Chapter 429 De Gea: Real Madrid, what are you doing!

After the fourth round of the Premier League, FIFA match day has also arrived.

Before the next round of the league, the Spanish national team has two main games to play.

Considering that their next game opponent is Slovakia, the main competitor in the group, Bosque recalled all the main players such as Lin Quan and planned to face the opponent with the strongest lineup.

If this game can be won, Spain will advance to the group stage three rounds ahead of schedule.

Although with Spain's strength, it will be a matter of time before qualifying for the European Cup qualifiers, but qualifying earlier can reduce the pressure on the team and give Del Bosque greater redundancy when arranging his troops. spare space.

The final rounds of the European Cup qualifiers will last until mid-October, and by that time, the major leagues, cups, and Champions League group stages have already begun in full swing.

If a national team game is added to the mix, it is likely to increase the burden on the players and increase their risk of injury.

At the moment, Spain's main goal is to qualify for the European preliminaries, and then adjust the team's lineup and player status to prepare for next year's European Cup in the best possible condition.

Although the European Cup is only a football tournament in Europe, it is far less than the World Cup in terms of scale and influence.

However, given that Europe is the most developed region in football today, and there are many strong teams in the European region, even a strong team like Spain cannot guarantee that it will not overturn in the knockout rounds or even the group stage.

Del Bosque led the team to defend the World Cup, but has yet to taste the taste of defending the European Cup. If this achievement can be achieved, then after the 2018 World Cup, he can retire with peace of mind.

After arriving at the national team training base and reporting in with ease, Lin Quan saw Morata walking around outside the stadium with a cane and a limp.

"Alvaro, what's wrong with your leg?"

Lin Quan asked curiously when he saw the exaggerated bandage.

Although the next game is very important, the head coach doesn't have to recall such an injured player, right?

His legs are like this, how can he play in the game?

"Ahem, it's okay, it's just a minor injury!"

Morata's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Quan, and he limped over.

"Boss, forget it if you eliminated us in the Champions League last year, you must be merciful in this year's group stage!"

Morata did not receive a call from the national team. He chose to return to Madrid to recuperate from his injury. He happened to be training with the national team, so he came over for a walk with a cane.

As for the injury on his leg, it was actually not as serious as it seemed.

This is just that he strained the muscle of his left calf during team training. According to the team doctor, five weeks of rest will be enough.

He was injured in early August. Calculating the time, he can almost walk on the ground now. He may be able to participate in training in another week.

As for why he acted so miserable, it was not to win Lin Quan's sympathy, so that he would be merciful and let them go for the sake of their relationship and the pity that he was injured. !

Morata is 23 years old, and it has been a year since he left Real Madrid.

For Morata, who has dreamed of becoming the emperor since childhood, returning to the Bernabeu is his most important goal in the short term.

To achieve this goal, he is required to perform well at Juventus.

To be honest, Morata's performance at Juventus is not bad.

After joining Juventus last year, he played 46 games for Juventus throughout the year, scoring 18 goals and providing 9 assists.

Among them, there are 11 league goals, 5 domestic cup goals, and 2 Champions League goals.

This data is much better than in the previous life. It is probably because he was driven and influenced by Lin Quan in the national team, which led to Morata also increasing his goals!

In short, Morata at this time should be stronger than him in history in terms of various statistics and abilities!

But this data is not particularly outstanding. At his age, there are many players who are better than him.

If he just stays at Juventus, then this data will help him secure his position as the main force of the Old Lady.

But that won't be enough if he wants to return to the Bernabeu.

Because every one of Real Madrid's BBC trio is better than him, and not even a little bit better.

However, just this summer, when the transfer window opened, there was news from Madrid that Real Madrid seemed to intend to activate Morata's buy-back clause and bring him back to the Bernabeu.

This news made Morata very excited and expectant. He felt that it must be because his outstanding performance in Serie A and the Champions League impressed Real Madrid, which made Real Madrid have such thoughts.

However, until last night, when the transfer window closed, he still had not received an offer from Real Madrid.

This let Morata know that his hopes of returning to the Bernabeu this season were dashed.

But this did not hit Morata, but further stimulated his fighting spirit.

He feels that as long as he continues to work hard, perform better in the league and the Champions League, and produce better data, maybe Real Madrid will take action.

And as a native of Madrid, it is easier for Morata to get inside information about Real Madrid than others.

He heard from the grapevine that there seemed to be a conflict between Real Madrid's chairman and the team's top star, Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo was making noises about leaving, but Chairman Florentino didn't seem to do much to keep him.

Although I don’t know why he didn’t leave in the end, the relationship between the two will definitely not be as harmonious as before.

As a direct descendant of Real Madrid's youth training camp, once Cristiano Ronaldo really leaves, as long as his strength can meet Real Madrid's requirements, Real Madrid will most likely recall him!

In addition to Morata's own desire to wear Real Madrid's white clothes and play for Real Madrid, what makes him most tempted is the possibility of Lin Quan returning to La Liga to join Real Madrid in the future.

After having the experience of cooperating with the national team, Morata dreams of continuing to cooperate with Lin Quan in the club.

After hearing Morata's words, Lin Quan looked at him curiously:

"If you want to qualify from the group, don't you have to look at your own performance? Even if we are really merciful, if you lose to Sevilla or Monchengladbach, then we can't save you, right?"

"That's true, but everyone knows that you, Manchester City, are the strongest in this group. We are worried that if you get enough points to qualify early, will you fail in the last two rounds?"

Lin Quan understood what Morata meant. This kid was worried that Manchester City would come ashore early and release the water, which would benefit Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach, which would in turn make it difficult for Juventus to qualify.

"Haha, don't worry, we won't give in to anyone we meet!"

Based on Lin Quan's understanding of Guardiola, although he may arrange substitute players to play after qualifying early, Guardiola doesn't like the feeling of losing, so he will definitely not let go.

Even with the substitute lineup, it will not be easy for these teams to defeat Manchester City. If it doesn't work, Lin Quan can take the initiative to apply to play and help the team win these two games.

Of course, this depends on Juventus's own performance. If Juventus performs poorly and has no hope of qualifying at the end of the group stage, then even if Manchester City defeats these two teams, it may not help.

But if their own performance is very good and they have obvious advantages, then Lin Quan wouldn't mind helping them along the way.

After all, only by allowing more wealthy clubs to enter the knockout rounds can the water be muddied and cause some trouble for other competitors.

Hearing Lin Quan's answer, Morata didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The other party clearly said that they would kill Juventus if they met.

Alas, Morata feels despair when he thinks that they have two group matches to play with Manchester City.

How could it be possible to defeat such a powerful enemy?

…

When Lin Quan arrived at the training base, almost everyone here was here, except for one person.

This person is none other than De Gea, who doesn't know whether to call him a Real Madrid or Manchester United player.

As Spain's second goalkeeper, De Gea is naturally on Vicente del Bosque's call list.

However, he was belatedly arriving after all the other players arrived on September 1st.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

With a tired look and thick dark circles under his eyes, De Gea walked into the national team's training base like a zombie.

"David, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you get sucked dry by the girls in Madrid?"

"Looking like this, it's obvious that he doesn't have enough sleep!"

"Young people should exercise restraint, this is not acceptable!"

Seeing De Gea's overindulgence, his teammates all started trying to persuade him.

"Stop it, stop it, where have you dirty guys gone? I didn't call a girl, and I didn't go to the night market to linger!"

"Then what are you..."

The teammates looked at each other in confusion. What kind of blow did this have? Why did it become like this if you didn't mess around?

De Gea said indignantly: "The damn fax machine has caused me misery!"

"Ah? What does this have to do with the fax machine?"

Everyone was confused and somewhat lost.

"Is it related to your transfer?"

Everyone thought of what happened to De Gea recently and speculated.

This summer, the biggest soap opera in the football transfer market is Real Madrid's pursuit of Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

From the time Real Madrid announced their intention to introduce De Gea in May, until the transfer window closed, the farce between the two clubs regarding De Gea's transfer continued to unfold.

At first, Real Madrid wanted to introduce De Gea at a low price of 20 million euros, but this price was far from the base price that Manchester United had in mind.

As one of the best goalkeepers in European football, they believe that De Gea's worth should not be lower than that of Neuer and Buffon.

In addition, Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas has officially announced that he will join Porto. When Real Madrid no longer has a goalkeeper, Manchester United believes that it is Real Madrid, so they rejected Real Madrid's offer without hesitation.

De Gea actually wanted to join Real Madrid in his heart. He couldn't stand the bad weather in Manchester.

In addition, since Ferguson retired, Manchester United's performance has deteriorated day by day.

He has begun to act as the dean at Manchester United, and a goalkeeper becomes the dean, which shows how poor the performance of this team must be.

Although this gave De Gea a lot of training opportunities, his wonderful performances frequently appeared on the Internet and TV, which greatly increased his visibility and popularity.

But as a professional player, his desire for glory is greater than anything else.

And if he continues to stay at Manchester United, he sees no hope of winning honors.

So, in 2014, when Manchester United approached De Gea to renew his contract, De Gea rejected Manchester United's request for a contract extension.

This means that De Gea currently has only one year left in his contract with Manchester United. A player with only one year left on his contract will naturally have a greatly reduced value in the transfer market.

This is also the reason why Real Madrid dared to ask for 20 million euros.

But it is impossible for Manchester United to accept such a price. After all, when they introduced De Gea from Atletico Madrid, the transfer price was more than 20 million euros.

Over the years, they have managed to cultivate De Gea into the world's top goalkeeper. However, Real Madrid jumped out and wanted to pick peaches, and they also picked peaches at a price lower than the cost price. Is this ridiculous?

As a result, the two sides argued endlessly about De Gea's transfer price and talked about it again and again.

Manchester United's attitude is very firm, you can either increase the price, or I will force De Gea to stay until next summer.

Real Madrid don't have a suitable goalkeeper now, and it would be detrimental to themselves to hold them back.

So I had no choice but to relent and gradually increased the price from the initial 20 million euros to 35 million pounds, which is approximately 40 million euros.

Although this price is still far from what Manchester United wants, as the transfer window closes, the two sides can no longer negotiate any results.

Selling a goalkeeper with only one year left on his contract for 40 million would not be a big loss for Manchester United.

So, after a long tug of war, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

At this time, this farce seemed to be coming to an end, and it seemed a foregone conclusion that De Gea would return to La Liga and join Real Madrid.

He also hosted a banquet for his teammates in Manchester and said goodbye to them one by one.

However, at the final stage, the transfer failed.

After Manchester United submitted De Gea's transfer documents to FIFA, Real Madrid did not follow up in time to register De Gea with the Spanish Professional Football League.

The main reason for this situation was that the Real Madrid club's fax machine was broken and failed to send the registration documents.

As a result, De Gea's transfer failed.

De Gea kept the news all night last night, and even wrote a tweet, waiting for the official announcement call from his agent and Real Madrid Club, and then made the news of his joining Real Madrid public.

However, due to Real Madrid's failure, his transfer was completely messed up.

Now, De Gea is still a Manchester United player, but he has said goodbye to his teammates and coaches one by one, and Manchester United has also introduced a substitute goalkeeper.

Now he really doesn't know in what capacity and with what face he should return to Manchester United.

Will a player who wants to leave but fails to be regarded as a traitor by his teammates and fans?

Even if the fans and teammates forgive him, he himself will be embarrassed at Manchester United.

But because Real Madrid is so stuck on time, the transfer window has been closed, and he can't even find a contract with another team now.

Thinking of this, De Gea really wanted to die.

Real Madrid, Real Madrid, what are you doing?

You messed up such an important transfer because of a fax machine!

Well now, De Gea can't come to the stage, and Real Madrid themselves can't come to the stage. If De Gea doesn't come, who will Real Madrid rely on to guard the goal for them in the new season?
