Chapter 812： Who is the next one?

>,!

When Fabregas, accompanied by coach Bielsa and executive chairman Nila Cortez, sat in the press conference room, receiving inquiries from reporters and the media, Yang Huan sat behind the scenes.

When the reporter of the newspaper faced Fabregas and asked why he chose Southampton instead of returning to Arsenal, Fabregas's answer made Yang Huan feel quite uncomfortable.

Don't look at Southampton's current momentum, but compared with the real giants, there is still a gap.

The most obvious is that Southampton does not have Fabregas of its own!

Perhaps, according to the current road of Southampton, continue to move forward, after a few years of accumulation, the Saints will slowly accumulate the wealth of the rich team, but at least not yet.

As for the question raised by the reporter just now, Yang Huan can only be haha.

Everyone says that Arsenal’s fans are somewhat idealistic, and this is true.

If, using Simon Hughes' point of view, even if Fabregas can't play the ball, he's stubborn, he doesn't need salary or anything. Anyway, he has to return to Arsenal.

Why?

Without him, this is called loyalty!

This is worthy of the Arsenal who cultivated you, isn't it?

But everyone knows that this kind of thinking is simply nonsense, even more than just nonsense!

The reason professional football is professional football is because playing football is a profession for players.

Changing the club is like hopping.

Fabregas moved from Arsenal to Barcelona, ​​as if he had moved from a well-known British company to the Fortune 500 in Spain. As a result, he was unhappy in the Fortune 500 and wanted to return to the UK to find jobs.

Who special rules must go back to the original company?

The original company has never thought about it. You still have to ask them to go. If you don’t go, you are not loyal or moral.

Those who say this kind of thinking really have problems!

However, Fabregas's answer just now gave Yang Huan a lot of ideas.

Among them, the most important point is how to provide players with adequate protection, which is quite important.

It is like a company that, in addition to the five social insurances and one housing fund, also provides you with additional protection, such as placement, such as help in life, or helping your child find a school, and so on.

"Peter, Ron, we are financially ample now, and we must keep up in terms of player protection. We will not only provide players with the best in the world at Glory Stadium and Staplewood, but also Outside the scope of the club, provide players with as much help and service as possible."

"Only in this way, they will have a sense of belonging and affection for us, and they will be able to feel at ease and do their best to win the game for us on the court. Do you understand what I mean?"

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley nodded together.

Master Huan's meaning is very clear, they all understand.

Many welfare measures for serving employees are quite common in large companies, but in football circles, they are still rare, or even non-existent, because in the club’s view, this is tantamount to an unprovoked increase in their own operating costs.

Don't think it's a joke. Almost all football clubs, even those giants, still live in the age of lying down and making money, because they are unique!

But in the not-too-distant future, under the scouring of the capital tide, these teams, and even some giants, that are trying to lie down to make money, may not be able to hold on and be eliminated.

It's like Nottingham Forest Aston Villa Hamburg Ajax and other once brilliant teams were eventually eliminated by professional football.

If you can't keep up with the times, it's only a matter of time before you get eliminated!

While Yang Huan was thinking about the problem, the news conference outside continued.

This news conference has attracted more than one million people's attention on the Internet and watched the live broadcast, which is quite shocking. It can even be said to be a grand event in the Internet sports circle.

Southampton has already accumulated a wealth of experience in this area, and it has done a good job in fan interaction.

During the entire press conference, fans on the Internet were also able to actively participate and ask questions.

For example, a Saints fan asked Bielsa a question, Modric, who is about to be sold, Fabregas, who is the better player?

This is also the thinking and problem of a typical Internet fan.

Therefore, when this problem appeared on the big screen in the news conference hall, there was almost a roar of laughter.

Many reporters even booed up, just waiting to see how Bielsa answered this sharp question.

You know, Modric has not officially left the team, and Fabregas is sitting on the side, how to answer?

Unexpectedly, after reading the question seriously, Bielsa answered the question very seriously.

"These are two players of different styles." This was his first sentence.

"In terms of game ability, the two are almost the same, both are quite good midfielders, but Cesk's technique is more delicate, the vertical passing is more threatening, and the forward attack and scoring ability are also quite good. They are all better than Luca."

"But Luca's ability to push the ball and get rid of it, as well as his running and tenacious defense in the game, are better than Cesc. This is modern football tactics. A midfielder is very Invaluable outstanding features."

"No player is perfect. They are top-notch in all aspects. They will have their own advantages and disadvantages. So I think that Modric and Fabregas, no one is stronger, as long as Give them a tactical environment that suits them, and they are all the best world-class midfielders."

Many reporters at the scene fell one after another. Isn't this too straightforward?

However, it seems to be a kind of Tai Chi.

But soon, the next question was the turn of the reporter on the scene, and someone immediately asked another question, but this time Fabregas asked, "How do you evaluate what Bielsa said?"

If it was a little bit obscure before, then this time it would be a straightforward provocation.

Fabregas is very aware of these tactics of the media reporters and said with a slight smile: "Marcelo told me these words before, and I also know his requirements and expectations of me. I believe that in Southampton, I can find the strongest Fabregas."

He just barely said it in person, I have understood the careful thoughts of you guys, don't make any trouble!

And the next problem is equally difficult to deal with.

A Saints fan raised a question on the Internet, that is, in Barcelona, ​​Fabregas is a striker, but Southampton introduced him in midfield, so the fans asked, relative to goals and assists, Fabregas What do you like better?

Fabregas also calmly dealt with this issue, saying that he prefers assists.

"I have played as a forward for a long time. I am cruising around the opponent's penalty area. I have to face the opponent's defense directly. Although I have scored a lot of goals, I still find that I prefer to be behind. I enjoy assisting a lot, watching my pass and helping my teammates score goals, it’s a very happy thing."

Yang Huan was in the background and was very satisfied with Fabregas's answer and knew the general idea.

"He is still so mature and calm!" Peter Kenyon said with a smile.

When he was at Manchester United, he almost brought in the sixteen-year-old Fabregas.

At Chelsea, I also wanted to bring in Fabregas in his early twenties.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the Spanish midfielder.

Yang Huan kept nodding his head, precocity is what Fabregas has been talking about for many years.

Otherwise, he can represent Arsenal at the age of sixteen?

Will he be able to squeeze Vieira early, take the center of the midfield, and put Arsenal's captain's armband on his back?

In theory, what Bielsa said just now was correct.

Fabregas and Modric are midfielders at the same level. In terms of their ability to play, it is difficult to distinguish between them.

To some extent, Fabregas's advantages are precisely Modric's shortcomings, and the Croatian midfielder's advantages are precisely Fabregas's shortcomings.

But these two players have a weakness, and even because of this, Fabregas is unable to gain a foothold in Barcelona's midfield, that is, the ability to build offensive and defensive order.

Football games are very complicated and full of unpredictable changes.

But in fact, there is a class of players possessing a near-predictive ability.

Or it should be said that they can clarify the ideas of offense and defense slowly and step by step through every run, every pass, and every response they make, and control the rhythm of the game steadily. To build the team's offense and defense.

In modern football tactics, offense and defense are inseparable and integrated.

This puts higher demands on the players who control the construction of the team's offensive and defensive order, whether it is technology or awareness.

Therefore, Pirlo's rear midfielder is known as one of the greatest changes in football tactics in the past decade.

Because he has this ability!

Harvey is like this, and Harvey Alonso is like that.

So who is next?

Busquets?

No, the closest one is Tony Cross!

This is a midfielder-level player and the core of the Southampton team's offense and defense.

Don’t look at him as many times as Modric Vidal, or James Rodriguez, but it is precisely his seemingly boring, unimaginative steady pass, silently constructing Start the offensive and defensive order in Southampton.

It's like this glorious stadium in Southampton.

When everyone mentions an architect, they only think of Norman Foster.

Who knows Huang Ying?

Who knows the obscure architects of Foster + Partners?

Neither Fabregas nor Modric lacked Tony Cross's ability to build an offensive and defensive order.

This is why Fabregas was not only unable to replace Harvey in Barcelona, ​​but was even forced to push his position forward.

Yang Huan suddenly realized a very interesting problem, that is, almost everyone felt that Southampton introduced Fabregas to replace Modric.

But in fact, is it true?

A very important reason why Southampton scored so much last season is that Tony Cross, who is good at building offensive and defensive order, and Modric, who is good at getting rid of and advancing with the ball, is good at the last pass and the front of the penalty zone. Hames Rodriguez, who has outstanding footwork, rose to the top and showed very eye-catching assists.

But now, Fabregas is here, who is good at the last pass and the offense. Who will he replace?

It should be James Rodriguez!

What about Modric?

If it is analyzed from the function of the player's role, who should be responsible for Modric's escape and ball advancement ?

Paul Pogba is pretty good.

The performance of the French midfielder in the Southampton team was also quite eye-catching last season, but the limelight was somewhat concealed by James Rodriguez. In addition, in the Champions League, Bielsa relied more on the experienced Kaka. Or a more balanced Oscar, so Pogba did not attract media attention as he showed.

But within Southampton, and even in European football, the attention to Pogba is quite high.

Almost everyone agrees that Pogba will be one of the best midfielders in the next decade.

Southampton also positioned the French midfielder as the center of the midfield for the Saints in the next ten years, and cultivated and refined it in accordance with this idea.

However, multi-line combat in the new season, relying on one Pogba alone is obviously not enough.

Therefore, Yang Huan also plans to introduce another world-class midfielder, that is...
