Super Marshal

In the past few years, Alpine has traveled to almost all developed countries in the European continent, and even often passes through or visits some small towns for competitions, especially small villages and towns surrounded by mountains in northern Spain.

Gradually, he realized that the biggest difference between developed countries and China as a developing country is not in the big cities.

After years of development, many major domestic cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, are no less inferior than international cities such as London, Paris and Madrid, and even worse.

But the real difference between the two lies in the relatively backward small towns.

It's like this small town called Materico in northern Spain, with a population of only five or six thousand people. If it is placed in China, it will be a village, at best, a small fishing port by the sea.

You can walk around winding mountain roads. As you can see along the way, the roads in Matericu are very clean and flat, with camping grounds and docks, as well as elementary, middle and high school education facilities, as well as a large-scale sports center. , And a standard size football field.

After stepping out of the mountain road, overlooking Matrico, although their buildings are messy, they are very clean, which makes people look very comfortable. Under the blue sky and white clouds, people feel that they are particularly unique in the Basque Country. taste.

Gao Han faintly felt that this might be the biggest difference between developing countries and developed countries.

Not far into the village after leaving the mountain, Mikel Alonso parked the car aside.

When everyone got out of the car, there was a football field on the opposite side of the road. The terrain was five or six meters lower than the road. Holding the iron guardrail on the side of the road, it felt like standing on the stadium stands watching the game.

Although it is a small village, the turf of the football field is trimmed very smoothly, which is obviously maintained by someone on weekdays.

It is said that every weekend night there will be a game where the amateur team in the town competes with the team in the next town, and the residents of the town will come over to cheer.

At this moment, a group of young people are training in the stadium, and there are special youth training coaches for guidance.

This also made Gao Han couldn’t help feeling that football in Europe is indeed very popular. Even in such a remote place, there are professional youth coaches instructing the training of young players. Once they perform well, they will immediately. Will be admired by the surrounding big teams.

For example, Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao and Athletic Santander and so on.

However, China has a vast land, a large population, and a huge span between east, west, south and north. If you want to fully popularize football, even if you formulate a policy at the highest level of the country, I am afraid that it will not be possible in 20 or 30 years. It will take more time.

In the midst of Gao Han's thinking, the youth training coach below has divided this group of twelve or three-year-old players into two groups and started training in teams, but they have placed two or three older players in each team. Junior players.

After the start of the team game, the older players were obviously better than the others in terms of technical level or physical confrontation, but Gao Han still distinguished from the details of passing and receiving the ball. The two best players, and it seems that the youth coaches also know that they are the strongest, so they are divided into different teams.

One is to play in midfield and the other is to play as central defender.

Both of them seem to be training with the team, they are more running, passing and receiving, not participating in the offense, only responsible for the defense, but their superior strength still makes them perform very eye-catching, especially the long pass, which is very accurate. .

Gao Hanhuo glanced over, and immediately found out the data of the two players.

Asir Ilya Ramendi, March 8, 1990, 19 years old, strength 120, potential 175.

Igor Martinez, May 17, 1991, 18 years old, strength 110, potential 170.

The former's position is midfielder, can play front midfielder, can also be delayed, the body is thin, while Igor Martinez is a left-footed general, can be competent for the two positions of left-back and center-back, he is a little stronger. The characteristics of a typical Basque player.

"Hey, who is the kid who played the central defender?" Peric Alonso was a little strange.

It seemed that he also thought that kid was a bit interesting, but he didn't know him.

But the Harvey Alonso brothers both shook their heads, saying that they are not clear, at least there is no such person in the Royal Sociedad youth academy.

And Ilya Ramendi belongs to the Royal Sociedad youth academy, but training is now suspended and training with the team in the town nearby.

"That kid is good, it's good news." Gao Han smiled and praised.

The three of Peric Alonso and his son couldn't help but pay more attention. What can be admired by Gao Han, or worse?

"Perik, the one you said is very similar to Harvey, isn't it him?" Gao Hanyao pointed to the midfielder.

Perik Alonso laughed, "Sure enough, I couldn't hide from you. That's right, it was him. Asir Ilya Mendi, the gem of the Royal Sociedad’s youth training, represented the second team last season. The third level of the second league, but the second team has been relegated from the second league this season."

This has to be said to be a great pity.

A team like Real Sociedad is always fluctuating between La Liga and La Liga, and the finances of the team will not be better. The first team may not be able to take care of it, let alone the second team.

Therefore, their investment in youth training is not large, and they rely more on youth training talents in the surrounding areas to support them.

"To be honest, his current situation is quite embarrassing. The first team won't give him too many opportunities in order to make a breakthrough in La Liga, but playing the second team to the fourth tier is a little bit awkward."

Gao Han can fully understand the current difficulties of Real Sociedad and the situation of the players.

In European football, I don’t know how many players are in such a situation every year. Many of them are stunned in the end. As everyone knows, many of them are not because of the so-called lack of strength, or lack of talent, but too much opportunity. difference.

Playing football is a skill that makes perfect, so patience, tolerance and training opportunities are needed to train young players.

In the face of performance pressure, it is very difficult for young players to have a chance to make their heads. This is true all over the world.

…………

…………

Gao Han and others didn't want to cause too much movement. They waited until everyone's training was over before they asked Mikel Alonso to call Ilya Mendi to the top.

As a result, when the Basque teenager came up, he looked stupid.

Xavi Alonso is the biggest star around San Sebastian, especially midfielders like him, who almost treat Xavi Alonso as a lifelong goal in pursuit.

As for Perik Alonso, it goes without saying that he has played for Barcelona in his career and served as the head coach of the first team of Real Sociedad. The prestigious football players in the surrounding area are welcome to meet him.

But it was Cantarello and Sergio Garcia that surprised Ilya Ramendi the most, and when he saw Gao Han looking at him with a smile, he really had the urge to dizzy.

"Gao...Mr. Gao Han?" Ilya Ramendi was so surprised that his jaw was about to fall.

"Hello, Asir." Gao Han smiled and stretched out his hand.

Finally, after Ilya Ramendi recovered his calm, the conversation could continue.

In fact, Gao Han’s trip was purely to investigate Ilya Ramendi, and after training in the afternoon, Gao Han is convinced that Ilya Ramendi will be a very potential midfielder, in his style and Not suitable for playing midfielder, it is better to be a midfielder or to be delayed, which can give play to his advantage.

This is also the reason why Peric Alonso believes that he is very similar to Harvey Alonso.

Of course, there are no two leaves that are the same in the world, and two players cannot be exactly the same.

For Ilya Ramendi, Gao Han is very satisfied, and think that bringing him to the Chinatown team, after being cultivated, will be a very good choice for him to succeed Marcos Senna in the future.

But when it comes to the transfer, Gao Han never mentions it.

Because he had to talk to Ilya Ramendi's parents and the Royal Society.

"By the way, who is the central defender who played with you before?" Perik Alonso asked caringly.

It is also a player's embryo, and you know the potential is good at a glance.

"Oh, his name is Igor Martinez. He is eighteen and lives in Ondaloa, north of us."

Ondaloa, like Matricu, is a small village in the Basque Country with a similar population.

"Is he a youth player of Real Sociedad?"

Ilya Ramendi shook his head, "No, he is a student of Ondaloa Youth Training School. However, I heard that the Youth Training Department of the Royal Society has inspected him, but the specific situation is not clear."

Peric Alonso understands this time, it is estimated that such a player, the Royal Sociedad Youth Training Department will not miss it.

But at this time, Gao Han turned his head to look at Cantarello, raised his brows and smiled playfully.

The latter has worked with Gao Han for many years, so why don’t you know what Gao Han means?

Igor Martinez performed well just now. His passing ability is very good. He is not tall, about 1.8 meters tall. He is strong but flexible. He is definitely a talent.

The Chinatown team intends to reorganize the defense line this summer. In addition to introducing a high-level central defender, an 18-year-old player like Igor Martinez is also what the Chinatown team urgently needs.

Not to mention that Igor Martinez is not yet a Real Sociedad academy player. Even if it is, the Chinatown team will definitely take the opportunity to take him to Madrid.

Big deal, ask for a training fee~www.NovelMTL.com~ to compensate the Royal Society.

In any case, the Chinatown team is also a newly promoted team in La Liga. Real Sociedad does not know how long it will take to return to La Liga. What's more, the Chinatown team is well-known for its youth academy, and vigorously promoting young players is a consistent feature.

After talking with Ilya Ramendi, everyone Gao Han went to visit their home in person, had an in-depth conversation with his parents, and frankly expressed the Chinatown team's interest in Ilya Ramendi.

Ilya Ramendi’s father is also very excited about the importance of Gao Han. I heard that the Chinatown team including De Gea, Alba and other players are all Ilya Ramendi’s teammates in the national youth team, and Gao Han has repeatedly After promising that the club will increase the cultivation and training of Ilya Ramendi, his parents agreed to Gao Han's proposal.

But out of the need to protect the children, the two parties negotiated confidentiality.

After all, if it is learned from the outside world that Alpine values ​​Ilya Ramendi and the difficulty of digging people is increased, I am afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary rights and wrongs, and it will bring psychological pressure to the players.

After discussing with Ilya Ramendi's parents, Gao Han and others did not stay much longer. After politely declined their dinner invitation, they left Matrico by car.

Before leaving, Cantarello had already obtained the details of Igor Martinez from the secret conversation with Ilha Ramendi, and even got his phone number.

After leaving Matrico, Gao Han took his assistants and returned to San Sebastian with Alonso and his son.

Overnight at Alonso's house, Cantarello went to Ondarroa alone, while Alpine took Sergio Garcia to the west and headed to Bilbao.

At the same time, in Milan, Bosco and Real Madrid formally reached an agreement on the personal treatment of Kaka.
