At half past ten in the morning on the first day of the 2016 New Year, Li Mudi walked out of Madrid's Barajas Airport and got into the car of Gines, who came to pick up the airport, and went to the Castilla training base.

After a brief report from the office building, Li Mudi led Gines and his two assistants back to his apartment, signed the names of both parties on the contract to hire the agent, and from that moment on, he officially had a team to serve him, and finally he was no longer a single dog - no, he was no longer a lone man.

Since the previous coach of Castilla was not well-known in Spain, where excellent football coaches were everywhere, there would naturally be no advertising endorsements, so as his agent, he could only get a cut of his annual salary, which was pitiful. can let the giant crocodile Genes Carvajal personally sign a contract, and Li Mudi naturally has his own very special shining points and strengths. Spanish nationals of the Celestial Empire, descendants of Real Madrid, a group of bigwigs and friends in the football circle, and the team's excellent results are all excellent conditions for success in the eyes of legendary agents, and Li Mudi is a very hidden gold mine, although the reserves cannot be proven for the time being, but it is worth taking a risk, so he will abandon Russia's future number one star Cheryshev.

For Li Mudi, after having a powerful agent, his future coaching career will be much smoother, and his ability to negotiate or build momentum has made him suddenly become the top rich and handsome from the grassroots at the bottom, and the road to legend seems to have vaguely seen the starting point.

The relevant matters had been negotiated beforehand, so the signing went very smoothly and was completed in less than twenty minutes. Two of Gines' assistants left to return to the agency, while he himself would go to the Real Madrid first team's training ground to discuss matters with Cheryshev and then have lunch with Li Mudi.

After sending the three people out of the apartment, Li Mudi returned to his room, locked the door very carefully, and took out a medium-sized backpack and a small leather bag from the suitcase. The backpack contained a small gift for the Qizu family brought back from the United States, and the small leather bag contained only an A4 piece of paper - an A4 paper that would most likely reveal the secret of Li Mudi's passage if it was seen by future generations.

Because I was very tired from the long journey back from New York, and I was with my parents according to the custom of the Celestial Empire, dinner was very early, and I lay down early to rest at my home in Mallorca last night. On New Year's Day, Li Mudi got up before seven o'clock, washed up and had breakfast, and saw that it was still early to go to the airport, so he directly called up the FM system and used this month's scouting tools.

For the use of scouting tools this time, Li Mudi can be said to have made very full preparations. From January 1 to 4 every year, it is the time when the winter transfer window of various European leagues opens, of which the winter transfer period of La Liga starts at 0:00 on January 3 and ends at 24:00 on January 31. In terms of importance, the winter transfer period is nowhere near as important as the summer one, and is generally used by teams to fill in gaps, and occasionally there are major injuries before making more important player trades.

However, this month or so is very important for some teams and players. In 1995, the Boseman Act, a regulation that changed the landscape of world football, was promulgated, which has since greatly protected the interests of players, but also further exacerbated the gap between the rich and the poor between large and small clubs, making the football giants completely dominate the football circle.

Under the provisions of the Boseman Act, players have the right to play in any other EU country without paying any transfer fee after the expiration of their contract with the club, and the negotiation of a contract can take place six months before the expiration of the contract. The contracts signed by footballers and teams playing in Europe generally coincide with the start of the season, and the vast majority of them end on June 30 of a certain year, and according to the calculation of half a year in advance, from January 1 of each year, the club can negotiate with quasi-free agents who play for other teams and whose contracts are about to expire.

And for Li Mudi, who still has the ability to predict and FM system for more than a year, with his friend Zizou taking charge of Real Madrid, this transfer window is not only about signing free agents in advance, but also providing a group of high-quality demons to enrich Castilla and U19. Doing so will first allow Real Madrid to get countless treasures in the future team building, avoiding future transfer risks and extremely high financial pressure; Secondly, for Zidane, after having a large number of young talents, he can lead the team to the top of the world for a long time, so that he can sit firmly in the position of coach and move towards the position of the Bernabeu; And the last and most important benefit is that when Li Mudi picks up the coaching whip of other teams in the future, he can buy these genius prodigies from Real Madrid on loan for free or even at a low price through the "friendship between friends", a proper win-win!

At twelve o'clock, Qi Zu, who had finished his morning training, arrived at his friend's room on time as agreed, and was greeted by an extremely serious face and an A4 piece of paper with many names written on it, in addition to the gift.

As soon as he stepped off the plane in the morning, Li Muddy called the Real Madrid coach and invited him to come over at noon to discuss the club's recruitment plan and have lunch together. It stands to reason that the manager of the reserve team is not qualified to participate in the transfer of the team at all, and if someone else is the manager of Real Madrid, he will not only immediately apply to the club's top management to resign this guy who has no "organizational concept", but will even call the hospital to inform him that there is a mentally ill person here with an abnormal head. But now Qi Zu and Li Mudi have become a relationship that is not a relative but a relative, but a relationship (respect or intimacy is worth 100), and after so many years of getting along, he seems to have a little admiration for his friend from the mysterious East, and he is also extremely admired in terms of business ability, if it weren't for Li Mudi who wants to be the head coach, he wants to apply to Lafayette to transfer Li Mudi to the first team as his assistant coach as he did in the reserve team before.

Qi Zu naturally trusts Li Mudi's vision 100%, so when he saw this list of players under the age of 20, he did not have the slightest doubt about their ability and potential in his heart.

The transfer of players is a very important matter and needs to be treated very carefully, so Qi Zu thought about this list for a long time, and then said: "I see that you have added the transfer difficulty marked with an asterisk after the names of these players, can you explain it in detail?" How much does the transfer fee, signing fee plus the commission to the agent cost? Since I didn't have any big recruitment plans, I don't have a lot of money at my disposal, and it may be difficult to apply to the club. ”

Li Mudi knows that reality is not a game, and it is impossible to squander the team's hundreds of millions of assets to buy whoever he wants, but every recruitment must be evaluated and supervised by relevant functional departments such as the sports department and the finance department. Fortunately, the names on the list are not very unfamiliar to Real Madrid, whose scouting network is spread to every corner of the world, and many of them should still be the focus of the club's attention, but there is a lot of controversy over whether they need to be brought in now. You must know that Real Madrid is not a second-rate team like Lyon, Porto and Benfica that develop young players and then sell them to giants for high transfer fees (of course, they are all top black shops), this has always been the stage of the emperor's superstar, since Lafayette came to power, it has been adhering to the principle of "only buy the best, no matter how expensive" to purchase world-class stars everywhere, and rarely spend a lot of money on youth training. In the past 15 years, Real Madrid has introduced Ramos, who was less than 19 years old at the time, and Isco, who was just 21 years old (both of whom are also exaggerated), when there was a need to strengthen localization, and most of the new signings are long-established stars. The only time a large number of young players were brought in was in 2007, when the three South American youngsters Higuain, Gago and Marcelo wore Real Madrid's white shirt like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the chairman at that time was the already notorious Calderón.

However, Lafayette has indeed changed its attitude towards transfer issues in recent years, with Varane, Carlos Henrique Casimiro, Jesús Vallejo and many other youngsters being bought before they hit the price, which should be good news for both managers. However, if you want to impress the chairman and other senior members of the club, it is clear that this pair of "friends" still have a lot of homework to prepare.

Lunch was served in the first-team cafeteria, with the staff of Ramón Martinez, Real Madrid's head of finance, in addition to the "Friends" and Gines. During the dinner, Zizou was given a specific figure for the funds available for the winter transfer: 30 million euros, although it seems a little shabby, but in fact, no team should pay more than this amount in the transfer fee this winter, so the team is still very generous to Zizou.

One of the reasons why Ginés was able to join this internal gathering related to the team's transfer strategy is that he has a very close relationship with the club, many of the team's players are under the umbrella of his agency, and Real Madrid also needs his help in some of the major transfer deals; The second reason is that he wants to exercise his role as Cheryshev's direct agent for the last time, bringing Ramón Martinez to the president's office after lunch to formally apply for his departure from the team. Villarreal, who spent last season on loan at Cheryshev, has always been obsessed with him, and the Russian, who spent the whole season on the bench at Real Madrid, moved to the Yellow Submarine for €7 million in the summer of '16, and would have been worth more if the deal had been completed six months earlier. At the instigation of Li Mudi, Gines contacted Villarreal and reached a consensus with Cheryshev to leave the Bernabeu this winter.

The meal was eaten quickly, and after coming out of the cafeteria, the four of them went about their own business.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mudi came to the Castile training base to lead the coaching staff and players who regrouped after the New Year to start recovery training, tomorrow, that is, on the 2nd, there will be a simple tactical drill, and on the 3rd is the day of the game.

Dinner was settled at Zizu's house, and the perfume given to Veronica and the toys given to the children were highly praised, and the family specially prepared a large meal to show their appreciation. In addition, Li Mudi needs to continue to discuss the specific details of that list with his friends.

On January 2, Real Madrid's sports department officially contacted the agent of 19-year-old winger Andrija Zivkovic of Partizan Belgrade Football Club and proposed to sign the talented teenager on a free agent transfer.
