Sitting in this quiet private room, the three of them chatted while eating.
But it was more about Simeone and Yun Sheng chatting, with Liu Sheng accompanying them.
Simeone looked at Yunsheng sincerely: "My Chinese brother, regarding the transfer of Diego Costa, I really thank you. I heard that he asked for your opinion before the transfer. Among several competitors, Atletico Madrid was recommended to him, and Mourinho's Real Madrid was not even recommended. This was also an important reason why this huge transfer was finally achieved. Although it was our first time to meet, you are busy. You have helped me so much, I must thank you in person!"
Yun Sheng smiled: "Costa is my friend. I just consider his development prospects and give him suggestions. It doesn't count as helping you. Besides, a Juventus coach helps the Atletico Madrid coach recruit people from Monaco. This is not Isn’t it too funny?”
"Hahaha! What you said is very interesting!" Simeone said with a smile, "But anyway, if you speak to Atletico Madrid, you are helping me. Thank you!"
The two chatted about everything from food and weather to daily life, but as football coaches, the topic of the two of them couldn't help but turn to team coaching.
Simeone said with admiration: "Although I coach in South America, your name has already been well known. You have coached three teams in four years, won 12 championship trophies, and become the youngest championship coach in the history of the Champions League. You are really the whole world." The best young coach in world football!"
Yun Sheng shrugged: "It's just good luck."
Simone shook his head: "I don't think so. My life creed is that as long as I can achieve my goal without violating the law and morality, I can do anything!"
Liu Sheng next to him smiled and said: "Diego, you have received a lot of scolding because of this creed of life."
Simeone was nonchalant: "None of this matters, what matters is winning and achieving the goal! The most obvious example is the 1998 World Cup knockout match. Don't look at so many Beckham fans scolding me, but is it useful? Their team The players were still eliminated. Besides, I didn’t do anything wrong. Who asked him to kick me? And it was the referee who sent him off. This is completely within the rules. Is there any problem?"
Yun Sheng took a mouthful of food and said calmly: "Although I don't agree with your point of view, I respect your approach. You are indeed within the rules, but you are a little unjust. In our Chinese tradition, this It's a bit unethical to do it. But it's true as you said, you won, there's nothing to say about it."
"Haha, you Chinese are so polite and always moral, unlike me. But then again," Simone looked at Yun Sheng with interest, "If one day, you can do it without being noticed, Would you not use it to make money through some special means? For example, the team you are coaching now has a criminal record. If your boss did something behind your back to help you win, wouldn't you be willing?"
After hearing this, Yun Sheng, who had been smiling just now, suddenly became serious: "Diego, to me, the meaning of fair play is more than the meaning of winning the game. We Chinese never bother to play tricks behind our backs. We We must win with dignity!”
Simeone asked again: "What if you force a choice between winning and fairness? Will you give up victory?"
Yun Sheng replied solemnly: "To be honest, this choice is difficult. I want to be fair and I also want to win. The only thing I can do is to make myself and my team stronger and have the ability to win with normal means." The other party’s strength, and avoid falling into this embarrassing situation.”
Seeing Yun Sheng's serious expression, Simeone couldn't help but nodded, with a look of admiration on his face: "Man, I really appreciate what you said, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. No wonder you can become the best of this era. Young coach, you are indeed unusual! I offer you a glass of wine!"
Regarding the issue of fair play, the two did not have a dispute for too long. After all, they were just chatting. If they found that they had different opinions, it was best not to go further to avoid any unpleasantness in their hearts.
When the wine was in full swing, Simone began to get down to business.
"Man, I envy you very much. Since you left Cottbus, whether in Monaco or Juventus, you have been able to get the full support of the boss. Even when the start of the league did not go well, the club did not complain. I Very envious."
"Now that I am at Atletico Madrid, it has been a very difficult start. Although I have completed a lot of signings, it is still not enough. Players such as Falcao, Arda Turan, and Gabi have joined, but Aguero, Fran , De Gea and many other main players have left, the team's lineup is still weak, especially the rotation players, there are very few. In the new season, Atletico Madrid operates on multiple fronts, and the bench depth is not enough."
"Man, your promotion and vision of Chinese players are famous throughout European football. This summer Wang Chuhe just transferred to Arsenal and formed a Chinese dual-core with Chen Tao; and at Manchester United, there are Dong Fangzhuo and Yu The Chinese double stars from Hainan; Monaco’s Zhang Linpeng, Cottbus’s Zhou Haibing and Feng Xiaoting, Juventus’ Zheng Zhi and Yu Dabao, etc., these players are all outstanding.”
"There are currently not enough players in Atletico Madrid's first team. Man, my Chinese brothers, do you have any suitable Chinese talented players that you can recommend to me? If there are suitable ones, I will arrange a trial for the players as soon as possible. If they are suitable, I will You will definitely not treat your compatriots badly, what do you think?"
Looking at Simone's sincere eyes, Yun Sheng knew that what he said was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, in the parallel world of later generations, Atletico Madrid has a lot of signings this summer, and they are not short of people.
But this life is different. Due to Yunsheng's disturbance in international football, many player transfer transactions have undergone major changes. Some players who were supposed to join Atletico Madrid this season have no chance with the Shenzhen Legion.
For example, Diego, who was supposed to join Atletico Madrid from the Bundesliga this season, was left at Juventus by Yunsheng and was in good form, regardless of the possibility of leaving the team.
There is also veteran Uyfalusi, who was supposed to come to Atletico Madrid a long time ago, but was intercepted by Yunsheng who was still in Monaco at the time.
It seems that their bench depth is indeed insufficient.
And Simeone is definitely not a person without ideas. He obviously hopes to achieve good results in multi-line operations and does not want to give up anywhere.
After listening to Simone's words, Yun Sheng nodded slightly.
"Diego, I understand what you mean. Since you are honest with me, I will also be honest with you. During this summer transfer period, I do have some ideas to prepare some Chinese players to stay abroad and travel to Europe. We can have an in-depth chat. Let’s talk…”
