Extraordinary coach

Ben Alfa waved his sleeves and walked away gracefully, leaving Sun Yi with his main list in the wind.

With Ben Alfa's departure, Sun Yi's original plan was completely disrupted. This time, he not only had to find a way to buy a defender, but also a usable front midfielder.

Sun Yi was really worried.

After buying Salah, there was still 5 million euros left. In addition, after selling some players that he didn't like, the transfer budget was only increased to a little more than 6 million euros.

Those players that Sun Yi didn't like were naturally not worth much. After all, not everyone is as seriously overestimated as Cojelo.

What can you buy with 6 million euros?

If it's a better player, at most you can buy a leg. And there's no discount.

But what Sun Yi is facing is that the Nice team has many holes to fill.

In terms of goalkeeper, the main force is Cardinale, who came from Nice's own youth training, but he is only B-level. And the potential is not very high, only B level. This obviously did not satisfy Sun Yi. He had originally planned to find a player with more potential. Now he could only use him first.

At the same time, he also decided to keep a goalkeeper named Walters who had previously tried out with the team. Walters' overall strength was also B-level, and his potential was about the same. His strength was similar to that of Cardinale, and the main reason why Sun Yi was willing to keep him was that he was a free agent and did not cost money.

The goalkeeper could only be like this. Fortunately, Sun Yi found that most goalkeepers of Ligue 1 teams were at this level during the training camp. It was enough for the time being.

After deciding on the goalkeeper, Sun Yi would consider the defender next. And the defender was the most pitfall.

Except for Sarr, who he decided to focus on training, no one satisfied him at all. Either they had no potential, or their strength was not satisfactory.

There were really many defenders who needed to be bought and replaced. Sun Yi had to find Bald Henry. And Bald Henry provided him with a list. It was Bald Henry's previous talent plan.

Sun Yi took the candidates given by Bald Henry and went to observe them in person.

The result was beyond his expectation. Bald Henry's talent plan was of high quality. Among these candidates, Sun Yi actually found two talented players who were not only outstanding in strength but also had great potential.

One was Dalbert from Guimaraes, a young defender born in 1993, with B-level strength and A-level potential. It was exactly the full-back Sun Yi needed, so he immediately asked Bald Henry to find a way to get him.

Bald Henry was very efficient and bought Dalbert in less than two days. What impressed Sun Yi was that Bald Henry only spent 2.03 million euros to buy him.

Although this was a little higher than Dalbert's market valuation of 2 million euros. But Sun Yi knew that this must be done with strong negotiation skills.

Another player Sun Yi liked was Cyprian from Lens. Born in 1995, the central midfielder is currently only B-level in strength, but also has the potential of A-level talent. But his price is expensive. The current market valuation is as high as 4 million euros.

However, this price is still very reasonable. However, all the remaining transfer budget of the Nice team is just enough. If you want to buy him, you may not be able to buy him.

But there is no way. After Ben Alfa left, Sun Yi really needed a central midfielder to connect the whole team. He only let Bald Henry try.

And this time Bald Henry did not disappoint him. He just spent 4 million euros to buy Cyprien.

With Cyprien to replace the pit left by Ben Alfa, the central axis of the Nice team was finally established.

However, Sun Yi will be depressed next. After buying Cyprien, the Nice team has no money to buy more people. But he has at least two holes to fill in the back line he is concerned about.

Helpless Sun Yi can only turn his attention to the loan and free agents.

Speaking of loan, Bald Henry provided Sun Yi with a candidate. He is a right-back that Nice rented from Porto last season. A Portuguese player named Ricardo Pereira. Bald Henry said that this player is very useful and can be rented again.

Sun Yi, who was skeptical, chose to believe Bald Henry. Unexpectedly, as soon as Ricardo Pereira came to Nice, Sun Yi immediately wanted Bald Henry to buy him.

B+ level strength, A level talent potential. Born in 1993, only 23 years old, what a good player. And the value is only 6 million euros. If you buy him, you will make a fortune in minutes.

Unfortunately, there is no money, no matter how much you can earn.

Sun Yi can only sigh to the sky. After becoming the head coach of the first team, he really realized how important money is.

Money, money, money, life is connected. Without money, you can only watch and stare.

There is no money to buy Ricardo Pereira, but by renting him, at least the hole of the right-back is temporarily filled.

Next, there is another central defender position in the back line that needs to be recruited, which Sun Yi thinks is more important.

Sun Yi has different ideas about the recruitment of central defenders. He particularly likes young people with potential in other positions. But this time he hopes to get an experienced veteran.

Firstly, veterans are cheap, and many of them don’t even need transfer fees. Secondly, it’s just right to train Sarr, who is too young.

After considering it, Sun Yi finally set his sights on Chelsea’s legendary captain Terry.

Sun Yi, who had spent a year at Chelsea, was familiar with Terry's abilities. He also had a good relationship with Terry.

The important thing was that Terry's contract with Chelsea was less than a year left, and he had few opportunities to play now. It was said that Chelsea was not planning to renew Terry's contract.

So, Terry was exactly the person Sun Yi needed.

After Sun Yi made his decision, he called Terry in person.

Terry was a little hesitant about leaving the UK to play in France. But Sun Yi convinced him with the guarantee of a starting position and a two-year contract.

It didn't cost money to let Terry transfer from Chelsea to Nice. Terry's transfer was very smooth. A few days after Sun Yi convinced him, he appeared in Nice.

After signing Terry, Sun Yi's main framework was basically determined.

Forward: Balotelli (A-level strength, A+-level potential), Pléa (B+-level strength, A-level potential).

Midfielder: Remy Walter (B-level strength, B-level potential), Seri (A-level strength, A-level potential), Cyprien (B-level strength, A-level potential), Salah (A-level strength, S-level potential).

Defender: Sarr (C+ level strength, A+ level potential), Dalbert (B-level strength, A-level potential), Ricardo Pereira (B+ level strength, A-level potential), Terry (B-level strength, no potential).

Goalkeeper: Cardinale (B-level strength, B-level potential)

This is Sun Yi's main lineup. A team with good strength and high growth potential.

After the main force was completely determined, Sun Yi could finally wait for the start of Ligue 1 with peace of mind.

However, he did not wait for the start of Ligue 1, but waited for Dong Fangzhuo first.
