Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen: The Second Problem
"By the way, don't go, I just lost two shots, and when I come back, we'll play eighteen holes again~!"
The Granada team's director of sports operations chatted on the phone, expressing that he would return to the golf club for another round with his friend, who seemed to have forgotten the purpose of returning to the training base, and the phone in his hand became more and more energetic as he chatted with his friend.
After Mr. Haas, who mentioned yƬ, knew that Granada did not have an initial plan to buy players, he knew that the next time for Coach Corboni to talk one-on-one with the director of operations, since this was the case, there was no need for him to interject, and if he said that he was going to leave at this time, it would be a normal thing.
The chief operating officer hadn't finished talking on the phone, and the conversation was getting farther and farther away, even chatting about going out to sea with a few of his friends on a yacht last month, and after a little more chatting, he simply stood up, walked towards the door of the guest reception room, and finally left the room.
Coach Coboni was obviously a little surprised to see that the operating director was so concerned about this interview, and the operating director left the room inexplicably, which made Coach Coboni angry.
On the subject of this interview, Mr. Haas no longer had to interject, but he saw that Coach Corboni was a little different, and between his eyebrows, he could see a little bit of fame.
Taking advantage of the fact that the chief operating officer did not return, Mr. Haas whispered to Coach Corboni: "I can't interject in the specific details, because I am not part of the Granada team, I just hope that you can do your best in a while." Let's talk about this matter~! ā
Coach Corboni is also a stubborn old man, and he was ignored by the chief of operations. He was somewhat unrelieved of his own feelings, and the fact that the two sides had not yet found a breakthrough in the subject matter of this interview, so that he was very anxious, and after hearing Mr. Haas's reminder, the stubborn old fellow actually said:
"Even if you can't buy Boom, so what?"
Seeing that the other party's words were a little angry. Mr. Haas felt that he had to add another sentence, and said with a smile: "Don't mess around, don't worry." When we talk later, you can start with the team's recent record~! ā
After saying that, Coach Corboni immediately thought that his first thought was that Mr. Haas was questioning his coaching ability. Because the team has been eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Copa del Rey. Coincidentally, they lost to Barcelona in the league, coinciding with two consecutive defeats, as a medium-sized team, after seeing such a record, the club's senior management will not settle accounts with Coach Corboni in the autumn, but Coach Corboni himself believes that this is undoubtedly a hard injury.
Mr. Haas's original intention was not to make a joke, he didn't mean that at all, maybe it was a bystander. Mr. Haas simply rushed ahead of Coach Cockoni and found a breakthrough that Coach Cockoni had not yet found.
Again. Mr. Haas saw that Coach Coboni's face was a little variegated again, and he secretly figured out the reason for it, and he didn't want to leave any misunderstanding for this matter, so he explained: "I don't mean anything else, I mean to start with the results, and ask the club's top management to allocate funds to add some new blood to the team~!" ā
Seeing that the other party was also very truthful, Coach Corboni knew that he had indeed misunderstood what the other party meant, so he quickly adjusted his attitude and asked: "Seriously, I haven't found a breakthrough yet, but listening to what you say, I think I can only try this method~!" ā
"Yes~! Regardless of whether he succeeds or not~? Try it first~! Mr. Haas immediately replied with a flash of delight.
Counting the acquisition of Banm, coupled with Coach Corbony's acceptance of the 'breakthrough' given by Mr. Haas, it seems that the two old men have a tacit understanding, not to mention the identity of the host and guest, the two of them sat together in the guest reception room, with only one purpose-
Let the club pay for it first, and then get that kid from Banm.
"Hmm~! Good~! That's it~! ā
Coach Corboni made up his mind to use this breakthrough to show off the director of operations, directly putting some pressure on the club's top management to pay for it.
After sorting out the qiÄ, the two didn't talk again, and just waited for the chief operating officer to finish talking about the happy things ten years ago, or twenty years ago, and then gave the matter to him.
I wonder if the chief operating officer was talking to a friend about the happy things of forty years ago, so that Coach Corboni and Mr. Haas waited for a full thirteen minutes before they heard the footsteps of the chief operating officer returning to the guest reception room.
I saw that after the chief operating officer came in, before he sat down, he said first: "I'm sorry~!" I just went out to answer a phone call, let's continue talking~! ā
At this point, it was time for Mr. Haas to shut up, he was not a member of the Granada team, and theoretically he was not qualified to answer.
And Coach Coboni, who was absolutely qualified to answer, said: "Mr. Director~! If I insist on buying players in the transfer market over the winter, will the club make an exception to allocate funds? ā
Coach Corboni's words were so direct that even Mr. Haas didn't expect this to be the case.
But after the chief operating officer sat down, he smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that?" The club does not plan to allocate funds in the winter transfer period to buy players~! ā
Coach Corboni didn't want to go around in circles with the other party, and then said: "Our goal this season is to enter the UEFA Champions League, and the club's management also knows about it, but after we suffered two consecutive defeats, I began to worry about whether the goal of this season can be expected to be achieved~?" ā
"Oh~? Are you saying that the whole team has lost confidence~? The Chief Operating Officer asked.
Coach Corboni said in a hard tone: "No~! We haven't lost confidence~! We are going to strengthen the lineup~! We're not just going to have to deal with this season, we're going to have to deal with the next season, and we're going to have to deal with the next season......! ā
Without waiting for Coach Coboni to finish, the director of operations waved his hand, stopped the other party's words, and said, "I understand what you said~!" As the head coach of the team, only you know the most real strength and weakness of the team, and I can see your firm attitude, but will the club eventually allocate transfer funds? It's not that I'm in charge, I'm just responsible for the implementation of the transfer process~! ā
Coach Coboni said "um" and continued: "I understand this~!" I just want to ask you to help me express my willingness to buy players to the club~! ā
At this time, the chief operating officer could hear Coach Corboni's words, but he did not rush to reply, holding his chin in his left hand and frowning, as if thinking about what he should be thinking.
This matter is not complicated, it is not difficult to do, if the club in order to buy players in the winter transfer market and has prepared transfer funds, then Coach Corboni does not need to talk much, he can take the money, in the transfer market to find his favorite, how to expect that the club has no plan to buy players in the winter transfer period, so that can only go through the mouth of the operating director, to the club to apply for transfer funds.
In this regard, Coach Corboni did not dare to expect a huge amount of money from the club, and he estimated in his heart that even five million euros could be useful.
Gradually, the operating director's brow relaxed, his left hand was lowered, and he suddenly said to Coach Corboni: "First, I am confident that I can successfully apply for 7 million euros for you, and second, I want to know who you want to acquire?" ā
"Bamm~!" Coach Corboni returned quickly.
The Chief Operating Officer said, "Hmm~! What is the current price of this kid~? ā
At this time, Coach Coboni really couldn't answer, his mouth rang out, and the situation froze all of a sudden, Mr. Haas, who didn't want to interject, saw this, and had to answer: "As far as I know, Banm's price is 18 million euros, so, Mr. Director, the transfer funds of 7 million euros will not work~!" ā
Coach Corboni looked at Mr. Haas, his eyes slightly confused, and asked, "Is that so?" ā
Mr. Haas nodded and replied, "Hmm~!" You can't go wrong~! ā
The problem is still at the level of the problem, Coach Corboni has no solution, and Mr. Haas is even more difficult to say, so he can only listen to the meaning of the operating director.
Seeing this, the corners of the operating director's mouth were already moving, and half a second later, he said: "There is another way, that is, seven million euros to add a player, and use such conditions to buy Banm's boy~!" ā
As soon as Coach Corboni heard this, he immediately understood that if he really wanted to buy Banm, then the first-team squad he had built would have to change for this.
As for which player to attach? This is also a difficult problem...... (To be continued......)
