Chapter 18 Tender Teeth and Disability
Cahill is now at the lowest point of his career.
As an Australian player, to be able to enter the English arena and become a regular in the English team Millwall, Cahill has put in a lot of effort, in fact, as early as 1997, Cahill came to England, when Millwall saw him and thought he had great potential, Cahill asked his parents to allow him to play professional football in England and sign with Millwall.
In the 2oo-2oo1 season, Cahill's position in Millwall has been basically stable, becoming the main backbone of the team, and the experience of going to a foreign country at the age of 18 also made Cahill very precocious. Most professional players, who have been around football since they were young, are still a little immature in their 20s, but Cahill is not like that, he has his own opinions and opinions.
Last season, Gary Cahill was injured.
A season of stumbling injuries bleaked his professional future, and he only made 11 appearances for Millwall in a whole season, and by the second half of the season he was basically out of action, and he was recovering from injuries, at Millwall, in Australia.
Although he was not fully recoverable, Cahill returned to England when Millwall regrouped for training.
When he was in Australia, his agent told him that there were clubs interested in him, Cahill was surprised, if he didn't have injuries, there was nothing strange if there were clubs that wanted to buy him, but if he stumbled and injured for a season, would any club be interested in him?
But soon the agent said that the opposing coach had to meet him before he could decide.
Cahill didn't think about leaving Millwall before, but a season's injury has made his position unstable, so when the agent informed him that the Derby County manager came to Millwall, Cahill still agreed to take a look. He wondered who was interested in him.
So Wan Sheng met Cahill like this.
This was in a café, Cahill was not too high-profile player, Wan Sheng also came to Millwall secretly, and the media reporters also thought that he was arranging training in Derby, and did not know that he had left Derby, so the meeting between the two was not disturbed.
Cahill was surprised to see Wan Sheng.
Like everyone else, he was surprised by Wan Sheng's age, and this is really a Chinese? Do Chinese play football? Cahill doesn't know very well, but he knows that the football of that country is certainly not as good as Australia, and it seems that they played in the 2oo2 World Cup. Then very wolf bèi was eliminated from the group.
Being able to enter the top 32 of the World Cup is a bit of strength, right?
Cahill didn't think much about it, he just looked at Wan Sheng, and the two didn't speak for a while.
Wan Sheng is looking at Cahill's potential, and as he estimated, Cahill's potential value is neither high nor low, 86 points, which is a very common value compared to the potential of a top league player at the age of 24. Even so, he was satisfied, for Cahill was no longer in good health—at least he could meet him alone, and he looked like a normal person.
This shows that Cahill is almost healed even if he is injured.
Neither of them had spoken, but Wan Sheng had already decided that he wanted to fight for Cahill. It's rare to find such a player who will shine in the future World Cup and who has been a solid player at the club level, but Cahill lived up to his expectations.
Cahill was the first to speak, and he spoke in admiration. "You're surprisingly young."
"Thank you." Wan Sheng laughed.
"Can you tell us why you're interested in me?" Cahill asked, "My injury has been going on all season and even I can't guarantee a recovery. ”
Wan Sheng smiled even happier. He is now Cahill is a very assertive person, he has not yet spoken, Cahill has opened his mouth to take the initiative, such a person will be very firm, have his own judgment, this mentality will be of great help to the table on the field, no wonder Cahill can succeed.
Cahill kept looking at Wan Sheng, waiting for Wan Sheng's answer.
Wan Sheng thought for a moment before he spoke, "That's not a problem. Since I'm here, I believe you can get back to shape, or even go further......" After speaking, he suddenly changed the subject, "I came to Millwall to bring in a main striker for the team. ”
Cahill wondered, "Can you promise a main position?" ”
Wan Sheng said, "If other people ask me, I will definitely say 'my team does not have an absolute main force', but any team, there is a difference between the main force and the substitute, maybe this is too strict, but at least there is an important and unimportant difference, I am here to bring in a very important striker for the team." ”
Wan Sheng stood up and gave a detailed introduction to the team's forwards, "My team only has two real forwards, one is a young high school forward, and the other is a veteran in his thirties, Ian Taylor, you should have heard of ......"
Cahill nodded, Aston Villa's legendary star is also quite famous in England.
'Both of them are going to be very important players, but Taylor is old after all, and Reiter is too young, he has only played a limited number of games, he is inexperienced, and he is also a tactical high striker, so I need a striker who can score goals steadily. Wan Sheng finished looking at Cahill.
He knows very well that if he wants to impress such an assertive player, he must use the actual situation to illustrate that any trust and belief is meaningless, because every coach will say this to new players, but if the new players are not in good shape, they will still not have a chance to play, and they will still be reduced to the fringes of the team.
Cahill was intrigued.
In fact, he didn't think about moving away before, he has been at Millwall for several years, and in his mind, even if he wants to leave for another team, it must be a team at the English level, which is equivalent to an improvement in his career, what does it mean to go from a League One team to a League One team?
Cahill agreed to meet Wan Sheng, the first is to wonder why Derby County would be interested in him, and the second is also interested in this 'legendary' young Chinese coach in League One, at the end of last season, he was still recuperating, but the English League One is in a uproar, many media have reported on the young Chinese coach, Cahill is in England, naturally also heard some news. So when he heard that it was the young Chinese coach who wanted to see him, he immediately agreed.
But now Cahill thinks differently.
Which team he plays for, whether he transfers or not depends on the situation, he hopes that his career will improve, naturally the team he joins is better, but if the same team can have a better environment, it can be regarded as improving, in Millwall, he is a jack-of-all-trades player, although he is good at playing as a striker. But many times the manager will let him play in the midfield or even on the wing, and sometimes he will be used as the first substitute, not to mention, now that his injury has just ended, it is difficult to regain the main position in the short term.
But if Derby's forward line is really like what the young coach described, everything he says is true, he will be much better at Derby, and the only player in the same position as himself is the veteran Ian Taylor. The other high school striker is not the same type of player as him, and he is still a young player, so it is natural that he will have a lot of opportunities to play.
This is still in the case of his appearance.
If he can have a good appearance, he will naturally be able to easily win the position of the main striker. On the competition. He doesn't need a position from the manager, he knows the cruelty of the professional game, he has to fight for everything, and it is very important to have a better competitive environment. In addition, looking at the meaning of this Chinese coach, it seems that he is very optimistic about himself. It would also be a good choice to go to a team that has a coach who is optimistic about itself and a better competitive environment.
"You convinced me." Cahill thought about it for a moment, then made it clear, "I can't think of a reason to refuse." ”
Wan Sheng smiled.
The next step is to negotiate between Derby County and Millwall.
Millwall was originally very interested in selling Cahill, all they cared about was the transfer fee, Cahill is not a talented star, and he is 24 years old, the value of this kind of player is on the surface, plus he has just returned from injury, the value will naturally be discounted.
In the end, the two clubs agreed in a day, with Cahill joining Derby County FC for £750,000 and will play for Derby County for the next season.
……
Wansheng is still very satisfied with the fact that Cahill's transfer is almost finalised, which means that Cahill can still catch up with the team's physical training.
After Cahill officially joined Derby County and came to report on the team, the Derby County club held a signing ceremony for him, and there were many reporters who came to attend this time, even if the mainstream Derby County media knew that Wansheng would not give them a chance to ask questions, but they still came to attend the signing ceremony, because Cahill still has a certain reputation in League One.
If you don't take into account his injury last season, it's a good transfer.
But given his injuries, it's different.
So the mainstream media of Derby County said that they thought that Derby's transfer work in the summer was very 'peculiar', not to mention selling many of the team's players who were in their playing years, and buying a bunch of '** and disabled', which they used to describe several players who came to the club.
Leto Ziegler, Leiden Bynes, naturally relegated to the ranks of '**'.
Cahill naturally belongs to the disabled people.
As for Franck Ribery, a French player that the Ales club doesn't value, they just ignored it, Leon Osman is good, but the loan player, there is nothing special to say.
Anyway, the mainstream Derbyshire media has something to say, and they have a lot of truth in what they say.
Even the fans who support Derby County FC and Wansheng can't refute this statement, Cahill did have been injured all the time last season, Leto Ziegler and Leiden Baines are indeed too young, if Frank Ribery has the quality, why did the Ales club sell him?
The mainstream Derby County media summed up several transfers by saying that "the team is a lot weaker than last season......" (To be continued!).
