As a hardcore football manager gamer, Li Mudi is still very interested in managing the running power of an entire club, as if running a business as a boss, which is very tempting and challenging.

Coventry City has given him the opportunity to go beyond the head coach position and take control of the whole picture.

So nominally he is only the football director of the Sky Blues, but the fact is that he is personally involved in the management work as the largest shareholder of the club, which is equivalent to a series of positions such as chairman and CEO and chief operating officer, which looks very majestic.

Of course, the specific affairs will still be handled by professionals, he is just at the helm in the general direction, and there will be no strange situation of laymen leading insiders that often occur in a national football association or even in many industries.

The main reason why Li Mudi was able to give up meddling in the team's affairs so comfortably was that he was more confident in Scholes's coaching ability. Although Jiang Tou is not a first-class football coach for the time being, he still has the ability to coach a mid-table team in the Premier League, and it is more than enough in the Championship.

And judging from Coventry's current squad, there is still a good chance of getting a place to be promoted to the Premier League next summer, and Scholes, who has learned more than sixty percent of Li Mudi's skills, can complete this not too difficult task, and it is really a tyrannical thing to let the former Arsenal manager play.

However, if the strength and heritage of the team cannot be strengthened as soon as possible, it will be difficult to escape the fate of relegation back to the Championship in the second year of promotion, which is absolutely unacceptable to Li Mudi.

Considering the club's business philosophy and prestige, it is still very difficult to directly bring in players with current strength, and it is not a good solution, the key is to strengthen the club's own hematopoietic ability.

After the hard work of the previous three seasons, Coventry City has indeed absorbed some local seedlings, such as 14-year-old local striker Rod Barnett, who was recruited and signed through the team's block, and 16-year-old right-back Phil Cardwell, who was poached from Leeds United's academy, and other four young players, all of whom have shown more than 150 potential in scouting tools, which can be said to have the opportunity to become an England international in the future.

As for the talent of foreign aid, there are even more, although limited to the problem of attractiveness, there is no super demon in the team with the potential to exceed 160, but the number is more than double that of local players, after all, without the bonus of the household register, the value of young foreign players is still much cheaper.

It's just that no matter whether these players can bring a big boost to the strength of the team after they really grow up, just from the perspective of time, they will definitely not be able to catch up with the Premier League relegation season that is very likely to come in a year, and the oldest group of young players will mature in three to four years at the earliest, and they will not be able to quench their thirst!

Therefore, Li Mudi can only put more effort into bringing in some immediate combat power that can help the team as soon as possible, and the three players he brought from Arsenal are the product of this pressure. Among them, central defender Matthew Dennis and central midfielder Stanley Vlaherty are both 21 years old, and they have not been able to get the promise of promotion to the first team from the team's new manager, and the best place to go is to sign a new contract without a significant salary increase and then be loaned to a Championship or even League One team to exercise, the future is full of uncertainty, it is better to follow the "mentor" who knows him better to join Coventry.

And the last 19-year-old midfielder named Charlie Patino was specially brought out by Li Mudi with some thought. This guy is considered by scouting tools to have a potential of up to 171 for the time being, and his current ability is far beyond his peers' 128, and the template is former Liverpool superstar Steven Gerrard, which can be said to be a rare good seedling in England, which is full of talent.

It stands to reason that Arsenal, with their excellent scouting system, will not let go of such a talent easily, but unfortunately the player himself has a strong desire to get a solid place in the first team in the new season, but in front of the likes of Wilshere, Ramsey and new signing Lewis Cook, the lad will not get a foothold at the Emirates Stadium, and he will inevitably be greeted by a loan trip of at least one season.

Just when he was feeling helpless, Li Moody's phone call reached the mobile phone of Patino's agent, who is also his father, and the recognized master of young player development in world football promised them that if the player himself can maintain the growth rate he had at the Kearney training base, then he will have the opportunity to get a rotation or even a main position in Coventry's first team in less than half a year.

In addition, Li Mudi also painted the big pie of the Sky Blues' intention to cultivate him as the future core of the team in front of the eyes of the two people, and finally impressed the Patino father and son, and successfully recruited the future midfield star with the consent of the player himself.

The three players brought in from Arsenal will soon be able to establish themselves in the current Coventry City first team and may not take a season to break into the starting line-up, although they were brought in by the director of football, Scholes is also the kind of good coach who focuses on the quality of the players and the quality of form, so naturally he will not refuse to improve the quality of the team.

As for the two young players of the Celestial Empire, it is obviously not honest to say that Li Mudi has no selfishness at all, because considering the extremely poor football environment of the Celestial Empire, compared with European players with the same potential, the club has spent more money to acquire the two of them. This means that the specific details are not known to the outside world, otherwise the media will spray more violently.

However, if you consider other aspects such as business development, these two signings can also be considered worthwhile, because the Celestial Empire is still paying more attention to foreign players, and there is no doubt that the purchase of these two youngsters can bring additional benefits to Coventry Club.

Taking Li Tenglong as an example, after a season and a half of loan training, the young man who has established himself in the national team finally obtained his labor certification last season and officially became a member of the first team of the Sky Blues.

Under the remote guidance of Li Mudi, the current ability has been improved to 134 The Celestial Empire forward quickly impressed Scholes with his personal performance, and became the main force in the team by about a third of the way through the season, which is also the second Celestial Empire player to occupy a solid starting position in a European professional team after Sun Jihai 20 years ago.

So, Coventry naturally entered the center of the eyes of hundreds of millions of fans in the Celestial Empire, although because of the relationship in the secondary league, the attention and benefits received are far less than Manchester City, which has not been acquired by the Middle East tycoons, but it can't stand up to Li Tenglong is an attacker, and he is more fans than defenders in nature. After an impressive record of seven goals and eight assists in 37 appearances in all competitions last season, the 22-year-old has become one of the country's biggest stars, even though at least half of his tens of millions of fans are due to his tough looks.

With the increase in exposure in Asia, Li Tenglong's popularity will naturally rise with the tide, according to Genes, this kid's latest endorsement fee can already touch Li Mudi's forty percent level, making the latter the world's No. 1 coach both surprised and helpless, who made his appearance mediocre enough.

Coventry FC's popularity in the Celestial Empire has also increased dramatically, with several sponsorships from the Far East under the guidance of Li Muddy and Gines, which is far higher than the level of Torino and Arsenal, but it is also very impressive for a Championship team.

If the two new Celestial Empire youngsters can also make a name for themselves in the near future, what kind of benefits will it bring to the club, isn't it a louse on the bald head - obviously, for this reason alone, other senior executives will not stand up and question the decision of the new director. Of course, the talent of the players is also very important, but the three words Li Mudi are the most effective credibility guarantee in world football, and naturally no one will jump out to make irresponsible remarks without interest.

Zhang Mingqi, born in August 2006, plays as a right winger/right winger, is a good seedling cultivated by the academy of Qilu Luneng Football Club, has spent two years in the club's Brazilian training base, crosses, running and team spirit have a lot of advantages over their peers, and have received continuous attention from teams including Victoria and Botafogo.

Although Luneng's achievements in the Tianchao over the years cannot be said to be particularly outstanding, but only in terms of the cultivation of young players, they are indeed worthy of the title of the first in the Tianchao, and have sent many members to the national teams at all levels for more than ten years.

So when Li Muddy decided to look for a global partner for Coventry's academy, one thing that came to mind was this club in China, where the two clubs could have in-depth exchanges on the concepts and methods of selecting and cultivating young players, as well as talent exchanges, and finally achieve a perfect outcome of a win-win situation.

Moreover, Luneng has set up training bases in Brazil, Portugal and other developed football countries as early as ten years ago, and has rich experience in overseas youth training strategies, which can bring a lot of new knowledge that is more in line with the development of modern football to Coventry, which has always adhered to the traditional local strategy, and it is definitely a good deal to cooperate with it.

Another right wing-back named Luo Yonghui, who was born in 2007, is from another Wanda department in China that is known for its high level of youth training. Although the "Celestial Circle of Hopes" event, which was founded in 2011, is no longer as dazzling as it used to be, the successor organizers are still very reliable in following the previous selection and training methods, and are still sending 20 to 30 young players to Spain every year to receive the most advanced football training.

Luo Yonghui is one of the young players who were selected last year, and he performed well in the U16 team of Atletico Madrid, and is one of the few players in the Celestial Empire who does not rely on physical fitness, but relies on his brain to play. However, due to the terms of the treaty, if Atletico Madrid wanted to keep him, they had to pay a fee that could be accepted by the player's parent club, Beijing Wanda, which was obviously impossible, so the young man could only return to the big dye vat in China and wait for the end to come.

Fortunately, Li Mudi happened to meet with Gao Hongbo when he returned to China for a vacation, and learned the information of several potential (relative to Celestial Empire players) from the latter's mouth, and then through the confirmation of scouting tools, he finally made the decision to sign the above two, giving them, and perhaps the entire Celestial Empire football a chance to redeem themselves.

Zhang Mingqi, with a potential value of 147 and a current ability of 77, is modeled as the Italian fringe international Lazzari, if he is full of practice and the distribution of attributes is ideal, it is still very promising to play the main team in the middle and back of the five major leagues; Although Luo Yonghui's potential value is slightly lower, only 141, and his current ability is 72, because he is taking a relatively rare spiritual attribute stream, his future development prospects will not be too bad. But after all, trapped by the low ceiling, and the speed and other physical qualities are still relatively worrying, the final best ending may be similar to Zhang Mingqi.

However, compared with Sun Jihai, Zheng Zhi and several other old-timers who have stood in overseas high-level leagues, the potential value of these two young players is still a step higher, if they can grow up in the most satisfactory way, with Li Tenglong, who can already be regarded as an Asian-level star, it should be able to bring a visible improvement to the national football team, and it can be regarded as a little strength that Li Mudi has contributed to the development of the motherland's football career.

Of course, this will not be a one-shot deal, and if there is still a chance in the future, he will continue to ensure that the interests of Coventry City FC are not harmed, while trying to create better conditions for those domestic players who need a greater platform for development, and strive to have a clear conscience.

For example, after the summer transfer window closed and there would be no more frequent squad changes in a short period of time, Li Muddy shifted his main focus to increasing the club's financial revenue and expanding the team's overseas relations.

The first can not do much for the time being, even if his aura as the world's No. 1 coach has not yet begun to degrade, but the popularity of the Sky Blues is too low, it is difficult to attract big business to cooperate, and the annual sponsorship fee is pitiful, not a fraction of Arsenal's.

Fortunately, the businessmen of the Celestial Empire are still relatively powerful, and they are still willing to fill the billboards outside the Coventry Stadium and the training ground for the face of him and Li Tenglong, which also brings the club a net profit of more than three million pounds a year, which is at least enough for the operating expenses of other echelons other than the first team and the reserve team for a year.

As for the so-called expansion of overseas relations, in fact, it is to find a suitable partner club, and now Coventry is not able to make achievements in commercial cooperation for the time being due to the lack of prestige, so it can only start in competition.

Soon, at the end of September, the Sky Blues officially announced that they had reached a cooperation agreement with Portuguese side Estoril, Belgian side Lommer and La Liga team Navar, which can enjoy priority in team transfers and loans in the future, so that foreign players in the team who cannot obtain labor certificates for the time being have a good place to practice.
