It was foggy in the capital, and the flight was postponed, so Li Ang, who was in a hurry to go home, simply refunded the ticket directly and chose to take the train home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lying in his sleeper bed, listening to the sound of train wheels rubbing against the rails, Leon's mind crossed the Pacific Ocean, crossed the Atlantic, and returned to the port city of the Iberian Peninsula.

He's still thinking about a winter transfer.

Although the winter transfer window did not open until January 1, 2005, in fact, like Leon, many teams have already started to operate player transfers, and it is impossible to wait for the transfer market to open, so the daylily will be cold. In the transfer market, there is a principle: the first strike is the strongest!

The arrival of Juan Arango and Chiesa is largely no longer a problem, and even with David Lago to leave, Sporting Gijón's attacking side continues unabated.

However, the addition of Juan Arango also means that Isma has moved to Mallorca, without such an important backup central defender as Isma, Sporting Gijón must make up for the position of central defender, whether it is the introduction of new signings or internal excavation, in short, there must be an effective solution.

***********

Within the team, Leon once asked Grosso to play a cameo role as a central defender when Pepe was suspended, but the effect was not good, and Grosso, who is used to playing left wing-back, is not used to playing as a central defender.

However, Ivanovic, who is now playing at right-back, can play a cameo role as a central defender, but, after Dorado's injury, Ivanovic is the main right-back of Sporting Gijón, and his performance is relatively good, and even if Dorado returns from injury, Leon will still choose to let Ivanovic occupy the position of the main right-back, not only because Ivanovic has a stronger impact in the right-back position, but also because as a coach there is a universal creed, that is: when a certain position, a certain player performs well, continue to use this player, do not make changes easily！

The form of a player is a wonderful thing, and when a player is in good form, don't take the main position of that player easily, otherwise, the consequences are often serious.

Therefore, although Ivanovic can play as a cameo at central defender, unless it is extremely difficult and there is really no one available, Leon will not let Ivanovic play as a cameo at central defender, or let the Eastern European knife defender continue to develop and play a role in the promising position of right-back.

Therefore, it is not feasible to dig a central defender from within, so there is only one way, and that is to bring in a reliable central defender in the transfer market.

***********

Leon's mind began to have a lot of names in his mind, all the names of the good centre-backs he could think of.

These names are all young players without exception, not because Li Ang has a habit of raising calves, but because those stars who are in their playing years are basically stars who have already become famous, and their strength is naturally good, most of them are playing in giants or major leagues, and the most direct reaction is- The value of these players will also be very high, which is by no means what Sporting Gijón can take now, and even more realistically, even if Sporting Gijón can come up with the transfer fee, the other party may not be able to look at the small temple of Sporting Gijón.

The first name that comes to Leon's mind is Nemanja Vidic, the Serbian star who later played for Manchester United, and now Vidic is only 23 years old, this summer, Nemanja Vidic transferred to the Russian Premier League giants Spartak Moscow Club, the specific transfer fee has not been announced, however, some European media speculate that Vidic's transfer fee must have set a record for the Russian Premier League team to introduce defenders. Of course, as a person who has been 'reborn through the future', Leon knows the transfer fee of Vidic's transfer to Spartak Moscow, seven million euros!

Thinking of the amount of seven million euros in his mind, Leon sighed in his heart, because he knew that if he wanted to 'get involved' Vidic, it was almost useless, first of all, it was impossible for Sparta Moscow to sell Vidic cheaply, and at least seven million euros of capital had to be recovered, and this money could not be taken out by Sporting Gijón. In addition, Spartak Moscow may not be willing to sell, and Vidic may not be able to look at the 'boat' of Sporting Gijón, after all, Spartak Moscow is also a giant in the Russian Premier League, and Vidic is eager to join the giants even if he wants to leave Spartak Moscow. Of course, the most important reason for Leon to give up on considering Vidic in this winter transfer window is that Vidic's home country Serbia and Montenegro are not EU members and Sporting Gijón has no non-European places.

***********

'Reluctantly' gave up on Vidic for the time being, and Leon wrote another name in his notebook: Jerome Boateng.

However, Leon immediately drew a line on the name and vetoed the candidate.

Without him, the later German international and Bayern Munich defender is only 16 years old now, and he should still be in the Hertha Berlin youth team, although Leon is good at cultivating young people, but what he needs now is a player who can recruit and fight, a sixteen-year-old central defender, even if the future potential is good, now neither experience nor strength is enough to play in La Liga.

However, Boateng has a German passport, does not occupy a non-European quota, and has a very good talent, but can be placed on the list of candidates for future consideration.

Subsequently, Leon thought of Thiago Silva, the Brazilian central defender who later became famous at AC Milan, and later the captain of the Brazilian national team, needless to say, is only twenty years old now, and joined Porto this summer, however, if Leon remembers correctly, in Porto, Thiago Silva is not taken seriously, and now it seems that he is still stumbling in the Porto reserve team, and he has not been able to play in the first team at all. This is a good opportunity to poach, but, unfortunately, the centre-back, affectionately known as 'brother-in-law' by AC Milan fans, is Brazilian, and Sporting Gijón has no non-European quota to bring in the Brazilian player.

Therefore, for Thiago Silva, Leon can only make a fork for the time being.

After vetoing Nemanja Vidic and Boateng, and reluctantly dropping Thiago Silva, Leon couldn't help but frown.

There are a lot of names that can come to his mind, but he needs to be an EU player, he needs to be able to fight, and he needs to be willing to play in the 'little temple' of Sporting Gijón, and the team that this player belongs to does not value this young player and is willing to let go. Taken together, there aren't many suitable candidates.

At this time, Li Ang's eyes lit up, his mind flickered, and he suddenly thought of a few relatively suitable candidates......

PS: Speaking of the recent update, I am really tired of being alone with children. Every day at eleven o'clock in the evening, or even after midnight, after the child sleeps, Xiaoqi has the energy to think about code words, start to check information, consider the plot, code words...... Then when I wake up in the morning, it's still a busy day as a daddy...... The good news is that in a few days, the child's grandmother will come to help take care of the child, and then everyone will see a refreshed little seven. Everyone's forgiveness.
