Chapter 772: Sell, why not sell?

Name:Football Giants Author:Chen Aiting
After talking with Luis Filipe Vieira and General Manager Rui Costa at the Stadium of Light, Yang Huan, accompanied by the two, went to the training base of Benfica to visit.

As the flagship team of Lisbon, Benfica's training base is not in Lisbon, but in a small town called Seixal in the Setúbal district south of Lisbon.

Seixal and Lisbon are just across a wide Tejo River, facing each other.

Benfica’s training base is located on the Tejo River.

Standing at the gate of the Seixal training base, you can see the Tejo River at the end of the road from a distance, which is very beautiful.

You can even see the bustling downtown area of ​​Lisbon on the other side of the river from a distance.

Tourism has always been one of Portugal's economic pillars, and the scenery of the Tejo River has always been loved by tourists.

Not to mention that Benfica is not financially rich, but their investment in the training base is not stingy at all.

The area is not small. Both the first team and the youth training camp are here, sharing the same training building, but the facilities are very complete, with everything you need, and even a lot of equipment is very advanced, it is a modern training base.

Let alone the Portuguese Super League, even if it is put in Europe, it is definitely second to none.

This also reminds Yang Huan of the training base of the Premier League team.

It's really better than people, so angry!

Regardless of the fact that the Premier League team is very wealthy, but the concept is still quite old, they are willing to spend a lot of money on the players, but the spending on the training base is very stingy and stingy.

Therefore, in the Premier League, in addition to the top giants, there are many teams whose training bases are terrible.

At this point, Yang Huan really feels that Benfica's philosophy is worthy of recognition.

After visiting the Seixal training base, Yang Huan, accompanied by Vieira and Rui Costa, went for a stroll along the Tejo River, and then a group of people returned to Lisbon and went to Wangjiang Pavilion for dinner.

It was during this meal that Yang Huan mentioned Oblak's transfer.

This Slovenian? Will officially replace Brazilian goalkeeper Atul as the main force after the winter break, and has performed well in the Portuguese Super League, and has been affirmed by the Southampton scout team.

However, this player is currently not well-known, and his worth is not too high.

However, because Oblak’s ownership also involves a third party, Vieira has no way to answer Yang Huan directly, but he promised that he will do his best to facilitate this transfer.

After negotiating the Oblak transfer, the two sides talked about the current situation in European football.

Vieira mentioned one thing that made Yang Huan very interested, that is, Singaporean Chinese billionaire Lin Rongfu has taken over Valencia strongly, and the Bats have made offers to many players in the Benfica team.

Obviously, with Lin Rongfu's financial support, Valencia's rise is only a matter of time.

But what is terrible is that he found Jorge Mendes as a partner, which is really stupid and a lot of money.

This news once again confirmed Yang Huan's previous views.

That is, in the next few years, there will be more and more international capitals and consortia, aiming at the football and sports industries.

In the past few years, the development of football and sports industries has been too fast, and the market has been too big, but anyone who is a little familiar with and understands this area can hardly refuse this temptation.

Therefore, for Yang Huan, there is less and less time left for him to race and enclose the land. If he does not seize the opportunity now, I am afraid it will be too late to regret.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan's idea became more determined.

After dinner with Vieira and Rui Costa, Yang Huan returned to the hotel.

At this time, Tesiki Begiristan, who was in contact with Sporting Lisbon, had already been waiting for him at the hotel.

For Begiristan, who has extensive contacts in Portugal, borrowing the training base of Sporting Lisbon is just a piece of cake, not a big problem.

What really worries Begiristan is the situation currently facing Atletico Madrid.

"Master Huan, in recent times, many teams have come into contact with us, including Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Barcelona. They have all expressed their strong attitude towards our players. interest."

No wonder Begiristan felt worried.

Atletico Madrid has only two seasons of outstanding performance. Last season, it was the La Liga champion, and this season it reached the Champions League final. But now it is facing this kind of almost falling apart. Can you not worry about it? ?

If one is not handled properly, Atletico Madrid's results will plummet.

By that time, the good situation that had been built up so hard in the past two years was completely overwhelmed.

Yang Huan understands Begiristan's worries, but he also has his own considerations, "What did Simeone say?"

"I asked his opinion and he said to follow the club's decision!"

Yang Huan said, knowing.

There are only two roads before Atletico Madrid.

One is to make every effort to retain players, but this requires clubs to renew their contracts with players and pay a higher price.

The advantage of this is that the team avoids turbulence and keeps the existing competitiveness of the team to the greatest extent.

The disadvantage is that if the metabolism is not handled well, Atletico Madrid is likely to encounter the embarrassing situation of Inter Milan.

There is also a drastic reorganization of the lineup, selling off players in the team that do not meet the team's long-term plan, introducing a group of young talents, and promoting the younger lineup. This is also the most in line with Atletico Madrid's current business line.

The advantage is that the team does not need to bear heavy operating costs, and can take this opportunity to complete the metabolism.

The disadvantage is that the team's performance is likely to be affected and fluctuate.

In order to renew his contract with Simeone, Yang Huan personally flew from Southampton to Madrid and had a meeting with him. This was mentioned during the period.

Now it seems that Simeone's attitude is to follow Yang Huan's opinion.

This is not surprising. The club belongs to Yang Huan. Only Yang Huan can decide what kind of philosophy he wants to run the team. As for Soriano and Begiristan, they are just managers. Simeone It's just the head coach. They can only provide advice on this kind of thing that concerns the club's long-term plans.

"By the way, has Simeone's contract been signed?" Yang Huan suddenly thought.

This matter is very important.

"Well, it's signed, we are planning to make an official announcement in these two days!" Begiristan answered.

Simeone has no doubt about the importance of this Atletico Madrid team.

Even in Yang Huan's view, any player in the team can go, and Simeone must be retained anyway.

This is not to say that without Simeone, Atletico Madrid will be finished, but Yang Huan feels that Atletico Madrid is now at a critical moment in building the foundation of the giants, and that talents like Simeone should do everything possible to retain.

Moreover, it is serious to keep Simeone, avoid turbulence in Atletico Madrid, and make the team as a whole steadily improve.

Hearing that Simeone signed and renewed the contract, Yang Huan was relieved.

"Tessiki, go back to contact Tottenham Hotspur, I have negotiated with them before, Felipe and Miranda, the total price of 60 million euros, you go and sign with them!"

"Sixty million? Begiristan was a little surprised.

Two players 60 million euros?

This deal is too amazing, right?

You know, when Atletico Madrid introduced Felipe, it only spent 12 million euros, and the introduction of Miranda did not pay a penny, but now selling them has made 60 million euros back. ?

Seeing his surprised expression, Yang Huan felt amused in his heart. This deal was done anyway.

As the saying goes, fat water does not leave outsiders' fields, anyway, Tottenham Hotspur is going to be slaughtered by others. Rather than making others cheaper, it is better to make yourself cheaper. In any case, you will not cheat and cheat them, will you?

"I've thought about it. Now the new stadium is in full swing. We need funds, and rejuvenation has always been our established route. So, it is better to take this opportunity to sell this batch of players and reorganize the lineup!"

Originally, according to Yang Huan's plan, he was responsible for the funding of the new stadium.

But now, since Atletico Madrid can cover this cost by selling players, why not Yang Huan?

Bergeristan also knows that the new stadium is the foundation of the giants. Only in the case of sitting on the new stadium, Atletico Madrid is qualified to talk about challenging Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Therefore, Young Master Huan's move is not bad.

"But, Young Master Huan, it’s nothing to sell Miranda. After all, we still have Godin, Otamendi, Jose Simeone and Velazquez. But after selling Felipe, we left back There is only one Jose Gaya left."

In the past two seasons, Jose Gaja has played on behalf of Atletico Madrid many times. His performance is very eye-catching. He is also a native Spanish player and is considered to be the focus of Atletico Madrid.

In the case of selling Felipe, it is only natural to support Jose Gaya as the main force.

And young, localized, the benefits to Atletico Madrid are self-evident.

But the problem is that the team will continue to play in the Champions League next season, and it is certainly not enough to rely on Jose Gaja.

Yang Huan knew it well, and thought for a while, "What do you think of Rojo?"

"Rojo?" Begiristan frowned. "Master Huan, are you talking about Rojo from Tottenham Hotspur?"

"Yeah!" Yang Huan nodded, "This player is not liked by Van Gaal, so they want to bring in Felipe. If you think it is appropriate, I will come out to talk, let them use Rohoga cash to buy Felipe, why should they make up 20 million?"

"Wonderful!" Begiristan praised vigorously, "If Tottenham Hotspur would use Rohoga cash to bring in Felipe, then this deal would be worth it!"

Just kidding, Rojo is not liked by Van Gaal, but it depends on the situation.

From the past season, Rojo's performance in the Premier League still has great potential.

It’s just that Tottenham Hotspur’s defense team is too cheating, and even Rojo has become a pit, so it seems to behave badly, but in fact, the strength of the Argentine left-back is still there. .

Besides, Rojo is now in a sluggish performance, and his value is the lowest point, and what Atletico Madrid wants is just a supplement, and Rojo can do it.

Through this kind of transaction , Atletico Madrid did not lose much strength, but made a generous transfer fee, which is a bargain after thinking about it.

Thinking of this, the look in Yang Huan's eyes became unusual.

This Young Master Huan's ability to operate is so sturdy.

"Then Arsenal want to introduce Juan Fran, Master Huan, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, Yang Huan had already laughed.

"Sell, why not? Even if Miranda and Felipe are sold, do you care about a Juan Fran?"

Juan Fran is the Spanish right back, the main right back of Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish international.

But Yang Huan’s idea is also very simple. With Montoya and Keno Peruzi sitting on two new-generation players, since someone is willing to pay a high price for Juan Fran, why not sell it?
