Chapter 937

When the first China City Youth Football invitational tournament was in full swing in China, the 2011 America Cup also ignited the flames of war in Argentina, attracting the attention of the media and fans all over the world.

Host Argentina is in group A with Colombia, Costa Rica and Bolivia.

What I didn't expect was that Argentina, the number one favorite to win the cup, encountered a surprise in the opening match. They drew with Bolivia one-to-one. Messi, Tevez, Higuain and other superstars performed poorly. On the contrary, Aguero, who came on as a substitute, leveled the score in the 75th minute.

This surprised everyone, because both sides, no matter from the overall strength or from the players' lineup, Argentina has no reason to play so badly. It can only be said that after a season of competition, the state of these European stars is generally low.

But it's not absolute.

Another game in group A, Colombia's first game was against Costa Rica. The attack combination of Falcao, Hames Rodriguez and quadelado showed the threat. Hames Rodriguez assisted Falcao to score and finally beat Costa Rica one-to-zero to win the group's first victory.

But in the second round of the group match, Colombia and Argentina played 0-0, and no one could win. On the contrary, Costa Rica beat Bolivia 2-0 and won three points, ranking second in the group.

Is the host Argentina going to go home in the group stage?

In the last round, Argentina and Colombia were both fighting against each other. The former was for the qualification, while the latter was for the first place in the group. Finally, Colombia won Bolivia 3-0 with two passes and one shot from Hames Rodriguez and two goals from Falcao.

Argentina also changed the depression of the first two rounds. With Aguero's scoring twice and DiMaria's goal, Argentina won Costa Rica 3-0 and joined hands with Colombia to qualify from the group.

However, in the three group games, Argentina's centre back Otamendi was very stable and won the unanimous praise and affirmation.

In the other group, Brazil's performance was also low. In the first two rounds, it was 0-0 and 2-2 respectively. Inter's center Adriano was lonely and worried about Brazil's attack.

However, in the third round of the group match, the talented young player Neymar replaced AC Milan striker Pato in the first place. As a result, Santos and Adriano both scored twice, helping Brazil win 4-2 over Ecuador and get through to the top of the group.

This battle makes Neymar famous and can be called the biggest discovery of Brazil national team.

In group C, Manchester City winger Sanchez and Bayern Munich midfield Vidal led Chile to the most eye-catching performance, two wins and one draw from the top of the group, followed by Uruguay's one win and two draws.

Playing for Ajax, Suarez, who has the title of vampire, also had a poor performance in the group stage. He only scored one goal in three games, while the other two strikers, Cavani and Fran, were empty handed and did not score.

Entering the knockout, Colombia drew Peru, who was the third place winner with the best results. As a result, Hames Rodriguez scored twice and helped Colombia beat Peru 2-0 to advance to the semi-final.

Argentina was defeated by Uruguay, who lost the ball in the first five minutes. Although Higuain leveled the score quickly, he was defeated in the penalty shoot out. Uruguay won the promotion right with excellent defense.

Coincidentally, in another game, Brazil played out the attack combination of Adriano, Robinho and Neymar, but failed to break the iron wall of Paraguay. In the end, both sides entered the penalty shoot out, and Brazil lost.

Chile also lost 2-1 to Venezuela in another match and was not promoted.

So far, this year's Copa America is a surprise.

After entering the semi-final, host Colombia ushered in an outbreak, relying on Falcao's hat trick, defeated Venezuela 4-1, and Hames Rodriguez scored a goal and two assists, which made him proud of the game.

In another semi-final, Suarez, who had a poor performance in this year's Copa America, finally ushered in a round of outbreak. He scored twice to help Uruguay beat Paraguay 2-0 and successfully meet host Colombia in the final.

In the final, both Uruguay and Colombia played at a very good level. Suarez scored the first goal, but Hames Rodriguez leveled the score quickly. However, before the end of the first half, Suarez helped Fran to surpass the score again.

In the second half, Uruguay still played very tenaciously, the defense was very well organized, and did not give Colombia the slightest chance. Center Falcao did nothing in the whole game. On the contrary, in the 89th minute, Uruguay took the next step, and Fran scored the goal.

In the end, Uruguay won the title by beating Colombia 3-1 with Fran's scoring twice and Suarez's goal.

After the Copa America, Chelsea center Falcao won the best shooter of the tournament with six goals, but China city's Hames Rodriguez helped Colombia reach the final with five goals and five assists, winning the best player of the season.

Although Uruguay won the championship, it relied on its tenacious defense. Suarez, who played for Ajax, was the best offensive player. The Uruguayan striker, who suffered from the nickname of vampire, also returned to the European mainstream league with his excellent performance in this American Cup.

The biggest discovery of this year's Copa America is undoubtedly Neymar of Brazil's national team.

The talented star scored twice at the critical moment, helping Brazil to advance from the group stage smoothly. Although he failed to perform miraculously after that, this game was enough to win the applause of the whole world, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester United, and many big teams began to pay attention to and pursue this Brazilian talent.

While Asia and South America are at war, the summer transfer market in European football is also surging.

The first to ignite the summer transfer fireworks is the eager Manchester United.

At the end of June, Ferguson announced his team's first move to bring in Phil Jones from Blackburn for 20 million euros.

The 19-year-old has just played an excellent season at Blackburn and was introduced by Ferguson at a high price. He can be competent in the middle and right of midfield and defence. He is a very comprehensive local versatile player.

However, the rival, Chelsea, is also not willing to be outdone. First, they brought in Spanish winger Marta from Valencia at a high price of 35 million euros, and then they brought in center lucaku from Anderlecht at a high price of 30 million euros. They quietly smashed 65 million euros, showing their ambition to attack the Premier League Championship in the new season.

Liverpool have also learned from the bitter experience by introducing winger downing from Aston Villa for 25 million euros and midfield Henderson from Sunderland for 25 million euros. The two transfers cost the Red Army 50 million euros in total. In addition to the massive introduction of centre forward Carroll, Dalglish has been strongly supported by the management.

On the contrary, Arsenal, who ranked fourth in the Premier League last season, have been a bit depressed this summer.

First of all, Nasri, the main midfield, paid a high price of 35 million euros. Clichy, with a transfer fee of 10 million euros, both switched to Manchester City. Blue moon, this season, is still strengthening the main team rather than blindly pursuing superstars.

After Arsenal lost two generals in a row, Fabregas is also negotiating to move to Barcelona, and van Persie may also leave the team, which makes the Gunners hard to resist.

With the Premier League and known as the most purchasing power of the two major leagues in European football, La Liga is also no ambiguity.

Real Madrid will soon announce that they will bring in Benfica left back kontland from the Portuguese Super League at a high price of 30 million euros. Together with Shahin and altentop from the Bundesliga, Real Madrid has just warmed up this summer.

According to the Spanish newspaper as, Real Madrid's board of directors and fans have been dissatisfied with the management's failure to bring in superstars in the past two years. Florentino has made tough remarks on the board that he will win the superstar this summer.

After Fabregas has basically decided to join Barcelona, Real Madrid star's recruitment target is Brazilian genius Neymar, who is brilliant in the Copa America. The transfer fee is likely to exceed 50 million euros.

Neymar is followed by China City talented midfield player Hames Rodriguez.

"The Colombian forward, who has just won the best player award in the Copa America, is highly praised by the technical team of Real Madrid. He is known as the most talented young player among the young generation of European football players. Moreover, he is very familiar with La Liga and his performance in Chinatown is amazing."

"The only obstacle is that China City, which has entered the Champions League this season, does not consider releasing its star at the beginning of the season."

While Real Madrid are still looking for superstars everywhere, Barcelona have made a decisive move.

50 million euro!

Barcelona learned from the previous experience, and finally before the team training, with this summer's highest transfer price, introduced Gunners captain Fabregas from Arsenal.

It's another captain that Arsenal have sold in recent years.

For Fabregas can sell 50 million euro sky high price, the outside world is not curious, because the Spanish midfield star has such strength and influence.

Barcelona cut the summer transfer standard, but the transfer market is still surging.

Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid are competing for Inter's Yaya Toure. With the strength of Inter's midfield players, it is likely to surpass Fabregas and become the transfer model this summer.

Manchester United and Juve are trying their best to recruit Arsenal center Robin van Persie. Both teams are very interested in the Dutch center. If they succeed, they are likely to pay the same high price. After all, Robin van Persie did quite well after his injury last season, and his injury is basically healed, which is worthy of trust.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are also competing for Brazilian talent Neymar, as well as Chinese city field Hames Rodriguez. If they succeed, they are likely to create a high price.

On the contrary, before the summer transfer, Paris Saint Germain, the most concerned Middle East local tyrant after the acquisition, entered into July, in addition to the introduction of Pirlo from AC Milan, just from France's St Etienne for 7.5 million euro price to introduce midfield mattuyidi, and then no news.

In terms of management, Blanco and antro Enrique took office one after another, but the choice of head coach is still in the air.

The French team newspaper first disclosed that the reason why Paris Saint Germain did not participate in the transfer was that the management was waiting for the cold.

The news of high cold coming to Paris Saint Germain has also quickly aroused great concern of fans all over the world.

It is at this time that Gao Han, who participated in the pre-season training of Chinatown in Beijing, finally came to the behind the scenes boss of Paris Saint Germain, Qatar crown prince Tamim.
