Speaking of which, Bayern's lack of goalkeepers is really a butterfly effect brought about by senior players.
Back then, when there was a debate within Germany about Neuer and Adler, most people favored Adler because the Hawks were more stable and performed better. Whether it was the national team or the club, their development was rapid.
Faster than Neuer.
But Bayern's Hoeness has always taken advantage of Neuer, and even once said that Bayern would sign Neuer.
The reason is very simple. Noyin's physical and mental qualities are stronger.
Since Bayern still had Lensing, Kahn's successor, at that time, their need for Neuer was not particularly urgent. Schalke didn't want to sell, so they didn't force it and waited slowly. They had some wisdom.
a feeling of.
But who would have thought that after Gao Shen coached Manchester City, he directly poached Neuer.
Then Lensing got worse and worse, but Neuer's form exploded. He even replaced the injured Adler at the World Cup in South Africa and became the new generation of German goalkeepers, establishing his position in the national team.
Now it's good, Bayern has made a fortune.
In the past two years, Bayern has been relying on veteran Butt to support them, but now, Butt has also retired.
Who can hold up Bayern's goal?
Speaking of which, Bayern's senior management also has a really vicious vision.
Ever since he was injured before the World Cup in South Africa, Adler seemed to have started to decline. Last season, he missed almost the entire season due to a patella injury, which had a great impact on Leverkusen.
Therefore, at the beginning of the season, Pharmaceutical Factory urgently loaned the then 19-year-old Bernd Lenno from Stuttgart. It only took the young player half a season to completely conquer Pharmaceutical Factory, which cost Leverkusen seven years.
One million euros to buy him out.
So now, Adler's situation is very embarrassing.
The injury has healed, but the condition has not returned.
Bernd Leno has become another rising goalkeeper prospect in the Bundesliga after his outstanding performance in the past season.
The other one is the little lion Ter Stegen who is the same age as him but almost two months younger than him.
The young Lion performed very well in Monchengladbach, with outstanding skills at his feet and leaving a deep impression on people. Although he often has amazing performances, his stability is still worrying.
It's interesting to say that there is another goalkeeper born in 1992 that has attracted much attention, and that is Leeds United's talented Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. He is 11 days younger than Ter Stegen, but now he is the most valuable among the three goalkeepers.
of.
According to the evaluation of the German transfer market, Courtois is worth 13.5 million euros, Ter Stegen is worth 9 million euros, and Leno is worth 7.2 million euros.
Many times, in the European transfer market, you really get what you pay for.
The value of a player is different from the transfer fee. It is evaluated comprehensively, especially in the German transfer market. Their evaluation is always more authoritative, but the transfer fee is not necessarily certain. It is more based on market trends.
…
Strictly speaking, it is not surprising that Bayern is eyeing Courtois.
Hoeness has expressed interest in Courtois before.
But taking action is different.
"There are many teams interested in Courtois now." Gao Shen frowned.
Su Qing on the opposite side nodded, "Those who have contacted us include Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan. Real Madrid also asked about Courtois before, and I heard that Paris Saint-Germain is also interested.
."
The current environment in European football is that it is very difficult to find good goalkeepers.
Any team in need of a goalkeeper will pay attention to Courtois.
The reason is simple, he is the best among all goalkeepers.
For a team like Leeds United, it is basically difficult to retain people.
Of course, there is no need to force him to stay.
Just like this...
"Sarri has a lot of opinions, right?" Gao Shen asked with a wry smile.
Su Qing smiled sweetly, "My face turned dark at that time."
This is actually the tragedy of small and medium-sized teams.
Gao Shen believes that Sarri can also adjust his mentality.
At that time, the main reason why Gao Shen was able to retain people in Naples was because there were not so many rich people at that time. Teams such as Juventus, AC Milan, Lazio and others were also affected by the Calciopoli scandal, and the purchasing power of the Premier League was not
So amazing now.
If it were now, they would have been poached long ago.
Time and luck!
…
In addition to Courtois, Adam Lallana is also a player that Premier League teams are currently scrambling to inspect.
Including Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, and even Manchester United, many Premier League teams are interested in Adam Lallana, especially considering Adam Lallana's household registration book.
There is news that after the European Cup, this local player will be selected for the new national team training list.
Needless to say, Schneiderlin has already received offers from Manchester United, and Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in him.
Paulinho has received offers from Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, Benteke has been targeted by Arsenal and Liverpool, and even Bolasie has received offers from newly promoted West Ham United coach Aller
Des's invitation.
Allardyce, the old fox, like Ferguson, attaches great importance to data analysis, and Bolasie's performance is indeed good.
This situation made both Gao Shen and Su Qing feel very troublesome.
Logically speaking, after the team is promoted to the Premier League, it should ensure the stability of the lineup to the greatest extent.
But the problem is that Leeds United performed too well in the League Cup last season.
In particular, he defeated Manchester United and Arsenal, reached the final, and scored three goals against Manchester City in the final. It really left an extremely deep impression on people.
Just relying on the English Championship, this group of players will never attract such attention. The most important thing is the competition with strong teams in the cup, which is the most test of the players' strength and potential.
…
When Gao Shen and Su Qing finished breakfast and were about to pack up and head to Manchester, Lucas and Borrell arrived.
These two guys live near Gao Shen's house.
You don't need to guess that they came for only one purpose, summer transfer.
"What did Sarri say?" Gao Shen got straight to the point.
In transfer operations, the head coach's opinion is also a crucial reference factor.
"I definitely don't want to sell, but the current situation is not good for us." After Lucas finished speaking, he also sighed.
Borrell took over with a wry smile, "I talked to him yesterday. If goalkeeper Courtois leaves the team, Navas will be able to do the job. Our goalkeeper coach thinks highly of him."
This Costa Rica national goalkeeper is also highly recommended by Gao Shen, and his strength is indeed quite good.
It is a pity that in Leeds United last season, Courtois performed better and more steadily, and Navas had no chance.
But judging from training, his level is still very high.
"What did he say about the plan we discussed before?" Gao Shen asked.
Previously, when Gao Shen and the technical team were studying the plan, if Schneiderlin and Paulinho were sold at the same time, Jorginho, Alan or Kondogbia would be used to replace them.
"He thinks it's feasible, and he's even very optimistic about Jorginho," Borrell replied.
"When I mentioned to him that if I sell Adam Lallana, I would bring in Coutinho from Inter Milan, he thought about it for a long time and agreed. His idea is the same as yours, to create an offensive channel on the left.
."
Gao Shen knew Sarri well and had already guessed that Sarri would think of this.
"However, one problem is that Bolasie has also received attention from Newcastle, Everton and West Ham United."
This is rather difficult to do.
If Adam Lallana, Benteke and Bolasie are sent away at the same time, the front trident will be hollowed out.
Mane, Salah and Zaha are all capable, but they are all too young and a bit worrying.
From a high-level perspective, he certainly knows what these people will accomplish in the future, but neither Lucas, Borrell nor Sarri knows.
Although Leeds United is mainly composed of young players, it is still somewhat uneasy to use this group of young people in their twenties to play in the Premier League, and the lineup is not strong enough.
Gao Shen thought for a while, nodded and said: "Looking back, you ask the scouts to inspect a winger. I believe he will become a sharp knife for us in the new season."
Lucas and Borrell were both a little surprised and looked at each other.
But they have followed Gao Shen for many years and know that Gao Shen has his own way of identifying people and can always discover unexpected players, so they are used to it.
"There are also two midfielders and one defender. If you tell Sarri, I will put together the 25-person registration list according to his request, and I will not disappoint him." Gao Shen looked very confident.
After receiving the profound guarantee, Lucas and Borrell felt relieved.
From the current point of view, there is not much problem with Leeds United's registration list.
Including the local quota issue that is a headache for many teams, it is not a problem for Leeds United.
The most important thing is that he is too young.
Youth can be a double-edged sword.
Of course, how to use it depends on Surrey.
…
During the chat, Gao Shen also asked about Vardy with concern.
Speaking of which, this local player is indeed quite miserable.
It's really not that Gao Shen deliberately targeted him, but that he just wasn't lucky enough.
In fact, in the second half of last season, when the team's schedule was very intensive, Vardy had already been able to get some playing opportunities.
There is also Harry Kane, both of whom have received a lot of substitute and even starting playing time.
But now, the team has been promoted to the Premier League.
Gao Shen estimated that this guy would have to adapt again.
However, there are some advantages to being promoted to the Premier League, that is, the level of competition in the reserve league is very high.
Gao Shen believes that this will be very helpful to Vardy.
The key is that Vardy himself is diligent enough.
According to Lucas and Borrell, this guy still insisted on training at the club during the league suspension period, and it seemed that he was competing with himself.
Borrell said that in order to adapt to the team's passing and cutting style, Vardy was able to grit his teeth and persist in even the most boring basic skills training, and his level of improvement was very obvious.
This was also an important factor in his ability to play in the second half of last season.
Gao Shen could feel the energy in Vardy's body just by listening to it.
"Continue to pay attention to him and give him more help. I believe he will definitely bring us surprises!" Gao Shen said calmly.
As for what the surprise was, even Gao Shen himself didn't know.
