The city of Seville has two teams, Real Betis and Sevilla.
These are two teams from the same city that are like brothers.
La Liga at the turn of the century was nothing short of magical.
When Irueta led his Super Deportivo, swept the entire Spanish football, defeated the wealthy team Barcelona to win the championship, and sent Barcelona's Dutch coach Van Gaalli back to the Netherlands, Sevilla finished with a terrible 28
3 league points and was relegated to the Spanish Second Division in disgrace.
The strange thing is that in order to advance and retreat with Sevilla, Real Betis, the sworn enemy in the same city, resolutely accompanied the sworn enemy into the second division.
What’s even more magical is that Atletico Madrid, led by the famous coach Sacchi and with superstars such as Vieri and Hasselbaink, actually fell into the Champions League after the end of the season, along with Sevilla and Real Betis.
Out of the quagmire of West Second Division.
It was during that magical summer that Ramon Rodríguez Verdejo took over as Sevilla's sporting director.
His career was an unremarkable substitute goalkeeper. He was teammates with Maradona, partnered with Argentinian hound Diego Simeone, and celebrated victory with Wal Suker, who can play the violin with his left foot...
However, his career is really ordinary, so ordinary that these famous stars may have long forgotten that they had such a teammate beside them.
In just two years after taking over Sevilla, he has rediscovered a long-term development path for the team, focusing on the training of young players and vigorously developing the scouting system.
Unlike Atletico Madrid's unfortunate two-year tour in La Liga, Sevilla returned to La Liga from La Liga in just one year.
Also back together is city rival Real Betis. This team really loves Sevilla very deeply.
In two years, after being relegated and upgraded, Sevilla has undergone tremendous changes, and Ramon Rodríguez Verdejo has also won unanimous recognition from the team, and he even received a highly praised
Nick name.
Hawkeye Monkey!
…
The morning after the UEFA Cup final, Monchi appeared at chairman Del Nido's desk and handed over a thick player report.
"I want to sign him, Mr. Chairman!" Monchi said very firmly.
Del Nido looked at his right-hand man with some surprise. He had never seen Monchi with such an expression.
When you open the player report, the player's name and photo are on the first page.
Su Dong!
Del Nido's brows suddenly furrowed, "Please, Monchi, this is not a good choice."
After saying that, Del Nido stopped reading, folded them up, and put them on his desk.
"You know, he has attracted the attention of almost the entire European football world. There are countless teams in the four major leagues who want to sign him. Do you think he will come to a team like ours?"
In the La Liga that just ended, Sevilla only finished tenth in the league and did not even qualify for the European competition.
"Agent Mendes has already said that his team only wants to go to a team that can play in the European competition."
"I think this may not be undiscussable." Monchi still insisted on his opinion.
"But my two best friends both want to sign him, and I can't think of any leverage I have to compete with them." Del Nido spread his hands with a wry smile, expressing that he was helpless.
He became president of Sevilla last summer. Before that, he was a well-known lawyer in Spain.
The two good friends he mentioned were Hill, the chairman of Atletico Madrid. He was once the mayor of Marbella, but he was investigated for misappropriating a government fund. This was also the last time Atletico Madrid was relegated in 2000.
main reason.
At that time, Del Nido was Hill's legal adviser, and the two had a close friendship, so there were always rumors that Del Nido was involved in this embezzlement case.
As a lawyer, he also has a good friend named Laporta. Yes, he is the presidential candidate who threatened to bring Beckham to Barcelona. And in Laporta's signing list, Su Dong also
Impressively listed.
Even though Atletico Madrid is only ranked 12th this season, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.
Whether it is Atletico Madrid or Barcelona, Sevilla has no advantage.
"I know he is a genius, and the whole of Europe and even the world knows it, but Monchi, we have more than 40 million euros in debt and we can't afford a player like him."
Monchi also knew this, "Mr. President, you know, we are actually very similar to Sporting Lisbon."
"Is it similar?"
"I'm talking about the lineup configuration and tactical play. They have wingers, and so do we. Reyes and Navas are both very outstanding young wingers. We also have young players like Ramos and Puerta in the team.
, In addition, we are also one of the best defensive teams in La Liga, conceding even three fewer goals than champion Real Madrid."
Monchi is full of confidence in the Young Guards he has invested two years in building.
"I have talked with Caparros. When Sudong comes to us, he can play just like when he played in Sporting Lisbon. As for the transfer fee, we can talk about it. I heard that many Brazilian players have transferred to the Portuguese Super League.
If it is a three-party shareholding or even a multi-party shareholding, we can also accept this approach."
The so-called multi-party shareholding means that in addition to the club, there are many other parties, including the players themselves, who all hold shares. As long as the player can maintain an appreciation trend, all parties can benefit from it when the player is finally transferred.
"But I heard that Sporting Lisbon is poorer than us." Del Nido reminded.
Meng Qi kept nodding, "I know, but I think we can talk about it."
As long as Sporting Lisbon believes that Su Dong can achieve better results in Sevilla and increase his worth even higher, Sporting Lisbon will be able to recover several times more transfer fee income than it does now in two or three years. Then how can they?
reject?
"Su Dong is Chinese, does not have EU qualifications, and is a foreign aid. This has actually basically blocked his path to join a wealthy team, because he will not get any opportunities in a wealthy team, and may even be rented out. He
Now you should want to go to a team that can compete in the Champions League, such as Real Sociedad, Deportivo or Valencia."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These are the three top four teams in La Liga. On the contrary, the giant Barcelona is only ranked sixth this season.
"He is still young and would definitely not mind playing here with us and growing up with us."
Del Nido is also ambitious. After hearing Monchi's analysis, he felt that it made sense, "Are you sure?"
"I don't know." Monchi shook his head, "But I think we can give it a try, because as far as I know, the only one who is really interested in Soviet Union and Eastern Europe is Valencia. The presidential candidate Roig has temporarily changed his strategy.
, gave up the previous unrealistic goals such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Trezeguet, and chose to use Sudong as a bargaining chip to please the fans, and won the approval of head coach Benitez. It is said that Benitez is also very optimistic about it.
Su Dong."
It’s no secret that Spain’s most popular young coach is optimistic about Sudong, and interestingly enough, in the season when Sevilla returned to La Liga in 2001, Benitez happened to lead Tenerife to third place in the Spanish second division.
Following Sevilla and Real Betis, he was promoted to La Liga and coached Valencia.
"Right now, Valencia is busy with the presidential election in early June and has no time to operate transfers, so..."
Su Dong has no way to apply for a labor certificate, cannot go to the Premier League, and the Bundesliga has sunk, so the outside world has been speculating that Su Dong's most ideal result is to join La Liga, which has the same origin, which will help him integrate into the new team.
Mendes has also been traveling around La Liga, confirming outside speculation.
Since Valencia defeated Celta Vigo at the end of the season and finished fourth in the league, they were able to participate in the Champions League in the new season. This is the advantage of the Bat Corps.
But the disadvantage is that there are many stars in the Bat Army team and the competition pressure is very high. On the other hand, Sevilla has more young players and attaches great importance to youth training. This is also quite attractive to the 18-year-old Su Dong.
of chips.
Monchi had reached a consensus with head coach Caparros last night. As long as Del Nido agreed, he would immediately start contacting Mendes and arrange for Su Dong to join Sevilla.
He believes that Su Dong will be the most important core strength of the team in the new season!
…………
…………
Su Dong didn't know that he had become the number one target of Sevilla's sports director Monchi, and he didn't even think about figuring out which team he would go to next.
After the UEFA Cup final, he and everyone on the team had a blast.
After waking up in the morning, he and Ronnie went to the hotel gym to exercise on the treadmill for a while to stretch their bodies.
That is, in the gym, Ronnie told him his thoughts.
"Have you decided which team to go to?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Unlike himself, Ronnie is an EU player and is very popular with teams in the four major leagues, including many wealthy ones.
"I don't know. Arsenal invited our family to visit Highbury. Juventus also wanted me to visit Turin. Inter Milan and Manchester United are also interested in me. I want to give it a try!"
Su Dong looked at Ronnie with envy, this is the advantage of EU players.
As a non-EU player, he cannot be envied.
"The competition between wealthy teams is very stressful, so you have to be mentally prepared," Su Dong reminded.
Ronnie smiled confidently, "Don't worry, no matter which team I go to or who my competitors are, I will definitely win!"
"I believe it!" Su Dong smiled.
Ronnie has always been a tough guy who refuses to admit defeat. He may lose temporarily, but he will definitely win back with all his strength.
"You too, no matter which team you go to, you must work hard and don't let me leave you too far when the time comes." Ronnie smiled deliberately and exaggeratedly.
Su Dong smiled, shook his head and said: "You should worry more about yourself. Maybe, if I win the UEFA Cup this year and the Champions League next year, can you catch up?"
"Fart, if you don't go to a rich club, you have no hope of the Champions League. Even if you go to Valencia, you think, they reached the finals twice at their peak, but lost to Real Madrid and Bayern both times. Do you think it will be better to go now?
Chance?"
Today's Valencia has indeed declined a lot compared to when Cooper was coaching, and its strength is not as good as before.
