Mister Legend

Chapter 577 Finalizing the New Frontier
When choosing a suitable substitute for Villalivre, Raul once mentioned three names from the Real Madrid youth academy: Paraguay international Sergio Diaz, who is currently playing for Valencia, Mayoral, who has been in and out of the Bernabeu repeatedly before, but has never been reused by previous coaches, and Elliott Gomez, who has played amazingly immediately after being loaned to Getafe, are far more important than others. The chairman of Real Madrid, who attaches great importance to youth training, naturally hopes that the first team can have more players of his own lineage.

Among the three, except for Diaz who joined Castilla when he was 18 years old, the other two were trained in the Real Madrid youth training camp before the age of 14. The inheritor of the gown.

And from the perspective of potential value and current ability, they also have an evaluation of around 160. Coupled with the bonus of being familiar with the club and the La Liga environment, it is more than enough to return to the Bernabeu to play the role of a substitute striker.

But this proposal obviously couldn't persuade Li Moody to agree. Even Hierro expressed disapproval, because the upper limit of the three players is not high, and they have no development potential.It is not in line with the team's philosophy of only bringing in the best players, and it is difficult to expect what kind of help they will bring to the team. Instead, it will repeat the tragedy that made these players suffer on the bench. It is an unacceptable loss.

So the three bigwigs quickly reached a consensus to strive to introduce a top center this winter, because even if Villalivre can return in time as planned, his potential value is only 170 at the highest (Li Mudi from the FM system obtained data, and the other two people made judgments based on their actual abilities), judging from their 27-year-old age, there is also no room for improvement. If there is a chance to buy a more dominant As for the front line, the chairman and director of Real Madrid will still choose to shoot without hesitation.

Therefore, when Li Moody put Pellegri, who is in the limelight in today's football, on the stage, he naturally obtained enough support from the other two without any effort, and then he could start to cooperate with the target person and the people behind him. The initial contact with the affiliated club was made.

Pellegri, who was born in 2001, was regarded as a super genius by the outside world at the time. In the years from 2017 to 19, his potential value evaluation in a series of football games was second only to Mbappe, and he did his part. Ranked second in the ranking of future stars.

And judging from his development history over the years, those who were optimistic about him before are indeed worthy of pride, because the common tragedy of Zhong Yong's injury did not appear on this Italian international who is still improving year by year.

While playing for his home team Genoa, the player tied the record of the youngest player in Serie A with his 15-year-old age, and then set a new record for the youngest goal scorer in Serie A history; joined in the summer of 2017 After the Red Bull, he successively placed a series of unattainable titles in his name, such as the youngest player in the league to score twice and the youngest player to score ten goals in the Champions League.

In the winter of 2019, Pellegri, who encountered a development bottleneck in Turin, switched to the Ligue 18 powerhouse Monaco with a record breaking transfer fee of 5000 million euros for players under the age of 2023 at the time. development period.As of 117, the Italian lad has played a total of 41 games for his new club in various competitions, scoring 10 goals and having [-] assists, which is considered a very good report card for his age.

It is precisely because of his stable and bright performance that in the transfer window last summer, Paris Saint-Germain paid a huge sum of 1.24 million euros to recruit him and gave Pellegri the status of the main striker .

而一个赛季多下来，在大巴黎身披着9号战袍的他也没有令在其身上投入巨资的俱乐部上下失望，57场比赛共计4007分钟打入27球并送出8次助攻，场均接近0.5的进球率已经是世界顶级前锋的标准了。

Judging from the values ​​given by the FM system and scouting tools, it was displayed on June 6 this year: potential value 30, current ability 186, in the old generation of strikers such as Harry Kane, Lukaku and Icardi Due to their age, their status has begun to show a slight decline, and they are already young players who are most likely to hit the top center in terms of overall ability in the next three or four years.Even though Jesus, Rashford and Werner, who are currently in their prime, are more mature and efficient than Pellegri, the huge age advantage still makes the future of the Italian international full of doubts. infinite hope.

In terms of technical characteristics, although the young man's template is considered by the French media to be the Polish striker Lewandowski, in Li Moody's view, Harry Kane, the top scorer of the Three Lions for many years in the past, is the most appropriate reference. The two people are almost carved out of the same mold in terms of height, body shape and playing style.

For example, they are all good at shooting, but they are not only able to play the role of completing the final blow. They have excellent passing ability and awareness. They are excellent team players and can even share part of the organizer's work when necessary.

In addition, Pellegri's header is also very powerful, which is unmatched by Lewandowski. The young man knows how to use his physical advantage in the game. Although the power of heading the ball is not as great as Kane, his skills are better. Better than that, he has completed many header lobs before, and was also selected as one of the top ten goals of the Ligue [-] season because of a goal with a very weird arc.

And another reason that makes him one of the most popular players in world football today is that Pellegri has many wonderful goals in flashes of inspiration, just like the Swedish god Tayib back then, always It brought surprises to everyone, which brought him a lot of added value in business.

It’s just that although Paris Saint-Germain is also recognized as a top team, since they stepped into this class, the bad impression they left on people by relying on the gold and dollar offensive to win the world has never been cleared, which makes most people In his mind, this Ligue [-] overlord is still far from a real traditional giant like Huang Saren.

Because they are not as lucky as Manchester City. Although they occupy the forefront of their respective domestic league standings and even the championship position all the year round, the global influence of the Premier League is not comparable to that of the increasingly declining Ligue 2023. Has won the honor of the Champions League (as of last season, Blue Moon finally kissed the Big Ear Cup in the 24-[-] season), but Manchester City's status in the eyes of the public is at least half a level higher than Paris.

Therefore, a Golden Globe winner (De Bruyne in 2020) can appear in Blue Moon's team, and this year's highest individual award in European football can almost lock a member of this team. Just won the UEFA Champions League a month ago, and many players in the team performed well in the European Cup in Germany, and it is very possible to even win the top three), and Paris Saint-Germain no matter how dominant they play in the domestic league , can not bring extra halo to the players in the team.

When he first joined the Turin team, Pellegri had an in-depth exchange with his mentor. The young man expressed his wish since he was a child with a slightly shy expression, that is, one day he can grow into the world's number one A striker, standing on top of the world just like his second idol, the alien Ronaldo.And very planned, he also set a preliminary goal for himself who had just debuted in Serie A at that time, that is to catch up with the number one idol and Genoa star Signori, and become a top player in the domestic league. Shooter, that's why he didn't accept invitations from some foreign giants and finally chose to join the Red Bulls.

Unfortunately, his initial goal was not achieved.However, after going to France, the young man has been working very hard to give his all in training and competitions, continuing to catch up with the Brazilian figure, and judging from the performance of the 23-year-old age group, although it has been two years since then There is still a certain gap between Ronaldo, the World Footballer, but it is not an unreachable distance, and there is still a chance to continue to approach or even level.

It’s just that Pellegri, who has not much time to waste before the peak period starting at the age of 25 or 6, needs to make a key decision now. If he dreams of painful or exciting days, then he must seek to join a real giant team, because only there can bring him higher intensity training and wider attention, otherwise it will be difficult to say the upper limit of future achievements where will be.

The most typical example in this regard is Neymar, the Brazilian superstar who made people see the hope of breaking Melo's duo in the three years from 2014 to 2016, but because of status, treatment and other issues (too short-sighted in my opinion) never Barcelona, ​​still in their prime at the time, switched to Paris Saint-Germain.As a result, he has the absolute core position he hopes to obtain (in this life, because Mbappe was poached to Real Madrid early, no one in the new club can threaten his status), but the actual performance, especially in the world The reputation of football is actually on the decline. You must know that he was born in 1992 at the age when he was just entering the best state of his career!

His departure not only allowed Melo and Melo to continue their dominance in football for another three or four years, but also greatly damaged Barcelona's strength. Otherwise, the miracle of Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League titles would not It must be easy to achieve.

As for Neymar himself, he also lost an excellent opportunity to attack the No.1 in the world, even though he won a bunch of championship trophies in Paris and led the Selecao to win the Copa America. However, his status in football did not rise but fell, being surpassed by Hazard, De Bruyne and others, and eventually fell out of the ranks of the top ten superstars.

Fortunately, he came to his senses in time and joined Manchester United again. This is the stage where he can show his ability to more people again.It's just that when he landed at Old Trafford, he was already 30 years old, and the golden years of the previous five years were wasted in vain. This cannot but be said to be a huge regret.Otherwise, with the state of the Brazilian at the Nou Camp that year, it is very likely that he will be the most dazzling figure leading contemporary football.

However, Neymar's experience is a big warning to young players such as Pellegri. It is such a classic case that reminds everyone with lofty goals. The team will always occupy an overwhelming advantage in signings, making the talents all over the world have no resistance to the temptation of these teams.

So after a period of less than 5 minutes of chicken soup-style "flickering" for the soul, Li Moody settled the center forward he had always been very optimistic about, and the rest of the work could be handed over to Hierro to complete.

In theory, this must be a violation, but no matter how much FIFA and UEFA increase the punishment, they will not be able to prevent the buyer's team from privately contacting the signing target, unless they can monitor everyone like the United States Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to get evidence for such a thing.

In short, as an excellent hands-off shopkeeper, the Real Madrid coach no longer keeps too much focus on this matter after confirming Pellegri's intentions. His work direction is still to lead the team to win every game That is the most important job as a team coach.

On November 11th, the Real Madrid soldiers who returned to the club after two weeks of national team missions regrouped for less than three days of preparation, and set off for the Anoeta Stadium in the Basque Country for an away challenge royal society.Under the leadership of David Surutusa, the legendary midfielder who played for the team for 24 seasons, the latter has played a pleasing offensive football, and the results are also unexpected The excellent performance temporarily ranks No.7 in the standings, which is the highest in the same period in five years.

However, this duel, which was originally expected by the Catalan media to block Real Madrid's progress, still disappointed them. The process of the game was very exciting, but the winning side was the visiting team.

Due to the absence of Villalivre, who will start today as planned, Li Moody tactically arranged the routine of focusing on fast ground attacks. With the support of the waist Couch, he played amazing power. Through his super personal skills and dizzying continuous passes, the defense of Real Sociedad was almost collapsed.

In the end, the score of 3-0 allowed Real Madrid to prepare for the UEFA Champions League group stage three days later with an excellent mood. At the same time, it built up sufficient confidence for the national derby a week later. Everyone has a very high expectation for the next schedule expectations.
