Chapter 428 It’s Him!

"What is it? Just tell me."

Bielsa agreed without hesitation.

He is now almost completely devoted to Yang Huan, not only because Yang Huan trusts and values ​​him, but also because Yang Huan understands him.

Yang Huan sat down on the sofa with a smile and motioned Bielsa to come over and talk.

He didn't speak until the Argentine madman came and sat down.

"I have nothing to do recently, so I bought a team for fun."

Bielsa opened his eyes and said, "Buy...acquire a team...to play with?"

Well, please don't blame me for not understanding. It's just that Master Huan's world is too crazy, and it's not something that ordinary people can understand.

"You know Monaco from the French Ligue 2, right?"

Bielsa nodded immediately, "This team has a good foundation, but Monaco's football market seems to have been very bleak..."

But the Argentine madman was actually smart. His eyes lit up and he looked at Yang Huan in disbelief again. He was full of admiration in his heart.

Monaco is the most famous tax haven in the world.

Needless to say, you know what's going on.

Seeing that he understood, Yang Huan didn't say much.

Many things are better known than seen.

"I am very sure that the French Ligue 1 will be the league with the most development potential in the whole of Europe in the next few years, so I bought Monaco at this time and planned to run it for a long time."

Bielsa kept nodding his head, and Master Huan said for sure, then there would be no problem.

I am just a football coach. My social status is different from that of Master Huan, and the information asymmetry is serious.

So, don't doubt it, you can't go wrong by listening to him.

"As you know, Monaco fell apart after being relegated. There are very few players on the team that I like, and the head coach is terrible, so I was wondering if you have any good recommendations?"

"Head coach?" Bielsa asked.

Yang Huan nodded, "Yes, it would be best if it matches our Southampton style."

When he said this, Bielsa's eyes lit up again.

Young Master Huan wants to turn Monaco into Southampton's star processing factory.

This is also in line with the positioning of Ligue 1. After all, in a short period of time, it is difficult for Ligue 1 to shake the foundation of the four major leagues.

Besides, can’t the star-making factory produce results?

This may not be the case

After thinking through this, Bielsa couldn't help but become cautious and pay attention to it. After all, this is related to long-term planning.

He thought for a full ten minutes, which was rare for Bielsa, who was always smart and quick-witted.

"I thought a lot and originally had several good candidates, such as Simeone of Atletico Madrid and Pochettino, the head coach of Espanyol. They are both coaches who meet your requirements."

Yang Huan frowned when he heard this. Pochettino is indeed quite like Bielsa, but Simeone...

Bielsa is also a smart man and immediately guessed what Yang Huan was thinking.

"Simeone's style is relatively conservative, which has a lot to do with Atletico Madrid's lineup, traditional style, and the competitive environment they face. In addition, Simeone's defensive organization is very Italian in style."

Yang Huan curled his lips. He didn't understand much about these things.

But it can also be heard that Bielsa still respects Simeone very much.

"Well, I was planning to let him go, but since you said so, let's keep him."

Bielsa didn't hear clearly for a moment, "Master Huan, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing, just mumbling to myself," Yang Huan chuckled.

Bielsa didn't take it to heart either, he was more concerned about the selection issue.

"I have a candidate here. In my opinion, he should be the most suitable candidate, but he has one shortcoming."

"What?"

"He has never coached a team in a European professional league"

Yang Huan immediately thought of someone, "The one you are talking about, could it be the head coach of Newell's Old Boys in the Argentine Primera Division?"

"Yes, it's Martino," Bielsa laughed.

Yang Huan shook his head, "That won't do. Isn't his style too conservative?"

Martino's best coaching achievement was the Paraguayan national team, which performed brilliantly in the World Cup and the America's Cup and became world-famous.

Later, he coached Newell's Old Boys and won the Argentine Primera Division Autumn Championship.

In Yang Huan's previous life, Martino later went directly to Barcelona.

But it was in Barcelona that Martino was almost scolded to death by the fans.

Do you know what the fans say about him?

This guy's tactics are dead simple, just pass the ball and let the short guys in Barcelona compete for the header.

What is this called?

This is called using one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

Of course Bielsa didn’t know what happened in Yang Huan’s previous life, he thought Yang Huan was talking about Paraguay.

This weak team in South America has never been well-known, but under the leadership of Martino, it has risen to prominence, relying on its defense.

"In the past two years, Newell's Old Boys has only been in the middle and lower reaches of the Argentine Primera Division, and the lineup is also average, which tests the coach's ability."

Yang Huan nodded continuously. It is impossible to compare whether it is easier to lead a weak team to rise or to lead a powerful team to continue its glory, because each has its own difficulties.

It is certain that weak teams have no resources and wealthy teams have many conflicts.

"I agree with Martino's approach. First stabilize the defense, so Newell's Old Boys is the best defensive team in the Argentine Primera Division. Then slowly improve the offense. I have confidence in Martino."

Yang Huan then remembered something.

I heard that the reason why Barcelona in the previous life chose Martino was because Newell's Old Boys' offense was very delicate and smooth.

It seemed to be the team with the best and most gorgeous offense and the most solid and outstanding defense in the Argentine Primera Division at that time.

If that's true, Martino is really a talent.

As for Martino's failure as coach of Barcelona, ​​this is also normal.

After all, given the situation in Barcelona at the time, anyone who came would be in trouble.

"Old Berlusconi, you praised Martino like a flower, would he be willing to coach a French Ligue 2 team?"

Yang Huan thinks this is also a big problem.

After all, Martino is a famous coach. Why would he be willing to settle for the French Ligue 2?

Bielsa smiled and said, "He has always wanted to develop in Europe. I will have a good talk with him."

South American coaches, like players, have always had a natural yearning for European professional football.

After all, this is the palace.

For example, Pellegrini also came from the Argentine Primera Division. His first stop in Europe was Villarreal in La Liga. But you have to know that Villarreal was a real underdog in La Liga at that time and its goal was to avoid relegation.

But it was during these years at Villarreal that Pellegrini firmly established himself in the mainstream European leagues.

Sometimes, the head coach, like the players, has to proceed step by step and cannot achieve everything all at once.

Often those who succeed overnight and go straight to a wealthy family do not have a good ending.

Yang Huan saw how much Bielsa praised Martino, and recalled some of his memories from his previous life.

If a wealthy club like Barcelona is interested in it, why can't Monaco be interested in it?

So, he immediately made the decision to Bielsa and chose Martino.

London ec headquarters.

Barbara Wright knocked on Roger Moses' office door.

A voice came from inside, "Come in"

Barbara Wright opened the door and went in, only to see her immediate boss sitting on the desk with his legs crossed in a very ungraceful manner, half lying down and playing games on his mobile phone.

Needless to say, it must be Tiantian Feiche, which was just launched by WeChat.

This game was launched not long ago, but it has already become extremely popular, attracting countless WeChat users to show off their scores in their Moments, which makes Barbara Wright very annoyed.

As a last resort, I started playing myself

"Roger..." Barbara Wright stepped forward.

"Wait, let me finish this game first."

While speaking, Roger Moses still stared at the screen of his mobile phone.

"Hey, I just bought the successor to Aston Martin, it's so cool"

Barbara Wright smiled bitterly and said, "You have to charge for that, okay?"

Needless to say, my boss has become a paying player of WeChat company.

Otherwise, how could you afford this car?

No wonder Roger Moses said yesterday that if you can't afford it in real life, just buy it in the game to satisfy your craving.

That's what he meant.

Barbara Wright stood aside and waited for a few minutes before she saw Roger Moses exhale and stand up.

"What's up?"

The moment he turned off his phone, Roger Moses returned to his usual smart and practiced self.

This made Barbara Wright wonder if she had seen it wrong just now.

"Look at this," Barbara Wright handed over a beautifully crafted invitation.

Roger Moses was a little surprised, so he took it and opened it to take a look.

A hgo with a very novel design appeared in front of him, which made his eyes light up.

This hgo is something I have never seen before, and its shape is a bit like a football.

"Etihad International Champions Cup?" Roger Moses was surprised.

As early as the end of last season, there were reports within the football community that someone was organizing a North American cup competition called the International Champions Cup.

Later, the other party established an official website, as well as WeChat and Weibo, and constantly announced the latest news and developments on the Internet.

Especially later, as teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, and Manchester City joined this cup competition one after another, the International Champions Cup received widespread attention from the outside world.

"They got a title sponsor?" This was what really surprised Roger Moses.

You know, it's not easy for an event to attract a title sponsor.

But now it seems that the organizers of the International Champions Cup are still very resourceful, and they have even attracted wealthy people from the Middle East to sponsor it.

Barbara Wright nodded and said, "I heard that the sponsorship fee is not low."

Roger Moses continued to read and found that the invitation letter was inviting EC TV sports reporters to go to Miami to participate in the cup draw and schedule ceremony, and the theme song of the International Champions Cup would also be announced.

"There's a theme song?" Roger Moses found it a little funny.

Isn't this just like the World Cup?

"I heard that this is very popular in the United States," Barbara Wright said with a wry smile.

Roger Moses thought it was right. Having a theme song would be more conducive to the promotion of the event.

"Also, I heard that the singer of this theme song is Lin Yuna."

"Is it her?" Roger Moses was surprised again.

It seems that the organizers of the event are putting a lot of effort into promoting it, even attracting Yoona.

You know, although Yoona has only been popular for two years, she is already very popular in Europe, America and Asia and has countless fans.

"The eight teams currently participating are Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Southampton and Juventus, with the Premier League accounting for half of them."

Roger Moses smiled after hearing this, "It seems that some of the rumors are true. This event should have been planned by Yang Huan."

“I heard that,” Barbara Wright laughed.

Some things don't happen out of thin air.

Besides, since it is the Champions League for top teams, isn’t it a bit too much for Southampton to participate?

But it is undeniable that the Saints still have a very high influence in the minds of young American fans, ranking third, and their development momentum is still very strong.

"I heard that British Telecom is interested in broadcasting this event."

Barbara Wright said this, and Roger Moses was surprised again.

British Telecom has indeed been snatching up valuable programs and resources in recent years, but they have set their sights on the International Champions Cup?

Kind of interesting

It seems that the so-called lottery ceremony is not just about drawing lots, but also looks a bit like an investment promotion conference.

"Go, inform the production team that news about the International Champions Cup and the European Youth Champions League will be given priority coverage in the future."

Roger Moses laughed.

Yang Huan, ah, Yang Huan, I have fulfilled my promise, right?
