Chapter 446: Winter Transfer! (Big Chapter Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Why did Leon fall in love with Real Madrid, just because of his bad relationship with Real Madrid, of course not. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Many things in the world are inseparable from the word interests, and the relationship between Leon and Barcelona has deteriorated after the 'Camp Nou conflict' incident, but I don't see Leon provoking and teasing Barcelona from time to time, mainly because there is no interest and no need. Leon wouldn't mind having a fight with Barcelona if he needed to.
Why Real Madrid?
That's because Leon sees Real Madrid as a direct target, and in fact, these days, Leon has been thinking about Sporting Gijón's position this season.
As a promoted horse, generally speaking, the first consideration is relegation, but obviously Leon's team positioning cannot be relegation, he made a big change to the team last summer, bringing in experienced veterans such as Hierro and Albertini, bringing in Di Natale and Milito and Grosso such as little famous but very practical players, plus young people such as Ribery and Modric, he is ambitious, this is not the configuration of a relegation team.
However, considering that this is the first time that Sporting Gijón has returned to La Liga after many years, Leon's more conservative estimate is that the team will end up in the middle of the table, that is, within the top 10. As a promoted horse, being able to reach the top 10 in the league is already a good result.
Leon's optimism is for the team to finish in the top six and qualify for next season's UEFA Cup. If this can be achieved, it will be the best result of the promoted horses in recent years.
However, now the results of Sporting Gijón have given a big surprise to all Gijón people, including Li Ang, the team once ranked second in the league, even after the twists and turns of the previous ban of Li Ang and many players under his command, the team is still ranked fourth in the league!
Leon had more ideas at this point: if it was possible, why not be able to break into the top four in the league?
As soon as this idea was fermented, it sprouted in Leon's heart, growing like a weed.
***********
In Leon's memory, in the original history, after this season's La Liga season, Barcelona was the league champion, Real Madrid was the runner-up, and Real Betis and Villarreal also finished in the top four.
Of course, Li Ang is not sure that now that he has his own 'crossing', the historical process will not be affected, after all, because of the emergence of Sporting Gijón, it has stirred up some waves in the league, Real Madrid and Barcelona have lost to Sporting Gijón, however, Real Madrid will still be the most direct opponent of Sporting Gijón for the Champions Cup.
If he can cause trouble for Real Madrid and affect Real Madrid's record, Li Ang will naturally be unable to ask for it.
The pride of the young Chinese coach can also be seen here, and now the opponents he attaches great importance to are Real Madrid in addition to the league leader Barcelona, and other teams such as Valencia and Sevilla, Leon will pay attention to, but there are still differences.
***********
Leon did a good job for Real Madrid and Luxemborg, and it really played a role.
Sure enough, the media in Madrid began to discuss the issue of Real Madrid's managerial position. A wave of nostalgia for Real Madrid's former head coach Bosque has begun.
Bosque is widely regarded as the coach who has been able to integrate Real Madrid's stars in its entirety in recent years.
In fact, a team made up of 11 of the best players on the football field is not necessarily the best team. A team is like a complete machine, and different parts require different types of players. Bosque's strength is precisely the ability to appease this group of big stars, while at the same time allowing them to make the most of their ideal position.
In the three years he has coached Real Madrid, Bosque has been able to properly handle the conflicts with Hierro and Morientes, and has been able to keep super substitutes such as Solari, McManaman and Guti always motivated, and can also coordinate the relationship between Ronaldo and Raul on the field, and lead the team to win 2 championship cups, which is a great achievement.
Bosque's tenure at Real Madrid was divided into three phases. The first thing is to solidify the team, then to strive for results, and finally to strive for perfection. Real Madrid fell apart when he took over the load from Tosak, but Bosque miraculously won the trophy at the end of the season. In the following two years, the new purchases of Figo and Zidane both contributed to the league and the Champions League. After Ronaldo arrived, Real Madrid encountered some difficulties, but under Bosque's 'tuning', Ronaldo began to integrate into Real Madrid.
In front of big-name stars, Bosque pursues "going with the flow", but judging from the area where Zidane is active on the field, and from the adjustment of Ronaldo and Raul's positions on the field, Bosque does not rely solely on tactics like Van Gaal, but kills the genius of the star. In tactics and technique, Bosque has reached a balance.
These articles that miss Bosque finally conclude that perhaps Bosque is not the best coach in Europe, but he is indeed the most suitable coach for Real Madrid at the moment.
After these public opinions rose up, the rhetoric about calling for Bosque to return to Real Madrid began to ferment.
This makes Bosque, who is currently at home, very distressed, which can be said to be a no-nonsense disaster for Bosque who wants to take a good rest.
For the initiator of all this, Leon, Bosque can really only smile bitterly, and he is really quite speechless.
***********
Madrid's media were discussing Luxemborg's change of manager, which made Luxenburg and Real Madrid very uncomfortable, and Luxenburg had to stand up and speak, saying that he was confident in the future of Real Madrid, and he remained optimistic about leading the team out of the predicament......
A reporter asked very unfamiliarly: "If your grades continue to decline, will you consider voluntarily resigning?"
Luxenberg had a bad face and chose to avoid the topic: "I never think about what hasn't happened yet. I firmly believe in the future of the team. In the second half of the season you will see a great Real Madrid. ”
Leon's remarks made Luxemberg very embarrassed, and the Brazilian head coach can now be said to be on fire.
D'Agostino, the gold medal commentator of the Spanish national station 3, joked in the football program he hosted: "I dare to say that Luxemberg is very angry now---- if Leon appears in front of him now, the Brazilians will definitely beat him up!"
Leon didn't think about Luxenberg's feelings, he just fired the guns, regardless of the lives of the others.
All he's thinking about is the team's winter moves.
***********
Previously, Sporting Gijón had not won three rounds in the league, and in addition to the reason why Leon was banned, other players were banned, which led to a squad crisis at Sporting Gijón.
In the final analysis, it is the lack of thickness of Sporting Gijón's squad, after the winter break, Sporting Gijón will have to fight on three fronts in the league, the League Cup and the Spanish Copa del Rey.
First of all, in the forward line, in the position of the center forward, there is Diego Milito, and the young Benzema, in addition to the veteran McGur Pichera can be used as a substitute, originally once Milito is injured, Leon will be worried that no player can take on the responsibility, however, Benzema's progress is very fast, which makes Leon have some ideas, he has always felt that Benzema is still too young to take on heavy responsibilities, but, looking at Benzema's growth rate, Leon began to feel that he could add a burden to Benzema and give the French young man more opportunities to play。
Therefore, in the center forward position, Leon still decided to stop moving for the time being this winter and wait until the summer to think about it.
Leon is now thinking about Di Natale, the most indispensable player for Sporting Gijón is Di Natale, and there is no player in the current Sporting Gijón team who can replace Di Natale. Once Di Natale is injured, Sporting Gijon's attacking system will be greatly affected.
***********
He has excellent technique at his feet, good shooting skills, a certain amount of creativity, and his passing organization is not weak, and his speed is not slow. This is what Leon asked for Di Natale's stand-in.
Thinking of these requirements, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh, Di Natale is really a super practical, super cheap player. Such a player only costs Sporting Gijón a transfer fee of 300,000 euros, which is really a cabbage price.
Leon opened his notebook, and there were many names written on it. It's all the names he thinks of in his free time, and he writes them down casually.
Elber, a former Bayern Munich goalscorer, moved from Bayern Munich to Ligue 1 club Lyon two seasons ago, and in the 2003-2004 season, Elber made 27 appearances for Lyon in Ligue 1, scoring 10 goals, and nine appearances in the Champions Cup, scoring three goals. This kind of performance is quite good for a veteran in his thirties.
In the first half of the season, Elber was sidelined due to injury, playing just three games and scoring one goal. It is not very much taken seriously by Lyon manager Roguin at the moment, and Elber has historically left Lyon on a free transfer this winter. Elber is an experienced veteran, both in terms of ability and skill, and such a veteran can enrich Sporting Gijon's attacking routine. In addition, the most important thing is that Elber has a high probability of a free transfer, which is more attractive to Sporting Gijón. The transfer fee saved can be used to pay Elber's salary.
However, Leon's wishful thinking was hit in the face, and the Lyon club directly rejected Sporting Gijón, and even unceremoniously said that they would not consider making any further player deals with Sporting Gijón.
Obviously, having 'cheated' Benzema from Lyon, the Lyonnais can't let go of it and have come to see Leon and Sporting Gijón as non-tradable objects.
"It's still a Ligue 1 giant, it's really a little family. Li Ang scolded indignantly.
He crossed Elber's name in his notebook.
***********
Leon stumbled upon another name, which was not a player with Di Natale's technical characteristics, but it was a player that Leon had always admired, and that was Morientes who Leon had been unable to buy in the summer. In my impression, Morientes, who is firmly in the fourth striker at Real Madrid, performed the saddest farewell of this winter, and it is the most unacceptable fact for a goalscorer not to play! For half a season, Morientes only started once for Real Madrid, and it was in the seven-minute rematch against Real Sociedad, and he only made seven substitute appearances in all competitions...... For the Spanish international and top scorer in last season's Champions League, a move is already the only option!
Compared with the hesitation in the summer, Morientes at this time is determined to transfer and leave, not to mention, Sporting Gijón's current league ranking is higher than Real Madrid, and Morientes will not refuse Sporting Gijon's invitation, so Leon once again tried to ask Real Madrid to buy Morientes, but the result is still NO, Real Madrid, who hates Lejon, refuses to give his players to Sporting Gijón.
Li Ang was depressed in his heart, these giant teams are really small.
***********
Leon's line of sight appeared Deportivo La Coruna's Uruguayan striker Pandiani. Pandiani, nicknamed "Rifle", has already turned against Irueta because of criticism of the team, and now is a good time to start, no, Pandiani's technical characteristics are a relatively pure center, which can be seen from his nickname "Rifles".
So, Leon put a cross in Pandiani's name.
Then, a name appeared in Leon's sight, Anelka!
Manchester City's leading goalscorer Nicolas Anelka is also considering escaping the Maine Road Stadium due to a conflict with Keegan. The French "bad boy" has always been a problem player from Arsenal to Real Madrid to Saint-Germain. At Manchester City, Keegan was unhappy with his boss style, and the Frenchman has said on more than one occasion that he wants to play in the Champions League. So he began to cheat to avoid the game, and Keegan also put him on the bench without mercy. Leon thought about it and shook his head, on the one hand, because this was a thorn in the head, he was really afraid that Anelka would affect the stability of the locker room, and on the other hand, Anelka's agent brother was really insatiable, and Sporting Gijón might not be able to afford Anelka's salary.
However, with the attitude of giving it a try, Leon asked his assistant Banderas to contact Anelka's notorious agent.
