Born to be a coach [soccer]

Anton gave the photographers business cards and asked them to contact his public relations team to obtain authorization for the use of portrait rights.After that, the photographers happily left - the task of the day was completed, leaving Bendtner alone in the wind.

He finally realized something, and quickly shook hands with Anton to recognize him: "Mr. Coach, hello, if I'm not mistaken..."

Anton: "You didn't admit your mistake!"

He smiled very kindly at Bendtner: "I am here to see you this time. I was entrusted by the Danish Football Association to see with my own eyes how you are doing in England."

Bendtner was stunned: "Okay, what about the interview before the transfer?"

He knows that there are teammates from the Danish national team in Sunderland, and that Sunderland will be promoted this year, so they should increase their investment to ensure that they can stay in the Premier League this year and gain a firm foothold.So Bendtner is very confident in himself, and feels that the opponent's head coach must have made a special trip for himself——

When the time comes, if Sunderland's head coach fights with professor Wenger for himself, who is better to help?

But I heard Anton continue to say: "Since you are having a good time in London, then I am relieved. I will truthfully tell the Danish Football Association about your situation."

Bendtner: ...

Even so, Anton did not embarrass Bendtner face to face, but invited him to drink a cup of coffee, and the two said goodbye to each other.Before that, Bendtner made a lot of publicity about London's "collision color" fashion this summer, and Anton was always smiling from the sidelines.

The "interview" of the Danish high center ended without a problem.

This meeting confirmed Anton's view of Bendtner: this young man is already 22 years old, but his mind is far from mature, and he is even far inferior to Anton's Henderson, Eriksson and Sander who are not yet 20 years old. Chiri et al.Mentally immature, but self-esteem is too high, such young people may have bright moments of flashes of inspiration, but they cannot perform stably.

Anton's Sunderland is not yet rich enough to take this kind of "a flash of inspiration" high price into the bag-he is more inclined to economically applicable players.

For Professor Wenger, Anton can only say sorry.

Before leaving London, Anton also visited Stamford Bridge once. Under the leadership of Ancelotti, he visited the meeting room of Chelsea Football Club.When leaving Stamford Bridge, Anton saw several people rushing away. Among them, a middle-aged man in his forties raised his head, looked at Anton, and nodded to Ancelotti.

Afterwards, Ancelotti told Anton that the man just now was Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea.

Anton had heard about the fame of the Russian plutocrat, so he nodded, not taking it to heart.

Back in Sunderland, Anton quickly found an opportunity to meet CEO Martin and assistant coach Russell.The three of them updated the progress of Xia Chuang's signings.

The plan to bring in another high center did not go well.Anton talked about his "interview" experience in London, and Martin and Russell looked at each other.Martin said, "Yeah, aren't we looking for male models?"

Russell mainly felt that it was a pity: "This kind of height, this kind of jumping, this kind of sense of grabbing points...Why is the child with such good conditions so unreliable!"

Anton pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Our old friend, "Daily Mail" thinks so too."

It turned out that just after Anton met Bendtner, Bendtner and the "Post" also had a war of words.After his "street shot" photos were released, the Post commented: "Instead of spending time and energy on these things, Nicholas might as well consider entering the fashion industry... No, the moment we saw the photos, we Decision: retract this sentence!"

Anton also has some regrets: In fact, Bendtner performed well in the Danish team's group stage in the World Cup.If he honestly doesn't act like a monster, based on his performance, it shouldn't be a problem to find someone to marry.

But now it seems that Wenger can only keep this player in his own hands.

In addition to Bendtner, several other center forwards with height and footwork considered by Sunderland all fell through.

For example, Anton once considered Robert Lewandowski, the golden boot of the Polish First Division last season. As a result, he was short-footed by Dortmund in the Bundesliga. He had already negotiated all his intentions before the opening of the summer window.

In addition, there is a young French player, Olivier Giroud, who played for the French second division team Tours last season. It is a character that Anton found through the database data mining of "Green Life".It is a pity that Sunderland has little influence in France and was quickly defeated in the competition of several clubs.In the end, Giroud transferred from Tours to Montpellier Football Club and remained in France.

Other candidates include Mandzukic of Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia. Sunderland is also a step late. The Croatian joined the Bundesliga club Bayern Munich at a price of 700 million euros, and unfortunately missed this signing.

Anton was a little depressed, thinking that it would be great if this Turner could be more reliable.

In addition, this young man once boasted that he "will surpass Ibrahimovic in the next five years."Anton thought to himself: If he can really buy Ibrahimovic, then he will be willing to buy it, provided that Barcelona is willing to sell it.

At times like this, Anton is really envious of those "local tyrants" who can wave banknotes in their hands and just buy them without thinking too much.Of course, his club can also do this, but Anton needs to provide the club with a little "coach" loan.Boss Short may not be willing, and blindly buying a lot is also against his original intention.

At this moment, Russell suddenly asked Anton: "If Vincent wants to come back, can we accept him?"

Vincent is the former Sunderland striker who just transferred to Aston Villa in the last winter window.His physical condition is still a bit behind that of a high center forward, but this player's header is good. If you really can't find a suitable signing, Vincent can also use it theoretically.

Moreover, Vincent specially "revisited his old place" a few days ago, and went back to Guangming College, saying that he was "passing by", but Russell knew that Vincent might have regrets. I want to meet Anton.

Anton wasn't there anyway.

Anton was a little bit dumbfounded. He took out his mobile phone and opened Twitter's push: "This Darren, likes all my tweets, and will send me private messages to greet me every now and then... I'm considering whether to block him."

Obviously, Villa's Europa League qualification this year was squeezed out by Sunderland, and Vincent's attitude turned 180 degrees, towards Sunderland.

Russell pondered: There is indeed no better candidate than Vincent on the market now.

Anton thought for a while but said: "The first season of a newly promoted team may not be smooth, and they face many difficulties. Just imagine, if it comes to the winter window, we are still facing the predicament of last season. What will this player think and do? "

——Should still want to go back to Vera!

Russell let out a "huh" and nodded: "You can't count on mercenaries. Let's just do it!"

As a result, there seems to be no progress in signings on the forward line.Anton said: "Let's invite the coaching staff of the youth training later and listen to their opinions."

If you can't get outside signings, you can only rely on your own youth training to "make blood".

"There is an ancient Chinese poem called 'Mountains are heavy and rivers are full of doubts, and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and there is another village.

But on the defensive line, Sunderland's signings also did not go well.Even if Alan Horton is counted, their central defender gap is still not small.Moreover, Wenger once reminded that players in these positions need experience. If they can introduce experienced players who have played in the Premier League for a period of time, the newly promoted Sunderland will benefit a lot from it.

With the idea of ​​finding a "citizen" for Eriksson, Anton contacted Liverpool's Danish iron guard, Daniel Agger's agent.

In the World Cup, although Agger scored an own goal, but the overall level has been on the line.And after the oolong has been silently taking the blame, there is no sign or emotion of throwing the blame.

However, Agger's agent reminded Anton that he could pay attention to Agger's social media account.

Anton looked at it, and then backed out silently.This is what he calls "getting back when things go wrong", because Agger has tattooed the initials of the Liverpool team song "You Never Walk Alone", "YNWA", from the index finger to the little finger.As long as he swings his fist, the people on the opposite side can clearly see the four letters.

As long as the Agger is still in the Premier League, he will never transfer to other clubs.

Except for Agger, several players that Anton and Russell had looked at in advance were unable to transfer to Sunderland for one reason or another.Throughout the entire summer window, Sunderland's signing progress is really... a bit behind.

Just as he was thinking, Martin's cell phone rang suddenly.As soon as Martin raised his head, he pursed his lips at Anton and Russell, and then pressed the answer button.

When Anton heard that Martin had switched to German—this was in contact with a German brokerage company, Anton suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Really? That's really great! Let's finalize the final quotation and fax it to you immediately!" Martin hung up the phone with excitement in his voice, and turned to look at Anton and Russell with joy on his brows and eyes .He announced loudly: "There is a play—"

Recognized by Martin as "playful" is Royce's compatriot, Mats Hummels from Germany.This young man was born in Bayern's youth training. After being promoted to the first team, he couldn't play the game and was rented to Dortmund by Bayern.Now that Hummels' lease in Dortmund has expired, Sunderland wants to take this opportunity to introduce Hummels from Bayern.

Russell next to him listened, "Hey", and asked: "Hummels! Didn't you say that there is no show two days ago? Why is there another show?"

The author has something to say: find a buddy for Royce.

That’s all for today, and we’ll continue with double updates tomorrow.

Thank you for your company, love you all!
