Chapter 215: Winter Signings (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

January 1, 2008, at noon.

The official website of the Ibiza club officially announced the team's three transactions during the winter transfer period.

First of all, the team's native Spanish striker Salva Digne Bedino officially transferred to Real Sociedad in La Liga for 4.5 million euros.

The worth of 4.5 million euros also makes Salvi Digne Bedino the player with the highest transfer fee ever transferred from the Ibiza club.

The media in Ibiza are also lamenting and praising Fang Jue, why should they praise Fang Jue? Before Fang Jue took over Ibiza in January last year, the club ranked first in the West Division B League. At that time, according to media statistics, the combined worth of all Ibiza players was only 910,300 euros. Now, one Years have passed, and a team like Bedino's substitute striker left in exchange for a "sky-high" transfer fee of 4.5 million euros!

After the announcement of Bedino's transfer and departure, Ibiza's official website also published an announcement, officially announcing that Real Sociedad's 24-year-old Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo officially joined Ibiza with a worth of 1.5 million euros The club, the two parties signed a five-year contract.

Behind these two announcements, there is another announcement. The Ibiza club announced that it will loan Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to Real Sociedad for half a season at a price of 200,000 euros.

Bravo was leased back to Real Sociedad, which was an unexpected situation. Just when the two sides had reached an agreement on Bravo's transfer, Real Sociedad's No. 1 goalkeeper Acier Lesgau was injured in training. Will be away from the stadium for two months, which makes Real Sociedad very uncomfortable. They want to keep Bravo again, but Ibiza insists on adding Bravo to Bedino's transfer deal. And Real Sociedad coach Chris Coleman is very eager to get Bedino, and finally Fang Jue said, yes, Bravo will transfer to Ibiza, and then sublet it to you for half a season.

In this way, Bedino went to Real Sociedad, and Bravo continued to stay at Real Sociedad for half a season. Ibiza temporarily pocketed 3.2 million euros first.

In the afternoon of this day, the team had their first joint practice after the Christmas holiday, and Fang Jue was furious.

"Look at you guys. In one week, you have gained an average of 1.38 kilograms." Fang Jue's face was livid, "I just eat and eat all the time during a holiday, eh?!"

The players who were scolded all over their faces did not dare to say a word. Captain Deisler, who became very active after he recovered from his illness, kept silent even more. During the eight-day holiday, Deisler gained 2.01 kilograms. I think the coach looks at him like a fat pig about to be slaughtered.

Originally planned to conduct simple confrontation exercises that afternoon, Fang Jue gave up the plan directly, waved his hand, everyone: physical training! Enhanced version!

"It was fun during the holidays, right? Now, how happy the holidays are, I will make you even more happy today!" Fang Jue consulted Dr. Osoralana, a physical fitness consultant, and the other party gave an affirmative answer. Such intensive training No problem.

Then, amidst the mourning, the first day of training after Ibiza's winter break began.

"You bastards, it's impossible to gain two kilograms a week by raising pigs!" Fang Jue said angrily.

"To be exact, it is 1.38 kilograms." Ceballos suppressed a smile and said, "The team's performance is good, everyone is more relaxed."

"This is not a good sign." Fang Jue didn't smile. "Give me a tough drill on these guys, tell them that half of the season is not over, and the schedule is still long. Laugh now, and be careful not to cry when the season is over."

"I know!" Seeing Fang Jue's serious expression, Ceballos immediately paid attention to it. He couldn't help but sigh, he really can only be an assistant, and he didn't think too much about such a small matter. But being able to see the subtleties and be vigilant, this is the gap.

What kind of pride and complacency eventually led to capsize in the gutter, Fang Jue would never allow it to appear in his team.

Before he himself floats up proudly, these guys can't even think about floating up first.

Whoever is proud and relaxes the requirements on himself, I'm sorry, Fang Jue will let him face the wall and think about his mistakes on the bench.

The vigilant little leather whip, Fang Jue will always hold it in his hand.

...

Bedino moved to Real Sociedad. In this case, Ibiza's current striker has only three forwards, Lewandowski, Aubameyang, and Fareko.

Obviously, the configuration of the three forwards is not reassuring. If any player is injured or his state fluctuates, Fang Jue's troops will be stretched.

Fang Jue's goal is locked on Villarreal's 31-year-old Danish veteran Jon Dahl Thomassen. This Danish veteran who once played for the Serie A giants AC Milan received 1 million euros from Stuttgart in the Bundesliga last summer. Worth joining 'Yellow Submarine' Villarreal.

Half a season has passed, and Thomason has only won 13 appearances in Villarreal, including eight appearances in La Liga, only two starts, and a total of two goals. It is reported that Billy Arreal was very disappointed with the performance of the Dane and planned to let Thomasson leave freely after the end of the season.

This is an experienced veteran. Although his current strength has declined more than when he was in AC Milan, it is still possible to play a qualified substitute role in Ibiza. Moreover, among the current forwards in Ibiza, he is really good. There is no such 'opportunistic shooter' type of striker. During his time playing for the giants in Serie A, Thomasson's performance impressed Fang Jue as a fan. Foot touch, good header ability, superb shooting skills, good at running off the ball, good shooting skills, and very thoughtful, of course, as an 'opportunistic shooter' Thomason is not good at dribbling and Long shot.

An "opportunistic shooter" can enrich Ibiza's offensive routines.

Fang Jue, Ms. Papa and Ms. Roberta analyzed and discussed that if they buy Thomason from Villarreal in winter, the offer of 500,000 euros is enough to satisfy Villarreal.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ibiza contacted the Villarreal club and asked about the possibility of Thomasson's transfer.

The morning after a day.

Fang Jue thought that Villarreal would be very happy with Ibiza's purchase, but the yellow submarine refused directly. They said that Thomason was not for sale of Villarreal and was very important to the team. a member of

Mom sells batches!

Fang Jue swears directly, a 31-year-old veteran, if you really treat him as a baby, if you really treat him as a baby, then he has nothing to say, the problem is, Fang Jue didn't even notice Villa How much Real value the Danish veteran.

Fang Jue also suspected that Villarreal was a means of bargaining, but he himself quickly vetoed this guess. Now Thomasson's worth is only less than one million euros, and there is no room for hype at all. Obviously, Villarreal just don't want to sell Thomason. They don't plan to earn such a petty transfer fee from Thomas. They plan to keep this veteran on the bench in case a certain game plays a miraculous effect What?

The current team has Lewandowski and Aubameyang. Fang Jue is well aware of the talents and potential of these two players. Fareko is also working hard now. With these three players, Fang Jue just wanted to introduce a striker substitute in the transfer market. However, the fact is that the winter transfer window is not a good time to sign up, and many players would not choose Those who transfer in the winter, because there is no pre-season training and running-in, there is no time to adapt at all. It is equivalent to joining a team directly and playing a game. This will put the players under great pressure, and it is also equivalent to their own career. risky move.

Therefore, there are few players to choose from in the winter transfer window, and Fang Jue is not looking to buy the main force, but to introduce a substitute, which is even more difficult. Those who want to find another way out in the winter transfer window are all If you are unsatisfactory in your old club, you don’t pay attention to it, and you can’t play in the game. There is absolutely no possibility of leaving your old club but joining a team and continuing to sit on the bench because you are not satisfied with being a cold bench.

...

Thomason's transfer negotiation was directly rejected by Villarreal before it even started, which made Fang Jue very upset.

However, Ibiza's transfer negotiations with Villarreal to buy 20-year-old Uruguayan central defender Martin Caceres are progressing smoothly.

More than a month ago, the two sides started contact and negotiation.

A problem that has been bothering the negotiating parties before is that Caceres, who was loaned by Villarreal in Huelva, still wants to stay in Huelva to fight in La Liga and complete the loan contract. With a suggestion from my clever little brain, I got a perfect solution.

Then there is the transfer fee negotiation of Martin Caceres.

In the end, after bargaining, Villarreal agreed to Ibiza's offer of 3 million euros for Uruguayan defender Martin Caceres.

In last year's winter break, Villarreal introduced Caceres from Uruguay's domestic Montevideo defender Athletic Club for 1 million euros, and then did not play in Villarreal for half a season. He has been loaned to Huelva for half a season. For a 20-year-old central defender who has not had a chance to play in Villarreal, he can make a net profit of 2 million euros. Liarreal is still very satisfied.

On January 3, 2008, the Ibiza Club officially announced that the stadium had obtained a 20-year-old Uruguayan young central defender Martin Caceres from Villarreal for a transfer fee of 3 million euros. The two parties signed a five-year contract .

After the announcement announcing the joining of Caceres, there was another announcement. The Ibiza club announced that the Uruguayan central defender Martin Caceres would be loaned to the La Liga team Huelva for half a season for free. Well, Ibiza Sa gave Cáceres to Huelva on loan for free. This is why Huelva agreed to Villarreal to take back Cáceres in advance and then sell it to Ibiza. There is no advantage, who is willing to help?

The fans of Ibiza were surprised to find that after the winter window opened, the team sent away Bedino and brought in two players, but these two players were rented out again. , Bedino left, Ibiza harvested 200,000 euros, and also acquired the ownership of Martin Caceres and Claudio Bravo, while Huelva and Real Sociedad received half a season of the player right to use.

...

On January 3rd, the fourth round of the 2007/2008 Spanish Copa del Rey, the second round of the game, Ibiza expedition to Huelva.

Huelva is located in the west of the autonomous region of Andalusia. It is in the southwest of Spain and borders Portugal. Ibiza is an archipelago in the eastern waters of Spain. Therefore, this road trip is very important for Ibiza. For Sa, it can be described as an 'expedition'.

Of course, compared to Ibiza’s visit to Sporting Gijon in the 8th round of La Liga, it’s already considered a small one. Gijon is located in the northwest of Spain, and Ibiza is in the southeast of Spain. This is almost a diagonal line. Ibiza played a one-on-one away game against Sporting Gijon at that time. In addition to the strength of the opponent, the reasons for the exhaustion and exhaustion of the team also played an important role.

Of course, the players are also complaining about this.

Regarding this, Fang Jue smiled and said nothing. The land area of ​​Spain is only 505,900 square kilometers. For example, if there is a direct flight, take a flight from Taipei, the capital of Taiwan Province, to Urumqi, and you will doubt your life if you can take a flight.

Of course, Spain has overseas territories. If you count this, it will be more painful. For example, from Celta in Vigo, northern Spain, to the home stadium of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, They need to cross a distance of 2,228 kilometers, leaving the Spanish mainland, crossing Morocco, and reaching the west of Algeria. It feels like playing the UEFA Cup.

Another team in the Canary Islands, Tenerife, once complained that they suspected that they had been unable to upgrade because of the unspoken rules: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, and Atletico Madrid, who had European missions, disliked their distance and could not stand this kind of competition. Toss consumption.

And Las Palmas once complained that they struggled to advance to La Liga, and then they would definitely be relegated, because the whole league wanted them to go back to La Liga.

Well, now, Las Palmas and Tenerife are both in La Liga. In fact, many colleagues in La Liga want these two guys to get out of here quickly, either to be promoted to La Liga, or to be relegated to La Liga B, or, It's better to be... bankrupt belch.

Ibiza made an expedition to Huelva, and finally with the goal of the former No. 4 Crown Prince of La Masia Mark Corosas, Ibiza drew away. "I didn't want to win the game at all, I just wanted to escape from the king quickly." In the end, Ibiza eliminated Huelva, who was struggling to relegation in La Liga, four to one in two rounds, and reached the top sixteen of the 2007/2008 Copa del Rey.

Their opponent in the last sixteen of the Copa del Rey is a very, very powerful La Liga powerhouse from the Catalonia region-the Spaniard!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Spaniards are powerful in La Liga, nor is it a sarcasm. At present, the 2007/2008 La Liga season has 17 rounds. The leader of the league is Real Madrid with 41 points. The second place in the league is Barcelona. With 34 points, the third place in the league is the Espanyol with 33 points, and behind the Espanyol are Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, Racing Santander, Valencia, Sevilla, etc. .

...

After returning to Ibiza from Huelva, Fang Jue received a notice from the club: a meeting!

When Fang Jue finished the work at hand and rushed to the meeting room, he saw that everyone was already waiting for him.

Li Zihua, vice chairman of the club, presided over the meeting. The general manager of the club, Ms. Papa, and the sports director, Ms. Roberta, attended the meeting.

Fang Jue was amazed, seeing the situation, it was not a small matter.
