Chapter 285: Work Plan

After the team is all dispersed, Wansheng will continue to work in the club.

When a season comes to an end, the first task as a manager is to think about the personnel changes for next season, which is the transfer work in the summer.

Taking advantage of the summer transfer time, it is definitely necessary to make the configuration of the team more reasonable, add some quality players, eliminate the players who have no role in the team, let those who want to leave, and those who do not want to leave should also consider their positioning, etc.

Renewals alone are a big problem.

However, the players who stay in the team don't need Wan Sheng to think about anything, if it is a good player, they want to renew their contract, and they have Bi Nix and their agent to negotiate, and Wan Sheng has nothing to do directly, what he has to do is to make a list of summer transfer needs, and then the club's transfer department will operate and carry out transfer work according to the needs.

In the summer transfer, the two most important positions for the team to add are the front and the wing.

Anelka is definitely leaving, his departure is not to worry about Wansheng, but there must be some who go, otherwise the team's forward line will definitely be understaffed, so Manchester City will keep chasing Torres.

This is the most important transfer target at the moment.

Manchester City has been negotiating with Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid is planning to sell Torres, because it will bring them a large transfer fee, but Manchester City has many competitors, many clubs want to get the Spanish golden boy, the biggest competitor is Liverpool, the most urgent need for Torres, but also Manchester City and Liverpool.

In addition, there is the side road.

David Beckham came on loan from Real Madrid, and after the loan period ended, his contract with Real Madrid also ended, and he became a free agent, and the LA Galaxy of the Major League gave Beckham a big contract that could hardly be refused. In the end, Beckham decided to follow the advice of his wife Victoria and go to the major leagues to pan for gold.

Beckham is not the only one on the wing, and it is already difficult for Sinclair to play at Manchester City, so Sinclair has also applied to the club for a transfer to leave.

It's a bit of a pity for Wansheng, Sinclair has been under him for two years, even if it's hard to play, but he is always a qualified substitute, and the salary is not too high, such a player is not easy to find, but since the player asked to leave. There was no need for him to say anything more.

With the departure of two players, it is urgent to add players on the wings.

The three are not the only ones who have left, with veteran midfielder Reyna also announcing his retirement after the FA Cup final, and goalkeeper David James also applying to leave the club as he is no longer able to play as the main goalkeeper at Manchester City.

The departure of these important players, coupled with the inevitable elimination of players such as Corradi, Mills, Trabelsi and other players who can barely play, the list of players to leave Manchester City is almost ten. It's a lot of work to add so many players.

Like some players who are just used as a supplement to the squad, Wan Sheng doesn't care about it, the club's transfer department. There will be a few similar players signed, and they can also be transferred directly from the youth team, but the players in the main squad of the first team need to be considered by him.

Wansheng is optimistic about several players.

Striker player. The target will definitely be Spanish golden boy Torres, which is what Manchester City FC has been doing all along, if Torres' transfer cannot be finalised. Then he will consider other candidates.

The full-back, preferably a strong star, is the Dutch star Arjen Robben who plays for Chelsea.

Wan Sheng also has his eye on Chelsea youngster Glenn Johnson.

The youngster was completely abandoned by Mourinho and even struggled to play, but Wan Sheng felt that his strength and potential were very good, and he was very suitable for the team's fast-break football.

In addition, Atletico Madrid's interested sale of Martin Petrov is also a skilled wide player, and considering that he is worth less than 10 million euros, it is also worth considering bringing in.

Among the above optimistic players, only Torres, Glenn Johnson and Martin Petrov can now be confirmed to operate, Robben's value is too high, and it still depends on the Thai consortium's capital injection into the club to be finalized.

This is also another aspect of Wansheng's headache.

At present, Manchester City Club is unstable, although the club chairman Waddell promised that even if the capital injection is successful, Wansheng's head coach position and rights will not change, but the corresponding department personnel will definitely be affected, such as Bee Nix, it is difficult for him to continue to serve as the general manager, and the new chairman will definitely involve his own manpower in the management of the club, so even if Bee Nix does not leave, the rights will be divided part, so now he is preparing the list of players to transfer the operation, The club doesn't have to fight for it wholeheartedly, everything still depends on the final result.

Now the club's board of directors and the Thai consortium are still in agreement, and according to Bee Nix, the specific results will not be fully finalized until the end of June, or even early July, which means that the club will be unstable until then.

Wan Sheng handed the proposed list to Bill Nix, and the Knicks swept it up, just saying, "Wan Sheng, what I can guarantee is that when I was still the general manager of the club, I will try my best to run these transfers, but after that I can't guarantee it." ”

Wan Sheng sighed when he heard this.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

In the end, Wan Sheng still patted Bee Nix on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, good luck." But I believe in your ability and even if something changes, you'll still be the general manager of the club and we can still work together. ”

"Thank you."

Bee Nix laughed too.

Wan Sheng is telling the truth, when it comes to managing the club, Than-Nix is really capable, and the two have worked together for two years.

Manchester City's good results are the result of Wansheng's work, but Manchester City FC was able to turn losses into profits and pay off all debts in two seasons, and it is the credit of Billy Nix.

――――――

While Wansheng was focusing on Manchester City's transfer work, Kevin Tagore's talks with the Hong Kong Football Association also came to fruition.

With the facilitation of Hong Kong's Prime Minister Zeng Yinquan and Hong Kong's political and business circles, Kevin Tagore helped Wan Sheng finalize a contract to temporarily lead the Hong Kong, China team to the Asian Cup, and then Kevin Tagore flew back to Manchester for a brief discussion with Manchester City FC.

In fact, Wan Sheng wants to take over the Hong Kong team and the Manchester City club nods and agrees, although his contract with the Manchester City club does not specify that he cannot bring other teams during the contract period, but this is also an unspoken rule in the football world.

Historically, there have been many football coaches who have worked for clubs and national teams at the same time, but if they want to coach the national team on a temporary basis while coaching the club team, the club still has to nod and agree.

If the club doesn't nod, then the head coach will accept the work of the national team, which will definitely make the club and even the fans dissatisfied, but Wan Sheng has no problem in this regard, because he has a high prestige in Manchester City Club, and has a very good relationship with several senior management and even directors of the club, and he only takes over the work of the national team temporarily during the normal holiday, which does not conflict with the work of the club.

So after Kevin Tagore greeted him and explained the contract between the Tagore Wan Group and Hong Kong, Chairman Waddell personally nodded and agreed.

According to the contract, Wan Sheng will officially take over the Hong Kong team in mid-June, and plans to prepare for a two-week game, and then the whole team will go to Singapore to participate in this year's Asian Cup.

There's still a month left, so there's plenty of time.

Wan Sheng also exhaled a long sigh when he learned the final result, in fact, he was not too active in taking over the Hong Kong, China team, because the time was on vacation, which was equivalent to a year, and he had no vacation at all.

A season's work is already tiring, and after losing a vacation, you will always feel tired after a year of continuous work.

After completing the general planning of the transfer work, Wansheng also intends to take a break for a while.

His plan was to go on holiday to Portugal with Anita, then fly back to Dalian, China, where he would spend a few days with his family in his hometown before taking over the team in Hong Kong.

To Wansheng's surprise, at this time, many media reporters had already come to the door.

The news that Wan Sheng is going to coach the Hong Kong team is confidential and has not yet been announced to the public, neither Hong Kong, Manchester City FC, nor he himself will disclose the news, so there will not be so many media reporters who know, but these media reporters are all coming for him.

Soon Wan Sheng knew what the purpose of the media reporters was looking for him.

AC Milan and Liverpool's Champions League showdown is about to start, before the decisive battle, there will naturally be a lot of experts, commentators, media analysis and reporting on the game, so many people invariably think of Wansheng, in previous seasons, Wansheng will express his views on the big season, and he said that it is very accurate.

When Liverpool and AC Milan played the year before last, Wan Sheng was a guest on the TV station, analyzed the game in real time, and talked about "Liverpool is a team that can create miracles, they have the spirit of not admitting defeat", in the first half when AC Milan led by three goals, he was the only one in the world who thought that Liverpool still had a chance, and then in the second half Liverpool created a miracle of scoring three goals in six minutes, and used the penalty shootout to beat AC Milan to take away the championship trophy.

Now it's AC Milan and Liverpool again.

The English media want Wan Sheng to make another prediction about the game, of course, it is better to say something "good for Liverpool", and some other media also hope that Wan Sheng will say something about the game, which will attract a lot of fans' attention. (To be continued.) )
