Chapter 26-Chapter 27 Being a boss requires becoming a coach ()

"Help, Alvin..."

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming called MacDonald. As soon as the phone was connected, he wailed inside, which made MacDonald nervous, thinking that Xiao Ming had committed some law and was about to ask him for help.

"What's the matter? Did you kill someone? I'll help you find a good lawyer, maybe there won't be too big a problem... But don't evade taxes, that may lead you to bankruptcy!" MacDonald said nervously that the taxes in the UK are very high, and you have to pay taxes to buy a hamburger. Cars are very cheap, but oil is expensive, insurance is expensive, and road taxes are expensive, which also makes most middle-class people rarely own private cars. High taxes will inevitably lead to severe punishment for tax evasion. In this regard, the UK is very similar to the United States. In the United States, if you hire a better lawyer after killing, you may not be sentenced to heavy sentences, but if you evade taxes, the consequences will be very serious. Escape from a dollar of tax and evading one million yuan are equal in charge. There was an example of a millionaire who was fined for evading taxes for thousands of dollars.

Although Britain is not as extreme as the United States, the punishment for tax evasion is also quite serious. Related to Xiao Ming's identity as a Chinese, MacDonald instinctively thought about whether he would have made this mistake.

"Stop kidding, Alvin." Xiao Ming said angrily. Although he is Chinese, he has been in the United States for more than 30 years in his previous life and would not make such a mistake: "It's already July 18th now, and the league is about to start in one month. The team will be concentrated in less than ten days. Our club has no head coach yet. I don't want to stay in the UK and C for more than one year."

"Oh, it's this." McDonald breathed a sigh of relief: "What, boss, do you have no candidate for a head coach?"

Xiao Ming sighed: "If you have it, you don't have to call you for help. I've been busy with other things some time ago and ignored this matter. Do you have any good candidates to recommend? You don't need to be too high, just be familiar with the English and C League, and have the ability to lead the team."

"I know a few coaches who are idle at home," MacDonald hesitated, "but their level is just average, and they won't be better than me."

"Damn, it's not that hell, right?" Xiao Ming said depressedly. He did not doubt whether McDonald's words would be untrue. McDonald's personality does not seem to be someone who would do this. Moreover, since he is an assistant coach, he will not break the club's stage. Since he said that those coaches are not better than him, Xiao Ming gave up the idea of ​​letting those coaches try it, otherwise it might cause McDonald's dissatisfaction.

Just as he was so depressed that he was about to hang up the phone, he heard McDonald hesitate on the other end of the phone: "Actually... I have another idea."

Just as if he had caught a life-saving straw, Xiao Ming hurriedly asked, "What are your thoughts? Tell me."

"My idea is not very mature... It's like that. Actually, I think it's better to just let you do it instead of having to find a coach in a hurry! Didn't you direct the last few games last season? We won five wins and one draw in six games. Your ability to boost morale in the locker room and judge the situation on the court will not be worse than that of the average coach at the League Two level. At the same time, your identity can effectively intimidate the players in the locker room. As far as I know, many young players regard you as their idol."

"I'm dizzy!"

Xiao Ming sweated for a while and felt that McDonald's proposal was a bit incredible, because he used to think that coaches were not something that ordinary people could do. Although he played football manager games very well, the game was a game after all, and there was a huge gap with reality. But think about it, he did a good job in commanding the team last season. At least the six games he specifically commanded were five wins and one draw. No coach in Leiden Oriental has been able to lead the team to such a high winning rate in the past few seasons in the League Two.

Xiao Ming hesitated and asked: "But I don't have a coaching qualification certificate."

McDonald laughed at the other end of the phone: "Stop kidding, boss, the FA has no rigid regulations in this regard. It has happened that the chairman served as the head coach in the British C game before. Even in the Premier League, it is not uncommon for a person without a coaching qualification certificate to be a head coach."

Xiao Ming was sweating again. Although he was a Chinese who grew up in London on the surface, he was the Chinese-American at heart. In the birthplace of modern football, there are many incredible things in the football circle, such as those team doctors who are worth tens of millions of pounds who are not even able to distinguish between fractures and strains every day. For example, the FA, the highest organization of English football, has extremely limited restrictions on any club, and they cannot even stipulate that the head coach of professional clubs must

Having a coaching qualification certificate - Moyes and Pierce did not have a formal coaching qualification certificate when they started their coaching career. Although the FA stipulated this, the club had to deal with this regulation very simply - they asked a person with a coaching qualification certificate to serve as the nominal head coach, but in fact, the person who commanded on the sidelines was someone without a coaching qualification certificate. Even if the whole world knew this, the newspaper reports would think that the person with a qualification certificate was the head coach, but the FA had no choice.

After figuring this out, Xiao Ming began to become interested in this character.

He has nothing to do next. He is planning to buy all the funds in his hand into Microsoft's stocks. Since the EU accused Microsoft of monopoly in the computer industry, the price of stocks circulating in Microsoft this year has been relatively low. Xiao Ming clearly remembers that just this year, Microsoft reached a settlement with the EU, and Microsoft will launch Windows 95 next year. By then, Microsoft's stock will reach a maximum of more than 100 US dollars per share, several times more than now. For such stocks, you only need to hold them for a long time, and then sell them before the bursting of the Internet company's stock bubble is enough to double its own property.

So next he will become very bored, and being able to be a head coach is also a good choice!

"Okay, boss and coach are boss and coach!" Xiao Ming laughed haha: "Alvin, then you have to help me well and teach me how to be a real football coach! I am still a standard coaching rookie now!"

"That's my duty, boss." MacDonald replied naturally.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ming was so excited that he turned around for several circles before calming down. Although he couldn't teach players training and didn't have the energy to collect opponents' intelligence, what did his subordinates do? They just do these trivial matters! All he had to do was to boost the players' morale and guide the game in a adaptable way. Xiao Ming still had some experience in these two points.

"Yes, it's boring to be a boss!"

After turning all the extra funds on his hands into Microsoft stocks, Xiao Ming came to the club with confidence. After sitting down in the swivel chair in his office, Xiao Ming felt a little different.

Hehe, should Miss Ella change the sign at the door of the office and change the "Chairman's Office" to "Chairman and Head Coach Office"? That's so awesome. No matter how awesome the head coach is, he will have a bad relationship with the boss. The player he wants is not here but a player he doesn't want is stuffed, but who the hell dares to trip me up? I am the boss of the club. I buy whatever people want, and send someone to the court. Other clubs may have players who are dissatisfied with the head coach and go against the head coach. In Leiden East, hehe, who dares to do this, get out of here!

Forget it, I won’t change the brand. I’m low-key, low-key. People always have to accumulate some character. I’m too arrogant and God will not be able to see it.

Xiao Ming, who was originally forty years old, has a very calm personality. Although he usually plays crazy when he should play, he is known for his calmness, coldness and calmness at work. Otherwise, he would not have been able to make such a big family business with bare hands. However, after his physical condition returned to twenty-four years old, his mentality seemed to have become much younger, and even began to smile foolishly in the office without any image.

After smirking for a while, Xiao Ming felt that he should do something. The league will start in only one month, and the team's pre-season training will begin in more than ten days. Although he does not think there will be anything difficult to play in the English-C League, it may not work if the team does not increase its strength.

How to start? Xiao Ming thought about it and followed the method he used to play football manager, first figure out who was in his team, and then see if there were any players worth buying. Thinking of his current situation, Xiao Ming couldn't help but sweat.

I called Miss Ella and asked her to go to the transfer department first, take some recent transfer situations, and then go to find McDonald, ask McDonald to get a copy of the current first-team players, and finally took all the news feedback from the scouts sent out more than two months ago and browsed them together.

First, we are close friends, and then we are close friends. We will discuss with MacDonald what other flaws there are in the current lineup, and then screen out suitable players from the information fed back by the scouts.

In the past two months, the club's operation has not stopped. It has to be said that the team left by Old Wood is quite efficient. Before going into seclusion to practice the money-making method, Xiao Ming also gave a simple instruction to the club. Among all the members of the first team, except McGrady, Wilkinson and Hilton, other players are allowed to discuss personal conditions with those clubs as long as the club has a price that is affordable. Some players with expired contracts will be screened by McDonald. Those who feel that their abilities are acceptable will be renewed, and those who do not meet the team's requirements will be terminated. At the same time, except Wilkinson and Hilton, all other players over 30 years old will be thrown into the transfer market. In the new season, Leiden East will not support a first-team with more than 30 people.

This is inconsistent with the tradition of Leiden Oriental. Although Leiden Oriental is just a small team, their way of treating players is quite gentle, which makes Leiden Oriental have a good reputation among low-level players and also makes Leiden Oriental aroused laziness in Leiden Oriental team. After all, people are lazy and hateful. This is not only the bad nature of people in a certain country, but also the commonality of most humans.

But now, under the new Leiden East led by Xiao Ming, it will never happen again!

Miss Ella sent some information about the player's transfer and leaving. MacDonald was still sorting out the information about the good seedlings in the first team and the youth team. Xiao Ming looked around and it made him very satisfied. The outstanding performance of Leiden Oriental in the last season made most of the players among them favored by some English League Two teams. Casso transferred to Stockport Port, and the transfer fee was 100,000 pounds, which is a pretty good number. The veteran striker Kelly, who scored four goals in the final stage, transferred to Luton, with a transfer fee of 20,000 pounds, and there were four other players who left the transfer. The departure of these six players brought Leiden Oriental in a transfer income of 210,000 pounds, which is quite good for a British-C team.

The young forward McGrady, who performed well in the final stage, has also been favored by many English League Two teams. However, the transfer department member instructed by Xiao Ming directly labeled McGrady as a "non-sale product". McGrady himself was unwilling to leave Leiden East, and with his performance last season, it was impossible for a higher-level team to like him.

During this period, McDonald was not idle either. Six young players who were considered incapable of playing in the top league were loaned on loan, terminated on loan, and two veterans announced their retirement, three veterans were put on the transfer list. The Leiden Oriental first team, which had a whopping 34 players, suddenly shrank sharply to 17 players, and making up for it was an urgent matter.

There are only four main players that have been confirmed this season. Although goalkeeper Hilton and midfielder Wilkinson are already very old, their experience is urgently needed by Leiden Oriental. They will each occupy a main position in the new season, while the other two young players, guards, Otno and forward McGrady, have shown good abilities and should be able to occupy the main position. In other positions, the existing players in the team seem to be unable to meet Xiao Ming's standards.

Xiao Ming is used to using a parallel midfield formation. In his mind, the ideal midfield combination is a pure defensive midfielder and a central defender with both offense and defense, and then two wing forwards who can be midfield and sidelined. Of course, this idea is only theoretical. You must know that even those most outstanding giants may not be able to come up with such a combination - the defensive midfielder is of course veteran Wilkinson, and the central defender with both offense and defense, Xiao Ming also has a suitable candidate in his heart. As for the two wing forwards, let's see what suitable players are in the information fed back by the scouts.
Chapter completed!
