Chapter 97: The winter transfer window
Charlotte looked around and suddenly found many familiar and unfamiliar faces.They are familiar because they are Chinese with the same black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin as Charlotte, and unfamiliar because Charlotte doesn't know them at all.

He didn't know that Yu Hang's report had already exploded in the country, and almost all the media reporters flew to England with the approval of the high-level.And those media with a resident in London even sent a letter to Southampton a few days ago to interview the head coach Charlotte, but they were suppressed by Les Reid.

There are so many jobs in the club now, who has the time to pay attention to the media, and Southampton was not the darling of the media before, so Les Reid does not have much experience in such a situation.

If it's okay for a media like last time, it's okay to accept it as a big deal.But now there are nearly ten media outlets, obviously it is impossible for everyone to accept it, but whoever refuses to accept who, this is a technical job, he Les Reed is a technical person, not a public relations expert
This season, Les Reid found that his football director position was only a part-time job, and he actually became the general manager of the club
Charlotte ignored the middle-aged woman's "idiot question" and picked two at random. The Chinese media announced the end of the press conference after the official answers.

As for the Chinese reporters who were chasing after them, Charlotte just said calmly: "Your questions are answered on Southampton's official website, and Sina Media has also interviewed them before. You can check their reports. But I don’t want to answer the same question every time, I am a football coach, you are football media, please don’t develop in the direction of gossip media, thank you.”

After speaking, Charlotte left directly. He never liked dealing with the media. These guys are definitely the most difficult people to deal with.

"Hmph, what are you arrogant about! Top coaches like Gao Hongbo and Xu Genbao are not as arrogant as him, what is he?" The middle-aged female reporter who was sent by the monkey was a little unhappy.

The assistant beside her kept wiping away the sweat. Southampton at the end of December was already so cold that no one dared to expose an inch of skin, but her assistant was sweating at such a temperature.
I don’t take this job because you know that this is the UK. Although he is the head coach of China, he basically lives by the system in your country. If you don’t give him face, why should he care about you?
The assistant is a Chinese student who is currently studying sports journalism at Communication University of London.This time, a friend in China helped her find this part-time job as an assistant to a reporter sent to the UK by a domestic media that has no station in the UK. Firstly, it is to earn some extra money, and secondly, it can be regarded as accumulating some experience. After all I will also be engaged in this industry in the future.

As a result, she found that her temporary boss was a pitfall, and she had already told her the things to pay attention to before coming, but she didn't expect
As a fan girl, it is naturally impossible for this international student not to know Charlotte.In fact, she knew that Southampton had a Chinese head coach as early as when Charlotte led the team to play in London. After searching the information, she also shared the photos on her Sina Weibo, wanting to share with him Domestic friends share this news.

It's just that her weibo has only [-] fans, so her influence is naturally very limited.

Although she is not a fan of Southampton, this girl will also come to Southampton to watch the game whenever she has time. If she has the opportunity, she will get Charlotte's autograph and group photo.

There is also a familiarity between her and Charlotte. After all, it is easy to remember a compatriot who is often seen in England.So she knows what kind of questions Charlotte likes and what kind of questions she hates.

I hope he didn't see me just now. The sister paper prayed in her heart.

Of course, Charlotte didn't have the heart to think about these things. He didn't think that he would be smug when domestic media came to interview him.He is very aware of his current situation. He is just the head coach of a Championship team. If he can't produce convincing results, then he is nothing. Maybe it's like the funny guy sent by the monkey before said. The same as before, with the current experience of "studying abroad", I can only go back to China to make a living.

With Lambert injured, Charlotte has to consider backup plans.Currently there is Harry Kane as a center forward, but obviously he cannot replace Lambert's task, so Charlotte plans to put Sturridge on top, after all, when he was in Chelsea, Manchester City and Bolton, Stuart Rich played at the center position. After coming to Southampton, because there was a late bloomer Lambert on top of the center, so Charlotte had to put him on the wing.

But it can be seen in many Southampton games. Although Sturridge is a winger, he is an inside type. He is often seen ambushing under the shadow of Lambert, while Lallana is on the wing. Most of the cases are filled and Danny Rose is pressed up.

So Charlotte is not worried about this, Sturridge is fully capable, and the winger position he vacated can be made up by Sterling.Even if Sterling's performance is unstable, the goal of the winter transfer is coming soon.

It has been bad news recently, but on the first day of the new year, Charlotte finally got good news. Wanyama called him and expressed his willingness to join Southampton.

So after the winter transfer window just opened, Southampton took the lead!First, captain Dean Hammond moved to Southampton's upgrade rival Reading for 150 million pounds, and then announced that he had bought out the center of the Celtics, the Soviet Super League leader, for 150 million pounds. Player Victor Wanyama, this entry and exit is equivalent to no money, but Charlotte is extremely satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, Southampton announced that the Italian teenager Alessandro Florenzi, who played for the Roma youth team, joined the team with a transfer fee of 80 pounds, which is about 100 million euros.

The three parties are very satisfied with this deal, Charlotte will not say, the Roma team originally planned to sell Florenzi to Crotone, the Serie B club that rented him, but Crotone can only come up with 25 [-] euros to buy out half of Florenzi's ownership. Compared with Crotone, Southampton appears to be "rich and powerful".

Florenzi is also very happy, he got the opportunity to exercise, maybe he can play in the Premier League next season.

Finally, Southampton announced that Barnsley youth team defender John Stones and Jutland youth team winger Pione Citos in the Danish League joined the team.

Although the transfer fee was not disclosed, but all fools know that such a young player is not worth much at all
These players are not very old, and the comment given by the media is "This meets Charlotte's signing standards!".Even the British media with some good things also summed up the criteria for Charlotte's signings: "First, it must be that the young players are basically no more than 22 years old, second, they are cheap, and finally they can't play games at the old club."

These are the three principles of Charlotte's signings.
It seems that there is still some truth. Except for Gary Monk and Al Ganassi, it seems that the rest of Charlotte's imported players meet these three criteria
The transfer work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Charlotte's personal problems are also on the table.Due to the team's current excellent results, club owner Katerina said that she must renew her contract with Charlotte.You know, now Charlotte is only on a one-year temporary contract. If other teams "hook up" Charlotte at this time, it will be a devastating blow to Southampton. After all, the team is now rushing to the Super League On the expressway, Charlotte, the new driver who controls the steering wheel, must not have any accidents, otherwise it is easy to crash the car and kill people.

Now it is no longer necessary for the boss Katerina to come forward to provide the contract. The Swiss boss handed over the job to Chairman Curtis.Ever since Curtis had some trouble with the boss about the appointment of Charlotte as the head coach, the Swiss banker has been a little passive and sabotaged. He has handed over many trivial matters of the club to the middle Les Li Germany.

Katerina only gave Curtis a death order, that is, she must renew her contract with Charlotte. As for the other details, it is Curtis's business.

A weekly salary of 30 pounds, a three-and-a-half-year contract extension, a signing fee of [-] pounds, and the club will take back part of the transfer rights.
Charlotte picked up the contract and looked at it. It didn't take much thinking to know that Curtis added the transfer fee back.

"Don't even think about the right to transfer. Although I am not from England, I know that in English clubs, the head coach is generally responsible for the transfer. Nikola, you must know that only I know which players I need. In case What should I do if the players recruited by the club are not to my liking and cannot meet my tactical requirements? At that time, the team’s performance cannot be guaranteed, not to mention the money spent.”

"You know what kind of player you need? So you pay £1000m for a young goalkeeper?? Before you buy him, the whole world doesn't know him. After you buy him, the whole of England knows we are Southampton. Don has the top five goalkeepers in England!" Curtis roared angrily.

"But look now, if there is no Mark, we will have such a good result this season? Facts have proved that my 1000 million pounds were worth it!" Charlotte likes to speak with facts.

"Hell, what if it fails? You have to know that we are not Manchester City and Chelsea who have so much money to waste. Every penny is very precious at a small club like ours!"

"Your assumption doesn't hold because we've already succeeded."

Curtis: "."
