World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 411 Selling Players
Victor Oliveira is the head coach of the Portuguese Super League Ferreira team.

Oliveira is in a good mood recently, because the club has just received a large amount of sponsorship.And the club that wants to do something big this season not only gave Oliveira the power to sign and transfer, but also gave him a generous transfer budget.

The smug Oliveira upgraded the team's lineup before the start of the season and introduced many capable players. He believes that his team will be very competitive in the Portuguese Super League this season.

However, he is not satisfied with the current lineup, and that is the team's midfielder.

The Ferreira team's midfield strength is average. Now that the back line and forward line have been reinforced, the lineup looks like a dumbbell, narrow in the middle and wide at both ends.

There is a saying that the midfielder wins the world. Oliveira knows that whether he can make a breakthrough this season depends on whether the midfielder can be strengthened.

Oliveira has been looking for a suitable midfielder, especially a good midfielder.

It’s just that these days, good midfielders are rare in the transfer market, and excellent midfielders are hidden like treasures by the teams, for fear of being poached; and those who are labeled as allowing transfers are either worthless or worth tens of millions of euros. With the Ferreira team having completed many transactions, there is not much money available.

Some agents suggested that Oliveira set his sights on signings more broadly, aiming at overseas markets, and looking for high-quality and cheap international players.

But Oliveira is not interested. In his opinion, the introduction of international players is tantamount to gambling. Whether he can adapt to the rhythm of the Portuguese Super League and integrate into the Portuguese culture is unknown. He can't wait for the team to achieve results this year.

What he needs are players who have proven themselves in the Portuguese Super League.

When he was busy looking for a midfielder, he suddenly received an invitation from the Maritimo team for a teaching match.

Maritimo?

snort!
It's just a declining nobleman who is about to be demoted!
Oliveira was unwilling to waste time on such an opponent, but it was the legendary Portuguese goalkeeper Baia who invited him.

This face cannot be denied.

In Portugal, Baia's face is much better than their Chinese head coach who doesn't know the so-called.

Anyway, if the opponent is going to play a game at your own training base, then just play with them.

But when it was time for the game, Oliveira's nose was almost crooked.

It turned out that the opponent who came to Ferreira's base turned out to be the reserve team!
Although the first team head coach Gao Yuan is leading the team, who are you looking down on when you bring a reserve team to play against me? !

The furious Oliveira managed to hold back the urge to drive Maritimo and his party out of the base.

He suppressed his anger, temporarily adjusted the team's lineup, and called out his own reserve team.

According to the pre-match agreement, the game is divided into three quarters, each of which lasts 40 minutes.

Before the game, Oliveira, who was still angry, gave a lecture to the young players of the reserve team:
"The bastard Maritimos dare to play us, they must be taught a lesson! Give them a hard beat!"

40 minutes later, it was Ferreira's reserve team who were beaten in disgrace.

0: 4!

On average, a goal is scored in 10 minutes!
However, Oliveira was not so angry.

Because he found that the opponent's reserve team was not all children, and many of the main players or main substitutes who were still in the first team of Maritimo last season were in the reserve team.

Reminiscent of the news reports he had seen before, he understood that these players were all purged by the new Chinese head coach.

What is the purpose of the opponent mobilizing a crowd to bring a group of purged players to the game?
After thinking about it for a while, Oliveira realized that the other party was here to sell it!
Yes, they want to sell these hapless bastards who have been cleaned.

They must have arranged many such teaching matches or warm-up matches, through which they can demonstrate the level of players and attract offers from interested clubs.

It's like a moving trade fair, where the players are the commodity and the game is the means of display.

Not to mention, some of these players did attract Oliveira's interest.

The one who caught his eye the most was Fabricardo Bannano.

The 26-year-old midfielder is in his prime, and was Maritimo's semi-main player last season.

I don't know what medicine the young Chinese coach of Maritimo took wrongly, and he actually put players of this level in the reserve team.

Moreover, Bannano's performance seems to be much better than last season!
Although, Oliveira didn't know much about Bannano.But last season, Bannano played in both matches. If his performance at that time could score 6-7 points, then his performance in the quarter just now could score 10 points!
It's not just enough to score 10 points, but the highest standard is only 10 points!
Bannano is like a combination of "Kante + Fabregas"!Can attack and defend well, can fight and grab, has a huge coverage area, and can pass the ecstasy pass!

When did Bannano become so powerful?It must be that his reserve team is too weak, so his level is falsely set off.

Try replacing the main players in the next quarter!I hope the opponent doesn't replace him!
In the second quarter, Bannano was still on the court.

Ferreira's first-team main force still has certain advantages against Maritimo's reserve team.

What's more, Ferreira also added several powerful new players.

However, although the scene was under Ferreira's control, Maritimo played very tenaciously.

Under Bannano's exceptional offensive and defensive organization, Maritimo not only withstood Ferreira's indiscriminate bombing, but also played some counterattacks with clear lines and smooth organization.

Although the score in the second quarter was 2:1 and Ferreira won, there is no doubt that the MVP on the field is Bannano on the losing side!

This time, Oliveira was moved.

As an old coach, he has seen many outstanding players, but players who can perform like this are really rare.

Isn't this the back waist of my dreams?

If you miss this kind of player, you will undoubtedly be the biggest fool!

However, how could Bannano's performance be so good?Not normal!If you have this kind of strength, you shouldn't be in the Maritimo reserve team, and you should go to the "Huangsa Renwen Literary Federation" a long time ago!
I have to continue to observe.

Fortunately, there is a third section.

However, he has already played two quarters of 80 minutes, will the opponent's head coach continue to let him play?

Oliveira has already made up his mind, if the opponent wants to replace him, he will pull down this old face and beg the opponent's Chinese coach to let him play for a while.

However, as if knowing his intentions, the opponent made many personnel adjustments, but only Bannano was not replaced.

In the third quarter of the game, the Maritimo team continued to play well under the organization and scheduling of Bannano, with a good offense and defense.

Although the final score was still a small loss for the Maritimo team, Bannano's performance was still brave, and he even contributed a goal and an assist!

Oliveira was completely convinced. Among other things, just relying on these 120 minutes, running down without changing his face, and still running as before, he was enough to get an offer from the top five league teams.

After the game, he immediately found the opponent's coach.Straight to the point:
"I am very interested in your team's Fabricardo Bannano. Does your team have any intention to sell? Can you arrange for him to come to our team for trial training?"

The young Chinese coach also answered very simply:
“To be honest, the relationship between Bannano and our new coaching staff is not particularly harmonious due to some personal reasons. If there is an attractive offer, I don’t mind letting him move.

However, he is a very good player after all, and he is playing in his prime, and he has proven himself in the Portuguese Super League, so the offer cannot be too low. In addition, it is impossible to try out for a trial training. This is an insult to a Portuguese Super League player!If you are interested, just sign the contract after the physical examination! "

It doesn't matter whether Oliveira tries or not. As an old coach, he believes in his own vision.The three quarters just now proved that Bannano is good enough.

However, Maritimo does not seem to want to sell Bannano easily, he is worried that he will not be able to pay the offer that the other party wants.

"What is your expected price for him?"

"1000 euros"

"1000 million euros? You're crazy!"

"If you are really interested in him, I advise you to start quickly. Some foreign clubs have already expressed interest in him. A Premier League club has already offered him 800 million pounds. It is not too much for us to ask for 1000 million euros, right? If you can't afford it, forget it."

"Don't," Oliveira said anxiously.Judging from Bannano's performance just now, he believes that the wealthy British will sign him at any cost.

"Let's talk about it again. They are all brothers in the Portuguese Super League. Why do they give good players to the British?"

"Well, if you really want it, we can talk about it. In fact, we can also accept cash + player exchange."
