In fact, Kanter's situation is usually very rare. Professional coaches like Ranieri usually have their own scouting network, and few talented players can escape their eyes.ΩBiqu ge
It is even rarer for Mahrez and Kante to both come to China. If Zhang Sheng was not a reborn person, he would not have known about these two buried talented players. So when David Mills played in an Asian game
When he saw the two players he had paid attention to in the championship game, he even suspected that he opened the world to watch the game in the wrong way. He watched the pre-match rosters of both sides again and again before confirming the names of Mahrez and Mahrez in this game.
Kante is indeed the Mahrez and Kante he scouted before.
Of course, although this coincidence gave David Mills a big shock, he was more concerned about the current strength of Mahrez and Kante. Through this game, he found that Mahrez and Kante are better in this Chinese team.
The team performed very well. Mahrez's breakthrough was still as sharp as ever, and he also learned to pass the ball at a reasonable time. In addition to maintaining his defensive and sweeping advantages in the midfield, Kante even
There has been some improvement in passing organization.
In David Mills' view, the head coach of this team has done a very good job in training them.
After this game, David Mills added the Dragons to Leicester City's observation scope, and Leicester City's coaching team and management team also began to analyze the various backgrounds and strengths of the Dragons club.
First, they investigated the investor background and organizational structure of Longteng Club. When they saw that the total assets of Longteng Group, the parent company of Longteng Club, reached nearly 52 billion yuan, and the group's growth was showing a straight upward trend, they
I know it is not that easy to buy players from Longteng Club.
Because this is a club that is not short of money, and what they pursue is performance, not how much money they can make by investing in the club. Just look at their top star. The club spent 1,000,000 euros on the purchase of
The acquisition of Brazilian star Pato caused a great sensation in China because he is the most valuable star in the history of Chinese football.
To be honest, even Leicester City itself has never bought such an expensive player. Now you can imagine how difficult it is to seize the opportunity from the Dragon Club.
However, after all, David Mills is only a technical official and rarely participates in the specific purchase and sale of players. His task is to provide the team with potential new stars. As for the issue of player prices, as long as it is not too outrageous, he will not be
What an impact.
Next, David Mills submitted his own scouting report to the club. Both Mahrez and Kante were marked in red by him as key targets for inspection.
Steve Walsh, who received the report from David Mills, felt very strange. This time David Mills' target was Japanese players. Why did he go to inspect but two French players came?
Could it be that David Mills was wrong in the scouting report?
But Steve Walsh soon discovered that things were not that simple, because he also found the previous information of Mahrez and Kante on his yscout platform. The information showed that these two players had a relationship.
The experience of being observed, and the potential they showed is not bad, but after they both went to China, there was no news about them on the yscout platform. After all, the Chinese League is not well-known now.
Chinese football ranks very low in the international arena, and Chinese league clubs do not invest much. In addition, various news about Chinese football, such as match-fixing, gambling, and blackballing, has emerged from time to time in recent years. This makes the yscout platform go to China.
The football league feels that the gain outweighs the gain by collecting information. In their view, who knows whether the information they collect is false, not to mention that the long distance between China and China makes the cost of information collection very high.
Therefore, after Mahrez and Kante came to China, the Yscout platform completely lost their subsequent game information.
But the fact that the two players he liked were recruited by a Chinese club still made Steve Walsh think it was a very interesting thing, so Steve Walsh did not categorically refuse the offer.
David Mills' request for continued inspections led him to find several part-time scouts in China to continue observing these two players.
The investigation of Longteng Club went a step further. Leicester City began to dig up information about personnel in various positions of the club. They soon discovered that this club was not that simple.
First, the resume of their head coach is very intriguing.
Longteng Club head coach Zhang Sheng is obviously not a low-level local coach from a backward football country. He was trained and influenced by Brazilian football as a player, has a bachelor's degree in sports, and later had the experience of studying in Germany. More importantly, he has a bachelor's degree in sports.
He also has the German A-level coaching qualification certificate, which is not that easy to obtain.
Moreover, they knew about Zhang Sheng's performance when he was coaching in Germany through their connections in Germany. It is obvious that he is a young coach with great potential, and his coaching performance is among the best among European coaches of the same age.
Then, after examining Zhang Sheng's coaching performance after returning to China, they now see that under his leadership, the Longteng Club is moving forward in a one-year-by-year model. It is obvious that Zhang Sheng's coaching has passed the test of time and is not a flash in the pan.
After that, Leicester City's information collectors began to pay attention to other players of the Longteng team, and this time they were surprised again.
From the information they collected, they saw that at least three players from Longteng Club went to Europe to play football. Forget about Xu Mingyu, who plays for Sporting Lisbon B team. After all, it is a second-tier league outside the five major European leagues.
But Qin Minghao and Li Yun are not simple. The clubs they play for are the class leaders of the Austrian Football League, and their excellent performance this season has helped the team reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.
The final is a high-level event that Leicester City itself does not dare to dream of now. This proves that Longteng Club has its own excellent system in player training.
However, what makes Leicester City feel more gratified is that Longteng Club is not the kind of club that sticks to the ball. Generally, they will not insist on interfering with players who intend to leave the team. This can be seen from their annual transfer situation.
--There are always more players transferred out than bought in.
At the same time, Leicester City also saw the big development strategy of Longteng Club, which is to establish contact with European clubs. They have established certain player buying and selling channels with Red Bull Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, Sporting Lisbon, and Porto.
Communication channel with the club.
This development strategy of Longteng Club has given Leicester City a certain degree of confidence. After all, they will also start playing in England next season. The reputation of England will not be weaker than that of the German Bundesliga, Austrian League, and Portugal. If Longteng Club intends to compete with the English
If the team establishes contact, I can provide them with such an opportunity.
Based on this judgment, Leicester City felt that it could still be saved. Steve Walsh began to ask David Mills to focus on the Longteng Club, and asked his own yscout platform to start collecting information about the Chinese Professional Football League.
.
Because through the investigation of Longteng Club, Steve Walsh also discovered a big gold mine-the Chinese professional football market. Obviously this is an extremely broad market, and affected by national policies, this market has just been in the
During the boom stage, once the country's football market begins to get on the right track of scientific development, the benefits contained therein will be immeasurable.
With the observation of David Mills and further information collection on the yscout platform, Leicester City is paying more and more attention to the identities of Mahrez and Kante, and their performance is getting better and better.
Being able to make rapid progress in such a low-level league shows that the talents of these two players are absolutely top-notch. Because according to football theory, a low-level league environment has a great negative impact on the growth of players.
Effective, and Mahrez and Kante can make great progress in such a low-level league, which shows that they have more room for improvement after reaching a high-level league.
Especially when Longteng Club continued to advance in the AFC Champions League, and its ranking in the Chinese League continued to improve, and during the intermission period it was ranked behind the Chinese League, Leicester City's coaching staff and scouting team were unanimous
I think it is necessary for the club to apply to the other party for purchase.
First, David Mills secretly began to contact Mahrez and Kante themselves, and proposed to them the idea of letting them play in England.
In fact, according to FIFA regulations, such an approach is illegal. Once discovered, you may be fined or even disqualified from signings for a period of time, because it is clearly stipulated in FIFA's transfer rules.
"If a club wants to sign a player who has a contract, it must first notify the club to which it belongs. For the behavior of directly contacting players privately and secretly, bypassing the other club, the injured club can appeal to FIFA."
However, there is a big loophole in such a regulation, that is, the club making the complaint must provide conclusive evidence. This evidence must clearly prove that the buyer has direct contact with the player without notifying the club.
It is a pity that as long as the buyer wants to buy a player, there are a hundred ways for the buyer to make the other party helpless.
For example, the buyer can not come forward himself and let the player's relatives convey the intention to buy, or he can convey the intention through the player's club teammates, he can also convey the intention through the player's national team teammates, and even more bizarre private contacts are also possible.
Make the player's club defenseless.
The most famous example in China is the transfer of Liu Jian, a player from Qingdao Zhongneng who was once very popular, to Guangzhou Evergrande.
Liu Jian's transfer experienced a series of problems such as "clubs contacting players privately", "yin and yang contracts", "forged contracts", etc. Although this matter ended with Liu Jian's free transfer to Guangzhou Evergrande, Qingdao Zhongneng was unanimously criticized by the outside world.
It ended with scolding. As the parties involved, Guangzhou Evergrande, Qingdao Zhongneng, and even the arbitrator, the Chinese Football Association, in the process of handling the dispute, none of them was flawless and innocent. Through this dispute, we can only sigh
, Chinese football is just like what is sung in the opera: There are no good people in Hongtong County.
Although Evergrande speaks righteously, to a certain extent, Qingdao Zhongneng is the real victim. The most criticized thing about Guangzhou Evergrande is that it secretly bypasses the opponent's club and directly contacts the players. They are the ones who are responsible for this.
The instigator of the Monk’s Chaotic Gourd Case Incident.
Of course, while everyone is complaining about the imperfect agent system in the domestic transfer market, it is not the White Lotus abroad either.
Even in European football, which has a very mature transfer market and has a history of decades, such things are not uncommon.
Not to mention the transfers of ordinary players who have not received much attention, there are endless examples of private contacts in the transfers of well-known stars.
For example, the very famous Cesc Fabregas transfer drama involved familiar names such as Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid, etc. Among them, Real Madrid secretly contacted Cesc Fabregas or he gave it to Sky himself.
Sports revealed.
So what if Fabregas directly exposed the matter? How to transfer is not how to operate.
There are countless more bizarre things to say. For example, Bayern Munich gave Deisler 2,000,000 marks in order to bring in Hertha Berlin, but Hertha Berlin, which had long held a grudge, caught him through the media.
Under the instigation of Bayern, Deisler gave the reason for making people complain. He said that he was in charge of the money Bayern borrowed and then paid it back.
No one with a normal IQ would believe such a reason, but once the person involved insists on this statement, there is nothing you can do about him.
Of course, not every club is in a strong position, and there are many cases where players contact players privately and use them to raise their value.
The most famous example is the transfer farce involving Dortmund player Kyle.
Kyle, whose contract was about to expire, had been unwilling to renew his contract with Dortmund. Bayern, who was eager for talents, contacted him privately, initialed the contract with him, and gave him a deposit. Finally, Dortmund, who was shocked by the news, took out a contract.
A more generous contract, and Kyle successfully signed his name on it. After the contract was completed, Kyle broke the contract with Bayern and refunded the deposit. Kyle's plan to raise the price "went through."
This time it was Bayern Munich that was hurt.
So this kind of private contact is really nothing to make a fuss about. Of course, such rules are riddled with holes in front of the Chinese who are good at exploiting loopholes. Chinese clubs use this method to poach people in Brazil, even to the point of being desperate.
Brazilian giants are suing FIFA over claims that Chinese teams abducted their players.
This is exactly what David Mills did. (To be continued.)
