Known as the 'Venezuela national treasure', Arango is a very creative attacker who can organize attacks in the midfield and destroy the front line. His passing and shooting are very enjoyable to watch. Especially
He is good at set pieces and long-range shots, especially after honing his skills in the European leagues for several seasons, his footwork has become increasingly perfect. The ball he kicks with his left foot combines the arc of Beckham and the power of Carlos.
There was also Juninho's confusion. During a period of time, Arango took free kicks so wildly that the Spanish media even exclaimed that Arango was simply taking the free kick as a penalty kick.
The more Li Ang thought about it, the more he felt that this Arango was really a treasure.
Arango's passing and organizational skills are good. Although he may not reach the level of a master, he is still at the level of a first-class star. What's more, Arango's long-range scoring ability will also make Sporting Gijon more attractive.
An important means of scoring.
In Li Ang's memory, Arango scored many amazing goals in La Liga and the Bundesliga.
Therefore, Li Ang immediately made up his mind to use this opportunity to recruit Arango.
Taking advantage of Cooper and Mallorca's desire for Isma, they acquired Arango, a general.
As long as Cooper nods to agree to the deal, as for the player's own attitude, Li Ang thinks it's not a big problem. Although Mallorca is a veteran team in La Liga, it has more qualifications than Sporting Gijon, a newly promoted team that returned to La Liga after many years.
Much older, but Sporting Gijon is now the dark horse storm in La Liga. It is the biggest dark horse in La Liga this season. Sporting Gijon, ranked fourth in the league, and Mallorca and Alão, ranked 19th in the league.
Which one Go will choose? The answer is self-evident. What's more, Sporting Gijon has reached the knockout stage of the UEFA Cup and there is still a European war to play. This can naturally be a bargaining chip for Li Ang.
***********
Mallorca training base, in the head coach's office.
Cooper shook his head at the other members of the coaching staff who were looking at him, "He rejected us!" Although Li Ang did not explicitly reject it and said he would consider it, in Cooper's view, it was a tactful rejection.
"Of course." Assistant coach Iguodala said, "Sporting Gijon is currently in good shape and has good results. Although Isma is not the main player, he is also an important player for Sporting Gijon. They cannot let go at this time.
Take Isma’s route.”
The other members of the coaching staff nodded in agreement.
Cooper paced back and forth in the office anxiously. "Is there nothing we can do?"
"What else can you do? Hector, in fact, I didn't agree with you buying Isma from the beginning." Iguodala shrugged and waved his hands. He and Cooper are old partners, so he spoke more casually.
, "This deal is difficult."
"However, Isma is the most suitable choice at the moment." Cooper stopped and knocked on the table. "The team's defense is very bad. We must defend well first. A reliable central defender is the key to all this.
The premise is that there is no time for us to waste in the winter transfer. It is difficult to meet such a suitable player..."
Cooper looked anxious.
***********
Iguodala can understand Cooper's mood now and knows that he is eager to make some achievements to prove himself. Mallorca, as the place where Cooper became famous, obviously has a special meaning for Cooper.
Cooper was unknown when he was a player. He started his professional coaching career in the 1992/1993 season and rose to prominence.
The 37-year-old just started coaching Huracan in the Argentine League. From 1995 to 1997, Cooper coached Lanus. From 1997 to 1998, he served as the coach of Mallorca in La Liga and led Mallorca to win the King's Cup that year.
After finishing runner-up, the team then reached the European Cup Winners' Cup final, but unfortunately lost to Serie A giant Lazio in the final.
In the summer of 1999, Cooper coached La Liga giants Valencia. In 2000 and 2001, the Bats advanced to the UEFA Champions League finals twice in a row, but lost to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, finishing second for two consecutive years.
Subsequently, Cooper coached Serie A giant Inter Milan. Although he was later fired, during his time at Inter Milan, Cooper led Inter Milan to almost win the league championship and enter the Champions League semi-finals. In those two years, Inter Milan was almost in front of the goalkeeper.
The strongest Inter Milan since the 1990s.
If Li Ang was asked to describe Cooper's tactics in one sentence, it would be that he focuses on preventing counterattacks, his style of play is ugly, and his results against strong teams are average, but he is very effective when he abuses opponents.
After being fired by Inter Milan, Cooper was disheartened for a time. After being idle at home for more than a year, he finally decided to make a career again. He chose Mallorca, the place where he became famous, and naturally he was eager to regroup in this blessed land.
.
It is precisely because of this that Cooper is a little impatient. In his tactics, defense is the first priority, and the importance of the center back is undoubted.
Cooper really admires Isma very much. Famous coaches like Cooper are very stubborn. If they are optimistic about a certain player, they will be very determined in their choice.
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang. Cooper glanced at the caller's number and showed a surprised expression, then his expression changed and he quickly picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Cooper, I have a trading plan here, what do you think?"
The voice of Sporting Gijon head coach Li Ang came from the other end of the phone.
***********
After hanging up the phone, Cooper had a thoughtful look on his face, but his joy was not concealed.
"How's it going?" Iguodala asked, and everyone else looked over eagerly.
"Leon proposed a player-plus-cash transaction plan," Cooper said.
"Player plus cash transaction?" Everyone was stunned.
"Yes, they offered to exchange Juan Arango plus 1.5 million euros for Isma," Cooper said.
After hearing what Cooper said, everyone began to think about the pros and cons of this plan.
"Juan Arango joined on a free transfer." Iguodala spoke first, "In the past half season, the Venezuelan's performance has been average. Why would Leon take a fancy to Arango?"
"Why did he fall in love with Arango? Don't worry about that." Cooper waved his hand. He had no time to pay attention to the other party's thoughts. "What we want to discuss now is whether this transaction plan is advisable?"
"I think it's feasible." A member of the coaching staff said, "Arango's performance is very average. I don't see anything special. It seems difficult for the Venezuelan to adapt to the European League. Anyway, when Arango was introduced, there was no
After spending the transfer fee, now that Sporting Gijon has taken a liking to Arango, it can be considered a contribution to the team."
"It's basically feasible." Another member of the coaching staff said, "However, we can negotiate the transfer fee and let them lower it. Arango can deduct part of the transfer fee no matter what."
The coaching staff is unanimous in their opinions. This transaction plan is feasible. At the same time, they also hope that Arango can be used to offset part of the transfer fee. That is to say, they hope that Sporting Gijon will not hold on to the 1.5 million euros in funds and can
Lower it appropriately.
In a word, the coaching staff of Mallorca head coach Mr. Cooper has the same opinion. Arango's performance is very average, there is no potential, and he may not even be able to adapt to La Liga. Moreover, this player was introduced on a free transfer.
Even if it is transferred out now, it is not too distressing, and the coaching staff is happy to see that Arango can "use waste" and contribute to the team in this transfer: This is very feasible, very
OK.
The opinions of the coaching staff also allowed Cooper to finally make up his mind that the deal was feasible.
