Chapter 10, 0 Gold Is Back
"You're making Paul Scholes the second assistant coach?"
David Gill, the CEO of Manchester United, looked at Jin Tiger in surprise. He didn't expect that when Jin Tiger came to Carrington this morning, he came to his office to find him and told him about it.
Jin Taige nodded: "Paul has made a request to me about this matter. I think it is really suitable for him to be my assistant coach at this time."
"You have the final say on this matter, after all, you are the manager of the team." Jill agreed. The first little request made by his new coach, of course, has to be fulfilled.
English clubs are different from other leagues. The manager of the club is not a "coach", but a "manager". The difference of a word has different meanings. One is just the coach who leads the team to play, and the other is the manager who has the power to manage the team. Of course, the strength of different teams and different coaches is not the same. Ferguson is a detached existence to Manchester United and Wenger to Arsenal. Even the CEO of the club has great respect for them. Even Mourinho didn't get this high treatment and rights at Chelsea.
Jill looked at Jin Taige in front of him: "How are you doing recently?"
"Fortunately, organize the information, study the game, and determine the team's next tactical play and lineup position before the players return from vacation in mid-July."
Jill nodded: "What do you think of the team's lineup?"
"It seems to be powerful, but in fact it is full of dangers. In the current lineup of the first team, almost every position has hidden dangers." Jin Taige said calmly.
Gill disagreed with his point of view: "Mr. Manager, are you worrying a little? This is the Premier League champion team that Mr. Jazz left behind."
Jin Taige said seriously: "The aging of the team is very serious now, and the ability of players in some positions has reached the limit. Don't forget, Mr. Gill, in the past season, we were eliminated in the Champions League round of 16. Now, what does this prove? It proves that our team is not world-class. Only by building another young and energetic team can we ensure that Manchester United can restore continuous Premier League dominance and dominate Europe again!”
Jill listened to this, pondered for a while, and looked at Jin Tiger with approval: "It seems that Jazz has a unique vision. You dare to abandon the inherent stability before, and take risks and make urgent changes. There is indeed a young Jazz. style."
The two sat down, and Jill asked Jintag, "What would you like to drink?"
"Hot water."
The secretary offered Jin Taige warm water.
"Let's talk, what do you think of the team's lineup. What needs to be strengthened and what positions need to be replaced?" Jill sat on the sofa, changed a comfortable position, and looked at Jin Taige.
Kintag began to repeat what he had said to Ferguson to Jill.
After listening, Gill frowned: "One backup goalkeeper, two potential central defenders, two full-back substitutes, one defensive midfielder, and preferably a speedy striker. You have a lot of requirements. "
Jin Taige smiled slightly: "This is the development path of the Red Devils in the next 20 years, and the road of change will definitely undergo a major change."
"But if you want to improve the strength of the lineup, you will need a lot of money, but the club's financial situation is not very optimistic now," Jill put a spoonful of sugar into the coffee, and then joked, "Look, I even put it in the coffee now. I put sugar carefully, for fear of spilling it and wasting it."
Jin Taige stared closely at Jill: "Mr. Jill, how much transfer funds can the club provide me this summer?"
Gill stretched out five fingers: "The transfer fee of fifty million euros is only so much."
"Fifty million euros transfer fee?" Jin Taige frowned slightly.
It stands to reason that the transfer fee of 50 million euros is not a small number, but for a giant like Manchester United, which is facing a change of blood, 50 million euros does seem a little shabby.
Jill heard a little bit of meaning in Jin Taige's tone: "Mr. Manager, this is a lot of money."
"It's not a small number, but for a giant like Manchester United, it's not too much." Jin Taige replied softly or hard.
Gill smiled: "Mr. Manager, although Sir Alex Ferguson strongly recommends you to be his successor, you have never coached the first team. Mr. Glazer is still a little concerned about this. If you can win the next game. With a convincing result, I am sure Mr Glazer will come up with more transfer funds next summer to help you make a change for the team."
Jin Taige understands now. The original nonsense about "the club's financial situation is not optimistic" is a lie. Glazer just questioned his coaching ability, so he was unwilling to invest too much money at one time. The five thousand Ten thousand euros is just a test.
Thinking of this, Jin Taige nodded: "Okay, 50 million euros is enough for the time being. I have some thoughts during this time. I will go back now to prepare the player information and organize suitable candidates. I will come to you tomorrow morning."
"Mr. Manager, don't be in such a hurry, we have time." Jill said leisurely after taking a sip of coffee.
Jin Taige shook his head: "Some people have to hurry up. If they are late, they will be robbed by others."
"Well, since that's the case, then I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow afternoon," said Jill.
"In that case, I'll go back first, and we'll see you tomorrow morning." Jin Taige stood up and was about to go out.
Gill reminded behind him: "Mr. Manager, don't forget the goals for this season marked on the contract."
Jin Taige turned his back to Jill and made an OK gesture, then walked out the door without looking back.
Seeing Jin Tiger leaving, Gill smiled bitterly: "If you can't achieve the minimum goals set in the contract for the top 4 in the Premier League and the top 16 in the Champions League, you will have to be played back to the youth team next season. "
With the exception of Manchester United, all Premier League teams at this stage are studying their staffing and transfer targets for next season.
"José, since I invited you home, you can open your mouth this summer. I will buy you whoever you want."
"The current lineup of the Blues is strong enough, but there were some problems with the previous style of play. I just need to strengthen in individual positions."
"Mr. Pellegrini, the board of directors has decided to give you 100 million yuan first. You spend it first. If it is not enough, we will pay more. Manchester City's goal this season is to win the Premier League and the Champions League. For this goal, money is not a problem."
"Don't worry, I understand."
