For Yun Sheng, this busy summer can finally take a breather.
Liu Surong has returned to Spain, and the operation of Yuntian Company can be left to her. Yun Sheng really does not want to manage the company, which is much more troublesome than Green Field.
The transfer work has been completed, and now Yunsheng no longer needs to read various scouting reports all day long.
The club's management has also completely completed the integration work after the acquisition. Dong Ke got started quickly. As Yunsheng's No. 1 celebrity, he now has great power in the club. Chairman Tino has to discuss many things with him. He has now taken over all the work of managing the club, and Yun Sheng feels much more relaxed.
Next, Yunsheng only needs to focus on considering the team's tactics for the new season.
It has been nearly a month since the European Cup ended, and Yun Sheng can finally feel more relaxed.
But for the players, the real test is coming.
In late July, Depor Club ushered in the day for players to return to the team for training. The players have all finished their vacations and family visits and returned to Deportivo to prepare for the new season.
For these players, many people feel uneasy.
This summer, Yunsheng let go of many players who played in the second division last season, almost emptying half of the team, which made the remaining players quite worried.
More than a dozen new players also have some worries about the new season. They look forward to integrating into the team as soon as possible. Especially those veterans attach great importance to the last stop of their careers. Young players are also slightly worried about whether they can get more playing opportunities in the new season.
Yunsheng thought about this for a long time, studied it carefully with Guti and Li Tie, and worked out several technical plans and tactics. He just waited for the players to try them one by one when they returned to the team for training to find the best option.
After signing and selling players during the summer transfer period, as well as promoting youth team players, Yunsheng has now determined the team's roster for the new season.
Goalkeepers: Alain Subbia (1), Navas (31), Lux (32).
Defenders: Balzaretti (4), Maicon (2), Salomon (27), Miranda (28), Zhang Linpeng (5), Marchena (24), Castro (26), Lu Theo (3), Nesta (13).
Midfielder: Gattuso (8), Cai Huikang (6), Riquelme (10), Ronaldo (19), Pogba (15), Belleron (21), Domingos (16) , Camunhas (25).
Forwards: Wu Lei (7), Irving (18), Berbatov (9), Oliveira (30).
This 24-man first-team lineup can be said to have sufficient personnel reserves for each line, and the age level is also very reasonable.
For the goalkeeper position, the 33-year-old Spanish veteran goalkeeper Alan Subbia has been Deportivo's main goalkeeper for many years. He is considered the top player in La Liga. Even compared with La Liga goalkeepers, he is ranked in the middle.
However, his main position will be adjusted in the new season. Costa Rican new player Navas will get certain playing opportunities. He is a signing that Yunsheng values very much.
As for third goalkeeper Lux, he is the team's backup. The 29-year-old Spaniard comes from the Deportivo youth training camp. His strength is average and he is more suitable as the third goalkeeper. He does not compete for the main position and can step up at critical moments.
At the full-back position, new players Balzaretti and Maicon will become the main players in the new season. These two 30-year-old top full-backs in Serie A are still in peak condition.
The 24-year-old Portuguese Salomão and the 21-year-old Spaniard Miranda both came from the Deportivo youth academy. Salomão is a typical offensive left back, and his characteristics are strong offense and weak defense; Miranda is extremely physical and active in fighting, and is an excellent right back prospect. These two players will become part of the full-back rotation in the new season.
There are a total of five players at the center back position.
Last season's central defender combination was the 33-year-old Spanish captain Marchena and the 26-year-old Portuguese central defender Castro. Marchena has been with Depor for more than ten years. He is Depor's veteran hero. During his ten-year captaincy, he has witnessed the rise and fall of the team. Castro is also good. He came from Atletico Madrid's youth training camp and is known for his solid defense.
However, it is unlikely that the two will team up this season. Among the several new players, Zhang Linpeng’s main position is certain. This 23-year-old talented defender from China will become the defense general that Yunsheng relies on most.
There are also 33-year-old Lucio and 35-year-old Nesta, who are also very competitive. Lucio also played a rotation role in Inter Milan last season and was in good form; Nesta also played a lot as a substitute in Milan last season. These two veterans will get more opportunities in the new season, especially the combination with Zhang Linpeng, which is what Yunsheng values most.
The midfield position is well-staffed.
Last season, Deportivo's midfield quartet in the Spanish Second Division was Cai Huikang, Belleron, Domingos and Camunias.
The 23-year-old Chinese midfielder Cai Huikang was Depor's midfield defensive barrier last season.
The 36-year-old veteran Belleron has been the core of Depor's midfield for many years. This superstar known as the "Spanish Zidane" is still in excellent condition despite his age.
The 22-year-old left midfielder Dominguez is a versatile midfielder. He is a talented midfield star who came out of the Depor youth training camp and has pure Depor blood. He is one of the team's important passers and attackers. His goals and assists were in double figures last season. He is also one of the young players that Yunsheng has carefully trained in the new season.
The 32-year-old Camunhas can also play in various positions in the frontcourt. He often appeared on the right wing last season. This Spanish veteran has played in the Spanish League for many years and has a very stable style of play.
However, the team's midfield combination will change drastically in the new season.
The 33-year-old Riquelme and the 33-year-old Gattuso are the perfect offensive and defensive combination that Yunsheng values very much. Yun Sheng hopes that the two of them can reproduce the effect of Pirlo and Gattuso's combination in Milan and Italy.
The 21-year-old Ronaldo and the 19-year-old Pogba will also be reused. These two young people are the top talented new stars in Europe. If they are not given enough opportunities to play, it will definitely be a waste.
On the forward line, the configuration of four players is sufficient.
The 21-year-old Wu Lei is extremely fast. He will prove himself in La Liga as the top scorer in La Liga.
The 32-year-old Irving and the 31-year-old Berbatov are both experienced world-class forwards. Although their physical fitness is not as good as that of their peak years, their excellent skills and experience will be their magic weapon in La Liga.
The 21-year-old Deportivo youth training star and Portuguese teenager Oliveira was Wu Lei's strike partner last season. This young man is fast and powerful. He scored 13 goals last season and was the team's second scorer. He is also one of Yunsheng's key training targets in the new season.
Looking at the player list in his hand, Yun Sheng was full of expectations.
Guys, I hope you can show your best and give the new season of La Liga a big surprise!
