We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 228: The Nineteenth Crown, the European Arms Race

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Maybe it was the excitement of the championship, or maybe it was the imminent departure of two superstars, but Real Madrid's team spirit was burning brightly, and their passing and control skills were perfected.

Sevilla's early pressing was resolved by Real Madrid's transmission, and the rhythm of the game soon fell into Real Madrid's hands.

In the twelfth minute, Carlos made a run-in and made a cross after receiving a through ball from Ronaldo.

Opposing him is Alves, the super right-back who has emerged in La Liga this year.

Alves kicked the cross and the ball bounced into the penalty area.

Modric shot the ball from the left side outside the penalty area, hitting a stunning world wave and scoring.

Real Madrid leads one to zero!

In the 37th minute, Cannavaro made a long pass to Beckham on the right side near the sideline.

Beckham stopped the ball, dribbled the ball and made a cross.

The whole person tilted suddenly, and the crescent-shaped scimitar reappeared.

Raul pulled the ball forward, Ronaldo jumped high in the penalty area, and with a lion's header, broke through the Sevilla goal.

Two to zero!
C Ronaldo took the initiative to find Beckham to celebrate.

Under Modric's "instigation", Ronaldo knelt down on one knee embarrassedly and wiped Beckham's boots to celebrate.

Ronaldo rarely performs such low-post celebrations in his career.

But there was no way, Modric carried him there, the atmosphere was just right, and if he didn't celebrate, he wouldn't be a Manchester United player!

Manchester United: ? ? ?
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 68th minute, Alves successfully blew away Emerson, sent a cross, and assisted his teammates to score a goal.

One to two.

After all, Emerson is not a full-time full-back, so there are always some shortcomings.

What's more, Alves has had a big breakout this year and played like the strongest right-back in La Liga.

Ramos' performance this year is far less dazzling than his.

In the 72nd minute, Ronaldo dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, caused the opponent to foul, and got a long-distance free kick in a relatively central position.

Beckham and Roberto Carlos both stand behind the football.

In the end, Beckham made a feint and Carlos fired a powerful free kick into the goal!

Although it did not hit the incredible S-shaped arc, the football went straight into the net.

Three to one!

The scene boiled instantly.

Carlos himself didn't expect the ball to go in.

He raised his hands high to express his gratitude to all the fans who supported him.

He Tianqi took advantage of the situation to make a substitution, then pointed at Carlos, raised his hands above his head and began to applaud.

The fans at the scene applauded.

This is Carlos's unique moment of glory.

He accepted the cheers of all the fans, including Sevilla fans.

Young player Marcelo came on the field and high-fived Carlos.

At this moment, the legend ends.

Carlos returned to his seat, his eyes red.

Similarly, at this moment, the legend appeared and Marcelo officially took over Carlos's mantle in Real Madrid.

In the 76th minute, He Tianqi replaced Vieira with Guti, determined not to overuse the veteran.

But he still has a substitution quota in his hand.

The camera was given to Beckham again and again, because this was obviously left for Beckham.

The reason why Beckham was not replaced for a long time was probably because they were waiting for him to make another contribution, such as an assist.

However, the script is far more perfect than everyone imagined.

In the 81st minute, Guti made a fake pass, advanced through the middle, and was brought down outside the top of the penalty area.

When the referee whistled for a foul, Guti jumped up from the ground immediately and rushed towards Beckham with the other players.

The opportunity is coming!

Sevilla formed a human wall.

Beckham stood behind the ball and took a deep breath.

The significance of this goal is far less than the one that changed the fate of the England team.

Not even in the top ten in his career.

But his emotions were more excited than ever before.

He suppressed his emotions, ran up, swung his legs, and shot...

A super arc passed over the human wall.

The Berlusconi curve blooms for the last time at the Bernabeu!
Swish!
The football went straight into the corner and there was no way to catch it!

"GOAL!"

"The goal was scored by David..."

"Beckham!"

The whole crowd chanted.

At this moment, everyone dreamed back to the year when Beckham just joined Real Madrid.

Similarly, at this moment, the former galactic battleship officially came to an end!

He Tianqi replaced Beckham with Robinho.

The audience burst into applause again.

Beckham burst into tears on the spot.

He nodded again and again, feeling extremely satisfied with his Real Madrid career.

With a coach like this, what more could you ask for!

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-1 and became the champion of this season's Spanish King's Cup!

Real Madrid players held the trophy, took photos one by one, and celebrated wildly.

It made up for the emptiness after they won the La Liga title.

……

"Marca": "Triple crown winner, I am the craziest! Only He Huang has reached the pinnacle of his debut!"

AS: "Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey! Real Madrid wins the treble for the first time in history!"

Kicker: "Another player has won the treble in the five major leagues. He Tianqi has become the first head coach in history to lead different teams to win the treble!"

Sky Sports: "The 2006-2007 season ended perfectly! The era of the Silver He battleship has begun, and world football has entered the second era of Emperor He's rule!"

"France Football": "Real Madrid won the treble, showing its dominance! He Tianqi treated the King's Cup final as a veteran's farewell match, showing his humanity!"

Mundo Deportivo: "He Tianqi's attitude towards the King's Cup has angered fans. This is disrespectful to Spanish football events!"

Gazzetta dello Sport: "After conquering Serie A, He Tianqi conquered La Liga again. AC Milan deserved the loss!"

The Sun: "He Tianqi has won his 19th title as a coach. We will select 19 of the most popular Page 3 girls to shoot the cover with He Tianqi!"

That night, Europe exploded.

Modric, the recorder of God, wrote a new poem in the Bible: "From then on, the glory of God spread all over the earth, and European football entered a dark period!"

"When a god appears, all the stars will be destroyed!"

"The divine power of the emperor controls the three realms!"

Considering that there are no international competitions this year, Real Madrid's achievements have basically booked many awards at the end of the year.

Especially He Tianqi, he has already secured the title of "Best Head Coach of the Year for the fourth consecutive time"!
The curtain of this summer's transfer window has slowly opened against this backdrop.

The first are the two well-known transactions of Real Madrid.

Beckham and Roberto Carlos' contracts with Real Madrid have expired and neither side will renew them.

Beckham joins Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy for free.

Americans are beginning to enter the soccer world, but they first want to build a local soccer market. Only after failing will they form a team to enter the European soccer world to reap the rewards.

The reason they are trying the unlikely success of the American Major League is that they are not in a hurry.

The pile of European money is just there, and Americans can go and take it at any time, and no one dares to snatch it away.

But this time, someone really dared!

Carlos joined Turkish Super League giants Fenerbahce for free, choosing a more traditional way of making money.

This is also the standard action for many stars to end their careers.

This also marked the beginning of the wave of departures from Real Madrid.

The loan swap between Real Madrid and Arsenal for Reyes and Baptista expired, and both parties tacitly chose not to renew the loan.

Reyes returns to Arsenal.

He became the first player that He Tianqi failed to transform.

His playing style and technical characteristics determine that he is not just a striker.

He must assume some of the functions of the frontcourt offensive core. If not a big core, then at least a small core.

Such a player, if he is in poor condition when faced with fierce pressing and fouls, is simply his Achilles' heel.

It doesn't matter for ordinary teams.

Championship-contending teams must not keep these types of players.

Because as the core, their performance and status in the team are obvious to all. If they don't play him at the critical moment, the locker room and the fans will backfire.

The best way is to be open-minded and live in peace.

There is no way Reyes can compete for any championship after Asina, so it is actually good for him to stay there.

Wenger: Oh my god!

Baptista was kept by He Tianqi, who specifically found him and talked to him about career planning.

Although Roma also hopes to introduce this all-round player who started as a defensive midfielder, became popular as an offensive midfielder, and failed as a genuine center forward.

But He Tianqi said directly: "I know Serie A, Roma, and Totti. Your position and playing style conflict with Totti, and Roma cannot have any player who conflicts with Totti."

"If you go there, you will be the next Cassano or Ibrahimovic."

"Your career peak period is not long. You should strive for honors as much as possible during this period, so as to prolong your career and increase your retirement value."

Baptista was convinced.

The main reason is that this Real Madrid team is too suffocating for its opponents. Even without any major moves in the transfer market, it has already topped the list of many media outlets' predictions for winning various competitions next season.

Despite being positioned as a major rotation player, Baptista is willing to give it a try.

He is very competitive in both center and midfield positions.

Especially Real Madrid's main center position is still undecided.

Raul may be able to start, but he is not Real Madrid's official center forward, and his style is increasingly leaning towards a number nine and a half.

Real Madrid's center forward is Negredo, and Negredo has made some noise this summer.

The first is the issue of contract renewal.

His contract with Real Madrid will expire next year, and this is the last year.

Taking into account the excellent performance this season, Real Madrid took the initiative to propose a contract extension.

Negredo asked for an extremely high salary of 5 million euros. His agent said that his tactical significance to Real Madrid is irreplaceable and he was one of the absolute main players of Real Madrid last season.

His previous salary was only one million euros.

Real Madrid's current maximum salary is 7 million euros.

But most non-superstar players only earn around 3 million euros.

Real Madrid gave him 3.5 million euros.

Not low anymore.

After all, he is a member of the team's youth training team, so he has some invisible benefits. Moreover, Negredo's status in the team is very low. If he is given 5 million euros, then Real Madrid basically gives 5 million euros per person.

Who can bear this?
So will the maximum salary continue to rise?

Ronaldo's salary last season was 4.5 million euros, and this season he may get a maximum salary, but what is Ronaldo's role? What are his statistics?
What is Negredo used for? What are the data?
For a time, the negotiations reached a deadlock.

After several negotiations, Negredo was willing to accept a "pay cut" and asked for a salary of 4 million euros.

But there is another requirement, which is to ensure playing time.

With Raul's recovery and He Tianqi's attempt at a double-forward lineup at the end of the season, and Calderon's statement that he would continue to make strong signings, Negredo is worried that his chances will be sharply reduced next season.

You need both money and a future, and you need both power and independence.

The money issue is actually easy to deal with, as Real Madrid will be responsible for it.

But the time of appearance involves He Tianqi's authority.

The staff responsible for contract renewal reported the situation to He Tianqi.

He Tianqi put Negredo on the shelf without saying a word.

In the end, Sevilla paid 15 million euros for this "Real Madrid main striker".

They believe the striker is similar to Morientes, but younger and has great potential.

Little do people know that some center forwards need to make sacrifices when partnering with Ronaldo and Modric.

Because their technical characteristics determine that they only need a teammate with a score of around 80. It's useless if you have a higher score. Even if you are a Tyrannosaurus Rex, you have to follow him.

Some centers, on the contrary, benefit because these two can make any teammate who partners with them perform at 80 points.

It doesn't matter if it's garbage, as long as the fulcrum characteristics are outstanding.

Negredo clearly belongs to the latter.

Even after the deal was done, Negredo still couldn't believe that Real Madrid had sold him.

How dare He Tianqi?
What about his tactics?
Affected by Negredo's transfer, Soldado, who had originally estimated that he would be sold, successfully stayed in the team.

He didn't contribute much last season, but he received a lot of bonuses, and he also got a salary increase with this contract renewal.

If he stays in Real Madrid and wins some championship titles, he will be a main player in other teams in the future. It will be much better than being forced to leave now.

In terms of the starting lineup, He Tianqi also took the initiative to find Emerson.

The Brazilian captain originally wanted to leave Real Madrid because he wanted to play as a starter, but last season he was basically just an important rotation player.

But now Beckham is gone.

He Tianqi said that the reserved position belongs to you.

Emerson is naturally happy to stay.

But He Tianqi also reminded him that what Real Madrid needs from him is an all-around midfielder. They can give him the opportunity to participate in the attack, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be the core of the midfield.

The ball possession must be clearly divided.

Emerson thought about it for a while and agreed to He Tianqi's request.

……

So far, there has been little movement on Real Madrid's side.

Many clubs are ready to wait for the right price, eyeing the 100 million that Calderon gave to He Tianqi.

Although it was not his own money, He Tianqi was unwilling to be ripped off.

And what he wanted to buy was not the ordinary goods in these people's hands!

At the same time, in order to fight against the "Silver He battleship", major European giants are competing for talents and launching an arms race.

Liverpool was the most generous, spending 38 million euros to sign Atletico Madrid captain Torres.

The Christ Child has arrived at Anfield.

In addition, they also signed Ajax star Babel for 17 million euros.

Manchester United made three consecutive moves, spending 25 million euros each to sign Bayern's Hargreaves, Sporting Lisbon's "Little Ronaldo" Nani, and Porto's European golden boy Anderson.

Tottenham Hotspur signed Darren Bent for €24.5 million.

Atletico Madrid sold Torres for the highest price ever paid and then spent 21 million euros to sign Diego Forlan, the winner of this season's La Liga Silver Boot.

The Golden Boot was won by Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored 45 goals in all competitions this season and won the European Golden Boot, La Liga Golden Boot and Champions League Golden Boot!
In addition to Fran, Atletico Madrid also signed Simao for 20 million euros, which is also brought about by the Ronaldo effect.

After all, Simao is the first-generation successor to Figo, Quaresma is the second-generation, and Ronaldo is the third-generation.

Ronaldo has performed well, and Transfermarkt's price has soared to 60 million euros, but there is no demand for him.

No matter what Ximang is like, 30 million is definitely worth it.

If Simao didn't want to return to La Liga to prove himself, how could Atletico Madrid get him at a price below the market price?
In addition, Atletico Madrid also completed a deal with Arsenal to sign Reyes for 12 million euros.

Wenger is well aware of the value of the product returned by He Tianqi.

How can Tianqi teach those who he cannot teach? How can Tianqi use those who he cannot use?

How could Wenger dare to use someone that even He Tianqi didn't dare to use?

Fortunately, a big fool took over and Wenger happily completed the deal.

Reyes was also happy to stay in Spain since he had no interest in the barbaric Premier League anyway.

Valencia was originally preparing to impact La Liga and the Champions League, but was plagued by injuries, with Vincent and Joaquin getting injured in turn.

So they made further reinforcements, signing Zigic and Fernandez for 15 million euros each.

And this window, the most shocking deal belongs to Barcelona!
The price is not high.

But very shocking!
The King of Highbury, the King of Gunners, the French sharpshooter, and the eternal runner-up Henry joined Barcelona with a transfer fee of 24 million euros!
At the same time, Barcelona also introduced Milito, who performed well, for 20 million euros.

Henry, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Arteta, Deco, Motta, Milito... plus the gradually trained Xavi, Messi, Iniesta... this midfield and frontcourt lineup is so gorgeous that it cannot be surpassed!

On paper, their strength completely surpasses that of Real Madrid.

It seems that the failure to win any of the four major titles last season was a big blow to them.

Ronaldinho's personal reputation also suffered a setback.

It can't even make it into the top ten on any list.

If Barcelona doesn’t overthrow the huge mountain of Real Madrid, there will never be a tomorrow for it!

This time, they are going to compete with Real Madrid again!

From this transfer window, we can actually see that the football economy has not yet recovered.

It is in a relatively stable trough period.

The highest bidder didn’t even have 40 million euros.

There are only a few transactions worth more than 20 million euros.

In fact, last year's transfer window would have been at a similar level to this year's if there were no Palermo players.

From 2002 to now, including next year, the market ceiling is million Euros.

But with the addition of Palermo players, everything is different.

Palermo first sold Riquelme to the Argentine giants Boca Juniors for 15 million euros.

In half a season, he made a huge profit of 7 million euros, which is quite like He Tianqi.

But in fact, Guardiola doesn't want to make this money.

He really hopes that Riquelme can lead Palermo to rise and compete with Inter Milan for the championship.

The result...was not very good.

Since then, Guardiola has disenchanted himself with football stars.

Sure enough, the best way to disenchant is to possess.

Classical masters are really not good!
But Boca Juniors is not at a loss either.

In terms of competitive form, Riquelme is still excellent, at least at the 30 million euro level.

If he wants to return to Europe in the next two years, he can easily recover his costs.

If you want to stay in Argentina, that's even better. Boca Juniors has greatly increased in strength, and Riquelme has a great influence in Argentina, so you can also make money from commercial value.

This deal is a win-win.

Then Guardiola bought Dong Fangzhuo, whose reputation had collapsed, from Manchester United for 2 million euros.

Since the Champions League, Dong Fangzhuo has become Manchester United's biggest scapegoat and has been criticized by fans to the point of becoming autistic.

He played less than ten games for Manchester United in half a season and scored only one goal, but he was also the "key factor" in Manchester United's defeat in the Champions League.

This is the consequence of not having the media to speak for him.

Out of consideration for team unity, Ferguson did not help Dong Fangzhuo explain anything.

Because once the explanation is given, it will offend some key players in the team and make them responsible for the loss of this season.

This way the team is likely to break up.

Ferguson has invested so much and still wants to continue competing with Real Madrid next year and the year after.

So I have to let Xiao Dong down for the time being.

His original intention was to loan Dong Fangzhuo out to avoid the public opinion attacks in England and allow Xiao Dong to have games to play and continue to level up.

As soon as Palermo made a move, Ferguson immediately knew he could not keep him.

Palermo these days is simply a golden signboard for young players.

Ferguson initially did not intend to let him go.

Dong Fangzhuo's arrival was due to considerations of the Chinese market, not entirely competitive factors.

But with Dong Fangzhuo's performance in the Champions League against Real Madrid, Ferguson believed that he had potential and planned to train him.

It’s just that the atmosphere of English football is so bad. What the head coach thinks is okay, the fans think is rubbish. Ferguson is no longer at the age to debate with the fans.

However, He Tianqi called and came for Xiao Dong.

In the end, Ferguson gave He Tianqi face and let Palermo take Dong Fangzhuo away.

Ferguson felt a little sad about this deal.

In his mind, Dong Fangzhuo could at least reach the level of more than 10 million euros in the future. And if Dong Fangzhuo works hard, it is not impossible for him to perform like a superstar worth 30 million euros. He has such talent.

After all, it would be better if Dong Fangzhuo was English, then Ferguson would have less pressure to keep him.

Apart from that, even a Scotsman like Ferguson is not very effective.

However, no one actually paid attention to this transaction except Chinese fans.

But one day later, Torres's bid winning certification was snatched away!
Palermo striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has moved to Real Madrid.

Transfer fee: 40 million euros!

European media exploded instantly!

Say anything.

Those who approve of this deal mainly consider He Tianqi's technical and tactical aspects.

Real Madrid's only weakness last season was that the center forward was a little lacking and there were not enough high-quality substitutes for the wingers.

Negredo was unable to perfectly implement He Tianqi's tactical requirements, so the team was split into Negredo + Raul.

But with the arrival of Ibrahimovic, Raul was freed up and could form a better rotation with Robinho.

There is no need to use midfielders like Sneijder and Guti to play as wingers, which would distort the team's lineup.

Moreover, Ibrahimovic's height is very consistent with He Tianqi's idea of ​​a center forward.

The key is that Ibrahimovic has strong footwork and has adapted to the He style of tactics in Palermo this season, so he can integrate seamlessly into Real Madrid.

How terrifying is this?
Some fans believe that in the hands of He Tianqi, Ibrahimovic is likely to transform into a super center who surpasses Tony!

40 million Euros may seem expensive, but maybe in two years it will be 80 million Euros!

Big investment, high returns!
Those who do not approve of the deal believe that He Tianqi enriched himself.

There is a transfer of interests with Palermo.

Palermo took Ibrahimovic from Roma last year for only 7 million euros!

It swelled to 40 million euros in just one year?

Why?
And it’s better to buy Mido than Ibrahimovic!

Mido won the Serie A championship with Inter Milan this season. If it weren't for Adriano's decline and his early encounter with Real Madrid, the Nerazzurri might have had a chance to win the Champions League.

No matter how you look at it, Mido is better than Ibrahimovic.

No one expected that the "Mibu dispute" would have a sequel!
