Chapter 535 Start of the Top 2 Tournament
Chapter 535
This is also the sadness of some quasi-first-class teams.
It is simply impossible to attract super strikers.
Only fall back.
Or discover potential young players early.
But this kind of thing is just luck.
There are many young players with potential.
But more fell in the middle.
There are too many stars who became famous at a young age in football, but they fall very quickly.
Li Xuan has proven himself, and is young enough.
So Montpellier decided to take a gamble.
The reason for the bet is that very few Asian players can play in Europe.
Even if it's a boom in Asia.
But as soon as I arrived in Europe, I was not acclimatized to all kinds of acclimatization.
The main reason is that the physique of Asians is weak.
In the fierce competition in the European league, it is difficult to make a difference.
Physical reasons are the main factor.
This is also the main reason why Bordeaux gave up Li Xuan.
Bordeaux's thirst for forwards is not so strong.
Montpellier's offensive efficiency has plummeted this season.
The main reason for the unfavorable offense is that the main striker is already too old.
Decreased physical stamina, leading to reduced ability to compete.
And Montpellier couldn't find a replacement for a while.
This made Montpellier a little anxious.
However, when they agreed to introduce Li Xuan, they did not regard Li Xuan as the main striker in the future.
but as a temporary replacement.
What Montpellier values more is Li Xuan's supplementary shooting ability.
Similar to the way the national football coach Maslow used Li Xuan.
In fact, the way Shuguang uses Li Xuan now has begun to favor this.
For Chretien, Li Xuan is about to leave, and Bharat is Suguang's future.
Therefore, Li Xuan's role has begun to be continuously weakened.
But for Montpellier.
The introduction of Li Xuan is to effectively make up for the decline in Montpellier's offensive ability.
The premise is that Li Xuan can also play at the same level as the national football team in Montpellier.
Of course, Li Xuan is not the only choice for Montpellier.
Montpellier is also looking at other players.
Because as the main forwards get older, it is only a matter of time before they can be replaced.
But before there is no suitable choice.
Li Xuan's side can be regarded as an alternative.
After confirming this plan, Montpellier has already begun to actually contact Suguang.
And continue to examine Li Xuan's ability.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Montpellier naturally hopes that the sooner the better.
They originally wanted to introduce Li Xuan in Xia Chuang.
But how could Zhang Xiangyang and Chretien agree.
But Li Xuan's contract was about to expire, and Zhang Xiangyang didn't have much of the initiative.
In the end, Zhang Xiangyang and Li Xuan had a talk.
Li Xuan only agreed to leave after the end of this season.
For Li Xuan, he didn't want to give up halfway.
However, Dawn greatly increased Li Xuan's annual salary, making Li Xuan's actual income truly the highest level of Dawn.
This is also the highest level of salary for Chinese players.
Let Li Xuan's annual salary jump into the top [-] in the world.
It is absolutely no problem to get [-]-[-] million a year, plus various endorsements.
In just two or three years, Li Xuan's total income has almost reached [-] million.
However, although Shuguang offered a historically high salary, the high salary actually only lasted for half a year.
And it's just a simple increase in salary, and there is no substantial increase in liquidated damages.
At this time, Zhang Xiangyang didn't want to give Li Xuan the impression that he wanted to prevent Li Xuan from transferring.
Negotiations between the two parties went smoothly.
The transfer fee offered by Montpellier is more than 1000 million euros, which is also the transfer price assessed by the transfer market for Li Xuan.
Zhang Xiangyang wanted to make more points.
But Montpellier didn't let go at all.
In the end, Zhang Xiangyang chose to compromise.
In order not to cause Li Xuan to misunderstand.
At the beginning, it cost more than 100 million famous coins to introduce Li Xuan.
It has only been three years now, and it has been sold for almost [-] million yuan after changing hands, which is a [-]-fold increase.
And Shuguang also entered the Super League.
Won two FA Cup championships, entered the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, and entered the semi-finals of the Chinese Super League.
This is definitely a very good investment.
And Zhang Xiangyang also understands that there is still half a season left.
Although Chretien has been downplaying Li Xuan's influence.
But at the critical moment, Shuguang still couldn't do without Li Xuan.
Once things get stuck, it will actually be quite unfavorable to the current Suguang.
Why the loss outweighs the gain.
Zhang Xiangyang also wanted to make a good relationship.
Otherwise, Li Xuan will not go well in Europe and wants to come back.
Now that it's froze, Li Xuan will definitely not return to Shuguang.
In the end, the three parties reached a plan that satisfied everyone.
With the end of the first half of the Super League.
Li Xuan didn't have time to rest either.
Because the top twelve competition also kicked off.
The rules of the top twelve competition are relatively simple, that is, they are divided into two groups.
A group of six teams, the top two in each group directly get tickets to the World Cup.
And No.3 is more sad reminder.
Not only have to compete with No.3 in another group, but also compete with No.4 in Central and North America for this spot.
Can it be said that it is very high.
However, according to the ranking of the national football team, it can be said that it is very difficult to enter the top two.
Unless it can avoid all the strong Asian teams.
Such as South Korea, Japan, Iran.
This is also recognized as the top three in the entire Asian region, and it is also a frequent visitor to every World Cup.
And the only time in the history of the national football team to enter the World Cup.
The first is because the strength of the national football team was really good.
But another more important reason is that time, the World Cup was held in South Korea and Japan.
South Korea and Japan are not required to participate in the selection as hosts.
This also makes the national football team less competitive.
But the overall strength of the current national football team is actually not as good as that session.
It can be said that this top twelve competition has a long way to go.
Among these twelve teams, the national football team ranks only a little higher than Thailand and Syria.
It can be said that the situation is very severe, and this is also a new challenge.
The schedule for the top [-] is very long, with a total of ten rounds and a total of more than a year.
It's all one long marathon.
The result of the national football draw this time was not very good.
Directly divided into a group with South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Syria, and Qatar.
The opponent in the first round is South Korea.
As close neighbors in East Asia, the two teams have played against each other a lot in history.
But the national football team has more losses than wins.
Even in history, there has been a long period of invincibility against South Korea.
That's Koreaphobia.
However, with the renewal of the South Korean team, the strength has also declined.
This predicament was truly broken.
But the strength of the national football team has actually declined compared to before.
This is the first battle of the top twelve, and it is also a very crucial battle for the national football team.
If they can successfully defeat South Korea, it will definitely be a good start.
Absolutely extraordinary for the national football team.
A tie is also acceptable for the calculation.
But if you lose, the next game will be really difficult.
Because the opponent in the second game is no weaker than South Korea, and it is currently the highest-ranked team in Asia, Iran.
If they lose two games in a row, it will definitely hit the team's morale very hard.
