Chapter 43: Bad News Arrives
After welcoming Ayala and Zanetti on behalf of the club, Chen Lin immediately asked the club's support staff to arrange a player's apartment for the two and assigned Sabia to the two as life assistants. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chen Lin will simply be happy from the heart, and anyone who gets such two outstanding players will also be sincerely excited. Both had the same CA/PA at 126/179. Although the potential value is not at the level of a world superstar, it is also the top world-class star. And the CA ability value is enough to sweep in the C 1 League, in fact, most players in Serie B are only about 120 ability points.
However, just when Chen Lin was full of ambition and looking forward to next season, a bad news suddenly struck and caught him completely off guard.
Prato head coach, Stefano. Cuoko suddenly fainted while washing at home this morning, and his family took him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with lymphoma.
Chen Lin hurried to the hospital and saw Cuoko and his family in the intensive care unit, at this time Cuoko had already woken up, but his originally gentle and elegant face looked pale and haggard, and he seemed to be many years old all of a sudden, like an old man in his last years, you must know that he is only forty years old this year.
Chen Lin blamed himself a little, he originally studied the Prato team on the computer, and found that Tsoko did not continue to coach after leading Prato to the runner-up of the second league in the 92/93 season, and he thought that Tsoko went to a new team at a higher level, so he did not dig deeper. I didn't expect the truth to be ......
Chen Lin sat in front of Tsoko's hospital bed, not knowing what to say for a while, it came too suddenly, last night he and Tsoko also discussed the team lineup for next season and the players that could be bought, and did not drive out of the office until about ten o'clock in the evening, or Tsoko sent him home.
"Take care of your illness!" Chen Lin patted Cuoke's hand: "Don't think about money, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, we will definitely cure you." ”
Tsoko smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, boss, I'm still reluctant to play the Prato club, but you should go to find a new coach, the team still needs to run in before the season starts." ”
"Maybe let Bucilini replace you for a while first......" Chen Lin had a look of embarrassment on his face.
Tsoko shook his head, "Before you came, Umberto had already come to see me, I asked him what he meant, and he said that he was not up to the task, and I also thought he was not suitable for the position of head coach. Amberto is a good assistant, patient, cautious and meticulous, but he is too careful, lacks the decisiveness and mental capacity to be a manager, if it is in the middle of the season, it can't be helped, now we still have time to ......"
"In that case......" Chen Lin didn't say it after all.
However, Tsoko understood what he meant, and closed his eyelids slightly: "Everything is for the team!" ”
Then he seemed to be firming up his convictions, muttering, "I'm not going to leave the team's ......."
In order not to disturb Cuoke's recuperation, Chen Lin did not want to stay in the ward for a long time, and he finally asked Cuoke about his suggestions for the transfer work.
Cuoko silently recalled for a while, and said: "Originally, there were two good seedlings in the academy, one striker, who could also play as a left winger, with very good explosiveness, ball control and shooting ability, and the other was a fullback, both left and right, that young man was very diligent and had very solid basic skills." Unfortunately, Prato was in the fourth tier at the time, and they were eventually signed by Empoli. ”
Chen Lin probably knows why, before the 90s, several low-level clubs in Tuscany such as Prato, Empoli, and Pisa, because these cities are very close to each other, their under-15 echelons are actually entrusted to Pomigliano Football School to train on their behalf, that is to say, Pomigliano Football School produces good players, and several clubs can go to pick people. Pomigliano Football School is located in the small town of Pomiliano on the border of Tuscany and the southern Campania region, which is famous in southern Italy and even the whole country, and many parents from all over the country send their children here every year to learn football, and even Florence once signed a contract with Pomigliano.
Then Cuoko said the names of the two players, and Chen Lin suddenly realized in his heart that Empoli had indeed produced a lot of talents in this era. Then, Chen Lin comforted Cuoke again and left the ward. Seeing Vieri, Materazzi, Toldo and other tall figures walking over, looking at Vieri's bear figure holding a bouquet of small flowers, how could he feel very funny, but Chen Lin's heart was very warm, how could he hope that his team was a humane team, not a sand castle built up by money and fame.
After returning to the club, Chen Lin asked Pugli to send someone to collect information on Empoli's two players, and asked Colvesi to tentatively ask Empoli about an offer. Then he closed the door, pulled out the magic computer from a nondescript safe, and began to look up the two players recommended by Shotsoko.
Vincenzo. Montella, probably one of the best goalscorers in the history of Empoli, can shoot from any angle in the penalty area, his footwork is extremely exquisite, and he is extremely capable of dribbling the ball within 40 meters of the goal, and is known as "gliding" and "little plane". He is a very efficient goalkeeper in his career, but he seems to be less physical, relying more on his keen sense of smell in front of goal and scoring with the ball himself. Legend has it that Montella's initial position on the pitch was the goalkeeper, but the coach soon discovered the momentum in the bones of this short boy, because it was only a junior team game, the limitation of the position was not so big, in a game Montella's team was never able to get past the opponent's defense, in a hurry, as the goalkeeper Montella took the ball from his own goal, and shot after passing all the players of the opposing team. The coach sitting on the sidelines was stunned, and from then on, Montella changed from a goalkeeper to a striker, and this was the birth of the "little plane".
Alejandro. Billindelly, who has been selected for the Italian national team in history, can perfectly play as a full-back on the left and right, with a simple and unpretentious style of play, a low-key and hard-working person, and is the cornerstone of the team. Maybe it's hard to see where he shines when the team is popular, but when the team is in trouble and low, he always sticks to the bottom line of the team's level. Juventus were relegated to the second division after the callgate scandal in 2006, and as many players left, Billindelly, an Italian international, chose to stay with the team that brought him glory. In the 06-07 season, Billindelli was a regular in helping Juventus win the second division title and return to Serie A, and his loyalty and work ethic were respected even by his opponents.
The arrival of Montella can solve the problem of Prato's forward bench very well, and even using him to play as a substitute for Yang Chen is a bit of a luxury. And Billindelli can also solve the problem of the lack of rotation of Prato fullbacks, although Pesoto and Zanetti are not able to run to death, but it is inevitable that there will be injuries and cards, Chen Lin has been fed up with the grievances of the Prato league level is too low, otherwise in the C division for a few years, these "calves" in the team will be looted by the major giants, so this season must ensure that nothing is lost to the second division.
