Tevez. They signed Owen with zero transfer fee. If you look at it from the perspective of making money, Manchester United has made a lot of money... Look at Manchester United's previous transfer jobs - Vidic, Carrick, Hargreaves, Berbatov... The Lord, who has to sign a (or several) big-name star almost every year, chose to keep a low profile this year. After the two cannons were removed, who can make up for the huge gap? No one knows that in the match between Manchester United and Burnley, Manchester United besieged the home team for almost 90 minutes, but they didn't know how to break the goal. On the contrary, they were attacked by Burnley. Presumably Lord Fu must have a headache now...

Three days later, the third round of the 2009/2010 season kicked off. Manchester City beat Wolves 1-0 at home, and Zhang Yang scored the only goal in the game. This is also his first goal in the Premier League this season.

In this round of the league, Manchester United, which was criticized and accused by the media of weak reinforcement and weak attack, broke out. They slaughtered Wigan Athletic -5 on the road. Berbatov staged a hat-trick, and Rooney also scored a goal.

Three days later, on August 25, 2009, in the second round of the third round of the 2009/2010 Champions League qualifiers, Manchester City defeated the Celtics 3-1 at home, eliminated the Scottish Premier League with a total score of 5 to 1, and reached the top 32 of the Champions League.

The Celtics scored at the beginning of the game, and Zhang Yang scored for Manchester City in the 12 minutes of the game, which helped the team equalize the score and stabilized the team's hearts.

After the game, Zhang Yang led the whole team to make a sprint to the stands and cheered for the team's promotion to the Champions League.

Listening to the cheers of the fans in the stands, Zhang Yang is also very excited. It has been a season since the Champions League, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich... Wait, do you miss me?

Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, be careful, buddy is back!

Four days later, Manchester City beat Portsmouth ero away in the fourth round of the league, and assisted Tevez's goal for the first time on behalf of Manchester City. While helping the Argentines make their debut for Manchester City, they also helped the team win five consecutive victories in the league and the Champions League after the start of the season.

The Manchester City Evening News also cheered for the state of the Manchester City team. Their post-match title is:

Five consecutive wins! Manchester City warships set sail!
