Volume 5 Chapter 26

It doesn't matter to Simão, he is close to the end of his career, and he has gradually become Mata's substitute this season, and he has no complaints, but for Reyes, who is in his prime, life is a bit difficult.

For this talented young man who used to play football on a motorcycle, he has gone around in circles over the years, including Arsenal, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid. He has never gained a firm foothold in one place.

He wants playing time. He is only 27 years old. In the first half of the season, his playing time was even similar to that of the 19-year-old Koke, so he is going to talk to Ancelotti during the winter transfer period. Still, he has decided to seek a transfer or loan.

And taking advantage of the winter break, Ancelotti is also trying his best to make up the lineup. The back line and goalkeeper are fine. The most important thing is the midfield. The biggest problem is weakness.

Take the midfielder as an example. The double defensive midfielders Gabi and Martinez are the main players. Camacho and Mario, who came from the youth training of Atletico Madrid, are the substitutes. The road has also become a problem after Mata's injury.

Although Ancelotti's tactics do not have positive wingers, apart from Raul Garcia, that is, Simao and Reyes, there is also a young player who has just turned 19, Cork.

In the multi-line battle, Atletico Madrid's difficulty was exposed. Otherwise, how could the Europa League be inferior to Leverkusen and get the second place in the group?

But when Reyes arrived at Ancelotti's office to explain his intentions, Ancelotti shook his head directly, "Jose, your condition is not up to my main force requirements, if you can't accept the status of a substitute, I Can allow you to rent or transfer during the winter break”

Although he had this plan, when he really heard the head coach say that, he still felt disheartened, and sang "Xue Hua Piao Piao" in the bgm.

Just after New Year's Day, this news ruined all his New Year's feelings.

When you become a small person in this cruel competitive field, don't have too much expectation, you can still have stable opportunities in the giants.

The current Atletico Madrid is peaceful on the surface, but the internal competition is actually extremely fierce, especially for those who are in their prime but cannot become the main force of the iron.

Everyone knows that the club can lack everything now, except money.

And they also have a top superstar who talks about competing for the championship every day. Although he didn't say it clearly, it is clear that this is a survival of the fittest. Those who can't keep up with him will leave sooner or later.

Reyes, who gave up completely, no longer had any illusions. Within two days, he went directly to Sevilla on loan and signed the transfer clause of a permanent buyout in the summer. It can be regarded as returning to the place where his dream began.

Now that one is gone, you have to buy another one, and you have to find a substitute for Mark Qin. In the first half of the season, Atletico Madrid's tactics were more like an asymmetrical 433, relying on Mata on the left and Laurga on the right. West Asia edge.

But to be honest, the effect is not as good as Ancelotti expected. First of all, Raul Garcia on the right and full-back Juanfran are both defensive than offensive types, and there is little creativity in offense.

On the other hand, Felipe and Mata played very well on the left, especially Felipe made him shine. This Brazilian left-back has a body, speed, and good skills at his feet. He can defend and is good at putting in assists.

On the premise of having a double midfielder, Ancelotti intends to develop him further.

In addition, Martinez in the middle is a pure defensive midfielder with strong defensive ability. Gabi also plans to let him transform to b2b, because Mark Qin's position is very flexible, and someone must cooperate with him at any time.

"Boss, you are looking for me." While Ancelotti was studying the lineup, Mark Qin knocked on the door and walked in. He had just returned from Liverpool and the second half of the season was about to start.

"Mark, sit down." Ancelotti pointed to the sofa and said directly without getting up, "Reyes is gone, and Mata will have to wait for the summer to return. We have a heavy task in the second half of the season..."

"Ok",

Ma Keqin nodded in agreement. Regarding signings, Nasser gave Ancelotti enough rights to directly make a decision under 30 million, as long as the total amount is controlled.

"I know about Reyes. Leaving is also a good choice for him," Mark Qin said, "We really need to introduce the winger. Your plan is..."

Don't be surprised why Fatty An consulted Mark Qin. In this team, he may not be able to decide who to leave, but who to come, at least make sure that Mark Qin has no opinion on him. If Mark Qin doesn't like this person, bring him in. Isn't it a big trouble.

Mark Qin took the information handed over by Ancelotti and listened to him while looking at it: "We initially screened three options, the Frenchman Payet from Saint-Etienne, and the Brazilian Cayoubi from Duisburg. , and Nolito of the Barcelona b team, who do you think is more suitable, and you have to find a substitute for you, the scout recommended the Spaniard Cazorla to me."

Ma Keqin lowered his head and pondered for a while after reading the information, and said directly: "Cazorla is very good. I am very happy if he can join. As for the winger, I recommend a candidate."

"Huh?" Ancelotti was a little surprised, "Who?"

"The Chilean Sanchez of Udinese"

"He, he has really performed well in Serie A in the past two seasons"

...

Throughout January, there was no European game, but Atletico Madrid's schedule is not easy, with 5 league games and the re-started Copa del Rey. If it goes well, they will play up to 6 games in the Copa del Rey this month.

Due to the existence of the winter break, January has always been the intensive month of the Copa del Rey, because in February, he had to make way for the European war, so when he just came back, what greeted him was a small hell schedule.

On average, there is one game every three days, the time is spinning, and they can't take care of anything. After the game, they rush to the next game. It's a bit like the trapeze of the NBA, but they take the bus.

In the league, it was difficult to get 3 wins and 1 tie, and it came to the second half of the year. The reason why it was difficult was because Barcelona was too strong. They won 4 consecutive victories with a few big scores, and they also pulled away Real Madrid, which also had 3 wins and 1 tie. 3 points.

And what made Ma Keqin most uncomfortable and resigned to his fate was that they did not enter the semi-finals of the King's Cup. In the quarter-finals, they had just been eliminated by Barcelona.

This early encounter between the two heroes can be said to be the most eye-catching round in Spain in January, and there are too many stories. Mark Qin and Guardiola met for the first time in La Liga. Messi once again regretted losing the golden ball. wait.

As a result, Atletico Madrid relied on Mark Qin's free kick to win 1:0 at home, but this time Barcelona reversed 3:1 in the away game and was eliminated from the Copa del Rey. Messi finally had the last laugh.

At that time, Guardiola was a little carried away with excitement on the sidelines. No matter how good his personal relationship was, he didn't want to become Mark Qin's stepping stone again.

"This January is a bit difficult for us," Mark Qin accepted an interview on the official website of Atletico Madrid after returning from the training ground. "Our lineup depth is still not comparable to that of Barcelona and Real Madrid. It is a pity that we were overturned by Barcelona in the away game. Yeah, it doesn't feel good to lose, but we need to move on"

"Marca": Obviously Mark is a bit tired. In more than 20 days in January, he played 8 games in a row, 4 league games and 4 Copa del Rey games. Now Atletico Madrid is a little bit dependent on Mark, and the away game was reversed by Barcelona , It also makes their signing work imminent.

"Aspen": Attacker, Atletico Madrid needs an attacker. Although Mata was not so obvious when he was there, he can share the burden of Mark very well. Now all the organization work of Atletico Madrid is assigned to Mark. On his shoulders, the threat of him plugging in to attack is greatly reduced, and Mata's absence has caused a chain reaction in Atletico Madrid's attack line.

Subsequently, Mark Qin took the initiative to put pressure on the club. When Atletico Madrid raised the offer to 38 million, Udinese finally nodded, and Sanchez officially transferred to Atletico Madrid.

But Cazorla's joining was a failure, not because of the transfer fee. His transfer fee was not high, around 20 million, but he himself was unwilling to come, play on the wing, let alone be a substitute.

Well, not everyone is willing to live under the light of Mark Qin. He said that he could do nothing. In the end, Atletico Madrid hired the 19-year-old Isco from the Valencia b team with a lightning-fast 6 million.

"Oh, Mark's substitutes are two young players who are about to be 19 years old, Koke and Isco, well, Mark is also about 19 years old, not a year older than them, but why do I have a kind of, uh, weird Feeling”, Maria said in the commentary of the last league game of the month, Atletico Madrid vs Biba, because yesterday Atletico Madrid announced that their winter transfers have been completed and no one will come in or leave.

"That's my feeling too, maybe it's because Mark has already made us forget his age," Morrison said, "Atletico Madrid spent a lot of money this summer and winter, but they do face an embarrassment because Ma There is no Gerald who is as versatile as Mark and willing to be a green leaf to assist Mark.”

"So they need to reserve strength in multiple positions, but in the middle position, many famous players don't seem to be willing to come as a substitute for Mark. After all, Mark's brilliance is too strong, and it is difficult for you to gain a foothold under his brilliance."

"So Ancelotti chose these young people," Maria nodded. "Koke and Isco are well-known in Spain, but we still need to wait and see if they can keep up with Mark. Mark is very strict with his teammates.”

"No surprise," Morrison echoed. "With Mark's achievements and status, if he comes to Atletico Madrid without convincing results, everyone will think he is doing it for money. Of course Mark doesn't want to accept this."

"Look at this ball, Sanchez, he won the starting position when he first came, and his breakthrough on the right was very sharp." Maria turned the topic back when she saw the wonderful picture.

"Left-back Essa was broken, Sanchez, very fast, inverted triangle pass to the penalty spot, Mark, it's Mark, goaaaaaal..., Mark will not waste such an opportunity, Atletico Madrid finally scored in the first half 38 minutes Take the lead," he yelled loudly.

The entire Calderón came with earth-shaking cheers, the Copa del Rey was eliminated, and Mark Qin was unwilling to be pulled apart in the league. They are now 4 points behind Real Madrid and 7 points behind Barcelona. They will bite whatever they say live.

Because in the second half of the season, they still have the opportunity to play against Real Madrid and Barcelona at home. Only by clinging to the score now will they have the opportunity to overtake in the future.

"This is Mark's 10th goal in the league. Considering he has only come back for two months, this efficiency is simply amazing, and there are six assists," Morrison said.

"So Mark's dependence is something that every team he is in will have. Liverpool, England, and now Atletico Madrid. Now Ronaldo and Messi are ranked first and second in the scorer list. Ronaldo scored in 20 rounds. The terrifying 20 goals, Messi's 16, if Mark hadn't been injured at the beginning of the season, the scorer list must be the stage for the three of them."

When you stand at a certain height or position, of course you don't want to be kicked down, at least Ma Keqin doesn't want to, Atletico Madrid can't become a runner of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but a subversive!

He put his arms around Sanchez who had just arrived and roared ferociously towards the stands. Recently, he was really under a lot of pressure. Not to mention losing a game, there would be a lot of voices looking down on them in a tie.

Although they are young, they don't have much capital to make mistakes...
