Chapter 100: Moving Forward with Difficulty!

Barcelona ran into problems with Neymar's bid and other giants quickly stepped in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

How much Neymar is worth has always been a topic of discussion in the European media, even for the 'big-spending' giants, 30 million euros is a huge expenditure, and no giants will directly take out the money to buy a 'Brazilian new star', and all kinds of contacts, temptations, and discussions will follow.

Atletico Madrid is also one of them.

Wan Sheng is very interested in Neymar, but his transfer strategy, like that of other top teams, is to 'cast a wide net', and since last summer, the talent of one team after another has been linked with Atletico Madrid.

The good thing about this 'strategy' is that the other teams don't know who Atletico Madrid is specifically targeting.

For example, it has been widely rumored that Copelle Ferreira will leave Real Madrid in the summer and join local rivals Atletico Madrid, for which Real Madrid fans have even begun to boycott Ferreira.

Some media have taken note of Rodriguez, who has been doing well this season.

"Marca" reported that "according to people familiar with the matter, Atletico Madrid have been privately linked with Rodriguez, and they seem to be negotiating a transfer ......"

In addition, Suarez, who just transferred to Atletico Madrid last year, has also become a target for Atletico Madrid.

The Guardian revealed that "last year, Wansheng planned to bring in Suarez, but the latter refused, and now Suarez is playing well in Liverpool, but Liverpool cannot win the Premier League title, and then Suarez easily thinks of Atletico Madrid, the leader of La Liga......"

In this series of reports, the name of Atletico Madrid is associated with Neymar, which is nothing at all.

That's exactly what Wansheng wants.

In world football, Wan Sheng is already very famous, especially his name is still associated with 'vision' and 'training players', when other people know that he values a certain player, it is not easy to really bring the team, because there will definitely be competitors to block it.

Atletico Madrid has cast a wide net, and others naturally cannot guess the real target of Atletico Madrid's recruitment.

That's how the team's chances play.

Wan Sheng values Neymar very much, and the memories of his previous life tell him that he is a future world-class superstar, and now he is already very famous, and his future value will only get higher and higher.

The introduction of Neymar is beneficial to both the squad and the investment.

Neymar is definitely Wansheng's target, and with such a 'sure win', 'excellent talent and strength' star, Wansheng feels that he has no problem buying it out of his pocket.

Such a genius, 30 million euros is not much!

――――

Wansheng didn't focus all his energy on transfers.

Most of the club's transfer work is done by others, and Wansheng only cares about the transfer of a few players in the 'possible future', and then focuses on the league.

In the 26th round of La Liga, the whole Atletico Madrid team went to Aligendi to challenge the home team Hergus at the Riek PΓ©rez Stadium.

Hergus is already a 'pure' relegation team.

Currently second-bottom in the league, Vigo, who led them to the second division last season and finished runners-up in the second division, was sacked in December, becoming the second La Liga manager to be sacked after Sevilla boss Alvarez.

After that, Hergus brought in Alec, who was idle at home, but the team's results did not improve.

In the 16 rounds of the league so far, they have won at home to Zaragoza, and there has only been one draw in the other games.

Such a 'dismal' result is enough to explain the situation of Hergus.

Even if they are playing at home, they have little chance against Atletico Madrid, and even the fans of Aligandi are not loud, obviously they also feel that Hergus is unlikely to win, and even after Morris scored the first goal, some local Aligandi fans shouted Morris's name as if they were 'chasing stars'.

This is a surprising situation.

In fact, the performance of the Hergus fans is not surprising, they are already a second division team, and even after Christmas, the president of the club said, "After 13 years, we are back in La Liga, this should be celebrated, we will try to fight for relegation." But now, so far, we find ourselves not ready. ”

Therefore, Hergus is actually ready for relegation.

They have been in the lower leagues for 13 years, and last season's promotion was a bit abrupt, and it was too hard for a club with an entire squad worth less than 10 million euros to stay in La Liga.

Hergus is exactly like a "season trip to La Liga".

They will leave at the end of the season and they have nothing to be nostalgic about, because everyone knows that La Liga is not for them, at least for now.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won 4-0 away.

After the game, Wan Sheng and Alec shook hands with a smile, the two couldn't see that they were opponents at all, but like good friends who had just met, Alec also invited Wan Sheng to walk into the press conference together, and then said to the media, "We are ready to lose, Atletico Madrid is too strong, but the game was not in vain, we learned a lot from them." ”

Wan Sheng also praised Hergus in a friendly way, "They played very hard, I thought they would win easily, but in fact, it was not easy for us to win. ”

This sentence made the media roll their eyes.

It wasn't easy to score three goals in the first half?!!

In the second half, some of the players at Atletico Madrid didn't take it seriously, they were completely playing with their footwork, and even then, Hergus couldn't help it.

This is the strength gap!

Wan Sheng doesn't care what the media thinks, Hergus is not a competitor to Atletico Madrid at all, the two teams do not have any competitive conflicts, so they are friendly with each other, and he doesn't need to do anything to offend people, it makes no sense.

――――

After the match against Hergus, the media focused on the Copa del Rey again.

Spanish football held a meeting on the 5th to determine the venue and specific date of the Copa del Rey final, and both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid sent representatives to explain the ideas of their respective teams, and finally both sides chose a 'neutral match'.

Both Real Madrid and Sevilla rejected the Spanish Football Federation's request to use the venue, and after some arguing, the final was decided at the Mestalla Stadium.

The Mestalla Stadium is Valencia's home stadium, and there have been discussions in the media about the possibility of the final being played at this stadium, but the Mestalla can only accommodate 55,000 fans, which is a bit too small to accommodate even Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish Football Federation simply has no way.

They are bent on developing the Copa del Rey and hoping that the Cup will attract more fans, but they don't have that much right, they choose the Mestalla Stadium, and they have to pay Valencia a 'loan fee', and the tickets for the day will be divided into a part, and after the benefits are divided, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who participated in the Copa del Rey final, have little money.

Fortunately, there is also a prize money in the Copa del Rey.

According to the Copa del Rey prize distribution rules, the team participating in the final will receive $2 million each, the winner will receive an additional $3 million in championship money, and in the past, the Spanish royal family would also give a symbolic check of $500,000 and routinely summon the winning team.

The biggest attraction of the Copa del Rey is the 'Europa League (former UEFA Cup) qualification', but for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, European qualification is meaningless, so there is no need to talk about it.

In short, the venue for the Copa del Rey final has been confirmed, and the date has been set for April 13, after the end of the 31st round of the league.

The Spanish media is also starting to look forward to the final.

Until then, there's still a month to go.

It's a busy month, with five league games alone, and Barcelona in particular are playing in the Champions League, with three games to be played between March and early April, so the pressure on Barcelona can be imagined.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, only have five league games to play.

Atletico Madrid is very easy up and down, Wansheng's requirement for them is to play well in the league, don't think about the Copa del Rey final first, "We need to be steady!" ”

"It's all being said that we have a good chance of winning the league championship and the Copa del Rey title, but the season is not over yet, the championship has not yet been determined, the road has to go step by step, the game, we have to play one game at a time!"

"What we have to do is not to think about the championship, but to play every game well, and when we can do that, the championship is already in our hands!"

――――

Two days later, Atletico Madrid hosted Villarreal.

The 'Yellow Submarines' are a traditional powerhouse in La Liga, and they are currently fourth in the league, with two points more than Valencia.

This opponent must be taken seriously.

Wansheng sent all the main players and finally won 2-1 against Villarreal at the CalderΓ³n Stadium.

It sounds bland, but it's actually tough.

Villarreal showed strong attacking quality and did well defensively, with Atletico relying on Mesut Ozil's free-kick and a penalty to win.

After the game, "As" commented, "Atletico Madrid's victory was much more difficult than Barcelona's, but fortunately they persevered......"

Wan Sheng was also very emotional.

So far in the season, every game has become difficult, and the complicated progress of the tournament has made many players mentally exhausted.

Each of them needs a break.

But the season is not over yet, and the time for rest has not yet arrived.

The team has to persevere, especially the main players who have played a lot, and they need to adjust their mentality to deal with every game seriously.

Wan Sheng suddenly thought of the club's psychiatrist, Ms Dina McGovern, when he was in charge of Manchester City. (To be continued.) )
