Chapter 62 The Late Gremandy
"Damn thief! The police in Marseille are too inaction..." Gremandy complained as he was looking for his seat. "Sorry, get out of the way."
He bent down and finally squeezed into his seat. He sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. Today's Verrodm Stadium is full, there are too many people, and this damn winter rain. Damn thief. In order to avoid the trouble of finding a parking space, he took a taxi. When he got out of the car to pay the fare, he touched his wallet, but it was empty. Out of his knowledge of the city of Marseille, he immediately knew that his wallet had been stolen. In Marseille, the most famous thing besides their football was the abhorrent pickpocket. Fortunately, he still has dozens of euros of change, otherwise he can't even afford the fare.
"What the hell." Thinking of the way the taxi driver looked at him just now, he simply suspected that he wanted to ride the 'overlord car'. Gremandy was depressed for a while. He had only retired for a few years, and no one knew him?
"A scout is not famous as a player." Gremandy laughed at himself.
That's right. He is a scout now. When it comes to Arsenal's scouting system in France, I have to mention him now.
Gremandy, the cool-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so. After Vieira and Petit arrived, his position slowly moved back to the guard line. Because of the existence of the 'five old' on the back line, Gremandy gradually lost his main position, and he was squeezed into the right back bench position. After the 01-02 season, he began to wander around at the age of 30. Dane, the vice chairman of Arsenal, introduced him to the Colorado Rapids in the United States. When he first arrived in the United States, he unexpectedly chose to retire. Later, he returned to his homeland and worked as a football director in a French third-League club. A year later, the club declared bankruptcy, and he reinvested himself in Wenger's account as a scout.
There are many rumors about Gremandy. It is said that he has a wide range of hobbies, including watching British POPSTARS talent shows (like 'Happy Boys' and 'Super Girls'). Like the amateur habits of most Arsenal players, he is good at reading history books and likes Napoleon in Malaysia. Back to the story of the expedition to Russia. Like most French, he was also keen on playing the piano with a vassal style, and when he played at Arsenal, he passed on this hobby to Adams to help him quit drinking. HIS FAVORITE BAND IS TEXAS, BECAUSE THE BEAUTIFUL FEMALE SINGER IS A SENANA FANS. Of course, Maria. Kelly is not only Zhang Liangying's favorite, but also Graymandy's favorite.
Gremandy also likes to invest in stocks. He said, 'The change of stock speculation is too exciting.' However, when talking about his future, he affirmed that I want to be an 'excellent scout'!
※※※※※※※※※
In fact, he has a bright future in the position of scouting. In the view of the British media, Gremandi is fully qualified to be an excellent Arsenal scout.
Arsenal coach Wenger is good at discovering the talent of young players, which is inseparable from Arsenal's scouting system. The Sun once reported the qualities necessary to become an Arsenal scout:
1. I used to be a professional player and have a good understanding of the necessary qualities of players;
2. Very dedicated, perseverance and high enthusiasm for work;
3. Understand the football culture in the area of responsibility;
4. Good connections, especially with the coach of the local club youth team;
5. Healthy physical condition, often need to fly in the sky;
6. Learn about the " Arsenal way";
7. With the basic ability of detective, sometimes you need to know information such as player brokers and contracts, and also know whether there are competitors who are paying attention to the demon;
8. A certain affinity requires a good relationship between players, parents and clubs;
9. Have personality.
Obviously, Gremandi is the natural Arsenal scout in the Sun.
After becoming a scout, he helped Arsenal find a young handsome man. In 2003, Gremandy helped Arsenal take a boy named Clichy from the French Cannes Club to Arsenal for only 250,000 euros. Clichy also won Arsenal's 03-04 season. He was only 18 years old at that time, and he was also the youngest member of the championship team in the history of the Premier League. Nowadays, Clichy has grown rapidly and is praised as Ashley by fans and the media. Cole's successor.
This acquisition obviously made Gremandy have a good impression on Wenger, and Gremandy is also more motivated. He took a selfie and asked Wenger to rest assured to hand over the player market in Ligue 1. He will definitely do it well.
※※※※※※※※※
Now, Gremandi has fallen in love with Monaco's Togo striker Adebayor. This time, he came to Verrodm Stadium to watch the performance of the visiting team's 21-year-old striker Adebayor. He has been paying attention to Adebayor for a long time, and he knows the story of this Togolese very well. At the age of 13, Adebayo began his career at Lome Athletic Club, playing for the club's U15 echelon. Two years later, a scout from Metz, a famous French youth training base, found the striker with a bamboo pole and took him to France for systematic training. In this way, 15-year-old Adebayor came to France as a 'half-finished product' and played for Metz's first team for the first time in 2001, Adebayor scored 15 goals in 44 games. Adebayor's potential could not escape the eyes of the big club. In 2003, the Togolese joined Monaco. That season, he scored two goals in 10 Champions League games and helped Monaco, led by Deschamp, reach the Champions League finals.
Since 2003, Adebayor has really come to Gremandi's sight and has been paying attention to this Togo striker for two years. He feels that it's almost done. This boy is fully capable of gaining a foothold in Arsenal. If possible, he will suggest that Arsenal take Adebayor when they make a winter transfer.
※※※※※※※※※
Gremandy sat down in his seat. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw that the other fans around him looked at him with a strange look.
Gremandy looked at himself doubtfully. There was nothing special about it.
"Brother. I didn't miss anything." At this time, a fan also squeezed over breathlessly, and the others immediately looked at the man with the same eyes.
"Hey, look there." The man's friend smiled and pointed to the scoreboard on the court.
The fan let out a whine, and he hugged his head with a painful look, "My God, what a wonderful place I missed."
Other people immediately looked sympathetic. They are also fans. If they also miss all this, they will definitely be annoyed.
Gremandy also looked up. He looked at the scoreboard, and then his eyes widened, and there was a weak moan in his mouth.
It shows that the score on the field is Marseille 1:0 Monaco, and the goal time is 12 seconds!
That's right! It's really twelve seconds!
Damn it, I missed such a memorable goal.
※※※※※※※※※
Gremandi was also a little lucky to be annoyed. Fortunately, the goal was scored by the Marseille team. If Adebayor, the target he wanted to pay attention to, hit it would be even more regretful.
At this time, he took another look at the scoreboard, which showed the name of the goal scorer: ZHANG!
He was stunned for a moment. He was still a little impressed by the name. Marseille head coach Fernandez signed an amateur player from China, which once caused a burst of sarcasm and ridicule from the media. However, the subsequent development surprised everyone. This surname is Zhang's No. 27 player of Marseille, continuous They scored twice in two games.
During this period, Gremandi has been in the UK. As soon as he returned to France, he heard about what happened in Marseille. However, this did not attract much attention to him. Like many French people, as soon as they heard whether Zhang Yang was a Chinese player or an amateur player, they subconsciously thought that Zhang Yang's strength was not good. Even if Gremandy is a scout, he can't avoid vulgarity.
However, at this moment, when he saw the name of the goal scorer displayed on the scoreboard, Gremandy was surprised and wanted to know the young man's interest.
"This is so interesting." Gremandy touched his chin and said, "This is the boy's fifth goal in three consecutive games."
He took out his notebook, turned it to the marked page, and wrote Zhang Yang's name.
There are already three names on it. One of them is circled with a red pen, which is Adebayor's name, which means that this is the focus of this observation; the other two are the names of Ribery and Nasri. The two main players in the Marseille midfield have aroused the interest of Arsenal, and Wenger is especially Let Gremandy observe Nasri. As for Ribery, Gremandy recommended it to Wenger.
Now, with the temporary addition of publicity, there are four names on this page, one from Monaco and three from Marseille. Adebayo, Nasri and Ribery are planned, and publicity is purely Gremandy's temporary intention.
Now, Gremandi's greatest curiosity is how Marseille scored the opening goal in the first 12 seconds. He wants to see what role the No. 27 player of the Marseille team named Zhang played in this goal. What kind of characteristics are reflected and what is eye-catching?
※※※※※※※※※
An attack by Monaco, Merian split the middle, Maicon assisted, and the Brazilian international made a right foot cross. Adebayo received the ball, and he tried to play the far corner, but under the close defense of Taivo, his shot was out of place.
Gramandi shook his head. This was Adebayor's first shot after he came to his seat and sat down to watch the ball.
The state of Togolese people today seems to be very ordinary. Not excited enough.
Gremandi's eyes turned to the other side, and the No. 27 player of Marseille's performance was even worse. In these more than 20 minutes, he didn't get a shot.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the young man had scored a goal just twelve seconds after the start of the game, Gremandy would not have paid attention to the Chinese young man at all, because he was almost invisible.
Marseilles took the initiative on the court, but at this time, Marseille really performed well on the court, and it was another striker Niang who took on the offensive responsibility.
Deschamps bit his fingers and was thinking about countermeasures. After the restart, the Monaco team did not seem to have come out of the opening 12 seconds. More importantly, the Marseille team was stimulated by scoring goals at the beginning of the game. The Marseilles were very angry and a little unforgiving. If it hadn't been for Monaco's good performance in the back line and goalkeeper Roma, another goal would have been conceded.
Twenty-seven minutes have passed, and the score on the court is still 1-0, with the home team Marseille leading.
