Chapter 561
As the time enters August, the footsteps of the new season are getting closer.
Since the Premier League started the first round of the new season on August [-]th, after entering August, the summer transfer operations of the Premier League teams have basically come to an end, and the signings of each team have gradually become clear.
Manchester United has undoubtedly become the protagonist of this summer's European transfer market.
After stopping in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, Ferguson's team narrowly suppressed Liverpool until the final round of the league and won the league championship with an extremely narrow advantage. This made the Red Devils Manchester United deeply feel the crisis.
The deep-pocketed Manchester United waved their checkbooks this summer.
Ferguson introduced Brazilian midfielder Anderson, who has the title of Ronaldinho II from Porto, and Portuguese winger Nani, known as Ronaldinho II, from Sporting Lisbon. The transfer fees of these two players are expected to be around 500 million euros.
For these two transfer fees, Manchester United spent 5000 million euros.
In addition, Manchester United introduced the English midfielder Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich at a high price of 500 million euros. This is an obvious signal for Ferguson to strengthen the team's midfield strength.
After all, Scholes and Giggs are old.
With the continuous introduction of strong support, Manchester United also had to sell several players. Heinze transferred to Real Madrid at a price of 1000 to [-] million euros. The Argentine left-back was originally going to join Liverpool. Benitez and Heinze had basically reached an agreement, but Ferguson strongly opposed the transfer.
After Solskjaer retired, players such as Alan Smith, Rossi and Richardson also left the team one after another.
As for the recent transfer progress, on the first day of August, Manchester United announced the loan of Argentine striker Carlos Tevez from West Ham United, and paid him a loan fee of up to 2000 million euros for two years.
Like Mascherano, Tevez's ownership is quite complicated. West Ham United and Corinthians, as well as an MSI brokerage company held by Joorabchian behind him, all own the player's ownership at the same time, which makes it difficult for Manchester United to start.
In contrast, Liverpool undoubtedly made a very shrewd deal on Mascherano, not only half a year earlier, but also decided to sign Mascherano early, which made Liverpool's investment in Argentina's midfielder become quite cost-effective.
After successively introducing players such as Tevez, Nani, Anderson and Hargreaves, Manchester United's overall strength has become quite outstanding. Not only is the first team lineup strong, but even the bench is full of talents. The overall strength is obviously better than last season.
Therefore, before the start of the season, Manchester United is already the number one favorite to win the new season.
……
Compared with Manchester United, which has a lot of money and spends money like water, and spent [-] million, Chelsea's investment this summer has begun to shrink sharply.
Last season, the Blues' wing has always been a big problem, so this season Chelsea also spent 2000 million euros from Lyon to introduce French left winger Malouda, and at the same time spent 600 million euros from Barcelona to introduce right back Belletti.
Mourinho obviously hopes to improve the offense and defense of the wing in the new season through the two wing players in front and back.
At the same time, Chelsea also introduced Brazilian central defender Alex from Eindhoven, midfielder Sidwell from Reading, and striker Pizarro from Bayern Munich. These players are all free transfers.
After spending 600 million euros, Chelsea's investment has obviously shrunk a lot compared to before, but more importantly, the Blues sold Robben to Real Madrid, earning 600 million euros, plus the sale of two players, Lars Diarra and Glenn Johnson, to recover 1000 million euros.
On the whole, instead of investing in the Blues this summer, they have made money in the transfer market.
This once again confirms the speculation of the outside world, that is, the US subprime mortgage crisis has greatly reduced Abramovich's wealth.
Everyone guessed that from now on, the Blue Army would probably have to get used to living on a budget.
……
Arsenal also made money in the transfer market this year.
Las Diarra, Da Silva, Sagna, Fabianski and Nordvert, these five players spent a total of about 500 million euros in transfer fees for the Gunners, but sold Henry to earn 400 million euros.
In addition, Reyes sold 1000 to 1000 million euros, and three players including Ljungberg, Ariadiere and Muamba also earned [-] million euros. They are full of money. The Gunners also made a lot of money in the transfer market this summer.
And everyone began to think that after selling Vieira and Henry one after another, the Gunners had obviously lost their aggressiveness.
Regardless of whether it is limited by the financial situation or Wenger's own adjustments, in a short period of time, Arsenal will not be able to find a player who can replace Henry. This team is destined to accompany him in the new season.
……
Compared with the other three teams, Liverpool's investment is not as good as that of Manchester United, but it is not considered stingy.
Mascherano cost the club 400 million euros, Benayoun and Lucas Leiva also cost the club 2000 million euros, plus San Jose, Liverpool invested 500 million euros in the transfer market.
Players such as Luis Garcia, Cisse and Pangele also recovered 2000 million euros for Liverpool.
Therefore, in terms of total investment in the Premier League, Liverpool ranks second to Manchester United.
Although they have not invested much in the transfer market, Liverpool have successively renewed the contracts of many important players in the team this summer.
Just after the end of the season, the club announced the success of the contract renewals with Gerrard and Carragher, and then the team continued to renew the contracts of outstanding players in the team such as Harvey Alonso, Aurelio, Riise, and Finnan.
On the last day of July, Liverpool officially announced that they had successfully renewed their contract with Yang Yang.
Although the Red Army did not announce Yang Yang’s contract renewal salary, the British media immediately broke the news that what Yang Yang signed was the highest salary record in the history of the Premier League, a weekly salary of up to 15 pounds, which further created a new Premier League record.
If the club's financial expenditure is likened to a balance, then the salary and transfer fee will always be at the two ends of the balance, one side is high, and the other side must be kept as low as possible.
Liverpool won the Champions League, the Premier League also won the runner-up, and their financial revenue has skyrocketed. However, after this round of contract renewals, the team's salary burden has also increased. Therefore, it is only natural to properly control the transfer fee.
After all, in terms of financial revenue, Liverpool can't keep up with Manchester United.
……
However, there is a saying that is true, the league still has to consider the overall strength after all.
With the accumulation of Manchester United in the past few seasons, coupled with the [-] million invested this summer, Ferguson's team has been favored by all bookmakers. Everyone believes that the Red Devils are still the favorites to win the Premier League this season.
Manchester United's winning odds are as high as [-], which proves how optimistic everyone is about Manchester United.
Chelsea confirmed the saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Blues have sent Robben away and there are no major signings in the transfer market, their overall strength is still there. Mourinho even threatened to make a comeback this season and win the Premier League again.
Therefore, all bookmakers, including William Hill, regard Chelsea as the second favorite to win the championship, with odds of [-], only slightly behind Manchester United.
Liverpool's odds of winning the title are six, ranking third in the Premier League, while Arsenal's odds of winning the title are eleven.
This shows how everyone is not optimistic about the Gunners.
As for other teams, it is even higher. Wigan Athletic, Fulham, Derby County and Birmingham are as high as [-], and they are considered to be relegation favorites.
……
Since Yang Yang won all the honors in the Premier League last season and achieved the unprecedented Grand Slam in the Premier League, everyone is still very optimistic about Yang Yang's performance in the new season.
Among the odds offered by major gaming companies for the best player in the Premier League, Yang Yang is [-] to [-], a veritable favorite. Everyone believes that after Henry leaves Barcelona, Yang Yang will become the well-deserved number one player in the Premier League this season.
After Yang Yang, Rooney and Ronaldinho, who played for Manchester United, both lost [-] to [-].
These two Manchester United players were placed high hopes by media reporters. They all believed that Rooney and Ronaldinho were the most promising players to challenge Yang Yang, because Manchester United itself was strong enough.
However, many media believe that Rooney does not have such strength, except for his status as a local player.
Chelsea's Didier Drogba is ranked fourth, he lost [-] to [-], because he was the second highest scorer in the Premier League last season, and this is also Drogba's season with the most goals ever.
Players such as Gerrard, Fabregas, Terry and Lampard tied for fifth.
Although the odds offered by the gaming company do not mean anything, it just proves that in the eyes of all fans around the world, especially in the eyes of fans in the UK, Yang Yang has successfully proved his strength after his outstanding performance last season. He has become a well-deserved top star in the Premier League, even the number one star.
And everyone is full of confidence in his performance in the new season.
However, some media said that Yang Yang’s strength is beyond doubt, but he missed the preparation period for the new season because he was called up by the national team and participated in the Asian Cup.
In this regard, Liverpool coach Benitez said that he is full of confidence in Yang Yang.
"In fact, we have adopted a brand-new physical reserve training program in the new season, because in the past we emphasized more on physical fitness, which caused us to lose too many points in the first half of the league, especially in the opening stage."
"We have changed our strategy this season. We want to grab points from the first round of the league, so this requires each of us to be in the state when the league starts."
"This is a season for the team to hit the Premier League title, and the players and I are full of confidence in it."
"Yang Yang called me, and he told me that he is full of hunger for the new season, and his state has adjusted."
As soon as Benitez announced the new season, Yang Yang quietly arrived at London Heathrow Airport.
He returned to the team early!
