Next, Dick spent a relatively leisurely time. Under the guise of "going to observe and see if there are any suitable players", Dick traveled to the Netherlands and Belgium at his own expense, wandering around watching the games, and his whereabouts also caused a stir
He has attracted a lot of attention from the Spanish media, so there will always be people asking him what he thinks about certain games...
So Dick once again acted as a stickman. After Spain lost to Norway in the first game, Dick openly declared in the newspaper that Spain would definitely qualify for the group! And it would also qualify as the first in the group!
After these words were said, many people were skeptical, but the facts soon proved that Dick's prediction was correct. Spain defeated Slovenia in the second round, and then defeated Slovenia in an extremely thrilling 4-3 in the final battle.
Yugoslavia proudly entered the quarterfinals of the European Championship as the first in the group!
When Spain began to cheer, Dick poured cold water on everyone. After accepting the game, he said in an interview that actually winning the first place in the group at this time may not be a good thing...
Sure enough, in the drawing ceremony, Spain drew the World Cup champion France. It is indeed not good news to encounter such a strong team in the first knockout game...
Finally, in the quarter-finals, Spain relied on Mendieta's penalty kick to regain a point when trailing 0-2. Unfortunately, the penalty kick they won again before the end was missed by Raul. Spain
They lost to the French national team one to two and missed the semi-finals of the European Cup.
When the Spanish national team returned to China dejectedly, Dick also returned to China. After the European Cup entered the final four, his work will gradually begin.
"Sevilla, who have just been relegated, are a treasure trove... I think we can get some defender substitutes from their team." Marriner said to Dick: "They have a few young central defenders who are quite good, even if they can't serve as
There is no problem with being the main player and playing as a substitute... Hector, 26 years old, right back, has balanced abilities and good assist ability. He performed well in Sevilla last season. Aguilera is not that young.
Small, such a right back who can play can take turns playing with him. Carlos Marchena, a 21-year-old young central defender, also became the main force in Sevilla last season, whether he is playing the main force or playing
The substitutes are all suitable. The key is that Sevilla has been relegated. If we can persuade the players themselves, their worth will not be too high."
Dick nodded clearly. The team's relegation means that the player's value has shrunk. At the same time, they themselves receive the salary of La Liga players. If they go to La Liga to play, it will cause great damage to the club's finances. This is also
The reason why when La Liga teams sell players after being relegated, their worth is always lower than usual - at this time, even if the price is low, they still need to sell, otherwise the financial impact will be greater!
Dick is also quite satisfied with these two players. Dick knows very well about these two players. Marchena later went to Valencia and was still the main player of the national team, while Héctor went to Deportivo La Coruna and was also the main player.
Deportivo La Coruña's main force, if nothing else, these two are the main substitutes, so there is no problem at all.
"As for the left... Mallorca's left back David was a substitute last season. He seems to want to transfer and leave, and Aragones is not very interested in him. We can use a fee that is not too high.
The price brought him in.”
The name David is also familiar to Dick. Later he seemed to have gone to Sevilla and was Sevilla's main force for a long time. It was not until he got older that Sevilla's left back became
Puerta, who died young, was also a powerful player in La Liga.
Dick knew that in order to put together the main lineup, it was necessary to buy stars or future stars. However, in the substitute position, such strong and capable players were also indispensable.
"There are just these three people. If they join, our defense will become very strong... By the way, have any players in the team submitted transfer applications?" Dick asked.
Marina handed over a note and nodded: "Yes, and there are quite a few..."
There are quite a few.
Juninho, Serena, Leal, Hasselbaink...
These four are all players in the main lineup. On the contrary, not many substitutes have submitted transfer applications, such as Paunovic and Beybour. Among the players who have become substitutes, only Toni, the former Spanish national goalkeeper, has requested a transfer.
Apply.
"We agree to their transfer request... but we won't let them go unless they are worthy of their worth."
After a cursory look, Dick felt relieved when he saw that there were no main players such as Beleron, Baraja and Capdevila that he valued, although Juninho and the others were all in the same category.
The main force used by Dick this season, but since he is a new coach, it is normal to replace him with a group of fresh blood. In fact, Serena may not want to leave, but Atletico Madrid's introduction of Makelele is tantamount to telling him
You no longer have the main position. At the same time, the joining of Capdevila and Vicente also made Juninho and Leal feel the crisis. They have not been at Atletico Madrid for a long time, so they naturally hope to value them more.
place.
As for Hasselbaink, he has no shortage of places to go, and he will have better choices.
"It's no problem to leave several midfielders. In fact, Juninho and the others are not in my plan for next season. I have three new players and a core like Belleron and Baraja, as well as Paunovic and Bayern.
With a substitute like Ibor, we already have enough players in the midfield, but on the front line, our pace needs to be accelerated."
Marriner nodded deeply. He understood the current situation on Atletico Madrid's front line - last season's four forwards, Kiko has terminated his contract with the club, Lardin's contract has expired and left, and Hasselbaink proposed again.
In the transfer application, only one Correa can remain. In this case, it is simply impossible not to buy a striker...
"I need one or two forwards, at least one. I plan to promote Torres from the second team. Even if he can't play the main role, at least he can get better training opportunities... In addition, I also need a player who can bring a lot of progress.
Forward of the ball," Dick said to Marriner.
"Tristan is a good choice..." Marina said.
"It is indeed a good choice, but he will not come to our team. All he thinks about now is Real Madrid. Even if Real Madrid doesn't want him, he will go to Deportivo La Coruna, where he can play in the Champions League... The forward's ambition is still relatively high.
Big one..." Dick shook his head and said.
"So... Salva? He was the top scorer in La Liga last season." Marriner continued to suggest.
Dick laughed: "It's just an accidental shooter... Maybe many fans will be happy to buy him, but I'm not optimistic that he will become a top player." - Historically, it was this Salva who got it.
La Liga's top scorer unexpectedly chose to join Atletico Madrid, which was relegated to La Liga. As a result, he was able to score 27 goals in 36 games in La Liga, but only scored 27 goals in 33 games in La Liga.
He scored 20 goals in the game, and then his performance was mediocre whether in Valencia or Bolton. Although it cannot be said that he is a parallel import, it at least proves that he is not a top shooter.
"Then... Raul Tamudo?" Marina said hesitantly.
"The Spanish will not let people go easily." Dick replied with a smile.
"There are no good choices in the country." Seeing Dick say this, Marina could only helplessly spread her hands...
"I think that French kid is pretty good, David Trezeguet. He is young, has potential, can score goals, and is quite famous." Dick finally revealed his goal.
"It's difficult to operate." Marriner thought about it and then said.
Dick knows this very well. Trezeguet became famous in Monaco four years ago. He also participated in the World Cup in 1998 and scored a goal. This time he is also a member of the French national team. He scored in Monaco last season.
Twenty-two league goals, such an outstanding striker is being targeted by many clubs, at least he will not be easily poached by Atletico Madrid.
"I know it's difficult to operate, but we can try our best to complete this operation." Dick said with a smile: "Vicente, Camoranesi and Makelele spent us 28 million, Sola
We have cashed out 7 million in it, and we still have 24 million in transfer funds that we can use, even if we spend all of it on him, as long as we can hit him, then we will be successful!"
Seeing the excitement shining in Dick's eyes, Marriner felt that he should remind Dick: "Don't forget that we still need to buy at least four defenders..."
"Juninho, Serena, Hasselbaink can cash out at least 30 million US dollars. Don't worry about this. Even if we spend more than 30 million US dollars on Trezeguet, there will be no problem. To Monaco Club
We will make an offer and contact Trezeguet at the same time to let him know our sincerity, do you understand?"
Marriner nodded. What Dick said makes sense. If Hasselbaink leaves, at least one forward of sufficient weight must be introduced. Only in this way can the team appear powerful in the transfer market and let the team become more powerful in the transfer market.
Everyone has more confidence in Atletico Madrid!
After Marina left his office, Dick thought about it carefully and then sighed.
"It's difficult. It's really difficult for Trezeguet to get it... He probably won't talk about this issue until after the European Cup. For a young player like him, he won't talk about it until he achieves good results in the competition."
Transfer is the best thing for them... It seems I need to find a backup candidate."
After touching the ring on his hand, Dick decisively used two search cards.
"A substitute forward who has the ability to score goals and is willing to be a substitute."
"A main striker who can bring a lot of goals and has a good reputation."
After inputting such an instruction, the two search cards immediately began to shine with dazzling light. Soon, the light disappeared, and then two names appeared in front of Dick.
"Julio Cruz, plays for Feyenoord."
"Jadel, plays for Porto."
Looking at the two names that appeared in front of him, Dick let out a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on his face.
It turns out... I actually ignored these two people. The players that can be found on these two search cards are all players that Atletico Madrid may introduce, and Trezeguet is not among them, which proves that it is almost impossible for Atletico Madrid to introduce Trezeguet.
Trezeguet - Think about it. Historically, Trezeguet transferred to Juventus at a high price after scoring the golden goal in the European Cup final. With Atletico Madrid's current status, how can it compete with Juventus?
?And even if Trezeguet stays in Monaco, it is better than coming to Atletico Madrid. After all, Monaco can play in the Champions League...
