Chapter 157 Striker Choice

Thiago Silva is not as famous as Pepe, but he is also the main defender of AC Milan, and his worth is as high as 30 million euros.

With such a heavyweight player joining, is it still possible for Atletico Madrid to introduce Pepe?

Some media have raised questions.

In fact, the same is true. It seems that Thiago Silva and Pepe do not conflict, but Atletico Madrid may have another Godin, Godin is no worse than any of them, plus the other players in the back line, if With both Pepe and Thiago Silva joining in, Atlético de Madrid's defensive midfielders have piled up a bit.

So many media speculated that Pepe is likely to stay in Real Madrid.

Wan Sheng nodded his head when he saw these reports. I have to say that the media still have a lot of ability. They can analyze so many things from the transfer of a player. It is really unimaginable, but no matter how they analyze it. , and it is difficult to influence the team's choice.

After Thiago Silva was confirmed to join, the team's defense has stabilized.

Wansheng has also begun to consider adding some tactical players.

As analyzed by "Aspen", Atletico Madrid now has five players confirmed to join, among them Kevin De Bruyne and J-Rodriguez are midfielders, Jerome Boateng, Thiago Yago Silva and Juan Forlan are both defenders. They have made up for the lack of midfield and backcourt in the team's lineup. the striker position.

"Aguero is gone, Forlan is gone, Reyes is gone, the two main strikers and a winger have all gone, but Atletico have not added anyone. If Atletico's transfer ends like this If so, they will have to worry about scoring goals in the new season..."

The media's analysis may have some truth, but in fact Wansheng has never worried about scoring goals.

Diego Costa's ability in front of goal is good. Last season, his performance was not much worse than Aguero's. The scoring efficiency can still be guaranteed. Wang Qiuming has gradually grown up, and Klose who has played steadily , the team's strike line is actually not a big problem. More importantly, the current 'B-TF' tactical system used by the team does not rely so much on the strike line. Aguero and Forlan leave, and Kendi has an impact on the scoring efficiency. , but the impact will not be that big.

Nevertheless, strengthening the striker is also a must.

Wansheng was considering using Neymar to replace Aguero's departure, but Neymar is too famous and there are many competing clubs. In the competition with Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid has no advantage.

This may have something to do with the fame of the two clubs in South America.

Many Brazilian players know that Barcelona is a top international club, but very few know about Atletico Madrid. When it comes to Atletico Madrid, some Brazilian players even ask, "Is it Real Madrid?"

That's embarrassing.

So in Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Neymar himself is definitely more inclined to join Barcelona.

In addition, the ownership of Neymar is also a problem. In fact, this also makes Barcelona worry. Neymar does not completely belong to the Santos club. He has half of the ownership and is in the hands of the brokerage company. To get Neymar, you have to talk not only with Santos but also with his agent.

It can be said that Atletico Madrid wants to get Neymar.

Therefore, Wansheng simply asked the club to stop the operation of Neymar's transfer. In his opinion, it is impractical for Neymar to leave Brazil in the summer, and Barcelona can't even get him directly.

Neymar cannot come, and a strong striker must be brought in.

At first, Wansheng considered the introduction of an ordinary striker. Only some efficiency is enough. As a substitute for Diego Costa, it is just right. In the new season, the striker will rely more on Wang Qiuming, and Klose's complement is also good. enough.

After Kevin De Bruyne confirmed the arrival of the transfer, Wansheng changed his mind after thinking about it.

Kevin De Bruyne is very good at passing the ball. The team also has Ozil, Isco, and J-Rodriguez who has just been transferred. The team's midfield ability to deliver cannonballs is very strong.

The 'B-TF' tactical system is also very complicated. It is very difficult for a striker with ordinary strength to enter the team to adapt to the tactics and rhythm of the team, let alone to have a good performance in front of the goal.

There is a saying in professional football, "A star can only cooperate with a star."

This is not to discriminate against ordinary players, but a very real problem. Just like C-Ronaldo, when he returned to the Portuguese national team, it was always difficult to cooperate with his teammates. According to his thoughts, he passed amazing and exquisite passes, but his teammates' thinking couldn't keep up, and they didn't run at all, and the delicate pass turned into a wrong pass. (The above analysis is just a personal opinion, if you don’t like it, don’t spray it.)

So if you want to introduce a player who can increase the ability of the striker, it must not be an ordinary player.

Next season, Atletico Madrid will participate in the Champions League, and must also ensure that each front has strong players.

From entering the football coaching industry to the present, Wansheng is more inclined to buy those practical or young players in terms of transfer operations. He always feels that it is a loss to buy big stars, even if he leads Manchester City to the top of Europe, He also just bought a Torres, but to let Atletico Madrid hit the giants, this transfer strategy alone is definitely not enough.

In terms of professional football transfers, the giants have the practice of the giants, and the small clubs have the practice of small clubs, just like the strategy of Real Madrid President Florentino's 'one star a year' strategy. To say that Real Madrid buys stars, it costs A large transfer fee, but the team's performance has not been able to improve. Many of these stars, such as Michael Owen, have not been able to play at all during their time at Real Madrid. Real Madrid seems to have been making losses.

But from a commercial point of view, Real Madrid's revenue is increasing every year, and now Real Madrid's net income per season exceeds 100 million euros.

This is commercial operation.

Real Madrid invests a lot in the transfer market every year, and they also have a better ability to make money than spending money. In terms of introducing superstars, Real Madrid is undoubtedly very successful.

Therefore, if you want to develop the club, it is also necessary to buy players appropriately.

Stars have strength and appeal, which will make the club more powerful and make the club more famous. These are not owned by ordinary players.

Wansheng made a plan.

He has his sights set on the final stars that are highly sought after.

Now the European transfer market, the most touted striker, there are three players - Eto'o, Juan - Mata and Falcao.

Eto'o is one of the most sought after stars. The Cameroonian striker is not worth much, but the salary is not affordable for ordinary clubs. It is said that the Russian Super League Anzhi Makhachkala Club is preparing to network this striker killer. Eto'o fired 20.5 million euros 'world first' annual salary.

As a 30-year-old player, Eto'o has reached the age of "sucking money". The Russian league lacks attractiveness, but for Eto'o, who has won many honors, there is no doubt that money is more attractive.

Wansheng just glanced at Eto'o's recent transfer news, and directly chose to give up, because it is impossible for Atletico Madrid to offer a player an annual salary of more than 10 million euros, no matter how famous the player is.

Juan Mata, who plays for Valencia, is also highly sought after, and Valencia is ready to sell Mata in exchange for funds.

This is Valencia's 'transfer routine'.

Valencia's transfer strategy is the exact opposite of that of Real Madrid. Real Madrid has a strategy of one superstar every year, while Valencia has a strategy of 'selling a superstar every year'. Of course, that's just what the media laughed at, but the facts are similar. Last season , Valencia sold the core striker Villa to Barcelona, ​​and this season they plan to sell Juan Mata.

This may also be the tragedy of the other 18 teams in La Liga except the "Western Super League". They must rely on selling stars in exchange for the survival and development of the club.

This summer, La Liga has changed. Atlético de Madrid, which has received Chinese capital, has left the "small club" group, and they do not need to rely on selling stars to survive.

The other team is Malaga.

Last summer, the Malaga club came out with news that Abdullah Alsani, a member of the Qatari royal family, acquired a stake in Malaga and became the team chairman, but still maintained the leadership team of the past team and hired the previous chairman. Sanz serves as a consultant to the team. After taking office, he brought Porto's famous coach Gesuado Ferreira to Andalusia.

After Ferreira was sacked in November last year, he quickly hired former Real Madrid coach Pellegrini as the team's new coach.

With the support of the Qatari royal consortium, Malaga has enough confidence, and they have become an emerging force in La Liga - Toularang 11 million, Cazorla 21 million, just two signings cost 33 million euros, As of now, Malaga has not received even a penny in the cleaning staff.

The analysis of "Marca" believes that "Malaga is likely to become the money-burning king of La Liga this summer."

But in any case, Valencia did not receive capital injection. They must continue their previous transfer strategy to keep the club alive, so they must sell Juan Mata to cash out.

The Spanish international has had scandals with Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. Chelsea are the most keen on Mata because they lack an attacking core.

Wan Sheng read Mata's information, and after a little thought, decided to let the club take action.

The last player to be the focus of European transfers is Romedal Falcao for Porto. (To be continued ~^~)
