Section 11 Inadvertent Opportunities
"I'm underestimating your stupidity, how could you have done such a thing on the first day you were here!"
Sitting in the car, Balaldi was no longer silent just now, even if he was driving, he did not forget to yell at Baldini, "Stupid! Why are you so high-profile? Li Bin is not a stupid person, if he is stupid, he will not be able to sit in today's position, you can both take the initiative to show goodwill, you have to want to suppress him for something! ”
Of course, Balaldi knew what Bardini was doing this for, but at this time, he could only pretend not to know it.
How could he not know what a scouting network was? For many people, this is resources, information, and information, money.
Mendes, Portugal's economic tycoon, had a time before he became an agent and made a living running a small shop that rented football match tapes. It was these tapes that gave him enough understanding of many players, and later helped him a lot in his agent career.
He runs a small shop, but here is a multi-million euro network of scouts. Compared with his little thing, the value of the thing in Li Bin's hand can be said to be priceless, anyone who gets such a thing can immediately become an important figure in football, Moji and Galliani are both salivating over this thing, he actually thinks he can get it directly?
What a stupid person this is!
"He has a lot of prestige in the team, and if I want to have my own prestige, I have to start with him. And he's just a Chinese......" Bardini was still arguing, but Balaldi had understood his thoughts, and these words no longer meant anything.
His greedy actions in the hall had already made Balaldi understand that perhaps he had found the wrong person.
"You'd better remember that stupidity and intelligence are not determined by the color of your skin!" Balaldi glanced at Baldini, and held back the conflict that wanted to scold him, "On the first day you joined the team, you wanted to take away the scouting network system in Li Bin's hands and take these things into your own hands?" Do you want to kill our team? ”
"With that scouting system in my hands, I can make the team play better! Moreover, he is just a Chinese, what are you afraid of? He didn't have enough people to support him in Italy, so why couldn't I take those things out of his hands? Baldini wondered, "Just dismiss him and let him leave the team." With a person like him, there will be no one in Italy to speak well for him, what are you afraid of? ”
"Because that would bankrupt our team!" Balaldi yelled angrily, then tried to calm himself down before he spoke.
"Don't you understand? After Chairman Tanzi was imprisoned, our source of investment was cut off. Now, we are able to break even, thanks to Clezio's academy and scouting centre. Buying and selling outstanding players is now the means we rely on to make a living, and now we are no longer the time when someone invested in the past, Li Bin's youth training and scouting network, in addition to making your team play better, can also allow us to get a lot of benefits. Buying players at a low price, selling players at a high price, it will be the way of survival of our team in the future, offending Li Bin, our entire team will lose its financial resources, we now owe 77 million, the owner is in prison, the team is in custody, once there is no financial source, we will be relegated like Fiorentina! Since he doesn't want to fight with you, you don't want to provoke him any more, what good is it for you to fight for power with him? What did you do to provoke him! The system in his hand, both Galliani and Moggie coveted, why do you think you can get your hands on it? ”
"But...... That's the system Parma paid to build. ”
"So what? Now in his hands! He has that qualification. He has a good enough scouting network behind him, give him 6 million a year, he can produce tens of millions, the cost of maintaining a team, with this ability, he is qualified to work against anyone! Balaldi said dissatisfiedly, "You have to figure it out, he is raising us, not us, he can afford to mess with us, we can't afford to mess with him!" He really quit in a fit of rage, he turned around and was able to find a new job, but our team was all finished! That system, he knows how it works, it can make those collaborators work together, but we can't! We can't afford to mess with him, he is the most important person in the team until we find a new investor, and we can't afford to offend him. ”
"How is it possible, those people, they are all collaborators of Parma, how can they all listen to him?"
"How could it not be? The coaches that Parma's football network has cultivated are all trained by him. Parma's football network and the cooperation of football schools around the world, he did it. Parma's cooperation with various agents is also done by him, those points of contact, except that he doesn't recognize anyone else at all, what can we do? ”
"How could you entrust such an important job to an Asian, you should be in your own hands!"
"His job is to liaise with football schools in Africa and South America, earning low wages, working hard, and having to fly back and forth. Not to mention the Italians, even the Moroccans will not do such hard work, this kind of work, only he is willing to do! So, you get the idea? It's not that I want him to be in power, this right is what he ran out of himself! There's no way I can't give him that right! Parma did spend the money, but without him, the money would have been spent in vain. In the whole of Italy, Parma is the only one who has built a good enough scouting network because of him. He is the last person we can afford to offend, because he represents our source of financial income! ”
"So, what should I do?"
"Go and coach your first team, and if there's no right player, get Hertz Borg in touch with him. He's a smart guy, he sees a lot of things better than we do, and now that he's leaving Parma, it's not good for his own reputation, he's not going to just leave, we can continue to work together. It's just that don't quarrel with him anymore. You have to understand who is the boss in this team now! ”——
"I really didn't expect that it would be Mr. Balardi who drove him away at the end of the day." Esposito looked at the people leaving and whistled happily, "Luca is much cuter now than before." ”
"He's just a dog." Piaza spoke slowly, the goalkeeper coach didn't talk much, but it was very shady, "Now, the master is gone, he is a leper dog." When have you ever seen a wild dog that doesn't wag its tail when it sees meat? ”
"Of course I know that he is a dog, but it is not easy to have the consciousness of a dog so quickly." Esposito interfaced.
The contradiction between the management and the coaching staff is natural, and the coaches are naturally quite happy to see the bad luck of the management.
"It's very simple, he's looking around for other people to invest in, but he can't always succeed. You can think about it, if you take a salary with assets of 60 million and a debt of 77 million, and go to someone to invest, what will others say to you? After being hit a lot, he naturally quickly became conscious. Li Bin opened his mouth and said, "But don't think he's really stupid, although he doesn't take care of things in the team now, but the team's deposits and accounts, who of you have seen it?" He's not stupid, the money is in his hands, maybe he'll call us stupid. ”
"Don't be so mean." Borg gently accused, "Tell me what results this new coach can bring us?" ”
"I think it's hard." Li Bin opened his mouth and said.
"For what?"
"It's very simple, tactically speaking, he is a defensive-oriented, mainly coach who started in the lower leagues, and his tactics are also defensive and tough. This kind of play can be mixed in Serie B, but not necessarily in Serie A. Especially now we are selling people on a large scale, Blasi, Barone, Ferrari...... We sold a back line, and now the back line is a group of children, and the children's physical confrontation is definitely not strong enough, and the tactical execution ability will not keep up, so his tactics will not be implemented smoothly, and the children are prone to mistakes, and his tactics will also have problems...... That's why I said he was bound to fail. The tactics have to be in line with the team, and he, obviously, doesn't. ”
"Maybe he's going to have some deep tactical ideas that he just hasn't shown before?"
"If that were the case, he wouldn't have been trapped in the second division for so many years. Hertz, a good coach, in addition to having enough tactical knowledge, must also have enough mind, courage, and vision, which is enough to be a good coach. A coach is the leader of a group of people, first of all, he must have enough mind to be able to infect others, but what about him? Do you see what he looks like a bold leader? ”
Borg was silent for a while, and then shook his head, "Parma is really full of disasters, we won't be relegated, right?" ”
"It's not like that, after all, we have a squad that can still reach the European zone last season, even if we sell a few main players, the remaining players in the front field are not bad, how can it be so miserable?" Esposito spoke.
"There is no limit to human stupidity." Piazza spoke again.
"Again, it's none of our business. The club doesn't trust us and we don't have to worry so much about the club. He doesn't coach well, what do we have? If you do your job well, you can get a penny and do a job. Borg stopped everyone from continuing to talk, after all, it was okay to talk about his manager behind his back, but if he continued to talk about it, it would become an insult for no reason.
"However, although there is something wrong with what Baldini said, there are some things that we really have to think about." Li Bin thought for a while, "Next season, my work on the youth training side, you should worry more about Lorenzo." I'm on the scouting side, so I might have to worry a little bit more, and you'll have to keep an eye on the youth team training. ”
"Okay, go ahead, I'll be over here." Esposito spoke, "But are you sure you still have to work hard for this team?" We're leaving, is it necessary to get down to work? ”
"Lorenzo, I know what you mean, you think we're doomed to leave anyway, there's no need to work hard, just spend your days perfunctory." Li Bin continued, "But I think this kind of thinking is unacceptable. People live for a day, they have to work hard for a day, we ourselves choose this job because we like this job, we need to do our best in this job. In the big picture, we're developing talent for football and implementing our own ideas, but in the small way, we're doing it so that we can get training and increase our knowledge. We are working for ourselves, not for others. Don't be so narrow-minded, get into trouble with the management, and then the whole club will not care? It's not good to do that. If others doubt our work ethic, we won't be able to do anything in this industry. ”
Li Bin paused again when he said this, "Moreover, I suddenly had a very strange feeling - with this guy's brain, maybe, we don't need to wait until we go to coach in another team." I have a hunch that next season, perhaps, Parma's situation will make Balaldi not give me a chance again. ”——
