Football giants

Chapter 246 Who Understands Master Huan's World?
Otagon, the meaning of octagon in English.

In reality, anyone who knows him knows that he is very versatile.

He is a football agent with no qualifications and little reputation.

However, he took his players and moved among many Premier League giants.

This is enough to see his ability.

At this moment, sitting in the stands of the Aarhus football stadium in Denmark, watching the final of the U21 European Youth Championship, Spain defeated England [-]-[-], and he showed a bitter smile.

"This England youth team has Gibbs, Phil Jones, Micah Richards and Smalling in the backcourt, Cleverley, Henderson, Rodwell, Sinclair and Adam Lallana in the midfield, and Sturridge and Welbeck in the forward line."

He casually read out most of the players on the England U21 starting list and on the bench for this final.

He is Daniel Sturridge's agent.

"There are so many young players who are capable of occupying a place in the Premier League, but in the final, they were beaten by Spain and had no power to fight back. Is it because Spain is too strong or England is too weak."

Having said that, Otagon turned his head and glanced at the old man sitting beside him.

Chief scout from Southampton, Ramon Madoni.

A gold medal scout who is respected as a sharp eye in Argentine football.

Ramon Madoni personally came to Denmark to inspect the U21 European Youth Championship, because many players from Southampton participated in this event, including several players from both sides in this game.

Spanish captains Harvey Martinez and Carvajal, as well as England's Daniel Sturridge and U21 youth team substitute Ravel Morrison.

Adam Lallana belonged to Southampton before, but now, he already belongs to Chelsea.

In fact, the focus of this game is Adam Lallana, who is the core midfielder of the England U21 national team, against Javi Martinez, who is in the midfielder position of Spain.

As a result, Adam Lallana did nothing for the whole game.

Harvey Martinez is very general, and he performed very well in the midfield. He is the mainstay of the Spanish national team's backcourt, and Ramon Madoni is also very bright.

But he was thinking about what Master Huan said in his mind.

"Who said he was playing as a defensive midfielder? I bought him so that he could play as a central defender!"

Even now, Ramon Madoni still finds it funny.

A player who has always been a midfielder, but was brought in to play a central defender?

Isn't this nonsense?
After watching Harvey Martinez's performance in this game, Ramon Madoni felt that he was very suitable to play as a midfielder.

As for the effect of playing central defender... who knows?
But no one dared to easily question Master Huan's thoughts and vision.

Because in the past, he has proven himself right countless times.

The only thing to do is to cry out.

Who knows the world of Master Huan?
Adam Lallana's sluggish performance in this game once again confirmed Bielsa's foresight.

He is one of the few skilled players in English football who can play as a midfielder, especially as a midfielder for a top team. He has not yet shown such strength.

Selling Adam Lallana and further releasing Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to be the right step.

Ottagon saw that Ramon Madoni had been silent, obviously thinking about his own affairs, and did not bother him for a while.

Nor did they feel dissatisfied because the other party did not answer their own questions.

Because he knows his weight and weight.

By the time Ramon Madoni looked up, the players on both sides had already left the field.

Although it is the European Youth Championship, there are not many fans in the stands.

"Ramon, let's go down." Ottagon suggested.

Ramon Madoni nodded.

The two went down the stairs from the stands, reported their identities to the staff, and walked directly into the stadium.

"Hi, Ramon!"

As soon as Carvajal saw Ramon Madoni, he greeted him with a smile.

"Daniel, I didn't perform well enough in this game, especially on the offensive end. I wasn't committed enough, and I wasted several opportunities!" Ramon Madoni said with a slight smile.

Carvajal smiled and pointed to Adam Lallana who was walking from a distance, "This is the coach's arrangement. He often moves on the left side, so my defensive pressure will be greater."

"What are you talking about?" Adam Lallana walked up to them, "Hello, Ramon!"

"Hello, Adam!" Ramon Madoni greeted him with a smile.

After all, they have been together for a year, and although they are about to become rivals, their friendship is still there off the court.

"The captain of Spain is our newly introduced player?" Adam Lallana asked with a frown.

Although he has already transferred, he still regards Southampton as his own in his heart.

Playing for Chelsea is a career, but Southampton is a home.

Ramon Madoni nodded, "Harvey Martinez, from Athletic Bilbao."

After the end, he asked again with a smile, "How do you feel?"

The most valuable evaluation of players is undoubtedly from opponents with real swords and guns.

Adam Lallana shook his head, "This guy's physique is really good, he is very accurate in positioning and predicting the ball, and he is also very good in defense. In short, he is a troublesome character!"

Carvajal laughed, "Our captain not only knows how to defend, but also has pretty good skills."

"Really?" Adam Lallana did not doubt that it was fake.

In many cases, a player's performance on the court is not necessarily a reflection of his true strength, but more of obeying tactical needs.

As a defensive midfielder, Harvey Martinez does not have many opportunities to perform at his feet. It is not certain that he has excellent skills.

Although everyone knows that the U21 European Youth Championship has no influence, and even the finals are not full of seats in the stands, but it is a championship honor after all.

Having lost the final, the English players lacked interest.

Ramon Madoni comforted Adam Lallana.

Although he performed poorly in the final, England was able to stand out from the group stage all the way and reach the final. As the core midfielder, he contributed a lot.

At least, after this event, his sky-high price of 4000 million pounds will be much less controversial.

But compared to Adam Lallana, Daniel Sturridge is much more depressed.

In the previous half season, after going to Bolton on loan, he was quite eye-catching.

Bolton was able to successfully avoid relegation in the end. He relied on Daniel Sturridge on the front line and Gary Cahill on the defense line.

However, after coming to England U21, the team's main center position belongs to Manchester United's Welbeck.

Sturridge's characteristics have not been brought into full play, which has to be said to be a shortcoming of the head coach Pierce.

"Hello, Daniel." Ramon Madoni, accompanied by his agent Otagang, met the 21-year-old teenager.

"Hi, Ramon." Sturridge was a little uninterested.

Ramon Madoni noticed this, and secretly made a judgment in his heart.

This is a player who has a strong desire to win and doesn't like to lose.

This is very similar to Southampton's character.

"I came to Denmark specially this time just to inspect you."

Sturridge still looked very calm.

He previously played for Manchester City and Chelsea, and was later loaned out to Bolton, both Premier League teams.

Now joining Southampton in the British Championship, it is natural to be calm.

Even, faintly, he was a little aggrieved.

He felt that going to Southampton was a bit of a backtracking.

"We understand that when you were at Bolton, you were injured. I don't know how you are recovering now?"

Sturridge was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party made a special trip to Denmark just for this matter.

"It's okay, no problem."

Ramon Madoni didn't say much, "For the sake of safety, we recommend that you come to the team to report in advance. We will do the most detailed physical examination for you to solve your potential injuries."

Sturridge thought for a while and nodded, but instead of answering, he asked.

"Can I play the main force in the new season?" He asked directly.

Ramon Madoni chuckled, "Of course, if you think you have the strength."

Sturridge seemed very confident, "Of course I believe in myself."

"Then prepare well." Ramon Madoni encouraged with a smile.

"Both Bielsa and I are optimistic about you as a center forward, but you have to work harder to compete with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Drogba!"

"Drogba?" Sturridge said in surprise.

"Drogba is really going to Southampton?"

Ramon Madoni smiled, but didn't say anything, which was a tacit consent.

"I have to go, you should adjust and rest well, I hope you will be ready when the team trains!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

It is a good thing for a young man to be confident, but perhaps, in the long run, he should suffer a little.

After all, there is often only a thin line between pride and self-confidence.

"Bruce Barker has already told me clearly!"

In a mansion on the outskirts of London, agent Sadie was relaying to Didier Drogba the meaning from the Chelsea management.

"He told me very definitely that Abramovich will not see you. In addition, he also told me that now we have only two options, either to play in Southampton, or to sit on the bench at Chelsea for a year, choose one of the two."

When Drogba heard this, he was immediately annoyed, "Choose one?"

He was trembling with anger, because he never thought that he would be humiliated like this.

Who is he?
Warcraft Drogba!
The world's top center, even if he is 33 years old!
But now, he was threatened by the club like this.

Can he not lose his temper?

"Those bastards, those bastards, they're all sons of a bitch!"

Drogba roared angrily, kept swearing, and paced back and forth in his living room, very aggrieved.

The economic man Sadie is equally indignant.

Given Drogba's contribution to Chelsea over the years, he should not be treated like this.

He is a Chelsea hero!

Last season, if it weren't for Drogba, whether Chelsea would have been able to keep their Champions League qualifications is a question!
But now, this hero is so threatened by the club's senior management.

what is this?
How can such a ruthless person convince the public?

But after thinking about it again, Sadie was helpless.

In the final analysis, today's professional football is still the era of capital.

To put it simply, money is what matters.

Whoever has money can control the right to speak.

Just like Manchester City, upstarts, right?

But they were able to create a lineup capable of winning the championship in the shortest possible time.

There is also Southampton, a team in the low-level leagues, but they are sitting on a set. Even in the Premier League, they have a lineup that can compete with all the top teams.

Behind professional football is capital operation.

After all, Drogba is 33 years old, and he is no longer a fledgling young boy.

After a moment of rage, he quickly realized that it was impossible to solve the problem by being angry.

What I want to do most now is to figure out a problem.

"Why do they have to send me to Southampton?" Drogba felt very strange.

He can understand forcing him to transfer.

But the question is, why must it be Southampton?
Sadie smiled wryly, "I've heard some rumors about this matter, but I don't know if it's true or not."

What happened in the royal box is considered the top secret.

Even a well-connected agent, or even a reporter, can often only get some fluffy information.

No one will easily reveal what happened in the royal box.

Unless, this person doesn't want to hang out in this circle from now on.

This is an unspoken rule followed by everyone in the upper class.

"Let's hear it!" Drogba looked very calm.
