Chapter 57 Poaching and Digging Into Laozi's Head!
A day has passed since the match with Deportivo, the impact of the game continues, and many media are still reporting Atletico Madrid's loss of points.
It's not that the media have high expectations for Atlético de Madrid. Atlético de Madrid shouldn't drop points or something. It's just that the competition between Atlético de Madrid and Rona is too fierce, and almost all the Spanish media are very concerned about it.
The biggest news in Spanish football right now is the battle for the top spot in the league.
Atletico Madrid only drew one game and was surpassed by Barcelona with goal difference. The media supporting Atletico Madrid must be very unconvinced. They also hope that the team can perform well and show the momentum that can win the league championship.
But Atletico Madrid was squeezed out of the league's first throne!
With Barcelona's recent frenzied performance, the media supporting Atletico Madrid can't even see hope that Atletico Madrid can catch up again.
So they looked for various reasons to explain the reason why Atletico Madrid lost points, and the mistake of the teenager Isco naturally became a 'major' reason.
Those neutral media mostly followed suit, and it was obvious that Isco's mistakes led to a draw, so they also made comments and attributed the loss of points to Isco.
Of course, there are also hostile media!
On the Spanish map, Atletico Madrid does not have as many enemies as Real Madrid, because in the past ten years, Atletico Madrid has been very weak, and a weak team will not have too many enemies.
However, when Atletico Madrid showed enough strength to threaten Barcelona, the enemy appeared one by one.
By region, the first is the Catalan media.
Catalonia and the capital Madrid are a feud. This is not only the opposite of football. In the final analysis, it is a political-political reason for a century. Before the Catalan media was most hostile to Real Madrid, now Atletico Madrid is emerging , also beat Barcelona 5-1, so they began to 'suppress' Atletico Madrid.
In other parts of Spain, such as Valencia, Sevilla and other places, the relationship between the media and the capital is not good, and they will not support the Madrid team.
In the capital city of Madrid, the hostile Atlético de Madrid is the media headed by "Marca", and these media support the sworn enemy Real Madrid.
Counting down, there are quite a few hostile media at Atletico Madrid.
These hostile media are gloating when they see Atletico Madrid drop points. They find various reasons to ridicule Atletico Madrid, and Isco is one of the reasons, just like the satirical report of "Sports World", "...that Chinese also It's not omnipotent, and he will also look wrong. It is said that before Isco went to Madrid, the Chinese went directly to Valencia. If he knew it would be like this, would he still insist on fighting with Malaga? …”
"Perhaps 3.5 million euros is nothing for 'rich' Atlético de Madrid..."
Naturally, these sarcastic words will not affect Wansheng, but they are enough to affect Isco.
The overwhelming criticism from the outside world made Isco almost collapse. He was under enormous pressure and seemed very unmotivated during training. Although a few teammates came to comfort him and told him not to take it to heart, he faced so many How could he not care about the accusation.
It's not over yet.
After a day of training, Isco got even more desperate news - coach Wan Sheng called him to the office alone.
OMG!
Why is this!
What does the head coach call himself to do? Is it to criticize yourself, feel that your strength cannot keep up with the first team, and let yourself go to the youth team?
Or... the winter transfer window is about to open, are you ready to let yourself go?
Isco became very nervous.
"It's okay, Isco, don't worry!" Ozil kindly reminded him before leaving, "Being called by the boss is usually a matter of training. You didn't make any mistakes."
Ozil's words gave Isco a little comfort, but thinking about facing the head coach alone, Isco still felt his heart pounding, almost jumping out of his throat.
He is so nervous!
————
in the head coach's office.
The printer kept beeping, and Wansheng was printing out a training content. When he heard a knock on the door, Wansheng only said, "Come in," without even raising his head.
Isco walked in and stood at the table nervously.
Wan Sheng continued to pay attention to the documents in the computer, continued to click the print button one by one, and then raised his head to look over.
Isco almost jumped up in fright.
Wan Sheng frowned, and Isco calmed down, but he still didn't dare to look up, like a child who did something wrong.
Wan Sheng smiled and joked, "Relax, I'm not a tiger."
Isco reluctantly raised his head and reluctantly 'peeked' a glance, suddenly thinking that he might be calmer in the face of tigers.
"Isco, don't pay attention to what the newspapers say." Wan Sheng said comfortingly, "Those media are talking nonsense all day long. They do reports not for practical reasons, but for sales, so don't care about them."
"I remember that when I first became the head coach, I hadn't even led the team to a game. There were all kinds of criticism and doubts about me. It was nothing. When I led the team to a good result, they changed. content."
"Let's put it bluntly, the media is just grass, and it will fall where the wind blows."
Isco nodded reluctantly.
Wan Sheng continued, "Remember a while ago? Mesut's performance was average, yes, yes, average, his performance was not bad, and he scored goals, but not many, but those media kept saying His bad words, but what about that? When Mesut does well, they say 'he deserves 42 million euros'! So don't care what they say."
Isco nodded seriously and said, "Boss, I see."
"That's good." Wan Sheng said, "You're only 18 years old, you haven't experienced this yet, you'll get used to it after more experience. We don't blame you for dropping points, but the overall performance is not good. If it's like the previous games, You can score two, three, or more goals, even if you make a mistake, it's okay, you're just unlucky."
"The important thing is that I believe you are a genius, do you understand?"
"what?"
Isco was a little unprepared. He didn't expect the coach to praise him, so he raised his head and listened.
"If you are not a genius, I will not give you so many chances to play. Look at Kirk, he is in a similar position to you, but I only let him play occasionally. Besides Wang, Wang, you know? I believe Wang is also a genius. , but he is still too young, younger than you, such a young player, even if he has strength, it is difficult to play, so in the midfield, I am most looking forward to you..."
Isco was a little excited.
The two were talking, the printer had stopped working, Wan Sheng stood up and picked up a stack of printed pages, clipped it with a clip, handed it to Isco, and said, "Well, this is your next month. training program.”
Isco was a little stunned when he took the document, and immediately remembered what Ozil said just now, "The coach asked you to come alone, usually for training."
I see!
"There is a lot of training here, all of which are personal training content. You must complete all the training in the next month, understand?" Wan Sheng became more serious, "Within a month, I will not I'll give you another chance to play, but after these workouts, I'll increase your playing time..."
After Wan Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Isco.
Isco didn't react for a while. When he heard 'I won't give you time to play', there was a bang in his head, but at the next turning point, he immediately slowed down and affirmed, "Okay, boss. ,I see."
"That's good."
Wan Sheng waved his hand after speaking, "Go, today's training is over."
"Okay… okay, see you tomorrow…"
Isco left in a daze, his mind was blurry, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
When he returned to the place where he lived, Isco and his father Comino talked about today's events.
Comino first comforted his son, and when he heard that Isco said that the coach would not let him play for a month, and then said that he would give more time after training, Comino immediately reacted, "You are really stupid!"
"what?"
"It's winter break in half a month!"
"yes?"
"Wansheng said that he will not give you playing time for a month. In fact, there are no two games at Atletico Madrid this month. What are you worried about? Wansheng is trying to reuse you!"
"Is that so?"
"Of course! Good son, otherwise he wouldn't say that! So you have to do all the training in the next month, yes, you have to train for Christmas and also during the winter break. I don't care if you like it or not. , I'll be watching you!"
Comino's words were very harsh, and Isco was a little confused.
At this time, Isco knew what the coach meant... The next two weeks will be the winter break, and the coach will let him practice during the winter break. If he can complete the training content, then he will have more playing time in the future, and he can't complete it... Of course, don't think too much about the result, or he will lose trust, and the next month will be extremely important to him.
Isco has begun to imagine how hard it will be for him next.
But for the dream, everything is worth it.

As Christmas approaches, Spain and Europe are flooded with big news of all kinds of transfers.
"Real Madrid wants Javier Hernandez for 25 million Garasana Diarra!"
"Real Madrid 41 million plus Benzema to buy Bell!"
The English media released two outrageous satellites in two days, and on December 19, the third satellite ascended into the sky, "Barcelona will spend 100 million euros to buy Torres and Cesc Fabregas next summer! "
"Daily Mail" started "creation" again.
The level of falsehood of this news is truly breathtaking, because Barcelona can't come up with so much money at all, despite the red and blue army and the Qatar Foundation signed the largest shirt sponsorship contract in the history of professional football, but the club is still in the in a severe economic crisis.
Roselle held a high-level summit with Guardiola and Begilistan not long ago. The chairman made it clear that the transfer fee for Barcelona next summer is capped at 65 million euros, of which 15 million euros are still spent this season.
If Guardiola needs more transfer fees, it can only rely on selling players. There are currently 19 players in the Barcelona first team. Except for Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Pique and others, there is no one who can sell 35 million euros.
"News of the World" analysis said, "Torres and Cesc Fabregas are no longer necessary for Barcelona." But undoubtedly, in Guardiola's plan, Cesc Fabregas is still an important signing for Barcelona Target.
But Barcelona also broke the news that there were some internal contract renewal problems.
Like Alves.
Barcelona's biggest question is the future of Alves. The Red and Blue Army will provide Alves with an annual salary of 6 million euros after tax.
Note, it is after tax!
In the past year, the salary increase of professional football players in Europe has been amazing. Klose’s annual salary after tax is only nearly 4 million euros. Aguero has just renewed his contract with the club in the summer, and his annual salary after tax is only 5 million euros. Around, Morris is the team's highest-paid player, with an annual salary of only 5.8 million euros after tax.
Alves... 6 million euros after tax!
Of course, Alves' salary is actually related to some commercial advertisements in Barcelona. It is not a simple professional salary contract, but even if many factors are thrown, the pure professional after-tax annual salary raised by Barcelona for Alves, And no better than Aguerodia.
But even so, Alves was not satisfied, because Manchester City wanted to introduce Alves and offered him an annual salary of 8 million euros after tax, so the Brazilian threatened Russell with an offer of 8 million euros from Manchester City, "My The first choice is to stay in Barcelona, but I will defend my power to the death. If I don't stay, I will not regret it."
Alves warned.
Seeing this news, Wansheng was a little worried about whether he would choose to change jobs after his players performed well, because the salary gap between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is still relatively large.
So Wansheng hurriedly looked over the contracts of each player carefully.
He finds a player's contract problem.
Aguero!
Aguero's salary is definitely a lot, but the penalty on his contract is only 55 million euros. Compared with his worth, 55 million euros is already a lot, but if Aguero is in the next one or two seasons, Aguero Become the leading scorer of Atlético de Madrid, and Atlético de Madrid has achieved very good results. This penalty is a little less, and regardless of the current international superstars, the transfer fee of 50 to 60 million at every turn?
So Wansheng began to consider giving Aguero an appropriate salary increase, and then re-sign a professional contract?
This is best done in summer.
Aguero just completed his contract extension half a year ago, and it is not a good choice to renew his contract now.
At this time, a piece of news made Wansheng furious--"Marca" revealed that Mourinho publicly praised Raul Garcia, and Real Madrid intends to start the transfer of Raul Garcia with Atletico Madrid in the winter. will negotiate.
MD, poaching and digging up Laozi's head! (To be continued ~^~)
