Super Marshal

July is approaching and the World Youth Championship in North America is about to ignite. However, fans all over the world have set their sights on European football. The intricate transfer market attracts everyone's attention.

Among the four major leagues, the Premier League is the only one with the most purchasing power. La Liga is supported by three giants. Although Serie A is in decline, Inter Milan is still one of the strongest teams in Europe. The three major leagues still play the leading role in the transfer market.

But there are exceptions.

From the Sun newspaper's photo of Gao Han arriving at the Sebena training base to Bild's publication of Hitzfeld's resignation, Gao Han took over Bayern Munich, causing the world's attention to shift to the Bundesliga.

This is the first time in the past five years.

But it still failed to change the bleak status quo of the Bundesliga.

In addition to Bayern Munich, by the end of June, the highest transfer fee in the Bundesliga transfer market came from Werder Bremen. They introduced the young Brazilian midfielder Carlos Alberto from Sao Paulo for a fee of 7.8 million euros, and later spent 4.5 million euros to introduce midfielder Sanogo from Hamburg.

But they sold their leading striker Klose to Bayern Munich and received a transfer fee of 15 million euros.

In other words, without the money Bayern Munich spent to buy Klose, Werder Bremen would have no money to buy anyone at all.

The second highest transfer fee came from Hamburg. They introduced Egyptian striker Zidan from Mainz for 5.8 million euros and Castren from Feyenoord for 2.5 million. The two sums of money were also collected from the sale of Sanogo and several other transfers of several hundred thousand and one million or so.

The situation of last season's league champion Stuttgart was not much better. The maximum transfer fee was only 2 million. They introduced goalkeeper Schaefer from Nuremberg, but their sales revenue alone reached more than 3 million.

Even the pharmaceutical company Leverkusen, which is backed by a large consortium, did not invest much. The maximum transfer was 4.7 million euros. They introduced forward Jekas from Bochum, but they sold their main central defender Juan. Roma, earning 6.3 million euros.

There are not many big deals left. For example, Wolfsburg spent 4 million euros to bring forward Dzeko from the Czech Republic, Simunek spent 3.5 million euros to bring in, and Hannover 96 spent 3.5 million euros to bring in striker Dzeko from the Czech Republic. Wolfsburg spent 5 million euros to introduce striker Hank.

The business environment of the entire Bundesliga can be seen from the transfers and signings of Bundesliga teams. Except for Bayern Munich, there is no one with more than 10 million. It can be seen that the purchasing power of Bundesliga teams is indeed at the bottom of the four major leagues. .

But it is precisely the overall low point of the Bundesliga that highlights Bayern Munich's wealth.

Rummenigge said in an interview with the media that the team would give a transfer budget of 100 million euros, and then successively sold a group of players such as Hargreaves, Mackay and Santa Cruz, officially starting the A sign of Bayern Munich's reorganization.

And Gao Han's arrival also made everyone look forward to it even more.

Signing Klose for 15 million euros, Bayern Munich fired the first shot of reorganization.

By signing Robben from Chelsea for 30 million euros, the Bundesliga giants showed everyone their strong financial resources and team-building courage. That is, they are not just based in the Bundesliga, but want to return to the top teams in Europe. .

In the entire Bundesliga, no team can compete with Bayern Munich.

When everyone had not yet recovered from the shock of Robben joining Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich once again announced that it would introduce midfielder Luka from Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia for a transfer fee of 10 million euros. · Modric.

This immediately caused considerable repercussions in the transfer market, because not long ago, Schalke 04 had just introduced Croatian midfielder Rakitic from Basel, but it only cost 3 million euros.

However, Bayern Munich general manager Hoeness took the initiative to explain that Modric was the most outstanding midfielder in the Croatian League last season. "I and everyone in the technical department believe that he will be a player who brings people success." Surprise player.”

However, the media have interpreted this as Modric is a young midfielder hand-picked by Gao Han.

Entering July, Bayern Munich has also reaped rewards from a series of operations.

When Bayern Munich announced the acquisition of frontcourt attacker Frank Ribery from French Ligue 1 Marseille for 25 million euros, the entire Bundesliga was shocked and marveled at Bayern Munich's amazing skills.

Robben and Franck Ribery will form a fearsome devil's wings. Together with Miroslav Klose on the striker, this is bound to be a very competitive frontcourt trident combination in the Bundesliga and even European football.

But people soon raised questions, because Robben and Ribery are both good at playing on the left, how could they introduce these two players at the same time?

As a result, many people began to speculate on Gao Han's intentions, thinking that the most likely way was to use a 4-2-3-1 play to allow Bastian Schweinsteiger to return to the right. However, some people believed that Podolski was also capable of playing on the right. Road to this location.

While the media and fans were discussing Bayern Munich's lineup for the new season, Bayern Munich made another official announcement, which shocked the entire European football world.

The Bundesliga giant announced on its official website that the team has officially reached a consensus with the Independiente team of the Argentinian Serie A to introduce talented forward Aguero from the Argentine League for a transfer fee of 25 million euros.

Rummenigge said that the introduction of Aguero represents the direction of the team's reorganization. He firmly believes that Aguero will greatly enhance Bayern Munich's frontcourt attack power. He also said that due to participating in the World Youth Championship in Canada, The Argentine youngster will have to wait until the end of the World Youth Championship before he can return to the team.

Similar to Aguero's situation is Real Madrid's Marcelo.

For five million euros, Bayern Munich introduced the controversial Brazilian left-back from Galacticos.

Regarding this transfer, many people questioned Bayern Munich's operation because Marcelo's performance in La Liga was not satisfactory. This was also the main reason why Real Madrid introduced Heinze and Drenthe.

But many people believe that Gao Han is best at using this type of offensive full-back. Marcelo may be able to improve under Gao Han, and after the Brazilian left back joins, Lahm can also return to his right back position.

Immediately afterwards, Bayern Munich announced in a low-key manner that it had introduced young center back Jerome Boateng from Hertha Berlin for a transfer fee of 1.1 million euros. Later, it also purchased young center back Jerome Boateng from Chile for a transfer fee of 8 million euros. Colo-Colo introduced international defender Arturo Vidal, and two transfer transactions were announced at the same time.

The media and fans immediately went crazy, because everyone knows that Bayern Munich's defense problems were very prominent last season. The introduction of two central defenders at this time was obviously to strengthen the team's central defender defense, but in the end Boateng and Vidal Ok?

But as the media dug deeper, the results surprised them.

It turns out that these two players are all-rounders on the defensive line and are good at playing multiple positions, which is a bit puzzling.

But what really caused the controversy was before the team's official training camp. Bayern Munich officially announced that after long-term stalemate negotiations, it finally reached a consensus with Schalke 04, adding Lensing from Schalke for 10 million euros. Zero four was replaced by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately triggered a huge response throughout the Bundesliga. Even many Bayern Munich fans had some doubts about why Lensing was exchanged for Neuer and more money was added?

Although Neuer performed well in the league last season, he only played for one season and could barely gain a foothold. However, Lensing is the successor of Kahn that Bayern Munich has focused on cultivating in the past few years. and potential have been recognized, but because Kahn has not yet retired, Lensing has not had a chance to take over.

Is it necessary to exchange because of this?

Even if there is an exchange, even if there is a subsidy, there is no need to add 10 million euros.

Looking at the entire Bundesliga transfer market, how strong is the purchasing power of 10 million euros?

Could it be that the gap between Neuer and Lensing is so big?

However, doubts from the media and fans failed to stop Bayern Munich's transfer operation. Neuer joined Bayern Munich as scheduled and successfully passed the physical examination by team doctor Wolfat and became a member of the Bundesliga giant.

Hoeness said in an interview with the media that exchanging Lensing for Neuer was a decision made by the club after careful consideration, "because we have enough reasons to believe that Neuer is the most powerful among the new generation of players. A great goalkeeper with the greatest potential, who will be a goalkeeper for us for the next ten years."

Goalkeeper Lensing, who was traded to Schalke 04, also accepted interviews with the media, but did not express his dissatisfaction with Bayern Munich. Instead, he stated that he fully understood the intentions of the club and the coaching staff and firmly believed that he would be able to play at Schalke. Ke Lingsi played well and proved his strength.

But cunning media reporters still captured the information from Rensing's words.

"Michael, you just said that you understand the intentions of the coaching staff, but I am very surprised. Did Gao Han personally talk to you?"

The reporter's question was asked very quickly, leaving Lensing without enough time to think about it, so he nodded naturally.

"Yes, he told me that he sold me not because of my lack of ability, but because of technical and tactical considerations, and he told me that I need more game training. Leaving Bayern Munich will have a negative impact on me." Better development..."

Halfway through Lensing's words, he suddenly realized that he had been fooled.

Opposite him, all the media reporters were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and their excitement was palpable.

As expected, Gao Han coached Bayern Munich!

And he has officially taken office!

This discovery was immediately reported by the German media and soon spread throughout European football and even the world.

All the previous speculations have now been confirmed one by one.

Bayern Munich's entire summer transfer operation was entirely done by Gao Han and was kept confidential, so he has always kept a low profile and retreated behind the scenes.

This approach is completely understandable, because everyone knows how accurate Gao Han's vision is. As long as he is interested in a player, there is no one who is not talented. No matter who he wants to introduce to Bayern Munich, then this player The value will definitely skyrocket.

I would like to ask, in this case, can Gao Han still come forward?

At this point, Bayern Munich can no longer hide it even if they want to.

So soon, Rummenigge took the initiative to announce on the official website that Gao Han would replace Hitzfeld as the team's head coach.

The chairman of the Bayern Munich board of directors said, "I feel honored to be able to invite Gao Han to coach. I firmly believe that under the leadership of Gao Han, we will survive the difficulties of the restructuring period and usher in new development."

At the same time, Rummenigge also said that the team will increase its efforts to promote youth training players, including Hummels, Badstuber, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos and other young players will officially enter the first team. Team.

"I firmly believe that under the leadership of Gao Han, in the new season, we will see a younger, more energetic and more competitive Bayern Munich!"
