Chapter 219 Gorgeous lineup
W Abramovich is not willing to be lonely, and after Jiang Feng, it has once again caused huge waves in the transfer market. In the next two months, Chelsea successively spent more than 100 million pounds (110.45 million) in massive funds, bringing eleven players including Glen Johnson (6 million), Gremy (6.9 million), Bridge (7 million), Duff (17 million), Rasox (500,000), Joe Cole (6.6 million), Peron (15 million), Mutu (15 million), Smerkin (3.45 million), Crespo (17 million), Marklele (16 million) and other eleven players to Stamford Bridge, allowing people all over the world to see what real madness is.
While Abramovich was stirring up trouble in the international transfer market, Jiang Feng, who bought Manchester United, returned to silence, because before Abramovich, with Ronaldinho's joining, he had completed the last puzzle of building a new Manchester United.
Although Jiang Feng's Manchester United has some gap with Abramovich's Chelsea in the total amount of players purchased, it turns out that these transactions are far better than Abramovich's big deal.
This summer, Jiang Feng's Manchester United acquired a total of 14 players, with a total amount of up to 91 million pounds!
Among them, on the forward line, Manchester United signed five players: Rooney (1200), Drogba (10 million), Torres (500), Van Persie (300), Villa (100). Although the total funds spent by these five players when they bought them were only 31 million pounds, it was only in the past year. The value of these five players has increased by more than three times. In the summer of 2004, according to the price given in the international transfer market, the value of these five players was: Rooney (30 million), Drogba (30 million), Torres (20 million), Van Persie (15 million), and Villa (15 million).
In the midfield, Manchester United signed four players including Ronaldo (15 million), Ronaldo (25 million), Ronaldo (6 million), and Carrick (2 million).
On the back line, Manchester United also signed four players including Evra (2 million), Vidic (2 million), Kompany (2 million), and Macon (2 million).
Players on these three lines, plus the two goalkeepers Van der Sar (2 million) and Howard (2 million). Manchester United's lineup is perfect. Because in Manchester United's original lineup, there were Van Nicht, Solskjaer, Fran (later transfer to Barcelona), Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Peron (later transfer to Chelsea), Fletcher, Phil Neville, Gary Neville, Ferdinand, O'Shea, Sylvester and other star lineups.
It can be said that after completing all the transfers, Manchester United has been able to gather two teams with equal strength.
Among them, the team's lineup was basically the main lineup that won the league championship last season, namely the defenders (from left to right): O'Shea (22), Sylvester (27), Ferdinand (5), and Gary Neville (2); the midfielder (from left to right): Giggs (11, Scholes 18, Keane (16), and Phil Neville (3); the forwards: Van Nie 10, Solskjaer (20).
As for the newly purchased members, it is more than enough to form a team, and you can even leave three forwards as substitutes.
However, this summer, although Manchester United looked like it cost more than 90 million pounds to buy players, in addition to the benefits obtained from transferring players, they did not really spend much. Because the benefits obtained by Manchester United in the transfer market are also impressive, including Beckham (35 million), Perron (15 million), Fran (10 million), Butters (3 million) and other role players, a total of up to 68 million pounds.
In other words, Manchester United buys the transfer fee that players really spend. It is only 23 million pounds, about 33 million US dollars.
Even the 100 million US dollars promised by Jiang Feng only spent one-third!
In fact, when the players purchased by Jiang Feng grew up, their value had increased by at least quadrupled compared to when they bought it. In the following years, although Manchester United did not introduce any big-name stars, and even sold some big-name stars (Van Nie transferred to Real Madrid for 20 million pounds in the summer of 2005), no fan said anything.
Is there any modification needed to have a perfect lineup?
It can be said that Jiang Feng's Manchester United is the biggest winner in the transfer market this summer! Although, at this time, most media from the outside world are still mocking Jiang Feng's stinginess.
The ridicule of the outside media is actually easy to understand. After all, compared with Chelsea's net expenditure of over 100 million pounds, Manchester United's efforts are really unsightly.
They are still the top ten richest people in the world. In addition to Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Rooney and Drogba, the players they bought are all small transactions of no more than five million. What is even more despised is that most of them have only two million, and there is even one million to buy an unknown player in the Spanish Second Division.
It’s not like this that embarrassing!
Of course, the most important thing is that these media reporters who are afraid of the world's chaos did not see the two super rich people they imagined fighting for wealth in the international transfer market, which is so disappointing.
In fact, many Manchester United fans were very dissatisfied with Jiang Feng's actions at this time, but they couldn't say anything. Because in a sense, Jiang Feng had fulfilled his initial promise and even exceeded his promise: the total funds for Manchester United to acquire players are as high as 91 million pounds, which is 130 million US dollars!
Media reporters saw that Manchester United fans were not jumping and gradually lost their enthusiasm. However, from then on, Jiang Feng received an indecent title: the cunning Oriental Fox.
Thinking about it, on the surface, this guy exceeded his promise to the fans and spent a huge amount of $130 million in the transfer market, but in fact, the money he actually took out from his wallet was only 33 million pounds!
Too cunning!
In fact, the real reason why Manchester United fans did not make trouble with these reporters who were afraid of the world was because Jiang Feng issued a statement.
When asked about transfer issues at a press conference, Jiang Feng said that the team will not introduce players in the short term, because the team's personnel in various positions are now very wealthy. Buying players is a waste.
Jiang Feng said that he will not deceive the team's hundreds of millions of fans around the world. The transfer fee he promised will not be used for transfers anymore, but it will be used as a team's benefit. He will use the remaining 67 million transfer funds to buy an Airbus A320 aircraft for Manchester United as a special plane.
The Airbus A320 aircraft is priced at around 55 million US dollars, and with various decoration and maintenance costs, the cost required this year is indeed about 67 million US dollars.
Such news made both Manchester United players and Manchester United fans very satisfied. Especially Manchester United players, their attitude towards Jiang Feng can be said to be grateful and long live the mountain.
This is also related to the reason why Manchester United's annual schedule is too intensive.
Let’s do it. Manchester United needs to play 38 games in the league every year, and half of them need to go to other cities. After the Champions League is reorganized this year, although there are fewer games to play, if you enter the finals, you still need to play thirteen games. Among them, seven games need to go to other cities and even other countries. In domestic arenas, there are two events in the FA Cup and the League Cup. Among them, if you enter the finals, Manchester United needs to play eight rounds of games. Six rounds of main matches, one round of semi-finals and one round of finals. This is still not considering the situation of rematches that need to be tied. The number of games in the League Cup is not less than that in the FA Cup.
These games are combined into sixty-six games. More than half of them, which means about thirty-five games, need to go away.
If we add the domestic community shield, as well as the possible European Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup football matches (Toyota Cup), and the Club World Cup that later replaced the Intercontinental Cup, Manchester United has nearly 70 games every year, of which about 40 games need to go away, and some of them need to go abroad or even go to far away Japan. This is definitely a huge burden for Manchester United players. Especially if they need to take a flight, it will make people physically and mentally exhausted.
However, if there is a team-only aircraft, a lot of trouble will be saved and players will save more energy and focus on the game.
After this news, the media finally stopped.
At this time, Hamandan, who had been playing in the UK for more than ten days, also returned to Manchester.
"Jiang, you are very powerful recently!" After meeting, Hamandan said with a smile.
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Hamdan, in fact, you can be more powerful. With your net worth, it is not a problem to buy a team to play with."
Indeed, as the son of the current crown prince of Dubai, Hamandan has a net worth of billions of dollars. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a team is no different from playing.
Hamandan shook his head and said, "I think so, but my father doesn't allow me, and he doesn't even allow me to appear in public."
Jiang Feng was stunned and then thought of something.
In another time and space, after Hamandan's father, who later succeeded as chief, later Dubai's Chief Muhammad, quickly made Hamandan the crown prince.
As the crown prince, he is destined to take over the position of chieftain of Dubai unless there is an accident in the future. As the future national leader, the Dubai royal family is unlikely to allow Harmandan to show too much.
As for the fact that Abu Dhabi Prince Mansour bought Manchester City in another time and space, it was because Mansour basically had no possibility of inheriting the position of Chief Abu Dhabi, and he was a businessman himself, so there was nothing to do about such a thing.
Moreover, even though Mansour has made continuous big moves after buying Manchester City, Mansour himself rarely appears in public.
Now that Hamandan's father made such a request to him, it shows that Hamandan's future status as crown prince has basically been determined.
"Congratulations, Hamandan!" Jiang Feng congratulated towards Hamandan. Welcome to your support, which is my greatest motivation.m
