"The little guy is crazy about it, but that watch is quite expensive, I'm a little greedy. Don't you plan to give me one?"

On the phone, Rakitic asked hopefully.

Although he can afford it with his salary, compared to a big dog like Su Ke, his financial resources are still very restrained and a bit painful.

"Okay!" Su Ke said casually; "If you win a Champions League, I will reward you with one!"

Rakitic; "Can the Europa League work?"

"Get out!"

Winning the Europa League title in Sevilla, do you have the nerve to mention it?

Sevilla won the Europa League in the 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 seasons, and there will be more in the future.

This is the club known as the King of the European League, and Suker is not stupid!

"How is the performance of this new generation?" Su Ke asked.

"So-so!" Rakitic: "At the moment, there is nothing particularly amazing. Maybe we are too good."

Suk grinned.

This guy can fucking do it.

"However, I heard Brozovic say that the teacher at Dinamo Zagreb also raised a younger genius named Mateo Kovacic, but he was too young. In 1994, Players, so I need to get some more experience and may be called up to the national team during the 2012 European Cup.”

Listening to Rakitic's words, Suker nodded.

If it is a big training, then you must catch the train for the European Cup.

This may be an express train leading directly to the 2014 World Cup. If you catch it, you will have the opportunity to create glory together. If you don't catch it, you may have to wait for a long time.

"Damn it, why are everyone in the midfield? It feels like the midfield is overflowing." Rakitic complained; "Me, Luka or Vukojevic, including Duimovic, the monster swordsman , there are already four, there are Kranjca, Kovac, and now Brozovic and Kovacic, there are more strikers, we are short of strikers!”

"Feeling stressed?" Suk asked.

Rakitic grinned; "Forget it Brozovic, he is not in the same position as me. He has to compete more with Luka and Vukojevic, but I have watched the video of Kovacic's game. The kid can play well." Yes, if you accelerate your growth, you will soon be able to threaten my position!"

He and Kovacic have similar technical characteristics, so they may be in direct competition in the future.

The most important thing is that Kovacic is too young.

damn it!

Youth is your capital!

"How's the defense going?" Srna asked.

This is his biggest concern.

"The defense is pretty good. At least it performed well in this game. Although a goal was conceded, it was not a problem with the defense. It was with the overall defense that there were some problems, which led to the goal being conceded. It’s Subasic, this guy is basically the main player, and his performance is more stable than Pletikosa.”

Pletikosa was Croatia's former main goalkeeper. He is not too old, but his state has some serious ups and downs.

God is the true God.

But once it wilts, things will happen frequently.

He has buttery hands, misses the ball, and even sometimes has a headache, but he actually takes the initiative.

Croatia doesn't need a goalkeeper, that's not the way they play now.

Therefore, compared to Pletikosa, the more stable Subasic naturally occupies the main position.

Suk and Srna also nodded slightly.

The replacement of the Croatian national team has begun again!

2006 was a major reorganization, which confirmed the main position of the third generation of Croatian internationals headed by Suker.

What followed was a series of adjustments, including the emergence of players like Perisic, and now another major adjustment has begun.

This time the adjustments are mainly focused on the defense.

Eliminate the weakness of old players such as Simunic and Kovac, and lead the defense by Srna and Planic to rectify the defense and tap new forces.

Brozovic, Lovren, Subasic, etc. also began to emerge.

Besic is not just talking nonsense, he has indeed begun preparations for the 2014 World Cup.

After adjustment comes running-in!

Training for the European Cup and the outbreak of the World Cup!

These need to be done step by step.

Besic firmly believes that victory belongs to those who are prepared.

"Good morning! It's another sunny day!"

The locker room door was pushed open, and Su Ke's hearty voice sounded.

It was like a ray of sunshine shining into the locker room, which made everyone smile unconsciously.

"Hey! We killed Denmark!" Pepe said happily.

Su Ke turned around and said: "What does it have to do with you? I have been suspended for one game for a total of three yellow cards."

Su Ke gave a thumbs up; "Did the referee's cards come to you?"

Regarding the issue of Pepe eating cards, it is like a dog who cannot change his eating of shit.

Repeat offenders are repeatedly punished, and repeated offenders are repeatedly punished.

This guy doesn't know what a lesson is. When his head is hot, he will hit the ball directly and hit it.

Pepe said dissatisfied; "I have a deterrent effect down there."

Suker rolled his eyes. Although the suspension period has passed, the Portuguese head coach still asked Pepe to calm down on the bench. The main reason is that this guy is used to being dealt cards and will directly receive a ruby ​​card next time.

This is a game against Denmark, and Portugal must pay great attention to it.

Although Pepe has outstanding abilities, he still needs to ensure stability, so he was placed on the bench.

"In the next league game, we play Sevilla away!"

Mourinho knocked on the tactical board and said: "Sevilla is a team with outstanding skills, which almost meets all the characteristics of Spanish football. At the same time, it is also very well organized on both offense and defense. Especially this season, they have introduced The new No. 10 player Rakitic!”

After saying that, Mourinho glanced at Suker and Srna, and then continued:

"The characteristics of this Croatian midfielder are very clear, with outstanding foot skills, awareness and overall view."

Mourinho almost hit the nail on the head when describing Rakitic's characteristics.

Even Suker and Srna, good friends who were familiar with Rakitic, sounded frightened.

It felt as if Rakitic had been stripped naked and stood in front of Mourinho.

I'll tell you all the advantages and disadvantages.

Rakitic gives a mixed impression.

He is an absolute core midfielder in Schalke 04, but he will become an engineering midfielder in the national team.

But this just proves Rakitic's adaptability and versatility!

In other words, it is very easy to use!

In Schalke 04 and Sevilla, he was a weapon for advancement.

Abundant physical fitness, excellent overall view and foot skills support his team moving forward.

In the Croatian national team, due to the presence of Modric, Rakitic has been deprived of some of his tactical resources, and for this reason he has to serve more as an engineer midfielder.

He looks at dirty work as tiring work, but he can also do fine work.

This is why Mourinho speaks so highly of Rakitic.

It's simple. Mourinho likes this type of midfielder. He can do whatever he is asked to do, and he can do everything.

The entire tactical meeting was very clear around Sevilla's characteristics, and Real Madrid also knew how to prepare for the next game.

After this league is over, they will face the Spanish National Derby.

It can be said that this is the frontline battle against Barcelona.

Get the Sevilla flag first, then Barcelona!

"I feel that Rakitic is also very suitable for us!" Srna said.

But Su Ke shook his head; "Where will he play when he comes? As a substitute?"

Of course, for a giant like Real Madrid, they will aim to build two luxurious lineups.

But Suker does not want Rakitic to come to Real Madrid as a substitute.

Although you can mix up the championship, you can only mix up your qualifications.

But this is not good for maintaining his condition.

Of course, there are also some selfish thoughts, that is, he does not want Rakitic to affect the performance of the national team because he plays as a substitute in Real Madrid.

As for the main position, it is difficult for Rakitic to compete.

In terms of forward, Su Ke and Kaká, how can Rakitic compete for these two positions?

His position is an attacking position, in front of midfield.

Only when Real Madrid plays 4-2-3-1, will there be a right midfielder position vacant. As for the central midfielder, this belongs to Kaká.

And even as a right midfielder, Rakitic still needs to compete with Di Maria.

Since the beginning of the preparation training, Mourinho has been almost at the training ground, constantly making gestures with the notebook in his hand.

This also made Real Madrid players feel a little frightened, especially some of the main players.

In this short period of contact, they have learned that when Mourinho keeps writing in his notebook, it means that Real Madrid's lineup will change.

However, I don’t know where this change will be.

Therefore, this is a pressure for the main force, and a hope for the substitutes.

"That's it for today's training!"

Mourinho waved to signal the end of training and dismissed everyone.

Immediately, Mourinho organized a meeting with all members of the coaching staff.

"This meeting is about exploring a possibility."

Mourinho held a piece of data in his hand and said:

"53 touches, 41 passes, 39 successes, 95% success rate"

"7 key passes! 2 assists!"

"2 passes, 2 successes!"

"2 long passes, 2 successes!"

"2 big chances created!"

"Losing the ball three times!"

"1 foul!"

"2 fouls!"

"3 steals, 2 interceptions, 2 of which directly launched counterattacks and successfully scored a goal!"

At this point, Mourinho raised his head: "There will be data on running distance, impact radiation, etc. in the follow-up. This is the data Kaka handed over when he played as a central midfielder. It is also combined with his many games. After the performance, I have an idea”

Looking at the assistant coaches, Mourinho said solemnly: "Can Kaka be transformed into a defensive midfielder?"

boom! !

The heads of all the coaches were suddenly in a trance.

Transform Kaka into a midfielder.

Kaka is also performing very well now!

"I'm not saying that Alonso is not good, but I think we may have better ones. This is the data Kaká produced when he played as a central midfielder. If he is placed in a deeper position, the data may be further improved. , which is a bigger increase for the team!”

Faria raised his hand; "What about Alonso?"

Mourinho turned around: "What we are discussing now is the possibility of transforming Kaká!"

Pintus touched his chin and said: "Kaka's physical fitness is good. If he makes further adjustments, he may be better. And just like Mr. Mourinho"

"Call me José!" Mourinho waved.

Through this period of time, he fully recognized Pintus and even intended to recruit Pintus into his personal coaching team.

"Okay!" Pintus nodded; "If you follow José's idea, this may also be a way to extend Kaka's career life. He is now 28 years old, and he can only continue in 2-3 years at most. Rushing will also increase the risk of injury, so the transformation can not only extend the career life of Kaka, but also give Real Madrid a stronger midfielder!"

Analyst Silvino Rouleau pushed up his glasses and said, "I also think it's feasible."

Not long after, members of the coaching staff nodded and agreed to the transformation plan.

Of course, if the transformation wants to proceed normally, Kaka's consent is also required.

Back in the office, as soon as Mourinho sat down, assistant coach Faria followed him in.

"José, it's not just that simple, right?" Faria said solemnly.

"What?" Mourinho raised his eyebrows.

Faria pursed her lips; "This transformation is too sudden, and it is to replace Alonso's position. The Spanish side is over there."

Mourinho smiled: "You finally thought of it!"

Faria sighed.

After Mourinho joined Real Madrid, he devoted himself to suppressing the Spanish gang.

At first, he pulled Diarra down, straightened Di Maria, and tested the bottom line of the Spanish gang.

Finding that there was no movement from the other side, Mourinho was ready to add another fire.

Of course, this is also based on the strengthening of Real Madrid's lineup. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Mourinho currently does not have enough say in the locker room, so it is unrealistic for him to fight against the local Spanish gang alone.

But what if another faction in the locker room is dragged into trouble?

Moreover, can Suk and Kaka refuse this temptation?

Although it is an attempt, it is also a key transformation that can extend the career life of Kaka.

What's more, once it succeeds, it will benefit a lot for Kaka.

Mourinho is happy with his plan.

First: He may have increased the strength of Real Madrid's midfield, and he is famous!

Second; he can slightly intensify the relationship between some Spanish local gangs and foreign factions such as Su Ke. Although it will not be tense, it will definitely not be as friendly as before.

Third: Mourinho maintains this balance. Once he gets results at the end of the season, he will take control of the locker room in one fell swoop!

So no matter what, this renovation plan must be carried out, and it must be successful!

The next day, Mourinho called Kaka over alone, and the two chatted for a long time.

It wasn't until lunch break that Kaka returned to the training ground, but he looked a little dazed.

Su Ke noticed this scene, but did not ask immediately.

Instead, after lunch, the two of them found a secluded corner.

"What happened?" Suk asked.

Kaka pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said: "Mourinho proposed to transform me into a defensive midfielder."

Su Ke was stunned for a moment.

Good thing!

Definitely a good thing!

Kaka sighed and continued; "But in this case, Alonso and I's position will become more important!"

Su Ke was stunned again.

In one sentence, Su Ke immediately understood what Mourinho meant.

"Bird! This is digging a hole for me." Suk grinned.

Kaka looked at Suk's expression.

"How about forget it, it's pretty good now!"

"Why forget it?" Su Ke waved his hand; "Why not fight if you can!"

Kaka: "But if this happens, there will be conflicts between us. I don't want the relationship in the locker room to break down because of my relationship."

If Kaka's transformation is successful, Alonso will be replaced as the main player.

Can Alonso be happy?

The local Spanish gang will also directly blow up their hair!

It can be said that this time, Mourinho stepped directly on the tail of the Spanish faction.

He even traded with a temptation that Su Ke couldn't refuse!

That’s right!

Mourinho has found the right path!

Su Ke couldn't refuse Kaka to transform his midfielder. He had this idea before.

Although this will violate Alonso's interests, I don't care who you are!

Seeing Kaka's embarrassed look, Suk waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, I'll handle it next."

Kaka looked up in surprise.

"How are you going to deal with it?" After a pause, he frowned; "You're not going to have a showdown with Calisias, are you?"

"Casillas is not the key!"

Su Ke smiled: "I'm looking for someone who can really handle things!"

In the evening, in Florentino's manor.

Su Ke and Florentino sat opposite each other, and the whole living room was extremely quiet.

Florentino knocked on the armrest and frowned fiercely.

Difficult to handle!

It’s so difficult!

Although it is a matter of transforming Kaka.

But on the one hand, it violates the interests of the Spanish local gang.

Casillas, Alonso and others are also candidates who have been entrusted with important tasks by him, and they will not give up easily.

But on the other hand, this is Suk's request.

There is no doubt that Suker is equally important to Real Madrid.

Phew~~~~~~~

Florentino pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't agree!"

Suk nodded, he guessed this.

"Mr. Perez, I know this is very difficult for you, but we will not give in."

Florentino raised his head suddenly, a sharp look flashing in his eyes.

Su Ke smiled and waved his hand; "Don't be angry first, listen to me first."

"I don't think you are particularly clear about the benefits of Kaka's successful transformation. I can assure you, at least."

Suker raised two fingers; "Two Champions Leagues!"

Florentino; "Real Madrid does not lack the Champions League!"

Suk dropped the bomb lightly.

"Re-election!"

One sentence made Florentino's body tremble.

Currently, Real Madrid and AC Milan are the clubs with the most honors in the history of the Champions League.

In terms of honor, they are first and second.

Although Real Madrid has one more Champions League than AC Milan, AC Milan has won the Champions League consecutively, so Real Madrid lacks confidence when shouting "No. 1 in the Champions League".

And Su Ke's proposal just touched Florentino's itch.

Phew~~~~~

Florentino breathed out and said with a smile on his face: "Is this a deal?"

Suk nodded.

"Is your bargaining chip to win the Champions League again?"

Suk continued to nod.

"What if it doesn't work?"

Suk raised two fingers; "I'll cut my salary! 20%!"

It has to be said that Suker's huge salary is a huge burden to Real Madrid every year.

If you can reduce your salary, that would be the best.

Florentino was unmoved.

Suk sighed and held up three fingers.

"Thirty percent!"

Florentino finally smiled and stretched out his hand:

“Happy to work with!”

Su Ke was also smiling: "Happy cooperation!"
