Chapter 946 Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly
With a relaxed smile, Yang Huan walked out of Qatar comfortably.
Prime Minister Hamad asked his son to see Young Master Huan off on his behalf, so the Middle Eastern prince looked at Young Master Huan with a bit of awe, but mostly admiration.
Since he was a child, the person he feared the most was his father, the Prime Minister, but Master Huan suppressed his father again and again.
In Hamad's eyes, this is the momentum that his boss should have.
Therefore, he now admires Master Huan even more.
As for money, what does money mean to the highest nobility in a country that digs gold from the ground?
";Go to Crescent Bay!";
As soon as Yang Huan got into the car, he shouted to the driver in front of him, and then remained silent.
Qataris are smart, but Master Huan is not stupid either.
Just now, Prime Minister Hamad reached an agreement with him for 1.5 billion euros and 10% of the shares.
Moreover, the Qatar Investment Authority can only hold shares but has no decision-making power.
Yang Huan was not surprised by this result, because Qatar never paid much attention to how much money they had to pay, they only cared about whether they could get what they wanted.
Speaking of tycoons, they are the richest in the world!
All Yang Huan needs to do is to fully support and cooperate with Qatar to secure the right to host the World Cup.
This was not a big deal for Young Master Huan, at most it was just a matter of talking.
If he really wanted to give benefits to certain people, there was no need for him, Young Master Huan, to do anything. He could just pass on a message and let them figure it out on their own. Only a fool would get caught up in it.
Originally, Prime Minister Hamad also proposed that Qatar could be arranged to participate in the National Champions League.
As a result, he was fucked back by Yang Huan.
Nimei, what role does Qatar play?
Not to mention in the world football, even in the Asian football, Qatar is not a big player. If you are really allowed to participate in the International Champions League, will this newly established league still have value and appeal?
"Hamad." Yang Huan suddenly remembered something.
When the little prince from the Middle East heard this, he immediately nodded respectfully and politely and said, "Master Huan."
";The Northumberland plan has to be accelerated!"; Yang Huan smiled slightly, ";You just saw that your father is not satisfied with the progress of the plan. Now the football power in Europe is being redrawn. The sooner we gain a foothold, the better. Do you understand what I mean?";
Hamad is not stupid, of course he understands.
European football is entering a new era of division among different factions, especially in this year's Champions League.
Southampton's successful title defense not only shows that the Saints are the strongest team in Europe in the past two seasons, but also shows the strong rise of capital football and that it has begun to dominate European football.
Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid... These three teams that performed well in the Champions League have just changed hands and can be regarded as capital football.
It is also worth mentioning that this season, Inter Milan of Serie A and Hamburg of Bundesliga have both entered the Champions League. Together with Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams, the power structure of European football has been re-divided.
This is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for many newly rising teams.
Either you seize the opportunity, gain a firm foothold, and consolidate your position as a powerful company, or you will be eliminated by the tide.
Of course, there is another approach that is similar to what Southampton did before.
That is to take steady steps and accumulate slowly.
However, the reason why the saints chose to take this path was because they had no choice.
After all, the Saints were only a third-tier team in England at the time, so even if they wanted to rise strongly, there was no way to do so.
Now, other teams, including Valencia and Leicester City, are trying to reduce their investment.
There is no doubt that although Tottenham Hotspur is privately owned by Prime Minister Hamad, he certainly hopes that the North London team can rise, seize opportunities, and establish its position as a Premier League and even European powerhouse.
";Master Huan, the first phase of the Northumberland project has been initially completed. It is expected that the new stadium and a series of supporting commercial facilities around it will be put into use in 2016. As for the surrounding areas, it will take some time.";
Yang Huan also often goes to North London, so he is quite familiar with it.
";Hurry up and apply for the right to host the Champions League final as soon as the new stadium is completed. I will help you.";
The right to host a Champions League final is not only beneficial to the club, but also to the surrounding area, the city, and even the entire country.
In recent years, there has been a subtle sign that the Champions League finals are usually held in big cities in order to maximize commercial benefits. Therefore, big cities like London, Paris, Milan and Madrid have more and more opportunities.
If Tottenham Hotspur can bid for a Champions League final, the team will become famous.
With Master Yi Huan's current status and influence in European football, if he says he wants to help, then it's a sure thing.
At most it's just a matter of time.
Of course, this is also partly because Young Master Huan holds shares in Tottenham Hotspur.
If it weren't for this share, Master Huan probably wouldn't bother to take care of this trivial matter.
"Master Huan, there is something I still need your help with." Hamad smiled.
"What's going on?" Yang Huan had a bad feeling.
";Aren't you planning to sell Matic?";
"Ah?" Yang Huan exclaimed in his heart. It is indeed so.
Damn it! They've already poached Blind and Alderweireld from me, and now they want to poach Matic?
I am so fucked!
";Hey, Hamad, can you stop staring at me while I dig?"; Yang Huan was a little depressed;.
Although my players are of high quality, I feel bad about your poaching.
";Hey, Van Gaal said that anything produced by Saints must be high-quality!";
"I must be Nimei, tell him to get out of here!" Yang Huan started to rant.
"No, Master Huan, if you don't plan to sell, then we won't buy it. But since you have already planned to sell it, why not give it to others instead of giving it to our own people?"
";But don't you have Schneiderlin, Wanyama and Schweinsteiger?";
Hamad laughed, "Schneiderlin and Wanyama are still a little bit lacking, and Van Gaal thinks that with Matic here, he can play as a single defensive midfielder and release Schweinsteiger."
Yang Huan finally understood.
It really is true that the butt determines the head.
When Tottenham Hotspur was just starting out, Schneiderlin and Wanyama were a young and practical double defensive midfielder combination, so they were trusted by Van Gaal and were given important positions.
But now, with the arrival of Schweinsteiger and the push of Matic into the transfer market, Van Gaal's ambitions have grown, especially considering that Tottenham Hotspur will play in the Champions League in the new season.
In this situation, Van Gaal wants to bring in Matic to play as a single defensive midfielder, and with Schweinsteiger and Eriksen, the overall strength of Tottenham's midfield will be taken to a new level.
Thinking of this, Yang Huan immediately looked at Hamad with ill intentions.
";If I'm not mistaken, Van Gaal should want to bring in another midfielder, right?";
Eriksson alone can't sustain a season.
Schneiderlin is a little better, but Wanyama may not meet Van Gaal's requirements for transforming the team's midfield.
Well, Wanyama is a good player with great potential, it would be a shame to let him go.
"Hey, how did you know?" Hamad asked with a smile.
"Tsk, when old Van Gaal moves his butt, I know what he is going to say!" Yang Huan laughed and cursed.
Hamad laughed, "Van Gaal said that the most ideal candidate is Pogba..."
"Hmm?" Yang Huan's eyes widened. Nimei, your ambition is getting bigger and bigger. You even want to poach our Saint Prince?
";...Hehe, but the Saints will definitely not let him go, not even Oscar.";
Yang Huan nodded, that's natural.
"So, he hopes to bring in Krassi from Hamburg." After a pause, as if he was afraid that Yang Huan might misunderstand, Hamad immediately explained: "Master Huan, you know, Krassi was Van Gaal's favorite player when he was in the Dutch national team, so..."
Yang Huan was not surprised by this.
Van Gaal has repeatedly spoken highly of Krasny's performance in the Bundesliga and La Liga during interviews.
From Yang Huan's point of view, Matic had already planned to sell him, and as for Krassi, it was not impossible to sell him.
Tuchel's transformation of Hamburg has always been quite clear, that is, he tends to control the ball like Guardiola and actively seize the initiative of the game, so in terms of recruiting players, Hamburg is also working in this direction.
Why would the team be willing to sell Abubakar?
It is because he conflicts with Tuchel's ideas.
After Yang Huan decided to sell Abubakar to Manchester City, he brought in Manchester City striker Dzeko, which was precisely to strengthen the control of the front court. Dzeko's characteristics are not possessed by Abubakar.
The same goes for midfield.
Krassi's characteristics determine that he cannot meet Tuchel's requirements for central defenders. In fact, to some extent, Krassi is not as good as Badelj, who is more in line with Tuchel's tactics.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he can't be used, but if there is a better choice, Tuchel is willing to let him go.
For example, Tuchel is actively operating Mainz's midfielder, Geis, who he promoted in the past.
Tuchel's intention is also very clear. German players such as Geisweiger, Gaudino, Hojbjerg and Kimmich are the ones he wants to focus on cultivating. With the help of Badli Thorgan Hazard, Hamburg's midfield will be formed.
Such a midfield configuration of post-90s players is still very competitive in the Bundesliga for the time being.
Geis and Weigl are already Bundesliga quasi-first-tier, or even first-tier midfielders, and Hojbjerg and Kimmich have also been given many training opportunities and have achieved success quickly.
In addition, Yang Huan and Hamburg management are also considering that the team will be able to obtain a large amount of transfer income after exchanging Aboubakar for Dzeko, and the team's right back Dickmayer has also been poached by Dortmund.
Therefore, the focus of Hamburg's summer transfer operation this year is to introduce a first-tier midfielder in the Bundesliga and even Europe, a right back, and an experienced central defender.
In addition, the team must do its best to keep Douglas Costa and Kingsley Coman.
As early as half a year ago, the contract renewals of these two players had already begun. Douglas Costa's agent is Joorabchian, so the renewal is relatively easy and has already been completed.
Signed a new contract and announced that he would stay with the team.
As for Kingsley Coman, contract extension talks are still ongoing, but it's not a big problem.
There is no way, if he doesn't renew the contract quickly, Bayern Munich will be watching him closely.
It was precisely because of this comprehensive consideration that Yang Huan thought about it and agreed to Hamad's transfer request for Matic and Krassi.
However, brothers should settle accounts clearly, Hamad had to let Daniel Levy negotiate with Ron Gourlay and Thomas Lake, and Yang Huan required that Schneiderlin and Wanyama must be included in the transfer plan.
This double defensive midfielder combination is not enough for Tottenham Hotspur, but it may not be the case for other teams.
Matic is currently worth 40 million pounds. If any team wants to get him, it will cost a lot of money.
As for Crassi, his value is also around 25 million euros.
