Football’s First Defender

The 2008 European Cup can be said to be the beginning of the establishment of a dynasty of Spanish football control! This year's European Cup, and the game in Yang Feng's memory, has not changed! After all, Yang Feng is an Asian, no matter how the butterfly **** its wings, it can't do anything about the European Cup!

The Spanish team relied on the maturing pass and control football. In the final, with a goal from Torres, it defeated the iron-blooded Germanic chariot Germany 1-0 and regained its top position in Europe after 44 years!

In addition to the champion Spanish team, the most eye-catching is the Russian team, which was once regarded as a football desert. Not only did it successfully beat Sweden and the defending champion Greece in the group stage, it was still a quarter. In the final, 3-1 eliminated the powerful Dutch team that was unanimously optimistic about the strength to beat the championship!

Although in the semi-finals, once again lost to their own group match No. 1 Spain team, but that is the absolute restraint of the team style, there is really no way!

However, successfully reaching the top four is a rare good result for Russia!

In the team, the most dazzling star is of course Arshavin, the core player of the Russian national team!

After being shown a red card in the final match of the European Cup qualifiers and had to watch the first two group matches of the European Cup finals, Arshavin lifted his ban and returned in the third match against Sweden! And continued his outstanding performance in the club, successfully scoring a goal, helping the team defeat the Nordic powerhouse Sweden 2-0! Advance to the top 8 with the second result of the group!

In the subsequent knockout rounds, facing the shining stars of the Dutch team, Russia, despite not being favored by everyone, fought tenaciously with the Dutch team to a 1-1 draw within 90 minutes. In the overtime, Al Shavin continues his super **** performance!

This is the first European Cup where the silver ball and golden ball rules have been cancelled. Arshavin was able to fully show his talent in the 30-minute overtime. One shot and one pass in the end! Overtime is relying on Arshavin's personal performance to successfully lead the Russian team to the semifinals! And Yang Feng also came to the scene to watch the game in person, not only to witness the classic battle of his friend's national team, but also to take a vacation with his girlfriend in Switzerland and Austria to relax!

However, in the semi-finals, because the team's strength gap is too large, and the Spaniard's pass-and-control play perfectly restrains Russia's rough style, Arshavin's performance is not as bright as before, but his previous 2 games have 2 goals and 1 assist. Planning for the perfect performance of the other two goals, Arshavin was selected as the best team of this European Cup.

With the addition of Arshavin in the club, both the Russian Super League and the European Cup have the same dazzling performance. After the European Cup, he immediately became a sweet pastry in the transfer market, triggering fierce competition among countless giants!

After every big game, there will inevitably be a star who will detonate the transfer market. In the championship and runners-up team Spain and Germany players are basically playing for the rich. When it is difficult to dig a corner, Arshavin, who is in the small team Zenit Naturally, it has become the object of competition for many giants seeking to change the offensive end.

Nai He Lang has sentimental concubines and intentions, but there are still stubborn parents blocking him!

Countless price inquiries were rejected by Zenit! Even if it is like Skortel’s free transfer, Denisov will inevitably leave because of the conflict with Danny. Arshavin, Timošchuk, Pogrebnyak, and Yang Feng all want to go higher. Platform!

But Zenit, who is also not bad in Russia, is definitely not aiming to be a nouveau riche. Whether it is a favor offensive, a monetary reward, or a large signing in the summer to ensure strength, Zenit wants to be in the Russian Super League. Try to defend the title and want to make a breakthrough in the second half of the Champions League!

After all, they are team veterans. Arshavin and others finally chose to compromise due to the problem of contract years and human factors, and then play for the team for half a year. When the Russian Super League is over and the UEFA Champions League group stage is over, they will look at the results of the European game and decide whether it is in the winter. Leave the team!

However, for Yang Feng who knows the history, Zenit's performance in the second half of the year is not so good, and naturally he will not delay himself for half a year on this broken ship that is destined to leak for a period of time!

Under Yang Feng’s repeated insistence, and after all, Yang Feng and Arshavin’s agents are the same. Under the agent’s request that Yang Feng and Arshavin must go one by one, Zenit chose to keep Arshavin and let go. The transfer restrictions for Yang Feng have been lifted!

Perhaps Arshavin chose to stay behind, which makes many giants feel a pity, but Yang Feng, who performed well on the defensive end, is also the goal of many teams!

However, because the transfer conditions are not clearly stated, many clubs have come to ask for prices, including the one who has just taken over Inter Milan, and the defensive master Mourinho has all sought offers, but Yang Feng now wants to go only to the Premier League!

The most positive in the Premier League may be Liverpool, which has just signed a free agent, Scotter, to add back defense! As a master of tactics, Benitez can see that the combination of Yang Feng and Skrtel's Zenit central defender can completely plug and play in the new season! The tacit understanding between the two has been fully developed after more than a year of training, and the two have also formed complementary styles, which can definitely greatly strengthen their defensive strength!

But for the young Yang Feng, Liverpool's high-level estimates are still conservative. At that time, they were still offering a transfer price of £6.5 million for Skrtel in the winter window, but they were only willing to offer a price of £7.5 million for Yang Feng!

For Zenit, who regards Yang Feng as the core of the rear defense team, this is definitely not a satisfactory offer!

The two parties have been negotiating on the price! Other Premier League teams have also found offers, but such as Arsenal’s 5 million pounds, and Tottenham’s 6 million pounds, it may be more funny! Yang Feng is destined to become a member of the temperature difference sign!

You must know the news that has been broken. Although it has been favored by the outside world, the young Spanish central defender Pique, who has not been played by Manchester United, has returned to his old club Barcelona for 9 million pounds. Zenit does not think that he is already here. In the European war, Yang Feng appeared as the main force and proved himself worse than Pique! No talk for less than 10 million pounds!

Compared with the Premier League team’s conservative attitude towards foreigners, Mourinho, who has reinstated the coach in Serie A, is very optimistic about Yang Feng’s potential. Although Inter Milan’s defense is good in Serie A, who would dislike a good player? There are few talented players! What's more, there is an old Moratti who is not bad at money waving a checkbook!

Inter Milan sent Zenit an offer of 10 million pounds, which just reached Zenit's psychological bottom line!

After all, the value of defenders is destined to be not as high as offensive players!

Mourinho made such a high price for such a young Yang Feng. It can be seen that he really recognizes Yang Feng's strength and he is confident that he can have greater development in the future!

It's just that Luohua is intentional and ruthless. For Yang Feng, he would rather spend money to make up the difference to go to the Premier League like Arshavin in his previous life, and he does not want to go to the Serie A league to follow the future Inter Milan to win the triple crown!

Although Mourinho is a good coach, he is unique in cultivating defensive players. For example, after he was in Real Madrid, he still bought and cultivated the school hegemony under the situation of Peperamos two world-class central defenders. Llane made Real Madrid the third of the world's top five central defenders at the time!

Real Madrid's many years of dominance in the Champions League afterwards is inseparable from the talent pool left by Mourinho!

But Serie A is destined to decline because of its own country's economic weakness. The Premier League is the most intense and eye-catching league in the future!

Fortunately, just before the trade deadline set by Zenit, Yang Feng planned to pay for the difference by himself. An unexpected Premier League team sent an offer that Zenit could not refuse!

The new Premier League giants, the Blues Chelsea, made an offer of 11 million pounds for Yang Feng!

In fact, in Yang Feng's expectation, it may be a team with a problematic defense line like Liverpool or Arsenal~www.NovelMTL.com~ The desire for themselves is greater, even if the oil capital that has just moved into Manchester City will buy it. It is also normal. Chelsea is actually not in Yang Feng's expectations, because the simple thing is that Chelsea's defense is too strong!

Not to mention the main center-back combination composed of England's main central defender Terry and Brazil international Alexis. On the bench, there are also Portuguese international Carvalho and Brazil edge international Belletti. The four major international level central defenders, for Yang Feng If you go to Chelsea, you may not have much playing time at all!

But Chelsea has the habit of defensive players. Whether it is a defensive midfielder or a defender, Chelsea has always been a large reserve of talent.

Although sitting on four powerful central defenders, in fact, there are not many young central defenders in terms of reserves! Terry is 80 years old, Alex is 82 years old, and the other two backup central defenders are older, although they are both playing years, and the position of defender, over 30 years old, can also be maintained by more extensive experience. Defensive quality, but Professor Jing Wen's theory is still good, that is, players who have passed 30 years old, who knows which year will suddenly decline!

For Chelsea, a team that is determined to become a top giant and will compete for the Champions League in the next few years, spending money to train young central defenders who can be used or even become the core of the defense in the next few years is not A waste of resources!

And although Mourinho has left Chelsea, Chelsea's management still believes in Mourinho's vision, especially his vision of defensive players! Since Mourinho wants to buy Yang Feng off the field, Yang Feng must be a talented player on the back line. Even if he is not trained, his boss Abrahimović is not short of that little money!
