Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 050 Summer Transfer King

In the end, in this game, AC Milan beat Fiorentina 4-0 at home, Ambrosini scored AC Milan's fourth goal, and Mutu scored a goal for Fiorentina before the end of the game.

When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, the whole San Siro Stadium boiled, and the team used a big victory to bring the greatest joy to the new season's home court.

Zhang Yang's performance in the game was extremely dazzling. Of AC Milan's four goals, Zhang Yang scored one and assisted two. Only Ambrosini's goal in the end, he did not participate in it. However, Zhang Yang's running position still covered Ambrosini to a certain extent.

With the condition that he has not fully integrated into the team, his performance is already fantastic. His home debut at San Siro Stadium was perfect. You know, Zhang Yang came on as a substitute at halftime. In fact, he only played for 45 minutes to help the team win a big victory.

After the game, when the players celebrated the victory, Zhang Yang accepted an interview from a reporter from La Gazzetta dello Sport and talked about his views on his debut at home.

"How does it feel to help the team win a smooth victory in the first Serie A game in San Siro?" A reporter from La Gazzetta dello Sport asked.

Zhang Yang wiped his sweat with his jersey and said, "Florence is not a good opponent. When I was in Ligue 1, I heard that Serie A is different. Here, you have to make more efforts if you want to score a goal. Fortunately, I have many world-class teammates, and the opportunity is created. At that time, we accurately seized the opportunity. Everyone is very happy to be able to win such a victory in the first home game. Of course, this game is of more special significance to me personally. Thanks to the applause of the fans. They are the best.

Fabio, reporter of La Gazzetta dello Sport. Rickari was the first reporter of La Gazzetta dello Sport to contact Zhang Yang, so the newspaper also entrusted the task of interviewing Zhang Yang to this person. At this time, Fabio. Likari also sighed a little. Under the description of those French colleagues, Zhang Yang is simply a synonym for being unruly and difficult to get along with. However, looking at Zhang Yang's current performance in interviews and after coming to Italy, he is talkative and polite. He is simply a 'modesty gentleman'. .

In particular, Zhang Yang's performance in the European Super Cup has won the respect of Sevilla fans and the praise of the media and fans. Even the Feigaro newspaper, which once fought with Zhang Yang, had to admit, "This night's publicity is different from usual. He won the respect of his opponent.

"Florence has always been an excellent team. How does it feel to play? Is there any pressure?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "If there is no pressure, it is impossible. However, for me, the biggest pressure is from the fans in the stands. I'm afraid that I will disappoint the people who come to play. Fortunately, the result is good.

Fabio. Ricari smiled. This young star's words can be seen from his arrogance. Presumably the Florentines will not like it.

"Now someone is talking about you and Ibrahimovic."

Zhang Yang said, "Ibrahimovic? He is a champion star and one of the best shooters on the planet, but I don't like this comparison.

"You have won the top scorer in two leagues in Ligue 1, do you still have this goal now?"

Zhang Yang said seriously: "Of course, I am a striker. The responsibility of a striker is to score goals and score as many goals as possible. For a scorer, in terms of personal honor, becoming a golden boot is the biggest praise for him in a season."

"AC Milan and Kaka, he plays the most important role in Milan's attack?"

Zhang Yang knows the meaning of the reporter's words, that is to say, Kaka is the real core of Milan. He will divide a lot of offensive power from you. Zhang Yang said cautiously: "This shows two problems. First, it shows that we have a lot of attack points. Second, it shows that our strength is stronger. I just had a sentence. Without saying, personal honor is very important, but it is more important for the team to win.

"Do you think AC Milan will win the league championship?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Of course, this is our goal."

After being interviewed by the reporter, Zhang Yang returned to the locker room to celebrate the victory of the game with his teammates. He obviously felt that after these games, his teammates respected him a lot and got close to him a lot. This is not the original superficial and verbal respect. This is a kind of real respect and affection. Close.

Take Pirlo as an example. He now trusts Zhang Yang more and more. As long as Zhang Yang wants the ball, if there is no accident, the 'Milan brain' will come. This means that in the eyes of his teammates, Zhang Yang has been able to bear the heavy responsibility of this attack, and they believe that he can make some gains.

While the players are celebrating the victory and chatting in the locker room, the post-match press conference of the game is in progress.

The team won and won two consecutive wins in the league. Ancelotti was in a good mood, so although Prandelli had not come to the press conference, Ancelotti was not impatient to wait.

After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Fiorentina head coach Prandelli came. After shaking hands with Ancelotti, he fired directly: "What happened in tonight's game is a victim for Fiorentina! As for what happened, I think everyone understands what I mean. This matter won't be like this.

A reporter from Milan immediately asked, "The slow motion shows that the ball is indeed on the goal line, and the ball did not score!"

Prandelli immediately said angrily, "I haven't seen any slow mirror replays. I believe my eyes. I saw the goal, but the goal was deprived. I don't know why the referee didn't see the goal! This is his reason! That's it. I still have to comfort my players whose efforts have been hit.

After saying that, Prandelli left the table angrily and left in a hurry, leaving only the stunned Ancelotti and dozens of reporters at the scene. They really didn't expect that Prandelli would be so gaffes and not a gentleman, as if he had been wronged. The fact is already clear that the ball in Florence is indeed It doesn't exist. Florentines are confused by their own judgments. No wonder others.

Ancelotti was a little embarrassed. This gentleman with a good personality could only smile and sing a monologue by himself. First, he commented on his views on the game. "Florence performed very well in the first half. They made trouble for us, but in the second half In the game, we showed greater cohesion and high fighting spirit. When the opportunity came, we seized it. All of these are the reasons why we won.

"Florence's 'goal'? I can only say that from my point of view, the goal didn't score, but Tassotty just reminded me to watch the video and confirmed my opinion, so we won righteously.

Then Ancelotti answered several questions raised by reporters. Ancelotti expressed his appreciation for Zhang Yang's performance, and at the same time believed that Zhang Yang's performance had room for further improvement. "Zhang is a great player. He has proved his greatness in Marseille. He doesn't need to prove anything to fans and the media. . This is a player who can bring the championship to Milan. His cooperation with Kaka is getting closer and better, and the third goal is great.

Gulkuf, who has been unperforming, scored today, so this young French young man is also a topic of media attention.

Ancelotti said: "There is no doubt about Gulkuv's football talent. I know that the media is criticizing him. This is because we have high expectations for him. In fact, he has been making progress all the time. A talented player grows slowly. Few people will do it overnight. We must be patient. He did a great job today. He played very actively today. His goal played a big role in the team's final win. He did a good job today.

After two rounds of the league, AC Milan won two consecutive victories. And with the advantage of goal difference, Inter Milan and Juventus and AC Milan scored the same points. The 2007/2008 season of Serie A showed fierce competition at the beginning.

At the same time, the transfer market window in the summer of 2007 was also officially closed.

Although this season's transfer market is lively, it can be called starlight. Not only is a real heavyweight transfer difficult to find, but the transfer fee for a single transaction is not as good as before - similar to the previous transfer that of Real Madrid can really cause an earthquake in football like Zidane, Feigo and Ronaldo. Almost nothing.

The summer transfer king appeared from the beginning. Zhang Yang transferred from Marseille to AC Milan and spent 43 million euros. At that time, when some people were surprised by Zhang Yang's value, they also judged that this would be the transfer king this summer, and later it really proved to be so.

Robben transferred from Chelsea to Real Madrid, Torres transferred from Atletico Madrid to Liverpool, and the transfer fee was 36 million euros. None of them could surpass the value of Zhang Yang.

Torres's transfer has actually started before the end of last season. At that time, Benitez, who received a £50 million transfer promise from the American boss, is the first thing he wants to add is the team's front line. What the Spaniard needs is a single arrow that can really play an important role in his 451 formation. Due to the accumulation of Atletico Madrid, Torres makes some transfer messages almost every year. A year ago, Benitez tried the possibility of acquiring the Golden Boy in his hometown, but at that time, the Red Army was shy, and Torres was not resolute in his intention to leave, so the transfer has been delayed for a year.

This summer, Benitez received financial support. On the one hand, he called Torres many times to talk about the pros and cons, which made the latter determined to leave Atletico Madrid and go to Anfield to seek higher development. On the other hand, he bargained with Atletico Madrid in price negotiations, and in the end, there was a lack of real bidding. In the case of the opponent, he took Torres back to Liverpool with 24 million pounds (36 million euros) to complete the final patchwork on his 451 tactical system.

In the negotiations, in order to show sincerity, Liverpool agreed to return Luis Garcia half-buy and half-free discount to Atletico Madrid. Therefore, in fact, the value of Torres should be more than 36 million euros. However, according to the Times's valuation, Torres's value can reach up to 41 million euros, and it still does not exceed Zhang Yang's 43 million euros.

Robben's situation is completely different. When Calderon ran for office, Robben was introduced as one of the three promises. As a result, he was criticized for his words after being elected. Real Madrid's real goal this summer is actually Kaka, and the second goal is Fabregas. Robben, who has been injured in the last two seasons, is actually only the third target at most. After AC Milan bought Zhang Yang, Real Madrid seemed to see the opportunity to take Kaka from Milan. However, after more than a month of sawing with Milan and Kacara, Real Madrid realized that Brazilian genius could not come to Bernabeu this season. In addition, Fabregas was desperate to follow Wenger, so they were in a hurry. China and Chelsea began negotiations. However, the other party is a person who can't kill money. Although Robben has become a chicken rib under Mourinho, Stanford overseas Chinese have no intention of reducing the price - at worst, there is no shortage of money. In the end, Real Madrid, which had been waiting for a long time, gritted its teeth and accepted Chelsea's offer. 36 million won Robben, and Calderon also slightly saved the face that had lost credibility. Therefore, Robben's transfer is more symbolic than practical. In a sense, Robben's value is a little exaggerated.

Therefore, the transfer market in the summer of 2007 did not have a very sensational effect. Zhang Yang, a 21-year-old Chinese young man, became the transfer king this summer, which not only surprised some people, but also made sense. The young man's performance in the Champions League last season was really amazing. At that time, "All Market" valued Zhang Yang at 35 million euros. However, Zhang Yang's performance attracted the popularity of Chelsea, Manchester United and AC Milan, and the price soared for sure. The value of 43 million euros surprises some people at best, but it is definitely not too exaggerated.

Some media also joked that Zhang Yang is the least famous standard in the summer transfer market in recent years. Torres, Robben and Henry, who are less valuable than him, have long been famous superstars for many years. At best, Zhang Yang is the most popular young superstar.

However, a few years later, everyone looked back on this summer and exclaimed that this was the greatest standard in the history of football!
