Chapter 718 Super Li Rui
(PS: There was a BUG in the previous chapter. In this book, Benitez has already served as the head coach of Inter Milan in the 2008-2009 season, so it should be the head coach Hodgson who had conflicts with Alonso. Apologies to everyone here.)
***********
Alonso's transfer is progressing very quickly. On the one hand, the player himself wants to leave, and on the other hand, Liverpool, which is in debt crisis, also intends to sell Alonso at a high price. Therefore, Real Madrid will soon negotiate with Liverpool. Suo's transfer was agreed.

On August 8, Liverpool's official website announced that it had agreed to sell Alonso to Real Madrid. Alonso had already gone to Madrid for a medical examination.

On the evening of August 8, Alonso, who arrived at Madrid Airport, received a grand welcome from the Madrid club and the media. The next day, the Spanish midfielder successfully completed all the medical examination items.

Less than half an hour after Alonso completed his medical examination, that is, at 8:18 on August 17, the official website of Real Madrid officially announced the joining of Harvey Alonso. The transfer fee was 25 million euros. A 3500-year contract.

***********
On August 8, Alonso, who had just joined Real Madrid, participated in Real Madrid's training session.

Li Rui also hugged Alonso before the start of training, welcoming this new teammate to join. It should be said that the two are old friends. Li Rui played for Manchester United for 4 seasons, and Alonso played for Liverpool for 5 seasons. This season, as opponents on the court, the two have played against each other no less than a dozen times including the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League. They are very familiar with each other.

Moreover, Manchester United and Liverpool are mortal enemies for a century, and neither of them thought that they would become club teammates in Real Madrid one day.

***********
During the training break, Li Rui expressed his welcome to Alonso in an interview with the club's "Aspen", "Xavi is a very good player. I know his ability. He can play for the ball. A player who brings confidence to the team."

After training, Alonso attended the press conference. The Spanish midfielder was very excited about being a member of the "Galacticos": "It has been a while since I made the decision to leave Liverpool. It is really great to have the opportunity to join Real Madrid. Fantastic, what better team can I join than Real Madrid?"

Talking about his future responsibilities in Real Madrid, Alonso said: "I will try to do what I have been doing in the middle of the midfield, try to help my teammates and guide the game, I know what I should do." Looks confident.

***********
Regarding the joining of Alonso, Real Madrid general manager Valdano said: "We all know that Alonso is an important piece to complete the Real Madrid lineup. Everything we paid for him is worth it. This summer, The club needs to cheer up, some very good players have joined us, strengthened the team in various positions, the fans are very excited about it. With Alonso, we can end the search for new players."

***********
Albiol, Arbeloa, Granero, Alonso, Kaka, Benzema, Li Rui, Real Madrid has added personnel in the defense, midfield and forward line, and the signings have come to an end , The focus of the next stage of work will be cleaning.

Sneijder, van der Vaart, Huntelaar, Robben and other Dutch players, as well as Negredo are all players that Valdano will consider to be purged. and German clubs.

After Sneijder moved to Real Madrid, his performance at the beginning was amazing. He wore the No. 23 jersey left by Beckham, which once made people forget the departure of the England captain. Ned had a perfect start. He performed well in the first season of joining Real Madrid and won a La Liga title. However, in the 2008-2009 season, Sneijder, who returned from injury, joined Real Madrid together. Into the winter.

After Florentino was elected as the chairman of Real Madrid, he clearly expressed the meaning of "de-Dutch", which means that players including Sneijder, Robben, Van der Vaart, and Huntelaar Facing the fate of being purged.

***********
In fact, after Sneijder knew that he was no longer in the future list of Florentino's "Galaxy Battleship II", he was already looking for a home for his future. The story of him and Inter Milan is a lengthy one. For soap operas, one of the two parties is willing to go, and the other is eager for talent. However, Sneijder has high requirements for remuneration, and the two sides have been arguing.

On August 8, it was discovered that on the Real Madrid training ground, Lars Diarra wore the No. 21 jersey that belonged to Sneijder, but the original owner of this number, Sneijder, did not appear on the training ground .

At the end of the training, a reporter from "Marca" stopped Li Rui and asked him about it.

"Wesley?" Li Rui glanced at the reporter. "You should have seen his news (on Real Madrid's official website) this afternoon. We wish him good luck."

***********
Real Madrid players know that Sneijder has decided to join Inter Milan, and the head coach Manuel Pellegrini also announced the news before training today, and the official website will announce the news next, so Li Rui did not The need to conceal.

Sure enough, that afternoon, Real Madrid's official website announced that Dutch star Wesley Sneijder had joined Inter Milan for 1500 million euros. Membership fee, if Sneijder performs well in Inter Milan, Real Madrid will receive an additional transfer fee of up to 1 million euros.

The news of Sneijder's transfer to Inter Milan immediately attracted the attention of the media. "Aspen" stated in the article, "Sneijder went to Milan. Will this be the beginning of the Dutch gang leaving the Bernabeu?"

***********
Sneijder's departure is not the end of Real Madrid's purge.

On the third day after Sneijder transferred to Inter Milan, Li Rui didn't see Huntelaar in the Real Madrid Sports City, so he knew that the Dutch striker was leaving.

Subsequently, before Real Madrid announced Huntelaar's departure, the official website of AC Milan could not wait to announce that Huntelaar came to the San Siro Stadium with a worth of 1500 million euros. The Dutch striker and AC Milan Signed for four years, with an annual salary of 350 million euros.And Pirlo has already expressed his appreciation and welcome to this new Dutch teammate, "If it weren't for the transfer fee, I believe Galliani could have finalized this excellent shooter earlier."

Compared with the 2700 million euros when he joined Real Madrid, 1500 million euros is undoubtedly a derogation for Huntelaar now.At this time in the summer of 2009, purely in terms of strength and status, Huntelaar’s worth was around 3000 million, which was completely reasonable, Gomez sold for 3500 million, and Benzema sold for 4100 million (3800 million + 300 million floating) euros , Van Marwijk's main striker for the national team fully deserves the more expensive price.However, in this summer that was completely disrupted by Real Madrid, Huntelaar became a victim helplessly.

After Sneijder and Huntelaar went to both sides of the city of Milan, "Aspen" said that Ruud van Nistelrooy was the next to feel trembling, followed by van der Vaart and Robben.Moreover, even the pro-Real Madrid "Aspen" also stated that the Dutch gang was dismantled not because of competitive factors. The sad thing about the Dutch gang is that they appeared in the most inappropriate place at the most inappropriate time. .The Bernabéu is gradually fading its orange aura.

***********
However, at this time, Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini, who has been very 'low-key', stepped forward to speak. He said that Ruud van Nistelrooy's experience in major competitions and the ability to decide games are what Real Madrid needs.

The implication of Pellegrini's words is that he hopes that Van Nistelrooy will stay at the Bernabeu. In the future plans of the Chileans, Van Nistelrooy still has a place.

This is the turbulent introduction and cleaning process of Real Madrid this summer. For the first time, Pellegrini stood up to express his opinion on the fate of a certain player, and Florentino also gave Pellegrini enough For Ni's face, after Pellegrini said these words, Florentino also said in an interview, "Front line? After Huntelaar, no one will leave and no one will come again .”

***********
Van Nistelrooy himself is not willing to leave Real Madrid. Florentino's statement also means that Van Nistelrooy will stay in the team, but it also makes the competition for the strikers more intense.Now Real Madrid has 5 forwards, Li Rui, Higuain, Benzema, Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

It stands to reason that a team with 5 forwards is not too many. After all, in Pellegrini's tactics, it is a double forward tactic.

Having three substitute forwards is not too extravagant in a wealthy team. The key point is that, except for Li Rui who is basically the main force that cannot be shaken, Benzema was bought by Florentino for 3800 million euros, and Raul is The boss of Real Madrid's dressing room, Ruud van Nistelrooy is also an old player, and Higuain's performance has also won the recognition of the Bernabeu. It is a bit cruel for the other four to compete for a starting position.

For Pellegrini, this is naturally an annoyance, but it is also a 'happiness annoyance', and any of the five Real Madrid shooters, as long as they are healthy, will also be the main force in other giants teams Naturally, Real Madrid once again marveled at his luxury and extravagance, enjoying the envious or jealous sour eyes of everyone.

***********
The time has entered the middle and late August, and the team's signing work has come to an end. After Negredo joined Sevilla for 1500 million euros, only van der Vaart and Robben, the two Dutchmen.

Moreover, in Pellegrini's suggestion, it seems that Van der Vaart is also inclined to stay in the team. In the view of Chilean engineers, Real Madrid's midfielder only has Kaka, Alonso, and two Diarras. Guti is not enough, and Van der Vaart is needed as a supplement, and the Dutchman also expressed his hope to stay at the Bernabeu to prove his meaning.

Now, in a practical sense, only 'Peter Pan' Robben's transfer issues are still entangled.

The recruitment and stay of the team's players has basically been fixed, and Pellegrini has also begun to put all his thoughts on the team's tactical training.

***********
Pellegrini's first headache is the striker. Li Rui is the 2000 million pound man handpicked by Florentino. No matter from the perspective of Li Rui's strength and market development, Li Rui will definitely occupy a main force The position of the shooter.

Moreover, to be honest, Pellegrini still admires Li Rui as the "world's number one shooter", although it is rumored that he and Li Rui pays from time to time, and there may be a little grudge between the two of them. However, Pellegrini has also begun to slowly recognize Li Rui. Li Rui is the kind of guy that almost all head coaches will like very much. This kind of player - trains hard, plays seriously, never gives up until the last moment, and has an extraordinary desire for victory.Of course, the most important thing is that a superstar like Li Rui has the ability to end the game at a certain moment!
***********
Now, Pellegrini is thinking about who Li Rui will partner with as a striker.

During the match during the trip to China, Li Rui and Raul's partner also had sparks. Although Li Rui and Raul have a normal relationship, there is still a common language between the two great strikers in football.

In the next warm-up match between Real Madrid and Dortmund, Li Rui and Benzema also showed good signs of tacit understanding. Rui's goal played a very good containment role.

Then, in another warm-up match against Porto, Li Rui's partner was Higuain in the first half and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the second half. Although there was no outstanding performance, Pellet Greene realized that almost all four shooters including Raul, Benzema, Higuain and Ruud van Nistelrooy can partner with Li Rui. Help your partner to develop a tacit understanding with yourself!

This also made Pellegrini very entangled. If there was a problem with Li Rui's partner with someone, he might be able to make a better decision.

In this way, when Pellegrini has not yet made a decision, the 2009-2010 La Liga season is approaching... Li Rui will also usher in his La Liga debut in Real Madrid!
