Whether UEFA's "Financial Fair Play Policy" has an impact on the transfer market, it definitely does, and it is definitely not small.Although Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, and Bayern have made big money, they have affected the European transfer market.But this year's European transfer market is much quieter than last summer, even compared to the summer of the previous year.

Last year, the transfer fees of the five major European leagues in the summer almost reached 27 billion euros, creating a new record in the European transfer market.However, the total transfer fees of the five major leagues this summer did not add up to 20 billion, only just reaching 15 billion euros.

But the player's agent was not discouraged.Because although the hotness of the transfer market this summer cannot be compared with the previous two years, the salaries of players have skyrocketed.Barcelona's Messi renewed his contract and got 1300 million euros after tax.He is currently the highest paid player in world football.

And behind him are Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, both of whom have a salary of more than 1000 million euros.The three of them are currently the only three players in European football whose after-tax annual salary exceeds [-] million euros.

Of course, if the three of them are the three best superstars in world football today, other players don't need to compare with them.Then Yaya Toure's transfer can be regarded as a milestone in European football.

The impact of Yaya Toure's contract is definitely more than that of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.Because Yaya Toure is a first-class player in European football, there are still many players who can compare with him in European football.Therefore, many world-class players can use Yaya Toure as a benchmark.

Yaya Toure came to Manchester City and got a weekly salary of 22 pounds, rewriting the history of the Premier League.Immediately afterwards, Torres also received a weekly salary of 22 pounds.David Silva received £15 and Thiago Silva £13.Except for them Tevez asked for a salary of the same level as Torres, but in the end he only reached a weekly salary of 19 pounds with Manchester City.

Other Manchester City players have changed their contracts with Manchester City.Just like Modric got a salary of 17 pounds at once, Kompany got a salary of 13 pounds and so on.

Manchester City's contract renewal this time made European football clubs frown, but it made European football agents crazy.They are all preparing to demand higher salaries for their players.

Under such circumstances, the new season began.

"Group C, Manchester City."

On August 2009, 8, the Champions League draw ceremony was held.With the UEFA Secretary-General, in fact, the Secretary-General is the CEO of UEFA.Platini had just been elected president of UEFA.At that time, the chief executive of UEFA was Johansson's die-hard Olsson.The chief executive is, in other words, the chief executive of UEFA.The status in European football is very important, and the power is even greater.

Therefore, Platini proposed to set up the position of UEFA Secretary-General, and the scope of responsibility is the original chief executive.Platini appointed Merkley Pawell to be the secretary-general. Of course, this was agreed by everyone before.Olsson later resigned.But the position of chief executive officer, that is, chief executive officer, is also abolished.Because the power is in the position of Secretary-General.Later, the title of UEFA Secretary-General was used.

But because everyone is used to it.So when we talk about it, we still refer to the CEO of UEFA.Following UEFA Secretary-General Pavel Merkley's announcement, Mubarak, the chairman of the Manchester City club in the audience, immediately collapsed.Of course, Pellegrini's face is not good.

But the camera turned to Mourinho, and Mourinho was still cool.Can't see his real thoughts.Milan's Galliani is also an old fox, and he can't see his thoughts at all.Only Milan coach Leonardo looked ugly.

As for another club, Marseille, everyone ignored it.This group is a veritable group of death, with Real Madrid, Milan, Marseille, and the last one is the upstart Manchester City.

After Mubarak and Pellegrini looked at each other, they both showed wry smiles.They understand that Manchester City, as a team in the fourth tier, is already prone to a death group.However, there must be such a group of death that UEFA deliberately suppressed it.In particular, Real Madrid was also included, just to suppress Florentino's arrogance.

"Coach Pellegrini, who do you think can appear in this group?"

This group is considered to be the only death group in this UEFA Champions League group stage, so reporters rushed over just after the draw.Manchester City has been a very glamorous club in European football in recent years, and this summer is even the most glamorous club.Make UEFA angry.

"Those who can play in the Champions League are strong teams, but Manchester City is not a weak team."

Although he met Real Madrid, Milan and other clubs that are the real champions of the Champions League, Pellegrini was not depressed.On the contrary, now that there is a stage like Manchester City, he still hopes to fight against them.

…………

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.Compared with Real Madrid players, what Manchester City players lack the most is experience in major competitions.The players on Real Madrid's side are basically all experienced.

Needless to say, Cristiano Ronaldo is the top scorer at Arsenal.That period of time was the most glorious time for Arsenal's Champions League results, and they also entered the Champions League semi-finals and the Champions League final.Needless to say, Ribery has even played in the World Cup final and won the Champions League at Manchester United.Harvey Alonso followed Benitez in Liverpool and won two Champions League titles.As for Casillas, needless to say, he already won the Champions League with Real Madrid nine years ago.There are also things like Essien and Carvalho, they were the absolute main players during Mourinho's Chelsea period.

But Manchester City is different.Like Modric, the core of the midfielder, he played in Dortmund before coming to Manchester City.He never played in the Champions League in Dortmund, and he never played in the Champions League in Manchester City.Although David Silva is a direct disciple of Pellegrini, he was a follower of Riquelme in the beginning, and he has only been in charge of it for only two years.Torres' performance in Atletico Madrid's Champions League is not very good.

At present, for Manchester City, only Yaya Toure has rich experience in the Champions League.But Manchester City's defense is a very young lineup.Richards, Thiago Silva, Kompany, Baines, their Champions League experience is relatively lacking.

Although the transfer fee for Manchester City players is high, in terms of Champions League experience, it is one level behind Real Madrid players.After the game started, it showed.Mourinho's Real Madrid pays attention to fast and fast counterattack.Although Pellegrini is not pursuing the ball possession like Barcelona, ​​it is also an attacking style after possession.But facing Mourinho's Real Madrid, they were almost dismembered.

"Alonso, to Di Maria... Di Maria, long pass!"

In order to deal with Barcelona, ​​Mourinho came up with a defensive counterattack strategy.Of course, Real Madrid's counterattack is very different from Chelsea's. It is a complete whirlwind style of play.

An attack can be completed in a few feet.Guardiola created the most amazing possession rate in Barcelona, ​​and Mourinho created the most amazing counterattack in Real Madrid.

After a century of development in world football, after Michels created the total attack and total defense tactic, after Cruyff put forward his own concept of ball control, many coaches have followed the pass-and-control style of play.But Guardiola is the first to go to the extreme of complete possession like Guardiola.

Similarly, there are many coaches who have played defensive counterattacks since the development of football.Even now there are quite a few players active in European football.But like Mourinho, Mourinho is definitely the first to play such an extreme counterattack speed.

That's it this time.The midfield intercepted the ball, and then just passed it with two feet. The ball has already reached the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo.Di Maria looks very thin, but his breakthrough ability is very strong.But what he is more powerful is this 45-degree cross.The ball happened to bypass Manchester City's defense and came between the two Manchester City central defenders.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, he is very fast. Kompany obviously can't keep up with his speed... Cristiano Ronaldo, he waded through Joe Hart."

Although Cristiano Ronaldo was very strong when he was at Arsenal, Arsenal's attack points were very scattered.In comparison, he is different at Real Madrid.Mourinho's defensive counter-attack is very suitable for the strong, fast and good shot Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Empty goal, it's an empty goal. Cristiano Ronaldo, shoot!"

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"One to zero, one to zero. With a counterattack from Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid took the lead away from Manchester City."

"Manchester City still has a great advantage at home. But it is obvious that Manchester City's attack is too fierce. On the contrary, Real Madrid is very low-key in the away game, and they greet the game with a low profile. It should be said that Pellegrini said before the game In terms of arrangement, he lost to Mourinho."

Indeed.Pellegrini came to an upstart like Manchester City, and his mentality began to change.When he was at Villarreal, he was able to consciously lower his stance because he knew that Villarreal was a weak team.But after arriving at Manchester City and starting to spend money lavishly, he now has the ambition to break his wrist with the giants.

Therefore, Pellegrini really wants to compete with Real Madrid in this home game.So Manchester City attack and Real Madrid defend.It's a pity that the opponent is Mourinho, and Mourinho doesn't care about his face.Winning is his only purpose.After the game started, it seemed that Manchester City had the advantage, but what Mourinho's team was least afraid of was those so-called possession advantages.

"The group of death, the group of death. This is really the group of death." (To be continued...)
