Red Rebels

?

On June 20, the Red Rebels first announced on the official website that the team acquired Manchester United star David Beckham at a high price of 18 million pounds. The latter signed with the Red Rebels for 4 years. The specific salary has not been announced to the public, but the outside world speculated , The weekly salary is the same as that of Manchester United, 90,000 pounds after tax, which is also the first highest salary in the Red Rebel team.

On the afternoon of the same day, Manchester United also held a press conference to announce that Beckham was transferred to the Red Rebels. The club's press officer said that the club hoped that he would be successful in the Red Rebels.

These two news caused uproar in the world, especially two days ago, everyone still swore that Beckham would move to Real Madrid, but now it has suddenly turned around and joined the newly-promoted Premier League. Is this more shocking and incredible?

Faced with questions from the media, Manchester United's press officer said it was a deliberate decision by the club's board of directors, then declined to comment on the transfer and hurriedly ended the press conference.

As for the Red Rebels, they did not even hold a press conference, but stated on the official website that Beckham will return to Manchester on July 1 to report to the team. At 3 o'clock, a press conference will be held at Old Trafford to announce the joining of Beckham, and then will go to Ireland for pre-season training.

The reason for choosing this place is to avoid some media attention and try to prepare for the pre-season in a low-key manner.

In Ireland, the team will play 4 warm-up matches against some well-known local professional teams, and then go south to London on July 26, and play a pre-season game with Wimbledon on July 29. Warm-up match.

After returning to Manchester, on August 3, the Newton Heath Cup will be held at the expanded Butcher's Knife Stadium, Droysden has been promoted to League Two, and as usual, all income from this game will be donated to the Red Rebels Army Charitable Foundation.

August 10th is the Community Shield Cup, held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The Red Rebels, who are the FA Cup champions, will face Manchester United, their rivals in the same city. This is also the first face-to-face match between the Red Rebels and Manchester United. sought after, especially after the introduction of Beckham by the Red Rebels.

……………… After Manchester United sold Beckham at an ultra-low price of 18 million pounds, they immediately strengthened their offensive against Ronaldinho and announced that they would introduce the American goalkeeper at a price of 2.3 million pounds. Howard, this also indirectly proves Ferguson's dissatisfaction with Barthes.

Originally, when Manchester United sold Beckham, they hoped that the Red Rebels could use Cech as a transfer addition, but Xiao Yu clearly rejected the proposal. He made it clear that Cech was not for sale by the team and refused. any offer.

In addition, Manchester United also spent 3.5 million pounds to introduce Djemba from Nantes, France.

Introducing Berian from Sunderland on a free transfer, as for the position left by Beckham after the transfer, Ferguson hopes that Ronaldinho can be used to fill it. In addition, they also released rumors to pursue the Red Rebel's Hlei cloth.

But Hleb is currently hot, and many giant teams, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, etc., have expressed strong interest in this 22-year-old new star who has already shown great strength. Among them, Arsenal is more It was the first to offer a high price of 10 million pounds, but it was rejected by the Red Rebels.

Many players of the Red Rebels have attracted the attention of many teams, but with the exception of Hleb and Junior Juninho, all other players, Xiao Yu, did not give up easily, and they signed a long-term contract with the team. Even though Hleb, who wanted to leave, only expressed his wishes to the club through his agent.

After Xiao Yu talked to Florentino, Real Madrid sent negotiators to Manchester the next day. Mark David and Walsh came forward to negotiate with Real Madrid. The two sides quickly settled the details. Moved to Real Madrid for £14 million.

This is also considered to be a more pragmatic signing by Florentino, and the addition of Juninho Jr. has also greatly improved Real Madrid's organizational ability in the midfield. Many experts have said that if Jr. Juninho Jr. Integrated into the team, his partner with Makelele will make Real Madrid's overall strength stronger.

With Real Madrid signing Juninho, Barcelona also began to strengthen the offensive against Ronaldinho, and the latter's brother appeared frequently in Barcelona, ​​which made the original thought that signing Ronaldinho had already The ironclad Manchester United was terrified.

But the more afraid you are, the easier it is for things to happen.

On June 23, Barcelona officially announced that they signed the Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho of Paris Saint-Germain with a high price of 28 million US dollars, which is also considered to be Laporta's compensation to the members, because Beckham ultimately failed to come to Barcelona.

Consecutive setbacks in the transfer market, the loss of Ronaldinho, and the rising transfer fee of Hleb forced Manchester United to withdraw from Hleb's transfer battle and instead focus on La Liga star Joaquin, Reyes and Sporting Lisbon The Quaresma, these two players are also quite optimistic about Ferguson's new star.

As for Chelsea and Arsenal, the former is rich and the latter is Arsene Wenger is very optimistic about Hleb. A whopping £15 million.

Xiao Yu held a meeting with David and Gardner from the Ministry of Commerce. Knowing that Hleb's worth is about 12 million pounds, it is very good to be able to reach the current price, so he decisively agreed to Barcelona's offer. , Hleb eventually moved to Barcelona, ​​which not only earned the transfer fee, but also avoided enhancing the strength of the Premier League rivals.

Arsenal failed to sign Hleb, and immediately turned to Reyes. With a transfer price of 13.5 million pounds, which was higher than the transfer price in Xiao Yu's previous life, he beat Manchester United and won the Spanish star.

As for Chelsea, after Hleb's move to Barcelona, ​​they turned to Blackburn's Duff. Two days later, Duff moved to Chelsea for a high price of 17 million pounds, and that's not all, Chelsea announced on the same day that the Signed Joe Cole for £6m and Mutu from Parma for £15.8m.

For a time, the football market in Italy, Spain and Germany has entered a severe winter this summer, but England has become the focus of the world's attention, especially Chelsea, the super-rich team known as Chersky, The players currently looking at also include superstars such as Veron and Crespo. I believe that in the next period of time, they will also be the focus of the most attention in the football market.

……………… In addition to the attention in the transfer market, England has also received attention outside the transfer market.

Last year, when Kirsch in Germany went bankrupt and almost prevented the World Cup from being broadcast, the Bundesliga’s broadcast fee for a season was reduced by 140 million pounds, or 200 million euros, which was the hardest hit area. In addition, Serie A and La Liga were in the broadcast fee In the past, the sponsors also tried their best to lower the price, and the income was not as good as before.

Therefore, apart from Barcelona and Real Madrid this season, the Italian giants are collectively in a downturn, and other Spanish teams have not made many signings. The Bundesliga teams are generally sad, and only England remains strong.

The three-year Premier League broadcast fee from 2001 to 2004 was 1.1 billion pounds, and each Premier League team could earn at least 15 million pounds per season. The price of the Premier League broadcast fee has once again been negotiated at a high price, as high as 1.3 billion pounds.

This was far beyond Xiao Yu's expectations, because in his previous life, he remembered that the broadcast fee of the Premier League in the past three seasons should only be about 1 billion, but now it is so much more.

But after talking with David and Gardner in detail, Xiao Yu finally understood.

The sudden rise of the Red Rebels has made this season's Premier League full of highlights, especially since this team won the UEFA Cup and FA Cup successively last year, and won the unprecedented second tier of the Europa League and won the European Triple Crown. Wang's success has greatly enhanced the appeal of the Premier League this season.

In addition, in Xiao Yu's previous life, when the broadcast fee was negotiated, Beckham had already transferred to Real Madrid, which made the Premier League's appeal also drop a lot, but now Beckham stayed in the Premier League and joined Manchester United The sworn enemy Red Rebels, which undoubtedly greatly improved the Premier League's highlights, especially the confrontation between the Red Rebels and several sworn enemy teams.

Just imagine that even the Community Shield Cup that was warmed up before the season was swept up by fans. It is not difficult to imagine how lively the Premier League will be in the new season.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, these three teams are the traditional top three in the Premier League, but now the sudden rise of the Red Rebels and Chelsea, coupled with the strength of traditional strong teams such as Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa, etc. The improvement of the Premier League has led many media to predict that the Premier League will enter a new season in full bloom.

The two-man Premier League is not very attractive, but once it fully blooms, the appeal of the Premier League will be further enhanced, especially when the Premier League market is generally hot.

Bookmakers are betting on who will be the Premier League's top contenders this season, with Manchester United and Arsenal far ahead, followed by Chelsea and Liverpool, with the Red Rebels in eighth and considered There is no problem with relegation, but winning the championship may not be a big deal.

But in the bet on who will be the darkest dark horse in the Premier League this season, the Red Rebels are far ahead. Obviously, all lottery players agree that the Red Rebels will be the team most likely to upset the Premier League this season. If the Red Rebels continue their excellent performance last season, it is not impossible for the Red Rebels to compete for the Champions League qualification.

The other two newly-promoted teams, Portsmouth and Leicester City, are considered to be relegation teams. The possibility of them becoming dark horses is not large, and it is still unknown whether they can be relegated.

From these two lists, it is not difficult to see the expectations of the outside world for the Red Rebels, but Xiao Yu is very clear about this. The team is a new team in the Premier League. The first consideration is to avoid relegation. One hundred efforts, so the bonus he offered to the team this season is the relegation bonus, and nothing else. The purpose is to tell the players that the Red Rebels are a relegation team, and the first thing to consider is relegation.

Compared with the Premier League, the UEFA Cup, League Cup and FA Cup are not so important, especially after the Premier League signed a new broadcast contract with Sky TV, as long as the relegation is relegated, that season can get at least 17.5 million pounds in transfer. Membership fee income, plus Premier League business development, and match day income, etc.

Well, a Premier League team, even just the bottom team, earns more than the UEFA Cup winners in a season.
