Extraordinary coach

"This is the real future!"

The photo of Salah and Sun Yi was soon posted on the official website of Nice. This sentence was added at Sun Yi's request.

Later, Nice and Chelsea officially announced that Nice had bought Salah for 20 million euros.

This news was not considered a big deal in the British media and other European countries. After all, in this era where you can't buy a playing player without 40 or 50 million euros, a transfer of 20 million euros is really nothing.

At most, it feels that Nice has made a big bet this time. The evaluations are mixed.

But this news is very unpleasant for the French.

Sell Cojelo for 10 million euros and then buy Salah for 20 million euros. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Nice sacrificed Cojelo in order to buy Salah. (Except for Paris Saint-Germain, Ligue 1 has never spent much money on buying players. A transfer fee of 20 million euros can be ranked in the top five in the summer.)

"It's really infuriating. Selling a French national youth team main player just to buy an Egyptian?"

"Why did Salah let Nice sacrifice Cogelo? Do the Chinese think he is better and has more potential than Cogelo?"

"No. According to reliable sources, in order to buy this Salah, the Chinese not only sacrificed Cogelo, but also sacrificed the entire Nice team's recruitment plan."

"The Chinese Sun is a gambler. He will ruin the future of the entire Nice team!"

Sun Yi spent so much money to buy Salah, which once again caused controversy in the entire French football world. Although many people admire Salah, sacrificing so many French players just to exchange him is still emotionally difficult for many people to accept.

The French media all have this view, not to mention the fans of Nice who were already angry. However, Sun Yi doesn't care about these. He believes that it won't be long before those people will shut up and praise him for his foresight now.

After Salah officially signed the contract, Sun Yi took him back to Nice, France.

Given that the fans were in a confrontational mood, Sun Yi did not hold any fan meeting for Salah. Instead, he held a press conference after returning to Nice.

The press conference did not have to face angry fans, but had to face the ruthless questioning of reporters.

Facing those questions with strong implications, Sun Yi only said one sentence firmly: "Salah is one of the best players in this star. The height of the future is the level of Messi and Ronaldo. In my opinion, he is the real future of the team."

Almost no one at the scene agreed with Sun Yi's words. Many people publicly laughed at his naive idea after the press conference. They said that he was as wishful as the Chinese who imagined that Chinese football could be on par with European and American countries.

Sun Yi just smiled at these ridicules and questions. He didn't care at all.

And many people in the Nice team also held this idea.

Both the players and the coaching staff had opinions about sacrificing so much to buy Salah. They all thought that selling Cojelo to bring in Salah was like throwing away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds. It was a very stupid behavior.

Because of this, after learning that Salah joined the Nice team, the teammates who had not yet met were already very emotionally resistant. Even Dio was very fond of Salah because of Cojelo's original solidity. After hearing the news, he thought that he would never reuse Salah in the future.

With this idea, Dio and the players ushered in the first training session after Salah joined.

Before the training started, Sun Yi gathered everyone and introduced Salah to all the players.

After the complete introduction, the next step was to start training. At this time, Dio took the training plan and prepared to arrange it. But he had just taken a step, and Sun Yi took the training plan from him and said: "Coach Dio, you have worked hard in the past few days. From today, I will officially take over all the training of the team."

"Ah!" Dio was stunned. He was still thinking about how to give Salah a head start later.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sun Yi nodded. Then he turned to the players and said, "Get ready to start training. Next, everyone will warm up first."

"..." The players did not move immediately. They were all used to Dio's arrangement. They all looked at Dio.

"What? Didn't you hear clearly? Everyone, move and start warming up." Sun Yi frowned and shouted loudly, then turned to a member of the coaching staff and said, "Coach Robert, you go and lead them to warm up."

"Oh. Okay." Robert is the physical coach. Although he was reluctant, he nodded and stood up, and then called the players to warm up.

At Robert's call, all the players followed him to run and warm up. At the same time, they also whispered.

"Is that Chinese going to train us personally?"

"Will he? Coach Dio has been leading well, he..."

At this time, they remembered that the real head coach is Sun Yi, not Dio.

Seeing the players warming up, Sun Yi flipped open the training plan he had received from Dio. After reading it for a while, he turned to Dio and said, "Coach Dio, the team needs to make some changes. Some parts of today's training plan also need to be changed."

"Oh." Dio responded. He looked a little lost. Like the players, he now realized that he was not the head coach. The previous few days of hosting the coach made him forget that he was just an assistant coach. The idea of ​​ignoring Salah was just a joke.

"Here, and here, change them. Let's slow down the tactical training first, and come back when we go to the training camp..."

"Oh, um."

Sun Yi wrote and scribbled on the training plan to make changes, and Dio just nodded like his soul was sucked out.

Sun Yi saw that the other party was a little absent-minded, but he didn't care. After modifying the coaching plan, he personally began to direct all the team's subsequent training.

For directing training, Sun Yi has long been familiar with it. Not to mention that he was in China, he assisted Mourinho many times when he was in Chelsea.

After a day of training, the players and coaching staff of the Nice team were convinced that Sun Yi did not know nothing. He was really a coach. It was just that some people didn't understand why he had given all the training to Dio before.

Dio, who also made this discovery, seemed very depressed after the training. He knew that his good days of leading the training of the entire team were over.

The other members of the coaching staff were not as disappointed as him. Seeing him like this, someone comforted him: "Dio, it's okay. That Chinese guy will be exposed soon. And now both the players and the fans don't like him. I believe it won't be long before he has to leave. That position will be yours one day."
