Chapter 4 Current Status of the Team
After the press conference, Ruth took Lin Fenglei to the training ground next to the club and met his coaches and players. When Ruth introduced the identity of Lin Fenglei to the assistant coach MiroCaktas who led the team, she returned to the club. She was still very busy today.
Caquetas smiled and stretched out his right hand to Lin Fenglei: "Welcome! Mr. Lin. I'm Kakatas, your assistant coach. You can call me Miro. We will work together in the next two years. I hope we can cooperate happily!" Kacetas is a very honest middle-aged man in his 40s. Obviously, he was a little surprised by Lin Fenglei's youth, but he did not show it, and he was still very enthusiastic about Lin Fenglei. Lin Fenglei had a good impression on him, and he smiled and stretched out his right hand to hold him together: "Thank you, Mr. Caquetas. I also hope we can cooperate happily in the future!"
After the cold noise, Caquetas picked up the whistle hanging on his chest and put it in his mouth and blew it hard. The coach and players who were training on the training ground stopped and looked this way. Caquetas clapped his palms and shouted, "Come and gather!" Lin Fenglei frowned and looked at the training ground. The facilities of this training ground were very simple, which was not much better than the stadium when he was in college. He thought to himself that when he had money, he must first buy more training facilities.
It can be seen that Kakatas' prestige in the Gosho team is still very high. All the coaches and players quickly stopped training and came to the sidelines in two rows, standing in front of Kakatas. Kaquetas gave Lin Fenglei to himself and said loudly to everyone, "This is Mr. Lin Fenglei, your new head coach. Welcome!"
The applause sounded, but it was not very warm, and even a little sparse. Lin Fenglei could see some players whispering, and his eyes were shining with suspicion. However, all this was expected by Lin Fenglei. A new head coach, who was unknown before, was so young and came from China. It would be abnormal if no one questioned his ability. After the applause stopped, he smiled and said, "Thank you! I know some people doubt my ability, but I will prove it to you. Mr. Gneggi didn't invite me to lead you downgrading. I will do what I want to do, and you have to do your job, that is, train hard and compete hard!"
The applause sounded again, and this time it was obviously much warmer than last time. Most players are still straightforward men, and they still have a good impression of this young coach's straightforward opening remarks.
After meeting everyone, Lin Fenglei asked Kaquetas to continue to lead the players to train, and he watched their training by the training ground. During his training, he found several players who were obviously better than other players. He secretly opened the player list panel of the modifier. There were photos of players in the player profile, which made it very convenient for him to put all the players into the seats.
Now there are 24 players in the first team of Gosho. The age structure is very reasonable. The oldest is only 29 years old and the youngest is 18 years old, but the potential and strength are not flattering. Among the players with the highest potential, there is a 21-year-old local striker named MircoGraf, who has 118, and his skills and shots are also good, with 12 respectively. However, he was loaned from a Swiss Super League team this season. It is obviously for him to let him go to the lower league to exercise. It is impossible to buy him in the transfer budget, which makes Lin Fenglei give up on him without hesitation. He will be put in the cold this season, and Lin Fenglei will not give him a minute. After his own modification, there will be a lot of young players with higher potential than him, and they don't have enough time to exercise.
At present, the strongest one in the team is a Cameroonian central defender named Jean-pierreTcheutchoua, which is a very difficult name. It seems that African names are strange. Lin Fenglei doesn't know how to pronounce his name, so he can only call him Pires. Pires has 89 strength and 110 potentials, but he is 28 years old. At this age, he is destined to have little room for improvement. Lin Fenglei can only regard him as the current team. After a season or two, when the young central defender trained by Lin Fenglei grows up, he can only be given up.
Lin Fenglei focuses on several players under the age of 20 with good potential. One of them is 20-year-old Italian winger MichelAvanzini, who can play on both sides and left and right. The potential is 120, which is the highest in the team. The strength is also 82, and the technology and cross are both Excellent, all 14 and 11 in influence. He was regarded as his captain by Lin Fenglei. One is the 20-year-old Brazilian forward DeLima, with a potential of 92 and a strength of 76. He adheres to the tradition of excellent Brazilian players. His technology, dribbling, shooting and passing are all in 10. On the top, the imagination is even 16; the 19-year-old local winger Claudio Holenstein can also play two sides, with a potential of 81, and the cross is also good, with 12, speed and explosive power double 12. However, he is most optimistic about the 19-year-old local center Sil. vanEggmann), his height is 1.95 meters, but his skills are very delicate. His technique is 12, his shooting is 12, and his imagination has reached the highest 17 in the team. His header ability is average, only 8, and his physique is also very average, but his weight of 85 kilograms is not strong enough. What kind of freak is this? Will he be cultivated into the next Ibrahim in the future? However, Lin Fenglei still intends to strengthen his physique and cultivate him into a strong air-dominating center in the future. It would be better if he has not lost his skills while strengthening his physical fitness and header ability. It will be an all-round center that Ronaldo and Van Nii can't compare with.
It's not that Lin Fenglei only focuses on offensive players. In fact, most of the players under the age of 20 in the team have some potential in the midfield and front court. Most of the players in the backcourt are older. The progress of players over 24 in FM is very limited. He doesn't want to throw valuable FM gold coins on these cost-effective balls. For the members, the only way is to build the offensive combination first, and then slowly transform the rear defense line. Attack is also more important than defense in low-level leagues, at least that's what Lin Fenglei thinks.
After watching a few days of training, Lin Fenglei's troubles came again. He found that all the team members were signed part-time contracts, and the training was over after only half a day. Some young players even had other jobs. How can he ensure the quality of training? When he talked about this problem with Caquetas, Caquetas also couldn't help: "I can't help it, boss. Our club is just a semi-professional club with a limited budget, so we can only sign part-time contracts with the players. In fact, there are only two full-time contracts between you and me in the whole club, and the rest of the coaches are part-time. Only when the team's performance is good and the income is high can it become a professional club. At that time, you can sign a full-time contract with the players. Lin Fenglei shook his head, but obviously, he can't solve this problem at this stage, and he can only do so. However, he said fiercely in his heart, "I must turn the club into a profession as soon as possible. Otherwise, who can stand this kind of life? Don't waste all the good seedlings I have cultivated."
Lin Fenglei turned his eyes to the transfer market again, but when he tried to contact some players, he found that either the club could not afford it, or the players were unwilling to come. He looked sadly at the poor 14,000 euros on the book, gritted his teeth, and He ran to the chairman's office to find Gnegy to increase the transfer budget. Gnegy listened to his intention and asked, "At that press conference, you said that your goal was to bring the Gosho team to the middle of the table. Did you say it casually or are you serious?"
Lin Fenglei nodded quickly: "Of course it's serious. As long as the club supports me, I'm very confident."
Gneggi said, "Of course the club will fully support you. The goal of the club before the season was to keep the team relegated. Since you are so confident, I can't be stingy. I decided to increase the transfer budget.
Lin Fenglei was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman. May I know how much the transfer budget has increased?"
Gneji stretched out four fingers, and Lin Fenglei's eyes almost smiled: "400,000?"
Gneggi laughed, and he didn't sell it anymore: "4,000 euros, plus the original 14,000 euros, now you have a transfer fee of 18,000 euros." Looking at Lin Fenglei's disappointed look, Gneji added a few more words: "Don't be disappointed. 18,000 euros is already the highest transfer budget of Gosho Club in recent years, and you can still buy a few good players. After all, I'm just a plantation owner, not a millionaire. I don't make money to run the Gosau Club at all. I only rely on my love for the Gosau Club to support me. Work hard, young people. As long as you lead the team with good grades and the club's income is high, are you afraid that you won't have money to buy people in the future? I promise that as long as it is the income of the club, every penny will be spent on the club. I will not use it for it. I make money in business, and I will do my best to invest in the club.
Although Lin Fenglei was disappointed, he thanked Gneji and left his office. He knew that what Gnegie said was the truth, and he didn't have much hope before he came, but now the result still makes him very helpless. Who can buy it for 18,000 euros? I'm afraid I can only buy some outdated players who have been eliminated from other teams. Although these people have rich experience, their strength is mediocre, and they are not destined to be the future of the team. It's better for them to buy them and save a sum of money for the team. It seems that he can only dig inside, and he sighed in his heart.
