Chapter 1036: The Art of Leadership

"Master Huan!"

"Master Huan?"

Accompanied by two exclamations, Yang Huan walked out of the elevator accompanied by Fang Wei and others.

When I heard the voice, I looked up and recognized it immediately because it looked familiar.

Aren’t they the current head coach of Beijing Guo’en, Wei Dong, and the captain of the first team, Xu Yunlong?

"Oh, Guards, Dragons!"

Yang Huan immediately went up to them with a smile and shook hands with the two heavyweight leaders of the team.

As for the roles of these two people in the Beijing Guoen team, Yang Huan knew it very well.

Wei Dong is a famous player of the team and the current team leader. He has been in the management for many years and has great prestige in the team. However, Yang Huan knows him well and he is a pure football man.

Yang Huan has always believed that men who are obsessed with football are usually genuine men who will not pretend.

Weidong is such a person, so over the years, he has always been the bridge of communication between the team management and the players.

As for Xu Yunlong, a former international player and the most influential player in the team, his position is somewhat similar to Terry's in the Chelsea locker room. He is also very loyal and truly loves this team.

"Master Huan, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Let's make some preparations."

After some polite greetings, Wei Dong said somewhat awkwardly.

"Ready?" Yang Huan laughed. "Guards, you're not planning to have the players walk to the elevator door, line up in two rows, bring some flowers or something, and line up to welcome me, right?"

Don't tell me, looking at Wei Dong's expression, he probably thought so.

"Don't be funny, that's all old news. We in Beijing Guoen will not use this anymore. In the future, any leader who comes here will have to follow our rules."

After a pause, Yang Huan smiled again, "I think, from now on, our Guoen will line up under one situation."

Wei Dong and Xu Yunlong looked over immediately. What kind of person would allow Young Master Huan to arrange the players to line up?

"That means we won the championship. Let's line up and welcome the runner-up to the stage to receive the award first!"

When Master Huan said this, everyone burst into laughter.

Isn't it? Everyone is willing to line up at this time.

Compared to those leaders who come for inspection, they line up on the surface but curse in their hearts, they are much worse.

Wei Dong and Xu Yunlong looked at each other and realized that Young Master Huan was very ambitious.

"I came here today for nothing. I just heard that the team had its first training session, so I came to take a look and introduce Pochettino to all of you. We will work together to make Beijing Guo'en the strongest team in the Chinese Super League."

Young Master Huan said so, but to Wei Dong, Xu Yunlong, and even Fang Wei and others, it sounded completely different.

To give the simplest example, those people in China who, when they go to certain departments, hospitals or other places to do business and encounter problems, loudly shout "I know your leader so-and-so" are usually strong on the outside but weak on the inside and pretentious.

Why?

Because, if he really knows a certain leader, or if a certain leader really has a close relationship with him, then it is very simple. The leader will personally come forward when he first comes to do business and say, "I'm xxx, please help me if I need anything."

The former is just pretending, and anyone who is familiar with the inside story will not be scared by him at all.

As for the latter, there is no need to say anything, everyone knows it, and it is very smooth to get things done.

Some people call this the art of leadership.

Therefore, Master Huan came here specially today, actually to express his attitude.

This Pochettino was personally appointed by him and he strongly supports him, so everyone has to give him convenience. Whoever does not give him convenience is not giving convenience to Young Master Huan. Even if Pochettino is really brought down, these people can't expect to have a good life.

The whole team belongs to Young Master Huan, what else is there to say?

From the moment Yang Huan showed up, he was laughing the whole time, holding Wei Dong with one hand and greeting Xu Yunlong with the other. Along the way, he kept asking the two of them about the team with great concern.

For example, what do the players think about the salary reform? Do they have any specific suggestions?

Master Huan also stated on the spot that the previous treatment of the Guoen team was lower than the actual level, and this time the players' salaries must be greatly increased so that all players can train and compete with peace of mind.

At first, Weidong and Xu Yunlong were a little hesitant, but after chatting along the way, they found that Master Huan really wanted to listen to their opinions, so they also put forward a lot of suggestions.

After listening to this, Yang Huan thought it made sense, so he immediately discussed it with Fang Wei and made a decision on the spot.

As for some things that still needed further study, Yang Huan handed them over to Fang Wei and asked him to study them carefully.

Wei Dong and Xu Yunlong have both been in Beijing Guoan and Chinese professional football for many years. Their rich experience has made them understand what reality is, so the questions they raise are basically very practical.

"All the questions you raised are very good. I have remembered them all and will study them carefully later."

Yang Huan solemnly made his promise.

"I personally have always believed that although professional football is a capital operation, for a professional team, the most important thing is not money but talent. How to discover and reuse talent is the key to the survival of a football team."

"This is my business philosophy. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will remain like this in the future!"

Weidong and Xu Yunlong understood that Master Huan's words were meant to give them confidence and tell them that the grace of the capital city would not change.

Master Huan is not the kind of investor who is indecisive and wants to make a big profit and leave. He wants long-term management because he is optimistic about the development potential of the football industry.

Nowadays, it is true that you cannot make money just by running a professional club, but there are ways and methods to make money.

When Yang Huan, Wei Dong, Xu Yunlong and others were walking and talking, they turned a corner and saw Bielsa and Pochettino standing outside the door of a conference room. There were three or four people around them, all of whom Yang Huan did not know.

"Marcelo, Mauricio!" Yang Huan immediately went up to them.

When Bielsa and Pochettino heard the voice, they looked over and found that it was Young Master Huan. They were all shocked.

"Master Huan, why are you here?"

Yang Huan suddenly felt depressed. Is it okay to ask a leader this question?

It shows that Bielsa is still the same after all these years and doesn't know how to be tactful at all.

"I came over to take a look and get to know everyone!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

Pochettino is a smart man. He understood immediately that Young Master Huan was there to support him. He felt a little touched. Such a boss is really amazing.

"What's wrong? What are you talking about?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

"Nothing, it's just that Mauricio suggested that although the training camp starts tomorrow, he hopes to focus on adjustments. At the same time, he wants to take the players to the streets of Barcelona for a walk, and he will be the tour guide."

Yang Huan found it funny and asked, "You are also a tour guide part-time?"

Pochettino laughed awkwardly, "Because I talked to the players today, accompanied by a translator, and I think that since they rarely come to Europe and Barcelona, ​​they will definitely want to travel around."

Yang Huan nodded, this is also human nature.

"Our training time this time is not short, relatively speaking, it is quite ample, so I would like to say that if we let the players have more time to walk outside, relax, and appreciate this beautiful city, I believe their mood and training enthusiasm will be higher."

Yang Huan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "This is a good idea. We brought the team here for training, not for them to go to jail. Team training is very important, but we also need to pay attention to the players' emotions."

Wei Dong and Xu Yunlong listened to this and couldn't help but look at Pochettino with softer eyes.

There have been rumors before that the training plan formulated by the Argentine head coach is very intense, even three training sessions a day, which made the players in the team miserable and believed that this would be a devil coach.

However, it now seems that although he has a tough side, he is not completely inflexible.

At the very least, he takes the players' emotions and psychology into consideration.

If all the players were to be imprisoned in a hotel or training ground for a month or two, who would be able to bear it, let alone a strong man? Wouldn't that be like being in prison?

"Fang Wei, what do you think?" Yang Huan asked Fang Wei beside him.

Fang Wei also nodded in support. "The team currently has this part of the budget and can provide funds, but..."

When he said this, Fang Wei looked at Wei Dong and Xu Yunlong, "If you fight, you will be responsible for it."

Wei Dong and Xu Yunlong both burst into laughter at once. This was natural.

Being able to go out shopping and visit various tourist attractions, aren’t the players satisfied?

Then, Pochettino introduced his team of assistants to Master Huan.

This time, the coaching team he brought to China consisted of three people, two assistant coaches and a goalkeeper coach, the three people Yang Huan did not know. They had all been working with Pochettino for many years, since the time at Espanyol. They cooperated very well with each other and understood Pochettino's ideas and intentions.

Yang Huan also encouraged these coaches, hoping that they could work well.

Pochettino is definitely not able to rely on these three assistants alone, so Beijing Guoan will be equipped with a complete coaching team to learn from Pochettino and help him with daily training.

Not only around Pochettino, but also around Bielsa, Griffa and Madoni, Beijing Guoan also arranged young talents that the club focused on cultivating to follow them and learn from them.

This is somewhat like the master-apprentice model, but it is true both in European football and in China.

Otherwise, who would be willing to hire an inexperienced newcomer?

While Yang Huan was talking to everyone outside the gate, Ibrahimovic and other players also arrived one after another.

When everyone saw Young Master Huan coming, they were all shocked.

They didn't expect that Young Master Huan would come. However, when they saw Young Master Huan solemnly introduce Pochettino to them and expressed his belief that Pochettino could lead Beijing Guoan to success, all the players and staff felt Young Master Huan's intention.

Afterwards, at the first internal meeting after the reorganization of Jingcheng Guoen, Yang Huan just sat aside and said nothing.

Pochettino took the lead and introduced his expectations and goals for this training camp in Spain, and also put forward some important things he needed the players to do.

When the Argentine coach mentioned that the team will organize a tour to Barcelona for the players starting tomorrow, including watching the games and training of Espanyol and Barcelona, ​​the players were all very excited.

Watching the training of La Liga teams up close will undoubtedly broaden their horizons, especially top clubs like Barcelona, ​​which are even more worthy of their learning.

Although Yang Huan sat aside and said nothing, he knew in his heart that Pochettino did a good job in his debut.

With a good start, things will be much easier afterwards.
