Chapter 228 New Season Next 2
Fernandez said in an interview with OM TV, "We will introduce a heavyweight player."
Subsequently, the media broke the news that Marseille had contacted the agent of Liverpool's Spanish striker Moreentes.
This immediately caused a sensation in French football. It is true that Molentes is an outcast of Real Madrid. However, Spanish players are still very popular in Ligue 1. Especially in the Champions League in the 2003/2004 season, Molentes helped Monaco reach the final, which made the Spanish striker very uncomfortable. French fans like it.
However, just as Fernandez sharpened his knife and launched the Morentes acquisition war, a new target appeared in his sight.
Argentine captain Solin.
The 30-year-old left-footed Solin plays for Villarreal in Spain. He has excellent defensive ability on the sidelines and can also play a big role in assists. Last season, Villarreal reached the semi-finals in the Champions League and was finally eliminated by Arsenal. Solin scored eight goals in 56 La Liga games.
※※※※※※※※※
Solin transferred to Juventus after winning the World Youth Championship with the Argentine under-20 youth team at the age of 19, and then moved to the riverbed, Brazil Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte, Lazio, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Villarreal, now Argentina. The captain decided to break up with Villarreal and is looking for the eighth club in his career.
Although Solin is only 172cm tall, he is strong, has excellent defense, and has good assist ability. Many clubs are very interested in him. Being able to become Argentina's captain in the German World Cup also shows Solin's strength.
Marseilles respects side attack, and the left attack is their specialty, although the team already has Taivo. But considering that Taiwo is too young, it is really necessary to buy a more powerful and experienced veteran. More importantly, Villarreal is also willing to let Solin go and will not set up too many obstacles in the transfer fee. There will not be too many funds for this deal. Solin is the left foot player, and the left road is his main activity area. Whether it is the left-back or the left-back in the 442 formation, he can be competent and play 3 Take care of the left wing of a whole edge in the 52 formation. Under Peckelman, he still plays back, which is definitely a value-added player. If he can be brought in against Argentina, it will be a very cost-effective deal.
※※※※※※※※※
The next thing is very simple. Marseille contacted Solin's agent and Villarreal Club to show his interest in the captain of Argentina. Solin originally planned to go to Hamburg in the Bundesliga, but the appearance of the Ligue 1 giant Marseille gave him a new choice. Compared with Hamburg, Marseille's huge advantage is You can play in the Champions League. This makes Solin more inclined to join Marseille. As for Villarreal, it makes no difference for them to sell Solin to Hamburg or Marseille. Moreover, if there is some competition, the transfer fee can be higher.
The head coach of Marseille, Fernandez, made a clean move this time. The two sides quickly negotiated their personal treatment and then signed directly. The contract between Marseille and Solin is three years. The Ligue 1 giants paid a transfer fee of 3.5 million euros to Villarreal. Solin's annual salary is about 2 million euros, which does not include bonuses. Undoubtedly, this is a great deal for the Marseille team.
※※※※※※※※※
The battle for Marseilles to win the Argentine captain was clean and neat. Before the French media could react, the official website of the Marseille Club had announced that the Argentine captain had joined.
Only then did the French media recover. They calculated an account for Marseille. Mavuba, Zubar, plus the current Solin, Marseille has quietly added three stars in this transfer market. Mavuba is praised by the French media as 'Little Maclerle', and Zubar is praised by the French media as 'Little Tula'. M', now here comes the active captain of the Argentine national team, plus the legendary Molentes. In addition, don't forget the trident combination of Zhang Yang, Ribery and Nasri, as well as the veteran Yankele. People suddenly found that Marseille's strength has made great progress compared with last season. The team said this season The goal is the league championship, which doesn't seem to be bragging.
When someone comes, someone wants to leave.
※※※※※※※※※
The arrival of Mavuba was most affected by the team's original substitute midfielder Fabio. Celestini, a player who just transferred to Marseille from La Liga team Levante last year, realized that his prospects for Marseille were not optimistic and took the initiative to apply for a transfer.
Fernandez did not give it to Fabio. Celestini's departure set up obstacles, and La Liga team Real Betis spent 1.5 million euros to get Fabio. Celestini.
In addition, the arrival of Zubar also means that the team's substitute central defender Alan. Cantarell's departure enters the countdown, and Fabio. Celestini and the team chase are different. Cantarell has no chasers, which also makes Fernandez's idea of exchanging some money from Cantarell unrealistic. Cantarell's transfer is temporarily deadlocked.
※※※※※※※※※
Morentus's transfer is not yet in sight, but someone took the initiative to find Fernandez and apply to leave the team.
In the match with Fiorentina, Marseille had a wide range of rotation in the second half, but even so, Niang only got less than ten minutes of playing time.
Two days later, Niangdi's agent found the Marseille club, hoping that Marseille head coach Fernandez could give his players a clear statement.
The reason for the agent is very simple: you see, my player's strength is not bad. This is your main scorer in the first half of last season. Even in the second half of the season, it is also a very important member of the team's offensive line. Now, after only one summer, my players seem to have no place in the team. Now In the front line of Marseille, there are Zhang Yang, Yankele, and Niang. You are chasing Morentes now. Where will this put my players? Is it a little unreasonable? And my player is only 27 years old now. How can he be on the bench all the time?
The person who received the agent was Fernandez. The head coach of Marseille first affirmed Niang's contribution to the team and said that he was not dissatisfied with Niang. The playing time of a warm-up match did not say anything. Fernandez said that he still attaches great importance to Niang, and he still has a position in his future plan. During the conversation, everyone smiled, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very friendly and harmonious.
But Niang's agent bit the problem of Marseilles chasing Morentes, and even did not hide his intention. To prove that the team still attaches importance to Niang's practice is to end the pursuit of Morentes. He insists that his players can bear Marseille. The team's goal is an important task.
Fernandez's face turned cold.
※※※※※※※※※
"...Morentes's transfer? ...You know, now a lot of transfer news is nonsenseed by the media..."
Niang's agent sneered in his heart. He was an agent. How could he not know about these transfers and prevaricate me with such words? Don't think that I can't see your plan clearly. You are chasing Morentes, but you are worried about hitting the wall again while trying to keep Niang for a rainy day. Is this fair to my players?
Fernandez does have such a plan. As the head coach, his behavior is beyond reproach. It's just that for Niang, it's unfair. Is there absolute fairness in this world? If Niang blames himself for his poor strength, otherwise, the main position will not be robbed by Zhang Yang.
Of course, Fernandez will not stop the pursuit of Morentes, and Niang's agent will not give up and directly proposed that if the team does not pay attention to his players, his players will apply for a transfer.
Fernandez knew that this was a shame. Even if Niang did not take the initiative to apply for a transfer, he would not leave this discordant bomb in the locker room.
Since Nion is sure to transfer, Fernandez now has to consider selling the Senegalese international at an acceptable price and concentrating funds to win Morentes.
※※※※※※※※※
A few days later, Marseille played another warm-up match against Ligue 2 team Metz. At the end of last season, Metz ranked last and was relegated.
In this game, the final score was 2:0. Marseille defeated the opponent with two goals. Zhang Yang still did not score, but he created a penalty. Moreover, in this game, Zhang Yang's luck was also quite bad, with two shots hitting the post and beam.
Although there is no goal, Zhang Yang's performance is still satisfactory to Fernandez. After a summer vacation, it is not so easy for players to find their best form. Take your time.
Three days later, Marseille's official website announced that the team's French top scorer Niang officially transferred to Ligue 1 team Monaco for 5 million euros. The club's official website also routinely thanked Niang for his contribution to the team over the past season and wished him a good performance in the new team.
At the same time, central defender Alan. Cantarell finally asked for it. The Ligue 2 team Strasbourg is willing to bid 500,000 euros. 500,000 is also money. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Fernandez immediately nodded. Strasbourg was very happy. They only spent 500,000 euros to get this Ligue 1 central defender.
Sell Alan. Cantarel, sell Niang, sell Fabio. Celestini, Marseille made a total of 7 million euros.
And it cost 9 million euros to buy Mabuba, 3 million euros to buy Zubar, and 3.5 million euros to buy Solin.
Now, Fernandez still holds 12.5 million euros in his hand, and there is no pressure to buy Morents. The whole market is valued at 7 million euros for Morendless.
Now, it mainly depends on the personal will of the Spanish striker, whether to return to La Liga to join Valencia or Villarreal or to the Ligue 1 with happy memories to join the Marseille team.
※※※※※※※※※
In the end, Morentés was emotionally unable to face Real Madrid and became an opponent in the league. In addition, his success in Ligue 1 Monaco also made him naturally fond of Marseille's invitation.
After hitting the wall on Trezeguet, Fernandez finally found the field at Morentes. He defeated Valencia and Villarreal and took Morentes for a transfer fee of 8 million euros. Signed for three years.
Although Fernandez still has more than 9 million euros left in his hand, and the transfer market is still open, for Marseille, the first game of the new season is coming.
On July 25, 2006, Marseille announced the list of players for the new season and the players' jersey numbers. Although some may leave and some will come in the subsequent transfer, this is the basic framework and lineup of the team.
