Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid spent 350 million euros to fight for wealth, and Barcelona, which spent a small amount of money, is still a big favorite to win the championship

After winning the domestic triple-champion last season, Barcelona spent 25 million to buy the young goalkeeper Garcia in the summer window. In contrast, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, which each spent 170 million euros to strengthen their lineup, are obviously more eager to change.

I don't know if the young Yamal and the Red and Blue Army led by Pedri can have stronger competitiveness for the championship than Mbawe's new Galaxy battleship and Simeone's Argentina version of Atletico Madrid.

01. It only cost 25 million euros: Barcelona has become strong and strong

a. Building a team around two young cores: Barcelona has 3 people available for each position

The data from Germany can be seen that Barcelona only spent 25 million euros to buy goalkeeper Joan Garcia in the summer window, and loaned Rashford. However, it should be noted that in terms of German transfer, the value of Barcelona's new players exceeded 90 million euros.

It can be said that Barcelona spent a small amount of money, but it strengthened the lineup very well. Rashford can obviously bring more help than Victor and Fati who needed to use last season's forward substitutes.

Plus in the summer warm-up match, Garvey proved that he had truly gotten out of the injury, and there are more and more people available at Barcelona. The team's main framework is very young, and Yamal and Pedri are both in their growth stages.

After strengthening the summer window and promoting Lamacia's youngsters, Barcelona can have at least 3 players available in every position in the new season. Even though Inigor Martinez left, Christensen's return due to injuries last season, which made Barcelona's defense more trustworthy than last season. A regret for Barcelona's summer window is that the team's progress in selling people is not going well. Including the young goalkeeper Peña has not left yet, and Fermin, who has a rumor with the Premier League team, is likely to stay.

Considering that Victor, Valais and Torre left the summer window, they are either first-team marginal players or second-team young men. Without losing combat effectiveness, it was a good result to bring back 26.4 million euros to Barcelona and make the summer window profitable. But you should know that the team is currently in a difficult financial situation, and perhaps it is necessary to have a larger amount of transfer market income.

b. 3 new players: It will bring new tactical changes to Barcelona

As Barcelona's summer window mark, the young Garcia has shown good combat effectiveness in the summer warm-up match. The goalkeeper who successfully saved the first in La Liga last season has a very fast speed in the ground.

For Frick, who plays radically, his goalkeeper must face a lot of single shots and moments of facing the striker. He is very good at defending with his legs and expanding the defense area, allowing Garcia to be more in line with Flick's preferences.

In at least 4 warm-up games in the summer, Garcia's save efficiency when facing a single shot or a forward is still very impressive. His characteristic will bring more help to Barcelona in the new season.

Although the fast speed and flexible turn in Inigor Martinez has been lost, the more flexible goalkeeper and the more stable Christensen have been added, Barcelona's defense should be more reliable than last season.

Of course, Garcia also has his shortcomings. After all, she is only 24 years old and is still a young man among the goalkeepers. In addition, the Spanish youth training is not top-notch after all, and Garcia's attacking pace and hand shape still have many flaws.

There were also some mistakes in the summer warm-up match that should not have been made in intercepting crosses after attacking, and even gave the opponent a chance to play empty goals. This issue requires more caution from Barcelona coaching staff and defense teammates. After all, Garcia is not very good at catching the ball. After hitting the ball, he often goes to the middle of the front of the penalty area. The defender needs to be highly focused to ensure control of the second landing point and the second clearance.

Barcelona's other heavy signing was Rashford, because of his waist injury, which has had a great impact on him in the past few years. Rashford lost the ability to stay and fight in front of the penalty area, and needed to rely more on speed to directly launch an attack after going down the penalty area.

However, Rashford's foot skills are still very good, and he also has certain passing ability. So he can retreat to the middle circle to attack in series, and then back-spin, releasing his advantage in passing and speed. Considering that this Barcelona team's offense and defense are very fast, Rashford's feature will become more useful after coming to Barcelona. In the summer warm-up match, what impressed Rashford was that he took the ball in the middle circle and turned around, then passed the ball and then stepped forward at high speed. Finally, he went to the outside wing to get the ball and assisted Rafinia on the symmetrical side to score.

Barcelona's requirement for the center is to pull back and then reverse the attack. Rashford's characteristics allow him to provide rotation for Lewandowski, which is still very important for Barcelona.

Barcelona has another gain in the summer window, which is to spend 2 million euros to buy the young Valdegi. This attacker has good foot skills and ball control rhythm, which can be Yamal's rotation choice.

In this offensive and defensive transition, Valdeji took the ball and turned around and passed Conde directly, which was quite a bit Yamal's style. Kong De made a cross, and Ormo got the ball in the middle and transferred the back point, but unfortunately Rashford's shot failed to score.

02. Real Madrid, which spent the most money in 6 years: How far is Mbappe from the championship?

a. After many games of crushing defeats: Real Madrid, which has spent the most money in 6 years, was defeated by Real Madrid in three competitions in La Liga, the King's Cup and the Spanish Super League Cup. What's even more shameful is that he averaged 4 goals per game against Barcelona, and was scored 16 goals by the Red and Blue Army in 4 straight-face conversations, making it difficult for Real Madrid fans to accept.

Not to mention being double-killed by Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals, the total score was defeated 1-5. In the Club World Cup, Real Madrid, which had strengthened its lineup, played back and forth with Dortmund and Juventus, and was eventually humiliated 4-0 by Paris led by Dembele and eliminated.

It should be said that Real Madrid can accept losing, but the way they were eliminated in the four major events is really too embarrassing.

It is also for this reason that Real Madrid spent nearly 180 million euros to strengthen the team in the summer window (including the 10 million termination fee paid by Alonso to poach).

The number is the highest in six years. The last time it was higher than this number occurred in the summer window of 2019, when Real Madrid spent 120.8 million euros to buy Hazard and Jovic and other strong players of 63 million euros.

b. After many defeats: Real Madrid, which has spent the most money in six years, had a fatal injury last season, that is, the ability to play in the backcourt is too poor, and something will happen if the opponent presses at a high position. This is exposed when facing Barcelona and Arsenal.

In the semi-finals of the Club World Cup with Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid was brought back two consecutive goals by Dembele due to a mistake in the backcourt ball control, which also became the main reason for the 0-4 defeat.

However, it is worth noting that the key defense line in the summer window, the new players from Wyson and Arnold missed this game, which also made Real Madrid's problem seem to have a solution.

Wysen is an excellent goal-shot center back, but he is still a bit tall and not too flexible. He can take the ball and start the attack, but is not good at getting rid of and dealing with high-pressures.

Just like the passing ball between Real Madrid's two key technical points in the new season this time. Guillail wanted to control the ball, so he was unwilling to clear the ball. As a result, Wyson made a mistake, allowing Riyadh Crescent to complete a shot near Real Madrid's small penalty area, which almost caused a goal conced.

For Real Madrid midfielders, one problem is that Real Madrid's ability to receive high balls and long passes in the frontcourt is relatively weak.

Mbappe, as a nominal center, does not like to compete for headers. He needs his teammates to compete and he finds an opportunity to fight for one. However, only Bellingham has won more than one-on-one win per game on Real Madrid's forward, and he will be suspended at the beginning of the season. Obviously, Real Madrid needs to undertake heavier advancement tasks in the midfield and backcourt.

It is also for this reason that Alonso gave Guillaer more trust after taking office. Obviously, the Spanish coach is more willing to use young people than Ancelotti, and I don't know if Enderick will get the chance.

Young player Gonzalo Garcia, who shined in the Club World Cup, has become a highlight of Real Madrid in the new season.

Although he failed to wear the No. 9 jersey in the end, Gonzalo Garcia's scoring efficiency in front of the goal is worthy of recognition, which is still a very urgent help for Real Madrid.

03. Atletico Madrid, which aims to spend 200 million yuan, will not allow La Liga to be a duo. Atletico Madrid targets to spend 200 million euros: to build "Atlantico Argentina"

If it would not be surprising that Real Madrid invested the highest transfer funds in six years, then Atletico Madrid's recruitment expenditure of more than 170 million euros was beyond the expectations of many people.

What is even more surprising is that Atletico Madrid has started its pursuit of Juventus' Argentine international Gonzalez. Then he finally successfully bought it, with a total expenditure expected to exceed 200 million euros.

After buying Almada and Gonzalez, and Alvarez and Giuliano Simeone, Atletico Madrid can fully play the Argentina attack line when he rests in Griezmann in the new season.

Gonzalez performed poorly at Juventus last season, which was significantly lower than his due level. In this case, Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to win. After all, he is only 27 years old. As a marginalist in the Argentina national team, he obviously hopes to prove himself that Gonzalez is likely to rebound next season.

b. New players generally lack experience in Champions League: Simeone has become the key

Judging from Atletico Madrid's new players' roster in the summer window, most of the players are in their ages, between 22-27 years old. However, several high-priced new players, such as Baenna, Almada and Cardoso, have no experience in playing in the Champions League.

They are relatively young and are in a rising period of their careers. Their debuts in the Champions League and Atletico Madrid in the next season will determine what heights they can reach in the future.

However, the players are relatively young, have strong plasticity, and there are also many uncertainties, so coach Simeone needs to be effectively trained. Considering that Simeone is not particularly successful in cultivating young people, the future development needs to be paid attention to.

also includes Hanzko. He originally planned to go to the Sandy Vocational Union to "super retirement", but because the other party went back on his word, he came to Atletico Madrid to "start a business." At the age of 27, will he become Atletico Madrid's Van Dijk? This former Slotte favorite has the opportunity to write his counterattack legend.

In addition, Atletico Madrid has another highlight, which is how Griezmann and Alvarez coexist. In fact, whether it was Atletico Madrid last season or the Argentina national team, Alvarez proved that he could already stand alone and lead the team to play a very dynamic and efficient winning system.

Griezmann has his value and is also an Atletico Madrid totem player. Beside Griezmann, Alvarez also knows how to play the role of a deputy. I just don’t know whether Griezmann will decline this season, which may be one of the key points that determine whether Atletico Madrid can compete for the La Liga championship.

Conclusion:

Perhaps in the end, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will spend more than 400 million euros in the summer window, but the current combat effectiveness may not be as good as Barcelona, which only spent 25 million yuan..

But the charm of the league lies in the long season, and the impact of injuries and condition will make a team unrecognizable. Last season, Flick's team also suffered a dilemma of losing to relegation teams in succession. No one can guarantee that Barcelona will be in a stable state in the new season. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid also have the opportunity to win the championship.
