<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > money paves the way to legend</h1>
When the raft of time drifts into the second decade of this century, the wind of gold dollar football has become more and more intense, and the rise of the giants and the rise of the new upstarts, and behind all this, there is only the word money.
Italy's economic recession has made the "small World Cup era" a corner of memory, the heavy investment of Madrid and Barca has taken off again in La Liga, and the evolution of the Premier League from TOP 4 to BIG 6 is inseparable from the support of money.
Today's football is actually a game with greenery as a chessboard and money as a chess piece. And in the decade of 2010-2020, who is the "chess player" with the most "chess pieces"?

The 61-year-old Italian coach is the most expensive head coach in this Top 10 list, and the one with the fewest championship honors. Since his appearance in the coaching staff in 1996, he has won 1 Europa League and 1 Serie A title in only the last two years.
Sarri's 600 million euros were also spent when he coached Chelsea and Juventus. Last July, the Bianconeri brought De Ligt from Ajax for a deal that cost €85.5 million.
At the end of the season, Sarri said goodbye to Juventus, where his tactical reforms did not work, and this short and bad experience also portended that he might not be able to qualify for any big club position in the future.

"Chilean engineer" Pellegrini has managed two giants, Real Madrid and Manchester City, in his more than three decades of coaching career.
Although the front-end experience was not good, in the years of the Blue Moon Army, he led the team to 2 League Cups and 1 Premier League.
In this decade, seven of the top ten players in Pecon's transfer fee ranking have been signed during the Manchester City period, of which De Bruyne, Sterling, Fernandinho and Otamendi are all signed for the Blue Moon when he is in charge.
It is worth mentioning that in the happy years when he coached the Chinese Super League team Huaxia, he spent 20.44 million euros to sign Zhang Chengdong from Beijing Guoan, which also ranked 14th in the transfer fee of Peigong in the past decade.

In August 2017, Greater Paris signed Neymar for 222 million euros, the most expensive and successful signing of Emery's entire career, although he was not the one who could influence the outcome of the deal.
Interestingly, since Wenger's departure, Arsenal seem to have suddenly become richer.
In the 2019/20 season, this red touch in North London totaled 152.4 million euros in the transfer market, setting the biggest season they have invested since entering the 2010s, and the Gunners, who have always been known for their "slashing", are eager for a change in the team.
Contrary to expectations, Emery did not bring good results. If it weren't for the new coach Arteta's firefighting and the end-of-season FA Cup title, it would have been the Gunners' worst season since 1995.

Valverde's top 15 transfer fees list in the past decade are all signed players during his time at Coach Barca.
And Coutinho (145 million euros) at No. 1, Dembele at No. 2 (138 million euros) and Griezmann at No. 3 (120 million euros) together account for 49.88% of Valverde's total transfer spending in the past decade.
Since Bartomeu became Barca's president, the red and blue team's financial management and transfer operations have generally been poor, of course, this is not Valverde's responsibility, although he is in the manager's position, but he is not the person who can decide the outcome of the transfer.
Combined with the rumors of corruption in Bartomeu that broke out yesterday, it is not difficult for us to find the clues in the middle.

Whether in the Chelsea era or today's Inter era, Conte has brought success to the team.
This season, Conte's Nerazzurri did not win a title, but the results of the Serie A and Europa League runners-up and the team's performance on the pitch still let the dawn of revival shine into Meazza.
He'll be the right guy for Inter, it's just going to take time.

In the list of signatories for ten years, it is not difficult to find bell, James, Torres, Isco, Hummels, Tiar Silva and other familiar names, their status after joining their respective teams has fluctuated, but they are all successful transactions.
Now, the Italian, who teaches at the Toffee, will renew the frontier with James, who is depressed under Zidane, and if the deal is finally completed, Ancelotti's ten-year transfer expenditure should exceed the 1 billion mark.

The Legion of Sheets, which represents madrid's civilian class, always gives the impression of grassroots football. But now, after years of painstaking management by Simeone and the top management, they are no longer a civilian team.
Last season, Simeone's long-brewed blood exchange plan was officially launched, and the Bedside Legion sent away the core of the team such as Griezmann and Godin, and spent 250 million euros to bring in 8 new signings, who are eager to relive the fairy tale of 6 years ago.
Such a drastic transformation is bound to bring about a painful period, and Simeone at the beginning of the season was once on the verge of graduation. In this impetuous society, people always take it for granted that investment will bring immediate returns, which is why the frequency of coaching changes in teams today is so absurd.

In a decade, Allegri brought 84 new players to Juve and Milan, more than twice as many as Sarri. Others win by quality, but Uncle 囧 wins by quantity.
Of course, this is a joke.
In Uncle 囧's reinforcement list, there is no shortage of heavyweight transactions such as 117 million euros of Ronaldo C and Higuain of 90 million euros. However, in addition to these two, his other transfer fees are more than 50 million euros.

Despite the bumps in the road to coaching in recent years, you can't deny that Mourinho is still one of the most successful managers of the 21st century.
For the Portuguese, there is always a misconception that his team will only defend and fight back. But the truth is that in the early Portuguese period, he put forward a tactical concept of "recovery in possession", and used it to bring great success to Benfica and Porto.
In the negative public opinion, Mourinho, who is described by the outside world as a "money-burning maniac", is actually only Pogba (105 million euros), Lukaku (84 million euros) and Fred (59 million euros) The amount of these three transfer transactions exceeded 50 million euros.

In addition to signing Villa for Barca in July 2010, the top 9 of Guardiola's top 10 transfer fee list in the past decade have all been signed for Manchester City. The Blue Moon Legion's silver glow is full of man's city, and money is the maximum energy of this full moon.
Today, Guardiola's trip to England was a success. Not only did he lead Manchester City to two Premier League titles, but he also proved that in England, where the big guys are everywhere, passing football can also take its place.
Football tactics have never gone out of style, and the era of high-level pressing full-attack and full-defense mainstream tactics we are experiencing today is the same era of free-centered forward tactics that prevailed around 1930 that relied on the physical strength of players. This also explains why most of the new stars that have emerged in football in recent years are black players.
In today's giants, the emergence of positions such as football director has greatly weakened the manager's power to recruit reinforcements, and most of the managers in this top 10 list do not have the right to decide on transfers.
In this game, they are indeed chess players, but they are also marionettes manipulated by invisible silk threads.
