Chapter 134 The Pirates Are Going
Although many people in his previous life thought that Gravesen's transfer to Real Madrid was the peak of his career, in Vardy's view, this was definitely not a wise move.
In Everton, Gravesen is an offensive and defensive hub. He must not only defend the midfield and organize the team's offense. It has a bit of an all-round midfielder. Everton's environment makes him feel as if he is in water.
But in Real Madrid, there are many superstars in the middle and frontcourts, wherever he has room for his performance, no matter which coach, he treats him as a complete engineer, wasting his offensive talent.
During his one and a half years of playing for Real Madrid, Gravesen only made 35 appearances in total, including substitutes and cup appearances, and the Vikings became a completely marginal figure in Spain.
Finally, before the 2006-07 season, Gravesen was kicked out by Capello because he fought with Robinho on the training ground.
After that, Gravesen completely disappeared from the mainstream sight.
If Gravesen doesn't go to Real Madrid, then his career achievements should be much more than that, right?
There are not so many ifs in the world, but now, once again at the turning point of fate, Vardy feels that he can do something!
"I believe what you said. I know your agent is very energy-driven, and Real Madrid really needs a defensive player after Marklele leaves. It's not surprising that they like you!" Valdy sighed.
The other three people widened their eyes and thought about this possibility in their hearts. They were surprised to find that Gravesen was not far from Real Madrid.
"Thomas, are you really going to Real Madrid?"
Gravesen nodded, a little excited, but a little reluctant.
"Yes, my agent is trying to make the transfer, and the Everton Club has basically agreed!"
For a moment, the room fell into silence and no one knew how to speak.
Everton's performance is very good. Although Valdy is recognized as the catalyst, Gravesen, as the backbone of the midfield, also plays a crucial role in it. Once Gravesen, the midfielder, leaves, Everton's midfield strength will suddenly drop to a higher level.
Will Everton still rank third in the Premier League?
But they cannot interfere with Gravesen's pursuit of higher peaks. As friends, they should bless them.
Who is Real Madrid?
The most successful club in the world has the most loyal fans around the world. Florentino's superstar tactics have created a super Galaxy battleship.
Every move of every star can cause a chain reaction in the world football world and attract more attention.
Regardless of his own position, no player can resist the temptation of joining Real Madrid, and Gravesen is of course no exception.
Should I convince Gravesen to give up joining Real Madrid and stay in Everton?
Although Vardy knew that this was the best choice, Gravesen had never experienced it and he would definitely not know.
After thinking about it, Vardy still spoke: "Real Madrid has many superstars, and even Beckham can only be forced to play as a midfielder and use it as an engineer. I doubt how much playing time you can get if you join Real Madrid!"
"Real Madrid does not have a defensive midfielder now, so it's just right for me to go?" Gravesen obviously didn't care. Perhaps Real Madrid had already given him some kind of promise.
Vardy frowned, "This is the problem. You have to know that Real Madrid is definitely the focus of fans around the world, but everyone's attention is on the major superstars in the frontcourt, and fans will not care about the defensive players behind them."
"Playing football at Real Madrid requires huge pressure. The superstars in the frontcourt will not come back to defend. As the only defensive midfielder, you should be able to imagine how much defensive pressure will they bear!"
"Think about Marklele, why did he leave Real Madrid?"
"Superstars enjoy admiring eyes, and the defensive players silently contribute. Once there is a problem with the defense, others will not blame the superstars because their task is to attack, but you will become the scapegoat!"
"Don't blame me for saying it badly. If you didn't succeed in Real Madrid, then after a year or two, can you still stay in the mainstream football circle?"
Vardy's words made Graveson frown. He knew that what Vardy said was true, but he deliberately didn't want to think about it in the face of huge temptation.
Although it shines under the spotlight, it is not so easy to survive. This has been proven by countless martyrs.
In fact, in Valdi's view, Gravesen's style is really not suitable for Real Madrid. Although the defensive power contributed is obvious to all, Real Madrid's defense cannot be supported by one person, and his skills are far less delicate than Spanish players. He relies more on his body, which is unbearable in La Liga.
The most critical issue is that Real Madrid may not be able to pay Gravesen too high a salary, otherwise wouldn’t it be better for them to leave Maclale?
Gravesen fell into long-term contemplation, which was related to his future, and no one could be careless.
If anyone gained the most benefit in this transfer, it was definitely not Everton, it was definitely not Gravesen, and Real Madrid might not be either.
There is only one real beneficiary, that is Gravesen's agent.
Everton lost his midfield barrier and still lost at an extremely low price;
Gravesen's career began to decline, but he finally retired, and he was obviously not a beneficiary either;
Real Madrid bought a midfielder at a low price, but it didn't come in too much use, so there was no profit at all;
The agent hidden behind him became a well-known agent through this operation, and his business grew bigger and bigger since then, so he was the ultimate beneficiary.
The most critical issue is that no one can see this except Vardy.
"Jamie, then I'll ask you, will you go back to Manchester United after this season end?" Graveson suddenly asked Valdy.
Vardy was stunned and opened her mouth, but said nothing.
In fact, he doesn't know whether he will return to Manchester United.
At least he is having a great time now at Everton. This season is very hopeful to lead the team into the Champions League. Standing at a higher level to appreciate the scenery, you will have a different feeling.
But this question cannot be avoided after all. His ownership is in Manchester United, and he admits that he is more eager to play football at Manchester United, and Everton's platform is too small.
I am eager to develop with a larger platform, let alone Gravesen.
Perhaps there are some things that can only be known whether they are right or wrong after doing them!
