Chapter Ninety-Six: Winter Tonic
Chang Sheng ignored the media because he had more important things to do.
Aimar suffered an ankle injury and is expected to miss a month's worth of games.
As a result, he had to readjust to 442, but Villa's injury was not good.
In addition, Pep Guardiola's fitness has dropped rapidly, and the three midfielders now seem to be no longer enough.
He had to be replenished with new people.
Chang Sheng only remembered at this time that he had forgotten about a person.
Zakhovic in the B team......
He thought that he should be able to sell this man now.
So Chang Sheng called Zahovic's agent and told him that Zahovic had been cleared to leave the team and that they could go.
The agent informed Zakhovic about this, and Zakhovic was furious: "What did he do with me? If you want me to go, I'll go, and if you don't want me to go, I can't go? Tell him I'm not leaving! ”
So the agent ran to reply to Chang Sheng: "My players refuse to be traded like commodities!" ”
Chang Sheng smiled when he heard this: "Yo, dare to love Zakhovic is still waiting for his feelings in Team B, right?" It's good that Zakhovic has three years left on his contract with Valencia and I'd be happy to keep him with Team B until his contract expires! ”
After speaking, Chang Sheng didn't give the other party's agent a chance to speak, and hung up the phone directly.
Dare to pose in front of Lao Tzu?
Who do you think you are?
Originally, Chang Sheng planned to sell Zakhovic and increase his transfer fee income.
But now he would rather not earn this money than be blackmailed by the players.
Anyway, the transfer fee he earned for the club in the summer still has a reputation, and if he wants to buy someone, Otti will not say anything.
The substitute for the back has already been chosen.
As a substitute, the requirement to win is simple - one specialization and multiple abilities. There is a position that you are good at, but you can also be competent in other positions.
As someone who has traveled back in time since 2012, it is normal to have this kind of thought. Because at that time, world football had developed to the point where the positions of players were blurred and their functions were blurred.
If any player can't play one more position, it will be difficult for him to survive in the team.
The substitute who is often on the spotlight is Carlos Marchena, who plays for Benfica, Portugal.
The Sevilla debutant can play as both centre-back and midfielder.
Of course, now he is playing more at central defender, but Chang Sheng knows that he has the talent to play in the back, and with a little training, he can make a cameo in the back.
This is exactly what is required of a regular winner to be a substitute.
Historically, Marchena has indeed moved from Benfica to Valencia.
※※※
Zahovic was stunned for a moment when he heard Chang Sheng's reply from his agent, and then he realized what kind of person he was dealing with the head coach.
He doesn't have any mercy when he picks up people......
He said he was going to put himself on Team B and stay until the end of his contract, so he could really do it......
As soon as he wanted to stay in Team B until the end of his contract, with three years to go, he couldn't help but shudder!
On those days, he would rather retire early!
After three years, when the contract expires, how many people in world football still remember him?
Zakhovic realised that if he remained with the B team, he would die without a place to die.
Now he can only get out of here as soon as possible.
It was only then that he regretted that he had been too impulsive......
Offers of transfer departure should not be denied.
But now to let him go back and win? That's something you can't do.
So he could only be depressed and aggrieved.
※※※
At the behest of Everwin, Valencia began to approach Benfica to ask if they would be willing to sell Marchena.
Marchena was able to play in the first team when he debuted in Sevilla, and he performed well.
However, after Sevilla's relegation, he chose to leave the team and go to Portuguese giants Benfica.
But at Benfica he didn't get a chance and was always a substitute.
Often's goal was clearly for Marchena because he knew that Marchena had been successful in Valencia, and he also knew that Marchena wanted to return to Spain, and Benfica would not be embarrassed by a player who was not part of their plans.
Moreover, selling Marchena would save Marchena wages while earning a transfer fee.
It's definitely a good deal for Benfica.
Now the conflict between the two sides is mainly over the transfer fee.
Chang Sheng, who was accustomed to living a hard life in Getafe, had developed a habit of frugality, and naturally he wanted to buy Macena at the lowest possible price.
And Benfica, of course, can't sell Marchena at the price of cabbage.
Benfica's reply was quick. Marchena can be sold, but the price needs to be negotiated.
Chang Sheng automatically ignored the latter sentence.
He knew that Marchena's transfer from Benfica to Valencia was a free transfer, and Valencia didn't pay a penny.
The reason why Benfica will allow Marchena to transfer freely is that Marchena is not important to Benfica, and on the other hand, Marchena's salary.
He moved from Sevilla to Benfica and his agent helped him get a good salary.
If he can play as a regular player at Benfica, the salary will be worth it. But Marchena has no place at Benfica.
If you can't play and get a high salary, Benfica definitely doesn't want to.
Moreover, the contract signed between Marchena's agent and Benfica also stipulated that the salary should be increased by 15% per year.
This made Benfica unbearable, and in the end they could only agree to terminate the contract with Marchena and let Marchena transfer on a free transfer.
Benfica now comes to talk to themselves about the transfer fee, and they just need to avoid talking about it.
He believes that the impatient person must be Benfica, not himself.
So Benfica said that Marchena could be sold, but when it was time to talk about the transfer fee, Chang Sheng left Benfica out in the cold.
He then asked Llorente to run to contact Marchena himself.
Marchena has been frustrated in Portugal for a long time, and now he is overjoyed to hear that he has the opportunity to return to Spain, and Valencia, who is now the top of the league, so there is no reason to disagree?
So Llorente asked Marchena to go and fight with Benfica FC on his own, asking Benfica to terminate his contract and let him transfer to Valencia on a free transfer.
Macie didn't have a word either.
Anyway, he doesn't want to play in Portugal again, even if he offends Benfica, it doesn't matter.
※※※
The next thing is to command Llorente in the air, waiting to see the show.
He was convinced that Benfica would eventually give in.
Because the twisted melon is not sweet, since Marchena himself does not want to continue to stay, there is only one thing Benfica has to do, and that is to release him quickly.
People themselves have said that they don't want the next salary, do Benfica have to keep the other party to pay him so much salary every year?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chang Sheng to wait for the news that Llorente had returned from Portugal.
Benfica relented and agreed to terminate the contract with Marchena, so that Marchena would return to his free body.
The next day, the official website of Valencia FC announced that they had signed a contract with Marchena, who had come on a free transfer from Benfica.
In fact, when Marchena and Benfica were in a quarrel, in order to strengthen his determination, Valencia had already initialled the contract with Marchena in private.
If this kind of thing is exposed, it will definitely violate the spirit of FIFA, and Benfica will be allowed to do so.
But Marchena and Valencia have the same goals and interests, so naturally they will not betray each other.
So in the end, Valencia signed Marchena, and Benfica didn't know that Valencia had been in contact with Marchena privately.
Signing Marchena, who has won the new player conference, told the media that Marchena would be a useful addition to the team.
And Marchena is also happy to move to Valencia.
'Valencia was a great team and of course now they're even greater. I heard about the team beating Real Madrid twice in the league...... When I was at Benfica, my players were talking about this team. I'm honored to be on this team......"
Marchena's words won the favor of many Valencian media, and Chang Sheng was also very satisfied with it.
Because what Marchena just said helped him to integrate into the team quickly.
If a new player comes in and the first thing he says is, "Who the are you?" ”
Then Chang Sheng should probably consider selling this new player......
※※※
In addition to buying a Marchena during the winter break, Chang Sheng also sold a player.
Originally, Aimar's substitute, Dennis Serban, was not getting enough playing opportunities in the team. originally thought that Aimar would have his own chance if he was beaten into the cold palace, but Chang Sheng would rather play 442 instead of giving him a chance to play, so he applied for a transfer to the club.
Chang Sheng doesn't pay much attention to this kind of dispensable player. The transfer is the transfer, and without saying a word, I agreed.
In the end, Romania's Rapid Bucharest bought Serban for $800,000.
As soon as he enters and exits, Chang Sheng will no longer continue to be Taobao in the transfer market. There wasn't much to expect in the winter transfer market. There are good ones, which are very expensive, and it is not possible to buy people in the winter transfer market, unless it is a last resort, such as the lack of people in the back, so he bought a Marchena.
In the centre-back position, although he likes Jose Passarella, Valencia has too many centre-backs at the moment.
Ayala and Carvalho are the two main players, Pellegrino can also play in the rotation, then Navarro, and now Marchena.
There are already five centre-backs in this position, and there is no need to buy Jose Passarella again.
Although Chang Sheng likes Passarella very much, he doesn't like it to the point that he takes it with him wherever he goes.
He should be thinking about the team as a whole, not personal preferences.
As a result, Chang Sheng announced that Valencia's activities in the winter transfer market were over.
He closed the door back and continued to prepare for the league, cup and so on.
As for Zakhovic, who is unwilling to bow to Chang Sheng in the B team and hopes that Chang Sheng will inform him again that he can transfer......
I was forgotten by Chang Sheng again.
No way, it's so easy to be forgotten......
