World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 405 Unlucky Vukovic

"What did you do to my players just now?"

Seeing these fans chattering endlessly, Gao Yuan interrupted their chatter impatiently.

"We are just reminding Vukovic that he plays really badly!" A fat man in a cheering uniform said frankly.

"Yes, your performance is really sorry for the 1300 million euros you spent when you were introduced!"

"Since you came, the team has been playing worse and worse. It has fallen from the European theater to the relegation zone. Do you think it is your responsibility!"

"I really don't understand, what are you afraid of on the court! Avoiding confrontation like a bitch!"

"I've been watching football for 20 years, and it's the first time I've seen a softie like you in Maritimo!"

······
One stone stirred up waves, and Fatty's words made those fans start to denounce Vukovic again.

And the poor Croatian star didn't defend himself, just lowered his head like an angry little daughter-in-law, silently bearing the accusations from the fans.

Seeing the cowardly appearance of the number one star in his team, Gao Yuan was furious.

"Okay, stop arguing! You sit in front of the TV, drinking beer, blowing on the air conditioner, watching football is entertainment! For Vukovic, he has to run hard every game, train hard every day, and bear the risk of injury. For him, this is his career! No one wants to play the ball better than him! Is he not willing to accept the worship of the fans? You are all Maritimo fans, is this how you treat your own team players?"

Gao Yuan reprimanded.

These loud words made those fans shut up immediately, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that what Gao Yuan said seemed to make sense.

After a long silence, the fat man in the head murmured: "You're right, but...he still kicked very badly!"

After finishing speaking, this group of guys dispersed like children who had finished playing a prank.

"Boss, thank you!" Vukovic said to Gao Yuan.

"It's nothing. Protecting your players is what every head coach will do." Gao Yuan said lightly.

Seeing the submissive look of the Croatian star, Gao Yuan was really sad and angry about his indisputability. How could such a big and thick guy be like a little sheep.

"Have you finished shopping yet? If you're done, don't mind if I give you a lift."

Gao Yuan wants to find a chance to have a good chat with Vukovic.

"It's... alright" Vukovic was still obedient.

The two came to the parking lot outside the mall, but saw a painting made with graffiti dye on the front windshield of a Cherokee.

In the painting, a big man is only wearing a jacket and no shorts. The painting is very exaggerated, hanging limply, and the number 44 is written on the clothes of the big man. It is obvious that the owner of the car is Vukovich.

The big Portuguese word "Mollusque" (soft egg) next to the painting is the best interpretation of this graffiti.

"Boss, it seems I can't send you back." Vukovic sniffed.

"Do you want to call the police?" Gao Yuan asked.

"No, this is not the first time, I have to wait here for the insurance company to come."

"I'll wait here with you!" Gao Yuan suggested.

"No, I'll just wait in the car"

After speaking, the Croat got into the car on his own, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.

well!Gao Yuan sighed, he had to check the past of the top star in the team.

Gao Yuan handed over the task of investigating Vukovic to Gao Fushuai.

Soon, Gao Fushuai found out.

Vukovic joined Maritimo two years ago with a club-record transfer fee of 1300 million euros.

At that time, Maritimo was still in the European theater, and the Chinese capital had just entered the club. At that time, the Chinese capital made a bold statement that it would win the Portuguese Super League championship within three years!And the introduction of Vukovic, who spent a huge amount of money, even boosted the confidence of the fans. Everyone felt that the era of Maritimo was coming!
However, unfortunately, the Croatian was seriously injured in the first game of his official debut and was reimbursed for most of the season.And the team also started a free fall from Everest to the Mariana Trench like bungee jumping.

When Vukovic returned to the team from injury, the head coach who strongly advocated the introduction of him had already dismissed get out of class. Although the new head coach gave him a chance, he was unable to regain his form because of the long absence that season.

The second season was even more of a nightmare.

In the first game of the season, he was injured again. Although it was only a strain, he recovered after more than a month of recuperation, but his psychology seemed to be affected. In the following games, he felt lingering fear and did not dare to use his full strength.

Playing hard on the court will naturally not have good results, and it is normal to be booed by fans after a long time.

The boos of the fans made him fall into a vicious circle.The more you boo him, the softer he kicks; the softer you kick, the more booed you get!
Coincidentally, during this period of time, the team's record was also very poor, so the fans took him as a scapegoat, and there was even a saying that he caused the team to collapse, and he and the Chinese capital were the chief culprits!
In the locker room, Vukovic was also having a tough time.

He cherished his playing style too much on the court, which made his teammates very dissatisfied. They felt that he was not of one mind with everyone, and gradually began to alienate him. Even after losing a key relegation battle last season, the "team soul" Antonio gave this "sissy" a hard lesson.

As a result, under the multiple blows on and off the court, the poor Croatian suffered from mild depression. He didn't play the last three games of last season and went to psychological treatment.

However, without him, the team managed to escape the relegation in a thrilling way, which is even more evidence that he is a dead star!
It's not that Vukovic didn't think about transferring to leave this sad place, but the salary he signed at the beginning was very high. Based on his current performance, it is impossible for any club to take advantage of this contract.

Furthermore, his value has shrunk extremely severely. According to the current valuation of the German football transfer market, his value is only 300 million euros, which is only a fraction of what it was two years ago!If you sell him now, you will lose a lot!So it is impossible for the club to let him go so easily.

Therefore, Vukovic can only continue to suffer in pain in the team.

After listening to Gao Fushuai's report, Gao Yuan and the members of the coaching staff were very surprised. They did not expect the experience of the Croatian to be so tortuous and rough.

What a wretch!

"So, how is his injury now?" Gao Yuan asked.

After the match, Gao Yuan arranged for Periati to take Vukovic to Lisbon for a comprehensive physical examination.

"His injury has healed long ago! The doctor said his body is 100% healthy," Periati replied.

Gao Yuan has also observed Vukovic's data through the system. His physical condition is very good, and his physique is 18, and his injury tendency index is only 3. It is reasonable to say that he is a tough guy who is not easy to get injured. But two years after the transfer, he has had two injuries.
If there is no physical injury, then his problem is psychological.

This is very troublesome. Gao Yuan can adjust the physical attributes, technical attributes and even mental attributes of the players through the reputation value, but the psychological attributes are different from the mental attributes in the game, and cannot be measured by data.

Psychological problems have to be cleared up and guided slowly. In the words of Uncle Benshan, it is "talk therapy", or "talk therapy" for short!
"It's a pity for this young man. His skills are really good. Every move and every style of Yue Zhiyuan Ting is very elegant. It's a pity that when he is on the court, he dare not use his strength to fight hard, and his performance will be greatly reduced!" Old Wu Tou said regretfully.

"His physical condition is also very good. He is tall and strong. He can rush, run, and has good stamina. He was originally one of the players with the best physical fitness in the team. However, he was terrified because of injuries. What a pity!"

Seeing that it was rare for his right-hand men to reach an agreement, Gao Yuan felt that "saving Private Vukovic" should be put on the agenda.

But how to save it?

European psychiatrists only alleviated his depression in its bud, but failed to restore his self-confidence. How could he make him "not lame"?
flicker?correct!
Suddenly, Gao Yuan had an idea and thought of someone!
