Having secured Alphonso Davis, the future "World's No. 1 Left", Pan Yi felt comfortable.
The current main lineup of York City has Baker at the high center, Lin Liangming + Alphonso Davis on the left, Karlstrom in the middle, and Kulusevski can play as a midfielder or right winger, and the goalkeeper has Isaacson, it feels like the framework has been lifted.
At present, we still need about 1-2 forwards, 1-2 midfielders, and the midfield and frontcourt personnel are about the same.
After all, just playing in League One doesn't need to be too luxurious. It's not a big problem for the main veterans in the original team to stay and play for a rotation, including some players with registered permanent residence who can meet the registration requirements.
So the next focus is on the back line.
With a left back, of course two center backs are needed, as well as a right back.
One of the central defenders, Pan Yi, has already asked Scaloni to take care of it.
The boss is so hard-working, so as the head coach, you have to work hard too!
So, who is to be dealt with?
It is none other than Declan Rice, the future British star whose net worth can reach hundreds of millions of pounds!
What, you said he's a midfielder?
In fact, he can play in the middle of the midfield and backcourt. He also played as a central defender in the first team of West Ham United and performed very well.
Of course, Rice is the best to play in the defensive midfield position. After all, he has accurate long passes, accurate blocking tackles, smart escape and advancement, and heavy artillery strikes from the outside. In addition, with a height of 1.85 meters, he can retreat and defend. He can attack and attack, and his comprehensive attributes allow him to become the team's midfield hub.
In short, if he is introduced, whether he is a central defender or a midfielder, he can play, and we will see the final result of York City's recruitment.
And his presence will definitely make York City's formation more flexible.
According to the normal timeline, Rice has already been removed from Chelsea's youth training system and has now gone to West Ham United's U21 youth team.
However, due to Pan Yi's previous interference, Rice still stayed in the Chelsea youth team, but he still failed to show superhuman abilities and failed to be promoted to the U23 this season, let alone the first team.
Therefore, Pan Yi had already asked Scaloni to say hello to Arteta in advance and pour this "swill" to York City.
Arteta has been officially announced as the head coach by Chelsea after the European Cup, so this kind of transaction is considered an "internal exchange" and is definitely not a big problem.
As for why not get a few more from the Chelsea youth team?
Again, the appeal of English League One is too low. Even Chelsea's youth team is a youth team of a wealthy club. Many people are not willing to go to a league that is too low.
If you look at Chelsea's "taxi" every year, most of the players they rent go to the five major leagues, and again the English Championship.
And even if the players are willing, it is not easy for Pan Yi to empty out his disciple's wealth. After all, Arteta still has to have sustainable development space at Chelsea.
Therefore, even if Pan Yi recruits people from Chelsea, he is still recruiting players like Rice who have been given up.
Anyway, Pan Yi has open eyes, so he doesn’t have to worry about having no place to poach people!
No, now he has set his sights on an island country in the Pacific.
There, too, is a future Premier League-level defender...

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
The young man who got up early in the morning for a run shouted loudly and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Although Japan's football season is still in the short summer intermission, Kenyo Tomiyasu has not relaxed his strict requirements on himself. He has been insisting on exercising.
In addition to morning jogging, he also consciously goes to the club's training base to practice every day, and he exercises a lot every day.
He was born in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and now plays for the local team Fukuoka Hornets, so he can often live at home, making life and training very convenient.
Seeing this, Fuan Jianyang's father and mother both nodded in relief.
"Xiaoyang worked really hard. Mom, you taught me well, thank you."
"Xiaoyang also has a good father."
Fuan Jianyang, who was about to take a shower, heard his parents complimenting each other and curled his lips without saying anything.
Fu'an Jianyang was quite naughty when he was a child. Whenever he made a mistake or was disobedient, his mother would come to reason with him first, and finally his father would come to reason with him. Sometimes, there would be no order, and both parents would come together.
Well, Fu An Jianyang's family are all athletes, and they are all strong! My father is in baseball and kendo, my mother is in track and field, and my two sisters are both professional swimmers.
So at home, Fuan Jianyang is of course the weakest one, and under everyone's "strong" education, he does have a self-disciplined and hard-working attitude.
Originally, Fuan Jianyang was planning to take the swimming path like his sisters, but due to an accidental mouth injury, he was unable to enter the water, so he turned to running on the track.
Later, when he was running, he was discovered by Kanji Tsuji, the manager of the Sanzhu Club, that the child was amazingly fast and had thick calves. He had great potential to grow very tall, and then persuaded Tomiyasu Kenyo's parents to let him play football.
During elementary school, thanks to Tsuji Kanji's local connections, the Sanzhu Club had a large number of games on weekends, so Tomiyasu Kenyo could participate in 200-300 games a year.
Kanji Tsuji is very optimistic about Kenyo Tomiyasu. He believes that Kenyo Tomiyasu's dribbling speed is very fast, and no child in the entire Fukuoka Prefecture can catch up with him.
During this period, Fuyasu Jianyang aspired to become a professional football player. He wrote in his graduation collection, "I want to become a professional football player and build a house for my parents."
At the age of 11, Kenyo Tomiyasu joined Barcelona's football academy in Fukuoka.
In three years, Fuan Jianyang performed well, and the coach recommended him to Barcelona's La Masia training camp, but later Barcelona failed to sign Fuan Jianyang.
After entering junior high school, Kenyo Tomiyasu joined the U18 youth team of the J2 League Fukuoka Hornets Club.
In 2015, last year, at the age of 16, he completed registration with the team and participated in the third round of the Emperor's Cup, making his career debut against Machida Zevia.
This was also Tomiyasu Kenyo's only appearance for the Fukuoka Hornets in 2015.
This year, he was promoted from the J2 League to the J1 League with the Fukuoka Hornets, and he also had some playing time in the league.
However, after playing the first half of the season, the Fukuoka Hornets' results were disastrous. With 2 wins, 5 draws, 10 losses and 11 points, they were last in the J1 League. It seemed inevitable that they would be eliminated in the first round of J1.
Of course, for Fuyasu Jianyang, who is not yet 18 years old, it doesn't matter whether he plays J1 or J2. The key is to train hard to become stronger in order to get more playing opportunities!
——
When the family was eating together, Fuan Jianyang's cell phone rang.
"It's Mr. Hase." Fuyasu Jianyang said.
The "Mr. Hase" mentioned by Kenyo Tomiyasu is the general manager of the Fukuoka Hornets Club.
Everyone in the family is very surprised. We are only halfway through the season. What will happen if the club manager calls at this time?
Then, Fuan Jianyang's father noticed that his son's expression changed continuously while he was talking on the phone. After finally hanging up the phone, he was stunned.
"What's wrong? Xiaoyang?" the mother asked with concern.
"I...I may...may not play football for the Fukuoka Hornets." The seventeen-year-old boy was a little distracted.
When the mother's face changed, she looked at her son worriedly.
And dad's brows also frowned.
"Kid, don't worry. With your current level, it is indeed difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the J1 League. They are currently performing poorly, so it is understandable that they want to terminate your contract. It doesn't matter, I will contact other clubs..."
Then, they saw Fuan Jianyang seeming to have suddenly come to his senses, looking at his parents blankly: "What, what about the termination of the contract?"
"It's not a termination of the contract? What's wrong?" Dad scratched his head.
Mom also went over and touched Fuan Jianyang's forehead: "You shouldn't be sick, right?"
At this time, Fuan Jianyang's eyes shone and he hugged his mother suddenly, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to play football in England! An English League One team has taken a liking to me, and the club has agreed to their offer. Now! I’m going to play football in the UK! I’m going to play football in the UK!”
Yes, York City Club directly purchased their young defender Kenyo Tomiyasu from the newly promoted Japanese J1 League team Fukuoka Hornets.
Then, the Fukuoka Hornets readily agreed.
When it comes to players studying abroad, Japanese clubs seem to have a unified standard, that is, they will never stop them!
Whether it is the J1 League or the J2 League, it seems to be a springboard for Japanese players to reach high-level leagues. Their clubs are willing to send their good players to Europe.
This attitude has also enabled waves of Japanese players to successfully land in Europe and shine in the five major leagues.
At the same time, this approach has also improved the level of the Japanese national team, giving them the qualifications to challenge the world's top teams.
Whether it is against Belgium in 2018 or against Germany and Spain in 2022, their performance has impressed fans all over the world!
Of course, as a Japanese player, Kenyo Tomiyasu also has the determination to go abroad.
He won't be picky about where to stay.
Many Japanese football seniors started playing in the second and third tier leagues, and some struggled in some very small leagues.
For Fu Yasu Jianyang, these are his role models.
As long as you can go out and play football, you will definitely gain something!
In fact, if York City had not made a move at this time, he would have also transferred to the Saint-Truden team of the Belgian League in 2018.
After only playing for one year, he was bought by Bologna in Serie A due to his outstanding performance. The transfer fee at this time was already as high as 8 million euros!
Then after spending two seasons in Serie A, the Premier League giant Arsenal spent more than 20 million euros to sign Fu Yasu Jianyang.
As soon as Kenyo Tomiyasu came to Arsenal, he solved the problem of the team's right back configuration. His aerial ability became his advantage, and he was often used in corner kick tactics, winning the favor of Arsenal fans.
And this is also an important reason why Pan Yi likes Fuan Jianyang.
Moreover, this guy can not only play right back, but also left back and center back. It can be said that he is a versatile player on the back line. This is Pan Yi's favorite type!
To be honest, in addition to Fu Yasu Jianyang, Pan Yi originally thought about whether to bring the future "three-goal king" Mikaru Kaoru to Europe.
But at this time, Mikasaru had just graduated from high school, and he had already shown his football talent. However, he rejected all the signing requests from professional clubs and chose to be admitted to the University of Tsukuba, a famous national university in Japan.
According to his life plan, he wants to finish college and then start his football career, so it is useless for anyone to come now.
Of course, even though he was in college, he was closely connected with football.
For example, the title of his graduation thesis is "Research on Attacker Information Processing in Football 1-on-1 Scenario"...
——
At this moment, Fuan Jianyang’s father’s phone rang.
"Hello, is this Mr. Fu'an? Can you understand English?" said the other end of the phone.
"Hello, I can speak English." As a former professional athlete, Fuan Jianyang's father learned English.
For the father who has been preparing for his son to play football in Europe, it is inevitable for Fuan Jianyang to take English training classes in addition to training and games.
Therefore, Fuan Jianyang’s English level is now passable.
"Great, I'm Pan Yi from York City Club." This call was from Pan Yi.
Fu'an Jianyang's father is his son's agent, so Pan Yi contacted his father directly.
"Hello...Hello." Fuan Jianyang's father's voice trembled slightly.
On the one hand, his son is about to go to Europe to play football, and of course he is very excited;
On the other hand, the caller was Pan Yi!
The most awesome football coach in the world came to find his son to join the team. What does this mean?
"What do you think of this contract?" On the phone, Pan Yi briefly explained the contract conditions.
Japan is really too far away!
It only takes five or six hours for him to fly from the UK to Canada, but if he flies from Canada to Japan, it will take more than ten hours!
Then it takes even more time to return to Europe from Japan...
Therefore, Pan Yi simply called and communicated on the phone.
Anyway, he knows it can be done, right? There is no need to go there in person.
"I have no objection." Sure enough, Fuan Jianyang's father quickly replied.
"So, where is Fuan Jianyang? Do you want to ask his opinion?"
"My opinion is his opinion," the father said. Good, this is very Japanese.
"Very good, then it's settled." Pan Yi said, "I'll give you an email and fax number. You can send your passport information and other information over, and the club will be responsible for booking flights and arranging accommodation for you."
"Okay, no problem, thank you very much." Fuan Jianyang's father nodded hurriedly.
The York City Club has made very detailed arrangements and is worthy of being a century-old club in England.
Of course, even if it's very careless, even if he doesn't pay a penny of salary, he still has to agree.
Even if he had to pay for it, he couldn't let his son miss this opportunity!
What's more, Pan Yi also showed enough sincerity, with a five-year contract and a weekly salary of 2,000 euros, which is much higher than Xiao Jianyang's current salary!
This translates into an annual salary of 100,000 euros. It is rare for young people in Japan to have such a salary.
This also shows that the former Chelsea seven-time champion and new European Cup champion coach, now the York City boss, really values his son.
Finally, Pan Yi chatted with Fuan Jianyang again.
The young man can now understand a lot of English, but he is still a little stumbling when speaking it, so Pan Yi also keeps short stories.
"Fu'an, after you come to the club, I will find an English teacher for you. I hope that after you come, you can master English familiarly. After all, communication is also an important part of football!" Pan Yi said.
"I will study hard, sir."
"Very good, welcome to join York City." Pan Yi said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to your performance in the new season."
"I won't let you down." Fu'an Jianyang said excitedly.
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Fuan Jianyang excitedly waved his fist, and then rushed directly to hug his father, "Dad, do I really want to go to England to play football? Do I really want to play for Pan Yi? Is this true? You hit me, I suspect this is a dream!"
duang~
A seemingly powerful "punch" that was actually lighter than usual landed on Fuan Jianyang's chest.
Dad deliberately made a fierce expression, but he couldn't help but grinned: "How can our family all have the same dream together? It's true, you are going to play football in Europe! We Let’s celebrate!”
Today's news and phone call are great news for Fuan Jianyang's family.
The whole family was very happy. Fuan Jianyang's mother even cried with joy, and his father also took out his collection of sake and made an exception to allow his son to have a few drinks with him.
Fuan Jianyang's father, who was happy in his heart and drank a few more glasses, lowered his voice: "Xiaoyang, it's rare for a talented coach like Pan Yi to look at this. This is your opportunity. This is also the first time you have grown up. Being so far away from your hometown at once, you have to take good care of yourself, train and compete hard on the team. Haha, my son is also a genius, I have known it for a long time!"
Fu'an Jianyang has never seen his father, who has always been strict and believed that there is success under the stick, speak like this.
For a moment, he felt something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't speak. He took a sip of wine, but he choked.
So he coughed twice, then lowered his head and ate the vegetables to hide the tears in the corners of his eyes...
