424: The sluggish winter transfer market in European football
After the German Cup match against Dortmund, Munich 1860 had a holiday.
Winter break is here.
Except for the players who have national team duties, everyone else has started their vacation.
Tong Yi reminded the players of Munich 1860 not to get injured during this holiday, let alone be overweight, otherwise they will look good.
After the players had a holiday, Tong Yi flew directly to Italy to spend a wonderful Christmas with his girlfriend Martina. Then, Tong Yi will fly back to China with Martina to be with Tong Yi's parents.
Because this year’s Chinese New Year is on January 23, and Munich 1860’s first game in the second half of the season is on January 21, so Tong Yi couldn’t spend the Spring Festival with his parents, brothers and sisters, so he went back early to accompany them. .
Moreover, I agree that I won’t even be able to stay until the Spring Festival is approaching.
Munich 1860 gathers for the second half of the season on January 13, so around the 11th, Tong Yi has to fly back to Germany.
The main reason for having such a long vacation this time is that Munich did not have any signing tasks during the winter transfer period of 1860, so Tong Yi was so free.
After two transfer periods with crazy signings in 2009 and 2010, the transfer period has now cooled down, and there are also some problems in the world economy, which are also very obvious in the football transfer market, especially this winter. Transfer, there are very few transfer rumors on the market.
The top European giants also disappeared and stood still.
Even the tycoons in the Middle East, led by Manchester City, have stopped and have not made any big moves in transfers this winter. The Bundesliga has become even quieter with this change. There are almost no large-scale signings, and there are even few transfer rumors.
In the past, news about Bayern Munich's desire to introduce De Bruyne, Senderos and Costa would have been flying all over the sky at this time, and news about Bundesliga teams crazy about seducing Tong Yi would have been flying all over the sky.
but none!
No news at all!
Bayern Munich is really quiet this winter, which is rare.
There is news about Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, but the news is that they are selling players or ending player contracts early, and they have no plans to sign players at all. In the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are also rumored to have few signings.
The biggest transfer rumor between Manchester United and Arsenal in the winter is that the retired Scholes is preparing to come back as the savior of Manchester United, while Arsenal hopes to loan Henry back to play in the American Major League so that Henry can return to the savior.
And Manchester City, which was crazy in the past few seasons, has been very quiet this winter, with no intention of signing any players at all.
This winter, all the major wealthy families are tightening their belts.
This is not to mention other leagues.
That's why Tong Yi is so relaxed this winter.
At this time, news came out from Dortmund that they had introduced Reus from Monchengladbach for 17.5 million euros.
When seeing this transaction, Tong Yi held a moment of silence for Monchengladbach.
Originally, Monchengladbach's results this season were very good. After 17 league rounds, they were ranked 4th in the Bundesliga with 33 points, only one point behind the top three teams with 34 points. .
By retaining the absolute core of Royce, Monchengladbach will have a chance to compete for the Bundesliga championship in the second half of the season. However, at this time, they actually sold the absolute core. This Monchengladbach is really asking for death.
Look, Monchengladbach will definitely regret it this season.
This is the biggest transfer in the Bundesliga this winter. Royce is definitely the Bundesliga transfer king this winter, and may even challenge the title of world football's winter king.
After that, Tong Yi stopped paying attention to football matters. He stayed with Martina wholeheartedly. After he and Martina spent nearly a week in Italy enjoying a good life without shame, they flew back to China.
Naturally, Tong Yi went back secretly.
Otherwise, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
However, Tong Yi's itinerary was discovered by interested people. Tong Yi originally wanted to spend time with his parents, brothers and sisters when he returned to his hometown, but many heads of domestic companies came to visit, hoping to sign Tong Yi as their image spokesperson.
Especially companies such as Li Ning and Xtep, and even Mengniu, Yili, Xiaomi, Suning, etc. have all flocked to Tongyi, and Tongyi has become a hot commodity.
Moreover, some heads of football clubs in China have also found Tong Yi, hoping to reach some cooperation with Tong Yi.
In particular, the new local tycoon team of China Football, Guangdong Hengtai Club, their chairman Xu Jianying personally came to Xingyou Town, a small rural place in Xichuan, which alarmed the Xingyou Town government departments, county leaders, and municipal leaders.
These leaders have never seen so many big guys from wealthy groups. They are coming to their door one after another, hoping to get some investment from these big guys to drive the economy here, because their county is really is too poor.
Xingyou Town is a well-known poverty-stricken town.
With such a good opportunity, how could they not take action?
So many big shots gathered in Xingyou Town and Tong Yi's hometown, which made Tong Yi's family very uncomfortable. I wanted to be light
I am relaxing and spending time with my parents, so how could I know that I would be so busy?
Of course, Tong Yi also has the ideal of building his hometown.
In some matters, Tong Yi is happy to help some gangs. He even donated money to help build roads in Xingyou Town the last time he returned to his hometown. In the past, Xingyou Town was too poor because the transportation was very poor. Road construction was naturally the top priority of Xingyou Town.
However, Tong Yi himself also knew very well that there were too many tricks in this road construction.
Because since Tong Yi became a child, a group of people in Xingyou Town have been building roads. The provincial road from their town to the county has been repaired and broken down every year. Once repaired, it cannot be repaired for a long time. From the time when the director was in elementary school to after he finished college, the road had not been repaired and was still in a very dilapidated state.
Even knowing this, Tong Yi spent money to help Xingyou Town build roads without hesitation.
This time, all the money for road construction was paid for by Tong Yi.
Naturally, Tong Yi saw it when he came back this time. It had indeed been repaired, but several sections were broken and needed to be repaired again.
With such traffic conditions, how many bosses would invest here?
A few days ago, their town attracted some investment, which resulted in the establishment of an agricultural product company and the acquisition of a lot of land specifically for the production of off-season vegetables in greenhouses. But after not persisting for two years, the company collapsed and moved away. Why? It’s not because of transportation problems. .??.
Therefore, Xingyou Town and even Lelai County will not attract any investment.
Unless the traffic conditions here can be improved.
But obviously, this is a huge project, and Tong Yi has no choice.
Tong Yi was also overwhelmed with ambition, so Tong Yi really didn't stay in his hometown for long this time, and then left early and flew back to Germany.
Not only are they unable to spend time with their parents by forcing them to stay in their hometown, but it will also affect their parents' normal life. Therefore, Tong Yi left early.
Tong Yi's parents can also understand.
After returning to Germany, Tong Yi and Martina went to Greece for a while before returning to Germany again. After returning to Germany, Tong Yi and Martina spent two wonderful days in the hotel without shame. They almost didn't go out during these two days.
Then, Tong Yi sent Martina back to Italy.
Martina is off to work on her career again.
This is a strong woman!
After seeing Martina off, Tong Yi adjusted for two days and then went to the club because the Munich 1860 team was about to assemble.
The coaching staff of Munich 1860 are also back and in place. They are about to get busy and prepare for the upcoming second half of the season.
Seriously, the second half of the season for Munich 18
It is very important for 60 years old, super important.
At present, Munich 1860's situation in the Bundesliga is not very ideal. They are currently ranked sixth in the Bundesliga with 27 points. They are 7 points behind Dortmund at the top of the league. This gap is not huge. But there are five teams in front of them. If they want to surpass them, Munich 1860 must be very strong in the second half of the season and not make any mistakes.
Otherwise, Munich 1860 will be busy this season in vain.
Moreover, Tong Yi also knows very well that if he cannot lead the team to win the Bundesliga championship this season, he will not be able to continue to stay at Munich 1860.
He's going to be fired.
Therefore, the tasks in the second half of the season are very heavy and there cannot be any mistakes.
Tong Yi communicated with the members of the coaching staff and hoped that everyone could unite and prepare carefully to achieve very good results in the second half of the season.
When the Munich 1860 coaching staff began to be busy, Tong Yi's attention was directed to the transfer market.
As before, the Bundesliga's winter transfers rarely see big-money transfers, and Reus should be the sure winner of the Bundesliga's winter transfers. Because after him, there are almost no million-level transfers. Not only the Bundesliga, but even the entire European football world does not have tens of millions of transfers.
This winter transfer is really a small year for transfers.
Bayern Munich has not made any moves and has no intention of recruiting at all. The other teams are similar and have not made any big moves. The same is true for Dortmund. Apart from Royce's trade, Dortmund has not made any moves.
Looking abroad, the La Liga duo have not made any moves, and Barcelona not only does not sign players, but is also busy cleaning up, sending away many players, and almost all of them terminated their contracts and let them leave freely.
The Italian side seems to be very busy, but in fact it is all about small matters, and there are almost no transfers worth tens of millions.
The Premier League is also very calm.
It seems that European football is greatly affected by the world economy.
But that's fine, since there are fewer variables, then Munich 1860 will have a chance in the second half of the season.
Then, Tong Yi immediately turned around and asked, "Leo, how is the situation with Philip? Is he recovered now?"
Yes, Tong Yi is very concerned about Senderos' situation.
Whether Senderos is healthy or not can affect Munich 1860's results in the second half of the season.
The rest of the coaching staff looked over and stared at Wagner when they heard this. They were also very concerned about this matter.
Senderos is really important to Munich 1860, and everyone on the coaching staff is concerned about him.
