Chapter 295: Juventus wants Robben?
Kuyt has always been a right midfielder for Notts County, and although his creative ability is not particularly outstanding, he is very important in the Notts County system, and the players themselves are hard-working, and they are definitely an indispensable part of the Magpies.
If it was last season, Kuyt's injury would not have had a particularly big impact, after all, there was Maggio on the bench, and Babel of the reserve team could also step up at critical moments.
But now the problem is highlighted, with Maggio and Babel both out on loan, and the only player in the right midfield is the newly introduced Peter Pan, Arjen Robben.
Peter Pan's individual strength is definitely no problem, and he is also better than Kuyt in the raids on the wing, but when it comes to reading the game, and more importantly, teamwork, he is not a little bit worse, judging from the recent training, many times, he is alone on the side with the ball, and then into a dead end, I really want to be Ribery when he first arrived in Notts County.
Ribery was influenced by his personality and was not very gregarious at the time, but Robben was completely overconfident, believing that he was capable of solving the game alone.
Originally, Loew wanted to press Robben so that he could integrate into the team's overall tactics faster and form actual combat effectiveness as soon as possible, but now Kuyt's injury completely disrupted his plan, because Robben was the only one left in this position, and who would he not play?
This is really bad news for Notts County.
In the third round, Kuyt's injury problem was highlighted, and as long as the ball came to the right, it was rare for it to come out again, and although Robben scored with an inside shot, more often than not, it brought the team's attack on the right to a standstill.
Although Notts County relied on a strong overall strength to win 2-1 against Bevilen, the course of the game was not satisfactory.
In the final match that followed, Juventus beat Boavista 2-0 to end an unofficial cup competition in the nature of a warm-up match.
Juventus and Notts County are tied on seven points, but Juventus won the cup on goal difference, while Notts County finished second, with Boavista and Bevilen in third and fourth.
The name doesn't really matter, but the warm-up matches, which were held in cup fashion, were well received by all four clubs at the same time.
The pre-season training time is limited, and it is inevitable that it will not be possible to run all over the world, and training in one place and being able to warm up with different teams saves the team from frequent travel, which naturally has a more positive impact on the team's preparation.
Three clubs, including Moggie, are even hoping to turn the unofficial cup competition into a fixture, to everyone's benefit, with each season taking place before the season.
David didn't think about it that much, but since everyone strongly requested it, it may not be impossible to make the trip, so let's wait for the specific discussion later.
Before leaving, David hosted a banquet for the presidents of the three clubs, and in the box of Nottinghamshire's most exclusive restaurant, the four of them were like old friends, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
In fact, the chairman of Boa Vista and Bevilen said to David Lao that they are all his own family, and only Moji is something he doesn't want to have too much contact with, but there is no way, there are some things that must be done in face after all.
However, after three rounds of drinking, Moji made David uncomfortable again.
I thought that even if Juventus wanted to poach people from Notts County, they would also poach Alonso Deko and others, but I didn't expect that this time Moggi actually fell in love with Robben.
"David, I hope that Notts County can transfer Robben, a Dutchman, to Juventus, as if I owe you a favor." Moji's expression seemed to have eaten David.
A favor?
David couldn't help but slander in his heart, your favor bullshit is not worth it!
And he doesn't understand it, even if Moggie falls in love with Notts County goalkeeper Diego Lopez, he won't be surprised, but how can Moggie fall in love with Robben?
With Peter Pan's temporarily disastrous performance, Loew has planned to put him on the bench for a long time, how can he win Juventus's favor?
Admittedly, Robben's flashy breakthrough and high-speed impact on the flanks were very entertaining to ordinary fans, and there was also a goal in the warm-up game, which seemed to be the team's new attacking starting point.
But in the eyes of professionals, it is not the case at all, Robben has only one offensive option, that is, to break through with the ball, which is easy to be defended by the opponent, and then be counterattacked, not only can not improve the team's combat effectiveness, but will put the team in a dilemma.
A giant like Juventus can't even see this problem, right?
So David was very suspicious of Moji's motives at this moment!
Of course, even if Robben does not perform well, David will not take him lightly, because he knows that once Robben really integrates into Notts County's tactical system, it will bring a big improvement to Notts County, and with his assault, Notts County has a sharp attack at any time.
So, David could only say sorry to Moggie again.
"Mr. Moggie, you have also seen it, our main right midfielder has just been injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to play for a long time, Notts County only has Robben in this position, if I give him to Juventus, I'm afraid Loew will kill me tomorrow!" David spread his hands and said with a helpless look.
Moji's face is not very good-looking, which seems to be a common problem of the helmsman of a wealthy family, who is too self-righteous and always thinks that the earth will revolve around them.
In fact, Moggie didn't really want Robben on his own spur of the moment.
He and Lippi have communicated this problem, Juventus have a strong midfield, a surplus of players in the middle, and no real fast horse attacker on the wing, which forms a limit on the team's tactics, and the power of counter-attacks cannot be maximized, so the best solution is to fill the gap in this position in the transfer period.
Moggie naturally trusts the force he dug up himself, and since Lippi has proposed it, he will definitely try his best to be satisfied, and at the same time, he is also responsible for the team's results.
However, after looking for a long time in the transfer market, he has not found a particularly suitable player, and even if he does, he is being supplied like a treasure by various clubs, and he can't dig it at all, so he can only focus on those talented newcomers who have not yet emerged.
As long as there is potential, he believes that Lippi can be trained slowly!
And in this warm-up cup that he didn't pay much attention to, Robben of Notts County suddenly came into his sight, although the Dutch youngster has all kinds of shortcomings, but undeniably, his point is very prominent, and it just so happens that his point is what Juventus needs.
It didn't take much effort to get it!
So, Moggie once again opened his mouth to ask for someone from Notts County. (To be continued.) )
