Chapter 236: Lineup Point

"When the grades are good, there will be more hungry wolves coming up."

After hanging up the call from Hilton, Xiao Ming sighed. Leiden East's performance was brilliant last season, and players who performed particularly well and had never played in the top league before, such as Hypia, Daniel, Jinklazer, Glenshare and Phillips, have issued tentative offers. Even players like Fanny who transferred last season have made quotations, and of course Xiao Ming refused them all.

These people are guaranteed the brilliant results of Leiden Oriental last season. They have played a role that is no less than any player. The overall running-in of the entire team is quite good. It can be said that letting anyone go is a loss for Leiden Oriental.

Moreover, many of them are far from reaching their peak. A central defender like Hypia can maintain his condition for at least five years, and will only play better and better. Jin Clarze is more mature than in history and stronger. Fanny is not the king of the small penalty area in history. Glenshare is still young, and Daniel is the only local player trained by the team. He must not let go.

During this period, Xiao Ming was studying to take the Level 4 coaching qualification certificate. Compared with the previous two simple courses, this time it was much more difficult - no wonder Pierce did not succeed in taking the exam for several years - the Level 4 coaching qualification certificate was officially qualified to coach the Premier League team, and the third level could only coach the Championship team, and there was also the fifth level above the Level 4. If you get the Level 5 coaching qualification certificate, you are qualified to become a lecturer of FIFA - just like Horton, who has become the head coach of the Chinese national team, but Xiao Ming will not take the Level 5 qualification certificate. The head coach who is good at the Premier League seems to have won the Level 4 certificate at most. He coaches at the top team, and theoretical knowledge is often second.

Maybe I can't get it this summer yet, but Xiao Ming doesn't care. If I can't get it this year and then next year, I will get it - for him, the learning process is more important than what certificate I get.

This summer is relatively dull, not the seasons of the major competition year are relatively dull, the only thing that is lively is in the transfer market.

After July, all the teams began to get busy, of course the busy ones were their transfer department staff and the chairman responsible for paying money, and Leiden Oriental was no exception.

After finishing his coaching training class, Xiao Ming returned to the club to host the work before the start of the new season. Of course, the most exciting thing in the new season is the transfer, but when Xiao Ming sat down to discuss the lineup next season with his assistant coaches and Hilton, he suddenly realized that they didn't seem to have to do anything.

Now, there are only two most famous veterans in Leiden Oriental over 30. The other main players have a fairly reasonable age structure. Among the players who take the lead, Yasquelenin, Hypia, Marklele, Jinklaze, Fanny and Phillips are all between the ages of 23 and 26. It is a golden age when a player has reached his peak experience but has not yet declined. The other main players are young players in their early twenties. Such a main lineup with the Mesozoic players as the main body is basically perfect, while the substitutes are mainly veterans and young players. Veterans can be willing to be substitutes, and young players are also easily satisfied. The framework of the entire team is quite complete. Buying people at will will reduce the team's combat effectiveness.

"But if we don't buy a few stars with weight, we may be surpassed by other teams in the new season. After all, we will encounter much greater difficulties next season, and other teams will pay more attention to us," said Hilton.

"Peter's words make sense. Last season we introduced Boban and Deselli. Their strength has brought us great help and experience... But there are too many stars. Moreover, the players in the transfer market are inflated. It is not too good to buy those very famous players." Xiao Ming nodded: "We might as well think so. Through our performance last season, where are we still flaws in. Targeted signings are much better than blindly introducing players."

The assistant coaches all understand that the boss's words make sense, and they also understand that Leiden Oriental's overall lineup has actually been very perfect. The boss's buying people in the past few years was very targeted, and those younger players will grow more than last season after accumulating a season of experience.

"I don't think there is a need to buy people in the goalkeeper position. Jasquelinen is very good. Although he is not very famous, the famous goalkeepers are very valuable now. Eussie may not be the best, but it is the most suitable for us now. At the same time, Paul Gerrard is enough to be a substitute. His basic skills are also solid. With them, we don't need to worry about the goalkeeper position for a few years unless Eussie's condition suddenly declines... But in my experience, this kind of thing will hardly happen because Eussie is still very young."

Hilton was the first to speak. As a legendary goalkeeper, his experience and vision are quite unique in this regard. Moreover, Yasquelenen's performance last season was obvious to all. He was tall and long and sensitive, and was a rare and good goalkeeper.

"We don't need to worry about the position of the central defender. Although Deselli is thirty years old, his physical fitness is excellent. It is not a problem to play until he is thirty-three. Maybe he can play for a longer time. His experience and ability to organize the entire defense line are undoubtedly. Hepia and his partner are very good. Substitutes, Perth and Upson, and Carazze can also play as a central defender. This position is actually our strongest link. Five central defenders are very distinctive. Even three substitutes will not have too many problems. If it were not for the only real left-back in the team, Daniel, and Upson and Carazze can play as a left-back, I would suggest selling one of the three substitutes. Five central defenders are too luxurious, and they will not get any chance to exercise." McDonald continued.

Xiao Ming nodded, and he agreed with McDonald's view. In the past season and even the first two seasons, Perth, Upson and Carlaze generally only get the chance to play in the League Cup and the FA Cup, because for a team, the combination of central defenders is often the most stable and cannot be replaced at will. It is common for the main central defenders to play all the games. If you are not injured, it will be difficult for substitute central defenders to get the chance to play. Deselli and Hypia are players with excellent physical fitness and few injured.

"We can choose to loan one of them. They are not even twenty years old. It would be a waste if they can't play the main player in the team. Peter, if there is a suitable team to loan them and guarantee their playing time, you can consider it." Xiao Ming made the decision.

"The problem with the defender over there..." McDonald asked hesitantly.

"We will discuss this issue next." Xiao Ming smiled: "There are three full-backs in the team now - Daniel, Sun Jihai, and Finnan. Although there are only three people. Although Finnan was recuperating half of last season, we don't seem to lack staff at the full-back position. That's because we have several versatile players in the backcourt. Daniel and Sun Jihai are both able to left and right, Upson and Karaze are able to play as left and right positions, but don't forget that in fact, we have always had great shortcomings in the full-back position."

"Why do you say that?" Hilton asked in confusion.

"First, Upson and Karaze are just guest-stars for left-back after all, Karaze is better. His performance in the left-back position is not worse than that in the center back position, but Upson's performance in the left-back position is far inferior to that when he played the center back, if one of them is loaned out, our left-back position will be weaker; Second, our three authentic full-backs are actually the best position at right-back - Daniel himself started as a right-back, put him in the left-back position, and he seems a little awkward in assists, whether it is a cross or a shot, his right foot

Only then will we adapt to it. In the new season, full-back assists will occupy an increasingly important position in our offense. Putting him on the left will only make his offense less exercise. I am going to let him return to the right. Third, the second half of this year is the day of the Olympic qualifiers. Sun Jihai is the main force of the Chinese national Olympic team. He may miss a long time. We must prepare for the future. Similarly, Daniel and Finnan are now both internationals in England and Ireland. At the beginning of this season, they will have to participate in the European Cup qualifiers. Relying on the candidates last season, we will definitely often have insufficient staff."

"In other words, we have to buy at least one full-back who can play as the main player." Hilton said after thinking about it.

"A left-back who is more powerful than the current players." Xiao Ming emphasized the word left-back: "Left-back has always been our weakness and is also the hardest player to buy, otherwise I wouldn't let Daniel play in the left-back position for two seasons."

"This candidate is indeed not easy to determine." MacDonald thought hard: "Since Inter Milan let go of Robert Carlos, they have not been able to find an excellent left-back. With their fame and financial resources, it is so difficult to fill this defect in their lineup. It is difficult..."

"Zig? I heard that he didn't play well in AC Milan, and his condition was poor in the past two seasons, but he was only twenty-seven years old and might recover quickly; Robert Carlos? Unless Real Madrid's brain is in trouble. Maldini? It's even more impossible, Babayaro? I don't know if Chelsea is willing to let go..." Hilton murmured to himself, thinking about a possible candidate.

"Okay, gentlemen, we will discuss the candidates later - I want to buy a left-back, is that okay?" Xiao Ming clapped his face and said.

The assistant coaches nodded one after another. The boss had already made a thorough analysis just now. The full-back position really needs to be supplemented, and it is quite urgent to be supplemented.

"The next is the midfield." Xiao Ming said.

"I don't think there is anything wrong with our midfielder." Wilkins said: "There are Marklele, Gerald and Lenon in the midfielder position now. They are all very good. Marklele is a little better. Gerald has a bright future... Lenon can be a good substitute, not to mention Holland, a player who is willing to be a substitute. There are Glenshare, Jinklaze, Davis and Lombardo on both sides. Four people are enough. Although Boban is only one of the front midfielders, Glenshare, Jinklaze and Lombardo can play in this position, and Gerald can also play in this position. Most of our midfielders can play in two to three positions. I even think there are so many people. Maybe we should also loan Davis out to give him more experience."

"Lenon, you can get rid of it. Just two days ago, he submitted a transfer application to the club... He is only 28 years old and has not reached the retirement time. Moreover, there are many players in the team playing midfielder. He hopes to get more opportunities to play. The club has agreed to his request." Xiao Ming told Wilkins.

"The only ones who can play the midfielder are Mark Lele, Gerald and Holland. Holland's strength is a little worse, and Gerald... I think you are more willing to use him to attack by boss." Wilkins said after thinking about it.

Xiao Ming smiled: "Yes, Robbie, you have a good vision... Gerald has excellent offensive talent. Just if a midfielder buried his talent, he can definitely become a versatile offense like Keane... But there will be no problem with our midfielder position. I have talked to Lombardo. In the new season, he will be more of a substitute for the midfielder. Don't forget that he is an Italian. He often plays as a substitute at Juventus. It is enough to be a substitute."

"Then Davis can't be loaned out." Wilkins nodded: "Otherwise we will have only four people left in the offensive midfield. Four people play three positions, which is absolutely not enough, and Jinklaze and Boban will easily have no suitable substitutes."

"This really needs to be considered. Moreover, Glenshare's offensive method is a bit single, and he is not good at organizing offense. We also need to supplement players in the offensive midfield position, preferably able to play multiple positions." Xiao Ming nodded: "Remember, attack the midfielder, versatile, and have excellent strength. There are many games we have to play in the new season. The mission of the Champions League is much more important than that of the Winners Cup."

"Then the end is the forward line." Xiao Ming said.

Colin Reitz laughed: "This shouldn't be a problem... All of our four forwards are distinctive. Whether it is Van Nie Phillips who plays the main player or Jan Kohler and Robbie Keane who plays the substitute, they are capable of scoring many goals in the Premier League... Last season, our attack power was second only to Manchester United. The combined goals of Van Nie and Phillips were only less than Manchester United's York Cole."

"If no one asked for a transfer," Hilton said with a wry smile.

"Who wants to transfer?" Reitz was stunned.

"Jankolle." Xiao Ming confirmed Hilton's statement: "The reason for his transfer is the same as Lenon. He is not young anymore and he is an international player, so although he has a good time in Leiden East, he still hopes to go to a team with more opportunities to play."

The coaches were collectively silent. The two players that Leiden Oriental asked to transfer and leave this season are important substitutes. They have one characteristic: they are all international players in their years of playing. What they need is more opportunities to play, so although Leiden Oriental performed remarkably last season, they still chose to leave with fewer opportunities to play.

Young players can wait because they still have the opportunity to get the main lineup. Veterans who have passed their peak can endure the empty time on the bench because their physical fitness is not enough to play all the games, and occasionally playing can make them perform better. However, the players in the Mesozoic generation are different. A player often has only a few years at his peak, and they can't afford to waste time.

"Okay, I think our goal for this summer can be determined." Xiao Ming clapped his hands and broke the dull atmosphere. Of course, he didn't want Jankoler and Lenon to leave, because they are indeed very suitable main substitutes, but this is the case for professional teams. Every season, some people will choose to leave for various reasons, and some will choose to come for various reasons, and those who are fighting for iron camps and flowing soldiers.

"A left back who can surpass our current left back is not limited, and a legitimate attacking midfielder, the best in the left side of the middle, and the same strength is good. A forward, a skilled forward who can also play a role in a back-end place. Of course, a more famous one is better. Now we don't need any potential star. There are many potential star in our team. What I want is to play a role when I come - Peter, let the transfer department collect information feedback from scouts, give the right candidate within three days, and then we will choose together."

Xiao Ming did not directly give the candidate. Although he had a few suitable players in his mind, a club could not buy people based on his future memories alone. What's more, although he was a fan in his previous life, he was not a person who specialized in football. He knew that the future situation was limited. The scouting system and transfer departments had to play their role. He could not take everything into consideration.

Although Xiao Ming has been doing everything in recent years, there are not many things to ask him to do in person. The various departments of the Leiden Oriental Club have also been established quite well. All he has to do is coordinate tasks and then distribute the specific things to his subordinates. Otherwise, with the intensity of the work he wants to manage and pay attention to every detail, he will be exhausted.

I still have to enjoy life.

Hilton smiled and said, "No problem... two days are enough. My subordinates usually do this job, and they have information and everything else. It's enough to just identify it."
