【Now Sports】Watching Chelsea spend 323 million pounds in the winter transfer window to introduce 8 players, the cost is more than the sum of all clubs in the four major leagues of La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

As for whether success can be bought with money? I am very skeptical. If the loan players are included, there are as many as 75 players in and out of Chezi this season. Today’s football emphasizes overall cooperation, and a large number of new players join in the middle of the season. It is very difficult to cultivate a tacit understanding in a short period of time. What’s more, for Pak Da, who has only won two games in the past 12 league games after the honeymoon period, this test is very difficult. Fortunately, unlike Aubameyang and Gunnibali, who signed in at the beginning of the season, who are over 30 years old, recruits such as Ansu Ferrandis and Medili are only 21 or 22 years old, and they are long-term investments. Somebody can kick out their social status, and maybe they can sell it at a high price in the future; however, how much “water level” can there be for Fang Zhong Ansu, who is worth more than 100 million pounds?
This week, the league can only draw 0:0 with Fulham. The fans can’t help asking: Why can’t I buy a reliable striker after spending 600 million? In contrast, Newcastle, another wealthy club, has only 30% of the transfer expenditure this year compared to Che Zai. If you have money, you must also know how to spend it. If you want to “buy” to succeed, you need vision and strategies in addition to money.
