What ball king, call me ball god

Chapter 242 Before the War

The 2019-2020 season of the Premier League officially started on August 8.

The transfer window closed at 8:8 on August 17th.

This summer window, Manchester United has gained a lot.

Manchester United also ranked No.5.2 among European football clubs in this summer window with a total investment of 1 million euros in transfer fees.

However, Manchester United has 2.5 million euros in sales alone, so the net investment is only 2.7 million euros.

And the three people who left Sanchez, Pogba and Lukaku are all high-paid players.

Although there is also a super-high-paid player among the people who come.

But overall, Manchester United's summer window is perfect.

And in this summer window, the 20 Premier League teams have invested a total of 17 billion euros in signings this summer, a figure that has also set a new record.The record for the most investment in a single transfer window before the Premier League was the summer window of 2017, when the Premier League teams spent a total of 15 billion euros on signings.The most invested in this summer window is Manchester United, and the second place may surprise many people is Arsenal. They spent 1.8 million euros in this summer window.

Manchester City did not have many signings in this summer window, only two, one is the midfielder Rodri, who spent 7000 million euros from Atletico Madrid, and the other is Cancelo, who spent 6500 million euros from Juventus.

However, Cancelo's deal is suspected of being accounted for by Manchester City and Juventus, because Manchester City's Danilo was sold to Danilo for a transfer fee of 3700 million euros.

According to Lineker's words: "Come on, Juventus' Cancelo is worth up to 4000 million euros, and Manchester City's Danilo is only worth 1500 million euros. Why do you sell me and I sell you?"

However, in the face of doubts from the outside world, neither Juventus nor Manchester City expressed more.

Manchester City also spent over 5300 million in this summer window, but the seller also sold 8200 million, so the net expenditure was only [-] million euros.

For Liverpool, this summer window is very small. It spent 190 million to sign Van den Berg, spent 210 million euros to introduce Elliott from Fulham, and signed Adrian from West Ham United.

No more than €500 million was spent on three transactions.

After seeing that other Premier League teams spent huge amounts of money, Liverpool spent less than 500 million euros. This also made Liverpool fans very dissatisfied, and there were more and more criticisms against Fenway Group.

Compared with Liverpool's 3 signings costing 500 million, Chelsea only signed 1 player, but this player spent 5000 million euros to introduce Kovacic from Real Madrid.However, this deal cannot be regarded as this year's deal, because Kovacic was rented in 2018 and officially bought out in 19, and the cost of the buyout is the money.

The main reason is that Chelsea have a transfer ban this summer window and cannot register new players.

But Chelsea have sold Morata and David Luiz in this summer window, and Hazard's deal has been completed early.

Although Chelsea cannot buy people in this transfer window, the loan buyout agreement takes effect in this summer window, so Chelsea seems to have spent 5000 million euros in this summer window.

This also made Liverpool fans even more dissatisfied.

"The teams under the transfer ban spent 5000 million this summer, 10 times as much as us!"

Tottenham Hotspur spent 6000 million to sign Ndombele from Lyon, spent 1100 million euros to sign Clarke from Leeds United, rented and then bought Lo Celso from Real Betis, his choice The buyout fee is 3200 million euros.Signed Sessegnon from Fulham for 2700 million euros.

In short, this summer window, Tottenham spent more than 1 million euros.Of course, they also sold. They sold Trippier to Atletico Madrid for 2200 million euros. This is really special, because English players rarely go abroad to play football. Jansen was sold for 630 million euros.The rest are some players who left the team freely.

Arsenal signed Pepe from Lille for 8000 million euros, Ceballos on loan from Real Madrid, Saliba from Saint-Etienne for 3000 million euros, and David from Chelsea for 1100 million euros. louis. Signed Tierney from Celtic for 2700 million euros. Signed Martinelli from Iduano for 900 million euros.

This summer window, Arsenal spent a lot of money, second only to Manchester United in the Premier League, but their transfer deal was not appreciated by the fans. The main reason was that the eye-catching 8000 million Pepe was completed at Arsenal. After this transaction, the British local media quickly hit the headline "Pepe? Who?"

Of course, this summer window, Arsenal also sold someone, selling Iwobi to Everton for 3000 million euros, and Ospina to Naples for 350 million euros.

This is the transfer situation of the Premier League BIG6. In fact, from the perspective of the transfer situation, Manchester United's signings are definitely the most important.

Because Manchester United just bought 3 main players and a substitute player from the Champions League champions, not to mention signing a talented midfielder, a main winger from Inter Milan, and a main midfielder from Juventus .In short, this summer window, many media scored Manchester United's summer transfer window with a high score of more than 95 points.

The madness of Manchester United is also the madness of the Premier League, and the madness of the Premier League is unparalleled.The Premier League spent a total of 17 billion euros in this transfer window, ranking No.1 among all European leagues.

La Liga and Serie A followed closely behind with investment of 13.2 billion euros and 11.8 billion euros respectively. The Bundesliga and Ligue 7.42 invested 6.7 million euros and 2.34 million euros respectively. The five major leagues occupy the top five positions.The sixth-ranked Russian Super League has a volume of only [-] million euros, far behind by the first echelon.

From the perspective of net investment, the Premier League has left in a hurry. Against the background of Chelsea, which is restricted by the transfer ban and "crazy money", the British powers still burned 7.42 million euros. The net investment of La Liga and Serie A is about 3 million euros, and the net investment of Bundesliga is 1.67 million euros, maintaining a relatively balanced income and expenditure level. It is still one of the main "poaching places" for the five major leagues.

The emergence of such a pattern is undoubtedly related to the economic strength of the league. According to a report by Deloitte in May this year, in the 2019-2019 season, the five major European leagues generated a record 156 billion euros in revenue, exceeding the total revenue of the European football market of 284 billion euros. More than half, with an annual growth rate of 6%.The European football market is currently worth about 284 billion euros, and under ffp's rules, "the financial situation is the best it has ever been."

Subdivided into each league, the Premier League’s revenue is 54.4 billion euros, with an average team revenue of 2.72 million. 43000 million, La Liga revenue is 31.68 billion euros, the team average is 1.76 million, Serie A revenue is 30.73 billion euros, the team average is 1.54 million, Ligue 22.17 is relatively weak, the revenue is 1.11 billion euros, the team average is 16.92 million.The overall revenue of the Premier League is roughly equivalent to the sum of the second and fourth Bundesliga and Serie A. This is the capital invested in their transfer market.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure. The Premier League is undoubtedly the most commercially successful league at present. Even small and medium-sized clubs can earn more than 50 million yuan in revenue. This is also the case for newly promoted or mid-lower clubs such as Aston Villa, Wolves and Brighton. The reason why the team can rank in the forefront in terms of net investment.The reason why the Bundesliga, which has the second overall income, is not as good as La Liga and Serie A is that the Bundesliga pursues the "1+[-] policy". Healthy operations are the top priority. Except for top teams like Bayern Dortmund, it is difficult to have explosive transfers. exist.

As for the part of a single signing.

In an interview not long ago, Ronaldo said: "Now, the transfer price is a bit unrealistic. Take Felix as an example. Now any player, even if he has not proved himself, is worth 1 million euros. This is too much. Crazy. Defenders and goalkeepers can sell astronomical amounts now."

Yes, transfer market inflation is already an indisputable fact. In 2016, Pogba brought the transfer into the era of 2017 million yuan. In 7000, Neymar accelerated this process.This summer, both the Madrid duo and Barcelona have signings at the level of [-] million euros, and Rodri, who paid [-] million euros, has just squeezed into the top ten.Cristiano Ronaldo, who created the world record transfer fee ten years ago, officially fell out of the top ten.

Not to mention that this summer window also created a historical record for transfer fees-Lin Kedi.

2.3 million euros for Lin Kedi, this price is enough for a long time without anyone coming.

At the same time, sky-high transfers are moving towards a younger age trend.This summer's bid king Lin Kedi is only 18 years old, Pepe, who made Arsenal a rare luxury purchase, is 24 years old, Lucas Hernandez, who created the record transfer fee in Bayern's history, is 23 years old, and Manchester United's introduction of Derich from Ajax Te is 20 years old, Frankie De Jong, also from the Eredivisie Arsenal, is 22 years old, and Rodri, Manchester City's only heavyweight signing, is 23 years old.In other words, half of the top ten players in the transfer fee this summer are U23 players, and there are countless young players worth 4000 million to 5000 million euros. Such a scene is unprecedented.

And half of the top ten stars in the transfer fee this summer also ended up in the Premier League, which has never happened before.

Many media such as The Times, Guardian, Bild, and L'Equipe have released a list of the most expensive players in each position in the 2019 summer window.

Among them, the goalkeeper position is relatively the cheapest position.

The player with the most expensive transfer fee in this position is Cillessen who transferred from Barcelona to Valencia. The transfer fee is 3500 million euros.With Cileson's personal ability, he can be the main goalkeeper in a wealthy team.It's just that Barcelona's main goalkeeper Ter Stegen is too good, and Cillessen can only choose to leave the team in order to get more opportunities to play.In fact, Ten Hag has considered this player before. Of course, it is definitely not to replace Ten Hag at the moment, just because Ten Hag is not very optimistic about the team's second goal Romero, and De Gea is not a ball player. Forget about the goalkeeper, his goalkeeping ability is still at the top, but the second goal must find someone who can play the ball, so Ten Hag took a fancy to Cillessen at the time, but the problem is that Cillessen wants to leave The reason for Barcelona is because he wants to play the main force, and he went to Manchester United, and De Gea is the main force, so why did he go?So when Ten Hag asked Cillessen's agent and got a clear refusal, Ten Hag didn't mind it.

In the position of left-back, the most expensive transfer fee this summer comes from the left-back Mendy introduced by Real Madrid from Ligue 4800.It cost [-] million euros. This price is not a small investment even in today's transfer market. After all, the position of full-back has always been low in transfer fees and low in value.

For the right back, it is Cancelo, who came to Manchester United from Juventus for 6500 million euros.

In the central defender position, the left central defender is Lucas Hernandez, who was introduced from Bayern Munich from Atletico Madrid. It cost Nan Da Wang 8000 million euros, which made him the most expensive player in the history of Bayern.

De Ligt is naturally the right central defender. The transfer fee of 1.2 million euros made the Dutch genius central defender the most expensive central defender in football history.But even at such an expensive price, Manchester United snatched him, and many professional footballers regarded it as a profit.

The three most expensive players in midfield.

They are Rodri, De Jong and Ndombele.

The transfer fees of these three players are 7000 million euros, 1.4 million euros and 6000 million euros.

Many newspapers put De Jong in the position of the midfielder, but judging from all the warm-up matches of Manchester United in the new season, De Jong was placed in the position of the central midfielder by Ten Hag. In fact, he is more inclined to the No. 8 players, the organization passed the ball forward in series, although he was wearing Manchester United's No. 6 uniform.

The position of the left winger is Hazard with a transfer fee of 1 million euros. This summer he joined the dream team Real Madrid. Although his contract will expire next year, in the contract year, his transfer fee Still reached 1 million euros.

The position of the right winger is Griezmann. Griezmann's operations this summer really surprised many people.This summer, Griezmann's move to Barcelona was finally settled. In the previous few seasons, the rumors about Grid joining Barcelona have never stopped.But this summer, Griezmann finally moved to Barcelona.The transfer fee is 1.2 million euros.

And the most expensive player at the center position is obviously Link.

2.3 million euros, the first transfer fee in history.

At this price, many media predict that the next time a player wants to break this price, it is estimated that only Mbappe will be there.

But if there is only one player of this level in the market, Mbappe, there may be a team that bids more than 2 million.

But now there is a Lin Ke who is younger than Mbappe, has more fans than Mbappe, scores more goals than Mbappe, and is more comprehensive than Mbappe. At that time, the team will spend money. Buy him for more than 2 million euros?
Of course, this is the judgment of the media

But it can also be seen from this list of 11 people.There are 6 players who have transferred to the Premier League, more than half, and the strength of the Premier League can also be seen.

The meaning of all that has been said above is also very clear. The Premier League is now the league with the best income, the largest investment, the fiercest competition, and the best-looking scenes.

The current Premier League, apart from the honor in the Intercontinental Cup, has become more and more like the little World Cup back then.

It's just that the honors of the Champions League and the Europa League are still far behind La Liga.

But for someone playing in the Premier League, that can all change.

Especially for Lin Kedi, he chose the Premier League because the degree of commercialization here is high enough.

He chose Manchester United because Manchester United is the club with the largest number of fans in the world. It may have been Real Madrid in the past, but since Lin Kedi joined Manchester United, Manchester United's social media fans have officially surpassed Real Madrid and ranked No. [-] in the social media list. First.

He chose Manchester United because of the high degree of commercialization of Manchester United, because Lin Kedi has never been satisfied with being just a football player.

He wants to use Manchester United's commercial express to realize his own commercial territory, and these are already in the process of being implemented slowly.

He wants to be able to buy a football club after retirement, like David Beckham or Ronaldo.

But unlike their clubs, one in the Major League Soccer and the other in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, Lin Kedi's goal is to put the teams in the Premier League and the English Championship.

But as we all know, England's teams are not cheap.

So Lin Kedi is still in the process of waiting and watching.

Lin Kedi does not want to leave football after retiring.

But he doesn't want to be so tired to be a coach, so being the chairman of a football club is very attractive to him.

For now, the thing to do is make money.

How to make money?Play well first.

Let's start with the game against Chelsea. (end of this chapter)
