Chapter Seventy-Two: I'm going to do something big

The winter transfer season is just a month away, and the devilish Christmas schedule is just around the corner of the game. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Arsenal team looks strong at the moment, but the tough test is coming, and as a manager, he has to prepare for the worst.

However, it is rare to catch big fish in the winter window transfer, tinkering with individual positions, and then making a small fuss into some little demons, even if there is an explanation. Especially with the current excellent record of the Arsenal team, from the media to the fans, they all feel that the team can continue to play steadily, and there is no need for any major surgery in the winter window.

It's a pity that these ideas are just empty buildings built on good intentions.

The goalkeeper position is in urgent need of a change, and as soon as Anelka leaves in the center forward position, even if Jumo can shoulder the heavy responsibility, he needs a suitable substitute to share the pressure. These are the things that are in front of us, but other possible pitfalls include the age of the backline, the lack of defensive ability of the two centre-backs in the high post, and the lack of depth in the squad relative to the density of the game.

With so many questions on his shoulders at the same time, Wenger was inevitably a little impatient, so as soon as Yu Mo's inferior agitation method was used, the French were immediately fooled.

The words he said were like water spilled out, and even if the "100, 200, 300" that his old man blurted out was not heard by others, Yu Mo was found by him with great difficulty, and he would not be untrustworthy in front of this goods without any psychological burden.

In fact, even if there is no need for agitation, if You Mo can come forward to persuade Lehmann to join Arsenal in the winter window, it will not be much of a problem to agree to another transfer as an add-on. But he knew very well where the professor's economic theory came from, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the two of them because of this incident.

After all, this is a person with a big plan, and if the other party feels that someone is pointing fingers at the beginning, the prospect of cooperation will undoubtedly be overshadowed.

Without further ado, Yumo called Ljungberg that night.

The Swedes have been following this goods for some time, and they are surprised by this efficiency. But I didn't have to get to the bottom of it, and I hung up the phone and contacted the manager of Malmo FC directly.

In fact, strictly speaking, Ibrahimovic's current age is still too young, and a few more years of training will definitely sell for a higher price. However, the influence of the Swedish league is too small, even if the parties can be forced to stay for a few more years, the results achieved are not very convincing.

Norton Mendes ended up making an offer that was expected.

5.5 million pounds.

There is certainly a water in this kind of bidding in business negotiations. Even Norton Mendes himself admits that the guy who is only 17 years old and has not played in the Swedish league is not worth the price at the moment.

However, Ljungberg still knew what his identity was, and he didn't bargain immediately after listening to the offer, and after expressing some amazement, he politely hung up the phone and called You Mo again.

As a result, the line has been busy.

The Swedes were not in a hurry, seeing that the time was not already ready to wash and sleep, but the guy who had been immersed in his homework spoke up.

"You're also involved in player transfers, it's not easy. Frederick! ”

Verlarion's words startled Ljungberg.

Indeed, the transfer of players is the responsibility of the club manager and the manager, and the player's right to advise is limited. A first-year freshman like him, who has no qualifications, can not be rejected by the old man, and it is fortunate to sit firmly in the main position, but participating in the transfer of players is really beyond the scope of cognition.

But things are done, and the Swedes are neither secretive nor feel good about themselves.

"yes. I also find it a little incredible. ”

"Oh, so it seems. You don't have the same place in the team as you used to? Verlarian looked at him with her hands on her cheeks, smiling rather than smiling.

"Well, the dressing room is a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. If it weren't for MO, I probably wouldn't have been able to play like that so quickly, and I wouldn't have fully realised what it means to have a dressing room at a top club. Ljungberg nodded slightly, his expression serious.

"Oh? How is it different from your previous teams? Verlarian asked with a smile.

"Halmstad FC is an established powerhouse in Sweden as well. But everyone in the locker room understands that the stage in front of them is too small, and if you have the ability, you still have to go outside. If you have the same idea, you can work in one place, and there are few times when you can't get used to each other. And the small club doesn't have much money. No matter how good the performance is, the conflict of interests will not cause a fierce conflict. Ljungberg remembered for a moment and said slowly.

"What about this team?"

"Arsenal are a top club that are making their way in the direction of the big clubs, some insist that the end of the road is bright, others don't have the patience to wait. Now that player transfers are no longer subject to the same constraints as before, salaries, results, expectations, these have become the motivation for transfers, and it is difficult to guarantee that it is not a decision made on the spur of the moment. ”

"It looks like you weren't fooled by the comments after the last game."

"Maybe before, but not anymore."

"Why?"

"I'm still far from it."

......

After Yumo hung up the phone, he got in touch with Lyman.

Although the two are not familiar with each other, they have a good impression of each other, and the similarity in personality can easily close the distance.

AC Milan did take a keen interest in him, and the annual salary offered reached 800,000 pounds before tax, which is a high salary for a goalkeeper. On top of that, the quality of the Serie A giants is undeniable, and the quality of the defensive line is the best in the world, and it is a great honor for any goalkeeper to work with these world-class defenders.

Arsenal's offer is largely the same as that of AC Milan, and it is said that the concession on the transfer fee may be larger, but for the player, the difference between £4 million and £5 million is really not felt.

Knowing this, You Mo did not immediately start the persuasion work, and as soon as the voice changed, he asked about the attitude of Stevens, the head coach of the Schalke 04 team.

The results were somewhat unexpected.

The Dutch coach is not very optimistic about his disciple's trip to the Serie A giants!

The reason is simple.

The span between Schalke 04 and AC Milan is too great, and the style of Serie A is far from that of the Bundesliga. If Lehmann starts as a substitute goalkeeper after the transfer and looks for opportunities to gradually sit in the main team, then the above problems have a good buffer and will not become a huge threshold.

It's a pity that Lehmann is 29 years old, and he wants to show his talent in a wider world. The possible bench position of the substitute goalkeeper is difficult for him to accept. But to occupy the main position as soon as you come, not to mention the atmosphere in the locker room, the pressure from the fans and the media is also extraordinary.

Stevens knew his disciple very well and knew the trouble that could come with his big mouth and outrageous behavior. Serie A is now the number one league in the world, and the exposure of the players is quite impressive, judging by Lehmann's words and deeds in Germany. As long as the transfer is successful and he becomes the main goalkeeper, he is definitely the darling of unscrupulous media.

Of course, these opinions were given by bystanders, and Lyman himself recognized them to a limited extent. Judging from the character of the Germans who are not afraid of heaven and earth, the possibility of biasing towards Tiger Mountain is not low.

Arsenal also have a certain attraction for Lehmann.

After all, the Premier League is now on an upward trajectory, with major clubs in an arms race and player salaries at new heights. The prospect of being able to devote yourself to this atmosphere at the prime stage of your career looks good.

The terms offered by both clubs were good, and the sincerity shown was equally satisfying to Lehmann and Schalke 04. Therefore, the decision to transfer is now a word of the parties.

The Germans are not unassertive, but sometimes the fish and the bear's paw look good, and it is inevitable that there is some hesitation before putting down the chopsticks.

In fact, if You Mo didn't call, Lyman would have called soon, but the Germans didn't reveal this to the other party, but they only slightly increased the weight of the party in their hearts.

Now that the other party took the initiative to call, he naturally wanted to hear what this daring guy was going to use to convince himself.

It's a pity that Stevens was finished. It's Karn again.

It's okay not to mention it, but when he mentions it, he gets angry.

He and Karn a 29. One 31, one Schalke 04, one Bayern Munihe, one is free and easy, the other is arrogant and domineering, no matter which angle the two compare. The German team's main goalkeeper position is not his share.

The most difficult substitute position in the football world is the goalkeeper substitute, especially when you are in the world's top team, and you can see your competitors sitting on the bench with infinite scenery.

I'm not convinced!

There is no way to accept it, the goalkeeper position is the top priority of the team. Unless there is a significant dip in form or injury, it is difficult for the substitute goalkeeper to get a chance to play. If it's a club, it's okay, a cup, a league, and a team of this nature in the national team, the backup goalkeeper is as nominal as the vice president.

This is actually the main reason why Lehmann made up his mind to leave Schalke 04 and leave his mentor Stevens.

No one wants to live in the shadow of another guy for their entire athletic career, not even the average player, let alone the top player!

When it comes to Kahn, it is natural to talk about the current main goalkeepers of AC Milan and Arsenal.

Needless to say, the Arsenal team is in the middle of nowhere, and the main position is certain.

AC Milan is in a very different situation.

Their current main goalkeeper is 34-year-old veteran international Sebastiano Rossi, who once set a Serie A record of 929 minutes without conceding a goal in the 93-94 season. On top of that, they brought in a 21-year-old Cristian Abbiati as a spare tire in July this year.

Although the age span of this old and young combination is large, they are all in good shape, and one league and one cup can ensure that the team's defense is solid.

If Lehmann successfully moves to the Serie A giants, the direct competition he faces will undoubtedly be all-round.

"You may think it's a bit boring to become the main force without competition, right?"

Youmo's question made the Germans pause for a moment, and then relieved.

This guy really knows himself!

"Actually, I think so too."

Yumo's answer made the Germans flurry again.

Which side of the hell are you?

"Don't doubt that I'm an undercover agent from AC Milan, I was a supporter of Inter Milan when I was a kid watching Milan derbys."

Hearing this, Lyman couldn't stop laughing.

Dude, shall we get down to business?

"However, competition must be based on fairness and justice, and only by virtue of strength and luck can you have the last laugh."

The Germans were silent.

In fact, the competition for the goalkeeper position is the most difficult to achieve fairness and justice, and when the difference in strength between the two sides is not large, the head coach's preference should account for a large part, and the dressing room should also occupy a large share. Compared with the unrivalled popularity of the old Italian Monrosesi, he is a first-year Serie A freshman who really lacks enough qualifications.

The German is already in the mature stage of his career, and the upside potential is not great, if any. His own family knows his own affairs, and if he doesn't have a luck bonus, it is unimaginable that he will be able to sit in the main position in one fell swoop.

'AC Milan have bought a 21-year-old goalkeeper this summer and now it looks like he's played in the domestic cup competitions, right?'

This question made Lehmann aware of the crisis.

The goalkeeper of a top club is equipped with three people as standard, and when the goalkeeper has not declined significantly, most of them buy some demons to level up. Now that the little demon is in place, if he joins again in the winter window, the original two substitute goalkeepers will definitely usher in the end of rolling up and leaving.

After all, the goalkeeper position is not as reliable as the veteran, and even if the 29-year-old can't play the main team, he can basically guarantee the team's game tasks.

One person in the same position, two people go, this situation has definitely the impact on the dressing room. It can be seen that once he nods yes, AC Milan will not greet him in a very friendly atmosphere.

'The big guy on our side is in a dip, the second guy can't please the manager, the third guy is too young to play for the first team. Now that the team is at the height of the schedule, there are plenty of opportunities waiting for you. Of course, the competition you crave is definitely there, and if nothing else, England will definitely not accept the old and England fans will not be too cold to a guy from Germany. ”

As soon as he said this, Lyman was a little moved.

Only after experiencing the bitter experience of being a substitute goalkeeper will you have an unforgettable feeling about being born at an inopportune time. Serie A has a winter break of more than a month, while the Premier League has none. With such a comparison, it is already clear which is worse and which is inferior.

In addition, Yumo's words made him understand that the competition he aspires to is actually not much on the field, and he will definitely be compared to David Seaman by fans and media off the field, and it must be compared to the level of England internationals at his peak.

In this way, all that needs to be competed is the past glory of the opponent, so what is he afraid of standing in front of the goal?

"Well, I don't have anyone else in the team to talk to me except for the manager who speaks German, so it's boring."

As soon as the words came into his ears, Lyman was already patting his thigh.

Language barrier is a big problem that cannot be ignored, especially when you can occupy the main position when you come up, there is no interpreter on the field, and it is difficult to communicate with the head coach off the field, which will become a huge obstacle to integrating into the team.

Now that both are in place, what else does he have to worry about?

"I'm waiting at Arsenal, I'm going to do a big thing, a big thing that will overshadow your Kaiserslautern miracle!" (To be continued.) )
