Chapter 17 The Ambition of Coaching the First Team

"Don't look at me like that," Li Yi said in Salerno's office.

"Bruce, you are such a genius." Europeans lack words, and they are nothing more than geniuses.

Cagliari's record is similar to Li Yi's previous analysis. Ventura's team is just a paper tiger. The winning streak at the beginning is just an illusion, and the performance of the players brought in with a lot of money is seriously inconsistent with their worth.

Just say O'Neill, the Uruguayan midfielder spent a full 400 million euros in Cagliari this summer, which is Cagliari's biggest investment in recent years.

You know, when the Uruguayan moved to Juventus, it was only 500 million euros.

The past summer was also Cagliari's biggest investment in the transfer market in recent years, which is also Cellino's support for Pedezoli's work.

But judging from the team's current record, Pedzuoli and Ventura are obviously sorry for Cellino's support, because if this continues, Cagliari may have to play in the third division next season.

As one of the managers of the club, Salerno has not only gradually gained more power to speak, but also knows that the patience of Mr. Cagliari has reached a critical point.

At present, Cagliari only needs to prepare for the league. They were eliminated in the second round of the Coppa Italia, which is the first game of the Coppa Italia. At that time, Cagliari performed very well in the league, so no one cared. For Cagliari, returning to Serie A is the most important thing.

"Nicolas, Ventura probably has a few games left." Li Yi knew that with the current results, Cellino would definitely not have much patience with Ventura.

"Short three rounds, long five rounds" This is Salerno's own judgment based on his understanding of Cellino.

Cellino is a pure businessman, but at the same time he is also a patient businessman.

"Have you started looking for a new coach?" Li Yi stared at Salerno.

"Not bad" Salerno didn't need to hide anything from Li Yi, this was the best chance to reclaim the rights that belonged to him.

"Nicolas, have you forgotten your promise to me?" Li Yi said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Ah~~~" The air froze at this moment, and the office became quiet.

Salerno and Li Yi had discussed this topic in advance, but in Salerno's mind it was even more of a joke. After all, Li Yi is too young, and will only be 21 in a few months. Maybe in the future, Li Yi can become the head coach, but definitely not now.

"Bruce? Are you kidding me?" Salerno broke the silence.

"Are you kidding me? I've been waiting for this moment since I was promoted to the first team." Li Yi said this very seriously.

"You mean you knew Ventura would fail from the very beginning?" Salerno couldn't help but think of this possibility, thinking of Li Yi's analysis before.

"No~~~ I didn't think Ventura would fail until I understood Ventura's tactics and players." Li Yi shook his head.

"But I came to the first team with the determination to become the head coach from the very beginning, and I also prepared to become the head coach from the beginning," Li Yi said immediately.

"I dare say that I know more about Cagliari's first team than Ventura, because I have been doing one thing for the past few months, which is to study the technical characteristics and habits of the players, and make tactical arrangements based on their technical characteristics." Li Yi put the notebook in his hand in front of Salerno.

Opportunities are usually reserved for those who are prepared. Li Yi has made full preparations for meeting Salerno this time, although he knows that he may not be able to succeed.

Age and the yellow race were obstacles for him to become the head coach, but even so, Li Yi was still unwilling to give up, especially after becoming the U20 head coach.

He likes the feeling of leading the team to victory, likes the respectful and admiring eyes of the players looking at him, prefers the praise from the media in the newspapers, and the cheers from the fans.

If it was before, Li Yi might be willing to wait for a few years, but after trying the taste of the head coach, even if it is only the head coach of the U20 team, Li Yi is not willing to wait any longer.

He wants to create history, he wants to leave a strong mark in world football, and he wants to play against those so-called world famous coaches in the near future, and even beat them.

After Ventura led the team to get worse and worse, Li Yi began to dream frequently. He dreamed that he became the head coach of Cagliari. He dreamed that he became the top coach that people said, playing against Ferguson, Wenger, and Mourinho.

A thick notebook was filled with things from the first page to the last night. Although Salerno didn't read it carefully, he could tell from this notebook that Li Yi had been preparing to become the head coach, or to take over Cagliari.

"I dare to say that, even if Mr. Sacchi comes, I don't understand this Cagliari team." Sacchi is currently the well-deserved No.1 coach in Italy.

"And Nicholas, you should know how the U20 results under my leadership are." Although there is a gap between the U20 and the first team, it is undeniable that the U20 record led by Li Yi is better than that of his predecessor.

And there is one thing Li Yi didn't say, but Salerno can definitely think of it later, that is, Li Yi is good at discovering and training young players.

Franck Ribery and Valbuena are U20 star players and are known as the treasures of Cagliari, and both of them were brought by Li Yi without costing the club a penny.

The reason why the club wanted to re-sign Ribery and the others was not because their outstanding performance attracted the attention of other clubs.

"One more thing, I was introduced to Cagliari by you" This is the most deadly attraction. Li Yi was brought into Cagliari by Salerno, and the whole club knows this.

It is conceivable that if Li Yi can really pick up Ventura and lead the team to achieve good results, then Salerno will completely overwhelm Pedizzoli.

Salerno is a little moved, especially when he thinks that he can completely suppress Pedzuoli, and Salerno has not found a head coach who can take over from Ventura.

But soon, Salerno suppressed this throbbing, not to mention other things, Li Yi's yellow race and the age of less than 21 years old are really unimaginable.

Not to mention convincing the club owner, even persuading himself is a bit of a struggle, and even Salerno has reason to believe that if he really suggests to Cellino that Li Yi take over as the head coach of Cagliari, people will be regarded as crazy.

"I know what you're worried about." Li Yi naturally knew that he wanted to take over from Ventura as Cagliari's head coach. Apart from Salerno's help, he needed the Cagliari chairman Cellino's nod in the end.

"Even if Ventura is dismissed from get out of class, it will still be a while, so we still have a process to let the boss know me." Although it is not sure whether Ventura will dismiss get out of class, Li Yi has already figured out what to do next.
