Chapter 247 The Substitute

Mallorca won two consecutive goals and four goals, but there was one less goal score than Inter Milan this season. Cooper seemed to have begun to change and began to use more goals to win, which made Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League also begin to improve. Now both teams are six points, and Leverkusen and Newcastle have no point, and the polarization is very serious. However, Inter Milan and Mallorca will play against each other twice next year, which will be the only opportunity for Leverkusen and Newcastle.

However, after the game, there was a bad news in front of Jose.

During the game, Senna was injured and replaced by Garcia after a fight. It didn't seem serious at the time, but it seemed that it was just a muscle strain. However, after the detailed examination after the game, the team doctor told Jose about a very bad news.

"Our judgment seemed too optimistic... Thigh muscle strain existed, but that was just a small problem. During the additional examination, we found that Senna's right foot ligament also had signs of injury." The team doctor said to Jose with a serious expression.

"Ligament?" Jose was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew what a problem with this position meant: "How is the situation?"

"Not optimistic." The team doctor frowned and said, "Severe strain, conservative treatment may only take one month to recover, but if something happens again, it will be difficult to recover."

"Tell me your advice." Jose said, biting his lip.

"I suggest that you have surgery." The team doctor did not say much, but closed the folder in his hand: "His ligaments need to be repaired, and the operation can completely avoid his future risks, but the recovery time will be long."

Jose touched his chin: "How long?"

"Conservatively estimated to be six months." The team doctor said a huge number: "But... if the injury recurs, it might last for a year."

"This number is so fucking fucking." Jose cursed swearing in a gentle manner - six months to one year? It's so fucking... Even if Senna only rests for six months at this time, it would be equivalent to being reimbursed for all this season. In other words, Senna will not bring any help to Mallorca in the next season...

In the eyes of the team doctor, Jose may choose conservative treatment, so that the next one will be the winter break. Senna will be able to play again in a few weeks after the winter break. It is enough to replace Garcia and others at this time. After all, Mallorca only needs to play in the league now.

However, Jose never thought so. The team doctor would think so because Senna's value is very low and it seems that it is not worth sacrificing so long to restore his health. But Jose knows that Senna's value is not obvious yet. But in another year or two, the back midfielder who can defend well and help the team attack at the first time has become a treasured animal, especially in the European continent where the abnormal configuration of double back midfielder or even three back midfielder has begun to be widely used...

Moreover, Jose knew that Senna was a good midfielder who could be used for ten years, and this player was not as professional as ordinary Brazilian players. He was a very low-key but loyal player. Such a player deserves a year of wasted on him.

"Surgery." Jose simply said: "I can stand a year without Senna, but a year later, I want to see a completely healthy Senna."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem." The team doctor quickly replied. Although he was surprised by Jose's decision, the team doctor felt a little moved - he would rather have the team to lose money for a while and make the players' health the first. At least this behavior is enough to make the players die!

The team doctor has begun to feel how grateful Jose will be to him when Senna knows Jose’s decision!

In fact, the same is true.

When Senna, who was still on the hospital bed, heard the team doctor's report on his condition and Jose's decision, the Brazilian who looked like an old farmer had obvious excitement on his honest face - of course he knew what this meant. Although he might lose a year of career, it would leave him without any worries in his next career! If he had conservative treatment, although he could play in a month, he might be injured and retired early in his next career...

Conservative treatment is good for the club, but not for him.

Performing surgery will be beneficial to him personally, but it will cause damage to the club's current performance.

But Jose decided to perform surgery on him - if Senna was not moved, he would be a little cold-blooded.

Although Jose did not come to visit him, Senna felt that this approach was 10,100 times better than that hypocritical visit!

Senna, who was not good at speaking, did not say much, and did not tell the team doctor how grateful he was to the head coach. However, Senna knew that although no one could tell the future, as a personal person, as long as his contract with Mallorca was still there in the future, he would not take the initiative to leave whether he was playing as a substitute or a main player.

It was Jose who brought him from Brazil to Europe, and Jose who made him from a Brazilian substitute to become the main force of the top La Liga teams. Now he has decided to have surgery to extend his career instead of conservative treatment. Senna feels that there is not much to repay Jose.

Not to mention Senna's excitement, Jose began to feel a little headache - Senna was introduced to make up for the vacancy that Carlaze left. From now on, Senna did a good job, inconspicuous, but very important - such a player is the kind of player who doesn't think there is more on the court, but if he is not on the court, you will definitely feel that there is something missing. His contribution to defense and his ability to timely shoot the ball to the core of the organization at the moment of defensive transition are incomparable to other Mallorca's midfielders. Garcia's defense is fierce enough, but for Mallorca now, it is not enough. He can only be an engineer. If he assists with Albertini, Albertini will spend a lot of energy in the game.

Another method is to use Alonso and Albertini to partner, but this can only be a stopgap measure. In general games, it can also allow Alonso to learn from Albertini. However, in the Champions League knockout stage in the second half of the season and in the game against strong teams, this combination will weaken the defense than now, and it will not help the offense much. Jose will not do such things that are not worth the effort.

As for Marcos, it cannot replace Senna's role.

Although Mallorca has five midfielders, after Senna was injured, she seemed a little stretched, which was a helpless thing. If all the five midfielders were outstanding, it would be impossible. Jose could only determine the main and substitute candidates. Rotation was enough. The special situation of Senna's injury was irreparable. In other words, Jose must introduce a player who can play the main force, even if it is just a temporary fire.

He decided to discuss it with Piri.

"Your request is a bit difficult." Piri said with a frown: "It's hard to find good midfielders in the La Liga. Even if there are, they are all key figures in the club... In fact, I think it's too wasteful to use Alonso and Garcia as substitutes, although they are willing to be substitutes."

"There is no way. Garcia's strength is not very good. My midfielder doesn't need pure engineers. At least he can pass the ball in the defense. Senna is doing very well in this regard. Alonso can do this, but now I am transforming him into a core of the midfield organization. If he undertakes too many defensive tasks, it will only slow down his growth... Albertini only has a loan period of one year. Although he is doing well, I can see from his eyes that his heart will not be in Mallorca... Maybe he will choose to leave at the end of the loan period." Jose said helplessly: "It is precisely because of this that I will only let Alonso learn from Albertini, instead of attacking Albertini, so that he can change his style of playing, from an engineer to a core. If Albertini leaves next season, Alonso will be able to fill the vacancy after he leaves."

"You think far." Piri nodded appreciatively. He was very happy about this. He only saw that the coach for a while is impossible to organize a team that can continue to be strong. However, Jose can look at it longer without the pressure of being dismissed. This is his advantage.

But no matter how long the vision is, imminent situations must be solved. If a person does not have a long-term plan, he will have immediate worries.

"There is no suitable candidate in China, maybe we should look at it longer-term." Piri did not mention the second team and the youth team. The second team is no longer a person. Except for one Mathias, the strength of other players is average, and Mathias is not a midfielder. The youth team... we can't let those 15 or 16-year-old kids play the main force, so it's better to use Garcia.

However, Piri has played a great role in the formation of the youth team recently. In addition to the Silvanese group introduced before, Piri has also found many outstanding young players everywhere, and dug up the 17-year-old forward Alvaro Negredo from Vallecano. He is now the number one forward of the youth team, and David Silva has become the most favored young players by the youth team - unfortunately, it still cannot quench the near thirst...

"Foreign?" Jose picked up a scout information and read it. This is the recent situation of major leagues in mainland Europe compiled by the scouting system. After taking office, Piri managed the scouting system quite well. A large amount of information was sent from all over Europe every day. Piri's assistants classified these information every day. The next step is to expand the scouting system to all parts of the world. Now Mallorca's scouts only have a few points in Brazil and Argentina. This is not enough. It is imperative to increase the scouting system development in Africa and North America.

Looking at the recent movements of major clubs, Jose carefully observed whether there were suitable choices. When he saw a team, his eyes lit up.

"How did I forget this person!" Jose couldn't help laughing - after all, he was not a memory madman. After all, he had been reborn for so long. Except for some top players, he didn't remember the other players very clearly. In fact, he discovered what club Senna and Beletti had before transferring to the club he found through the current scouting system. The advantage of rebirth was to let him see a more familiar name and remember everything about this person, instead of thinking about it and knowing what cheap and good players are available.
