205: We need to introduce a world-class central defender again

While the outside world was still discussing France and Uruguay, Tong Yisheng ignored them.

Tong Yi has already gone to Johannesburg.

Going here, Tong Yi is not going to watch the game. But he still appeared in the stands when Argentina played against Nigeria, and he watched the game.

Seriously, this game wasn't very good to watch.

The Argentine national team played very poorly and struggled. The advantages of the six top strikers were not fully demonstrated. They only relied on center back Heinze's header to score the only goal and win this game.

To be honest, this game also made Argentina fans very dissatisfied.

Is it appropriate that you have six great strikers but you play like this?

With six great strikers, you actually need a central defender to score in order to win. Doesn't your conscience hurt?

Anyway, Tong Yi didn't think there were too many surprises.

After the game, Tong Yi was not in a hurry to leave. He directly found Nicolas Otamendi, a member of the Argentine national team!

Yes, today Tong Yi is here for the Argentinian Iron Guard.

The Argentine iron guard is not yet the main player of the Argentine national team, but is just a substitute among the substitutes.

But Tong Yi knew that this guy was pretty good.

The rise of this central defender is not very high, only 183, which is indeed slightly insufficient in preventing high-altitude balls. But his frontal defense, physical confrontation, and ability to turn around and chase are all very strong, and these are what Munich 1860 currently lacks. He has a different style from Senderos and Campbell and can complement each other.

This is what Tong Yi needs.

More importantly, Otamendi is still playing in Argentina and has not yet attracted the covetousness of European giants. Because some wealthy clubs believe that Otamendi's height is a flaw, limiting his growth, and he will not have high achievements in the future and is not suitable for their wealthy clubs. Therefore, they are not optimistic about Otamendi.

Moreover, the wealthy clubs are confident and they need better choices.

Other teams in Europe are also worried about Otamendi's height, so they have not made a move.

Of course, the more important thing is that it seems that Otamendi's team has priced him very high, it seems to be 8 million euros. With this amount of money, how could any team in Europe be tempted? Instead of spending 8 million to buy Otamendi, it would be better to replace him with someone else.

Therefore, although Otamendi is now a fringe international player for Argentina, he is really not very popular in Europe.

At this time, Tong Yi was given a chance.

Tong Yi knew that this guy was very powerful.

Tong Yi remembers that this guy seemed to have transferred to the black club Boll in European football this year.

Pictured, he played for Porto for four seasons and won 3 Portuguese Super League championships, 1 Portuguese Cup championship and 1 Europa League championship as the team's main central defender. His performance was extremely outstanding.

With such outstanding performance, he moved to La Liga Valencia for 12 million euros in 2014. Here he led the team to the UEFA Champions League and was selected into La Liga's official Team of the Year, beating out all the top central defenders.

In 2015, he even moved to the upstart Premier League team Manchester City for 40 million euros.

In the Manchester City club, his uncle occupied the main position and grew into the world's top central defender. Here, he helped Manchester City win the Premier League twice, win an FA Cup and a League Cup.

Even when he was 32 years old, he moved to Benfica for a high price of 15 million pounds.

This shows that this central defender is very powerful.

Even in the early days, he was underestimated by European football.

Therefore, Tong Yi still admires the Argentine central defender very much. Moreover, this guy can play as a central defender and a full-back. After being introduced, he can serve multiple purposes.

Moreover, Tong Yi now glanced at Otamendi with the Eye of Bole.

Otamendi's potential has reached 180, which is even 1 point higher than the potential of Senderos and Matic, which is amazing. And his current strength has reached 149, which is even 2 points higher than the current Campbell.

This guy is worth bringing in.

Therefore, after the game between the Argentina national team and the Nigeria national team, Tong Yi found Otamendi.

Get in touch privately.

To be honest, Otamendi was also very surprised when he saw Tong Yi.

Of course, Otamendi knew Tong Yi at this time. Because Tong Yi has been so popular recently, Otamendi has seen and heard a lot of his remarks, and he even found them a bit funny. However, he did not dare to underestimate Tong Yi.

After all, Tong Yi is still very successful in Germany!

Tong Yi officially started his head coaching career at the age of 24 and took over 1860 Munich. At the age of 25, he led 1860 Munich to win the Bundesliga Championship and led the team to the Bundesliga. He also won the German Cup and qualified for the Europa League.

To be honest, this is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Therefore, Otamendi really dare not underestimate Tong Yi.

However, he was also very curious, why did this guy Tong Yi come to him?

of?

Tong Yi looked at Otamendi and smiled slightly and said, "I know you are very curious now and don't know why I came to you, so I won't beat you in circles. Are you willing to come and play football in our Munich 1860?"

Otamendi was shocked and stared at Tong Yi with wide eyes.

Otamendi is stupid!

He didn't expect that Tong Yi was here to recruit him!

To be honest, he himself is naturally full of yearning for European football. Whenever he heard Messi, Aguero and Tevez talking about European football and life in Europe in the Argentine national team, he was infinitely yearning for it. He really wanted to go to European football.

He has even told his agent many times that he wants Europe and asked his agent to contact some teams in Europe. He himself is an international player for the Argentina national team, and was selected for the adult national team at a very young age. Aren’t talents like me what your European teams like?

At first he thought he would soon return to Europe to play high-level games and earn more money.

However, the news the economic man brought back was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, making his whole body cold and even his heart freezing.

Just because of your height?

Are these European teams not optimistic about themselves?

When did European football become so superficial?

I'm an Argentina international! Although my height is a fatal flaw, don't you trust an Argentina international? If I have no special qualities, can I be selected for the Argentina national team?

It was clear that none of the European teams responded to him.

This is a huge blow to Otamendi.

Even later, when Messi and Aguero talked about European football and European life in the locker room, he would deliberately avoid it.

Since then, Otamendi has been working hard to practice jumping and heading. He is determined to make these teams all over Europe regret it one day!

He thought he would never have the chance to play football in Europe, but Tong Yi suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was shocked.

After a while, Otamendi came back to his senses and said in an unbelievable tone, "You said you want to take me to Europe?"

Tong Yi nodded firmly and said, "Yes, are you willing to come?"

Otamendi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you mind my height? They all say that my height has determined that my upper limit will not be too high!"

Speaking of this, Otamendi himself sneered, with disdain on his face.

His disdain for those who doubted him.

Tong Yi said quietly, "Do you believe it yourself?"

Otamen

Di suddenly became excited and said, "Of course I don't believe it! I am not tall, but my ability is very high. I am confident that I will become one of the top central defenders in the world!"

Tong Yi smiled and said, "Then what are you still hesitating about?"

Otamendi suddenly raised his head and stared at Tong Yi very seriously: "Are you really serious? Do you really not mind my promotion? Do you really believe that I can become one of the top central defenders in the world?"

Tong Yi nodded firmly and said, "If I don't think highly of you and don't believe in you, how could I come to you?"

Otamendi was stunned, and his eyes instantly turned red when he looked at Tong Yi.

He took several deep breaths and then said very seriously, "Do you really believe me?"

Tong Yi nodded firmly and said, "Of course!"

Otamendi immediately said, "Okay, then I'll go with you, I'll go to Munich 1860!"

Tong Yi said, "You must think carefully. When you come to Munich 1860, you cannot be the absolute main force. You must be ready to rotate with Campbell and Senderos at any time. The three of you will be my defense line this season." Of course, the premise is that there is no problem with your own condition!"

Otamendi nodded firmly, "I've thought about it carefully, I'll go with you, I'll go to Munich 1860!"

Tong Yi was very satisfied. He didn't expect that he could convince Otamendi so easily. It seems that Otamendi has been holding it in for too long!

Tong Yi patted Otamendi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, those who have looked down on you will regret it in the new season!"

Otamendi nodded firmly.

Tong Yi said, "You contact your agent here, and I will take care of it in Sarsfield."

Otamendi immediately said, "Okay, don't worry, I can take care of the business. If Sarsfield also needs my help, I'm bound to do it!"

Tong Yi saw Otamendi's determination to go to Europe.

Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will contact you if necessary, and compete with the team well!"

After chatting with Otamendi for a while, Tong Yi left.

He still has a lot of things to do. He is now going to discuss Otamendi's transfer with Sarsfield. This matter is not easy to deal with. Sarsfield's price for Otamendi is a bit high, and it looks like a black shop.

And Munich 1860 didn't have that much money to waste, so Tong Yi had to contend with Sarsfield for a while.

Tong Yi immediately asked Nagelsmann, who was far away in Germany, to make a symbolic offer of 4 million euros to the Sarsfield Club of Argentina. Purchased Argentina international centre-back Otamendi.
