408 I need a center forward

Dejaminha went down...

Irueta was confused, and Beleron, who was warming up, was dumbfounded. Before Dejaminha went down, Irueta had already started to assign tasks to Beleron. Beleron had also finished warming up and was ready.

Yes. Irueta even told the fourth referee that Belleron was going to replace Dejaminha.

The fourth referee himself was already ready.

Just wait for the chance of a dead ball and let Belleron go up.

But with the end of Dejaminha, these are of little use.

Because of Dejaminha's fate, Deportivo lost one player.

What Irueta is thinking about now is not winning this game, but how to maintain the current score. After all, it is ten against eleven, and the opponent is a strong team like Chelsea.

Irueta is worried.

Worried about not being able to hold on, Chelsea took the lead.

After nearly seventy minutes of competition, Irueta has learned a lot about Chelsea. Chelsea is very strong and is not an easy team to deal with.

At this time, Irueta was deeply resentful of Dejaminha. This bastard failed to control his temper in such an important game.

Damn it.

I felt some regret in my heart.

I regret that I sent Dejaminha in such an important game.

Of course, I felt a little envious at this time.

I envy Valencia’s outstanding wingers.

If there are outstanding wing players, this game can directly attack Chelsea's two wing players. These two wing players are Chelsea's substitute players.

Then there is no need to rely too much on Dejaminha to create the current situation.

Of course, Irueta didn't have much time to think about it.

He is not a slow person.

He immediately sent Belleron back, and then called Duscher. He replaced Tristan with Duscher, leaving only Ma Kai in front.

Fight back.

Irueta is going to fight back.

Seeing Irueta replaced Duscher and replaced Tristan, Su Yun waved his hand. Because Su Yun saw the hope of winning.

Eleven against ten.

The advantage in numbers was a huge advantage. Su Yun saw victory.

Su Yun was not in the midfield at all.

This is because Chelsea's midfielder does not have players like Dejaminha and Belleron who are extraordinary and pass well. Neither Williams nor Parker are the kind of players who are very enjoyable to watch.

Su Yun chose the simplest method.

Find two wings, or directly find Carlton Cole.

This style of play is very common in the Premier League.

In the remaining twenty minutes, Chelsea kept attacking against Deportivo La Coruna. Deportivo was almost completely defensive, and even Mackay in front joined the defense.

It's just that Chelsea has been winning but not scoring.

Carlton Cole's height of 1.91 meters is really in vain. Facing a defender who is 1.82 meters and a defender who is 1.78 meters, he is actually at a disadvantage in the fight for the header.

And it's not an ordinary disadvantage.

In the competition for high-altitude balls, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

There are good reasons why Naibert and Donato can become Deportivo's main central defenders.

They are older.

Therefore, he has rich experience and excellent awareness. When it comes to judging high-altitude balls, Carlton Cole is no match for them.

They are short.

But when they grab the high-altitude ball, even if they can't grab it, they won't let Carlton Cole get it comfortably. Because they can grab the best position every time. Push Carlton Cole.

go out.

Carlton Cole was called for fouls several times.

Because when they were fighting for position, they couldn't win against Nebet and Donato. So they had to take off from a bad position, and in the end they either got a collision foul or a pressing foul.

Su Yun shook his head.

Carlton Cole seemed a little anxious. He was only seventeen years old.

He was transferred to the first team by Su Yun last season, and so far he has played less than five times. Even his appearances as a substitute are very limited.

It was a bit difficult for him to have to fight with defenders of the level of Nebet and Donato so quickly.

Destroy the seedlings and encourage them to grow.

In addition, Carlton Cole is not a real genius player. His talent is limited, so it can only be very unlucky.

But Su Yun had no choice.

The current Chelsea midfielder is very aggressive in organizing attacks. Fortunately, there is Zola now and two wing attacks. Only then can we achieve the current results.

But Zola is too old.

I have been unable to play in many games because of serious physical problems.

Therefore, there is a lack of players who can pass the fatal ball at the front of the penalty area. That's why Su Yun began to reuse Carlton Cole. Unfortunately, this is just a big player out of a disadvantage.

Carlton Cole's talent is limited.

Except for his height of 1.91 meters, his strength in other aspects is much inferior.

Twenty minutes.

Chelsea attack very hard.

But under Deportivo's full defense, Chelsea finally got a 1-1 draw.

I can't say I'm very satisfied.

But I wasn't too disappointed.

Being able to draw with Deportivo La Coruna in the away game is considered a passing score.

"The game is over. Deportivo La Coruna and Chelsea are tied one to one. Neither team should be too satisfied with this result. Deportivo La Coruna was tied at home, which is definitely dissatisfied. Chelsea scored 11 points at the last minute

If they fail to win the game when playing ten games, they will definitely be dissatisfied."

It is true that both parties are dissatisfied.

If we look at it before the game, Su Yun was a little satisfied. But at the last moment of the game, when eleven against ten failed to win the game, Su Yun was a little disappointed.

Just a little bit.

When he returned, Su Yun had long forgotten that little bit of disappointment.

What Su Yun was thinking about instead was the issue of Chelsea's forward line.

Forssell and Carlton Cole are unlikely to be successful. Su Yun wants players who can help Chelsea win the championship, not players like them. If there is a center like Quinn today, of course it will be Husband.

Chelsea can also win this game.

Instead of taking it down, Su Yun would have been sure to bloodbath Deportivo La Coruna.

What a pity.

But Carlton Cole?

I don’t know how many years it will take for him to grow up.

Three years?

When he was twenty years old, he could help Chelsea. Su Yun didn't believe that Carlton Cole was not such a genius. Even when he was twenty years old, he was slightly better than he is now, but he still couldn't be a championship player.

Five years?

ten years?

Su Yun does not have time to wait for Carlton Cole for five or ten years. If Su Yun really had this kind of patience, he would not have left Sunderland and came to Chelsea. If he had the patience, Su Yun would create a championship team in Sunderland.

Team, obviously Su Yun is not that kind of person. Su Yun came to Chelsea because Chelsea can buy capable players.

"Steve, do you think there are any good centers now? Carlton is still too young."

Su Yun did not say that Carlton Cole had limited talent and would not be included in Su Yun's plans in the future. He only said that Carlton Cole was young. It was to save him face.

Clark thought for a moment.

If we talk about good centers, there are still quite a few in today's European football. But Su Yun is definitely not asking about powerful centers in European football, because those centers Su Yun also knows a lot about.

Clark knew what Su Yun meant was those center candidates who could come to Chelsea.

So he said softly: "Don't you have a crush on that German guy?"

"You mean Klose?"

Clark nodded.

Indeed, in the summer, Su Yun had already made an offer to Klose. Su Yun was interested in Klose's header and wanted to introduce him to enrich Chelsea's playing style.

At that time, Chelsea was not short of money, and Su Yun's offer to Klose was not shabby at all. Kaiserslautern was already excited. After all, Kaiserslautern is very poor now.

But Klose himself refused.

Although Su Yun is very sincere.

Historically, there have been very few German players who have gone abroad, but of course there are not none. For example, the three famous German players in Serie A and so on. But in terms of proportion, most German players still like to play in Germany. Plus, immediately

It's the World Cup. He doesn't want to play abroad.

Going abroad to play football at this time is too risky.

He is now the main force of the German national team, but it has just been established. There are many players competing with Klose for the main position of the national team, and there are still a year to go and the variables will be too great. If he loses his position as the main force of the national team because he plays abroad.

The gain outweighs the loss.

For the main position of the national team, Klose declined Su Yun.

Su Yun likes Klose.

Lots of potential, good header.

But Su Yun never thought about hanging from a tree. Back then, Sunderland was a small club. When they encountered players with good potential, they tried every means to introduce them.

But it's different now.

Chelsea is a strong team.

Without Klose, there are still choices.

Moreover, apart from being better at heading the ball, Klose's abilities in other aspects are still unclear. Although his potential is high, what Su Yun wants now is the championship.

He is the kind of player who can fight and help the team.

But there is no time to slowly cultivate Klose.

Therefore, after Klose refused, Su Yun did not force him.

During this period of time, he had forgotten about Klose. So when Clark mentioned him, he was slightly stunned.

"Forget it with Klose. He probably doesn't want to leave Germany in a short time. I'm asking, is there a center that can fight? That's the kind of center that Chelsea needs now."

Winter transfer is coming soon.

Chelsea are in very good shape now. Su Yun hopes to recruit another center in the winter transfer, a center who can fight. This can just help the current Chelsea.

Clark thought for a moment.

He quickly answered Su Yun with a smile: "There is one, and you are very familiar with it."

"who?"

"Gudjohnsen."

"Gudjohnsen?" Su Yun repeated the name. He also thought of his performance in his mind. This is one of the young centers with good performance in the Premier League.

Gudjohnsen is only 23 years old.

In terms of age, he still belongs to the category of young players.

But Gudjohnsen is no unknown figure in English football.

He came to Bolton in 1998. He scored 13 goals in the Premier League in the 1999-00 season, and 14 goals in the 2000-01 season, which was last season.

And his performance this season is also good.

Although Bolton are currently a team avoiding relegation, he has already scored seven goals for Bolton before half a season is over.

Of course Gudjohnsen is not a traditional British center.

Compared to Quinn and Heskey, Gudjohnsen's header is slightly weaker. But his ball control and passing skills are much better than those two.

"He's pretty good."

Su Yun nodded.

Gudjohnsen is indeed outstanding.

But then Su Yun frowned. Gudjohnsen is so young and his performance is so outstanding. It has attracted widespread attention in British football, and there are already clubs hoping to introduce Gudjohnsen.

It's just that among several strong teams in England, Manchester United has introduced Ruud van Nistelrooy and does not need Gudjohnsen. Arsenal's playing style is different and they do not need a center like Gudjohnsen.

As for Liverpool, it goes without saying.

Liverpool's boss on the front line is Owen. The purpose of bringing in players is to cooperate with Owen, and that's how Heskey was introduced. With Heskey cooperating with Owen, Liverpool doesn't need Gudjohnsen.

If it weren't for everyone's problems, Gudjohnsen would have left long ago.

However, recently Tottenham, Newcastle, and Aston Villa have begun to pay attention to Gudjohnsen. Therefore, Su Yuncai frowned and said: "Gudjohnsen's worth should not be low?"

Su Yun has never thought about buying Gudjohnsen before, so he is not very clear about his worth. But based on his more than ten Premier League goals in two consecutive seasons and his performance this season, his worth must not be cheap.

In the summer, Su Yun did not use up all the transfer fees.

But there are only a few million pounds left.

Judging from Gudjohnsen's current strength, his net worth should be between eight million and ten million pounds. Su Yun has no money.

And Ken Bates may not necessarily pay for it.

Clark smiled.

"Su, you definitely don't know. Bolton, like Leeds United, are both in an economic crisis. If we sell now, it will probably be a lot cheaper."

Su Yun's eyes lit up.

Although the idiom "taking advantage of others' advantage" is derogatory, Su Yun likes it very much.

If he hadn't taken advantage of the situation, how could he have picked up Kewell from Leeds United? Since Bolton was also in economic crisis, it was just the right time to take action.

Su Yun has no burden for these.

Because in football, the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.

The teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League go to clubs in other European leagues to poach people, while the strong teams in the Premier League go to the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

The weak eat the strong.

That's how it is.

Su Yun thought carefully about Gudjohnsen recommended by Clark.

I feel that Gudjohnsen can indeed meet his requirements. He is far more suitable for Chelsea than Klose, whom I fancied in the summer. Although Klose is very capable of heading the ball, he is a German player after all.

Whether he can adapt to the Premier League when he comes to Chelsea is a big question.

Gudjohnsen does not have this problem. It has been three years since Gudjohnsen came to the Premier League. He does not need to re-adapt to the Premier League at all. This is a plug-and-play player. Really good.

It suits Su Yun's requirements very well.

"Steve, when you get back, send someone to contact Gudjohnsen."

It would be great if Zola were ten years younger.

If Zola was ten years younger, then Su Yun wouldn't have to worry about missing an offensive organizer in the frontcourt. Or a player who can deliver a fatal threat.

Unfortunately there is never an if.

Zola will soon be thirty-six years old.

Su Yun now must have a high center forward to help him. If the weak teams in the Premier League defended against Chelsea, it would be unlucky. Although Su Yun was not helpless when facing the defense, there was a high center forward at that time.

It's a very good way.

"Yeah, I understand."

Clark nodded. "By the way, Su. You should give me an approximate transfer fee."

Clark knows.

It is the middle of the season and there are many games. Su Yun will not ask about the transfer in person. Since he is going to discuss the transfer, Clark of course needs to know Su Yun's bottom line.

"Five million pounds. If you exceed this figure, the club will have no money. Convince Gudjohnsen and let him cooperate with us."

Su Yun said easily.

I have done this kind of thing a lot, and now I feel less and less burdened.

When Su Yun had personal contact with players for the first time, he was still a little nervous and worried. Now he has no such burden at all.

"kindness."

Clark didn't say anything.

Five million pounds is definitely a big number.

For ordinary people, five million pounds is a large amount of money, and some people will never earn five million pounds in their lifetime. But for European football, five million pounds is just drizzle.

Especially for the current abnormal European transfer market. Five million pounds will not make any waves. In recent years, European football has frequently seen 30 million euros, 40 million euros, and 50 million euros.

, even a transfer fee of 70 million euros was paid.

Even in British football, there have been many transactions worth more than 10 million pounds.

Five million pounds is money?

Fortunately, Gudjohnsen is an Icelander, not an Englishman. If Gudjohnsen was an Englishman, the English media would have packaged him as the best center in the world.

After all, he is still young and has already scored nearly 40 goals in the Premier League. After coming to the Premier League, he has scored more than 50 goals for Bolton in various competitions.

For a forward, this number is reasonable.

After all, Gudjohnsen is only twenty-three years old.

Not really a very old age.

If Chelsea wants to buy him as a local player from England, they may not be able to get it even if it costs 15 million pounds. Due to the media's boast, his worth is estimated to be around 20 million pounds.

Just look at Owen.

When Owen first debuted, his scoring rate was not very high. However, he was packaged by the English media as the next ball king.

Of course, if Gudjohnsen was an English player, he would basically be worthless.

Su Yun should thank Gudjohnsen for being an Icelandic player.

Iceland players?

Sorry. Where is Iceland?

Since he is an Icelandic player, his value must be reduced by half first. If it is a strong team with a relatively good performance in the Premier League, it is not difficult to earn around 10 million pounds based on Gudjohnsen's performance.

But very unlucky.

He is a player for Bolton Wanderers, a relegation team.

Players from strong teams and players from relegation teams have different values.

For the same performance, the value of Newcastle players and Bolton players are different. In Newcastle it would be 10 million pounds, but for Bolton it would be 6 to 7 million pounds.

This is reality.

In addition to this, there is another factor.

Bolton's economic crisis.

It's better to start when there's an economic crisis.

Adding up these factors, Su Yun came up with the words of five million pounds.

What is taking advantage of the situation?

This is it.

This is a blatant robbery.
