Chapter Seventy-Three: Transfer Funds
Updated: 2013-03-25
After the end of the season, Dick hasn't had time to see what the rewards will be after the end of the season - first a contract extension, then participation in the show, and finally pickle girls...... He didn't have time to settle down on what the rewards were, and he had used all of last season's rewards, and Dick was happy with that, because he felt that he had used all the good steel on the blade, not on the handle. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
After returning to his apartment, and after saying hello to Mr. Franco, Dick went back to his room and closed the curtains so that no reporter was spying on him with some kind of high-tech camera......
Although Dick may not have such appeal now, Dick should also be careful, a manager who will use some mysterious powers...... I'm afraid that if it spreads, it will cause a backlash from the entire European football community......
After closing the curtains, Dick sat down and focused on the ring.
Soon a row of cards began to fly in front of Dick, and then a voice flashed in Dick's head: "End of season...... Earn Season Rewards...... Fifteen advanced goal cards, one intermediate transfer fund add-on card, two advanced healing cards, two advanced target cards, and two advanced scout cards! β
"Fifteen advanced goal cards, that's fifteen goals...... Dick laughed inwardly, it was clear that Dick had done a good job last season, increasing his goal card rewards by five, as for the rest......
The Intermediate Transfer Funds Add-on Card allows clubs to add $5 million to their transfer funds for the new season, which will be automatically used until the transfer funds are available.
"Well, that means I can have more money to buy people...... The intermediate is five million? How much will that be high-level? Dick thought as he watched.
Two advanced healing cards, which can be designated for use on the injured in the team, and one can reduce the recovery period of the injured person by two weeks, and cannot be used together.
"That's a good one, and if an important player gets injured in the middle of the season, it can make a big difference."
Two advanced target cards, used during the transfer period, if you don't find a suitable target, the goal card will tell you in which league there will be such a suitable transfer partner.
"Well, it's half a scouting tool."
Two advanced scout cards that can be used to know the current ability and development potential of the target player, as well as the psychological value of the player by the club that owns the player.
"Wow, this thing is very useful, especially when buying someone, knowing whether the other party is likely to sell him is a great help to the transfer!"
If Dick is just an ordinary manager of a La Liga team, this kind of card is of little use to him, because most of the managers of La Liga do not have the power to meddle in transfers, but Dick now has all the power to control transfers! In this case, the role of such a card is invaluable......
If you can buy more suitable players, you can save more transfer funds and use them on other players, and the stronger the team, the better Dick will be in commanding the team.
After reading all the cards, Dick put them away, the goal card and the healing card are used after the start of the season, and the transfer fund add-on card is used automatically, that is, how to make better use of the two target cards and the two scout cards during the transfer period will be his next job.
Dick certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to use up these key cards right away, players who could be bought by normal means would waste such cards, the target cards would be used when he couldn't find the right person to replenish the team, and the scout cards would be used when he was in trouble digging for his favorite candidates......
Before that, you have to think about what players are leaving, what players will stay, what kind of players you want to bring in, and after you are ready to do so, after the club's transfer funds are down, you can only operate the transfer of players.
At the same time, it is not necessarily that if you want a player to stay, he will stay, and if you want a player to leave, he will leave, and the player's autonomy is not small now.
After the end of the season, there are several substitutes who have proposed to leave, and Dick doesn't care about the players who don't remember much about these names, in fact, this Atletico Madrid, he is ready to keep half of the people at most, and the others need to replace new blood, so that the players they bring can be better commanded.
On the forward line, the departure of Kiko and Larding is no secret, Kiko had a conversation with the chairman of the old Hill, and then announced that he would terminate the contract peacefully with Atletico Madrid, after this news came out, Atletico Madrid's fans were a little gloomy, but after two months of buffering, everyone seems to begin to feel that Kiko's days at Atletico Madrid have indeed come to an end, at least Atletico Madrid does not need him now......
Larding has never shown his level after a high-priced transfer to Atletico Madrid, whether it is under Dick, or under Antich, Ranieri and Sacchi before, whether he has a chance or no chance, he has not performed well, such a former genius is now about to be ignored, last season Atletico Madrid had planned to put him in the transfer market, but no one wanted it, this year his contract has expired, where to go, it has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.
Uruguayan striker Correa has been mediocre at Atletico, but Dick doesn't plan to clean up the forward line too much, if he is willing to stay and accept the substitute position, Dick doesn't care about leaving him a place in the front line, the Uruguayan's ability is still good, and there is no problem to play as a substitute.
As for Hasselbaink...... His situation is a little more complicated, he has only been here for a year, he has performed well, he has scored a lot of goals, it is not a problem to say that he stays, the key is that Dick does not particularly appreciate his style of play, and Hasselbaink himself is not worried about where to go, he has no loyalty to Atletico Madrid, if there is a better treatment to invite him, then it is not uncommon for him to leave.
In other words, at least two of the four strikers will go, maybe all of them, and Dick's new season will definitely have huge changes in the forward line.
'Is Torres transferred to the first team? It shouldn't be too early, it may not be for him to play the main force, the main substitute for the play is still okay, train it well, this kid will shine sooner or later. However, if Hasselbaink leaves, he will have to find a striker who can score goals. β
In terms of midfield, Dick used five midfielders last season, but that was only a temporary approach, four midfielders or even three midfielders he would also use, and Atletico Madrid's goal in the new season could not be just relegation, and it was imperative to use a set of tactics that could win the game.
Although Dick led the team to a winning record last season, there is a certain element of luck in this record - think of Dick's use of six goal cards and a fall card that is no different from the goal card in eight games, because there are not many games left, Dick will use it so fiercely in the game, and there are more games in the new season, and Dick can't always rely on cards to mess around, at this time it depends on the overall level of the team and Dick's tactical arrangement.
To talk about the midfield, it can be regarded as the strongest link of Atletico Madrid, Solari, Leal, Juninho, Belleron, Brenovich, Beybur are all internationals, Baraja and Serena are not internationals, but they also have international-level strength, if there is no large-scale departure, the midfield is not a lot to add.
On the back line, it is to make Dick a little spared, the main lineup has not changed much, Capdevilla, Aguilera, Gamara are all trustworthy objects, Chamot seems to have the intention of leaving, it is not too difficult to add an excellent central defender, but the substitutes are lackluster, the old guys who are going to retire this time are all in the back line, only one Sandy is still sticking to it, even if you don't buy excellent central defenders, you have to buy a few better substitute defenders.
In the goalkeeper position, Molinadik does not want to let go, and Toney, as a former national goalkeeper, is naturally unhappy as a substitute.
A substitute goalkeeper, at least one excellent main central defender, a few substitute defenders, a top scoring striker, this is the link that Dick must strengthen, and the midfield depends on whether there are more people leaving, but if there is extra money, an excellent midfielder, two better wings, is what the team needs to have.
"Coming to a new team is really a lot of headaches......
After making a list of the players available in Atletico's first and second teams, Dick rubbed his temples and sighed a little tiredly, the next thing he had to do was to set his goal first......
"I don't know how much transfer money will be this season...... The team didn't invest much in the transfer market last season, Hasselbaink spent a lot of money on them, and the old Hill was having a headache because of his own lawsuit at the time, so it should be a little more this season. Dick thought to himself.
Dick was right.
Last season, Atletico Madrid's recruitment was ordinary, bringing back Ponovic, who had been loaned to them from Mallorca, bringing in Solari from River Plate for five million dollars, Baraja was promoted from the second team without spending money, Capdevilla only spent one million dollars on them from Espanyol, Gamara was only worth one million dollars, and the biggest investment was the fifteen million dollars spent on Hasselbaink, and the total expenditure was more than 20 million dollars.
The main reason for this is that Old Hill was entangled in lawsuits at the time, so that the investment in the transfer was not large, and now Old Hill has finally gotten rid of the troubles of the lawsuit, and also wants to wash away the previous bad luck through a large investment.
"Di, I have good news for you...... There will be a limit of $45 million in transfer funds this season, which is not particularly much, but it is the most money that can be taken out now, after all, the club did not make enough money last season. By the way, if there is a player who wants to transfer away, then you can also use all the funds you earn, and all the transfer funds are in a dedicated account, only you can use it, I hope you can build a stronger team! β
"No problem, boss, I will definitely complete this task!" Dick shouted into the phone.
"By the way, we were only going to have a transfer fee of 40 million, but after discussing it, we added 5 million...... If I can get into the Champions Cup next season, I think the transfer fee will be more. Old Hill said with a smile before hanging up.
Dick put down the phone, then smiled.
Forty-five million...... Although it is not enough to buy a Figo, if you use it well, it is not too difficult to make Atletico Madrid's strength jump to a higher level!
