Chapter 580: Buying People Until You Are Tired

"Wooooooooo, hooray!"

“Haha, great!”

"Arsenal is awesome, I support you in your fight for the top four!"

When Philip Dodd's clear whistle was heard on TV, a burst of howling cries immediately came out in the administrative office of the Calderon Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

On Sky TV's live broadcast interface, time stopped and the score was locked.

1-1, Arsenal finally drew with Manchester United at their home ground!

Although Ferguson made substitutions in succession at the last moment and asked Manchester United players to launch a large-scale attack, they were ultimately unable to break through Arsenal's goal and were forced to leave the Emirates Stadium with a score of 1-1.

As a result, after the 35th round of the Premier League, Southampton won and Manchester United drew.

The points gap between the two teams quickly narrowed from five points to three points!

The moment Yang Huan heard the whistle at the end of the game, he was very excited. He stood up and cheered loudly. He was very excited for Arsenal's draw.

Three points! With three rounds left in the league, we are only three points behind, so there is still hope!

Especially considering that Manchester United will play against Chelsea next!

“Although Chelsea got three points in this round and Arsenal was tied by Manchester United, the Blues’ position in the top four of the league is not solid. If they are not careful, they may fall out of the top four again!”

"So, in the next round at Old Trafford, Benítez will definitely fight hard with Manchester United!"

Soriano seemed to be infected by Yang Huan and felt a little excited.

If they really win the championship, it will be the first English top league championship trophy in Southampton's more than 100-year history. How can we not be excited?

Master Huan has invested in Southampton for three years. Isn't it just for the pursuit of a league title?

Begiristain also kept nodding his head, "Chelsea's situation is not optimistic either. There is no reason not to fight Manchester United to the death!"

Although Arsenal drew in this round, Tottenham Hotspur won, and Chelsea's top four position in the league is not secure.

Besides, with Chelsea's current lead, it is not certain that they can maintain their top four position in the league.

Therefore, there is no reason for Chelsea not to do their best.

Yang Huan chuckled, "With Benítez's coaching ability and Chelsea's strength, I think the next round at Old Trafford will at least be a draw!"

Everyone felt that a draw was a very reasonable score.

In fact, if Chelsea had played better, it would have been possible for them to win.

As long as Chelsea wins, Southampton will be able to complete the reversal and top the Premier League standings.

Even if it is a draw, Southampton is only one point behind Manchester United, and the hope of a reversal has greatly increased!

Whenever he thought of this, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

Championship, the Premier League championship, he has been dreaming about it for three years!

But Yang Huan quickly calmed down, looked at Soriano and Begiristain, and nodded continuously.

"This season, Atletico Madrid has performed very well and still maintains its position as the league leader with a slight advantage. Very good, very good!"

Soriano, Begiristain and others were all excited to receive the praise from Master Huan.

"Master Huan, in fact, it is you who have made the greatest contribution here!"

"Me?" Yang Huan was a little amused.

He felt that Soriano had begun to learn how to flatter!

But it was a fun shoot!

"Yes, Master Huan, the team strengthened its midfield during the winter break. The new players Koke and Krasi have made great contributions to the team, especially Koke, who has become the team's midfield pillar!"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan actually felt a little emotional.

Originally, he planned to bring Koke from Atletico Madrid, but the Spanish midfielder did not perform very well in Southampton and gave people a feeling of being unable to adapt. But as soon as he returned to Atletico Madrid, this guy seemed to be flying.

Throughout the second half of the season, Koke performed very well and became the core midfielder of Atletico Madrid.

More importantly, he is very comprehensive and can play as a central midfielder or on the wing.

There is also Krasi, the player known as Little Davis. After joining the team, his performance was once sluggish, but after he adapted to the team, his performance improved greatly, at least he lived up to his higher value.

The whole team is also very much looking forward to Krassi, after all, this is only the Dutchman's first season.

But it is precisely because of the outstanding performances of players such as Krassi and Koke, as well as Illarramendi, Gabi and Moutinho in the team, that the appearances of players such as Mario Suarez, Raul Garcia and Adrian have been greatly affected.

Yang Huan also felt helpless about this.

If the team wants to improve its strength and introduce players of higher level, it will naturally eliminate some players who cannot keep up with the team.

This is almost a necessity!

But in the eyes of Soriano, Begiristain and others, Master Huan is simply a god!

With the support of Southampton's big data analysis system, Atletico Madrid has almost never failed in its transfers.

Not only Atletico Madrid, but also Southampton and Monaco, almost every transfer and signing was successful!

This has already attracted considerable attention in the world of football!

Just when several people were thinking about their own things, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!"

Following Soriano's shout, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone and his assistant Boggs walked into the office one after another.

As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Yang Huan and Long Wu, who was sitting in the corner of the entrance, staring at his mobile phone.

"Master Huan!"

"Well, sit down!" Yang Huan nodded and smiled.

His main purpose for coming to Spain this time was to watch the game between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid at home tonight.

This is related to the battle for the La Liga championship this season.

Barcelona drew 2-2 with Athletic Bilbao in this round away from home. If Atletico Madrid beats Real Madrid, it means that the Colchoneros' lead will be expanded.

With only five rounds left in La Liga, the possibility of winning the championship will greatly increase.

"What is the current situation of the team?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

"Very good!" Simeone replied, "The atmosphere in the team is quite good. Everyone has only one thing in mind, and that is the league championship!"

Are you kidding? Yang Huan offered a huge prize for winning the championship. Who wouldn’t want to fight for it?

Even those players who are complaining about not getting a chance to play have to endure it now.

If we really start making trouble at this time, we won’t win the championship and the sky-high prize money will be wasted. Let’s see who will be unlucky!

Yang Huan nodded. He still trusted Simeone quite a lot.

This Argentine is just like his teacher Bielsa. In addition to his outstanding coaching achievements, he is also good at training young players. This season, Atletico Madrid's young players including Saul and Oliver Torres have also received a lot of training in the game and focused cultivation.

This is also what Yang Huan is most satisfied with Simeone.

Although Atletico Madrid's current style of play is quite rough and aggressive, in fact, Simeone has been seeking transformation.

Saul, Oliver Torres and others are all technical players, especially Oliver Torres, who can be regarded as a genius among the young generation of Spanish players and is also the future midfield core that the Colchoneros are most looking forward to.

Although Atletico Madrid has performed very well this season, both Yang Huan, Soriano and Simeone have very rational analysis of the team's current situation and lineup configuration.

That is, if players like Miranda, Gabi, Mario Suarez, Adrian, Raul Garcia and others occasionally break out for one or two seasons and play like top stars, the team will be able to compete with the Spanish Super League duo of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But it is simply impossible for them to maintain this state and strength for a long time!

After all, this season's performance is their peak state.

Since it is the peak, how long can it last? This is a question!

Therefore, the future of Atletico Madrid lies in Koke, Courtois, and the younger generation of players such as Crassi, Felipe Anderson, Illarramendi, Otamendi, Crassi, Griezmann, Diego Costa, etc.

Now, Atletico Madrid's recruitment is obviously no longer about practicality, but about pursuing young players with the potential to become first-class or even top stars, and cultivating them after bringing them into the team.

When this group of young players grow up, they will gradually replace the older generation of players such as Godin and Gabi.

By that time, Atletico Madrid will truly have the strength to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona!

"Diego, tell me what you think about the summer transfer process!" Yang Huan asked.

It's already the end of April, and we must make plans for the summer transfer window.

"I have talked to Ferran and Tesiki. No matter what the final result of the team is this season, we have to deal with the Champions League next season. If the team's finances allow, I hope to continue to strengthen the team!"

Simeone's so-called strengthening of the team's strength includes two ways. One is to introduce players to fill the weaknesses and deficiencies in the team's lineup configuration. The other is to sell players who he thinks are not up to his requirements and introduce players he likes.

Yang Huan looked at Soriano, who nodded. "The team's finances are good at the moment, especially after entering the Champions League next season, the team's revenue will increase significantly."

"Well, that's no problem!" Yang Huan made the decision on the spot.

Simeone immediately laughed. It’s so cool to follow a rich boss. You can buy players until you are tired of it!

"Master Huan, these are the players I asked the scouts and data analysis team to examine. Take a look!"

As soon as Simeone finished speaking, Boggs immediately took out a document and handed it to Yang Huan respectfully.

Yang Huan knew that the recognition from the scout team and the data analysis team proved that these players were all strong and at least their level met the requirements of Atletico Madrid.

According to the general policy of rejuvenating the team, the players Simeone wants to bring in are generally born in the 1990s, a total of four players.

Among them, the oldest and the one ranked first is Ajax's main defender, Belgium's main international Alderweireld. Both the scout team and the data analysis team have given high praise to this player.

The Belgian has been the backbone of Ajax's defense in the past few seasons and has performed quite well. He is only 24 years old this year.

Ajax's current psychological price for Alderweireld is around 6 million euros.

For Atletico Madrid, which has performed well this season, such a transfer deal is stress-free.

Further down the list, there is another additional defender being recruited, but this time it is even more ruthless, as they directly signed a defender born in 1995.

In other words, I am only eighteen years old now.

Jose Jimenez plays for Danubio in the Uruguayan First Division. The Uruguayan central defender Godin is highly recommended.

Simeone arranged for scouts to observe the player and they spoke highly of him, saying that he had excellent physical condition, strong confrontation ability, excellent jumping ability, and was also very flexible, with a fast chasing speed and an excellent long pass from the backcourt.

The most important thing is that it is cheap, only one million euros.

For such a little sweet potato, Yang Huan felt that there was no reason not to take it!
