Capítulo 129: Chapter 129
The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup was a controversial World Cup but also produced countless classic matches. Ronaldo led Brazil to win the Hercules Cup for the fifth time and he himself also won the Golden Boot with 8 goals.
Thanks to the excellent performances of Kahn and Ballack, German teenager Miroslav Klose successfully reached the World Cup final, but the powerful French team was eliminated in the group stage. To help Real Madrid compete for the Champions League, Zidane had to deal with his injury at the World Cup.
The 4-year big event has ended and the summer transfer window has opened as planned. Big clubs are scrambling to sign players who performed well last season and the World Cup.
The first news that shocked the football world was Ronaldo's transfer. "Alien" will move from Inter Milan to Real Madrid for 45 million euros.
Although Ronaldo has had poor results in Serie A in recent years and is often injured, his outstanding results at the World Cup in Korea and Japan still demonstrate his dominance.
Some media couldn't help but express their emotions, why did Inter Milan let him leave for such a cheap price? You know, last year Zidane's transfer fee could be up to 64.5 million euros.
For this reason, the French journalist of "L'Equipe" asked Ronaldo in an interview: "Is this transfer due to your disagreement with Inter coach Milan Cooper and the new offensive core Wang Feng So you left angrily?"
Ronaldo said: "There are some differences between me and Cooper, but not to the point of life and death. As for Wang Feng, please, we are good friends, okay. I'm still very grateful to him. Without you Yes, I will do it." failed to achieve the championship title last season.
"As for why I left Inter Milan, it was because I was injured all these years, maybe a different environment would be better? Haha, I want to try new things and take on new challenges.
Ronaldo, who left after winning the Serie A championship, is clearly in a very good mood, old resentments and grievances have been erased.
Inter Milan President Moratti said in an interview: "Ronnie's departure is a pity, but professional football is like that."
About the new season, he spoke very impatiently: "We have the best striker in Serie A, and he is so young. I believe that under the guidance of Vuong Phong, Inter Milan will definitely achieve better results."

In Serie A, Fiorentina went bankrupt and had to be relegated, while Parma and Lazio were in serious financial crisis. The era of the "Seven Sisters of Serie A" seems to have ended, the "three northern heroes" AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan have formed a three-way confrontation. The symbolic event was that former Championship clubs sold the core of their teams. First, Lazio sold captain Nesta to AC Milan for 31 million euros.
Then they put Crespo, who won the Serie A Golden Boot, on the sale table. The potential buyer is Inter Milan. Originally, the Nerazzurri intended to acquire a central striker, but Wang Feng's almost crazy firepower last season successfully cured Moratti's "central striker" habit. Crespo therefore lingered for a long time in the transfer market but still could not find a place. Finally, half an hour before the transfer window closed, Chelsea won it for 20 million euros, which was already the highest they could offer. price increase.
Parma sold defense captain Great Wall Cannavaro to Inter Milan for 23 million euros.
It's not just small and medium-sized clubs in Serie A that are selling their core players. Many things like this have also happened in European football.
For example, Leeds United, in a financial crisis, sold defensive mainstay Ferdinand to the Red Devils Manchester United for 46 million euros. His transfer fee was even higher than Ronaldo's, which caused a lot of discussion in many media for a while.
In addition, Bayern also trained Leverkusen's dual-core midfielder Ballack and Ze Roberto under him. This behavior has almost divided the opponent and Leverkusen's threat against Bayern in the new season has been significantly reduced. From these transfers, it can be seen that after small and medium-sized clubs encountered an economic shock, they had to choose to sell their core, and these players would have to regroup into giant, and eventually formed a "class of tyrants". .

Another controversial transfer news is that Barcelona chose to terminate Rivaldo's contract one year in advance and send him away. The former king of Camp Nou can only secretly leave and join AC on a free transfer. Milan. No one could have expected that the hero who had just conquered Brazil in the Korea-Japan World Cup would end up like this. Spain's Aspen newspaper revealed that it was Van Gaal who kicked Rivaldo out. Everyone knows the bad relationship between the two, Rivaldo is not an easy player to tame, this certainly led to the end of this "one shot, two shots".
"Athletic" regrets that Rivaldo will never play for Barcelona again. The newspaper wrote: "Rivaldo's passing is a tragedy, like Maradona, Romario and Ronaldo. Barcelona cannot keep its top stars."
"Maradona and Ronaldo said when they left that the President had no intention of recruiting me and Rivaldo would say the same things as them."
"The Sword Comes"
To appease the anger of Camp Nou fans, they quickly came up with an alternative, which was to sign 24-year-old Argentine midfielder Riquelme.
He won Argentina's Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years and South American Footballer of the Year, helped Boca Juniors win the Copa Libertadores twice and was hailed as the future of 'Argentina~www.mtlnovel. com~Milan became the biggest winner. in the transfer market, they signed Rivaldo, Seedorf, Thomasson, De La Berna, Simic, Nesta and other stars, forming a luxurious squad.
Apparently, last season's defeat had jogged their memories and the club's manager, Stewart Kund, had to do something to appease Berlusconi's anger.
As for the Brazilian striker Kaka he mentioned earlier, he did not have enough playing time during the Korea-Japan World Cup, which made him feel that his strength was not enough, and eventually decided to stay in Sao Paulo for another year.
Inter Milan has not done much in the transfer market. They bought Cannavaro from Parma and traded Seedorf, who couldn't play last season, to AC Milan. The goal was Italian player Koko. .
At the same time, on a free transfer, 28-year-old Italian defender Adani was signed. It was originally owned by Fiorentina, but due to Viola's bankruptcy and relegation last season, all players were allowed to transfer freely. Adriano, who returned to Inter Milan from Fiorentina, still could not get a main position in the team so the club sold him to Parma, but they were given priority to buy back.
Overall, Inter Milan has further strengthened the backline, while for the forward line, they rely more on Wang Feng.

Regarding Asian players, Japan's Shunsuke Nakamura joined newly promoted Serie A side Reggina on loan, while Perugia's Ahn Jung-hwan was unable to move to West Ham United.
China's Li Tie has joined Everton in the Premier League thanks to his excellent performance in the Korea-Japan World Cup, while Sun Jihai continues to stay at Manchester City. The "Chinese Derby" match between the two teams is eagerly awaited by fans across the country.
