Chapter 237: Those who like it don't want to come, those who want to come don't like it
Chapter 237: Those who like you don’t want to come, those who are willing to come are not favored
Hilton really didn't brag. He was a man with a bad temper and ambition when he was a player. Although his mentality became a little calm after he got older, his iron fist side began to show off after he became the head of the transfer department. Under his management, the transfer department was extremely efficient, even higher than that of the Ministry of Commerce and Development and the Ministry of Finance.
In response to Xiao Ming's left-back, attacking the three positions of midfielder and forward, Hilton quickly selected a few of the list selected by his subordinates for Xiao Ming to choose from.
"The left-back is selected for five. One, Christian Zieg, German, 27 years old, German international, performed poorly in AC Milan in the first two seasons. I heard that Milan is preparing to clean him up. He is not old and famous enough, and he is more likely to buy it. The only thing I worry about is whether he can recover from his poor performance in Italy. Evaluation, top. Two, Ian Hart, Irelander, 22 years old. Last season, Leeds United's main player, the free kick was quite outstanding, which can make up for the dilemma of our team's few free kicks. The shortcomings, the speed is not fast, the assist means are single, and Leeds may not be willing to let him go, and he may not want to leave Leeds, Evaluation, middle. Three, Vincent Candela, Frenchman, 26 years old, assist
A full-back with strong offensive ability, playing for Rome meets our requirements, but Roma may not be willing to let go. It is not easy to grab a person from the Serie A team. Evaluation, middle and upper. Four, Gareth Barry, Englander, 18 years old, had a very outstanding performance at Aston Villa last season, young and hardworking, produced by Aston Villa youth training. Disadvantages, last season, his position was the left position in the middle of the three defenders, with average assist ability. I don’t know if it meets our technical characteristics. At the same time, the speed is slow. Evaluation, middle and fifth, Michelle Sylvester, Frenchman, twenty-two years old, can play left and center back. Last season, he performed in Inter Milan and can win at a low price. His fame is average, average assist ability is average, average assist ability is average, evaluation is middle and lower."
"The midfielder is six. One, Pavel Nedved, 26 years old, Czech, famous, active in running, able to attack and defend, and excellent long-range shooting. Last season, he was not valued at Lazio and could sign. He had the disadvantage, because we defeated Lazio last season, and Lazio may not be willing to do business with us. At the same time, Lazio's head coach Eriksson seems to have begun to fall in love with this player. Lazio, who is preparing to attack the Serie A championship in the new season, is unlikely to let go of a main substitute, comment, and go.
2. Laurent Robert, 24 years old, Frenchman, typical winger, skill and speed, good free kicks, defects, can only play on the left, with average organizational ability, evaluation, middle and upper. 3. Damien Duff, 20 years old, Irish, performed well in Blackburn last season, fast speed and strong breakthrough ability, defects are the same as Robert, can only play on the wing, with average organizational ability, evaluation, middle and upper. 4. Gianluca Zanbrotta, 22 years old, Italian, a rookie emerging in Serie A,
He can play on both sides, run actively, and has good defensive ability. He has a flaw. Juventus seems to be interested in this player. At the same time, young Italian players are unwilling to play abroad. The possibility of buying is low, evaluation, medium. Five, Juninho Paulista, twenty-six years old, Brazilian, with excellent skills, strong organizational ability, rich imagination, and flaws. He is not easy to accept the substitute position. At the same time, his slow speed and rhythm may slow down our offensive rhythm. At the same time, he has suffered several serious injuries.
The physical condition is worrying, Evaluation, Zhong. Six, Joe Cole, 18 years old, Englander, made his mark at West Ham United last season, with excellent skills, and is one of the few technical geniuses among English players. He can play on the left and middle positions. He is young, can accept substitute positions, defects, not fast, not very good physical, and has poor confrontational ability. At the same time, West Ham United may not be willing to sell people to us, but it is precisely because of this that poaching people from West Ham United will make our fans very happy. Evaluation, Evaluation."
"Five forwards are selected. One, Thierry Henry, twenty-two years old, Frenchman, fast speed, excellent skills, and not weak impact. Last season, he performed at Juventus, but has a lot of potential, and the possibility of signing him is also very high. He is the type we lack. It is said that Arsenal is also pursuing him. If we want to buy, we have to start faster. Evaluation, top. Two, David Trezege, twenty-two years old, Frenchman, tall and excellent point-catching ability. He performed stably and excellently in Monaco in the first two seasons, with a relatively high goal rate. The disadvantages are overlapping with Van Nie and Phillips's characteristics. His personal skills are average. He is a player who can seize opportunities but not create opportunities. Evaluation, middle and upper. Three, Davao Suk, thirty-one, Croatian, World Cup Golden Boot, although he is a little older,
It is still in good condition. It is difficult for Real Madrid to play as a main player. If Boban comes forward, he can win him at a very low price. At the same time, his skills and experience can help our forward line, positioning, main substitute, evaluation, mid-4, Enrique Chiesa, 29 years old, Italian, shadow forward, excellent skills, and performed well in Parma last season. If he is willing to develop outside of Italy, there is a high possibility of winning. Evaluation, Evaluation, EMI, Emile Husky, 21 years old, Englishman, a typical center with average scoring ability and strong body. He can be an important piece in tactics. He is a good replacement for Jankoler. His flaws are not necessarily willing to come to Leiden East to play a substitute. At the same time, he is an English international, and he is even more unwilling to be just a substitute. Evaluation, Evaluation, Evaluation."
After reading the sixteen players recommended by the transfer department, Xiao Ming fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and asked Hilton: "Why are the candidates for the striker either young players or veterans? Can there be a choice for the stars of the Mesozoic generation?"
Hilton smiled bitterly: "There are many stars in the Mesozoic generation... but I'm afraid none of them can be introduced, such as Vieri... I heard that Inter Milan is planning to spend 50 million US dollars to introduce him! Not to mention whether we can afford this price, Vieri will not agree to leave Italy, let alone players like Ronaldo and Batistuta... There are not many good strikers playing now, and every team is hiding like a treasure."
"Where is Andre Shepchenko who performed well in Dynamo Kiev last season?" Xiao Ming asked. Although Shepchenko's performance in England in later generations can be said to be a mess, he had already begun to decline at that time. With the current characteristics of Shepchenko, his performance in the Premier League will not be worse than in Serie A.
"We have considered this candidate. Unfortunately, the feedback is that half a season ago, Shepchenko, who had already won a straw-scoring game, would get him as long as he paid $26 million. Now Milan has bid for Dynamo Kiev, and we have no chance." Hilton replied: "But his partner Rebrov in Dynamo Kiev is also an excellent striker. Maybe we can buy him."
"He's better off. I don't think this player can adapt to the Premier League. His physical fitness is average and his psychological quality is not good." Xiao Ming flatly denied this proposal. He knew what the Ukrainian's performance in the Premier League later - it was very appropriate to describe it as high salary and low energy: "I don't need Zieg. His peak period has passed and it will be difficult to recover in the future. A player like him who has been established in a technical manner will be difficult to recover once his condition declines. Sylvester doesn't need it. He is best at the position of the central defender. We don't need such a player, otherwise it's better to leave Karaze or Upson Juninho. He is too fragile. At the same time, his technical characteristics do not meet our requirements. Trezege doesn't want it. We don't need two Van Nice."
While Xiao Ming said, crossed out four names on the list and handed the list to Hilton: "The remaining players started to contact. Candela, Nedved and Henry are the first choice. If you can buy it, it will be fine even if you spend more. If Zanbrotta can come, you must buy it. This is a versatile player, and it is very useful whether you play the main player or the substitute."
Except for Candela, the four people Xiao Ming mentioned are the most favored by Hilton among the recommended players, which also made Hilton very happy. After all, his work has been recognized by the boss. Although Zieg was denied, what Xiao Ming said is indeed reasonable. In addition, Zieg is more and more like a wing forward and does not seem to meet the signing requirements of Leiden East. Zanbrotta is a versatile player who can play in all positions on both wings. Of course, such a player can be fought for.
So Hilton nodded, said goodbye to Xiao Ming and went to prepare for the next work.
This time, Xiao Ming didn't plan to go around to buy people. It was fine when he was a low-level team in the past, and it also made the players feel that they were valued. If they had not played in person, at least Jinklaze, Gerrard, Boban and Deselli would not be able to be introduced. But now, as the third champion of the Premier League and the Winners Cup last season, if the chairman had to play in person, it would be a little less demeanor than a big club. This is not just a matter of face, but is related to the dignity and status of a club.
Besides, what do subordinates do? Isn’t it just used to handle specific affairs? If you do everything yourself, your subordinates will think that they don’t trust them.
Xiao Ming lived a very relaxed life in the next few days. He waited for the news from the transfer department to give back every day, but the news from the feedback made him unable to feel relaxed.
Leiden Oriental's offer to Candela was rejected by Roma. This season, Roma's city rival Lazio continued to spread money in the transfer market. Although Roma, whose popularity was overshadowed by Lazio, could not afford so much money to buy players, he would not let the main players in the team casually go. The two wings formed by Candela and Cafo are one of the sources and cores of Roma's offense. Although Hilton paid 10 million US dollars, Roma was not moved, and the players themselves were not willing to leave Serie A to play in the Premier League.
The transfer work of Ian Hart and Gareth Barry has also been hindered. Leeds is an ambitious team. Their chairman wants to create a strong giant, and he is even more unwilling to sell the main players to competitors who are qualified for the Champions League next season. The same is true for Aston Villa. Like Candela, Hart and Barry are unwilling to leave and train their own team. In no case, Hilton contacted Inter Milan. Inter Milan agreed to sell Sylvester to Leiden Oriental, but Manchester United also fell in love with this player. In addition, Leiden Oriental's intention to buy Sylvester was not strong, and Sylvester was snatched away by Manchester United.
In the midfield, Robert demanded the main position, which Hilton could not promise. Jin Kraze was the captain of the team. Not to mention him, even Xiao Ming could not agree to this request. Duff also demanded the main position. Xiao Ming, who was not particularly catching a cold for these two players, instructed Hilton to give up these two goals. Hilton began to focus all his attention on Zambrota and Nedved. Zambrota can not only serve as the left back, but also become the first substitute for the two wing forwards. Nedved can take turns to play with Boban. At the same time, his development prospects are much greater than Boban. However, the price of 8 million pounds Hilton impressed Barry, but it did not impress the gea agency that Zambrota belongs to - this agency in which Moji works for brought Zambrota to Juventus. How much is the transfer fee? - 7 million pounds!
"See his living ghost! The water in Italy is so fucking deep." After receiving the news, Xiao Ming cursed angrily. In fact, this situation is not uncommon in England. For example, the sons of Ferguson, Paul Hart (the future Nottingham Forest coach), Venables, Old Redknapp and others have all worked as agents, but there may be only one mafia-style brokerage firms like Gea that controls almost half of Italian players.
In desperation, Leiden East began to chase Nedved with all its might. Lazio has introduced many players this season and sold many players. Their finances are under great pressure. When Xiao Ming instructed Hilton to offer Nedved with 20 million US dollars, Cranioti was moved.
But in the end, Eriksen and Nedved jointly prevented the transfer. Eriksen said: "We have sold Vieri. If we sell any important player, we may miss the Serie A championship in the new season." Nedved said: "I don't want to leave Italy. I'm living here well. I encountered some difficulties last season, but I will solve these difficulties in the new season... I'm even more unwilling to go to a team that just defeated us not long ago."
At the same time, the statements of Lazio fans also forced Cranioti to carefully consider this issue. They firmly disagree with selling the players to Leiden Oriental, which took away their Winners Cup championship. Every day, fans go to the goal of Lazio club to protest. In the end, Cranioti had to refuse the offer proposed by Leiden Oriental, although this price made them very moved.
On the forward line, when Leiden Oriental was preparing to introduce Henry, they found that they were also facing a strong opponent - Arsenal, who had just lost Anelka, was preparing to buy Henry as a substitute. Although Juventus wanted to sell Henry, they were happy to raise the price when they saw two teams fighting for the player, watching the two sides compete for crazy competition...
Chiesa was unwilling to leave Italy. Although he seemed to be outdated in the eyes of others, he was still unwilling to leave Italy. Italian players of this era basically had this problem. So when Florence, who had lost Edmunddo, extended an olive branch to him, he agreed to the invitation of Purple Lily without hesitation - Florence is also qualified to participate in the Champions League in the new season, and Leiden Oriental has no advantage in this regard.
Looking at the feedback from Hilton and the transfer department staff, Xiao Ming could only smile bitterly. It was not that he was reluctant to let go of money. In fact, there was no limit on the transfer funds he prepared this season. As long as it was the players he needed, he would be willing to pay any more money. But now Leiden East has an embarrassing situation, that is, the players they like may not be willing to come to Leiden East, and the players who are easy to introduce may not be able to like Leiden East.
Although he won the third Premier League and the Winners Cup last season, in the eyes of most players, Leiden Oriental is still just a small club, even if they can participate in the new season's Champions League - Leiden Oriental's performance last season was indeed very good, but in the history of European football, there are not many dark horses that have created such results, but not many can continue. When playing for the year, the stars naturally don't have to worry about going to, and there are no need to take risks on Leiden Oriental. Of course, there are many players who are willing to come, and there are many more players than before. However, for Xiao Ming, he will only consider it unless he can make up for the shortcomings of the lineup and the strength of the main players of Leiden Oriental is significantly higher than that of the current Leiden Oriental players. However, such players are difficult to buy.
This situation is embarrassing - the players who want to be unwilling to come, and the players who are willing to come look down on them - Leiden Oriental's performance last season was easily seen as a flash in the pan. If you attract high salaries, you may be able to buy several superstar-like figures, but doing so will inevitably affect the team's salary structure and the stability of the locker room. Xiao Ming is unwilling to break the basic framework of the entire team for some superstars - this is a framework that he has built several years. What he wants is a supplement to check for omissions, rather than a total of changes.
