Chapter 532 Embarrassing Suarez
Millwall's transfer department believes that snatching Sneider from Real Madrid is the most successful transfer in the summer.
Zhang Yang's views are different.
When Zhang Yang heard that Sneider was going to join the team, he felt a little headache. Of course, Sneider is a good player. He is the core midfielder who will lead Inter Milan in the future and win the "Triple Crown" honor, and will also be the core midfielder of the Dutch team in the future.
None of the above has happened yet. The moment I chose to join Millwall, the future has changed dramatically, but Sneder's excellence is undeniable.
Sneider is a natural star.
When many stars are underestimated, Sneijder doesn't seem to see this, and the past has been smooth.
Sneider was born in a pure football family. His father and brother were both professional players. He entered the Ajax Club youth training camp for training at the age of seven. Ten years later, he played for Ajax's first team. At the age of eighteen, he took advantage of the team's injury and settled in the main position of the first team.
During his five seasons with Ajax, Sneider won all the championship titles in the Dutch domestic arena and made 180 appearances in various competitions, scoring 58 goals.
Sneijder has been even stronger in the past season, with 47 appearances in various competitions and scoring 22 goals.
As a midfielder, such statistics are absolutely amazing.
Sneijder also commented on his excellent performance, which attracted the attention of major families.
From the perspective of introducing powerful stars, it is indeed very successful to be able to grab Sneider from Real Madrid. Zhang Yang is also very happy that Sneider can join, but one thing is very important-
Sneider's location!
Sneider is not a pure wing player. He mainly plays as the core midfielder. After he comes to the team to adapt, he may squeeze out Morris' position and compete with Braniff for the core.
Millwall is not very lacking in a strong core. On the contrary, after Sneid arrived, it will be difficult to arrange the midfield in the middle.
Sneijder seemed to have replaced Smitchell, but he was much stronger than Smitchell. The main position must be guaranteed, and he will definitely become a "center" player when he appears. The midfield position needs to be carefully considered and arranged.
Zhang Yang was satisfied with the forward signing because the club successfully signed Suarez.
Suarez is one of the best players of the future.
The name of "Su Shen" is still very loud. His other title, "Buck-Tooth Su", is also talked about by many people. It is not a discriminatory title, but just a joke given by fans.
Suarez is not very famous yet. He only plays in the Dutch League. Groningen is not a highly watched team. Only the Dutch team will pay attention to this young forward who played 37 times for Groningen and scored 17 goals.
When Groningen dug Suarez from Uruguay, he paid only 800,000 euros in transfer fees. A year later, Suarez's value rose to more than 5 million euros. Ajax's offer to Suarez was 7 million euros.
Wilkinson didn't know Suarez's name at all. After a careful look, he found that this "not very famous" young striker was really expensive, but this also shows that Suarez is extraordinary. Otherwise, Ajax, who is good at discovering stars, would definitely not offer such a high price.
Millwall quickly joined the competition.
This is actually a bit unruly. Ajax is the leading club in the Dutch League. Ordinary players first pass through the hands of Ajax and Eindhoven before entering the five major leagues. Few teams will directly explore players from the Dutch League.
After Mirwall joined, the Groningen Club was very happy. They set up prices to sell Suarez to a high price of tens of millions of euros.
Of course that is impossible.
Millwall is not a sucker and will not wave the checks wantonly. Millwall and Ajax are still talking about Sneijder's transfer. The relationship between the two clubs is very friendly and will not tear apart for a young forward. In the end, Suarez himself will make a decision.
This is a very interesting process.
Suarez is in Barcelona with his girlfriend Sofia, and his agent Fonseca tells him that Ajax and Mirvoir are interested in him.
Suarez was a little interested when he heard Millwall's name, but no one could have imagined that his interest was, "Milwall is a London team, right?"
"right."
"London is closer to Barcelona," Suarez said to his girlfriend Sofia. "We will be closer to your house in the future! Maybe it will only take an hour." After he said that, he looked at his agent, "Then choose Mirvoor."
That's the situation.
Suarez's agent was not surprised at all, but felt that it was normal, because Suarez has always been like this. Everyone said that he came to Europe for the sake of football. But people familiar with Suarez knew that he chose to leave Uruguay and join a small club in the Netherlands, with the main purpose of reuniting with his girlfriend Sofia.
Suarez and Sofia have known each other since childhood. At that time, Suarez was a teenager and his family was very poor. In order to buy gifts for Sofia, he would even go to the corner to search for coins dropped by pedestrians. The two officially dated for two years. Sofia's family moved to Barcelona. Suarez was heartbroken and decided to play football in Europe.
Last year, Suarez realized his dream. He didn't have to come to Europe from faraway South America to see Sofia. He accepted the invitation from the Dutch Little Club and asked Sofia to agree to settle in the Netherlands with him.
Facing an important choice in his career, Suarez is very clear-headed. He doesn't know whether Ajax or Millwall is better, but Millwall is in London and is a Premier League team. He is closer to Barcelona, so he has no reason to choose Ajax.
With Suarez joining, Zhang Yang is no longer worried about the front line.
Darren Bent left, Jamie Vardy supported him, and Suarez, who was enough to be a substitute, and Millwall's forward strength has not weakened. Next, add it, just add a tactical center.
From this perspective, it is a pity that Balotelli did not join. Balotelli was enough to play center, but Zhang Yang carefully checked it and knew why the club could not introduce Balotelli.
He is still too young!
Balotelli is a standard post-90s generation. He is only seventeen years old. According to the rules of Italian football, players of this age can only get an apprenticeship contract. Even Italian professional clubs can only sign contracts for three years at most.
In addition, Balotelli's background is also very complicated. He is not an Italian yet because he is an adopted child. Until now, the adoption relationship has not been officially confirmed.
In the end, Inter Milan did not let anyone go.
Inter Milan is not a fool. Balotelli showed the potential of genius at the age of fifteen. He played in the Italian League C and performed well. Inter Milan's transfer department had already signed Balotelli and promised to sign a professional contract.
Balotelli will be able to join Inter Milan's first team immediately and will naturally not leave to other clubs, which will make the future full of uncertainty.
Anyway, Balotelli can't come.
Zhang Yang didn't feel too regretful, but because other signings failed, he had to reconsider the introduction of the center.

On July 4, the official website of Mirwall Club announced a deal - left winger Maxi Rodriguez, who played for Atletico Madrid in Spain, officially joined Mirwall in the new season.
Millwall did not announce the details of the contract, but Zhang Yang knew that the transfer fee was no big deal - 9.1 million euros, a number that was not high or low.
Maxi Rodriguez is an excellent left winger. In his first season at Atletico Madrid, he officially became the main player. He made 31 appearances in the league and scored eleven goals. It can be seen that Maxi Rodriguez is also an efficient wing player.
If Maxi Rodriguez insists on performing like this, Atletico Madrid will not be able to deal with him cheaply for less than 10 million euros. The key is that last season, Maxi Rodriguez suffered a serious injury, only making ten appearances for Atletico Madrid. Although ten appearances helped the team score six goals, Atletico Madrid is still worried that Maxi Rodriguez will continue to get injured in the future.
When they learned that Millwall was looking to buy Maxi Rodriguez, Atletico Madrid was very hesitant, but after they jointly studied it, they found that the risk of staying Maxi Rodriguez was too great. There were qualified substitutes in the team, and the impact of Maxi Rodriguez's departure was not great.
Zhang Yang is so satisfied with Maxi Rodriguez's joining
Atletico Madrid is worried that Maxi will continue to suffer injuries or be affected by injuries, and his condition will decline significantly. Zhang Yang has no such concern. He used the "Lucky Prophet" to calculate Maxi's "Physical Health Luck Index" and found that his index was '85'.
This number is quite high.
The average player is only in the range of 70 to 80, and the higher ones are only in the early 80s. The 85 figure shows that Maxi is very lucky and has a low possibility of injury. Zhang Yang was a little surprised. A player who was constantly injured last season became less likely to be injured in the second season?
"Isn't this a person who has accumulated a person's character after being injured, is it?"
Zhang Yang complained slightly and was very satisfied with Maxi's joining.
Maxi is a left-handed player, and his position is similar to Pire. With Maxi's joining and Pire's stable addition, the team can be said to be foolproof on the right.

Two days later, Zhang Yang met Suarez.
Suarez came to the club for a physical examination. After the experience was completed, it was equivalent to officially joining the team. Many people in the club were interested in this Uruguayan young man who was "not very famous but worth 8 million euros". In addition, it was also because Suarez was introduced by Zhang Yang by name.
Zhang Yang's vision is still very trusted, especially in the signing of forwards, such as Darren Bent and Jamie Valdy, they all brought it to the team with one hand, and they all performed very well.
The club welcomed Suarez very grandly. Wilkinson and the club's two managers came, and Aldes also took the time to come over, wanting to see what special place this Uruguayan young man was. Even Ebenezer, who was so busy that he couldn't rest, came and went around. A group of people were waiting for Suarez's physical examination to be over in front of the training ground.
Finally Suarez came out.
Suarez also has his girlfriend Sofia and agent Fonseca. Suarez is joking with Sofia, with a relaxed expression on his face, which is enough to prove the result.
When Fonseca saw a group of people in front, he quickly reminded Suarez.
Suarez looked up and knew that the club was coming to greet him. His expression seemed very calm, as if he was full of inattention, but in fact he was still a little nervous inside.
In fact, before joining Mirwall, Suarez had a very limited understanding of Mirwall, only knowing that they won the Champions League championship, and it seemed that there was a very young head coach.
Then, there is no more.
On weekdays, Suarez only cares about what he should care about, such as the results of his team and what games he will participate in next. He has many life hobbies, among which there is no such thing as ‘watching football’.
As a football player, it is very special that he doesn’t like watching football games.
Suarez felt that it would be better to stay with his girlfriend for a longer time than to watch the game.
A group of people came forward, Zhang Yang walked in front, looking at Suarez with a smile on his face, and also walked over. His expression seemed a little surprised, and then he took the initiative to reach out and hold it towards... Bruno Burley?
Bruno Burley stood beside Zhang Yang. He didn't react and shook hands with Suarez. Suarez said, "Coach Zhang Yang, hello, I've heard of your name for a long time. I'm very happy to be able to join your team..."
The scene suddenly became awkward.
The agent Fonseca was embarrassed. He felt embarrassed for Suarez. Sofia was embarrassed. She didn't know whether she wanted to remind Suarez.
Others were embarrassed, too.
Zhang Yang still kept a smile on his face, but he thought that he should wear some shoes for Suarez in the future, otherwise how could he be worthy of the scene at this time?
Only Bruno Burley didn't care at all. He was the "lowest position" among the group. He was just a youth team coach and barely got the club's contract. Occasionally, he would come to the first team to help. When he saw Suarez admit the wrong person, he found it very interesting and held Suarez's hand and laughed.
Suarez was still a little confused, so he heard Bruno Burley say, "Before you came, you definitely didn't do your job well and didn't even know Zhang Yang!"
A group of people looked at Zhang Yang.
Chapter completed!
