Chapter 380 New Season, New Number

After talking with Robben, Schuster found that his thinking was still not thorough enough.The introduction of Silva and Mata is bound to have an impact on Robben's main position, and the players bought at such a high price cannot be used as substitutes.

Although Robben did not say that Bayern was poaching him, Schuster thought of this after receiving the call. After all, there are not many media hype about this matter.And later Schuster confirmed Bayern's poaching behavior through his relationship in Germany.

In addition, he knew about the meeting between Mourinho and Sneijder. When he learned of this, Schuster was so angry that he wanted to sue Magic Bird to court.It's a pity that his source of news is also unknown, so he can only give up.But after knowing this, he quickly cut off Mourinho's fantasy.

On July 2014th, Real Madrid officially announced that they had renewed their contracts with Dutch winger Arjen Robben and Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder. Both contracts were extended until [-].

In order to appease the Dutch gang, Schuster also kept Drenthe, who was originally planning to sell at a low price. Dehei, who came to Real Madrid with the European Youth Championship Golden Globe two years ago, was originally regarded by the fans as a Carlos' successor.At that time, Marcelo was still scolded by the fans for being stupid, while Drenthe led the Dutch youth team to win the U21 European Nations Cup and won the best player.

It’s just that after coming to Real Madrid at a high price, he has always been the first pick at the drinking fountain. With the rise of Marcelo last season, he basically has no position in the team. After all, the main force at left back is now Marcelo. Cerro, the substitute is Argentine international Heinze.Drenthe played ten times last season, scoring zero goals and assisting one. Such results made him an iron bench next to the drinking fountain.Originally, Schuster planned to loan him back to the Eredivisie, but now that the hearts of Robben and Sneijder, the core of the Dutch gang, are floating, it is better to keep him in Real Madrid, anyway, the quota is not bad.

After pacifying Robben and Sneijder, Schuster continued to raise the butcher knife, clearing out the useless players in the team.After the loan period expired, Forber was sent back to West Ham United. Harvey Garcia and Saviola went to Benfica together, worth 700 million euros.Another Real Madrid youth player who failed to play in the first team. Although Gago knew that he performed well in Manchester City, Real Madrid's midfielder position has been saturated with Diarra's comeback. It is just a matter of staying in the team. Wasting time, so there is no stopping.

In addition, Real Madrid also renewed the contract with the veteran Heinze. Although with the growth of Marcelo, the Argentine international is already a substitute player, but Schuster likes his all-round characteristics.The German intends to let him serve as a central defender next season alongside Albiol.

In fact, Heinze was planning to leave the team. He was a player who was unwilling to be a substitute. He left because he didn't want to be a substitute for Evra at Manchester United.Although he is 31 years old now, he feels that he is in good condition and can play at a high level for at least two years. Marseille offered him a very sincere contract, and he hopes to return to Ligue [-] prove yourself.After all, the World Cup will be a year later, and it is impossible for the national team to allow a long-term substitute player to enter.

But after Gago's persuasion and listening to Schuster's positioning for his position next season, Heinze agreed to renew his contract with Real Madrid for two years.

After completing the contract extension with Heinze, Schuster can finally breathe a sigh of relief.The team's big work has been done, and the rest is just tinkering.

Due to the departure of Miguel Torres, the team lacked a substitute at the full-back position. Although Ramos has plenty of physical fitness, he cannot be expected to finish all the games in a season.

After Schuster made this request, the coaching staff immediately put forward several options for places, and finally the German made a decision and decided to go to Liverpool's Arbeloa.

Alonso and Mascherano, who spent 5000 million pounds from Liverpool during the winter break last year, can be said to be worth the money. After Gago moved forward, Alonso perfectly replaced the core of the playmaker. The role, and Mascherano has also become a new midfield barrier, and his cooperation with Alonso is perfect.

Seeing that the players poached from Liverpool are so easy to use, Schuster is naturally interested.After seeing that Aveiroa was born in the youth training of Real Madrid, I liked it even more, and I was more confident when I dug it up. This is to take my child home.

Sure enough, when he learned that Real Madrid wanted to take him back, Aveiroa was more concerned than Real Madrid, making Liverpool unable to even rip off. Real Madrid easily won the 400 million euros, which made Benitez jump with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

After winning Arbeloa, Schuster waved his hand, indicating that the team's transfer window can be closed.This news naturally makes the reporters very sad, because it means that they have no news to hype.

However, the reporters were only sad for a short time, because the new season started, and on July 15th, Real Madrid's stars all returned to Madrid.

When Gago arrived at the airport, nearly a hundred reporters and thousands of fans almost blocked the entire airport when he got the news.If Gago hadn't seen the bad situation and left early, the order of the airport would have been disrupted.

Back in Madrid, Gago put his luggage at home, and then went to the club to report.

This day was the last date for reporting. If Gago didn't go, his salary would be deducted according to the regulations.Every year's holidays are both painful and happy for the stars.The Confederations Cup this summer took up nearly a month of Gago's vacation, and he would spend half of the remaining fifteen days shooting commercials for sponsors, leaving only one short week to relax.So even with a diligent personality like Gago, he delayed reporting to the team until the last day.

By the time he arrived at the club, everyone had arrived, especially the new players.

"Sorry for being late!"

After changing into the training uniform, Gago said to more than [-] familiar faces, with an apology on his face, the core of the team is him, without him, the tactical training basically cannot be carried out, only some physical reserves can be carried out .

"It's okay, Mr. Football is very 'busy', we understand!"

Marcelo said something weird, causing Gago to kick his ass directly, and this intimate movement caused the old player to laugh again.As the "team darling", Marcelo has to make things happen every day to make them happy.And it was Gago who cleaned him up every time, because the relationship between the two was the best.

But the newcomers Silva and the others were a little cautious, unable to understand what was going on.Fortunately, Schuster came out at this time, and beside him was an assistant coach who brought out a large stack of jerseys.

"The new season has started, and new partners have come in, so the numbers of the jerseys have to be reassigned. Is there any need to change the old players, but I don't think there will be any!"

Schuster said this as a matter of course, but after he finished speaking, he found that Gago raised his hand very high.

"Phil, do you want to change your jersey?"

Schuster was very puzzled, knowing that Gago's No. 8 was the symbol of the core.

"Boss, I want number 5. If Fabio leaves, number 5 should be free!"

Gago said that he has been longing for No. 5 for a long time. This number has been worn by Redondo and Zidane, and No. 5 is also his number in the national team.It's just that it used to belong to Cannavaro's number, so he was too embarrassed to grab it, so he could only make do with No. 8.

If other people knew what was going on in his mind, they wouldn't vomit blood. You must know that Real Madrid's No. 8 is also the highest honor, the absolute core, and he actually disliked it.

"No problem, but your number 8..."

After hearing this, Schuster immediately understood what Gago meant, and nodded in agreement. If Gago wanted to wear No. 5, then No. 8 would be free. When he was thinking about who to give No. 8 to, Gago opened his mouth up.

"Give it to Javier, he wears No. 8 in the national team!"

After hearing this, Mascherano was moved for a while. He is indeed a brother. It is not in vain that I and Liverpool turned against me and came to Real Madrid to follow you.After Pony came to Real Madrid, because he often wore No. 20 was Higuain, No. 14 was Guti, and No. 8 was Gago, so he could only wear the largest number of No. 40 sadly.I originally thought that it would be good to get No. 17 this season, but who knew that I got such a meaningful number as No. 8.

"Okay, Javier, you can wear No. 8 from now on."

When Gago opened his mouth, Schuster couldn't refuse. He nodded and agreed. In fact, he originally wanted to give the number 8 to Mata.Silva chose the No. 21 that he has been wearing since his debut. This was originally worn by Metzelder, but he was able to stay in Real Madrid because Schuster saw the face of his fellow. No right to speak at all.He obediently gave up the No. 21 to Silva, and took the No. 27 that no one wanted.

Another Valencia player, Albiol, got No. 18. Due to the departure of Miguel Torres, Alonso also got his favorite No. 22.

And Granero was awarded the No. 24 jersey by Schuster, and another Liverpool player, Arbeloa, got the No. 2 left after Salgado left.

In the end, in order to show his high hopes for Mata, Schuster gave him the No. 9 left after Saviola left.And this number directly made Mata speechless for a while. No. 9 has always been a number that symbolizes a powerful center. Although it is a very meaningful number in the history of Real Madrid, it is really nondescript for Mata to wear it as a midfielder. ah.

The last one to choose the number was the third goalkeeper Adan who was promoted from the youth team. He chose the number 26 that no one cares about.It's just that no one pays attention to him. With Casillas around, Real Madrid will not have to think about the goalkeeper for the next eight years. This is another child who is destined to fail.

Ps: [Sad reminder, I forgot to release the leave leaflet on the [-]th day after uploading it. I'm so sorry for making you wait for three days in vain. 】
