Chapter 429 De Gea: Real Madrid, what are you doing!

After the fourth round of the Premier League, the FIFA match day is coming.

Before the next round of the league, the Spanish national team has two official matches to play.

Considering that their next opponent is their main rival in the group, Slovakia, Bosque recalled all the main players including Lin Quan, intending to face the opponent with the strongest lineup.

If they can win this game, Spain will qualify for the group stage three rounds in advance.

Although it is only a matter of time for Spain to qualify for the European Cup qualifiers given their strength, qualifying earlier will reduce the pressure on the team and allow Bosque more room for redundancy when arranging his troops.

The final few rounds of the European Cup qualifiers will last until mid-October, and by that time, all major leagues, cup competitions and Champions League group stages will have already started in full swing.

If a national team match is added, it is likely to increase the burden on the players and increase their risk of injury.

Right now Spain’s main goal is to qualify for the European qualifiers, and then adjust the team’s lineup and the players’ condition to meet next year’s European Cup in the best possible condition.

Although the European Cup is only a football tournament in Europe, it is far inferior to the World Cup in scale and influence.

However, given that Europe is the most developed region in football today, there are many strong teams in Europe. Even a strong team like Spain cannot guarantee that it will not fail in the knockout stage or even the group stage.

Bosque led the team to defend the World Cup title, but has not yet tasted the taste of defending the European Cup. If he can achieve this result, he can retire with peace of mind after the 2018 World Cup.

After reporting to the national team's training base with ease, Lin Quan saw Morata limping outside the stadium with a crutch.

"Alvaro, what happened to your leg?"

Lin Quan asked curiously when he saw the exaggerated bandage.

Although the next game is very important, the head coach doesn't need to call back such an injured player, right? His legs are in such a state, how can he play in the game? "Ahem, it's okay, it's just a minor injury!"

Morata's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Quan and he limped over.

"Boss, it's fine if you eliminated us in the Champions League last year, but you must show mercy in this year's group stage!"

Morata did not receive a call-up from the national team. He chose to return to Madrid to recuperate. He happened to encounter the national team training camp, so he came here for a walk on crutches.

As for the injury on his leg, it was actually not as serious as it looked.

He just strained the muscle in his left calf during team training. According to the team doctor, he would be fine after resting for five weeks.

He was injured in early August. Calculating the time, he is almost able to walk now, and may be able to participate in training in another week.

As for why he had to act so miserable, it was to win Lin Quan's sympathy, so that he would show mercy and let them go for the sake of their relationship and his own injury! Morata is already 23 years old, and it has been a year since he left Real Madrid.

For Morata, who has dreamed of playing for Real Madrid since he was a child, returning to the Bernabeu is his most important goal in the short term.

To achieve this goal, he needs to perform well at Juventus.

To be honest, Morata's performance at Juventus is not bad.

After he joined Juventus last year, he played 46 games for Juventus throughout the year, scored 18 goals and provided 9 assists.

Among them, there are 11 league goals, 5 domestic cup goals and 2 Champions League goals.

This data is much better than in the previous life. It is probably because Morata was driven and influenced by Lin Quan in the national team, which led to his improvement!

In short, Morata at this time should be a little stronger than he was in history in terms of various data and abilities! But this data is not particularly outstanding. At his age, there are many players who are better than him.

If he just stays in Juventus, then this data will definitely help him secure his position as a main player for the Old Lady.

But that will not be enough if he wants to return to the Bernabeu.

Because each of Real Madrid's BBC trio is stronger than him, and not just a little bit stronger.

However, when the transfer window opened this summer, news came from Madrid that Real Madrid seemed to be interested in activating Morata's buyback clause and bringing him back to the Bernabeu.

This news made Morata very excited and expectant. He felt that it must be because of his outstanding performance in Serie A and the Champions League that impressed Real Madrid and made Real Madrid have such an idea.

However, until last night, the moment the transfer window closed, he still had not received an offer from Real Madrid.

This let Morata know that his hopes of returning to the Bernabeu this season were dashed.

But this did not discourage Morata, but instead further stimulated his fighting spirit.

He feels that as long as he keeps working hard, performs better in the league and the Champions League, and produces better statistics, perhaps Real Madrid will take action.

And as a native of Madrid, it is easier for Morata to get the inside information of Real Madrid than others.

He heard from the grapevine that there seemed to be a conflict between the president of Real Madrid and the team's top star Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo was clamoring to leave, and president Florentino did not seem to be trying to keep him.

Although I don’t know why he didn’t leave in the end, the relationship between the two of them will definitely not be as harmonious as before.

As a direct descendant of Real Madrid's youth training camp, once Ronaldo really leaves, as long as his strength can meet Real Madrid's requirements, Real Madrid will most likely recall him!

In addition to Morata's desire to put on the white jersey of Real Madrid and play for Real Madrid, what excites him most is that Lin Quan may return to La Liga and join Real Madrid in the future.

After the cooperation experience in the national team, Morata dreams of continuing to cooperate with Lin Quan in the club.

Hearing Morata's words, Lin Quan looked at him curiously: "If you want to qualify from the group, it depends on your own performance, right? Even if we really show mercy, if you lose to Sevilla or Monchengladbach, we can't save you, right?"

"That's true, but everyone knows that you, Manchester City, are the strongest team in this group. We are worried that you will get enough points to qualify in advance, and then will you let down in the last two rounds?"

Lin Quan understood what Morata meant. This guy was worried that Manchester City would let up after getting ashore early, allowing Sevilla and Borussia Mönchengladbach to benefit, which would then make it difficult for Juventus to qualify.

"Haha, don't worry, we won't let anyone off the hook!"

Based on Lin Quan's understanding of Guardiola, although he may arrange substitute players to play after the team qualifies in advance, Guardiola does not like the feeling of losing, so he will definitely not let them win.

Even with a substitute lineup, it is not easy for these teams to beat Manchester City. If it is really not possible, Lin Quan can take the initiative to apply to play and help the team win these two games.

Of course, this depends on Juventus' own performance. If Juventus performs poorly and has no hope of qualifying at the end of the group stage, then even if Manchester City defeats these two teams, it may be of no help.

But if they themselves perform very well and have a clear advantage, Lin Quan doesn't mind giving them a hand.

After all, allowing more giants to enter the knockout stage can muddy the waters and cause more trouble for other competitors.

After hearing Lin Quan's answer, Morata didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The other party clearly said that they would kill Juventus if they met them.

Alas, Morata felt disheartened when he thought about the two group matches they had to play against Manchester City.

How is it possible to defeat such a powerful enemy?

…

When Lin Quan arrived at the training base, almost everyone there was there, except one person.

This person is none other than De Gea, who is not sure whether to be called a Real Madrid or Manchester United player.

As Spain's second goalkeeper, De Gea is naturally on Bosque's call-up list.

However, he arrived late on September 1, after all the other players had arrived.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

With a tired look and dark circles under his eyes, De Gea walked into the national team's training base like a zombie.

"David, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you get drained by the girls in Madrid?"

"You look like you're not getting enough sleep!"

"Young people need to exercise moderation. This is not okay!"

When teammates saw De Gea indulging himself in excessive sexual activities, they all started to persuade him.

"Stop, stop, what are you filthy guys thinking about? I didn't call any girls, nor did I go to the night market to hang out!"

"So what are you doing..."

Teammates looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had happened to him. How could he be in this state without any trouble? De Gea said indignantly: "Damn fax machine, it has ruined me!"

"Ah? What's this about the fax machine?"

Everyone was confused and lost.

"Could it be related to your transfer?"

Everyone thought about what happened to De Gea recently and made some guesses.

This summer, the biggest soap opera in the football transfer market is Real Madrid's pursuit of Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

From May when Real Madrid hinted at the desire to sign De Gea until the transfer window closed, the farce between the two clubs regarding De Gea's transfer continued.

At first, Real Madrid wanted to bring in De Gea at a low price of 20 million euros, but this price was far from the bottom price that Manchester United had in mind.

As one of the best goalkeepers in European football, they believe that De Gea's value should not be lower than Neuer and Buffon.

In addition, Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas has officially announced that he will join Porto. As Real Madrid no longer has a goalkeeper, Manchester United believes that they have a sure win over Real Madrid, so they rejected Real Madrid's offer without hesitation.

De Gea actually wants to join Real Madrid, he can't stand the bad weather in Manchester.

In addition, since Ferguson retired, Manchester United's performance has been declining day by day.

He has started to act as the dean at Manchester United, and a goalkeeper being the dean shows how badly the team's performance is.

Although this gave De Gea a lot of training opportunities and allowed his wonderful performances to frequently appear on the Internet and TV, it greatly increased his fame and popularity.

But as a professional player, his desire for honor is above all else.

If he continues to stay at Manchester United, he sees no hope of winning honors.

So, in 2014, when Manchester United asked De Gea to renew his contract, De Gea rejected Manchester United's request for renewal.

This means that De Gea's contract with Manchester United only has one year left. The value of a player with only one year left on his contract in the transfer market will naturally be greatly reduced.

This is also the reason why Real Madrid dared to offer 20 million euros.

But Manchester United cannot accept such a price. After all, when they introduced De Gea from Atletico Madrid, the transfer price was more than 20 million euros.

Over the years, they have finally trained De Gea to become a world-class goalkeeper, but Real Madrid jumped out and wanted to pick the peaches, and even picked the peaches at a price below cost. Is this reasonable?

So, the two sides argued endlessly about De Gea's transfer price, and talked about it again and again.

Manchester United's attitude is very firm. Either you raise the price, or I will force De Gea to stay, no matter how long it takes, until next summer.

Real Madrid doesn’t have a suitable goalkeeper now, and forcing it to continue will be disadvantageous to them.

So they had no choice but to give in and gradually increase the price from the initial 20 million euros to 35 million pounds, which is about 40 million euros.

Although this price is still far from what Manchester United had in mind, as the transfer window is approaching, the two sides can no longer negotiate any results.

Manchester United is not at a big loss by selling a goalkeeper with only one year left on his contract for 40 million.

So, after a long tug of war, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

At this point, this farce seemed to be coming to an end, and De Gea's return to La Liga to join Real Madrid seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

He also hosted a banquet for his teammates in Manchester and said goodbye to them one by one.

However, in the final stages, the transfer failed.

After Manchester United submitted De Gea's transfer documents to FIFA, Real Madrid did not follow up in time to register De Gea with the Spanish Professional Football League.

The main reason for this situation was that the Real Madrid club's fax machine broke down and the registration documents could not be sent out.

As a result, De Gea's transfer failed.

De Gea kept an eye on the news all night last night and even wrote a tweet, waiting for the official announcement call from his agent and Real Madrid Club, and then making the news of his joining Real Madrid public.

However, due to Real Madrid's poor performance, his transfer was completely ruined.

Now, De Gea is still a Manchester United player, but he has said goodbye to his teammates and coaches one by one, and Manchester United has also introduced a backup goalkeeper.

He really doesn't know with what identity or face he should return to Manchester United.

Will a player who wants to leave but fails be regarded as a traitor by his teammates and fans?

Even if the fans and teammates forgive him, he himself will be ashamed at Manchester United.

But because Real Madrid is very strict with the time, the transfer window has closed and now he can't even find another team to sign with.

When De Gea thought about this, he really wanted to die.

Real Madrid, Real Madrid, what the hell are you doing? You messed up such an important transfer because of a fax machine!

Now, De Gea is in a difficult situation, and Real Madrid themselves are in a difficult situation too. If De Gea doesn't come, who will be the goalkeeper for Real Madrid in the new season?
