Extraordinary coach

It is better to use a familiar player than a new one.

If Balotelli can come, it would be perfect for Sun Yi.

But it is not so easy to buy Balotelli.

Adriano can be bought without spending much money, but Balotelli is impossible.

On the contrary, when Sun Yi asked the transfer department to propose a purchase proposal to Nice, Yu Tianhua made a huge offer.

The price was 40 million pounds. He would not let him go even if it was less.

Damn it!

Sun Yi wanted to hit him immediately. This was simply a bamboo pole.

If it was a year ago, it would not be too much to buy Balotelli at this price. But after half a season, Nice has fallen, and Balotelli's value has dropped back to more than 20 million.

The market value is more than 20 million, but he asked for 40 million at the beginning, which is a bit too much.

And Yu Tianhua insisted on this price. This made Sun Yi angry and amused.

40 million pounds is really too much. Southampton can't afford it at the moment.

Adding the transfer fee of Maya Yoshida, Sun Yi only has about 30 million in his hand. There is a difference of nearly 10 million.

Sun Yi thinks Balotelli is suitable for Te, so he can only let the transfer department to bargain.

Soon, Sun Yi heard a very unfavorable news. Marseille also joined the pursuit of Balotelli.

And Marseille's offer is higher than Southampton's. Although it is not 40 million, it is closer.

With a team bidding, Yu Tianhua is even more determined to stick to the price.

Yu Tianhua even called Sun Yi himself to tell him.

"40 million is already a good deal. If it weren't for our friendship, I wouldn't let him go."

"If the transfer fee is not enough, you can sell a few players."

"Hurry up. Balotelli, the Ligue 1 Golden Boot last season, this price is really fair."

"Coach Sun, you should find a way to raise money as soon as possible. If someone else gets there first, I can only say sorry."

Sun Yi could hear the pride in Yu Tianhua's words.

But Sun Yi had no way to refute. As long as he wanted Balotelli, he had to accept Yu Tianhua's asking price.

Or just forget it?

In Sun Yi's eyes, he believed that he could buy a player who was not inferior to Balotelli with 30 million.

But he had made an agreement with Balotelli after all. It would be unreasonable to give up without trying hard.

After Balotelli knew Yu Tianhua's asking price and Sun Yi's transfer budget, he went to Yu Tianhua to have a quarrel.

Balotelli told Yu Tianhua that he was only willing to go to Southampton. He would not sign with any other team.

But Yu Tianhua was unusually tough this time. After Balotelli made a fuss, he still insisted that the transfer fee must be more than 40 million.

Otherwise, he would rather put Balotelli on the bench than let him leave.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi asked Balotelli not to make a fuss.

This kind of player's behavior of making a fuss about leaving is not pleasing after all. It will leave Balotelli with a bad reputation.

Seeing that Balotelli had already made a fuss, Sun Yi felt that he had to find a way to raise money anyway.

It happened that a team came to buy Austin at this time.

If Sun Yi bought Balotelli, Austin's position would indeed be more embarrassing. So, Austin himself was willing to leave.

It's just that the team that wanted Austin did not provide a sufficiently ideal offer. Slightly lower than his market value.

After negotiations, the transfer fee was finally agreed upon at Austin's market value.

Although Austin was sold at market value, it was only 9 million pounds.

Added together, Sun Yi still had less than 40 million in transfer fees.

However, it was not far away. This gave Sun Yi something to think about.

After adjusting the ratio of the transfer budget to the salary budget, Sun Yi finally raised 40 million.

However, just when Sun Yi raised 40 million and made an offer to Yu Tianhua, Marseille, as a competitor, also raised the offer. They quoted a price of 41 million.

This extra one million is not much, but it is disgusting enough.

This made Sun Yi very depressed.

However, at this time, Balotelli stood up and publicly stated that he was only willing to play under Sun Yi, so that Marseille would give up the idea of ​​buying him.

Balotelli's public statement forced Marseille to give up.

Yu Tianhua originally wanted to accept the offer from Marseille, but now he could only nod and agree to let Balotelli transfer to Southampton.

In this way, Sun Yi spent all the transfer fees to buy Balotelli.

Selling Balotelli, who was worth more than 20 million, for a high price of 40 million. Yu Tianhua was really proud. And he made money from Sun Yi, so he was naturally even happier.

He thought he had made a good deal.

"Haha. He was willing to spend so much money to buy Balotelli. Sun Yi is so stupid. Balotelli, who has no discipline at all, is not worth this price! He will definitely regret this deal."

But Sun Yi didn't regret it at all.

"Today I spent 40 million. Next year I can make Balotelli play for 80 million."

Sun Yi really has confidence in Balotelli. But many people don't think so.

Except for Dio who supports Sun Yi's choice, there are not many people who support him. Even many people in the team's top management have objections.

If Sun Yi did not have absolute say in the transfer, he would not have thought of spending so much money to buy Balotelli.

"Sun's transfer is really incomprehensible!"

"Balotelli has some strength, but he has long been proven to be incompetent in the Premier League."

"Balotelli's previous career in the Premier League was really not very good. This time he returns to the Premier League, we certainly can't expect him to be very successful."

"He can play well in Ligue 1, but this is the Premier League. We can't expect him to play like he did in Ligue 1. What's more, his form in Nice has been fluctuating in the past half season."

"It's really unwise to spend so much money to buy Balotelli."

"Sun's purchase of Balotelli this time may be a failed transfer."

The outside world is also mostly pessimistic about this transfer.

Southampton fans don't like Balotelli very much either. Balotelli's previous bad impression in the Premier League is too deep.

So much so that some people believe that Balotelli's arrival will be a time bomb in the Southampton team's locker room.

"Balotelli will be a hidden danger in the locker room. I'm afraid Sun will regret this impulse."

Hearing the outside world's evaluation of this transfer, Yu Tianhua was even more happy. He was very proud of his sharp eyes.

"Haha. Did you see? No one is optimistic about Balotelli."

"I am still smart. I sold such a hot potato at a high price."

"Sun Yi, it's too late for you to regret now. Haha!"
