On the coffee table in front of Hydward was a note with about six or seven names written on it——— which happened in November last year, a few weeks before he took over at Portsmouth, and the note was the result of several months of work, Ward visited more than 20 cities in four countries, and a head coach would start planning for the next season six months before the end of the season. He has to carefully analyse the squad and then assess the flaws, as well as keep an eye on the prey in the transfer market.

Name on the note, Mane; Canter; Jamie Vardy has got it done, Icardi is on his way and Frank is making steady progress in Le Havre, France.

Even if Ward wants to fly back to England immediately, he must concentrate on facing Argentine talented striker Mauro Icardi.

"I've always hated failure," Icardi said.

He began to line up in front of him, "When I was thirteen or fourteen, I would spend hours playing with my friends. ”

Hydward's eyebrows furrowed, it was a military flag. A strategy game in which the player is placed on opposite sides of a chessboard with a river in the middle. There were armies and flags on both sides, and there were a total of forty chess pieces, the highest rank being Commander and the lowest being Scout. Also watch out for bombs and mines, spies and sergeants. You can organize the pieces at will, but be careful that the opponent finds your formation, the players take one step in each round, and if you go to the square occupied by the opponent's pieces, the third player, that is, the judge Messi, will determine which piece is higher and the lower level is taken from the board.

Icardi seems to be a fanatic of this game, and the rules of the flag are roughly like this: the captain eats the lieutenant, the general eats the colonel, and the commander can eat everyone except the spy, but the spy loses to anyone but the commander. The object of the game is to find the opponent's flag, or as many pieces as you can to capture, so that the opponent has no flag to go. But the most interesting part of this game is this: Messi won't tell you exactly what the captured piece is, and you never know how strong your opponent's army is.

Hydward lost three times in a row while Messi snickered, which is complex and strategic, but I don't know what it has to do with transfers.

"There were several summers when my school summer vacation was spent playing this game, and I hated failure, so I could spend the whole day analyzing the game, studying the strengths and weaknesses of each piece and thinking about how best to use them. I wrote it all down and made plans that I could follow through on so that I knew how to move the pieces and how to deploy my army to attack. ”

Icardi looks more like a manager on the board, and the core of the game is to confuse your opponents so that they can't predict your strategy, make them think that certain pieces are in certain places when you move, and you need to keep some pieces so that when other pieces die, there is no risk of losing right away.

The smashing Heidward felt that if he lost, Icardi would refuse to join, and he quickly set up the next set to continue. The Beryllium Emperor waved his hand to refuse.

Messi's eyes narrowed, and then he tried to kick wide, "It's boring to be a rookie." ”

“。。。”

"Shut up, Messi!!"

Ward was extremely annoyed, who rookie was he scolding? Are you still the shy big boy next door Messi? How did the style of painting collapse like this?

He turned his head to the Beryllium Emperor, gazed at him affectionately, and then called out the name "Icardi".

Messi's eyes seemed to speak: "Flicker, flicker... He suddenly became serious, his ears came together, like a curious baby, but his eyes betrayed Messi, he just wanted to continue to hear what other flowers Hydward could blow.

Ward, who has always been as thick as a city wall, was stared at by Messi's straight eyes, and he said with his eyes: "Can you go farther?" I'm nervous to be targeted like prey by a world superstar. ”

The slightly solemn atmosphere was completely destroyed in this coming and going, Messi understood, then pouted, picked up the fragrant tea on the table and took a sip, obviously with no intention of leaving.

There are very few people or things that can attract Messi's interest, that narcissist of Real Madrid is one, so brother always says that he is the best player in the world, and he is also the first, second and third best player, so do you take me seriously? Today he met the second one, a guy from the English second division called Hideward, and if Cristiano Ronaldo caught his eye with confidence that he didn't know where he came from, this guy who was always talking serious nonsense caught his eye with his shamelessness.

Icardi didn't care about his communication with his compatriots, but continued his words, repeating: "I hate failure, I've been instilled with that since the Barca Academy, and the second is failure, it's ingrained in my mind. ”

"If I'm the commander on the chessboard, I need a strong team for me to play, can you understand me when I say that, Mr. Manager?"

Once people go farther and farther on a certain road, they will never be able to pull it back, Messi pulled Hydeward's sleeve, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "He came out of the Real Madrid academy, Barcelona will not educate children like this." ”

Heideward, who just wanted to pick up, gave Leo like this. Andres. Messi ruthlessly sabotage, and even Icardi on the side couldn't bear it anymore. The big brother of this club, the conqueror of the world, the king of the Pampas, actually has this side, am I not good enough to learn, or is the world too deep?

'When you grow up in a club, it's not just a club, the players and everyone at the club is like a family. Icardi has to leave here with this believing, England and him are a good choice, I have this instinct. ”

Messi, who soon became serious in a second, pointed to Heidewald and began to explain earnestly, which was by far the happiest thing to hear.

Hydward promised to make the team stronger, and the rest was easy to solve.

………………

"Sir, my player's contract with Barcelona expires next month, and I would like to have a more in-depth conversation with you about the minutes you play and the position you play, and I hope you will give a commitment."

Moreno's agent is very different from Wanda, Icardi's wife in the future, when it comes to contracts, he prioritizes the training that his players can get, and how much money he gets when he first enters professional football is obviously not particularly important in his eyes, which is also something that Hydward did not expect.

Icardi was also on his way back to Portsmouth and needed his players to keep it a secret so he could be ahead of the competition from multiple clubs. He needs the player to go back with him to continue discussing the details of his contract, and leaving Barcelona is also a further way to prevent further contact with clubs, including Sampdoria.

The deal lasted three days, and so far there is only Messi; Hydward; A handful of people, including the player himself and his agent, know that even the Barcelona coach is in the dark and that his love will have been taken to distant England.
