We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 5: Perfect signings, bad start (please read on, click a little every day)

However, soon someone came and called the shepherd boy away.

When he pushed open the door of the club's reception room, he found that the Italian visitor stretched out his right hand towards him: "I am He Tianqi, your future assistant coach, welcome to Palermo... Luka Modric!"

Modric couldn't believe it: "Me? Why? I didn't perform well just now."

The Dinamo Zagreb staff wanted to sew Modric's mouth shut.

You are talking!

We can’t let this 400,000 euro deal fall through!
He Tianqi nodded: "It was a little unexpectedly bad, but now that I'm here, it will be hard to report to the boss if I don't bring someone back."

Modric's face sank and he shook his head: "If that's the case, I don't want to join Palermo. I want to go to a club where I can play a role."

"This is not up to you!" The staff member couldn't wait to hand the contract to He Tianqi.

He Tianqi was very satisfied with the price. He originally thought it would cost one million euros, but the other party actually took the initiative to lower the price.

Beautiful!
He Tianqi put away the contract, turned to look at Modric, and smiled: "I appreciate your attitude! I was just joking with you just now."

"You have many shortcomings, but they can be made up for."

"You still have a lot of good qualities, and that's precious."

"You will become a world-class midfield star in Palermo."

Dinamo Zagreb staff believe that He Tianqi is just making empty promises.

Modric also thought this was outrageous: "Me? A world-class star? Don't lie to me, I just want to play well and make money."

He Tianqi smiled.

The price has been lowered, the contract has been signed, it's time to tell the truth: "You won't be short of money, believe me. I think you can be even bolder! Ballon d'Or midfielder, do you dare to think about it?"

Phew!

Hahaha!
The whole room erupted in laughter.

The Dinamo Zagreb staff laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes.

They are also professionally trained and generally don't laugh unless they can't help it.

Did He Zhen mistake Croatia for Brazil?

Can you just pick up anyone and train him into a superstar?
Let me tell you, this kid’s upper limit is playing in Serie C.

If you get promoted to Serie B, you might want to throw him away!

Amid waves of laughter, He Tianqi led the blushing Modric out of the office building.

As he walked, He Tianqi said: "In the future, a bronze statue of you will be erected here."

"Over there, and over there, the entire training ground will be renamed Luka Youth Training Camp."

"And Dinamo Zagreb's home stadium will be called the Modric Stadium!"

"You will lead Croatia to the best record in the World Cup, you will..."

“Do you think it’s outrageous?”

"I find it outrageous, too, but that's all you can do."

"As long as you are willing to follow me out, to Italy, to the whole world!"

Modric's eyes were red and he nodded, trying hard to hold back his tears.

He is not stupid, he knows that these are impossible to achieve.

But he felt the kindness of this man who was only a few years older than him.

In order not to let his self-esteem be hurt, He Tianqi would rather be treated as a fool by the staff of Dinamo Zagreb!

The future he wove was as false as a bubble, ready to burst at any moment.

But Modric vowed that he would not burst this beautiful bubble.

He will work hard to realize this dream.

For myself, and also for He Tianqi!

...After returning to Sicily, He Tianqi saw the progress of Camignani's recruitment from the newspaper.

"Champion coach Camignani takes action, Serie B youngster Chiellini transfers to the Pink Eagles Palermo!"

"A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog! Fiorentina, which has fallen into the fourth-tier league, has its loan target Quagliarella snatched away by Palermo!"

Coconut and Kua Shen, return!

Not only that, Camignani also brought a surprise to He Tianqi.

Because Italy and France are close, after finishing the business at hand, old Cami went to Ales, France, and completed the transaction regarding the player Frank Ribery with the Ales Football Club in the French Ligue 3.

Ales was on the verge of bankruptcy and urgently needed to raise funds.

They sold this capable and troublesome player for 200,000 euros.

When Ribery heard that his salary would double, he readily agreed to go to Italy.

In this way, the transfer list proposed by He Tianqi was all implemented.

Camignani himself didn't know what kind of transactions he had completed with He Tianqi this summer!
He Tianqi also felt the respect and cultivation of Old Kami.

So he decided that in the days to come, he would remind Old Kami to take his medicine on time and not to cheat this "mentor".

After helping old Kami get a good result, he went to try his luck elsewhere.

He will definitely realize his dream.

But he will never lose his character.

This is his life creed.

In an interview about the team's transfer, He Tianqi praised Camignani and said: "The gears of history were turned by a wise man named Camignani this summer."

"From now on, there is a touch of pink in the sky of Italian football!"

But the outside world has other opinions on Palermo's transfer operations this summer.

"From assistant coach He Tianqi to boy scout Modric, Palermo tries to stir up a youth storm with no future!"

"A group of children cannot become the beautiful legend of Sicily! He Tianqi is not the Monica Bellucci of Palermo!"

"The signings were not good! Camignani's eyesight was blurry, and he mistakenly trusted He Tianqi and messed up the transfer window!"

"Pink Eagles fans are dissatisfied with the team's summer transfer window operations, Palermo urgently recruits Arturo Napoli, who is ready to fight!"

Bad review!

Bad review!

All bad reviews!

Even the team owner Zamparini frequently asked about player recruitment.

If he had not focused on replacing the management this summer, he would not have given Camignani and He Tianqi so much room to maneuver.

As the new season begins, public opinion is becoming reality.

Although Camignani fully respected He Tianqi's opinions, he still had his own tactical understanding.

He used strong new recruits such as Vidic and Ribery.

Giving Chiellini and Quagliarella the chance to rotate.

But there is really no way to use abstract players like Modric and Ashley Young.

The former couldn't hold the ball at all, and his erratic pass made his own players frightened.

The latter was unable to shoot, dribble past opponents or pass the ball, and his team was equivalent to having one less player after coming on the field.

In addition, Camignani was reluctant to give up his three-center-back system, or it could be said that the three-center-back system was still the main theme in Italy at this stage.

But the team's players are not fully adapted to the three-center-back system.

Therefore, Palermo's performance did not meet public expectations.
