The cold winter is coming, and people are caught off guard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the World Cup, Simeone returned to Italy early, only to find that the familiar city of Rome had become unfamiliar.

Even Lazio, who he knows best and has been playing for three years, has become different.

The manager changed from Zaccheroni to Mancini, and the whole team changed.

The manager, who had been a team-mate at Lazio for a year, set out an ambitious plan to transform Lazio into a champion-winning team that could compete with Juventus and Inter Milan.

And from the beginning, Simeone was told not to be in his plans.

There is only one reason, age.

is only thirty-two years old, and he is disgusted with old age?

Simeone was not convinced, because he clearly remembered that Mancini was thirty-six years old in his last season at Lazio, so why didn't he feel old at that time?

At the end of the day, isn't it because of that injury last season?

Throughout the 01-02 season, Simeone only played eight Serie A games for Lazio, and spent most of the rest of the time recovering from injuries, which led to his poor form, and even in the World Cup, as the captain of the Argentine national team, he failed to show the strength he should have, resulting in the team being disgraced after the group stage.

As captain, Simeone, like manager Bielsa, has been under tremendous pressure.

Unexpectedly, back in Italy, his situation was even worse.

At present, Lazio is revolving around two things, one is purging, and the other is recruitment.

Sell a batch, exchange for funds, and bring in another batch.

Unfortunately, Simeone was among those who were sold.

Lying on a bench in his own garden, head up, looking at the wide blue sky and the floating rootless white clouds, the tough guy on the football field sighed helplessly.

He is not reluctant to leave Lazio, because he knows that every manager will have his own ideas, and every season the team needs to add some fresh blood, so naturally it is normal to have to make some adjustments.

Although he is no longer young, he can bear any outcome.

He's not a coward!

What he really feels helpless and uncomfortable with is the endless rumours that emerge from the outside world every day, the transfer operation that he is completely unpredictable, and the future that he has no idea about.

He doesn't like it!

He approached the president of the club, Cragnotti, to find out what he was doing, but Lazio told him that everything was not decided and that no team had expressed interest in him so far.

It made Simeone feel humiliated!

He was only thirty-two years old, when had he fallen to this point?

Finally, Cragnotti told him that a fax had been sent to Atletico Madrid.

"I heard that their manager wants a qualified midfielder replacement. ”

Rather than resisting, Simeone liked Atletico Madrid, because it was the first team in European football and by far the only team that made him feel at home.

Even after many years of absence, there are still many familiar friends there, such as captain Aguilera, center forward Kico, central defender Sante, wide player Roberto, and Toni Muñoz, who is still in the service after retiring......

Last season, the team won the Grand Slam and the treble, and when they celebrated, they sent themselves an invitation, but they were too busy with Lazio and the Argentine national team to attend.

He can feel that there are still many people in Madrid that he likes and likes him.

However, Cragnotti's talk of a qualified midfield substitute made Simeone resist.

He was a proud, even somewhat egotistical man.

He knew he was old, but not old enough to be a substitute.

Marcos Senna is really good, but this kid has what it takes to be his replacement?

If that's the case, then he'd rather not go back!

That's why Simeone didn't call his former friends at Atletico Madrid to find out what was going on, not only because of his pride, but also because of his pride.

Thinking of this, Simone simply closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

Let's wait.

Things always have a result.

I don't know how long it took, but he was woken up by a ringtone on his mobile phone.

Reaching out and taking it out of his trouser pocket, the caller ID: Little Hill.

This made Simone Hodi sit up from his chair and look at it again in disbelief.

That's right, it's Little Hill.

"Hey, Michelle. He quickly answered the phone.

"Hello, Diego, I'm sorry to call you at this time. ”

"It's okay, I'm fine. Simeone replied lightly.

"That's right, Diego, our head coach Gao Han wants to talk to you about the transfer, what do you think?"

Simeone's heart moved, and he immediately nodded: "Of course." ”

"Alright, I'll give him the phone. ”

Then there was a commotion, and soon an unfamiliar voice was heard.

"Hello, Diego, I'm Gao Han. ”

"Hello, Mr. Gao Han, we've met, haven't we?"

"Haha, of course, at the World Cup. Gao Han replied with a smile.

During the World Cup, he not only watched Argentina's game, but also made a special trip to visit Bielsa, during which he met with the players of the Argentine national team, but did not have in-depth conversations.

"I'll cut a long story short, I want you to come to Atletico Madrid. ”

Gao Han's directness surprised Simone, and his expression was very stunned.

'I know where you are at Lazio, I've learned about your situation last season, and even I talked to Bielsa about your training with the national team, and I don't think you're as old as you are rumored to be. ”

These words immediately resonated in Simone's heart, and he himself had always been so persistent in looking at himself.

Only thirty-two years old, are you going to admit old age?

'We did well last season but that's all in the past and the new season is about to start a new journey and we want to strengthen our midfield for the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey campaign. ”

Simeone still didn't speak, but he agreed in his heart.

A return to Atletico Madrid is indeed the best option for him.

This is not only because he has feelings for this team, but also because Atletico Madrid is on a road to revival.

With his current situation, it is really not easy to go to another team that will play in the Champions League after leaving Lazio.

But there was one question he decided to ask anyway.

"Thank you very much for your affirmation of me, Mr. Gao Han, and to be honest, I would be very happy to return to Atletico Madrid. ”

Gao Han heard the sound outside the strings, mumbled, and said, "If you have any questions, you can say it as soon as possible." ”

Simeone thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and asked, "I want to know, if I go back, what position can I play in the new season?"

Gao Han on the phone smiled lightly, obviously prepared for this question.

"Although our midfielder is played with a back three, the left and right midfielders have a lot of movement, and the right side is a bit similar to the position you were in when you were under Antich, I am sure you should be familiar with this, right?"

Gao Han's words made Simeone's memory go back to six or seven years ago.

At that time, Atletico Madrid survived in the gap between the two giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the performance was also good and bad.

Up front is Pantic, who is responsible for linking the forward line and midfield, while advancing with the ball.

Simeone, who played as a midfielder on the left and right, was responsible for running coverage and pressing, and he showed his technical versatility, and he was also very dangerous in the back, and that season was the best of his career.

In thirty-seven La Liga games, he scored a total of twelve goals.

It was also that season that made him famous, becoming one of the most famous first-class midfielders in Europe in one fell swoop, and was eyed by Inter Milan.

Listening to Gao Han's meaning, although the current Atletico Madrid team is very different from the Antich period, there are also a lot of things in common, no wonder so many Sheets fans will say that Gao Han inherits and carries forward the traditional style of play of Atletico Madrid.

When he thought of this, Simeone's heart was already pounding.

"I also want you to be reassured that in my team, there is no one who cannot be beaten, everything has to be competed by strength, and when Pep Guardiola joined the team, I gave him that promise. ”

Gao Han continued to reassure Simeone on the phone.

"If you have the ability to put down Marcos Senna or Deco in the competition, then I'd be more than happy to have you start. ”

For Gao Han's promise, Simeone really can't be picky.

For Atletico Madrid, he is also relatively familiar and understood, and knows that what Gao Han said is true.

After figuring it out, Simeone was also very straightforward, "Mr. Gao Han, I am willing to return to Atletico Madrid." ”

Gao Han on the other side of the phone also smiled, "Very good, it's not a problem on the Lazio side, we have already negotiated." ”

"Understood. Simeone knew that Lazio wanted him to leave.

"Then you arrange it, I hope to see you when the team is training. ”

Simeone also smiled slightly, "No, I'll go back tomorrow." ”

It seems that he is even more anxious than Gao Han.

…………

…………

Hanging up Simeone's phone, Gao Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the reasons why he chose Simeone between Davies, Van Bommel, Albertini, Mendieta and Simeone is that Simeone is more familiar with the Atletico Madrid formation and the environment of the Sheets.

Moreover, this veteran is known for his cunning on the field, the most famous is the 98 World Cup Beckham off the field, the adaptability is definitely not to say, and he has feelings for the team, which will definitely be a big help.

As for the transfer fee, Lazio only made an offer of 2.5 million euros for Simeone.

For a player with a strength of 160 and a fairly good physical fitness, it is too good for money.

Hill Jr. and Paul Futtrey were equally happy beside him.

Sheets fans will be ecstatic to be able to buy Simeone back, and it's worth it more than bringing in a superstar.

"We should have a press conference. Hill Jr. suggested.

It's also a former celebrity, and it's also the only deal for Atletico Madrid this summer, so it's hard to say without a press conference.

Paul Futrey immediately smiled and nodded, "I'll take care of it." ”

But at this time, Carlos Pena, the leader of the team, walked in worriedly with a fax in his hand.

"Something is wrong!" (To be continued.) )
