Chapter 829 Ordinary Income

Gulac's transfer can only be regarded as an ordinary transfer. Although he has served as the main goalkeeper in Southampton for four seasons, Mendy's performance last season also made people full of confidence in him. Qi left and Mendy took over. Such a substitution is not considered turbulent.

But then, there will be a few relatively big turmoil.

Before this, Ji Ya did not want to introduce players. For example, he took a fancy to the 23-year-old German midfielder Leon Goretzka, whose contract expired in Schalke [-]. However, although Southampton's olive branch is very attractive , However, Gretzka considered again and again and chose the Bundesliga overlord Bayern. This is also the rare number of times Southampton failed to dig people.

Regarding this, Ji Ya can only sigh, everyone has his own ambition, and if he can't attract five consecutive championships, then there is really no way, but it's a pity, this kid can be called another Ballack, an all-round midfielder, capable If he joins, Southampton's midfield hardness is estimated to increase a lot.

However, Southampton's midfielder has relatively high technical elements, and he may not be able to integrate in. This is also a problem.

Ji Ya had no other ideas for the time being when he failed to introduce Gretzka, but at this time, his midfielder was also poached.

The first to start is Atletico Madrid. Simeone took a fancy to his compatriot DePaul, and DePaul performed quite well last season. He can be described as an offensive and defensive balance in the midfield, showing the strength of a top midfielder. Atletico Madrid bid 3000 million pounds, hoping to sign him.

The other one who is favored is Hoybier. The Danish midfielder gradually became the main force last season. He cooperated tacitly with De Bruyne in the middle. It is precisely because of him and DePaul that Dunton's midfielder has become tougher outside of technology.

It is Tottenham who fancy him.

Ji Ya's attitude towards this is very clear, if you want to buy them, you can, but the money is enough.

The midfield is actually the part that Ji Ya is least worried about. They have too many outstanding players in the midfield. DePaul is gone, Valverde just fills in, if Hoybil leaves, Phillips may not be close, but to fill in His position is not difficult.

It's just the main midfielder of the five consecutive championships and the Triple Crown, this money is not enough.

Atletico Madrid and Tottenham are actually not short of money. Their signings are also sincere. They don't care whether Southampton can fill the vacancy. They want to improve their own strength.

In the past few years, the giants poached Southampton's players, in fact, they started with the intention of letting Southampton's strength decline rapidly-this is not an alliance, but just a tacit understanding between the giants.

If it is said that Real Madrid poached Navas and Ronaldo before, it was because they wanted to supplement their own strength, then the poaching of other teams will be more aggressive. Southampton's main players are poached one by one, every summer. Half of the main players had to go, if Ji Ya hadn't controlled it well, he wouldn't have had time for the substitutes to grow.

All this reached its peak last season. Barcelona would spend so much money to buy Coutinho and Dembele. In addition to being milked by Paris, there is another factor that Southampton did not There are no players who can fill those two vacancies.

The two of them were the substitutes who replaced Mane and Lukaku before. The best substitutes are Grealish and Sancho, but in fact, if Kiya uses these two to replace Coutinho and Dembele, then Southampton's performance will definitely decline rapidly.

Grealish and Coutinho have completely different characteristics, and Sancho is too young.

However, Ji Ya did not fill in the holes as before, but directly changed to a double striker, allowing Grealish to fully display his level in the back position, and allowing Sancho to continue to be a substitute... In this way their smooth transition.

Also after this summer, the giants were a little desperate, because no matter how hard they dug, Southampton's background became thicker and thicker.

When they poach a main player, Ji Ya can replace this position with a substitute, and then use the money of the main player to buy two or three players with more potential.

Faced with such a shrewd operation, how much money do you have to keep digging?

Moreover, in recent years, more and more American hot money has entered European clubs. There is a tacit understanding between you giants, but there is no tacit understanding with the new hot money. They dig it when they need it.

Therefore, the buyers of Atletico Madrid and Tottenham are also sincere.

Relatively speaking, the financial resources of the two sides are actually similar. It seems that Tottenham’s revenue is a little higher than that of Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid’s board of directors is much more generous. high-priced players.

Now the value of players in European football has begun to be linked to their age. A 24-year-old midfield star like DePaul is often worth quite a lot.

So in the end, after the negotiations, Atletico Madrid paid a full 5000 million pounds, about 6000 million euros, to sign DePaul, which took an important step for their midfield change.

After all, DePaul's state and strength are worthy of such a price.

Seeing that DePaul sold for 5000 million pounds, Tottenham were a little dumbfounded. They wanted Hoybil, but seeing DePaul's transfer fee, they knew that Hoybil's value must not be lower.

Tottenham don’t have much money right now. They haven’t been able to qualify for the Champions League for several seasons. People in the team can be regarded as fluctuating. After all, Kane, Sun Xingmin, Eriksson, and Alli have performed well in the Premier League. , and the stars who are still in their prime are always unable to even play in the Champions League, and they all have the idea of ​​​​leaving.

Under such circumstances, even Levi, who is stingy, has to open up more money bags to improve the team's strength and give the players more confidence.

After arduous negotiations with Southampton, Tottenham finally signed Hoybil with a transfer fee of 100 million pounds, and Hoybil's salary in Southampton was not high, only 12 pounds a week. With a high salary, he can get a weekly salary of [-] pounds at Tottenham, which has doubled.

The two midfielders sold for 100 million pounds, plus the transfer of goalkeeper Gulac, Southampton now made a net profit of 100 million pounds in the transfer market, but this is not for Southampton. , is no longer such a surprising thing.

Next, Ji Ya will fill in the flaws in the lineup.
