Chapter 516: Newcastle's New Head Coach Is Coming

Although many media in England have given advice to Mad Lee, the club chairman, and the head coach candidates listed are not exactly the same, there are five people who are recognized by almost all media as the most likely to take over St. James -

Ranked first is tactical master Carlo Ancelotti, whose position as coach at AC Milan is in jeopardy due to poor performance last season. However, if Newcastle wants to bring in this fat man, they must face competition from the Blues Chelsea. There are reports that Russian tycoon Abramovich is also interested in this tactical master!

Ranked second is the Spaniard Rafa Benitez, who brought the Reds to the fifth place in the league and also had a shaky position at Liverpool. The disadvantage is that Fatty Benitez may not be dismissed, and because of his poor personal relationship with Mad Lee, the Spaniard is likely to refuse Newcastle's call.

Ranked third is the German Klinsmann, who was just dismissed from Bayern Munich at the end of last season. The German led the German team to the third place in the 2006 World Cup, proved himself, and was unemployed at the time. Whether in terms of appearance or fame, he is a suitable candidate. The only drawback is that the [Golden Bomber]'s one season in Bayern has tarnished his coaching career!

Ranked fourth is the Dutch coach Van Basten who resigned from Ajax. The former AC Milan legendary star did a great job in the Dutch national team and was very charismatic. For Newcastle, the difficulty is that AC Milan seems to be very interested in Van Basten...

Ranked last is the former world's best coach [Black Swan] Rijkaard who is currently unemployed at home. During his years in Barcelona, ​​Rijkaard once proved to the world how outstanding he was. Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Xavi, who are now dominating the football world, are all his proud disciples!

Of course, some people mentioned the name of the madman Mourinho, but the madman who led Inter Milan to win the Serie A championship seemed to have won the vote of confidence from the oil tycoon Moratti. Moratti prepared a large amount of transfer funds for the madman to rebuild the Nerazzurri. The madman was having a good time at Meazza and certainly looked down on Newcastle, which was a bit shabby in comparison...

However, what frustrated the curious fans was that in the face of the crazy questioning of the media reporters, Li Tongfan, who was "working while sick", never mentioned anyone's name -

"I will find a helmsman who is suitable for the team's style and has rich experience in the shortest time. As for the name, I will not reveal it for the time being..."

These are Li Tongfan's original words.

...

Netherlands.

Amsterdam.

The two-story villa is surrounded by green lawns. The white walls look like they have been washed by clear water under the bright sunshine. In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows is a sky-blue swimming pool with bright waves...

Plop!

A strong black figure stood up from the beige coarse cloth lounge chair by the swimming pool, did a few warm-up exercises, and then jumped into the sky-blue swimming pool with a beautiful diving posture, splashing water...

It was undoubtedly a pleasant afternoon.

At this moment, a white woman with long black hair like a waterfall came from a distance, holding a phone in her hand: "Hey, Frank, your emergency number..."

The man in the swimming pool came ashore, with a well-dressed muscular body and a signature curly short hair that would make any fan recognize his name at the first time - the Black Swan Rijkaard.

After wiping the water droplets off his arm, he picked up the phone and saw that it was the number of his agent, Piri Owereren. Rijkaard smiled, revealing his white teeth: "Hey, Piri, I guess you must have some good news to tell me, right?"

"Wow, Frank, you guessed it right, there is a great team interested in you..."

"Oh, is it Milan?"

Rijkaard was delighted. Last year, he had rejected Premier League teams such as Portsmouth and Blackburn who offered him a lot of money to coach, just to wait for the opportunity to join Milan. Now Ancelotti is in the wind and rain at San Siro, [Black Swan] naturally thinks that it will be an invitation from Milan...

As a player who has played for Milan for many years, Rijkaard wants to coach Milan, which is almost a well-known thing in European football.

But...

"Oh, Frank, I'm sorry, it's not Milan. Ancelotti has not received Galliani's call for dismissal yet... It's a Premier League team!"

Another Premier League team?

Disappointed, Rijkaard thought of Blackburn Rovers again. He shook his head: "I'm not interested in Premier League teams... Pirri, you know, I...

"Hey, hey, Frank, listen to me, this is not an ordinary Premier League team... Crazy Lee called me personally, hoping that you can coach Newcastle!"

The agent's answer on the other end of the phone surprised Rijkaard a little.

[Black Swan] Hearing the news that Crazy Lee resigned as Newcastle's head coach due to illness, as a famous coach who had played against Crazy Lee many times and was regarded as the most powerful stepping stone to witness Crazy Lee's mythical growth, he had some admiration and sympathy for this young colleague, but to be honest, he had never considered coaching Newcastle...

"I need to think about it..."

Rijkaard did not refuse directly this time and hung up the phone.

...

...

"What? Do you still need to think about it?"

Li Tongfan frowned, his face looking more solemn.

In the chairman's office inside the St. James Stadium, looking at Tolosi Tang, who has been promoted to the club's deputy general manager, Lao Li sank his whole body into the large and soft chair, and gently clasped the precious stone with his right index finger. The exquisite mahogany desk is like beating a delicate snare drum, and one is lost in thought...

Tolosi Tang said nothing.

As a person who has witnessed the growth of Crazy Li at close range, Tang Dui believes that his understanding of Crazy Li has reached a level unimaginable by outsiders. Whenever the man in front of him makes such an action, it means that he is thinking about making a decision. This is a very important thing...

Looking back on the past almost four years, Tolosi Tang has an unbelievable feeling like a dream. From an unlucky guy who was framed for bankruptcy to now the deputy general manager of the "Four Crowns" club that everyone looks up to, happiness comes. So easy!

Tang knew very well that compared with those who were truly capable, he was nothing. The reason why he got what he had today was simply because he hugged Crazy Li's thick thigh tightly and never Ask why, never do unnecessary things, never open your mouth to the media, and do everything Crazy Li asks himself to do carefully and thoughtfully...

This is how Don succeeded.

To the man in front of him, Tang's heart was filled with gratitude and loyalty that he was willing to do anything for!

A long while.

Li Tongfan opened his eyes and said seriously: "If you try harder to fight with Rijkaard's agent, it would be best to meet and talk... In addition, contact Van Basten and Klinsmann... Oh, by the way. , there is a person named Leonardo in AC Milan, please contact him!"

Tolosi Tang agreed and left the office without asking why.

Li Tongfan stood up, turned around and opened the curtains. Newcastle was brightly lit at night, like a colorful ocean. It deserves to be one of the eight major entertainment cities in the world...

The media did give Li Tongfan a lot of tips, but when it comes to choosing a head coach, there is another principle that Lao Li must adhere to, that is, the new head coach must be more interested in offense than defense!

Even if Mourinho and Benitez couldn't come, even if they cried and shouted to coach Newcastle, Li Tongfan would not want them to be a victory-oriented defensive expert like them.

The foundation he has built for Newcastle in the past year is an offensive formation. Even full-backs such as Marcelo and Gareth Bale are breakthrough madmen. Based on the principle of considering the players, the veteran Li hopes that the head coach he trusts can maximize the abilities of the team's existing personnel, rather than undergoing major surgery for blood replacement...

Prior to this, whether checking the FM2010 system or the past results in reality, Li Shi was very optimistic about the Dutch Rijkaard. [Black Swan] once shaped the 'Barcelona Dream Team', and was very optimistic about Ronaldinho and Eto'o. The use of others is impressive. His coaching style is more offensive and his tactics are gorgeous. He is the most suitable successor. However, the Dutch are yearning for Milan, so Lao Li can only try his best...

Of course, in less than 20 days, the transfer market is about to open. Powerful players from all walks of life are secretly trying to pry each other's corner. The competition has already begun. Considering that the team is preparing for next season, Li Tongfan will not give in. Jaccard has too much time to think, Van Basten and Klinsmann are both spare tires!

As for Leonardo, this Brazilian who has not had any coaching experience is a potential candidate that Lao Li accidentally discovered in the FM2010 system database.

According to the evaluation of FM2010, this former Milan striker who was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 5, 1965, has excellent head coaching potential. If divided according to the standard of player potential, the Brazilian's [potential ability] is at least above 195. Quite scary...

…

From June 10th to 15th, the transfer situation in European football never stopped.

Bayern Munich's Scarlet Franck Ribery is seduced by Real Madrid, [Angel Wings] Juan Mata becomes the hot favorite between Galacticos and Barcelona, ​​and Manchester United is seducing [Superman] Steven Taylor , Liverpool's old love for Michael Owen has rekindled...

Of course, there are also deals that are announced and then left as soon as the transfer market opens. Bayern has continued its old method of poaching competitors, and has introduced Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez for 30 million euros, making them crazy for this summer. The football market has once again injected a dose of stimulant!

June 16th.

The eyes of the world are once again focused on Newcastle, because Crazy Li announced that Newcastle has found the most suitable head coach and will hold a press conference that afternoon to announce the arrival of the new coach!

This is explosive news.

——

Guess who it will be? Klinsmann and Basten are destined to be in trouble, and the choice will be between Rijkaard and Leonardo.

Thank you brothers for the reward, please vote for me.

Thank you everyone. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I wish all married and unmarried swordsmen a sweet, warm and unforgettable Valentine's Day!
