Legendary Godfather

207: Caught a Belgian sheep gathering wool?

Soon Tong Yi received a satisfactory reply from De Bruyne, and Nainggolan was willing to move to Munich 1860. More importantly, De Bruyne also offered a buy-one-get-one-free offer. He said he even persuaded his Belgian national team teammate Axel Witsel.

When he heard the name, Tong Yi's eyes lit up.

To be honest, Witsel is really good.

Witsel started out as a midfielder in his early days, and he was also a defensive midfielder.

But later his technical and offensive abilities were discovered by the coach. He has a balanced left and right foot, can go left or right, can cut inside and cross. And his dribbling skills at his feet are not fancy, but his breakthrough efficiency is still very good. Therefore, at Standard Liege, Witsel was fixed in the right midfielder position.

Here, Witsel performed very well and even entered the Belgian national team.

The young Standard Liege midfielder he formed with Steven Defoe and Marouane Fellaini was very powerful in the Ligue 1. At that time, these three boys under 20 years old led Standard Liege to win the game. Champion of League One, and Witsel was also named the best rookie in League One.

What Tong Yi values ​​​​is that Witsel is comprehensive and can play all positions in the midfield.

Moreover, he is also good at offense and defense, and can also play as an attacking midfielder or as a playmaker. It can be said that he can coexist with De Bruyne and can also be De Bruyne's perfect substitute.

Therefore, Tong Yi was also very tempted by Witsel.

More importantly, Witsel also has an excellent long-range shooting ability, which enriches Munich 1860's attack methods.

That's great, and it would also be great if we can get Witsel.

When thinking of these people, Tong Yi thought of the Belgian national team that was gradually rising in later generations. They had a lot of newcomers in this age group. This generation of the Belgian national team will rush to the world in the future. It's in the first position.

There is a lot of wool consumption in Belgium right now.

As for the goalkeeper position, they have Mignolet and Courtois.

Mignolet is very good. This guy is 22 years old, very young. In 2006, he officially entered the first team when he was 18 years old. In the second half of the 2008-2009 season, he gradually established himself as the team's main goalkeeper. He played a total of 25 games, helping the team win the runner-up in Belgium's second division and be promoted to the Belgian league.

Last season, he was the team's No. 1 goalkeeper, playing in all 38 games, helping the team finish fifth, enter the playoffs, and compete for European qualification. Unfortunately, they lost. However, he also won the Belgian Goalkeeper of the Year award.

Therefore, this guy is also in the limelight now.

And in Tong Yi's memory, Mignolet seemed to have transferred to Sunderland in the Premier League this summer. The transfer fee should have been 20

Around £0. He was also the second goalkeeper when he went to Sunderland, but he was lucky. At the beginning of the new season, Sunderland's main goalkeeper Craig Gordon was injured, so he stepped in and then firmly took the role of Sunderland's main goalkeeper. Position, played 26 games and completed 9 clean sheets.

He stayed at Sunderland for three years, played 101 times, and completed 33 clean sheets.

In 2013, he moved to the Premier League giants Liverpool for a transfer fee of 9 million pounds.

Later he became Liverpool's main goalkeeper and is considered a world-class goalkeeper.

So it is okay to bring this guy to Munich 1860 to serve as a substitute for De Gea at this time. However, there shouldn't be many opportunities. Sunderland should have contacted Mignolet for a long time, and they must have given Mignolet the promise.

De Gea is too young. If Mignolet comes as a substitute for De Gea, he will not see the future. Gordon is nearly thirty years old and often injured, so Mignolet naturally sees an opportunity.

Therefore, Mignolet should choose Sunderland.

And Courtois, Belgium’s No. 1 national goalkeeper in later generations, who once became the world’s No. 1 goalkeeper, needs no introduction.

This guy is still very young, only 18 years old.

What's more important is that Courtois is still Genk's backup goalkeeper, although he made his first appearance in the Belgian League when he was 16 years old. But he didn't have many chances to play, and he didn't get even one chance to play last season.

Poaching him at this time should not cost much.

In Tong Yi's memory, Courtois's rise was in the upcoming season.

Since the club has lost two goalkeepers one after another, Courtois has become the main goalkeeper of Genk's first team in the new season. In this season, he only conceded 32 goals in 40 appearances for the team, and had 14 consecutive games without conceding a goal. He helped the team win the league championship again after 9 years, and won the Belgian League Goalkeeper of the Year and Two Player of the Year awards.

At the end of the season, he was poached by Chelsea for £9 million and then loaned to Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, poaching Courtois at this time should not cost much.

As for Munich 1860, Hoffman no longer has a place in the team. He and Tong Yi have a natural and irreconcilable conflict. Even if they want to transfer, he just chooses to retire. In the new season, Munich 1860 only has De Gea and Jonah, but something can be added.

However, if Courtois really comes to the team, Jonah, a former member of the German U21 national team, will give way to Courtois.

It’s on its way, I wonder if he is willing?

As for the two central defenders of the Belgian national team in the future, Tong Yi actually doesn’t need to think about it.

Now both Oderweireld and Vertonghen are in the Eredivisie giant Ajax, and these two were picked up by this Eredivisie giant early. Vertonghen was poached in 2006 and Oderweireld in 2008.

Last season, these two became the main central defender combination of Ajax. Their head coach also praised this pair of Belgian central defenders, claiming that this pair will definitely be unbeatable for the Belgian national team in the next ten years. Center back partnership.

You have to say that Ajax has a good vision.

Vermaelen before Vertonghen could see the Ajax people's vision, and they also caught a sheep plucking its wool. The Belgian central defender Vermaelen looked good, and then they went to Belgium to pick up wool every two years. No, in two years they brought back Oderweireld and Vertonghen. These two people are Completely succeeded Vermaelen.

To be honest, Tong Yi still admires Vertonghen very much. This left corner center back is very good, especially his left foot, which is very scarce.

It's a pity that he no longer has this fate and cannot win Vertonghen.

Oderweireld seems to have signed a contract with Ajax in 2007 and only reported to the team in 2008. His first contract should expire on June 30, 2010. However, it seems that last year, Ajax and Oderweireld renewed their contract, and the new contract was until 2014.

This really blocked the last crack in Tong Yi's poaching.

Focusing on the midfield, Tong Yi has already poached De Bruyne, Nainggolan and Witsel. Tong Yi should just forget about this Fellaini.

To be honest, Tong Yi doesn't like a defensive midfielder like Fellaini because his mobility is a bit poor.

However, Fellaini’s other abilities make up for this shortcoming. Moreover, his height and header are very good, which also enriches the offensive methods and improves the tactical effect of the team that introduced him.

However, Munich 1860 currently has so many midfielders that they no longer need them.

Moreover, Munich 1860's transfer funds are not sufficient this summer, so they cannot spend them randomly. So, forget it about Fellaini.

Then there is Carrasco on the wing. This guy is currently in Monaco's youth training camp. He is not even 18 years old, so it is useless to bring him in.

There is no need to think about Hazard. He became famous in the 2007 World Youth Championship. He is now playing for Lille in Ligue 1 and his performance is very good. Now they are being watched by countless wealthy clubs. What qualifications do Munich 1860 have to compete with these wealthy clubs?

Moreover, in 2007, Lille priced Hazard at 4.5 million euros. Now it costs at least around 8 million. Is this something Munich 1860 can afford?

Then there are the future strikers of the Belgian national team, Christian Benteke, Lukaku, Mertens and Origi.

Benteke was originally Witsel's teammate, and in 2009 he came to Standard Liege.

Previously, he played for Genk and his performance was not very good.

He didn't perform well when he came to Standard Liege, and then he was loaned to Kortrijk of the Belgian League last season. Here, Benteke found his shooting boots and ushered in the explosion of his career. Last season, he played 34 games for Kortrijk and scored 16 goals, showing amazing efficiency.

At the same time, he was also selected for the Belgian national team and became the main forward.

Tong Yi knew that this guy would be very powerful in the future.

In the future, he will join Aston Villa and Liverpool, and he will be a disruptor in the Premier League.

This guy's strength is still good, but sometimes he is very dull and can't hit the empty goal, but sometimes he can score a lot of fairy goals.

Someone in later generations once said that Benteke is actually a bit like Balotelli.

Yes, the happy look in front of the goal really looks like Balotelli. Tong Yi is still interested in this forward, and it should be okay to let him be a substitute.

However, Benteke may not come.

Didn't you see that after going to Standard Liege, he sought a transfer after learning that he could not play the main team. Standard Liege then loaned him out to Kortrijk.

He performed so well in Kortrijk that after returning to Standard Liege, the team was still unwilling to give him a starting position. Then he sought a loan in the new season, and was directly loaned to Mechelen in the Belgian League.

People are not willing to play as a substitute at Standard Liège, so how could they be willing to play as a substitute at 1860 Munich?

Therefore, Benteke has no chance.

Origi is too young now and can't be counted on at all. This is really impossible.

As for Mertens, he is currently playing as the main forward for Utrecht in the Eredivisie. Can he come to 1860 Munich as a substitute?

So, these people really don’t have to think about it.

Tong Yi smiled bitterly, and then shook his dreaming head. After waking up, Tong Yi directly said to De Bruyne, "Okay, let Julian go to Belgium to talk about Witsel."

It would be great if Witsel could be dealt with.
