Chapter 632 [Four Demons, Youth Training Ball King]
At the press conference, Liang Kun and the team's new coach Pellegrini boasted each other and seemed to be sympathetic.
In fact, they just met. "Pegong" born on September 16, 1953 is older than Liang Kun's parents. They have no common language except football.
The celebrity boss is easy to talk to, which makes Pellegrini feel warm. "Pegong" is far from Peigong in Chinese history. His workplace story is tragic. It is true that he is a good coach, but he is not welcome everywhere.
He has very good coaching results in "Yellow Submarine", but at most he only won the league runner-up and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. It is not his fault that he can't lead the team to win the championship. He is not the giants, and the lineup is incomparable to Real Madrid. The lineup of any giants in the Champions League is stronger than Villarreal.
Last year, he got the opportunity to coach Real Madrid, but he had no say. He was fired in just one year. He won the runner-up in the league by 96 points, only the Barcelona Dream Team Three was blamed for being so strong that it was perverted.
Pellegrini praised Liang Kun as sincere. He felt that his boss was not an ordinary person. Five Olympic gold medals, the annual "Grand Slam" in the tennis world can prove this. Liang Kun would like to do one thing, and it seems that he can do it well.
After the press conference, Liang Kun invited "Penggong" to have supper, and the two chatted again.
"Pegong" did not propose to poach a big-name player in his year of playing, and wanted to prove his coaching ability next season first. He was ranked 21st in the Championship and barely succeeded in relegation. With this bad record, no matter how much money he gave to become famous, the star who won't come.
If you want to attract players to join, Crystal Palace must first show enough potential and have the opportunity to advance to the Premier League.
Liang Kun had no objection and asked him to focus on cultivating several newly signed young players in the team.
"I'm happy to train young players. If they play well in training, they will definitely get a chance to play." "Pegong" has studied the roster of the team. Some people do have potential and are the type he likes.
"Pegong" knew that there were several young people in the team who were suggested by Liang Kun to poach. This boss really understands the ball and has a good vision.
His favorite is a 25-year-old high center named Graziano Pelle.
Pelle, who is 194cm tall, had no chance of performing in Alkmaar last season. He was in poor condition and was poached 1 million pounds. This person should play a huge role in the English Championship, even if he scored few goals, he could be a fulcrum.
Liang Kun asked the manager to poach Pelle and knew that this person was because Pelle from the parallel world played for Shandong Luneng team in Quancheng. His annual salary was RMB 119 million and his daily salary was RMB 326,000. This is Luneng's "Italian Cannon", which is similar to Ibrahimovic.
Without the Chinese Super League, Pelle's annual salary may not necessarily be willing to give it to him by six times. The Chinese Super League is so bold.
Pelle has some strength, was selected for the Italian national team, and performed well in the Eredivisie Feyenoord. In the 2012-2013 season, he scored 27 goals in 29 games and 23 goals in 28 games next season. He then played in Southampton in the Premier League for two seasons.
Now Pelle is depressed in Alkmaar and is willing to play in the English Championship.
What "Peer" didn't know is that Pelle was the one with the worst potential among the players Liang Kun asked to sign.
The real "big killer" of the forward line was an amateur player he asked the team to sign, named Jamie Vardy. During the trial, Vardy stayed in the team because of his extremely fast speed and good shooting, and received a two-year minimum salary.
No one in the team's management thinks how much help Vardy can bring to the team. He is 23 years old and has not played professional games yet, so his strength is obvious.
Liang Kun knew that Vardy was a late-stage player, and his career was quite legendary, just like a cheat.
He played better and better, helping Leicester City return to the Premier League in 2014 after ten years. In the 2015-16 season, he helped the team win the Premier League championship. That year, Vardy scored 24 league goals for Leicester City, second only to Tottenham striker Harry Kane in the scorer list.
He will be a regular visitor to the English national team in the future. He is now worth a basic salary and is so excited to play in the English Championship.
Liang Kun also proposed to sign a midfielder, Ngolo Kante, a French black player born in March 1991.
In the past two years, Kanter has tried out for many professional clubs but has not been hired. If Liang Kun does not ask him to try out and sign him, he will join Boulogne Football Club in French Ligue 2 this year.
Kanter's career was very unsatisfactory in the early stages. In 2012, Boulogne was relegated to French C. He played for one year in the French C league and joined French C team Caen. He helped Caen advance to French Ligue 1 and then fought for relegation.
It was not until he joined Leicester City in 2015 that Kante was seen by people. He transferred to the giant Chelsea a year later. Since then, he has become a regular visitor to the French national team and won the World Cup championship with the French team as the main player in 2018.
Kanter's talent has been buried for many years and is directly related to his style of play. It is difficult for people to pay attention to defending players in bad teams.
He neither has beautiful shots nor has wonderful passes, but he is everywhere on the court and is a 168cm tall running. Kanter's defensive sweeping and stable ball-taking ability have earned him the nickname "New Marklele".
Leicester City lost its competitiveness after selling it and did not win the championship again. The consequences were just as Real Madrid gave up Marklele back then.
Liang Kun signed both Leicester City's main players to Crystal Palace. Fox City is destined to be finished, and it is difficult to be promoted to the Premier League.
Liang Kun also asked the manager to poach a goalkeeper. The manager was puzzled why Liang Kun paid attention to the goalkeeper in the Costa Rica League, but he still did it.
Because the goalkeeper of the Costa Rica national team named Kylor Navas, born in 1986, is very cheap and can apply for a labor permit. He looks good and has helped Saprisa win six league titles.
Only Liang Kun, the reborn person, knows that Navas is more than just "not bad"? He is simply the god of the national team and his performance in the club is equally brave.
At present, Navas has just had the idea of leaving the domestic league and wants to make a splash in European football. His reputation is not obvious, and no strong team is willing to sign him. But in the parallel world, after three years of frustration, Navas has risen strongly.
He became the main goalkeeper of Levante, and made 37 appearances for the team in La Liga throughout the season. This season, he made 160 saves in 37 games of La Liga, with a save success rate of 80.1%. He ranked first among goalkeepers with more than 5 appearances in the five major leagues and was elected the best goalkeeper.
He then transferred to Real Madrid, and in one season he squeezed out the famous "Saint Cassi" to become the starting goalkeeper.
Navas made a total of 162 appearances for Real Madrid, helping Real Madrid win 1 La Liga title, 1 Spanish Super Cup title, 3 Champions League titles, 2 European Super Cup titles and 4 Club World Cup titles. During Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League titles, he started in all Champions League finals.
Liang Kun asked the manager to poach Navas and sign a long-term contract with him, so he must not let him go. He can stand half of the team alone, and often plays a magic pounce during the game, or it is still a combat power.
In addition, Liang Kun found that the Crystal Palace team currently has young players with great potential and is worth training.
The future "London King of Zha" Wilfrid Zaha is in the team. Last season, Zaha plays football in the Crystal Palace reserve team, and will get a position in the first team next season and sign a long contract. Since then, he has been playing steadily in the first team. This is a player born in November 1992 and is only 18 years old next season.
In parallel world, in July 2013, Zaha transferred to the Premier League powerhouse Manchester United at a high price, which shows how outstanding its potential is.
He is a dual nationality player of Côte d'Ivoire and England. He mainly plays as a right winger. He is very fast, has superb dribbling skills and has super breakthrough ability. In 2014, 20-year-old Zaha was regarded as an English superstar. He was even selected for the English adult national team without even playing in the Premier League.
Liang Kun became the boss and would definitely not send Zaha to Manchester United and stay for training.
Like many black players, Zaha's biggest problem is his IQ. After joining Manchester United, he once made a bold statement: "Besides Ronaldo and Messi, I don't think there are others who are better than me." He was also named "English Bahru" by the media for this.
Although he is a little stupid, as long as the "peer" trains this guy well, it will at least be a counterattack weapon on the field.
If he is so stupid that he can't help but sell it after he has achieved good results in the Premier League, he can still sell it at a good price. Because he has British nationality, it is quite valuable.
The FA officially finalized the labor certificate system in 1999. In order to ensure the quality of the league and restrict foreign staff, the FA stipulates that players from non-EU member states must first apply for a labor certificate if they want to play in England unless the player holds an EU passport.
The conditions for applying for a labor certificate are very harsh, and ordinary players cannot apply for it. Non-EU players have played more than 75% in the national team in the past two years; the national team's FIFA ranking cannot be lower than 75; these two can kill many people.
The labor certificate is not a one-time and all-out time. It must be reviewed every year. The review standard is to meet the number of games that the club can play, which must reach 80% of the total number of games that can be participated. The total number of games that cannot be participated due to injuries, bans and other factors.
There is also a strong man on the back line of Crystal Palace, Nathaniel Klein, born in 1991, plays as the right back.
Both he and Zaha came from the "Crystal Palace Youth Training" and had British nationality.
Klein was strong before 2017, helping Crystal Palace return to the Premier League. In 2015, he joined Liverpool and played for several years as the main right-back. Because he never rotated, he was nicknamed the "Three Clay Brothers" in China.
In China, there are three transliterations of his name: Klein, Klein, and Kleinny. He maintains full attendance almost every year. Being able to attack and defend is the guarantee of the right side, and he can be called the Iron Man. He has also played 14 times for the England national team and performed averagely.
Liang Kun asked the manager to poach four players first, and there is still a chance to get a bargain in the future. The team will rise as soon as next season, and there are several players in the team who are in their prime who can play a role, and the coach "Pegong" is not a false reputation.
After staying in London for three days, Liang Kun returned to China.
