Chapter 704: Supplemental Goalkeeper
Perhaps the apology from the RB Football Association and Zico did not seem very sincere, and it was even more insignificant in front of Diego López's broken leg in a plaster cast, but David knew that this matter could really only end here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He can make verbal threats, but he really can't do substantial damage, can he still go and blow up the small islands of RB?
A few days after the team's return to England, Diego Lopes also returned to England to recuperate at the club's medical centre, where his team-mates were the first to visit him.
"Diego, you have to hold on, the nurses here are very punctual, don't be sorry for your wife!" David joked at Diego López.
Obviously, Diego Lopez is in a good mood now, and he has accepted that he is injured and has to leave the court for nearly half a year, even if he is very helpless and unwilling in his heart, he can still only lie on the hospital bed in a daze.
"Boss, don't tease me, okay, I don't know I'm hurt now?" Diego Lopes was speechless about his unscrupulous chairman, but soon the Spanish goalkeeper straightened his face, "Boss, I can't play now, Joe can take my place, I know he is very good, but the team definitely needs a stable goalkeeper as a supplement, please don't worry about my thoughts, the interests of the team are the most important, I won't mind, even if the team buys a world-class goalkeeper, when I recover, I will definitely do my best to fight for the main position." ”
David looked at this non-verbal Spaniard with a smile and was moved in his heart.
Diego Lopes is right, after his injury, the team does need to add a goalkeeper, the goalkeeper of the reserve team is simply useless, and Joe Hart may not be able to last a season alone.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will have a comprehensive consideration, your biggest task now is to recover from the injury, and strive to return to the training ground as soon as possible, you know, your teammates are waiting for you!"
Leaving the medical center, David has been thinking about this problem, the goalkeeper position is definitely a very important part of the team, a good goalkeeper can top the top half of the team, and a goalkeeper who keeps making mistakes is simply undercover, the gap is too big.
Diego Lopes is the representative of a consistent goalkeeper, there are almost no mistakes that should not be made, but it is also difficult to have those brilliant saves, which is best described as decent.
He has been able to become the main goalkeeper of Notts County because of his characteristics, Notts County need a consistent goalkeeper and not a goalkeeper who is always in front of goal.
Joe Hart has a neurotic nature as a substitute goalkeeper, and although his young instability is sometimes reflected in him, he is often able to make good saves.
The Englishman who was born in '87 is only 18 years old, but he was already playing for Notts County two years ago when he turned 16 years old, and two seasons of training have given him some maturity that is difficult for his peers to achieve, as well as a wealth of game experience, and he is definitely a leader among young goalkeepers.
Now David is facing a difficult question, what kind of goalkeeper should he choose to add to the first team in the new season!
Joe Hart, as the future chief international of England, considering the restrictions of homegrown players in the English league, Joe Hart will definitely stay in the team, and sooner or later will take over, and Diego Lopez as the hero of the team, unless he voluntarily asks to leave, or the competitive form has dropped significantly, the club will always have a place for him.
Two good goalkeepers are enough to handle a multi-front campaign over the course of a season, which means that it is enough for Notts County to have two goalkeepers, Joe Hart and Diego López, unless there is an unfortunate situation in which two goalkeepers are injured in quick succession during the season.
On the football field, the chances of injury in the goalkeeper position are much lower than in other positions, and it is not uncommon for two goalkeepers to be abolished in a game like Chelsea's in tens of thousands of years.
If Notts County now brings in a world-class goalkeeper, then when Diego Lopes returns from injury, then the goalkeeper position will become the most competitive position in the squad.
Therefore, bringing in a goalkeeper of a first-class level or above is not the best choice.
In this way, it seems that bringing in a veteran is more suitable for the realities of Notts County.
Thinking of this, David's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a possibility.
Last season, there was a shortage of people in the forward position, with Didier Drogba suspended, and Villa unable to be separated by the award of the double Footballer of the Year award and a series of activities, so David was temporarily loaned from Real Madrid to Morientes to strengthen the attack, and finally Notts County had a successful season.
Isn't it possible to do the same now?
Go through it in your head to see if there is a good goalkeeper who can only play as a substitute in the team, and there is another old goalkeeper who is about to lose his place in the team.
After thinking about it for a long time and looking at the statistics of the summer transfer situation, a name finally came to David's mind!
Santo Toldo!
It was the same amazing goalkeeper who saved four penalties from the Netherlands in the semi-finals of Euro 2000.
There is no doubt that without Buffon, Toldo would definitely be able to become Italy's number one goalkeeper, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time.
During his seasons at Inter Milan, Toldo made a huge contribution to Milan's revival, but this summer, Inter Milan brought in Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar, and there is no doubt that the Brazilian goalkeeper will replace Toldo's main position.
Toldo is only 34 years old today, and although it is not a golden age for a goalkeeper, it is not a golden age, but it is not a twilight either, and goalkeepers over the age of 35 who are still active in the top flight abound, and goalkeepers are the position with the longest average life in their careers.
Since he can only sit on the bench at Inter, David can definitely bring him on loan as a supplement to the goalkeeper position, and if you look at the rotation of Notts County, Toldo can definitely play more games than at Inter.
Thinking of this, David called Moratti directly.
"Old man, you know, my main goalkeeper is injured, anyway, Toldo has no place in Inter, why don't you loan it to us, so it can cut your salary expenses!" David was not polite to Moratti at all.
Before as the main goalkeeper of Inter, Toldo's salary is indeed not low, and after the arrival of Cesar, Toldo's playing opportunities are not much, rather than spending money to raise a substitute goalkeeper who does not have much effect, it is better to go out on loan, anyway, the goalkeepers of the youth team can stand up, you know, Italy's goalkeepers are famous all over the world.
Without much hesitation, Moratti agreed to David's request and loaned Toldo to Notts County for a pre-match match, on the condition that Notts County pay Toldo's salary during the loan.
"It's fun to be friends with you, well, and don't forget the friendly match, this time we can make it bigger!" David saved, then reminded Moratti. (To be continued.) )
