When Mi Jikuan, who was at the meeting, sent a message immediately and told Long Tian the good news, the kid thought he was lying;

But it was quickly verified from the Internet, and subsequent CCTV Sports News was broadcast, confirming that Yuchai will participate in the AFC qualifiers.

The whole team was shrouded in joy. You should know that as a team deeply rooted in a small southern city, Yuchai's strength is still very limited. It is only their fourth year of competing in the top domestic leagues;

Although they luckily won the third place in the league last season and created the best result since the team founded, they had enough self-knowledge that this was the upper limit of their current strength;

If you want to go to another level, you either have strong support to join, or you will continue to do a good job in youth training to ensure that more capable young talents are constantly replenished.

As Yuchai Club, which has been long established as a benchmark for domestic youth training construction by the Football Association, although he has had the magical experience of loaning Italian stars such as Baggio, Hubner, and Baba in history;

But more often, they still have reached this point with their stable contribution rate of youth training talents;

There is no doubt that the club’s characteristics are youth training, and the club’s future is also youth training;

The arrogant behavior of spending money to buy people is not the norm, nor is it a luxury that a small team like them can expect.

Club CEO Bai Huijun has a clear understanding of this. He did not have the idea of ​​winning the championship this season because of his great success last season, but has set a realistic goal of "protecting nine and fighting six" in the new season.

In Bai Huijun's view, the current group of players are already the best products that the club can provide from scratch youth training construction;

In China, you can still make a world with your super spiritual attributes, but it is impossible to rely on them to rush to the Asian arena.

You still have to eat in one bite. As a team that is determined to build a century-old store, the Asian arena and even the international stage must be Yuchai’s long-term goal;

But it is not now. No matter how ambitious Bai Huijun has, he cannot ignore this objective reality.

However, things in the world are impermanent, and you know that there are opportunities you can't get, but it is placed in front of you like this, just like the AFC qualifier that I suddenly won this time.

Although it is not a quota for the main competition, there is still a possibility of a waste of money, but since God has arranged it, it proves that there is hope for realization;

After the joy, Bai Huijun, who was both ideal and realistic, soon fell into thinking.

Regarding foreign players, the team actually had a wonderful memory.

In 2005 and 2006, Yuchai loaned three Italian veterans who were on the verge of retirement, which cost little and had good results;

The effect of spending small money to do big things has not only greatly improved the team's revenue-generating ability, but also ensured that a new team in the top league quickly gained a foothold.

Now, such a sudden change makes Bai Huijun want to relive his old dream again.

The current foreign aid policy implemented in the AFC Champions League is 31, which means that participating clubs are allowed to use 3 players outside of Asia and 1 Asian foreign aid;

With Yuchai's current young lineup, he has plenty of energy and lacks valuable competition experience. If he can add 2-3 foreign players, he will inevitably increase his chance of passing the qualifying match.

However, buying people is not about going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. The right candidates and reasonable prices are two key factors that must be considered.

In addition, there are only about ten days left for them to search for. It is indeed like finding the right one in the vast crowd.

Bai Huijun expressed his willingness to rent a person to Tang Sichen, the boss of Tay agency;

After learning about their very stingy bidding method, Tang Sichen smiled bitterly: "Mr. Bai, you are not kind anymore. You also want to be fat and not eat grass. Such a good thing, where can I ask you to do it!"

Bai Huijun smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Tang, I know you must have a solution. I think we didn't have an agent back then, so we could still get Baqiao and Lao Hu. Now that we have you, it's even more difficult!"

"You are so high-cap that I feel uncomfortable all over!" Tang Sichen replied with contempt.

The task is indeed quite difficult, but Tay Company's ability is indeed quite good;

With the background of Caa, the largest agency in the United States, they first successfully found a striker in the eighth-level regional league in England through their British branches;

The player is young and energetic, and is very aggressive in the frontcourt, which is highly consistent with Yuchai's overall style. The key is that it is not expensive, and the cost of a year's loan is only 150,000 pounds.

This forward is the same year as Long Tian, ​​both born in 1987, and his name is Jamie Valdy.

The smart Bai Huijun applied for a subsidy of 7.5 million yuan from the district and municipal governments by utilizing the terms of introducing special talents, which were released from two major expenses: player rent and British agent commission.

Vardy can only be considered an amateur player in the UK. His weekly salary is only 30 pounds, but it is only about 1,500 yuan for RMB. In order to subsidize his family income, he also has to go out to work so that he will not starve to death;

Now, Yuchai has paid him a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, which has nearly quadrupled. Of course, this Sheffield young man was very happy to pack up his bags and happily boarded the flight to China.

After finalizing the first foreign player, Tay Company transferred to Spain three days later. In the professional arena, it finalized a real professional player. The arrival of this player is much more exciting than that of the amateur player in England.

This player is Michu. Currently playing in the Spanish Second Division, Celta is competent in any position in the frontcourt, can pass and shoot well, and is a very comprehensive player;

From Spain with excellent skills, Bai Huijun hopes that he will organize the frontcourt and completely lead the team's attack power.

Mi Chu is a professional player. Although he has not been rented for a year, he has paid 800,000 euros in rent. In terms of monthly salary, he has also reached the maximum salary of 20,000 yuan in the team. Bai Huijun has indeed invested a lot.

After the two European foreign players in the midfield and frontcourt were in place, Bai Huijun thought that the backcourt should also be supplemented, but considering the remaining money in his pocket, he was indeed not rich, so there was no need to think about European and American big names;

Just when he was unwilling to accept it, he soon thought of the quota of Asian foreign aid. It should be possible to save a little bit.

Tay's American background soon made them look at South Korea, and a central defender named Lin Yuhuan quickly surfaced.

Compared with two European foreign players who have never experienced a national team, the Korean, born in 1983, is a Korean youth training player with a strong reputation;

He has participated in the World Youth Championship and the Olympics, and has had experience in national teams. His highest professional honor is that he won the AFC Champions League championship when he played for Jeonbuk Hyundai in 2005.

Lin Yuhuan is a typical Korean player. He is a central defender. He has a tenacious style, fierce fighting and abundant physical fitness.

A powerful player like this who is in his year of playing will not be able to look down on an unknown small team like Yuchai in any case;

But by chance, Lin Yuhuan played for half a season at Jeonbuk Hyundai in the first half of last year. In his poor form, he was sold to Ulsan Hyundai in the second half of the year;

His performance still has no ups and downs, and he was terminated by the team after the end of the season, and the team that he had not been interested in until the beginning of this year;

The Korean iron guard, who has never been able to play in the game, is also anxious to get angry. Now there is a southern Chinese team that wants to loan itself, which is perfect for him who urgently needs the game to maintain his competitive state;

Although I have no idea where this team called ycfc came out, they want to play in the AFC qualifying round and even have the AFC group stage, which is much better than wasting time in South Korea.

In this way, Yuchai signed the former South Korean international without paying a penny of rent. He just paid the player a signing fee and a year's salary, which was far lower than Mi Chu's expenses in total.

In addition to three more foreigners, there were also two more translators, one translator in English, vs. Vardy and Michu, and one translator in Korean, and Lim Yu-hwan;

This is the first time Mo Huaqiang, who is at the forefront of the team, has felt this way. After adjusting his emotions, he must try his best to learn to accept such changes.

The team also had foreign players two or three years ago, and the scene at this moment also appeared back then, but at that time he was just an assistant coach and often he did not completely stand in the head coach's perspective;

Now, if you really want to think and deal with problems from the perspective of a protagonist, Mo Huaqiang still feels a little unaware of the acceptance of foreign players, the cooperation between foreign players and local players, and the overall tactics of the team...

Just when he was at a loss, Long Tian's behavior was simply a magical assist, which helped him open up his coaching ideas for the new season.

Long Tian started tutoring English in August last year, and it has been almost half a year now. I didn’t expect that there were two Europeans who could practice oral dialogue in the team. Of course, he went over and got close to the two of them.

Although Long Tian's words were very stiff and the words were not accurate enough, and sometimes even a little bit imperative, he was a teammate who could speak English after all. Vardy and Michu also interacted happily with him, which greatly boosted the atmosphere of the whole team.

Although Lin Yuhuan could not communicate directly with his Chinese teammates, he was not willing to be outdone as he watched the two Europeans desperately integrate into the team, so he pulled up the translator and worked hard to communicate with his teammates.
