Chapter 420-480 Chapter 439 Real Madrid's new season signings

At the press conference, McClaren showed an excited momentum in front of many media. It can be seen that McClaren is very happy to become the head coach of the England team. At least he has fulfilled his dream.

When talking about Wang Li, he said: "Alan Wang's ability is beyond doubt. In yesterday's match between Real Madrid and Japan's J-League, he scored 11 goals by himself. If such a player cannot join the England team, it will be a huge loss for the entire English football team."

"I think the biggest mistake Mr. Eriksson made when he coached the England team was to keep Alan Wong out of the England team. Alan Wong is very young, and it is normal for young people to have some arrogance in their hearts when they have such a high level of football. I understand him very well."

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

McLaren's words were obviously a gesture of goodwill to Wang Li. In this regard, the English media and fans were all supportive. Wang Li's ability made them unable to say anything against him. In addition, English fans all hoped that the England team would achieve good results. Now that McLaren, an Englishman, had come to power, and superstar Alan Wang had also joined the team, this was a perfect ending, wasn't it? ?

Fans are now eager to see what the new England team will look like?

At this time, Wang Li was still in Thailand. ?

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

This match was a charity match for the Indian Ocean tsunami last year. It attracted 40,000 local fans to watch the game. It is worth mentioning that Thai Prime Minister Thaksin and his two daughters also came to the game and asked Wang Li for a jersey.

When asking Wang Li for a jersey, Thaksin smiled and said, "My two daughters are your fans. I also like watching you play football. You are doing great."

Wang Li was very happy to be praised by such a heavyweight, so he promised to give Thaksin the jersey he was wearing and other items of Real Madrid players after the game. The conversation between the two was very smooth, but unfortunately, the appearance of Thaksin's two daughters was not the type that Oriental people liked. ?

Of course, these don’t matter. ?

The game was also played smoothly. Just 5 minutes into the game, Real Madrid took the lead. Wang Li was fouled by the opponent's defender in the penalty area, and the referee directly awarded a penalty kick. Zidane took the penalty kick and scored, helping Real Madrid break 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 shot, broke into the penalty area and shot with his right foot to score, expanding the score to 2:0.

After being scored two goals by Real Madrid, the Thai All-Stars fought back with all their might, but they did not gain any advantage on the field against Real Madrid, which was obviously stronger in terms of physical conditions and technical coordination. Although they had several threatening counterattack opportunities, they were all destroyed by Real Madrid substitute goalkeeper Lopez who replaced Casillas.

The final score was 5:0. Wang Li was substituted in the 37th minute of the first half. For friendly countries, Real Madrid has always held the principle of "retaining strength", but in fact, Luxemburg wanted to train the substitute players. ?

After the game, Wang Li was asked by the media about McClaren. Wang Li was a little surprised. In fact, although he had some good feelings for the English coach, he only said a few words at most. He didn't know that the coach valued him so much, so he replied: "Thank you Mr. McClaren 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 a good choice."

The game was over, and Real Madrid's Asian tour was officially over. After the official press conference, Real Madrid flew back to Madrid.

It is almost August, and they have to prepare for the new season. ?

Originally, the tour was very successful, Real Madrid received 40 million euros, the gold rush was perfect, and it also left a good impression on Asian countries. However, FIFA Secretary General Urs Lindsey publicly criticized Real Madrid and Manchester United. ?

On July 28, at the World Cup preparatory meeting in Germany, Lin Xi publicly stated that the trip of European giants to Asia was a destruction to local teams, which seriously hindered the development of Asian football leagues.

In July, not only Real Madrid, but also Manchester United made an Asian tour due to the introduction of Dong Fangzhuo, a young player from an ancient oriental country. Although their achievements were not as great as those of Real Madrid, their influence should not be underestimated. The money-making tours of the two teams caused dissatisfaction from FIFA.

"Although commercial competitions are good for these giants, what impact will it have on Asian countries?" Lin Xi said, "As far as we know, Asian countries have been having trouble developing their own leagues. They are struggling to find sponsors, but sponsorship easily goes to the giants."

Speaking of this, Lin Xi seemed to be very sympathetic to Asian countries. He continued: "In order to accommodate the visits of the giants, the leagues of various Asian countries have to change their league schedules. The Asian Football Confederation has complained to FIFA that this move 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 all matters have been prepared. As the Secretary General of FIFA, Urs Lindsey still has some influence. ?

In fact, there are different voices within Real Madrid. On the way back, Beckham, Carlos and other players complained that the long journey and jet lag had made them exhausted. Although Real Madrid's money-making journey was very successful, the intensive schedule and constant travel made the players feel physically and mentally exhausted.

However, such complaints are useless. Neither the players nor FIFA have the right to dictate the decisions of the top clubs. Real Madrid and Manchester United are indeed making money. Their first purpose of their Asian tours is money. This is well known. However, fans and business organizations in Asian countries are willing to pay, and there is nothing others can do about it. ?

After all, commercial matches are not the main business of a professional football club. Real Madrid still focuses on official matches. After returning to Madrid, the entire club started running again and began to prepare for the new season. It has continued some transfer-related work.

After returning from Asia, the team has calmed down and everyone in the club is focusing on the new season. ?

The failure of the 2004-2005 season made Real Madrid's top management learn a lesson. They knew that Makelele's departure was a wrong decision for the club, so in this summer, they have been trying to introduce some defensive players to increase the team's rear capabilities.

The defense of Real Madrid is very weak now. Several big-name players have not performed well. The defense that only relies on Roberto Carlos and Casillas is too fragile.

So they focused their attention mainly on the defenders. ?

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

Therefore, Real Madrid's transfer department still sets its sights on defenders from Spanish teams. Defenders from small teams that perform well can all become their targets. ?

Sergio Ramos is a player from Sevilla. ?

In the 2002/2003 season, the growing Ramos only played once for Sevilla B team, but in the following season, he played 25 times and scored two goals. At that time, he was spotted by his mentor Joaquin Caparros, who immediately called him into the first team. On February 1, 2004, Sevilla played away against Deportivo La Coruna and made his La Liga debut. Unfortunately, the team lost 0-1 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 central defender.

Although defenders are not as likely to become famous as forwards, the young Ramos has successfully established his position as a starter in Sevilla through only one season of hard work. He was also selected for the Spanish national team under Aragones. This performance really attracted the attention of European giants.

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

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

Nowadays, it seems that the entertainment industry has entered the era of "male beauty". Therefore, in addition to his solid defense and outstanding assist ability, Ramos has another attraction to Real Madrid, or at least adds a lot of chips to Real Madrid's introduction of him, that is, his handsomeness and popularity?

Ramos' smile was brilliant, just like the brightest sunshine, with half-long straight golden hair flying in the wind. His graceful demeanor could easily make a bunch of female fans scream. Moreover, the handsome boy, who was born as a football player, had trained himself to have strong but not exaggerated muscles. It would be hard to find such a perfect lover even with a lantern. In this respect, Wang Li was no match for him. ?

Moreover, Spanish female fans don't have to feel sorry that Ramos, as a defender, can't take off his clothes to celebrate after scoring a goal like Shevchenko, Totti and other front players to show off his perfect body, because Ramos has already taken many "exposed" photo albums, which made a lot of female fans scream. ?

In Spain, the appeal of Real Madrid and Barcelona is unquestionable, and this season Real Madrid spent 200 million euros to introduce Wang Li, which makes the team's reputation in Spain seem to be somewhat overshadowed by Barcelona. ?

Barcelona will certainly have a hand in the competition for Ramos. For Spanish teams, defense has always been their focus, but they have not done well. The value of a young central defender with strength and potential is immeasurable.

Real Madrid's strategy of poaching players is to use big-name stars as lobbyists, make various promises, and offer more transfer fees. After this series of practices, almost no player is not tempted. And Florentino's personal charm is unstoppable. This cunning businessman has a natural intimacy that makes people feel his sincerity. ?

All these combined, there are very few players who can remain unmoved by Real Madrid's passionate offensive, so in European football, as long as Real Madrid really needs a player, there is almost no player they cannot buy. ?

For example, didn't former Barcelona captain Luis Figo join Real Madrid? Even though he was called a Barcelona traitor, he still joined Real Madrid in the end. ?

However, this season Figo chose Inter Milan. During Real Madrid's Asian tour, he had already contacted Inter Milan's chairman Moratti, but Real Madrid did not get a penny of transfer fee because Figo was a free transfer. ?

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

27 million Euros, Real Madrid did not hesitate! ?

This transfer caused a sensation throughout Spain! ?

Because Real Madrid had never introduced a local star before. Ramos became the first Spanish player signed by Real Madrid since Florentino was elected as the club president in July 2000. ?

After Ramos joined Real Madrid, Minamo Brasil and Ruben also returned to Real Madrid on loan. The return of these two defenders stabilized Real Madrid's defense, and Luxemburgo no longer had to worry too much about Real Madrid's back line.

After that, to be on the safe side, Real Madrid signed Diogo from River Plate for free to supplement the full-back bench depth and add more bricks and tiles to Real Madrid's defense in the new season. ?

However, although Real Madrid attaches great importance to the back line, the focus of recruiting players is still on the front line. Every year, they invest a lot in the front line. Although Wang Li joined this year, the strength of Real Madrid's forward line has been greatly improved, but because Wang Li will be suspended for half a year, Luxemburg still expressed dissatisfaction with this front line composed of all big-name stars. ?

So Robinho and Baptista, two emerging striker stars, came into the sight of Real Madrid's transfer department. ?

Spanish players have always liked to introduce players from Brazil and Argentina, because the players from these two countries can easily integrate into the style of the Spanish league, especially the front court players from these two countries, whose delicate skills are very suitable for the offensive Spanish league.

Robinho started his career at Santos Football Club. He and his teammate Diego were once known as the most promising twin stars in Brazil.

Robinho's skills are extremely delicate, and his skilled "bicycle dribbling" is one of his signature moves, but his thin body limits his potential. Fortunately, he is only 21 years old, and as his body continues to mature, there is still huge room for improvement. ?

In Brazil, Robinho is known as the "new Pele" and "a world-class dribbling master". His personal dribbling skills are very good, which is talked about by all Santos fans.

Real Madrid offered 22 million euros for the 21-year-old striker, which tempted Santos, but they still wanted to take a bite out of the Galacticos. As a result, Real Madrid, eager to supplement the striker, offered an additional 2.5 million euros.

With 24.5 million euros, Robinho officially put on the Real Madrid jersey in the new season. ?

Baptista, like Ramos, is a Sevilla player, but the transfer was not smooth, mainly because Baptista was too good.

Before this season, Baptista could be said to be the person Real Madrid hated the most, because every time they played against Sevilla, Real Madrid would suffer a huge blow because of Baptista's outstanding performance. ?

According to statistics from Royal Sports, if the calculation is based on the whole year instead of the season, neither Ronaldo nor Eto'o can match Baptista.

Baptista scored 24 goals in the 2004 La Liga, making him the undisputed top scorer of the year. Eto'o scored 22 goals, ranking second; Ronaldo only scored 18 goals.

Because of this, Baptista became a hot figure in the transfer market as soon as the last season ended. Arsenal of the Premier League and their sworn enemy Tottenham Hotspur both wanted to buy him at a high price, and his contract with Sevilla was not due until 2008. However, Sevilla knew that a Brazilian super striker like Baptista would definitely belong to a super club like Real Madrid or Barcelona in the future, so they kept threatening to transfer to the two Premier League clubs, hoping to increase Baptista's value and get more benefits for the club. ?

At the last moment of the transfer, Real Madrid could only use money to attack, and within 24 hours, the price was quoted to be 24 million euros, and then Baptista became a member of the Galacticos. ?

After receiving the news, Real Madrid captain Raul joked: "He was a threat to Real Madrid, but now he has become a threat to us."

When Baptista came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid's crowded front line had one more strong player, and the competition for the starting position became more brutal. ?

Until this time, Real Madrid's new season recruitment work has come to an end. ?

However, these few simple transfers have allowed fans across Europe to see the dominance of Real Madrid.

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

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

After the trip to East Asia, Real Madrid once again amazed all the fans. It seemed to announce to the world: As long as I want it, there is nothing I can't buy! ?

The new season's Galacticos have been fully assembled, and all Madrid fans are looking forward to seeing this battleship, which has many new parts, unleash its might! ?
