At the end of the day's training, Takeshi Okada, who returned home, did not rest, he was watching the footage of Suzuka Infinity's away win over Nagasaki Aggressive in the first round.

But looking at him, he began to worry in his heart, because he saw that Suzuka Infinity was a strong opponent, especially their midfield, the five-man midfielder composed of two strong backs was like a meat grinder to shred the rhythm of the game, and then constantly forced the opponent to make mistakes. And the ace midfielder Kazuyuki Toda in his hand was still injured.

Kazuyuki Toda's inspection report has come out, and he has a sprained ankle and will have to be suspended for at least half a month. This means that Kazuyuki Toda will miss the second and third rounds of the league.

Although he is at the end of his career, Kazuyuki Toda's ability and experience are there, so it is not too difficult for him to participate in a league at the JFL level, plus he is very self-disciplined, and his physical energy is also very good after recovering from training, so he should be the player Takeshi Okada relies on the most this season.

This Imabari FC team has been formed for too short a time, and Takeshi Okada has inherited too little from Imabari FC last season after taking over the formation of the team and through loan and poaching people.

Kazuyuki Toda is not without substitutes, No. 13 Kazuki Okayama and No. 16 Jiro Suzuki are his substitutes, but their ability is a real amateur player compared to Kazuyuki Toda.

Forwards Lin Hong and Daisuke Yoshii are both super responsive types, they need someone in the midfield who can get the ball, preferably a control midfielder who can quickly divide the ball with the ball in the backcourt, and Kazuyuki Toda is the best candidate.

Although Kazuyuki Toda did not score a goal in the 8-0 victory in the first game, Takeshi Okada knows how much of a role he plays in this, and it can be said that in addition to Lin Hong, who scored 6 goals, Kazuyuki Toda's role is more important than Daisuke Yoshii, who scored twice.

But with the injury of Kazuyuki Toda, how Imabari FC dealt with Suzuka Infinity who played 4231 is the biggest problem for Takeshi Okada.

Takeshi Okada has no doubts about promotion this season, even if Kazuyuki Toda is injured, he can get through it, but his goal is not JFL at all, he wants to build a team that can play in the professional league this season.

Therefore, Imabari FC must buy another midfielder, not to mention that the strength is stronger than Kazuyuki Toda, but it must be stronger than those two substitutes, and it must be as soon as possible, because there are still 8 days left to close the transfer window.

In addition to deciding to buy, Takeshi Okada also has to consider how to line up for the next away game, although he has the best attacking line in the entire JFL, but his midfield is about fast balls and smooth passing, and he can't imagine how miserable they will be away from home without Kazuyuki Toda's rhythm control.

Dealing with a meat grinder team with heavy players in the midfield, Takeshi Okada certainly knows what to do, but that is not a long-term solution, and once the players are not in good shape, he can only passively adjust.

Fortunately, he still has a week to adjust, and he has time to make changes to the lineup, and he has thought of the key candidate for the change of formation, that is, Lin Hong.

As soon as I thought of Lin Hong, Takeshi Okada, I had another headache.

Damn the Japanese Football Association, damn Japanese law, why is the legal age of majority 20 years old, you go to the street and see where the current sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school students have a child. And if you go to high school, you don't count as child labor, what kind of truth is this, cover your ears and steal the bell? So why are many 18-year-old girls who haven't gone to high school able to go to the sea, but why can't they play football, just because Ivy pays more taxes?

Takeshi Okada was very helpless, Lin Hong did not have a full year of high school experience, and his age was not up to standard, these were irresistible factors, and he couldn't bypass these to sign a professional contract with Lin Hong.

But now there are two J2 and three J3 teams to test him, and as Lin Hong's game gets better and better, there will definitely be more teams to shoot, and even those J1 league giants will shoot soon.

Although they can't sign a professional contract with Lin Hong, what can Imabari FC, which is now in the JFL League, do to compete with those giants?

Money? The sponsorship fee of a brand of a giant team may be the revenue of Imabari FC for the whole year, and the two are not on the same level.

Playing time? Japanese football attaches great importance to the cultivation of young players, as long as they are excellent players, there is always no shortage of playing time, look at the J1 League, which team does not have main players around 20 years old, and they can participate in many games, as long as Lin Hong is good enough, he can play no fewer games than staying in Imabari FC.

As for the player's personal development, Takeshi Okada is even less competitive. The best-case scenario for Imabari FC is to be promoted to the J1 League after 3 years, and then have a chance to challenge for the league title.

Three years is not an unaffordable wait for young players, but the key is that no one wants to wait in a non-top league, let alone a talented player like Lin Hong.

The only thing Imabari FC can rely on now is a three-year contract for reserve players, but the binding force and 10 million yen in liquidated damages are a joke in Takeshi Okada's eyes. It's not that he doesn't want to make the liquidated damages higher, but the Japanese Football Association's regulations on reserve player contracts are like this, and 10 million yen is already the highest level of compensation.

Although Takeshi Okada is Lin Hong's bole and brought him from a sports school student to Japan for training, this kindness does not require Lin Hong to regard his career as a reward, and Takeshi Okada can't be so shameless when he asks himself.

Although he didn't want to admit it, although his heart was full of pain, Takeshi Okada had clearly realized that sooner or later, Lin Hong would not be able to stay.

Takeshi Okada is not only a head coach now, he is also the owner of the club and a businessman, so how to make the most profit before Lin Hong's transfer is rational. With Lin Hong's current growth rate, Takeshi Okada knew that there was not much time left for him to operate.

Fortunately, Lin Hong has a certain sense of belonging to Imabari FC, but this is not enough, it must be strengthened, and the treatment outside the contract should also be given as much as possible, only in this way can he have an advantage in the subsequent negotiations, you must know that a player's idea or sentence can often decide a lot of things when negotiating the transfer of professional players.

……

Daisuke Yoshii went home tonight, so Lin Hong was left alone. Just after watching the video of Suzuka Infinity's game, Lin Hong had the same trouble as Takeshi Okada.

Although the infinite strength of this Suzuka is not as good as Imabari FC, their dispatch is very distinctive, and it is also the main means of dealing with passing and sending teams in European football in recent years, that is, hoarding a large number of sapper-type players in the midfield and backfield, and putting one or two fast strikers in front.

Without Kazuyuki Toda's weightlifting scheduling, Lin Hong is not optimistic that this game will be a big ball, and even if he wins, it will be difficult to chop melons and vegetables like the first game.

That's terrible.

The more the merrier is three goals away, he only has two games to play, and if he can't score in the second game, the pressure will be very high in the third. If there is another problem in the third game, Lin Hong will definitely go crazy if he loses the skill of "Barty Gol" in vain.

The safest thing is to complete the task in the second game, and if you can't do it, you have to try to score goals to relieve the pressure in the third game.

Lin Hong believes Takeshi Okada will solve the problem, but he is wondering what he can do to get closer to goal and get more space and shots.

After a sleepless night, Lin Hong got up at 6:30 the next day for morning exercises.

Lin Hong didn't think so about the harassment of other professional teams yesterday, because this season Imabari FC will not let him go, and he has only played a game now, even if it is not the time to talk about a transfer with other teams, he believes that there will definitely be more people who come to him at the end of the season, and the price is definitely better.

Of course, the most important thing about Lin Hong's lack of contact with them is not the strange goods, but because of the contract.

Both the Japanese Football Association and the Japanese Labor Code stipulate that players are not allowed to enter into any agreements privately with other clubs during the contract period (including reserve player contracts), otherwise the club can punish the player.

Lin Hong is now in the honeymoon period with Imabari FC, and he also likes this small city, and he doesn't want to do anything to hurt Imabari FC and Takeshi Okada, so it is right to refuse to meet in private.

Guilaoshan Park became a little lively today, and several middle-aged people with cameras were hiding at first, but after seeing that Lin Hong didn't mind, they swaggered around Lin Hong.

Because Takeshi Okada has expressed his protest against other clubs through the Japanese Football Association, and Lin Hong has put on a face that no one can get close to, so these scouts did not come up to talk today, but just wanted to explore as much information as possible about Lin Hong.

However, just when Lin Hong was about to finish his morning exercise in Guilaoshan Park, a short and thin middle-aged man in a suit and a windbreaker walked over, Lin Hong was startled when he first saw him, because this guy's eyes were sunken and puffy, his skin was pale like a zombie, and his body looked hollowed out.

"I'm sorry, but I have a contract and I can't have any private contact with any club other than Imabari FC."

Lin Hong hurriedly expressed his attitude, in case the other party came to fish for law enforcement or there was a hidden camera, Lin Hong's words could play a role.

The short and thin middle-aged man squinted and smiled, bowing down to look extremely humble and flattering, somehow Lin Hong felt that this guy was like the character of Qin Lou's big teapot in the TV series.

"Don't get me wrong, Akira Shimofuda is not a scout or a club representative, I am an entertainment affairs agent and a sports affairs agent. I heard that Lin Hongjun still doesn't have an agent, so I came here to see what can serve you. ”

Entertainment Affairs Broker? Lin Hong, who is not a professional football agent, is not considered. Although he was a little curious about the other party's entertainment affairs, this guy's performance was too low, and Lin Hong always felt that he would be sold.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to hire an agent for the time being."

Lin Hong's tone was very resolute, and he turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't want to see that the hollowed out body was quite flexible, Gutian Mingliang suddenly ran in front of Lin Hong again, and there was still a flattering smile on his face that you wanted to reward him with two taels of silver.

"I've heard that you hardly go out during the day, only in the morning for morning exercises, so I drove from Tokyo overnight and haven't slept for a while. Can you give me a chance to sit down with you to a noodle restaurant and eat a bowl of hot noodles, and then talk about your future! ”

Gutian Mingliang is really a talent, and he speaks well, Lin Hong unconsciously wants to go with him, but after all, he is not an ignorant little girl, he can't fool him by watching goldfish and lollipops, and of course noodles can't do it, so he quickly broke off the idea of going with him.

"I'm really sorry Mr. Furuta, thank you for coming from Tokyo for me, choosing an agent is a big deal, I have to think carefully, and I have to discuss it with my seniors first!"

Lin Hong politely explained to Gutian Mingliang that the excuse was also reasonable.

Furuta Mingliang smiled on his face, he bowed ninety degrees and sent out a business card with both hands, such a big gift Lin Hong is not easy to refuse, so he also took the business card with both hands, this is the cultivation of Chinese, the gift cannot be lost.

After saying goodbye to Furuta Mingliang and nodding with a few other scouts, Lin Hong left Guilaoshan Park, but he didn't see the scouts shaking their heads in disappointment.
