Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Bolt of Lightning
Updated: 2013-03-26
Dick was very familiar with these two candidates. ใFengyun Reading Network. ใ
Julio? Although Cruise has never played in the main team of the Argentine national team, he is most talked about is his super substitute career at Inter Milan, scoring goals as soon as he plays, never making trouble in the dressing room, saying that he will play as a substitute, and he can adjust his best condition as soon as he comes on the field - it is a blessing for any team to have such a player, but it is none other than Cruise and Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who can do this.
This super substitute is still playing in the Netherlands, and has not yet gone to Italy, so there is indeed a good chance to get him, as for him as a non-EU player, this is not a problem, La Liga now stipulates that a team can have four non-EU players in the squad, and now Atletico Madrid's non-EU players are only Gamarra, Bonovic, Juninho and Solari, and now Solari has transferred away, Juninho is also likely to leave, and Atletico Madrid can now bring in at least two non-EU players.
As for Brazilian striker Jardel...... Now this guy is a man of the hour, although he is Brazilian, but he is strong, a typical center, and more valuable is his scoring ability, when he was in Brazil, he created a terrifying record of 44 goals in 44 appearances in one season, and after coming to Europe, in four seasons in Porto, he scored 131 goals in 125 appearances, except for the second season, when he scored 26 goals in 30 appearances, the other three seasons scored more than 30 goals, The horrific goal percentage, which averages just over a goal per game, is staggering to everyone.
Although he has never shown his quality in the mainstream league, his goal rate in recent seasons has been superb, and such a striker joining Atletico Madrid is also shocking enough!
A Jardel who can bring a lot of goals, a Cruise who can continue to score goals as a substitute, a Torres with unlimited potential, plus a Correa who still has some strength, if these two can be bought, then Atletico Madrid's forward line will definitely not have any problems.
Trezeguet is good, but even if he can be brought in, I am afraid it will cost close to 30 million, and his transfer to Juventus is almost the same number in history, and if this money is used to buy Jadel and Cruz, it is basically enough - two people are certainly more useful than one......
A day later.
"Trezeguet's agent told us that Trezeguet is now only thinking about the European Championship final and not about transfers...... And I heard the news that his agent is now in a hot fight with Juventus. โ
Dick sighed after hearing Marriner's feedback, sure enough, Juventus has always bought people first and then sold people, and now they have Piero, Inzaghi and Kovacevic in their squad, but they still bought Trezeguet, and did not sell Inzaghi until later this season...... It seems unlikely that they will want to snatch Trezeguet from Juventus......
"Then let's turn the course, Jadel, what do you think?" Dick asked Marriner.
"Is that Brazilian who can score goals? It's a good choice, at least it won't have much impact on our forward line after Hasselbaink's departure...... However, just because you can score a lot of goals in Portugal doesn't mean you can score a lot in Spain. Marrina said after a moment's thought.
Dick is also a little stunned by this, Jadel has not played in the mainstream league, he has played in England's Bolton Wanderers and Italy's Ancona, but his performance is very poor, he has not scored a single goal, but think about it, Jadel was twenty-nine years old when he went to Bolton, his body began to decline, he is a player who relies more on his body to eat, and the season before that, he suffered a serious injury at Sporting Lisbon that led to the absence of the second half of the season, and his results were not bad before that- Scored eleven goals in nineteen appearances!
Historically, he continued to perform at the top of his game over the next two seasons, scoring 34 goals in 43 appearances for Galatasaray and 42 goals in 30 appearances for Sporting Lisbon! Even if the state declines, it will be two years later, two years later...... Who cares about it now?
Historically, Jadel went to Galatasaray this summer, even if Galatasaray can play the Champions Cup, I am afraid it is not as attractive as Atletico Madrid, after all, Jadel has played a lot of Champions Cup in Porto, and what attracts him more is the top league, and Atletico Madrid is the team of the top league!
"I bought him...... Because there's no better striker, and he's a good fit, whether it's a single striker or a double striker. Dick said decisively to Marina.
Marriner nodded, Jardel's technical characteristics are indeed like this, he can be both a pure shooter and a tactical center when playing a single striker, and his coordination ability is not bad when playing a double striker, after all, he is Brazilian...... He has not been able to enter the Brazilian national team is not a problem with his strength but his style is incompatible with the style of Brazilian football, this is not only his problem, Bayern's legendary goalscorer Elber also has such a problem, once the Brazilian national team in a friendly match sent a striker partner is Jadel and Elber, after the game the media commented that this game is like three different styles of players formed a Brazilian team, Jadel one style, Elber one style, other Brazilian players one style......
There are many top players who have been abandoned by Brazil for this reason, Deco, Senna, Pepe, Motta...... Elber is a top scorer, but why isn't Jadel? His only bad luck was that he had been outside the mainstream football circle for a few years in his prime, and now, Dick is going to give him this opportunity to let this top scorer show his style in the mainstream league!
Historically, Jadel transferred to Galatasaray this summer, Dick doesn't know how much the transfer fee is, but Turkey is not a league that can spend money on stars in a few years, no matter how much it will be, when Tristan and Trezeguet are both expected goals are impossible to bring in, Dick must take Jadel in order to have a stronger chip next season to hit higher honors.
The club gave him more than 40 million transfer funds and gave him the right to completely control the team, but it was not for him to lead the team to relegation again and then win a Copa del Rey, there must be a higher pursuit, in fact, the intention of the old Hill is already obvious - the league, the top four! League Cup, strive for the championship! That's what Atletico is aiming for the new season!
To accomplish this, it is not enough to rely on existing players, Dick also needs to build a stronger team.
The midfield has been solved, and now the problem is the front, and then the back line - this is also the order of the positions that Dick values, the most important is the midfield, then the striker, and finally the back line - in a league atmosphere like La Liga, if you want to be more popular, using better attacking tactics is naturally king.
In the days that followed, Atletico attacked both Jardel and Cruz.
Their opponents are not too strong, but they are not weak either, with Galatasaray also pursuing Jadel and Serie A's Bologna pursuing Cruz.
Dick, on the other hand, appeared in Portugal two days later.
He came to Portugal to be on the safe side, because he didn't know what methods Galatasaray used in history to get Jadel to agree to join - because at that time, it can be said that quite a lot of European giants were interested in Jadel, so that many people were very surprised when Jadel decided to join Galatasaray, because with his performance in Porto, even if he can't go to those top giants in the big four leagues, it is absolutely no problem to go to the teams in the middle and upper leagues......
The only possibility is that Galatasaray has come up with some plan that can impress him, and Dick comes to impress Jadel with a better plan.
Dick met this stout Brazilian - Jardel is 1.88 meters tall, weighs 76 kilograms, and is indeed a mighty man - such Brazilian players are not absent, but they often play defensive positions, and it is indeed rare for Jadel to play a name for himself in offensive positions.
This is also the tragedy of Jadel, with his scoring ability and physique, if he was born in a European football powerhouse, whether it is Germany, Italy or the Netherlands and France, it is very likely to occupy a pivotal position in the national team, but just like Di Canio is in Italy, he was born in the wrong country, and even in the club he is not as lucky as Elber, who played for a giant like Bayern at the peak of his career, although he was not successful in the national team, However, he is considered a top star because of his performances at Bayern, and although Jadel has won four league titles in Porto, he is still praised for not doing well in the main leagues.
"Want to prove yourself in a major league?"
Dick looked at Jadel in front of him, and the first sentence he said when he opened his mouth was like this.
Jardel's originally calm face immediately changed a little - this is the most important thing in his heart, in the previous Copa America, he was selected for the Brazilian national team, but his performance was mediocre, completely unable to integrate into the whole Brazilian team, and he also suffered the same as Elber, two like-minded strikers had a chat in the national team, Jardel still remembers what Elber said: "It seems that we can't do anything good in the national team...... Let's concentrate on playing at the club, I missed the Champions Cup in the first two seasons, and this season, I'm going to attack the Champions Cup! For me, it's my World Cup! โ
Jardel was deeply shaken by these words, which was the biggest reason why he wanted to leave Porto, a club he had been playing for for four years, and although Porto were the Portuguese dominant, they were no longer too competitive in Europe, and it was almost impossible to even reach the knockout stages in the past few seasons.
However, while there are many big clubs interested in him, there are no real big clubs - Barcelona are busy keeping Figo and Rivaldo, Real Madrid are dealing with Nicolas Anelka, Deportivo has an eye on Tristan, Inter Milan already have Vieri and Ronaldo, AC Milan have Shepchenko, Manchester United are pursuing Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arsenal have Thierry Henry, Liverpool have Owen...... These giants don't seem to want to get him at too much price.
The only ones who are really making action now are Galatasaray from Turkey and Atletico Madrid from Spain.
Going to Turkey, Jadel is not very willing, is this very different from staying in Porto? And Atletico Madrid can only play in the League Cup, which also makes him a little unwilling.
At this time, the first words that Jose, who met for the first time, hit his heart like a bolt of lightning.
