I Want to Be the King of Football

With the approach of the new season, Manchester City's transfer signings have gradually received good news.

First, 30 million euros introduced Portuguese defender Pepe from Bayern Munich, followed by Portuguese international Moutinho from Sporting Lisbon for 10 million euros, and then 25 million euros from Bayern Munich. Munich signed Brazil's left-back Marcelo.

Three transfers cost 65 million euros, and Manchester City spends like water, without even blinking.

What is more striking is that behind these three transfer transactions, the broker is Mendes.

Suddenly, the Portuguese agent was once again pushed to the forefront.

This is not the first time.

In recent years, in almost every summer, Mendes has been a prominent figure in the transfer market.

Last year's Cristiano Ronaldo, this year, another big deal, the Portuguese agent can be described as the best in European football, so that everyone can feel his influence.

Among these three transfers, one was Su Dong’s junior junior in Sporting Lisbon, and the other was Su Dong’s best friends in Bayern Munich. This immediately made the media around the world excited again.

The news about Su Dong's transfer to Manchester City has long been tumultuous, and neither Manchester City nor Bayern have come forward to refute the rumors, but the German media revealed that Bayern is close to signing Stuttgart center Mario Gomez.

Why sign Gomez?

Needless to say the answer.

Now everyone knows that Su Dong is leaving the team, and it's just a matter of official announcement.

The transfer of superstars like Su Dong is often a long soap opera, but this time it is indeed too long.

Since 2008, the Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City. In every transfer period, Manchester City will be connected with Su Dong. Every time it is passed with a nose and an eye, everyone thinks Su Dong will join Manchester City, but every time it ends without disease. .

Relatively speaking, this time, the spread is more true, after all, even Su Dong's mansion has been exposed.

Especially in mid-July, the all-pervasive British media even dug up the admission letter from the Oxford University Law School.

Su Dong's girlfriend Wang Chuqing was officially admitted to Oxford University Law School!

The Sun is even more conclusively concluded that Su Dong will go to the Premier League to play for his girlfriend!

Suddenly, the entire transfer market was turbulent.

…

While Manchester City has signed a series of large-scale signings, the arms race in the European transfer market is also in full swing.

After losing the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, Barcelona decided to bet on the Champions League again.

The core battle between Ibrahimović and Messi ended in Messi’s contract extension. The Swedish center announced the loan of AC Milan in Serie A. One year later, the Rossoneri could earn 24 million euros. Buy out Ibrahimovic at a very low price.

This is tantamount to treating fractures at a low price.

In addition, Ziglinski was also treated at a low price and returned to Shakhtar Donetsk.

Both transactions ended in failure, and Barcelona's signing effect is really touching.

After handling two failed transactions, Barcelona signed David Villa from Valencia for 40 million euros. This transaction exceeded Pepe’s 30 million euros and became a summer transfer. The new standard king in the market.

Mascherano is also between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​choosing to join Barcelona, ​​partnering with national teammate Messi, the transfer fee is as high as 30 million euros, plus Sevilla’s Brazilian defender Adriano spends Barcelona 10 million euros.

This summer, Barcelona spent a total of 80 million euros, which is a huge investment.

After selling Mascherano, Bayern immediately announced the signing of Gustavo from Hoffenheim, followed by Modric.

This series of transactions made Tony Kroos feel that his position in the club is not being taken seriously, especially his renewal request, Bayern can not meet Tony Kroos' requirements in salary and role positioning.

As a result, Tony Kroos publicly stated that he was considering invitations from other teams after Bayern renewed Modric.

Before this, Tony Cross specifically called Su Dong, and after learning about the situation, he resolutely chose Manchester City.

Three days later, Manchester City officially announced that they had signed Tony Kroos from Bayern Munich for 15 million euros.

This is the second midfielder Manchester City signed this summer.

But like Moutinho, Tony Kroos also failed to fully prove his strength in the top league.

At least, he hasn't really been alone.

Three players were signed from Bayern in one breath, which surprised the media all over the world.

Is it because Bayern's players are good and cheap, in line with Guardiola's positioning? Or is it to accommodate Su Dong?

The interpretation of the media varies. The Sun broke the news that the four signings for Manchester City this summer are all behind Mendes operating.

Tony Cross’s agent is not Mendes, but Mendes negotiated the deal on behalf of Manchester City.

"According to the information obtained by the reporter, Tony Cross had a relationship with Su Dong during Bayern, and he was also the player Su Dong recommended to Guardiola."

The Sun concluded that, in order to invite Su Dong, Manchester City even searched for his friends in Bayern and Valencia to join the team, the purpose is to make Su Dong can have a more comfortable playing environment in Manchester City.

"In Mansour's mind, Su Dong is like a flawless goddess, while Manchester City is a humble suitor. In order to allow Su Dong to join Manchester City willingly, Mansour has exhausted all his means. !"

…

Under the economic crisis, the purchasing power of the entire European football arena has fallen sharply.

As the richest league in the world, the Premier League is also affected by the economic crisis.

The traditional four major families have begun to tighten their money. It took less than 10 million euros for Manchester United to introduce Hernandez. Arsenal finally got their wish and signed Chamak, but proceeded with a free transfer.

The Bordeaux center had basically reached an agreement with Arsenal as early as last summer, and now the free transfer is not surprising.

Not to mention Liverpool, the Red Army has always been a representative of frugality. The signing of Meireles from Porto cost 11 million pounds, which is also a cost-effective signing.

Not only that, the Red Army also signed Joe Cole on a free transfer from Chelsea.

Joe Cole's free body made him pursued by teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. In the end, Joe Cole chose Liverpool, making Tottenham Hotspur feel very depressed, who has been pursuing him for a long time.

Head coach Redknapp said publicly that he was disappointed with Joe Cole joining Liverpool.

"I always thought he would choose Tottenham Hotspur, but I didn't expect him to go to Liverpool."

Redknapp was disappointed that he failed to recruit Joe Cole, but he still expressed ambitiously that after signing Brazilian midfielder Sandro and French defender Gallas, Tottenham Hotspur will have a new season. Opportunity to hit the Premier League championship.

No wonder Redknapp is so confident.

In the Premier League last season, Tottenham Hotspur finally reversed Liverpool, ascended to the fourth place in the league, and won the precious qualification for the Champions League, which gave Tottenham Hotspur great confidence. .

Redknapp said that the new season of the Premier League will be unprecedentedly exciting.

"In the past few years, the Premier League has been ruled by Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and even Liverpool. These four teams have always stopped playing at the forefront of the league. But last season, this tradition was broken."

Redknapp meant that Tottenham Hotspur will become the spoiler of the Premier League champions.

Perhaps it was because he felt that he was talking a bit too much, and Redknapp pulled Manchester City in again.

The Tottenham coach said that the strength of Manchester City has increased significantly in the new season, and the striker has become the team's biggest weakness.

"But as far as I know, they have finalized the world's scariest scorer, Manchester City's biggest weakness last season, and will become Manchester City's sharpest weapon in the new season!"

Redknapp's remarks were interpreted by the media as breaking the news that Su Dong will join Manchester City!

However, there are still many media questioning Manchester City and Su Dong.

The reason is simple, Guardiola has never proven his coaching level, especially last season.

With Manchester City's investment, they only finished sixth in the end, which is undoubtedly unsatisfactory.

Although Manchester City’s management has repeatedly emphasized their support and trust in Guardiola, there are still many media who have stated that the current head coach has become one of City’s weakest links.

Especially after rumors that Su Dong will join Manchester City, the coach is not worthy of Manchester City.

There are still many media who are questioning whether Su Dong can adapt to the Premier League and whether it can drive Manchester City?

You know, Robinho was also ambitious to join Manchester City, but the result?

Within half a year, the Brazilian began to disappear, and the transfer to AC Milan also plummeted.

Many British media have said that if Su Dong joins Manchester City, he will likely encounter Waterloo, and he will fall from the throne of the world's top football player.

"He can't adapt to the Premier League, let alone lead a mercenary group like Manchester City without stars to success!"

Such remarks not only exist, but there are many more.

Su Dong's remarks that he could not adapt to the Premier League have always been with him for many years.

As for Manchester City today, it goes without saying that the head coach is a rookie. In the team lineup, the biggest card is David Silva.

Pepe and Tony Kroos are both rotating roles in the national team. Marcelo was also controversial during his time at Bayern. The main reason was his sharp offensive, but the defense was too lax. It exploded in minutes.

Such a lineup is inferior to Su Dong in the past, whether it is in Valencia, Barcelona, ​​or Bayern Munich, and Manchester City is not attractive enough to allow superstars like Ribery and Robben to join. .

Back then, didn't Kaka just rejected Manchester City's financial temptation and resolutely chose Real Madrid?

Can Su Dong lead such a team to success?

It was in such a round of doubts, and with the eager anticipation of fans all over the world, Manchester City finally officially announced the transfer of Su Dong.

Like Su Dong joined Bayern from Barcelona, ​​free transfer.
