Mister Legend

Chapter 24 Expectations or Extravagant Hopes
Suddenly knowing that he was popular in the sky, Li Mudi was quite surprised at first, but then he couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and laughed until his back molars were exposed.

Looking at this scene, the old man smiled helplessly and shook his head, but when he found that the smirk on the other side didn't seem to stop, he quickly interrupted: "Okay, let's have fun when we get back, let's continue talking now."

Li Mudi, who had regained his composure, turned red all of a sudden, apologized hastily, and then listened carefully to what the old man said.

"As I said just now, the acquisition can basically be settled. You know that I have been engaged in youth training in China for a long time, but our football environment is too different from Spain after all. Although I already have a plan, but I still want to get advice from a professional like you before starting, after all, no one has done this before, so I am still a little nervous."

Faced with such an old man who has dedicated his whole life to China's football cause, Li Mudi was very moved and hoped to contribute a little bit, so after a little politeness, he expressed his thoughts on football development, Ideas and dissatisfaction with the Tianchao football circle, all poured out to the old coach.

Before time travel, Li Mudi was just an ordinary fan, like the majority of China fans, always saying things like being completely disappointed with China football and never paying attention to them again.The daily state is just one word - curse!Scold the Football Association, scold the coach, scold the players.But whenever there are Chinese football games and news, I will pay attention to them as if I can't control myself. As the saying goes, as much as love, so much hate.But no matter how much you scold, you can't change the deteriorating situation of Tianchao football.

While talking, Li Mudi, who had completely turned into complaining or even cursing, found that the old man's smile had disappeared from his face, and he frowned tightly, thinking.

Not knowing what was going on in his mind, Li Mudi guessed at this moment that his complaint just now either dissatisfied the old man, or touched him in some way.

This year has been the No.15 year since Director Xu founded the football base. Before that, he devoted all his efforts and vowed to build the Shanghai East Asia of Manchester United, and he has indeed achieved certain results in the training of young players.But with the advent of the crazy money-burning era of Chinese football, Shanghai East Asia was gradually acquired by SIPG. The youth training system he once built was defeated by waving checks. Years of hard work.Who would know how he felt when he voluntarily left the team he built brick by brick?

In the conversation just now, the old coach said that he started again and established a new Shanghai Chongming Genbao Football Club in July this year, intending to carry out the training of young players to the end.

After a short silence, the two started a new topic about the acquisition of the Spanish football school.

"I think it was too narrow to do youth training in China behind closed doors, and there was no way out." When it came to the topic of football bases, the domineering coach who galloped the field back then seemed to be back. It is one of the most leading players in the world. I have been thinking about whether I can send elite players from Chongming and even China to the Spanish base, and use their advanced concepts and technologies to help domestic players break through inherent limitations. Just before leading the team to The city of Lorca participated in the competition and discovered this opportunity. There is not only a football team in the Second Division B League, but also a football school with 1200 students. I was thinking about this at the time, and I will prepare for it in the past two years I came here later, this may become our own "La Masia"! I also hope that this team can play in La Liga or even La Liga in the future, so as to provide us with a better training platform for training young players. "

I can’t count the number of times I was shocked today, but Li Mudi was still shocked by the old coach’s love and dedication to Tianchao football. What a great character this is!But thinking about it the other way around, there are still a lot of dedicated football players like the old coach in China, but under such circumstances, Tianchao football is still in such a half-dead state, those people who have been dragging their feet are so hateful and damned !

Afterwards, Li Mudi combined the football knowledge he had learned in Spain to interpret some of the rules and concepts here for the old coach, and recommended several club managers and coaches to him. Of course, they were all instantly searched through the FM system.

This conversation lasted about two hours. When we parted, the boss thanked Li Mudi solemnly and sincerely hoped that we could strengthen our relationship.Li Moody once again expressed his admiration for the old coach, and at the same time promised to do his best to help the football team and school to be acquired.

On the taxi back to the apartment, when I checked the information, I found that the respect value of the old man had soared to 30, but Li Modi was not excited, and kept thinking about the conversation just now.

Acquiring a club, I really didn't expect it at all!Foreigners can buy Spanish teams, so as a Spaniard, can I also own a team of my own?

This idea popped up suddenly, and it was firmly in my mind, unable to shake it off.And with the emergence of this idea, Li Mudi's heartbeat became faster and faster, his temples and palms began to sweat gradually, and he felt an impulse that was about to be uncontrollable.He quickly took a few deep breaths and adjusted his sitting posture, causing the driver to glance through the rearview mirror.

After calming down for a while, Li Modi called up the FM system and searched for Lorca. Seven or eight teams related to this name appeared, excluding those semi-professional teams and a few teams still participating in the amateur league. There are three left.

The first team is Real Murcia Club de Fútbol, ​​which is currently playing in La Liga. Fans who are familiar with La Liga may have some impressions of it. They have played in La Liga many times and are the most famous football team in this region. Director Xu is sure There is no strength to buy it.

The second team is called Lorca Atletico CF (Lorca Atletico CF), which is currently playing in the Spanish C League.But Li Mudi remembered that the news at the end of 16 years and the beginning of 17 said that Xu Gengbao's team was going to be promoted to West Second Division, which meant that the team was participating in West Second Division B in the 16-17 season, and it was not mentioned before. They were promoted from West C last season, that is to say, in the 15-16 season, they should also be in West B.

Then the team that the coach wants to buy is most likely the last one-LaHoya Lorca CF, which is currently participating in the 4th group of the Western Second Division B League.Li Mudi checked the information provided by FM: the ratings of various facilities are very low, and the youth training facilities and youth training coaches are only 2 (full value 20), and the estimate given is 90 euros.But if you want to buy it, the price may not be enough. If you add the football school with 1200 people, it will cost more than 250 million euros.And if you want to buy a team with good facilities (at least around 8), you can find a few through the system, the cheapest of which is estimated at 600 million euros, and the actual transaction price will be more .

After predicting the price, Li Modi carefully calculated his current financial situation: he had less than 90 euros in deposits in the bank, which was a difference of 600 million from 510 million. Based on the current after-tax annual salary of 15, he did not eat or drink 34 That's enough for a year... It seems that owning your own team is an extravagant wish!

Back at the coach's apartment, lying on the bed but not feeling sleepy at all, this crazy idea has been eroding Li Mudi's nerves, a person with a heavy heart can't afford to be hurt!

On the second day, Li Modi, who had dark circles under his eyes, came to the training ground. After completely leaving the work to other coaches, he sat under the sun umbrella on the long side and dozed off with his shoulders in his arms.I don't know which fan outside the field took a picture and contributed to the update of the emoticon package.

On Saturday, September 9, due to their excellent record, Castilla's home game against SD Leioa in the sixth round of the Spanish Second Division B League was broadcast live on Madrid TV.

The game officially started at 20:00 in the evening.

The home team's starting lineup is: goalkeeper Yanez, right back Forlan, center backs Hector and Leon, left back Tejero, center midfielders Odegaard and Fabas, midfielder Enzo, right winger Alvaro , left winger pull left, center Mbappe.

Leoya's performance in the first five rounds of the league was not good, with only 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. Today's away game against the leaders is even more cautious, with a 4-5-1 formation, and the intention to strengthen defense is very obvious.Forward Jon Etxaniz is a traditional center forward, with a height of 187cm and a weight of 82kg. He has excellent header, strength and jumping, and can be ranked in the top ten in the third pole league.Therefore, their offensive method is mainly aerial bombing. Using this high point, it is best to directly compete for the cross. If it does not work, they can also ferry to the inserted midfielder.

Castilla's two starting central defenders are slightly inferior to Etsaniz in their header ability, and their physical strength is even more incomparable, so they were confused by the visiting team's header attack in the opening stage.However, the three tricks in the opening game failed to make a sneak attack, and Leoya immediately retreated as a whole, using the advantage of numbers to block Castilla's pass and control tactics.

After finding that the midfield possession was not going well, Castilla moved the possession area back in an attempt to lure the opponent to press forward.But Leoya's players have good tactical skills, and they don't easily overwhelm the half-court. Occasionally, someone makes a mistake and fouls immediately, preventing Castilla from cooperating.

It was the first time that he met a team with such a thorough bus arrangement, and Li Moody didn't have much to do. He could only make everyone more patient and constantly test the opponent's defensive formation.

It continued like this until the end of halftime, 0-0, the home team had 78% possession of the ball, but there were only 2 shots and no chance.

During the intermission, Li Mudi complained to Benitez in his heart.In order to prepare for tomorrow's La Liga game, Bei Shuai transferred Mariano to the first team, leaving Li Moody, who urgently needs to change his tactics, no one to replace.Faced with the opponent's siege and suppression of ground coordination, if Mariano can be replaced, he can switch to the coordination of crossing from the wing. Seeing the physical condition of the opponent's defense, Li Moody feels that if Mariano is there, he can take them all. Overturned, the current Mbappe is only 16 years old after all, and has not yet matured.

Let everyone pay attention to the opponent's attack in the opening stage, and after arranging to strengthen long-range shots and targeting several players with yellow cards on the opponent, the second half of the game began.

The entanglement between the two sides lasted until 74 minutes. Cedres, who came off the bench, broke through and caused Leoia defender Delgado to get a second yellow card and was sent off.The visiting team, who played one player less, was hit after 3 minutes. The central defender Carlo strained his thigh while running.

In the next ten minutes or so, Castilla won 3-0 thanks to goals from Mbappe, Enzo and Hector.

After the game, Li Mudi highly praised Leo Ya, thinking that their tactical quality is very high, and there is a lot of luck in losing the game.

The next day's newspapers focused on the French teenager Mbappe, "Henry II" played 5 times in the league, but scored an amazing 9 goals. This efficiency is no one!Almost all the media are calling on Benitez to transfer him to the first team, thinking that he has no value in training in West Division B.
