Chapter 176: Barcelona's 'Four Demon Boys' (Alliance Leader [Junco-17] Plus 5/12)
Argentina national team captain Roberto. Ayala shocked Spanish football by joining La Liga promotion team Ibiza on a free transfer.
rejected invitations from Villarreal, Osasuna, Zaragoza and other first-class teams, and considering that Ayala also rejected the invitation of Real Madrid last season, it also caused a wave of media hype about the Argentine veteran's choice to join a promoted Polo team in La Liga.
Subsequently, some media broke that Ayala chose to join Ibiza because 'Ibiza offered a contract that the Argentines could not refuse'.
This also attracted criticism and ridicule from some media, and the newspaper "As" criticized the Argentines for being slaves to money.
However, such criticism is in the minority, and Ayala pursued a big pension contract in the final days of his career, which in itself is nothing to blame, and everyone is just surprised that he turned down an offer from a La Liga team to go to La Liga.
Moreover, just in the middle of last month, Ayala has officially announced his retirement from the Argentine national team, and he wants to concentrate on enjoying the last years of his career, which makes it easier to understand Ayala's thoughts.
The media is surprised, it is criticized.
None of this can change the fact that Ayala has joined Ibiza.
For the first time, the relevant people and media in Spanish football have finally begun to pay attention to Ibiza, a small island team promoted from La Liga.
The most immediate response was that some bookmakers quickly adjusted the odds on Ibiza's relegation.
Well, yes, in the past, despite having a star like Deisler, Ibiza, as a promoted team, was still considered one of the relegation favorites, but the ranking was slightly better than the other three promoted horses, and now, Ibiza with Ayala at the back and Deisler at the front has been removed from the relegation favorites.
The prediction of the betting agency for Ibiza in the new season of the La Liga is that the hope of relegation has increased greatly, and if you are lucky, you may even hope to rank more than a dozen in the league, for a promoted polo team, and it is the first time in history that the promoted horse team can have such a prediction, which is already very optimistic about Ibiza.
……
For Ayala's joining, the happiest thing is the Ibiza fans, the captain of the Argentine national team (former) and the former top defender in world football, which is a huge improvement in Ibiza's strength, and the club is willing to pay a high salary to attract big-name stars to join, which also makes Ibiza fans see the club's ambitions.
And for the Ibiza team, the addition of a championship-level player like Ayala is very morale-boosting.
Although Ibiza currently has Deisler, it can be considered a young team overall, especially with their manager Fang Jue bringing in young players one after another.
Such a vigorous team, energetic and energetic, however, lack of experience and stability, in this case, with Deisler in the front and Ayala in the back, the stability of the team will be greatly improved.
In Fang Jue's view, with Ayala and Deisler, the young people can grow up next to top stars, which is very important for the healthy development of the team.
The impact of Ayala's joining on the team, which can be seen from the training, the old captain of the Argentine national team is very leader-like, very respected by young people, and Ayala is also willing to communicate with young people more, give them guidance, and the atmosphere in the whole team is working well.
As for the team's other big name, Sebastian. Deisler, Fang Jue had been worried that Deisler had a tendency to develop in the direction of comics, but since wearing the captain's armband, Deisler has become more and more calm.
……
The arrival of Ayala is a shock to the rest of Ibiza's centre-backs, as the Argentine veteran is certainly at the heart of the defence, and Frenchman Koscielny is now heavily used by Fang Jue, so the team's main centre-backs Llorente and Mesotho last season will definitely be affected.
Fang Jue thought that Mesoto and Llorente would propose a transfer, however, what surprised him was that the mood of the two people was quite stable, and they were more serious in training, what did the two players think, Fang Jue didn't care, they were willing to stay in the team, Fang Jue would only be happy, Llorente and Mesoto were still capable of being qualified substitutes, and these two players could rotate with Koscielny.
In this case, there was no need for Tolisso, the team's original centre-back substitute, to stay in the team, and the player himself was clearly aware of this, and two days later, Tolisso moved to Leganés in the Spanish second division for 60,000 euros.
Also departing on this day was the team's substitute striker Oliver, who joined Atletico Roca in the Spanish second division for 50,000 euros.
A day later, another Ibiza player departed, and the team's substitute left-back Victor Victor Victor Ibiza left back. Rioja moved to Putoliano in La Liga B for 60,000 euros.
At the same time, Fang Jue will also be the youth team's 18-year-old goalkeeper Alberto. Toledo was promoted to the first team as the team's third goalkeeper.
……
Fang Jue has always wanted to bring in another playmaker in the transfer market, who can be rotated with Pjanic to complement each other.
On the day of August 22, a newspaper report caught his attention.
This report follows up on the dispute between Arsenal and Barcelona over Arsene Wenger 'stealing' Cesc Fabregas.
Cesc Fabregas was poached by Arsenal at the age of 16.
At that time, when the leadership of Barcelona was in turmoil, Fabregas did not sign a professional contract, only a youth apprenticeship contract, Wenger had been concerned about Fabregas for a while, seeing this opportunity, Arsenal immediately took action, and the professor asked Fabregas's parents to go to London to discuss how to cultivate Fabregas.
It is said that the professor had been secretly observing Fabregas for a year before, and Fabregas also knew that his position at Barcelona was awkward.
Therefore, Cesc Fabregas is also willing to go to London to work hard.
And just like that, Cesc Fabregas went to Arsenal.
However, after the turmoil in Barcelona was temporarily eased, he was "surprised" that he had cultivated a big baby for so many years, and Fabregas, one of the team's "four demon boys", was actually poached, so he was unwilling to let such a gem of La Masia's academy be poached, Barcelona sued Arsenal in court with a complaint, and the two sides officially went to court.
