Chapter 157: Forward Selection
Thiago Silva is not as famous as Pepe, but he is also the main defender of AC Milan, and he is also worth as much as 30 million euros. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With such a heavyweight player joining, is it still possible for Atletico Madrid to bring in Pepe?
Some media outlets have raised questions.
In fact, it is also the case, it seems that Thiago Silva and Pepe do not conflict, but Atletico Madrid still has a Godin, Godin is no worse than any of them, plus the other players in the back line, if Pepe and Thiago Silva both join, Atletico Madrid's defense is a bit piled up.
As a result, many media speculated that Pepe was likely to stay at Real Madrid.
Wan Sheng nodded when he looked at these reports, I have to say that the media still has a lot of ability, they can analyze so many things from the transfer of a player, it is really unimaginable, but no matter how they analyze, it is difficult to affect the team's decision.
With Thiago Silva confirmed, the team's defence has stabilized.
Wan Sheng has also begun to consider adding some tactical players.
Just like the analysis of the "As" newspaper, Atletico Madrid now has five players confirmed to join, of which Kevin De Bruyne and J Rodriguez are midfielders, Jerome Boateng, Thiago Silva and Juan Forlan are all defenders, they have made up for the lack of midfielders and backfields in the team's lineup, but there is one position, Atletico Madrid only goes out and does not enter, that is, the forward position in the front.
'Sergio Aguero is gone, Forlan is gone, Reyes is gone, the two main strikers, a wide goalscorer, are all gone, and Atletico have not added any. If Atletico's transfer ends here, they will have to worry about goals in the new season......
There may be some truth in the media's analysis, but in fact, Wansheng has never worried about scoring goals.
Diego Costa's goal-front ability is good, his performance last season was not much worse than Aguero, the goal efficiency can still be guaranteed, Wang Qiuming has gradually grown up, coupled with a stable Klose, the team's forward line is actually not a big problem, more importantly, the current team uses the 'b-tf' tactical system, which does not rely so much on the front, Aguero, Forlan left, Kenty has an impact on the goal efficiency, but the impact will not be so big.
Still, strengthening the front line is a must.
Wan Sheng was thinking about replacing Aguero with Neymar before leaving, but Neymar's fame is too great, there are many competing clubs, and Atletico Madrid does not have an advantage in the competition with Barcelona.
This may have something to do with the fame of the two clubs in South America.
Many Brazilian players know that Barcelona is a top international club, but very few know Atletico Madrid. ”
That's embarrassing.
So in Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Neymar himself is definitely more inclined to join Barcelona.
In addition, Neymar's ownership is also a problem, in fact, this also worries Barcelona, Neymar does not exactly belong to the Santos club, he has half of the ownership, in the hands of the agent company, that is, if you want to get Neymar, you must not only talk to the Santos club, but also to talk to his agent company.
Atletico Madrid wants to get Neymar, it can be said that it is really difficult, and even if they get Neymar, the price paid is too great.
So Wansheng simply asked the club to stop the operation of Neymar's transfer, in his opinion, it is unrealistic for Neymar to leave Brazil in the summer, and Barcelona does not want to get him directly.
Neymar can't come and has to bring in a quality striker.
At the beginning, Wansheng considered the introduction of an ordinary striker, only some efficiency is enough, as a substitute for Diego Costa, the new season forward line will rely more on Wang Qiuming, plus Klose's supplement is enough.
After Kevin De Bruyne confirmed the arrival of a transfer, Wan Sheng changed his mind after thinking about it.
Kevin De Bruyne is very good at passing, and with Mesut Ozil, Isco, and J Rodriguez in the team, the team has a very strong ability to deliver shells in midfield.
The 'B-TF' tactical system is also very complex, and it is very difficult for a striker of ordinary strength to enter the team and adapt to the tactics and rhythm of the team, let alone perform well in front of goal.
There's a saying in professional football, "A star can only work with a star." ”
This is not discrimination against ordinary players, but a very real problem, just like C-Ronaldo, back to the Portuguese national team, it is always difficult to cooperate with his teammates, not how bad C-Ronaldo's performance is, but that his teammates are difficult to keep up with his ideas, he passes amazing exquisite passes, but his teammates' thinking can't keep up, they don't run over at all, and the exquisite pass becomes a wrong pass. (The above analysis is just a personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it.) )
Therefore, if you want to introduce a player who increases the ability of the striker, it must not be an ordinary player.
Atletico Madrid will play in the UEFA Champions League next season and will have to make sure they have strong players on every front.
From entering the football coaching industry to the present, Wansheng is more inclined to buy those practical or young players in terms of transfer operations, he always feels that it is a loss to buy big stars, even if he leads Manchester City to the top of Europe, he just bought a Torres, but if you want Atletico Madrid to hit the giants, this transfer strategy alone is definitely not enough.
In terms of professional football transfers, the giants have the practices of the giants, and the small balls will have the practices of the small clubs, just like Real Madrid President Florentino's 'one star a year' strategy, to say that Real Madrid buys stars, spends a lot of money on transfers, but the team's results have not gone up, and many of them, such as Michael Owen and the like, have not been able to play at all during their time at Real Madrid, and Real Madrid seems to have been making loss-making deals.
But from a business point of view, Real Madrid's revenue is growing every year, and now Real Madrid's net income is more than 100 million euros per season.
This is commercialization.
Real Madrid invest heavily in the transfer market every year, and they have more money than they can spend, and they are undoubtedly very successful in bringing in superstars.
Therefore, if you want to develop the club, it is also necessary to buy the right stars.
Stars have strength and appeal, which will make the club more powerful and more famous, which is not what ordinary players have.
Wansheng is ready.
He set his sights on the sought-after stars who would eventually become more sought-after.
At the moment, there are three of the most touted strikers in the European transfer market - Samuel Eto'o, Juan Mata and Falcao.
Samuel Eto'o is one of the most sought-after stars, the Cameroonian striker's value is not high, but the salary is not affordable for the average club, and it is said that the Russian Premier League club Anzhi Makhachkala is ready to network the striker, and they even fired Eto'o from the 'world first' annual salary of 20.5 million euros.
As a 30-year-old player, Samuel Eto'o has reached the age of 'gold' and the Russian league is unattractive, but for Eto'o, who has already won many honours, money is undoubtedly more attractive.
Wan Sheng just glanced at Eto'o's recent transfer news and chose to give up, because Atletico Madrid is unlikely to offer a player an annual salary of more than 10 million euros, no matter how famous the player is.
Juan Mata, who plays for Valencia, is also highly sought after, with Valencia ready to sell Juan Mata in exchange for funds.
This is the 'usual transfer practice' for Valencia.
Valencia's transfer strategy is the opposite of Real Madrid's, Real Madrid's strategy is one superstar per year, Valencia is 'one superstar per year' strategy, of course, that's just a ridicule in the media, but the truth is pretty much the same, last season, Valencia sold their top scorer Villa to Barcelona, and this season they are looking to sell Juan Mata.
This may also be the sadness of the other 18 teams in La Liga, except for the 'Western Super League', who must rely on selling stars in exchange for the survival and development of the club.
This summer, there was a change in La Liga, and Atletico Madrid, which had received Chinese capital, has left the 'small club' group, and they no longer need to rely on selling stars to survive.
The other team is Malaga.
Last summer, there was news from the Malaga club that Abdullah Alsani, a member of the Qatari royal family, had bought a stake in Malaga and became the team's president, but still maintained the leadership of the previous team, while hiring the previous president, Sans, as an adviser to the team. Once in charge, he brought Porto coach Jesúado Ferreira to Andalusia.
After being sacked in November last year, Ferreira quickly hired former Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini as the team's new manager.
With the support of the Qatari royal consortium, Malaga has enough confidence, and they have become an emerging force in La Liga - Tulalang 11 million, Cazorla 21 million, just two signings, spent 33 million euros, and so far, Malaga has not received even a penny in cleaning personnel.
According to the analysis of the newspaper Marca, "Malaga is likely to become the king of La Liga money burning this summer." ”
Regardless, Valencia did not receive a capital injection and they must continue their previous transfer strategy in order for the club to survive, so they have to sell Juan Mata for cash.
The Spanish international has been linked with Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal, with Chelsea being the most keen on Juan Mata due to their lack of attacking core.
Wan Sheng looked at Mata's information, thought about it a little, and decided to let the club make a move.
The last player who is the focus of European transfers is Romedal Falcao, who plays for Porto. (To be continued.) )
