Chapter 726 This guy is amazing!

"Master Huan, I am very, very serious!"

Florentino seemed afraid that Yang Huan would not believe it, so he repeated it again with a serious and solemn face.

For a man of his status, repeating it a second time was in itself proof of how seriously he took the matter.

Yang Huan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that just one goal would make Florentino target Suarez.

Isn't it true that love at first sight came too quickly?

But Master Huan couldn't help but look gloomy, staring at Florentino very seriously, and answered almost word by word: "Florentino, I know you are very serious, but Suarez is not for sale!"

Are you kidding? They worked so hard to poach Suarez from Liverpool and finally put together a strong attacking lineup. If they just sell Suarez, needless to say, Bielsa will announce his resignation on the spot.

Because now that Ibrahimovic and Drogba have both decided to leave the team, who will replace Suarez?

There is no one in the team. Looking at the entire European football, who is capable of replacing Suarez?

After Lewandowski announced his transfer to Bayern Munich, even if Southampton received a large transfer fee, it would be almost impossible to find a player who could replace Suarez.

Because this Uruguayan striker is so comprehensive, and he is not the kind of comprehensive but mediocre.

It can almost be said that Suarez's abilities as a striker are quite comprehensive and top-notch.

It is impossible for Southampton to let go of such a player easily.

In fact, Florentino was mentally prepared for Yang Huan's answer.

The media has been rumouring that Ibrahimovic and Drogba will leave the team after the end of this season, and Suarez will take their place as the Saints' number one centre-forward, shouldering the heavy responsibility of capturing the city.

Given Suarez's outstanding performance in the Premier League this season, it would be strange if the Saints were willing to let him go.

But even so, Florentino was still disappointed. "Master Huan, I respect your decision, but if you change your mind at any time, feel free to call me and the transfer fee can be negotiated."

"Okay, sure!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

When it comes to wealth and power, there are really few teams in today's European football that can be like Real Madrid.

Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain are also wealthy teams, but these two teams do not yet have the ability to operate top superstars, especially those in their prime years.

Because after bringing in such a superstar, it is not as simple as just paying the salary, but also a whole set of operations must be considered.

At the very least, before you sign a superstar, you have to give him a promise to ensure that his value will not depreciate, right?

Looking at today's football, Real Madrid has the most experience in this regard.

Seeing that he could not reach an agreement with Suarez, Florentino immediately shifted his gaze to the back.

This Southampton is really full of treasures.

There is no need to mention Suarez. After Neymar and Gareth Bale left, Hazard and Sturridge emerged, and Sanchez was introduced. The strength of the entire front two wings has not declined at all.

As for the midfield, Vidal left and was replaced by James Rodriguez.

This Colombian midfielder has delicate skills and looks like an artist, but surprisingly, his contribution on the defensive end is also quite great. Bielsa's treatment of him is much like Ancelotti's transformation of Di Maria.

But what is really mouth-watering is the pair of defensive midfielders!

With Southampton's strong rise in the Premier League last season and successful summit, and leading the Premier League standings again this season, the double defensive midfielder combination of Modric and Toni Kroos has made great contributions and is praised by countless fans as the most creative, organized and controlled double defensive midfielder combination in today's football.

Although both of them are technical players, their defensive abilities are not bad at all, especially Modric, whose fighting ability is amazing, and his value is naturally rising.

On the other hand, although Xabi Alonso of Real Madrid is in good shape, he is not young anymore, and it is indeed time to consider introducing a successor.

So, if we can pack up Southampton's double defensive midfielder, then...

The picture is so beautiful that it is hard to bear to look at it!

When Yang Huan saw the smile on Florentino's face, he thought to himself, this guy is fantasizing about some player in our team again, what a bastard!

But Real Madrid is an irresistible temptation for all professional players.

To be honest, if Real Madrid really wants to poach players by force, Southampton will not be able to keep them.

Of course, Florentino is a nice person and has a good relationship with Yang Huan, so Real Madrid's recruitment has always been open and aboveboard, and they will not use some despicable means to forcibly poach players.

Because Real Madrid is unwilling to do such a one-time deal.

"Florentino, have you ever considered adjusting the business model of Real Madrid?"

Yang Huan asked with some surprise.

Real Madrid's current business model is high exposure and high attention, and among them, summer signings are a very important part, so almost every summer, regardless of whether the team needs it or not, Real Madrid will complete several major transfers.

But this can easily lead to another result, which is to deal with the team's redundancy.

For example, in order to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema, Sneijder and Robben had to be sold. On the one hand, the problem of redundancy was taken into consideration, but more importantly, the balance of fiscal revenue and expenditure was the issue.

Although it may sound a bit exaggerated, in the eyes of the club, players are just numbers.

This is true for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Therefore, Yang Huan said that by following these two super giants and picking up spoils, one can pick up a Champions League title anytime and anywhere, and this is not an exaggeration at all.

But the question is, how long can Real Madrid maintain this way of business?

In recent years, with the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, the global economic environment has been sluggish. The club's business should have been quite bleak, but countries began to print money on a large scale, and the club's financing costs decreased. As a result, the players' values ​​have skyrocketed again in recent years.

Super transfers like Gareth Bale and Vidal would be impossible under normal circumstances, but now they have become a reality.

Because now there are a lot of banks lining up to lend money to Real Madrid, and the interest rate is very low.

Let me ask, would a capital operation tycoon like Florentino miss such an opportunity?

But this isn’t a long-term solution after all, is it?

After hearing what Yang Huan said, Florentino first sighed meaningfully, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Master Huan, you don't understand the internal rules of our Real Madrid at all. I have to play this way, and I can only play this way, because only in this way can I continue to sit in this position."

At this point, Florentino narrowed his eyes and said, "When I change my business strategy, I will step down, and Real Madrid will lose its glory and will no longer be Real Madrid!"

Yang Huan was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he could vaguely understand the meaning.

Florentino himself, and even Real Madrid, have been kidnapped by the current management of the team.

In fact, let alone Florentino, didn’t his predecessor Sanz and his predecessor Mendoza also try desperately to introduce superstars?

It can be said that introducing the best players in the world has always been the goal of Real Madrid.

There’s no other way, it’s a membership system, and we have to do it this way to win votes!

But unlike previous presidents, during the Mendoza and Sanz periods, Real Madrid's signings relied more on debt, so when Florentino took over, Real Madrid was already heavily in debt and was almost kicked out of the Champions League by UEFA.

It can be said that it was in this situation that Florentino came to power and, through his own operational skills, sold the Sports City and paid off the team's debts in one fell swoop. At the same time, he introduced superstars such as Figo and Zidane, which greatly broadened the business direction of Real Madrid and improved the team's financial situation.

Perhaps among the fans, Florentino is the target of public criticism.

But in Yang Huan's opinion, for a team like Real Madrid, losing a figure like Florentino would be a disaster!

…

While Yang Huan and Florentino were chatting in the stands, sharing their experiences and insights on running the club, the game on the field was still going on.

After Southampton scored the first goal, they withstood Real Madrid's counterattack well and firmly controlled the situation.

But in the 40th minute, the situation suddenly changed.

A pass from the Saints midfield was successfully intercepted by Real Madrid midfielder Di Maria, who suddenly dribbled forward and launched a counterattack on the spot.

Moreover, Di Maria's counterattack speed was very fast. He intercepted the ball and then counterattacked with the ball on his own. There was almost no offense-defense transition in between. So even though Varane, Toni Kroos and other players reacted very quickly, Southampton was still caught off guard.

Finally, Di Maria dribbled the ball forward at high speed, attracted the attention of the defensive players, and passed the ball diagonally to the middle with his left foot. Cristiano Ronaldo followed up at high speed and shot low with his right foot, which penetrated Neuer's goal.

One to one!

Both sides are back on the same starting line!

This made the entire Bernabeu Stadium boil!

But it also made Yang Huan in the chairman's stand jump up from his seat and curse loudly, "Damn it!"

This goal came quite suddenly and was beyond everyone's expectations.

It is not surprising that Di Maria is quite active in defense, but few people would have thought that after he intercepted the ball, he could take care of the entire process from defense to offense and even to breaking into the opponent's 30-meter area by himself.

It’s a one-stop service, delivered to your door!

All the other teammates need to do is simple, just get the ball into the goal!

"This guy is amazing!" Yang Huan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Southampton also has this type of player in Modric and James Rodriguez, but these two players are good at controlling the ball. Although they can complete the transition from offense to defense on their own, they can't create threats like Di Maria after completing the transition from offense to defense.

This made Yang Huan couldn't help but think that his team now has many controlling players, but there is no player who can break through and explode. Hazard has passed through many times, but he tends to be an organizer, that is, the type of Messi.

Ravel Morrison and Sanchez are balanced players who have both organizational and explosiveness. They are good at both and have reached first-class level, but neither is the top.

But Di Maria's powerful attack this time was indeed eye-catching.

What is even more commendable is that this player has quite good footwork skills, at least several blocks ahead of Gareth Bale, which is perfectly in line with Bielsa's tactical requirements.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan immediately turned his head and looked at Florentino.

"Hey, Florentino, how much is Di Maria? I'll buy it!"

This time, Florentino was the one who was dumbfounded.

They say things change over time, but isn't this changing too quickly?
