Chapter 9 The Choice of Full-Backs

The process of persuading Ribery was not difficult.

Ribery didn't do well at Ales Club. He was just an ordinary player. He always felt that the club did not pay enough attention to him. There was also a quarrel, which was exposed by the media in Ales City.

So Ribery will definitely leave Ales in the summer, the difference is only where he goes.

The Brest club has long been interested in him, but Ribery wants to play in a better league. He yearns for the five major European leagues, but that can only be a future goal. Compared with the Brest club, Derby County, as a League One club, is obviously more attractive.

But the Brest club also has advantages. It is a domestic club in France. He will not leave France when he goes to Brest. Wan Sheng persuaded him with one sentence, "Derby County will be promoted to the Premier League next year, and then you will have a chance. Playing in the Premier League, do you believe me?"

Ribery and Wansheng looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "Whether Derby County can be promoted to the Premier League or not, it is indeed more attractive than Brest. I like a more competitive and attractive league. . This is not a difficult choice for me. However, after listening to your words, I have more confidence."

"I trust you, a young Chinese coach who speaks French so fluently."

Wan Sheng smiled.

He felt that his so-and-so aura finally showed his power, and it was not easy to persuade a player to join Derby County. After all, Derby County was only a second-tier team in England, and in the whole of Europe, it was not very attractive.

At the same time, he also thanked the 'legacy' left by the former Wansheng. It was the former Wansheng, the real genius. Let him have the ability to be proficient in seven languages. If not, he will have obstacles to communicate with Ribery, let alone persuade him so smoothly.

Being able to communicate normally will always make people feel good. He believes this has played a key role.

Wansheng promised Ribery his main position.

Ribery, who was promised, was more confident. For him, it was actually a difficult choice. Although he didn't do well in France, he could only play in the lower leagues, but if he wanted to play abroad, he wasn't in the second league in England, which was unacceptable. .

It was difficult for him to make a decision.

This decision may affect his life. He also agreed after all kinds of thinking.

Wan Sheng didn't care. In fact, Ribery will definitely be the main force when he goes to Derby County. As long as he sends a fullback, Ribery will definitely be the No. 1 starter, because apart from one Weberson, he has no other fullbacks who can shoot. Well, at the end of last season, it's okay to say that he has been letting the team play defensive counterattacks. It's not a few games this season, and he can't always keep the team passive.

So every position in the team is very important.

After getting Ribery himself. This transfer was much easier, and he asked Derby County to make an offer to Ales.

The first offer was £300,000 and it was just a test.

It was only 300,000 pounds (about 450,000 euros), which also surprised the Ales club. There were no more than three clubs that wanted to buy Ribery. Among them, the Brest club had the highest offer, which was only 400,000 euros. It is a small club in Ligue 2. The situation is far worse than that of League One clubs. For them, 100,000 euros is a lot of money.

However, the Ales club did not directly agree, nor did they directly refuse, they first asked Ribery's wishes.

Ribery naturally agreed.

He said something, "I would rather go to League One than Brest Club!"

This surprised the Ales club, they couldn't help but suspect that the Derby County club had contacted Ribery privately, but they had no evidence and Ribery didn't say anything more.

Soon they received the second offer from Derby County, this time it was 350,000 pounds, an increase of 50,000 pounds compared to the last time. When they heard this relegation, Ales Club did not hesitate. Regarding the other side's private contact with players, they I don't care anymore, because the other party's offer is also more than 100,000 euros higher than that of the Brest club.

Considering that Ribery is not a talented player, they directly agreed to the offer. In this way, Ribery's transfer was finalized within two days.

At this time, Wan Sheng had left France and returned to Derby County.

Back at Derby County, the transfer work really began. Wan Sheng was a fan in his previous life. He knows a lot of little monsters in this era. Now he is the head coach of Derby County. Wan Sheng also has an idea to bring these people to his team, but it is unrealistic to think about it now. .

This involves a UK labour certification issue.

After poaching Wang Xiaolei and Dai Lin in China, Wansheng realized this problem. Wang Xiaolei and Dai Lin can indeed enter the Derby County youth team, but it is almost impossible for them to play for the first team in a short time. According to the British labor certificate It is stipulated that non-EU players must participate in 75% of the international A-level competitions of the country's national team in the past year, and the country's FIFA ranking must be in the top 64. If both conditions are met, it can be issued.

According to such regulations, the two Chinese teenagers will not have to play for Derby County for two years.

What Wansheng considers is the 'special clause', that is, the 'genius clause'. The clause stipulates that there can be exceptions for talented players who do not meet the conditions. Derby County is not a small club, and it still has some influence in England. It is still possible to secure a 'genius clause' spot within two years.

But despite this, Wang Xiaolei and Dai Lin can only be the future of Derby County, not the present.

So those non-EU players, even if they become famous in the future, Wansheng does not intend to dig them. He has no ability to make them appear in the League One, so even if they dig talented players, it is meaningless at all.

And the young players in Europe, who can play in the future, are mostly favored long ago.

C-Romantic has joined Manchester United this summer, Cesc Fabregas has also begun to show his talents in Arsenal, Van Persie has started to play in the Eredivisie, and Robben has long been a famous talent in the Netherlands... These well-known stars, in this The times have begun to bloom with their own brilliance, even those who are late bloomers, such as Spain's 'little gourd doll' Villa. He is also the backbone of Sporting Gijon. He will join Zaragoza this season to participate in La Liga. In contrast, Derby County is too competitive.

After waking up from the fantasy, Wansheng still has to face the reality.

Mining future stars is almost nothing but a thought. But he didn't really need to worry about it. He already has football training masters in his hands. As long as he buys those players who are not bad and trains them himself, their performance will definitely not be bad.

Next, he looked for the position that the team lacked and thought about it.

The team has Bolton Reiter on the front line, and he will be an unstoppable main center after a season of baptism. Reiter's ability is not a problem at all. He is already a very good centre forward at League One level.

In addition to Bolton Reiter, there are Ian Taylor and Ivan Crewe on the front line. Ian Taylor is a veteran. After a season at Derby County, he is a year older, but has football training. With the master system in hand, Wansheng can still guarantee Ian Taylor another season of brilliance.

Ivan Crewe's technique is average, but he has a decent free-kick. He is also a free kicker that Wansheng focuses on training, and such a player can definitely be relied on.

Three strikers are still not enough. This position requires a player to be added.

In terms of midfield, the main thing missing is the full-backs, but with Ribery's addition, he and Webberson are on the left and right, and they can definitely take a shot. There are Morris, Ferdinand and others in the middle. There is no shortage of players.

The backcourt is what matters.

The captains Marcus and Alfred are very good, but they are both central defenders. The team has almost no real full-backs. This is the position that needs to be supplemented the most.

The next job for Wansheng is to analyze the various information brought by the club's scouts and find excellent full-backs that Derby County has a chance to win.

The full-backs who are already famous now hardly have to think about it, the clubs don't have that much transfer money. Ribery's transaction is completed, and the transfer funds he can use are less than 1 million pounds. This money can only be used to buy a qualified full-back who is not well-known, but the team needs at least two. Wansheng only hopes that Nico -Herziger can sell for a good price and he will be able to add two full-backs when the time comes.

But time waits for no one.

The summer transfer is naturally the sooner the better. He can't wait for the news from Wilcox and will start the transfer.

Among the piles of data, Wansheng identified three players - Thomas Hubschmann of Sparta Prague, Leto Ziegler of Grasshoppers Zurich, and Leiden of Wigan Athletic. Bynes.

Wansheng has no impression of Thomas Hubschman. This is a player selected purely based on scouting information. The player is currently playing in the Czech league. At the age of 22, he is a player in his prime. Last season, he played 25 times for Sparta Prague, making him a semi-main player.

The reason why Wansheng chose Thomas Hubschmann was his age, ability and nationality.

At the age of 22, it is the glorious beginning of most players' careers. Thomas Hubuschman can become a semi-main player of Sparta Prague, and he must have a certain level. There is still room for such players to be cultivated. Buschman comes to the team and can play directly, and Derby County needs this kind of player.

Hubschman is a player of Sparta Prague and the reason why Wansheng chose him. The Czech league has always been the nutrient of the five major leagues. The purpose of training players in Sparta Prague is to make a profit. As long as they have money, they have nothing for sale. For them, whether a deal can be reached or not is only the difference in the transfer fee.

A semi-main player like Thomas Hubschmann can almost win it with 1 million euros.

Leto Ziegler of Grasshoppers in Zurich, Switzerland and Leighton Baines of Wigan Athletic are different. Wansheng took a fancy to them because of their previous impressions. Leto Ziegler is the main side of Juventus in the future. Midfielder, Leighton Bynes is a future England player.

A player who can achieve this kind of achievement is also considered a star. To become a star by relying on his own ability, naturally, there is no need to say more about his talent.

In contrast, Wansheng is still more impressed with Leighton Baines, because he knows that Leighton Baines will be England's 'Young Player of the Year' next year, that is, next season. , Leighton Baines will become famous, and if you want to win this player, it can only be now.

According to the information collected by scouts, Leighton Bynes only signed a professional player contract with Wigan Athletic last Christmas. He has not played a few times for the team, but his performance is also very good. not easy.

Wigan Athletic are not fools, they can't sell their future at a low price.

However, Wan Sheng didn't expect too much. When he wanted to come, he found three people, just to deal with the transfer failure. As long as the three people can win one person, it will be considered that the goal has been achieved.

Soon Derby County clubs sent three transfer applications, Sparta Prague, Zurich Grasshoppers and Wigan Athletic all received offers.

Three point quotes are different.

Derby County's offer for Thomas Hubschmann is £700,000 (about 1.05 million euros), as Hubschmann is already a semi-regular player for Sparta Prague, and only £400,000 for Leiden Baines , he has not played a few times for Wigan Athletic, such a player's price of 400,000 pounds is not bad, the offer for Leto Ziegler is the lowest, only 200,000 pounds, this price is the same as buying A youth team player, but Leto Ziegler is indeed a youth player. He is only under the age of 18 and has only made ten appearances for the Zurich Grasshoppers.

Three offers are sent, and the next step is to wait for a response.

While waiting for a response, Wansheng received good news that Wilcox's transfer negotiations with Dalian Shide were over, and Nico Herziger was traded to Dalian Shide for a transfer fee of 15.5 million pounds (about 1 million pounds). ) RMB, and Derby County also sent a youth team striker, and Dalian Shide's Wang Xiaolei and Dai Lin also officially belonged to the Derby County club.

In other words, Derby County used Nico Hertzig and a passer-by-level youth team striker in exchange for 1 million pounds and two players, Wang Xiaolei and Dailin.

This transaction can only be regarded as no loss.

Nico Hertzig's worth is more than that. The 1 million pounds is still a little less, but Wansheng thinks that Wilcox has reached some cooperation with Dalian Shide, otherwise there is nothing to talk about with that guy's businessman potential.

Of course, the most important thing for him is that he has an extra £1 million in transfer fees, which is enough for him to add another player. (To be continued ~^~)
