There is a belief called football

Chapter 116 To Seoul ([-])

"You do not mind right"?Stan asked, holding a notebook.

The owner of FC Seoul shook his head with a smile.

Stan wondered, did he mind or not?But Stan didn't care so much, he took his notebook and prepared to watch the second half of the game.

But at the end of the second half, Stan did not add a new word in the notebook, even a punctuation mark, because Seoul FC's game suddenly changed its style in the second half, and the scene became lackluster.

"Little Choi "Choi Yongsu" is still on his guard," Stan thought.

But it's also normal. If I were myself, I would probably do the same.

The game was over, and Stan was about to get up to leave. The "translator" stood in front of Stan and said, "The club has prepared a midnight snack. Our president and the team's head coach will participate. I hope Coach Stan will appreciate it."

"It's so painful, what should I do?" Stan thought to himself.

Stan really didn't want to go to this grand banquet, but the other party was so friendly, it seemed that he would not go and he couldn't do it. When he was in a dilemma, Choi Yong-soo trotted to the VIP room after the game to invite Stan, and behind Choi Yong-soo was the Seoul FC midfielder "Ha Dae-sung" whom Stan admired very much.

After thinking about it, Stan must not be able to run today, so he might as well go, besides, Stan likes Ha Dacheng very much, and he also wants to poach South Korea's midfielder next season.

Stan once had a meal with the Japanese, and the table was mainly raw food. To be honest, the Japanese served Stan with prepared food at that meal, but Stan was not used to eating raw food, and felt very disgusting. This time he ate with Koreans. I don’t know if the last tragedy will repeat itself.

Fortunately, Stan still liked the things prepared by the Koreans. The food on the table was harmonious and harmonious. Cui Yongzhu held a bottle of wine in each hand, with red wine in his left hand and white wine in his right. "Coach Stan, do you like that kind?"
"Red wine," Stan said briskly.

Stan knew that after a few cups of that kind of liquor, he would get down on his stomach. It was more suitable for Nekonan, but not for himself.

Choi Yong-soo motioned to the waiter to serve Stan.

Stan didn't drink much, he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the Koreans, and who knew what the Koreans wanted him to drink?
Stan has been in China for a long time, and he still has a good understanding of Asian culture. He vaguely felt that Cui Yongzhu seemed to want to say something, but every time he talked about him in a random way.

Finally, when the wine was hot, Cui Yongzhu finally said two words hesitantly, "Li Qiao".

As soon as he heard these two words, Stan was half sober from the wine and immediately became alert.

Cui Yongzhu spread his hands and said that he was very frank, "This is a private gathering, I would like to ask if it is possible for Guangzhou Tianbao to sell Li Qiao."

"Of course not," Stan thought to himself.

But Stan is going to play the opponent, he pretends to say: "it depends on how much money is paid".

Choi Yong-soo exchanged glances with the team owner, "I can't say this originally, the team will sign a big Korean company as a sponsor next season, and I plan to use all the sponsorship fee of 500 million euros to acquire Li Qiao."

"Good guy, that means Seoul FC is willing to offer Li Qiao a price of 1000 million euros," Stein thought.

Stan knows the rules. Generally, the first price offered is intentional and flexible. For example, when he bought "Gabriel" back then, he only asked 500 million euros for the first time, and then slowly raised it.

In fact, many transfers between clubs are negotiated at the dinner table. For example, in 2001, when Bayern Munich played as a guest in Hamburg, Hoeness had breakfast with the opponent's manager before the game, and the transfer of Hamburg player "Kovac" to Bayern was negotiated.

It is impossible for Stan to be tempted by this number, even if it is doubled, but what he did not expect is that Cui Yongzhu is so knowledgeable.

"Okay, the food is almost eaten, it's time to give the Koreans a blow," Stan thought.

Stan said to Cui Yongzhu seriously: "After defeating you, I have a transfer budget of 5000 million euros next season. I can tell you that Li Qiao is not for sale, just like Barcelona's Messi."

Cui Yongzhu shrugged and didn't care, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's still be friends."

"Of course, except for Li Qiao, everything else is easy to talk about," Stein said.

Choi Yong-soo likes Stan's frankness very much. Choi Yong-soo used to be a South Korean international footballer.

Suddenly Stan was about to be naughty and asked: "If you beat me, how much will the club give you in the transfer budget next season".

"We are not as rich as Guangzhou Tianbao. Sometimes I envy the Chinese league because it is so rich," Cui Yongzhu said.

Stan laughed.

*****
The next day, Stan came to Seoul FC's youth training base as scheduled, and Cui Yongzhu also came to accompany Stan to visit.

As soon as he entered the training base, Stan liked the architectural style very much, just like the European youth training camps, simple. In fact, Stan did not like the youth training base in Guangzhou Tianbao, because those buildings were flashy, but the boss said that in China, Buddha depends on gold, people rely on clothes, the base is too shabby, who wants to spend a lot of money to come?

There are no redundant buildings in the base of Seoul FC. In the distance are low-rise buildings, which are used as players’ dormitories, restaurants, bathing and so on. The rest of the place is a piece of lawn. To Stan’s surprise, there is a beach volleyball court in the distance.

Stein pointed to the sand volleyball field in the distance and said, "I learned this from the Germans."

Cui Yongzhu smiled and said: "Aren't you also introducing Dortmund's training room?"
Cui Yongzhu's words froze the smile on Stan's face instantly. Although the team had no secrets, Stan was a little surprised that the other party investigated so carefully.

Cui Yongzhu's body contains the advantages of Koreans, that is, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The sentence just now is very typical.

"Stan, I'm afraid your 5000 million budget is not so easy to get," Choi said.

Stan shrugged, then moved on.

Suddenly Stan's eyes were attracted by a player. This little player ran like the wind on the field, passed 3 people in a blink of an eye, and finally scored a goal.

When a good coach sees a good player, his eyes will shine like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman or a foodie seeing delicious food.

Cui Yongsu who was on the side saw Stan's greedy eyes and knew what Stan was thinking. Suddenly Stan raised his head, clicked his mouth, and wanted to ask something.

Before Stan could speak, Cui Yongzhu said first, "He is not for sale, just like your Li Qiao."

His mouth was gagged, but Stan laughed. He felt more and more that Choi Yong-soo was his confidant. In fact, in world football, many opponents have become confidantes. Maybe he and Choi Yong-soo could really become good friends one day, just like Ferguson and Moyes.

In fact, the windy young player that Stan had his eyes on was later transferred to Barcelona and entered La Masia. He was called "Li Shengyu" of Korean Messi. Unfortunately, this person almost came to the Chinese league.

*****
Although the young players on the training field were all focused on training, everyone knew that the head coach of the senior team was coming, so they were all very serious.

Stan watched for a while and found that the youth training of Seoul FC is really better than that of Guangzhou Tianbao, and the reason why Guangzhou Tianbao is proud of Asia is only because of its abundant money.

Seeing all the young South Korean players with solid basic skills and hard work, Stan understood why the South Korean national team became the team that represented Asia in the World Cup the most times.

Stan knows that money is necessary for a country's football, but money is not enough. For example, Japanese football used money to attract high-level players to the country at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Stan secretly made up his mind that if he wins the AFC Champions League this season and gets a budget of 5000 million euros, he must allocate 1000 million euros for youth training.

"Would you like to take a look at the 5-on-5 confrontation"?Choi Yong-soo asked.

"Of course," Stan replied.

Choi Yongsu looked at a coach of the youth team in the distance. At this time, the coach was yelling at the children on the training ground. Stan did not understand Korean, but instinct told Stan that the sentence he repeatedly shouted should be, "position", because it is normal for young children to play flowers, but it is difficult to pay attention to their position all the time.

At this time, he also saw Cui Yongzhu waving to him, so he ran over. After the two whispered, Cui Yongzhu introduced the coach to Stan, "This is Coach Park Jae-sung."

Stan shook his hand.

Soon, Coach Park arranged a 5-on-5 confrontation. Stan watched it and saw that it was basic training, not very intense, similar to a performance, so Stan was not interested in watching it. These tricks are suitable for the media, not for professional football coaches.

After 10 minutes, Stan politely applauded the players, and the players cooperated very well. They came over and asked Stan to sign for themselves, making Stan look like a star.

Stan signed autographs for 10 children one by one. Accompanied by Choi Yong-soo, Stan finished his visit and left the training ground. At the moment when he got into the car, Stan finally looked back at the youth training base of Seoul FC and thought: "Korean football is by no means easy to deal with. They have a deep foundation."

Back at the hotel, Stan called Pekovic. It was just a routine communication, that is, to inquire about the current situation of the team, but a message from the other end of the phone was like a bolt from the blue to Stan.

Pekovic said: "Li Qiao is injured and the situation is not optimistic".
