Extraordinary coach

Sun Yi's return to Nice not only means the end of the short holiday, but also means the beginning of 2017, and the winter transfer window is also opened.

The transfer window is not only very important for the players, but also for the coaches who control a team.

A good operation during the transfer period will bring unexpected benefits. But if it is not operated well, it may also cause a good team to collapse.

Once the transfer period begins, all the staff of the team must work at high speed. Not only must they invest in the work of recruiting players, but they must also prevent the loss of main players.

The opening of the winter transfer window is also an opportunity for Sun Yi to make up for the weaknesses of the Nice team.

As long as he hopes that the Nice team can go further and really wants to win the French Ligue 1 championship, he must take this opportunity to increase the depth of the bench.

Therefore, the first thing Sun Yi has to do when he returns to Nice is to ask the management for money.

At the beginning of the season, he basically used up all the transfer budget. This time, if he wants to buy people, he must ask the board of directors to increase the budget.

Since Nice is currently performing very well, Sun Yi is confident that he can convince the board of directors to pay.

After Sun Yi returned to the team, he immediately went to Pierre, the team chairman and one of the shareholders. Pierre told him that the additional budget required a report application, and it would have to be discussed by the board of directors before it could be approved.

It was not until when would it be approved by the board of directors. Time waits for no one, so Sun Yi simply went directly to find Zheng Nanyan, the team's largest shareholder.

It just so happened that Zheng Nanyan came to France before the Chinese New Year to review Nice's business performance in the previous year.

After Sun Yi found Zheng Nanyan, he talked about the team's personnel problems, and then expressed his hope to get an additional budget of 20 million euros.

Sun Yi told Zheng Nanyan that as long as he had the 20 million euros, he could ensure that he won the championship this season. And Nice will be the favorite to win the championship for a long time in the future.

The prospects described by Sun Yi have to be said to be very bright and very tempting. He believes that any boss with aspirations will pay for it.

Zheng Nanyan was indeed moved by the prospects described by Sun Yi. However, after a period of silence, he said with regret that the team could not afford so much money.

Sun Yi tried his best to persuade, but he still failed to get 20 million euros. However, Zheng Nanyan was not stingy. He gave Sun Yi a discount and gave him 5 million euros.

The transfer budget of 5 million euros was far from Sun Yi's expectations.

In today's football world, it is not easy to buy a usable player with a transfer fee of 5 million euros. Even Wu Lei can't buy him!

With only this little money, Sun Yi's original transfer plan can basically be said to be bankrupt.

"Five million is five million. It's better to have it than nothing."

Sun Yi could only comfort himself in this way. Then he crossed out most of the names on the list he was going to introduce.

With only this little money, Sun Yi had to be frugal. He put his recruitment target on those players who were both cheap and ready to fight. The idea of ​​hoarding monsters had to be abandoned.

Sun Yi told Bald Henry about his recruitment requirements and asked the scout department he led to provide some candidates for selection.

Bald Henry, who had been prepared, quickly gave Sun Yi a list.

Sun Yi checked the scout report, found some candidates that met his requirements, and then prepared to check the quality in person.

However, just as Sun Yi was about to take action, problems arose within the Nice team.

Remi Walter submitted a transfer application to the team.

This is the first time since Sun Yi took charge of the Nice team that a player has taken the initiative to leave. The key is that Walter is still one of his main players.

Although Sun Yi does not think much of Walter's strength and potential, he is also an indispensable available player in the Nice team today.

Walter's desire to leave now disrupts Sun Yi's plan.

Sun Yi does not want the team plan that has just been revised to be disrupted again, so he wants to persuade Walter to stay.

However, Walter is determined to leave. Not only is his attitude very firm, but he also took the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with Sun Yi.

The reason for Walter's dissatisfaction with Sun Yi is very simple. He was the absolute main force of Nice last season, but his position has been greatly weakened this season. Every time Sun Yi wanted to make a substitution, he was the first target to be replaced.

Especially he was replaced by Sun Yi in the midfield many times, and he was replaced by Dong Fangzhuo, which really made him very dissatisfied.

Walter's sudden outburst of dissatisfaction was unexpected by Sun Yi.

In Sun Yi's opinion, Walter was the weakest among the starting eleven except the goalkeeper, so it was normal to choose him first.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to leave because of this.

This incident also reminded Sun Yi. When coaching a team, in addition to looking at the strength of the players, you also have to take care of the players' emotions and ideas.

The first persuasion failed.

Sun Yi decided to go back and think about it carefully, and think about how to stabilize the players.

However, the next day, Nice received an offer for Walter. And Walter also wanted to express his strong desire to leave to the team chairman Pierre directly.

A forced melon is not sweet.

Seeing this, Sun Yi could only nod and agree.

He nodded, and within two days Walter transferred away.

Walter's resolute departure had to be said to have dealt a blow to Sun Yi. It made him realize that even though he was leading the team to the top of the French Ligue 1, not everyone in the locker room would be convinced by him.

He felt a little uncomfortable. But Sun Yi quickly adjusted himself and devoted himself to the recruitment work again.

Walter's departure left Nice without available personnel in the defensive midfielder position. Sun Yi had to start looking for a replacement.

However, Walter's departure was not all bad. He still left Sun Yi a transfer fee of one million euros.

With an extra one million euros, Sun Yi's mind became active again. He was considering whether to try to get Mbappe from Monaco.

But what made Sun Yi depressed was that Mbappe was taken away by others just as he had this idea.

Paris Saint-Germain took Mbappe away by renting first and then buying out.

What is shocking is that Mbappe's buyout fee will reach an astonishing 180 million euros.

After seeing the money Paris Saint-Germain spent on Mbappe, Sun Yi felt like a beggar.

His transfer budget of nearly 7 million was not enough to buy even a single toe of Mbappe.

"Fuck, this transfer fee alone is enough for others to buy a whole team. How can I buy players in the future?!"
