Chapter 60 Future midfield core!
Chapter 60 The future midfield core!
The next day, in a cafe in San Sebastian.
Tang Feng and Monkey sat in a deck together with Peric Alonso.
Harvey Alonso did not come with his father.
As Betis's coach, Tang Feng is not allowed to meet with players from other teams in private.
Although this kind of thing happens frequently in private, considering that Tang Feng had already expressed his intention to come with Real Sociedad transfer manager Barcro yesterday, and the conversation between the two parties was quite pleasant. Therefore, Tang Feng still did not want to do such a thing that would affect the relationship between the two clubs.
So, Tang Feng just met with Alonso's father Peric Alonso.
Perrik Alonso is nearly ten years older than Barcrolo, but his experience is very similar to Barcrolo.
As a former Spanish international, Peric Alonso also played for two clubs, Real Sociedad and Barcelona.
After retiring, he once served as a coach for several teams, but was not a success in the coaching position.
Perrik Alonso now holds a position within Real Sociedad Club as a technical consultant for the Athletics department.
Before coming here, Peric Alonso obviously understood the purpose of Tang Feng and Monkey.
In fact, when Tang Feng heard that Perrik Alonso was willing to meet him, he saw hope to take Harvey Alonso away.
After a regular greeting, Tang Feng also directly entered the topic: "Mr. Alonso, I believe you know. The purpose of my trip is to get your youngest son, Xavi Alonso. He is a very talented young player, and I hope he can become a member of Betis team!"
"Mr. Tang. I think you should understand. Our family is all part of Real Sociedad. I also know that my son is excellent. So, do you think I will be willing to let him leave Real Sociedad and play for other teams?" Perrik Alonso took a sip of coffee and said lightly.
"Mr. Perrik. I understand your thoughts. You hope your son can work hard in the places you have fought for and continue your footprints. But as far as I know, both your sons are working for Real Sociedad. Let one son continue your footprints and let the other son go out for a while, isn't it also a very interesting choice?" Tang Feng was not angry at Perrik Alonso's understatement of rejection, but said with a smile.
"Haha, young man, you are really good at speaking. As a father, I know very well. Harvey is much better than Mikel. If nothing unexpected happens, Harvey's future achievements will be much higher than his brother. Therefore, as long as he has the opportunity, the help he brings to the team will definitely be greater than his brother. From the perspective of a Real Sociedad person, I certainly hope that he can play for Real Sociedad." Perrik Alonso said with a smile and shook his head.
"Yes, Mr. Perrik. You also know that what Harvey needs most now is opportunities. But at Real Sociedad, he doesn't have many opportunities. As far as I know, Clement appreciates the kind of midfielder who is good in physical and fierce in defense, rather than the one who is like Harvey. This is why last season, plus the cup, Harvey only got a dozen substitutes to play." Tang Feng also took a sip of the coffee in the cup.
Tang Feng's words undoubtedly meant Perrik Alonso's heart disease.
As a father, he naturally knew about the talent of Xavi Alonso. But he also knew Xavi Alonso's "weakness". Xavi Alonso is still slightly thin now. As a Basque man, Xavi Alonso's style is not fierce enough. He is better at "using softness to overcome hardness" and offensive organization.
This does not meet Clement's tactical requirements.
In fact, Peric Alonso also has a lot of complaints about Real Sociedad's current coach Clement.
Clement's most successful coaching experience was two seasons with Real Sociedad's archenemy Athletic Bilbao.
It was those two seasons that he led Athletic Bilbao to steal the league championship from Real Sociedad.
As early as last season, when the club was preparing to find such an Athletic Bilbao to be the head coach, it was opposed by many fans. But Clement still came here.
Perrik Alonso, who was snatched away by Clement and his Athletic Bilbao team as a player, was naturally not much better. There were even several small direct conflicts between the two.
Although Clement puts Harvey Alonso and his brother Mikel Alonso on the bench, it seems quite reasonable. In the view of Peric Alonso, who has a gap with him, Clement is inevitably somewhat suspicious of taking revenge on his own.
Therefore, Perrik Alonso agrees with the club's idea of loaning Xavi Alonso out first.
Of course, Perrik Alonso will not reveal this kind of conflict within the club in front of outsiders. He asked calmly: "It seems that you know Xavi very well? So, in your opinion, what kind of player is he?"
Seeing the changes in Peric Alonso's expression, Tang Feng felt more aroused, so he quickly evaluated Harvey Alonso based on his understanding of Harvey Alonso before traveling through time: "I think Harvey is a midfielder who is very in line with the trend of modern football. Although he is very young, he is already very strong in defense. What's even more commendable is that he also has excellent long-range shooting and organizational skills! I have watched a lot of videos of Harvey. I found that he can become a world-class organizational type
The midfielder. His long pass is very accurate, and he can even complete the scheduling and organization of the team in the midfield and even the backcourt. As far as I know, Xavi also has very good set-piece skills. Such a player with good skills and willingness to participate in defense is very rare in European football. To be honest, it is a waste for Mr. Clement to be unwilling to use him! It is precisely for this reason that I want to bring Xavi to Betis. Because there, he will be able to fully demonstrate his strength!"
Tang Feng can be said to be generous in praise of Harvey Alonso.
As the father of Harvey Alonso, Peric Alonso was very proud of Tang Feng's comments. Of course, this was also because he heard that Tang Feng was not blindly praising Harvey Alonso, but had a detailed understanding of his son.
He suddenly felt that if his son was allowed to play football under such a coach, he would definitely be valued!
"So, if Harvey plays football under your hands, what will you position him?" Perrik Alonso asked carefully.
"Midfield core!" Tang Feng said seriously. This is also his true thought!
Hearing Tang Feng's answer, Peric Alonso stared at Tang Feng for a few glances, as if he was confirming whether he was deceiving himself.
But what he saw on Tang Feng's face was seriousness, sincerity, without any deception.
Seeing Peric Alonso's hesitation in his expression, Tang Feng's heart was also beating. He continued: "I think in the future, Xavi may not be the most eye-catching player on the court, but it will definitely be the most indispensable player on the team! This is also more in line with Xavi's personality. As far as I know, Xavi's personality is relatively low-key. Of course, this does not prevent him from becoming the best player in the world!"
Tang Feng's comment on Harvey Alonso once again surprised Perrik Alonso.
If it is normal for Tang Feng to understand the characteristics of Xavi Alonso on the court, then Tang Feng actually learned Xavi Alonso's private personality. This is very rare.
After all, Harvey Alonso is now just a fledgling newcomer and is not yet the top midfielder in the world in the future.
It is very rare to be able to understand him like Tang Feng!
Perrik Alonso obviously didn't know that Tang Feng was a time traveler, and the outline in his mind contained detailed information about Harvey Alonso. Not to mention his personality and technical characteristics, he knew even small questions like his girlfriend!
There is no doubt that through conversations with Tang Feng, Peric Alonso deeply understood Tang Feng's importance to his son!
Moreover, he realized that if his son played football under Tang Feng, he would definitely have a brighter future than staying in Real Sociedad and playing football under a coach who did not value him.
"I can see that you attach great importance to Harvey and know very well. You really can't consider renting it first? Maybe Harvey is not as good as you think?" Perrik Alonso asked tentatively.
Tang Feng almost laughed when he heard Perrik Alonso's words.
What an interesting father, I want his son to be valued under a coach who knows him, but I don’t want to give up my son’s chance to continue to serve Real Sociedad.
If Tang Feng's current identity is not a coach, he might have agreed to his request. But it is obviously not the case. As Betis's coach, he must be responsible for the club and his team, so he said firmly: "Mr. Perrik. I think you know very well how outstanding your own son is. It is precisely because of this that I hope that such a player can play football under his own hands for a long time, rather than losing him after playing for a last season or even half a season. Moreover, Mr. Perrik. You have also been a coach. Do you really think that the coach of a team will do your best to train a player who does not belong to his team?"
Tang Feng's words obviously spoke again, Perrik Alonso's heart was gone.
He used to be a coach, and he naturally knew that some small clubs usually loan players from other teams to solve the crisis of team personnel. However, when using these players, they only consider how to help the team, and rarely consider the problem from the perspective of the player himself or the player's fate club. Even if it is irresponsible, even if the player is injured or disabled, it has nothing to do with them!
Obviously, if his son is rented out, he will inevitably encounter such problems.
If the situation is better, maybe it is to meet a coach who is willing to play the main player for him but will not deliberately train him. If the situation is not good, it is absolutely disastrous for his young son to meet an irresponsible coach who keeps putting him on the bench or keeps him playing without regard for his injuries!
"Okay, Mr. Tang. I think you've convinced me. You can try to talk to the club about the transfer issue of Xavi. If you can convince the club, I think Xavi's problem is not a big deal!" After some consideration, Perrik Alonso finally gave an answer.
At this time, he was not a meritorious player or club official of Real Sociedad, he was just a father!
Perrik Alonso's words surprised Tang Feng.
Although he still asked himself to talk to the club, Tang Feng knew that at least Peric Alonso wanted his son to play for Real Sociedad was no longer a resistance. After overcoming this resistance, the rest was to talk to Real Sociedad about the price of the transfer!
...
In the past two days, when meeting with Barcro and Peric Alonso, Monkey, who accompanied Tang Feng, did not show his fair share of shame.
In this kind of negotiation, Tang Feng, who knows Alonso better, is obviously more convincing.
Next, it was Monkey's turn to perform in the negotiation of the transfer price of Xavi Alonso.
Tang Feng still gave Mengqi a bottom line, and then let him talk.
Sure enough, after convinced Peric Alonso, when Tang Feng and Monkey found Barcro again, he obviously let go.
Finally, after some bargaining, the two sides reached an agreement: Betis Club used Miroslav Colhanga for $2 million in exchange for Real Sociedad Club's Xavi Alonso!
Among them, Miroslav Korhan, as an Eastern European midfielder, has a tall figure and fierce defense, which is very consistent with the requirements of Real Sociedad coach Clement.
Although Miroslav Korhan is a Slovak international, Eastern European players are generally not worth a lot in this era.
And considering the fact that Betis Club was relegated, the market price of Miroslav Colhan is only about two million US dollars.
Therefore, in order to get such a young man under nineteen years old, Tang Feng once again paid about four million US dollars.
This obviously made Mengqi feel Tang Feng’s courage!
...
After discussing with Real Sociedad Club, Tang Feng and Monkey found Harvey Alonso himself again.
Xavi Alonso himself is full of feelings for Real Sociedad. As a Basque player, he also hopes to play for his hometown team, especially this hometown team where his father once glorious.
However, the situation where he was not valued under Clement last season also made him think of going out to make a breakthrough.
In addition, when he met Tang Feng, Tang Feng showed his importance to him without any concealment, and the contract given by Betis was also very attractive.
Finally, Xavi Alonso signed his name on the new contract!
After finishing Harvey Alonso, Tang Feng also felt relieved.
This summer, he will have many similar transfers, and his team will be mainly young players next season. He can imagine how much sensation and...controversy will arouse when the transfer window is officially opened and Betis Club announces these transfer news to the public!
