Chapter 174 Signing Target "Suck High Priest"
The fifth and final round of regular free throws.
This time the Evergrande team played Paulinho.
Li Xin: "It's time for Wang Dalei to change direction this time!"
Dong Lu: "Who knows, it's hard to say if it's real or not, but I always feel that Wang Dalei's condition is not good today, and when he's not in good condition, he tends to compete with himself! So, maybe he will stick to his previous direction"
Gao Yuan felt that Li Xiaopeng's hand on his shoulder trembled slightly.
Gao Yuan took a sneak peek, but saw that Li Xiaopeng's expression was normal on the surface.Gao Yuan understood that the head coach was using great self-control to keep calm.
Wang Dalei, please, stop being self-willed!
But Wang Dalei still rushed to the left.
The experienced Paulinho had already seen through Wang Dalei and easily shot the ball into the right.
The last player of the Taishan team to play was veteran Cui Peng.
Li Xin: "I didn't expect Cui Peng to play in the finale. Li Xiaopeng directed him to resist the pressure and sent him to play. Can he repay the trust of the head coach at the critical moment?"
Dong Lu didn't answer this time, but just stared at the field with burning eyes.
Cui Peng adjusted his breathing and started running.
His steps seem to be stepping on the hearts of everyone in the Olympic Sports Center, keeping in line with the rhythm of the heartbeat.
The slightly bloated Cui Peng ran to the ball, kicked and shot!
The ball flew out, and Liu Dianzuo's body also jumped out sideways.
The same direction!
The ball was blocked by Liu Dianzuo's hands!
The ball didn't go in!
The Olympic Sports Center fell silent for a moment.
Gao Yuan only felt that Li Xiaopeng's arm on his shoulder collapsed in an instant. It seemed that at this moment, something deep in his soul was pulled away!
The score of the penalty shootout was fixed at 4:5, and the total score was 7:8!
The Taishan team still failed to cross the mountain of the Evergrande team and was eliminated in the 1/8 match of the AFC Champions League!
The Evergrande players went crazy, cheering, running, and celebrating.
After a moment of silence in the Olympic Sports Center, there were sighs of regret, curses of disappointment, and cries of pain...
Li Xiaopeng was silent for a few seconds, then raised his arms again, and applauded the players on the field, "Pa-pa-pa-pa--"
There is no doubt that he is the most painful person at this moment, but he cannot show it at this time, because he is the backbone of the team and he cannot collapse!
Gao Yuan's tears couldn't help but welled up.
Such a long time of hard work, such hard preparation, all came to naught at this moment.He was very disappointed and painful, not only because he was a member of the coaching staff of the Taishan team, but also because he was a die-hard fan of the Taishan team.
He is not the head coach, so at this moment he can vent his emotions without any scruples.When the tears welled up, he felt a little more relaxed.Sure enough, tears are the best vehicle to release stress and pain.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan looked at Li Xiaopeng beside him. He was still applauding and encouraging the players, with no sadness or joy on his face.But Gao Yuan knew that he was suppressing himself in pain, and the tears could not flow from his eyes, but could only turn into blood and drip down on his heart.
One day, I will also become a coach. At that time, I will also lose the right to suffer and mourn in front of the public.
This is also the price to be paid behind the head coach's glamorous appearance!
Li Xiaopeng noticed Gao Yuan's eyes and tears, and he comforted him: "If there is a lack of great success, there are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. There are shortcomings that are eternal, and imperfections are life. We have worked hard to the extreme, and what we lose is only fate, and that is enough!"
Gao Yuan nodded half-understood, a little helpless, a little confused, but seemed to understand something.
After the AFC was eliminated, the Taishan team's strategic goals for the season changed accordingly.Multi-line warfare has become two-line warfare.Because the league points have been far behind by Evergrande, SIPG, and Guoan, the FA Cup, which was originally the least important, has become the most important championship of the season.
Affected by the defeat in the AFC Champions League, the additional funds for signings also became a bubble, although at the insistence of the club, the board of directors added an additional 1000 million yuan for signings.But this is almost a drop in the bucket, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
The work efficiency of the signing team is not bad, and several target candidates for signing were quickly determined.
Among them, Vermaelen was listed as the first signing target.
Yes, it was Vermaelen who was called the "Dark High Priest".
Thomas Vermaelen, born on November 1985, 11, is a Belgian central defender who currently plays for FC Barcelona.
Vermaelen made his debut at the Belgian club Ekron, became famous at Ajax in the Netherlands, peaked at Arsenal, and became the captain of the team.Under Arsenal's excellent tradition of "selling the captain", he moved to Barcelona in 2014, but has been plagued by injuries since then. He only played once in the league in the first season, but he completed the treble with the team.
Vermaelen is 1 meters tall and weighs 83kg.Excellent defensive ability, good jumping and landing point judgment ability, and quite good header.The speed is not fast but he can keep up with the opponent's rhythm. He has a good sense of position and can play multiple positions in the defense.
Compared with defensive ability, the biggest feature of this player is that he is often injured, but it is strange that after he is injured, the rest of the team is no longer injured, and the team's record is also quite good. Therefore, fans nicknamed it "the high priest of injury absorption".
Although it is just a joke, people in the football circle are very superstitious, and this is true both at home and abroad.Just like some people believe that ugly girls can flourish, many people in the football circle also believe in Vermaelen's ability to flourish.
In addition to his outstanding personal ability, the reason why Taishan's signing team fell in love with Vermaelen is because his contract in Barcelona is about to expire. If he is introduced, he only needs to discuss personal treatment.Moreover, he and Fellaini are teammates in the Belgian national team. After seeing Fellaini's success, he is also interested in joining the Far East team.
But the only thing that makes the Taishan team feel uneasy is the glass attribute of his body.After all, he has only played 5 games since he played for Barcelona for 53 seasons. Compared with him, Bell, the famous glass man in La Liga, can be regarded as an iron man.
However, in the latest season, Vermaelen did not suffer from any major injuries, and according to the medical examination report provided by his agent, Vermaelen is currently in very good health.
In addition to Vermaelen, the alternative foreign aid for the signing team is the Brazilian player Moises. He is a midfielder and currently plays for the Brazilian giants Palmeiras, but he still has a contract. If the Taishan team introduces him, the estimated cost is about 600 million euros.
One is a defender that the team urgently needs, and the other is a dispensable midfielder; one is a famous star who plays for a European giant, and the other is a lesser-known foreign player in Brazil; one does not need to pay a transfer fee, and the other costs at least 600 million euros.It is almost clear at a glance which is better.
The signing team is established by the club by drawing elite personnel from various departments. In addition to the team's coach, the members also include financial personnel, administrative personnel from the external relations department and the marketing department.After all, determining the signing target is only the first step, and the subsequent negotiations and transfer procedures will be more troublesome.
The recruitment process of state-owned enterprises is very cumbersome.First of all, the signing team first provides the target, and then the coaching staff of the team discusses and determines the candidate, and submits it to the club office meeting for review, and then reports it to the club board of directors for approval, and finally to the investor State Grid for approval.The last two steps are basically a chapter and a process.The most important link is in the first three steps.
Judging from the experience in recent years, the club already has a mature and standardized mechanism for signing. Under normal circumstances, the foreign aid candidates determined by the signing team will not be opposed by the team's coaching staff.If the coaching staff of the team does not object, there is no need for debate at the club office meeting.
In other words, for foreign aid in recent years, after the signing team is confirmed, they go directly to the process and start preparing for negotiations.
But this time, there was an accident.
The signing team reported the signing target to the coaching staff, and the coaching staff held a special meeting for discussion.
Hao Wei and Pep are members of the signing team, so the situation of the signing targets is also introduced by Hao Wei combined with video data.
"The above is the basic situation of Vermaelen. In fact, as a well-known star, his popularity is no lower than that of Fellaini. Practice has proved that the introduction of Fellaini is very successful, and we also have reasons to believe that Vermaelen will definitely have a second spring! If everyone has no objections, let's hurry up and follow the procedure, because not only us, but also several teams in the Japanese J-League and South Korea's K-League have also taken a fancy to Vermaelen. We are in close contact. We have to race against time!"
After Hao Wei finished his introduction, he emphasized the urgency of time.
Li Xiaopeng turned his attention to the members of the coaching staff: "What's your opinion?"
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, but no one expresses an opinion.After all, Vermaelen's name is there, a world-class star who has played for Arsenal and Barcelona, and there is no transfer fee. This is a good thing that can't be found even with a lantern!
"If everyone has no opinion, then..." Li Xiaopeng was about to speak.
Gao Yuan suddenly raised his hand.
"Hey, Xiao Gao, do you have something to say?" Li Xiaopeng asked.
Gao Yuan has been staring at the top of Vermaelen's head in the video, and studied for a long time before confirming his opinion.
He didn't express his opinion directly, but first asked Hao Wei: "Director Hao, is this video material recently shot?"
"Yes, this is the latest situation of Vermaelen provided by his agent, so that we can confirm his status through the latest video recording." Hao Wei didn't understand why Gao Yuan asked such a question, but he still replied.
"Vermaelen is not in great shape and I think he has a big injury risk."
"How did you see that? It looks good in the video recording."
"The video materials provided by the agent are of course edited. Just looking at the video clips, any player is no worse than Ronaldo and Messi!"
