Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 431 Real Madrid's New Season Signings
At the press conference, McLaren showed an uplifting momentum in front of many media. It can be seen that McLaren is very happy to become the head coach of the England team, at least he has fulfilled his dream.

When talking about the topic of Wang Li, he said: "Alan Wang's ability is beyond doubt. In the J-League match between Real Madrid and Japan yesterday, he scored eleven goals himself. This kind of player cannot join It would be a huge loss for English football as a whole."

"I think Mr. Eriksson's biggest mistake when he was coaching the England team was to keep Alan Wang out of the England team. Alan Wang is very young, and young people have such a high level of football. It's normal to feel a little arrogant in my heart, and I understand him very well."

"For the development of England's football career, I think Alan Wang must join the national team. I hope to see him in my team all the time. He is the guarantee of England's victory."

McLaren's words are obviously showing favor to Wang Li. For this, the English media and fans are full of support. Wang Li's ability makes them unable to say anything against it, and the English fans hope that the England team can have Good results, now that McLaren is on stage as an Englishman, and superstar Alan Wang has also joined the team. It's a perfect ending, isn't it?

Fans are now eager to see what the new England team looks like.

At this time, Wang Li was still in Thailand.

They played a charity match against the Thai All-Stars in Bangkok yesterday afternoon.This is also their last Asian tour. After the game, they will fly back to Madrid to prepare for the new season of La Liga.

This game was a charity match for the Indian Ocean tsunami last year. The game attracted 4 local fans to watch the game. It is worth mentioning that Thailand’s Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his two daughters also came to the game site. I want a jersey.

When asking for the jersey with Wang Li, Thaksin said with a smile: "My two daughters are your fans, and I also like to watch you play football. You are doing great."

Wang Li was also a little happy to be praised by such a heavyweight, so he promised to send him the jersey he was wearing and the items of other Real Madrid players after the game.The conversation between the two was very smooth, but it was a pity that the looks of the two daughters Thaksin believed in were not the type that orientals liked.

Of course, these are all right.

The game was also played very smoothly. Only 5 minutes into the game, Real Madrid took the lead. Wang Li was fouled by the opponent's defender in the penalty area. The referee directly awarded a penalty. Zidane took the penalty overnight and took the lead Real Madrid broke the deadlock on the field.

In the 16th minute, Real Madrid made a comeback. Raul made a wonderful pass near the center line. Ronaldo quickly started to form a single-handed shot, broke into the penalty area and scored with his right foot, extending the score to 2:0.

After being conceded two goals by Real Madrid, the Thailand All-Stars counterattacked with all their strength, but faced with Real Madrid, whose physical condition and technical coordination were obviously stronger than their own, they did not get the slightest advantage on the court, despite several counterattacks. Chances were threatening, but they were all disintegrated by Real Madrid's substitute goalkeeper Lopez who replaced Iker Casillas.

The final score was 5:0. Wang Li was replaced in the 37th minute of the first half. For friendly countries, Real Madrid has always held the purpose of 'retaining strength', but in fact, Luxenberg wanted to exercise Substitute players.

After the game, Wang Li was asked by the media about McLaren. Wang Li was a little surprised. In fact, although he had a good impression of the England coach, he only said a few words at most. I didn't know that the coach valued him so much, so he replied: "Thank you Mr. McLaren for your trust. If I return to the England team, I will try my best to use my performance to let the fans know that this is the best team. choose."

The end of the game also announced the official end of Real Madrid's Asian tour. After the official press conference was held, Real Madrid flew back to Madrid collectively.

It's almost August, and they are also preparing for the new season.

Originally, this tour was very successful, Real Madrid got 4000 million euros, the gold rush trip was perfect, and left a good impression on Asian countries. However, FIFA Secretary-General Urs Linsi publicly criticized Real Madrid and Manchester United.

At the preparatory meeting for the World Cup in Germany on July 28, Lin Xi publicly stated that the trip to Asia by the European clubs was a devastation to the local teams, which seriously hindered the development of the Asian Football League.

In July, not only Real Madrid, Manchester United also made a trip to Asia due to the introduction of Dong Fangzhuo, a teenager from the ancient oriental country. Although they did not achieve as much as Real Madrid, their influence should not be underestimated.This kind of money-making trip by the two teams has caused dissatisfaction with FIFA.

"Although commercial competition is good for these giants, how does it affect Asian countries?" Lin Xi said, "As far as we know, Asian countries have trouble developing their own leagues. Easily ran to the tent of a wealthy family."

Speaking of this, Lin Xi seems to be very sympathetic to Asian countries. He continued: "The leagues of Asian countries have to change their league schedules in order to accommodate the visits of giants. The AFC has complained to FIFA that this has affected their unity. , This is tantamount to the big fish eating the small fish."

Urs Lindsey's words caused a lot of hype in the European media. Now is the preparation period for the World Cup in Germany, and various matters have been prepared. As the secretary general of FIFA, Urs Lindsey still has some influence of.

In fact, there are different voices within Real Madrid. On the way back, players such as Beckham and Carlos complained that the long-distance travel and jet lag had exhausted them. The intensive schedule and constant travel make the players feel physically and mentally exhausted.

However, this kind of complaint is of no avail. Neither the players nor FIFA have the right to dictate the decision of the rich clubs. Real Madrid and Manchester United are indeed making money. The first thing they do in Asia is money. Fans and business organizations in the country are willing to give money, and no one else can do anything about it.

After all, commercial competitions are not the business of a professional football club. Real Madrid still has to focus on official competitions. After returning to Madrid, the entire club is running again and has started preparing for the new season. It has continued to carry out some transfer-related matters. Work.

After returning from Asia, the team also calmed down, and the whole club focused on the new season.

The failure of the 2004-2005 season made Real Madrid executives sum up their lessons. They knew that Makelele's departure was a wrong decision for the club. Therefore, in this summer, they have been trying to introduce some defensive players to increase the team rear capabilities.

In Real Madrid's current lineup, the defense line is very weak, and the performance of several big-name stars is not very good. The defense line supported by Roberto Carlos and Casillas is too fragile.

So they mainly focused on the defenders.

The inherent offensive style of the Spanish league will make many defenders in the league uncomfortable. Although the defenders in Italy and England have strong personal abilities, it is difficult for them to adapt to the style of the Spanish league.

Therefore, Real Madrid's transfer department still focuses on the defenders of the Spanish team. Those defenders who perform well in small teams can become their targets.

Sergio Ramos is a Sevilla player.

In the 2002/2003 season, the growing Ramos only played once on behalf of the Sevilla B team, but in the following season, he played 25 times and scored two goals.At that time, he was photographed by his mentor Joaquin Caparros, who immediately called him into the first team, and on February 2004, 2, Sevilla challenged Deportivo La Coruña away to complete his La Liga career. It's a pity that the team lost 1-0 to the opponent in that game.

Before the start of the 2004/2005 season, Ramos signed a new contract with Sevilla and became a rising star of the team. Ramos also successfully transformed from a right back to a center back.

Although the defender is not as easy to become famous as the forward, the young Ramos has successfully established his main position in Seville through only one season of hard work, and was also selected for the Spanish national team in Aragones. This kind of performance really has to attract the attention of European giants.

Therefore, Real Madrid has been working hard for the transfer of Ramos this summer. They hope to introduce this Spanish supernova to increase Real Madrid's defense capabilities.

However, there is another reason why Real Madrid wants to introduce Ramos, and that is that Ramos is very popular in Spain.

Nowadays, it seems that the entertainment industry has entered the era of "male sex". Therefore, in addition to his solid defense and outstanding assist ability, Ramos has another layer of attraction to Real Madrid, or at least it has added a lot to Real Madrid's introduction of him. The bargaining chip, that is his handsome and popular.

Ramos has a bright smile, just like the brightest sunshine, and his golden semi-long straight hair is flying in the wind. His elegant demeanor can easily make a group of female fans scream, not to mention the handsome boy who was born as a football player. With unexaggerated muscles, such a perfect lover may not be found even with a lantern. In this regard, Wang Li is also inferior to him.

Moreover, Spanish female fans don't have to regret that as a defender, Ramos can't undress and celebrate after scoring a goal like Shevchenko, Totti and other frontcourt players to show off his perfect body, because Ramos has already taken a lot of ' The photobook of "Leaking Points" made all the female fans scream.

In Spain, there is no doubt about the attractiveness of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and this season Real Madrid has introduced Wang Li with a generous 2 million euros, which makes the team's reputation in Spain seem to overshadow Barcelona.

In the competition for Ramos, Barcelona will of course also play a role. For the Spanish team, the defense has always been their focus, but they have not done well. A young central defender with strength and potential value, not measurable.

Real Madrid’s poaching strategy is to use big-name players as lobbyists, make various promises, and pay more transfer fees. This is a three-pronged approach. After this series of practices, almost no player is not tempted .And Florentino's charisma was irresistible, and the cunning businessman had a natural geniality that made his sincerity felt.

Adding all these together, under Real Madrid's enthusiastic offensive, there are only a few players who are not tempted. Therefore, in European football, as long as Real Madrid really needs players, there are almost no players they can't buy.

For example, didn't Luis Figo, the former Barcelona captain, also join Real Madrid?Even though he bears the name of a Barcelona traitor, he eventually joined Real Madrid.

However, Figo chose Inter Milan this season. During Real Madrid's Asian tour, he had already contacted Inter Milan's chairman, Mr. Moratti, but Real Madrid failed to get a penny of the transfer fee, because Figo It's a free transfer.

Barcelona failed again in Ramos' competition. Although they were the league champions last season, they did not have the attractiveness and cordiality of Real Madrid. Ramos finally chose Real Madrid.

2700 million euros, Real Madrid does not hesitate!

This transfer caused a sensation throughout Spain!

Because before, Real Madrid had never introduced local stars.Ramos became the first native Spanish player signed by Real Madrid since Florentino was elected president of the club in July 2000.

After Ramos joined Real Madrid, Mina Mubres and Ruben also returned to Real Madrid on loan. The return of these two defenders has stabilized Real Madrid's defense, and Luxenberg doesn't have to worry too much about Real Madrid's rear. up.

After that, just to be on the safe side, Real Madrid signed another Diogo from the River Plate for free to supplement the depth of the full-back's bench and add another building block to Real Madrid's defense in the new season.

However, although Real Madrid attaches great importance to the defense, the focus of signings is still in the frontcourt. Every year, their investment in the frontcourt is huge. increased, but because Wang Li was about to be suspended for half a year, Luxenberg still expressed dissatisfaction with this striker line composed of big-name players.

So Robinho and Baptista, the two emerging striker stars, entered the eyes of the Real Madrid transfer department together.

Spanish players have always liked to introduce players from Brazil and Argentina, because players from these two countries can easily integrate into the style of the Spanish league, especially the frontcourt players from these two countries. Their delicate skills at their feet are very suitable for Spain, which advocates offense league.

Robinho started his professional career at Santos Football Club. Together with his teammate Diego, he was once known as the most promising twin star in Brazil.

Robinho's technique is extremely delicate, and his proficiency in "cycling" is one of his signatures. However, his thin body limits his potential. Fortunately, he is only 21 years old. As his body continues to mature, he will improve The space is still huge.

In Brazil, Robinho is known as "New Pele", "world-class dribbling master", his personal dribbling skills are very good, which is talked about by the entire Santos fans.

Real Madrid offered a price of 21 million euros for the 2200-year-old striker. This price moved Santos, but they still wanted to take a bite out of the Galacticos. As a result, Real Madrid, which was eager to supplement the striker, took out an extra 250 million euros. million euros.

For 2450 million euros, Robinho officially put on the Real Madrid jersey in the new season.

And Baptista, like Ramos, is a Sevilla player, but this transfer did not go smoothly, mainly because Baptista is so good.

Before this season, Baptista can be said to be the person Real Madrid hates the most, because every time they play against Sevilla, Real Madrid will suffer a huge blow because of Baptista's outstanding performance.

According to the statistics of "Real Sports", if it is not based on the season, but calculated on a yearly basis, Ronaldo and Eto'o are not Baptista's opponents.

Baptista scored a total of 2004 goals in La Liga in 24 and is a well-deserved top scorer of the year.Eto'o scored 22, only ranked second; Ronaldo only scored 18 goals.

Because of this, as soon as last season ended, Baptista became a hot figure in the transfer market. The Premier League's Arsenal and their rivals Tottenham Hotspur wanted to buy him at a high price, and he and Sebastian Villa's contract expires in 2008.But the Sevilla team knows that a Brazilian super-scorer like Baptista will definitely belong to a super club like Real Madrid or Barcelona in the future, so they have been threatening the transfer of two Premier League clubs in order to improve Barcelona. Putista's worth, to get more benefits for the club.

At the last moment of the transfer, Real Madrid could only attack with money and reported the price to 24 million euros within 2400 hours, catching up from behind, so Baptista belonged to the Galacticos.

After receiving the news, Real Madrid captain Raul quipped: "He was a threat to Real Madrid, but now he is our threat."

When Baptista came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid's crowded striker had another strong player. As a result, the competition for the main position became more brutal.

Until this time, Real Madrid's signings for the new season have come to an end.

However, a few simple transfers allowed fans throughout Europe to see Real Madrid's dominance.

"There is no player we can't buy."

Florentino's words are really not simple. Whether it is Robinho, Ramos, or Baptista, these three players are all hot new stars in the transfer market. Wang Li, who has long been judged by the media as "impossible to transfer", this season, Real Madrid's money and friendship offensive have won four more superstars.

After the trip to East Asia, Real Madrid amazed all the fans. It seems to be declaring to the world: As long as it is what I want, there is nothing I can’t buy!

The Galactic battleship for the new season has been fully assembled. All Madrid fans are looking forward to this battleship with a lot of new parts, which can exert its power as a giant!
