Chapter 032: Scouting (Urgently Seeking Recommendation Votes, Seeking Collection)
Dieter. Fischer, a scout for Swiss Superliga giants Basel, was on a trip to spy on Chievo's Italian striker Paroski.
Basel is a veteran of the Swiss Super League and are currently in the Champions League group stage with Premier League giants Manchester United, Benfica and Galatz Steel.
At present, after three rounds of group stage matches, Basel has one win, one draw and one loss, with 4 points, ranking behind Manchester United, who has 5 points with one win, two draws, and still has the hope of advancing to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
However, the captain of the team, the thirty-two-year-old veteran Alexander. Frey's recent minor injuries are a huge problem for Basel's attacking line, so Basel wants to bring in a goalscorer during the winter break to serve as a backup for Frei, just in case.
Chievo's Italian striker Paroski, the talented striker from the AC Milan Academy, was hailed as Inzaghi's successor after his debut.
Although Parowski's development trajectory did not meet people's expectations, after several seasons of grinding, he began to have a relatively consistent performance and goal output, which also attracted people's attention again.
Dieter. Fischer is here to scout Paroschi today, and if the Italian striker can perform well against a strong team like Napoli, Basel will consider bringing in the 'Inzaghi successor'.
……
The ninety minutes were over quickly, and the scoreline on the electronic scoreboard at the Stadio San Paolo in Napoli was blinding: 5-0!
The home team, Napoli, staged a carnage.
Dieter. Fischer lifted the frame of his eyeglasses, looked at the few records in his notebook, and shook his head slightly.
In today's game, Parowski's performance was really difficult to satisfy him, and the Italian striker did not make him feel bright.
Dieter. Fischer wrote in his notebook earnestly: disappointing, to be observed.
He closed his notebook, fastened his scarf, glanced around at the Napoli fans who were frantically celebrating the team's victory, and quietly disappeared into the crowd and left the crazy stadium.
……
Return to the hotel.
Hurriedly ate some supper, Dieter. Fischer was busy in front of his laptop.
His phone rang.
It was the manager of the Basel club, Kent. Hassler called.
"Good evening, Dieter, I hope it didn't disturb your rest." Hasler said.
"Kent, good evening." Fischer smiled, "You know I'm still busy at this point, well, I know you're going to ask the Italian shooter how he is doing, and I'm about to call you." ”
"It doesn't sound like you're satisfied." Hasler said.
"Yes, judging from the games I've watched, Paroschi may have some quality, but the performance has been inconsistent, I'm afraid we need to consider other candidates, of course, I will continue to pay attention to him." Fischer said.
……
"Since he hasn't been able to impress you, it seems that there is no need for us to continue to pay attention to the Italians." Hasler was silent for a moment and said.
"Is something wrong?" Fischer asked.
"Yes, we tried to ask Chievo about Paroski and they asked for 7 million euros." Hasler said.
"Oh God, are Italians crazy poor?" Fischer shouted, let alone 7 million euros, even if you remove half, 4 million euros, Basel will not pay.
Basel is a Swiss super giant, but their financial resources can not be compared with the teams of the mainstream European leagues, in fact, Basel rarely has more than 5 million euros in the transfer market, and they are known for selling stars to make money, although it is not as black as Porto, but the players produced by Basel are also of high quality, for example, in 2007, they sold 19-year-old Croatian young players to Bundesliga giants Schalke 04, earned a transfer fee of 5 million euros, and now, Basel's 20-year-old young winger Shaqiri has attracted the attention of giants such as Bayern Munich.
In a word, a team like Basel makes money by selling people, not by spending a lot of money to buy people.
……
"So, we had to abandon our plans to bring in Parosky." Hasler smiled bitterly and said, "As you said, the performance of Inzaghi's successor is not enough for us to risk spending a lot of money on it." ”
"You've made the right decision, Kent." "Bernhas would have supported the decision as well." ”
Bernhaas. Mr. Hessler is the current President of the Basel Club. When it comes to transfers, this gentleman is the real decision-maker.
"Mr. President, also endorsed my decision." Kent. Hassler nodded, "In that case, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard again." ”
"Well, there's no more worthy expedition in Italy." Fischer said, "I'm going to France in the next two days to see what the Ligue 1 has to offer. ”
"Good work." Hasler said.
"It's my job." Fischer said with a smile.
……
Hung up, Dieter. Fischer glanced at his laptop and the thick sheets on the table, and smiled wryly.
The computer saved the footage of Parosky's games, and there were nearly dozens of games, which he had watched, carefully edited, and collected a thick amount of textual materials.
This is the result of his busy work for almost a month.
Now, it's all useless.
Fischer sighed and put the thick file into a large file bag, and the game video with Parosky's name on the computer was also re-labeled, and then cut into the portable hard drive, which, unless there was a major twist, would be gradually forgotten like the massive video material on the portable hard drive.
Fischer is used to the situation where it can take months or even a year or two of hard work for a scout to observe a player, but for a variety of reasons, it can become useless.
……
Fischer lit a cigar, sat down on the couch, and picked up a newspaper.
"Inzaghi in the third division, big joke." A casual glance at the headline of the newspaper page came into view.
"Hey, Inzaghi's successor, there are too many Inzaghi successors in Italy." Fischer smiled teasingly, took a puff of his cigar, choked him and coughed repeatedly, picked up the water glass, drank a sip of water, and then subconsciously picked up another newspaper, casually turned to a page, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the thick headline:
"Inzaghi of Foggia, is it a true genius nirvana, or is it a joke of arrogance?"
Hey?!
Fischer frowned, he looked at the newspaper he had thrown aside, and he didn't take the wrong one.
