Chapter 16 Every game is the final (《》)
"It seems that the Mallorca head coach I saw in the league before is not the same..." Etoo thought to himself.
"The head coach who played against Real Madrid before has resigned, and now I will serve as the executive head coach." Seeing Etoo's doubts, Jose smiled and took the initiative to say.
Etoo nodded in a clear way. This is normal. The head coach of the professional club is really a blessing.
"I think you already know what I'm here." Jose continued to say bluntly, this is his style, and for young people like Etoo, there seems to be no need to talk around in circles.
Etoo nodded: "Yes, Mr. Jose, I've heard Mr. Piri say that the Mallorca club wants to loan me for half a season."
Jose laughed. It seemed that Piri had already planned to agree to Mallorca's loan request, but she still went around such a big circle - but it was no wonder that Etoo was brought to Madrid from Africa five years ago. Piri himself is an African, so he will naturally treat this half of his fellow villager differently. Etoo is indeed worth training, so Piri naturally needs to be more careful. I just said that I was probably just wondering if Mallorca will train Etoo well. After all, Mallorca only has the only chance of training. If Mallorca cannot play the main player, it is really better to stay in Real Madrid and train with those stars.
Jose's attitude proves that Mallorca really needs Etoo, so Piri naturally has nothing to worry about. It's just that Mallorca uses Etoo almost for half a season. Anyway, Etoo does not have much chance at Real Madrid. It will naturally be beneficial to Real Madrid if it can be trained. Even if it can't be trained, Real Madrid will not suffer much loss. Instead, it will sell it well to Mallorca and will always be rewarded in the future.
"It's like this... I think you know something about the situation of the Mallorca club... We are not very good now in the league. Although I led Mallorca to defeat Vallecano yesterday and won the first victory in eight rounds, it's not enough. If you want to relegate, you need more points, you need more victory, you need more goals, you need more goals... We already have Diego Tristan, but we still lack a striker who can complement him. Now, I think you are the one who can bring to Mallorca.
Forwards who win and score. Etoo, you can also get what you need now in Mallorca - that is the opportunity to play for the official game, and it is not the Spanish Second Division, but the real La Liga game... Now, the only useful striker on Mallorca's striker is Tristan, and your characteristics are completely different from him, so you don't need to worry about not having a chance to play in Mallorca. As long as you are in good shape and work hard enough on the court, then you are the absolute main striker. Now, please tell me, are you willing to come to Mallorca to spend the rest of the season?"
After saying that, Jose looked at Etoo quietly and waited for his answer.
He knew that the talent of African players is often amazing, but not many of them can achieve outstanding achievements. Although many of them became famous in their teenage years, there are very few players who can always maintain excellent form. Although many of them can always perform well, the proportion of African players is pitifully small. A large part of the reason is that these African players' emotional intelligence is often quite average, and most of them even have certain problems with IQ. Even if a brainless player has excellent physical fitness and skills, he will not achieve much. There are only a few African players who can keep improving continuously, such as George Wea, Abedi Bailey, Didier Drogba... Of course, there must be the name of Samuel Etoo!
Etoo is not a brainless player. On the contrary, he is still very smart, otherwise he would not achieve his future achievements. Mallorca's loan is also very beneficial to him. He will not ignore it - perhaps other young players will choose to stay in Real Madrid because of their vanity, but Etoo will definitely choose the most altruistic path.
Etoo's thinking ability was faster than Jose imagined. After thinking for a while, Etoo nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Jose, I agree to join the Mallorca Club on loan."
Jose smiled and then reached out to him: "Congratulations, Samuel, you made the right decision."
Real Madrid Club agreed, Etoo himself agreed - what else can prevent the completion of this loan contract? Of course not! Jose is very fast, Real Madrid is not slow either. So, triple loan contract was signed. Etoo himself has no agent now, so it was Piri who signed the contract for him. After the three parties signed the contract, one belongs to Real Madrid Club, one belongs to Mallorca Club, and the other is archived in the Spanish Football Association. From now until the end of the season, Etoo is already considered a Mallorca person.
"Do you need to pack up? I can wait for you for a day and go to Mallorca with you." Jose showed his due respect. The next league round is January 30th five days later, and there is still a long time left.
Etoo shook his head: "No need, sir, I have nothing to clean up... Now I can follow you to Majorca."
Jose nodded with satisfaction - Etoo was looking forward to going to Mallorca immediately because he wanted to play - he appeared once in the first team of Real Madrid last season and twice in the first team of Real Madrid this season. The young Cameroonian is indeed looking forward to the official game.
If you want to say that Etoo is really nothing unique now, he was not able to guarantee his main role in Real Madrid B team three seasons ago. Leganes in the Spanish Second Division played 28 times in the 9798 season and scored only three goals. He was once loaned to Espanyol last season and did not play in a single game. He was even a substitute among the substitutes in the 98 World Cup... For a young man, this is really hard to bear.
Although Jose cannot let Etoo play immediately in the next league game, as long as he is a little familiar with his teammates, Jose will let Etoo in the main lineup - he firmly believes that Mallorca is the most suitable team for Etoo, at least for Etoo now.
Although he didn't play in the first half of the season, he kept training with Real Madrid's first team, so Etoo's health was fine. Jose soon knew this.
On January 26, the Mallorca Club announced that Cameroonian striker Samuel Etoo was loaned from Real Madrid. Although Etoo has been in Spain for five years, he has not been included in Spanish nationality - because he has traced his ancestors back to 18 generations and has nothing to do with Spain. He is a pure African. Although he can obtain Spanish nationality after living in Spain for five years, the regulation can only be calculated from the age of eighteen, and Etoo himself seems to have no interest in Spanish nationality.
Fortunately, Mallorca does not have any foreign aid. Several Argentine players have Spanish nationality. Argentina itself is a Spanish colony. Historically, all Latin America except Brazil were Spanish colonies. Argentine whites basically immigrated from Spain, so La Liga is often a paradise for Argentines, language, living habits, and nationality. When they transfer to Spanish clubs, they basically do not occupy the quota for foreign aid.
Previously, Mallorca's non-EU players were Stankovic from Yugoslavia. La Liga regulations were that the first team could only have four non-EU players and only three on the court. Mallorca did not go beyond this category, and even if there was one more non-EU Etoo, it would not have any impact.
In addition to the local media in Mallorca's loan information, other media have only mentioned it - in the entire La Liga, including the Spanish Second Division, I don't know how many players came from Real Madrid's youth training camp. Later La Liga said that Real Madrid's youth training camp and Barcelona's youth training camp: "Real Madrid's youth training supports all La Liga teams, and Barcelona's youth training supports themselves." There are countless teams in La Liga that are all from Real Madrid, but Real Madrid itself uses a large number of foreign superstars, while Barcelona's first team's backbone is basically trained by themselves... So Mallorca, who is in trouble, loaned a young forward from Real Madrid who cannot play the main player without a transfer fee. It is really normal.
Mallorca has no objection to a forward loan on loan. Everyone knows that Mallorca's problem now is not defense, but offense. Although he scored three goals in the last game, the opportunities created in the whole game were basically those three goals. No wonder Vallecano's Vazquez was so unwilling to accept it. Mallorca's luck in the last game was also a bit too good.
Tristan naturally didn't care. No one could shake his position. Biagini on the hospital bed would not be satisfied. He could not play this season. As for Gentros and Carlos... one of these two strikers failed to score a goal in half a season, and scored two goals in the other half a season. Even if they wanted to express their dissatisfaction, they wouldn't be so embarrassed.
After the team reported, Etoo immediately participated in the team's training camp and joint training.
First of all, Etoo shocked the entire Mallorca club in terms of speed. The speed of 100 meters was nearly eleven seconds, which was already a terrifying number. In any team, such a forward can be called a "fast horse". Although Etoo is fast, his ability to fight is not bad. He is 1.80 meters tall and has a strong physique unique to a black man. Although his heading ability seems average, as long as he gets the ball under his feet, he will not easily lose the ball when facing the pressing of Nino, the strongest on the defense line.
"Real Madrid players are Real Madrid players, and a substitute is so outstanding." Many Mallorca players thought to themselves.
Mallorca does not have any player from famous families. Although Nadal reached his peak in Barcelona, at the best time he was the main central defender of Barcelona and the Spanish national team. However, he was actually from Mallorca and is now just returning to his roots. Other players, even a few Argentine players, did not come from Argentina giants. Captain Ngongjia only started playing in La Liga after he was 25 years old. He is a typical player from obscurity to a little famous - to put it bluntly, this is a group of grassroots.
Now, Jose is going to lead this group of grassroots to make a world in La Liga and fight for survival in La Liga!
"In the last game, we won a precious victory, but in terms of importance, I think the importance of this game is more important." Jose held a meeting before the game started, and he told all the players: "Vallecano is not our direct competitor, while Numancia is the absolute competitor! Their points are now twenty-seven points, which is thirteen more than us. If we cannot win this game, then even a draw,
Chapter completed!
