World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 390 Miserable Diary

"Fuck me, Gao Fu Shuai cheated on me!"

This is Gao Yuan's hysterical roar on the flight back from Portugal.

The notebook spread out beside him records the story and the change of mood since signing the contract.

April 7

At the moment of signing the contract, the system is upgraded!
Signing a European club and becoming the coach of the European first team triggered a milestone event.

Finally upgraded to LV8.

CA/PA: 180/200.

Laozi already has the strength of a world-class coach.

判断球员潜力20、人员管理19、激励20、纪律19、战术意识20……

The system is filled with a string of awesome, shiny and blinding numbers.

However, I'm more concerned with reputation points than these.

8277658!

Hehe, it's finally enough to buy a "Team Maximum Potential Exploitation Coupon".

When I excitedly looked at the shelves of the system store, it turned out that this item worth 800 million prestige points was no longer the most expensive item.

On the shelf, there are several more expensive props, and the name of the bottom item successfully attracted me - nuclear weapon modifier!

The price is 50000000!

Hehe, this chicken thief's system!It is to remind me all the time that I am a poor man, so let's earn reputation points honestly!

In addition, there is another function in the system. I can sort and search the ability values ​​of players within a certain range.

For example, I can sort a team or players within a radius of one kilometer, and select the player with the highest CA and PA through a list at a glance.

This is very convenient to search, and I don't have to take the photos of the players to meet each other one by one!

However, the scope of the initial search is still relatively small, and if you want to expand the scope of the search, you have to spend a lot of reputation points.

I'm also used to the urination of this chicken thief system!

April 7

Although the Maritimo team is on vacation at the end of the season, I still decided to fly there alone to familiarize myself with the working environment, lay a solid foundation for the next work, and determine the direction.

It took 16 hours and three plane transfers before finally arriving at Cristiano Ronaldo Airport in Madeira Islands.

This is the first time I have seen such an airport. The runway is built on a hillside, and the plane is disturbed by a strong crosswind when it lands. It feels like it may be blown away at any time.It's so fucking scary!I decided to go by boat as much as possible to play games in the future!
As soon as I got out of the airport, I saw the Ronaldo statue that looked like Harland.No wonder everyone says that Harland is a statue, let alone a look!

Madeira Islands gave me a familiar feeling, yes, here is like a happy port!The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the sun is bright, and it is close to the sea. The wet sea breeze carries the smell of the sea. There are tall laurel trees everywhere, and the Portuguese-speaking residents are kind and leisurely.

Not only the geographical environment is similar, but also the football geography is very similar. The seaport of Sao Paulo state is dotted with countless clubs, while Madeira Islands has a small area and a small population, but there are 23 football clubs registered in the professional system. This is not counting the B teams of various clubs that also participate in professional leagues!
There are children wearing the jerseys of Ronaldo and Fernandes playing football everywhere on the side of the road. In such a football environment, how can Portuguese football not be endless and prosperous?

When I came to the base in Maritimo, it was already sunset. Compared with the Taishan Sports Center in Brazil, this base is much smaller, and the facilities are also outdated and simple.

It seems that in the football game, the evaluation of this club is very impressive: general training facilities and youth training facilities, simple office facilities.

The general manager Albert Ferrez is a very serious middle-aged man, his attitude is a bit salty, let me settle down first, have a good rest, and get familiar with the club tomorrow.

April 7

Damn, I drank too much last night!Hangover is so bad, headache and nausea!
The Portuguese in the club left me alone in the dormitory. Unexpectedly, several Chinese executives gave me a good night's entertainment.

Still compatriots are interesting enough!

The setup of this club is very strange. The Portuguese general manager Albert Ferrez is responsible for the daily management and operation of the team and is responsible to the fans; the Chinese vice chairman Chen Wenbin is in charge of inspection and supervision and is responsible to the owner Jiang Jianzhang.

The vice-chairman who can communicate directly with the boss is not in charge of team management, and the general manager who manages the team has to go through the vice-chairman to find the boss and report before making a decision.

There are many doors, and each other is hindered. The water inside the club is a bit deep!
It was the Chinese who entertained me at night, and the Portuguese who led me to visit during the day. They seem to be responsible for their own work, alternating with each other like day and night, but I can clearly feel that they have great wariness and hostility towards each other, and there is an undercurrent surging under the calm appearance!
Albert Ferez took me on a tour of the base and met the team's administrative and support staff.

Everyone was amazed at my exceptionally fluent Portuguese, which made me a little proud, but unfortunately, I was laid off before I took up the job because of the temporary translator that the club hired for me!

通过参观，我了解到马里迪莫成立于1910年9月20日，也算是个百年老店了。虽然历史悠久，但拿的出手的荣誉实在少的可怜：1925-1926赛季获得了葡萄牙锦标赛冠军。上世纪90年代末还获得过两次葡萄牙杯赛亚军。在1976-1977、1981-1982、1984-1985获得过葡萄牙甲组联赛南区冠军。至于葡萄牙超级联赛，自参赛以来一直是陪太子读书的命。

However, having said that, the Portuguese Super League is also very perverted. Since its official restructuring and establishment in 2002, it has been the three powerhouses of Sporting Lisbon, Porto, and Benfica. Among them, Sporting Lisbon has never won the league championship.In other words, there are only two champions in the Portuguese Super League so far. Porto has won the most championships, followed by Benfica, and then all the other teams add up, and the number of championships is 0!

Speaking of Maritimo, their old enemy is the national team that also belongs to Madeira Island.

The two teams represent different classes.The supporters of the national team are the middle class and the upper class, while Maritimo is the representative of the bitter middle and lower class and the working class.The difference in class and concept between the two makes the Madeira Derby extremely hot.And Ronaldo also played in the youth teams of both sides back then, which also deepened the conflict between them. Everyone thinks that Ronaldo is a representative figure cultivated by this club!

At the end of the visit, I met with some players of the club's first team. The reason why some players were represented was because the league has ended and everyone is currently on vacation.

I only met a few players and most of them were Chinese!

Sure enough, as Gao Fushuai said, as a club dedicated to the "export to domestic sales" business, Maritimo is frantically hoarding Chinese players.Only through systematic observation, their abilities are generally not high, they have little potential, and they don't have much training value. The Maritimo club has also realized this, so most of them did not sign up for the first team last season.

The Portuguese players who participated in the meeting also seemed to be mediocre. This is also understandable. As one of the leagues that rely most on foreign aid in the world, most of the Portuguese Super League players are foreign players.

However, what makes me a little uncomfortable is that the eyes of those Portuguese players are full of resentment and distrust.

It's no wonder that a little-known Chinese coach suddenly appeared and went to Europe to manage the century-old Portuguese Super League team in the church. No one can easily accept this.What's more, this coach is too young, he looks younger than many players, if it's not related to him, there will be ghosts!

Alas, the road ahead has a long way to go!

April 7

After a day of in-depth understanding, the club's training facilities are relatively old, and there is no such thing as a high-tech training center.

This is also expected. How can a company that is committed to exporting to domestic sales be willing to spend money on training.

But it doesn't matter, I prepare all the training equipment by myself, and buy new ones from the system store, anyway, I have some reputation points.

Coaches like me with their own training facilities are just like long-term workers who go to the landlord’s house to work and bring their own food and dry food. It’s hard to find with a lantern!

As for high-tech equipment, I don't expect the club to spend huge sums of money to buy it for the time being. I will wait and see, and only after I have achieved certain results in leading the team can I have the confidence to speak to the club.

Besides, these things are not in a hurry. High-tech equipment can only be icing on the cake, and it is of little significance for sending charcoal in a timely manner.

Albert Ferez and I talked about team compensation.If I bring my own coaching team, then the club can only pay a team annual salary of 50 euros at most, and I need to raise the rest by myself.

These days, what is 50 Euros enough for?A coaching team must have at least two assistant coaches, a fitness coach, and a goalkeeper coach.This does not include technical and tactical analysts, rehabilitation physical therapists and team doctors.

On average, a person can be at most a few thousand euros a month, and my own annual salary is only a mere 100 million euros. Even if I want to subsidize them, how many nails can I drive even if I am covered in iron?
It seems that I have to find a few fools like myself who don't want money for their career!
Compared with these, I am more worried about the transfer budget.

800 million euros!According to Albert Ferez, this is the best the club can do under the pressure of the financial deficit!

DB's Alfonso moved to Inter Milan, both worth 3500 million euros.This transfer fee can't even buy 1/3 of Alfonso!

Damn, I was a little impulsive when I signed the contract. I always felt that I could find treasures with my own ability, but I forgot that a clever woman can’t cook without rice, and it’s useless to say nothing without money!
April 7

Chen Wenbin and Albert Ferrez are like the sun and the moon, they always appear alternately, and when one appears, the other doesn't know where to hide.

Unlike Albert Ferrez, who had a serious face and was somewhat rigid, Chen Wenbin brought China's wine culture to the extreme.

Everything has to be discussed at the wine table. Without two glasses of 52 degrees as a base, it seems that he will not be able to talk about things.

Damn, I can't bear this style.I used to think that I was good at drinking, but compared with these old-fashioned people in society, it is really far behind.

In other words, there is no such thing as a "thousand cups never fall" in the system store, even if the price is [-] reputation points, I will buy it!
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Wenbin seemed to be confiding in his heart, saying "the boss is very optimistic about you", "you are the best coach in China, bar none", and "the players you coach are all outstanding talents".

Hehe, the high hat throws money on my head like money, showing courteousness for nothing, rape or steal!
I don't want to tell you if I see through, just quietly watch you pretend.

Sure enough, the foreshadowing in front is to hide the final purpose.

Want me to bring some DB players over!
He also said that the salary is easy to negotiate, and it is possible to give players additional benefits in the form of yin and yang contracts without taking the club's public account.

Hehe, no wonder the club can only take out a transfer fee of only 800 million euros!
It turned out that all the money was invested in the Yin-Yang contract!

Although the valuation of the transfer market is generally low for Chinese players, DB players are priceless in the transfer market.No matter who said "I want to transfer", it would be a bloody battle in the domestic transfer market, and a few rich clubs would spend tens of millions without even blinking an eye!

If you want to be a white wolf with empty gloves, you are dreaming and eating your fart!
Now, I even doubt that Jiang Jianzhang signed me because of my talent at all!It's just to be able to poach a few DB players, so that he can earn the difference as a middleman for "export to domestic sales"!
April 7

Many fans came to the gate of the base.

They didn't come to welcome the new manager of the team, on the contrary, they attacked me with the most vicious words.

Not to mention that I am as familiar with Portuguese as my mother tongue, even if I don't understand the language at all, I can feel their deep hostility as long as I see the huge caricature portrait they pull up at the gate of the base.

In the comics, the image of the braided slave holding a football in one hand and tightly clutching a money bag in the other is very similar to the famous villain Wu Manzhou in American comics, and the long braid is dragged behind his buttocks, like a tail, which is the best interpretation of "Get out, yellow monkey" next to the comics.

I bet at least half of the group at the door thought the Chinese were the face in the caricature.

No way, idiots have no borders!
However, judging from the reaction of the fans, I can draw three conclusions: [-]. Maritimo is very influential in the local area, and many fans really care about the team;

The reason why I say that someone wants to mess with me is because the club is currently on vacation. I came to the club secretly to familiarize myself with the environment. Except for the club staff and individual player representatives, no one knew of my arrival.

And I have been here for a few days, and the fans have not come to make trouble.But yesterday, I first complained to Ferez that the club’s signing funds were too low, and the salary for the coaching staff was too low; then I politely rejected Chen Wenbin’s attempt to poach DB’s corner from me.

Immediately today there was a demonstration of fans, obviously trying to give me some color.

But who organized these fans?
Is it the disgruntled Portuguese Albert Ferez?Or is it Chen Wenbin, a Chinese with a small belly and a grudge?Or is it a game they set up together?

In short, I must win over my forces as soon as possible.At least a tripartite situation must be formed.

Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

I even went to Portugal to play Romance of the Three Kingdoms!
April 7

The incident really continued to ferment.

Early in the morning, the newspapers on the desk in my office probably didn't appear there by accident.

The title party of the Portuguese media is also quite 6.

"Portuguese": The arrival of the Chinese coach, Maritimo continues to slide towards the abyss
"Madeira Times": Hundreds of fans gathered spontaneously to show the power of anger to Chinese capital and its lackeys!

"Record": The Far East dragon drives the storm, and the Madeira Voyager (alias Maritimo) hits the rocks!
In fact, looking at the content, we can also understand the anxiety of the Portuguese media.

"A BOIE": "As the second league in Europe that relies on foreign aid (after Cyprus with 66.8% foreign aid), the proportion of foreign aid has reached 63.6%, and the number of foreign aid is still surging. Our league has become a transfer station or a springboard for foreign players to enter Europe, and the competitiveness of the league is declining.

But capital is ruthless. In order to maximize the benefits, they even do not hesitate to suck the last drop of blood from our league and club.In order to expand their influence in their own country, they even hired inexperienced domestic coaches, treating our club as a gimmick and a test field!
Maritimo was one of the top five in the Portuguese Super League before the Chinese capital acquired it, but after the Chinese capital settled in, it has gradually declined.But instead of thinking about it, the Chinese capital has intensified and hired a Chinese who is only 5 years old and has never had professional player experience!

Well, we can mourn for Maritimo, this veteran team will soon bid farewell to the top league!In addition, I advise other clubs not to gloat, because the capital side is like a leech, after draining the blood of a club, it will immediately look for the next target! "

I remember the reporter's name, Duncan Canthus!I hope you prepare more painkillers in advance, so that when your face is swollen in the future, it will not hurt too much!

April 7

Here's a summary of what I did on the flight.

The overall situation is like this: crude club office and training facilities, club management that seems to be in harmony with each other, pitiful salary and transfer budget, players with insufficient ability and potential, fans' extreme distrust of Chinese capital and management team, media who like to stir up flames for fear of chaos...

In short, everything indicates that this will be a sad story, just like Shakespeare said, this cruel pleasure will end in a cruel way!

Hehe, but isn't this interesting?If everything is going well, why should I come?

Now that the main quests of SSSSS difficulty, such as saving Chinese football, have been accepted, what's so scary about a mere Portuguese dungeon!

Laozi 180's CA, it's time to show the real technology!
