long live the king

Fernandez said in an interview with om TV, "We will introduce a heavyweight player."

Subsequently, the media broke the news that the Marseille team had contacted the agent of Liverpool's Spanish striker Morientes.

This immediately caused a sensation in French football. It is true that Morientes is an outcast of Real Madrid, but Spanish players are still very popular in Ligue 2003, especially in the Champions League in the 2004/[-] season. Si helped Monaco reach the final, which made the Spanish striker very popular with French fans.

However, just as Fernandez was sharpening his sword and launching the acquisition of Morientes, a new target appeared in his sight.

Argentina captain Sorin.

The 30-year-old left-footer Sorin, who plays for Spain's Villarreal, has been excellent in defense from the wing, while also being instrumental in assists.Last season, Villarreal reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and was eventually eliminated by Arsenal.Sorin has scored eight goals in 56 La Liga appearances.

※※※※※※※※※※

Sorin moved to Juventus after winning the World Youth Championship with Argentina's under-19 youth team at the age of 20, and then moved to River Plate, Brazil e, Lazio, Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain and Villarreal, Now the Argentina captain has decided to part ways with Villarreal and is looking for his eighth club in his career.

Although Sorin is only 172cm tall, he has a strong body, excellent defense and good assist ability. Many clubs are very interested in him.Being able to become the captain of Argentina in the World Cup in Germany also shows the strength of Sorin.

The Marseille team respects the wing attack, and the left attack is their forte, although the team already has Taiwo.But considering that Taiwo is too young, it is indeed necessary to buy a more capable and experienced veteran.More importantly, Villarreal is also willing to let Sorin go, and will not set up too many obstacles in the transfer fee. The funds for this transaction will not be too much. It is his main area of ​​activity. Whether it is the left back or the left forward in the 442 formation, he is competent, and he can also play the left wing that takes care of the entire side in the 352 formation.Under Pekerman, he also played as a defensive midfielder. This is definitely a valuable player. If Argentina can be introduced to play against him, it will be a very cost-effective deal.

※※※※※※※※※※

The next thing is very simple.Marseille contacted Sorin's agent and the Villarreal club to express their interest in the Argentine captain. Sorin originally planned to play for the Hamburg club in the Bundesliga. Compared with Hamburg, Marseille's huge advantage is that it can play in the Champions League.This makes Sorin more inclined to join Marseille. As for Villarreal, it makes no difference whether Sorin is sold to Hamburg or Marseille.Moreover, if there is some competition, the transfer fee can be higher.

Marseille coach Fernandez made a clean move this time, and the two sides quickly negotiated personal treatment, and then signed directly.The contract between Marseille and Sorin lasts for three years. The Ligue 350 giants paid Villarreal a transfer fee of 200 million euros. Sorin's annual salary is around [-] million euros, which does not include bonuses.Undoubtedly, for the Marseille team, this is a value-for-money deal.

※※※※※※※※※※

The Marseille team won the Argentine captain's battle cleanly. Before the French media could react, the Marseille club's official website had already announced the Argentine captain's joining.

Only then did the French media come to their senses. They settled an account for Marseille. Mavuba, Zubal, and now Sorin, Marseille have quietly made up three players in the transfer market. The star, Mawuba was hailed as 'Little Makelele' by the French media, Zubal was hailed as 'Little Thuram' by the French media, and now there is the active captain of the Argentine national team, plus the legendary Morun Tess, in addition, don't forget the trident combination of Zhang Yang, Ribery and Nasri, and the veteran player Jan Koller. People have discovered that the strength of the Marseille team has made great progress compared with last season. The team said The goal of this season is the league championship, which does not seem to be bragging.

Some people come, some people have to leave.

※※※※※※※※※※

Mawuba's arrival, the most affected is the team's original substitute midfielder Fabio.Celestini, a player who just transferred to Marseille from the La Liga team Levante last year, realized that his prospects in the Marseille team were not optimistic, so he took the initiative to apply for a transfer.

Fernandez did not give Fabio.Celestini's departure set an obstacle, and La Liga side Real Betis spent 150 million euros to get Fabio.Celestini.

In addition, the arrival of Zubbar also means that the team's backup central defender Alan.Cantarell's departure entered the countdown, and Fabio.Unlike Celestini and the team chasing, Cantarell has no chasers, which also makes it unrealistic for Fernandez to exchange some money from Cantarell. There will be a stalemate for a while.

※※※※※※※※※※

The transfer of Morientes has not yet taken shape, but someone took the initiative to find Fernandez and applied to leave the team.

In the game against Fiorentina, Marseille made a wide range of rotations in the second half, but even so, Niang only got less than 10 minutes of game time.

Two days later, Niang's agent found the Marseille club, hoping that Marseille coach Fernandez could give his players a clear statement.

The agent's reason is simple: You see, my player is not bad. This was your main scorer in the first half of last season. Even in the second half of the season, he is also a very important member of the team's offensive line. , now, after just one summer, my players seem to have no place in the team. Now the Marseille team has Zhang Yang, Jan Kohler, and Niang. Now you are chasing Morientes again. Does it make sense to put my players where?And my player is only 27 years old now, at the age of playing, how could 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, saying that he had no dissatisfaction with Niang, and the playing time of a warm-up match did not explain anything.Fernandez said that he still attaches great importance to Niang, and there is still a place for Niang in his future plans.During the conversation, everyone was smiling, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very friendly and harmonious.

But Niang's agent insisted on the fact that the Marseille team was chasing Morientes, and even managed to hide what he meant by saying that the way to prove that the team still valued Niang was to stop chasing Morientes. Insists that his players can take on the burden of Marseille's goals.

Fernandez's face turned cold.

※※※※※※※※※※

"...The transfer of Morientes?...You also know that many of the transfer news now are made up by the media..."

Niang's agent sneered in his heart, he is an agent, how could he not know about these transfer rumors, and still use such words to prevaricate me?Don't think that I can't see your plan clearly. You are chasing Morientes, but you are worried about hitting a wall again, and at the same time, you are trying to keep Niang in case something happens.Is this fair to my players?

Fernandez did have such a plan. As the head coach, his actions are irreproachable, but it is unfair to Niang. But is there absolute fairness in this world?If Niang blamed himself, he could blame himself for his lack of strength, otherwise, Zhang Yang wouldn't have taken the main position.

Of course Fernandez will not stop chasing Morientes, and Niang's agent will not let it go. He directly proposed that if the team does not value his players, his players will apply for transfer and leave.

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.

Now that Niang is determined to transfer, what Fernandez has to consider now is to sell the Senegal international at an acceptable price, and at the same time concentrate funds to win Morientes.

※※※※※※※※※※

A few days later, the Marseille team played another warm-up match against the French second team Metz.At the end of last season, the Metz team ranked last and was relegated.

In this game, the final score was 2:0. The Marseille team defeated their opponents 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 crossbar.

Although he didn't score a goal, Fernandez was quite satisfied with Zhang Yang's performance. After a summer vacation, it is not so easy for players to find their best form, so they have to take their time.

Three days later, the Marseille Club announced on its official website that the team's French striker Niang officially transferred to the Ligue 500 team Monaco at a price of [-] 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.Finally someone wanted Cantarell. Strasbourg, the French second team, was willing to bid 50 euros to buy it. 50 is money. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Fernandez nodded immediately, and Strasbourg was very happy. They only spent 50 euros to get this Ligue [-] central defender.

Sell ​​Alan.Cantarell, sell Niang, sell Fabio.Celestini, Marseille earned a total of 700 million euros.

It cost 900 million euros to buy Mavuba, 300 million euros to buy Zubal and 350 million euros to buy Sorin.

Now, Fernandez still holds 750 million euros in his hands, and there is no pressure to buy Morientes. "All Market" estimates Morientes at 700 million euros.

Now, it mainly depends on the personal wishes of the Spanish striker, whether to return to La Liga to join Valencia or Villarreal or to come to the Ligue [-] with happy memories and join Marseille.

※※※※※※※※※※

In the end, Morientes was still emotionally unable to face Real Madrid's rivalry in the league. In addition, his success in Ligue [-] Monaco also made him naturally favor the invitation of Marseille.

After Fernandez hit a wall with Trezeguet, he finally found his place with Morientes. He defeated Valencia and Villarreal, won Morientes, and the transfer fee was 800 million EUR.Signed for three years.

Although Fernandez still has more than 900 million euros in transfer funds that have not been spent, the transfer market is still open, but for the Marseille team, the first game of the new season is coming.

On July 2006, 7, the Marseille team announced the roster of players for the new season, as well as the jersey numbers of the players. Although in the subsequent transfers, some people may leave and some people will come, but the basic framework of the team And that's it for the lineup.
