Chapter 143 He hasn't retired yet?
Atletico Madrid won two domestic championships in Spain. Players with many appearances are very popular. The capable general is very strong and the future of young players is promising. Among them, Reyes is the special one.
Among the many transfer quotes the club received, few clubs are looking to buy Reyes. The most important thing is that Reyes performs unstable on the court. Compared with other main players, Reyes is much worse. Reyes has not performed well in several games throughout the season.
Wansheng gave Reyes a lot of opportunities.
In many games, even if Reyes performed poorly, he still won the game. It can be said that in the entire team, Reyes has few players who perform averagely and can still have a lot of playing time.
This may also be because Reyes can play as a wing forward. Whenever there is a shortage of people on the wing, Reyes can always play.
But overall, Reyes' performance was not ideal, which is why not many clubs want to buy Reyes.
Reyes' ability is recognized. When he performs well occasionally, it is also amazing, but he is capable but never shows it. Which coach can have the confidence to use such a player?
Reyes is known to the world for his outstanding performance at the 2003 UAE World Youth Championship. At that time, he was known as the "Spanish Gemini" together with Torres.
In the 2003-2004 season, Sevilla slaughtered Real Madrid 4-1, Reyes shone brightly. In the game, he assisted his teammates twice in scoring, and he also played Louis Figo with his wonderful and dexterous actions on the left wing again and again.
With his outstanding performance in Sevilla, Arsenal won the attention of many giants. In the winter of 2004, Arsenal won the Spanish new generation of gold with his left foot.
But in Arsenal, Reyes was unable to find his state and his true position.
In the summer of 2007, Reyes officially returned to La Liga and joined Atletico Madrid. After another training session with loan to Benfica, his performance was slightly better, but he still couldn't do it.
After Wan Sheng coached Atletico Madrid, he gave Reyes a lot of opportunities, but his unstable performance also allowed Reyes' career to continue to decline.
Wan Sheng felt very sorry for Reyes.
Reyes has a strong ability, a little lower mental attribute, but the impact is generally not that great. This may be related to his confidence, but until now, Wan Sheng has to admit that his use of Reyes has failed.
Such Reyes will definitely not receive much attention. In the influential media evaluation of Europe, Reyes's value has dropped to 5 million euros, which is really a bit "miserable" for a young and 28-year-old player.
At this moment, Sevilla asked to buy Reyes?
Seeing Sevilla's transfer quotation news, Wan Sheng felt it was very unusual and there was no need to ask more questions. It must be that Reyes wanted to leave. The two sides had some private negotiations, otherwise Sevilla would not have come to buy it on his own.
Wan Sheng was also very angry when other clubs contacted the players privately, but then he thought that he had done a lot of such things, not to mention that the other party was only contacting Reyes.
Wan Sheng had thought about selling Reyes before, but in the team's lineup, there was only one excellent wing forward Ozil.
People like Raul Garcia, Isco, Mario Suarez and others are not pure wing forwards. They are better at the back or midfielder.
Reyes is a 'not quite outstanding' and comprehensive full-time winger, which is very important in the team.
If Reyes leaves, the team will find a strong full-back replacement.
It is definitely impossible for young players. Inexperienced young players can only be used as substitutes for the time being, slowly accumulate experience and use young players as main players as players is a very risky behavior. It will lead to unstable performance of the team and affect the performance of many competitions in the near future.
So Wan Sheng had never thought about letting Reyes leave before. Now seeing Sevilla's transfer offer, he began to consider finding a powerful wing forward again.
Before that, Wan Sheng had to call to confirm, and he called Sevilla coach Alvarez directly.
Alvarez's life in Seville was a bit difficult. Two years ago, he took over the coaching post from Manolo Gimenes to coach Seville. At that time, Seville had bid farewell to the Champions League, but hopes of winning the Cup del Rey remained.
Finally, under his leadership, Sevilla completed a record of 6 wins and 4 losses in 10 league games, and led Sevilla to the final of the Copa del Rey and defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 to win the championship. At the same time, Sevilla also qualified for the Champions League last season, so the team decided to renew his contract with him for one year.
Alvarez can continue to lead Sevilla to the UEFA Champions League qualification, and it is definitely not a problem to get a long-term contract, but this season, Sevilla has only won the 7th place in the league and can barely participate in the Europa League.
The club is naturally very dissatisfied with the team's performance. Alvarez did not leave directly, the best result was already.
The senior executives of the Sevilla Club discussed it and finally decided to give Alvarez another one year.
This summer, Alvarez will work hard.
In order to make Sevilla more competitive next season, he must use limited transfer funds to enhance the team's strength more.
Reyes is Alvarez's goal.
In Atletico Madrid, Reyes' performance is also very average, but Sevilla's transfer funds are limited, so buying Reyes at a low price is actually a good choice. After all, Reyes' strength is still worthy of recognition. In addition, Reyes is a player trained by Sevilla's youth training. His return to Sevilla will also receive support from fans.
When he received the call from Wansheng, Alvarez was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wansheng to call him directly.
The two are old acquaintances and don't say anything unrelated. When Wan Sheng asked about Reyes, Alvarez admitted, "I hope to get Reyes. Actually, I also hope to buy players with more stable shapes, but we are not Atletico Madrid..."
Alvarez made a small joke and heard Wansheng make a bigger joke, "Maybe we can make your transfer funds abundant. Reyes is gone, we need a replacement, and Navas is good..."
Alvarez was silent directly.
Navas?
Of course it is impossible!
Reyes and Navas are much different now. Both of them are not at the same level. Reyes can only sell for 5 million euros at most, and four Reyes can't even be able to switch to one Navas. Moreover, Navas is definitely Sevilla's "non-sale product". If you sell Navas at this time, Sevilla will be in danger next season.
But Alvarez knew that Sevilla was interested in selling Navas, and Atletico Madrid would never mind adding some transfer fees.
Wan Sheng's words sound like a joke, but there is a lot of authenticity in it. In the end, Alvarez can only say, "...unless you exchange Ozil."
Ha...joke!
The two of them put down the phone tacitly.
Wan Sheng knew it was time to find a wing forward for the team. It was not easy to buy a strong wing forward. The first thing he thought of was Atletico Madrid's youth training.
Atletico Madrid youth training is rich in young geniuses. Now many players in the team are "graduated" at Atletico Madrid youth training. It doesn't cost any money to explore geniuses from the team. Instead, it is good news for club youth training, which means that their work is effective.
The current Atletico Madrid youth team has a genius - Saul.
Saul is not a pure Atletico Madrid player. He used to belong to Real Madrid, but when he was 12 years old, Saul joined Atletico Madrid. Few people know the specific reasons, but he did not poach at Atletico Madrid, but decided to come to Atletico Madrid himself.
Of course, Wansheng doesn't care about a child's voice.
Through the football training master system, you can know that Saul is an excellent genius, and his potential for many offensive attributes has very high praise.
Saul's personal abilities are also very good, and the comprehensive ability evaluation of '85' also shows some problems.
Wan Sheng still has some impression of Saul's name. He knows that this Spanish genius will become famous quickly in a few years... But not now, nor next season. Saul's biggest problem is that he is too young, and he is only seventeen years old this year.
Seventeen years old and a newcomer who has not participated in any professional league, no matter how good his potential is, he will never be able to replace Reyes as the team's straight forward selection. That is really unrealistic.
Fleet forward!
Fleet forward!
Wan Sheng thought about it for two days and checked a lot of excellent wingers information in the five major leagues, but couldn't find anyone who could buy it and was suitable for Atletico Madrid.
It is already the end of May, and the final of the UEFA Champions League is about to begin, and it seems that the whole world is reporting on this game.
The decisive battles are Barcelona and Manchester United.
Barcelona cannot compete with Atletico Madrid in domestic competitions in Spain, but their strength is worthy of recognition. This year, they reached the Champions League final.
Manchester United also performed well. They passed the hurdles and entered the finals.
Barcelona is a Spanish team, and Spanish media are naturally indispensable to reports on the Champions League final. Needless to say, there are many detailed analysis of Manchester United.
Before the finals began, Manchester United coach Ferguson won an award, and he was elected the coach of the year selected by the League Coach Committee, which is also the third time Ferguson has won this honor in his coaching career.
After leading Manchester United to the 18th league championship, Ferguson has won two major awards for the Year, the previous major award was the Premier League's best coach.
The coach of the year selected by the League Coach Committee was voted by all coaches in the English Division IV Professional League, so Ferguson also cherished this honor very much. "This is simply great. Being selected by his peers as the best of the season is a great honor. I am very happy to be selected as the coach of the year on the League Coach Committee."
In addition to the coach of the year, Ferguson, who has led Manchester United to more than 2,000 games, also won the Best Contribution Award. In response, he said: "The Best Contribution Award from the Coach Committee is a great honor for me. The competition in the Premier League this season is very fierce. I would like to congratulate all the Premier League and low-level coaches. Everyone has done a good job this season."
While explaining his award, Ferguson did not forget to thank the League Coaching Committee that gave him the award: "The work of the Coaching Committee is doing a great job, and we have to believe that we are doing the right thing, and we are now increasingly recognized, and it all stems from the great contribution we have made."
League Coaching Committee Chairman Howard Wilkinson praised Ferguson, "Justice Ferguson deserves this award. At the critical moment of this season, he once again demonstrated his coaching talent. He not only coached for a long time in the world's largest club, but also continued to win in his 35-year coaching career."
Chief Executive of the League Coaching Committee, Bevin also said, "Tonight is a holiday for the fourth-tier professional league coaches, and it is a great honor to be recognized by their peers and competitors. Whether from a personal or club perspective, Sir Ferguson's achievements this season are extraordinary. On behalf of the League Coaching Committee, I wish Ferguson and Manchester United players the best level in Wembley's Champions League final. If they can win the championship in this event locally, it will be a huge achievement."
Among the praise and touting, Ferguson must face the Champions League final.
That's a difficult problem.
Manchester City must make the best efforts to do this.
Many outsiders also accepted interviews to comment on the upcoming Champions League final. Wan Sheng also accepted the interview. What the media most hoped to hear from Wan Sheng was obviously Barcelona and Manchester United. Which team can win the Champions League final.
Wan Sheng was stunned when he heard the reporter's question and asked, "He hasn't retired yet?"
The English reporter next to him turned black.
Wan Sheng reacted and felt that he had said something stupid, but continued to smile, "...I think he is very old, it's time to retire."
"He also won the best coach? Congratulations. But I still said that, he should retire."
"I think if he decides to retire now, the Champions League final will be the best farewell ceremony. At that time, all Manchester United players will definitely hope to send him off with the championship... But if, I mean, he doesn't want to retire, then Barcelona should win!"
"That's how I see it."
"The decision is in his hands. If you ask me which team can win the championship, it's better to ask him. He will give the answer in person." (To be continued.)
