Chapter 112: I'm Studing

For those who don't have a plug-in, it's hard for them to really see what a player's potential is and what kind of height his future development will reach like Li Mudi, but experienced professionals like scouts and a large number of game broadcasts and videos can help them analyze the general information. The young people under the age of 20 just mentioned are indeed very famous players in today's football circle, especially Mbappe, who was originally promoted to the first team of Monaco at the age of 16 and was regarded as the object of attention by the French media at the time, but was pocketed by the No. 1 giants before he played a game for the team, and the transfer fee of 6.5 million euros seemed not a small amount at that time. But who knows, after only half a season, people are talking about whether he will be the next Henry, and it is said that Monaco's general manager Vatim Vasilyev is likely to be fired early for "selling" this treasure, which really surprised everyone.

According to the latest data released by Germany's "Transfer Market", affected by the inflated value of the entire market in the past two years, Mbappe's immediate worth has come to 18 million, almost tripled compared with last year's value. And when Li Mudi proposed these transactions he made, Chairman Turin's mind instantly thought of a series of beautiful scenes such as "buy low and sell high", "the next Messi, Ronaldo", "genius prodigy in one net", and the weight of the Castilian coach in his heart suddenly increased a large part, originally in the Celestial Empire resources was only far behind the first choice in his heart Mihajlovich, but after carefully analyzing Li Mudi's super vision for young players, The gap between the two candidates has now been narrowed somewhat, although the advantage of the Serbs is still not small.

A mention should be made of the legendary centre-back of yesteryear, the only player in Europe's top five leagues to score a hat-trick with three direct free-kicks in a single game, and it turned out to be a centre-back, which has indeed made him a figure in football history that can be written about. However, it is actually an embarrassing thing for a central defender to be labeled as a free-kick master, compared to Carlos, another free-kick player who has also been praised all over the world, who is top-notch in terms of speed, hard work and teamwork, while Miha's defensive ability has always been overrated. Although the Serb is very fierce in momentum and his ability to tackle is also top-notch, his turning speed has always been the focus of the opponent, and he will always make some inexplicable mistakes from time to time, just like Ramos, who is weakened in physical fitness but slightly better in consciousness, the two of them really seem to each other when their brains are hot!

He officially joined the coaching job after retiring from Inter Milan in the summer of '06, becoming an assistant coach of the team that had become invincible because of the phone gate. Two years later, he took over the managership of Bologna and brought the old powerhouse to 17th place that season – Serie A was relegated from the bottom three, which was a real blessing if it had been England or Spain and would have played in the second division. Who knows that this kind of performance still got him a new job soon after leaving there, and Catania, who returned to the first division after 40 years of struggle, invited him to go, and the final 13th place finish can be regarded as an explanation. However, just as the team was ready to take the next season to the next level, Mihajlovic was poached by the powerful Fiorentina, and the Purple Lilies hoped to forget last season's 11th place as soon as possible and return to the top four of the league, only to end the season in 9th place, far from expectations, while Catania, who lost Miha, remained in 13th, which was embarrassing for him. After being dismissed, he quickly found a new position as coach of the Serbian national team, but in the 13 "big lottery" of 53, his home country team only finished third in Group A, where there were no traditional powerhouses, and missed out on the play-off qualification. However, it was this kind of achievement, and the Serbian Football Association did not say that it would resign him, but he took the initiative to resign under the call of Sampdoria, abandoning the expectations of the people of the motherland. Two seasons at his former club Samp were the pinnacle of his coaching career, finishing 12th in the first season and finishing seventh in the second season, which made him immediately attract the attention of Italian football, and AC Milan stepped in to let him take over Inzaghi's class. However, after spending a huge transfer fee of 90 million euros in one go last summer, he was only sixth in the season, and he was dismissed from his position with six rounds left in the league, and AC Milan finally lost his European qualification.

But now Miha, who is receiving a large amount of liquidated damages, is not worried that he will continue to lose his job, and his old club Lazio (here I complain, there is no one who can play for both the Roma duo and the Milan duo!) Immediately after the league kick, it was announced that coach Stefano Pioli was stepping down and began to look at him, and Urbano Cairo's first thought of replacing Ventura was his successor. You say how crazy the world is, it's unreasonable for a manager of this level to be such a gunner!

It is precisely because the more powerful Blue Eagles are in contact with Miha that when the president of Torino asked the team's director in charge of human resources, Pantario Longo, a few days ago, to contact the manager, who has a rich resume but has a poor record, he asked for a weekly salary of 45,000 euros, which translates to an adult salary of 2.34 million euros. This figure can be ranked in the top five of the 20 teams in the entire Serie A league today, in addition to the old lady, Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan, whose new manager is still undecided, even Paulo Sousa, who has just led Fiorentina to fifth place in the league, has received a salary of much less than that, and the contract signed by the old fox Ventura last summer is only 27,000 euros a week. It can be said that the appetite of the Serbs is too great, which makes Urbano Cairo, who only wanted him to take over the team at that time, a little shaken, and at this time, various resources from the Celestial Empire and the recommendation of the second son made the second candidate appear.

On the one hand, the famous star of yesteryear and one of the most stylish managers in the current scarf Stlye, who has given the president of all Italian football clubs super psychedelics, and on the other hand, the rookie of the Celestial Empire, who has only a full season resume and is still in the third division in Spain, but whose background seems to be very strong and can bring huge profits in business, Urbano Cairo, who is so shrewd in business, is really determined to make a choice for the time being. It's just that Miha's demands and bargaining chips have been laid out on the surface, and there is not much room for negotiation, and the bottom line here should not be explored. It's just that if he doesn't get the conditions that are satisfactory to him, the position of the new coach should still be handed over to the first choice, after all, the team's results are the first foundation, and no one can guarantee that this yellow skin, who has no experience in Italian football and high leagues, will bring the team to the second division.

Thinking of this, this media tycoon, who has achieved a career that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve in just a few years, decided not to go around in circles anymore, and it is better to solve it quickly, after all, it will not be beneficial for anyone to delay any longer. I saw him take a sip of coffee first, and after a brief thought, he said: "Let's talk about it straightforwardly, I appreciate your vision for developing young players and bringing in players, and Valentino talked to me about his philosophy for Torino in the next few years, and I still agree with it, so on this basis, you seem to be a very suitable candidate for the manager." However, you are too young and your coaching career has just begun, and if I had chosen you rashly, the fans would not have agreed. In other words, not only have you not convinced me, but you are definitely not going to be recognized by the fans, what are you going to do about it? ”

It's a very tricky issue indeed, and without the support of the fans, no one can establish themselves in the club, not even the owners. Not to mention Urbano's previous experience, the downfall of Cechgorry, the daughter of the elder Sensi, Rosella Sensi, Craniotti and others was "made" with the fans. If Manchester United fans can do what they say and don't buy tickets and merchandise after the club is acquired, you see if the Glazer family dares to hold on to the ownership of the club, and they will have to get out early. And the loyalty and passion of the Italian fans are known all over the world, Lazio, Inter, Roma, Fiorentina, Genoa...... Whether it is an old powerhouse or a somewhat down-and-out former powerhouse, they all have a large number of loyal fans who dare to support the team with their actions, and the fans of the Red Bulls are naturally the craziest of them. Compared with Juventus, the city's rivals who have a much better record and a much higher influence in recent times, Turin's fans are working-class ordinary people, although the financial ability is very average, but the passion for football is indeed the first in the Apennine Peninsula, and the fans of any other team dare not claim to be more energetic and passionate in front of them. Without the buy-in of these supporters, it will be difficult for any manager to establish himself here.

However, this problem is not a big problem for Li Mudi, and he smiled slightly and gave his own solution: "I can bring young talents and even some stars from Real Madrid, and I think this alone can suppress most of the doubts." Half a season, even two or three months later, I will use my results to silence those who oppose me, so in this respect I am more likely to be recognized than the other candidates in Mr. Urbano's mind. The answer was succinct and seemed to work, but there was a strong sense of conceit in it, which made the President of Turin, who was sitting across from him, frown slightly.

"If you can really bring some good players to the team from Real Madrid, it's a great thing, but in terms of price...... And those big names won't want to come to a team like ours that has fallen down, right? "Torino's budget for the new season is not high, so while the things they say are fascinating, they seem to be a bit difficult to accomplish in practice, and Urbano Cairo has to be a little skeptical.

"Hehe, those big names will naturally not come to Turin in the season or two, and now the vast majority of the players in this Real Madrid team are suitable for Zizou, and those first-line and even top players will not easily leave the best team in the world at this age. The players I'm going to bring in are people who have a lot of quality but can't get enough playing time, like Jesus and Kovacic, and it's not going to be a buyout, and Lafayette won't sell these young and promising players easily. After seeing that the other party understood what he meant, he continued to explain: "Leasing, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but the rental fee will never be high, and it can even be free, just share part of the salary." I guess this kind of deal is still very good for Turin today! ”

Urbano Cairo naturally did not show complete agreement, and he could not be led by the nose by the opponent during the negotiations, so he quickly provoked: "But the loaned players still have to return to the parent team, and it is unknown whether they can adapt well in the team, so it seems that the risk is not small." ”

Li Mudi picked up the coffee cup on the table again, raised his head and drank it all, and responded lightly: "I know Torino very well, and now small and medium-sized Italian teams are frequently using loan players to live, and there are many loaned players in the squad of this Torino team." I think as long as the results are good enough in the end and the influence of the club is improved, those first-line stars in the future will be willing to join sooner or later, right? ”

Last season's Torino saw 11 players on loan, including the two youth teams, and another 44 on loan in leagues across the Apennine Peninsula. So after seeing that the other party knows Italian football so well, Urbano Cairo had to affirm Li Mudi's answer in this part: "Indeed, for a small and medium-sized team like ours that is not rich in funds, loan is a very advantageous option. So even if you can use the players brought in from Real Madrid to temporarily suppress some doubts, the results just mentioned are ...... Wouldn't it be too ......"

"Rampant? Or do you not know how thick the sky is? I've been coaching in Spain for almost six years, and I started with the basics, but the starting point was a great opportunity that is hard to come by. At Real Madrid, the number one football club in the world, I have been in contact with Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Benitez and now Zinedine Zidane and have learned a lot of football knowledge from them, so I have absolute confidence in my coaching ability. I know that this may be unfounded in your eyes, but for now, I can't come up with any more favorable evidence to prove it, so I should simply gamble it. Set the time for two months or ten games, win, and Turin has a chance to revive; If you lose, I'll get out, in addition to being able to get a lot of benefits from the Celestial Empire, the team also has time to find someone else to save it. I'm sho hand, what does Mr. Urbano think? ”
