Chapter 68: Summer transfers in Granada
Sports-type computer or console games can be said to be played by almost every man, whether he is young or adult. Even though he is a father of several children, he still plays with it once in a while.
In the sports genre, soccer games can be said to be either first or second on the most popular charts, after all, it is the most popular ball game in the world. Football games can also be roughly divided into operation type and control type.
Operational, as the name suggests, is to control a player or a team in human-machine battles or between players. Among the soccer games around the world, the action-oriented soccer game is the "Pro Evolution Soccer" of KONAMI from Japan and the "FIFA" of EA from the United States.
The control type, on the other hand, is generally the manager or manager of a team, by buying players, managing the team's roster, and even handling team-related matters, such as commercial sponsorship. So you can build a club or national team that you want to do.
However, unlike the dichotomy of the operation soccer game, the current control soccer game in the world is basically the "soccer manager" game jointly developed by SI from the United Kingdom and SEGA from Japan. There used to be a "FIFA Football Manager" game for EA, but EA gave it up a long time ago.
Of course, as a smartphone that almost everyone owns at the moment, there are also many other types of football games, such as cards. But although there are many players who play that genre, in terms of influence, they still can't compare to the three games mentioned above.
Although many players prefer soccer games that are control-based, of course, many soccer players also like them. If you come across an IP from Spain but whose nationality is Argentine, and if you are still ahead of the player for a few minutes before the end of the game, and the player decisively chooses to "pull the line" when he finds that there is no hope of defeating you.
So, don't use the most classic swear in the language you are most familiar with, but think about whether it meets the above key factors. If all is confirmed, then you can immediately log in to your Facebook, Twitter or Weibo, and send a WeChat Moments message even if it is not good. It reads directly:
"Just now I looked like I beat the number 10 of Barcelona."
Yes, it is possible that professional footballers may not necessarily be able to beat the fans when it comes to football games.
However, control soccer games are also very marketable among professional players. For example, when the game "Football Manager" was still called "CM Football Manager", Albertini, the vice-captain of AC Milan at the time, was a loyal player of this game. And now, more professional players, such as Victor, are also obsessed with the game.
And in this game, in fact, the player's favorite is not to lead the team to win one championship after another, of course, there are such players. And more players, in fact, are looking forward to the transfer window in the game.
Ji Qin has been a fan of the game "Football Manager" before, but when he sat in the conference room of Granada FC, he was joined by president Jiang Lizhang, head coach Martinez and Granada's chief scout Santos Omers to discuss Granada's summer transfers.
It is also worth mentioning that Mainz, Granada's assistant coach, went to the under-19 team as head coach, and Martinez, who is assistant coach, recommended Raul Espinola.
Espinola has known Martinez for a long time, playing under Martinez when he was a player, and it is not a team, but two clubs, Amelia Arez and Motril, but both amateur teams.
"First of all, Granada came back to La Liga last season as La Liga champions, Martinez, you did a great job!" Before the start of the meeting, Jiang Lizhang first praised the head coach who contributed to the promotion of the team last season.
Martinez smiled and thanked him for leading Granada to promotion as the champion of La Liga, which is also an important resume in his career!
"Also, let's welcome our old friend Ji Qin to the club's board of directors, who will share a 30% stake in Granada with world star Zlatan Ibrahimovic!" After praising Martinez, Jiang Lizhang introduced Ji Qin to the colleagues present.
Martinez and Omers naturally know about Wulei's agent, and they have long heard that he has become Ibrahimovic's agent in the United States, but they didn't expect to become their boss in a flash, and they also brought Ibrahimovic to the team from many giants!
Martinez never dreamed that he would one day become the head coach of the Swedish god Tayyib, think of the head coach who once coached Ibrahimovic, from Fabio Capello of Juventus to Roberto Mancini of Inter Milan, to Josep Guardiola of Barcelona and even Shelotto of the LA Galaxy, that is the existence of world famous coaches!
When he calmed down, Martinez also doubted whether he would be able to hold down the famous madman, especially after learning that he and Ji Qin had acquired a 30% stake in Granada.
However, before his worries became a reality, Ji Qin personally visited Martinez and made it clear that although he and Ibrahimovic became shareholders of Granada, they would never interfere with his power as a head coach because of this, which made Martinez feel at ease.
The meeting didn't take long as the specific transfer list was already set before the start of the transfer window, but there were some additional matters to be discussed.
First of all, England's former genius Jack Rodwell is the first player to join the team, and fans are more optimistic about this transfer to Granada, although Rodwell is called a fallen talent, but he is also a talented player, and Rodwell also accepted a salary cut free transfer, which is also a good thing for the club's finances.
After signing Ibrahimovic, the "new Bergkamp" David Klaassen also announced that he would join Granada, but because he was the main star in his playing years, Granada not only did not cut his salary but also gave him a lucrative contract.
As for the loan of the Brazilian talented player Vinicius, he was also accepted by Real Madrid, Vinicius joined Granada on loan for one season, and Granada will bear Vinicius's weekly salary of up to 74,000 per week for a season!!
Then, on the right, "Bantam" Ryan Fraser opted to renew his contract with Bournemouth, so Granada had to return in vain. However, Leeds United's England potential star Jack Clark, under the unremitting "seduction" of Granada, finally nodded and agreed to be willing to join Granada, although Leeds United was unwilling to let go, but the youngster had already made up his mind, and could only pinch his nose and agree to Granada's offer of 11 million euros.
In this way, Granada spent more than 30 million euros to complete the reinforcement of all positions in the team, but it still faces a problem, what to do with the introduction of defenders among the three conditions for Ibrahimovic's transfer to Granada?
