Extraordinary coach

After Sun Yi expressed his thoughts, the dispute between Van Dijk and Balotelli stopped.

However, the two of them still wanted to persuade Sun Yi not to refuse the job of coaching the national team.

It was Kaká and Adriano who came over to convince them, and then they stopped pestering Sun Yi about coaching the national team.

Kaka and Adriano had already persuaded Russia when they learned that Sun Yi would not follow him back to Brazil. They have also understood for a long time that Sun Yi has really made up his mind not to coach the national team.

For Sun Yi not planning to coach any national team, the happiest person should be the senior management of Southampton team. Especially their female boss Katarina Liebherr.

After all the team members were assembled, the female boss, together with Chairman Ralph Krueger and other team executives, held a grand welcome dinner for everyone.

During the dinner, Katarina not only proposed a toast to Sun Yi, but also said that she would not let Sun Yi down this season.

Afterwards, the female boss announced to everyone that Southampton would increase investment this season.

Last season, when she invited Sun Yi to come, she had significantly increased her investment, and the transfer budget for Southampton reached a historic 50 million pounds.

This time she stated that this value had increased directly to 80 million pounds. And this is just the transfer budget.

Players have no feeling about this transfer budget, because such a large transfer fee indicates that some of them will leave.

However, Catalina did not just increase their transfer budget. The salary budget has also been increased a lot, and it is said that the players' treatment will be improved. This makes the players happy.

The new season has not yet started, and Sun Yi is really happy to hear such good news.

He told Catarina on the spot that he would not live up to such a huge investment, and he would try his best to bring Southampton the first Champions League championship in history.

Sun Yi's expression is the most gratifying.

Catalina is willing to increase investment so much because she is originally going to the Champions League. Of course, her ambitions are not that big. She just thinks that she can reach the knockout stage.

So she was very satisfied. And repeatedly asked senior personnel to cooperate well with Sun Yi's next work.

Because of Sun Yi's words, the team's morale immediately rose. Therefore, everyone has set their goal for the new season on winning the Champions League.

For a team that participated in the Champions League for the first time, it was a surprise to qualify in the group stage. But if you talk about a champion, everyone who hears it will definitely laugh.

But this was said by Sun Yi, so the meaning is different.

When Sun Yi said this, no one thought he was bragging. Even winning the World Cup, winning the Champions League is really not a big deal.

Just like that, without mobilization, Southampton's highest goal for the new season was set.

Next, Sun Yi needs to prepare for this goal.

Not only does he have to lead the Southampton team in physical training and other preparations, he also needs to start thinking about how to spend this huge transfer budget of up to 80 million pounds.

The preparations for the new season have begun, which also means that it is the farewell season of welcoming and sending off.

After discussing the next preparations with Diaw and other members of the coaching staff, Sun Yi began to focus on increasing the strength of the Southampton team.

Last season, he took over the Southampton team relatively late and failed to properly build the Southampton team's formation before the season.

Although later, during the winter transfer window, he added a lot of strength to the Southampton team. But in the end, due to insufficient transfer budget, he failed to bring Southampton into an ideal state.

This time with a transfer budget of up to 80 million pounds, he will be able to build Southampton into a team of kings that is not inferior to Manchester City in real strength.

After getting the money, Sun Yi did not spend money to buy people immediately. Instead, he went to the Southampton team's echelon first.

Southampton's youth training system is still very good, producing outstanding players like Prowse. Therefore, the first thing Sun Yi thought of was to go to the echelon to bring Southampton's potential outstanding players to the first line.

After visiting the echelons for a few times, Sun Yi brought two promising young players to the front line.

However, the comprehensive strength of these young players is not yet up to the standard for playing games. What Sun Yi wants is to train with the first team first, train them well himself, and then loan them to a lower-level team for training.

Later, when the strength reaches a certain level, it can be recovered and given some playing opportunities.

After finishing Southampton's own youth training players, Sun Yi began to focus on the introduction of playing players.

To be honest, the current Southampton team already has enough potential and future. Sun Yi has gathered a large number of young talents with amazing potential in the team.

What he wants to do now is to buy for Southampton players who can directly improve the team's strength.

With Southampton's current formation, the defense is the one least in need of reinforcement. Not only is the main defender the best in the Premier League, but his backup potential is astonishing. In terms of defenders, Sun Yi is not prepared to make changes.

In terms of midfield, the strength is also very good. The only problem is captain Davis.

After all, Davis is already thirty-three years old, and his strength is gradually weakening. The key thing is that his peak strength is only A level.

This strength is somewhat inferior.

In Sun Yi's opinion, the main force should have A+ level or above strength. Therefore, Sun Yi is considering buying a person with A+ level strength or who may soon reach A+ level strength to replace Davis.

Since Southampton has many high-potential midfielders, after discussing with Dio, Sun Yi decided to let him go.

As for the top potential personnel, this requires Sun Yi to examine it carefully next.

Soon, Sun Yi circled a few candidates from the list from the transfer department.

As for the striker, it already has enough potential, and all it needs is growth.

Next, what Sun Yi has to do is to check those candidates in person.

Before Sun Yi checks these candidates, he is going to comfort Juanjuan first. After all, this is a business matter, and he can't always bring Juanjuan around.

But just when Sun Yi was ready and just needed a push, his phone rang.

"Damn, who is so blind? Calling me at this time."

Sun Yi finally realized Kaka's frustration when he was interrupted by his call.

But Sun Yi was stunned when he answered the call.

After the call, Sun Yi's face was full of surprise and disbelief. And he was also a little excited.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you have this expression after answering the phone?" Juanjuan, who had already posed, was curious about Sun Yi's expression after answering the phone.

"Juanjuan, I just received a call from a superstar."

"Who is it?"
