After getting the future "world left" Alfonso Davis, Pan Yi's mood is comfortable.

Now the main lineup of York City, there is Baker as a high school striker, Lin Liangming + Alphonso Davies on the left, Karlström in the middle, and Kulusevski can play as a midfielder or as a right winger, and the goalkeeper has Isakson, I feel that the framework has risen.

At the moment, there are probably 1-2 strikers, 1-2 midfielders, and the midfielders are about the same.

After all, it doesn't need to be too luxurious to play in League One, and it is not a big problem for the main veterans in the original team to stay and play in rotation, including some household registration players who can meet the registration needs can also be kept.

So the next focus is on the back line.

With left-backs, of course, there are also two centre-backs, as well as a right-back.

One of the central defenders, Pan Yi, has already asked Scaloni to get it done.

The bosses are so hardworking, you have to work hard as the head coach!

So, who's going to get it?

It is the future British Emperor Star, Declan Rice, who can be worth hundreds of millions of pounds!

What, you say he's a midfielder?

In fact, he can play in the middle of the midfield, and he also played as a centre-back when he was in the first team at West Ham and he did very well.

Of course, Rice is the best to play in the midfield position, after all, he has both accurate long passes, accurate tackles, smart getting rid of pushes, heavy artillery strikes on the periphery, plus a height of 1.85 meters, retreating can defend and attack, such a comprehensive attribute allows him to become the team's midfield hub.

In short, if he is introduced, whether it is a central defender or a midfielder, he can be allowed to play, and it will be time to see the final result of York City's recruitment.

And his presence is bound to make Yorktown's troop arrangement more flexible.

If the normal timeline is followed, Rice has already been removed from the Chelsea Academy system and has now gone to West Ham United's Under-21 youth team.

However, due to Pan Yi's previous interference, Rice still stayed in the Chelsea youth team, but he still failed to show superhuman ability, and he failed to be promoted to the Under-23 this season, let alone the first team.

So, Pan Yi had already asked Scaloni to say hello to Arteta in advance, and poured this "swill" to York City.

Arteta has been officially announced as the head coach by Chelsea Football Club after the European Championships, so this kind of deal is considered an "internal exchange" and certainly not a big problem.

As for why not bring in a few more from Chelsea's youth team?

Again, the attractiveness of League One is too low, even if it is Chelsea's youth team, it is also a youth team of giants, and many people are reluctant to go to too low leagues.

If you look at the "taxi" of Chelsea every year, most of the players rented still go to the five major leagues, and again the Championship.

And even if the player is willing, Pan Yi is not easy to hollow out his disciple's family foundation, after all, it is still necessary to let Arteta have sustainable development space at Chelsea.

Therefore, even if Pan Yi poachs people from Chelsea, he is also poaching players like Rice who have been abandoned.

Anyway, Pan Yi has an open eye, and he doesn't have to worry about having no place to dig people!

No, now he has set his sights on an island nation in the Pacific Ocean.

There, too, there is a future Premier League-level defender......

"Dad, Mommy, I'm back."

The young man who got up early in the morning to run shouted and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Although the football season in Japan is still in the middle of a short break in the summer, Tomiyasu has not relaxed his strict requirements and has been training consistently.

In addition to running in the morning, he also consciously goes to the club's training base every day to practice, and he exercises a lot every day.

He was born in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and now plays for the local team Fukuoka Hornets, so he can live at home often, and it is easy to live and train.

Seeing this scene, Tomiyasu's father and mother nodded with relief.

"Xiaoyang is really working hard. Mom, you taught very well, thank you. ”

"Xiaoyang also has a good father."

Tomiyasu Kenyo, who was about to take a shower, heard his parents pouting each other and didn't say anything.

When he was a child, Tomiyasu Jianyang was also relatively stubborn, whenever he made a mistake and was disobedient, first his mother came to reason with him, and finally his father came to reason, and sometimes there was no succession, and his parents went together.

Well, Tomiyasu Jianyang's family are all athletes, and they are all strong and powerful! Dad is baseball and kendo, mom is track and field, and both older sisters are professional swimmers.

So at home, Tomiyasu Kenhiro is of course the weakest one, and under everyone's "strong" education, he does have a self-discipline and hard-working attitude.

Originally, Tomiyasu was going to swim like his sisters, but he couldn't get into the water due to a mouth injury, so he switched to running on the track.

Later, while running, Kanji Tsuji, the manager of the Mitsuki Club, discovered that the child was amazingly fast, had thick calves, and had great potential to grow tall, and then persuaded Tomiyasu's parents to let him play football.

During his elementary school years, thanks to Tsuji's local connections, the Mitsuki Club had a lot of games on weekends, so Tomiyasu could participate in 200-300 games a year.

Kanji Tsuji is very optimistic about Tomiyasu, he thinks that Tomiyasu's dribbling speed is very fast, and no child in the whole of Fukuoka Prefecture can catch up with him.

During this time, Tomiyasu aspired to become a professional soccer player, and he wrote in his graduation essay, "I want to become a professional soccer player and build a house for my parents." ”

At the age of 11, Tomiyasu joined Barcelona's football academy in Fukuoka.

For three years, Tomiyasu performed so well that the coach recommended him to Barcelona's La Masia training camp, but Barcelona were unable to sign Tomiyasu.

After entering junior high school, Tomiyasu joined the U18 youth team of Fukuoka Hornets in the J2 League.

And in 2015, that is, last year, at the age of 16, he registered with the team and played in the third round of the Emperor's Cup, against Machida Zevia, completing his professional debut.

It was also Tomiyasu's only appearance for the Fukuoka Hornets in 2015.

This year, he has also had a bit of playing time in the league with the promotion of the Fukuoka Hornets from the J2 League to the J1 League.

It's just that after playing in the first half of the season, the results of the Fukuoka Hornets are miserable, with 2 wins, 5 draws, 10 losses and 11 points, which are at the bottom of the J1 league, and it seems inevitable that the fate of the J1 round will be inevitable.

Of course, for Kenhiro Tomiyasu, who is not yet 18 years old, it is not a big problem to play J1 or J2, the point is to train hard to become stronger to get more opportunities to play!

——

As the family gathered around for dinner, Tomiyasu's mobile phone rang.

"It's Mr. Hase." Tomiyasu said.

The "Mr. Hase" in Tomiyasu's mouth is the general manager of the Fukuoka Hornets Club.

The family was surprised, this season is only halfway played, what will happen when the club manager calls at this time?

Then, Tomiyasu's father noticed that his son's expression on the phone changed one after another, and finally after hanging up the phone, the whole person was stunned.

"What's wrong? Xiaoyang? "When mom's concern asked.

"I ...... I might ...... Probably won't play at Fukuoka Hornets anymore. "The seventeen-year-old is a little distracted.

When the mother's face changed, she looked at her son worriedly.

And Dad's brow furrowed.

"Don't worry, kid. At your current level, it's really hard to keep up with the pace of the J1 League, and they are doing poorly right now, so it's understandable that they want to terminate your contract. It's okay, I'll get in touch with another club......"

Then, they saw that Tomiyasu seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and looked at his parents in a daze: "What, what is the termination?" ”

"Not a termination? What's wrong with that? Dad scratched his head.

Mom also went over and touched Tomiyasu's forehead: "Shouldn't you be sick?" ”

At this time, Tomiyasu's eyes lit up, and he hugged his mother suddenly, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to play football in the UK!" There's an English First Division team that has taken a fancy to me and the club has agreed to their offer! I'm going to play in England! I'm going to play in England! ”

Yes, York City FC have made a direct bid to Japan's J1 League promoted polo team Fukuoka Hornets for their young defender Kenhiro Tomiyasu.

Then, the Fukuoka Hornets readily agreed.

For players staying abroad, Japanese clubs seem to have a unified standard, that is, never stop!

Both the J1 and J2 leagues seem to be a springboard for Japanese players to reach the next level, and their clubs are happy to send their good players to Europe.

Such an attitude has also created waves of Japanese players who can successfully land in Europe and shine in the top five leagues.

At the same time, this approach has also raised the level of the Japanese national team, which has given them the qualification to challenge the world's top teams.

Whether it is against Belgium in 2018 or Germany and Spain in 2022, their performance has impressed fans all over the world!

Of course, as a Japanese player, Tomiyasu Kenhiro also has the determination to go abroad.

For the foothold, he will not pick either.

How many Japanese football seniors have played in the second and third leagues, and some have struggled in some very small leagues.

For Tomiyasu, these are his role models.

As long as you can go out and play football, you will definitely gain something!

In fact, if York City hadn't made a move at this time, he would have also moved to St. Truiden in the Belgian league in 2018.

After only playing for one year, he was bought by Bologna in Serie A because of his outstanding performance, and the transfer fee at this time was already as high as 8 million euros!

Then, after two seasons in Serie A, Premier League giants Arsenal spent more than 20 million euros to sign Tomiyasu.

As soon as Tomiyasu arrived, he solved the problem of the team's right-back configuration, and his air dominance became his advantage, and he often appeared in corner kick tactics, winning the favor of Arsenal fans.

And this is also an important reason why Pan Yi takes a fancy to Tomiyasu Jianyang.

Moreover, this guy can not only play right back, but even left back and center back, which can be said to be the panacea on the back line, which is Pan Yi's favorite type!

To be honest, in fact, in addition to Tomiyasu Jianyang, Pan Yi was originally thinking about whether to bring the future "three-ball king" Mikasa to Europe.

But at this time, Mikasa had just graduated from high school, and he had already shown his talent for football, but he refused all professional club signing requests, and chose to be admitted to a famous national university in Japan - the University of Tsukuba.

According to his life plan, he wants to finish college and then start his football career, so it's useless for anyone to come now.

Of course, even though he's in college, there's a strong connection to football.

For example, his graduation thesis was titled "Research on the Information Processing of the Attacker in the 1-on-1 Scenario of Football......

——

At this time, Tomiyasu's father's phone rang.

"Hello, is it Fu Anjun? Can you understand English? Said on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, I speak English." As a former professional athlete, Tomiyasu's father studied English.

And for the father, who has always been preparing to let his son play football in Europe, it is inevitable that Tomiyasu Kenyo will take English training classes in addition to training and competitions.

As a result, Tomiyasu's English is now acceptable.

"Great, I'm Pan Yi from York City Club." This call was made by Pan Yi.

Tomiyasu's father is his son's agent, so Pan Yi contacted his father directly.

"You...... Hello. Tomiyasu's father's voice trembled slightly.

On the one hand, his son is about to go to Europe to play, and of course he is very excited;

On the other hand, it was Pan Yi who called!

What does it mean that the world's best football coach has come to join his son to join the team?

"What do you think of this contract?" On the phone, Pan Yi briefly described the terms of the contract.

Japan is just too far away!

It only takes him five or six hours to fly from England to Canada, but if he flies from Canada to Japan, it will take more than ten hours!

Then it takes even more time to return to Europe from Japan......

Therefore, Pan Yi simply called directly and communicated on the phone.

Anyway, he knew he would be able to do it, didn't he? You don't need to make a trip yourself.

"I have no opinion." Sure enough, Tomiyasu's father quickly replied.

"So, what about Tomiyasu Kenhiro, do you want to ask his opinion."

"My opinion is his opinion." When the father said. It's good, it's very Japanese.

"Very well, then it's settled." Pan Yi said, "I will give you an email and fax number, and you will send your passport information and other materials, and the club will be responsible for helping you book air tickets and arrange accommodation." ”

"Okay, no problem, thank you very much." Tomiyasu's father nodded busily.

The York City Club is very meticulously arranged, and it deserves to be a century-old club in England.

Of course, even if he is very meticulous, even if he doesn't give a penny of salary, he still has to agree.

Even if he pays the money, he can't let his son miss this opportunity!

What's more, Pan Yi also showed enough sincerity, with a five-year contract and a weekly salary of 2,000 euros, which is much higher than Xiao Jianyang's current salary!

The annual salary is 100,000 euros, and it is rare for young people in Japan to have such a salary.

This also shows that the former Chelsea seven-time champion and new European Championship winner, and the current York City owner, really values his son.

In the end, Pan Yi chatted with Tomiyasu Jianyang again.

The young man can listen to a lot of English now, but he still stumbles a little when he speaks, so Pan Yi is also a long story short.

"Tomiyasu, when you come to the club, I will find you an English teacher. I hope you will be able to familiarize yourself with the English language when you come. After all, communication is also an important part of football! Pan Yi said.

"I'll study hard, sir."

"Very good, welcome to York City." Pan Yi smiled and said, "I look forward to your performance in the new season." ”

"I won't let you down." Tomiyasu said excitedly.

"Goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Tomiyasu Kenyo waved his fist excitedly, and then rushed directly to hug his father, "Dad, I'm really going to play football in the UK?" Are you really going to play for Pan Yi? Is this true? You hit me, I suspect it's a dream! ”

duang~

A seemingly powerful "heavy punch" that was actually lighter than usual fell on Tomiyasu's chest.

Dad deliberately made a fierce expression, but he couldn't help grinning: "How can we all have the same dream as a family?" It's true, you're going to play in Europe! Let's celebrate! ”

Today's news and phone call are great news for Tomiyasu's family.

The whole family was very happy, Tomiyasu's mother even cried with joy, and his father also took out his treasured sake and made an exception to allow his son to drink a few glasses with him.

Happy in his heart, Tomiyasu Jianyang's father's voice, who drank a few more glasses, was lowered: "Xiaoyang, it's rare for a talented coach like Pan Yi to look like this, this is your opportunity." It's also the first time you've been so far away from home so you have to take care of yourself and train and play hard in the team. Haha, my son is also a genius, I already knew that! ”

Tomiyasu had never seen his father, who had always been stern and believed in being good under the stick, speak like this.

For a while, he felt that something was blocking his throat and eyes, and he couldn't speak, so he took a sip of wine, but he choked.

So he coughed twice, then lowered his head and munched on the food to hide the tears in the corners of his eyes......
