The 2002 KoreJapan World Cup was a highly controversial World Cup, but it also created countless classics. Ronaldo led Brazil to win the Hercules Cup for the fifth time, and he himself won the Golden Boot with 8 goals.

With the outstanding performance of Kahn and Ballack, Germany's teenager Miroslav Klose successfully entered the World Cup finals, but the powerful French team was eliminated in the group stage. In order to help Real Madrid compete for the Champions League, Zidane had to Facing the end of the World Cup injury.

The four-year grand event has come to an end, and the summer transfer window has opened as scheduled. The major clubs are scrambling to **** the players who performed well in the last season and the World Cup.

The news that first detonated the football world was Ronaldo's transfer. The "alien" will come from Inter Milan to Real Madrid at a price of 45 million euros.

Although Ronaldo has performed poorly in Serie A in recent years and often suffers from injuries, his outstanding results in the World Cup in Korea and Japan still illustrate his dominance.

Some media couldn't help expressing emotion, why did Inter Milan let him leave at such a low price? You know, last year Zidane's transfer fee could be as high as 64.5 million euros.

For this reason, the French "L'Equipe" reporter asked Ronaldo when he interviewed: "Is this transfer because of your discord with Inter Milan coach 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 buddies, okay. I am still very grateful to him. Without him, I can't get To last season's league title."

"As for why I left Inter Milan, it's because I've been injured all these years, maybe a different environment would be better? Haha, I want to make some new attempts and challenges."

Ronaldo, who left after winning the Serie A championship, was obviously in a good mood, and the old grievances and grievances were wiped out.

Inter Milan president Moratti said in an interview: "Ronnie's departure is a pity, but professional football is like this."

Regarding the new season, he said with great anticipation: "We have the best striker in Serie A, and he is still so young. I believe that under the leadership of Wang Feng, Inter Milan will definitely achieve better results."

In Serie A, Fiorentina went bankrupt and were relegated, while Parma and Lazio were in deep financial crisis. The era of the "Seven Sisters of Serie A" seems to have passed, and the "three heroes of the north" AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan formed a tripartite confrontation.

The iconic event is that the former championship clubs sold off the core of their teams. First, Lazio sold their team captain Nesta to AC Milan for 31 million euros.

Then they put Crespo, who once won the Serie A Golden Boot, on the sale table. The potential buyer is Inter Milan. Originally, the Nerazzurri planned to win the center forward, but Wang Feng's almost crazy firepower output last season Successfully cured Moratti's "center forward" habit.

So Crespo lingered in the transfer market for a long time, but still failed to find a home. Finally, half an hour before the closing of the transfer window, Chelsea won it at a price of 20 million euros, which was already the highest they could offer. price up.

Parma sold their captain, Great Wall Cannavaro on the defensive line, to Inter Milan for 23 million euros.

It's not just the small and medium-sized clubs in Serie A who are selling their cores. Many such things have also happened in European football.

For example, Leeds United, which was in a financial crisis, sold the defensive core Ferdinand to the Red Devils Manchester United for 46 million euros. His transfer fee was even higher than Ronaldo, which caused discussions in many media for a while.

In addition, Bayern dug Leverkusen's midfielder dual-core Ballack and Ze Roberto under his command. This behavior almost dismembered the opponent, and Leverkusen's threat to Bayern in the new season has been greatly reduced.

From these transfers, it can be seen that after the small and medium-sized clubs have suffered economic shocks, they have to choose to sell their core, and these players are bound to gather in the giants, and eventually form a "class bully".

Another controversial transfer news is that Barcelona chose to terminate the one-year contract with Rivaldo in advance and sweep him out. The former Nou Camp king can only leave secretly and join AC in the form of free transfer. milan.

No one could have imagined that this hero who had just conquered Brazil in the KoreJapan World Cup would end up like this. Spain's "Aspen" disclosed that it was Van Gaal who drove Rivaldo away. The bad relationship between the two is well known , Rivaldo is not an easy to tame player, which undoubtedly led to the end of this "one shot and two pieces".

The "Athletic" regrets that Rivaldo will never be able to wear the Barcelona jersey again. The newspaper wrote: "Rivaldo's departure is a tragedy, just like Maradona, Romario and Ronaldo. , Barcelona can't keep their best stars."

"Maradona and Ronaldo said when they left that Mr. President did not intend to have me, and Rivaldo would say the same thing as them."

"Sword Comes"

In order to calm the anger of Camp Nou fans, they quickly gave an alternative plan, which was to sign the 24-year-old Argentine midfielder Riquelme.

He won the Argentine Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years and the 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 in one go, forming a luxurious lineup.

Obviously last season's defeat has freshened their memories, and club manager Stewart Kund had to do something to appease Berlusconi's anger.

As for the Brazilian striker Kaka he mentioned before, he didn't get enough playing time in the KoreJapan World Cup, which made him feel that his strength is not enough, and finally decided to stay in Sao Paulo for another year.

Inter Milan did not do much in the transfer market. They bought Cannavaro from Parma and swapped Seedorf, who had been unable to play last season, with AC Milan. The goal was the Italian international Koko. .

At the same time, in the form of a free transfer, the 28-year-old Italian defender Adani was signed. He originally belonged to Fiorentina, but due to the bankruptcy and relegation of the Viola last season, all players were allowed to transfer freely.

Adriano, who returned to Inter Milan from Fiorentina, still couldn't get the main position in the team, so the club sold him to Parma, but they had the priority to buy back.

All in all, Inter Milan has further strengthened the strength of the back line, while for the front line, they rely more on Wang Feng.

In terms of Asian players, Shunsuke Nakamura of Japan joined the newly promoted Reggina in Serie A on loan, while Ahn Jung-hwan of Perugia failed to transfer to West Ham United.

China's Li Tie joined Everton in the Premier League based on his outstanding performance in the KoreJapan World Cup, while Sun Jihai continued to stay at Manchester City. The "Chinese Derby" between the two sides is highly anticipated by domestic fans.
