Section 401 Reinforcements from Wolfsburg
The wave of summer transfers really looks a little bad for Gao Shunyao. Although he didn't think that Wolfsburg had a deep relationship with him, he was never able to see Wolfsburg as a springboard with extremely professional eyes. Watching Wolfsburg be flocked to a group of teams this summer, you tear a bite and I bite it, and it is difficult for him to be happy.
After all, there are many teams that wither and wither after a while. Wolfsburg also doesn't have too many advantages compared to the previous teams that have shown their side, which also makes Gao Shunyao worry that this team will go downhill. He's already decided to stay, and if the team falls apart and doesn't play well, of course it's hard for him to accept.
What he could see, Wolfsburg's management could clearly see. And they naturally don't want this to happen. Compared to the previous teams, when Wolfsburg didn't want this to happen, they also had a certain way to stop this perverted thing. It's not that their management is more competent, but at the end of the day, Wolfsburg has an advantage that no other small team can match.
They have money.
Historically, Wolfsburg were weak, but financially they weren't poor. There are some poor people in the Bundesliga, but Wolfsburg is definitely not one of them. Anyway, they are also behind the public, and this team has plenty of money. Other teams, after getting good results, often can't afford it because of the rising wages of the players, and they can only sell people to survive, but for Wolfsburg, this is the case. It doesn't exist.
Although it is a joke to say that Klopp spits about paying a little more money than Dortmund, it is talking about money. They really don't lack much.
The difference between a rich team and a poor team is that after the rich team wins the championship. is willing to pay for the second reinforcement. Even if there are other teams poaching their people, the rich team can continue to spend money to maintain their fighting power, which is the best place to be a rich man.
And Wolfsburg did just that this year. Although they themselves were poached by Nemanja Matic, they did not abandon their midfield defence or decided to replace Matic with a worse player. Now that Nemanja Matic is gone, find a defender with a bigger name, and that's what Wolfsburg is going to do.
And they're looking at it at this time. It is Bayern's defender Gustavo.
Many giants have changed their head coaches this summer, and after the change of coaches, on the one hand, the giants may indeed need to bring in talent, so they are digging for new talents, and on the other hand, this may also cause the giants to need to clean up their team's overly bloated lineup and let all the players who are not needed leave. And for Bayern, Gustavo is such a player, as a midfielder. A departure from Bayern is now being sought.
As a midfielder, Gustavo's level is not bad, his defensive ability is full, and he is definitely not below Nemanja Matic. It's a pity. Players should not only look at their own strength, but also look at the strength of their competitors. The team he was on was Bayern, which did make him a little helpless. Nemanja Matic at Wolfsburg. Can be in the best team of the Bundesliga, and he is at Bayern. I can't even get into the main lineup.
Bayern's two midfielders, Piggy and Martinez, can be said to be world-class midfielders. The combination of the two of them last season is considered one of the important reasons why Bayern were able to win the Champions League. Competing against these two world-class figures, it will be difficult for anyone to win.
Moreover, if it was only last year, it would have been fine, but this year, Bayern's coach was Pep Guardiola. Nationally, Guardiola certainly prefers Martinez as a Spaniard, technically a technical coach and his penchant for technical talent is known worldwide. The coming to power of such a coach is basically equivalent to depriving Gustavo of all hope of competing for the main team by hard work, and he will naturally have a hard time settling down.
And this year is especially 2013, which has promoted his idea.
As a player, Gustavo's journey with the national team has been quite difficult, as he officially joined the Brazilian team very late, and his position there has not been particularly stable. Seeing that the World Cup is imminent, especially the World Cup that is being staged at his own doorstep, Gustavo naturally hopes to perform in the World Cup, so he can't find an opportunity in Bayern, so he decided to leave Bayern and seek development in other teams.
And Wolfsburg is obviously the best place for him. Nemanja Matic has just gone here, and there is a lack of defenders. Wolfsburg needs a defender, Gustavo is just able to adapt to the tactical needs of Wolfsburg, and Wolfsburg have just won the Bundesliga, they still have the Champions League to play next year, there is no shortage of attention, and if you play well in this team, maybe you can also enter the national team.
Because of this, he and Wolfsburg hit it off. And after he decided on the transfer, Bayern did not set up many obstacles: Bayern's team has always been extremely generous in most of the transactions that will not break the bones. Unless Ribery wants to go to Real Madrid, they refuse to let go of the trade, and the other deals, they are still taking care of the players. Gustavo's transfer did not mean to extort a sum of money, and even the transfer fee was lower than that of Nemanja Matic.
If this deal goes through, then Wolfsburg's strength will not be damaged much by Nemanja Matic's departure. However, the success of this deal is not enough to prove that Wolfsburg wants to continue to go strong. Therefore, in addition to making this transaction, Wolfsburg are also making other plans to bring in other players.
For example, they also need to bring in players on the wings.
Last season's Wolfsburg, there were almost no substitutes available on the side, and the Taobao players brought in by Magath at a low price were not very easy to use, and they could not meet the team's expectations of wanting to compete for the championship. And this season, after winning the championship, Wolfsburg's morale has risen a lot, on the one hand, in order to expand the squad and stabilize people's hearts, on the other hand, it is also unwilling to let Magath spend money in vain, and the management also made the decision at this time and decided to buy Hannover's wing player Stindl.
Stindl is a player who has recently become famous in the Bundesliga on the German wing, although his skills are not particularly excellent, but he has both offense and defense, and can play a very good role on the wing. He was in Hannover and he was always eye-catching. The German media have always said that in the next five years, he will be one of the strong contenders for Germany's main right-wing player, and he can be regarded as a star.
Of course, Germany is not a place rich in wide players, and the main players of the German team on the wing are not necessarily world-class players. However, for Wolfsburg, they are still very interested in the name. First, they do need a wide substitute, and secondly, Wolfsburg has always been complained about as a foreigner team, and they have a serious lack of German players in their team, which also makes them want to bring in one or two local players, so Stindl is also a good reinforcement for Wolfsburg.
In order to bring him in, Wolfsburg also paid a price of 9 million euros - this price is a bit expensive to buy a rotation substitute, but next year is the World Cup, at this time, there are few players willing to transfer, not much money, who is willing to play in other teams?
The big tournament is coming, and most of the players who can play the main team will not want to transfer for the sake of the big game. Wolfsburg wants to buy people, in addition to paying a high price, it can only rely on picking up some players who can't play to complete their own reinforcements.
Fortunately, such players are not uncommon, for example, after Wolfsburg brought in Stindl, they also noticed the transfer of another player.
Marin, who is at Chelsea, is now also looking for a deal.
When Marco Marin played in Germany, he could be said to be famous. He was known as the German Messi at the time, and he played quite well at Borussia Mönchenchen, and Reuss was stunned at the beginning. However, as his fame grew, Marin also chose to find his way out of the big clubs, and in the summer of '12, he chose to move to Chelsea to make his career there.
However, he overlooked that it may not be easy for German attacking players to develop abroad, and Chelsea, who have no low requirements for results, are clearly not a good place for a young man like him to develop. While Marin has always played well in Germany, he has not played well during his time at Chelsea. Unable to adapt to the kind of confrontation in the Premier League, he was unable to integrate into Chelsea. There, he first got the opportunity to play, and when the team changed coaches, he finally got the opportunity to play, but he never played at the level he should have. He became yet another example of a player who was clearly a talented player but couldn't play in a big club, and doing nothing was definitely the best word to describe his Chelsea career.
And this year, after Mourinho took charge of Chelsea, he refused to tolerate him any longer. Mourinho's preferred attacking player is one who can participate in defence and contribute in a variety of ways. And Marin's physical fitness also determines that he is not this material. What's more, as soon as Mourinho came to power, he also announced the introduction of Schurrle from Germany - as a German genius who is more famous than Marin, the arrival of Schurrle will also squeeze out Marin's possible opportunities, so Marin had to choose to leave at this time.
Marin has been at Chelsea for a year and Wolfsburg is not sure how much quality he has left. But he was able to recover, and that was a good addition to Wolfsburg. Although Chelsea's refusal to accept a loan offer at this time and the willingness to trade was a bit tough, Wolves decided to grit their teeth and buy Marin.
Even if you buy bones, you have to buy them. Because only by doing so, Wolfsburg can prove to the outside world that they have not thought about the idea of dying, and only in this way can those good players be willing to stay. (To be continued.) )
