Chapter 264: Stimulated!
Leon first asked Sevilla about the possibility of buying Ramos. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the second half of the 2003/2004 season, Ramos began to emerge as a first-team player in Sevilla, when he was less than 18 years old, in the 2003/2004 season, Sevilla faced Valencia in the key battle for the league title, Ramos was beaten by Valencia in the early opening period because of the help too strong, and Vicente cut into the penalty area from his position to score at a small angle, at other times, Ramos was already able to fight with Vicente on the wing.
Suffice it to say that although Ramos played just seven games for Sevilla FC in the season just ended, the 18-year-old had a tendency to secure his place at right-back in Sevilla FC towards the end of the season.
In the upcoming 2004/2005 season, Ramos has completely become the backbone of the team, mainly playing at right-back, and the right midfielder is Alves and his maturing friend Navas, helping Sevilla build the sharpest right side of La Liga.
At that time, Ramos was fast, physical, skilled, and tireless, and was already a notch above his peers, lacking defensive experience and positional sense. It can be said that for so many years in Spanish football, there have been almost no defenders with strength - explosiveness, speed and technical skills, so Ramos, who is extremely malleable and talented, was quickly hyped and pinned on by the media.
In March 2005, at the age of 19, Ramos played for his country in a warm-up match (against China) and then soon after starting a crucial World Cup qualifier against Serbia. As a result, against Serbia, when the whole team was almost sluggish, only he and Raul showed the most fighting spirit and courage. In that game, Ramos played again and again to the front court to press the ball and directly form offensive opportunities, it can be said that the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger's momentum, which is very in line with Aragonés's temper, so he was quickly appointed as the first choice of the right-back to replace the aging Salgado.
After that, in the summer of 2005, he was favored by Real Madrid, and the nineteen-year-old Ramos, who only played a complete season, was purchased by Real Madrid for 27 million euros, and was successfully selected for the 2006 World Cup squad to play the main role.
***********
Sevilla is a strong team in La Liga in recent seasons, ranked sixth in La Liga last season, Ramos has a tendency to sit firmly at right-back, in this case, Sporting Gijón wants to poach people, it is really very difficult, however, has successfully included Pepe, Leon still wants to work harder, to see if the combination of Real Madrid's Pepegalamos can be copied in Sporting Gijón.
Sevilla's technical director and general manager, Ramón Rodriguez Bedjo, who has been at the helm of Sevilla's transfer reins since 2000 and has successfully developed Sevilla into a famous black shop in La Liga, told Leon frankly, 'You can't afford to buy Sergio Ramos? ’
You see, people don't say they don't sell it, they just say they can't afford it!
This kind of talk is the most hurtful, and Leon and Athletic Gijón are despised in this way. Leon knows Ramón Rodríguez Bedhoe, a gentleman who has been at the helm of Sevilla since then until 2016, before his 'rebirth', and there have been countless successful cases of buying low and selling at high prices for more than a decade.
Four of Ramon's achievements at Sevilla FC were linked to 2003 and 2004, the most notable of which is Reyes, the first jewel of Sevilla's youth academy in the 21st century. In January 2004, at the age of 20, Reyes moved to Arsenal for 30 million euros.
Then there is Baptista, who Sevilla bought from Sao Paulo for 3 million euros in the summer of 2003 and was placed in a midfield position for the next two seasons, scoring almost 50 goals. In July 2005, it was bought by Real Madrid for 24 million euros.
Then there's Sergio Ramos, another of Sevilla's Academy stars after Reyes. In 2005, Real Madrid bought the 19-year-old for 27 million euros, a record for a young player at the time. This seemed prohibitive at the time, but time proved to be a complete success.
Then there's Danny Alves, who, in Monchi's own words, is his "best transfer" in Sevilla. In his first year as manager, Monchi signed him on loan for €500,000 from Brazilian side Bahia. In January 2004, Sevilla paid an additional 850,000 euros to acquire Alves. In the summer of 2008, Barcelona bought the player for 35 million euros, who is considered "one of the best right-backs in football in the last decade".
Obviously, Monchi's vision is very accurate, in his eyes, Ramos, who is now only eighteen years old, is another Reyes, this is a golden doll, how can he sell it now?!
This is the first time that Leon has suffered a setback in the transfer market, he is a little helpless, he is a little angry about the contempt from Monchi, but he admires this gentleman very much, his own family knows his own family, he values Ramos because he knows the future development, however, Monchi is obviously not a 'crossing person', but the Sevilla general manager's vision in the transfer market is admirable.
***********
After being rejected by Sevilla again, Leon turned his attention to McConn.
Because he got the latest news, McCone has not officially transferred to Monaco, although there is news that McCone is only the last step away from joining Monaco, but, after all, there is no final signing.
The frustration of 'seducing' Ramos also made Leon less confident in winning McConn, because compared to Monaco, a French giant, Sporting Gijón is obviously not attractive.
For those very, very young players, he can also attract them by promising consistent appearances. However, for the twenty-three-year-old McConn, Leon was somewhat unsure. You know, Monaco was the runner-up in the European Champions Cup last season.
In this way, Sporting Gijón just sent a direct fax to the Brazilian club Cruzeiro for three million euros to buy their Brazilian defender McConn Douglas Cisenado.
This price is the price that Leon remembers when McCone finally moved to Monaco this summer.
Leon didn't think that this price would impress Cruzeiro, and Sporting Gijón was not very attractive to McConn, but he still sent a fax from the club, without him, this time it could be said to be his vent after frustration, he just wanted to see if he would continue to be rejected, well, although the rejection was certain, he just wanted to taste the rejection again.
Almost at the same time, Leon continued to ask Sevilla for the price, and the target of his price at this time was Alves, who was already the main force of Seville at this time, and it was conceivable that he was regarded as a golden doll by Monchi. It is conceivable that this is still to be rejected and despised.
Leon's move made Banderas and Scottry also feel incomprehensible, anyway, they felt that this person was despised by Monchi...... stimulated.
Sevilla's reply came back almost less than an hour after Sporting Gijón's fax was sent, and this time Monchi replied to the young Sporting Gijón manager in a laughing tone: "Don't make a fuss......
The media, who were waiting to see Li Ang's jokes, began to be lively, making jokes about this matter, sarcastically ridiculing Li Ang and Athletic Gijón, and finally found an opportunity to despise Li Ang, which can be said to be a big rush.
At the same time, an offer from Sporting Gijón was faxed to OFK Belgrade in Serbia and Montenegro, and Sporting Gijón asked for the team's 20-year-old youngster Branislav Ivanovic.
PS: Dear guys, I would like to say that starting tomorrow, most of the updates will be during the day. I'm going to pull myself together. (To be continued.) )
