Mister Legend

Chapter 200 The Crazy Winter Window
Germany's "Transfer Market" valued Sakho at 1000 to 400 million euros, and the FM system gave a higher value of 900 million euros.But since the Liverpool club is blocking players, if they don't sell them, it may bring more disharmony to the team, so according to common sense, the price should be reduced. Li Mudi's psychological upper limit is [-] to [-] million, but this It involves how much money the club can provide him this winter.

Although there is no relevant agreement on the coaching contract, Valentino Cairo has also inquired about the meaning of the club's senior management and even the chairman himself before, but they have not received an accurate response, but based on the club's profitability this year and the players Judging from the team's current results, Li Mudi believes that they will not see their opponents strengthening, while he falls behind in the second half of the season and loses the European qualification that seems to be at hand.You must know that if you can enter the Champions League group stage, you will have a guaranteed income of 3000 million euros, and the Europa League group stage also has various benefits of no less than 1000 million. Who would want to miss it for nothing?It's just that the club didn't make a clear statement for a day, and the team coach couldn't confirm the recruitment work, and it was very likely that some excellent opportunities would be missed. Therefore, at the beginning of this initial meeting, Li Mudi, who was somewhat urgent, used Mamadou Sa Kelai asked to see the opponent's cards.

I saw Pantalio Longo frowning slightly and thinking for more than ten seconds, looking at the Turin coach, and responded in a very calm voice: "This player is not the object of our focus, after all, he was The main force of the giants, but judging from the report given to me by the scouting team a few days ago, Coach Li should have been paying attention to him for a while. Needless to say, his strength is definitely the core of our defense here, but his Is his physique something like a glass person? He is injured for at least one month every year. And the reason why he was banned by the Red Army was that he smoked illegal substances, and later bombarded the club and the head coach. Isn’t it too unprofessional? Now, this kind of undisciplined and depraved idiot doesn't quite fit the team's team-building philosophy."

Seeing that the opponent did not take the bait, Li Modi had no choice but to continue to press: "The team's defense's header ability seriously restricted the further improvement of the results. In the previous games, more than 10% of the goals we conceded were due to the opponent's aerial work. , Now this weakness is well known in Italy, if we can’t make improvements in this area as soon as possible, I think No.[-] is where the Torino team may be in five months later.”

"..." Pantalio Longo, who has a deep understanding of football, is naturally not ignorant of his own strengths and weaknesses. Facing the slightly exaggerated words of the team coach, he will not fully agree with them, but At least they will agree with the other party's judgment that there is still a high chance of becoming a reality.So after contemplating for a long time this time, he still decided to reveal the bottom line of the club. Even though Li Moody may not be able to sign a new contract in a short period of time, at least he will not be dismissed before the summer. I understand.

In terms of lineup adjustment, it is still necessary to refer to the suggestions of the team's head coach. Even if the people represented by Antonio Comey in the high-level do not want to provide funds for the head coach who has been unable to determine the future for a long time, but in the current situation It is not worth the gain to offend the Chinese people who have led the team with good results, won widespread support from fans, and can bring great benefits to the club, so it is not a bad thing to make it clear now. "Even if Liverpool intends to sell the Frenchman, according to my rough estimate, the transfer fee will not be lower than the actual value. After all, according to the current situation, the Red Army has lost 800 million yuan compared to when they bought him back then. And The budget we can come up with is not enough at all, don’t forget the expensive signing fee, annual salary, agent’s favor fee and so on.”

"Then what is the specific amount of funds we can use?" Seeing that the other party finally made a concession rationally, Li Moody finally let go of his heart. It would be too hard if his own people in the club always interfered with his work. Well, intrigue is not my strong point. If I am so distracted, the team's performance will never get better. In the end, both sides will suffer, and no one will benefit.

"Mr. Chairman only had a rough talk with me before, and even Valentino didn't know it. It should be within 600 million, but it does not include other expenses such as wages and signing fees. That is to say, all the money can be used to buy new cars. If it’s not enough, we’ll have to sell some players first to raise money.” This amount of money is indeed a bit too shabby in the current market, but Li Modi, who understands Urbano Cairo’s businessman nature, has already guessed it. There will be pies in the sky. If [-] million euros can be used to update the lineup, then the sun must rise from the west.

However, if you accept it, you still have to show embarrassment and dissatisfaction on the surface. You cannot simply agree to any conditions proposed by the other party. Guinness has emphasized this point before. "This money is really pitifully small! Even the current main players in the Turin team may have more than this price for a single leg. I don't think it makes any difference if the same money is not paid." Li Mudi said Said that he shook his head pretendingly, which also showed that he really couldn't see it.

But who knew that the height of the Tao is one foot and the height of the devil is one foot, Longo immediately took over the conversation and responded: "Since there is no difference in effect, let's save this money and invest in infrastructure, anyway, according to Coach Li's words It's useless to say."

I X!There is such a brazen person who wants to recycle the water thrown out, and Xiang who is pulled out wants to sit back, this is absolutely unethical!The Turin coach was so angry that his eyes widened at that time, and he couldn't say a word.Fortunately, Valentino Cairo, who hadn't spoken since the beginning of the meeting, promptly indicated that the team director was joking, and brought the atmosphere back to the normal track. Otherwise, Li Mudi really wanted to greet him in Chinese dialect. Look at each other.

After getting the specific number of funds that can be used in the winter window, the head coach of the team began to sort out the previous list. After two or three minutes to cross out the players who obviously failed to be introduced, he proposed to several other people in the room. He made his own suggestion: "I am not going to keep the Brazilian central defender Carlo, who is on loan from APOEL. I will return it when the No. 3 window officially opens; What helped the winger Juan Iturbe can also be returned to Roma. I heard him complaining about not getting a chance to play recently. Letting him go can not only eliminate a hidden danger for the locker room, but also reduce the team's insecurity. The burden of salary can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

After Carlo joined the Turin team on loan, he never played in an official game, and the club had to pay his full salary. Since it was completely useless, sending him back to the original team was an inevitable choice; Although Erbe's ability is not bad, in the heart of the team's head coach, he still pays more attention to Falk and Rajajic, who are the official players of the team, and Jesse, who was brought over from Real Madrid, is also an important rotation in the team. The position is very embarrassing.He only played seven games in half a season, including two unimportant Coppa Italia matches, and the total time was only 250 minutes, which was completely marginal.Considering that the Turin club has to pay him a salary of more than 100 million (half a season), this price/performance ratio is too low, so it is understandable for others to send him back to Rome.

However, the director of the club, who is worried that the team's strength will decline, still wants to ask Li Mudi's operation after the purge: "Since the two players staying will not help the team's performance, it is natural to return to the original team. Good choice, but the second half of the season is often a period of high incidence of injuries, losing such a substitute, will it bring hidden dangers to the future formation?"

"Cleaning them is naturally because the team no longer needs those two players, but the position they left can be replaced by a stronger newcomer. In the position of central defender, a player with excellent header ability can be purchased. , is already imminent, since Mamadou Sakho can only miss it because of the transfer fee...and other reasons, then we have to look for another target." The team coach looked at the moment of pause. He glanced at Pantalio Longo, who was always staring at him, and then gave a shocking name again: "Ranocchia, I want to buy the Inter Milan central defender directly."

Andrea Ranocchia (Andrea Ranocchia), born on February 1988, 2 in the province of Perugia in Umbria (Umbria) in central Italy, joined the second division after debuting in the youth training camp of his hometown team Team Arezzo Club, where the outstanding performance has attracted the attention of the Serie A team. In the summer of 16, Genoa first bought half of the ownership of Nokia, and then loaned it to the second-tier team Bari, and he also lived up to expectations, making great contributions to the team's promotion to Serie A for the Serie B championship.In the season that continued to play for Bari, Ranocchia and Bonucci formed a golden partner, which caused headaches for many top scorers in Serie A.

However, just when people thought that a super central defender genius was about to be born, injuries came to the door. When the then national team coach Lippi was preparing to put him in the squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Ranocchia His knee was seriously injured, and he had to recuperate for at least half a year, which made him regretfully lose the opportunity to climb the first peak in his life.However, a contract from Inter Milan gave the young man the confidence to start again. The Nerazzurri used half of the ownership of striker Destro and 1250 million euros in cash to win the man who was hailed by the media as Nesta's successor. The young defender of the people, he also proved his strength with a steady defense time after time, and made important contributions to Inter Milan's consecutive championships.It can be said that if it is not for the frequent injuries, Ranocchia may really become the defense pillar of the Italian national team in the next ten years.

It's a pity that at the beginning of last season, he completely lost his position as the main force in the team due to his state. He was also loaned to Sampdoria during the winter break. Unfortunately, he still couldn't get back the old team in a new environment. peak.After returning to Inter Milan this season, he won the starting qualification in the first round of the game. He was completely abandoned by Frank De Boer because the team lost to Chievo in an upset. Later, Pioli took office and did not give Ranocchia anything. Opportunity, in addition to the chance to play in the Europa League, which is not valued by the club, he only got less than [-] minutes of playing time in the first half of the league, and he was a substitute for the team's substitute.

Although the strength of this player has been widely questioned by the outside world for two or three consecutive seasons, his height of 1.9 meters 2000, his excellent defensive awareness and his first-class header ability are worthy of the Turin team. It's like Optimus Prime on the back line.Moreover, his value has dropped from more than 500 million euros at the peak (the value back then was not as exaggerated as it is now, this figure is already considered very high among defensive players), to 200 million today. His annual salary is only [-] million, and the Turin club can fully meet the requirements of the players. This deal is definitely worth it.

After spending half a minute digesting the shock brought by the team coach, the two club executives in charge of transfer affairs immediately felt that this candidate was really an excellent target, so they nodded and expressed that they could follow up immediately.However, Li Mudi still talked about the little troubles that he could see from the FM system: "As far as I know, Hull City (also translated as Hull City) in the Premier League is also preparing to operate a lease for Nokia, and they are currently deep in the relegation circle. Internally, the number of goals conceded is the most in the entire league, and they are eager for talented defensive players. Considering that Inter Milan's current ranking is still behind us, maybe they will not be willing to help increase the strength of their competitors. It's not easy to talk about!"

Seeing Valentino Cairo's complexion tightened, Li Moody then made another suggestion: "However, we still have certain advantages. The first is the way of introduction. Hull City can only be rented first. After all, Italians come to the UK. To play football, we must first see how well we adapt. But we can buy out directly, which should be a better choice for Inter Milan, which has given up on Nokia. In addition, the player's own wishes are also very important. I think he You probably don’t want to go abroad when you’re about to turn 29, if we can do the work of the players, I believe half of the matter will be settled.”

While saying this, the team coach kept looking at the director of the club. He knew that the success of this signing depends on whether Mr. Chairman approves it or not.And because of Valentino's close relationship with Li Moody, it is already inconvenient to communicate with his father in ordinary business affairs, and at today's meeting, only Longo is the one who will report directly to the chairman.Longo also felt that the signing candidate proposed by his head coach was very reliable, so he promised to report it as soon as possible at this time, and once he got a confirmed reply, he would hurry up and start operating.
