Chapter 207 Deco and Drogba

As a front midfielder with bad stats, a front midfielder who doesn't have good assists and goals in C1 is destined to have no future. Deco has now been criticized by some media as a fake. I don't understand why Zeman still lets him be the main player. Is it because he is an old farmer?

Hugo thinks Seli is playing with fire. Maybe he made Deco sad, maybe he made Mendes sad. This mistake can't be redeemed!

"When can you tell Mendes the truth? Just say that Zeman asked for the acquisition, and you had to propose a new plan again to let them lower the price! If it is a buyout fee of 10 million, it would be great. We can have a few million more euros!"

"If you miss Deco, I tell you that old Zeman will never let you have an easy time. Maybe you will face his cold eyes every day!"

"Okay, wait for a while, I will call Mendes and tell him, I hope he will stand on our side!" Seli laughed.

"Don't expect too much from him! Leo, his roots are always in Portugal, he can't help us take Deco away at a low price!" Hugo is very clear about this!

Da Costa was upset that Trapani did not fulfill the buyout clause. He did not like it. Although he did not say anything in front of the media, he had sworn privately that he would never sell Deco to Trapani when the agreement time came. At worst, he would continue to lose money.

He bypassed Mendes and contacted Deco privately, saying to Deco: "Trapani will not fulfill the buyout clause this summer. Their director Leonardo Selli told them that they have no money to buy you out! Deco, you still said stay, if you have a good future, I will definitely not stop you! I know Trapani originally promised you a high salary, which we can't give, but now everything has been shattered, and you still said stay, the fans of the Dragon Stadium miss you very much!"

Deco knew about this from Mendes, but he was still very embarrassed, because Zeman kept in touch with him after the end of the season, and told Deco again and again that he would definitely let the team buy him!

The reason why Deco is so highly regarded is Zeman. Zeman is not an ordinary coach. Deco likes his offensive football style. Although he doesn't score many goals, he is the most critical link. His role itself is not scoring or assisting. Whether Zeman's team plays fast or slow, he is the most critical member. He has few goals and assists because Zeman's tactical system is used to launching from the wing because of Miccoli. Miccoli is a free man to some extent, which limits the performance of Deco as a front midfielder.

Zeman communicates with Deco the most, and he also tells the choices in these tactics without hiding anything, and strives for Deco's understanding and support.

Because of Zeman's respect and Zeman's guidance on his shortcomings, Deco actually wants to continue to follow Zeman. Facing a head coach who values ​​him so much, it is really not easy for Deco to say goodbye.

Trapani's current reality is like this. Hugo can no longer be as close to the players as before, because Zeman is limiting his power, and he himself realizes that he should not be so close to everyone. Even if a man has feelings, it is not easy to separate. Football clubs need to be managed, and he, as a boss, cannot be too close to the players.

Zeman drove him away in the hope that he would have only one voice in the team and prevent the players from opposing him through Hugo.

Deco has not had many meals with Hugo, and they don't communicate much, so Deco has no feelings for Hugo. He is also very dissatisfied with Trapani's behavior, but Zeman is caught in the middle, which makes Deco undecided even under Da Costa's persuasion.

Far away in Paris, France, Drogba was teasing his son at home. Drogba's career when he was young was unremarkable, but his family life was very happy. He met his girlfriend very early and had a baby early. He went to Trapani because he was attracted by the income in Trapani. The salary he earned in Ligue 2 was even lower, and he had no way to continue to make a living.

He went to Trapani reluctantly and realized that he was lucky. Hugo's annual Christmas bonus and season bonus were quite generous, higher than the salary of many players, so Drogba actually got two salaries and was much more financially comfortable.

"Ding Ding Ding" the phone rang, Drogba put down his son and picked up the phone on the table. It was his uncle's call.

"Hello, hello, uncle! Do you have something to do with me?!" Drogba smiled.

"It's like this, there is an opportunity to play in Ligue 1, are you willing to go?!" Drogba's uncle is now Drogba's part-time agent. At the beginning, it was he who listened to his friend's advice and took Drogba to Trapani to try his luck.

"Which team?!" Drogba was interested. You have to know that this is Ligue 1, which is definitely far inferior to Serie A. Last year, some teams that were not in Ligue 1 invited him, but the price level and room for growth made him worried, so he didn't want to leave Trapani, but the situation is different now.

Drogba scored 17 goals in 25 appearances in Trapani last season, and his efficiency suddenly exploded. However, he is still not the team's main center. The main center Toni is also in very good condition after his comeback. Compared with Germany Roba, Toni is more superb in shooting skills. As long as there is a reliable cross, he can create a threat. Toni only played 23 times, but scored 21 goals. This efficiency is scary enough. Well, if there were no injuries, maybe Tony would have another 30-year-old season.

Therefore, the biggest headache for Zeman in the second half of the season is the arrangement of Drogba and Toni. Both of them are centers. Zeman finally managed to get Drogba through the two channels. Who knows that Toni is also true? Killer, but he is used to using 433. Drogba is not suitable to play as a winger. His dribbling skills and man-ball combination are not good, let alone passing.

As a result, Drogba became a substitute again in the second half of the season, but he still had the chance to start occasionally. He started all the Serie C Cup games and performed very well.

Drogba is happy to stay in the team, but he hopes that Zeman can change to 442, but he also knows that Zeman is impossible. He is grateful to Mazzarri and also to Zeman. It was Zeman who made him cross There is a hurdle, a hurdle to become a goal-scoring center.

Now his mind has changed. If he can join a French Ligue 1 team, even if his income is not as good as Trapani's, it probably won't be too little. Why can't he play in a higher-level league? Here It's closer to home, and there's no need to learn Italian or listen to Sicilian dialect.

What made Drogba unhappy in Trapani was language learning. It was useless to learn Italian. He couldn't understand what the people in Trapani were saying when he went out.

"Guingamp!" Drogba's uncle Michel Goba said the name of the club.

Drogba's uncle, Michel Goba, was the most important person in Drogba's life. He brought the young Drogba to France and became his legal guardian until Drogba's parents also came. When he arrived in France, it was he who guided Drogba's path in football. If it weren't for Goba, Drogba might still be in Le Mans.

So Goba knows everything about Drogba. He understands Drogba's thoughts. He knows that Drogba desires to become a great player. Goba is a professional player but he plays in low-level French leagues. , some teams in Ligue 2, he also hopes that Drogba can play in Ligue 1.

This summer, without Trapani having to worry about it, Goba was looking around to see if there was a suitable place for Drogba. Guingamp soon became interested and privately wanted to invite Drogba to take a look. After all, It was the third league, and Guingamp also wanted to see if Drogba could do it. You must know that Drogba only scored 10 goals in 4 years at Le Mans. As a forward, this number is too "blinding".

They were forced to do it by Trapani. If Trapani knew that this was okay, they would definitely sue Guingamp to UEFA. This is too much, even the private trial training was exposed. But if Hugo knows about it, this is not a bad thing. The unshakable forward of the team is Tony. Even though he has a good relationship with Drogba, if there is a dispute over position, he will definitely choose Tony. If Drogba can find a new home, make a fortune and give Drogba a future, why not do it.

Under the leadership of Goba, Drogba quietly went to Guingamp for trial training. The result made Guingamp quite satisfied. Drogba fully demonstrated his speed, impact and explosive power in front of relevant personnel of the Guingamp club. Guingamp believed that Drogba was no longer the Drogba of Le Mans. He had the ability to gain a foothold in the Ligue 1 and the team, so they made up their mind to buy Drogba.

In their opinion, Drogba was a member of a Serie C first league team and should not be worth much money, so they made an initial offer of 400,000 euros.

"Comrade Drogba is not for sale!" Trapani's fax came soon!

Through Drogba Guingang, they already know that Trapani also has a striker Toni, and the team does not say that it is not for sale at all. This clearly means that the money does not meet their expectations.

So Guingamp sent a second offer, which doubled the first offer to 800,000 euros.

"Comrade Drogba is an important member of our team. Mr. Zeman admires him very much. The club is very optimistic about his future!" Trapani's second fax also arrived.

In a word, this money is not enough!
