Chapter 278 Meirelles in an Embarrassing Position
Before calling David, Meireles had already communicated with the team coach Loew.
Obviously, Deco, who played in Porto's midfield last season, will return to Notts County this season. Notts County has not deliberately concealed this.
Thus, the problem arises.
According to Loew's most commonly used 4231 or 433 formation, whether it is a double midfielder or a triple midfielder, the team captain Alonso will occupy a main position, and Deco, a powerful new player, is even less likely to play as a substitute. Therefore, Meirelles, who was the team's main player last season, wants to become the main player in the new season. He can only fight for the last midfielder position when the team plays a three-back midfielder formation.
However, in the three midfielder formation, the importance of the defensive midfielder is self-evident. In other words, my own competitiveness may still be behind Mascherano. Relais can accept it!
Although he has extraordinary feelings for Notts County, if he can only be a substitute player, then he will have to think carefully.
Young players need enough playing time to exercise, and his type of midfielder needs enough experience on the field. If he stays on the bench for Notts County, it is difficult to predict the height he can get in the future .
Therefore, he had a frank and honest talk with coach Loew.
In fact, Loew is now caught in the troubles of happiness. In addition to Deco who is about to report to the team, there are currently four genuine midfielders in Notts County, and most of the time, only two of them can play. The other two can only sit on the bench and wait for the rotation, which sounds really cruel!
In his mind, Alonso and Deco, the two organizational midfielders, are definitely the best candidates for the double midfielder, and they also have enough defensive ability to fully support the backbone of Notts County's midfielder.
When playing the three midfield tactics, Mascherano plays a more important role. He can use the most powerful defense to liberate Alonso and Deco and give full play to the maximum attack power of the two.
From this point of view, Meireles may become the least playing time among the four defensive midfielders. It is a pity that he has a B2B attribute. In today's football, there are not many top all-round midfielders.
It is very important to maintain the thickness of the team lineup, especially when Notts County will still face multi-line battles next season. If possible, Loew hopes that Meireles can stay.
But Loew understood the cruelty of professional football, and he was unwilling to deceive Meireles, so he told Meireles directly and frankly of his plan, and apologized in a complicated way.
If possible, who is not willing to change clubs frequently, and who is willing to spend the rest of his life in a club in the name of loyalty, but the premise is that he is especially good at playing.
Even if I stay in Notts County, because of the rotation policy that the team will inevitably adopt, my playing time has a minimum guarantee, but compared with my absolute main force last season, the gap is more than 01:30 points. For midfielders who have been selected for the national team, if they can't even play the main force in a team, how can they retain their national identity!
So after having a deep talk with Love, Meirelles made a serious call to David.
"Boss, although this is a very difficult decision, I still hope that my career can be more brilliant, and I can also have the opportunity to represent the Portuguese national team in major competitions. Obviously, with my current situation in Notts County, I'm afraid It’s not possible to do this anymore, so even though I’m sad, I still have to make this decision!”
Meirelles relayed the conversation he had with Love to David, his voice choking when he said it again.
David sighed deeply. Every time the transfer period came, it was the most tormenting time in his heart.
He knows this very well. With the arrival of Deco, the playing time of other midfielders will inevitably be further squeezed, and the first one is Meireles.
The so-called all-round midfielder can attack and defend.
But sometimes omnipotence means mediocrity. Compared with Deco and Alonso, Meireles' ability to organize offense is worse. Compared with Mascherano, Meireles' defensive ability is also worse. It's worse. When it comes to long-range shots, he can't compare with Sneijder. Even if such a player with both offensive and defensive skills sits in the midfield and can greatly increase the thickness of the team's bench, in the final analysis, his competitiveness is still weak. Some.
If Meirelles can accept the status of substitute, then Notts County will definitely have his place, but for a player who has really made his name, I am afraid no one can accept it.
After a moment of silence, David tried to hide the heaviness in his heart with a relatively relaxed expression: "Raul, I understand your feelings, everyone has the right to pursue their own ideals, if this ideal is not mixed with other impure factors, then I will support you in everything!"
"Thanks man, I'm really sad, I really don't want to leave if possible, I love everything about Notts County. I can't even imagine what it would be like to leave Notts County, but the day really came like this This feels terrible!" Meirelles seemed to be venting, looking a little agitated.
"Perhaps I should say I'm sorry. If I hadn't brought Deco to Notts County, you wouldn't have to leave Notts County. Sometimes I also reflect on whether my actions are right. Until now, I have not An answer that I can accept. Well, leaving aside the sad stuff, Notts County will always be your home even if you are gone, and you can always come back and spend Christmas with us, but you have ideal goals now Are you done? If there is no club that suits you, then I still advise you to stay in Notts County first!"
David's words were incoherent, and even he himself didn't know what he was talking about.
"The agent told me that there are many clubs that want to buy me, but the club has never let go. I don't have any particular club that I want to go to now, so I listen to the club's arrangement, but I hope not to go to a Premier League club. , because I really can't imagine the scene when I stand on the field as an opponent and play against Notts County!" Meirelles said sincerely.
David was dumbfounded, feeling even more uncomfortable.
"Then don't worry, I made a careful decision and will definitely choose the most suitable club for you, but what I want to say is that perhaps the Premier League team is the most suitable for you. After all, your salary is very high. It is difficult for the team to give this salary."
