At the club football field, all the players of Yun City Team were already there, including the coaching staff. They were all waiting for Lin Fan.
Everyone was talking, discussing the recent dismissal of Head Coach Li Shanfeng. For a mont, hearts were uneasy; the new owner arrived and imdiately dismissed the head coach, which was truly alarming.
"Old Li was just let go like that? They say new officials burn three fires upon taking office, and Mr. Lin is playing for real."
"Old Li always seed a bit too flashy. Being dismissed this ti is also due to not recognizing the mountain in front of him, confronting the boss unjustifiably."
"Looks like we all need to keep a low profile, the boss isn't joking around."
With Li Shanfeng being dismissed, Lin Fan's power was firmly established. Everyone was filled with respect and awe for Lin Fan, and all thought about behaving cautiously; nobody wanted to be foolish, and Li Shanfeng was undoubtedly the fool.
"Hey, I heard Wu Da ca, is it true?"
Suddenly soone asked.
A player present at the ti replied, "It's true. This Wu Da has really fallen hard; he looks no different from a beggar."
"Isn't his leg crippled? What's he here for?" Soone asked curiously.
The player said, "He said he's here to apply for the position of assistant coach."
"Assistant coach? He has a crippled leg; I don't think he's touched a ball in years. Does he have the ability to be an assistant coach?"
Soone expressed doubt.
Soone sighed, "Wu Da was a genius player before; it's such a pity that his leg got crippled in an accident..."
"I know Wu Da was a genius, but how exactly did he get injured? There are many theories; does anyone know what really happened?" Soone asked.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.
"This matter, you can't talk about casually." Soone said cautiously, "The boss is having a talk with Wu Da; it seems they know each other."
"No way!" Everyone's voices suddenly dropped, a bit surprised and a bit scared; Lin Fan's dismissal of Li Shanfeng truly had a strong deterrent effect.
At this mont, a middle-aged man walked over.
Upon seeing this middle-aged man, everyone greeted him promptly: "Director Wang!"
"Hello, Director Wang!"
"Director Wang is back!"
This middle-aged man, nad Wang Datie, was the assistant coach of Yun City Team.
Wang Datie nodded and said, "What's going on? I just received the news, what happened to Old Li?"
Soone explained the events to him.
Wang Datie was shocked: "Dammit, playing this big! Our new boss arrived and just removed the head coach, what's going on?"
"Who knows! His reason is Director Li didn't have good results and poor character; I think the main reason is his poor performance."
"Our Yun City Team's performance is indeed not great, we have to admit that."
"Now the biggest concern is, with the boss' decisive action, we don't know who will suffer, it's making everyone uneasy!"
Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
Wang Datie hemd, "Afraid of nothing, poor results, and Old Li takes the bla. I've long said Old Li is too flashy, sooner or later he'll have issues. All of you, just mind your business and behave!"
Everyone nodded, feeling that Wang Datie spoke sensibly.
"Now the head coach position is vacant, we don't know what the boss plans to do."
"I think Director Wang could take the position!"
"No one is more suitable than Director Wang!"
Listening to these complints, Wang Datie felt a bit pleased and a bit expectant, rubbing his hands together; he had waited for this day for too long. If he really could take the position...
"If I beco the head coach, I'll treat everyone to a big celebration!" Wang Datie laughed.
Everyone cheered.
"By the way, Director Wang, it is heard you were teammates with Director Li, and all of you played with Wu Da before? What's the story with Wu Da?" Soone suddenly asked.
Wang Datie was a bit taken aback: "Wu Da? Why bring him up?"
That person said, "Wu Da ca today, said he's applying for assistant coach. The whole boss is having a talk with him right now."
Wang Datie's expression changed: "What, Wu Da ca?"
"Director Wang, what's going on, do you know? Everyone's curious. Wu Da, the genius player of the past, what did he go through?"
Wang Datie said, "I'm not clear about the specifics. I can only say that when a tree stands out from the forest, the wind will destroy it. Back then, Wu Da erged as a genius player, drawing great attention. He stord through the Xia Super League, led Yun City Team to win the Xia Super League Championship; that year, he was only 17! Yun City Team won the Super League Championship for the first ti in history, and Wu Da was hailed as a star from the heavens. Soon, he caught the nation's attention. However, just as he was about to enter the national team, sothing happened."
Soone said, "I heard he angered soone and was retaliated against, is it true?"
Wang Datie said, "I can't say anything irresponsibly; all I know is he had a car accident, hit by a vehicle, broke his leg severely, couldn't recover, and his leg was crippled. He had to retire, at the age of 17. It's quite unfortunate. I haven't seen him since. By the way, what's his situation now?"
Soone said, "Quite pitiful, looks like a beggar."
Wang Datie sighed, "That's really too sad. Don't know where he got the courage to co and apply as an assistant coach. I estimate he's likely to fail, given how many years he's been away from football and with a broken leg, how could he handle this role?"
Everyone nodded, feeling Wang Datie made sense.
A certain office.
Lin Fan was chatting with Wu Da.
Lin Fan said, "Uncle, you ca to apply for assistant coach, I need to ask you a few questions. Rest assured, I won't ask personal questions, like about your past; I know you're reluctant to share. Today we'll only talk football."
The limping uncle felt very grateful, "Thank you."
He felt Lin Fan was really good; not only is Lin Fan skilled at football, he's also extrely wealthy. Most importantly, Lin Fan's character is so good; this young man really has great vision! It was because of Lin Fan's vision that he mustered the courage to apply.
Lin Fan said, "Uncle, I think I told you before, I bought Yun City Team hoping that one day we can help Huaxia football win more World Cup trophies. This step is sowhat far off, but for now, I need to make Yun City Team successful. I've dismissed Li Shanfeng, and now the head coach position is vacant. What are your thoughts?"
The limping uncle said, "Being a head coach isn't easy, especially for Yun City Team's head coach. I've always kept an eye on this Yun City Team. From the head coach to the players, none are good; they need a major overhaul. Actually, in simple terms, they need to recruit talent!"
Lin Fan responded with interest, "Uncle, do you an we should spend big money to hire a foreign head coach?"
Nowadays, so dostic football teams indeed do this; due to a lack of local talent, high-level football abroad offers many talents, so spending money on foreign coaches and foreign star players is quite expensive.
The limping uncle laughed and said, "No, although saying this might be narrow-minded, I don't want your money to be earned by foreigners. I already have an ideal candidate in mind for Yun City Team's head coach."
Lin Fan asked, "Who is it?"
The limping uncle pointed to himself and said, "."
