Chapter 173: Xiaode's Frustration

Another team interested in Neuer is Manchester United, Manchester United's problem is still goalkeepers, after the Ferguson era opened, Manchester United has a lot of goalkeepers, and the ones who can be put on the table are Schmeichel, Barthez, Van der Sar, and the rest are passing by the eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now playing Manchester United is the veteran Van der Sar, Van der Sar's history is very tortuous, he was 35 years old when he joined Manchester United, but he has not given way to sit here until now, but he is almost 40 years old, and retirement is only a matter of two years, the reason why he is still sitting in that position is estimated to be the effect of Ferguson's persuasion, because Manchester United has not found a suitable successor to him.

His successor is difficult to find, and in the Ferguson era, no real successor was found after Schmeichel, until Van der Sar and Barthez were still on the table because he was famous, and he helped France win the World Cup and European Championship.

In fact, Barthez's performances at Manchester United have been very inconsistent, often making low-level mistakes, and he is nicknamed "Butter Hand".

Of course, he wasn't the only one who buttered up, and the highlights of United's later successor's mistakes could probably be edited into a funny short film.

It wasn't until the arrival of Edwin van der Sar that changed that, and United finally had a trustworthy goalkeeper in front of goal.

So when Van der Sar gets older, Ferguson is cautious in his selection of goalkeepers, and he doesn't want to pick another butter player.

In Schalke 04, Neuer continued to play highlights, and Neuer became their target, and Neuer would actually refuse the transfer news of Manchester United, for the same reason.

So when a reporter asked Neuer about the transfer rumor, Neuer's answer was ambiguous, "I really admire Ferguson, he has been in charge for so long and can always win championships." ”

What he said was nonsense, how many players can not admire a manager like Ferguson, maybe the feeling after getting along may not be good, but being appreciated by a manager like Ferguson is a very honorable thing in itself, and Zhang Yuan will also feel this way.

Originally, this was a more polite answer from Neuer, and he did not express his refusal, but only mentioned his opinion of Ferguson.

As a result, his words were interpreted by reporters as a positive signal, of course, you have to think of it this way, it is really a positive signal, but Neuer has no intention of transferring.

Neuer's ghostly agent, Thomas Kreuz, then stated that Manchester United were indeed interested in Neuer.

The two sides must have been in contact privately, Schalke 04's financial situation is not good, but some people can't sell it, such as Neuer and Zhang Yuan, they definitely don't want to sell.

Schalke 04 official clarified that we did not receive an offer from Manchester United, don't guess, Neuer also stood up in time and said that I didn't say I was leaving Schalke 04!

This stopped the speculation of the outside media and stopped the sinking hearts of the fans.

Another player to be hyped is Degan, who was the highest-rated defender in the Bundesliga in the first half of the season, ranking first in both interceptions and tackles.

How could such a high-gloss performance not arouse the covetousness of other giants!

And one of them is very interested in Degan, it is the Juventus club, after the phone gate, Juventus's central defender reorganization, has never been in an ideal state, at this time AC Milan abandoned, but now the gradual highlight of Degan into their eyes, of course, the idea of introducing Degan is not the idea of Andre Agnelli represented by Nedved, but the current idea of Juventus.

Raiola would love to broker the deal, but it won't work here in Degan.

The reason is that because of the appearance of a woman, Elise, Degan does not really want to leave Germany and return to Italy when considering a transfer, and he prefers to continue to stay in the Bundesliga to develop.

Degan doesn't have any psychological burden about leaving Schalke 04, the only possibility is that he feels that it may be a bit cruel to the fans, but this reality, he also has to think about his future.

This consideration includes one's own future and money, as well as family.

If Bayern Munich comes to recruit him, he is completely happy to transfer, and if it is the sworn enemy Dortmund to recruit him, he can even go, because Elise has always been a Dortmund fan, and Degan is willing to transfer to the sworn enemy for her, even if he may face the abuse of Schalke 04 fans in the future, he does not care.

There are actually many players who have played for Schalke 04 and Dortmund at the same time in history, but there are very few direct mutual transfers.

Raiola was in December to try to get Digan to Juventus, his idea is simple, in the defensive-oriented Serie A, Digan can have more room for improvement, and Juventus will definitely give him and Digan a good salary.

Juventus is currently sinking a little, but they are still stable in the top three, Bischalke 04 is big and stable, and it is not good to match Zhang Yuan, but it is still good to match Degan.

Raiola tried to persuade Degan as much as he could, but Deegan just didn't get in, and in his current opinion, Elise was more important than playing.

The valuation of Digan in the German transfer market is not high, only about 8 million euros, but if the transaction price is concerned, other clubs will have to pay at least 10 million or more to sell.

For whether to sell Digan or not, Magath has a pole to say, Neuer and Zhang Yuan can not be sold, but Digan can be sold, sell Degan, and there are Westerman, Hevedes, and Sambrano in the central defender position.

However, given Degan's highlight-reel performance, without an offer that tempted Magath, it would be impossible.

Since Digan has no initial transfer intentions, Juventus naturally did not make any offer, having said that, after a huge investment in the summer window, it is difficult for Juventus to complete this deal, and it is difficult for them to satisfy Schalke 04's appetite.

There is another Bundesliga club interested in Degan, that is, Leverkusen, but they did not contact Deegan privately, but inquired about Schalke 04 through the club level, and Magath Lions opened their mouth for 15 million euros, which directly scared Leverkusen away!

What are you kidding, more than a year ago there was 0 transfer fees, and now you want 15 million, is there any reason?!

15 million is a drizzle for Bayern Munich, and it is also a drizzle for Bayer behind Leverkusen, but Bayer is not so stupid, Leverkusen has always been a budget-conscious operation.

Bayern Munich lost this deal and countless members and shareholders backed it, but Leverkusen lost this deal and could only be backed by Bayer itself, Bayer obviously would not do this under the management of Bayer, the price must be reasonable, 15 million is unreasonable, Schalke 04 made too much.

There was no training camp for long in Chiclana, and Schalke 04 returned to Germany in less than a week, Schalke 04 played another friendly match, this time against St. Pauli, Magath did not let most of the main players play, but sent Draxler and other young players to train with the team, and some new players.

However, the result was disappointing, with St. Pauli beating Schalke 04 2-0 at their home stadium and the players did not play much at all.

Magath didn't attach much importance to this result, he felt that the spirit shown by the team was still worthy of recognition, and the main reason for the loss was that the young players and new signings did not fully implement the team's tactics, and the team's run-in was also problematic.

Draxler had a poor performance in this game, scoring in the previous two games, but was lost in the face of a vicious foul on St. Pauli and was replaced by Magath after 45 minutes.

He was a little depressed when he got off the field, Zhang Yuan comforted him on the bench, "Julian, it's just one game, don't take it too seriously!"

Draxler nodded, but he had a big question mark in his heart about his future.

The friendly match is nothing to Zhang Yuan, just show an understanding of the coach's tactical intentions, whether you score goals or assists is not so important, the key is to let the coach see that you can play what he wants well.

It is better not to get injured in friendly matches, and the main players are not injured is what the player himself and Magath are looking forward to.

But it's extremely important for a youngster like Draxler to get a chance to play, and they need to show not only their individuality, but also their adaptability to the team's tactics, as well as consistency.

Sometimes a bad game can make the manager see a lot of your shortcomings, which in turn kills your chances of getting into the first team.

So relatively speaking, Draxler still needs goals and assists than Zhang Yuan, but he messed up this game. (To be continued.) )
