Chapter 451: Winter Transfer Window
Back at the hotel, Li Ang had calmed down and focused his thoughts and attention on work. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This is a hard-willed person, otherwise, it would not be possible to wander alone in Europe for many years, and still persist after suffering so much.
Banderas called to inform him that a player was considering leaving, and Leon was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he was much less surprised.
The clear request for a move was made by the team's striker David Lago.
For David Lago to show his intentions, Leon is not surprising, David Lago in the La Liga last season, in the Gijón Sporting forward position is relatively low, and this season, after the summer of reinforcements, Gijón Sporting's forward strength is stronger, Di Natale and Diego Milito are the absolute main force, Macoul Pihra has Benzema and David Lago, three people compete for the bench seat, of which Magur Pihra is old, but, experienced, distinctive, there is a place, so, David Lago's direct competitor is Benzema, originally David Lago for himself to squeeze out BenzemaIt is confident that he will get more opportunities to play, but it is clear that Benzema has grown very quickly, and now he is a relatively eye-catching new star in La Liga, and David Lago can see that coach Leon appreciates Benzema, so in this case, David Lago knows that his future at Sporting Gijón is bleak.
Leon was well aware of this, so he was both surprised and reasonable to see David Lago's sudden request to leave.
David Lago's skills are average, his shooting skills are average, and his biggest feature is his speed, and Leon also likes this characteristic of David Lago, and the team needs a fast horse in the front line.
However, now, the player himself is more determined, and Leon really can't promise David Lago more playing time, so it's better to get together and disperse.
So, Leon's instructions to his assistant were to magnify the departure of David Lago, of course, this does not mean that he should be dealt with at a low price, if there is a suitable offer, he can naturally let people go, and if there is no suitable offer, David Lago cannot leave.
Leon is giving the decision to the player himself, David Lago wants to leave, and it seems that he should have been in contact with some teams, so it depends on whether David Lago can persuade the 'new club' to make an offer that satisfies Sporting Gijón. Leon and the club will not put obstacles in the way of this transfer, but they can't lose money, right?
***********
David Lago's request to leave the team, Leon is acceptable, after all, the player himself does have few opportunities to play in the team, not much effect, and Sporting Gijón is also about to sign Italian veteran Chiesa, can maintain the depth of the squad in the forward line.
Another player's request to leave the team really caught Li Ang off guard.
The team's central defender Isma expressed his willingness to transfer and leave, although he did not show much determination, but it was already a more euphemistic expression.
This was something that Leon did not expect.
Isma is an important substitute player for the team, and the current main center-back combination of Sporting Gijón is the young Pepe and the veteran Hierro, and the appearance order after these two people is Isma, once Pepe or Hierro is injured, it is Isma's chance to play.
So far this season, Isma has made 15 appearances in all competitions, five of them starts, which should be a good amount of playing time.
Isma's strength is average, there is nothing particularly outstanding, he is a relatively ordinary Spanish central defender, however, he has been playing in the Spanish Second League for many years, and it can also be said that he is experienced, there is such a substitute central defender on the bench, Li Ang is more assured, he does not ask how amazing this substitute is, the substitute of the central defender, as long as he needs to play, can be relatively stable, do not make more obvious mistakes, this is a qualified substitute, from this requirement, Isma is a qualified substitute central defender。
***********
What I learned from Banderas is that there are other La Liga teams that have taken a fancy to Isma, Isma, as an important substitute defender for Sporting Gijón, the biggest dark horse this season, has been conscientious and stable in playing time, and such a player can be fully qualified for the work of a main central defender in other teams, especially in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga.
Isma is eyeing La Liga side Mallorca, who are in terrible form at the moment, finishing second from bottom in the league after 17 rounds of league matches, deep in the relegation zone.
The biggest problem for this team at the moment is that they have conceded too many goals, with 28 goals conceded in 17 games, the most of any team in La Liga. Their centre-back duo of Poli and Cortez has been criticised for a long time, with the media even joking that strikers from other teams will boost their confidence when they touch Mallorca's defenders.
In this situation, Mallorca have been looking for a reliable centre-back who can save the day, and they have finally set their sights on Sporting Gijón's Isma.
Isma has played in La Liga for many years and has a lot of experience, and he is also an important substitute in the current Sporting Gijón team, and his performance in the time he came off the bench was quite good, at least he did not make any low-level mistakes.
In Mallorca's opinion, this is very reliable, an experienced defender who rarely makes big mistakes, and the most important thing is to be able to fight, which is what they dream of.
***********
For David Lago, Leon was able to give the green light and allow the player to leave.
For Isma, Leon is a little hesitant, a reliable backup central defender is very important for a team, he still wants to keep Isma, and the most important thing is that it is now the winter transfer window, let go of Isma at this time, where will he go to temporarily find a reliable backup central defender? !
Therefore, Leon's instructions to Banderas were for the coaching staff to communicate with Isma and his agent again, to keep him as much as possible and persuade him to stay.
Leon believes that he can still persuade Isma to stay, after all, Isma is still relatively important in the team, and there are many opportunities to play, and most importantly, Sporting Gijón is currently in a very good position, ranking fourth in the league, which is not comparable to a relegation team like Mallorca.
Therefore, Leon feels that as long as the club retains it, Isma is very likely to stay.
He simply doesn't have the energy and time to look for a backup centre-back in the winter transfer market. The team is in good shape and can maintain stability, so try not to have surgery.
