Chapter 213 The authority and art of the head coach
As soon as Li Zihua said this, Fang Jue immediately understood what the fat man was thinking.
It is nothing more than to introduce a Chinese player, preferably a Chinese international player, to win the attention of domestic media and fans, and to prepare for Ibiza to open up the Chinese market.
"I have no objection." Fang Jue said.
The fat man was overjoyed. He thought it would take some quarrel to convince Fang Jue because he knew that Fang Jue had very strict requirements on players, and the strength of those domestic players, although the fat man also wanted to say "very good", this was self-deception.
However, it is obvious that the fat man was too happy too early.
"As long as they can meet my basic requirements, I have no objection." Fang Jue immediately followed.
"What's the meaning?"
"I won't talk about my abilities and basic tactical qualities for now. As long as they can meet the team's physical training and game requirements, I can consider it." Fang Jue said.
"Fang Jue!" Li Zihua was angry, "If you want to refuse, just refuse directly, don't go around the corner."
Fang Jue's request is equivalent to refusal. Fang Jue emphasized physical fitness and pressing. The team's physical fitness consultant Dr. Osoralana tailored the physical fitness training for the players. The fat man couldn't understand the specific content, but he could see that this was really very intense. It was impossible for domestic players to bear and receive such intensity training.
...
"I think Coach Fang Jue's requirements are very reasonable," said Ms. Roberta, the sports director.
It is normal for the head coach to require the players to meet his tactical and training requirements.
Li Zihua snorted in disappointment and said nothing.
"Fang Jue, you can't lower your requirements." The fat man said a little angry.
"Why should I lower my requirements?" Fang Jue was also angry. "As a head coach, the most important principle is to treat everyone equally. This is the most basic principle for the head coach to win the trust and support of players! I will not lower my requirements for certain reasons now, nor will I in the future!"
Fang Jue said angrily, loud and loud.
"We can't be a little more comfortable. As long as we lower the requirements, there will be many players in China willing to come out to gilt." Li Zihua said unhappy.
"I am the head coach, my team is not Shantang."
"We can't be able to be more comfortable with our fellow players."
"Ha, please!" Fang Jue was angry, "Are my requirements too much? I didn't ask them to have any tactical qualities, and I didn't mention basic skills. I just asked them to strictly complete physical training requirements like everyone else and have the spirit of fighting. Is this too much?"
Li Zihua looked at Fang Jue angrily, and he was so angry.
"It is impossible without harmony!" Fang Jue said. Fang Jue, who was very angry, suddenly turned his hand to Miss Papa, "It is my compatriot, I must be harmonious? That is irresponsible to the team and irresponsible to everyone. Ha, if I marry Papa in the future, I have a son-in-law, will I also lower my requirements for all Spanish players?"
"You, you are making a point!" Li Zihua was so angry.
...
"What did you say just now?" Miss Papa's eyes shone, stared at Fang Jue and asked.
"Ahhh" Fang Jue was stunned and waved his hand, "It's nothing, just give an example. If you don't like it, I..."
"I don't mind." Miss Papa seemed to be watered by holy water, and her whole body seemed to be shining with a bright light of happiness. Then she looked at the club's vice chairman Li Zihua, "I think the coach is right. The coach has basic requirements for his players, which is his right."
The fat man glanced at Miss Papa, whose eyes were glowing, and then looked at Fang Jue, who was angry and frustrated. The man and woman actually fed dog food in front of her at this time.
"I suggest we all calm down," said Ms. Roberta, the sports director.
After a moment of silence, Li Zihua continued, "Okay, domestic players won't consider it for the time being. So, how about introducing a young international player who plays in a giant team?"
"Dong Fangfang?" Fang Jue immediately thought of a name.
"Yes, how about it?"
"You can consider it, but can he accept being the fourth striker in the team?"
"How is that possible?" Li Zihua said, "To be honest, I asked someone to contact Dong Fangfang's agent before. The other party was very interested in joining Ibiza, but the salary required was not low. Of course, this is nothing. The most important thing is that they only agreed to rent..."
"It's okay to rent." Fang Jue nodded. He was unwilling to leave the giant Manchester United. Fang Jue shook his head secretly. He didn't know much about Dong Fangfang's situation, but it was extremely difficult to get more opportunities in Manchester United, or even gain a foothold. Since that's the case, it's better to jump out of Manchester United, a giant Manchester United and find a European club that can play football. This is the wisest choice.
Obviously, the players themselves still cannot let go of the burden of the giants.
Fang Jue didn't mind this. He just wanted to temporarily introduce a forward to strengthen the thickness of the bench, and it was not impossible to rent it.
"Listen to me to finish my words"
"you say!"
"Dong Fangfang also asked to ensure that he played the main force..."
"Impossible!" Fang Jue vetoed, "Lewandowski and Aubameyang's position is unshakable! Dong Fangfang is here and can only be a substitute!"
"Dong Fangfang is a player who played in the Champions League! He can't play the main player in Ibiza?" Li Zihua said.
Almost a month ago, on January 13, 2007, the final round of the UEFA Champions League Group F began, with Manchester United dating Roma 1-1 away.
In the 7th minute of the game, Manchester United godfather Ferguson replaced the team captain Rooney with Dong Fangfang, and Dong Fangfang also became the first Chinese player to appear in the European Champions League after Sun Xiang. Domestic media were excited and various exciting reports were reported.
"I don't look at that. I have my own employment requirements. He can start from the bench and want the main position and strive for it by himself." Fang Jue's attitude was very tough.
"This is impossible, the opponent cannot accept it. That is a player from the giant Manchester United."
"I care about his wealthy family. This is my team. I have my requirements and principles for employing people!" Fang Jue responded without hesitation. The transfer rights and the right to use players are Fang Jue's bottom-line principle. He will never allow anyone to get involved.
"You" Li Zihua was so angry, "Are you the boss or me?"
"You are." Fang Jue was not polite, "But I am the head coach. This is within the scope of my job responsibilities. I have my persistence and principles."
...
In the end, the meeting ended badly, Fang Jue insisted on his opinion and introduced Chinese players. It was not impossible. He had to meet his requirements, be able to undergo strict physical training, be determined to work hard, be able to withstand the bench, and the salary must be within a reasonable range.
This is equivalent to a veto!
in the country, if you have a high salary, you don’t have to work hard. So Bashi, who would be willing to come to Ibiza to endure hardships?
Fang Jue is not rejecting his compatriots. If there are suitable players, with a positive attitude, willing to endure hardships, and able to train and play honestly, he is naturally willing to accept it. After all, he is also his own compatriots. Moreover, this is also a win-win situation for both the players and Ibiza. Further, Ibiza has a Chinese background, a Chinese with a major shareholder, and the head coach is Chinese. This itself can become a platform for domestic players to develop abroad. If there are good seedlings and good players, Fang Jue is naturally willing to help train, but...
At least, Fang Jue looked down on those who have become accustomed to playing "Basic Football" in the country.
The same thing is said, it is willing to give up money and interests, be willing to improve your football level, be willing to endure hardships, be willing to work hard from the bench, be willing... This is too difficult.
Three days later, Ibiza drew with Alaves in the 19th round of the Spanish Second Division. Ibiza took the initiative in the whole game, but if the opponent's goalkeeper had a help from him, Fang Jue had to accept a dull draw.
However, although he was tied by Alaves, after the 19th round of the league, Ibiza still ranked first in the league with 40 points, leading Malaga, who was second, Numancia, who was third, and Sporting Gijon, who was fourth, was 8 points.
...
After that unhappy meeting, Fang Jue and Fatty had never spoken, and both sides were a little angry this time.
However, on January 8, Fang Jue took the initiative to find the fat man, and he decided to give the fat man a little face.
"I can agree to introduce a Chinese player." Fang Jue said, "I don't accept it except this person!"
Li Zihua was overjoyed, took the information given by Fang Jue, looked around, and nodded, "No problem! Just follow your request!"
Then, the fat man looked at Fang Jue with some curiosity, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"You are the major shareholder and the boss. I thought about it and still want to give you a little face."
This made Li Zihua very helpful.
Fang Jue obviously bowed his head. Fang Jue had been looking for a forward, but now in order to meet his request to introduce a Chinese player, he actually chose to agree to introduce a veteran right-back.
This guy bowed his head in this way without losing his dignity.
Li Zihua is in a very good mood.
Yes, Fang Jue proposed to introduce the club to the 30-year-old Chinese defender Sun Jihai who played for Manchester City. The contract between Sun Jihai and Manchester City expires in half a year. Manchester City has announced that it will not renew the contract with Sun Jihai, so it is not difficult to introduce.
In addition, although Sun Jihai is old, his competitive level is still well maintained. Most importantly, Sun Jihai, who has played for Manchester City for six years, is the most successful example of Chinese players playing overseas and the most famous. The introduction of such a player is indeed of great help to Ibiza expanding its influence and attention in China.
"Sun Jihai is indeed good, his strength is still there, and the most important thing is his influence. This person is good." The fat man said happily.
"Yes, with Sun Jihai's competitive state, he can still get a certain chance to play in Ibiza, which is also beneficial to the players himself." Fang Jue nodded.
The fat man was in a good mood and even made Kung Fu tea himself to invite Fang Jue to drink. The two of them had a great conversation.
Finally, the vice chairman of the club also personally sent Fang Jue outside the office and was in a good mood.
Back at the head coach's office, assistant coach Sebalos said with some concern, "After Rosales is injured, we must introduce a right-back substitute as soon as possible."
"The club is ready to start the operation of signings." Fang Jue stretched, "What do you think of the backup defender of the Premier League team?"
"Of course," said Sebaslos happily. "Why don't I know when it will work."
"Ten minutes ago." Fang Jue said lightly.
