Chapter 2 Transformation
In the sport of football, the people responsible for scoring goals are always more advantageous. Whether it is the actual income or the level of attention, they are not comparable to defensive players, especially in La Liga, which advocates offense. If possible, Lin Sen does not want to completely break the main framework of last season, subjectively or objectively, but the problem is that most of the substitutes in Malaga have either expired or loaned out. The remaining few cannot be sold at all.
The offensive line that Malaga fans are proud of last season, with Sitargo's departure, the Trident has already lost the most important link. Whether they want it or not, the offensive line of Malaga in the new season will surely usher in a major change. After the two substitute forwards left, Malaga currently has only two regular strikers, namely Balista and Baja. These two main promotion heroes of Malaga are also one of the few rumored figures in Malaga. This is not surprising. In a small team, once a player performs better, he will immediately be as distinctive and outstanding as a fireflies in the night, and more importantly, he is so cheap and affordable. He can be a main force to attack cities and capture villages, and retreat to be a substitute and make sure to make a profit. He is simply a must-have medicine for a powerful team.
Can you not spread some scandals?!
If possible, at least at the competitive level, Lin Sen's impression of the "double-bus" on the front line is even above most people. The reason why Sitalgo was able to shine last season was not unrelated to the sacrifice of this pair of partners on the front line. Last season, Baja scored ten goals, and Barista scored only seven. Goals are an important criterion for measuring forwards, but not the only criterion. Lin Sen is a supporter of this concept. Atletico Madrid's second half against Coruña is still vivid in his mind. For him, a player who willingly put down his posture for the team and assumes the responsibility that did not belong to him is a good player. This has nothing to do with the strength of the players, but only about attitude.
But now, there is no way. Only by giving up can one gain. If you decide the position of using the knife, the next thing will be much more substantial.
He doesn't need to worry about the goalkeeper position for the time being. Substitute goalkeeper Arno can maintain the right pressure on the main goalkeeper Gotia. Gotia is a traditional goalkeeper. In Linson's view, he is just average. He has no particularly amazing saves throughout the season, but there are no unstoppable low-level mistakes. To put it bluntly, he loses the ball that should be lost and saves the ball that should be saved. This kind of goalkeeper does not have much presence on the court and is easily ignored or even ignored by fans. But for the coach, it is actually more reassuring than the "human" goalkeeper type. As for Arno, who lost the main position last season, is the captain of Malaga. The age of 33 is not old at the goalkeeper position. As for whether he is willing to give the main position to Gotia, he doesn't know. He is unwilling to be the best.
Double insurance also allows Lin Sen to do not need to do much in this regard, and a dispensable third goalkeeper is a small fight.
In the back line, the main central defender partners Wellington and Rosario, who had just pieced together last season, lost a lot of goals in the first half of the season because of insufficient tacit understanding. However, after the second half, as the tacit understanding increases, the central defender partners showed complementarity. It is worth mentioning that Wellington came from Switzerland's Grasshoppers. Linsen planned to let Livermore execute the buyout contract, but the price must be suppressed. Otherwise, if they buy out according to the original loan contract of 800,000, Linsen basically had to run naked before selling the person.
Two sidelines, Garmez and Rosato, native right-back Garmez has become the actual captain of Malaga last season, a relatively traditional Spanish full-back, while Brazilian Rosato, like many Brazilian defenders, has better off offense than defense, and free kicks are awesome. As for other people on the defense line, Calleyan, who often plays guest-game defenders, is actually a full-back, while Lobato is a patch for the backcourt, and the rest... either the contract expires or the loan expires. In short, if you want to ensure that each position has more than two choices, Lin Sen still has to think.
Compared with the defense line, as the main transformation target, the midfield is destined to be upside down next season. Last season's Malaga midfield was the most painful position for Linson, because the biggest highlight of the Malaga midfield last season was Sitargo, and the Argentine had already left the team early. Last season, Malaga had a good defense line, but the number of goals conceded was high. The midfield could not provide effective protection is an important reason, especially in the middle. This is a disadvantage of the diamond-shaped midfielder. Celli and Elisu put too much energy on the wing road, so that the defensive pressure of the midfield completely fell on the midfield's midfielder Abno. He was alone and he could only do his best to do his best and leave his fate. The effect can be imagined.
At present, everyone knows that Malaga is looking for a replacement for Sitargo who left the team, but in fact, for Lin Sen, there will be a replacement, but the team in the new season may not be Sitargo's role last season. Lin Sen's word "stability" is reflected in the lineup and style, but it cannot be reflected in tactics, and it cannot be reflected in tactics. Every head coach has requirements for each head coach, and Lin Sen is no exception. Lin Sen plans to play in the five midfielders in the new season, and to put it bluntly, it is to prepare to add a reinforced concrete midfield barrier in front of the defense line. This will be an important part of Lin's defensive system in the new season. Moreover, "Sitargo" in the new season cannot be as undecided as Sitargo last season.
After going down the third line, Lin Sen suddenly discovered that even if he just wanted to "repair", he actually needed to supplement many people. Three to four defense lines, three to four midfielders, and since the forward line has decided to take action, at least two are needed. Together, it is close to the number of players on the court. According to the plan proposed by Livermore at the first meeting, Malaga's recruitment club in the new season is mainly loan-based, and with the promotion of young players, the rest can only count on the free agent market. This is also the way for most small clubs to survive.
Lin Sen had no choice but to change the main and secondary approach. The loan, as the main method of signing, became a backup method, and replaced it with the gold dig model. Regarding this, Livermore, who always smiled, frowned and accepted silently. Lin Sen didn't want to explain too much, and fought for the transfer right for a long time. Isn't it just for this, he gave Livermore four names directly.
De Gea, Cork, Alba, Isco.
In addition to the four names De Gea and Coctorlinson coaching Atletico Madrid last season, Livermore was confused on the two names behind. At that time, Linson rolled his eyes and told Livermore earnestly that he could find it by turning left to Valencia. Livermore left half-believing and half-doubting.
De Gea and Coke don't need to introduce it. As for Jordialba and Isco, the former should still be in Valencia's second team. If Malaga did not intervene, he will go to Tarragona in the Spanish Second Division this season and make his debut there. It is precisely because of his performance there that Alba gradually attracted Valencia's attention. Linsen caught this time point. In any case, Malaga, who can play in La Liga, is it more attractive than Tarragona? The latter, to put it bluntly, Linsen just took the time when Isco joined Malaga, because Isco, who was born in Malaga, will also join Malaga in two years and become a European golden boy step by step here. There is no reason why Isco will refuse the call of his hometown team.
Now, nearly a week has passed, Linson plans to see Livermore's progress.
One good news and one bad news.
When Lin Sen dialed Livermore and heard him say this, Lin Sen felt a stomachache again, but fortunately Livermore finally didn't keep it in a silence.
The good news is that except for De Gea's explicit rejection, the clubs where the other three are located have a relaxed attitude towards the three. The bad news is that while releasing people, except Alba, both Cork and Isco are attached.
Cork and Atletico Madrid require the repurchase clause, while Isco and Valencia prefer to rent. On the contrary, Alba and Valencia do not set any obstacles: 200,000 yuan, free shipping is impassed.
Such a result is not beyond Lin Sen's expectations.
As Abiatti returns to AC Milan in the new season, with the main goalkeeper undecided, Atletico Madrid's intention to keep De Gea as the third goalkeeper was heard as early as when Lin Sen was still at Atletico Madrid. The reason for putting De Gea into the target is more of a try, and there is no need to worry too much about success or failure.
Compared with De Gea, Linson undoubtedly attaches more importance to Cork. Although Atletico Madrid requires the addition of repurchase clauses to the Cork transaction, Linson does not think that Atletico Madrid finally realized Cork's potential, and it is more likely to be just a routine method.
As we all know, after experiencing the "Raul's sorrow", Atletico, which once disbanded the youth team, re-established its importance on youth training. After Cerezo took over, this importance became a team building strategy. Atletico will promote young players from the youth team to the first team for training almost every season. Atletico's emphasis on youth training has made Atletico particularly cautious in handling its own young people's transfers. Cork's repurchase clause is just a reflection of this prudence.
It has to be said that Atletico Madrid's prudence is a wise move. Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of a rope for ten years. Although this proverb is not a compliment, at least one effect is very obvious, which is to minimize the probability of being bitten by a snake.
Thinking of this, Lin Sen had to complain that although there were not many opportunities to use the repurchase clause, it was really a good thing tailor-made for big clubs. Compared with this clause, another mandatory provision in La Liga specially formulated for local tyrants is actually more practical, that is, the minimum termination fee.
The minimum termination fee clause is not uncommon in European football, but only La Liga makes mandatory regulations. Any player over 17 years old must include the minimum termination fee clause when signing a contract. The minimum termination fee, as the name implies, its purpose, and its purpose are actually all in the name.
Alba and Isco, who also belong to Valencia, are not without the minimum termination fee for Alba. You should know that Alba's minimum termination fee is only 250,000, not to mention that if you guess correctly, the Barcelona left-back in the future should still play as a winger. Look at Valencia's current left-winger candidate: David Silva, Juan Mata, Vicente... Look at these names, you will know why Valencia does not set obstacles to Alba's transfer. And Isco, who is under the age of seventeen, must be a bit famous in the youth team. Such young people who rely on extraordinary skills to make a living are always more conspicuous. In addition, there is no restriction of the minimum termination fee, it is not surprising that Valencia only hopes to be on loan.
In any case, it seems that his main recruitment target in the first stage has not encountered any obstacles in the club. You should know that the reason why Lin Sen asked Malaga to postpone his signing news was for these transactions. One had the title of former coach, and the other had just asked for it for a moment. He didn't know whether he was a gentleman, but Lin Sen never minded being a villain.
After telling Livermore that it would be better to finalize these deals before the European Cup, Lin Sen quickly sent him another fax: the second phase of signing and cleaning up the list.
