Marcia didn't trust Jiang Shan and immediately retorted, "Coach Cooper, Jiang Shan is too young to be qualified for the position of a scout, even if it is only a part-time job. ”

Cooper is the first-team manager and has a lot of weight in his words, but he doesn't decide who scouts, the club's president Cortes is at the helm, and the biggest personnel power is in his hands. So Marcia argued.

"Age is not an issue, Coach Robson recruited a 17-year-old scout a few years ago and became his assistant." Cooper said coldly.

Cooper has his own insistence, and what he decides will not change. Just a few days ago, Jiang Shan sent an edited video to Cooper, clearly and meticulously analyzing their opponent in the next round of the league, Atletico Madrid.

In the video, Jiang Shan thoroughly analyzed the technical characteristics of Atletico Madrid's two aces, Baraja and Belleron, and the data was very rich, and Cooper almost saw the data-based players. After watching the tape, Cooper decided to follow Robson's example and recruit him as his assistant.

In this day and age, big clubs have video editors, but nuanced data analysis has only become popular since 2002. Jiang Shan has been a video data analyst in his last life, and it is not difficult to achieve it under the condition of resources, but now he has just made a few moves in advance. But you can imagine how shocked Cooper would be when he saw such detailed data analysis for the first time.

Jiang Shan has been smiling, and the 17-year-old scout recruited by Robson is not the bird Boas? He started in Porto and managed Chelsea, Tottenham, Zenit St. Petersburg and finally became the head coach of Shanghai Port FC. In SIPG, he scolded the fans day and day, often suspended from the game, and received his salary.

"But......," Marcia still wanted to argue.

Cooper didn't like it, and immediately contacted Cortez, ready to find the chairman and ask for someone. Cooper's head coach position was given to him by Cortez, and the two have a good relationship, so there must be a little bit of face.

In Jiangshan's memory, Valencia President Cortes is not only poor in business operations, but also looks at the coach's vision quite accurately, and selected Cooper, and the team has reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years; With Rafael Benitez and two La Liga titles and the UEFA Cup, the trio relayed Valencia's most glorious period.

Seeing that Cooper was about to contact the chairman, Marcia immediately said, "This little thing, don't bother the chairman." It's up to you, you decide. ”

Valencia's top brass don't deal with each other, and Marcia and Cooper are not a faction, they have a mediocre relationship, but they don't tear their faces apart for a small scout.

The bearded and fat man looked confused, and the chairman pulled them out? It's ruthless. Such a strong relationship to compete with us for scouting? Isn't it really intentional to play tricks......

"Thanks!" Cooper's cold face melted and he smiled.

"Jiangshan, I'll give you a one-year contract first, double the weekly salary, 100,000 pesetas, and other treatment is the same as that of a full-time scout." Marcia doubled his salary, giving Cooper enough face.

"Mr. Cooper, Mr. Quintero, Mr. Marcia, thank you!" Jiang Shan's tone was flat, pointing to the self-recommendation form, "The three candidates above will definitely become talents, I believe in my own vision, and they will definitely be worthy of my salary." ”

"You kid, where do you get your confidence?" Cooper smiled and took his self-recommendation form in his hand, "Silva, Villa, Torres? ”

Cooper stopped smiling and said, "Villa and Torres are on our recruitment radar, and they have a good eye. But Torres is a man from Atletico Madrid, only 16 years old this year, and it is not easy to bring in. ”

Valencia took a keen eye on Atletico Madrid's midfielder Baraja early on, and the two sides were at loggerheads over the transfer. During the winter transfer window, Atletico Madrid, which was in relegation crisis, still clung to the players and said that they would not sell anything, and there was no result so far.

"The main thing is that Atletico's people are not easy to use." Marcia joked, "I have also paid attention to Torres, he is very fast, the impact is very strong, and the small skills are good, but the ball is too poor with his back to be the fulcrum of the frontcourt." ”

Marcia is also an excellent scout, and his judgment is fine, but he doesn't trust young people, and he exudes a strong Chinese atmosphere around him. In his impression, does Huaxia have football? In addition, Jiangshan's resume also includes the Xiangjiang Football League A, which is too poor. The strength of the champion team is only afraid that it is not as good as the middle team of West C.

But the timely appearance of head coach Cooper was the final word. The recruitment ended, ending in the victory of the country.

As soon as the fat man and the bearded man were about to leave, Jiang Shan shouted, "The old man is not afraid of failure, go back to study for a few years, and you can ask me for advice." The original words were returned, and his beard turned red.

Jiangshan does not hold grudges, and if he has a grudge, he usually reports it on the spot.

Cooper and Quintero saw the appearance of Jiangshan, glanced at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile at the same time, young man, the anger is relatively big, it is understandable. Marcia did not like such people, and he admired a gentleman with good manners.

Cooper looked at Jiang Shan's resume with great interest, and said to himself, "This guy is so lucky." In his two-year career, he won two league titles. ”

Cooper, whether he coached Hurricanes in the Argentine First Division, Atletico Lanús or Mallorca in La Liga, although he had a good record, he did not win the league title. In his first season in charge of Mallorca, he led the team to the Copa del Rey final, losing to Barcelona, and last season reached the European Cup Winners' Cup final, also runners-up, losing to Lazio.

Marcia gave Jiang Shan a one-year scouting contract, which he signed soon.

"You want to be a coach too? B level coaching certificate, not bad. A B-level coaching certificate in England is not easy to get. Cooper nodded in satisfaction, "UCAM students? You're so amazing to me! ”

He was directly rude, how could a young man have such a clear career plan? Playing football while also getting a coaching certificate and studying at UCAM University? Definitely a coach with an iron heart.

UCAM is the University of Wukang in Spain, although it was only established a few years ago, but its strong sports expertise is enough to make it famous all over the world. Wukang University also cooperates extensively with La Liga and is rich in resources.

The current Real Madrid coach Bosque also became an honorary doctor of Wukang University in 2013.

"I want to be a football coach." Jiang Shan made no secret of his ambitions, "and then won one championship after another." ”

"I was amazed by your data analysis video. So come with me and give my players a good explanation of your tapes, I'm sure they'll love it too. ”

Jiang Shan shrugged his shoulders and followed. The videotape was the stepping stone for him to sign the contract. Marcia and Quintero looked at each other, this is an appointment to watch a film together?

"Jiangshan, except for Atletico Madrid, you made me a video tape for the next few games, which is as detailed as the one you sent me."

"Especially Barcelona." Cooper added.

Valencia have two games left in April, at home to Atletico Madrid in the 34th round of the league and away to Rayo Vallecano in the 35th round of the league.

The first league game in May is at home to Real Sociedad. There was also a Champions League semi-final match before that, at home against Barcelona.

Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal has played aggressive football this season in order to add glory to the team's centennial celebration, and frequently played big scores. It is now in second place in the league, higher than Valencia and behind Deportivo La Coruna.

Barcelona played 4:2 Arsenal, 4:2, 3:3 Fiorentina and other classic scores in the Champions League; In the round of 16 against Chelsea, 1:3 away, 3:1 at home, and finally scored 2 goals in extra time, and the road to promotion was full of energy.

Barcelona are aggressive, and Cooper's concerns are not unreasonable.

Jiangshan searched for memories, and the La Liga in recent seasons coincided with troubled times, and the league competition was fierce. He vividly remembers that Valencia have drawn only one in the last few league games and won all the others. The Champions League also eliminated Barcelona and successfully advanced to the final, and the two-legged match is a classic. However, Valencia lost the most important game, which is a pity.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan suddenly felt that it was too boring to be a player walking along the historical development of football. Why don't you make a big hit, for example, kick Real Madrid off the horse in the Champions League final?
