Chapter Seventy-Seven: Striker Candidates

Updated: 2013-03-26

Dick then lived a more leisurely time, with the sign of "go and see if there are any suitable players", Dick traveled to the Netherlands and Belgium at his official expense, wandering around to watch the games, and his whereabouts also attracted a lot of attention from the Spanish media, so there were always people who came to ask him what he thought about certain games......

So Dick became a god stick again, and when Spain lost to Norway in the first game, Dick openly declared in the newspaper that Spain would definitely qualify from the group! And they will come out as the first in the group!

After saying this, many people were skeptical, but Dick's prediction soon proved to be correct, Spain defeated Slovenia in the second round, and then defeated Yugoslavia in the final game of the thrilling 4-3, and entered the quarterfinals of the European Championship as the group leader!

While the cheers began at home in Spain, Dick poured cold water on everyone, saying in an interview after the match that it was not necessarily a good thing to finish first in the group at this time......

Sure enough, in the draw ceremony, Spain drew the World Cup champion France, and it is indeed not too good news to meet such a strong team in the first game of the knockout round......

In the end, in the quarter-finals, Spain relied on Mendieta's penalty to save a point after falling behind 0-2, but unfortunately the penalty they won again before the end was knocked away by Raul, and Spain lost 1-2 to the French national team and missed the semi-finals of the European Championship. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

When the Spanish national team returned home dejected, Dick also returned to China, and after the European Championship entered the final four competitions, his work will gradually unfold.

"Sevilla, who have just been relegated, is a treasure trove...... I think we were able to get some defenders from their squad. Marina told Dick: "They have a couple of young centre-backs who are quite good, and even if they can't be the main players, it's okay to be a substitute...... Héctor, 26 years old, right-back, well-balanced, also has good assist ability, did well in Sevilla last season, Aguilera is not young, such a right-back can rotate with him. Carlos? Marchena, a twenty-one-year-old young centre-back, also became a regular in Sevilla last season, whether it is a main player or a substitute, the key is that Sevilla have been relegated, and if we can say that the players themselves, their value will not be too high. ”

Dick nodded clearly, the team's relegation means that the value of the players has shrunk, and at the same time, they themselves take the salary of La Liga players, if they go to La Liga to play, it will have a lot of damage to the club's finances, which is why La Liga teams sell players after relegation, and the value will always be lower than usual - at this time, even if it is a low price, it needs to be sold, otherwise the impact on the finances will be greater!

Dick is also more satisfied with these two players, and knows very well that Marchena later went to Valencia and is still the main force of the national team, while Héctor went to Deportivo La Coruna, which is also the main force of Deportivo La Coruna, not to mention anything else, these two people play the main substitute, and there is no problem at all.

"As for the left side...... Mallorca's left-back, Davy, who was a substitute last season, seems to want to move away, while Aragonés is not very interested in him and we can bring him in for a modest price. ”

The name Davy Dick is also very familiar, and later he seems to have gone to Sevilla, and for a long time was the main force of Sevilla, until he was older, Sevilla's left-back became the untimely death of Puerta, who is also a strong player in La Liga.

Dick knows that if you want to put together the main lineup, buying stars or future stars is a must, but in the bench position, this kind of ability to fight is also indispensable.

'That's all three, and if they come in, we're going to get a lot of solidity at the back...... By the way, have any players in the squad submitted transfer requests? Dick asked.

Marriner handed over a note, then nodded: "Yes, and there are quite a few ......"

That's a lot.

Juninho, Serena, Leal, Hasselbaink......

These four are all players in the main squad, but the substitutes have not submitted many transfer applications, such as Paulovic and Bejbur, and among the players who have been reduced to substitutes, only Toni, a former Spanish international, has applied for a transfer.

"Agree to their transfer request...... It's just that if they don't deserve their value, we won't let them go. ”

After a cursory look, he saw that there was no Belleron, Baraja, and Capdevilla, which were the main forces in his mind, and Dick was relieved, although Juninho and they were the main players used by Dick last season, but since he is a new coach, it is normal to change to a group of fresh blood, in fact, Serena may not want to leave, but Atletico Madrid's introduction of Makelele is tantamount to telling him that you have no main position, At the same time, the arrival of Capdevilla and Vicente has also made Juninho and Leal feel the crisis, and they have not been in Atletico Madrid for long, so they naturally want to go where they value them more.

As for Hasselbaink, he has no shortage of places to go, and he will have better options.

'It's okay for a couple of midfielders to leave, in fact Juninho is not in my plans for next season, with three new signings and a core like Belleron and Baraja and a substitute like Bonovic and Beybur, we have enough in the midfield, but in the front line, we need to speed up."

Marriner nodded deeply, he understood the current situation on Atletico Madrid's forward line - the four strikers of last season, Kiko has terminated his contract with the club, Lardin's contract expires and leaves, Hasselbaink has applied for a transfer again, and there is only one Correa who can stay, and it is simply impossible not to buy strikers in this situation......

'I need one or two strikers, at least one. I'm going to get Torres out of the second team, so that even if he can't play in the main team, at least he will get a better chance of training...... I also need a striker who can bring in a lot of goals. Dick said to Marina.

"Tristan is a good choice......" Marriner said.

"It's a good choice, but he won't come to our team, all he thinks about is Real Madrid, and even if Real Madrid doesn't want him, he will go to Deportivo La Coruna, who can play in the Champions League...... The striker's ambitions are still relatively large......" Dick said, shaking his head.

"That'...... Salva? He was the top scorer in La Liga last season. Marriner continued to propose.

Dick laughed: "It's just a shooter who broke out by chance...... A lot of fans might be happy to buy him, but I'm not optimistic that he's going to be a top player. - Historically, it was this Salva, who unexpectedly chose to join Atletico Madrid, who was relegated to La Liga at that time, after winning the top scorer in La Liga, he was able to score 27 goals in 36 games in La Liga, but only scored 20 goals in 33 games in La Liga, and then both in Valencia and Bolton Wanderers were mediocre, although he can't be said to be a parallel product, but at least it proves that he is not a top scorer.

"That'...... Raul? Tamudo? Marriner hesitated.

"The Spaniards don't let people go easily." Dick replied with a smile.

"There's not much to choose in the country." Seeing Dick say this, Marriner could only spread his hands helplessly......

"I think that French kid is good, David? Trezeguet. Young, with potential, able to score goals, not a small reputation. Dick finally said what he was aiming for.

"It's hard to operate." Marriner thought about it for a moment and said.

Dick knows this very well, Trezeguet made a name for himself at Monaco four years ago, also played in the World Cup in '98 and scored goals, this time also a member of the French national team, he scored 22 league goals in Monaco last season, such an excellent striker, is targeted by many clubs, at least not easily poached by Atletico Madrid.

"I know it's going to be difficult, but we can do whatever we can to do it." Dick smiled and said: "Vicente, Camoranesi and Makelele cost us 28 million, Solari cashed out 7 million, we still have 24 million transfer funds to operate, even if it is all on him, as long as we can smash him, then we are successful!" ”

Looking at the glint of excitement in Dick's eyes, Marriner felt that he should remind Dick: "Don't forget that we have to buy at least four defenders ......"

"Júniño L'Alayal Serena Hasselbaink will be able to cash out at least $30 million, don't worry about that, even if we use more than $30 million on Trezeguet. Make an offer to the Monaco club and at the same time approach Trezeguet and let him know our sincerity, understand? ”

Marriner nodded, Dick also made sense, if Hasselbaink leaves, he must bring in at least one striker of sufficient weight, so as to make the team appear imposing in the transfer market and make everyone more confident in Atletico Madrid!

After Marriner left his office, Dick thought for a moment, then sighed.

"It's hard, it's really hard for Trezeguet to get it...... He probably won't talk about it after the European Championships, and for young players like him, it is in their best interest to move after they have achieved good results in the tournament...... Looks like I'm going to need to find a backup. ”

Stroking the ring on his hand, Dick decisively used two search cards.

"A substitute striker, who has the quality to score goals and who is willing to be a substitute."

"A striker who can bring a lot of goals and has a lot of fame."

After entering such a command, the two search cards immediately began to glow with dazzling light, and soon, the light disappeared, and then two names appeared in front of Dick.

"Julio? Cruise, playing for Feyenoord. ”

"Jadel, for Porto."

Dick let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the two names that appeared in front of him, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Originally...... I actually ignored these two people, the players that can be found in these two search cards are all possible for Atletico Madrid to introduce, and Trezeguet is not among them, which proves that it is almost impossible for Atletico Madrid to introduce Trezeguet - think about it, in history, Trezeguet transferred to Juventus at a high price after scoring the golden goal in this European Championship final, with Atletico Madrid's current status, how can he compete with Juventus? And Trezeguet would be better off staying at Monaco than coming to Atletico Madrid, after all, Monaco can play the Champions Cup......
