Chapter 438 Transfer Market⑤
Fang Jue suddenly became interested in the player Senderos.
Who is Senderos?
He is 24 years old this year. He is a talented defender selected by the professor. He is a Swiss international. He won the European Youth Championship at the age of 17. He has witnessed Arsenal's 49 unbeaten games. He is the successor of Arsenal's legendary captain Tony Adams' No. 6 jersey. , the backbone of the Gunners' defense in the post-Campbell era, Fabregas' big brother.
Many people said that he resembled Stam in all aspects, but it turned out that the only similarity between the two was the hairstyle.
These words sounded like jokes at first glance, but in fact, these are the facts.
At the age of 17, Senderos led the Swiss U17 team to win the U17 European Cup as the captain of the Swiss U17 team. Afterwards, all the giants offered him an olive branch. , Arsenal, longing for the "European champion" for a long time, signed the champion captain.
Two years later, the 19-year-old Senderos made his debut in England in the League Cup with Manchester City, and then he gradually got more opportunities, and gradually became the successor of Saul Campbell and Kolo Toure. A rotation player in Arsenal's backline.
To start the rotation at a club as big as Arsenal at the age of 19 is absolutely remarkable.
Senderos's future is bright, and it further lights up the skills of teaching talents.
Professor Wenger has a great say in the selection of young players. Especially during that time, the Arsenal team, which was affected by the construction of the new stadium, had to choose to take the youth storm route. At the same time, many young players also emerged. De Rose is one of the players with the most high hopes.
In the 2006/2007 season, Wenger appointed Senderos to take over the team's No. 6 jersey. The former owner of this jersey was Tony Adams, one of the greatest stars in Arsenal's history, and let him take over the legendary mantle. , From this point, it can be seen how deep the team's expectations are for him.
In fact, Senderos did not live up to everyone's expectations at the beginning. In the 2005/2006 season, he was one of the creators of the Gunners' 10 consecutive games in the Champions League without conceding a goal. Created a record of 1184 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal.
The 2006 World Cup in Germany was the brightest moment for Senderos. As the main central defender, the 21-year-old Senderos led his team to maintain a record of not conceding a goal in regular time (90 minutes) + extra time (30 minutes) in the World Cup. It is a pity that in the 1/8 finals they were eliminated by their opponents on penalty kicks. In the group match against the South Korean team, Senderos even scored with a header, helping the team secure the victory and overpowering the French team to take the first place in the group. However, this goal made him bloody on the battlefield. He missed the rest of the World Cup and the beginning of the Premier League season with a broken nose and a strained shoulder ligament. However, his iron and blood spirit is still talked about by everyone, which is quite different from the label of "not confident" that he is now labeled.
From a professional point of view, Senderos is tall and strong, with a round waist and long legs. He is a "good model" central defender, but his foundation is quite good.
When it comes to Senderos, Drogba has to be mentioned.
Drogba is the "blocker" on Senderos' growth path.
When Senderos started to be successful, it was the crazy moment when Drogba ravaged the Premier League. In this iron-blooded blue army built by Mourinho, relying on the precise guidance of wing breakthrough players such as Robben and Duff, He conquered the city for Chelsea and won the Premier League. At that time, the Premier League defenders blocked Drogba as proof of their strength.
Professor Wenger also expressed his support for this. Before the 2006/2007 League Cup final, he said: "Facing Drogba is a good challenge for Senderos, and Drogba is Senderos." It's a learning process and as long as Senderos gets better and better, he will become more and more experienced in dealing with strikers of Drogba's level."
Obviously, in the view of the professor, Senderos, who has high hopes, can take the successful challenge of Drogba as a way to improve his own strength.
It was this League Cup final that started a 'nightmare' for Senderos. At that time, Drogba was a real monster in the Premier League. It is understandable once. After this game, Drogba will show his crushing strength every time he meets Senderos, and Senderos either falls off the top or gets stuck and makes a mistake. At the same time, he is proud of his poor body. dominant. After that, Senderos made many mistakes, or to be precise, it was obvious that his confidence had seriously collapsed.
The media has also been saying that it was Drogba who completely shattered Senderos' confidence, which in turn made Adams' successor in the arsenal into such a miserable situation. No one wants to sell.
However, Fang Jue didn't see it that way. There were also some stunned young guards who were blown away. However, they didn't sink. Instead, they realized their shame and stood up bravely. It can only be said that spiritual attributes are really important. He decided Limit of one player. Senderos' technique and body make his lower limit not too bad, but his weak mental attributes make it difficult for him to break through himself and become the core of the new generation of Gunners' defense.
In Fang Jue's view, the professor is not good at cultivating defensive players, but the players he cultivates all have the same temperament-refined, chic, and artistic. For offensive players, this means that they have good skills and vision, and have their own pursuit of beautiful football. For defensive players, this kind of temperament is obviously out of place. The three words that defensive players need are fierce, confrontational and aggressive.
The more Fang Jue thinks about it, the more reliable he feels. Senderos has nothing to say about his physical fitness and talent. What he needs is to regain his self-confidence and become a real fighter.
He is good at this job. He can even deal with depression as severe as Deisler's. Senderos' situation is much better than that of Deisler at that time. At least Senderos did not think about retiring.
...
Aston Villa immediately replied to Arsenal, accepting their offer of 1 million pounds + Senderos'replacement' Zat Knight.
London, Arsenal Colney training base.
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger stared at the fax slip in his hand in a daze. He didn't expect Aston Villa to agree to their offer without any bargaining.
Or to be precise, Wenger didn't expect that Fang Jue would really want Senderos, and he also had the attitude of giving it a try, to see if he could get rid of Senderos.
Now, in this situation, as long as he nods, Senderos can be dealt with, Wenger hesitated again.
The Chinese coach of Aston Villa is also known for being good at training young people. He actually agreed to accept Senderos. What does this mean? It shows that he values Senderos and thinks he can save some time!
Wenger's heart moved, Fang felt that he could do, he also...
The professor himself shook his head. Senderos's talent is unquestionable. It was tested by Wenger's vision and then cultivated with all his heart. At one time, Wenger thought he had found Adams' successor. However, who would have thought of playing against Chelsea? , After being blown up by Drogba, Senderos was abolished.
Wenger believed that it was impossible for Fang Jue to know Senderos better than him. In order to help Senderos regain his confidence, the professor broke his heart. Arsenal even secretly asked a company to make a small football game. In the game, Facing Senderos, Drogba was terrified of being guarded and cried... But the result was useless. Senderos was grateful for the painstaking efforts of the professor, but he said with a mournful face: "That's fake, it's useless." .
Finally, the professor gritted his teeth: that's all, that's all, I agree.
In his opinion, it is almost impossible to save Senderos. Moreover, if Fang Jue is really too conceited and thinks that Senderos can be used, or even entrusted with reuse, the professor is happy to see it, anyway, he did not dig the hole on purpose , which you choose to accept.
In addition, deep down, if Senderos is really saved, the professor feels that he should be happy, after all, this is his beloved disciple, although he knows that this is impossible.
...
Both clubs have reached a consensus.
All that remains is to communicate with the players.
For being able to play for a giant like Arsenal, Zate Knight is naturally willing. He has self-knowledge. He can only play as a substitute at Arsenal. However, if he is willing, he has fulfilled his dream of being a giant in this life. .
As for Senderos, he has no choice. He has no place in Arsenal and can only choose to leave. As for Aston Villa or other teams, it doesn’t make much difference to him. , he just wants to escape now, to escape from Arsenal, not because he wants to betray Arsenal, he had an outstanding performance in Arsenal when he first debuted, and also had an unbearable performance, this kind of strong contrast made him feel uncomfortable, This is a psychological escape behavior.
On June 29, 2009, the Aston Villa Club announced that Arsenal's young Swiss defender Senderos officially joined Aston Villa. The two sides signed a four-year contract. Transfer to Arsenal.
At the same time, the Arsenal Club also announced that the team had acquired England defender Knight at a price of £1 million. Good luck accompanies you.
The "Sun" reported on this. The newspaper used a photo of Drogba abusing Senderos in the League Cup final with the headline "Escape" and even used the words "Primary school student who was beaten and cried". words...
