Chapter 7: Degan's Decision

Such a change in formation is good news for the strikers who are waiting for the opportunity, the positions of Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi have basically been determined, and the thunder cannot be moved, and there are still two positions for others to compete, in fact, there is another person who is also determined to play the main force, this person is Peruvian Farfan, there is no way he is the key introduction of Lu Teng.

Altentop Jr., Asamoah, Roberto Jr., and Sanchez will compete for the last spot.

It's not a good thing for the midfielders, who have changed from three last season to two, and it is inevitable that two defensive midfielders will be arranged, with Jones, Ernst, Rakitic, Engraar, and Grosmuller competing for these two positions, and the competition is fierce.

Rakitic is very depressed because of this change, he can play a lot of positions, central midfielder, midfielder, left and right winger, but his favorite position is the midfielder, he is strong in playmaking rather than defense, and he is likely to lose his position.

During this time, Rakitic would always secretly want to complain to Zhang Yuan and Neuer, who played the best in the team, Zhang Yuan and Neuer could only comfort him, and now that the season has not started, he may not have lost his position, Zhang Yuan persuaded Rakitic to strengthen his defensive ability and become an all-round midfielder, so Rakitic will definitely be able to impress Luten.

Rakitic heeded the advice of his two friends and began to work on his defensive skills in training.

Another feature of Luten's pre-season training camp is that he will have intra-team matches every day, the purpose of which is of course to make the team more familiar with the tactical style of play he has formulated, enhance the run-in, and hope to make the team fully adapt to this style of play before the arrival of the new season.

Degan has been training with the team in the past few days, of course, the coaching staff will also arrange some separate tests and training for him to understand some basic information about him, and the team will also arrange him to play in the confrontation against Seluten, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of Degan's ability.

Whenever Zhang Yuan starts cheating at this time, how to cheat is very simple!

Every time he is grouped, Degan is always assigned to the side of the bench, as a central defender he will face the main side of Zhang Yuan and Kuranyi, Zhang Yuan often does not go to the position of Degan in this situation, but pushes Kuranyi to Degan to defend, and occasionally goes to the area where Degan defends.

Because Zhang Yuan felt that it was difficult for Di Gan to prevent himself, he didn't want his friends to infinitely magnify their shortcomings because of him.

In the past two days, everyone in the team knows that Zhang Yuan and Di Gan are good friends, but they definitely didn't expect Zhang Yuan to cheat on the training ground, Di Gan himself didn't know, and coach Lu Teng didn't know.

Although Degan turned slowly, he was physically strong, and he still had a lot of experience in fighting a striker like Kuranyi one-on-one, and he was still a little uncomfortable at the beginning, Zhang Yuan quietly cheered him up, "You can do it, you can do it, don't be nervous!"

Relaxed Degan began to show his ability, he was taller than Kuranyi, and he guarded Kuranyi from losing his temper, Kuranyi looked at Degan like a monster, this is a training session, why are you so serious.

Hard work and dedication are the true portrayal of Digan these days, Lu Teng was also surprised when he looked at Digan's performance, although sometimes Zhang Yuan was not on the field, and Digan also made mistakes in defending breakthrough strikers such as Farfan, but the breakthrough ability of other strikers is not at the same level as Zhang Yuan, and Digan will naturally not be miserable, and he also showed his better ability to predict steal and card positions.

It is not only the coaching staff who look at Degan's training, but also the club's scouting team, who will give advice to the club based on the advice of the coaching staff.

The scouting team has seen Degan's trial, and feels that Schalke 04 can sign this player, this player's abilities are not very outstanding, but there are some highlights, such as Deegan has a good long pass kung fu in passing, in terms of calmness, he is still quite calm in the face of crisis situations as a central defender, and will not easily lose his position, in the confrontation against the 1.93 meter Deegan is not afraid of any opponent, and the ability to predict and steal is not bad, in fact, experience is very important for the central defender, the scouting team believes that as long as the playing time of Degan is ensured, he is young and still has room for growth。

The real ability of Deegan will definitely not be so bad that a Serie A team is reluctant to take him over, the main reason is that he has been sitting in AC Milan for too long and no one else trusts him.

But this time, with the encouragement of Zhang Yuan, Schalke 04 successfully showed himself, with shortcomings but also highlights.

Muller saw the report of the scouting staff and the coaching staff, and felt that it was completely possible to sign Degan as a backup, and he also did his homework and learned more about Degan's background.

So Muller has made up his mind to sign Degan, but he can't give AC Milan any transfer fee, and he won't give Degan much more salary.

"What? 250,000 yuan a year before tax for free? Mr. Muller!" Mr. Wright almost jumped out of the seat opposite Muller.

AC Milan now wants Digan to leave quickly, Mr. Wright will definitely be able to persuade AC Milan to release him for free, but the salary proposed by Schalke 04 is too insulting, you must know that Digan gets a million annual salary in AC Milan, Italy's tax is lower than Germany's, Schalke 04 cut 3/4 here, and it is strange that Mr. Wright is not angry.

"Mr. Wright, you have to know that Degan is not strong enough in training to establish himself in our club, he has not shown any talent, I signed him because he worked hard and we believe that he can be one of the team's reserves through hard work!" Muller belittled Deegan as much as he could, meaning that even in the future Deegan is only a reserve, he understands that Deegan has not many options.

"But don't you think you're insulting with such an offer?!" said Mr. Wright, still indignant.

"Mr. Wright, we don't mean to insult you and your son! You know, our way of doing business is to keep a tight grip on players' salaries, and we don't have the financial means to make a higher offer to Degan, and that's understandable," Muller explained.

"If we give Degan a higher salary, it will break the salary structure of the team, and please understand that!Mr. Wright, I want you and Degan to think about it! I personally admire him, but I also have the club's interests in mind!" "Muller didn't want to get into a fight with Mr. Wright, so he found a few reluctantly plausible reasons to convince Mr. Wright.

Mr. Wright left Mueller's office with a sense of anger, and Mueller had more reasons to do so, but that low salary was simply intolerable, and it was a salary for a youth team member.

He didn't discuss with Degan at the first time, but called his eldest son Kaka, who was also very dissatisfied when he heard about such an offer, but after thinking about it carefully, he persuaded Mr. Wright that since Degan chose to go his own way, then as an agent, Mr. Wright should give the final decision to Degan to make the decision.

Mr. Wright was finally persuaded by Kaka to return to the hotel with the humiliating offer and to Degan's room.

Degan calmly listened to Mr. Wright's description, in fact, he was not at peace in his heart, he was also very aggrieved, the original annual salary of one million fell to a quarter, and it was difficult for anyone to accept.

"Son, let's go, I don't believe there is no other club that accepts you!" said Mr. Wright, who never wanted to.

Degan thought for a moment, raised his head, and his eyes revealed firmness, "No, I'm not going to leave, I decided to sign with them!"

"You?!What a shame on their offer!"

Schalke 04 is a strong team in the Bundesliga, they have the Champions League, they are playing on three fronts in the new season, the game is very heavy, I will get the opportunity to play, but if I go to other clubs, can I have such a chance?" asked Deegan rhetorically.

Mr. Wright was speechless, thought for a long time, and said to Degan, "Your brother said that your life should be decided by yourself, so from now on you should make your own decisions!

"I know, Dad, I'll take my own consequences, please don't worry about me, I'm not qualified to care about the salary right now, you know?" Digan's tone was still mixed with unwillingness.

"Well, son, no matter what you decide, our family will support you!" Mr. Wright was now more encouraging. (To be continued.) )
