The Premier League has always been known for its wealth and wealth, and this time is no exception. Manchester United's spending of 30.75 million pounds to introduce Berbatov is not a big deal, because the Premier League hegemon only has this one signing this season. After Scolari took office, Chelsea introduced Portuguese national team right back Bosingwa, Portuguese national team core Deco and German national team captain Ballack. These three people cost them close to 50 million euros; even Arsenal They also spent 12 million pounds to introduce French midfielder Nasri.

Riera, Ronaldo Keane, Dossena, and other introductions cost more than 40 million pounds
As for La Liga, Mallorca achieved a net investment in the transfer market for the first time in five years, while Real Madrid rarely made a net profit - they sold Robinho to Manchester City for 42 million euros, plus Balboa, Granero, Soldado and Baptista, they earned 59 million euros in the transfer market. In terms of signings, they only introduced Argentine central defender Garay for 10 million euros. , brought in Van der Vaart from Hamburg for 15 million, and then repurchased De La Rede and Xavi Garcia. The total cost was only more than 30 million euros and earned more than 20 million euros - for Real Madrid , this is quite rare!
Barcelona went crazy in the transfer market, with 32 million Alves, 15 million Hleb, 14 million Keita, 5 million Pique, 1 Sixteen and a half million C¨¢ceres They spent 90 million euros this summer! The cash out from selling Rodco Zambrotta Jr. and others was less than 50 million. Barcelona is preparing to do something big this season!
And Atletico Madrid and Sevilla also spent a lot of money, but Valencia and Deportivo started to tighten their money. The new season will start in the competition between these teams that spend a lot of money
For Mallorca, their goal for the season is to have no goal - continuing to move towards the Triple Crown is their goal. Although no one thinks they can achieve this, as a newly crowned Triple Crown and Champions League winner, It goes without saying that everyone knows the goals of winning consecutive championships, permanently preserving an authentic Champions League, and being able to embroider the Champions League winning logo on their jerseys. [
Before the start of the season, Mallorca's training camp seemed very calm. The three players who joined knew that they would probably not become the main force. However, they would not lack opportunities, and as soon as they joined the team, they would have the opportunity to become six-time champions. a portion.
Six crowns? That's right, the six-time champion.
"In the 0304 season, we had won the Triple Crown. At that time, I wanted to directly win the Six Crowns that no one had ever won before, that is, continue to win the Spanish Super Cup, Champions of the European Super Cup and Toyota Cupbut in that year's European Super Cup, we performed poorly and lost to Valencia. This made us only become the five-time champion, but failed to create something that has never been achieved before. Records created by people Now, there is another opportunity in front of us, so no matter what, I am not willing to throw away any of the three championships this time! Before the official start of the season, let us get two super Cup, and then move towards the honor of six crowns!" Jose said this on the training ground at the beginning of the pre-season training.
Such slogans immediately mobilized the morale of all Mallorca players.
Yes, winning the Champions League three times in a row is brilliant, but they are only the fourth team to win this honor. The Triple Crown is also brilliant, but they are also the fourth team to win the Triple Crown. There have been teams that have won such honors before, so it's always a pity that they can't be the first.
However, now, they can make up for this regret. In the next half season, they will march towards three championships and become an unprecedented six championships!
For all Mallorca players, this kind of honor, just the statement of "the first six-time champion" team is enough to make everyone tremble!
Mallorca's opponent in the Spanish Super Cup is Valencia, the runner-up of the Copa del Rey, and their opponent in the European Super Cup is Zenit St. Petersburg from Russia. This team unexpectedly finished in the semi-finals last season. They defeated Bayern in the final and then defeated Rangers in the final to win the UEFA Cup.
The World Club Cup will not be played until ten daysIt can start next month, so you don¡¯t have to think about it now.
?Winning these two championships before the official start of the season is Mallorca¡¯s current goal.
Valencia did not make any signings before the start of this season. For head coach Emery, if Mallorca's dream of winning six crowns can be broken, it will be a huge encouragement for Valencia's results this season. .
"Mallorca wants to be the six-time champion? This is not unusual, because this is an honor that all teams want to win. However, their lineup has changed a lot this summer, and the main lineup also needs to be adjusted. We It's not that there is no chance. Four years ago, Valencia was able to break Mallorca's dream of winning six crowns, and now it can also stop it. In the season of 2020, you will see a strong renaissance of Valencia. The revival will start from defeating Mallorca. Lorca begins!¡±
Emery issued a declaration of victory in advance, and their first round match did give Valencia fans hope of revival - sitting at home, they relied on David Villa's goal in the second half to Beaten Mallorca to zero and won the first round!
Everyone in Valencia was ecstatic about this victory. Even though the Spanish Super Cup is not such a great honor, such a victory was so important in the context of Mallorca's desire to win six crowns. It is undoubtedly a great encouragement to Valencia's reputation and will remind people again - Valencia is also a top La Liga team! They also have strong strength, but they just didn't play well last season
"In this game, we are adjusting the lineup Although I want to win six crowns, what I value is the entire season. Don't you see a lot of changes in our lineup? At the Conch Stadium, Valencia will see the real Mallorca!¡±
After the game, Jose didn't seem to care at all, but his words made sense. In this game, Mallorca could be said to have fielded a complete lineup. Except for Riise, who was the main force in the defense last season. In addition, the other three people are all Renhe and last season's substitutes - right back Ivanovic, center backs Thiago Silva and Vertonghen, Pepe and Matias are all substitutes On the table, De Jong and Alonso Kaka were paired in the midfield, and the front trident was also a semi-substitute lineup of Silva, Iniesta and Klose
A week later, at the Conch Stadium, Jose sent out all his main players without breaking his promise.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, center back Matias and Pepe partner, left back Puerta, right back Ivanovic, Senna and Alonso Kaka form the midfield, Henry, Torres and Iniesta form forward.
And this lineup has shown a completely different look and powerful offensive ability from the beginning!
In the first five minutes, Valencia's defense, which had given Mallorca no chance with its excellent defense in the previous game, was torn open by Mallorca. Henry and Kaka made a two-on-one cooperation and broke into the penalty area. After passing the ball back, Torres followed up and shot. One to zero, Mallorca took the lead.
Seventeen minutes later, Torres returned the favor. After receiving the ball in the penalty area, he attracted the attention of two defenders of the opponent. However, he passed the ball out amid the siege. Henry easily flew up and extended the lead to two. ball.
Valencia pulled one point back before the end of the first half. After receiving Villa's pass, Mata broke into the penalty area and pulled the score back to one point, giving Valencia the advantage in the two rounds. However, at the beginning of the second half Soon after, Puerta, who provided the assist, passed a pass to the back point. Iniesta, who followed up from the back point, passed the ball back in front of the opponent's defender. Kak¨¢, who broke into the penalty area, volleyed with his right foot and beat the leading goalkeeper. The advantage expanded to three to one!
Ten minutes later, Kaka passed the ball and Iniesta broke into the penalty area and scored from the near corner. Mallorca was far ahead at 4-1.
Valencia was not discouraged. The offensive combination of Mata and Villa caused a lot of trouble for Mallorca's defense. Finally, in the 70th minute, Mata broke through and assisted Villa to regain a point. , just when they saw hope, Silva, who came on as a substitute, used a beautiful world wave to completely push Valencia into the abyss!
Five to two, with a total score of five to three, Mallorca successfully became the four-time champion when the final whistle sounded
"Two more to go! Two more to go!"
Mallorca fans shouted excitedly in the stands. After winning the Champions League three times in a row and winning the Triple Crown, the Six Crowns have become a hot topic for them to pursue
Jose and the players high-fived one by one - there are still two championships left, I really can't wait, the first team in history to achieve this - such an honor makes Jose even unable to bear it Don't be excited. In fact, the so-called six-time champion is not particularly valuable in itself, but if you add a regularThe championship, coupled with three consecutive Champions League titles, such an achievement is enough to be considered unprecedented!
"Yes, our goal is to win six championships. Is it any wonder?"
At the press conference after the game, Jose admitted this fact: "After winning the Triple Crown, it is strange not to want to win the Sixth Crown, right? Now we have won the Spanish Super Cup. Next, our goal is to win the European Super Cup, and then when December comes, our goal is to win the World Club Cup Every championship will not be easy to win, but no matter how difficult it is, we will win it. We must fight with all our strength, because this is what we must pursue. We had a chance to get it last time, but we missed it. This time, we will not miss it again! Because Mallorca is now the strongest in history. Mallorca, the last team to win the Triple Crown, is even stronger!¡±
