[Football Fans] Glory

At the beginning of the new season, it was a departure full of parting and sadness. The four retired veterans said their final goodbyes to their teammates and fans on the grass with trophies. The beginning, who can tell clearly!

Real Madrid's first team members Ribuyo, Mia, Shendo and the old captain Sanchis retired. Panucci, Rush and Alcorta transferred and left 7 people. The new transfer came to Blanca , Savio, Morientes, and the substitute goalkeeper Casillas was promoted from the youth team, and a total of four people were introduced.

There are currently 21 first-team players in the new season:

Goalkeepers: Ilgna, Contreras, Casillas

Backcourt: Carlos, Fernando Hierro, Redondo, Amavisca, Fernando Sanz, Ze Robert, Blanca

Midfielders: Mijatovic, Nedved, Enrique, Cabron, Savio, Belleron

Frontcourt: Guti, Rivaldo, Raul, Suker, Morientes

This number is far lower than the 25 people normally required by a giant, not to mention the nearly 30 members of the first team in the past.

Among them, the central defender Alcorta who was released confuses many people. Some fan associations even openly questioned why the club released the important central defender Alcorta in the backcourt. In the end, Alcorta himself came out to explain that it was not the club. He wanted to sell himself, but he chose to leave.

In his public statement, Arcorta said:

"I'm a Basque, my hometown needs me and that's why."

Due to the poor performance of Athletic Bbao and the lack of backbone in the team, a local Basque newspaper published a commentary titled "Arcorta, Bilbao call you back for dinner" (*reality What happened, the original text of the newspaper), Arcorta was moved after seeing this report, so the Basque hero resolutely bid farewell to the club on the grounds of family matters and returned to the embrace of his home team.

His transfer made Real Madrid a little passive, and the central defender who didn't need to be supplemented suddenly lacked a hole. Faced with this situation, the club manager Valdano studied the list of players in hand, and resolutely extended his claws to Athletic Bibao-yes, you read that right, Athletic Bibao, who snatched central defender Arcota from Real Madrid's claws, was eventually taken away by Real Madrid's central defender Karanka.

With this in and out, Real Madrid and Bilbao have exchanged central defenders.

This made Athletic Bbao say some sour words.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, remained calm... ignored them.

Of course, the most interesting thing is that Karanka also chose to return to Bilbao for dinner after playing for Real Madrid for 5 seasons.

In view of this, not only the upper echelons of the club keep asking whether the first team needs to buy more players, but also the direct team managers, including Valdano and Papa, are also worried. After all, Real Madrid will not only fight on the third line in the new season, In response to the recruitment of their own players by the national teams of various countries, whether the 21 players who look good today can cope with the harsh game, these need more consideration.

After the discussion, seeing that the transfer period during the summer break had not yet closed, the management team and the coaching staff held a meeting with the members of the captain's meeting to study whether it was necessary to buy players again.

At present, the members of the first-team captain meeting include captain Enrique, vice-team Hierro, third captain Redondo, and fourth captain Guti. There are only these four people.

After reviewing the current first-team roster several times, everyone agreed that it is most appropriate to keep the first-team personnel at around 25, that is to say, it is best to add three to four more.

But which positions should be added specifically?

The goalkeeper is not considered. There are currently 7 defensive personnel, 6 midfielders, and 5 frontcourt personnel. Then Guan Jian depends on the coach. He is going to consider supplementing the formation changes with different technical characteristics and original personnel. The player is the best fit.

"In fact, the defensive personnel have not changed much. The main force, rotation, and substitutes are relatively reasonable. In terms of midfield," the old man hesitated, "the main force is usually Enrique, Nedved, and Mija. Tovic, the other three substitutes are enough, as long as there are no large-scale injuries, they can also top. In the frontcourt, Jose plays as a midfielder most of the time, Rivaldo counts as a midfielder or midfielder, and Morientes It is a center forward, and our forwards only have Suk and Raul, so I think we can consider finding another striker with different characteristics from them."

"Raul is characterized by a keen sense of smell in front of the goal but not fast. Su Ke has excellent shooting skills and is flexible but not strong. If you are looking for a fast or powerful shooter?"

Valdano looked at his father inquiringly.

The old man nodded, "Different types of forwards are more conducive to formation changes. They can cooperate with different players and deal with different opponents. It's just that such shooters are hard to find."

Listening to their discussion, Enrique also took the initiative to study with the coaches, while Hierro frowned. Guti knew at a glance that he was thinking about whether he could allocate someone from his own youth training, but the current second team and the youth There are really few shooters in the team who can possess these two conditions.

As for the third captain Redondo, he is not very vocal. Although he is called "our prince" by the people in Madrid and Real Madrid, he is not a player from Real Madrid's youth training. Will not speak easily.

Guti has been thinking about it. He is thinking whether to speak or not. It's okay to say it in his capacity, but whether it will make others think he is troublesome.

"Jose?"

Hierro, sitting next to him, pushed him.

"what?"

Guti's trance was noticed by Hierro, and he asked in a slightly worried whisper, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about whether there are suitable frontcourt players in the second tier and the youth team."

Seeing that it was Hierro who asked, Guti answered frankly.

Hearing what Guti said, Hierro touched his head in relief, "Then do you have any thoughts?"

Guti pouted, "It stands to reason that you are more familiar with the players of the second-tier team and the youth team than I am."

Hierro smiled, "Yeah, but it's not easy to find someone who can play and fight."

"Well, I really think it's good to have a few little guys, but the oldest of them was born in 83, so I don't need it now."

Guti spread his hands.

"Well," Hierro was silent for a while, "Actually, there is a young man who is 80 years old, but I don't know if he can play first-line."

The old man who heard the conversation between the two here was taken aback, "Fernando, you are talking about Ivan Ricky!"

"Sir, you know!"

Hierro smiled.

"How could the disciple I teach not know, he will be 17 next month."

Dad sighed.

"Can't you?"

Valdano asked, looking up.

Although he is Argentine, he is also from Real Madrid, and he is also very concerned about Real Madrid's own youth training talents.

"Talent is there, but..." Dad shook his head, "But it's not as good as Raul's."

Raul can be promoted to the front line again at the age of 17, not only because of his talent, but also because he needs someone who dares to use him.

There are so many talented players in the world, how many of them can really play?

Especially players like Raul and Guti are even rarer.

The people present are all players or professionals from players, so they understand these principles better.

"Actually, I think I can try it."

Guti spoke.

His words attracted the collective attention of everyone in the room. Guti thought for a while before continuing, "Not everyone can become the main force of the first team at the age of 17 like Raul or that Ronaldo, but if they are not given a chance, they will not be able to do so." How do you know if they are the next Raul or Ronaldo!"

Speaking of this, Guti smiled bitterly, "We always look at the children of other families as strong, but our own children are also talented, why can't we give them more opportunities, they don't lack talents, they only lack Chance."

Guti raised his head and looked around the audience more firmly, thinking of the sadness that so many Real Madrid youth talents could only stay away because the Real Madrid in the future only wanted other top players.

"The significance of a club's existence is not only how many championships they have won, but whether they have cultivated their own talents other than championships. There are so many talented children in our Real Madrid echelons at all levels. Why not consider getting them more How about more opportunities to be proud of playing for your own club? I hope that in the future countless fans will not only pat their chests and say that we love Real Madrid, not only because of their achievements, but also because there are many players trained by themselves in the club. , isn’t it precisely because of this?”

Guti's words made everyone quiet. They looked at the excited Guti. The lines between the brows and eyes of the old man smiled with joy. He looked at his disciples. No matter where he came from, he loved Real Madrid. , the only one who loves deeply, that's enough.

"Jose is right, why don't we give these kids a chance!"

What's more, regardless of whether it is the league or the European competition, the use of young players does not take up the team's quota. UEFA has always vigorously promoted the development of youth training for various clubs. Praise, it would be even better if more international players can be trained.

"Then let's take a closer look at the second team and the youth team. It would be great if we can find a new Raul."

Valdano nodded.

Seeing that everyone happily accepted his suggestion, Guti made a face, "It's too much, why not New Guti?"

"Come on, one Guti is enough for us, and another one will be fine!"

Enrique scoffed.

"Damn~~"

Guti gave a middle finger to Enrique next to Hierro.

Enrique pouted, "Look, I'm right!"

Everyone laughed, and Guti was furious, "Huh, yes, I thought of a child who is also 17 years old, ah no, 16 years and 4 months old, Samu who just came to Real Madrid this summer. El Eto'o Fils (Samuel Eto'o Fils), although he is young but he is fast and strong, is very suitable for the conditions that the father said."

"The kid from Africa?"

Dad was taken aback.

He knew this kid, heard that the kid was amazingly talented, and was immediately recommended by Real Madrid scouts, but he was only 16 years old, even if he was physically fit...

"Anyway, it's a substitute among the substitutes, and it's not certain whether he can play, but in terms of his talent, it's better to train with the first team than to be in the second team."

Guti smiled.

The Black Panther in my memory is the sufferer of Real Madrid. Every time I face Real Madrid with that madness, tsk, the goals are like numbness!

Although the temper is bad and the heart is slightly small, the character of the Black Panther is still worthy of trust. If he can be cultivated into a direct line of Real Madrid, it will be a big advantage.

The old man nodded seriously, "I'll go to the second team and the youth team to investigate again. If possible, I can bring a few more to the first team to participate in training. If they can't make it to the game, let them keep up with the youth team. But you need to pay more attention to training."

He looked at the coaching staff, and after they nodded, he turned to the captain's conference team.

Enrique and Hierro nodded, "We will help them."

Redondo nodded silently.

Guti also nodded, "No problem, I will let the young players train with them more, so that they can adapt to the environment quickly."

"very good."

The old man discussed with Valdano a few more words and made a decision.

"That's it. Next year is the big competition year. Many players in the team are members of the national team. We need to unite and unify everyone's thinking. For the new season, let's work together!"
