Chapter Seventy-Nine: J-Ronaldo and Hazard

After the Copa del Rey quarter-final win over Real Madrid in the first leg, Atletico Madrid didn't even have a day off as they faced the league again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is the 19th round of the league.

Atletico Madrid's opponent is Mallorca, and this is the first time the two teams have met this season.

Last season, Mallorca worked wonders.

They were the biggest surprise of last season in La Liga, a team that had invested almost little in the transfer market and finished fifth in the table after 38 rounds, which is truly incredible.

Under the construction of veteran coach Manzano, Mallorca's offensive system is quite sharp, and the team's team is dazzling in its fast-break coordination.

With a miraculous fifth-place finish, Mallorca qualified for the UEFA Europa League (Europa League, also known as the restructured UEFA Cup) for the new season.

However, things took a turn for the worse after that, and it was simply an epic tragic drama.

Due to the severe economic crisis, Mallorca was deprived of qualification for the new season of the Europa League by UEFA, and also lost the meritorious veteran coach Manzano and a large number of key players.

This is a bolt from the blue for a team that has just created a miracle!

Many Spanish clubs have similar problems, poor business conditions, allowing them to occasionally play well and not be able to improve the club's operations, so Mallorca can only be one of the protagonists of the relegation battle this season.

Last summer, Mallorca had no money left to stir up in the transfer market due to a severe financial crisis, and apart from recouping a couple of players on loan and promoting new players to the B team, Mallorca's only signing was a free transfer to former Feyenoord midfielder De Guzman.

In Mallorca's main squad last season, Julio Alvarez, Josemi, Aduris and Mario Suarez have all left the team, and the strength of the team has been greatly affected.

So this season's Mallorca results can be imagined.

Mallorca have won just five of their 18 games so far, sitting 19th in La Liga, and are completely mired in relegation, while most of the media believe that Mallorca have little hope of struggling out.

They are already in chaos internally, and they don't even have the fighting spirit to fight when the game starts.

Such a team is very sympathetic, and Wan Sheng is the same, but it is a pity that he will not show mercy to his opponents because he sympathizes with them, but 'respects' the opponents by letting the team play well.

Before the game, Wan Sheng also reminded the players that they must do their best in the game, "No matter what opponent we meet, we must do this!" That's respect for our opponents, but also for ourselves! ”

In the end, 90 minutes were over, and Atletico Madrid won 4-0 at home to Mallorca.

This is also the result of Wansheng's use of rotation.

The last game against Real Madrid consumed a lot of energy from the team, and only goalkeepers De Gea, Isco, Felipe, Luis Perea and Ozil started the last game, and the other main players were only on the bench, such as Morris and Aguero were sent out of the squad.

In fact, Wansheng is also a last resort.

What worries Wansheng the most is Morris, Morris has always been in good shape, but he is 33 years old after all, players at this age are going downhill, even with the help of the football training master system, Morris's body cannot be compared with three years ago, he imagines that he is in Manchester City, starting every game, playing the whole game every time, it is almost impossible to do.

Wan Sheng can be sure that by next season, Morris's appearance will be greatly affected by his body.

So when it comes to the big game, who can replace Morris?

Before Manchester City, Morris was injured and David Silva, there is no doubt that David Silva is the best candidate to replace Morris, but Atletico Madrid does not have David Silva, and Manchester City cannot sell their core players.

It can be said that in the entire team of Atletico Madrid, no one can completely replace Morris.

This is the biggest headache for Wansheng at the moment.

Maybe others will think that when Morris is about to retire, it would be good to buy another world-class star?

Impossible!

Morris is not something that anyone can replace, the organization of the midfield is a scarce commodity in world football, not to mention a strong star, in addition, such as Ozil, it is difficult to replace Morris, because his style is not suitable, he will be an excellent attacking midfielder, but let him be the core of the midfield, it is better to let him play better as a striker.

Wan Sheng also thought about buying a strong organizational midfielder, a player who can replace Morris, and it is worth buying more than 50 million euros, but there is a problem - those famous stars, the style has long been fixed, such as Riquelme, his strength and skills are there, but he can't be integrated into Atletico Madrid's tactical system at all.

So I want to buy a player who can replace Morris...... It's so hard!

Wansheng most wants to get a young midfielder with no fixed style and very organizational ability, even if his personal ability is poor, he can also improve through the football training master system, that is, Wansheng hopes to be able to develop another Morris.

Or rather...... Cultivate a Messi with your own hands!

It's a crazy idea!

Morris's fame process is difficult to repeat, Wansheng believes that it is easier to cultivate a Messi, because Messi is a strong individual, he belongs to the kind of forward who is very good at attacking, and Morris is the big man who dominates the whole game.

The two have different styles, and there is no way to say who is more useful.

Wan Sheng is well aware that this job will definitely be the focus for next season, and after the match against Mallorca, he was studying the players and found that Atletico Madrid did not have the right people to develop.

So Wansheng began to look at Europe.

The summer transfer work does not start at the end of the season, in fact, for the top clubs, the transfer work is carried out all year round, they continue to dig for talent, keep looking for players who can complement the team, and the early contact will naturally get a better chance.

Wan Sheng also took a fancy to two players.

One is Eden Hazard, who currently plays for Ligue 1 Lille.

Eden Hazard is a 20-year-old Belgian talent who is now quite famous.

Eden Hazard quickly joined the senior squad from Lille's youth team in the summer of 2007 and made 10 substitute appearances for Lille in 2007/08, setting a record for the youngest player in Ligue 1 in 2007-08, after which he was voted one of the top 10 Ligue 1 players by French football, along with Xavi Hernandez Creus and Cuassi Gervinho.

At the end of the 2007-08 season, Hazard was targeted by big-name clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Lyon and Sevilla, but Lille authorities believed that Hazard would continue to grow and rejected all transfer intentions.

Hazard has since gone from strength to strength and fame, notably scoring seven penalties in Ligue 1 in 2008/09, the most of any player in Europe's top league.

Eden Hazard has been playing for Lille.

Lille has been on the rise this season, beating other Ligue 1 powerhouses and sitting at the top of Ligue 1, and he is very hopeful of winning the Ligue 1 title with the team.

Another player that Wan Sheng has his eye on is the famous star of his previous life, James Rodriguez, also known as the legendary 'J Ronaldo'.

'J-Ronaldo' can create such a big reputation in China, which undoubtedly has a lot to do with his outstanding performance in the future, and his value skyrockets, so his strength is actually undoubted, even from an investment point of view, 'J-Ronaldo' is also a good target for recruitment.

'J-Ronaldo' has just landed in the Europa League and plays for Porto in the Portuguese Super League.

Wan Sheng also likes 'J-Ronaldo' because of his style, as an attacking striker, he can play multiple positions such as winger and striker, so at least he has the all-round ability of the frontcourt.

He could be a good candidate to replace Morris.

After thinking about it, Wan Sheng planned to have the club's scouts look at the two players in Portugal and France, and if they could, make some preliminary contacts.

But in the end, Wan Sheng dismissed the idea, and instead found Fan Zhiyi and explained his thoughts.

"You're saying let me scout these two players?"

"That's right. I need you to go watch them play and gather some information. Eden Hazard needs to focus on Porto's 'J-Ronaldo', you can try to contact him directly and see what he thinks about coming to the Spanish league. ”

Fan Zhiyi understood.

The meaning of Wan Sheng is obvious, 'J-Ronaldo' is the goal of Atletico Madrid Club in the summer, there is no need to seriously investigate at all, just contact directly to see if the other party intends to transfer to Atletico Madrid, and send a friendly signal to the other party.

Hazard needs to be examined.

This is an uncertain player, gathering information, evaluating players, and making some pre-transfer preparations, etc., Fan Zhiyi needs to shoulder the work of scouting and personnel in the club's transfer department.

Fan Zhiyi will also contact Eden Hazard as an assistant coach at Atletico Madrid.

It's up to him to decide.

The work task sounds very simple, but judging from Wansheng's attitude, Fan Zhiyi knows that he is shouldering a heavy responsibility, and while shouldering a heavy responsibility, it also represents Wansheng's trust in him, so Fan Zhiyi said seriously, "Don't worry, Wansheng, I will bring good news." ”

Wan Sheng is still very relieved of Fan Zhiyi.

A Chinese in Europe, always very inconspicuous, Europeans look at Chinese, just like Chinese look at Europeans, it is always difficult to distinguish clearly, he does not have to worry about Fan Zhiyi exposing the itinerary.

Wansheng believes that Fan Zhiyi can bring him good news.
