I Sold Our Captain!
Will Morale Crumble?
Another Win
Yeah, we beat Shaanxi easily. The final score was 6-0. Did you expect something different?
New signing Zou Jiancong scored on his debut, showing that our scouts actually know what they are doing. I guess I haven’t introduced him yet; I’ll talk more about him below.
In the end, though, it was Frenchman Paul Wade, a familiar face around these parts, who wound up with the Man of the Match award. He’s young, he’s excellent in defensive midfield, and I think he’s going to be a mainstay on our squad for years to come.
The good times just keep on rolling. That makes 30 league wins in a row without a single defeat. And we’re sure to win our next match, too.
I guess I owe it all to Charlotte’s magic.
Selling Our Captain
Oh, by the way, I sold Fan Xiang.
This wasn’t really even a business decision. I made the move because it’s getting to the point where he’s just not good enough for this squad. I figured we might as well cash in now.
Everybody’s upset about it. Ye Jie was absolutely furious and demanded to speak with me.
I did my best to calm him down, and even appealed to his role as a leader and mentor in our squad. He still wouldn’t listen to reason, and stormed out of my office.
And so I did the only thing that made sense to me at the time. I put Ye Jie up for sale as well.
Eastern in Hong Kong came in with an offer for him, which I accepted. It wasn’t much money, but I figured I’d salvage what I could of our morale.
Ye Jie wound up rejecting the offer in the end. However, I might have another trick to stop him from ruining our morale.
New Affiliate Club
It took me a while to realize that April 25 in Pyongyang is one of our affiliate clubs.
I love having affiliate clubs. It gives me a place to stick those players who aren’t quite good enough for our main club. We can give them game time and let them develop without taking a risk on them playing poorly for our first team.
Of course, it also gives us another place to stick those pesky players who are upset about decisions that I make. After all, I’m all about pushing people around and making sure that I can do what I want. We don’t have any room for dissenting views on this club!
Anyway, I went to the board and asked for another affiliate club. It took a while, but they finally agreed.
Our new affiliate club is Yanbian Fayuan, or the Yanbian Law School.
Don’t ask me why we’re suddenly able to send our 20-year-old foreign players to law school without paying anything. This isn’t my country, and I don’t make the rules. I just do what I’m told, like a good soldier.
Yanbian Fayuan are an amateur side that could really use some of the help our loan players could give them. I think this will be an excellent relationship.
Qinghai Oulu
The only question coming into this match is whether we’re going to win by 10 goals again.
