Soccer Dreams Set Sail

Chapter 12 Determining the Lineup
After two days of conversations, the team finally left 3 midfielders, 4 defenders, and a goalkeeper. Except for the ones he wanted to leave, Messia gave up the others.

The goalkeeper came from Manchester City's own system, so he has feelings and average strength. There are no major flaws, but there are no outstanding performances, but he is absolutely fine as a substitute.

And the three midfielders have also agreed that there is no problem with the substitute, and the defender was asked by Messia to stay. Messiah watched the game video, and these defenders listened to their duties conscientiously, but sometimes they couldn’t find the right position, so Just leave it for training.

Now Messia still lacks two substitute forwards, two substitute wingers, and one substitute goalkeeper. After careful calculation, there are a total of 23 players in the squad for next season.

Although there are a few fewer players than the 26 people mentioned at the beginning, it is enough. After all, it is the League One, not the Premier League.

Now that everything has been negotiated, Messiah hastened to arrange to sign a formal contract and get the contract done first. Because of Bosman's relationship, everything is going smoothly now. After all, some transfers can now be made for free.

Mejia didn't care about the loss of some money, he valued future transactions and relationships more than this.

Now all that remains is to wait until the transfer market opens on July 7, and then the two parties can announce the success of the transaction.

1996-1997 season lineup:

Goalkeepers: Buffon, Hamann, Jonia
Defenders: William Gallas - centre-back, Zambrotta - left-back/right-back/left-back, Willy Sagnol - right-back, Fabio Cannavaro - center-back, Carl Persia - right back, Adrian Capone - left back, George Fucilet center back

Central: Seedorf-Midfielder, Litmanen-Front Midfielder, Edgar Davis-Downfield/Left Midfielder/Central Midfielder, Knicks Spiropoulos-Downfield, Yuri Simonov - attacking midfielder / midfielder, Placido Galindo - midfielder / defensive midfielder
Forwards: Caniggia-Winger, Henry-Winger, Ronaldo-Forward, Adalton-Forward, Mel Hopkins-Winger, Ed Souza-Winger
This is the lineup that Messia used to play in League One, especially Cannavaro was a windfall. He was going for Buffon, but he was found in the video sent back. I only found out that there is such a great god after asking. exist.

Mejia didn't say a word and spent money on it, and Cannavaro himself didn't want to come at the time, but because it happened before Bosman, he had no right to speak, so the transaction was successful.

Messia was a thief this time. He asked people to sign a letter of intent first, and then sign a contract when transferring, and they all included high liquidated damages, so everything went so smoothly.

It's just that this can only be used once, and no one will play with him like this in the future, and it's easy to lose friends if you play like this.

Messia understands the current situation too well. One is that the team has been relegated, which is not attractive in itself. There is no famous coach yet, and the salary is not advantageous. Anyway, better players will not come to Manchester City for no reason. People really see not on.

So Mesia had no choice but to make a bad move, as long as he passed this hurdle and used some small means, it was acceptable.

Everything will be different when you are promoted to the Premier League, and it will be much easier to invite people. Everything is about grades and fame. With these, will there be any other shortages?

And Messia has been sending scouts all over the world just to prepare for returning to the Premier League.

Don't ask why he is so confident that he can upgrade successfully, just look at the lineup and you will know, such a lineup is useless, so it means that you are not suitable for this line of work, just wash up and go to sleep!
