Mister Legend

Chapter 264 Plan ahead

Counting it, this is the first time Li Moody has adjusted the position of players in the real football world. In the previous ten years of football manager game career, he rarely did such things. It's just the premise of the full-back, such as letting Robert Carlos play the full-back in the distant CM4 era.Compared with time-consuming and labor-intensive transformations with unknown effects, he still believes in the best roles determined by professional coaches after analyzing the technical ability of the players when they are very young.

There are many examples in football of an ordinary player becoming a star or even a superstar after changing his position, but most of them have changed in their youth, and the rest are full-back premise like Bell, or defensive line The slight swap, the conversion of the defensive midfielder and the central defender and the like.To say that a full-back in his 20s suddenly turned into a center forward who scored as many goals as possible would be a fantasy. Although I dare not say absolutely, the possibility is indeed infinitely small.

So is it easy to transform from a center forward who grabs points in front of the goal to a winger who combines ball movement more frequently?The answer may not make the Turin coaching staff feel relaxed.There was an extremely successful example of reverse conversion: Henry, the king of Highbury, practiced dribbling and instantaneous judgment of the situation in the frontcourt and sideways since he was a child, which helped him become the striker with the largest attacking area before the club king .The classic shots of going straight to Huanglong from his own half can explain why when the ball appears at the feet of this kind of person, no matter which area the other person is in, the opponent will be frightened.

But the reverse is quite difficult. It is hard to imagine how outstanding goal finishers like Inzaghi and Lewandowski will behave when they are pulled down the wing.Even Shevchenko, whose dribbling skills and speed are among the top in the world, played in a mess when he appeared as a winger after joining Chelsea. He was wronged by the world and became a parallel importer, which indirectly led to the fall of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead.

Boyer's ability is naturally far behind that of Sheva, but fortunately he still has two advantages. One is the young Argentine who has just passed his 21st birthday. Practice to make adjustments; moreover, the technical characteristics mentioned before, dribbling and speed are good, and the willingness to defend is still outstanding. If you can develop physical strength and endurance, you will indeed be a replica of Dirk. This type of winger is very rare in the entire world of football, and he will definitely find opportunities to realize his own value.

However, this adjustment needs enough time. Li Mudi didn't want to and didn't have the time to put all his energy on this matter, so he handed over the transformation task to offensive coach De Rio, and Scholes would help him from the sidelines. to assist.At the beginning of Friday morning, after handing over the day's practice content to the assistant coach, the Turin coach left the training ground and went directly to the conference room on the other side of the building. The task is not too important to meet with Valentino Cairo to study the work on the summer transfer.

Due to the existence of the Bosman rule, the club can contact those players whose contracts with the original club are about to expire six months in advance to discuss free transfers.Judging from the signing time of the contract, between January 1st and June 1th of each year is the stage when related negotiations and news are concentrated. The Turin Club and the team's head coach Li Moody, who has always been good at "diligent and thrifty housekeeping", naturally I will not give up this great opportunity to buy bottoms.As early as the end of the winter window, Pantario Longo, the director in charge of personnel work, and Valentino, the director of the marketing department, began to frequently attack to find suitable targets. Today's meeting is to bring together their respective situations. Find out who is worth following up with.

Due to the departure of the former football director Page, the current Turin club has not set up this position, so the transfer power that should have been controlled by the person in this position was divided equally between Valentino and Longo. Personally, this situation is indeed relatively rare.It is inevitable that there will be friction and even conflicts if two people do a job, but Valentino's status as the prince of Turin still minimizes the possible problems between the two parties.In addition, the two people usually pay attention to communication and make the division of labor very clear, so there is no harm to unity for the time being.

This meeting is not a very formal one, so there are no assistants around, just three people get together to exchange information, and everything is kept simple.Longo first took out his own list and gave a rough overview of the latest situation: "There is almost nothing to discuss with Juventus. After Chuang joined Marseille for free, the right back Brazilian Alves was completely useless. Even if I was willing to offer the highest annual salary of 400 million before tax, he failed to impress him. According to his agent, the former Barcelona defender has reached a verbal agreement with Paris. The agreement is made, and I will join the Ligue [-] giants in the summer. The remaining Brazilian goalkeeper Neto and Spanish teenager Lirola didn’t give me a chance to speak, so they refused directly, but they are willing to start a deal for Venezuelan international Thomas Rincon.”

Ghanaian international Akuwa has made a lot of progress this season, but affected by the team's style of play, the player's growing ability seems to be concentrated on the offensive side, and the defensive end has basically stagnated.Coupled with Las Diarra, who is considered an all-around midfielder, the Turin team really lacks a full-time midfielder to grab the ball, and Rincon, who is just 29 years old and at the peak of his player career, has 19 Marking and stealing ability of 18, dribbling and passing ability are also 14, except for the weaknesses of poor defensive position, slow speed and too short stature (175 cm), he is definitely a super beast waist , Of course, the aggressiveness as high as 19 is also a hidden danger. The card taking rate should create a new record in the club's history.

However, considering only the player's defensive ability, combined with his current situation in Juventus, his asking price is only about 700 million, which is still very cost-effective.After careful consideration for a while, the Turin coach still has not made up his mind to win. He feels that there are currently two strong midfielders in the team, and the need for Lin Kong is not so urgent. , if the price can be reduced to less than 400 million, then it's okay, otherwise it's better to procrastinate.The club's transfer budget for next season has not yet been made, and now it only has 2000 million from the new sponsors of China, and has already spent 400 million on Lianke, and the money still needs to be used wisely.

After the three people confirmed the decision, Longo continued to introduce the domestic situation in Italy that he is good at: "Let's look at the Milan duo again. At present, it seems that the Chinese consortium behind them is ready to start exerting their strength. It can be expected from various signs. Now, this summer, the two Milan teams are likely to undergo a big change, and Coach Li’s compatriots are really local tyrants!" While speaking, he shook his head pretentiously, which made Li Mudi quite helpless.

"AC Milan still does not forget Andre every year. Their director Mira Bailey called me the day before yesterday and wanted to pack Polly and Kuzka to us. If Watford doesn't If the buyout clause of French winger Niang is triggered, it can also be added to the transaction. The other party’s valuations for these three players are 600 million, 800 million and 1000 million respectively, which are all lower than their immediate worth. This player worth 2500 million is worth 5000 million euros in exchange for Belotti. I contacted Mr. Chairman immediately, and the result is self-evident. However, it is not difficult to understand from Mirabelli’s words, These three players are no longer in their plans, if we have ideas, we can take advantage of other teams before they react."

"Kutzka and Niang are not suitable for the team's style. I don't want to give it to me for free, unless the wages are all free, then I can still consider it. As for Polly, it is still useful, but only As a substitute for Baselli and Benassi, it is better to use him than to use Maximilian or dig someone from his own youth training camp. Forget the membership fee." This time there is no need to waste time thinking, Li Mudi directly refused.

"What about Japanese midfielder Keisuke Honda? His contract will expire in the summer. AC Milan has already said that it will not renew his contract. We can get him for free."

"His current annual salary is 435 million euros before tax. If he joins Turin as a free agent, will he agree to a salary cut? Moreover, this player has not performed well after joining Serie A, and he has completely dropped out this season." Rotating the lineup, his strength has declined too quickly, and he is no longer able to play for the strong teams in the five major leagues. Signing him is a waste of money." Regarding Honda's views, the Turin coach did not entrain the Chinese people's special sentiments towards the Japanese , just telling the most real situation realistically.

However, he does not completely despise the players of the Rossoneri. There is one person who has been gradually forgotten by him: "Donnarumma hasn't renewed his contract yet, right? Can we have a chance?"

Longo flipped through the information in his hand, and quickly replied: "Yes, the contract has not been renewed. The current contract was signed in the summer of 2015 and will end in the summer of 2018. The annual salary is 150 million before tax. The news that Donnarumma wants to leave has already begun to circulate. Real Madrid shifted their target to him after failing to forcefully buy De Gea last year. Juventus also reported that they want to introduce him to succeed him, which is likely to be next season. Buffon retired after that. In addition, many other giants are also paying attention to this young goalkeeper with unlimited potential. Our small team with no money and no prestige should stop delusional and spend time on other goalkeepers body."

Although I always knew that I was just holding on to winning the lottery and wanted to keep a glimmer of hope, the facts still told the Turin coach mercilessly that the chances of a toad eating swan meat were even higher than that of Turin winning the active successor. After Feng, Neuer and Casillas, the fourth goalkeeper with a potential value of more than 185 is big, and he is so young that he has almost locked this position in the top three positions in the world for at least ten years in the future. Everyone will be jealous!

Li Mudi, who was not very interested, shook his head slightly, indicating that Longo could continue the following content, and the latter began to introduce the situation of another Milan team: "Inter Milan's operating momentum in the summer does not seem to be inferior to that of the rivals in the same city. How much, as far as I know, they are contacting Spalletti of the Roma team. Although Pioli has performed extremely well since taking over the team at the end of October last year, Inter Milan has gradually fallen behind in the last five rounds with 2 draws and 3 losses Yes, the pursuit of European qualification for the whole season is almost hopeless. No wonder the top management of the club will make a decision not to retain the current coach at this time. Whether or not Spalletti takes over the Nerazzurri coach, the team's The lineup is very likely to undergo major changes, and I think this will provide us with a good opportunity for Taobao.”

After the introduction, the director of Turin turned his attention to the head coach of the team, waiting for the latter's response.

Li Mudi looked through the list of players handed over by the other party before, and began to analyze it with the FM system in his head. Since he had prepared before, he quickly gave his answer: "I want to say that I am the most optimistic about their team. The player, of course, is the Brazilian striker Gabriel Barbosa. He combines speed and technology so well before he is 21 years old. The future is limitless! It can just make up for the lack of winger position in our team, but it is not enough. I know if I can succeed."

Hearing the name from the team coach, Valentino Cairo and Longo were both happy, and the former even joked: "No wonder someone now makes you the second professor! You are really a Shotacon just likes to bring in young players, and if you meet a good guy, you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t buy them.”

"Go! What is this called? Which coach would not want to recruit young players with extremely high potential and talent? This is all human nature! Besides, I am also considering the club's financial situation. Yes, just the amount of money I have right now... about 1600 million, plus the part that may be supplemented in the summer, I guess the total will not exceed 3000 million, is it enough to buy which big-name team? At present, we still need to strengthen the position of goalkeeper, central defender, winger or center forward. Players who can help us go further in the standings next season, judging from the current market, not having two to 3000 million is almost impossible. It's possible, what can I do if I don't think about those Zhengtai who may grow up rapidly?"

After taking a breath, Li Moody continued: "Do you think Wenger likes to train new players so much? If it weren't for the fact that Arsenal's financial situation was so bad in those years, only a fool would let go of stars who have proven themselves. Instead, I want to gamble with pieces of raw jade. This thing is like gambling with stones. Who knows which stones have emeralds in them and which ones have no farts? Isn’t this all forced by money!”
