As time enters mid-to-late July, the transfer market this summer has gradually become hotter.

The one who made the biggest move was Real Madrid.

In addition to acquiring Ronaldo for 80 million, they also spent 30 million euros to buy Kroos from Bayern Munich.

In addition, as if to avenge their loss to Hamburg in the Champions League final, they made a revenge consumption.

In addition to repurchasing Carvajal, Real Madrid also purchased Hamburg's two main players Navas and Casemiro in a package!

Reinforcing yourself by directly poaching your opponents is a yes.

Of course, this is indeed a useful addition to their current lineup.

In the goalkeeper position, Casillas is coming off the top, while Diego Lopez is still a little far from the top, and he also left for Milan for free in the summer window.

Navas' performance in Hamburg has always been solid, coupled with his heroic performance in the World Cup, Lafayette believes that the introduction of this Costa Rican can add insurance to Real Madrid's defense.

Casemiro has always been in Real Madrid's sights. Midfielders such as Shahin, Cheryshev, Di Maria, Alonso and other midfielders in the summer transfer team have left the team, and more manpower needs to be added.

Therefore, the "ceremony three midfielders" were also assembled at this time!

Although Real Madrid spent a lot of money to purchase Ronaldo and the three Hamburg players, their net investment was actually not particularly large.

Because the people they sell to are not cheap either.

For example, forward Morata was sold to Juventus for 20 million euros, while Di Maria was sold to Manchester United for a whopping 75 million euros!

In this summer's transfer market, the only one who can compare with Real Madrid is their mortal enemy Barcelona.

In addition to the 81 million bid for Suarez, they also bought Rakitic for 18 million euros, Ter Stegen for 12 million euros, Mathieu for 20 million euros, Vermaelen for 19 million euros, and Vermaelen for 12 million euros.

Bravo of 10,000 euros...

In the Premier League, the two most powerful teams, Liverpool and Manchester United, are making the biggest noise.

After selling Suarez at a high price, Liverpool introduced ten players including Balotelli, Lallana, Markovic, Emre Can, Lovren, and Origi.

Su Ya is really "a water source for the entire army".

After Manchester United experienced a humiliating season, they also recruited aggressively, hoping to make a comeback under the leadership of coach Louis van Gaal.

In addition to buying Di Maria at a high price, they also brought Luke Shaw from Southampton for 31.5 million euros, Herrera from Athletic Bilbao for 29 million, plus Rojo, Blind, and Fall.

Examine the heroes and your strength will increase greatly.

In North London, Arsenal's biggest move was to buy Chilean star Sanchez from Barcelona for 35 million, and "Black Bay" Welbeck from Manchester United for 16 million.

Tottenham's investment was even less. Except for signing Paulinho from Hamburg for 25 million euros, the remaining five or six transfers cost less than 20 million euros in total.

The most surprising thing is Manchester City.

This rich team, which burned through money in previous years, actually did not continue to increase investment this year.

Their biggest deal was the signing of defender Mangala from Porto for 32 million, and they also acquired Fernando from the same team for 12 million.

The other two larger transfers are free.

One is Sagna's free transfer from Arsenal, and the other is Lampard.

After his contract with Chelsea expired, Lampard freely joined New York City of the American Major League, but was first loaned back to Manchester City for half a season.

From the perspective of "hindsight"...

Neither Tottenham nor Manchester City have invested much this season.

Maybe it was because Manchester City finally won the championship and they felt that "the strongest person is already in the team". Maybe Tottenham's boss Levy broke the pot after being rejected by Pan Yi, but from the final result, Pan Yi

It is true that from the three teams that were "shortlisted for the finals", the one with the most money was chosen.

And now, it's time for him to spend money!

------------------

When Abramovich invited Pan Yi to become the head coach of Chelsea, including signing the contract, he indeed only talked about the long-term plan, but did not talk about the specific performance requirements, which touched Pan Yi's heart.

This shows that Abramovich really trusts him and hopes that he can lead Chelsea to gradually become a real world powerhouse!

Pan Yi knows that this kind of trust from the boss and the management will make his next work easier and the management of the locker room will be more convenient.

However, the boss does not ask for results, he himself will ask for it, and he also needs his players to know the season goals.

So he did the opposite and shouted the slogan of winning the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship.

Of course, Pan Yi still has a lot of work to do to truly turn the slogan into reality.

Judging from the current Chelsea lineup, the goalkeeper is the position that you don’t need to worry about the least.

Veteran Cech is getting stronger with age, and Courtois also performed extremely well during his loan at Atletico Madrid. He is one of the biggest contributors to Atletico Madrid's ability to win the La Liga championship and enter the Champions League semi-finals.

Coupled with the veteran Australian goalkeeper and goalkeeper coach Schwarzer, it can be said that he is a famous player from the first to the third goal.

Whether it is the youth of the team or the goalkeeper requirements of the 3-back formation that Pan Yi wants to promote in the new season, Courtois will be a strong contender for Chelsea's main goalkeeper in the new season.

He is tall and long-armed, has solid skills, and extremely quick reaction speed. He has no obvious shortcomings in catching air balls and ground balls, and his performance is impeccable when he is playing crazy.

Even when it comes to playing the ball in the backcourt, Courtois's footwork doesn't hold him back much.

Although it cannot be said to be outstanding, at least it is quite satisfactory.

Compared with Cech, Courtois is only 22 years old this year and is still in the rising period of his career. This advantage is even more obvious.

The second position Chelsea has strong reserves is the central defender.

It stands to reason that Pan Yi is planning to try a three-back formation in the new season, especially the more offensive 343 formation, which has very high requirements for the "quality" and "quantity" of the central defender.

But Chelsea has it!

The first is the three genuine central defenders, Cahill, Terry and David Luiz.

Heading the ball, intercepting, playing the ball...all at once.

Especially the presence of David Luiz made Pan Yi unable to think of any better choices for the moment.

Because in Pan Yi's 343 system, he requires the central defender to have excellent passing skills, so that he can avoid the opponent's immediate pressing force and find the most suitable forward passing route to handle the ball.

And for this central defender, Pan Yi's task is not just to "insure the ball", but sometimes he will even be asked to use his overall view of the field to make some threatening passes in order to directly tear the opponent apart.

Line of defense, the purpose of accelerating counterattack.

Obviously, David Luiz is the person who can perfectly complete such a task.

People's first impression of him is not even his wonderful performances on the back line, but his elegant falling ball or his stable "card machine" in the backcourt.

Data can prove the Brazil international's excellent passing skills.

Just this past season, David Luiz completed a total of 1,570 passes, with a pass success rate of 84%.

At the same time, considering that his technical characteristics are that he often moves forward into the frontcourt to participate in organizing attacks, David Luiz's passing success rate in the frontcourt is also 50%, his midfield passing success rate is 87%, and his passing success rate in the backcourt is 50%.

The success rate is a full 96%.

Of course, since in the organization, David Luiz often cuts forward next to the two defensive midfielders, or even goes to the frontcourt to complete the shot, so two other central defenders are needed to fill in, and this is the case with Terry and Cahill.

A conscientious and conscientious person.

It can be said that Chelsea's three central defenders are almost the perfect three-back system template in Pan Yi's mind.

It is precisely because of this that Pan Yi rejected Paris Saint-Germain's offer of up to 50 million euros for David Luiz and kept him at Chelsea.

Of course, in a long season and Chelsea has four events to deal with, it is impossible to have only three central defenders in the team.

However, Chelsea still have Azpilicueta and Ivanovic in the first team!

Although the two of them more often appear at right back or right wing back, they can also play as center backs.

Especially the versatile Azpilicueta, who was transformed into a qualified left center back when Pan Yi's previous life, Conte, took over Chelsea and played as a third center back, and won the Premier League championship with the team.

Coupled with Ake and Zuma in the youth team, it can be said that there is no need to worry about people.

Especially Ake, whether he is in the future Manchester City or the Dutch team, his left-footed central defender can play a very important role in the three-back system.

Therefore, what Chelsea currently lacks is wing-backs, especially left wing-backs.

After veteran Ashley Cole left the team, Pan Yi couldn't even find an authentic candidate who could play left back!

If we have to play a game now, we still have to find Azpilicueta to take over...

Why did Mourinho say "If I had 11 Azpilicuetas, I could win all the championships"? This is the important reason!

Therefore, the first focus of the next signing is the left wing-back.

In the midfield position, the two midfielders in the middle of Pan Yi's 343 formation are relatively far back and require certain organizational and scheduling abilities.

Among them, Matic is an excellent candidate.

Although he is not fast, he has certain passing skills and high-altitude ball interception ability. He can also retreat to the back line after David Luiz penetrates forward to increase the number of people in the backcourt.

But the other one is not suitable.

The Brazilians Oscar, William, and Ramirez in the team are all offensive midfielders. Mikel is tough enough, but he is still far from Pan Yi's requirements in terms of defensive coverage and midfield interception.

There is a certain distance.
