Chapter Twenty-Five, Leaving
The day after returning from Argentina, Kintiger immediately went to work. The players will soon return from vacation one after another, and he needs to prepare for many things in advance. After Woodward, he immediately reported the details of the trip to the Glazer family, and there were still some remaining signing and payment issues to deal with.
In his office at the Carrington training base this morning, Jin Taige was reading with relish a copy of The Sun, which was freshly baked this morning and smelled of ink. He was watching reporter Wolff's A manuscript, the title of this manuscript is "Good Coach".
"We have to admire the vision of the Glazer family, they really chose a good coach, and judging from the fact that he saves the transfer fee, he really meets all the requirements of the Glazer family for money. Look at the new signing he signed. Players: Championship, Ligue 2, Bundesliga youth team, oh my God, before I am surprised by the new manager of Manchester United, I have to admire the selection criteria of the club. Manchester United spent the most transfer transaction this summer, or Zaha, who signed in advance in the Ferguson era, cost 15 million euros. Since Jin Tiger took office, he has bought 15 young players in one go. Could it be that Jin Tiger has a pedophile? Or is he able to discern these 15 players Can young people become hopeful stars like Ronaldo?"
At this time, there were two other people in King Tiger's office. They were his two assistant coaches, Mike Phelan and Paul Scholes, who also had a copy of The Sun and were wrinkled. Brow looked down. Jin Taige looked at the two in front of him, lost in thought.
Mike Phelan, 45, Scholes, 37, and Kim Tiger, 38, are about the same age, so they communicate well in many places. Scholes needless to say, Kintiger has had a good relationship with him since the youth team; Mike Phelan is also very familiar with Kintage, and when the Jazz left, he specifically asked him to cooperate with Kintage's work. Therefore, these two people can be said to be the right-hand man of Jin Taige.
Phelan was Ferguson's personal assistant for the last five years of the Ferguson era. He was very familiar with team management, intelligence collection, player management, etc.; The assistant coach, with his ability and reputation, is definitely up to the job.
"This is just nonsense!" The hot-tempered Phelan scolded and brought Jin Taigra back to reality. "What is pedophilia? I want to sue them! This is a personal attack!"
Scholes waved his hand hastily: "You calm down first, don't worry."
Jin Taige smiled: "Phelan, Paul, don't worry, I just came here in the morning and saw this newspaper in the newsstand and thought it was interesting, so I bought it for you to see, it's no big deal, now our team Reconstruction is the main thing, there is no time to spend on these crap articles. I just want you to see how the outside world is treating us.”
"The situation is not optimistic now," Scholes put the newspaper aside. "Captain, you called the two of us to the office today. Shouldn't you just be drinking tea and reading the newspaper?"
"Haha, of course, we are pressed for time now, and we don't have that much time to drink tea leisurely," Jin Taige took out two more sheets of paper that had already been printed from the table, and were densely covered with names, "Look at this."
"This is... a list of first-team players?"
Jin Taige nodded: "Yes, I was mainly busy buying people a while ago. Now that the buying is over, it's time to free up my hands to clean up the team. Phelan, Paul, both of you last season. In the first team, one is a coach and the other is a player, let’s take a look now, who are the current players who are lacking in strength and need to be cleaned up?”
Phelan looked at Jin Taige in surprise. He saw that although Jin Taige was smiling, there was a strong determination in his smile.
Phelan knew in his heart: he was definitely going to clean up a bunch of underpowered players, and it seemed that this new coach was really decisive.
All three looked at the list at the same time, carefully studying the current Manchester United squad.
Goalkeeper positions: De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos.
Central defenders: Ferdinand, Vidic, Jones, Smalling, Evans.
Full-backs: Evra, Rafael, Butner.
Midfielders: Carrick, Anderson, Fletcher, Kagawa Shinji, Cleverly, Yanuzaj.
Fullback: Ryan Giggs, Nani, Young, Valencia.
Forwards: Rooney, Van Persie, Hernandez, Welbeck.
Jin Taige first asked the two assistant coaches: "In the goalkeeper position, apart from De Gea, how are the substitute goalkeepers Lindegaard and Amos? I bought Alisson now, and I am going to let him replace De Gea. ."
Phelan shook his head: "The strength of these two is very limited, that is, reluctantly staying in the team will not help the team very much. Since Alisson is here, the two of them can consider leaving the team."
"Okay, that's it." Jin Taige then went down, "At the center back position, the thickness of the bench is not bad now."
Phelan pointed at Evans: "Last season, West Brom always wanted to buy Evans and promised him a main position, when Sir Jazz offered to let him stay for another year and wait until 2013. Consider his transfer. Tiger, if you can't give him the main position in the new season, it is estimated that he will propose a transfer."
Jin Taige shook his head: "Although Ferdinand and Vidic are old, don't say Van Dijk and Bailey, who are new to the team, even Jones and Smalling are more stable than him, and the main position is impossible. Since If you want to go, then go."
Phelan also agreed: "There is no problem with the central defender position, but the depth of the full-back bench is not enough."
"I bought Alonso, just to replace Evra, and right-back Jones can also play as a substitute. In this way, there is no substitute for Butner in the team, and you can consider selling. What do you have? Opinion?"
"Agreed." Phelan agreed.
Then Jintaige looked at the midfield again: "The midfield is a more worrying issue now, Carrick is old and has many injuries; next season I am going to let Kante assume the team's midfield defense task, so that the midfielder can It will harden. The other five people simply can't meet our requirements. If someone makes a bid during this time, they can sell it at the right price."
"Our midfield is indeed a bit bloated now, and the strength of several people is not up to the requirements of the European giants. It should be cleaned up." Scholes also agreed.
