Otagan, the meaning of octagon in English.

In reality, everyone who knows him knows that he is very versatile.

He is a football agent with no qualifications and no fame.

But he led his players to many Premier League giants.

This is enough to see his ability.

At this moment, sitting in the stands at the Aarhus Football Stadium in Denmark, watching the U21 European Youth Championship final, Spain defeated England 2-0, and he showed a bitter smile.

"This England youth team has Gibbs, Phil Jones, McArrichards and Smarin in the backcourt, Clevily, Henderson, Rodwell, Sinclair and Adam Larana in the midfield, and Sturridge and Villbeck in the forward line."

He casually read out most of the players on the starting list of England's U21 in the final and on the bench.

He is Daniel Sturridge's agent.

"So many young players who have a place in the Premier League have been beaten to the point of being defeated by Spain in the final. Is Spain too strong or England too weak?"

Speaking of this, Otagan turned his head and glanced at the old man sitting next to him.

Chief scout from Southampton, Ramon Madoni.

A gold medal scout who is respected as the golden eye in Argentina football.

Ramon Madoni came to Denmark in person to inspect the U21 European Youth Championship because many Southampton players participated in this event, including this game against several players from both sides.

Spain's captains, Xavi Martinez and Carvajal, as well as Daniel Sturridge from the England national team and U21 youth team's substitute Laville Morrison.

Adam Larana was originally a Southampton, but now he already belongs to Chelsea.

In fact, one of the key points of this game was Adam Larana, who served as the core of the midfield of England's U21 national team, and against Xavi Martinez, who was in the midfielder of Spain.

As a result, Adam Larana did nothing in the whole game.

Xavi Martinez is very popular and performs well in the midfield. He is the pillar of the Spanish national team's midfield and backcourt, which makes Ramon Madoni also shine.

But I was thinking about a sentence from Young Master Huan.

"Who said it was a midfielder? I bought him to let him play as a central defender!"

Even now, Ramon Madoni still finds it very funny.

A player who has always played as a midfielder, but was brought in to play as a central defender?

Isn't this a mess?

After watching Harvey Martinez's performance in this game, Ramon Madoni felt that he was very suitable to play as a midfielder.

As for the effect of playing for the central defender... who knows?

But no one dared to easily question Young Master Huan's thoughts and vision.

Because in the past, he has proved himself right countless times.

The only thing I can do is lament.

Who knows the world of Master Huan?

Adam Larana's sluggish performance in this game also once again confirmed Bielsa's foresight.

He is one of the few skilled players in English football, and can play as a front midfielder, especially as a top team. He has not shown such strength yet.

Selling Adam Larana and further releasing Ibrahimovic, this step seems to be the right one.

When Otagan saw Ramon Madoni, he didn't say anything, obviously thinking about his own affairs and didn't bother him for a while.

I was not dissatisfied with the other party not answering his own question.

Because he knows his weight and weight.

By the time Ramon Madoni looked up, both players below had already left the court.

Although it is the European Youth Championship, there are not many fans in the stands.

"Ramon, let's go down." Otagan suggested.

Ramon Madoni nodded.

The two of them got off the stands from the stairs, reported their identities to the staff, and walked directly into the stadium.

"Hi, Ramon!"

As soon as Kavajal saw Ramon Madoni, he came to meet him with a smile.

"Daniel, this game was not good enough, especially on the offensive end. The investment was not firm enough, and the opportunity was wasted several times!" Ramon Madoni said with a smile.

Kavajal smiled and pointed to Adam Larana who was walking over from a distance. "This is the coach's arrangement. He often moves on the left, so my defensive pressure will be greater."

"What are you talking about me?" Adam Larana happened to walk in front of them, "Hello, Ramon!"

"Hello, Adam!" Ramon Madoni greeted him with a smile.

After a year of time, although they are about to become opponents, they still have a friendship off the court.

"The captain of Spain is our newly introduced player?" Adam Larana asked with a frown.

Although he has already transferred, his heart still regards Southampton as his own.

Playing football at Chelsea is a profession, but Southampton is a home.

Ramon Madoni nodded, "Have Martinez, from Athletic Bilbao."

After the end, he asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

The most valuable evaluation of players is undoubtedly from real opponents.

Adam Larana shook her head, "This guy's body is really good. He has a very accurate positioning and prediction of the ball, and his defense is also very good. In short, he is a headache-inducing character!"

Kavajal laughed, "Our captain is not only good at defending, his skills are also quite good."

"Is that true?" Adam Larana did not suspect that there was a falsehood.

Many times, players' performance on the court may not necessarily reflect his true strength, but more of obeying tactical needs.

As a defensive midfielder, Harvey Martinez has few opportunities to perform at his feet. He may not necessarily say that he is very skilled.

Although everyone knows that the U21 European Youth Championship has no influence, and even the stands are unsatisfied in the finals, it is a championship honor.

Losing the final, England players were in a lack of interest.

Ramon Madoni comforted Adam Larana.

Although he performed poorly in the finals, England was able to stand out from the group stage and reach the finals. As the core midfielder, he made an indelible contribution.

At least, after this event, the controversy caused by his sky-high price of 40 million pounds will be much smaller.

But compared to Adam Larana, Daniel Sturridge was much more depressed.

In the previous half season, after he went to Bolton on loan, he performed quite eye-catchingly.

Bolton was able to succeed in relegation, and he was Daniel Sturridge on the front line and Gary Cahill on the back line.

However, after coming to England U21, the team's main center position belongs to Manchester United's Welbeck.

Sturridge's characteristics have not been maximized, which has to be said to be a deficit of head coach Pierce.

"Hello, Daniel." Ramon Madoni met the 21-year-old player accompanied by his agent Otagan.

"Hello, Ramon." Sturridge was a little uninterested.

Ramon Madoni noticed this and made a secret judgment in his heart.

This is a player who has a strong desire to win and does not like to lose.

This is very similar to Southampton's personality.

"I came to Denmark this time just to check you out."

Sturridge still seemed calm.

He used to play for Manchester City and Chelsea, but later on loan to Bolton, both of which were Premier League teams.

Now that he joins the Championship, it is natural to be calm.

Even, vaguely, he was a little angry.

He felt that going to Southampton was a bit back.

"We learned that when you were in Bolton, you were injured and don't know how you recover now?"

Sturridge was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the other party made a special trip to Denmark for this matter.

"It's OK, no problem."

Ramon Madoni didn't say much, "For the sake of safety, we recommend that you come to the team to report in advance. We will do the most detailed physical examination for you to solve the potential risks of your physical injuries."

Sturridge thought for a while, nodded, but instead asked.

"Can I play the main player in the new season?" he asked very directly.

Ramon Madoni laughed, "Of course, if you think you have this strength."

Sturridge seemed very confident, "Of course I believe in myself."
