Volume 1 The Gamer in Portugal Chapter 68 Lineup Planning
The next morning, Simon King received a reply from Somu and Kiki.
After consultation with their families, the duo decided to follow his advice and move to a big team.
Although reluctant, Simon Kim is very happy for the two, because although Italy is not rich, it can at least pay them 20,000 euros a week.
Arriving at the base, Armando and Ben Yedder were already waiting here.
Simon King: "The two strikers on loan will return to their home team, plus Kiki and Shaomu, who are leaving, and we have only 19 players in the first team at the moment. ”
"How's Tyxela doing? And the Halmes Kida you mentioned earlier. Armando asked.
"It's not a big problem. Kida had already signed a contract with Gilla last night. As for Teksella, I guess that's what happened today. ”
"That's great."
Ben Yedder nodded: "But I don't quite understand why you want to buy two strikers. Although Cassiano is 32 years old, with his ability, he is fully qualified to be a substitute for Teksella. ”
Simon King: "Although Keda is a striker, I bought him here to let him play as a winger, just like Cristiano Ronaldo!" ”
"Very bold idea."
Armando nodded, but frowned, and said: "But Ronaldo is not involved in defense, which is in conflict with your containment in the front court." ”
Ben Yedder smiled: "Don't worry old man, Ronaldo can't play at both ends of the pitch because he's old, but Keda is lucky because his fitness coach is me. ”
Looking at Ben Yedder, who was becoming more and more confident, Simon King was very happy and said with a smile: "The luckiest person is obviously me!" ”
Amid the laughter of the two, King continued: "At the moment, in all positions, in addition to the left back, it is the forward midfield that needs to be strengthened. ”
Armando wondered, "Don't we still have Bonatti?" He has the skills and vision, and he can completely replace Shao Muya. ”
'It was possible, but I wanted him to play at the back. First, we are short of people in the back position. Secondly, considering that Claude Mill is 33 years old, I wanted Ponatti to stand in front of the centre-back and use his vision to distribute the ball. ”
"Good idea!"
Armando said in an appreciative tone: "Your tactic is to press the opponent at the back and then make a vertical pull with a pass. If Bonatti can play in the back, then the team has a metronome, which is a great idea. ”
Simon King: "Yes sir, I think only you can understand my thoughts. Although I would sacrifice Bonatti's ability to score by doing so. But when he retreats, he also saves himself from competing with others in front of the penalty area. ”
Ben Yedder asked: "Does that mean we need a muscular player in the midfield position? ”
"It's not ......"
Simon King: "With Bonatti's drop-back and Tyxela's strength, what we need now is a forward player who can run and have speed. Of course, if he had vision and skills, it would be even more perfect. ”
"You mean...... Our midfielder, what do you need is a shadow striker? ”
'Yes, Ben Yedder, we don't need the traditional number 10 anymore.
'Thomas Silva in the youth team, he has that potential, give him to me and I'll train him before the league starts.
Simon King, of course, knew who Ben Yedder was talking about, and in fact the young man's name was written down by him for Armando.
But the problem is that Thomas Silva has only 98 abilities and 130 potential.
Even if it is trained by Simon King himself, and then he is given the systematic skill of "targeted training", I am afraid it will not be of much benefit.
But looking at Ben Yedder with a confident face, Simon King couldn't say anything about his refusal.
"Well, it looks like there will be a star in the youth team."
At this moment, Simon King has made up his mind that even if it is for Ben Yedder, he will add valuable ability points to Thomas Silva.
Armando continued: "Nuno Moreira is a winger, but it's not bad to make a cameo as a midfielder once in a while. ”
Simon King nodded: "If that's the case, there will be no shortage of people in the team's midfield. ”
Armando said: "We still need to prepare a third striker, I think Didi of the youth team can make a living. ”
"I think the same way, if you add Teksaila and Keida, then there are 23 people in the first team."
Seeing that Simon King was always emphasizing the numbers, Ben Yedder was puzzled: "Kim, how many players do you want to have in the first team?" ”
"25."
"Then it seems that the rest of the places will be used for full-backs."
'Yes, Ben Yedder, we need two full-backs, one on the left and one on the right. Alas...... It's a pity that Kiki is gone, and the main reason why I wanted Kida to play as a point-grabbing winger is because we have Kiki. ”
Armando said: "Iron camps, flowing soldiers. Instead of complaining, it's better to find a way to do it. ”
Simon King sighed: "But the problem is that it is not easy to find a full-back who can attack and defend well. ”
Ben Yedder said: "I think we can bring in Hugo Oliveira from the youth team and after training he should be able to be used as a replacement for right-back Julio. ”
Simon King: "Yes. But the most important thing for us now is to find a replacement for Kiki. ”
"How much more transfer budget do we have?" Armando asked.
Simon King: "On the Kida side, we spent 400,000, and Teksaila estimated that we needed 300,000, so we only had 100,000. ”
"Huh? And what about the money to sell Shaomu and Kiki? Ben Yedder asked dumbfoundedly.
"It was taken by the club to pay off the debt."
"I'll go! If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have sold them. ”
Simon King smiled: "Ben Yedder, it was you who helped Armando persuade me to agree to these two deals. ”
"But I didn't expect that the club wouldn't give us a single point."
Armando interrupted: "It's a problem, it's impossible to buy a replacement for Kiki for 100,000 euros." Kim, no matter what method you use, you have to ask the club for another budget. ”
"Okay, I'll figure it out again."
Ben Yedder suddenly said: "Or, we can sell Usama Rashid, who is a striker. ”
"Nope."
Simon King shook his head and said: "I don't want to sell anyone this year, after all, I promised to take them to the Champions League. ”
"It wasn't a sane decision."
"I know what you mean, but Armando you have to understand me, if it wasn't for their support, I would have been kicked out of the team a long time ago."
"Well, I understand you. But I want to remind you that with the squad you have, it's going to be too difficult to get into the Champions League. ”
