Chapter 162 Transfer, part of football
Piao Tianwen �
Before the deadline for winter transfers in 2009 on February 3rd, the 2009 year has arrived, basically all clubs have completed their respective layouts during the winter break. Although there are still some sporadic transfers at the end, it will no longer affect the summary of winter transfers in 2009.[]
Looking at the entire winter break, although Manchester City waving checks and burned money, it did not lead to any sky-high transfers in the end. Instead, Hunterlah joined Real Madrid for 27 million euros, becoming the "market" of transfers this winter, while other leagues were all minor repairs. Overall, it can be summarized with the six words "thunder loudly and raindrops".
Specifically for the four leagues, the first is the Premier League.
Compared with previous years, the Premier League giants this winter have little trouble. Manchester City, supported by Arab consortiums, has become the protagonist of this year's transfer market. 18 million euros were brought back from Hamburg, Bellamy 13 million euros were introduced, and Bridge and Jiwen were also the arrival of Manchester City, which has become a real "money-burning player" in the transfer market this winter. However, the rumored Kaka, who is about to transfer at a sky-high price, failed to become a reality in the end, which may also become a permanent regret for Manchester City people.
The mid- and lower-level Premier League teams such as Tottenham and West Ham also frequently made big moves this winter. Tottenham repurchased Difoe and Keane Jr., and also snatched Palacios from Manchester United. Chelsea introduced Cudicini in the past, which was impressive. West Ham United, which was in the same group, spent nearly 10 million euros to get Serie A star Ensereco, Portsmouth and Aston Villa also introduced Pennant and Husky, respectively. Even the newly promoted Stoke City spent 3.5 million pounds to introduce former England international Beatty, which performed well.
On the other hand, other traditional Premier League teams have lived a life of careful calculations. Manchester United determined the transfer of Tosic and Rajadic, which can only be considered as investment in the future. Arsenal spent all his time on the joining of Russian Tsar Al Shavin in the winter. Finally, he experienced twists and turns and always completed the deal. Chelsea loaned Quaresma from Inter Milan at the last moment, which gave fans an unexpected surprise, while Liverpool did not make any noise. The four traditional giants were particularly quiet this winter.
The performance of the Premier League is reduced to one sentence: "Manchester City's wealthy family is cold when they burn money"!
Turning his attention to the Apennines, the Serie A teams did not make much move this winter. The only wine that needs to be explained is the performance of the two Milan champions. AC Milan not only spent 10 million euros to win Silva, the Winter Serie A bid, but also introduced Martyoni and took back Legati. The most surprising thing to the fans was that they loaned the "heartthrob" Beckham from the United States for free. In addition, they also successfully defeated Manchester City's sky-high acquisition and left Kaka, which is the biggest winner this winter. Inter Milan, in the same city, is constantly cleaning up players, not only sending away Dakot and Malufe, but also loaned the Serie A bid to Quaresma last summer, becoming a laughing stock.
Another wealthy old woman did not buy or sell her people this winter. Rome City was quite disturbing. They loaned two defenders Mota and Diamutne, and loaned Okaca and other new stars. Other mid- and lower-level teams in Serie A were also generally doing minor repairs. The important focus was that Sampdoria introduced Fiorentine strikers Pazini and Bologna used 8 million euros to introduce Osvaldo.
"Milan's two heroes" is the melody of Serie A this winter.
The performance of the Iberian Peninsula this winter is as deserted as the weather. The leader Barcelona is not moving at all. Only Real Madrid spent a huge amount of money to introduce Hunterlaal and Diyala. Hunterla, who is worth 27 million euros, has also become the transfer bidder this winter. In addition, Real Madrid also loaned Forber from West Ham United before the transfer window closed.
The movements of other La Liga teams are roughly the same as in other leagues, and they check for omissions. Only Real Betis spent 9 million euros to introduce Zaragoza striker Oliveira to a lot of attention. In addition, Valencia's introduction of former Real Madrid goalkeeper Cesar from Tottenham also attracted a lot of attention, but apart from that, other teams have nothing to attract.
It can be said that Real Madrid is "a big song and a little bit, and a solo singer in the family".
The final focus on the home league is closely related to Qin Tian. Former Bundesliga stars such as Hildebran, Boateng, Andreason and Babic have returned home one after another. In addition, Bayern's Podolski also wandered outside for two and a half years and decided to return to Cologne this summer, which set off a strong sense of home return in the winter transfer window of the Bundesliga.
Specifically for each team, like in previous years, it is not surprising to the media and commentators, and there is no exciting big deal. The recruitment and repair of each team is generally mainly about enriching the depth of the bench or filling personnel gaps. It is discussed from the final data statistics and transfer analysis, showing several major characteristics.
First of all, the forward line is the first choice for each team. The only signing for giant Bayern completed during the winter break was to loan US scorer Donovan from Los Angeles Galaxy. In addition, Bayern confirmed a transfer this summer in advance, introducing forward Olic from Hamburg. The same is true for the rural dark horse Hoffenheim. Due to Ibissevic's accidental injury, Hoffenheim has successively introduced two forwards, Helderlin and Sanogo, to fill the gap in the Bosnians. Stuttgart introduced Gaborhart from Munich 1860, and his 3.2 million euro worth is only the only one with Tymoshchuk.
Secondly, the old players have returned one after another. Take a look at the familiar faces this winter break, which makes people miss the golden years. The most gratifying one is the former German goalkeeper Hildebrand joined Hoffenheim. His arrival further improved the strength of this Bundesliga dark horse team, showing the team's unsuppressible ambition. Dortmund introduced former Berlin Hertha star Boateng from Tottenham, the former German youth international
Hope to regain its new life in the local area. Hannover also introduced former Bremen star Andreason who played for Fulham, and the Danish defender was also excited to play in the Bundesliga again. Hertha Berlin brought Babic back from the La Liga, and the frustrated man also looked forward to returning to the Bundesliga for a second spring. Of course, don't forget Bayern striker Donovan, who was a member of Leverkusen a few years ago, and now he can also be regarded as a return to the Bundesliga.
The third feature is that many Bundesliga teams have made great profits through transfers this winter. The most important representative is Hamburg, who sold De Jong to Manchester City for 19.5 million, which is more than ten times the 1.5 million euros they spent to introduce De Jong. In addition, Neves was sold by Hamburg to Saudi Alshal, which also made the club earn 7 million euros. These two transactions alone made Hamburg earn 26.5 million euros, and became the most profitable team this winter. In addition, Stuttgart earned 4 million euros to the Mexican America team by selling veteran Pardo, which also allowed Stuttgart to bring in Gaborhart.
The fourth feature is a popular trend in the Bundesliga this winter - loan style. It is understandable that mid- and lower-stream teams go to loan due to financial problems, and now the wealthy families are also in love with loan. The Bundesliga, which has always been known for its frugality, has fully demonstrated their characteristics. Let’s take a look, Bayern’s Donovan, Bremen’s Bremen’s Bresce, Hoffenheim’s Sanogo, Hamburg’s Neden and others all transfer on loan.
In addition to loaning players from other teams, he also loaned out young stars in his team and became a training player for the giants, and on the other hand, the loan trend continued to expand. Bayern loaned the team's rookies Cross and Niedelmere to Leverkusen and Stuttgart respectively.
The last feature is a bit sad. Only the newcomers laugh, but whoever hears the old people cry. When someone comes, then there are naturally some people who want to leave. In this winter's Bundesliga transfer market, there are also many veterans who will bid farewell to this stage. The most reluctant one is the sad retirement of Bayern right-back Sanior. This former top star in the world football world also lowered his noble head in the face of injury. This is a heartbreaking thing.
In addition, Robert Kovac, a veteran who has been in the Bundesliga for many years, also bid farewell to Dortmund and returned to his hometown of Dynamo Zagreb in Croatia, which is a pity. In the middle of Hannover, Justi switched to St. Petersburg Zenit, and the closest one to Qin Tian was Ernst. The former German international will join Besiktas. When he first heard this rumor, Qin Tian contacted Ernst at the first time. When he listened to the silence on the opposite side of the microphone for a long time, Qin Tian also knew that Ernst's departure should be a foregone conclusion. Although as a professional player, leaving and coming are the reality that should be accepted quickly, Qin Tian still felt uncomfortable.
"The old players returned, and there was still a hint of unspeakable sadness in their warmth." This is professional football.
In any case, after returning to Schalke, it was completely necessary to hold a farewell banquet for Ernst. The better the teammates, the group rushed to the Chinese restaurant. Now, except for going to the bar, the Chinese restaurant has become the place where the team gathered the most. However, Qin Tian did not set off with everyone as soon as possible because he came back to report the latest, so he could only finish the physical examination before leaving.
By the time Qin Tian arrived at the hotel, his teammates who had squeezed two tables had already started eating. Although the second half of the season has not started yet, they cannot eat or drink. Otherwise, it would be a "big thing" to be photographed by the media. Judging from the teammates' appearance, fortunately, at least they have not met the standard of "indulgent".
"Qin, come here quickly, I'll wait for you." Ozil held a beer glass in one song, holding an unknown leg of the chicken legs or duck legs in the other hand, and shouted loudly.
"It seems that I'm drunk too much," Qin Tian sighed secretly. When he was sitting in the seat, Qin Tian discovered another "serious" problem, because Qin Tian usually arranged dishes for everyone, but this time he didn't order them, so these bastards were already having a random meal.
I ordered 6 servings of soup, 6 servings of cold dishes, 6 servings of stir-frying, steaming dishes, and dim sum. I love this guy ordered 6 servings of each dish. Why is it 6? Because Qin Tian once said that zg6 is a lucky number, okay, Qin Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't say 8 or 9.
"Come on, everyone toast to Ernst." The yellow, white, red, and unknown liquids splashed everywhere. A good farewell banquet turned into Schalke 04's championship celebration banquet. Fortunately, there were still a few days left in the second half of the game, otherwise Sloka would have been educated to death.
