Chapter 921: Second Team Construction (3)
PS: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don't need everyone to spend money, so it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~
“…… That's great! Hearing Mourinho's answer, Zhuang Mingge was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to reply so quickly, and then said, "In that case, let's first discuss which players should be promoted from the youth team to the second team, so that they can experience the atmosphere of the professional league." ”
So, in the following time, Zhuang Mingge and Mourinho had a detailed discussion on which youth team players to select into the newly formed Fiorentina second team.
In the end, the two reached an agreement on this issue, and decided to transfer De Rossi, Aquilani (you should not have forgotten, Roma sold them to Fiorentina as part of this transfer in order to complete the transfer of Di Biagio and Tomasi), Palombo, Gambellini, Barzagli and Bonella, six young players who have performed well in the youth team and the youth league can no longer provide nourishment for their development, to the upcoming Fiorentina II team. Let them start in the lower leagues, slowly accumulate experience in professional competitions, and further hone their strength.
Once they have adapted to the intensity of the professional league and grown, Fiorentina will have a large number of Academy players who can provide immediate power to the team!
As a very assertive manager, Mourinho naturally cannot follow Zhuang Mingge's arrangement. For the personnel construction of the second team, Mourinho also has his own ideas and plans. For example, he fell in love with Vincent and Sun Jihai, who have been on loan at Ajax, and Marco Motta, who has rarely played at Benfica!
Regarding Mourinho's request, Zhuang Mingge thought about it for a while, and finally agreed. After all, Mourinho's idea also has merit, and Fiorentina always put these players out on loan, even if they are not recalled. Over time, it will not only reduce the sense of belonging of these loaned players to Fiorentina, but also easily cause some unnecessary conflicts.
If some of these players are brought back to the second team on this occasion, it will serve as an encouragement to other players who have been out on loan for a long time, giving them more motivation to improve during their loan spells.
As for whether Vincent will agree to leave the top leagues of the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League to play in the second league, Zhuang Mingge does not think this is a problem. Because for these players who are not very famous at the moment and who don't get much playing time in the teams they play, it is a good thing to return to Fiorentina, which is much better than sitting on the bench and watching their teammates perform at Ajax and Benfica.
After receiving the call from Fiorentina, Vincent and Sun Jihai, who were not taken seriously at Ajax, gladly accepted the club's arrangement - in their opinion, instead of being suppressed on the cold bench by those Dutch players in the Ajax team, it is better to return to Fiorentina to play, at least the second league will definitely have room for them to display their talents.
It would be perfect to take this opportunity to shine in the second team and then be promoted to the first team.
As for Marco Motta, Benfica did not put much in the way for the Brazilian midfielder, who already had Senna and Assunço in the midfield position, and they did not value Motta and were not optimistic about his future. So, the Portuguese giant, who thought it was a rare visit for Fiorentina scouts, sold Motta to Fiorentina for $1 million without any care.
At the same time, in order to make up for the lack of coaching experience of the young Mourinho, Zhuang Mingge, after obtaining the consent of the Portuguese, sent an invitation to Liedholm, who is retiring at home, to hire the respected football legend as an assistant coach of Fiorentina II. He intends to ask the veteran coach to keep an eye on Mourinho a little more, so that the young and inexperienced Portuguese can make a little less detour in the managerial position.
After receiving the invitation from Fiorentina, the 78-year-old Lidholm gave it a moment of consideration and signed his name on the job contract offered by the Purple Lily - for the Swede who has nothing to do at home after retirement, it seems like a good job to go to Florence to be an assistant coach who usually has nothing to do, just a mention of the young man named Mourinho at a critical moment.
Although the work of forming the second team seemed to be smooth sailing, in fact, in a place that Zhuang Mingge didn't know, something that was not pleasant happened.
For example, on the matter of transferring players from the youth team to the second team to participate in the competition, some young players led by De Rossi have strong objections to this!
At the beginning, when they learned that they were going to go to the second team that had just been formed and start playing from the lowest level of the second league, De Rossi and Gambellini and others still complained about the club's arrangement, thinking that the team was overkill! De Rossi believes that with the quality of their performance in the youth league, they can have a place in Serie A. In that case, why do they need to play in Rausch's C2 League?
If it's the second division, forget it, after all, there are many players with Serie A strength in the second division, and playing against them is beneficial to improve yourself, but what the hell is the second league? What good players are there who deserve to play in such a low league?
So, feeling wronged, De Rossi and Aquilani gathered together to discuss, and decided to go to the general manager of the youth team, that is, Mullensten, to complain, hoping that the club would listen to their opinions and regain their fate.
And the result of De Rossi's picking and picking is that before they could run to complain to Mulensten about the matter, they were first suppressed by the big brother Effenberg from the first team!
"You bastards, don't be in the midst of blessings!" This is the roar of De Rossi and Gambellini, who are ready to take action, after being caught by Effenberg halfway, from the German Tigers, "Isn't it just that the second team starts to play from the lowest level of the second league, what's the big deal?" I've never seen such a difficult young player to serve, I really think of myself as a superstar, and I can do whatever I want? ”
After learning of De Rossi's intentions, Effenberg was a little crazy, he felt that he really couldn't understand the thoughts of these young people now - they didn't have much ability, they had a lot of temper, they were better at picking and choosing one than the other, and they didn't wonder if they really had the capital to bargain with the club.
Is this the so-called generation gap? The German thought depressedly.
