"Hey, Yang, congratulations! I watched the UEFA Champions League final, and it performed great!"
"Thank you, Edwin."
"Oh, God, do you know? The last thing I regret now is that I retired too early and haven't played against you."
"Huh, Edgar, it's not easy to want a game? Let's make an appointment and play in Detok Most."
"This is a good idea. I'm the referee!"
"Fuck you, can you make a face? I'm afraid it's like this before I kick."
"Haha, I think Yang Yang's idea is good. Several of our old guys are idle and idle, so they play a veteran match."
"To be honest, I put on a suit, put on a tie, and stepped on leather shoes. Sometimes I don't know myself anymore. I have played for a lifetime, and I never thought I would live like this. I wouldn't feel comfortable without playing."
"Don't complain, Daniel, you work as an assistant in the first team, don't you end up playing football?"
"Aren't you also coaching young goalkeepers? Isn't it because of itchy hands?"
...
After the formal meeting, Ajax ’s senior officials had time to come and congratulate Yang Yang.
Today Yang Yang is the major shareholder of Ajax, and his scenery naturally makes Ajax and Rongyan, not to mention that he is from Ajax youth training, Yang Yang is more vigorous, and Ajax follows the light. .
Ajax ’s current management team is basically all professional players, and all of them come from Ajax, which makes them have a relationship with each other and work well together. At the same time, the football atmosphere in the team is very strong .
These are the world-class stars in European football. Although they play their own roles, they often go to the training ground to have fun. When the first team is not good to intervene, they go to the youth team and bring the young players. , Give them some pointers, if they meet good seedlings again, they do n’t mind carrying a belt.
This atmosphere is excellent, and it is also part of the characteristics of Ajax's youth training.
Yang Yang also clearly remembers that he first came to Detok Most to participate in the selection of Ajax ’s talent day, and this event has a feature that there will be Ajax first team stars On the spot, this greatly inspired young players participating in the selection.
Many of Ajax ’s youth coaches are also clubs, including Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp and others have served as youth coaches. This is very important for the youth camp youths. Great incentive effect.
Yang Yang, for example, missed those days when he was training at Ajax, under Van Gaal and Van Basten.
I have to admit that the death of Cruyff's velvet revolution may be selfish, but to some extent, he did help Ajax find the club genes and atmosphere lost in the turbulent years.
Just like Ajax today, from the management to the youth camp, the football atmosphere is very strong, which is very good.
Only in this atmosphere, Ajax can continue to train young players.
...
After an appointment with Van der Sar, Bergkamp and others to play a game, Yang Yang politely sent them away, and then turned back, but found Van Gaal looking at him with a smile-like expression.
He looked a little hairy in his eyes.
"Why do you look at me like this?" Yang Yang was a little strange.
Van Gaal smiled and did not immediately talk, but greeted Yang Yang to his office.
After the two were seated, Van Gaal came coldly and said, "You want to eat the whole Ajax!"
Yang Yang looked slightly surprised and immediately looked up to Van Gaal. It was a little surprised, but he quickly smiled bitterly, "Did I act so obviously?"
"It's quite obvious." Van Gaal was very frank, "Your brother-in-law is really a personal talent!"
Yang Yang ’s brother-in-law is Wei Zheng, one of the members of the Ajax Supervisory Board, and Yang Yang ’s spokesperson in Ajax.
Sometimes things like talent are also cultivated.
"He is indeed very good. He studied in the Netherlands for ten years ago. He is very familiar with Dutch football, especially Ajax and Amsterdam. He has been helping me deal with personal affairs for many years, and he knows professional football very well, and he Now there are a lot of talents under my hands, and there is a whole team. "
Yang Yang ’s current affairs are basically handed over to Wei Zheng, and Laiola is more responsible for the negotiation of sports. Wei Zheng has been working hard all these years to create Yang Jin ’s gold signboard shiny and investment On the other hand, it has also done a great job.
Not to mention anything else, I invested in rice technology at the beginning, and after two years of withdrawal, Yang Yang made a profit.
"The turbulence of the past years and the weakness since the velvet revolution have made Ajax soberly realize that today's European professional football has already changed, and it is no longer the European football that everyone is familiar with. "
When Van Gaal said this, the expression on his face was somewhat lonely and sighed.
What did the previous European football look like?
No one made it clear.
Before the Bosman Act, European football should be closed and closed. Most of the clubs are mainly youth echelons. However, after the Bosman Act, the movement of people became more frequent. The youth players headed by Ajax suffered a huge impact.
It can be said that it was the first time Ajax was hit hard, because the stars, including Reizig and Kluivert, failed to sell a good price, and the club ’s competitiveness in European football began to suffer greatly.
To a certain extent, the listing has created the glory of Ajax at the beginning of the century. At the same time, Ajax has changed the past to make cars behind closed doors and actively introduced young talents from other European countries, Africa, South America and even all over the world. This created the strong wave of Ajax at the beginning of the century.
At this point, Ajax was at the forefront of European football.
But after a round of prosperity, Ajax turbulent again, the Dutch League can not support the behemoth, Ajax soon fell apart under the digging of the four major leagues, quickly fell from the peak.
In the past few years, European football has been pyramid-shaped, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, Ajax is equivalent to a small fish, mixed in the pool water of European football is quite moist, but recently In recent years, the situation has changed dramatically.
Just like Bazor, this 19-year-old young player is only a semi-finished product. If you put it in the past situation, all the giants will continue to watch, quietly waiting for his growth and progress in Ajax. Sign him at the right time, maybe the transfer fee will be higher, but at least it is proper and the risk is low.
Sneijder, Suarez and others left Ajax in this way.
But it is not possible now, because the inflation in the transfer market has caused the player's value to skyrocket. Today's Bazor may be able to buy it for 10 million euros, but one or two, two or three years later, when he matures, The price skyrocketed immediately, and God knows what price was drawn at that time?
Coupled with the developed communications brought about by the explosion of information, young players have also begun to reach a wider world. They have begun to realize that even if they are still very young, they can still go to the big team to sign a rich one. Contracts, get a high annual salary early, and some even worry about food and clothing for life.
Imagine that young players are also people, there are families behind them, and even most of the players are from the lower and middle classes. They all know that professional football is to eat a bowl of youthful rice. If you can get a big team at the age of 19 Rich contracts, where will they refuse? Where else will you consider whether this is suitable for your own development?
The top executives of Bayern Munich once said that in Germany, as long as any young player receives a contract from Bayern Munich, they almost always sign it without hesitation, because this represents security.
For the same reason, European giants have a wealth of money and are more secure than Ajax.
Therefore, when the big fish start to eat shrimp, the life of the little fish must be more difficult.
When Ajax ca n’t keep young players like Bazor, the team ’s entire business philosophy and youth training system must be followed by changes and adjustments to redefine their position in European football .
This process is very difficult, inevitably turbulent, and will experience severe pain, and the management of Ajax is also under great pressure. In this case, they are eager to make changes.
Cruyff's velvet revolution could not save Ajax, but Yang Yang's 50 million euros was a gift.
In the past year, Wei Zheng has been working hard. On the one hand, he is doing the work of management, on the other hand, he is also eating Ajax ’s circulating stocks on the stock market. A formal agreement was signed with Yang Yang and Wei Zheng.
The agreement stipulates that if Ajax ’s business performance and competitive performance pass the assessment of the Supervisory Board in the next three years, they will agree to Yang Yang to purchase the remaining Ajax shares at a high price of 100 million euros. Kesi will also become Yang Yang's personal belongings.
Based on the current market value of Ajax, 100 million euros is a relatively reasonable normal price, and there is not much premium, but the premise is that the performance and results must meet the requirements of the supervisory committee, which represents the operation led by Yang Yang and Wei Zheng The team does have the ability to run Ajax well.
This is also an opportunity for Yang Yang, so he persuaded Van Gaal to return to Ajax so hard, and at the same time let Wei Zheng help Mennon Herron to actively develop the Chinese and Asian markets.
"As you said, European football has changed." Yang Yang did not conceal his intentions and ambitions in front of Van Gaal. "The gameplay of the past is no longer suitable. I need you to help me , Together we will find a new game for Ajax. "
"Three years? Are you really sure?" Van Gaal was not sure about this time limit.
"How do you know if you don't try it? Anyway, even if you are unsuccessful in three years, you will surrender your management power, the shares are still there, the supervisory board will still be there, and you will find opportunities later." Yang Yang was confident.
Needless to say, Van Gaal's ability, Pete Boss is also unanimously optimistic about everyone, coupled with the club's transformation began to return to the right track, whether Yang Yang and Wei Zheng, or Van der Sar and others, are very confident.
