"Again, sometimes, I don't understand what you're saying. Maybe that's what makes you geniuses special, but it's really hard for me to understand some of your words. Borg shrugged, "Still, you can plan again." Although I think it might be better to be more sincere with the team, but after all, you have your own thoughts, and you can do it yourself. ”

"Sincerity has a fart use, some people only have money in their eyes, and without money, it is superfluous to say anything." At this time, Esposito walked over, gave Borg a blank look, and pointed to the door with the wine glass in his hand, "And, when it comes to money......

"I'm sorry I'm late and I've kept you waiting."

At the door, a tall black man pushed the door in, and the person who entered the door took off his coat and walked towards the crowd, Li Bin greeted him and gave him a hug, and Borg also greeted him, but Esposito took a step back.

Everyone knows this man, Martins, the team's former director of scouting, was once an integral part of the team, but now he has resigned. He was the first to decide to resign after Parma fell into crisis.

His arrival made everyone a little cold, but as Borg pulled him aside, it also made everyone lively again.

"I'm sorry, I encountered some unexpected situations, and I wanted to come here earlier, but I was delayed a lot of time on the way." Inside, Martins explained. And by his side, Piaza and Esposito also came over.

Martins is now in his forties, of medium build, but because of some fat, he seems to be much bigger than the others. He was the oldest of the men. He is a former Nigeria international and the only one of several to qualify as an international. After retiring, he was not very happy in the scouting position, until Li Bin began to use video editing techniques heavily when he set up a scouting network in Parma, and he became the team's chief scout thanks to his knowledge of football and his ability to play editing. He can be said to be the person promoted by Li Bin, but when the disaster was coming, he chose to fly solo, which also made the team somewhat resentful.

"Don't worry, no one is waiting for you, it doesn't matter if you come or not." Esposito was the first to speak.

"Lorenzo, be polite, today is Lee's birthday." Borg's wife, Nadia, handed Martins a barley drink, Fayrouz, and reproached him.

"So it's more of an internal celebration for the people of our team, people outside the team, what are you doing here?"

"Lorenzo, let's let our friends say, if you have a choice, the two of us, who is the one you want to stay." Martins also spoke, "Although I have left the team, I am still everyone's friend, but you, who is always chirping endlessly, you let everyone say, who do they want us to stay?" ”

"I want you all to stay." Li Bin interrupted the dispute between the two, "This is my birthday, I have the final say, no one should talk nonsense." Lorenzo, you are not ignorant of the truth, Peter is not like you, he has two children to take care of, he cannot be as poor as you. ”

Esposito didn't say anything more, but he was still a little unhappy.

If there is anything regrettable about the catastrophe of Parma this time, it is Martins' choice. He is also the person brought out by Li Bin and used to be Parma's scouting director. However, when Parma encountered a catastrophe, he chose not to wait for the opportunity with Li Bin, but jumped out of the rut himself, established a brokerage company, and became an agent.

Esposito was very unaccustomed to this, but Li Bin laughed it off. What else can I say? After all, the current Li Bin really can't give too many things, everyone has their own ambitions, and people pursue money, so they can't say anything wrong. Since Martins still thinks that everyone is a friend, it is not a bad thing to be only friends and not colleagues.

This is called the accumulation of connections. No matter what kind of work is, it is extremely difficult to rely on the strength of one person to go against the sky. It's the same in football, training, tactics, dressing room management, feedback on the players' form – no matter how energetic one person is, you can't do it all. It's a great thing to have a good enough assistant who can help you share the work. And even if they leave and no longer help themselves, they can't immediately turn against themselves, otherwise, after a long time, who will dare to cooperate with them?

"And, Lorenzo, it's not for nothing that I'm late here." Martins continued, "Giuseppe has agreed to stay in the team for another year, and this time, we were not poached by Manchester United. ”

This news made Esposito happy, and he forgot about other unpleasantness for a while.

Giuseppe Rossi's agent is Peter Martins. When football players are young, it is difficult to make up their minds when they find an agent for the first time, except for some particularly assertive, many of them are introduced through teammates and coaches. And Rossi got his agent from Li Bin, that is, Martins. And Martins, as Li Bin's old friend, will naturally help Li Bin when Rossi can't make up his mind and hesitates to stay.

Of course, this kind of thing is what people say about the dirty behavior of coaches colluding with agents, and this is the role of networking. In addition to the world of comics, no matter how capable people are, it is impossible to rely on mouth cannons to inspire and conquer the world world, Li Bin asked himself that there is no realm of masters in Japanese comics, so he doesn't mind doing such a dirty collusion with agents. Anyway, it's a good thing for the players, even if the means are not glamorous.

He said he believes there are more opportunities to be gained at Parma. Moreover, he still has a year to reach the age where he can legally sign a contract, and within a year, he can regret it at any time. Martins whispered to Li Bin, "I promised you that he would have more opportunities in the next year...... You're going to do the same, right? ”

"Peter, did you get something wrong?" Li Bin frowned, "I'm not the head coach of the team." ”

"The new manager has to take your opinion into account, right?"

'I haven't met the new manager yet, I don't know, but I'll try to get it.'

Li Bin thought for a moment before answering. Martins is Rossi's agent after all, and he will definitely think about Rossi. Li Bin needs his friends to help him, and he has always adhered to the same idea: let everyone get what they want, so that everyone can contribute to themselves. He can convince Martins to help him, then, what Martins wants, he can't object-friends are inherently mutual.

Martins nodded in satisfaction, knowing the importance of Li Bin's promise.

"You can actually be a good coach, how boring is Luka to find someone else?" In this regard, Esposito also spoke, "I really don't understand, why should they be so picky, isn't the former coach of Milan also Asian!" ”

"Trim is Turkish, is it okay that Turkey is a European country?" Martins said helplessly beside him.

"Turkey is European? All the same, how different is Eastern Europe and Asia? ”

Borg picked up his glass and drank it down, "Lorenzo, sometimes I really can't resist the urge to splash you in the face......"

Esposito looked at him, "Don't be so racist, say you're Asian and don't scold you...... What's that expression on your face? Moreover, you didn't understand what I meant, I was trying to say, if Trim can, why can't he do it? It's not about nationality, it's about the education, Lee is the coach we have trained in Parma, and we in Parma are also a place that produces good coaches, isn't it? Mr. Sacchi, Carlo Ancelotti, they're all from Parma, and maybe Lee is the next coach to be able to match them. ”

Esposito's words received a lot of support, but Li Bin shook his head again and again: These guys, have you really forgotten the results of Triem? Being squeezed out of Milan by the veterans of Milan, is this a good future?

"First of all, there is a big difference between the two coaches, Saki and Carlo Ancelotti...... Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you more. Li Bin shook his head, "I have my own plan, so I don't need you to worry about it." I thought about using some more time, maybe a year, maybe half a year, to spin off my personal scouting network from Parma, and then I quit and leave, and in the future, find a team in Italy to hone my technical and tactical skills, not to get good results, mainly to see if my own ability is really good, and then leave Italy, go to Spain or England, in short, some places where the head coach has a little more power, to be a real coach, not a youth director. You know, I've always wanted to be a great coach......"

"I still remember the fight you had with Sacchi in coaching class, I remember it very well." "You can be a coach right now, you have good tactical thinking and coaching skills, you can do it." ”

"After all, the world of adults is different from the world of children, I don't have the experience of coaching the senior team, and besides, you also know what the hell Italy is, the problem of skin color is enough for me to stay up for a while." Li Bin shook his head and said, "Moreover, I am sometimes not careful enough in terms of tactical details, and without your help, it will definitely not work." ”

"What are you talking about? What does it mean to do without our help? If you're gone, you'll definitely take me with you as your assistant coach, right? Right? ”

Esposito's words made Piazza give him a blank look, "Do you have any loyalty to the team?" ”

"If we have the ability to leave, don't go."

"You try." Piaza immediately answered.

Looking at Piaza and Esposito in Doukou, Li Bin laughed, "Of course, of course I will bring you." ”

Of course, he doesn't forget these people - sometimes, a coach's connections are more important than personal ability. With the help of Borg, Esposito, Piazza and others, his success can definitely be easier.

"Gentlemen, can you wait until tomorrow to continue talking about your work?" At this time, Nadia walked over, "Today is the day of the reunion, this is Lee's home, not your football conference room. If you don't have one by one, now, Hertz and I have some other things to discuss, you can go and taste the food, Lorenzo, I made you the sweet sauerkraut you like to eat, Peter, your dish is in the corner, the blue plate, there will be no problem, go eat, don't gather here. ”

"Nadia, do you have anything to say to me?" After seeing the two of them leave, Li Bin also turned his head, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Of course there are things — things that are much more important than work." Nadia spoke, "I'd like to introduce you to a girl." ”

Suddenly, Li Bin felt that his head was as big as a fight.
