Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Seventh Sweeping Team Trash
While social news is filled with various news about charity foundation scandals, in domestic football and sports circles, more attention has been diverted to the change of ownership of Donghai Magnolia Football Club.
It also caused quite an earthquake in the Donghai fan circle.
Various sports media have also made repeated reports on this.
"Mysterious private tycoon spends 300 million to acquire Donghai Magnolia Football Club!"
"The old and powerful team has a new owner! I wonder if the new owner can bring new strength to this team?"
"The identity of the new owner of Wenchen Club is revealed, he is suspected to be the son of the richest man in Southern Capital!"
"Is it just fun or hard work? Let's wait and see what the future holds for Wenchen Club!"
Due to the dispute that Lin Chen was currently involved in this acquisition, after discussing with Zhao Wenxuan, the two decided to temporarily push Zhao Wenxuan to the front desk. As the real owner of the club, Lin Chen stayed behind the scenes to avoid involving the club in outside disputes.
Lin Chen and Chen Yun Foundation are in the midst of a storm of public opinion.
However, although Zhao Wenxuan is at the front of the stage, it is Lin Chen who really makes the decision on club affairs.
When Zhao Wenxuan first started, it wasn't like he never thought about handling the club's affairs himself.
But the more he learned, the more doubtful he became about whether it was worthwhile for him to acquire the club.
Just the day after the club changed its name.
The new manager’s office of Wenchen Football Club.
Zhao Wenxuan handed a newspaper to Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, look at it, the outside world is not very optimistic about us right now."
Lin Chen then took the newspaper and glanced at it.
I saw an expert's comment on the change of ownership of Wenchen Club: "This change of ownership of Magnolia Club is very sudden. Although the new owner has spent 300 million to acquire the team, I would like to say that this is
A very foolish transaction."
"As we all know, the performance of the team that has been renamed Wenchen Club is not ideal this season. Now halfway through the season, the team's performance is only sixth, and the morale of the players is also very low. If the new boss cannot reverse the current decline in the team,
In the second half of this season, I am afraid the situation will not be optimistic, and even relegation is not impossible!"
"If the team ends up being relegated, the new owner will suffer eternal infamy, because since the establishment of Wenchen Club, it has always been a top domestic football club and has never left the ranks of domestic first-tier clubs!"
"So, I would like to advise this new boss here, please treat the Magnolia Club with caution. If you can't achieve results, please let go as soon as possible, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of Magnolia Club fans in the East China Sea will never let you go.
of!"
When Lin Chen saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Oh, what a mess, is this a threat to your life?"
"Although this person is average, Brother Lin, it seems that the outside world is not optimistic about us. I wonder if you have any plans now?" Zhao Wenxuan asked.
Next to him, Xu Bao, who had been listening with his head down, also pricked up his ears.
Today is the first day after Lin Chen and the others acquired the club.
Although neither Lin Chen nor Zhao Wenxuan has made any changes within the team so far, the new officials have made three fires since taking office, and Xu Bao is not sure that the next fire set by the other party will not burn him.
Lin Chen clasped his hands together, looked at Zhao Wenxuan and said, "Brother Zhao, I already have a plan, but this movement is a bit large. I wonder if you can accept it, Brother Zhao?"
"A bit big?" Zhao Wenxuan was stunned, but he said without hesitation: "Brother Lin, I asked you to play football together because I hope you can help me advise. If you have any ideas, just tell me, I will never have any objections.
"
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, next question, Brother Zhao, I have two plans for the future of the team. I wonder which one do you plan to choose?"
"Two options? Do you have any explanation?" Zhao Wenxuan asked.
Lin Chen said: "These two plans, one is fast and the other is slow, the former can quickly make our team number one in the country! The latter may make the team's performance decline sharply over a period of time, and may even lead to relegation.
, but this team is likely to become the king of Chinese football in the future."
Zhao Wenxuan suddenly became interested, sat up straight, and asked: "Brother Lin, can you explain it to me carefully?"
"The first plan is very simple. It's the transfer period now. I plan to fire all the overseas players in the team and go directly to recruit three top forwards and midfielders abroad. I'm not looking down on others. I just rely on domestic players.
With the level of those players, an offensive lineup composed of four top players is enough to crush them."
"Mr. Lin..."
Xu Bao listened curiously: "When you talk about top players, what level is considered a top player?"
"The kind of Ronaldo."
"Pfft~!" Xu Bao almost choked on his saliva, "Boss, Ronaldo's transfer fee..."
"Fifty million dollars to find four players of that level. Manager Xu, do you think there is a problem?"
Wow!
Xu Bao stood up directly.
"Five, five, five hundred million? US dollars? Lin, Mr. Lin, are you kidding me?"
So far this year, the largest player transfer fee in the world is only about US$50 million. US$500 million is not only enough, it is simply more than enough!
"Do you think I look like it?"
Lin Chen glanced at him and did not continue.
"Brother Lin, 500 million US dollars is indeed enough, but it seems pointless to rely on foreign aid to play games like this, right?"
Zhao Wenxuan did not doubt Lin Chen's words, and believed that Lin Chen would definitely be able to invite top foreign players, but he felt that it was meaningless to improve the team's performance in this way.
Relying on foreign aid to win first place in the Chinese league, isn't that the same as playing a game and directly adjusting the players' values to full level?
If he wants to watch those foreign players play games, why doesn't he just buy foreign teams? Why bother to get involved in the muddy waters of domestic football?
"It makes no sense, so I prepared the second option."
"Brother Lin, please tell me quickly."
"The second option is to fire all the rubbish in the current team and replace them with young players who are capable or willing to work hard..."
"Wait!" Xu Bao interrupted, "Mr. Lin, you said we should fire the trash, who do you want to fire?"
Xu Bao felt as if he had heard something extraordinary.
"Those three foreign coaches, as well as Gao Yun and Xie Ping on the team..."
Hearing Lin Chen announce the players' names one by one, Xu Bao's mouth opened slightly from the beginning, and in the end he could almost effortlessly stuff a duck egg.
"Lin, Mr. Lin, with your list, more than half of the main players in the team will be fired by you!"
Xu Bao frowned and advised: "Manager Lin, you wouldn't fire someone just because they were lax on the field yesterday? This is too..."
Lin Chen said, "Manager Xu, don't think I don't know. Those people I just mentioned, they engage in match-fixing, neglect training, and drink and pick up girls during games. They should all do these things, right?"
"A bunch of rubbish. They don't have the level of big-name stars, but they have the style and salary of big-name stars. We at Wenchen Club don't want any of these rubbish players!"
