Chapter 19 Upgrading
This is Li Yi's method. Step by step, with Salerno's help, he slowly walked into Cellino's line of sight, getting familiar.
Of course, if Li Yi wants to become familiar, he must have the support of the team. This requires not only Li Yi's own efforts, but also the support of Ventura.
But now Li Yi hopes that Ventura can support it for a long time, at least for a few more weeks, but at the same time, Li Yi is a little worried that Ventura will survive.
Speaking of which, Ventura may not be outstanding, but he must have the ability, otherwise he would not have been in the head coaching circle for so long, and even eventually became the head coach of the Italian national team, although this head coach eventually led Italy into the abyss.
A week is short and long for Li Yi. The short time is because he is improving and gaining experience every day, while the long time is only one game a week, and the opponent is not strong.
Yes, in Li Yi's eyes, the U20's opponents are indeed not strong. Ribery is actually a star level, not to mention the U20, even if he runs to Serie A, he can play well.
Valbuena is also not bad, maybe a little worse than Ribery, but he can also play in Serie A and even be the main force in the middle and upper reaches of the team.
Therefore, under the leadership of the two of them, and a group of young players who are not very good, Li Yi's U20 is almost unmatched.
A football match is not about winning with a strong individual player. Strength is only one of the important factors. In addition to strength, the coach also needs to bring out the strength of the players and integrate all the players into a whole.
In the future, this is the case with Klopp's Dortmund and Simeone's Atletico Madrid. The individual players in the team may not be the most outstanding, but they have overwhelmed the top giants in their respective leagues with their overall performance.
To be like Klopp and Simeone, one prerequisite is to have absolute authority in the dressing room, and it took those two years to achieve such authority.
Undoubtedly, Li Yi, who is in the youth team, is simpler. Although Li Yi is only 20 years old, all of his players are under 20. In addition, he has been in the U17 for a year and a half. After changing his tactics, he won the victory immediately, and he still won Victory, coupled with the outstanding performances of Ribery and Valbuena, everything will become logical.
Transfer Ribery and Valbuena to the first team On the field of Assemini, President Cagliari appeared in the game between Cagliari U20 and Livorno U20.
4:1, another big victory, Ribery and Valbuena performed as well as ever, which is why Cellino said after the game that Ribery and Valbuena were transferred to the first team.
The fact that the club chairman appeared in the stands was not known to the players. This was also to avoid affecting the performance of the players. Moreover, as the chairman of the club, coming to the U20 instead of going to the first team would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Although there have been media reports that Ventura's days in Cagliari are short, in order to avoid affecting the team's preparations, he will definitely not admit it to the outside world.
Speaking of Ventura, this round of the league finally stopped the losing streak. Although there was no victory, for Ventura and Cagliari now, a draw is enough to make them happy.
As of the 20th round of the league, Livorno ranks third in the standings with 34 points, while the current Cagliari is one step away from the relegation zone.
But really speaking, there is no difference in the strength of the two teams, and even from the perspective of the team, Cagliari is more powerful than Livorno.
This game also proved this. 1:1, Cagliari, who was in an extremely poor state recently, drew a tie with Livorno at home, and Cagliari stopped the three-game losing streak.
I'm afraid Gampiero won't use these two young people, Salerno said hesitantly.
Huh? What's going on? Cellino naturally noticed the expression on Salerno's face.
Giampiero has a conflict with Bruce. Bruce is a coach we trained ourselves. Although he is young, he is indeed talented, so at the beginning of the season I asked Bruce to enter the first team and follow Giampiero to learn how to become a coach. Excellent coach, but he thinks I'm putting eyeliner around him. In fact, Salerno was more worried about whether the U20's record would plummet after losing Ribery and Valbuena. Reliance is obvious to all, and almost all tactics revolve around the two.
But what he said was completely different, and what Salerno said was very skillful. First of all, he pointed out that Li Yi was the coach trained by the club and his own, and he mentioned Li Yi to the first team entirely to train Li Yi and There is no selfishness.
That is to say, everything he does is for the club, but now Li Yi has been expelled to the U20 by Ventura. Although Li Yi is currently leading the team very well, it cannot be denied that he was expelled.
Hmph~~~ After listening to Salerno's words, Cellino's expression turned cold.
So I'm a little worried, even if we bring those two young players to the first team, Gampiero will be reluctant to give these two young players a chance because of prejudice. Salerno is very clear, Cellino is now very concerned about Li Berry and Valbuena, it's not right, maybe it's the value of Ribery and Valbuena to be more precise.
As a successful businessman, Cellino's vision is naturally not bad. Although players are not commodities for the fans of the club, Cellino is an out-and-out businessman.
Don't worry about this, let these two little guys report to the first team first, Cellino said unmoved.
Oh~~~ by the way, finalize the new contracts of these young players as soon as possible Cellino suddenly remembered something.
The three people that Li Yi brought back only signed a two-year contract. This is still because Salerno looks at Li Yi's face, but now Salerno must regret it in his heart.
I'm afraid I need Bruce's help. Salerno is very clear that as the two perform better and better, many teams are now eyeing them, and even throw an olive branch.
Huh? Hearing Salerno's words, Cellino couldn't help but think of Li Yi, who was commanding from the sidelines just now. Although this oriental man looked a little too young, there was a strong expression on his tender face. Self-confidence, and standing on the sidelines gives someone a sense of command and ease.
This is an unusual young man. Cellino's face had a hint of inexplicable color.
Let Bruce do the homework of the two and tell this young man that the club will not treat those who have merit, Cellino said finally.
