Section 6 Homemade gold fingers
Parma's situation in recent years has not been very good. Although they are one of the seven sisters of Serie A, they are the worst after all, especially when the Palmalat Group has recently fallen into a financial crisis, so it is natural to shrink spending.
When Prandley was the head coach, Li Bin was the team's youth director, but he also worked part-time as an assistant coach and was responsible for the team's training. So, speaking of which, he is also a member of the coaching staff. When Prandelli resigned, he was preparing to go to Rome, he took his assistant coach, physical trainer and goalkeeper coach, and the team's scouting director resigned at this time, so the entire coaching staff was left in the team only Li Bin. And after a long period of preparation, Li Bin is also ready to be the head coach.
And Li Bin's side, Esposito, Piaza and Borg are the prototype of Li Bin's coaching staff. Esposito is a well-known Italian coach, he is an excellent technical coach, when he played, although he only played in the second division, but he was recognized as a good technical player, but he later encountered some other problems, retired early at the age of 26, and changed careers to coach. He has a deep understanding of the cultivation of players' skills, Li Bin has never played professional football, many technical things, are in need of his help, he has always been an important member of Parma. And Borg is a sports physiotherapy expert, he is a Czech, the Czech Republic in the 90s when football developed rapidly, he is also interested in football, he is a graduate of Charles University (Charles Unversity) in the Czech Republic, with a master's degree in sports science (B.I.S) and a master's degree in sports training, physical fitness, health promotion, in the early years when Parma was rich, he hired him, he is also a leader in the industry, although the qualifications may not be as famous as some old coaches, But he is also a well-known physical trainer in Serie A.
Piazza, on the other hand, has a slightly less qualified credential and has always been the goalkeeper coach of Parma's youth team. He has never coached a first-team goalkeeper and because he wasn't very well-known when he played, no team was willing to let him be a first-team goalkeeper coach. However, he has a knack for coaching young players, and although he is a little less technically good, he is quite good at coaching, which is what he is good at.
These people are all elites in the coaching staff of the Parma team, and Li Bin, as the head of youth training, is the leader among them. Although everyone has not discussed this issue, everyone knows that if one day, Li Bin coaches a team, they must follow Li Bin to take office, and at that time, they will be Li Bin's right-hand men, his coaching staff.
As for Li Bin's words, Borg was also stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "It's similar to what I thought, you really have a longer-term plan." However, it's very difficult for you to be a manager in Italy. ”
"You can't always run away from difficulties, after all, the tactical atmosphere in Italy is better than elsewhere, and I am now in the period of study, how can I leave Italy to go to another country?" Li Bin replied, "Besides, haven't I been preparing for ten years?" No matter how big the difficulty is, as long as you are well prepared, it is always possible to solve it. ”
Borg looked at him and didn't say anything. That's what his old friends have always done — plan before you act. He has always believed that Li Bin is a good coach, and for this reason - this is a real person who can rely on precise calculations to achieve his own goals.
"It's just a pity, if only Mr. Ballardi were willing to let you be the head coach according to Coach Prandelli." Borg sighed.
Li Bin just chuckled at this and didn't say anything.
Before Prandley resigned, he recommended Li Bin as the team's head coach. However, manager Balardi completely avoided talking about this matter.
Now Bharardi is at the time of the greatest struggle for power. The team's board of directors ...... That is, the owner of the team, Mr. Tanzi, who has now been arrested and imprisoned. The team is managed by the city government, and the team that has been managed, where is the management still saying that? As long as the team is able to pay the arrears and interest that need to be paid each year, and the wages are paid, the city government will not be nosy. If it can't be handed in, then just declare bankruptcy directly, and there is nothing worth thinking about, anyway, it is not without precedent.
And the management...... Now the tree is also falling and scattered. Italy is different from England in that the team rarely lives and dies with the team, and once the team is finished, they all run. Now the only remaining Balardi is still struggling to support himself, but the most he does is to look for people to invest in the team. It is conceivable that this kind of hugging other people's thighs every day and shouting 'local tyrants, let's be friends' is also difficult to succeed, especially in the context of the overall economic downturn in Italy. Now Balaldi has been hit repeatedly, and he has been frustrated badly on the outside, so he has returned to the team to vent his dissatisfaction. And Li Bin was originally in the team, and he was also a member of the management, and he was not on good terms with him, so he naturally refused to let Li Bin be the head coach.
Since the accident, his suppression of Li Bin has become more and more severe, and Li Bin understands this in his heart, and he doesn't bother with him.
As an Asian, although he has been in Italian football for ten years, has made a lot of achievements, and has been praised by many people, Prandelli thinks he is a good coach, and Galliani also admires his work, but when it comes to inviting him as the coach of the team, in the whole of Serie A, no team wants to do this. Even a team willing to give him autonomy in the youth training is extremely rare in Italy.
Everyone admits that he is a doer and an expert in youth training, but there is such a thing as power, even the Serie B teams are reluctant to give him a chance.
"Asians generally have low football talent."
Li Bin has heard this argument behind his back more than once. The so-called glass ceiling, he really felt it now, and sometimes, he would also add the next half sentence in his heart, "Moreover, Asians are not Italians, not Europeans, not whites, we can't trust them." ”
Although Li Bin has made a lot of achievements, there are still many people who believe that the reason why he has achievements is only because he is willing to work hard and work, rather than being talented and capable. Li Bin has met many people, and they all think that Li Bin's success is only because he is diligent in running errands and willing to go to Africa, South America and other countries to find around, so that he can achieve success, as for talent, many people are still skeptical of him. Therefore, many people want him to be under their own hands and do errands for themselves, but there are no people who are willing to let him be alone.
Balaldi is also Italian, although Li Bin knows that he is not a racist himself, but he is a very realistic person, and it is impossible for such a realistic person to risk going against the whole of Italy and hand over the head coach position to Li Bin. This is not discrimination, this is a habit, he consciously wants to be the same as others, and he is full of distrust of Li Bin.
Regarding this point, Li Bin has long recognized the reality: his skin color, if he wants to be famous in Italy, it is hell difficulty. Therefore, when he worked, he also kept an eye on himself, and he had a clear conscience about working hard, but he was also secretly accumulating contacts for himself and thinking about his future. Balaldi can rely on his identity to suppress Li Bin, but Li Bin has accumulated enough capital for himself over the years.
In the past, people didn't notice him, but after Tanzi was imprisoned, when Parma was in danger, the Italians discovered that the huge football network behind Parma was almost built by Li Bin alone, and these networks were intertwined.
The coach, who seemed to them to be just running errands, was the greatest heir to Parma's legacy after the fall of Parma.
"It's just running errands, anyone can do it...... Remember who was the last person to be judged like this? Columbus, who discovered the American continent that anyone could have discovered, was so ridiculed. But now, who remembers the names of those nobles? ”
At a time when many people tried to poach Parma's scouting network without success, Li Bin's sentence began to be known to more people. The network of 300 football schools behind Parma is what he has built single-handedly, and he is confident that when he wants to leave, he can take at least half of them with him - which means that if a club with a normal investment is handed over to him, he can basically ensure that the club will break even. And if a club with a lot of investment, he can even monopolize a large part of the player market.
And since this situation has been known, he has become the target of major teams, and these football schools in his hands are his biggest reliance and the most coveted fat. Li Bin knew that in this case, he had to be more careful.
Li Bin knows quite well that although he is now famous in Italian football, he is still far from being respected. It was precisely because of this that he was not interested, and he easily threw away all the resources he had.
He knows very well that once he goes to a big team like Milan Inter to be a manager, when the time comes, it will be too difficult for him to hold the network in his own hands, and they can rely on the strong name of the team to compete with him for resources. Seven years of hard work and the network he has built up are the foundation of his life in the football world, and he can't just give him to others.
Mastering this network, and then finding a club that truly trusts him and is willing to let himself go, using this network as a resource for advancement, and relying on the knowledge and ability he has learned in the past ten years to open up a future for himself - this is the career plan that Li Bin wants.
Until then, he will only look carefully, search carefully, and find the most suitable place for himself.
Li Bin knew what the top three in the north wanted to do: it was nothing more than seeing Parma set up a youth academy without spending money, he felt greedy and wanted to do the same. However, Parma can do this kind of thing, but other teams can't.
In Parma, Prandelli supported his plans and let him do it. And when the team was not down, Mr. Tanzi also wanted to make a fortune with this model and supported him to do it. Now they are all gone, but Balaldi is also precarious now, Li Bin's strength in the team is enough to compete with him, here, he can take the opportunity to hold these powers in his hands, and make his career have a better guarantee, so he will not give up easily.
He worked hard, and he had to pay off.
"Hertz, do you know the truth, I have always thought that I am a very bad person, and other people like me have their own natural golden fingers that can make their lives extremely brilliant, but I don't. So, it took me seven years to make a golden finger for myself. Now, they want to take my gold finger away? No kidding! I won't hand over such a thing when I die! ”
