Chapter 47 Summer Transfer

Since the summer transfer window officially opened on July 1, major European football teams have begun to look for their favorite players. But compared to the crazy summer of 2001, even with the addition of the World Cup, this summer in Europe, It still seems relatively quiet, with only the occasional big-money transfer causing ripples in European football.

Among them is Yin Jun, a talented young man from the far east.

Because of the World Cup, this originally unknown boy from the East rose like a comet and became the biggest discovery of this controversial World Cup.

Before the summer transfer window opened, transfer officials from many European clubs flew to the East, hoping to take under their wing this super talent who has amazed the world.

In the face of the increasing psychological expectations of Yin Jun's old club, the Chinese club Jiangzhou Jinfan, including wealthy teams like Arsenal, they all chose to give up. In the end, only Manchester United and Real Madrid, who were not short of money, were left. , still persisting.

Although the two hottest clubs in today's world football hope to sign Yin Jun, neither club has any heavyweights going to China because the attention of these big shots is still on Europe.

………………

Manchester United's biggest target this summer is rival Leeds United defender Rio Ferdinand. The 23-year-old England international center back performed very well during the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, which also caused his value to soar.

For competitive reasons, Los Blancos definitely don't want to let go of the international centre-back who set a Premier League transfer record of 18 million pounds two years ago.

During the two seasons that Ferdinand joined the team, Leeds United achieved remarkable results. Although they failed to win the championship in the league, they still ranked among the best, once fourth and once fifth. In Europe, in the 2000-2001 season, the team ranked first It reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and the knockout rounds of the UEFA Cup last season.

However, crisis is also brewing in the midst.

In pursuit of results, Leeds United borrowed heavily and hoped to fill the financial gap by qualifying for the UEFA Champions League and sharing the revenue from event television broadcasts and sponsorships. Leeds United used high transfer fees and wages to attract Seth Johnson and Robbie ·Fowler joined one after another.

However, last season Leeds United ranked fifth in the Premier League behind Newcastle United, failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, and the team was unable to repay its huge debt.

Under such circumstances, Leeds United could only start selling off its stars to raise funds to alleviate debt. Rio Ferdinand, who is beginning to enter the golden age of his career, is undoubtedly the most valuable player.

There are definitely more than a dozen teams in European football that are interested in Ferdinand, but most of them are poor people who can't afford much real money, or they are stingy people who want to take advantage of the situation and lower the price.

Among the many suitors of Ferdinand, the most sincere is Manchester United. However, the Red Devils are the mortal enemies of the White Rose. This makes Leeds United's senior management very embarrassed.

Manchester United's pursuit of Ferdinand started early, but until the end of the World Cup and the official opening of the summer transfer window, the two sides were still gossiping.

Mainly, Leeds United, for the sake of their final dignity, refused to let go, even though their management had already smelled the fragrance of the pounds in Manchester United's hands and even coveted it.

……………………

Florentino, who implements the superstar policy, hopes to continue to introduce a midfield and frontcourt superstar to Real Madrid this summer. Their original goal was to renew the contract with Manchester United and the Red Devils' top star David Beckham, the England midfield superstar.

He is the most successful star in the commercial development of football in the world today. Real Madrid's introduction of him will definitely improve its market development in an all-round way.

But in May, inspired by his feelings, Beckham completed a contract extension with Manchester United. With a sky-high weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, he locked himself in Old Trafford for the next three years.

With Beckham unable to come to the Bernabeu Stadium, Florentino set his sights on Inter Milan's star player, the alien Ronaldo.

As a Serie A giant, Inter Milan also does not want to lose its star player. The progress of the transfer has always made Florentino very dissatisfied, and even made Real Madrid fans unhappy for a time.

When running for the chairmanship of Real Madrid, Florentino promised the fans that he would introduce a superstar every year to build a world-famous Galaxy battleship. Now that this policy has only been implemented for two years and is unsustainable, then members

I am afraid that support for him will waver.

Under such circumstances, Florentino, on the one hand, intensified his efforts on Ronaldo, and on the other hand, he wanted to introduce a star with a certain degree of popularity to first stabilize the restless hearts of the fans.

And this target is Yin Jun, the Chinese genius who became famous in the World Cup.

As a talented leader in market development, Florentino has long seen the potential of the rapidly developing Chinese market.

………………

When Yin Jun's transfer seemed to be in a deadlock, the League A, which had been suspended for more than two months due to the World Cup, also resumed.

Under such circumstances, Yin Jun chose to join the team.

At 7:30 pm on July 3, four games in the seventh round of League A started at the same time. One of the games was particularly eye-catching, that was Jiangzhou Jinfan’s away game against Pengcheng Ping An.

This was originally a match between two mid-tier teams in the A-League, so it was not expected to receive much attention. However, because of Yin Jun's appearance, this match became one of the highlights of this round of the A-League.

In this game, Yin Jun started the game.

Since the league has been suspended for more than a month, the situation of each team has changed. Therefore, both teams did not get into the state quickly after the start, and the rhythm was very slow. In the first 15 minutes, Jinfan and Ping An both fought hard.

The situation on the field was very dull for a time.

In the 17th minute, Ping An's foreign aid Diego's seemingly ferrying header from the left side of the penalty area went straight into the Jinfan team's goal. With this accident, Ping An's team took a 1-goal lead.

After conceding the goal, the Jinfan team launched a comprehensive counterattack, and Yin Jun became the focus of the game. And Yin Jun lived up to expectations, contributing 1 shot and 1 pass in the first and second half, helping the Jinfan team reverse the score.

In the 85th minute, Yin Jun was substituted. Jinfan defended fully, hoping to maintain the victory until the end of the game. However, when the game was about to enter stoppage time, Douglas, another Brazilian foreign aid of the Ping An team, made another pass in the middle of the small penalty area.

The header once again broke the Jinfan team's goal.

In the end, the two sides battled to a score of 2:2, with 1 point each being an outcome neither side wanted, but it was also the bottom line acceptable to both sides.
Chapter completed!
