Chapter 758: Unpredictable

Name:Football Giants Author:Chen Aiting
Don't look at Master Huan's hands at all times, decentralize power, and get up very at ease.

But once you get busy, it's really impossible.

Just like today, because it coincides with the second round of the Champions League semi-final, Yang Huan has a lot to do.

Regarding the reception of UEFA officials and referees, although Peter Kenyon did his job, the management of Bayern Munich led the team to the Saints. Out of courtesy, Yang Huan decided to invite them to dinner at Wangjiang Pavilion. .

It is said that Bayern Munich still has things to talk about.

After that, as the host, and for such an important game, Yang Huan must appear in the stadium stands, and he should also meet with the players before the game to boost morale.

Therefore, the time will be very tight when the two come and go.

Ron Gurley really couldn't answer Pini Zahavi's question.

"I called and asked Lao Wu."

In addition to being Yang Huan's bodyguard, Long Wu is also a personal assistant.

No way, it is said that Ms. Zhuang, Ms. Zhang and others forced Young Master Huan to make a decision, saying that he was afraid that he would use the name of an assistant again, in fact, to get rid of flowers everywhere.

With that said, Ron Gurley picked up his cell phone and called Long Wu.

"Fifth, I want to ask, is Young Master Huan have time later? Well, yes, it's very important, oh, so, how about coming to the club? Well, yes, they are already in the office, OK, OK, OK ,Thank you!"

Pini Zahavi, Horabchin, Bertolucci and others sitting opposite were all beaming.

Listening to Ron Gurley, it should be possible to spare some time.

Sure enough, the Southampton chief operating officer put down his phone and smiled: "Young Master Huan is now eating with Bayern Munich’s management and will return to St. Mary in half an hour. There will be about ten minutes of rest. , I asked Lao Wu to ask, Young Master Huan promised to meet you."

Having said that, Ron Gurley reminded once again, "But you only have ten minutes. After that, Young Master Huan will meet with some sponsor representatives to talk about a series of promotion and publicity cooperation after the team reaches the finals. !"

With Southampton’s business development capabilities, the club has reached the Champions League final for the first time in more than a hundred years. Whether it is winning or losing, it must be hyped.

Besides, for a super dark horse like Southampton, being able to reach the Champions League final is a miracle in itself.

When Pini Zahavi and others listened, they were very surprised.

The sponsors of Southampton are almost all international brands.

Listening to Ron Gurley, it is certainly very important to be able to let Master Huan go out in person.

It is foreseeable that at that time, there will be a round of publicity and promotion sweeping the world.

Don’t think that this has nothing to do with their agents. On the contrary, in this kind of promotion, their players in the Saints team will also benefit, and their exposure and commercial value will double, as long as they follow this trend and slightly increase Operation, they can naturally follow the sweetness.

This is the benefit of joining a big team with strong business operations capabilities such as Southampton, Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The club is the leader, drank the soup, ate the meat, and they just want to follow the team to pick up the foreigners, at least can chew the bones.

Maybe if you are lucky, you can still make a fortune!

However, Ron Gurley also meant to remind them that it’s better to organize first. Master Huan only has ten minutes. How to make good use of these ten minutes depends on your ability!

…………

…………

Yang Huan sat in the back of the latest version of Subversive, turned his head and looked out the window.

The whole road was filled with Saints fans wearing red and white arrow striped jerseys, but few people would recognize his car.

The reason is simple. Instead of driving the iconic Conqueror today, he drove the Subversive.

This crossover is too popular. Although the price is high, there are too many people buying it. It is not surprising that you can often see it on the street.

And for the sake of confidentiality, Yang Huan also specially posted a film, so that the inside cannot be seen from the outside.

Behind them, there is a club shuttle bus, Lagonda Conqueror, with the body paint using Southampton's red and white arrow stripes, plus the conspicuous club emblem and shuttle bus logo, so fans see , It is generally just curious about who the person in the car is, and will not doubt others.

Sitting in the car are four or five high-level Bayern Munich, including Rummenigge.

But what Yang Huan is considering now is what they just mentioned at the dinner table.

One very important consideration for Yang Huan to take them so seriously and personally receive them is Hamburg.

He needs to get through the relationship between Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich wants to meet him because they want to introduce Southampton’s goalkeeper Neuer and central defender Harvey Martinez, but these two players are both Southampton’s defensive pillars.

Bayern Munich’s management is also very kind and has a good relationship with Yang Huan. They directly agreed. After Yang Huan acquires Hamburg, they will give strong support. At least within the German Football Association, they can still be stable.

Of course, the premise is that Hamburg can't be done too much.

If your young master Huan bought the team and immediately burned one or two billion dollars a year, digging around, causing the entire Bundesliga to complain, then Bayern Munich can't control it.

The promise made by Yang Huan is also in the interest of Bayern Munich.

That is, burgers don’t burn money!

At least, in the next few years, Hamburg will not be able to challenge Bayern Munich's dominance.

However, Yang Huan is quite entangled in the matter of Bayern Munich wanting to introduce Neuer and Harvey Martinez.

Yang Huan didn't want to talk about Neuer's words, so he refused!

These years, good goalkeepers are too difficult to find, especially for the world's top goalkeepers like Neuer.

After finally grabbing one, and it fits Bielsa's tactics so well, how could Yang Huan sell it?

But Harvey Martinez's situation is a little different.

This player was handpicked by Guardiola, so Bayern Munich's price is very sincere.

And Southampton?

Bielsa has always been interested in reorganizing the central defender combination and looking for a left foot as the left central defender.

But selling Harvey Martinez, whether the team's defense will have problems, this is Yang Huan must consider.

However, there is one thing that Yang Huan cares most about.

That is the human heart!

When he was a fan, Yang Huan always thought it was weird and always felt that those clubs were messing around.

For example, many teams immediately adjust the team lineup after winning the league championship or winning the Champions League.

Some are a bit outrageous, and even sell their core players altogether to reorganize the lineup on a large scale.

For a giant like Real Madrid, winning the championship and speculating the coach is also very common.

And this kind of adjustment and reorganization often brings great risks and may even affect the team's performance.

So, what is the reason that these clubs must do this?

Is it just because the core players are poached?

It's not that simple!

Only when Yang Huan became the boss of Southampton and got a deep understanding of the core of running the team, did he really realize that, in the final analysis, it is still popular!

The human heart is very strange. When you move forward courageously toward the established goal, you will feel that you have endless strength and desire, and you are willing to work hard for it.

But the problem is that after you achieve the set goal, you will unknowingly lose the desire of the past, and you may become slack or even lazy.

For example, after Inter Milan won the Champions League, Moratti chose to keep the hero, but what happened?

Since then, the performance of core players such as Diego Milito, Sneijder, Maicon has plummeted, and Inter Milan has never recovered.

Is Inter Milan a special case?

No!

After Barcelona won the Grand Slam, the same situation occurred, but Guardiola's team is too far ahead of other European teams in terms of tactics and ability, so this situation is not obvious.

Or to put it this way, Iniesta is now only thirty years old. He should have been in his prime, but now he has clearly reached the peak of his career and is no longer as brave as he was.

Therefore, the reason why many teams choose to do this is not because they like tossing around, but because they are thinking about and judging the pros and cons of problems very sensibly.

Taking advantage of the team’s peak value and high players’ worth, sell this group of players who will go downhill, and re-introduce a group of capable players. Through this benign metabolism, the team can maintain the internal opposition to the maximum. The thirst for championship honor.

In theory, this is what any club aspires to achieve with two birds with one stone.

Of course, the specific operation is very troublesome and the risks are also great.

But even if they know there are risks, most teams still choose to go this way.

And like Inter Milan, originally chose to renew the contract hero, but in the past few years, it has been criticized.

As for Barcelona, ​​the problem is a bit special. After all, they are all youth players and it is very troublesome to clean them. In addition to membership-based teams, the fan factor must also be considered.

Now in Southampton, Yang Huan is also a choice.

It can be said that it was beyond everyone's expectations to be able to play this season, and even Yang Huan himself did not expect it at all.

But now the team's problems are also very serious.

If you want to keep this batch of players in the team, yes, no problem, but the cost of renewing the contract may be quite high.

Moreover, no one can guarantee how long the player's status can be maintained.

Can decide next season, or the next season, and then wait until their state declines to the point where they can't guarantee the main position of the team, with a surprisingly high salary, sitting on the bench and keeping the drinking fountain to live.

This is not the best choice for the club or the players.

Or, taking advantage of the current high price, another team is interested, and quickly sells it at a high price, and then introduces a more cost-effective star who is more hungry for honor?

These two choices are hard to say right or wrong, they can only be said to be a trade-off.

Yang Huan sat in the car and looked out of the car. The closer to St. Mary's Stadium, the greater the number of fans.

But the inside and outside of the car are obviously two different worlds.

The fans outside the car are very simple, they don't know anything, don't care about anything, just know to support the team.

If you win the ball, you will cheer and applaud. If you lose the ball, you will scold your mother.

But sitting in the car, every decision made by him may affect the future of the club and even everyone outside.

"Fifth, what are the next arrangements?" Yang Huan asked casually.

Long Wu was sitting in the passenger seat and playing with his mobile phone. After hearing the question from Young Master Huan, he turned around and said, "Originally, you could rest for ten minutes and then have a meeting with representatives of major sponsors, but now, I’m afraid it’s no longer possible. You promised to meet with Pini Zahawi, Horabchin and others."

After speaking, Long Wu added another sentence, "Ron said, things are very important."

Yang Huan nodded, and leaned back, closing his eyes to rest.

"Old fifth, let's sing!"

Long Wu said, "What do you want to hear?"

"Little Apple!"

Long Wu curled his lips helplessly, and could only let go.
