Chapter 1130: Go and stay
The end of one season also marks the beginning of another, and although there will be a break in between, it is impossible for the club to rest even at this time.
Transfers are an eternal topic, and teams can bring in some people, but others will inevitably leave.
Some players are reluctant to stay at the Bernabeu for their own reasons, while others feel that they have already won the glory they want and should make more money next, so leaving Real Madrid and panning for gold elsewhere is not an option.
Lin Yu has already renewed his contract, so he doesn't have this problem, after the end of the season, he began to make money everywhere, which is the result of him pushing off a lot of endorsements, otherwise, he would probably be tired on the way to endorsements.
In the past, he asked others for endorsements, but now the world is frantically looking for him to endorse, it is really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
Lin Yu is a very grudgeful person, you can also say that he is small-minded, anyway, for those who once looked down on him and even refused to let him endorse him in a rude way, he also used the same attitude to keep the other party out.
"Lao Tzu doesn't lack your money!"
Lin Yu said this in front of the media, when you needed money before, these goods couldn't come, and now the money can't be spent, what else are you going to do?
For such a thing, Lin Yu's fans of course support Lin Yu, but some media say that Lin Yu is too cautious and narrow-minded.
Lin Yu responded disdainfully: "What about being narrow-minded? I don't have to be generous to those people! ”
When Lin Yu was busy renewing his contract with the previous endorsers and shooting commercials. There was something unexpected happening at the club.
Pepe's contract expired and the club promised him a one-year extension. But he was asked to take a pay cut, which was unacceptable to Pepe. Although he is old, he doesn't want to take a pay cut to stay at Real Madrid as a substitute, which is very boring.
So at this moment, Pepe announced that he became a free agent and joined the ranks of free transfers, some people said that he wanted to go to the major leagues in the United States to pan for gold, others said that he wanted to go to Central Asia to pan for gold, and some people said that he wanted to go to the Portuguese league for the rest of his life.
Lin Yu saw this news on the accompanying ins, and he felt very helpless. But in fact, he has long thought of this ending, when you are old and weak, if you still refuse to reduce your salary, then you can only leave, after all, the club is not a charity.
He replied to Pepe: "Brother, wherever you go, I bless you, what is there to help." Can be contacted promptly. ”
"Thank you, my friend, it's been a pleasure playing with you over the past few years." Pepe also quickly replied to Lin Yu.
It's a bit sad, but football is like that, it's coming. Naturally, there are people who go, which is really normal.
If Pepe's departure is inevitable, then Di Maria's departure. It's shocking.
Lin Yu didn't expect Di Maria to choose to leave at this time, which surprised him. Even Real Madrid's club hierarchy, including Zinedine Zidane, was surprised.
Di Maria did not disclose the reason for his departure. He simply tweeted: "I was going to leave here a long time ago, but I didn't leave for all sorts of reasons, and now that I've won the Champions League treble I've always dreamed of, it's time to go. ”
Lin Yu asked three whys in a row in Twitter.
Di Maria's answer seemed helpless, and he kept saying "I'm sorry!" ”
In fact, he didn't feel sorry for anyone, and Lin Yu didn't want such an answer, he just didn't understand, why did he leave when he had already established himself in the main position?
In the end, Di Maria left with a strong heart, and his name appeared on Real Madrid's transfer list.
Almost at the same time, Harvey. Alonso announced his retirement.
"I'm very happy to have been with Real Madrid for another season and to get the honour that others have coveted, I don't want to leave my teammates, I really want to keep going, but lately the injuries have been getting more frequent and my body is not able to adapt to the game, I think it's time to retire, forgive me for choosing this decision at this time because I can't face the sad eyes of you!"
This is a quote from Alonso's Twitter, he chose to announce his retirement when most of the players were on vacation, and he really didn't want everyone to face the sadness.
For Harvey. Alonso's retirement, Lin Yu actually felt it, with the frequent occurrence of injuries, this result can actually be expected, so he expressed his admiration for Alonso on Twitter: "He is definitely a qualified fighter, a perfect midfield master, his long pass, like a precision guided missile, his departure is definitely a big loss to football, but I really wish him, and you can often come to the Bernabeu to see after hanging up your boots." ”
These three people either transferred or retired, which can be regarded as having a relatively large impact, but in fact, there are Arbeloa who left after the end of this season.
The original main right wing-back has had few opportunities since Carvajal arrived, and even lost his international qualification, so for him, Real Madrid succeeded, but he failed, and it makes sense that he decided to transfer.
Lin Yu and Arbeloa are not particularly familiar, but they can be regarded as some friendships, so he also gave Arbeloa his own blessings, no matter what, they are teammates who have worked together all these years, and he hopes that Arbeloa can go well.
Fortunately, the sad thing ended here, the other players all successfully renewed their contracts, captain Casillas also planned to stay, and Ramos was willing to take a salary cut to stay, because he promised Lin Yu that he would wait for the fifth consecutive Champions League title together, and there were only two seasons left, and he could persevere.
Now, Real Madrid needs to add some new soldiers, and the bench thickness was a bit insufficient last season, so Real Madrid had to give up the Copa del Rey and Club World Cup. The transfer of the transfer must also be bought.
Zidane did a detailed analysis and planning. He handed over a transfer list to Raul and walked away. He also has to have his own vacation, and as for the transfer, it will be left to Raul.
Real Madrid needs to add a lot of players this season, goalkeepers, central defenders, left-backs, right-backs, and even midfielders.
There is not much to say about the goalkeeper position, although Casillas is in good shape now, but he is old after all, and Real Madrid cannot bet their hopes entirely on Casillas. They need to find a young goalkeeper to replace Casillas so that there is hope for the future.
Yes, Casillas is still in good form and doesn't seem to need a replacement, but you know, the club can't wait until Casillas' form deteriorates and then look for a suitable replacement, then it's too late.
The goalkeeper is different from other positions. What is needed in this position is consistency and consistency, and Casillas no longer meets that requirement, and the reason why he can stay is because he thinks his form is still there. He also has experience and can help Real Madrid make some contribution in difficult games.
Once the goalkeeper performs sluggishly, the blow to the team is very serious. Some of the balls that could be saved couldn't be saved, and they couldn't make decent saves. That would really chill the rest of the players.
So, this location. You have to be strengthened, and it's not a substitute to be found, but a player who can play as the main player.
At left-back, Marcelo and Nacho are still rotated, but Nacho's performance is not satisfactory, so it's okay to be a substitute, but it's not good to really pick the big beam, you have to find a player with the same strength as Marcelo, or even stronger, to replace.
At centre-back, next season, if nothing else, it should be David. Luiz and Raphael Varane are the main team, and Ramos is more of a rotation, but even so, after Pepe's departure, there are too few players in the central defender position, and if you have to face a third-line battle, it will be really troublesome not to add a qualified central defender.
At right-back, Arbeloa's departure has also stretched Real Madrid, although Nacho can make a cameo in this position, but after all, it is not a long-term plan, a team that pursues the championship cannot be compromised, so in this position, there must be suitable players to make up for it.
In midfield, Xavi. Alonso's retirement and Di Maria's departure have left the team with a serious injury.
Especially Di Maria, who has become the main force, announced his departure, which really made Zidane a little big, but it's okay, after all, there are still Hesey, Isco and Reus who can play this position, and Lin Yu can also play.
In the midfield position, you have to make up for a player, just Khedira a substitute is not enough, this position is very physical consumption of players, Gundogan and Modric once there is an injury or physical exhaustion, then only Khedira can play, that is not good, it is really too worrying.
Zidane means looking for a midfielder with offensive ability, and the body must also be strong, in this way, not only can strengthen the team's defense, but also can further enhance Real Madrid's attacking power, in fact, he has already had a candidate in mind, but the price, it may be a little expensive, but for Real Madrid, this is not a problem, won the league championship and the Champions League, bonus income plus broadcast fees, plus the income from the sale of Di Maria and Arbeloa, it is really not bad money.
There is no doubt that Raul will have a very busy summer because he not only has to negotiate with each player according to the list set by Zidane, but also has to find and dig out some young players to supplement the substitute lineup.
Injuries, stamina, suspensions, all of these effects make the bench very important.
Someone once said that when the team is faced with multi-front battles, it is no longer about strength, but about the bench, and it is the thickness of the bench.
Zidane and Raul agree on that, so this summer he has to do these things in order to be able to do better next season.
……
Summer, both in the East and in the West, has entered the hot season.
But Raul couldn't rest, he sent all the people in charge of transfer affairs of the club out to find suitable replacements, and he went to visit the players needed by the team one by one according to the list given by Zidane.
And his first stop was France.
His target is French midfielder Paul Pogba, who currently plays for Juventus!
Pogba was in the spotlight in 2009 when United poached from the Le Havre academy, with predictions that he would be one of the best players of the future.
After Lin Yu, he successfully won the Golden Boy Award, which is enough to show his strength.
Pogba has a very bold personality, he dared to say no to Ferguson, after being blocked by Ferguson, he transferred to Juventus, but he showed terrifying strength, every time he performed, it was tantamount to slapping Ferguson.
He once said that he would tell Ferguson that although you are a famous handsome, there are times when you do something wrong!
For such a player, Zidane prefers it, because he feels that Pogba's personality is definitely compatible with Lin Yu. (To be continued......)
