The Ball at Your Feet

Updated: 2013-10-17

Before Ancelotti took office, Real Madrid's signings were actually in preparation.

It stands to reason that Real Madrid has just won the league championship and does not need too many signings. However, since Florentino is on stage, how can it not buy people? And if you buy someone, you have to buy a big name, otherwise, how can he show his extraordinary Florentino?

Ronaldinho and Kaka can’t buy them, but they can buy others. After Florentino came to power, the first offer was to point to the hottest players in Ligue 1 Benzema and Inter Milan’s striker general Ibrahim. Simovic.

Lyon followed Mourinho to the Champions League final this season, which also made Benzema's worth soaring. After Florentino came to power, he couldn't dig Ronaldinho and Kaka, and he was unwilling to buy those players who were not well-known. Therefore, what he thought of was to buy the famous Benzema now.

As an alternative, it is Inter Milan striker Ibrahimovic. Although Ibrahimovic is the best player in Serie A this season, in contrast, his reputation is much worse than Kaka. On the one hand, the European war is not strong, and on the other hand, he is not handsome enough and has a bad temper, which makes him not the top player in Serie A, and it also makes Florentino a bit picky. However, Serie A is at a higher level than French Ligue 1. Ibrahimovic’s strength is stronger. Inter Milan may not be able to do it elsewhere. But thanks to Moratti’s many years of business and only buying strikers’ hobby, their striker brand is also very loud. Who is the main striker of Inter Milan, who has the title of the world's first striker faintly, this also makes Florentino have to think about.

Of course, Real Madrid is not short of strikers at this time-Raul has not retired, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Higuain are also there, and Negredo and Soldado can almost be kicked out. In this case, go again. Buying someone is really not worth it.

However, Florentino has his own considerations. Van Nistelrooy and Higuain are both signings during the Calderon period, and Raul is the team's youth training. If you use these people to produce results, how can you prove that he is an extraordinary club chairman? Therefore, what he considered was to introduce a striker to prove his greatness.

And the candidates he considered, one is Benzema, and the other is Ibrahimovic. Except for the two of them, the other forwards, Torres refused to come, Drogba would not come, any more players, after all, are not good enough.

These two people are also very interested in Real Madrid now. Inter Milan and Lyon are desperately trying to retain their own players. Although Real Madrid's offer fascinates them, in the end, it is not certain who will come here.

But there will always be one, which Florentino does not doubt.

As soon as this signing news came out, the world became a sensation again. The practice of the Galaxy Battleship One Year in the past was a sensation enough, but in recent years, it is difficult to find a football player, and Real Madrid buyers have to face problems, but whoever wants it, Florentino’s idea is not. It's still so simple and straightforward: Take away other people's top players directly in the major teams.

Such an approach is really eye-catching.

In fact, when Ancelotti arrived, Florentino also had a showdown.

"Regarding the signing of the striker, I have almost settled with Inter Milan. They are willing to sell Ibrahimovic to us. The transfer fee is about 65 million euros. I think it is a very good deal."

Benzema didn't buy it in the end-he entered a Champions League final, which made Olas very confident, saying that he would not want to sell his core players from youth training at this time. Although Benzema wanted to come to Real Madrid, he still chose to stay in the team under the persuasion of Olas.

He was not a strong-willed person, although he was hailed as a combination of Henry and Trezeguet, and was praised by Ronaldo as the person most like himself, but because he was born in a wealthy family, he is also a genius, Benzema It really lacks a piece of hard work and motivation. He is indeed a genius, but he really owes a little temper in his temperament. Since Aulas worked hard to keep him, he naturally wouldn't make a single-minded transfer.

But Ibrahimovic is different. Inter Milan did not give much strength in the Champions League, and Ibrahimovic was also holding a lot of anger in his heart. After falling out with Mancini this year, he and Inter Milan are also close together. At this time, Real Madrid's poaching came at the right time. He himself intends to play in the environment of a stronger team and better teammates, and Real Madrid wants him, and his agent is moved by the 9 million euros promised by Florentino. He immediately agreed to the transfer.

When the players agree to the transfer, it is also difficult for the team to retain. And Real Madrid and Inter Milan do not do business once or twice. The two sides have enough experience and the negotiation is also very smooth. 65 million, a price enough to enter the top ten transfer records, Ibrahimovic moved to Real Madrid.

Ancelotti didn't say much-the deal was not a good deal, and Florentino would not change his mind. Benzema did not buy it. Ibrahimović was already a concession. It is impossible for Florentino to accept a player with a lesser reputation. Van Nistelrooy is old after all, and Higuain really needs to be tempered. Having Ibrahimovic is really helpful.

And he also understood that Florentino's purge was unstoppable. Not to mention Ruud van Nistelrooy’s old age and a lot of injuries. Even at his peak, such a big-name star bought by the former chairman would have nothing to eat. Even Zidane, didn't he retire in a hurry? This kind of thing is not just a matter of football.

"I have taken care of the forward problem. How to make the defense run in well is not a big problem. How to get Zhao Yaning and Ibrahimovic to cooperate well, this is the important problem. I. I believe you can give me a satisfactory answer, right?"

"I will try my best. They are all very good players. Good players will be better together and they will be better."

Ancelotti also asked himself a question mark in his heart.

Zhao Yaning and Ibrahimovic, can they really break in? Ancelotti himself has no answer to this question. Ibrahimovic's character is very arrogant, but it is not irresponsible. Zhao Yaning has a gentle temper, but he seems to have some ideas of his own. If two people get together, can they produce a good chemical reaction? Ancelotti does not know, but he is also very interested to know: such a thing, of course, is fascinating, what will the cooperation of top players look like?

In addition, he is also very happy that Florentino has fulfilled his promise and left the matter to Ancelotti on the issue of defensive players.

As for the defense, Ancelotti also directly put forward his own requirements: Ivanovic, who played for Chelsea in the Premier League, is his signing target.

This choice is actually quite strange: Ivanovic only came to Chelsea last season, and he did not play very well at Chelsea. Moreover, he is still a non-European player, occupying a non-European spot, which does not seem to be The best candidate.

"There are only a few defenders to choose from. The best right back in Ligue 1 is Sarnia, followed by Maicon and Aveiroa of Liverpool, as well as Alves... Alves went to Barcelona. Not to mention, Maicon Liverpool will definitely not sell, and Aveiroa’s offense is really bad, and Sanya has the same problem. Ivanovic can be both offensive and defensive."

"You seem to buy a right back."

Real Madrid's problem is that the right back has no substitute, and the center back Cannavaro is getting older and older. Ancelotti first considered the right back, not the successor of the center back, which surprised Florentino.

"My idea is to let Ramos play as a central defender and succeed Cannavaro. Of course, I have to guard against unsuccessfulness, so I bought Ivanovic. If it doesn't work, let Ramos continue to play. On the right, let Ivanovic play in the middle. One more preparation is also a good thing."

"Carlo, you know, you are currently playing for Real Madrid, there is no need to prepare for such a two-handed. If you think it is necessary, just buy one more defender."

Florentino's words made Ancelotti shook his head, "No need, there may be problems in the dressing room with more people, I don't want them to make opinions."

"But, using a non-European spot for a defender...Is there really no problem with this?"

"It's okay. The big names of frontcourt players now have EU citizenship anyway, so don't worry about this issue."

Florentino no longer objected. Ancelotti sees it very clearly that Florentino wants to bring in big names and engage in propaganda. He doesn't care who is bringing in. Ancelotti simply followed him without any comments. Florentino is quite satisfied with this attitude.

The acquisition of Ivanovic is not too difficult. He has just arrived at Chelsea and has not been kicked out and has no feelings. Chelsea is now changing coaches again, therefore, did not keep him well, Real Madrid has basically completed the acquisition. First Ibrahimovic moved 65 million to Real Madrid, and then Ivanovic moved 15 million to Real Madrid. As soon as Zhao Yaning arrived at the team, he had already heard of Real Madrid's handwriting-80 million was thrown out. This summer, Real Madrid bought again. New players.

Of course, while buying people, the team also considered selling people: M Torres, Soldado, and Negredo all left the team this year. Their strength is actually good, but, after all, they do not meet the needs of Real Madrid, therefore, they have been purged.

And the same was sold, and Gago was originally bought as a star of hope~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This season, after continuous problems, he was also abandoned by the team: poor ability, mentality Not good, and there was a conflict with the club's teammates. His departure is only a matter of time. Although the team said they had to investigate and loan him out, Zhao Yaning estimated that he would not be able to come back.

Of course, Gago has left and Delared retired, and Real Madrid's midfielder needs a new substitute.

After buying Ibrahimovic and Ivanovic, Real Madrid's frontcourt and backcourt have been supplemented. In this way, Real Madrid only needs to consider the issue of midfielder replacement for the time being.

On the issue of midfield, Real Madrid also quickly completed a signing. Valdano signed the Arsenal midfielder Flamini, whose contract expired, which is a supplement to the midfielder's position.

This transfer did not let Florentino say anything. He didn't care much about the signing of the midfielder. In this position, it doesn’t matter if anyone comes. Since Ambrosini and De Rossi recommended by Ancelotti are not willing to come, then come a free Flamini as a substitute, and Florentino also no comment.

And this signing, no one in the team said anything. Flamini is just a substitute after all, and how he performs, we have to observe.

For him, signing Ibrahimovic is a success. Other minor transfers are all additional.

As a championship team, Real Madrid needs to make little changes this season. Except for Delrayd's accident that caused problems in this position, which needs to be supplemented, there are not many other positions that have been supplemented. After such repairs, Real Madrid can be considered to have completed the signings. The rest is to see the break-in.
