Chapter 246 Master Huan's World, Who Understands?
Otagon, which means octagon in English.
In reality, everyone who knew him knew that he was very sophisticated.
He is a football agent with no qualifications and not much fame.
But he took the players under his command to many Premier League giants.
This is enough to see his ability.
At this moment, sitting in the stands of the Aarhus football stadium in Denmark, watching the final of the U21 European Youth Championship, Spain defeated England 2-0, and he showed a bitter smile.
"This England youth team has Gibbs, Phil Jones, Micah Richards and Smalling in the back and Cleverley, Henderson, Rodwell, Sinclair and Adam Lara in the midfield. Rana, Sturridge and Welbeck up front."
He casually read out most of the players on the England U21 starting list and bench for this final.
He is Daniel Sturridge's agent.
"There are so many young players who have a place in the Premier League, but in the final, they were beaten by Spain to no avail. Is it because Spain is too strong or England is too weak."
Having said this, Otagon turned his head sideways and glanced at the old man sitting beside him.
Head scout from Southampton, Ramon Madoni.
A gold scout who is respected in Argentine football as an eye-catching scout.
Ramon Madoni personally came to Denmark to inspect the U21 European Youth Championship, because many Southampton players participated in this event, including several players from both sides in this game.
Spain's captain Xavi? Martinez and Carvajal, as well as England's Daniel? Sturridge and U21 youth team bench player Lavel? Morrison.
Adam Lallana used to belong to Southampton, but now he belongs to Chelsea.
In fact, a focus of investigation in this game is Adam Lallana, who served as the midfielder of the England U21 national team, against Xavi Martinez in the midfield position of Spain.
As a result, Adam Lallana did nothing throughout the game.
Harvey Martinez is very general,
He performed very well in the midfield and was the backbone of the Spanish national team's midfield and backcourt, making Ramon Madoni also very bright.
But in his mind, he was thinking about the words of Master Huan.
"Who said it was a midfielder? I bought him to make him play as a central defender!"
Even now, Ramon Madoni still finds it funny.
A player who has always played in the midfield midfielder position, but was brought in to play as a central defender?
Isn't this nonsense?
After watching Harvey Martinez's performance in this game, Ramon Madoni felt that he was very suitable for playing the defensive midfielder.
As for the effect of playing a central defender... who knows?
But no one dared to easily question Young Master Huan's thoughts and vision.
Because in the past, he has proven himself right countless times.
The only thing to do is to sigh.
Master Huan's world, who understands?
Adam Lallana's sluggish performance in this game once again confirmed Bielsa's foresight.
He is one of the few skilled players in English football who can play as an attacking midfielder, especially for a top team. He has yet to show such strength.
Selling Adam Lallana and further releasing Ibrahimovic seems like the right move.
Otagon saw that Ramon Madoni had been silent, apparently thinking about his own business, and didn't bother for a while.
Nor did he feel dissatisfied because the other party did not answer his own questions.
Because he knows his weight and weight.
By the time Ramon Madoni looked up, the players on both sides had already left the field.
Although it is the European Youth Championship, there are not many fans in the stands.
"Ramon, let's go down." Otagon suggested.
Ramon Madoni nodded.
The two walked down the stairs from the stand, reported their identities to the staff, and walked directly into the stadium.
"Hi Ramon!"
As soon as Carvajal saw Ramon Madoni, he smiled and greeted him.
"Daniel, I didn't perform well in this game, especially on the offensive end. I wasn't committed enough and I wasted my chances several times!" Ramon Madoni said with a slight smile.
Carvajal smiled and pointed to Adam Lallana, who came from a distance. "This is the coach's arrangement. He often moves on the left side, so my defense will be under more pressure."
"What about me?" Adam Lallana walked right in front of them. "Hello, Ramon!"
"Hello, Adam!" Ramon Madoni greeted him with a smile.
After a year of getting along, although they are about to become rivals, off the court, their friendship is still there.
"The captain of Spain is our newly introduced player?" Adam Lallana asked with a frown.
Although he has already transferred, he still regards Southampton as his own.
Going to Chelsea is a career, but Southampton is a home.
Ramon Madoni nodded, "Harvey Martinez, from Athletic Bilbao."
After the end, he asked again with a smile, "How do you feel?"
The most valuable evaluation of a player is undoubtedly from a real opponent.
Adam Lallana shook his head, "This guy has a really good physique, he's very accurate in his positioning and prediction, and his defense is also quite good. In short, he's a troublesome character!"
Carvajal laughed, "Our captain is not only capable of defending, but his skills are also quite good."
"Really?" Adam Lallana didn't suspect it was fake.
In many cases, a player's performance on the court is not necessarily a reflection of his true strength, but more about obeying tactical needs.
As a defensive midfielder, Harvey Martinez doesn't have many opportunities to perform at his feet. It is not necessarily true that he is technically excellent.
Although everyone knows that the U21 European Youth Championship has no influence, and even the finals are full of dissatisfaction, but it is a championship honor.
Having lost the final, England's players lacked interest.
Ramon Madoni comforted Adam Lallana.
Although he performed badly in the final, England was able to stand out from the group stage all the way and reach the final. As a core midfielder, he has contributed a lot.
At the very least, his £40 million price tag will be far less controversial after this one event.
But compared to Adam Lallana, Daniel Sturridge is much more depressed.
In the previous half-season, he was quite eye-catching after going on loan to Bolton.
Bolton was able to avoid relegation in the end, relying on his striker Daniel? Sturridge, on the defensive line on Gary? Cahill.
However, after coming to England U21, the main center of the team belongs to Welbeck of Manchester United.
Sturridge's characteristics have not been brought into full play, which has to be said to be a deficiency of head coach Pierce.
"Hello, Daniel." Ramon Madoni met the 21-year-old, accompanied by his agent Otagon.
"Hello, Ramon." Sturridge was a little disinterested.
Ramon Madoni noticed this and made a judgment in his heart.
This is a player who is very competitive and does not like to lose.
This is very similar to the character of Southampton.
"I came to Denmark this time to check on you."
Sturridge remained calm.
He previously played for Manchester City and Chelsea before being loaned out to Bolton, both Premier League teams.
Southampton, who has joined the Championship now, is calm and natural.
Even, faintly, he was a little indignant.
He felt that going to Southampton was a bit of a step backwards.
"We learned that you were injured when you were in Bolton before. How are you recovering now?"
Sturridge was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the other party to make a special trip to Denmark for this matter.
"It's okay, there's no problem."
Ramon Madoni didn't say much, "For the sake of safety, we recommend that you come to the team to report in advance, and we will do the most detailed physical examination for you to solve the hidden dangers of your body."
Sturridge thought for a while and nodded, but instead of answering, he asked.
"Can I play the main force in the new season?" he asked directly.
Ramon Madoni chuckled, "Of course, if you think you have the strength."
Sturridge seemed very confident, "Of course I believe in myself."
"Then get ready." Ramon Madoni encouraged with a smile.
"Bielsa and I both like you to play as a centre forward, but to compete with Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba, you have to work harder!"
"Drogba?" Sturridge was shocked and lost his voice.
"Drogba is really going to Southampton?"
Ramon Madoni smiled, but didn't say anything, it was a default.
"I have to go, you adjust and rest well, I hope that when the team is training, you are ready!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Self-confidence is a good thing for young people, and maybe, in the long run, he should be a little frustrated.
After all, pride and self-confidence are often only separated by a thin line.

"Bruce Buck has made it clear to me!"
In a mansion on the outskirts of London, agent Cedi is relaying to Drogba the meaning from Chelsea management.
"He told me with great certainty that Abramovich would not see you, and he also told me that now we have only two options, either to play at Southampton, or to sit on the bench at Chelsea for a year. Pick one."
When Drogba heard this, he was immediately furious, "Choose one of the two?"
He was trembling with rage, because he never thought that he would be so humiliated.
Who is he?
Warcraft Drogba!
The world's top center, even if he is 33 years old!
But now, he was threatened like this by the club.
Can he not get angry?
"Those bastards, those bastards, they're all son of a bitch!"
Drogba roared in anger, kept swearing foul language, and paced back and forth in his living room, very indignant.
The economic man Sedi was equally indignant.
For what Drogba has done to Chelsea over the years, he should not be treated like this.
He is a Chelsea hero!
Last season, if it wasn't for Drogba, would Chelsea be able to keep the Champions League qualification? That's a question!
But now, the hero is so threatened by the club's top management.
what is this?
How to convince the public with such indifference?
But after thinking about it again, Sadie was helpless.
In the final analysis, today's professional football is still the era of capital.
To put it simply, it is money that counts.
Whoever has money can control the right to speak.
Just like Manchester City, nouveau riche?
But people are able to smash a lineup with the strength to win the championship in the shortest possible time.
There is also Southampton, a team in the lower leagues, but they are sitting on a set. Even in the Premier League, they have a lineup that can compete with all the top teams.
Behind professional football is capital operation.
Drogba is already thirty-three years old, and he is no longer a young boy.
After a burst of anger, he quickly realized that anger would not solve the problem.
All I want to do now is to figure out a problem.
"Why do they have to send me to Southampton?" Drogba felt strange.
Forcing him to transfer, he can understand.
But the question is, why does it have to be Southampton?
Sadie smiled bitterly, "I have received some rumors about this, but I don't know if it's true or not."
What happened in the royal box is a top secret.
Even a well-connected agent, or even a reporter, often can only get some information that is chaotic.
No one would easily divulge what happened in the royal box.
Unless, this person does not want to continue to mix in this circle from now on.
This is an unspoken rule that everyone pursues in the upper class.
"Let's hear it!" Drogba looked very calm. ()
