Chapter 773 I’m sorry I can’t keep you company!
Everyone who has been involved in professional football knows that if you want to achieve results, the team lineup must be well matched.
The three age groups of old, middle-aged and young should be combined.
Because the veterans have experience, the middle age group is in their prime, and the young people are energetic.
This combination is the easiest to achieve results.
But since everyone knows this, why don't all teams follow this policy?
In the final analysis, as Yang Huan once said, every team has different business philosophy and goals.
Some teams go for the purpose of results, some teams go for the purpose of training players, and some teams even just hope to successfully stay in the top league.
Different goals naturally lead to different routes.
For example, Arsenal, why does Wenger's team sell players once they are over 30?
Many people say it is a competitive state, but this is just the surface.
The real core reason is that once a player is over 30 years old, his overall value begins to decline.
Therefore, from the club's point of view, it is best to sell the players for cash before the age of 30, especially when they are in their twenties, when their value is the highest.
It is this pragmatic transfer operation strategy that has enabled Arsenal to always strive for the top four and reach the round of 16 of the Champions League every year for a long period of time.
Today, Arsenal's finances have improved significantly, but the management has lost its enterprising spirit.
If it weren't for the strong rise of Manchester City, Southampton and now Tottenham Hotspur in the past two years, Arsenal would probably continue to stick to its past transfer strategy.
It cannot be said that Yang Huan has no hope at all for Atletico Madrid, especially after the team's outstanding performance in the past two seasons, which has made him see the potential of the Colchoneros.
If Atletico Madrid can be built into the third pole of La Liga capable of challenging Real Madrid and Barcelona, it will definitely be beneficial to Yang Huan with no harm.
But this requires the team to make appropriate adjustments in transfer operations.
For example, in the defense, Juanfran, Miranda and Felipe can all be sold.
Because they are approaching thirty years old, no one knows how long they can maintain this form after two consecutive seasons of outstanding performance.
More importantly, what Atletico Madrid needs now is a plan for the next five years, but they obviously do not meet the requirements of the team's five-year plan, so it is normal to sell them.
The same situation applies to midfield.
"Captain Gabi must stay. He is the cornerstone of the team's midfield. At the same time, Simeone and I both hope that he can lead this group of young teammates and continue to play his role. Therefore, he cannot leave!"
"But Mario Suarez and Raul Garcia can both leave the team!"
Illarramendi, Isco and Koke are Atletico Madrid's midfield iron triangle and the hope of the Colchoneros for the next decade, so they must stay.
But the positions of Mario Suarez and Raul Garcia in the team are rather awkward, especially with the emergence of players such as Krychowiak, Krassi, Saul, Oliver Torres, they have gradually lost their positions.
In this case, any rational person would definitely choose the latter players.
Because they are not only young, but also have greater potential.
Just like Krychowiak, he is good at defense, but is he just good at defense?
Poland's midfield is capable of both offense and defense and has almost no weaknesses, which would be a great help to any team.
Moreover, he is only 24 years old and still has considerable potential to be tapped.
Saul and Oliver Torres are both youth players of Atletico Madrid and also have great potential.
After hearing this, Begiristain immediately understood what Yang Huan meant.
Master Huan is going to increase the efforts to train players like Saul and Oliver Torres!
If this is the case in the midfield, what about the frontcourt?
"Master Huan, I think Tevez must not be moved in the frontcourt. He is a vital player in our frontcourt now. Without him, our offense will definitely be hit hard."
"Yes, that's right!" Yang Huan nodded. "Torres is the flag of the team, so he must stay. Diego Cos and Griezmann also fit the team's current strategy, so we must do our best to keep them. No matter how much money is offered, we will not sell them!"
When Begiristain heard this, he suddenly understood.
"Then there are only Turan, Adrian and Vietto left, and Angel Correa is a talent from the team's youth training and is not for sale!"
Angel Correa, a talented player known as the new Aguero, can he be sold?
Unless Yang Huan got kicked in the head by a donkey!
"Barcelona has made an offer for Turan, but we rely heavily on his skills and ability to get the ball in the frontcourt. If we sell him, our offensive means in the frontcourt will be weakened a lot!"
After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled slightly and asked, "How much is Barcelona willing to pay?"
When Barcelona was rich, it recruited top talents, such as Neymar, or Hazard who is now in Southampton.
But everyone knows that players of this type are extremely expensive nowadays, easily worth over 100 million yuan.
Therefore, a more pragmatic strategy is to dig out Turan.
Firstly, this player has exquisite skills and excellent defense, and is a player who can excel in both offense and defense. Secondly, he is familiar with the La Liga and can fight as soon as he arrives.
Begiristain laughed after hearing this, "What do you think, Master Huan?"
"Am I asking you, or are you asking me?" Yang Huan scolded with a smile.
He seriously suspected that these bastards under him all regarded him as a black-hearted thief boss.
Am I that dark?
But after laughing, Yang Huan thought for a moment, "Based on the current market price, the starting price is 30 million, no discount, pay in cash, buy if you want, otherwise get lost, I'm sorry I won't accompany you!"
Begiristain felt so sour in his heart. Look at what Young Master Huan said, how powerful and domineering it was.
But we have to admit that players like Turan are indeed worth such a price.
The main reason is that he has performed too well when rotating with the trident many times this season.
In addition, during the Champions League, at many critical moments when the team encountered difficulties in offense, Turan came on and immediately the situation became clear. This allowed Turan to shine and become famous.
"But, Master Huan, how can we replenish the lineup after selling Turan and Adrian?"
After hearing this, Yang Huan burst out laughing.
"I say, Tesiki, your young master, I don't have anything else now, but I have a lot of players!"
Begiristain was stunned. What does that mean?
But soon, he realized it immediately, didn't he?
Didn’t Master Huan just sign a few Brazilian players from Shakhtar Donetsk?
Speaking of the group of young players from Shakhtar Donetsk, each one of them is really outstanding.
And Young Master Huan was also very courageous, he actually bought them all in one go. Otherwise, how could he have introduced them at such a low price?
"Alex Teixeira, this Brazilian player should be able to fill the vacancy left by Turan, right?"
Begiristain nodded hurriedly, "Yes, absolutely!"
Just kidding, judging from Shakhtar Donetsk's performance in the Champions League, Alex Teixeira is not only very strong individually, but is also very comprehensive in the entire midfield and frontcourt.
Such players are in short supply in every team!
Begiristain outlined it in his mind and suddenly felt that after introducing Alex Teixeira in the midfield and frontcourt and keeping the forward line still, Atletico Madrid's overall offensive capability would not fluctuate much.
The only major hidden danger is the defense, but on the defense line, Otamendi and Godin are old partners, Montoya and Jose Gaya have also been in the team for a long time, there is no problem with their adaptability, and their abilities are trustworthy.
From this point of view, Atletico Madrid's overall strength will not decline much compared with the past two seasons.
But the team’s average age is younger and their potential is greater. With another two or three years of accumulation, their future will be limitless!
This is not the point. The point is, how much cash can Atletico Madrid get after this operation?
Preliminary estimates put the amount at at least over 100 million euros.
And this money is undoubtedly crucial for Atletico Madrid.
Because the new stadium and training base require funds
As professional managers, he and Soriano are both people with professional ethics. They both know very well that a mature and healthy team should not always rely on the owner's investment. That is not a long-term solution.
Even if your boss is a gold miner, there will always be a day when all the gold and silver will be emptied.
Therefore, as is the case now, it is undoubtedly the most ideal thing to obtain a huge amount of cash through transfer operations, invest in club construction, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the team.
Of course, being able to operate to this extent is also thanks to Young Master Huan!
Begiristain was filled with amazement and excitement.
In his opinion, the resources held by Young Master Huan were too tempting.
With such abundant resources as a backing, if Atletico Madrid cannot rise quickly, he and Soriano will probably have to resign!
While Begiristain was marveling in his heart, Yang Huan was thinking about another thing, that is, the benefits brought by his football league were becoming more and more obvious.
Klopp wanted to arrange a speed killer for Inter Milan, and Aubameyang immediately came into his own.
Southampton wanted to transform its forward line, and after selling Ibrahimovic and Drogba, they immediately got Harry Kane and Martial.
As for Hamburg, Yang Huan has already decided that Douglas Costa will also be loaned to Hamburg.
As for other players such as Bernard and Fernando, they were arranged to go to other teams such as Ajax to receive game training.
After this arrangement, the strength of each team has been improved to a certain extent.
With time, when this group of young players have proven their worth, it will be time for a big harvest!
Thinking of this, Yang Huan's mood became very good, just like the bright sunshine outside.
"Teshiki, I have basically arranged everything here, so I'll leave it to you to take charge!"
After hearing this, Begiristain immediately nodded in agreement.
"As for me, I have to take advantage of these few days to have a good rest. There are so many beautiful sights and beauties in Portugal, I have to go see them!"
Begiristain laughed when he heard this. Master Huan just liked to exaggerate.
"Master Huan, you can go ahead. I will take care of things here!"
Yang Huan nodded, but suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Tesiki, Zhao Yuanfang will come to Portugal tomorrow. Please help me take a look at him. If he needs anything, you can provide assistance."
Zhao Yuanfang?
Begiristain was a little surprised, of course he knew this person.
The investment expert beside Master Huan!
What was he doing in Portugal?
Could it be that Master Huan is going to acquire a team in the Portuguese Super League?
It is definitely possible!
You know, it was Zhao Yuanfang who bought several other teams for Young Master Huan, so there is no guarantee that it will be the same this time.
Besides, the Portuguese Super League team is not worth anything at all now. For Master Huan, he can buy it with just a wave of his hand.
The most important thing is that Master Huan has the resources, so it would be very easy for him to support a Portuguese Super League team.
As the technical director of Atletico Madrid, Begiristain is also very excited.
The reason is simple: the Portuguese Super League has always been the arsenal of La Liga.
If Young Master Huan bought a team in the Portuguese Super League, wouldn't that be providing Atletico Madrid with an additional training ground?
