"I firmly believe that we will be a great team!"

In the chairman's office at Barcelona's Camp Nou, Laporta cursed indignantly when the voice of Ronaldo was heard on the TV, and reporters and media praised Real Madrid's signing of yet another superstar.

“***！” He had the urge to flip the table.

Ingra and Begiristain sat on the couch on either side of him, looking unpleasant, and it was clear that the situation was already very serious, at least the horn of the palace played by Russell had driven Laporta to the end of the road.

"How much money do we have now?" Laporta asked with concern.

Ingla sighed, frowning a little embarrassed, "Our real transfer budget this season is only about 50 million euros, and it cost 9 million to buy Pique, and we now have 40 million euros left to invest in the transfer market." ”

As Rosell said, Real Madrid has risen strongly in recent years, and Barcelona has not made a breakthrough in income after a large number of reinforcements, especially last year, the introduction of Alves cost such a large amount of money, and in the end, the Brazilian fullback's performance has fluctuated greatly, becoming a big parallel import, which makes Laporta the focus of Barcelona fans.

Now Barcelona is trying to raise money in every possible way, but it really can't come up with more.

"40 million euros?" Laporta sneered a little, "Who can you buy?" ”

Both Ingla and Begiristain were speechless, because it was okay to bring in some utilitarian players in the transfer market at this price, but it would be difficult to bring in first-class stars, and Barcelona needed to bring in players in many positions.

"Selling Ronaldinho is expected to raise 20 million euros, and other players such as Oleg are expected to raise another 10 million, so the transfer budget we can use at the moment is 70 million euros!" Begiristan analyzed, but soon he felt the need to remind Laporta.

'Pep Guardiola has already made a transfer plan, the centre-back has to bring in another player, Pique is our bet on the future, the midfield and the wing also need to be brought in, especially after Ronaldinho leaves, and he wants to get a tall centre-forward.

Laporta glanced at Begiristain and asked with a smile: "Then did you tell him how much Drogba and Ibrahimovic are worth now?" ”

Begiristain was a little embarrassed, but knew that the two center forwards were not cheap.

Previously, Liverpool had some financial problems because of the new stadium and did not rule out the sale of Drogba, but this situation has been lifted with the transfer of Ronaldo, and the transfer of the Portuguese not only strengthened Real Madrid and weakened Laporta, but also dealt a blow to Barcelona's operation in the transfer market.

Didier Drogba can't, Ibrahimovic is likely, because he has a greedy agent and is now preparing to get a raise with Inter, but the question is, how much do you have to come up with to convince Inter?

"What do Inter Milan think of Eto'o in exchange for Ibrahimovic's plan?" Laporta asked.

Ingra shook his head, "Inter don't need Eto'o, they have Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo, and Luca? Toney, and Eto'o also said through his agent that he is not willing to be an addition to someone else's transfer. ”

"!" Laporta burst into another foul language, and he was now in a very anxious mood.

The crowd of fans outside is raging, the special committee has launched an investigation into the referendum, and if he can't come up with measures to convince the fans in the shortest possible time, he may even become the first Barcelona president to be ousted by the referendum, which will make him the laughing stock of the Barcelona region, and his idea of participating in politics through Barcelona will not be realized.

"We have to come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible, at least in the shortest possible time, to bring in a superstar who can suppress the emotions of the fans!" Laporta appeared anxious. "But the financial side is ......," Ingla worried.

Laporta immediately interrupted him, "I'll get in touch with the bank right away, and you can go to Milan right away." ”

Ingra listened and nodded.

Laporta looked at Begiristain again, "We have to finalize a superstar as soon as possible, just say that Guardiola has handpicked him!" ”

The latter is also familiar with this, and all club management is like this, if it is good, it will take credit, and if it is bad, it will shirk responsibility, and the manager will often easily become the target of public criticism.

As the curtain of the European Championship gradually opened, the focus of fans around the world suddenly shifted from Spain, which triggered the summer transfer, to Austria and Switzerland, focusing on the European Championship matches.

As one of the authoritative competitions representing the highest level of European and even world football, although there has been a gradual tendency to be holistic and conservative in recent years, there is actually still some wonderful games, especially as the head coach of the team, Yang Cheng almost watches every game.

This is not only because he has to write columns for Bild and Marca, but also to interact with fans on online blogs and Weibo, but also because he hopes to further improve and improve his tactical literacy by observing the tactics of these national team managers during the game.

He benefited a lot from the World Cup in Germany in '06, and he believes that this European Championship will not be bad either.

The most impressive in the first leg of the group stage was Spain, which defeated Russia 4-1, Villa scored a hat trick, and the Spanish squad that played the 442 tactics had 5 players from Real Madrid, namely Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, David? Silva and Villa.

Villa scored a hat-trick and became the most eye-catching player in the first round.

But Sweden, who were in the same group, also defeated Greece 2-0 with Ibrahimovic's pass and shot.

In the second leg, Torres' goal and Ibrahimovic's equalizer both brought the game to a fever pitch, and at the critical moment, Villa's final strike in the 90th minute allowed Spain to win two in a row.

In the other game, Russia defeated Greece 1:0 with the outstanding performance of Tsar Ashavin, and defeated Sweden 2:0 in the third leg, these two games also made Arshavin the brightest star in the European Cup, while Sweden stopped in the group stage, Ibrahimovic performed well with 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 games.

After that, the whole process seems to be similar to Yang Cheng's previous life, Spain finally defeated Germany 1:0, and even if the German team successfully reached the final, Yang Cheng still feels that the defects of Loew's coaching ability make Germany slowly lose its tradition.

In fact, Yang Cheng has always supported Klinsmann to coach Germany, and also contributed to his retention after the World Cup, but in the end he submitted his resignation at the end of 06, and the newly appointed Loew led Germany to bumps, whether it was in the peripheral group stage, or in the group stage of the European Championship, or even all the way to the final, Germany's performance was unconvincing.

Of course, if Germany finally crossed the previous ups and downs, then the clumsiness of the final made Yang Cheng feel that he had to point out the biggest problem of the German team.

"This is a German team that has lost its tenacious traditions, this is not at all the German team that I know and expect, not in terms of technology, in fact, the German team has improved very quickly, which shows the success of the academy, but the problem is that in the face of Spain, which is more technically delicate, no team should pursue the ground ball too much."

"Giving up on your strengths and sticking to your weaknesses is really a big tactical mistake in the German final, especially when Loew failed to turn the situation around at a crucial moment and caused the final defeat, if you can attack more actively and resolutely from the beginning of the game, so that the team is more aggressive and aggressive, I think the situation will be very different." …,

"But the most important thing is that I don't see the spirit of never giving up in Germany at the crucial moments, and I don't see the willpower of Germany to desperately try to salvage the defeat and equalize after conceding the goal, which is undoubtedly the key to Germany's loss, because we still have an hour to save the game when we are behind, but we don't do anything."

"Of course, I don't think you can be too harsh on the players and Loew, Spain are really better, Aragonés has a very good strategy, and to reach the final of the European Championship with a lot of strong teams, Germany has undoubtedly proved their quality, but if they want to go further, they need to improve their skills and willpower."

"In my ideals, Germany should be on the basis of retaining the original fighting spirit and hard-liner style, adding more delicate passing and receiving cooperation, on the basis of the original superhuman physical fitness and tactical execution, adding more intelligent running without the ball, but now it seems that Germany still has a long way to go!"

Yang Cheng's column in the Bild newspaper resonated with German fans, who also felt that the German team lacked tenacity and never-give-up spirit, but many fans pointed out that Loew's coaching style has always been like this.

As Yang Cheng often said, a tame sheep leads a pack of wolves, and they should never be expected to show their wolf blood.

Of course, Yang Cheng is not the kind of manager who is harsh on others, so he did not say all this in his column, he just commented on the German team about the final, proposed the direction of improvement, and also called for more time and opportunities for Loew.

And with the European Championship coming to an end, more and more fans are beginning to look at the transfer market.

In Cristiano? Ronaldo has already determined who else will be the sweet spot in the transfer market after moving to Real Madrid, which immediately attracted media attention, and the first to bear the brunt is undoubtedly Liverpool's Russian star Arshavin.

At this moment, the whole world couldn't help but marvel at the treasure house left by Yang Cheng for Liverpool again, and all the KOPs were full of praise for the foundation left by Yang Cheng, thinking that Yang Cheng kept the foundation of Liverpool's dynasty.

Xiao Xiao Luo almost broke the world's sky-high record, Robben, Ribery, Drogba, Gerrard, all of them are the hottest superstars in the world, and now there is another Arshavin, the outside world's transfer fee for the Russian tsar has reached a sky-high price of 40 million euros, you can imagine how hot he is.

And all of this was left by Yang Cheng for them!

However, Liverpool also made it clear that Arshavin will continue to stay in the team for the new season, because Liverpool want to continue to make a difference in the league and Champions League, so it is also very important to maintain the strength of the team.

The day after the end of the European Cup, Manchester United announced that it had brought in Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur at a high price of 38.1 million euros.

In fact, the reason why Ferguson is interested in the dashing brother is the pass that Berbatov turned after dropping back to get the ball.

For the Bulgarian striker, Yang Cheng also took a fancy to it back then, because he had the technical ability to pull out the central defender defense, retreat to take the ball with his back and turn around and plug it straight behind him, which made Berbatov's tactical significance in the front court very significant, but the problem is that the Bulgarian's level of dedication to the game discouraged Yang Cheng.

But Lao Fuye's personality is the same as a woman in love, I believe I can change his personality!

In addition to Manchester United, Arsenal also announced that they will sign Nasri from Marseille for a high price of 20 million euros, and the French midfielder is also hailed as Zidane's successor. …,

In order to raise this transfer fee, Wenger did not hesitate to transfer Belarusian star Hleb to Barcelona for 15 million euros, plus several other transfers, so that Arsenal's income and expenditure in the transfer market are basically balanced.

In La Liga, on the same day after Barcelona signed Hleb, Laporta announced that Barcelona introduced Keita from Sevilla for 16 million euros, and this midfielder will also comprehensively strengthen Barcelona's midfield configuration, and the signing of Uruguayan central defender Cáceres from Villarreal for 18 million euros is seen as a big signal for the team to strengthen the backline.

Three consecutive transfers, all of which are first-class stars in Europe, also made all Barcelona fans feel Laporta's courage, and as a competitor, Rosell is suspicious of where Laporta's transfer fee came from.

But when Rusell's doubts had not yet been responded to by Barcelona fans, Laporta did not give him more time and directly announced a blockbuster transfer again.

…………

On 3 July, nearly 90,000 fans frantically poured into the stands at the Camp Nou, waiting for the arrival of their great superstars.

Zlatan? Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish striker who is destined to go down in the history books of Barcelona, because from this day on, he will become the most valuable striker in the world, and he will move from Inter Milan to Barcelona for a historic price of 86 million euros.

So many fans gathered at the Camp Nou stadium, completely breaking the world record set by Yang Cheng when he joined the Bernabeu, and at the same time, all Barcelona fans felt the shock brought by Ibrahimovic.

In fact, long before the debut, the media in Catalonia began to build momentum for Ibrahimovic's arrival, promoting the amazing strength of the Swedish striker, and even Cruyff himself stood up and said that Ibrahimovic would be the most special player in the Barcelona team and a huge asset to the team.

Guardiola also said that Ibrahimovic's strength is better than that of Xiao Xiaoluo, which can help Barcelona completely solve the defect of the single offensive means in the team and let Barcelona's attack take off again.

At the unveiling ceremony in the middle of the Camp Nou, Laporta thanked the Barcelona fans with ambition.

"Your arrival is the greatest symbol of Barcelona football, and the management and I have been doing everything we can to regain respect and glory for the club, and today we have a top star who we believe will bring us the greatest success!"

Ibrahimovic walked out of the tunnel wearing the No. 9 shirt of Barcelona, ran onto the pitch, hugged the club's godfather Cruyff and manager Pep Guardiola, and then walked to Laporta's side, and finally the Barcelona president was responsible for introducing him to all the Barcelona fans in the stadium.

"Dear Zlatan? Zlatan Ibrahimovic, this group of Barcelona fans is here for you, and it is they who have pushed Barcelona to the current height, and now, they all want you to use your talent, your skills, to help this great club rise to unprecedented heights! ”

"We all want you to understand that the first condition for success at Barcelona is to work together as a team, but dear Zlatan? Ibrahimovic, that doesn't stop you from being a Barcelona fan favourite, welcome to Camp Nou, welcome to Barcelona! ”

Ibrahimovic looked very excited, waving to the fans, who were immediately cheered on by the Barcelona fans, and then he began his first words as a Barca player. "I seem to be living in a dream, there are many great teams in the world, but only Barcelona is so different, it is so wonderful for me to be teammates with Messi, Xavi and so on! ”

"I know there are a lot of fans and reporters out there who doubt my worth and think I don't deserve such a high price, but I myself think I deserve it because I'm better than Cristiano? Cristiano Ronaldo, better than Kaka, I'm the best player in the world and I don't need the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer to prove I'm the number one in the world. ”

"I will prove my worth with practical actions, and I will make those who like to chew the root of their tongue regret what they have said!"

"I came to Barcelona for only one reason, to help the team beat Real Madrid!"

"I came to Barcelona with only one purpose, to help the team firmly trample the opponent under my feet!"

"Don't doubt if I can do it, I'll prove it with a steady stream of goals, I'll show it with my performances, all the doubts about me are stupid!"

"Everyone, all the Barcelona fans, wait for the league title!"

"Long live Barcelona!!" Ibu tugged hard at the team badge on his chest and kissed it hard.

This series of speeches completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the Camp Nou, and the entire Camp Nou stadium suddenly turned into a vast ocean, and the shouts of the fans seemed to drown Ibrahimovic in the middle.

At this moment, Laporta's palace crisis is also self-defeating!

But a new crisis looms over the Camp Nou.
