Christopher Metzelde. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leon has determined the first target, the German central defender is now twenty-four years old, at the age of twenty-one as a main player in the South Korea and Japan World Cup German international, Metzelder is considered the biggest discovery of the German team in the 2002 World Cup, it stands to reason that such a German international level star in the year of play, is not something that Sporting Gijón can touch, however, Metzelder due to an ankle injury in the 03-04 season, the state is average, it is difficult to make a difference throughout the season, and once became a marginal figure of the national team。 And after the start of this season, Metzeld's performance is also average, and it has been rumored that giants such as Real Madrid and Arsenal are very fond of Metzelde, and they no longer mention the introduction of Metzeld, even in the Dortmund team, Metzeld's main position seems to be unstable. A lot of teams are starting to worry about Metzeld's injury, fearing that it will turn Metzelder into a glass man, from a star with unlimited potential to a second-rate star.

However, Leon is aware of Metzelde's future, and although he did not reach the level of the top team in the end, he still has a good future.

Li Ang keenly grasped that now is the opportunity to take the bottom and fish in troubled waters to win Metzelde, whether in terms of strength or experience, Metzelder is an excellent candidate, with this German central defender, even if Hierro chooses to retire after this season, then, Sporting Gijón also has a new central defender on top.

***********

Leon's second target was Thomas Vermaelen.

The future captain of Arsenal, now only 18 years old, although he plays for the Eredivisie giants Ajax, but now he is not too taken seriously, and is currently being loaned by Ajax to the Eredivisie team Waalwijk.

Leon wrote the names of Metzelder and Vermaelen in his notebook, and then, after a thought, added two more goals.

The third target, Vicente Kompany, Belgian central defender, and later the captain of the Manchester City team has undoubted potential, if it can be dug up, Sporting Gijón's central defenders in the next ten years can rest assured, however, although he is only 18 years old, Kompany is already the absolute main force of the Belgian national team, as the main player of the Belgian League A giant Anderlecht, Kompany is with Anderlecht playing in the Champions League, whether he can look at Sporting Gijon, it is really hard to say. Moreover, Kompany is famous, there are many giants who are eyeing this young central defender, and it will be difficult for Sporting Gijón to take advantage of it.

The fourth goal, Leon thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote the name of Raul Albiol, a Spanish local player who later played for Real Madrid, has no particularly outstanding strengths, but is very comprehensive, relatively stable, and still a very useful player when he is young and has a strong impact, and now the nineteen-year-old Albiol is on loan from Valencia, which does not seem to be too important, and Sporting Gijón has no chance of poaching.

Moreover, Albiol is a local Spanish player, and the introduction of Albiol can enhance the attributes of Sporting Gijón's Spanish players, and a team's local players need to have a certain composition to be more stable, which is also a factor that needs to be paid attention to for a team.

Subsequently, Leon will call his assistant Banderas to inform each other of the names and basic information of the four players, and analyze the possible situation of these players in the current club with Banderas as a transfer reference.

He asked Sporting Gijón to ask each of the clubs where the four players belong to see if they are interested in selling them. This is also something that can't be helped, Gijon Athletic is not a local tyrant, there is no money, you can only ask the other party if you have any intention to sell first, otherwise, if you have a rich tyrant, you can directly use the money to smash it, which is more powerful and effective than anything else.

From asking the attitude of the other club to the possible negotiation afterwards, it takes a process, and it will take at least a few days to get the news back.

All Leon could do now was wait.

***********

For Leon's homecoming, Leon's parents were very happy and happy.

I haven't seen my son for more than half a year, and the second elder naturally misses it very much.

Li Ang also cherished the few days when he went home, he put everything down, and temporarily ignored the winter transfer matter, and concentrated on accompanying his parents, and at the same time handling his father's 60th birthday on the 31st.

At this time, in the distant Iberian Peninsula, although the transfer window has not yet opened, the news that Italian veteran Chiesa came to Gijón for a medical examination still attracted the attention of the media, and then Sporting Gijón Club also confirmed their speculation to the media, they have reached an agreement with Serie A team Siena on the transfer of Chiesa, just waiting for the transfer window to open, the transfer deal will be reached.

Subsequently, news spread that Mallorca had brought in Sporting Gijón's backup centre-back Isma in a player-and-cash manner, and reporters also met with Juan Arango and Isma in Gijón and Mallorca respectively, and the deal was confirmed.

Sending away a solid substitute central defender of the team, introducing an attacking midfielder, an old Italian goalscorer, Sporting Gijón continued to make up for the gap in attack, which also made the media realize that they have been waiting to see what Real Madrid and Barcelona will do in the winter transfer market, but, so far, the two giants have not brought in any reinforcements, but it is the promoted Sporting Mahijón, who is currently ranked fourth in the league, has quietly operated on the lineup.

Although it is not yet known how effective Sporting Gijón's signings will be, they have a high-profile momentum in the traditionally lukewarm transfer market.

***********

To this end, La Repubblica has made a special analysis and prediction of the movements of various clubs in the winter transfer period. The pictures that were put in the headlines were the heads of several La Liga giants: Real Madrid coach Luxemberg, Barcelona coach Rijkaard, Valencia coach Ranieri, and Deportivo coach Iruetta, and it is not Atletico Madrid coach Ferrando or Sevilla coach Caparros who can be compared with these four giants, but the promoted Sporting Mahijon coach Li Ang, which shows that the Spanish media is now a little impressed and valued by Li Ang.

According to the analysis in the article, as a new team in La Liga, as well as a team participating in the League Cup, the biggest dark horse in La Liga, Sporting Gijón's start in the first half of the league is fantastic, but the last player ban turmoil also exposed the shortcomings of Sporting Gijón's lack of bench depth, and Sporting Gijón's financial situation is not abundant, and it is not able to support them to spend money happily in the transfer market, so in this case, it depends on how Sporting Gijón head coach Li Ang continues to perform magic in the transfer market and show people his ability to do big things with little money。
