Football nukes: a pound buys a club

At the press conference after the game, all the spotlights were on Zhang Chong.

A reporter asked: "Coach Zhang, for you, who is the biggest contributor to the team this season?"

Zhang Chong thought for a while: "It's a man named Bain."

Bain?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Only the reporter from the Manchester Evening News seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Sure enough, Zhang Chong said: "The entire season, whenever our team encountered setbacks and fell into a trough, this Bain reporter would jump out and speak nonsense. But this is an encouragement for us, allowing us to make great strides all the way. Win this championship. Here, I would like to thank this Bain reporter. Although we have not met, his spirit has been guiding us to win one after another. I hope he can still die next season The duck mouth is tough, let us go to the next level!"

All the reporters burst into laughter, only the reporter from the Manchester Evening News had a weird face, wanting to laugh but embarrassed to laugh, very uncomfortable.

The next day, many mainstream sports newspapers published Zhang Chong's interview.

In an office of the Manchester Evening News, an angry Bain roared and slammed his fist on the desk: "Zhang Chong, your grandma has such a leg!"

Naturally, Zhang Chong didn't know Bain's reaction. After rushing back to Bury, he immediately came to the youth team training ground without stopping.

Here, the annual recruiting event is being held.

For him, this activity is comparable to opening a blind box. Although he knows that the winning rate is not high, he still holds out hope.

When he arrived, the trial training had already begun.

All the young players are completing the instructions meticulously, and it can be seen that the basic skills are not bad.

It's just that after looking at their attributes, he realized that there were indeed no outstanding children in this year's batch.

He was a little disappointed: "That's it? Didn't we just invest money to expand the scope of scouting? Why is it not as good as last year?"

Weller said: "These people are the same as last year. They came to us after failing to try out for other high-level teams. Naturally, there are not many good seedlings."

Zhang Chong frowned: "Then what about our newly recruited scouts? We didn't recruit anyone?"

He thought about it, and the new scout seemed to be called Jimmy Taylor, and he was the one he had decided on.

Weller was a little helpless: "Taylor is on his way back from Scotland. He only recruited one person this time, but according to him, he is a real genius."

When Zhang Chong heard this, he immediately became interested.He knew that although Jimmy Taylor was only 30 years old, he was very capable, and his attribute for judging a player's potential was as high as 19.It was precisely because of his fancy that Zhang Chong finally chose him, who was little-known.

So he turned to Weller and asked, "Where did they go?"

Weller made a phone call and said to Zhang Chong, "They've got off the plane and are rushing to our club."

Zhang Chong nodded: "Call me when they arrive."

Weller asked, "You stopped watching the workout?"

Zhang Chong waved his hand: "Don't look at it, hot eyes."

Although he has a modifier in his hand, he still keeps a respectful distance from players with low professionalism and poor willpower.

This kind of player is not suitable to be a professional player in essence, and Zhang Chong doesn't want to waste opportunities on them.

But none of the players on the court met his requirements.

So he returned to his office and half-lyed on the sofa thinking about life.

Half an hour later, he got a call from Weller: "They're here."

He sat up and walked towards the training ground.

From a distance, he saw a skinny teenager standing bored, and Jimmy Taylor next to him was talking to Weller.

When he got closer, he looked at the boy's attributes, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

This young man has an ability value of 115, a potential of 157, professionalism of 13, ambition of 15, willpower of 11, and mental attributes are not too problematic.

It's just that his emotional control and adaptability attributes are relatively poor, only 5 and 3 respectively, and his tendency to quarrel is 15, which shows that he is a player with a bad temper and easy homesickness.

Hmm... a troubled teenager, but rescuable.

Weller and Taylor saw Zhang Chong and hurriedly greeted him.

Zhang Chong nodded in response: "This little guy is the genius you mentioned?"

Taylor was very excited: "Yes, Trey is the most talented kid I found in Scotland."

As he spoke, he gestured to the boy with his eyes: "Trey, this is Mr. Zhang Chong, the chairman of the Bury Club."

Trey turned around shyly: "Mr. Chairman, hello, my name is Trey Keane."

Zhang Chong turned to Trey: "Hello."

Then the two sides fell silent.

Taylor reluctantly introduced Trey Keane: "Trey Keane, 17 years old this year, is a left midfielder or left forward. He was originally a youth training player of the Scottish Super League Dundee United."

Zhang Chong nodded: "I see, there will be a confrontation match later, let him play a match!"

Trey Keane also nodded, and went to the side for warm-up activities.

Zhang Chong couldn't help laughing, this kid is a bit interesting, everyone looks like he owes him 200 yuan.

Taylor took the opportunity to introduce to Zhang Chong: "Trey Keane's technical ability is not a problem at all, but he has a bad temper. He was expelled from Dundee United because of fighting with the coach."

Zhang Chong raised his eyebrows: "Are you so irritable?"

Taylor sighed: "Actually, I don't blame him. The youth training coach always let his nephew play through the back door, and Trey Keane fought for the teammate who was replaced, and the two just started fighting."

Zhang Chong was a little surprised: "This guy is quite righteous."

Taylor looked at little Kean who was warming up alone there, and smiled: "Although this young man has a grumpy temper, he is very kind-hearted. If it wasn't for treating his brother this time, he wouldn't have come here with me. "

Zhang Chong was a little embarrassed: "But... the salary of our youth team is not high! You won't make a big deal for him, will you? Be careful that he beats you!"

Taylor said: "I promised him that if the trial training is successful, he will have the opportunity to play in the first team within half a year, and his salary will be raised according to the number of appearances he plays."

Zhang Chong nodded: "Well, this is fine."

At this time, the intra-group competition is about to begin.

Weller took Keane Jr. over and asked him to join one of the teams.

The game officially begins.

While watching the situation on the field, Zhang Chong asked Taylor, "What's wrong with his brother?"

Taylor replied: "Congenital heart disease, according to his parents, needs surgery within two years."

Zhang Chong asked, "How much will it cost?"

Taylor thought for a while: "About 30 pounds! His family's situation is not very good, and this money is a big burden."

Zhang Chong looked at the nimble little Keen on the field, thoughtful.
