Crazy Simeone! 1.8.1 billion buys 9 players, and signs nearly 400 million euros in two seasons, challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona

Since leading Atletico Madrid to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the La Liga championship in the 2020-21 season, this iron-blooded coach Simeone has not been involved in any championship trophy for four years. This is an unacceptable result for the Bedsheet Legion. Last season, although Atletico Madrid spent a lot of money and introduced a group of powerful players such as Alvarez, Gallagher, and Lenorman, they eventually lost their chains in the third-tier sprint stage. The lineup was not thick enough and the substitute strength was insufficient, resulting in a collapse on the entire line, annoyed the bandit coach. So, this summer, Simeone has taken action again, spending 1.81 euros to sign 9 players. From the defense line to the midfield to the front line, all three lines have been strengthened, and they have upgraded in almost all-round and no blind spots, which is really a bit crazy.

42 million euros to sign 23-year-old midfielder Baena

26 million euros to introduce 27-year-old defender Hanzko

24 million euros to buy 23-year-old defender Cardoso

22 million euros to sign new forward player Laspadori

21 million euros to buy 50% ownership of 24-year-old midfielder Almada

17 million euros to introduce 22-year-old defender Lu Jerry bought 22-year-old midfielder Pbill signed 31-year-old goalkeeper Musso, 26-million euros, and signed Italian striker Laspadori, who was free of signings for 30-year-old Lenglet, in contrast, Real Madrid continued the "youth storm" this summer, focusing on youth training; Barcelona is still troubled by financial pressure and has few big signings. Atletico Madrid's lineup upgrade seems mature and pragmatic. New players take into account both combat power and potential, have high tactical adaptability, and have significantly improved the rotation thickness. The two seasons of recruitment are approaching 400 million euros. The lineup is also unprecedentedly strong in recent years. If the new season still fails, his coaching cycle at Atletico Madrid may come to an end. After all, 13 years of long-lasting love ultimately depends on the champion to prosper. For the bandit coach, this big purchase is not only a reinforcement, but also a big gamble, breaking the four-year championship drought and betting on the possibility of direct challenge with Real Madrid and Barcelona. In the new season of La Liga, we will usher in a new "Three Kingdoms Kill" pattern.
