Super Marshal

In the southwest suburbs of San Sebastian in northern Spain, the small town of LS Erte.

The winding Oria River flows from north to south through the western suburbs of the town.

Real Sociedad's Zubieta training base is located on the west bank of the Oria River, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery.

Being close to mountains and rivers has brought convenience to Real Sociedad. During the annual pre-season training, going into mountains and rivers has become a routine training program for Real Sociedad, which always attracts many fans.

A full four hours of canoeing training always becomes a unique scenery on the Oria River.

After every training session, the players would be so tired that they collapsed in the lounge, too lazy to move.

It won't be until they regain some energy that the lounge will become lively again.

They began to discuss the summer transfer market news and various gossips.

Since returning to La Liga, Real Sociedad has had relatively good results for two consecutive years, basically successfully avoiding relegation and ranking in the middle of the pack. This makes the players in the team feel more reassured, but the club is not financially well-off and will not be in the transfer market. There are some actions on the matter, and there are many young players in the team, so everyone can discuss it more easily.

For example, they will discuss that Real Madrid finally purged Canales.

This talented rookie who once shone in the entire Spanish football world, finally failed to survive the injury. The continuous troubles during his time at Real Madrid, coupled with the club's unfriendly treatment of young players, finally made him unable to survive. He stood out and was sent to Valencia this season.

Canales comes from Racing Santander, and both Real Sociedad and Real Sociedad are teams in northern Spain. The two cities are not far apart. There are many exchanges and competitions between the youth teams. The young people at Real Sociedad are very familiar with Canales, and some of them are very familiar with Canales. People of the same age, who often compete together, now feel sorry for Canales' plight.

There are countless cases where young players have been ruined by injuries.

"I still clearly remember how high-spirited he was when he was still at Racing Santander." Central defender Igor Martinez said. The former Chinatown player immediately became a player after returning to Real Sociedad. The backbone of the team's defense, he performed very well, but he is still young, only 21 years old.

"Anthony, if I remember correctly, you were promoted to the first team in the same year as him, right?"

The one named Anthony is a short player. He is not very old and looks a little immature, but his hair style is a bit like Hanamichi Sakuragi in the Japanese manga "Basketball Trapez", except that it is not dyed red.

"He was in the same year as me, but he was on the first team of La Liga, and I was on the first team of La Liga." Anthony replied with a wry smile.

Everyone laughed when they heard what he said was interesting.

Canales did have a higher starting point than everyone present. After entering the first team of Racing Santander, he quickly performed well. He scored six goals in one season and became famous in Spanish football. It attracted the attention of many strong teams including Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Chinatown, but in the end it was Real Madrid who took the lead.

"To be honest, I am the same age as him and have played so many games. Even if I don't agree with him, I have to admit that he is a genius, but such geniuses are often fragile and he himself is not strong enough." The one named Anthony said the young man.

"The main reason is that Real Madrid is too unfriendly to young players. Mourinho does not pay attention to the training of young players. Use them if you can, and throw them away if you can't. What does this mean?"

"The main reason is the internal power struggle within the club. Canales was signed by Valdano and Mourinho will not use it. I remember that media reporters also broke the news before that Gao Han mentioned that Mourinho could not use it. For attacking midfielders, if you don’t believe it, just look at James Rodriguez’s situation in Real Madrid. It’s awkward.”

"If you ask me, Real Madrid still has some problems. If it were in Chinatown, this situation would definitely not happen." Igor Martinez said loudly.

"real or fake?"

"It's like, what team is going to have no injuries?"

Igor Martinez nodded and said: "Yes, there will be injuries, but the way of treatment and helping players recover are completely different. Chinatown has a complete and rigorous process in order to provide the best to the players." Chinatown has invested a lot of money and purchased a lot of advanced equipment to provide the most complete medical services.”

In the minds of La Liga players, Chinatown has always been regarded as a very different existence.

When this team was still in the lower leagues, it set many records. For example, they were the only team in the lower leagues to have jersey sponsors, and they were also sponsored by world brands like Nike and Adidas.

So far, Chinatown is the only club in European football to be sponsored by two giants at the same time.

When Chinatown was still in a low-level league, they were still very poor and financially weak, but they invested heavily in training, injury protection and medical care every year. Even in La Liga, Chinatown Still persisting.

So much so that there was news not long ago that after Diego Costa, who transferred to Real Madrid, was injured, he did not trust Real Madrid's team doctor and secretly went to Chinatown to be tested by the club's team doctor. The result was that he was actually Real Madrid's team doctor. Got it wrong and almost killed the Brazilian striker.

"Not long ago, Illarramendi told me when he came back that the club purchased a state-of-the-art machine from the United States last year. It is said to have cost one million euros. It is very advanced, fully automatic, and can save a lot. The detection time is also higher and the accuracy is higher.”

After listening to Igor Martinez's words, everyone was amazed.

"Chinatown is really unique. It is the team with the fewest injuries every year in La Liga. The players' physical fitness and running distance are among the best in La Liga. In this regard, people have to admire them. They are willing to invest so much for the players. It’s just Chinatown.”

"That's right." Igor Martinez also said with pride, "The club's business philosophy is different. Chinatown's business philosophy is to provide the best and most complete services to the players so that they can play with peace of mind. ball."

After a pause, Igor Martinez chuckled and said, "Don't say you don't believe it. Chinatown has set up a special department to provide various services to players, including the placement of new players, as well as transfers and departures. They will provide complete information and help for everything from finding a house, finding a school for the children, to getting special snacks from the player’s hometown.”

"I often heard when I was in Chinatown that if Chinatown invested less in other areas like other La Liga teams, they would have at least a few million euros left over every year, which would be enough to introduce a player. ”

After hearing what Igor Martinez said, everyone agreed.

Looking at European football, there are very few players who can provide such complete services to players.

"Hey, Igor, Chinatown has sold four more players this year, can it still remain competitive?" Anthony asked with concern.

Igor Martinez nodded: "I believe it is possible."

"Why?"

"Carvajal and Alba are indeed great, but Danilo and Alex Sandro are definitely not simple. I have trained and played with these two Brazilians a lot. There is absolutely no problem with their strength. In the team After so many years, it’s definitely no problem to play the main role.”

"What about the midfielder?" Anthony asked again.

"Herrera's departure will indeed weaken the team, but I tell you, I can count the ones who can play this position, Isco, Koke, Pogba, Verratti, De Bruyne... Let me tell you, that Pogba has no reputation, but pay attention, his strength is definitely not inferior to Isco and De Bruyne."

“As for Verratti, many people say he is like Xavi, but others say he is like Pirlo and a ruthless character, so the competition within the Chinatown team will be very fierce, and players without absolute strength will not have a chance at all. "

Hearing Igor Martinez's words and the look on his face, everyone in the lounge couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Being able to stand out in the internal competition in Chinatown is already a recognition of its strength.

"I called Illarramendi before. Guess what he said?"

"What do you say?" Anthony and everyone else were also very concerned.

Illarramendi came from the youth training of Real Sociedad, and many people present were his friends, so they were naturally concerned.

"He said that Marcos Senna has retired and the captain is De Gea, but this does not mean that he is the main player. Verratti and Pogba can play this position, and he said that the club has introduced a player from France. A ruthless character.”

"N'Golo Kante?" Anthony replied.

"how do you know?"

"A friend of mine at Paris Saint-Germain said that Kante was hand-picked by Gao Han. Makelele personally trained him for a season and he is very good. Zidane also believes that he will be the future pillar of France's midfield. But now he has no name at all and no chance to compete, so he is sent to Chinatown as an extra.”

"That's right, Illarramendi said that Kante shocked him in the first training session. He is also under great pressure now and does not dare to let down his guard at all. He is afraid that if he is not careful, he will lose the main position he has obtained. Lost it." Igor Martinez chuckled.

After everyone heard this, they felt a little numb just thinking about it.

Illarramendi is already a quasi-national player in Spain, but he is still afraid of becoming like this?

As you can imagine, the internal competition in Chinatown is fierce.

"Everyone is guessing now, you see the media reporters are also guessing, who will be on the right wing of Chinatown after Aubameyang leaves the team?"

Igor Martinez laughed and said, "As far as I know, Firmino, De Bruyne and Koke all have opportunities, Morata and Jese are also fighting for it, but I heard that the club plans to introduce more A scorer to fill Aubameyang’s shoes.”

"Who?" Anthony asked concerned.

"I don't know, but those who can be favored by Chinatown must have strong abilities." Igor Martinez said this and looked at his teammates beside him jokingly, "Hey, I said, Anthony, you If you care so much about Chinatown, you don’t want to transfer, do you?”

"Me? How is that possible?" Anthony was startled and his reaction was a little big.

"Don't say it, it's normal to go to Chinatown, but you are a left winger. There are many talents on the left wing in Chinatown. That Hazard..." Igor Martinez shook his head vigorously, "I dare say that he is the only one except Apart from Messi, De Bruyne is also the best player I have ever seen, so you don’t have a chance.”

"Look what you said, I can't play as a right winger?"

Igor Martinez's eyes lit up, "Don't mention it yet. You can play with your left foot on the right. Do you want me to help you submit the transfer application?"

Everyone laughed, thinking it was just a joke.

But what he didn't expect was that Anthony curled his lips and sighed: "No need to apply, it has been negotiated, and I will leave in the next two days."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

real or fake?

"Brothers, remember to keep in touch."

After finishing speaking, Anthony stood up in a pretentious manner, leaving the stunned people with a handsome back view.

"Hey, no, Antoine Griezmann, tell me clearly, what's going on? Are you really going to Chinatown?"
