173 Head Coach
After calling Ricciardo, Rist called Mark. Kulu there. Because Rist thought of buying a club in Belgium because of Marc. The reason for Kulu.
Mark. Kulu is a very special figure in Côte d'Ivoire, and most of the young talents of Côte d'Ivoire are in his hands. Many football clubs in Côte d'Ivoire have poor academies, including Ivorian giants like Abidjan Mimosa, who don't have any players in their own academias. They are also reluctant to invest in youth training because they don't think it is useful. Half of the players who now play in the professional league in Côte d'Ivoire are made by Marc Brown. Football School in Kulu.
It can be said that the younger generation of Ivorian is in Marc. Kulu is in the grip of it. Mark. Kulu's soccer school, where the eighteen or nineteen-year-olds are some of the best talent in their age. With this football school, Mark. Kulu has most of the players in Ivory Coast at his disposal. Rist hopes to be able to talk to Mark. Kulu does a bulk business. No longer a two, three, or four, business, when Rist gets a foothold in the Belgian league, Rist wants to do a lot of business.
Mark. Kulou has mastered almost all of Ivory Coast's talent, but he doesn't have many channels for player transfers. In fact, he has one of his most haode friends, and that is Arsene Wenger. It's a pity that Arsene Wenger is now Arsenal's manager, and none of the players in Ivory Coast have been able to transfer directly to a team as strong as Arsenal.
Ivory Coast players basically have to go through a separate process. It's just that now the small club is exercising, and then being favored by the strong team. If you go directly to the European giants' clubs. Although this possibility is almost non-existent, even if you really go, you will be eliminated by the competition of the giants. Europe's top leagues aren't that easy to mix.
So Rist hopes to be able to pass the mark. Kulu monopolizes players from Ivory Coast to Europe. One Belgian club is not enough in the future, but for now it is possible. Because Ivorian football is not so good at the moment, there are not too many people who have the quality to play in Europe.
"Rist, you're moving fast."
Mark. Kulu was genuinely surprised. Unexpectedly, less than a year after Lister left Ivory Coast, he had opened up a situation in Belgium and even bought a Belgian club himself. He still admires this kind of work efficiency.
"How's that, Mark. If there are good players in the future, remember to introduce them to me, I want talented players. As for the price, don't worry, I won't treat you badly. ”
"I know. That's right. Rist. Have you found a manager for the club? ”
"Not yet."
"How about I recommend a coach to you?"
Rist to Mark. The reason Kulu called was simple. Hopefully he can keep all the talented players in Côte d'Ivoire for himself. Rist is going to be a second-hand dealer, putting Ivory Coast's talented players in Belgium for relegation, and then reselling them to Europe's top leagues. Didn't expect Mark. Kulu even wanted to introduce himself to a coach.
"Who?"
Rist was curious. Mark. Which coach will Kulu introduce to him?
"Omar. Trussier. ”
Rist took a deep breath, but he didn't expect Mark. The coach recommended by Culou turned out to be Troussier. Chinese fans are most impressed by Troussier. Because he used to be the head coach of the Japanese national team. And the results of leading the team are very good. He once led the Japanese team to the round of 16 of the Shijie Cup in the 02 Shijie Cup.
"He has just left the South African national team. Now in an idle state. ”
Rist didn't reply immediately, because Rist was still in shock. Troussier is still a good manager, and the most important thing is that he is the head coach of France. It has a very close relationship with Côte d'Ivoire.
Troussier had been to Côte d'Ivoire 10 years ago, making him one of the few European coaches to coach in Africa. He is also one of the few foreign coaches in Ivorian football who is respected by Ivorian football. He brought three league titles to Mimosa in three seasons at Abidjan and was hired as the head coach of the national team by the Football Federation of Côte d'Ivoire. During his five years in Côte d'Ivoire, he made a significant contribution to the development of football in Côte d'Ivoire. It was because of this prestige in Côte d'Ivoire that he was able to help Marc. Kulou runs a football school in Côte d'Ivoire.
Mark. The relationship between the three of Kulu, Wenger, and Trussier is somewhat complicated. First of all, Mark. Kulu and Arsene Wenger are good friends and their relationship dates back to when Wenger was a player. They played in a team at the time, and of course Wenger was Mark at the top of the game when he was a player. Kulu's sidekick. and Mark of the Year for the French Footballer. Compared to Kulubi, Arsene Wenger's career has been complete shit. But they had a very good relationship when they were players. Later Mark. Kulu became manager before Arsene Wenger and then invited Arsene Wenger to be his assistant coach. Therefore, the friendship between the two of them has been going on for more than 20 years, almost 30 years.
Wenger and Trussier were in the same class when they were taking the coaching certificate, and Zuihou obtained the coaching certificate together, and the two were classmates. With this relationship, Wenger and Trussier also have a deep friendship. That's why Mark. Coullu and Troussier were also able to get to know each other. Mark. Kulou's current power in Côte d'Ivoire was initially based on Troussier's prestige in Ivorian football.
Now Mark. Coullu introduced Troussier to Rist.
"Marc, Coach Troussier has just left his position in the South African national team, will he now be willing to coach the club?"
Trussier led the South African national team to play the Shijie Cup, but did not appear in the group stage and was fired by the South African Football Association. Now he is indeed at home, if history is concerned, he became the head coach of the Japanese national team in a year.
Of course, Trussier became the head coach of the Japanese national team and had something to do with Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger used to coach in the Japanese league, and his coaching skills have been recognized by the entire Japanese football world. From the Japanese Football Association to the Japanese fans, they all worship Wenger. Therefore, a year later, the Japanese Football Association hopes to invite Arsion Wenger to become the head coach of the Japanese national team and lead the Japanese team to play in the Shijie Cup in 02.
However, Arsene Wenger was doing well at Arsenal at the time, so he turned down the invitation of the Japanese national team. Then he introduced his good friend, Troussier, who was still at home at the time. The Japanese Football Association approached Troussier on Arsene Wenger's recommendation and then appointed him. In fact, this is often the case in football. The network of relationships is dense, and it is difficult for people who do not have a certain network to move an inch.
"Yes. He's been manager of the national team for over five years now and he's always wanted to be in charge of a club. Still, Lister, he has a bad temper. He doesn't like the interference from above in his work. ”
"There's no problem with that. So, can you help me with Coach Troussier? ”
Mark. Culou soon helped Rist contact Troussier. Rist met Troussier in France.
"Hello, Coach Troussier."
Although Trussier has been a coach for almost ten years, he is only forty-three years old. He started as a head coach when he was not yet 30 years old, and he is considered a veteran coach. But in Europe, he is not well-known. Arsene Wenger, who received his coaching certificate at the same time as him, is a rookie coach in Europe. At present, the national team is indeed a place for players to make a name for themselves, and if there is no Shijie Cup, it will be a huge pity for many superstars.
But it's not the same for the manager. It's like Ukhlin, who has a high prestige in the Czech Republic, and led the Czech national team to the runner-up of the European Cup and the quarterfinals of the Shijie Cup. But when he goes out, no one thinks he's going to be higher than the managers of the clubs who won the Champions League, the League Cup, the top flight.
"Hello, Mr. Cyrny."
Trussier was supposed to rest, but received a call from Marc. Kulu's phone. They were good friends, which is why he came out to meet Rist.
"Coach Troussier, our company has just bought the Mechelen club. Mechelen FC is a strong team in the Belgian First Division, but the main thing is that there are several Ivorian players in this club. They're not very old, but they're all very good players. I know you have a high reputation in Ivorian football and I have always admired your coaching skills. So I want you to be the head coach of Mechelen FC. ”
It's all nonsense. Because that's what happens when any club invites a manager. Regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, boast first.
Troussier also had enough experience, so he replied with a smile: "I heard about it from Mark." For me, my request is simple, the club does not interfere with my work. ”
Reesette nodded. Although Riester is not prepared to make Mechelen FC a Belgian giant, he still knows this thing. A manager is a manager and he has to be authoritative.
"Coach Troussier, I can fully promise you this. No one in the club will interfere with the team's training and tactics. But do we have some requirements from our club? ”
"You say."
Troussier didn't look like he was facing a club owner at all, but rather he looked aggressive. However, for Lister, the manager's personality has nothing to do with him. Because he didn't even want to interfere with the manager's work.
'There will be a lot of young players at the club. I hope Coach Troussier will develop them more. ”
That's what Rist is for. Rister buys players in order to be a second-hand dealer, and the coach is of course hoping to develop young players.
"There's nothing wrong with that, and it's as it should be."
Trussier had been with Mark before coming before. Kulu communicated and knew what Rist was thinking. So he's mentally prepared that he hasn't managed a club in Europe yet, so he just wants to test the waters here at Lister. (To be continued......)
