Star Coach

Controlling a team is not like being a good coach. Even if Jiangshan has the help of Woodward and others, he will have to deal with too many things before the team gets on the right track.

Things were not simple, and trouble soon came.

Anna Catherine held the folder and placed it in front of Jiang Shan with a serious look on her face, "There is a problem with the team. Zola voluntarily resigned and wanted to leave the team. In addition, most of the team's main players want to leave."

Catherine gave up her career in Germany for Jiang Shan and went to West Ham to work as Jiang Shan's secretary and help him process documents. She may have seen that Cheryl and Samantha both gave birth to children for Jiang Shan, and Wan Ling was also receiving much attention, so she must have felt unbalanced.

Jiang Shan looked through the documents and his face was ashen.

Zola resigns? The team's head coach left, and he had to quickly form a coaching team. He couldn't take action on his own. The team's affairs hadn't been finished yet, so he didn't have the time or energy.

Jiangshan has talked with Zola before and hopes that he will continue to lead the team. As long as he wins the Champions League spot, Jiangshan will allow him to stay on. But Zola seems not to want to work under Jiangshan, or he is not confident in winning a Champions League spot.

Zola offered to resign and was ready to look for opportunities elsewhere. The most depressing thing for Jiangshan is that most of Zola's main players are also leaving, which is a nerve-wracking thing.

If it is not handled well, the team will be in trouble next season and may even fall into the relegation zone. The matter is so important that Jiangshan has to pay attention to it.

"What should we do? Are our plans going to change?" Catherine's face was equally ugly. "A total of 8 players plan to leave. Do you allow it?"

"Of course it is allowed. Anyone who wants to leave, I allow it." Jiang Shan said in a bad tone, "Players who want to leave should keep enough transfer fees. I support it with both hands."

He thinks highly of West Ham's players, and he doesn't even have the ambition to compete with Jiangshan for the championship. How can he count on them? Jiangshan knows that after the team changes ownership, the players will be worried about their future, especially their position in the team. If they ask to leave early, they may get better opportunities.

Jiang Shan squinted his eyes thoughtfully, "Levi is missing. If Levi were in the team, he and Woodward would be a perfect match. One would be in charge of player sales and the other would be in charge of business development. West Ham's success would be accelerated. a lot of."

Now, there is no other way, Jiangshan can only bite the bullet, and all player buying and selling matters are under his control.

"Fortunately, several players who can be used in the future are still in the team." Jiangshan smiled bitterly. Captain Matthew Upson and Parker did not choose to leave. They are still in the team. Next season, we must keep a few old people to stabilize the locker room.

Walker and Jiangshan set off immediately, and the search for the head coach was carried out simultaneously.

The first stop is Atletico Madrid. Negotiation, agreement, two young players.

Jiangshan chose Royce and De Gea. One is a superstar that Jiangshan is preparing to cultivate, and the other is the future main goalkeeper. Let him practice hard in the past few years. How far De Gea can grow in the future, Jiangshan Knowing everything.

Atletico Madrid saved face for Jiangshan in the end, and the transfer prices for the two players were not high. After all, when Jiangshan resigned, he left Atletico Madrid with a lot of assets.

De Gea only has 500,000 pounds. He is a young man and has only a few first-team appearances. Atletico Madrid did not judge him enough and got a huge advantage. Reus is much more expensive, at 15 million pounds, and he is a budding star. Atletico Madrid did not want to sell.

But Royce had already submitted a transfer application at the end of the season and had long wanted to follow Jiangshan's footsteps.

In the second stop, AC Milan, David Silva and Hummels are also players coached by Jiangshan. Their development in Milan has been average in the past two years, and coach Simeone did not train them enough.

Betu and Galliani also remained friendly to Jiangshan without any obstruction. Both were players under Walker and quickly submitted transfer applications.

The price of players who plan to leave will be further reduced. Silva was only sold for 20 million pounds, while Hummels was even cheaper, only 10 million pounds. Of course, this is related to Hummels' performance. He often makes mistakes on the field and lacks confidence. In the past two years, it has become a sinkhole in Milan's defense, and he has not yet grabbed the main position!

Simeone regretfully contacted Jiangshan, "Are you really planning to buy Hummels? His adaptability is very poor. Can he adapt to the intensity of the Premier League? The most important thing is that his ability has never been improved, and it is difficult for people to trust."

"Thank you for the reminder." Jiang Shan felt warm in his heart. Simeone was the coach he brought out and he respected him very much. "I have no choice. I just bought the team and have no money to buy mature players. I can only Starting from the old subordinates.”

"Fortunately, the two people you chose are not my core players, otherwise I would definitely be in a hurry with you."

"Milan is not easy to lead. If you have a chance in the future, I suggest you join Atletico Madrid. Although their top management is fucked up, the main framework I have built will definitely not be bad. You will achieve results in Atletico Madrid."

"Thank you..." Simone thought thoughtfully.

In just two weeks, West Ham acquired four players in one go, and no one could react. They had already spent nearly 50 million pounds. Of course, their 45 million pounds cannot make a big splash at all.

Other strong teams in the Premier League are making reinforcements at a faster and more frenzied pace than them.

Manchester City spent 35 million pounds on Aguero, as well as Barry, Tevez, Adebayor and other players. The total cost has exceeded 100 million pounds. They are continuing to strengthen and are targeting Arsenal's central defender. Ray, keep throwing money.

Manchester United sold Ronaldo and bought Valencia, Owen, Obertan and Diouf. Chelsea and Liverpool were a little less active, and they were very happy to sell players. Xabi Alonso was actually sold to Real Madrid by Liverpool. I don't know what they were thinking.

The pace of West Ham's player sales is also accelerating. Jiangshan doesn't care about the whereabouts of these players. He just wants to collect funds.

As many as 8 players were transferred out in one go, and they were all first-team players. They were not worth much. This group of players was sold for only 40 million pounds, a bargain price. The value of each person did not exceed 8 million pounds.

Jiangshan was helpless. His focus this season was on buying players. He could not take care of selling players at the same time, so he could only make a quick decision.

"Wait until my team is on the right track and see who can compete with me." He thought to himself, and flew to Germany with Walker, a key stop in the summer. He still had a few players to eat, and there was also the problem of the head coach to solve.

This stop is Hertha Berlin, which is also the team he once led. He has deployed a lot of chess pieces, and it is almost time to recycle them.

Modric, one of the key players in the midfield. Modric accepted Jiangshan's advice and stayed in Hertha Berlin. He led the team to the Champions League and the Europa League. Although he did not achieve much results, Modric's strength has been greatly improved.

20 million euros, this is the price of Modric. Compared with his contribution, this price is not high. Doing business in the Bundesliga basically does not have to worry about being cheated.

"There are still a few players, we also want to eat them." Jiangshan bought 5 people, still not satisfied, and his eyes are still sweeping everywhere.

The defense line needs to be supplemented, the forward line needs to be supplemented, and even in the middle of the midfield, he wants to add another player. On the defense line, for the stability of the team's locker room, he plans to eat English players.
