Chapter 1029 How is this possible?

After hearing Pochettino's question, Master Huan smiled slightly and nodded, "You go ahead."

This master and disciple pair really have similar personalities!

Pochettino thought about it, as if trying to organize it in his mind.

"Master Huan, I have watched all the video recordings of Beijing Guo'en's games in the past season. I think that judging from the current situation of the team, it is far from enough to have only Kaka in the midfield and frontcourt."

After hearing this, Yang Huan glanced at Bielsa, who shook his head, indicating that he had not said anything to him.

"Go on." Master Huan said with interest.

"I think if we want to shape this team as quickly as possible and improve its fighting power, we need at least a midfield organizer and a striker to form the center axis of the team with Kaka and Terry."

A central axis is crucial for a team.

If the team is compared to a person, then this central axis is the person's backbone, supporting the entire person.

The same goes for the team.

Therefore, even in Europe, a mature team, no matter how many times it changes, will try to move the central axis as little as possible, or even not move it at all, because once this line moves, it is likely to cause serious damage.

Yang Huan understood what Pochettino meant.

Given the current tactical level of domestic players, it is definitely not possible to implement his tactics for the time being.

As a head coach, if he fails to get players capable of implementing his tactical ideas, how can he achieve results?

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Pochettino nodded and said, "I think if Master Huan is considering introducing a foreign midfielder, Gabi from Atletico Madrid and Badelj from Hamburg are both good candidates."

Both players are core midfielders in the top four European leagues.

Gabi is a bit older, now 32, and is in pretty good shape.

But now Simeone's team is really strong, with young talents like Illarramendi and Krychowiak, as well as versatile young players like Saul. Gabi's status is not as good as before.

However, he is still a qualified rotation player in Atletico Madrid, and he still performs well when the team needs him.

This is also the reason why Simeone sold players such as Mario Suarez and Raul Garcia, but kept Gabi alone.

Badelj's situation is a bit similar to Gabi's, but the Croatian midfielder is younger and his style is more inclined to core play. However, in the Hamburg midfield, Tuchel uses Weigl to partner with Geis in the new season, with a three-midfield combination of Gotze in front.

This pair of local iron triangle has created Hamburg's strong performance this season. Their position is as stable as a rock. Coupled with young players such as Godino, Hojbjerg, Kimmich and others, let alone Badelj, even Hazard's younger brother Thorgan Hazard finds it difficult to play as a starter in the team.

It should be said that the two candidates proposed by Pochettino are indeed very good, and they are basically Yang Huan’s own players. It is not difficult to recruit them. As long as the players nod, it can be done.

But after hearing this, Yang Huan shook his head and laughed.

When Bielsa saw his look like this, he wanted to cover his face, because he knew that Master Huan was going to pretend to be something.

"Mauricio, Gabi and Badelj are good players, but they don't fit the team's plan."

Pochettino frowned. What does that mean?

Could it be that Young Master Huan doesn't want to introduce a core midfielder?

Could it be that Master Huan insisted on adopting Kaka himself?

So how will the midfield operate in the new season?

Kaka is not the kind of player who can support an entire midfield by himself.

"Don't worry, Mauricio, I don't mean that we won't recruit any players." Master Huan saw Pochettino's expression and still laughed, looking incredibly calm. "What I mean is that Gabi and Badelj are not big enough."

"Not big enough?" Pochettino was a little surprised.

You know, these two players are considered first-line midfielders in the Bundesliga and La Liga. Aren’t they big enough?

"I don't quite understand, Master Huan." Pochettino smiled bitterly.

Given the current situation in the Chinese Super League, being able to introduce players of the level of Gabi and Badley is already the limit. Does Young Master Huan still hope to introduce stronger superstars?

Wait, could it be that...

"Think about it, Mauricio, are there any popular midfielders in the recent European winter transfer market?"

Hot item?

Pochettino frowned and thought for a while, "Master Huan, are you talking about Xavi from Barcelona?"

Not long ago, news leaked from Barcelona that veteran midfielder Xavi might leave the team, either during the winter break or during the summer transfer window. He would definitely leave the team.

In fact, everyone knows that Xavi is old. If Barcelona had not failed to recruit players last summer, resulting in Rakitic and other players being snatched away by Chelsea, Xavi would have left the team long ago.

A veteran is a veteran after all. Time is merciless and it is only a matter of time before Xavi leaves.

But Yang Huan shook his head after hearing this. "Xavi is indeed a big name, but he is old after all, and his condition is not ideal, so I haven't considered him."

Pochettino was simply dumbfounded.

Who is Harvey?

Who among football fans around the world doesn’t know this?

But Master Huan said that Harvey’s condition was not ideal?

Although this is the truth, the question is, with the level of the Chinese Super League, who else do you want to introduce?

Looking at Terry and Kaka who have been confirmed by Master Huan, they are basically big-name superstars who are in good shape. Although they are a bit out of date, they can still play in the Chinese Super League with ease.

Wait, could it be that...

"Xabi Alonso?" Pochettino was really scared.

But Master Huan smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Bingo!"

It's really him!

Oh my god, Xabi Alonso is going to play in the Chinese Super League? Is this possible? Is it realistic?

Although the outside world has basically confirmed that Bayern Munich will not renew the contract with Xabi Alonso, the problem is that Xabi Alonso is now a popular first-line midfielder in Europe, different from Gabi, Badelj, and even Xavi.

Judging from Xabi Alonso's performance last season and this season, there is no shortage of places for him in Europe's top teams.

There have even been rumors that Premier League teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and others are all keen on Xabi Alonso.

Let me ask, is it possible that the Spaniard would give up the opportunity to play football in Europe at this time and go to the Chinese Super League?

But when Pochettino had doubts in his heart, he looked at the confident Master Huan in front of him, and he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment.

I think it's impossible, but what if Young Master Huan comes forward?

"Xabi Alonso, is he enough to fill the gap in your midfield?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Pochettino nodded blankly, "Enough!"

That’s enough!

If a star of Xabi Alonso's level is not enough for Pochettino, who else does he want to bring in?

This is the core midfielder who was a main player for Bayern Munich in the first half of the season!

“But...Master Huan, is he really sure he wants to come to the Chinese Super League?” Pochettino asked timidly.

He still didn't quite believe it was true, although he was very sure that having Xabi Alonso would be an extremely happy thing, and even looked forward to Xabi Alonso and Kaka forming a dream midfield.

But the question is, is this realistic?

"I can be 100% sure that this is true!" Yang Huan nodded very affirmatively.

"As you have heard, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are all interested in Xabi Alonso, but on the one hand he is already 34 years old and it is a bit beyond his ability to play in the Premier League again."

Pochettino understands that this is indeed a problem.

The fast-paced and high-intensity games in the Premier League are indeed difficult for a 34-year-old veteran.

But he could easily imagine that apart from Master Huan, there were probably few people who could persuade Xabi Alonso to give up the Premier League and switch to the Chinese Super League.

Think about it, we have Terry in the backcourt, Xabi Alonso and Kaka in the midfield...

Wow, the new season of Beijing Guoan is simply going to be amazing!

If we can bring in another strong player on the front line...

The scene is so beautiful that it’s hard to bear to look at it!

In fact, one of the important reasons why Yang Huan decided to do this is that he believes that the big-name superstars have their own unique understanding of football.

It is undoubtedly ideal to use big-name superstars to promote Pochettino's overall tactics as soon as possible, and then use the team's overall tactics to guide domestic players, help them adapt to this set of tactics as soon as possible, and improve their own strength.

Just imagine, Messi's growth and progress are inseparable from the years of playing and training next to Ronaldinho in his early career. Cristiano Ronaldo's success is also inseparable from Scholes, Giggs, and even Keane's early **.

What big-name superstars can pass on to their young teammates is not only professionalism and training attitude, but also good playing habits and some valuable experience accumulated through hard work in their careers.

Yang Huan has always believed that Chinese football does not lack talent, but only lacks the soil to nurture talent.

Pochettino is a head coach who attaches great importance to and is very good at promoting and training young players, which is also a traditional feature of Argentine head coaches.

With Pochettino as the head coach, the addition of these big-name superstars, and a group of highly qualified young players in the country, are you still worried that Beijing Guoan will lack combat effectiveness?

Master Huan is full of confidence in his layout and the future of the team, while Pochettino is full of expectations and excitement about the team he is about to coach.

What kind of team would it be if it consisted of Terry, Kaka and Xabi Alonso?

Pochettino can guarantee that such a team's every move will attract much attention in China and even in the world, and will successfully attract the attention of fans around the world.

By that time, he, the head coach, will also be favored and become famous.

If he can lead this team and improve its results, would he still be worried about not having the opportunity to coach a top European team in the future?

Thinking of this, Pochettino seemed to be ignited and full of fighting spirit.

But soon, he suddenly remembered another question.

"Master Huan, among these four foreign players, besides Terry, Kaka and Xabi Alonso, who are the other ones?" Pochettino asked with concern.

This time he was just purely curious, because in his opinion, as long as he had these three superstars, that would be enough.

As for the remaining foreign aid, as long as his ability is not too bad and his position is suitable, he will be satisfied.

Yang Huan laughed again, and Bielsa had the urge to cover his face again.

When Pochettino heard another name from Young Master Huan, he was completely stunned. He jumped up from his seat with an expression of disbelief. He looked at Young Master Huan and muttered to himself.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

Young Master Huan smiled pretentiously, "With me, everything is possible!"

At this moment, the young Argentine coach felt like falling down and fainting!
