Chapter 120: Remote Operation (Part 3)
Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Baozi and Qingzi, one is one of the bosses and the other is a senior executive, although they are on vacation, there are still a lot of important tasks to be solved in a timely manner.
And now Li Mudi has terminated his contract with Castilla, and he is not an official Torino coach in the strict sense, after all, Ventura is still in power, but he has a lot of work at hand. The first is to monitor the various actions of the new owner through the FM system from time to time to see if anyone dares to do things at this time; In addition, it is necessary to maintain close contact with Valentino Cairo, Glick's transfer has been completed, and Sweden international Pontus Janssen has also made great progress in his transfer to Leeds United two days ago, and the final offer of 5.2 million has been approved by the Torino side, and the player's own treatment must have been negotiated early, and the two sides will officially announce the success of the deal this evening. So far, the Torino club has completed four transfers: the sale of the Polish centre-back to Monaco for 12.8 million euros, the sale of Janssen on loan to Leeds United for 5.2 million euros, the signing of Rajjdzic from Roma for 6.8 million euros and the signing of Lucas Boyer on a free transfer from River Plate, although the latter three will not officially join the new team until the transfer window opens on 1 July.
There are also several transfer deals underway: Nikola Maksimovic wants to join Napoli has been rumored across the continent, but the latest offer of 15 million euros has given president Urbano Cairo a scoff, and it looks like the battle between the two sides will not be over for a long time. However, Valentino has already contacted Chelsea privately, and although Abou is interested in the Serbian defender, he cannot do anything with the new manager undecided, and can only use their club's name to stir up the news and help the player increase his value. However, the defender has already torn his face with the chairman, so it is only a matter of time before he is sold.
Add to that the 25-year-old Ukrainian centre-back Vasyl Pryima, whose contract is about to expire, and the veteran defender Cesare Bovo, who complains that he can't play and wants to leave, the team may have lost five centre-backs at once this summer, and now it has only basically completed the loan of Vallejo, which is too large, so the immediate search for a new centre-back is one of the most important jobs for the two at this stage. Valentino gave a list of players that the club's scouts had put together, highlighting a few players: Bologna's Luca Rossettini, Sampdoria's Lorenzo De Silvestri and Leandro Castan, Atletico Greek's Carlo and Frosinone's Arlind Ajeti. Except for the first two, Li Mudi has no impression of the rest of these names, but he guesses that they are all players brought in by Torino in the summer of 2016.
The exact quality of these players will need to be verified through scouting tools, but this month's opportunity to use it a little more carefully, and hopefully those ten minutes can be used completely and rationally to search for new signings or potential stars that the team needs, and not waste any of them. Because in addition to the need for a large number of reinforcements at the back, the team's offensive line also needs to be adjusted, in addition to Rajjdic who has to take over and Jesus, who has basically been loaned, two or three rotations in the same position or even better ability are needed. Coupled with the fact that the strikers also need to find a good partner or substitute for Belotti, the list to search is too long.
The reason why Li Mudi is so anxious is because of the change in the transfer strategy of various clubs in the past two seasons. Now it is very popular in the European continent to place orders long in advance, wait for the market to open and then settle, and there are even many ways to pay the full amount very early. In addition, as a hardcore player of the football manager game, one of the most unbearable things is that the players under his command leave on a free transfer, without bringing any transfer benefits to themselves. And Torino now has a number of players in the squad whose contracts will expire on June 30, which means that they are all very likely to go to other teams for nothing to get high salaries after taking the club's salary for a few years, and Li Mudi can only watch and do nothing. In addition to the aforementioned Prima, such players include Swedish midfielder Alexander Farnerud and a large number of young Under-20 players.
There is nothing the new coach can do about these players who will leave on a free transfer in just half a month, but those who have one year left on their contracts are the next ones to focus on, such as the main goalkeeper Daniele Padelli (Daniele Padelli) is the number one candidate who needs to be offered a contract extension immediately. Torino has not been rich in excellent goalkeepers, and now the goalkeeper is still his second-best goalkeeper who was brought in from Udinese three years ago, and Gillet has not even ranked as a third-rate goalkeeper in Italy. Therefore, although Li Mudi has a lot of opinions about this goalkeeper who loves to hit the ball too much, it is still necessary to ensure that the team can have a stable goalkeeper before there is no better option, otherwise it is difficult to say what can be achieved by relying on the improvised patchwork backline.
In the end, he was extremely worried about the club's huge U20 and U18 youth teams, with a total of more than 140 players (terrible!). The U20 team has 92 players and the U19 team has 39 players), according to the previous scouting tools, there are only a handful of potential values that can reach more than 140, and a lot of financial expenses are wasted every year, which is really a big burden. The lads in Turin continue to repeat the fate of the old-timers: promoted to the youth team, signed a youth contract, signed a formal contract when they become adults, and then kept going out on loan, year after year, until they left on a free transfer. Of course, there are very few people who can be bought by other teams before their contracts expire for a small amount of money, so that they don't end up looking for a home or simply not having a ball to play. According to the FM system, in the regular squad of Torino in the 15-16 season, only Quagliarella came from the team's youth academy and just returned from the outside two years ago, but this lone seedling was also loaned to Sampdoria in January, and a buyout amount was set, and if nothing else, he will officially leave the team soon. Fortunately, the Red Bulls can't play in Europe because of their results, otherwise they will be disqualified from participating in this group of mercenaries and without a squad of academy players. A major transformation in the development of the team has reached the point where it cannot be delayed.
Considering that there is only one year left for the big bug of scouting tools, in order not to smash his brand of "young player training master" in the future, recruiting some super capable real scouts will also be one of the important tasks in the near future. Combined with the unspoken rules of football, after Ventura hands over the coaching whip, a large part of the team's coaching staff will also leave together, and Li Mudi must hurry up to form his own coaching team, otherwise it will be too ugly for a bare commander to take office. These personnel whose work ability can be accepted by the new coach need scouting tools to inquire in advance, so Li Mudi will feel a lot of headache during this time, and the use time of ten minutes a month is really too tight, so you must make a good list before you can maximize the realization of your goals.
In this way, the three of them were busy with their respective jobs in the hotel, and they were sent to their rooms for dinner, and they did not come out of it for the first time until Game 6 of the NBA Finals began, and the game did not disappoint them.
At 9 p.m. local time on July 16, the Cleveland Cavaliers returned to their home fast loan center with a total score of 2-3 to face the Golden State Warriors with match point in hand, who welcomed back the suspended Dream Green. Just like Li Mudi predicted, the home team that escaped death in the last game completely stimulated the strong fighting spirit, and the lethal play against the opponent's core Curry was very powerful. Although this year's regular season MVP and scoring champion hit six three-pointers to score 30 points, he was also beaten to six fouls and left the court; James, the core of the home team, was once again a god, scoring 41 points again after the last game, in addition to 11 assists and 8 rebounds, and Green, who had successfully limited him, was completely blown out. In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the defending champion 115-101 to tie the overall score, and at this moment, Baozi jumped with excitement, knowing that he had once again witnessed the miracle of history, and of course, the added reward that came with it - Money!
As is the old rule, the three of them first went back to the hotel for a night's rest, and then took a flight back to Auckland, where they were found after three hours of disappearing.
Just when Li Muddy just woke up, took out the list to check what was missing, and then was about to start this lunar scouting tool in the afternoon, Genes called from France: "Lee, Italy has just defeated the Swedish team, and they have already qualified in advance with two wins in two games, and in terms of the strength of the last opponent, Ireland, they have basically locked up the first place in the group." I think there should be no problem in at least reaching the semi-finals according to this development, and the possibility of winning the championship is not small, it seems that Conte has no signs of leaving class! ”
If Conte doesn't get out of class, Ventura will not take the initiative to leave Turin, and Li Mudi will have to take a large transfer fee as liquidated damages if he wants to enter Turin, which is naturally worse for him who has signed an extremely harsh treaty. However, the memories of the European Championships in France are still fresh in his mind, with Italy losing 2-0 to Spain in the first knockout round and then losing to the hands of the German chariot to reach the quarter-finals, before Antonio Conte announced his departure and took over the reins of Chelsea after the game. So after carefully recalling and making sure that there was no accident, he replied to the agent whose voice was already a little uneasy: "Don't worry, the quarterfinals are the limit of this blue team, in addition to the backline is also world-class, the ability configuration of the midfield is already the lowest point in the history of Italy, if it weren't for Belgium, they would never have appeared so easily." So...... Just wait and see. ”
Although Genes was still a little skeptical about this analysis, the other party's previous predictions were as accurate as if a god had descended, so he put his heart in his stomach for the time being, and then prayed that Lady Luck did not withdraw his favor for his partner.
In fact, Li Mudi can still understand his agent's uneasiness. Although even if Ventura does not follow the historical trajectory to coach the Italian national team, it will not affect his entry into Torino, but only deduct part of the transfer funds according to the draft agreement. However, the first time he confidently analyzed and predicted in front of the chairman during the interview would end in a slap in the face, which would seriously affect his reliability in the other party's heart. However, Li Mudi didn't care too much, even if he put aside the memories of his previous life and relied on his own judgment, he didn't think that the Italian national team could go far. Verratti's absence due to injury has made the organisation of the midfield a mess, while Eder's goal rate up front has become a joke, and Pelle, who is about to turn 31, has scored more goals, but his ability to waste chances is also a fighter among the strikers, a 108,000-mile difference compared to the old-timer Inzaghi. Such a team can also abuse Belgium, which has become a worm in the tournament, and Spain, which has gone all the way to the black, and it is difficult to win against Croatia and Wales, let alone Germany, France and Portugal.
After comforting his agent who was watching the game in France, Valentino Cairo, who is busy with various player transfers in Italy, also sent an online video request, and Torino's Serie B affiliate club Pro Vercelli sent an offer to bring in goalscorer Claudio Morra. The player joined the club from Verona in 2012 on a season-long loan before moving to the Red Bulls for €50,000. Last season, Moura was loaned to two teams in Serie C, scoring three goals in 20 appearances, and there were no bright spots. However, Li Mudi still did not act rashly, and asked the prince to wait for his reply in half an hour, then temporarily turned off all communication tools, and after taking a deep breath, he called up the FM system and began to use scouting tools......
Thirty minutes later, Valentino received an email from the incoming manager: it could be sold, with a suggested price of 150,000 euros, just for reference.
Two minutes later, a second email was received, which read: "Contact the assistant coach of Birmingham City in the Championship, Kevin Summerfield, his contract expires on June 30, the chairman of the team has no intention of renewing the contract of current manager Rovitt and his coaching team, so Kevin will become a free agent in more than ten days." All we have to do is convince him to come to Turin to be my assistant and get moving, lad. ”
