Chapter 18: Reyes
Wan Sheng was satisfied with the warm-up match.
He is not satisfied with the result, it is normal to win the warm-up match with the weak team, and there is no point in playing 100-0, he is satisfied with the performance of the players on all fronts.
Wansheng doesn't like to divide players into main forces and substitutes, but a team is like this, some players are strong and play well, and the number of appearances will definitely be more, these players will be the main force in the actual sense, and some players are poorer, slow to adapt to tactics, and their performance is slightly worse, and their appearances will definitely be less, so they will become substitutes in the actual sense.
Wan Sheng's satisfaction lies in the fact that the team has players who have performed very well on all three fronts.
First of all, talking about the goalkeeper position, David De Gea is definitely a surprise, this 20-year-old youngster, is from the youth system of Atletico Madrid Football Club, joined the football school of Atletico Madrid at the age of 10, became a professional player at the age of 18, began to represent Atletico Madrid B team in the second division, and began to represent the first team of Atletico Madrid at the age of 19, in other words, De Gea only entered the first team of Atletico Madrid last year and represented the first team in the competition.
There are no players who can be a regular when they are promoted to the first team.
Especially in the goalkeeper position, many powerful players have to stay up until they are twenty-five or six years old to have a chance to become the goalkeeper of the top league team, De Gea is only 20 years old, he was born in November 1990, and he is not even 20 years old, but he has already shown the ability of a top goalkeeper.
Wan Sheng naturally listened to De Gea.
In fact, anyone who follows European football will know these talented Spanish goalkeepers, as he will become the successor to Manchester United's main goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
Manchester United's future national goal, the strength is certainly undoubted, but De Gea is not yet 20 years old, Wan Sheng still wants to cultivate at the beginning, let him stay on the bench for a while, and then have the opportunity to 'right' again, just like in Manchester City to cultivate Wang Xiaolei.
Maybe Atletico Madrid originally thought the same way, so they bought Roberto Gimenez for 800 euros.
The 24-year-old former Benfica goalkeeper came to Atletico Madrid to play the main team.
But unexpectedly, De Gea was able to perform so consistently and outstandingly, so Wansheng had a bit of a headache, so should De Gea play the main team, or let Roberto play?
After thinking about it, Wan Sheng still prefers De Gea in his heart, because De Gea will definitely be able to play in the future, as for Roberto...... This guy is really not famous, and I don't know why he is worth 8 million euros now.
There are also players in the back line who are doing well.
Among the veteran players of Atletico Madrid, Felipe Luiz played very consistently, playing 100 minutes in the two warm-up games, there was basically no mistake, it was time to attack, and the defense was also very stable, unfortunately, Ujfarusi and Domingos did not adapt well to the tactics, but the two new signings Filipe Kasmirski and Godin adapted to the tactics very well.
Wansheng's attention is still on the youngster Raphael Varane, the Frenchman is only 17 years old, but he has already shown his talent, and Varane is the best at the back, but his problem is bigger than anyone else, which is a serious lack of experience, and occasionally acting impulsive and frizzy.
This is a common problem with young players.
With Raphael Varane's performances, it is not much of a problem to be a young substitute this season.
The midfield is the most satisfying part of Wansheng, with the support of Morris and Ozil, several players in the midfield are very stable, and it is they who lead the whole team to attack and defend, so that the slightly chaotic game can be played and there can be a lot of goals.
Among them, Morris is the most outstanding.
In the past two years, Morris has also been the main force of Manchester City with his individual ability, and now coming to Atletico Madrid, Morris still has a strong performance, and his individual ability is definitely the best in the world.
Wansheng invested a lot of 'capital' in Morris.
The single player attribute improvement effect of the "National Event Honor Halo", Wan Sheng didn't consider it, and threw it directly on Morris, which made Morris's passing ability, coupled with the bonus of other coaches' skills and abilities, Morris reached a level of nearly '114' in passing.
This kind of evaluation value is absolutely terrifying.
In the two warm-up games, Morris played 140 minutes, made eight second passes, and had a pass completion rate of 94.9 percent, making him undoubtedly the best performer.
In fact, when Morris came to the team at the beginning, when Wansheng gave the vice-captain to Morris, there were still many players who were not convinced, especially those old players in the team.
Although Morris is famous, he is still a newcomer in Atletico Madrid, and in terms of fame, Klose is not comparable, during the World Cup, the world's media are reporting on Klose, and Klose is by no means worse than Morris.
But after two warm-up games, even Klose himself didn't want to think about anything.
Morris's performance was there.
With Morris in the presence, the strikers are even worried about scoring goals, because Morris always makes good passes.
Several forwards felt that Morris could not be offended by offending anyone on the team...... If the opponent targets him and doesn't pass the ball to him on the court, he will definitely be reduced to a substitute, because Morris is an absolute core player.
There's really not much to say about the front line.
Several players competing for the main team - Diego Forlan, Klose, Da Silva have scored, but Wang Qiuming played 15 minutes, and there was no special performance, maybe the playing time was too short, or maybe he was too young and inexperienced, Wan Sheng felt that Wang Qiuming still needed more experience.
In short, Wan Sheng was quite satisfied with the team's performance in the warm-up game.
However, there is a player in the team who is very special, he has good tactical adaptability, but he is always a little aggressive in the two warm-up games, if it is an average player, Wan Sheng's expectations for him are relatively good, I hope he can revitalize the team's wings.
That's what made a name for himself at a young age...... Reyes.
Reyes became famous very early, in the 2003 World Youth Championships in the United Arab Emirates, Reyes and Torres were the two biggest names, although Spain lost 0-1 to Brazil in the final, but at that time the name of "Spanish Gemini" overshadowed any player in the champion Brazil team, and it was logical to be selected for the national team.
In Portugal's Euro qualifiers, substitute Reyes scored twice in three minutes in the final stages of the game, giving confidence that his future was bright.
In the 03-04 season, Reyes's fame in La Liga was Sevilla's 4-1 thrashing of Real Madrid, where he assisted his teammates to score twice and played Figo with beautiful dribbles on the left side.
To paraphrase a TV buzzword: "Everyone on earth knows that it is difficult for this small temple in Seville to accommodate the "great bodhisattva" of Reyes." ”
As a result, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, known as the "genius obsession", took the lead, and in the winter of 2004, Arsenal spent 18 million euros to bown Spain's new generation of golden left foot.
Reyes had a bright future ahead of him, but suffered a setback after landing in the Premier League.
The League Cup was an own goal, which made Arsenal miss the final; Gary Neville's ferocious tackle against Manchester United left a psychological shadow on the Spanish genius who feared injury, and all opponents have used this trick against Reyes since then; Add to that the cold and rainy weather in London, which is very different from the perennially warm Seville, and the radio shenanigans that followed......
Many people think that Reyes is "incompatible" with Arsenal and even the Premier League, and when he is about to return to his homeland, the former genius is reinvigorated - beautiful passing, great spirituality, strong fighting spirit and desire to win, plus that golden left foot, he has become an important part of Arsenal's attacking midfield.
"Assists" are Reyes' sharpest weapons, and with his passing skills, vision and imagination outstanding, "he's going to be the second Bergkamp".
In 2007, Reyes was loaned to Real Madrid, where he was used by Capello in the second half of the season and, more importantly, helped Real Madrid win the league title that season.
At the end of the season, Real Madrid were eager to sign the player and there were high hopes for the deal, but sadly, Reyes chose to join Real Madrid's city rivals, Atletico Madrid.
It was a transfer that Hill Jr. single-handedly facilitated.
After joining Atletico Madrid, Reyes was loaned to Benfica the following year, but after returning to the club, he was still a solid performer, making the team's wide flanks lively and helping the team score a few goals, but the lack of defence was still a big problem.
As a wing-back, defending is a must.
Reyes has been very active on the left side and has always performed very well, but in Wansheng's view, Atletico Madrid's defense was very bad before, and Reyes is definitely one of the reasons, because he only cares about his own performance in the game, and he doesn't pay much attention to defense.
There is no shortage of attacking players, but the wide players must be consistent, so Wan Sheng decided to talk to Reyes.
――――
When Lionel told Reyes to go to the manager's office after training in the afternoon, Reyeston panicked.
Among the 'old players' in the team, if you want to say that you are most familiar with Wansheng, it must be Reyes, when he used to play for Arsenal, he could always hear Wansheng's name, and he also played against Derby County and Manchester City coached by Wansheng.
And then...... Arsenal have barely won a game.
So Reyes is quite recognized by Wansheng's coaching ability, but at the same time he is also a little afraid of Wansheng, he knows that this Chinese coach is simply the same, he has just gained a foothold in Atletico Madrid, and there is an excellent coach to coach, will the other party see that his performance is not good, and want to persuade him to 'leave'?
In the midst of these thoughts, Reyes was even more worried.
Throughout the afternoon of training, Reyes was not in good spirits, and he also went to ask Morris, "Does the boss often talk to someone?" ”
"Probably not, right?"
Morris replied with some confusion, and then Reyes became even more worried. (To be continued.) )
