When Li Ang returned to the hotel, he had calmed down and focused his thoughts and attention on his work. He was a strong-willed person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to wander around Europe alone for many years and eat so much food.
Still insisting on walking despite suffering.
Banderas called and informed him that a player was considering leaving the team. Li Ang was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he became less surprised.
It was the team's striker David Lago who made the clear request for a transfer.
Li Ang is not surprised that David Lago showed his intention to leave. When David Lago was in the Spanish Second Division last season, he was relatively low in the playing list of Sporting Gijon's forwards. But this season,
After the signings in the summer, Sporting Gijon's striker strength has become stronger. Di Natale and Diego Milito are the absolute main force. McGuer Pihra, Benzema and David Lago are the three main players.
Individuals are vying for a substitute seat. Among them, McGuer Pihra is old, but he has rich experience and distinctive characteristics, so he has a place. Therefore, David Lago's direct competitor is Benzema. Originally, David Lago
He is confident that he can squeeze out Benzema and get more playing opportunities. However, it is obvious that Benzema has grown very rapidly and is now a relatively eye-catching new star in La Liga. Moreover,
David Lago can see that head coach Leon appreciates Benzema, so under such circumstances, David Lago knows that his future at Sporting Gijon is bleak.
Li Ang was well aware of this, so when David Lago suddenly requested to leave the team, he was surprised but also felt it was reasonable.
David Largo has average skills and average shooting skills. His biggest feature is his fast speed. It is this characteristic of David Largo that Li Ang likes. The team needs a fast horse on the front line.
However, now, the player himself is relatively determined to leave, and Li Ang really cannot promise David Lago more playing time, so it is better to just get together and part ways.
Therefore, Li Ang's instruction to his assistant was that he could let David Lago leave. Of course, this did not mean that he had to deal with it at a low price. If there was a suitable offer, he could naturally be let go. If there was no suitable offer, he would be released.
David Lago can't leave.
Li Ang is giving the decision-making power to the player himself. If David Lago wants to leave, it seems that he has been in contact with some teams. So, it depends on whether David Lago can persuade the 'new owner'
We have made an offer that satisfies Sporting Gijon. Leon and the club will not set up obstacles for this transfer, but they cannot lose money, right? This can be considered a happy reunion.
***********
David Lago's request to leave the team is acceptable to Leon. After all, the player himself has few playing opportunities in the team and has little effect. Moreover, Sporting Gijon is also about to sign Italian veteran Chiesa, who can maintain the front line.
The thickness of the lineup.
Another player's request to leave the team really caught Li Ang off guard.
The team's central defender Isma expressed his desire to transfer and leave. Although he did not express his firm intention, he expressed this intention in a relatively tactful way.
This was something Li Ang could not have imagined.
Isma is an important substitute player for the team. At present, Sporting Gijon's main center back combination is young Pepe and veteran Hierro. After these two people, Isma will be the first choice. Once Pepe or Pepe are
Hierro is injured, which is Isma's chance to play.
So far this season, Isma has played fifteen times in various competitions, including five starts. Such playing time should be considered relatively good.
Isma's strength is average and there is nothing particularly outstanding. He is a relatively ordinary Spanish central defender. However, he has played in the Spanish Second Division for many years and can be said to be experienced. With such a substitute central defender on the bench,
Li Ang is more assured. He does not require this substitute to be amazing. As long as the substitute for the central defender can be more stable and does not make obvious mistakes when he is needed to play, he is a qualified substitute. From this requirement
Look, Isma is a qualified backup centre-back.
***********
What I learned from Banderas is that other La Liga teams have taken a fancy to Isma. As an important substitute defender for Sporting Gijon, the biggest dark horse this season, Isma worked conscientiously during his playing time.
His performance is relatively stable. Such a player can be fully qualified to serve as the main central defender in other teams, especially in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga.
The one who is interested in Isma is the La Liga team Mallorca. The current situation of this team is very bad. After the 17th round of the league, Mallorca is ranked second from the bottom in the league and is deep in the relegation zone.
The biggest problem for this team currently is that they concede too many goals. They have conceded 28 goals in 17 games, making them the team that has conceded the most goals in La Liga. Their central defender combination of Poli and Cortez has always been
It has been criticized, and the media even joked that as long as forwards from other teams encounter Mallorca's defenders, their confidence will increase.
Under such circumstances, Mallorca has been looking for a reliable central defender who can come to the rescue, and they finally set their sights on Sporting Gijon's Isma.
Isma has played in Segunda División for many years and has rich experience. He is also an important substitute in the current Sporting Gijon team. He performed quite well during his time as a substitute. At least he did not make any low-level mistakes.
From Mallorca's point of view, this is very reliable. An experienced defender rarely makes big mistakes. The most important thing is that he can fight when he comes. This is what they dream of.
***********
For David Largo, Li Ang can give the green light and allow the player to transfer and leave.
Regarding Isma, Li Ang is a little hesitant. A reliable substitute central defender is crucial to a team. He still wants to retain Isma. The most important thing is that it is the winter transfer window.
, if Isma is let go at this time, where can he find a reliable substitute central defender as a temporary emergency?!
Therefore, Li Ang's instruction to Banderas is that the coaching staff should communicate with Isma and his agent again, try to retain him as much as possible, and persuade Isma to stay.
Li Ang believes that Isma can still be persuaded to stay. After all, Isma is still relatively well-used in the team and has many opportunities to play. The most important thing is that Sporting Gijon is currently ranked very good, ranking fourth in the league.
, this is not something that a relegation team like Mallorca can compare to.
Therefore, Li Ang feels that as long as the club retains him, Isma is very likely to stay.
He really doesn't have the energy or time to look for a backup central defender in the winter transfer market. The team is in good shape now and can maintain stability, so try not to undergo surgery.
