Chapter 425 Where is the goalkeeper? (Daily transition)
Ms. Skaya dialed the number of Courtois' agent, Henlotta.
The other party’s attitude was very firm:
"Thibaud's two children live with their mother in Madrid and he misses his family."
"Yes, I have met frequently with Real Madrid's senior management last year. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend Chelsea. My role... is just to help Real Madrid evaluate Courtois's competitive status."
"I hope you Chelsea can see the situation clearly."
Dududu!
The other party hangs up the phone proactively and the communication ends.
Ms. Skaya looked angry, saying she had no chance to negotiate with other clubs. Time was running out.
The new season is about to start, and the summer window is about to close. With little time left, goalkeeper is the most difficult position to recruit.
...
Courtois showed his cards and stopped pretending.
Don't leave early.
Don't leave late.
He chose an opportunity to leave when Chelsea was most passive.
His behavior has aroused condemnation from all tennis fans.
Including Real Madrid fans.
Because when this guy was being interviewed, he couldn't help but provoke the old goalkeeper of Galaxy Battleship:
"Who is Navas? I don't know him. I only know that I once put Cech on the bench."
"I am destined to reach a height that many goalkeepers cannot reach. I can raise the defense of the Galaxy Battleship to a higher level!"
"Real Madrid's overall level is much higher than Chelsea's. I hope Hazard will make the right choice as soon as possible."
The news comment section exploded.
-[Yo Xi! There is an old saying in China that a wise man is a man who knows the current affairs. There is no problem with Kusang's strike. The overall strength of the Galaxy Battleship with the main force is the first in the world. 】
-[Smecta! Pantyhose attaches great importance to friendship. When joining a wealthy club, he did not forget to persuade his good brother Hazard to surrender to the national team. We share hardships and wealth. 】
-[Chelsea wants GG, refer to Manchester City last season...The midfield control is very strong, but in the end they were tricked by Bravo.]
-[Is Galacticos good enough? The second goalkeeper in the main lineup, but Sevilla scored five goals.]
-[I watched that game. No matter how good the midfielder and Varane are, and no matter how strong their control is, they can't fill the hole. The opponent is accurate, and the relationship between goalkeeper position selection and the distance between the defense lines is reported after the game.
Analyze it into a short essay of several thousand words.]
-[Goalkeepers are hard to find, and they also need to fit in with the team’s backcourt system. Strong teams have high requirements for goalkeepers’ other abilities. For example, Liverpool’s Karius, although not very reliable, has combat characteristics that fit Liverpool very well.
high defense line.]
-[There are only a few days left before the start of the league. It is difficult for Chelsea to buy a good goalkeeper. If other clubs have the right candidate, they will give them a lot of money.]
-[I am optimistic about Chelsea 2:3 Burnley in the first round of the Premier League.]
...
Cobham training base.
Tuchel presented his ideas to the club.
"Chelsea needs someone with a large defensive coverage area, fast speed, quick footwork, strong step control, reasonable prediction and position selection, excellent attack and interception skills, good at compressing the opponent's offensive space, and excellent foot skills that can defuse the backcourt.
A goalkeeper who puts pressure on the ball, participates in passing and controlling the ball in the backcourt, and can initiate attacks directly from the backcourt!”
"It's best to balance on both feet."
"This is my...Lee and I's idea."
Tuchel did not forget to change his tune in the end.
Although he is controlling, he has a clear understanding of his current position in the club.
After hearing these words, all the Chelsea staff suddenly showed expressions of despair: You can't even eat shit, you still want to eat top-quality cod?
Cech looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shook his head:
"We can't find a goalkeeper like this."
"Only a Neuer with healthy shoulder bones and intact metatarsals can meet your requirements."
"If you are willing to significantly lower your requirements, I have found several goalkeepers who meet some of the conditions."
"Barcelona, 29-year-old Xilaisen."
"West Ham United, 30-year-old Adrian."
"Lorient youth team, 17-year-old Meslier."
"Ren, 25-year-old Edouard Mendy."
The situation is overwhelming and Chelsea cannot buy a better goalkeeper at this time.
...
Manchester County.
De Gea had a troubled expression when he saw the news.
"I can't join Chelsea."
"Of course it has nothing to do with the lack of liquidated damages... and other factors."
"I love Manchester United deeply."
Manchester United is willing to pay a sky-high salary in the contract extension to commend his loyalty.
"I want to retire at Old Trafford for the rest of my life."
Maguire closed the notebook and said seriously:
"Stop fantasizing, you kid is not suitable for Chelsea's tactical system at all."
"If you can't develop your ball-playing ability, you won't be able to stay at Manchester United forever."
"Then again, it's impossible for Manchester United to sell you! You can't leave, there is no liquidated damages in the contract."
...
time flies.
The Premier League opening game is coming!
Chelsea still had not solved the problem of the first goalkeeper. Ms. Skaya went to the Apennines. She was frustrated by several Serie A teams that had a good relationship with the Blues in the past.
"Aren't you very good at nonono?"
"We won't sell anyone no matter how much money you have! Unless you pay liquidated damages!"
London.
Dyche led Burnley to Stamford Bridge.
He is full of confidence and believes that his team will become the most terrifying dark horse in the new season after strengthening in the summer window.
The Red Wine Legion is bound to make it hard for BIG6 to get a good harvest.
"CTV5! CTV5! Good afternoon, viewers!"
"The live broadcast for you now is the first round of the 2017-18 English Premier League!"
“Chelsea vs. Burnley at home!”
"Blues vs. Reds!"
"Seven years ago, it was Chelsea who killed Burnley's hopes of relegation..."
...
Li Kang stepped onto the green field.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
[Ding! Mission trigger: Premier League BIG7.]
[Mission introduction: Standing in front of you is "Bald Mourinho", punching Tottenham, stepping on Manchester City, and fighting to the death against Liverpool's seventh Premier League team, Burnley! They are stronger than Enrique's Arsenal
, do you dare to believe it?】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Task reward: Bronze treasure chest.]
Li Kang: "..."
He is now accustomed to ignoring the narration and only judging the difficulty of the game based on the reward level.
As for Chelsea’s goalkeeper problem? Li Kang regrets integrating all the goalkeeper modules.
"What is a destructive goalkeeper?"
...
"The following introduces you to the lineups of both sides."
"Chelsea's lineup is 3-4-3."
"Goalkeeper: Caballero."
"..."
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The game officially begins.
Chelsea possession.
"Bald Mourinho" did not set up a bus, but constructed an extremely flexible pressing defense line.
Five big and three thick midfielders with big muscles are engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Taking advantage of the reasonable confrontation of the Premier League, crazily cut down Hazard, Willian, Fabregas and others.
The 24th minute of the game.
Burnley goalkeeper Pope sent a precise long pass from the backcourt.
The frontcourt players rushed forward like crazy.
“I don’t care about the formation spacing at all!”
"Pop's 60-meter long pass was so accurate that it directly bypassed Chelsea's midfield defense!"
"Barnes!"
"A little bit close. Chelsea's 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper Caballero is invincible!"
Caballero hugged the football tightly and signaled his teammates on the back line to keep the distance between them.
Tuchel gestured to Chelsea to establish a ground attack in the backcourt.
Snapped!
Rudiger made a mistake when receiving the ball at the edge of the penalty area.
Burnley forward-Barnes succeeded in pressing.
The Stamford Bridge library suddenly fell into panic.
"pretty!"
"Single sword!"
"This goal won't even be scored?"
"It's Caballero again!"
...
finally.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Chelsea 3:0 Burnley.
Won the first round of the new Premier League season.
The entire Stamford Bridge echoed with Li Kang's name.
The blue ocean keeps churning and is filled with joy.
Chelsea's new No. 10 provided two key assists in this game to seal the victory.
Li Kang was surrounded by his teammates and thanked the home fans together.
....
Tuchel shook hands with the opponent's coach and walked to the tunnel depressedly.
Thoughts fly far away:
Arsenal won the Triple Crown by relying on "the ever-changing Lee, low-post defense, and Petr Cech at the end of his peak."
The versatile Xiao Li has unlimited freedom and can switch any role at any time.
Perfectly fits the low defensive line and integrates into Cech's peak late stage transition attack.
A closer analysis: Wenger's team building ideas are perfect.
Chelsea's situation is different. The individual strength is strong. If they want to realize the highest value of the lineup, they must rely on "accurate ball king Li, high defense line and high goalkeeper." to achieve dominance in Europe.
Here comes the problem.
Poor Chelsea, where can they find a suitable goalkeeper before the summer window closes?
If not found.
This means that all established tactical frameworks must be overturned.
Caballero is not good enough and Messi can't lead him. Why should Chelsea suffer the consequences of the Argentine national team?
Damn it, besides his character, Courtois is so damn perfect.
Thinking of this, Tuchel couldn't help but complain about Courtois again.
Dino trotted all the way and followed up: "Boss, don't stick to the high defensive line. We can learn from Wenger's team building ideas."
Tuchel stopped and asked in confusion: "Then where can we find the second Cech? He is also unique."
Dino looked confused.
As time goes by, the closer the temporary transfer window closes, the harder it becomes to sign players.
Not to mention that you can’t buy goalkeepers who meet the conditions, but you can’t buy those who don’t.
Now everyone in Europe treats Chelsea like a pig, and any second-rate goalkeeper would dare to ask Chelsea for 80 million.
...
at the same time.
American Express Stadium.
Brighton 0:2 Manchester City.
Guardiola was interviewed by reporters.
"Ederson was outstanding. He instigated three good offensive opportunities in the backcourt."
"Shifting the ball point to the goalkeeper is the tactical trend in the next few seasons."
"But Ederson has not yet fully integrated into Manchester City's offensive and defensive operations, which will take some time."
"Manchester City have the patience to wait for his development."
"I want to try a 2-5-3 formation, with only two central defenders in the back, and Ederson as the third central defender..."
"The opponent you are most looking forward to? Chelsea in the next round!"
....
On his way home, Li Kang received a message from Noyin Er.
"Li, although we are a good fit, I will not leave Bayern."
