Chapter 835: Deco's Departure and Stay
"Anderson, no one else can help you make any decisions, your future should be up to you, I will wait for your answer!" David said to Deco in a deep tone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, boss, I'll make a decision soon, but whatever choice I make, I'll be proud of Notts County!" Deco nodded involuntarily on the other end of the phone.
After ending the call with Deco, David immediately called Heynckes again, when the team was not assembled, although the old coach had entered the working state, but he had not yet reported to the team, David wanted to find him or could only talk on the phone.
"Jaap, you should have a deeper understanding of the team during this time, now there is a question, I want to know what your position is for Deco, Bayern wants to buy Deco, he himself is a little hesitant." After a brief pleasantry, David explained the purpose of his call.
Heynckes recently watched the video of Notts County's game last season and was dizzy, after all, he was old and his energy was a little lacking, and when he heard David's words, he didn't react at the first time.
Soon, though, he also fell into deep thought.
In Loew's time, the team played long in a 4231 formation, with two midfielders on the pitch, and usually Alonso and Deco started together, with Mascherano and Javi Martinez alternating, of course, there were sometimes special cases of single and three midfielders, but those were relatively rare.
In Heynckes' view, the reason why Loew's control style of play can work in an orderly manner is to build an effective high pressing, and another important point is that Deco and Alonso, two playmaking players at the same time, can control the midfield well.
However, this obviously sacrifices the defensive hardness of the midfield to a certain extent, and for Heynckes, who is more open-minded, he is reluctant to let two playmakers play at the same time.
Although Deco and Alonso are both top-level playmakers, it would be a shame that only one person could start, but compared to his own transformation of the team's technical and tactical system, this sacrifice is inevitable, and he cannot take everyone's feelings into account.
Between Deco and Alonso, he prefers the young Alonso, although Deco has super organizational ability, and has a strong forward ability, and excellent foot skills and the ability to get rid of the spot are beyond Alonso's ability, and even have no obvious weaknesses, but Heynckes will still choose Alonso for no other reason, because Alonso is the captain of the team and is younger.
Alonso is also good at organization, and he will not be inferior to Deco in this regard, and in his future tactical system, Deco's forward role will be infinitely weakened and cannot become a good breakthrough point, and Alonso, although he is slightly weaker in getting rid of the situation, has a defensive midfielder to protect him, and can also ignore this, so Deco's advantages do not seem to be competitive in front of him.
Heynckes would be happy if Deco was willing to accept the substitute position, Notts County had no strong rotation in the whole of Europe, and when Alonso was rested, Deco led the team and the team was able to play well in attack.
But if Deco can't accept the decline in the team, then Heynckes himself will be very sorry, but he also knows how embarrassing it would be to have two equally good players in the same position in a team.
After thinking for a while, Heynckes said: "From a tactical point of view, Deco plays a great role in the team, but my tactics in the new season tend to be more balanced, usually I don't let two playmakers play at the same time, so Deco may lose his main core position, if he is willing to stay, he can maintain the thickness of the team's lineup very well, but I think he should not be willing to stay in this situation, at the peak of his career, no superstar will be willing to sit on the bench, you can try to keep, Even if he insists on leaving, it's nothing, in the end it's up to you to decide! ”
Heynckes showed his attitude, it doesn't matter if he leaves or stays, although he thinks it's better to stay, but he knows that he can't interfere with the club's transfer work inch by inch, anyway, having Alonso is enough for him to be satisfied, most giants don't have this level of playmaker!
'Oh, yes, if Deco leaves and the midfield is strengthened, I hope to bring in an all-round midfielder like Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. Finally, Heynckes also gave his thoughts on the lineup.
In the current lineup configuration, whether it is Deco or Alonso, Mascherano or Javi Martinez, they are not the so-called all-round midfielders, the first two are organized, the latter two defend, each with its own role.
And an all-round midfielder is still very helpful for the team, with comprehensive coverage, excellent physical fitness, and strong ability at both ends of the pitch, Notts County seem to be lacking such a player right now.
After putting down the phone, David was also a little abrupt, it seems that he has always ignored such a type of midfielder when building the team's lineup.
Gerrard and Frank Lampard are the poster children of the outstanding all-round midfielders in world football right now, just look at the quality and achievements of these two players.
If Deco leaves, adding an all-round midfielder is really a good plan.
But the problem is, whether it is Gerrard or Lampard, I'm afraid Notts County can't take it!
Steven Gerrard was a die-hard Liverpool loyalist and could not have left the Reds at this time; Abu is not short of money, and it is impossible to sell the team's number one star.
Forget it, let's try it!
Next, David didn't take the initiative to call Deco again, but waited for Deco to think clearly and then called himself, although Heynckes hoped that David could try to keep Deco, but David couldn't say anything to keep it, and insisted that he had been a super midfielder to stay in the team to play as a substitute, which was really cruel!
The next night, before going to bed, David received a call from Deco that if David was in front of Deco, then he would surely find Deco's bloodshot eyes.
"Boss, I'm sorry!"
Hearing Deco's opening remarks, David knew that Deco had already made a decision.
"No one is sorry for anyone, you have the right to pursue your dreams, maybe from my point of view, I don't want you to leave the team, but, good luck!" There was nothing unusual in David's voice, but only he knew what it tasted like.
"Boss, I didn't promise Bayern, if their conditions can't meet the club's conditions, I won't go!" There was firmness in Deco's words, which made David feel very relieved. (To be continued.) )
