Chapter 830 Checking for Leaks

In terms of midfield, De Paul left, and of course Valverde filled his position. This player is an excellent midfielder, whether it is the right midfielder in the three midfielders or the right midfielder in the four midfielders. , Even as a right back, he can be very competent, which also allows the 20-year-old Uruguayan midfielder to play a lot of games in Southampton in the past two seasons, and he has been fully supported. Exercising, righting his body now, will naturally bring out his abilities to the fullest.

And Sancho can be used as his substitute, or as the main right winger when the three strikers are changed.

In terms of midfield, although after Hoybil left, there are still Phillips and Prowse who can partner with De Bruyne in the midfield, but their strength is still a little bit worse.

In the final analysis, these two local players are okay to play in the Premier League, but facing the top teams in the Premier League and the powerful players in the Champions League, they are still a bit worse.

He needs to find a better midfielder to partner with De Bruyne.

Now for Southampton, they don't need a large number of substitutions, so targeted reinforcements and preparations for the next is the best thing.

Originally Gretzka was a good candidate. With his strong body and excellent running and covering ability, he can support De Bruyne very well, but he just refuses to come, and Ji Ya has no choice.

So after careful selection, Ji Ya took a fancy to the Spanish 22-year-old midfielder Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante, nicknamed Rodri, who played for Villarreal in La Liga.

The midfielder was born in the youth training of Atletico Madrid and joined Villarreal at the age of 17. After training, he has played the main force in Villarreal in the last two or three seasons, and even served as a player in the first two seasons. The main players have played a lot of times in the Champions League. They are young, capable, and have accumulated good experience.

Rodri is tall, with a height of 1.9 meters, so that he does not suffer at all when confronting, and he also has the excellent passing and dispatching ability of the Spanish midfielder, which belongs to a fairly comprehensive midfielder.

With him beside De Bruyne, Southampton's midfield will be even better.

Of course, this kind of players who have already made their mark in the top league are not easy to find, but for Southampton now, they don't particularly want to make money from buying and selling. If there is a suitable one, just pay for it.

After all, Villarreal is a small team. Although their results are not bad, their financial resources have always been only average.

So after negotiating with Southampton for a few days, the two sides quickly reached an agreement, Rodri moved from Villarreal to Southampton for £2000 million, and he will sign with Southampton A five-year contract.

Ji Ya is very satisfied with the introduction of Rodri, so there will be no shortage of people in the midfield, but the left side is still a little bit worse, and now there is only Grealish as the main force on the left side - Ji Ya will continue the [-] tactic Yes, after all, tactics cannot always be changed.

Grealish is playing right now, and his performance is quite good, so when buying someone in this position, you still have to focus on the future.

So Ji Ya took the trouble to start experimenting everywhere. He first experimented with local players, but after experimenting and experimenting, there was nothing particularly suitable. Then he began to experiment in other places, and finally let him experiment with an Argentine player...

Alexis McAllister, 19 and a half years old, Argentine midfielder, now playing for the Argentine youth, has played in the Argentine youth for two seasons, the first season in the second team, and the team After being promoted together, they played Ajia for another season.

He is 1.7 meters tall, but his running ability is quite good, his feet are not weak, and he can appear in any position in the midfield, whether it is two full-backs or front midfielder and back midfielder, he is competent.

His personal training program requires 85 achievement points, which is pretty good.

Ji Ya’s choice is actually not to buy a pawn, but to buy a future star. It’s best if he doesn’t have much fame and doesn’t spend any money. , and was not considered by him.

After all, there is no shortage of main players in Southampton's midfield.

In this way, McAllister is very suitable. He can be a substitute in the team. After all, he is still young. If he really can’t play the game, he can be loaned out. The most important thing is that he is not worth much. , Argentine youngsters have been newly promoted from the A-League. Of course, it will be much easier to poach people from such a team.

In fact, this is also the case. Southampton finally bought McAllister's dominance from the Argentine youth for only 500 million pounds.

In this way, there will be no shortage of people in Southampton's midfield, and B Fee can go up to the front line more. It just so happens that Allais has been a little restless recently. At the age of 24, he feels that his chances in Southampton are still too few. One point, I want to go to a position where I can play the main force.

But it’s no wonder that he and Alvarez were substitutes for Southampton’s two forwards last season. In fact, he played a little more time as a substitute at the beginning. , when Ji Ya looked for another partner for Du Yue, he preferred Alvarez, who had a wide range of activities through running. Alai had almost no chance to play in the second half of the season, so it's no wonder he had ideas.

Ji Ya originally introduced him last season to have a substitute for a high center forward in the frontcourt, but after playing behind, he found that the high center forward was not very useful to Southampton's offense, but would affect their overall performance. A flexible striker like Alvarez and a player like Fernando B who are between midfielders and forwards, who can pass the ball and shoot long shots, are more useful. Under such circumstances, Allais will continue to stay at Southampton Ton, it was indeed a bit of a waste.

So he also gave the green light to Allais' transfer. As long as there is a suitable price, Southampton can let him transfer.

Alai's agent tossed a lot, and finally found Alai's next home. West Ham United, which lacked strikers, was eager for talent and signed him with a transfer fee of 500 million pounds. For a 24-year-old center forward, this price is actually a bit low, but considering that Allais didn't play much last season, such a transfer fee is not bad.

Moreover, Alai didn't make trouble during the season when he wanted to transfer. Instead, he expressed his thoughts to the club after the season.

In this way, the number of Southampton's first team is actually equivalent to one less person, but after thinking about it, Ji Ya decided not to sign any more. After all, Vinicius is already a part of Southampton, even if he doesn't Immediately enter the first team, with his talent, he can also enter the first team at any time!
