Chapter 276 The method of angry response is to dig a corner of the future
With the addition of Milito, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief to the team's forward line. He is looking forward to the partnership of Di Natale and Milito.
Now, Sporting Gijon has four forwards, Antonio Di Natale, Diego Milito, David Lago and McGuer Pihra.
Among them, Di Natale and Milito will partner up front, while David Lago and McGuer Pihra are waiting for opportunities on the bench.
Logically speaking, the configuration of four forwards should be enough, but Li Ang vaguely felt that something was wrong.
This was something wrong. After he got the team's physical examination report, he finally understood something.
McGuire Pihra is thirty-six years old. Although McGuire works hard and cherishes the opportunity to see the sunshine at the end of his career, he is indeed old.
Although according to Li Ang's plan, McGure Pihra will be on the bench to take orders at any time, it is obvious that McGure Pihra's body is a hidden danger in case of injury during the season.
, then, there will be a shortage of personnel on Sporting Gijon's bench. To put it bluntly, if one of Di Natale or Milito is injured, there will be no substitute at all. McGuer's physical support
It will not last the whole season, and David Lago's strength is very average. The most important thing for Liang to keep David Lago is that he is very fast. This is a player with characteristics who can under certain circumstances.
It is effective, but it is definitely not something that can be entrusted with important tasks in most cases.
The team also needs a qualified substitute who can be on standby on the bench at any time.
For the starting striker position, Li Ang chose Di Natale and Milito, both of whom were in their prime. So, now for the substitute forward position, Li Ang began to consider young people.
It's good to bring in a young person and slowly train him and develop him.
*************
"Our forward line still needs to be strengthened," Li Ang said to assistant coach Scott Rui.
"Four forwards, that's enough," Scottry said.
Li Ang shook his head. He glanced at his other assistant, Banderas, who thought for a moment and understood what Li Ang meant. "McGuer's body is a hidden danger."
"That's right!" Li Ang nodded and said, "This season, we are fighting on the third front, and we must fully consider the impact of injuries."
"So, do you have any goals?" Scott Rui also realized the hidden danger on the front line that might not be too noticeable at first, and agreed with Li Ang's point of view and asked.
"Of course." Leon smiled, then turned to Banderas and asked, "Pablo, what do you think of Alvaro?"
"Alvaro?" Banderas was stunned for a moment, and then understood who Li Ang was talking about. It was Alvaro Negredo. When Li Ang became the coach of the Real Madrid youth team, Negredo was his subordinate.
As a player, Banderas was an assistant coach at that time and naturally knew Negredo well.
Negredo is about to turn 20. This young man is a rare center forward in Spanish football. He is extremely strong. He is now 185cm tall and has a strong impact in the penalty area.
"Yes, Negredo is a good choice." Banderas expressed support.
Of course it's good. Li Ang admires his old player very much. Although his personal skills are not exquisite and his speed is not fast, Negredo can play a bridgehead role. With such a player as a fulcrum in front, he is very threatening.
Whether it is a cross from the wing or a through ball from the center, whether it is an overhead pass or a low pass from the ground, Negredo either shoots or passes the ball. He has a good foundation in handling the ball. Even if it is some difficult to handle the ball, he can
I will also work hard to adjust my pace and body to complete the shot as much as possible.
In addition, the 20-year-old Negredo has just been promoted to Castilla by Real Madrid, but he does not have many playing opportunities. If there is a chance to play in La Liga, he will naturally be willing to play even as a substitute.
*************
Li Ang quickly reached a consensus with the coaching staff and asked Real Madrid to buy Negredo.
Real Madrid responded quickly and rejected Sporting Gijon's offer.
Li Ang began to wonder, is Real Madrid unwilling to give up Negredo, a potential stock? He can see Negredo's potential, and Real Madrid naturally has people who know people. Then, Sporting Gijon once again asked Real Madrid to buy Negredo, but
, this time, they proposed a lease.
If Li Ang consciously rents out, Real Madrid should agree. They are a La Liga team. They are willing to rent Negredo and give Negredo a chance to play. This is equivalent to helping Real Madrid train its young people, which is a good thing.
However, what caught him off guard was that Real Madrid also rejected the request for a loan.
If Real Madrid wants to keep Negredo in Castilla and is unwilling to let the player leave, then forget it. The most annoying thing is that two days later, Negredo was loaned to Rayo Vallecano by Real Madrid!
Real Madrid would rather loan Negredo to this Spanish second division team than to loan Negredo to Sporting Gijon. You know, as Negredo's former coach, Leon must be familiar with Negredo's characteristics.
No matter from any point of view, loaning Negredo to Sporting Gijon is the best option, but Real Madrid obviously ignored this option.
Li Ang is not stupid either. He quickly understood that this was a 'sanction' imposed on him by Real Madrid. Yes, it was a sanction. It started to show up when he wanted to buy Morientes. Now, he wants to buy Negredo.
Being rejected once again fully illustrates this point.
I don't know whether it was the decision made by Real Madrid Chairman Mr. Florentino who was angry with Leon, or the intention of Real Madrid General Manager Valdano. Anyway, the reality is that Real Madrid has closed the door to Sporting Gijon, that 'selfless dedication'
Real Madrid's youth training camp, which supplies the entire Spanish football world, has unilaterally closed its doors to Sporting Gijon. Sporting Gijon has no hope of taking advantage of Real Madrid.
*************
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you think I'm just a sick cat!
Li Ang was completely angered this time.
Originally, in his plan, Real Madrid's players from the 85 to 89 generation were almost his exclusive territory. He had coached this youth team, including players such as Callejon, Negredo and De La Red, whom he coveted.
I just want to dig a hoe from time to time. He used to be the head coach of these players and has always had a good relationship. This is the first-come-first-served approach.
However, now, Real Madrid seems to have put him and Sporting Gijon on the 'blacklist of no contact until death', which makes Li Ang's wishful thinking come to nothing. Can he not be angry?
"I can't swallow this breath." Li Ang said to the two assistants, "I want them to know that if they offend me, they will pay a big price."
Scoteri and Banderas both laughed bitterly. They did not expect that Real Madrid would deliberately target Sporting Gijon. They can only say that head coach Leon unscrupulously criticized Florentino at that time. It seemed that he was really provoking
The big boss was angry.
"What? You don't believe it?" Li Ang snorted coldly and asked.
"Well, I'm going to see if there is anything I need to add to the afternoon training plan." Banderas said. His main job now is to make the training concrete according to Li Ang's tactical requirements.
"I still have something to do over there," Scott Rui also said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, you guys -" Li Ang watched the two assistants walking away laughing and grinning angrily. These two guys obviously thought they were bragging.
Obviously, in the eyes of Scottri and Banderas, Li Ang and Sporting Gijon can only suffer a dumb loss in this matter. Facing a behemoth like Real Madrid, what other counterattack can Li Ang have?!
, just live with it.
Li Ang snorted, but he didn't believe my methods. Let's wait and see.
His method is to poach Real Madrid’s future corner!
This man was indeed irritated.
*************
That afternoon, French Ligue 1 club Lyon received a fax.
Sporting Gijon from La Liga are looking for their young player Karim Benzema.
The Lyon club was also quite surprised by this fax. They even had to find out who this Karim Benzema was at the beginning. There was obviously no such person in the first team.
"Do we have this player?" Lyon coach Le Guan asked his assistant, former Lyon player Remi Garde.
Remi Garde thought for a while and shook his head, "Maybe he is a player from the reserve team. I'll ask."
Soon, Garde came back, "Got it, Karim Benzema, a player born in December 1987, is not yet 17 years old, and he previously played in the youth team.
, has just been promoted to the reserve team by Mr. Sals, the reserve team coach, and serves as a forward."
Hearing that he was just a little guy under the age of seventeen, Legon suddenly lost interest. He waved his hand and handed the fax of Sporting Gijon's purchase request to Remy Garde, "Remy, you and I are responsible for this matter."
Let Mr. Squilani handle the transfer of young players."
"Refuse?" Remy Garde asked.
"Whatever." Legane said with an indifferent attitude, "Let's see what they bid."
"Okay, I understand." Remy Garde nodded.
*************
Many years later, Le Guan still regretted his indifferent attitude towards Sporting Gijon's purchase of Benzema. What he regretted was that if he had paid a little attention or watched Benzema's game videos and observed
After Benzema's training, he will find that this kid's talent is extraordinary and he will pay attention to it. Unfortunately, at this time, what he is thinking about is Essien's contract extension. Chelsea is interested in Essien. Le Guan is now
He is trying to retain this Ghanaian star. He knows that Essien will go to a wealthy club sooner or later. Lyon cannot keep such a player, but it is a year if he can stay for one more year.
Le Guan is worried about Essien's contract extension.
After a simple communication, his assistant Remi Garde and Mr. Squillani, who was in charge of the transfer of young players, responded to Sporting Gijon. Their reply was not rejection, but a direct price of one hundred.
Ten thousand euros, fixed price!
There is another story here. Mr. Squilani, who was in charge of the transfer of young players, had an appointment with a beautiful woman that night, but his mind was not on the business at all. He did not even hear clearly who the name Remi Garde mentioned was.
Karim Bentra? (A centre-back from Lyon’s reserve team) Well, or someone else? (To be continued.)
