Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 103 Winger, I need a winger

If the next opponents all bus with Zaragoza, it is impossible to count on the opponent's own goals every time!
Nor can you put a defender in the backcourt every time you put all your eggs in one basket, and everyone else will invest in the offense.

Once or twice is okay, if more times.

Even if Zheng Long is a superman, he can't stop him!
This is a game like this one, where the goddess of luck is on Zaragoza's side to win with difficulty.

Popovich knows you can't always count on lady luck to be on your team's side.

As the head coach, he also knows the problems of the team.

The two full-backs, Doka and Romero, can't break through, and the cross is not good.

If it was before, the opponent didn't set up a bus.

The quality is not good, relying on quantity to make up.

Doka and Merome can still make do with it.

But now the opponent puts up the bus and hoards defensive players in the penalty area.

It is necessary to break through the sharp full-back to tear through the opponent's defense and send a deadly pass.

Or a full-back who is good at crossing and delivering the ball to people like Baston accurately.

Now the team lacks such players, and must take advantage of the opportunity of winter transfers to find suitable players to join as soon as possible to improve the team's offense.

Breaking through sharp fullbacks and wingers is not cheap.

The price is tens of millions of euros, which Zaragoza simply cannot afford.

After many discussions, Popovich finally selected a suitable person.

Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez!

Former Spanish international, now playing for Fiorentina in Serie A.

Joaquin was born on July 1981, 7, and is 21 years old this year.

Although he is a bit old, he has maintained a good competitive state.

He is not very fast, he is a technical winger with sharp dribbling and strong one-on-one ability.Good at crossing from the side.

Exactly the player Zaragoza needs right now.

Valdano shouted: "Joaquin's transfer is all right. But not Catavia!"

Catavia, an Argentine player, joined Valencia in 13.

He was loaned to Cordoba Football Club due to the fact that the African European quota was full.Now back to Valencia.

Born on January 1993, 1, I am 20 years old this year.Excellent technique, sharp dribbling.Young and energetic.Well done in Cordoba.

An experienced veteran, coupled with a young and energetic teenager, this is a decision Popovich has considered for a long time.

Hearing that the transfer of Katavia had not been reached, Popovich asked anxiously. "Why?"

Valdano shouted: "The Lions of Valencia are asking for 1200 million euros. The team doesn't have that much budget!"

Popovich screamed. "What? 1000 and 1 million? Catavia is not in their future plans at all. They have played two games so far, and they are still substitutes. They dare to ask for 2 million! Do they want money from Valencia? I want to go crazy!"

Valdano also shouted helplessly. "Our budget is only 800 million euros, and Joaquin's transfer fee is 180 million euros! Catavia's 1200 million euros transfer fee, we will never agree!"

Popovich yelled. "If there is no good winger, how can the team break the opponent's strict defense."

cried Valdano. "Get Joaquin's transfer first, and then I'll see if there is any suitable winger!"

Joaquin is good, but he is 34 years old.Fitness is a big issue.

Popovich is counting on Catavia to attack the opponent's defense, and then Joaquin can use his experience to help the team in some critical moments.

Now that Katavia can't come, do you expect Joaquin to attack the opponent's defense again and again?
Spain's winter transfers start on January 1nd and end on January 2st.

It is now January 1th, and there are less than 12 days left before the end of the winter transfer.

Popovich was really in a hurry.

"Look... what time is it now, the winter transfer will be closed at the end of January. The ones you read before either think that the other party's asking price is too high, or they are not useful! Do you still want Zarago Sa is promoted to La Liga! I need a winger, a winger who can be used!"

Seeing Popovich blaming himself, Valdano also became angry.

He yelled at Popovich. "You think I don't want to buy people! If I have money, I'll buy Ronaldo and Messi for you! But where did the money come from! Give me the money!"

……

When two people are cross-eyed, they are very unhappy.

The assistant knocked on the door and shouted. "Sir, Mr. Mendez is here. Do you see?"

When Valdano and Popovich heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.

What is he doing here?
Could it be because of Zheng Long's transfer?
Several clubs in La Liga have sent requests to Zaragoza to introduce Zheng Long.

But the transfer fee is only more than 1000 million euros!
Where would Valdano agree.

All rejected on the grounds that Zheng Long is not for sale!

Hearing that Mendes is coming, do those teams see that I disagree, and they want to put pressure on the players?
Valdano shouted with an ugly face. "Please come in!"

Soon, Mendes walked into the general manager's office wearing a black trench coat of Anima.

Seeing Valdano, Mendes smiled. "I heard that the team is in a difficult situation. I'm here to help you solve the problem today!"

Valdano is ready, as long as Mendes dares to threaten Zheng Long, he will make him look bad.

But when Mendes opened his mouth, he said he wanted to help Zaragoza.

Valdano froze for a moment, "What dilemma? How can you help solve it?"

It's not that I want to sell Zheng Long to make up enough transfer fee!

Mendes took out some documents from his briefcase and said, "Several companies in Huaxia want to sponsor Zaragoza. This is a letter of intent. Can you see if they are interested?"

What?
Is there a company in China that wants to sponsor Zaragoza?

Interested?
Of course I'm interested.

How can you not be interested in sending money!
Valdano hurriedly stood up, took the document, and put on a smiling face.

"Oops! The team really needs money to improve operations. Mendes really helped!"

Mendes smiled and waved his hands and said: "Hehe! In fact, many companies in China want to find Zheng Long to be their endorsement after seeing Zheng Long's outstanding performance. By the way, they also want to sponsor his team, so as to raise the reputation of the company in Europe! I'm just helping people and bringing their wishes to me!"

Valdano certainly understood what Mendez meant.

Nothing more than that, see no.

You know how beneficial it is to sign my client Zheng Long!
Hurry up and treat my clients well.

Otherwise, if Zheng Long is unhappy and leaves, don't cry with regret in the bathroom.

Valdano seems to have forgotten that he was the one who asked Zheng Long to be hidden in the snow.

he said. "Mr. Mendes, Zaragoza has always attached great importance to Zheng Long. In order to establish his prestige, he was appointed captain of the team when he was under 18! This has never happened in other teams!"

Mendes certainly wouldn't take Valdano's words seriously, not to mention that he didn't really come here today just to be a good person.

"Zaragoza's attention, Zheng Long is clear. That's why he knows that the team has encountered difficulties in offense, so he will be anxious. Help thread the needle and attract Chinese companies to sponsor the team. At the same time, please help me introduce some good ones. Winger to improve the team's current lack of attack!"

Hearing what Mendez said, Valdano asked. "Maybe Mr. Mendez has a good candidate?"

"Of course. Mr. Tony can look at the profiles of these players! It's really suitable for Zaragoza!"

Mendes puts a player profile on the table.

Head coach Popovich was very curious about what kind of player Mendes would recommend, and he reached for the information.

　In the new week, the tank will work harder.If you have a recommendation ticket, drop it over!Of course, it would be even better if there is a reward!
