Chapter 441: Juventus's Super Pogba, Barcelona's sky-high investment to strengthen defense

This time even Pirlo fell to his knees.

He did not blame Morata, but... Juventus' morale was completely lost.

If this ball goes in, there is still a chance.

If this ball didn't go in, the game would really be over.

Young Pogba's eyes turned red and he felt the pain of failure for the first time.

This was a complex emotion he had never experienced in Vera.

In the end, he couldn't hold it back and burst into tears prematurely.

The game is not over yet.

The crying Pogba made Juventus fans feel distressed. At this moment, they seemed to see the melancholy back of Roberto Baggio twenty-one years ago.

Two minutes later.

The referee blew the whistle three times.

Villa staff rushed onto the pitch and started celebrating.

"Congratulations to Villa, they are once again at the top of Europe!"

"For four consecutive years, Villa has won the Champions League trophy. They are the undisputed champions of the Champions League!"

"Congratulations to He Tianqi for winning his 64th championship trophy in his career! He also raised his total number of Champions League titles to nine! Ranked second in history! Second only to Real Madrid!"

"That's right, only Real Madrid has three more Champions League titles than He Tianqi, and these three titles were won by He Tianqi when he led Real Madrid from 2006 to 2009!"

"In a sense, He Tianqi is already the team with the most Champions League titles in the world!"

"We can see that no matter how many times they win the trophy, Villa's players are still very excited. Especially Salah, Sterling and others. This is their first year to win this supreme honor as a main player."

"He Tianqi is greeting Toni, Pirlo, Chiellini, Barzagli, Buffon and other players. They are all old friends."

"He Tianqi especially took care of Pogba and talked to him a lot. He also went to comfort Juventus coach Allegri."

"Compared to last year's eight titles, Villa's performance this year seems much more ordinary, but please note that this ordinary is in quotation marks."

"Because even though many of their main players left the team for huge sums of money, they still won five championships this season, including the Community Shield, European Super Cup, Club World Cup, Premier League and Champions League!"

"When the five-time champions are considered by fans to be on the decline, you can see how brilliant Villa is now!"

Soon, the podium was set up.

This year's Champions League scoring list is relatively quiet.

Just like in the Premier League, the main reason is that Villa's scoring distribution is more even, and there is no super golden boot.

So this year's Golden Boot was won by Ronaldo, who scored ten goals.

Following closely behind is Shakhtar player Luiz Adriano, who scored nine goals.

It is rumored that a Chinese Super League team hopes to sign him.

In fact, this summer Adriano will first transfer to AC Milan for 8 million euros, and then go to the Chinese Super League Jiangsu Suning Football Club half a year later.

After arriving in Nanjing, Adriano said he was very happy to be here and looked forward to playing in the Suning jersey.

But half a day later, he left China after having undergone a physical examination by Suning.

It is reported that it is very likely that Suning did not fulfill the previously promised annual salary of 8 million euros.

Of course, there are also claims that Suning offered Adriano a salary of 6.5 million euros, which was already very high. However, Adriano raised the price at the last minute, asking for a higher annual salary of 8 million euros, and Suning called off the transfer.

In any case, it is not a bad thing for the Chinese Super League that the deal was not reached, because Adriano's condition subsequently declined at a rapid rate and was not worth the super high annual salary.

Tevez and Lukaku are third in the Champions League scorer list with eight goals.

Salah and Jackson Martinez scored seven goals.

Dong Fangzhuo, Bale, Aguero, Cavani and Muller scored six goals.

Messi, Neymar, Sterling, Toni, Huntelaar and Mandzukic scored five goals.

Mane, Lewandowski, Suarez and Immobile scored four goals.

De Bruyne, Ribery, Hazard and Boateng scored three goals.

In the assist list, Modric was crowned the assist king with six assists.

De Bruyne and Messi had five assists.

The final Champions League best player award was won by De Bruyne, Pogba, Modric, Boateng, Messi, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo.

In the end, De Bruyne won the award by one vote over Pogba.

Boateng came in third.

Modric ranked last due to vote split among his teammates.

But looking at Villa's internal "real contribution value" and other advanced data, Modric's overall evaluation this year is second only to De Bruyne.

And if all defensive data are taken into account, he even surpasses De Bruyne.

Of course, no team will release such core data at will.

Algorithm is one of the core competitive advantages.

When everyone was still relying on scouts’ naked eyes and reports to judge players’ abilities.

Using the database of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer to select players is already a step ahead.

When many people only look at goal and assist data, some teams secretly master data such as the second-to-last pass, offense-defense transition, etc.

With the development of technology, data is becoming more and more abundant, but which data is useful and which data needs to be calculated to reflect the player's ability have become the key.

Thus, the 2014-2015 season came to an end.

The summer transfer window has begun with a bang!
The reason why it is called a grand deal is that Juventus had almost no hesitation and completed a super deal with Villa less than a week after the Champions League final.

Shocked the world!

Turin Sports Daily: "Zidane + Drogba + Vieira = how much? The answer is 150 million!"

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Super Pogba! Juventus officially introduces the real core for 150 million euros!"

Sky Sports: "Pogba's transfer fee set a new record, ranking second in transfer history, second only to former teammate Bale's 1.8 billion euros!"

"BBC": "He Tianqi said Pogba is worth any price. He has no template in the football world. He has all the conditions for a perfect midfielder!"

Bild: "Juventus all in! The Champions League final makes them crazy! But Pogba is definitely worth it!"

"Corriere dello Sport": "Thanks to He Tianqi for his kindness! After a successful season, Juventus executives took the initiative to renew the contract with veteran Luca Toni for another year!"

Kicker: "Congratulations to Luca Toni! The Italian legend said he will play his last season at Juventus and will officially retire next May! I hope he has the best ending!"

Of course, there was actually a small episode before Tony's contract renewal.

That is, Juventus was originally planning to sign Palermo's talented striker Dybala.

The bid even reached 40 million euros.

In the absence of abnormal-level deals like Pogba, 400 to 500 million euros are among the top prices in this year's transfer market.

But Zidane decisively refused and successfully persuaded Dybala to stay.

In the new season, they still qualify for the Champions League.

Is the Palermo miracle not better than the Juventus miracle? It has to be said that the word miracle has deceived many young people and made them waste their time.

Zidane is very bad.

Juventus then introduced a left-back from Porto for 26 million euros to strengthen the lineup and aim for the Champions League!
Then he chose to keep Morata between Morata and Llorente and reached a termination agreement with Llorente, who then joined La Liga powerhouse Sevilla for free.

In addition, Juventus striker Tevez also retired and returned to his hometown team Boca Juniors for 5 million euros.

Another part of the deal was that Juventus received the loan and priority purchase rights of four young players.

Juventus first loaned Wadala.

But the player did not succeed in staying with the team in the future.

The other three players are Franco Cristaldo, who will play for the Spanish Second Division team in the future.

Christian Pavon once became the pillar of French Ligue 1 giants Marseille.

However, neither of them was loaned by Juventus.

There was only one player that Juventus actually bought, and that was Rodrigo Bentancur, a future member of the Uruguayan dream midfield.

Unfortunately, Juventus did not play this card well and eventually sold him to Tottenham at a low price.

Juventus' series of transactions this summer undoubtedly show their desire for the Champions League.

If the “newcomer in the finals” is so ambitious, how can the other veterans just sit back and watch?
At the strong request of Messi and other players as well as fans, Barcelona strengthened its defense.

Their primary target is the German central defender, Jerome Boateng, who has shined in the World Cup and the past two seasons!

The first thing they asked for was 70 million euros.

But Villa's response to them was that a central defender like Boateng could help the team much more than Neymar and Suarez!

At the same time, Villa provided Barcelona with data comparisons between Boateng and Pique, the latter of whom is Barcelona's main central defender and is very famous.

No better than not knowing, one is scared.

Boateng is better than Pique in all aspects and is a Ramos.

If a team offers 70 million euros to buy Pique, will Barcelona buy him?

At the very least, Barcelona will be hesitant and will not make the deal quickly, because Pique may indeed be worth that much, especially when he is in Barcelona.

But considering the unfriendly past between the two teams, Barcelona did not dare to make an offer casually.

Villa may have seen through Barcelona's thoughts, so they said, "We can't afford the expensive ones, but we have cheap defenders for 70 million."

Then Trippier was recommended.

You really don’t want to say that.

Barcelona is moved!
Because their main right-back Alves is already 34 years old and can hardly play anymore, the team is looking to replace him.

Trippier fully meets Barcelona's requirements. His technical abilities are no worse than Alves'. His crosses and free kicks are even slightly better than Villa's.

I originally just wanted to replace the original, but suddenly I found a chance to buy an upgraded version.

Barcelona immediately pushed for the deal.

They have only one year left on their contract with Alves and originally planned to let Alves leave the team for free next year, but now, they can sell Alves.

Barcelona found Juventus who were very interested in Alves.

The two sides hit it off.

Juventus signed Alves for a low price of 9 million euros.

Although Alves is a bit older, Juventus dares to sign Toni, who is almost 38 years old, so what is Alves, who is 34 years old?
No matter what, I can play for two seasons, right?

Within two seasons, Juventus is confident that they will win the Champions League!

This is a huge gamble for the Italians.

After the Alves trade, Barcelona bought Trippier for 70 million euros.

Mundo Deportivo just published the news: "Villa has set a price of 70 million euros for Trippier. Do they really think the whole world is as stupid as Real Madrid and Juventus?"

Daily Sports immediately updated the news: "The 70 million Euro 8 champion has arrived at Barcelona! Trippier will definitely help Messi return to the top of the Ballon d'Or!"

Just ask you if you are crazy.

Just when I was about to bargain, my friend swiped his card directly.

The boomerang was blown back before it even flew out.

Barcelona fans generally approve of the deal.

After all, Trippier was one of those players who went to Villa very early. He has won numerous honors and has won three or four Champions League titles.

Due to He Tianqi's rotation system, Trippier and Walker's game numbers are basically 4:6, and the gap is not that big.

Is Walker worth 80 million euros?
The world's number one right back, absolutely worth it.

If Oil Daddy gets involved, 90 million euros is not impossible.

So it seems that there is no problem with Trippier's 70 million euros.

Trippier, an important rotation full-back, is worth 70 million euros. How much do you think Boateng, Villa's defensive core, the team's best central defender and one of the world's best central defenders, is worth?

Anyway, it must be more valuable than Walker, right?

That’s nine figures.

About 100 million euros!

After calculating this wave of Villa inequalities, Barcelona itself knows how to make an offer.

The Times: "Another 100 million euro man emerges in European football! Manchester City offers 100 million euros for super center back Boateng!"

Blue Moon took the initiative.

Barcelona is heartbroken.

The reason they made their offer a little late was because they were raising money.

They just sold Turan, a versatile substitute who performed well in the team, to Atletico Madrid for 41 million euros.

But Manchester City doesn't use these steps at all. They just transfer the advertising fees into Manchester City's account.

Why should Barcelona compete with others?
Barcelona president Bartomeu immediately contacted He Tianqi privately to discuss Boateng's transfer.

Last year, Barcelona president Rosell was forced to resign early due to the many scandals caused by Neymar's transfer.

Bartomeu took over temporarily and was officially promoted a few days ago.

The reason is the strong support from the players.

Because he promised to strengthen the team, bring in the best defenders, and help the team compete with Villa for the Champions League.

They haven't made it to the finals in several years.

He Tianqi is also more inclined to sell Boateng to Barcelona because the system prompts that Boateng is at risk of serious injury in the near future.

It's a good deal as you can make a lot of money and save a serious injury exemption card.

So the next day, Barcelona’s official website announced that it had sold the youth team’s talented player Adama Traore to Aston Villa for a low price of 7 million euros.

The biggest feature of this player is that he is extremely fast, strong and has the bloodline of a devil muscle man.
