Coaching career started as a college team coach

Chapter 39



Soon after Wei Le returned to England, he received three good news.

The first one was that Rodri agreed to join the team. The team gave him the No. 8 jersey directly, which made Rodri flattered. In fact, no one wore the No. 8 jersey, and it was just right for the midfielder Rodri.

In addition, Wei Le was very happy to learn that Rodri had started learning English, which showed that Rodri was actively integrating into the team.

The second one was that the deal for Jota was done. Perhaps Simeone directly confronted the team and said that he would never give Jota a chance, which led to Atletico Madrid not only willing to directly rent Jota for a season, but also added an optional buyout clause of 9 million euros.

Wolves let Jota choose his own number. Jota did not choose the vacant No. 7, but chose No. 17.

The price of 9 million is actually quite reasonable. You know, Jota's transfer to Atletico Madrid also cost Atletico Madrid 7 million. The price of 9 million may allow Atletico Madrid to get back its money, but they can't make any money on Jota. Now, Jota is still unsure about the permanent transfer, and Wei Le is not in a hurry. This is a two-way selection process. It is not too late to make a decision when the season is coming to an end.

The third good news is that the Wolves players are back safely. Wei Le does not want players to ski during the off-season and cause the season to be written off.

Some players who have already confirmed their transfer and leave the team certainly do not need to come back. This is also a sad point in professional football. The last day of training before the end of the season may be a farewell to some players.

Before the start of the season, Wei Le also went to the youth training camp to take a look and promoted the 16-year-old Morgan Gibbs-White. The word White, according to semantic translation, means "white", so in the previous FMs with poor translation level, it will be mistakenly translated as Gibbs-"white", and he will become the team's first post-00s player. Wei Le was very impressed by his talent. While training with the first team, young player Gibbs-White was able to perform in the U23 game.

Perhaps in some insignificant cup games, Gibbs-White could get a chance to play in the first team in advance.

With Jota's arrival, the recruitment work for this season is basically over.

A closer look shows that the team has spent a lot of effort on recruitment this season. Wei Le's planned team lineup for the new season is completely different from that of last season.

The team first loaned Portuguese left winger Joao Teixeira from Benfica, and then bought central defender Ruben Dias from Benfica B. Also in the Iberian Peninsula, the team introduced midfielder Rodri from Villarreal and brought Portuguese Jota from Atletico Madrid by first renting and then buying.

In England, the team exchanged young Bowen from Hull City and dug Ben Godfrey from the newly relegated Norwich team to supplement the left back. Finally, the team renewed the lease of Arsenal's third goalkeeper, Argentine Emiliano Martinez.

The above players were all introduced from teams in EU member states, and the work permit issue was easy to solve, which made Wei Le feel relieved. It was because of the worry that the work permit would not be passed that Wei Le had to give up the talented teenagers from South American countries in this signing.

Pre-season preparation is an important part of every season. Training is the basis of the game, and pre-season preparation is the basis for the season's results. And an excellent coaching team is the basis for players to achieve results.

Not only players, Wei Le also tried to dig several coaches during his time in Spain.

If anyone knows about Pochettino's team, in 2016, his Tottenham was just starting out and was in a stage of steady rise. During Pochettino's five years of coaching, there was a coach who was always with him, his fitness coach, Jesus Perez.

Jesus Perez certainly couldn't be snatched away. He had already got the position of fitness coach in the Champions League team. How could he just leave? But his younger brother, Sergio Perez, is a good choice.

Wei Le learned that the two brothers often talk on the phone even though they are far apart. The content of the chat is their feelings about physical training, and both of them have a characteristic that Wei Le admires, that is, they attach importance to big data.

"Now our team's physical training level is far behind the times. Although we don't say that we want to catch up with the standards of Real Madrid, at least we must be able to support us to have a better performance in the Premier League." Wei Le said to Guo Guangchang, and Guo Guangchang also looked solemn. He felt that this was indeed a problem.

Wei Le found Sergio Perez, who is still a physical coach for Manucia in the Spanish Second Division, and Wei Le expressed his wish to let Perez come to England.Perez hesitated. Wei Le was very happy that Perez could speak English, which made the conversation between them much easier.

Wei Le knew that this was a two-way selection process, so Wei Le took the initiative to talk to Perez about his views on physical training. But it doesn't matter if you don't talk, Perez was very surprised when he talked. The comprehensive big data physical training he advocated at the Manusia Club did not get full trust, one of the main reasons was that it was too expensive.

Generally speaking, when Perez talked about physical fitness with others, Perez was talking and others were listening, but when chatting with Wei Le, the two talked back and forth. Wei Le certainly didn't have the professional level of Perez, but he was very familiar with big data and had his own views on the future development of football.

Wei Le felt that the future of football must be more and more running, especially in the Premier League, because of the continuous updating and iteration of tactics, those teams that ran all over the field often had more opportunities.

"You really value the role of big data." Perez said, Wei Le certainly valued it, from football manager games to systems, which one did not bring him data dividends? Perez learned that Wei Le had started to build a big data system in the team, but Perez was a little worried.

"This is a long process. To put it bluntly, you may be fired before the system is built. My brother has been in Tottenham for two years, and he is still finishing the work."

"The benefits will be felt in the present and in the future." Wei Le smiled and said.

Perhaps it was this answer that impressed Perez, or perhaps it was the support promised to him by Wei Le and the Chinese consortium behind him. Perez talked to Wei Le several times later, and finally, Perez resigned from his position in Manusia and flew back to England with Wei Le.

"Two people went there, and three people came back. You are really amazing." Assistant coach Celars said with a smile.

Now, the last piece of the puzzle is in place. Then, it is time to start the pre-season preparation stage.
