ball at foot

"Morientes, are you leaving Real Madrid this season?" Didier Deschamps looked a little miserable when he heard the news.

Morientes is someone Deschamps is very familiar with. He is the striker of Real Madrid. He was the main striker when Real Madrid won the Champions League in 98,00,02, [-], and [-]. He is also the best striker to partner with Raul.

He moved to Real Madrid because he cooperated well with Raul in the national team and was brought to Real Madrid after being given to the team by Raul.Here, he and Raúl became the final partner, leading Real Madrid to great results at the turn of the century.

But now, he is no longer the darling of Real Madrid.After the introduction of Ronaldo, Ronaldo quickly became the main center of Real Madrid. Even Raul had to make sacrifices for Ronaldo, let alone Morientes?His number and position were all given to Ronaldo, and he was dissatisfied with the bench, and now he is also seeking a transfer.

Of course, this is also related to Real Madrid's mentality of not wanting to keep him.Real Madrid has introduced a group of stars, so naturally it is necessary to ensure the absolute main position of the top stars.But Real Madrid's top stars all have big problems when it comes to stability.Morientes is a meritorious player of Real Madrid, keep him here, maybe when Ronaldo does not perform well, he may squeeze out Ronaldo's position, such a thing, Ronaldo cannot be happy, and the superstars are unhappy, It is inconsistent with Real Madrid's policy. [

But these words, Real Madrid will naturally not say it to the outside world.The reason they said for the sale of Morientes was because Morientes' image "does not meet the club's image requirements."In other words, he is not handsome enough.This kind of words is enough for Real Madrid to show its good taste and taste, and make people admire this world's number one club even more.

But this sentence does not sound so comfortable to Morientes.His contribution to Real Madrid is not small, and now he is no longer needed. It is acceptable to say that he is not capable or famous enough, but it is really hard to let people find such a far-fetched reason.

Is Ronaldo handsome?Or is it Zidane's haircut that looks great?Football players don't talk about ability, is it interesting to talk about looks?

"Morientes is now negotiating a transfer with the Bundesliga team, but they have been unable to reach an agreement because of the salary issue. I guess the Germans should not be willing to pay such a high salary. This is for us. Say, it's an opportunity."

"Are we able to pay his salary?" Didier Deschamps was very puzzled, "Real Madrid performed well in the first two years, and they paid high salaries to the players. Their salaries far exceed ours. Our highest salary is only 150. Wan, the manuscript standard is the same as that of Real Betis, and he will have to cut his salary a lot when he comes to us."

"No." Petit shook his head, "In order to get rid of him, Real Madrid has already expressed that if someone is willing to rent him, they are willing to pay part of the salary."

"How many?"

"60%." Petit shook her head.

"Aren't they too much?" Deschamps shook his head in disbelief.

I would rather pay 60% of the wages to drive the players away. This is an excessive method to treat those players who have broken face with the team, let alone use such methods to deal with their own meritorious players?

"There is only one problem now, that is, the level of the players that Real Madrid sold over the years has dropped significantly after leaving Real Madrid." Petit continued, "This has something to do with Real Madrid's emphasis on tactics, but on the other hand In other words, it is also related to the fact that what they sold were players during the downturn.”

Until 2003, the players sold by Real Madrid in a few years all dropped in level after leaving Real Madrid.Among these players, not all are old players, but also some players who are in their prime, such as Anelka, Redondo and others, who were sold off in their prime.But those sold by Real Madrid almost all performed poorly. The media even believed that the players sold by Real Madrid were cursed. As long as they left the Bernabeu, they would not perform well.

Petit's explanation is aimed at this argument.

"But the situation with Morientes is different. He was not sold because of his decline in strength, but because the club had better options. He had to do so. He has passed his prime. His strength can still make a great contribution to the team. And we have the Champions League to play, and he is also attractive enough. I think it is a good idea to loan him to our team .”

"I know how strong he is, and I would never believe in magic spells." Deschamps continued, "But I still have a problem, Pursau and Morientes are both tall. Center forward, how should the two of them carry out tactical deployment?"

"Do you have any opinion?" Petit asked back, "It's not safe to introduce Morentesha. If you can't introduce it, what can you do to make up for the lack of strikers?"

"I want to move Joey to the middle." Deschamps paused before continuing, "But instead of playing as a midfielder, I want to give him more freedom and let him play as a shadow forward."

"I seem to tell you that young players can't just play shadow forwards?" Petit raised his head, "That position is not suitable for young people."

Petit's opinion has always been stubborn. The position of the shadow forward, the active time on the court is more, and the sense of presence is strong. Many players like this question very much.But the problem is that not everyone can play this position well.The responsibility of the shadow front, they don't have clear tasks on the field like the center forward and the attacking midfielder, they are responsible for more things, so it can't be their fault that they can't cover everything.They don't have a clear division of responsibilities, but they have a lot of performance opportunities. When they are on the court, they can easily fall into a performance and game that they cannot control themselves. It is okay if they are older players. The sense of responsibility is not strong enough. Playing in such a position on the field can easily cause players to play football regardless of the overall situation. Except for the Italians' special football style and special favor for shadow forward players, other leagues have a strong preference for shadow forward players. Training is not very enthusiastic. [

"Yes, you said that young people are not suitable to play shadow forwards, but I think it depends on the person." Deschamps insisted on his own opinion, "If it is other young people, I admit that what you said is true. Reasonable. But Joey’s situation is quite special, and you know it very well. He has a strong sense of responsibility. When he is on the court, he is always trying to play some role. I don’t think he has no clear responsibilities. Such a position will hinder his performance, on the contrary, such a position will help him tap his potential."

Petit was silent for a while, and then he spoke, "His technical characteristics, playing a shadow forward is still a little bit reluctant. His running position and shooting skills are very deficient, and his passing needs to be improved a lot. Playing in the middle The ball is a lot of pressure on him."

"But in terms of his extraordinary ability, it is too wronged to stay on the side." Deschamps shook his head, "Now he is a bit out of date on the side, but with his extraordinary skills, he can adapt to the middle."

Zhao Yaning's passing skills are getting better and better. In this regard, even if he has further improvement, he will have to spend a long time honing it slowly.Moreover, in Deschamps' view, he no longer needs to put in too much effort in this area. Zhao Yaning's current extraordinary skills can almost adapt to any league and any tactic. It doesn't make much sense to him anymore.

He should pay more attention to passing, shooting, defense and other skills.If this aspect can be greatly improved, Zhao Yaning's strength will rise further, but if there is no improvement in this aspect, he can basically only bear the name of an extraordinary man for the rest of his life, but he is doing nothing.

There are not no such mediocre players. Argentina's Ortega is a typical example. He is almost unstoppable in life, but his other abilities are all messed up.In the future, there will be two such players in French football, one is Ben Arfa and the other is Mene. It's been slow, and in the end the whole career doesn't get where it should be.

"I also know that there are still some problems with his skills. Therefore, he needs more opportunities to train." Deschamps paused before speaking, "If he still stays on the side, it is difficult for his skills to improve a lot. If he is in the middle, he will have a lot more opportunities to shoot and pass, which must be of great benefit to his improvement."

"Why is it a shadow forward, not a striker or midfielder?" Petit asked rhetorically.

"Because his ability to play is not enough, so I want him to test in the middle to see which direction he will develop." Deschamps said his own thinking, "Next season, we will let Ludovic Go to the right, let Joey go to the center to form a double forward with Dado or Morientes, when playing, allow Joey to retreat sharply, Ludovic and Jerome can advance significantly, our tactics It can be more diverse." Deschamps was analyzing, "And, if he can't adapt, he can go back to the wing. There is always no harm in this kind of attempt."

"I always feel that you are bullying an honest child." Petit shook her head and smiled wryly, "Just do as you say."

If a player is willing to obey and make various sacrifices and changes, the team will naturally try and train him more.The biggest reason why Zhao Yaning can be favored by the team is not his ability, but his attitude.

This is why Deschamps is willing to make an important attempt for him.
