Football Giants
Chapter 522: Too bad you soar!
The Camp Nou stadium at night is brightly lit, as bright as daylight.
After the players of the two teams finished their pre-match warm-up training and returned to the locker room, Diego Simeone also walked into the player channel.
The Nou Camp’s player passage is very spacious, with a diagonally paved red marble staircase leading to the team’s changing room at the end.
Both sides of the aisle are pasted with delicate wallpaper with portraits of Barcelona's first team players.
Diego Simeone saw him and couldn't help but let out a cold voice.
"Why not post the portrait on the stairs?"
The implication is, in this way, can I step on you all?
Walking up the stairs step by step, listening to the tsunami-like sound of the Camp Nou stadium outside, Simeone's thoughts also opened up, and he couldn't help but enter the second day after playing Real Madrid just a week ago. At the Hada Enda training base, meeting with team owner Yang Huan.
After landing in Europe, he experienced three bosses, all at Atletico Madrid.
One is the former chairman Cerezo and Mr. Hill, both of whom are very budget-conscious, ambitious, but not courageous. They always think about how to spend less, or even do big things without spending money.
There is another boss named Qin He Qian.
Both of these idiots are ball-blind, they don't know football at all, and they can't play professional football at all.
But they are rich!
There is no doubt that Yang Huan is the most knowledgeable and richest of the three bosses he has experienced.
But more importantly, he understands people!
When Simeone raised the hidden dangers of the team, Yang Huan would neither find a lot of reasons to prevaricate, like Cerezo and Hill in the past, or even complain about the team's difficulties with a bitter face.
At the same time, he was not like the two ball blinds with the surname Qin and Qian, who didn't understand anything and couldn't start.
He just asked, what do you want?
After that is the blueprint planned by Simeone himself. For example, to further improve the team's tactics, the focus is on the refinement of regional operations, which can effectively reduce the player's physical consumption.
Another aspect is to increase the thickness of the team's bench.
Simeone proposed that he hoped to recall Cork back to Atletico Madrid.
After the Spanish midfielder went to Southampton half a year ago, he was more of a rotation, but at Atletico Madrid, Simeone intends to entrust Cork with a heavy responsibility.
Because he knows Cork, and Cork knows him too!
Yang Huan also admitted that his decision six months ago was wrong, so he agreed to Simeone's request.
Ever since, with a phone call, Cork will return to Atletico Madrid during the winter break.
But Simeone clearly still feels that it is not enough. He also wants to further improve the thickness of the team's bench and lineup, especially the midfielder.
Midfielder Gaby is already 30 years old. In Simeone's view, Ilya Ramendi is the most suitable replacement.
But this does not mean that Ilya Ramendi's goal is Gaby, on the contrary, in Simeone's eyes, Ilya Ramendi has great potential and hope to surpass Gaby.
Atletico Madrid's current group of main players are not at a high level of overall strength, even including Miranda, Godin, Turan, Gabi and other players, who can only be substitutes for first-line giants.
It's like Gravesson, who was the core of Moyes' Everton, is so beautiful and honorable in the Premier League, but after coming to Real Madrid, he is still untenable.
But if Atletico Madrid wants to maintain the top three in the league for a long time and retain the Champions League qualification, it needs not only short-term planning, but also a long-term perspective.
Gaby is thirty years old, Miranda is twenty-nine, and Felipe and Juan Fran are twenty-eight.
Yes, these players are now in their prime of their careers, but how long can they stay?
With such an amazing tactic of Atletico Madrid, they can last for two to three years.
What about after two or three years?
To put it cold-blooded and ruthlessly, from a realistic point of view, in the long run, this tactic of Atletico Madrid is impossible to last. Players such as Gabi, Miranda, Turan and Suarez will only become the ball. A transition for the team.
Use their sacrifices to lay a solid foundation for the future rise of Atletico Madrid!
In the future, if Atletico Madrid wants to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, they cannot rely on them.
Who does that depend on?
Rely on Cork, Ilya Ramendi, Diego Costa, Tevez, Mandzukic, Griezmann and Courtois!
In other words, Atletico Madrid has to introduce a group of high-quality young players to supplement the team lineup.
This requires a process and the team management needs to plan ahead!
Otherwise, the team's performance will definitely be affected and there will be turbulence.
Just like Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Simeone can guarantee that this team will definitely reshuffle within three years.
As for Atletico Madrid, whose average age is higher than Dortmund, can you not plan ahead?
Simeone's remarks successfully convinced Young Master Huan, who on the spot expressed his full support for Simeone's plan.
Unlike other bosses, Cerezo and Little Hill used to say the same before, but as soon as they turned around and returned to the Calderon Stadium, they immediately started wrangling.
Either he thinks the players Simeone fancy is too expensive, or the players they recommend are too weak.
No way, now is the information age. I really want good quality and low price. One or two times is a big deal. Is it possible to always do this?
But this time, Young Master Huan was obviously different.
Upon returning to the Calderon Stadium, Young Master Huan immediately called Soriano and others over for a meeting, and at the same time activated the scouting systems of Atletico Madrid and Southampton to draw up a list for Simeone's request.
Originally Simeone thought it would take a long time. As a result, two days later, after the Europa League match, the roster and detailed information, as well as the player's video, were all in front of Simeone.
This almost shocked Simeone's chin!
In the end, after Simeone determined the roster, Bergeristan, who was responsible for the team's transfer operations, left Madrid the next day.
Just yesterday, Begiristan returned to Madrid and immediately gave Simeone a satisfactory answer.
During the winter break, Atletico Madrid will recall Cork from Southampton and at the same time introduce the Saints' youth player Markovic.
This player is very appreciated by Bielsa, but in the Saints who are currently full of talented wing players, it is difficult for Markovic to get a chance at present, but after coming to Atletico Madrid, he may have more chances.
But this is only the beginning of a rejuvenation of the team.
By the summer of 2013, Atletico Madrid will introduce from Feyenoord the Dutch teenager Krasi, who has the titles of Jr. Davis and Jr. Harvey, at a price of 6 million euros.
But just for these two nicknames, it is enough to make people clearly know the strength and potential of this 21-year-old Dutch teenager. He has performed well in the Dutch League for three consecutive seasons and is currently in the Dutch national team. , Was reused by Van Gaal.
There is also a transfer to Felipe Anderson from Santos, Brazil. He is 19 years old. He is currently performing well in the Brazilian League. Atletico Madrid spent 8 million Euros to win him.
Crasi and Philippe Anderson are both appointed by Simeone, part of the reorganization of the team's youth!
In this way, Courtois, Peruzi, Jose Gaya, Ilya Ramendi, Cork, Krasi, Salvio, Griezmann, Markovic and Filipe Anderson.
Atletico Madrid has as many as ten players born in the 1990s, and local youth players such as Saul and Oliver Torres are currently performing quite well. Simeone's youth restructuring strategy has been successfully implemented.
In addition to Diego Costa, Godin, Juan Fran, Filipe, Turan, Suarez, Mandzukic and other 25-year-old players who are in their prime, plus Milan Veterans such as Da and Gaby.
This time, the lineup of the first team of the Sheets Corps is quite ideal.
Not only that, even Yang Huan also made a promise that in the transfer market next summer, as long as Simeone is interested and feels suitable, Atletico Madrid can win, even if the transfer fee is less than 10 million euros, the club L!
This is tantamount to giving Simeone and the management considerable financial power and transfer rights!
Ten million euros, a summer, the European transfer market exceeds ten million, how many orders?
Wealthy, too rich, is there?
Compared with the hanging silk-like Cerezo and Little Hill, and the nouveau riche like Qin Qian, Master Huan is really awesome!
As long as he thought of this, Simeone couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his mind.
A kind of excitement that wants to yell to the whole world and let everyone turn their attention to themselves!
He knows that Atletico Madrid has this desire up and down!
Even fans of the Bed Sheet Army also have this desire!
"This sound is beautiful, isn't it?"
A voice came from behind.
Simeone looked back, but saw Barcelona's coach Vilanova walk in from outside the player tunnel with a smile.
The manager underwent tremendous pressure when he took office, but through a series of victories and the best start ever, the coach who succeeded in gaining a firm foothold in the Barcelona coach, at this moment indescribable confidence.
"What did you say?" Simeone didn't quite understand.
Vilanova smiled and pointed to the player passage entrance below, "The fans outside are shouting a slogan."
Simeone raised his brows, **** it, wouldn't it be taunting us?
"We love you, Mourinho, please stay!" Vilanova haha laughed.
Simeone was immediately taken aback, followed by a burst of laughter.
How much deep hatred is necessary to ridicule Mourinho like this?
However, Mourinho can be considered a success if he can be ridiculed by more than 90,000 Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp!
Oh, yes, Vilanova is familiar to fans all over the world for the first time, and it seems that it also came from his conflict with Mourinho.
"Although Mourinho said that it is no longer possible to threaten us by 14 points, but I still think that we can't be careless, can't relax our guard, what do you think?" Vilanova smiled and looked at Simeone. .
This person speaks very gracefully, but there is a dedication in his eyes.
It can be seen that he is eager to prove himself, otherwise, he will not be between the Barcelona high-level and his friend Guardiola half a time ago, resolutely chose the former and abandoned the latter.
And now ~lightnovelpub.net~ he wants to continue the magical performance since the beginning, he has to kill Atletico Madrid!
Simeone is not easy to provoke, he is a very cunning and insidious guy himself.
After listening to Vilanova's words, he couldn't help but smiled.
"Then you had better sprint faster, otherwise, we will be boring to chase afterwards!"
After speaking, Simeone smiled again, "Oh, and they always say that we are rude and direct, but I think we will be gentle tonight, I'm afraid you can't stand it!"
This time Simeone smiled and walked up.
But in my heart, I was thinking cruelly, if I don't abuse you tonight, I will give your last name!
Vilanova stared at Simeone's back, curled his lips with a sneer, and wanted to overtake, but there was no door!
"This is Camp Nou!"
