Chapter 499 Harry Potter and York City(2/2)

Scaloni, even Chairman McGill and Director Horta have never been aloof, but they are as close to the players and staff as a family.

Therefore, when recruiting Porter, you can also say "If you don't belong to the same family, you won't join the same family."

And Pan Yi had done his homework in advance and learned about tomorrow's performance from the Ostersund Club, so he came directly to the theater.

——

After watching the somewhat eye-catching "Swan Lake" in Taitung, Pan Yi walked backstage.

After all, as the "protagonist", Porter had a dressing room to himself, which was convenient for Pan Yi's visit.

At this time, Porter was taking off his makeup, and when he felt someone coming in at the door, he looked up and was stunned for a moment.

"Pan...Pan Yi?"

In the dim light of Taitung, no one could recognize Pan Yi, but under the lights in the dressing room, Porter could not help but recognize the most awesome football coach in the world at a glance.

"No." Pan Yi said, taking off his sunglasses.

The first impression that Porter's face gave to Pan Yi was that of deep hatred and bitterness. His brows were always deeply furrowed, as if there were always troubles that could not be resolved.

Feeling a bit like Allegri? He looks embarrassed all day long.

"Why am I here tomorrow?" Porter asked, then suddenly slapped his head, "I'm not looking at any of his players, right?"

It is no secret that Pan Yi is good at collecting unknown players from all corners of the world and then turning them into famous stars.

Let's not talk about the past. That season Pan Yi took away an Aman from the Norwegian league that almost no one knew, and now that Aman has already made a killing in the English League One.

As the Swedish Super League is similar to the Norwegian league, or even slightly better, it is not particularly unusual for players to be favored by Pan Yi.

Although it is quite some time before the English League winter window opens, it is already November after all.

Contacting relevant clubs and players earlier can also better prepare for the opening of the transfer window. This is considered a routine operation of each club, so it is normal for Pan Yi to do that.

"No Bois Nouri?" Porter began to guess, "He is the core of his midfield. It would be very troublesome for him to leave. It would be difficult to find a replacement at that time...ah, he knows,

No Jamie Hopcart! He is a former York City player and I definitely want him back!"

Because of Pan Yi's magic, everyone knows that it is difficult for players to refuse invitations from York City, especially from small clubs in places like Norway and Sweden.

So Porter has begun to worry about the future of his team. After all, he really wants to take the team to the next level!

As he talked, he thought, Potter's face looked more like a bitter melon.

"No, did he invite me to join York City?" Pan Yi got straight to the point.

"Ah?" Dong Bo opened his mouth wide, like a cut bitter melon.

On the one hand, he didn't expect Pan Yi to come on his own, and on the other hand, his heart was really shaken.

There are many rich bosses in the football world today, and there are also some bosses who are rich and willing to invest in football. But there are very few bosses who are rich and willing to invest in football. At the same time, they have deep feelings for football and understand football very well.

Pan Yi's background as a coach obviously gave Porter a deeper sense of identification with him, not to mention that the football Pan Yi played when he led the team was not the kind of football that Porter dreamed of!

Including what he is currently using in the Ostersund team, he was actually inspired by Pan Yi's three-back system and launched it based on the actual situation of the team.

"But...can I not have Scaloni already? He leads the team very well." Porter asked one of his doubts.

"Haha, it seems that I am not very concerned about their team, at least very concerned about English football." Pan Yi said with a smile, "He did not let me take his place instead of being the technical director of their team.

how?"

The position of technical director is not available at many English clubs, including York City now.

Pan Yi plans to invite Porter to take up the position. This position is more like an assistant and consultant to the head coach, taking into account the affairs of the youth training camp, player training, etc.

In that case, it can not only help Scaloni in all aspects of competition and training, but also make full use of Porter's characteristics.

After all, does Porter have the ability to formulate and implement things that are beneficial to the development of the team from the perspective of the entire club?

If you give him a higher position and authority, will you encourage him to do it more freely?

At the same time, this would also be a way to attract Porter to return to England at that stage. After all, although Porter is not in the Swedish league now, he is still a head coach.

If we just ask him to come back as an assistant coach, it will obviously not be attractive enough.

As for the real full-time assistant coach... Pan Yi has someone else in mind at this time!

"They are really sincere, Mr. Porter." Seeing the confusion and hesitation on Porter's face, Pan Yi added,

"Tan Hong said that York City is just a small team at the moment, but they will be upgraded next year, and will probably continue to be upgraded next year. In the future, they will enter Europe, and I can realize my ambition there!"

"York City can be my destination, and it can also be my springboard. When the time comes, I am willing to be the head coach of a new team, and he will never stop me."

"Nagelsmann, Inzaghi, Arteta, including the current York City coach Scaloni, I know all of them. They were all his assistant coaches before, but now they have started their own coaching careers.

.”

"Believe in him and follow him. It will be easier for you to attract the attention of strong European teams than me in Sweden!"

Potter was stunned when he heard this.

His previous ideal was, of course, to return to the mainstream European leagues, or even to coach a Premier League team in his hometown of England!

After coming to Sweden and coaching a fourth-level league team, it can be said that he has adopted a strategy of saving the country through curves.

Otherwise, an Englishman would go to the freezing cold Sweden to coach?

Is it because his career resume is too mediocre and no English professional team is willing to invite him to be the head coach after he retires?

However, when the team in the small town of 60,000 people in north-central Sweden, which had fallen to the fourth tier of the Swedish league, invited him, he accepted.

Unfortunately, that job was not enough to bring him the professional recognition he desired.

So when he went to St. George's Park (the FA headquarters) for the first time to apply for UEFA's professional coaching course, he was stopped outside the classroom door: Who am I? What am I doing here? I'm enough.

Are you qualified?

Those three questions of the soul have been running through Porter's entire career.

Even if he now leads Ostersund to the Swedish top league, it will obviously be difficult to gain recognition from English football.

——After all, he really attracted the attention of English football when he led the team to defeat Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, and that incident has hardly happened now.

And Ruming, Pan Yi mistakenly made a promise to Porter, which obviously hit his heart!

Pan Yi is right. It is indeed easier to get ahead by following the most awesome football coach in the world.

Is Mr. Pan Yi willing or even encouraging to let his disciples go out and teach independently?

On the one hand, is it because Pan Yi thinks about their future? On the other hand, it also shows that those disciples have made rapid progress with Pan Yi, otherwise they would not be accepted by the teams in the five major leagues.

Taken together, isn't that a hundred times better than staying in Sweden with a team that no one knows about?

Moreover, Porter had played for York City as a player and was familiar with the environment there, so he really had no reason to refuse.

"But no, he has a contract with Ostersund, and he's afraid..." Porter moved his lips and expressed his initial doubts.

"Don't worry, he will handle the contract matters. Depending on how much the termination fee is, their club will help me pay it!" Pan Yi said with great wealth.

The fact is that in leagues in countries like Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, the salary of the head coach is basically a few thousand euros per week, so the termination fee is not very high.

For Porter, the termination fee of tens of thousands to one hundred thousand euros is something he cannot afford, but Pan Yi can easily help him "redeemed", so it is not a big deal at all.

Pan Yi does not have the ability to make money!

He was saving money at that stage. On the one hand, it was not time to really spend money. On the other hand, he also wanted to avoid giving them the impression that he was a "big dog" and being ripped off for no reason.

Besides, every sponsor is currently trying hard to get money from the club. Even the profit part is enough for the team to cover its own profits and losses. Where is the need to use Pan Yi's small treasury?

Therefore, can Pan Yi feel comfortable being a "back-up" boss now and wait until there is any big demand for funds later?

This is not the biggest guarantee for York City.

Although having money may not necessarily mean you can compete in the Premier League, having money can at least ensure the management of the club and prevent the team's development from being suddenly hindered.

There are many cases of selling players, team facilities, or even selling stadiums and eventually going bankrupt due to lack of money!

But now that he heard Pan Yidu say that, Porter naturally no longer hesitated and nodded immediately in agreement!

Things will be simple after that.

Pan Yi stayed in Sweden for two days, allowing Valentina to enjoy a good time in the "food city" of Ostersund, and helped Porter resolve the contract issue with the Ostersund club.

The club didn't have too many difficulties when Porter left. After all, Pan Yi had agreed to pay the termination fee, so he easily let Porter leave.

Then, "Harry Potter" finally reached his "Magic Kingdom"!

After all, in the "Harry Potter" series of movies, the train station Hogsmeade Station where Hogwarts is located and the Magic Street and Twist Alley were all shot in Yorkshire or were their inspirations.

.

After taking care of Porter, Pan Yi immediately took Valentina to Italy.
