Chapter 278 Meirelles in an Awkward Position

Before calling David, Meireles had already communicated with the team coach Loew.

Obviously, Deco, who played in Porto last season, will return to Notts County this season, and Notts County has not deliberately concealed this.

So, the problem arises.

According to Loew's most commonly used 41 or 433 formation, whether it is a double midfielder or a three midfielder, the team captain Alonso will occupy a main position, and Deco, a powerful new aid, is even more unlikely to be a substitute. Therefore, Meireles, who was the main force of the team last season, wants to become the main force in the new season. He can only fight for the starting position of the last midfielder when the team is playing a three-back formation.

However, in the three-back formation, the importance of the defensive midfielder is self-evident. In other words, his competitiveness may still be behind Mascherano. Where is Mei who is used to the absolute main force? Reyles can accept it!

Although he has extraordinary feelings for Notts County, if he can only be a substitute player, then he has 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 at Notts County, it is difficult to predict the height he can get in the future. .

So, he had a candid talk with coach Loew.

In fact, Loew is also in the trouble of happiness now. In addition to Deco, who is about to report to the team, there are currently four authentic 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 cruel!

In his heart, Alonso and Deco, the two organizational midfielders, are definitely the best candidates for a double midfielder, and the two also have enough defensive ability to fully support Notts County's midfield backbone.

When playing the three midfield tactics, Mascherano played a bigger role. He could use the strongest defense to liberate Alonso and Deco and play their maximum attacking power.

From this point of view, Meireles will probably become the player with the least playing time among the four midfielders. It is a pity that his b2b attributes are rare. In today's football, top all-around midfielders are rare.

It is very important to maintain the thickness of the team's lineup, especially when Notts County will still face multi-line battles next season. If possible, Low hopes that Meirelles can stay.

But Loew understood the cruelty of professional football, and he was unwilling to deceive Meireles, so he told Meireles directly and honestly about his plans, and apologized with a complicated mind.

If possible, anyone who is not willing to change clubs frequently is willing to achieve loyalty in a club, but only if they can play.

Even if he stays in Notts County, because of the rotation policy that the team will inevitably adopt, his playing time is guaranteed to a minimum, but compared with his absolute main force last season, the gap is more than a little bit, as a player who has been selected As far as the midfielders of the national team are concerned, if you can't even play the main force in a team, how can you still retain the identity of the country!

So after a deep talk with Love, Meirelles called David seriously.

"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 competitions. Obviously, with my current situation in Notts County, I am afraid It can't be done, so even though I'm sad, I have to make this decision!"

Meireles relayed the conversation between him and Love to David, and when he said these words, Meireles' voice was already choked up.

David sighed deeply, every transfer period was the most tormented time in his heart.

He is very clear about this. With the arrival of Deco, it will inevitably further squeeze the playing time of other midfielders, and Meirelles is the first one.

The so-called all-around midfielder can attack and defend.

But sometimes all-around means mediocrity. Compared with Deco and Alonso, Meireles' ability to organize offense is worse. Compared with Mascherano, Meireles' defensive ability is also poor. It's a little worse. When it comes to long shots, he can't beat Sneijder. Even with such a player who is both offensive and defensive in the midfield, it can greatly increase the thickness of the team's bench, but in the final analysis, his competitiveness is still weak. Some.

If Meirelles can accept the status of the bench, then Notts County must have his place, but for a player who has really made his name, I am afraid that no one can accept it.

After being silent for a while, David tried to cover up the heaviness of his heart with a relatively relaxed way: "Raul, I understand your mood, everyone has the right to pursue their own ideals, if this ideal is not mixed with other impurities factor, then as I will support you!"

"Thanks Boss, I'm really sad, I really don't want to leave if possible, I love everything about Notts County. I can't imagine what it would be like to leave Notts County, but the day really came. Oh, it feels so bad!" Meireles seemed to be venting, looking a little excited.

"Maybe it should be me saying sorry, if I hadn't brought Deco to Notts County, you wouldn't have to leave Notts County, and sometimes I'm also reflecting on whether I'm doing the right thing, and until now, I haven't An answer I can accept. Well, let's not talk about these sad things, even if you leave, Notts County will always be your home, you can come back anytime for Christmas with us, but you have ideal goals now Is it? If there is no suitable club for you, then I still advise you to stay in Notts County!"

David's words were so incoherent that he didn't even know what he was talking about.

"The agent told me that there are many clubs who want to buy me, but the club has never let go. I don't have any club that I particularly want to go to, so I listen to the club's arrangement, but I hope not to go to the Premier League club. , because I really can't imagine the scene when I stand on the field and play Notts County as an opponent one day!" Meirelles said sincerely.

David was dumbfounded, and his heart was even more unpleasant.

"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 maybe the Premier League team is the most suitable for you. It is difficult for the team to give this salary." (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
