Chapter 362: Tragic Diary
"I'm x, rich and handsome pit me!"
This is a roar of rage that broke out in hysteria in the bottom of his heart on the flight back from Portugal.
On the notebook spread out on the side, the story and the change of heart since the signing of the contract are recorded.
July 1
At the moment of signing, the system was upgraded!
Signing for a European club and becoming the coach of the European first team triggered a milestone.
Finally upgraded to lv8.
ca/pa:180/200。
Lao Tzu already has the strength of a world-class coach.
Judging the potential of players 20, personnel management 19, motivation 20, discipline 19, tactical awareness 20......
The system is flooded with a string of shiny and blind figures.
However, I'm more concerned about reputation than that.
8277658!
Hehe, it's finally enough to buy a "ticket for the team's greatest potential".
When I looked at the shelves of the system store excitedly, sure enough, this prop worth 8 million reputation points was no longer the most expensive product.
On the shelves, there are a few more expensive props, and the name of the lowest item successfully attracted me - nuclear weapons modifier!
List price 50000000!
Hehe, this chicken thief's system! It is to remind Lao Tzu that he is a poor b all the time, and honestly accumulate prestige!
In addition, the system has one more function, I can sort and search for the ability value of players within a certain range,
For example, I can rank a team or players within a one-kilometer radius to select the player with the highest CA and PA in a self-explanatory list.
This makes it very easy to retrieve and I don't have to hold the players' photos one by one!
However, the scope of the initial search is still relatively small, and if you want to expand the scope of the search, you have to spend a lot of reputation points.
I'm used to the urine of this chicken thief system!
July 3
Although the Maritimo team has a holiday at the end of the season, I still decided to fly alone to familiarize myself with the working environment and lay the foundation for the next step of the work.
It took 16 hours and 3 transfers to finally arrive at Cristiano Ronaldo Airport in Madeira.
It was the first time I had seen such an airport, the runway was built on a hillside, and the planes were disturbed by strong crosswinds when they landed, and it felt like they could be blown away at any time. It's terrifying! I've decided to play games in the future and try to go by boat!
As soon as I got out of the airport, I saw the statue of Ronaldo that looked like Haaland. No wonder they say that Haaland is a statue, don't say it's really like it!
Madeira gives me a familiar feeling, yes, it's a lot like Port Happiness! The sky is high and the sun is shining, close to the sea, the smell of the sea is carried in the wet sea breeze, and the tall laurel trees are everywhere, and the Portuguese-speaking inhabitants are kind and relaxed.
Not only is the geography similar, but even the geography of football is very similar, the seaport of São Paulo is dotted with countless clubs, while the Madeira archipelago is small in size and small in population, but there are 23 football clubs registered in the professional system, not counting the club B teams that also participate in the professional league!
There are children with Cristiano Ronaldo and B fee jerseys playing football everywhere on the roadside, how can Portuguese football not be alive and prosperous in such a football environment?
When I arrived in Maritimo, the sun was setting, and the base was much smaller than the Tarzan Sports Center in Brazil, and the facilities were old and shabby.
It seems that the evaluation of this club in football is very impressive: general training facilities and youth training facilities, rudimentary office facilities.
Albert Ferres, the general manager, is a very serious middle-aged man, and his attitude is a bit salty, so let me settle down first, rest well, and get acquainted with the club tomorrow.
July 4
Damn, I drank too much last night! The hangover is so uncomfortable, I have a headache and want to vomit!
The Portuguese at the club left me alone in the dormitory, but unexpectedly, several Chinese executives were entertained in the evening.
It's funny enough to be a compatriot!
The club has a strange set-up, with Portuguese general manager Albert Ferres in charge of the team's general management and management, and responsible for the fans; Chen Wenbin, vice chairman of the Chinese government, is responsible for inspection and supervision, and is responsible to boss Jiang Jianzhang.
The vice chairman who can communicate directly with the boss is not specifically in charge of team management, and the general manager who manages the team has to go through the vice chairman before making a decision before finding the boss to report.
There are many doors, mutual constraints, and the water inside the club is a bit deep!
It was the Chinese who entertained me at night, but the Portuguese who led me to visit during the day, as if they were in charge of their own work, alternating with each other like day and night, but I could clearly feel that they were extremely wary and hostile to each other, and there was an undercurrent under the calm appearance!
Albert Ferres gave me a tour of the base and got to know the team's administrative and logistics staff.
Everyone was amazed at my unusually fluent Portuguese, which made me a little proud, but unfortunately I was laid off before I could take up my post because of the translator that the club hired for me temporarily!
Through the visit, I learned that Maritimo was founded on September 20, 1910, and it is a century-old store. Despite its long history, it has won very few accolades: the 1925-1926 season won the Portuguese Championship. He also finished runners-up in the Portuguese Cup twice in the late 90s. In 1976-1977, 1981-1982 and 1984-1985, he won the southern division of the Portuguese first division. As for the Portuguese Premier League, it has been the life of accompanying the prince to study since the competition.
However, having said that, the Portuguese Super League is also very perverted, since its official restructuring in 2002, it has been a triumvirate between Sporting Portugal, Porto and Benfica, of which Sporting Portugal has never won the league championship. In other words, there are only two Portuguese Premier League titles so far, with Porto winning the most, followed by Benfica, and then all the other teams combined, with 0 titles!
Coming back to Maritimo, their arch-rivals are the same Madeira nationals.
The two teams represent different classes. The supporters of the National Army were the middle class and the upper class, while Maritimo was the representative of the bitter middle and lower classes and the working class. The difference in class and perception between the two makes the Madeira derby extremely popular. And Ronaldo also played in the youth armies of both sides, which also deepened the contradictions between them, and everyone felt that Ronaldo was the representative of the club!
At the end of the visit, I met with some of the players from the club's first team, and the reason why I was represented by some of them was because the league was over and everyone was on vacation.
I only saw a handful of players, most of whom were Chinese!
Sure enough, as Gao Fushuai said, as a club dedicated to the "export to domestic sales" business, Maritimo is frantically hoarding Chinese players. It's just that through systematic observation, their ability is generally not high, they have little potential, and they don't have much training value, and Maritimo FC also recognises this, so most of them did not register in the first team last season.
Several Portuguese players who participated in the meeting also looked mediocre, which is understandable, as one of the leagues in the world that relies on foreign aid, most of the players in the Portuguese Super League are foreign players, and now they are on vacation, and they are returning to China, and they are not currently in the team.
However, what makes me a little unhappy is that the eyes of those Portuguese players are full of resentment and distrust.
It is no wonder that a little-known Chinese coach suddenly appeared and went to Europe to take charge of the Portuguese Super League century-old team, which no one can easily accept. What's more, this coach is still too young, and he looks younger than many players, if it weren't for the relationship, there would be a ghost!
Alas, the road ahead is a long way to go!
July 5
After a day of digging deeper, the club's training facilities were old, and there was no such thing as a high-tech training center.
This is also expected, how can a company committed to exporting to domestic sales be willing to spend money on training.
But it doesn't matter, all the training equipment Lao Tzu brings his own, and all buy new ones from the system store, anyway, some of them have prestige points.
A coach like me who brings his own training facilities is like a long-term worker who goes to the landlord's house to work and prepare his own food and dry food, and it is not easy to find a lantern!
As for high-tech equipment or something, I don't expect the club to spend a huge amount of money to buy it for the time being, wait and see, and wait until I lead the team to a certain level of achievement, and then I have the confidence to open up to the club.
Besides, these things are not in a hurry, high-tech equipment can only be icing on the cake, and it is of little significance to send charcoal in the snow.
Albert Ferres and I talked about the team's compensation. If I bring my own coaching team, the club will only pay the team salary of 500,000 euros a year, and I will have to raise the rest.
What is 500,000 euros enough for this year? A coaching team must have at least two assistant coaches, a strength and conditioning coach, and a goalkeeper coach. This does not include technical and tactical analysts, rehabilitation physiotherapists and team doctors.
On average, a person is at most a few thousand euros a month, and my own annual salary is only a meagre 1 million euros.
Looks like I'm going to have to find a few fools like myself who don't want money for the sake of their careers!
I'm more worried about the transfer budget than that.
8 million euros! According to Albert Ferres, this is the best the club can do under the pressure of the financial deficit!
DB's Alfonso transferred to Inter Milan, both worth 35 million euros. This transfer fee can't even buy 1/3 Alfonso!
Damn, I was a little impulsive when I signed the contract, and I always felt that I could find a treasure by my own ability, but I forgot that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it was useless to say anything if she had no money!
July 6
Chen Wenbin and Albert Ferres are like the sun and the moon, always alternating, and when one appears, the other does not know where to hide.
Unlike Albert Ferres, who has a serious and old-fashioned face, Chen Wenbin has taken Chinese wine culture to the extreme.
Everything has to be discussed at the wine table, and without two glasses of 52 degrees, it seems that he will not talk about things.
Damn, I can't handle this style a bit. I used to think that I had a good amount of alcohol, but compared with these old oilmen in society, it was too far behind.
In other words, there is no "thousand cups not poured" in the system store, even if the price is 10,000 prestige points, I will buy it!
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Wenbin seemed to be in his heart, what "the boss is very optimistic about you", what "you are the best coach in China, there is no one", what "the players you bring are outstanding geniuses".
Hehe, don't throw the top hat on my head like money, don't be courteous when you have nothing to do, it's not a theft!
Lao Tzu doesn't say anything about it, just watch you pretend quietly.
Sure enough, the foreshadowing in front is all for the purpose of hiding at the end.
You want me to bring a few DB players over!
He also said that the salary is negotiable, and the player can be given additional benefits in the form of a yang contract without going through the club's public account.
Hehe, no wonder the club can only come up with a transfer fee of 8 million euros!
It turned out that they all invested their money in the yang contract!
Although the valuation of Chinese players in the transfer market is generally low, DB players are not in the market for money. No matter who says "I want to transfer", it will be a bloody battle in the domestic transfer market, and several local tyrant clubs will smash tens of millions of eyes without blinking!
If you want to empty hands white wolf, you are dreaming of eating!
Now, I even have some doubts that Jiang Jianzhang didn't sign me for my talent at all! It's to poach a few DB players, so that he can be a middleman who "exports to domestic sales" to make the difference!
July 7
A lot of fans came at the gate of the base.
They didn't come to welcome the new manager, on the contrary, they attacked me in the most vicious terms.
Not to mention that I knew Portuguese as well as my mother tongue, and even if I didn't know the language at all, I could sense their deep hostility when I saw the huge caricature portrait they had pulled up at the entrance to the base.
The image of the pigtail slave holding a football in one hand and holding a money bag tightly in the other hand in the comic is very similar to the famous villain Wu Manchu in the American comics, and the long braid drags behind the strands, like a tail, which is the best interpretation of "Get out, yellow-skinned monkey" next to the comic.
I bet at least half of the crowd standing at the door thought the Chinese were the face of the cartoon.
No way, stupidity knows no borders!
However, judging from the reaction of the fans, I can draw three conclusions: first, Maritimo is very influential in the local area, and many fans really care about this team; Second, after the Chinese acquired the team, the perverse behavior has caused strong dissatisfaction among local fans; 3. Someone in the club wants to me.
It's just that some people want to mess with me because the club is currently on vacation, and I came to the club secretly to familiarize myself with the environment, and no one knows about my arrival except for the club staff and individual player representatives.
I've been here for a few days now, and the fans haven't come to make trouble. But yesterday I complained to Ferres that the club had too little money to bring in reinforcements and too little pay to the coaching staff. After that, I politely rejected Chen Wenbin's attempt to dig into the corner of the DB wall.
Immediately today, there was a demonstration of the fans, apparently trying to give me some color.
But who organized these fans?
Is it the disgruntled Portuguese Albert Ferres? Or is it Chen Wenbin, a Chinese with a grudge against his small belly? Or is it a game they set up together?
In short, I have to gather my forces as soon as possible. At the very least, a three-legged situation has to be formed.
Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
I actually went to Portugal to perform the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!
July 8
Sure enough, the incident continues to ferment.
Early in the morning, the newspaper on the desk of my office probably did not appear there unintentionally.
The title party of the Portuguese media played also 6.
El Portière: With the arrival of the Chinese coach, Maritimo continues to slide towards the abyss
Madeira Times: Hundreds of fans spontaneously gathered to show the power of anger to Chinese capital and its lackeys!
"Record": The Far East dragon urges the storm, and the Madeira Voyage hits the rocks!
In fact, looking at the content, it is also possible to understand the anxiety of the Portuguese media.
ABOIE: "As the second league in Europe that relies on foreign aid, the proportion of foreign aid has reached 63.6%, and the number of foreign aid is still surging, our league has become a transit station or a springboard for foreign players to enter Europe, and the competitiveness of the league is gradually declining.
But there is no capital, and in order to maximize profits, they do not hesitate to suck the last drop of blood of our league and club. In order to expand their influence in their home countries, they even go so far as to hire inexperienced local coaches, using our club as a gimmick and a testing ground!
Maritimo was one of the top five in the Portuguese Super League before the Chinese acquisition, but after the Chinese entered the city, it gradually declined, and last season barely became the third from the bottom, and could be relegated. But instead of reflecting, Chinese capital stepped up and hired a 25-year-old Chinese who had never been a professional player!
Well, we can observe a moment of silence for Maritimo, this old powerhouse will soon be saying goodbye to the top flight! In addition, I advise other clubs not to gloat, because the capital side is like a leech, after sucking the blood of a club, it will immediately look for the next target! ”
I remember the name of this journalist, Duncan Canses! I hope you prepare more painkillers in advance to prevent your face from being swollen in the future!
July 9
Here's a summary of what I did on the flight.
The overall situation is like this: the club's office and training facilities are rudimentary, the club's management is constantly infighting, the salary package and transfer budget are pitiful, the players are lacking in ability and potential, the fans are extremely distrustful of the Chinese capital and management team, and they like to fan the flames and fear that the world will not be chaotic......
In short, everything indicates that this will be a sad story, and as Shakespeare said, this cruel pleasure will eventually end in cruelty!
Hehe, but isn't that interesting? If it's all going well, why do you want me to do it?
Now that the main quest of SSSSS-level difficulty such as saving Chinese football has been accepted, what is so scary about a Portuguese dungeon!
Lao Tzu 180's CA, it's time to show the real technology!
