Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 626

The major transfer news in the summer of 2007 will continue to be reported to you.

On June 3, Manchester City, which achieved the treble, transformed itself into a European giant.

The team suddenly announced through the official website that it had reached a consensus with the French Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon and acquired their rotation player, Karim Benzema, for 9 million euros.

Karim Benzema, 20 years old and 1.85 meters tall, was born in Lyon's youth training. Although he was promoted to the Lyon first team in the 2004-05 season, he has been a bench player for the team for three seasons in Lyon, which is full of talents.

Any transaction of Manchester City is enough to attract the attention of fans and media throughout the Premier League and even the whole of Europe.

The Sun's evaluation of this deal can represent the views of most people: "Manchester City spent a high price of 9 million euros to get a backup striker for the French Ligue 1 first team. There is no doubt that this is a premium deal. But combined with Manchester City's successful signings in the past two seasons. I think we can have certain expectations for the performance of this young Frenchman in the Premier League."

......

At noon on June 6, Real Madrid officially announced that the team's main defender Roberto Carlos chose to leave the team as a free agent and joined the Turkish Super League team Fenerbahce.

According to the Real Madrid team reporter, Roberto Carlos was strongly retained by several Brazilian teammates before he decided to leave, but the Brazilian heavy artillery was determined to leave.

La Liga media Marca contacted Roberto Carlos as soon as possible and conducted a telephone interview. The Brazilian mentioned in the interview: "I spent 11 years in Real Madrid. It was Real Madrid that made me, but I also made great contributions to Real Madrid. Now it's time to leave."

Since Ronaldo Nazario left at the beginning of the year, this is the second star in the team to choose to leave Real Madrid.

Obviously.

The Galaxy Battleship, which has been struggling for the past two seasons, has entered a reconstruction period. Fans believe that Carlos will definitely not be the only star to leave Real Madrid this summer.

................................................

In the evening of June 6, the triple crown Manchester City gave fans a big wave and directly broke the news of the joining of four players.

First.

It was a price of 1.3 million euros to bring a 21-year-old, 1.90-meter-tall young center, Mario Mandzukic, from Croatia.

As the third Croatian teenager to join Manchester City in two seasons, with the performance of Su Fei and Modric in the front, this deal is highly evaluated in the entire Manchester City fan circle.

"This kid can be Su's substitute, or form a frontcourt with Su to bombard the opponent's goal at will." A Manchester City fan replied on the fan forum.

......

After two forwards, Manchester City officially announced the joining of a midfielder.

Manchester City traded Italian teenager Mario Balotelli from Inter Milan U19 team for 4.5 million euros.

Ninety percent of the fans were confused after seeing this name. They didn't expect Manchester City to be willing to spend such a high price to buy a player from Inter Milan's youth team.

4.5 million euros may not be considered a high price in the transfer market in the past two seasons.

But if it is placed on an 18-year-old young midfielder, it is a bit incredible.

At the press conference, Manchester City coach Guardiola expressed his views on the deal to reporters: "Mario is a player with great potential and creativity. He scored 19 goals in just 20 games for Inter Milan's youth team. He is definitely not a youth team player, but a top league first team player. He will be the team's main midfield rotation next season."

......

After two forwards and a midfielder, the fourth player to join Manchester City this summer is a defender.

Manchester City spent 8 million euros to get Vincent Kompany from Hamburg in the Bundesliga.

Vincent Kompany, 20 years old and 1.9 meters tall, was born in the youth training of Anderlecht in the Belgian First Division.

If the previous three deals still have traces for Manchester City fans, then this deal has confused many people.

Because although Kompany's performance in Anderlecht in the Belgian First Division is indeed outstanding, as the team's main defender, he helped the team win two Belgian First Division titles.

But Kompany, who joined Hamburg last season, played only 13 games for the team due to an ankle injury.

"Manchester City bought a lottery ticket worth 8 million euros, and the lottery ticketThe cover of the article also says that the winning rate is 1%. I don't think this Belgian teenager, who has only played 13 games in the past year, can become one of Manchester City's main rotation players next season." - Anderson, a reporter from The Guardian.

......

If Kompany's joining has caused confusion and dissatisfaction among Manchester City fans.

The fourth player officially announced by Manchester City on the same day has well alleviated the fans' disappointment.

Manchester City spent a staggering 31 million euros to get Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira from Portuguese Super League giants Porto.

This 24-year-old, 1.88-meter-tall central defender/midfielder also has a nickname "Pepe" that is familiar to fans.

The Portuguese Pepe is Porto's most popular player in recent years. In the three seasons at Porto, he helped Porto win two Portuguese Super League titles, one Portuguese Cup title and two Portuguese Super Cup titles as a main player.

According to relevant sources.

Manchester City's biggest rival for Pepe this time is Real Madrid, and they finally won the competition with an extra 1 million euros.

"After they achieved the treble, Manchester City's appeal to all players who want to compete on a higher stage has increased exponentially. For Pepe, the attraction of joining Manchester City is even greater than that of Real Madrid, and this is the best proof. ”
