There was heavy fog in Beijing and the flight was delayed. Li Ang, who was anxious to get home, simply canceled his ticket and chose to take the train home.
Lying on the sleeper bed, with the sound of the train wheels rubbing against the rails in his ears, Leon's thoughts crossed the Pacific, crossed the Atlantic, and returned to the seaport city on the Iberian Peninsula.
He is still considering a winter transfer.
Although the winter transfer window will not open until January 1, 2005, in fact, like Li Ang, many teams have already started operating player transfers, and it is simply impossible to wait until the transfer market opens before starting.
Then the day lily will be cold. In the transfer market, one principle is followed: strike first to gain the upper hand!
There is basically no problem with the joining of Juan Arango and Chiesa. Even if David Lago wants to transfer and leave, Sporting Gijon's offensive strength will still increase.
However, the joining of Juan Arango also means the fact that Isma will move to Mallorca. Without Isma, an important substitute central defender, Sporting Gijon must make up for the central defender position.
, whether it is the introduction of new players or internal digging, there must be an effective solution.
***********
Within the team, Li Ang once asked Grosso to play as a central defender when Pepe was suspended. However, the effect was not good. Grosso, who is used to playing as a left back, is not used to playing as a central defender.
However, Ivanovic, who now plays right back, can play as a central defender. However, after Dorado was injured, Ivanovic became the main right back of Sporting Gijon, and performed relatively well, and even
Dorado returns from injury, and Li Ang will still choose to let Ivanovic occupy the main right back position, not only because Ivanovic has a stronger impact at the right back position, but also because as a coach, he has a
The credo that is universally applicable is: when a certain player in a certain position performs very well, continue to use this player and do not make changes easily!
A player's condition is a very strange thing. When a player is in good condition, don't take that player's main position easily, otherwise, the consequences will often be serious.
Therefore, although Ivanovic can play as a central defender, unless it is extremely difficult and no one is available, Li Ang will not let Ivanovic play as a central defender, and will still let the Eastern European bring the sword.
Let the defender continue to develop and perform at the promising position of right back.
Therefore, it is not feasible to find a central defender internally. Then, there is only one way, and that is to introduce a reliable central defender in the transfer market.
***********
Many names began to flash in Li Ang's mind, all of which were the names of outstanding central defenders that he could think of.
Without exception, these names are all young players. This is not because Li Ang has a habit of raising calves, but because those stars in their prime are basically already famous stars, and their strength is naturally good.
, most of them play for wealthy clubs or powerful teams in major leagues. The most direct reaction is that the value of these players will also be very high, which is definitely not something that the current Sporting Gijon can afford, and it is even worse.
Let's be realistic, even if Sporting Gijon can come up with the transfer fee, the other party may not be able to take a fancy to the small temple of Sporting Gijon.
The first name that came to Li Ang's mind was Nemanja Vidic, the Serbian star who later played for Manchester United. Vidic is now only 23 years old. This summer, Nemanja Vidic
The specific transfer fee for the transfer to the Russian Super League giant Spartak Moscow has not been announced. However, some European media speculated that Vidic's transfer fee must have set a record for the Russian Super League team to introduce a defender. Of course, as a player from the future
People from 'Time Travel and Rebirth', Li Ang knows the transfer fee for Vidic's transfer to Spartak Moscow, which is seven million euros!
With the number of seven million euros in his mind, Leon sighed in his heart, because he knew that it was almost impossible to 'get involved' with Vidic. First of all, Spartak Moscow could not sell Vidic at a low price.
At the very least, the capital of 7 million euros must be recovered. Sporting Gijon cannot afford this money. In addition, Spartak Moscow may not be willing to sell people, and Vidic may not be able to see it.
After all, Spartak Moscow is considered a giant in the Russian Super League. Even if Vidic wants to leave Spartak Moscow, he is eager to join a giant. Of course, this prompted Leon to transfer this winter.
The most important reason why they gave up considering Vidic during the meeting window is that Vidic's home country Serbia and Montenegro are not members of the European Union, and Sporting Gijon has no non-European quota.
***********
Having no choice but to give up on Vidic for the time being, Li Ang wrote another name in his notebook: Jerome Boateng.
However, Li Ang immediately drew a line on this name and rejected this candidate.
Without him, this later German international and Bayern Munich defense general is only 16 years old and should still be in the youth team of Hertha Berlin. Although Li Ang is good at cultivating young people, what he needs now is someone who can recruit and fight.
The player, a 16-year-old central defender, no matter how good his future potential is, his experience and strength are not enough to play in La Liga.
However, Boateng has a German passport, does not occupy the non-European quota, and is very talented, so he can be put on the list of candidates for future consideration.
Later, Li Ang thought of Thiago Silva, the Brazilian central defender who later became famous in AC Milan and later the captain of the Brazilian national team. Needless to say, his ability is only 20 years old. He joined Porto this summer.
, However, if Li Ang remembers correctly, Thiago Silva is not taken seriously in Porto. He seems to be still in the Porto reserve team and has not been able to play in the first team at all. This is a good poaching.
Opportunity, but it is a pity that this defender, who is affectionately called 'sister-in-law' by AC Milan fans, is Brazilian. Sporting Gijon has no non-European quota and cannot introduce this Brazilian player.
Therefore, for Thiago Silva, Li Ang can only temporarily make a cross.
After rejecting Vidic and Boateng, and reluctantly giving up on Thiago Silva, Li Ang couldn't help but frown.
There are quite a few names that he can think of in his mind, but he needs to be an EU player, able to compete, and willing to play in the 'little temple' of Sporting Gijon, and the team where the player belongs must not
They value this young player and are willing to let him go. Taking these factors together, there are actually not many suitable candidates.
At this time, Li Ang's eyes lit up, his mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of several relatively suitable candidates...
PS: Let me talk about the latest update. I am really exhausted when raising a child by myself. It is not until 11pm every day, or even after midnight, after the child goes to bed, that Xiaoqi has the energy to think about code words and start checking.
Materials, thinking about the plot, coding... Then when I wake up in the morning, it is still a busy day as a dad... The good news is that in a few days, the child's grandma will come to help take care of the child, and then everyone will see a bright and energetic child.
