500 Bianchi
"Carlos, long time no see."
Bianchi has been living a reclusive life since he left Boca Juniors. This time he is trying to prove his strength and show that he can succeed not only in South America, but also in Europe. That's why he agreed to Atletico's invitation. In particular, the defeat in Rome made him remember it and consider it the most shameful thing for him.
Bianchi is a successful manager who chooses a club very carefully. Despite his great success in South America, the European giants are cautious. Real Madrid chose Luxemberg, if there was no guarantee from an agent like Figel, and Real Madrid's results were too poor, Florentino would never take the risk.
Therefore, Bianchi can choose from some of the best European teams. The Premier League and South America have always been at odds, and Bianchi has not thought about coaching a Premier League team. The Italian powerhouses are now basically wiped out, and there are few powerhouses that can make Bianchi look good. All that's left is La Liga. In the current La Liga, Atletico are the best fit for him.
The first point is that Atletico are not short of money. Atletico Madrid's investment in the transfer market in recent years is second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona. The second is that Atletico Madrid has no shortage of good players.
The current backline of Atletico Madrid is a combination of Pablo and Perea. Pablo is tall and has excellent defensive ability on high balls. And Pablo, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, is not slow to turn at all. As for Perea, he is known as the fastest defender. The duo was the most compatible, best centre-back duo in La Liga last season. Not only that, Perea, who was once Bianchi's proud disciple.
In addition to Antonio at their left-back. Lopes is one of the best left-backs in Spanish football in recent years. As a player in Atletico Madrid's academy, Antonio. Lรณpez is a real powerhouse. Although the fame is not very large. But being able to defend, assist, and take free-kicks is the best part of Atletico's backline.
Besides, Lucin and Gabi in the midfielder are both known as the new Makelele, although there are some elements of boasting, but they are also powerful midfielders. Atletico also have a player like Ibargasa up front. Of course, Torres is currently Spain's hottest striker.
Rich and powerful, it is precisely because of this that Bianchi will choose Atletico Madrid. And Atletico Madrid's salary is also very high, giving Bianchi a salary of two million euros after tax. That's a very high salary for a current Spanish manager.
"Lister, long time no see."
The relationship between the two people is limited, but the relationship between them is okay. Rist looked at the high-spirited Bianchi and introduced: "Carlos, he is Gines. Carvajal, Raul's agent. โ
"Mr. Carvajal. Hello. โ
"Coach Bianchi. Hello. โ
Directly talking about Carvajal's name, Bianchi, who has just arrived in Spanish football, may not know him. But when it comes to Carvajal's Raul's agent, Bianchi immediately understood. Even if Bianchi is not in Spanish football, he knows Raul's place in Spanish football. Since it is Raul's agent. Bianchi understands that Carvajal must be a top agent in Spanish football.
"Carlos, Gines. You don't need to be so polite. In the future, we will all work together. โ
Although Raul is the flag of Real Madrid. Carvajal was here, but Bianchi wasn't surprised. It's all too common in South American football. When Mascade was in the Argentine football scene, he was able to work with many rival clubs in Argentina. As long as you can make money. Agents don't care if they're a rival club or not. In Bianchi's opinion, Carvajal is such an agent in Spain.
Rist and Carvajal had already met with Little Hill before they went to Bianchi. This time, Hill Jr. is determined to revive Atletico's glory. Therefore, this time he invited Bianchi, the first coach of South America, and handed over the transfer power to Bianchi. That's why Rist came to Bianchi.
Bianchi also knows that these clubs have their own agents. In European football, these are not obvious, and in Argentine football, no one can get around the agent. So Bianchi didn't make a fuss.
"Carlos, I've heard you mean big purchases in the summer."
Rist and Carvajal had met Little Hill and had heard about Bianchi's plans. Bianchi plans to invest heavily in players this summer, which is of course in line with Bianchi's status as a famous coach.
"Yes, there are some lists."
"Can we hear it?"
Bianchi didn't get angry at all. He has long known that Atletico Madrid has a top agent operating the transfer, and there is Rister in it. Bianchi, who has made a name for himself in Argentine football, is almost commonplace for this kind of thing. Argentine agents are much more in charge than Rist. Sometimes those agents don't take your manager with them.
"Galetti, Maxi. Rodriguez. โ
Although Rist and Carvajal didn't show anything, they both knew it in their hearts. With Bianchi the Argentine coach in charge, the Argentine player will soon become the main player for Atletico.
Galetti, who currently plays for Zaragoza, is a central player in Zaragoza's front line. He has a strong ability to break through with the ball, and he is very light as an Argentine player. Compared to Galetti, Maxi. Rodriguez is even more famous. At the moment, he plays for Espanyol and his goalscoring ability is very good. As a midfielder, he scored fifteen La Liga goals for Espanyol last season. Maxi. Rodriguez is really a wide player, but he is the heart of Espanyol's front court.
But there is nothing to blame for this. Just like after Luxemberg came to Real Madrid, he began to introduce Brazilian players on a large scale. Arsene Wenger has brought in either French players or players who have played in Ligue 1 at Arsenal. Rafael Benitez has brought in either Spanish players or players who play in La Liga at Liverpool.
"What else?"
"The club was in contact with Petrov and Kezman before I came."
Rist and Carvajal looked at each other and soon burst into laughter. Atletico Madrid's transfer is good, and they are all powerful stars in European football at the moment. Petrov is a dagger at Wolfsburg, who had 25 goals linked to him last season. But these lists have nothing to do with Rist or Carvajal.
The two of them can rely on their relationship with Atletico Madrid to mix and share in the transfer. But this is not what Rist and Carvajal are pursuing, after all, both are top agents in European football. It's not uncommon to have that little bit of money. That little money is not even a hardship fee, and that little money Riester can even give a reward to his staff and let them drink tea. For Lister and Carvajal, what they can't tolerate is that Atletico's transfer has nothing to do with them at all.
So Rist said first: "Carlos, what do you think of Fernando?" โ
The name Fernando is universal, but Bianchi understands who Rist is talking about. He nodded and said, "Excellent." I admired him when I was in Argentina, you should know that. โ
"Do you think he can play La Liga?"
"Yes."
Rist is talking about Fernando. Gago. Gago is already nineteen years old and has become a main midfielder at Boca. Either this season or the next season, he should go to Europe. Rist has been thinking about the club Gago's best fit.
At present, the most suitable game for Gago is La Liga or the Eredivisie, both of which are suitable for young Gago to play. However, Gago's current fame is too great, and many people in Argentina have called him "Redondo's successor", and many giants have been eyeing him. Although Rist thinks that Gago's best fit is to go to the Eredivisie for two years and then come to La Liga. But Rist could not fail to take into account the Argentine media, and could not fail to take into account the ideas of Gago himself. The Eredivisie is no longer enough for the stage of Gago.
But which club to join in La Liga is also a headache for Rist. Gago doesn't look young, but as a rare talented midfielder in Argentina, his value is not cheap at all. The average La Liga club is not worthy of Gago, and they can't afford to pay Gago's transfer fee. Therefore, Lister also has a headache.
This time I heard that Bianchi became the manager of Atletico Madrid, and Rister thought about it. Although Gago did not play a few games under Bianchi, he was young at the time. But it was Bianchi who promoted Gago from the Academy to the first team and then gave him a chance to play. Bianchi was very fond of Gago.
"Coach Bianchi, Raul of Osasuna. Garcia is an all-round player in the midfield. โ
Raul. Garcia is a very young player, only 19 years old this year. He is a talented player in the Osasuna Academy and a player in Carvajal. Carvajal originally didn't want Raul. Garcia came to Atletico because Atletico is a strong team after all, not a temple for young players. However, like Lister, Carvajal is still very optimistic about Bianchi.
During his time in charge of Argentina, Bianchi discovered countless talented players. I don't know how many young players have made a name for themselves in Bianchi. Let's talk about the players who have shone in his hands recently, from Riquelme to Palermo and Tevez. It was precisely because of this experience that Carvajal was willing to take Raul. Garcia was sent to Bianchi's men.
"Raul. Garcia? โ
Bianchi was a stranger to him. After all, he had just arrived in Spain and was not very familiar with the talented players in Spain. Raul. Garcia is not one of Torres, who just played in La Liga last season.
"Leave him information, and I'll study it."
Bianchi sighed, he understood what Rist and Carvajal meant. This kind of thing is very common in South America, so Bianchi simply took over the opinions of the two men.
"Carlos, it's not me saying anything. A player with characteristics like Petrov is not suitable to play in Spain. If possible, you might as well look for other candidates. โ
"I'll think about it." (To be continued......)
