Chapter 344 The Lively Summer of 2016

The summer of 2016 was really a lively summer.

After the European competition, the football fever continued.

Because the European Cup is coming.

Compared with club competitions, the attention of national team competitions is significantly higher.

On the one hand, because the national team's competition cycle is longer, it is held every four years, unlike the Champions League that happens every year.

On the other hand, many fans also expect their favorite stars to make a breakthrough in the national team competition.

For example, Ronaldo and Griezmann.

In this European Cup held in France, the most concerned one is naturally the French team, not one of them.

The strong lineup of the French team made them the biggest favorites.

Portugal, England, Germany and other teams are also enough to attract attention.

For Leicester City, their players are about to appear in the European Cup.

Kanter in the French team and Vardy in the England team have made countless Leicester City fans look forward to it.

But unfortunately, the two have almost no chance to play.

On the England side, although Vardy has performed well in the last two seasons, he still hasn't gotten much favor from Hodgson.

Just an occasional substitute in the second half of the game, that's all.

The biggest problem in England this time also appeared on the front line.

The weak front made England barely qualify for the group stage, but fell directly to the quarter-finals.

They were upset by Iceland 2-1. After the game, what people remember most is the Viking war song, and they have no impression of England's performance.

After this game, Rooney and other veterans bid farewell to the stage of history, and the once golden generation of England came to an end.

Also as the golden generation, Spain also left early.

They were defeated by Italy 2-0. The pass-and-control football they depend on for survival has no penetrating power at all. The golden generation of Spain also bid farewell to the stage of history.

However, the Italian team that defeated them did not go far. In the quarter-finals, they once again lost to Germany in a penalty shootout and missed the semi-finals.

And Germany failed to enter the final as they wished. They were defeated by the French team 2-0 in the semi-finals. Whether it was the genius Gotze, Muller, Toni Kroos, or the veterans Schweinsteiger and Boateng, there was no match. Can show dominance, but finally reluctantly say goodbye.

Finally reached the final, is the host team France and Portugal.

Speaking of Portugal's promotion, it is really stumbling.

The score was equalized at the last moment of the group stage, and they advanced to the third place in the group by virtue of their points advantage.

The following games were also played very hard, and they tried their best to reach the final.

In the final, Ronaldo was replaced due to injury in the 25th minute of the game, which made the Portuguese fall into despair.

But at this moment, all Portuguese players did not give up, they fought to the last moment.

In the overtime period, Ed, who came off the bench, made a burst shot, and the ball blasted away the goal guarded by Lori!

1 is better than 0!

Portugal broke the deadlock!

In the end, they won the victory with this incomparably precious goal!
Became the European Cup Champion!

On the awards stage, Ronaldo widened his eyes excitedly and held up the trophy vigorously.

This scene moved countless fans.

Xia Xing, who was watching the game, couldn't stop applauding.

He suddenly recalled that after the Champions League final a month ago, he once wished Ronaldo the European Cup.

I didn't expect the blessing to come true, which is great.

On the other side, the French were dejected.

They were expecting the team to win the Euros on home soil, but they were just one step away.

Griezmann, who has always been known as being able to challenge Melo's position, is still one step away from super giant.

And Kanter, who sat on the bench for the entire game, was also alone in silence.

Xia Xing shook his head slightly.

Winning or losing is decided by God, this is football, this is life.

After this game, the European Cup also came to an end.

However, the lively summer of 2016 is not over yet.

Because with the end of the game, the European football transfer curtain officially opened.

Many European giants have spent a lot of money and implemented a large-scale signing plan.

Barcelona exchanged blood for 1.2 million euros and bought 6 talents.

Andre Gomez, Umtiti, Diagne, Cillessen, Denis Suarez, Paco.

Six talented players joined in, allowing Barcelona to strengthen every position.

At the same time, they also cleaned up Bravo, Bartra, Alexander Song, Tello, Alves and other players, freeing up salary space for the team.

In the new season, Barcelona is still one of the most competitive teams in Europe.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's lineup adjustment is more conservative.Although Zidane failed to win a championship in his first season, he still gained the trust of the club.After signing the new contract, he just bought Morata back from Juventus and spent 3000 million euros.

The rest of the time, they were cleaning up.Jesse, Cheryshev, Llorente, Arveiroa and other players left the team one after another, and Real Madrid went into battle lightly.

However, Ronaldo, who has been clamoring for a transfer, has not left. It seems that both the club and him hope to fight again.

Atletico Madrid did not sit idle during the transfer period. They spent 8000 million and introduced Gameiro, Gaitan and Vrsaljko. They are still strong contenders for the league title and the Champions League title in the new season.

In Serie A, Juventus has once again become the hottest team in the transfer market.

They lost Pogba, but instead of depositing the 9000 million transfer fee received in the bank, they turned around and introduced Higuain for [-] million euros.This transfer not only enhanced the strength of the team, but also weakened the strength of the rival Naples, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, the joining of Pjanic, Pjaca, Lemina, Cuadrado and other players also gives Juventus more capital to hit the Champions League in the new season. This is what they want most .

Compared with Juventus's extravagant spending, Inter Milan also directly spent 1.1 million euros in signings.

Joao Mario, Candreva, Dodo, Ansaldi, Brozovic, Caprari, Biraghi, Laxarte, and Barbossa have joined in, and the reinforcements in each position are very strong. Balanced, they are ready to go in the new season, looking forward to returning to the era of big Inter Milan.

In addition to the two most expensive teams, AC Milan, Roma, Naples and other teams have also made substantial reinforcements.

The new season of Serie A should look good.

In the Bundesliga, it is still the duo of Bayern and Dortmund.

Bayern's signings this summer are not large, but they are very targeted.

Hummels and Sanchez were bought for 7000 million euros, and these two signings are very targeted.

And Dortmund, after selling their leading stars Hummels, Mkhitaryan, Gundogan and other stars, recovered [-] million euros, turned around and invested in the transfer market, introducing Gotze, Schurrle, Dembé Lai, Guerrero, Rhodes, Bartra and other stars.

In the new season, they still have to compete with Bayern.

Compared with these leagues, the most lively of the five major leagues is the Premier League.

And the starting point of this transfer boom is not from the players, but from the coach...
