2004. The year of the European Cup, the year of the Olympics.

It was June midsummer, and the preparations for 16 European Cup teams were in full swing, and the focus of major European media reports was of course on this.

The Gaul rooster, who is determined to defend the title, the German chariot that is rising again, the Blue-clothed Legion, the Uncrowned King Orange Tulips, the Proud Three Lions Legion England, the Golden Generation shines the last afterglow, the Little Ronaldo first appeared on the international stage, Portugal, the host of the international stage, and the Bullfighter... all have endless news.

However, rumors of the stars' transfers are also rampant. Like every summer, they attract people's attention and touch the hearts of fans.

Milan Sports News: Both Milan heroes are actively contacting Sao Paulo and trying to buy Brazilian super nova Li Cardo. It is reported that Juventus and Real Madrid have also joined the competition.

Turin Sports News: Capello is preparing to bring old player Emerson from Rome, and is also trying to introduce Ajax star Ibrahimovic.

Marca: Real Madrid is preparing for a major purge, intending to introduce Rome's captain Toti and Zamoel, and compete with Milan's two giants for Brazilian star Li Cardo.

Ass: Florentino offered Inter Milan an 80 million euro price to buy Ronaldo, which would break the world transfer fee record if it succeeded.

Daily Sports: Barcelona has invited Portuguese star Deco, who plays in Porto. If the latter joins, it will be the last piece of the puzzle for Barcelona to win the championship.

Echo: Irving's contract renewal has not made any progress and may seek a transfer.

Independent: Everton star Rooney is expected to join Manchester United.

Team News: Chelsea offered a 30 million euro offer for Marseille star Drogba.

Players: Bayern Munich is interested in rebuilding, with Sao Paulo's Brazilian star Li Cardo and Leverkusen's Lucio being their transfer targets.

These dazzling transfer news have different opinions, some even contradict each other, making people at a loss and don’t know what to believe.

For example, Li Cardo was immediately associated with the two Milan heroes, and was almost signed by Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern. It was suddenly reported that Chelsea was interested in him and joined the competition.

It was destined to be a sad summer for fans in Sao Paulo. They let Kaka go last year and are likely to lose Likado this year.

After Kaka left, Li Cardo was already the well-deserved leader of Sao Paulo. He performed well this year and led the team to fight on multiple fronts. In 39 appearances, he scored 38 goals, led the team to defend the São Paulo State Championship, temporarily topped the list in the Brazilian League, and also entered the semi-finals in the South American Liberators Cup. However, in the two rounds of the semi-finals, they were not lucky enough and were tied by Cardas from Colombia. In the end, they lost to their opponents 3:4 in the penalty shootout, missing the opportunity to defend the event.

How could Sao Paulo be willing to lose such a star!

Many fans flocked to Bravoda training base, holding placards.

"Likado, don't leave us!"

"We love you, Likado!"

"Please stay, God gave it to Son!"

Likado was deeply moved, but no one could stop him from leaving this summer to pursue a higher level of football.

Juventusio, the team's sports director, said in an interview: "We did receive a lot of quotes, some of which have activated the Breakdown Terms of Likado, so we have to accept the quotes. But please believe that the club has no intention of selling the leading stars. We are actively negotiating with Likado to find a solution."

This is throwing pressure on Likado.

After discussing with Susan, Li Cardo also accepted an interview: "I love Sao Paulo, I love the fans here, the weather here, and the food here. There are two voices in my mind. One voice tells me to stay and continue to contribute wonderful games to the fans here. The other voice tells me that it is time to leave, and it is time to see the football style recognized and try new challenges. This is a difficult decision. Sao Paulo is a great club, and there are fans who love me here, and it is difficult for me to make a decision, really. I need to think about it again."

Although there was no obvious statement in the words, fans could also understand Likado's hint, and he really wanted to leave.

Thousands of fans signed petitions, asking Likado to stay.

Some fans also believe that Li Cardo has made a lot of contributions to São Paulo. In the past two years, he has played 123 times for the team, scored 124 goals and contributed 69 assists, which can be said to have made great contributions to the team. It is time for him to leave. He is not only the hope of São Paulo, but also the hope of Brazil. He needs to go to a higher level of game environment, improve his abilities, and lead the Brazilian team to the World Cup in the future.

Under his leadership in the past two years, the team has won 5 championships (including the Toyota Cup), and he does not owe Sao Paulo anything.

At the end of June, Milan Sports Daily announced that Li Cardo had negotiated personal treatment with AC Milan and was about to sign a contract. He will join after the transfer window is opened.

Once this news came out, many Likado's relatives and friends and familiar reporters called to inquire.

At this time, Licardo was participating in the training camp of the Brazilian team to prepare for the Copa America.

Faced with the inquiry, he replied: He has not considered the transfer yet and will make a decision after the Copa America.

In fact, he is indeed very close to a club in Milan City, but it is not AC Milan.

But now, I have not yet negotiated with Inter Milan on personal treatment.

Fara suggested that he play Perfect Continental Cup first. If he can perform well in the Copa America, he may be able to increase his advantage in the negotiations and get a higher salary.

Likado performed well at the club level this season, but his performance in the national team was not satisfactory. He participated in friendly matches against Haiti, Ireland, Hungary, France and World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Argentina, with two starts, only scoring one goal against Ireland and Argentina.

This result is not dazzling.

So I can only hope for my performance in the Copa America.

...

In Europe, the European Cup is in full swing. This cup is full of upsets, with heroes emerging. English young player Rooney, Dutch striker Van Nistruei, and French spiritual leader Zidane all performed well. Italy and Spain failed to qualify in the group, Germany was eliminated by the Czech Republic, and the dark horse Greece was darkened to the end.

With the host Portugal losing 0-1 to Greece led by Rehager in the final held at the Lisbon Light Stadium and giving up the championship trophy, the European Cup came to an end.
Chapter completed!
