All Vincent has to do now is to go to Theo to ask for money first, and of course this task will have to be brought with François. Of course, before the winter break, Fan Shang specially met with every player in the team individually, except for a very few substitute players who want to leave the team to seek the opportunity to play, the other players are still very determined to finish the season. At least Bordeaux's squad will continue to be complete this season, and next season will only have to be seen step by step.
Vincent spoke to Theo on the phone, and then got up with François and went to Theo's winery. After entering Theo's office, he saw that Raule was inside. Originally, Theo wanted to let Laura intervene in some Bordeaux team affairs, but in the transfer of Zidane and Dugarry, Fan Shang put the blame on the financial crisis, and when it came to finance, the first problem was the boss, and the second problem was Laule. If Theo can't move, the person who is left responsible will naturally become Laole, so that whether it is the fans, the media or those who know about the club, they have a bad impression of Laole, which directly affects Taio's control of the club.
Fortunately, Fan Shang's results this season are too good, so that Taio has no way to intervene, otherwise he will think of other ways, in fact, Fan Shang has always been an excessive head coach in Taiao's heart, if it weren't for Fan Shang's final efforts to turn the tide last season, Taio would definitely not renew his contract.
Several people sat down one after another and began to discuss the introduction of reinforcements during the winter break.
"Fan Shang, I am proud of your achievements in the first half of the season" Although Taio is not interested in Fan Shang, he is still realistic in the face of results, "I also know what you mean by coming today, it just so happens that Jacques is also here, let's discuss it together." ”
Fan Shang nodded, "Thank you, the results of the second half of the season will depend on the results of our discussion in a while." "Fan Shang directly put Tai on it, which means that if you don't let me bring in reinforcements, then the results will not be good, and you will be the black cauldron.
"Let's get started, Vincent, tell me your opinion," Téo smiled lightly
"Luigi, you can see it, we lost three big players in the last game, and now there is a shortage of people at the back, at right-back and up front." Fan Shang began to complain, "In the first half of the season, we were lucky that there were no major injury problems, but in order not to affect the fourth-line battle in the second half of the season, I had to make some additions. ”
Tai O was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after listening to Fan Shang's words, he opened his mouth and asked, "Fan Shang, what do you mean by the four-front battle you just said?" ”
"I don't want to give up in the league, the League Cup, the French Cup, the League Cup, all four competitions." Of course, Fan Shang didn't want to give up, the pit system in his mind should rely on the champion to improve his ability, and he didn't want to make more championships.
"Fan Shang, do we have the strength in Bordeaux?" Teo was a little unconvinced, "Although we are a lot ahead in the league this year, but in the League Cup we are stumbling, and we will meet strong teams from Germany, Italy, Spain and even England, can we do it?" ”
"Why not? How can any team know that it will definitely not be able to fight before it fights, otherwise there will be no big dark horse like Denmark in 92, all according to strength, then it is not football. Vincent dismissed Theo's questioning.
"Okay, Fan Shang, what specific positions do you need, it would be better if there were specific people." Téo didn't say much, the more championships he won, the happier he was as the chairman.
'First of all, what I said, midfielder, right-back and striker, this has to be added, especially a capable right-back. Fan Shang has always wanted to find a right-back who can go up and down and Lizarazu can fly on both wings, "Other positions, such as the left and right forwards, we lack substitutes, the depth of the central defender also needs to be strengthened, and there are ......."
Before Fan Shang could finish speaking, Tai O had already interrupted him, "Fan Shang, okay, if you talk about it, a new team will be bought by you." Let's be realistic, we have to add one right-back, we will bring in a midfielder and a striker at the right price, and the rest will be like that for the rest until the summer. ”
"Louie, our team is going to win the quadruple in the second half of the season" Fan Shang looked at Louis with disappointment, "We should have at least two sets of quality squads now, so that we can be prepared." ”
"Now we have 27 players in the first team, if you do what you said, it will be more than 30, we in Bordeaux really can't afford to raise so many players now, we can't bring in reinforcements like those teams in Italy in terms of sponsorship and dividends, and of course we can't compare with the membership club in Spain." Theo began to cry poor.
Fan Shang actually knew that Tai O couldn't come up with much real money, but he had to do his best to deduct it. "Louie, in the previous partnership with Saruto, we will loan them three players, although we can get a Malouda, but it is also a potential stock and not an immediate force." "I think it is necessary for our first team to maintain the size of 30 people in order to cope with the four-line operation. ”
One is the temptation of the quadruple crown, and the other is to pay real money, Taio is a little entangled now, he still recognizes Fan Shang's ability, and he doesn't like Fan Shang because Fan Shang doesn't let him meddle in the team's affairs.
The four of them are now silent, mainly because of the wrestling between Vincent and Theo, with François handling the transfer for Vincent and Laural paying for it.
"Then if we don't take out three people on loan, will it be enough to bring in one or two players" After a long silence, Theo came up with a compromise.
Fan Shang listened, staring at Theo stunned, "Louis, I don't think this is what a successful businessman should say" Fan Shang didn't expect Theo to want to tear up the agreement with Sharuto, "We are now one more ally, if we don't reach a final deal this time because of ourselves, then which club will dare to cooperate with us in the future?" ”
Fan Shang's reaction was a little intense, he really didn't expect Theo to be so rebellious, it was Theo who pulled the line that night, and today he wanted to regret it directly for the introduction of players' funds.
"I'm just talking, Fan Shang, we will continue this cooperation" Theo sneered, he also felt a little embarrassed, although there was no treachery, there was already an agreement and he could not go back. "But I think 27 is definitely enough."
"No, no, Louie, we need 30 people to deal with emergencies." Fan Shang is still arguing with reason.
"Fan Shang, otherwise, we will set the transfer budget first, and the rest of the players you can buy depends on your and Francois's ability." Téo had a brilliant idea.
"Louie, that's okay, but you have to have a bottom line, if you give me $500,000, then I'll go to Tahiti to bring in players?" Fan Shang first said the ugly words in front at this time.
Theo listened to Fan Shang's words, and also smiled, he didn't go so far, "Jacques, let's talk about the club's current economic situation." ”
Let's go it, let's go and take out a bunch of data, and then report it for twenty minutes, Fan Shang was not interested in these things at all, and after sitting there for twenty minutes, Lao Le's report was finally finished, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
"Vincent, you hear me, the club doesn't have much money on its books now" Theo began to talk about the data again
"I'm sorry, I don't understand that, Louie, Jacques, you just tell me, how much money do I have to buy players now?" Fan Shang went straight to the point, he didn't want to listen to a financial report for half an hour.
Téo and Raule listened to Fan Shang's words with a black line, and the twenty minutes just now were in vain. "Fan Shang, I will now give you a maximum of $1.5 million to bring in reinforcements, including the young player from Sharuto that you want to bring in."
