Chapter Ninety-Four: South American Taobao
After Vincent won Chilavert, he needed an equally steady centre-back. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Shang's goal this time is still in Paraguay, and he wants to bring in Chilavert's teammate, Carlos? Alberto? Gamarra? Carlos Alberto Gamarra Pavon, whose name usually appears on the list is Carlos. Gamarra.
The brother is now the main centre-back of the Brazilian international club, and there is something to be done if he wants to get him. But Fan Shang thought about it, and it wasn't easy, so he directly found Chilavet and told him that he wanted to bring in Gamarra.
Without saying a word, Chilavert first called Gamarra, and then took Vincent and François directly to Gamarra's home in Paraguay. Chilavert simply told Gamarra that he was going to Bordeaux and asked if Gamarra would go with him. Fan Shang said next to him that he would give Gamara the position of the main central defender.
Gamarra wasn't as heroic as Chilavet, but he only thought about it for less than 10 minutes before nodding his head in agreement.
Vincent and François then rushed to Brazil to discuss the transfer of Gamara with the international club. The South American club is mainly about recognizing money, and when the money is given, there is no one who cannot be bought. In the end, Vincent spent $1.8 million to impress the Brazilian club, and finally the two sides reached an agreement, and Gamara joined Bordeaux for $1.8 million.
Bordeaux's backline is almost the same, goalkeeper Chilavert, defenders Lizarazu, Distin, Gamarra, and right-back Vincent are ready to use Ramotte, but Vincent still wants to have a ready-to-use reinforcement if he can.
When he was about to walk out of the Brazilian International Club, Fan Shang saw a small player come over for a trial, and Fan Shang looked at this person with some familiarity. So I inquired and learned that the player's name was Lucimar? Ferreira? Reach? Silva (Lucimarda, Silva Ferreira).
Fan Shang searched his memory carefully, but he didn't find out who this person was, watching this player play a few kicks, he felt that the young central defender was not bad.
Next, Fan Shang heard a thunderous name, "Lucio, come over here" A person on the sidelines beckoned to the young man.
"I'll go, Lucio! No wonder it looks so familiar! Fan Shang didn't watch the trial anymore, and went to the door of the club to wait for Lucio.
After a while, Lucio came out, and there was a man who was a little older than him next to him. Vincent first introduced himself, and then posed for Gamarra, who had just joined, and then Vincent successfully abducted Lucio to Bordeaux for free. Lucio played in an amateur team last season with no formal contract, and now he is a free agent, and Vincent has really picked up a big bargain this time. However, Lucio is only 18 years old now, and it will take at least two years to train out, but Fan Shang is not in a hurry.
Fan Shang was quite satisfied with this trip to South America, although he spent 3 million US dollars, but he got the two goals planned, and he also piggybacked on a Lucio, which gave Bordeaux a good complement to the lineup.
After explaining the time of the meeting with Lucio, Vincent and Lucio flew back to Bordeaux with François. Chilavert was going to go with Vincent, but Vincent stopped him, and he told Chilavert to go on vacation first and rest so that he could better devote himself to next season's games.
After returning to Bordeaux, Fan Shang took out the existing list and looked at it and felt that it was still very flawed. Several people on the front line are embarrassed and useful, as far as Drogba is a talent, but he is too young to withstand the attack of the whole Bordeaux.
As for the transfer of players, Hamburg sent inquiries when Vincent and François were in South America, hoping to bring in Hansen. Zidane's Moggi didn't know what he was doing, and Ajax might still be communicating with Witzger.
Fan Shang thought about it, let's send Han Sen away, his strength is not bad, but it is limited to good, and it is difficult to go further. So Fan Shang gave Hamburg back a $2.8 million with reference to Dogang's price, but the Bundesliga has always been frugal in recruitment, and this year Bayern Munich quickly introduced their main center Yankel from Vienna, Austria It cost $800,000, so Hansen's final transaction price is not yet at the bottom of the line.
For the introduction of strikers, Vincent thought for a long time and set his sights on three people, Thierry Henry of Monaco, Shevchenko of Kyiv and Wiltord of Rennes.
The first two were later big names, King Highbury and Ukrainian nuclear warheads. The third was a little bit worse, but he did have his highlights, having scored the equaliser for France in extra-time after coming on as a second-half substitute at Euro 2000, without which France would not have won the title in 2000. However, these three people have a common characteristic that they are fast, and the speed of 100 meters is about 11 seconds, which is what Fan Shang wants. The most defensive striker must be fast, and it is impossible for a striker to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
But these three people didn't just say that they were introduced. In comparison, the most difficult is Wiltord, who scored 15 goals in Ligue 1 last season and was fifth in the scorers' list, and he is only 22 years old, so his value is not too low. However, he only has one year left on his contract with Rennes, and if Vincent wants to bring him in, he can do something about it, and if not, he will go straight to the free transfer next year.
Thierry Henry made his debut at Monaco in 1994 and is now under 20 years of maturity after two years of Ligue 1 training. Monaco will certainly not let go of such a talented man easily, and with Monaco standing a little higher in the league than Bordeaux last year, it will not be easy to bring in Thierry Henry.
As for Shevchenko, Fan Shang does not know the current situation of Dynamo in Kyiv, and does not know whether Shevchenko has any plans to travel west, which are all unknowns.
Fan Shang thought twice and decided to try the water first, so he asked the staff to ask each of the three clubs about it. Then Vincent continued to plan the team's line-up, the strikers had a target, now there are fewer centre-backs, and now they need to find a good centre-back, someone who can stand in the backline with Gamarra at the start of the season.
After racking his brains, Fan Shang didn't come up with any players whose price, level, and reputation matched Bordeaux, so Fan Shang simply looked for it on the list of other teams in Ligue 1, not to mention, he really let Fan Shang find one, which met the requirements in all aspects.
Fan Shang found Cameroon's central defender Rigbert this time? Rigobert Song, who has just turned 20 this year, is already the main central defender of Lens and Cameroon national teams, and he played 33 times for Metz in Ligue 1 last season, and his performance was very good. However, he is a fierce central defender, with good physical fitness, strong confrontation and aggressive play, but he is prone to fight too hard and lose position. Vincent is interested in his bravery, which can complement Gamarra well, he goes to mark people, and Gamarra can calmly deal with his defensive holes after delaying. Of course, African players do not occupy the quota of non-European players in Ligue 1, which is also one of the reasons why Fan Shang wants to bring him in.
But this centre-back should not be easy to bring in. Fan Shang needs to find someone to inquire about the market. Fan Shang made a few phone calls around the bush and waited for news.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had not succeeded in bringing in Zebina in Cannes when he first became the coach of the youth team, and the price of Cannes was 1.5 million francs at that time, and he didn't know if he could get it now, if he could buy a Zebina who could play as a central defender and a full-back, he could also strengthen the bench depth of the back line.
Without saying a word, Fan Shang immediately asked the staff to send out a price for Zebina.
A small club in a small city in Cannes, with average results and lack of money, saw that there were teams that wanted their players, or players from the youth team, so they hurriedly replied, for fear that the buyer would run away. Besides, the relationship between Bordeaux and Cannes is still good, Zidane is a product of Cannes Academy, and after Zidane left in history, Bordeaux looked for a replacement who was also Miku, an outstanding representative of Cannes Academy.
It's still 1.5 million francs, and it seems that Zebina has not performed too well in this year's youth league. However, Fan Shang still had to talk about the price, and returned to Cannes for 800,000 francs, and then looked at the movement over there.
