Chapter 285 The legend ends, Spain's 23-man roster! (transitional chapter)
Madrid, Las Rozas training base.
When Lin Quan came to report, the national team teammates who had been summoned had basically arrived.
Outside the training base, there were many Spanish fans who came to cheer for the team.
Because this World Cup was held in South America, many Spanish fans were unable to go to the scene to cheer for the team.
Therefore, they chose to send them blessings in advance before setting off in Spain!
"Lin, come on!"
"Bring back the championship trophy!"
"Don't let the guys in South America have the last laugh, Europe is the orthodoxy of football!"
After seeing Lin Quan, the fans shouted his fame and cheered him up with various words.
If it was in the past, when Lin Quan was in a good mood, he might have satisfied the fans' request for group photos and autographs.
But after the 'painful' lesson at Manchester Airport, he didn't dare to sign autographs for fans casually.
Signed one to two, signed two to four...
He found himself underestimating his influence and popularity among the fans too much!
After coming to the training ground and greeting several teammates, Lin Quan quickly went to the locker room to change his clothes, and then quickly joined the training.
He glanced at it and found that there were a few familiar faces missing in the team, and there were also a few unfamiliar faces.
"Where's the captain?"
Lin Quan poked Xiaofa and asked suspiciously.
Fabregas obviously knew who Lin Quan was referring to as the captain, and he asked in surprise:
"Don't you know? The captain announced his retirement yesterday!"
"Uh, didn't he agree to play the World Cup with us? Why did he retire?"
The captain they mentioned was not Casillas, the captain on the field, but Puyol, the old captain.
When he participated in the World Cup preliminaries, Puyol once expressed his desire to join his teammates in the World Cup in Brazil.
Lin Quan kept this sentence in his heart all the time, but he didn't expect him to announce his retirement in advance.
"Hey, the team's 23-man roster is full. The Pu team didn't want to embarrass the coach and quit the national team voluntarily, and he has already retired from the club. Since he has quit the national team, there is nothing to remember. Simply announce your retirement."
Lin Quan remembered that in the original history, Puyol announced his retirement at the end of La Liga.
But this time, he did not choose to retire immediately after the league ended, but waited for a while before retiring.
Obviously, he has the idea of participating in the World Cup.
Puyol is a player born in April 1978 and is 4 years old this year.
At this age, it is obviously impossible to become the main force of the team, or even provide much substantial help to the team.
As for Spain's 23-man roster, every spot is extremely precious.
If he occupies a roster, it is likely to cause problems for Bosque's formation.
Therefore, his choice of retirement is obviously to sacrifice himself to become a global team.
Hearing the news of Puyol's retirement, Lin Quan felt a little sad.
He didn't have much contact with Puyol, but in a limited time, the leader of the locker room had a great influence on him.
As the soul of Barcelona, Puyol is born with strong spiritual attributes and leadership qualities.
Even if he is too old to help the team on the court, having him comfort and encourage his teammates in the locker room can still play a very important role.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan had an idea.
He stopped training and offered to go to Bosque and offer him advice.
"Invite Puyol to temporarily join the coaching staff and go out with the team?"
Bosque was confused by Lin Quan's unconstrained thinking, he looked at Lin Quan suspiciously, and asked:
"Lin, haven't you noticed that there are only 23 people in the 22-man roster? I reserved a place for Puyol and he refused to come. You invite him to be an assistant coach. Will he agree?"
Bosque is not a person who does not miss old feelings. Puyol has worked with him for six years and has always been his most important defense general.
In fact, he also hopes to fulfill Puyol and take him to the World Cup again.
But Puyol himself refused, he didn't want to be a burden to the team, and Bosque couldn't force the other side to participate.
What's more, Puyol's current competitive strength has indeed dropped a lot, and it is difficult to appear in the game.
Taking him and keeping him on the bench all the time, for Puyol, may hurt his self-esteem.
Just like Manchester United's captain Gary Neville, he only played 4 times for Manchester United in the last season, and almost all of the rest of the time sat on the bench.
Ferguson valued his influence in the locker room and hoped that he could help the team in the locker room.
But Gary Neville doesn't want to be a mascot, because he knows that his current strength can't help Manchester United.
So, he chose to retire.
Puyol's choice is almost exactly the same as Gary Neville's choice!
At this time, invite Puyol back as a coach, will the other party agree?
"I think so. The old captain has always wanted to participate in this World Cup with us. Now it seems that he is not able to play as a player, but as a part of the team as a coach, it is also possible. It can be regarded as fulfilling one of his wishes!"
"And the old captain has rich experience in the competition, not only can provide substantial help during defensive training, but also provide us young players with valuable game experience, which is also beneficial to the team!"
Bosque held his chin and looked at Lin Quan for a long time, thinking that your playing style is so sophisticated that it is not like an 18-year-old genius, and you still need others to provide you with experience?
It's a little bit like making up the reason, I don't even want to expose you!
"Well, the team really lacks a defender coach. If you can convince Carles, then I will give him this position!"
Bosque couldn't resist Lin Quan's hard-headedness, so he pinched his nose and believed the reason the other party made up.
After getting Bosque's consent, Lin Quan left happily.
Looking at Lin Quan's back, and then at the assistant beside him, Bosque asked hesitantly:
"Tony, do you think we spoil this kid too much?"
"Pamper? Who? Lin?"
"Ok!"
"Hehe, I don't think so!"
Tony couldn't help rolling his eyes. He really wanted to tell Bosque that when the outside world commented on Spain, there was an interesting saying.
The general idea is that with the configuration of Spain's lineup, let alone Bosque, he can win even if he is tethered to the coach's bench.
Before Lin Quan joined, although Spain was strong, there were serious problems on the offensive end.
But his joining made up for Spain's shortcomings and allowed Spain to have its own nuclear warhead.
This kind of player, let alone favoritism and pampering, it is not too much to hold him carefully in the palm of his hand.
Leaving aside, just talk about Portugal, Spain's neighbor. What is Ronaldo's status in the Portuguese team?
What is Lin Quan's status in the Spanish team?
As far as his current treatment in the team is concerned, Tony feels that it has nothing to do with the word "indulging" that Bosque said.
In Tony's opinion, Bosque is not pampering Lin Quan enough!
Otherwise, the vice-captain or something, high or low will have to give one!
Harvey and others are about to withdraw from the national team. The Spanish national team needs to establish the core of the next generation as soon as possible.
The only person who can take on this task is Lin Quan.
Therefore, even if he is not given the position of captain of the national team now, the vice-captain must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
But looking at Bosque's arrangement, it seems that there is no such plan in a short period of time, which makes Tony feel that he seems to be deliberately suppressing Lin Quan and not giving him the treatment he deserves.
As for the reason for doing this, it was probably because he didn't want to be promoted too quickly, which would affect Lin Quan's mentality.
After all, many young players who become famous at a young age are always prone to self-inflated and then destroyed after they become famous.
……
After talking with Bosque, Lin Quan immediately called Puyol.
"Lin, what's the matter?"
Puyol was surprised that Lin Quan called suddenly.
"Captain, come back, we need you!"
Lin Quan didn't write any ink, and sent an invitation to Puyol straight to the point.
Since the national team's 23-man roster is not yet full, Puyol still has the possibility to seize the last chance to board the ship.
On the other end of the phone, Puyol smiled wryly after hearing Lin Quan's words:
"I'm old and I can't contribute to the team. Bringing me will only make me a burden to the team. It's too shameful for an old guy like me."
What Puyol said was very sad. Hearing Puyol's words, the four words "hero's twilight" came to Lin Quan's mind.
Sure enough, Bosque was right in guessing that a direct invitation would not work, and Puyol would be even more injured if he was really brought in and not allowed to play in the game.
Out of the consideration of maintaining Puyol's self-esteem, Lin Quan did not send out the invitation directly, but made a detour:
"Captain, what are you going to do after you retire?"
Lin Quan's jumping topic made Puyol silent for a while, and he actually didn't think about what he was going to do.
When he decided to leave Barcelona, he was planning to seek gold in the lower leagues.
Although he cannot continue to play in the five major leagues at his current level, it should be no problem to play in leagues such as the Middle East or the North American major leagues.
Relying on his title of world champion captain, he can get a big contract in these low-level leagues, and after playing the last few years, he can make money and continue to enjoy the life of playing football.
For a lot of players his age, that's very attractive.
However, Puyol has only played for one team of the Red and Blues in his life, and he does not want to betray his beliefs.
Although playing in low-level leagues in the last few years can help him earn one or two thousand or even tens of millions more euros, for Puyol, his belief and loyalty to the Red and Blues cannot be measured by money.
Therefore, after thinking twice, he finally decided to retire and gave up the idea of going to low-level leagues to seek gold.
However, after retiring, you have to find something for yourself to do, right?
For the players after retirement, apart from rarely leaving the football career, most of them will continue to choose to engage in football-related work.
For example, changing careers as a coach, going to a TV station as a commentator and commentator, signing a contract with the club where you originally played to become the club's administrators and managers, etc.
After Puyol decided to retire, he took into account his great contribution to the team.
Barcelona is going to invite him to be the assistant to the sports director so that he can continue to play for Barcelona.
The salary of this job is not much, but the advantage is that he can stay in Barcelona, which may be very attractive to Puyol.
However, the position is vulnerable to political influence.
The previous sports directors are almost all the confidantes of the club chairman, so once the emperor and courtiers, as long as the club chairman changes, this position will inevitably be purged.
The current sports director of Barcelona is Zubizarreta, who was promoted by Russell. As Russell's confidant, he cannot be trusted by the newly elected club president, so it will be a matter of time before he is purged.
If Puyol accepts Barcelona's invitation, he will most likely be forced to resign in January next year.
The Barcelona club may not be aware of this, but they still gave him such an awkward position. This approach is very confusing. I don't know if it was intentional or careless.
Puyol did not hide, and spoke out the invitation from Barcelona.
Lin Quan thought carefully for a while, and persuaded:
"Should the captain consider changing careers to become a coach? Not only can he continue to work in football-related work, but one day in the future he may be able to return to Camp Nou as a coach like many legendary stars!"
Lin Quan's words moved Puyol very much, and there was a living example in front of him-Guardiola!
Guardiola, who played for Barcelona for more than ten years in the player era, returned to Camp Nou again as a coach.
And his return directly established Barcelona's dream three dynasties, won two Champions League trophies for Barcelona, and forcibly raised Barcelona, a team that is far inferior to Real Madrid in terms of background and strength, to the same level as Real Madrid.
Guardiola's successful transformation is a huge incentive and stimulus for many retired players.
Let them can't help but want to imitate him!
Puyol is no exception!
"Okay, let me think about it!"
"That's right, captain, our national team currently lacks an experienced defensive coach, do you want to think about it?"
Seemingly worried that Puyol would refuse to save face, Lin Quan added:
"Captain, didn't you say that you hope to win this World Cup with us? Since you can't win the cup as a player, then you can participate as a coach!"
Puyol froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that this might be the real purpose of Lin Quan's call.
Did this guy turn so many corners just to say this?
He was a little moved, sniffled, without hesitation: "No problem, I can report anytime!"
After Puyol clearly refused again, Bosque quickly recruited another person into the team.
So far, Spain's 2014-man squad for the 23 World Cup in Brazil has been released.
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Reina (Napoli), De Gea (Manchester United)
Defenders: Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Alba (Barcelona), Pique (Barcelona), Ramos (Real Madrid), Javi Martinez (Bayern Munich), Albiol (Napoli) , Juanfran (Atletico Madrid)
Midfielders: Busquets (Barcelona), Xavi (Barcelona), Iniesta (Barcelona), Fabregas (Barcelona), Alonso (Real Madrid), Koke (Atletico Madrid), David Sean Erva (Manchester City), Mata (Manchester United).
Forwards: Lin Quan (Manchester City), Pedro (Barcelona), David Villa (Atletico Madrid), Diego Costa (Atletico Madrid), Torres (Chelsea).
It is worth mentioning that Atletico striker Diego Costa, who was originally a dual nationality of Brazil and Spain, finally chose to join the Spanish national team.
This move aroused huge controversy, and fans of the Brazilian team regarded him as a traitor, thinking that he shamelessly betrayed his motherland in order to hold Spain's thigh.
On the other hand, Spanish fans did not welcome his move as much as in history. After all, they already had Lin Quan.
As a result, Diego Costa became a mouse in the bellows, suffering from both ends!
