Chapter 608 The world has suffered from the Soviet Union for a long time!
At the last moment before the transfer market closed, Real Madrid officially announced that Robinho had officially transferred to Manchester City!
This news quickly detonated the European football world and caused a huge reaction around the world.
Blue Moon Manchester City, a team that has always been hovering near the relegation zone in the Premier League, has finally entered the eyes of fans all over the world in a wealthy way after a lengthy acquisition soap opera.
Real Madrid president Calderon said on the official website that Robinho has accepted Manchester City's personal contract and Real Madrid had no choice but to accept the offer from Manchester City, but he did not disclose the specific transfer fee.
At the same time, Calderon also said that the sale of Robinho will not affect Real Madrid's great goal this season.
The Real Madrid president promised that he has the confidence to lead Real Madrid back to the top of Europe and reproduce the glory of dominating European football in the past.
However, there is no impenetrable wall in this world.
Catalan media Daily Sports was the first to break the news that Real Madrid sold Robinho for 42 million euros, and the transfer process was not as reluctant as Calderon said, as if it was for favors, but in fact, Daily Sports revealed that it would be difficult for Real Madrid to refuse the price offered by Manchester City.
Of course, the most important reason is that Robinho was completely heartbroken by Real Madrid's management.
…
Manchester City's acquisition of Robinho set off a sensation in world football.
But the real bombshell came from The Sun's subsequent revelations.
The British paparazzi, known for its insider information, revealed Manchester City's grand plan after reporting the news about Robinho.
It turns out that while poaching Robinho, Manchester City actually had other recruitment targets. The tycoon from the Middle East set his sights on many superstars including Robinho, Berbatov, Kaka, Aguero, etc., and was even just a little bit away from poaching Robinho and Berbatov at the same time.
But in the end, Tottenham Hotspur sent Robinho to Manchester United for a transfer fee of 37 million euros, while Manchester City snatched Robinho from Chelsea for a transfer fee of 42 million euros and an annual salary of 6 million euros.
The Sun revealed that Manchester City's new management team took office hastily and many things have not been dealt with properly, resulting in Soriano and Begiristain only having two days to operate after taking over Manchester City. It was very hasty and they could only choose one among many targets, but the real highlight will be in the winter break of this season.
"Sudon is Manchester City's top target for signings. The Middle Eastern consortium chose Soriano and Begiristain because they had a very good relationship with Sudon when he played for Barcelona, and they hope to use their relationship to poach Sudon from Bayern."
"Not only that, Manchester City will also equip Su Dong with a strong squad, including Robinho, Aguero, Kaka, and even superstars such as Messi and Iniesta, who are all in Manchester City's recruitment plan."
The Sun stated that the financial resources of the Abu Dhabi consortium far exceed those of Abramovich. They are also passionate about running a Premier League club. It is not a one-time deal, so they are more willing to spend money and hope to build Manchester City into a top European club in the shortest possible time.
But this is very difficult because Manchester City has never had the foundation required by a top team.
"But if we can really recruit Su Dong, I believe Manchester City will become a new force that cannot be underestimated in the Premier League and even European football, because Su Dong has the ability to carry the entire team on his own!"
…
The Sun's news quickly caused an uproar.
Su Dong took the lead in clarifying the matter through his agent Mendes, stating that they had not had any official contact with Manchester City.
There is nothing wrong with this clarification.
When Soriano and Begiristain approached Mendes, they had not yet officially taken office and no agreement had been reached.
Su Dong stated through Mendes that he is a Bayern player and has no intention of leaving the team for the time being.
"What he wants to do most now is to help Bayern continue to succeed. He will continue to fulfill the contract he signed with Bayern, and also hopes to bring more victories, more honors, and better football to Bayern fans!"
Bayern officials also quickly came out to clarify.
Hoeness said in an interview with the media that Bayern would never sell Sudong for money, and there is no plan to sell Sudong in the past, present or future. "If conditions permit, we even hope that Sudong can stay in Bayern until he retires."
Beckenbauer also said that Su Dong would not leave the Bundesliga easily.
"I have talked to him many times. He is a person with long-term plans and will not change his plans easily. Therefore, I don't think he will leave the Bundesliga in the near future. Of course, Bayern cannot accept the consequences of his leaving the Bundesliga. He is the most important player and the core competitiveness of the team."
Chairman Rummenigge also promised the fans that Bayern would never take the initiative to sell Sudon.
"At the just concluded board meeting, we have just announced the most impressive financial data in history, and a very large part of the growth came from the Champions League and Su Dong, and the two are one and the same. Su Dong is our most important player and the guarantee for the team to win championships and honors. We have no reason to sell him!"
With the successive statements from Su Dong and the Bayern giants, the news of Manchester City poaching Su Dong has come to a temporary end, but everyone has clearly felt that the rules of the game in European football are quietly changing.
In the past, giants and superstars complemented each other, but now, superstars undoubtedly have more choices. They don’t have to go to giant teams. They can also go to teams like Manchester City to make big money.
Ferguson publicly criticized Manchester City in the media, believing that the Blue Moon's behavior violated the basic laws of football, undermined the market rules of professional football, and would inevitably lead to further inflated player transfer fees.
Player transfer fees had already been inflated once during Chelsea's entry, but now, Manchester City's entry will definitely further exacerbate this phenomenon.
But what makes Ferguson and others feel helpless is that the capitalization of the Premier League has become an inevitable trend.
Foreign capital poured in crazily, and as the broadcasting rights were auctioned for higher and higher prices, the purchasing power of Premier League teams became stronger and stronger. Capital also saw the development potential and potential returns, so naturally it became more eager to invest. Coupled with the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, European professional football became a very good safe haven.
Everyone believes that Manchester City is not the first team and will never be the last.
…
The summer transfer market was somewhat dull as several players who became very popular in the European Cup did not enter the transfer market.
Especially Arshavin, who ultimately failed to transfer, surprised many people.
In the transfer market, Mourinho's newly-taken Barcelona has made the biggest move. Not only did it spend a lot of money to sign Alves, it also strengthened various positions and invested over 100 million in transfer fees in an attempt to regain its glory in La Liga and the Champions League.
The most controversial of these is the second return of Portuguese winger Quaresma.
When this Portuguese genius first came to Barcelona, he was dubbed Figo II, but he left after only one year and transferred to Porto for a transfer fee of 6 million euros.
In the Portuguese Super League, Quaresma performed very well and was highly praised by Mourinho. After taking over Barcelona, he signed Quaresma against all odds, trying to build two wingers headed by Quaresma and Messi. The Portuguese winger cost 25 million euros, which was 19 million euros more than when he left the team before.
The deal caused an uproar, especially protests from Barcelona fans. Cruyff even directly criticized Mourinho and Barcelona management in his column, saying that this was a very stupid decision.
"They are wasting huge amounts of money bringing in a player the team may not be able to rely on at all!"
But Mourinho said he had full confidence in Quaresma.
Throughout the summer, Barcelona spent 120 million euros in transfer fees, making it the team that invested the most in European football.
Mourinho promised that he will lead Barcelona to success this season!
…………
…………
After the transfer market closed, the media and fans' attention returned to the domestic league.
In the Bundesliga standings, Bayern Munich tops the list with three consecutive wins and is the only team in the Bundesliga with three consecutive wins.
After Bayern, Schalke 04, Hamburg, Dortmund and other teams followed closely. Hoffenheim changed its dark horse status in the first two rounds and fell to seventh in the league. Although it is still good for a newly promoted team, it is still in decline after all.
However, in the scorer list, Hoffenheim's top scorer Ibisevic still topped the list with five goals, surpassing Su Dong's four goals, which made the German media very excited.
The saying of "the world is in chaos" is that the world has suffered from Su Dong for a long time! Now, whoever can stand up and kill Su Dong will be a hero!
Therefore, the entire German media and fans are expecting Ibisevic to score again, and it would be best if he could continue to suppress Su Dong.
…
In the fourth round of the league, Bayern will challenge Cologne away.
Before the game, Su Dong accepted an interview with media reporters under the arrangement of the club and responded to Ibisevic's challenge for the first time. He smiled and said that he was also paying attention to Ibisevic's games and performances.
"He is a very good scorer and I am looking forward to it and hope that he can continue to score goals."
Su Dong said that he welcomes more top players to come to the Bundesliga to create competition, which is beneficial to both the Bundesliga and himself. He also hopes to use competition to continuously improve his strength and maintain a stable state.
This undoubtedly also reflects Su Dong's confidence! He no longer needs to elevate himself by belittling his opponents, because he has already stood high enough.
What he needs to compare himself with is not his opponent.
Only he himself is his strongest opponent, so Su Dong’s goal from beginning to end is very clear, that is, self-breakthrough.
As for Ibisevic, does anyone really believe that he can always suppress Su Dong like this?
