Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 684 The Situation of Each Team

"Jose, you also received a text message?" Pei Wei asked Mourinho.

Mourinho nodded: "That's right, Bellamy said he didn't want to go to that bad team."

"This guy..." Pei Wei shook his head and sighed: "Is there any problem with the brains of geniuses? Bellamy is comparable to Anelka. What he did not only blocked our way, but also blocked way out of Birmingham."

"But he still walks the talk - he has rejected Birmingham's offer." Mourinho said.

"Contact the Celtics. They expressed their wish to rent Bellamy a few days ago." Pei Wei shook his head: "Let it for a year and then we can talk about it-now Bellamy has no objection? The Celtics are not bad." Team."

"I hope so. His ability is nothing to say, but it doesn't fit my tactical arrangement. What I need is a team-oriented player, not a so-called genius who puts individual performance above the whole."

Neither Pei Wei nor Mourinho publicized this matter. Although Pei Wei felt very uncomfortable, he knew that Bellamy was such a person, a "child" who hadn't grown up much, and he couldn't afford to be with her. Such people are angry.

When Newcastle and the Celtics started negotiating about loan matters, Bellamy didn't continue the quarrel. He knew the club didn't want him anymore, and the Celtics' strength could satisfy him, even if he was ignorant. He didn't dare to do anything to offend Pei Wei again, you know, Bramble is still in the reserve team.

At that time, Pei Wei's killing of chickens still played a little role for monkeys.

However, Pei Wei and Mourinho were surprised by another player's proposed transfer—Mark Viduka proposed a transfer to the club, and he hoped to go to a club with more playing time.

Viduka's playing time last season was not too small, especially in the second half of the season, when Shearer's physical fitness and state could not be maintained, he was Mourinho's first choice, and his performance was not bad. Poor, had a great performance in the league and the Champions League.

When Mourinho asked, Viduka was sincere: "I would love to stay at Newcastle, the fans here are very enthusiastic, the atmosphere inside the team is also very good...but now there are three centre-forwards in the club, I am very happy to stay at Newcastle. The peak period will not be too long, I hope to get more opportunities to play before my state declines."

Mourinho was silent. He knew that Viduka's request was not too much, but the current situation of the club is like this. Although Shearer will reduce the number of appearances next season, with his experience and strength, as long as his physical condition allows It will definitely be the main force, so Viduka will compete with Drogba for a substitute position, and Viduka has no advantage in this regard.

In terms of age, Viduka is already 29, and Drogba is a full three years younger than him. In terms of relationship, Drogba can definitely be regarded as Mourinho's direct descendant. He has been in Mourinho since the Yunjiatianyu era Neo is now playing football. In terms of ability, Viduka has a good physical advantage, but he is just a "brute bull", while Drogba is a "monster"...

Viduka is a very smart player, and he has not yet reached the point of retirement. He has already won a Champions League in Newcastle, and he has no regrets. Being the main player in the middle and lower reaches of the team can at least keep his state longer. His performance last season gave him many choices.

After a long time, Mourinho nodded: "I understand, Mark, this is your own choice... If there is a suitable offer, we will let him go."

Viduka understands what Mourinho means. Last season, the club only bought him for 600 million pounds, and his performance last season was also very good. If the transfer fee is lower than this price, Not only the club, but also the fans will express their dissatisfaction.

"Okay, let's go with two strikers, come with two strikers, our striker line has changed again...Fortunately, the two main players are still there, and Drogba, I know how to use him." Mourinho said to Pei Wei said.

Pei Wei also regretted after knowing that Viduka decided to leave. In his opinion, although Viduka is not capable of playing the main force, it is absolutely no problem to be a main substitute. Shearer will retire almost after this season Now, Drogba will be the main force at that time, and Viduka will be on the bench—there is no substitute more like Drogba than Viduka.

But everyone has their own aspirations, and it is natural for Viduka to want to leave-no one can demand a 29-year-old striker endure a one-year bench as the first substitute-this is too strong and difficult.

Anyway, even if Viduka leaves, there are still four forwards and three center forwards in the team. Even if the club wants to fight on multiple fronts, there will be no problem. Moreover, players like Drogba and Ibrahimovic are rarely injured. , Now the club's medical facilities are also quite good, and there will be no large-scale injuries.

"By the way, Jose, there is another good news... Do you want to add a young player on the right side?" Pei Wei clapped his hands and said to Mourinho as if remembering something.

"We already have Nie Fei and Dyer on the right. An absolute main player in China and a fringe international player in England are already very strong." Mourinho said with a frown. For a coach like him, he is not a player. The more the better, but as long as the most suitable.

However, he is still interested in hearing about Pei Wei's candidates. He knows that Pei Wei will not force him on a certain player. Suggestions are just suggestions.

"Alan Lennon of Leeds United, a wing genius who just turned 17 years old, Leeds United has declared bankruptcy, we can buy him without spending much money... Dyer has no potential, Nie Fei has Time to play centrally and Lennon would be a good signing."

"The kid who created the record for the youngest player to play in the Premier League?" Mourinho immediately knew who he was talking about: "But if he comes, now he can only look for status in the reserve team."

"It's okay, I don't think it's a problem."

After receiving Mourinho's consent, Pei Wei immediately arranged for the transfer department to prepare for the transfer of Alan Lennon. Leeds United, which had declared bankruptcy, was simply unable to retain its players. After paying 200 million After a transfer fee of GBP, Pei Wei brought the 17-year-old star of hope to St. James' Park.

Compared with last season, Newcastle's actions are not too big. A total of six players have been introduced, two young players have been signed, and the cost is less than 6000 million pounds. But they are not famous stars.

Ribery and Drogba only had flashes last season, which does not mean that they can still perform so well this season. After all, the level of the Premier League must be higher than that of La Liga. Essien and Cech are the same Coming from Ligue 33, the media in England are skeptical about their strength. Larsson has a good reputation. The Swedish national team he leads has never lost to the English national team, but he is almost 17 years old after all. It is doubtful how much state he can still have. As for Lennon, the English media do not doubt his strength, but they have doubts. How many chances does Lennon have to play?
Compared with Newcastle's transfer, Manchester United's transfer operation seems to be better. After signing Heinze and Smith, Ferguson poached the 16-year-old central defender Piqué from Barcelona, ​​and then poached him from Parma. The same 16-year-old forward Giuseppe Rossi came. These two players were considered to have a bright future. Ferguson seized the loophole very well and introduced these two talented teenagers without spending a penny.

Immediately afterwards, Manchester United's biggest deal of this summer appeared-the king of the Premier League transfer market this summer belonged to a young man, Everton's golden boy, Wayne who performed well in the European Championship Rooney was bought by Manchester United for 700 million pounds. After completing this big deal, Ferguson announced excitedly that Manchester United already has a future-this future is Rooney and the 19-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo. .

And other teams are not lacking in big money. Liverpool finally found their head coach. After signing a contract with Dutch coach Adriance, they introduced French striker Cisse from Auxerre for a transfer fee of 400 million euros. Then they bought Spanish winger Luis Garcia from Barcelona, ​​and Tottenham is probably the team that has introduced the most players. They have introduced twelve players in one go, but none of them are very famous. Leeds' goalkeeper Paul Robinson and Porto's midfielder Mendes cost a total of less than 2000 million pounds.

After losing Essien, Chelsea did not give up the move to introduce the midfielder. Benitez quickly introduced the Spanish midfielder Alonso from the Real Society. , Chelsea once again announced that it has introduced Italian center Luca Toni from Udinese in Serie A with a transfer fee of 70 million pounds!

As soon as this deal came out, the title of "the number one big fool in the Premier League this year" was immediately placed on Chelsea's head from Newcastle. You must know that Tony is not yet an Italian international, although he can score about ten goals in Serie A every year. , but the reputation is not big at all, spending 300 million to buy a striker for a mid-range Serie A team, what is it if it is not brains?
Benitez did not give any explanation for this. After the introduction of Alonso and Tony, he announced that all the signings this summer were over, and he was ready to start the pre-season training.

Eighty-six million two million, this is Chelsea's investment in the transfer market this summer.
