Chapter 4 An accident

"Maurizio, I have found the person you want. Next, I hope to see us successfully upgrade!"

The current Empoli coach is Maurizio Sarri. He looked at the information in his hand and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He did not expect that the management would play such a trick.

As one of the few coaches in Italy who advocates offense, Sarri is very aware of the current situation.

They are currently ranked first in the Serie B standings. In order to keep their spot for direct promotion, they need to get one of the top two in the league at the end of the league.

Such a request does not sound difficult, but to achieve it, they still need to inject "fresh" "blood" into the front line.

However, the team's finances do not support their recruitment in the winter window, and the lack of recruitment funds also leads them to "Taobao".

In addition, the Serie B standings have also been temporarily determined.

The 21st round of the league has ended, and the current ranking is:

1, Empoli: 39 points

2, Palermo: 38 points

3. Crotone: 32 points

4, Latina: 30 points

Although Empoli is in first place, there are still 21 league rounds to come, and no team dares to say that they can be firmly in the top two positions in the league after the end of the season.

In order to avoid falling into the "cruel" play-offs again, Sarri needs more support from the management.

Only with the full support of the management can Sarri flex his muscles and achieve this goal.

The focus now is to introduce a new forward to make up for the team's rotation.

Because of the changes in the forward lineup, they need to prepare for the worst-being dragged into the play-offs.

The play-offs are cruel. After experiencing a painful play-off, they don't want to experience the taste of failure again, so this time what they want is a direct promotion!

After a cursory look at Li Feng's scouting report, Sarri raised his doubts.

"Are you sure he can do it?"

"This is the best choice at the moment. You know our finances!"

Sarri was silent when talking about the team's finances. He has coached Empoli for so many years and he is very aware of the current situation of the club.

To describe it in one sentence, Empoli is really poor now, and they urgently need to upgrade to help the team relieve financial pressure.

"Don't worry, he has some strength, otherwise he wouldn't get Filippo's attention."

Sarri still trusts Filippo Inzaghi's vision. Knowing that he cannot find a better candidate, Sarri can only accept it.

As for Li Feng's salary, he doesn't care. After all, this loan plan does not include a buyout. If you really want to give the other party enough playing time, this still needs to be considered.

Back in his office, Sari began to study Li Feng's information.

"No. 9? Only 17 years old?!"

A 17-year-old No. 9 player made him feel a dull pain in his head.

This time he was deceived by the management again.

"Pedri, you really deserve to die!"

Although he saw Li Feng's U17 performance of 34 goals, he still needed to meet Li Feng first.

In Sarri's eyes, the information given by scouts is "dead". Only by truly seeing the players' training can he make a final judgment.

He looked up and glanced at the calendar on the table.

Sari sighed.

This is 25 days before the start of the 22nd round of the league.

Considering the winter window holiday, he needs to let the players return to the team at least a week in advance.

According to the degree of delay in the Italian transfer window, Li Feng would have no problem reporting before the start of the 23rd round of the league.

But it remains to be determined whether we can have time to get used to it!

January 7th was a day that left a deep impression on Sarri.

Sarri was about to enjoy his short vacation when he received a call from his "boss".

"Maurizio, now there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to know first?"

Hearing this, Sari felt a bad premonition in his heart, "If you have anything to say, just say it, I can handle it!"

Pedri, who is the manager of Empoli Club, was silent for a moment.

The first time he got the news, he was so angry that he dropped the phone in his hand.

"Our starting forward Francesco is injured and is expected to be absent for 4-6 weeks."

"What?!"

The backpack Sari was carrying fell directly to the ground.

This news has completely affected his good mood. What he wants to do at this time is to rush directly to the club and ask Pedri face to face.

"our"

"Stop talking, where are you now? If it's a club, I'll go find you!"

Sarri adjusted his breath and tried hard to calm down. If such an "accident" happened to the club, he, as the head coach, would definitely have to give up his vacation.

"Come to my office."

Because of this news, Sarri gave up his vacation and hurried to Pedri's office.

With a "bang", Sari pushed open the wooden door of the office.

When he first entered the house, he saw a young man with yellow skin.

"Ahem, Maurizio, this is Li Feng, you can call him Li."

Pedri noticed Sarri's gaffe, and he winked at Sarri, indicating that there was someone here, so don't be impulsive.

Sarei's skin twitched. He adjusted his emotions and looked Li Feng up and down.

This seemed a bit beyond his expectations.

Just from the appearance, Li Feng gave him the feeling of "danger", which was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

"Li, you go to the venue below to do some activities first. I have something to tell you later."

"yes!"

After watching Li Feng leave, Sarri turned his attention to Pedri.

"What happened to Francesco? Why was he suddenly injured?"

Regarding Sarri's question, Pedri shrugged and said he didn't know.

"I'm not sure about this. I also got the news from his agent this morning. Due to some accidents, there was a slight bone fracture in the tibia of his right leg."

A slight bone fracture. After confirming the news, Sari took off his glasses and kept wiping his gold-rimmed glasses.

Pedri looked at Sarri's actions and sighed. Such actions also meant that Sarri's inner mood was "violent" at this time. No head coach wanted to hear such news.

"Now that something has happened, we need to face it. Besides, young Li looks good. If not, let's focus on training him."

"Huh, that's the only way it can be!"

Sarri sighed. He was very aware of the current situation. When Francesco Tavano was unable to play, the team's forward line was in a semi-paralyzed situation.

But placing all his hopes on the young man on loan, he himself felt unreliable!
