Chapter 454: Mallorca's Attitude

Dubbed a 'Venezuelan national treasure', Arango is a creative attacker who can play both in midfield and up front, and his passing and shooting are spectacular. Pen & Fun & Ge www.biquge.info is particularly good at set-pieces and long-range shots, especially after a few seasons in the European League, his footwork has been perfected, his left-footed kick has both Beckham's arc and Carlos's power, and Juninho's deceptiveness, for a period of time, Arango's free-kick move went wild, so much so that the Spanish media even exclaimed that Arango was simply taking a free kick as a penalty.

The more Leon pondered, the more he felt that this Arango was really a treasure.

Arango's passing and organizational skills are good, although they may not reach the level of a master, but they are also the level of a first-class star, not to mention, Arango's long-range scoring ability will also make Sporting Gijón an important means of scoring.

In Leon's memory, Arango has scored a lot of amazing fairy goals in La Liga and the Bundesliga.

Therefore, Leon immediately made up his mind and used this opportunity to recruit Arango under his command.

Take advantage of Cooper and Mallorca's thirst for Isma to get Arango as a general.

As long as Cooper nods and agrees to the deal, as for the attitude of the player himself, Leon thinks that it is not a big problem, although Mallorca is an old fritter team in La Liga, which is much older than Sporting Gijón, a promoted horse who returned to La Liga after many years, but Sporting Gijón is now a dark horse storm set off by La Liga, the biggest dark horse in La Liga this season, Sporting Gijón ranked fourth in the league, and Mallorca, ranked nineteenth in the league, which one Arango will choose, the answer is self-evident, not to mention, Sporting Gijón has reached the knockout stage of the League Cup, and there are European competitions to play。 Naturally, this can also be a bargaining chip for Leon.

***********

Mallorca training ground, in the manager's office.

Cooper shook his head at the rest of his coaching staff, "He rejected us!" Although Leon did not explicitly refuse, saying that he would consider it, but, in Cooper's opinion, it was a tactful refusal.

"Of course. Assistant coach Iguodala said, "Sporting Gijón is in good shape and results at the moment, although Isma is not the main player, but he is also an important player for Sporting Gijón, and they cannot let Isma go at this time." ”

The rest of the coaching staff nodded in agreement.

Cooper paced anxiously back and forth in the office. Is there no way to do it?"

"What else can be done? Héctor, in fact, I didn't approve of you buying Isma from the beginning. Iguodala shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, he and Cooper are old partners, so he spoke more casually, "This trade is difficult. ”

"However, Isma is the most suitable choice at the moment. Cooper stopped and knocked on the table, "The team is very bad defensively, we have to defend well first, a reliable centre-back is the premise of all this, there is no time to waste in the winter transfer, it is difficult to come across such a suitable player......"

Cooper looked agitated.

***********

Iguodala can understand Cooper's mood right now, and knows he's eager to make some achievements to prove himself. And Mallorca, as the place where Cooper became famous, obviously has a special meaning for Cooper.

Cooper was unknown as a player and rose to prominence as a professional coach in the 1992/1993 season.

The 37-year-old has just started coaching Juracán in the Argentine First Division. From 1995 to 1997, Cooper coached Lanús. From 1997 to 1998, he was the coach of Mallorca, leading Mallorca to a runner-up finish in the Copa del Rey that year, and then reaching the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup, but ultimately lost to Serie A giants Lazio in the final.

In the summer of 1999, Cooper took charge of La Liga giants Valencia, and in 2000 and 2001, the Bat Army reached the Champions League final twice, but lost to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and finished runners-up for two years in a row.

Subsequently, Cooper coached Serie A giants Inter Milan, although he was later sacked, but during his time at Inter Milan, Cooper led Inter Milan to almost win the league title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Inter of those 2 years was almost the strongest Inter before the phone gate, after the 90s of the last century.

If Li Ang wants to use one sentence to describe Cooper's tactics, it is to focus on defense and counterattack, the style of play is ugly, and the results of playing with strong teams are very average, but he is very powerful when he abuses vegetables.

After being sacked by Inter Milan, Cooper was disheartened and finally decided to go back after more than a year at home, choosing Mallorca, where he became famous, and naturally wanted to regroup in this blessed land.

It is precisely because of this that Cooper is a little impatient, and in his tactics, the defense comes first, and the importance of the central defender is undoubted.

Cooper does admire Isma very much, and a coach like Cooper is very stubborn, and if he is optimistic about a certain player, he will be very firm in his choice.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang, and Cooper glanced at the caller number, showing a surprised expression, and then his face changed, and he quickly picked up the microphone.

"Hello, Mr. Cooper, I have a trading plan here, how about you take a look?"

On the other end of the phone came the voice of Sporting Gijón head coach Li Ang.

***********

Hanging up the phone, Cooper's face showed a thoughtful look, but the joy was undisguised.

"How's it going?" Iguodala asked, and the others looked over eagerly.

"Leon came up with a player-and-cash deal. Cooper said.

"Players plus cash trade?" everyone was stunned.

"That's right, they offered Juan Arangoga 1.5 million euros in exchange for Isma. Cooper said.

Hearing Cooper's words, everyone began to think about the pros and cons of this plan.

"Juan Arango joined on a free transfer. Iguodala spoke first, "The Venezuelans have been average for half a season. Why did Leon fall in love with Arango?"

"Why did he fall in love with Arango, it doesn't matter. Cooper waved his hand, he didn't have time to pay attention to the other person's thoughts, "What we're going to discuss now is, is this trade plan advisable?"

"I think it's doable. A member of the coaching staff said, "Arango's performance is very average, I don't see anything special, the Venezuelan looks like it is difficult to adapt to the Europa League, anyway, when Arango was introduced, it didn't cost a transfer fee, and now that Sporting Gijón has taken a fancy to Arango, it can be regarded as a contribution to the team." ”

"Basically doable. Another member of the coaching staff said, "However, the transfer fee can be negotiated and let them reduce it a little, and Arango can also deduct some of the transfer fee." ”

The coaching staff is very unanimous in their opinion, this deal plan is feasible, and they also hope to be able to use Arango to offset part of the transfer fee, that is, they hope that Sporting Gijón will not bite the 1.5 million euros of funds and can reduce it appropriately.

In a word, Mallorca's coach Mr. Cooper's coaching staff agrees, Arango's performance is very average, he doesn't see any potential, and he may not even be able to adapt to La Liga, and this player is introduced on a free transfer, even if it is transferred now, it is not too distressing, and the coaching staff is happy to see Arango able to 'waste use' and contribute to the team in this transfer: this is very feasible, very good.

The coaching staff's input also led to Cooper's final determination that the deal was viable.
