Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

They acquired winger Giuly from Monaco for eight million euros.

This 29-year-old winger is in the twilight of his prime, and his abilities have not diminished.

This season, he teamed up with Real Madrid's on-loan striker Morientes, eliminating Real Madrid all the way and reaching the Champions League final, where they narrowly lost to Porto.

If Giuly hadn't been forced off the field with an injury in the 23rd minute, the outcome of this Champions League match would have been uncertain.

Giuly and Quaresma will become Barcelona's formidable wing duo.

As for who will be on the left and who will be on the right, that will probably depend on how well they gel in the new season.

In addition, Lionel Messi, a big fan of Deng Kai, is expected to join Barcelona's first team this season and make his debut for the team.

However, in the short term, he is unlikely to dethrone superstars like Giuly and Quaresma.

At least that's what most people think.

In addition, Barcelona spent 24 million euros to bring in Real Madrid striker Samuel Eto'o from Mallorca.

Samuel Eto'o, nicknamed "The Cheetah," was once a Real Madrid player but was dismissed and harbors resentment.

Ironically, he always managed to put on a stellar performance when facing Real Madrid, and gradually rose to become a world-class striker at Mallorca, making him one of the most successful players in history to prove Real Madrid wrong.

At this stage, Real Madrid, the Galacticos, had only one mission: to defeat the entire world.

Although they are far from achieving that goal, any team should be wary of Real Madrid.

Barcelona's task is much simpler; their only goal is to defeat Real Madrid.

Eto'o and Barcelona are a match made in heaven. If Barcelona hadn't bought him, he would have come to Barcelona on his own.

Finally, Barcelona spoke with Porto about Deco before the European Championship.

They hope to acquire Deco, the core player of the Champions League-winning team, for 20 million euros.

Porto were asking for 25 million euros at the time.

Barcelona and Porto were locked in a tug-of-war for some time.

However, with news that Mourinho might leave Porto, the deal has temporarily fallen through.

Because Mourinho, one of the top three most talked-about managers this year, is highly likely to join Chelsea.

Given Chelsea owner Abramovich's spending habits, if he wanted to take Deco away, he could easily get 30 million.

The situation remained at a standstill.

As a result... while things remained deadlocked, Portugal went on to win the European Championship.

Deco, as the team's second core player, delivered four assists, ranking second in the assist charts of this European Championship, second only to Deng Kai's nine assists, which is quite impressive.

For a time, let alone Chelsea.

Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Lyon and other top clubs are all considering Deco and have frequently inquired about his offer.

Chelsea have offered a staggering €35 million to sign Deco.

Don't ask how players like Lampard, Marcelo, Deco, Robben, Duff, Joe Cole, Parker, and Oliveira should team up.

Chelsea has plenty of money.

You can't go wrong buying two main lineups, right?

If Mourinho takes over at Chelsea, Chelsea will definitely buy Drogba, Deco, and Carvalho!

A must-buy!

Barcelona dared not hesitate any longer.

Forty-two million euros were thrown right into Porto's face.

One word: Sell or not?

Porto readily agreed.

Ultimately, Barcelona spent 42 million euros to acquire Deco, who originally only cost 21 million euros.

It doubled.

Barcelona has always been adept at doing business.

The only thing that could be considered a good deal for Barcelona was their acquisition of Swedish veteran Larsson, who joined as a free agent.

At this European Championship, the performance of 33-year-old Larsson is certainly no worse than that of 23-year-old Yin Bu.

This is definitely one of Barcelona's most cost-effective signings.

So far, Barcelona has spent a lot of money.

However, they also assembled an extremely formidable midfield and forward lineup.

Five superstars: Quaresma, Eto'o, Giuly, Ronaldinho, and Deco.

In addition, there are talented young stars and veterans such as Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Larsson, Van Bronckhorst, Valdes, Motta, and Messi.

If the Barcelona team built by Kluyev in the early 1990s was a dream team...

That Barcelona team is undoubtedly the Dream Team II!

They are evenly matched with the Galactic Empire.

……

Barcelona has just finished making some big moves.

As expected, things changed for Chelsea.

Mourinho ultimately chose Chelsea over Real Madrid for his debut in one of Europe's top five leagues!

The main reason his talks with Real Madrid broke down was his desire to obtain transfer rights.

He wants to bring in a large number of players he likes to build the framework for his tactics.

But the midfield and forward positions of the Galacticos cannot be changed; each player has their own role, and they need a chef who can adapt to different players and play different styles.

If you bring in a civil engineering veteran like Mourinho who revolutionized the team, then Real Madrid shouldn't even consider commercial value.

Chelsea then made a series of moves, throwing money around like crazy!

€42 million! Drogba and Deco become the most expensive transfers this summer!

Porto's €24 million signing of Drogba from Marseille a year ago seemed crazy. But in just one year, they not only won the Champions League treble, but also made a hard-earned €18 million!

"In the last five years, the Portuguese league has become the undisputed number one money-making club, far surpassing the Dutch Eredivisie! Porto's transfer window could very well rival Sporting Lisbon's summer of two years ago!"

€35 million! Ricardo Carvalho, winner of the Champions League Best Defender and the European Championship Team of the Season, joins Chelsea!

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Mourinho: Carvalho's ability is worth 30 million, and his understanding of Duncan is worth another 30 million! So Chelsea made a profit on this deal!

Porto player Paulo Ferreira transfers to Chelsea for €22 million!

Porto acquires Benfica, propelling the entire club to new heights! Mourinho strongly advocates for the signing of Benfica midfielder Thiago Mendes! The transfer fee is €18 million!

"Take them all! After acquiring Robben for €18 million, Chelsea spent another €8 million to bring in Robben's teammate Kezman, making their attacking depth seemingly bottomless!"

flower!

Chelsea's main theme for the last few summers has always been how to spend money!

Of course, Mourinho has long coveted Petr Cech, the newly crowned best goalkeeper in the Premier League, UEFA Cup, and European Championship.

Although Mourinho deeply resented Cech's tendency to attack.

But Cech's basic save skills are still very impressive.

Mourinho has prompted Chelsea to make an offer for Cech.

If he can acquire Cech, he will transform him into a super goalkeeper with unparalleled goalkeeping skills who never ventures out of the penalty area!

Deng Kai: Damn it! Dao Nan, give me the knife! I spent over forty games building wings for Cech, and you want to take them off?!

Schmeichel: Damn it! Do you know how much effort it took me to change Schmeichel and your ideal image into what it is now?

Chelsea offered 25 million euros for Cech!

To be fair... it's not high.

But considering the goalkeeper position, and his young age, if we don't compare him to Buffon in previous years, this price is actually quite reasonable.

After all, the more a coach emphasizes defense, the less he sometimes values ​​defensive players.

Because any player's defensive ability would be boosted by him, making him less valuable.

Deng Kai was inexplicably agitated by this, publicly responding on social media: "25 million euros? Abramovich, you're out of money so quickly?"

"A player like Cech shouldn't bother me again unless he's worth at least 50 million euros!"

Mourinho immediately jumped in to defend his boss's dignity: "Fifty million? Sorry, in today's world football, no goalkeeper is worth fifty million, including Buffon!"

Deng Kai wasn't going to tolerate Mourinho's behavior and continued posting: "Don't even mention 50 million; for teams like Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid, Cech's value should even be 80 million!"

"Before you realized Cech's value, Manchester City was the most suffocating team on the planet!"

Deng Kai has already said that.

What right did the others have to argue back?

After all, Manchester City was the blue wave of this phase.

Mourinho turned off his microphone.

He looks forward to the clash between Chelsea and Manchester City in the new season!

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
