After finishing his morning recovery training, Boloni walked straight to the technical director's office.
This is the notification I received before the training session.
On the way, Lionel Pontes, now a member of the technical team, caught up from behind.
"Have you heard what happened?" Boloni asked with concern.
The technical department has fixed routine meetings, which mainly discuss various football matters. Meetings like today's meeting at short notice are usually held at short notice when something goes wrong.
Pontes shook his head, "I only found out about it before training. It seems to be the situation with the second team."
After hearing this, Boloni's brows still did not loosen.
For the situation of the second team, just ask the second team coach James, why should he also participate?
It's certainly not that simple.
…
The two came side by side to the office of technical director Aurelio Pereira.
As soon as I knocked on the door, I found that the head coach of the second team, Jean James, was already sitting inside, along with another member of the technical team, Nuno Nare.
But the real surprise is that director of football Carlos Freitas is also there.
The football director and the technical director are two different positions. In the club management system, the football director can be regarded as the superior of the technical director, because the technical director is only responsible for technology and youth training, while the football director has some operational powers.
, even including the power of life and death such as the appointment of head coach, player contract renewal and transfer.
If Aurelio Pereira called them over for a meeting, it should be a technical matter, but the director of football is also there, which means that the things to be discussed next are related to the thoughts of the club's leadership.
"Sit down." Aurelio Pereira saw the two people coming in and immediately asked them to sit down.
Although he is said to be the technical director, in fact, he and Carlos Freitas are more divided and cooperate because Sporting Lisbon also includes a women's football team, so the football director's scope of authority will be larger.
But Aurelio Pereira has been with the club for many years and is responsible for technical and youth training, so he can be considered a veteran.
After Boloni and Pontes sat down, Pereira made them each a cup of coffee before today's high-level meeting began.
"I invite everyone to come here today, mainly to discuss some of the problems the team has encountered recently."
Aurelio took the lead in speaking and opened up the topic of today's meeting.
“I don’t know if you have noticed that in the past few days, there are often some fans watching outside our training ground. According to the feedback of our patrolling staff, many of them are scouts from other teams, and some even come from other countries.
nation."
Arranging scouts to spy on military intelligence is very common in professional teams and is not uncommon.
But Aurelio obviously meant more than that.
Sporting Lisbon has vigorously promoted young players in recent years, especially in the past two years, a group of outstanding players have emerged, among which Quaresma is the most eye-catching, which has attracted the attention of many European teams.
Sporting Lisbon.
"Since last year, the German media giant Kirch Group has experienced a debt crisis, which has torn away the illusion of prosperity in European football in the past few years. Now many Bundesliga teams are in deep financial quagmire, and even football teams in other European leagues are in deep financial quagmire.
The team also had too much time to take care of themselves.”
Director of Football Carlos Freitas took up Aurelio's words and analyzed the current situation in European football.
"On the one hand, a group of wealthy teams, led by Real Madrid and Manchester United, have begun to globalize. They have the most influential superstars, the highest influence in the world, amazing financial income, and the ability to pay sky-high prices.
Go buy the best superstars, especially from a members-only team like Real Madrid."
"But on the other hand, the Kirsch Group's debt crisis is just the beginning. Many mid-tier and even mid-tier and upper-tier teams are experiencing financial difficulties. It is said that many teams in the Premier League are so depressed that they want to take their players to the bank.
You have to take a mortgage to get a loan, and other leagues are in the same bad situation."
When he said this, Carlos Freitas sighed, "We at Sporting Lisbon are also not ideal. Although it is not bad enough to mortgage players, we must also operate cautiously."
Everyone nodded, this was the general tone.
As early as last year, even as early as Sporting Lisbon decided to build the Alcoschetti training base, this was already the decided operating tone.
"Some giant clubs, led by Real Madrid and Manchester United, as well as teams such as Roma and Lazio in Serie A, have invested heavily, which has made the supply of stars in the entire transfer market very scarce, and many teams with insufficient financial resources have moved.
Targeting, looking at young players, teams like ours at Sporting Lisbon and Ajax, are often their targets."
Although Sporting Lisbon is still not comparable to top youth training teams like Ajax, with the rise of Portugal's golden generation headed by Figo and Rui Costa, Portugal's youth training strength and landing as a South American player
The best pedal in the four major leagues, the Portuguese Supernatural has received considerable attention.
"What the board of directors means is that we still cannot invest in the transfer market this summer and still have to dig internally. Not only that, we may have to reduce some expenses or even sell some players early."
This is the real purpose of Carlos Freitas attending this meeting.
When Boloni heard this, the first thing he thought of was Jardel.
Many people believe that the transfer that caused a lot of noise during the winter break was caused by Jardel and his agent.
But then I thought about it, didn’t Sporting Lisbon think so?
No, they thought about it and wanted to sell it.
Although it is a bit cold-blooded and cruel, to a certain extent, running a club is like running a company, and the players are the products of this company.
From a competitive perspective, Jardel has scored a lot of goals since joining, which is a success. However, from an economic perspective, Jardel, who will be 29 years old after this season, has been a success since joining.
A consumable item does not have much value-preserving properties, and it will only become cheaper and cheaper.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In other words, every goal is consuming Jardel's market value.
The best thing is not to buy it in the first place, but now that you have bought it, stop the loss as soon as possible.
But other clubs are not stupid either. They are also unwilling to provide Jardel with generous transfer fees and at the same time pay his high annual salary. This is the core factor that prevents Jardel from transferring to the four major leagues.
In fact, many people in the club opposed the purchase of Jardel. Boloni objected from a technical perspective and others from an economic perspective. But in the end, the club chose to buy it considering the immediate benefits.
As a result, I bought a hot potato that was hard to shake off.
This sounds very contradictory.
A striker who scored a lot of goals has become a star that the team is eager to sell off. Who would believe it?
But for a team like Sporting Lisbon, it is so ironic.
…
"Yesterday, Amadora's head coach Jorge Jesus talked to James about Sudong. He was very interested. Then Amadora also called us to learn about Sudong's situation. They
You can accept transfers and loans, or loan first and then transfer."
Aurelio Pereira told another story.
"Jesus is a very capable head coach. Without him, Amadora will be relegated. The players he values are generally not bad, so I don't think it is a good idea to sell Sudong to them.
Decision, although the price may not be bad." Pontes expressed his opinion.
"How is he doing?" Aurelio asked.
"The progress is very rapid, even..." Pontes pondered his wording, "...it surprised me."
Aurelio turned to look at Boloni, wanting to know what the first-team coach thought.
If you don't have a chance in the first team, then renting or transferring are both good options.
Because of this change of hands, Sporting Lisbon is likely to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros.
"Su Dong's performance in training and group competition with the first team is still relatively poor, but this is normal. Like all young players who have just entered the adult team, he needs a period of adaptation to get used to adults' close combat and cruel competition.
, getting used to fast-paced offense and defense, this is a cruel and long-term process."
"From a physical point of view, I have an advantage among my peers, but in the adult team, I think it is quite average, but there are some things that are very good, such as some things that cannot be practiced, such as smart running and timing.
His keen sense of smell and ability to judge at critical moments are all outstanding."
"As for his body, although he is not conspicuous in the adult team, he is already over 1.9 meters tall. But unlike other tall players, his legs are very long, but he is very fast, and
He is very flexible and agile, with excellent balance and running endurance, especially his excellent emergency stopping ability, which is very unscientific."
At the end of the sentence, Boloni couldn't help laughing.
But Aurelio, Pontes and others showed tacit expressions.
When Su Dong joined, they had already experienced this unscientific impact.
"But what really impressed me was his performance here." Boloni reached out and tapped his temple lightly, "He is really smart, and his ability to capture offensive opportunities is like a player who has played football his whole life.
He is as sharp as an old fox in professional football, and his comprehensive skills give him the potential to be an offensive organizer."
When Boloni said this, the second team coach Jean James also took over.
"Yes, in the recent game against Amadora, we were very passive in the first half. In the second half, I tried to let Su Dong play as the core of the frontcourt and let Marcelino and Ronnie surround him to launch the attack.
, as a result, we scored two goals in a row and reversed the opponent. Su Dong is the kind of player who can open up offensive space for the team in a deadlock."
After a pause, Jean Yames smiled and said: "I guess Jorge Jesus is interested in this aspect of him, because the Argentine center Campos he introduced did a terrible job in this regard."
When Aurelio and Freitas heard this, they basically understood what the coaches said about Su Dong.
That is, he has good strength, extraordinary potential, and very pleasing characteristics.
But the key question is...
"Is there a place for him in our first team?" Aurelio reminded everyone.
