Chapter 165: Transfer Options

readx;

The season is over, and the Holy Mountain Furien Stadium and training base are suddenly deserted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The players have gone on vacation, which is the reward for their hard work for a season, so Chu Zhongtian's next door has also become quiet. Ribery went to Algeria with his wife and children. He can go for an easy exclusive, James. Merry can't.

The two men had a quarrel about Ribery's future before leaving. Now there are many teams that have invited Ribery to join, and they are all strong teams that are not weak.

Originally, after the World Cup, the media thought that summer was the best time for Ribery to leave Mez, because he participated in the World Cup final and his value soared. Unexpectedly, Ribery made the decision to stay in Metz for another year, when everyone thought that Ribery was confused and would stay for another year? Who knows what will happen a year from now. Metz is not Marseille or Lyon, does not qualify for the Champions League, and cannot often show his face at the highest level, which will reduce the popularity of the player and will also make those teams who were interested in him slowly snub him. Although Metz qualified for the UEFA Cup, the UEFA Cup is not as good as the Champions League, and who knows what Metz will be able to achieve in the UEFA Cup? This is not to say that just because you can participate in the League Cup will be able to achieve remarkable results.

In short, the media felt that if Metz let Ribery go at that time, he would be able to earn at least 20 million euros in transfer fees. For a small team of Metz's level, 20 million is already a huge amount of money.

As a result, Ribery stayed.

What the media didn't expect was that Ribery did not sink with Metz, and Metz did not cross the sky like a meteor and never be found again, they once ranked third in the league, and even went all the way in the League Cup to finally win the championship. Franck Franck Ribery, on the other hand, scored two goals alone in the final to help the team turn defeat into victory. He was also named Player of the Final, named in the League Cup Team of the Year with those two goals.

Such an achievement not only did not devalue him, but instead made his reputation even better.

More European teams have come to him and hopefully he can join this summer.

So Ribery and James Brown on the question of which team to go to. Merry argued.

Franck Ribery would have preferred to go to Real Madrid or Barcelona, and of those two teams he would have preferred to join Real Madrid. Because Zidane has played for Real Madrid and reached the peak of his career. Zinedine Zidane has also told him about the benefits of joining Real Madrid, and he is full of hope for such a team of the best in the 20th century with countless glory.

But James. Proceeding from the actual situation, from the perspective of what is most conducive to the development of Ribery's career, Merry believes that now is not the time to go to a super team like Real Madrid. He personally prefers to let Ribery join Bayern Munich in Germany, although Bayern is also a giant team, but because the Bundesliga is not as attractive as La Liga, Ribery can play the main team at Bayern and have a stable environment.

The two had an argument as a result.

In the end, no one was convinced, but a consensus was reached - first calm down, and then talk about the issue. So Ribery took his wife and children to his wife's house for a vacation, and Merry did not refuse any club without Ribery's permission, unless it was really unreliable for him, just to contact them and listen to their conditions, whether they could satisfy Ribery and himself.

Ribery has many teams chasing, and Chu Zhongtian's popularity is also good.

Although he didn't score a single goal in the final and had only a handful of shots on goal, experts believe that if it wasn't Promans who was sent off at that time, it was this number eight, then Metz would never have won the championship and couldn't even hold out in extra time.

Without Chu Zhongtian, there would be no Mace today, there is no doubt about it.

Franck Franck Ribery is Metz's most stardom player, and he is hugely popular throughout France and is likely to be voted French Footballer of the Year at the end of the season. His fans are all over Metz in the north, Marseille in the south, Paris, Lyon...... these cities. He is the new favorite of the French national team, and some have dubbed him "Zidane II", even though he and Zidane's style of play is completely different.

Celebrity temperament can help the club sell shirts, but it can't help Metz win. The person who can help Mace win is Chu Zhongtian.

As the core of the team, Chu Zhongtian also received invitations from many teams. It's just that in terms of the number of wealthy families, he is not as good as his good friend Ribery.

The big clubs prefer players with star qualities, and there is also a limit to Chu's options - he wants to occupy a non-EU place, and on the side of Premier League clubs, it is a labor certificate. Although he has become an absolute mainstay in Metz and led the team to defeat Sevilla in the final of the League Cup, he did not get a labor certificate because he did not play enough for the national team. Because of this labor certification, his way to join the Premier League team was blocked.

Although there are many Premier League teams interested in Chu Zhongtian, including Alex Ferguson's Manchester United. Last season, Roy. Keane (roy_keane) and Alex Ferguson had a falling out, and Keane left Manchester United for Celtic. Ferguson has been looking for a second Keane all over the world, and he has first dug into the team, and then used Alan in the central midfield position. Smith (alan_smith) and Fletcher (darren_fletcher) who spent 18 million pounds to poach Michael from Tottenham. Carrick (michael_adrian_carrick), although dressed in Roy. Keane's shirt was not consistent. And in this position, it is clearly not enough to have Carrick alone. He was optimistic about Bayern Munich's Hargreaves (owen_hargreaves) before, but Bayern did not let him go, and now he has his eye on Chu Zhongtian, who plays for Metz. In his opinion, Chu Zhongtian has that potential. But the damn labor certification makes Chu Zhongtian's chances of joining Manchester United infinitely close to zero.

Bought and loaned to a satellite team? No kidding, can a player like Chu Zhongtian still accept this condition? Since Chu Zhongtian is destined not to buy it, let's consider a more realistic goal...... Manchester United went back to Bayern Munich to talk about Hargreaves.

Chelsea FC manager Jose Mourinho, who let Chu Zhongtian go, naturally also received media attention. The day after Metz won the League Cup, a reporter asked the Portuguese at a regular press conference at Chelsea Football Club what he thought of Chu Zhongtian's success. Mourinho told the reporter with a straight face: 'I don't answer all the questions about non-Chelsea players. ”

As for whether he himself regretted his decision, no one knows.

Anyway, this summer, Chelsea are not interested in Chu Zhongtian. They acquired German captain Ballack (michael_ballack) from Bayern Munich last summer for free, and they also poached Mikel (john_obi_mikel), who is younger than Chu Zhongtian, from the Norwegian league, which caused a lot of controversy. In the middle of the midfield, they have Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Ballack, Mikel Mikel and Essien. There is no shortage of people at all. And as soon as the season ended, it was rumored that Chelsea had taken a fancy to Reading midfielder Steve. News from Sidwell (steve_sidwell). This is a twenty-four-year-old player in the same position as Chu Zhongtian.

The Premier League club didn't talk about it because of the labor certification, and Chu Zhongtian didn't think about them at all.

In La Liga, Barcelona is not interested in themselves at all, although the domestic media rumors that Rijkaard has taken a fancy to Chu Zhongtian, but there is no such thing at all. Barcelona has many players such as Xavi and Iniesta, and the midfield configuration is extremely strong, so why spend money to buy a Chinese player? Although Chu Zhongtian's skills have improved after this season's training, in the eyes of Catalans, they are still not in the stream.

Real Madrid also has little interest in Chu Zhongtian. They are now pursuing Chu Zhongtian's team-mate Ribery, and in the middle of the midfield, they also have Diarra, Gago and Guti, Baptista, and there is no shortage of people at all.

However, the Sevilla team Chu Zhongtian, who was defeated by Metz in the final of the League Cup, was very interested and hoped that Chu Zhongtian could join. Sevilla are a good place to go, they have a lot of good players, they have the quality to challenge for the title, and they are playing in the Champions League, not the UEFA Cup.

Chu Zhongtian drew a circle on Sevilla's name and included the team as a candidate.

Injured and unable to go out to play, he found something for himself to do - to plan for his future. James. Merry has no helpers, he has to do everything himself, and a single Ribery affair takes up a lot of his time and energy. So Chu Zhongtian simply told Merry to let him go and get busy with Ribery's affairs first, and make good use of this time to think about what to do next. Mei Li didn't object, this kind of thing Chu Zhongtian didn't do it for the first time, he believed in Chu Zhongtian's choice, just like Chu Zhongtian chose his choice. He opted to move from Chelsea after a season at Metz and now it seems he made the right choice.

That being the case, why can't he choose the path he wants to take? Chu Zhongtian is one of the few players Merry has seen who can think calmly and rationally about his career at this age. He had seen and heard many examples of people who got carried away because they became famous at a young age, and eventually sank. He believed that this kind of thing would not happen to Chu Zhongtian.

Sevilla FC are an ambitious team, although gone coach Juande. Ramos, but Jimenez (manolo_jimenez) is also very level. Joining Sevilla is a good choice.

Atletico Madrid have also expressed interest in Chu Zhongtian, although they are not as eager as Sevilla. Since they were not so interested in Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian naturally had little interest in them. His position is in the middle of the midfield, he can play as a midfielder or a central midfielder, and occasionally he can also play as a midfielder and central defender, and his characteristics dictate that the team he is going to must use him as a core to be able to really play to his full strength. So he wants to go to a team that values himself, not just a team that sounds good. He wants more than just a main position.

Atletico Madrid's name was crossed out of the shortlist by Chu Zhongtian.

As for the other Spanish teams, either the level is too low and it is better to stay in Metz there, or the style does not match. None of them are considered.

Let's take a look at Serie A.

The club that is most interested in Chu Zhongtian among the Serie A giants is Juventus, which was relegated last season due to the phonegate scandal, and Frenchman Didier Deschamps, who played for Juventus as a player, became the team's manager, and under his leadership, Juventus were eventually promoted. However, after the promotion, Deschamps handed over the handsome seal, and the person who replaced him was an old acquaintance of Chu Zhongtian, Ranieri.

The person who fell in love with Chu Zhongtian and brought him from Wimbledon to Chelsea was Ranieri. Although he was optimistic about Chu Zhongtian's potential, it was a pity that before Chu Zhongtian joined, he left class. Later, he went to Parma to coach, and now he has just become the head coach of Juventus, and he thinks of Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian performed well in the League Cup last season, and he also saw it. Chu Zhongtian in 2004 still looked very immature, but now he is much more mature. Ranieri thinks that Chu Zhongtian is fully worthy of wearing the Juventus jersey, and when he was interviewed by reporters, he kept praising Chu Zhongtian, and also said that he was a genius with any discernment, and looking at Chu Zhongtian's performance now, you can know how good his vision is...... For Ranieri, Chu Zhongtian has no special feelings, although Ranieri is the first to discover his professional team coach, but after all, he has not played a day under this old man, so he has no feelings. Compared to Ranieri, the name "Juventus" appeals to him even more.

This is the biggest name of all the people who want him to join the team.

Juventus! The team with the most fans in Italy, the team that has won the most domestic league titles, has a long reputation, Zidane, Deschamps, Platini, Baggio, Inzaghi, Vieri, Vialli, Lavanelli, ...... These passing stars are all teams they have played for, and there are now world-class stars such as Piero and Nedved and Trezeguet.

It's nice to be able to play in such an environment...... Is it just that he can get the attention he deserves in such a star-studded team?

It's up to Ranieri. Claudio Ranieri is a good man, but not necessarily a good coach. Chu Zhongtian was a little hesitant, his transfer to Juventus was equivalent to putting the treasure on Ranieri, but this is really not safe...... He hesitated, but kept Juventus on the shortlist, let's take a look first, don't rush to make a decision, anyway, this summer has just begun.

Read on.

In fact, whether it is La Liga, Serie A or Bundesliga, there are some clubs interested in him, most of them are second- and third-tier teams. Second-tier teams refer to being able to participate in the annual European competition, if you are lucky, you will be in the Champions League, if you are unlucky, you will not be able to mix anything, but in the league rankings, the teams in the middle of the league are not worried about relegation anyway, unless the management and coaching staff have a collective brain cramp.

The third-tier teams are naturally those who rank in the middle and lower reaches of the league, basically do not expect any European qualifications, and the biggest goal every year is to strive for a higher ranking on the basis of relegation, so that they can also make more money when distributing TV broadcast fees according to the ranking at the end of the season. They have a much higher chance of being relegated than second-tier teams, and the club's business philosophy is not much to pursue.

Chu Zhongtian will definitely not go to such a team, he might as well stay in Metz to go to that kind of team, at least there are teammates he is familiar with, coaches he is familiar with, fans he is familiar with, and the club's current business philosophy is also quite pursued. The tactical system has also matured, so why run to a new place that you don't pursue and start over?

So all the third-tier teams were eliminated by him in the first round.

Then the rest are the first- and second-tier teams that are guaranteed to be able to participate in European competitions. There are not many first-tier teams, but second-tier teams are the most.

If you want to talk about the performance of Metz in the past two seasons, you can also be among the second-tier teams in Ligue 1, but Metz lacks background, so it looks like it is still third-tier.

When it comes to choosing a team to join in the future, there is a question involved. Is it a carp leaping into the dragon gate and directly joining the giant team? Or do you want to go to the second-tier team first?

Going to a wealthy club can attract more eyeballs, but once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea...... The water is muddy. Can I play if I go? Can you drink those big-name stars and live in peace? Can I take my career to the next level?

Chu Zhongtian couldn't say this clearly.

It's much less risky to go to a second-tier team, but if the conditions aren't particularly good, why would you give up a familiar environment to risk a new environment?

If Metz can win the UEFA Cup, why can't they qualify for the Champions League after everyone's efforts? Ribery is gone, we still have Menez and Ibisevic, plus Coach Fernandez has a really accurate eye for people, maybe where did he poach a few talents? Matthew. Aren't Valbuena and Obertan doing a good job?

Chu Zhongtian hesitated.

The main reason for the hesitation was that the situation was not as rosy as he had imagined. There are many teams interested in him, but there are few teams at the level of giants.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are both pursuing Ribery, but neither team has shown much interest in him. Another reason why teams are reluctant to play is the non-EU quota. Serie A requires every team to buy a non-EU player, and then sell a non-EU player, but this kind of thing is very difficult to operate in practice, you can't guarantee that the non-EU player you want to sell will be wanted, and the player himself will be willing to go, so most Serie A teams are cautious about bringing in non-EU players, unless you are really a great talent. The number of non-EU places per team in the Bundesliga has been reduced to four from five last season, and it is said that it will be reduced to three next season. Although La Liga does not have restrictions on the introduction of non-EU players, only three non-EU players are allowed to play at the same time in a game, which is actually quite strict. Needless to say, the Premier League has a tougher labour certificate than the non-EU quota limit.

Ligue 1? If Chu Zhongtian wants to transfer, he will not go to the French team. On the one hand, I don't want to be an enemy of Metz, and on the other hand, I feel that since I want to transfer, I will go to a league that is higher than Ligue 1, so why stand still?
