v4 Chapter 1453： Are you optimistic about him?

"Who?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

Van Gaal did not answer directly, but thought for a while and thought about the wording before speaking.

"We considered two options, one was conservative, the pursuit of immediate combat power, the introduction of Huntelaar from Schalke 04."

Everyone is no stranger to this center. He is a Dutch international and a center trained by Ajax.

"We all know that he was not happy at Schalke 04. Although he once recovered his pinnacle here, it is now much worse than before. He is still about thirty-four years old. Good strength, I have shouted to them many times before, hoping to return to Ajax. "

This is also a tradition in European football. It is regarded as the fall of the roots. Even Yang Yang had considered it. When he was old, he would return to Ajax for retirement.

But is Huntelaar in line with Ajax's long-term plan?

This is a question.

Seeing Yang Yang make no statement, Van Gaal knew what he was thinking.

In fact, not only Yang Yang, but also Van Gaal and Van der Sar, many core seniors are equally questionable, because Huntelaar is too old, although his return can satisfy the wishes of fans and many club seniors. , But whether he can bring the team the competitiveness it deserves is difficult to determine. Mobile terminal::

And his salary is not low, especially in Ajax.

"We have several other younger options." Van Gaal changed the subject, motioning everyone to look at the screen in the conference room, and a player's game highlights were quickly played on it.

"This player is called Erlin Halland. He was only seventeen years old in July. He debuted in Norway's Brunner Club. During the transfer period of the Norwegian league at the beginning of the year, he moved to the Norwegian giant Molde Elder's head coach is former Manchester United star Solskjaer. "

The league in Norway is different from other countries. Because they are located in the Nordic region, it is impossible to play throughout the winter, so their league is not a new year, but starts from February to March and ends before the winter, so the beginning of the year Time is the transfer period of their league lockout.

“Lajola ’s scouts have been following this player. We have recommended it to us before. Our scouts have also watched his game. Norway defeated Israel three to zero in the UEFA Euro-17 qualifying round. , He staged the score twice and left a very deep impression on our scouts. "

Yang Yang frowned, because he saw the problem at once.

too young!

Maybe he will succeed in the future, but now, he is definitely not suitable for Ajax.

What Ajax wants now is a young player with potential and good combat effectiveness.

Ellin Halland may be really as potential as Ajax ’s scouts said, but it also belongs to the future, and he only joined Mold in February. It is estimated that if the summer transfer is introduced, Ajax It is also a big loss.

At the very least, the transfer fee is definitely not low.

However, Yang Yang was not angry because he knew that Ajax is now in an awkward position in European football. It is very difficult to find the right person. He can only try to choose those who are not famous, but there are Young players with a certain strength base, but this is too difficult.

With the development of information in European football today, as soon as young players take the lead, they are immediately targeted by the teams in the four major leagues. It is impossible to reach Ajax, let alone those with potential.

After the digitalization has fully entered the European football and youth training system, the club's assessment of player strength and potential is becoming more and more accurate. It is basically difficult to find the kind of dusty relic.

Subsequently, the two or three players introduced by Van Gaal were either good performers in the Dutch League or were not well-known. Basically, it was difficult to find players who could match Dolbert.

"This is the last one."

Van Gaal reluctantly chose to continue to play the video and introduced it to everyone present.

"His name is Luka Jovic, 19 years old, debuted in Serbia ’s Red Star team. In January 2016, due to the club ’s financial crisis, the Red Star team sold Luca Jovic to Cyprus First Division One. For a team called Limassol Helios, the transfer fee is 2.2 million euros. "

"During playing for the Red Star, he scored twelve goals in 42 appearances and showed quite good potential, so after signing him, Limassol Apollo sold him as soon as he changed hands. Benfica gave the Portuguese Super League, the value of which has soared from 2.2 million euros to 7 million euros, paid in five installments. "

Yang Yang heard this and smiled secretly in his heart. This is the status quo of the European low-level league.

The Red Stars are in deep financial crisis and urgently need a fund, so they find a middleman, but in this way, the player's worth will inevitably have to be sold cheaply, so that the middle talents can make a profit.

"Jovic has been unable to adapt to life in Portugal. He has been adapting in the first half of joining Benfica, but the effect is not ideal. He only got six minutes of playing time. He was once used by the head coach because he appeared in the nightclub. The expulsion from the big list further worsened his situation at Benfica. "

"Rui Costa has a high opinion of Jovic, and has given him a lot of help, plus his own outstanding performance in the reserve team and training, so I saw hope for the first time this season, but I did not expect He injured his foot in the swimming pool, sustained more than 50 days of injury, missed the game at the beginning of the season, and finally played another season with the second team. "

Yang Yang couldn't help but feel very curious when he saw this, "Louis, are you optimistic about him?"

"Yes." Van Gaal nodded with certainty.

"why?"

"I watched him play in the Serbian domestic league and the national team. I think this is a very potential and very productive scorer, especially in the national team. He played twelve times in the u16 national team. Ten goals, sixteen goals in nineteen appearances in the U17 national team and one goal in the U18 national team. "

"Now, he is only 19 years old, but he has been selected into the u21 national team in advance. Although he is still in the adaptation stage for the time being, he can see that he has always been a leader among his peers, and it really makes me optimistic about him It ’s not his efficiency in scoring goals, nor his excellent physical fitness, but here. "

Van Gaal vigorously pointed to his temple, indicating that he is optimistic about Luca Jovic is his head seeds.

"This is a very smart player. He knows what he should do when he is on the court. Although he has outstanding physical fitness, he has solid basic skills, flexibility, a large running range, and a very smart running position. Strong, I think this is very suitable for our long-term planning. "

After speaking, Van Gaal smiled again, "In fact, I don't think it is necessary to see whether he has scored goals. For this type of player, you only need to watch him for one or two games to be able to clearly I know, he is different from others. "

After Yang Yang heard this, he couldn't help but also laughed.

He knew what Van Gaal meant, just like when he saw himself in Almere.

Van Gaal said that when he saw Yang Yang, he felt that Yang Yang was different from others.

God knows if he really thought this way?

But Yang Yang really trusted Van Gaal's vision of people, and it was really poisonous.

"How feasible is it?" Yang Yang asked.

Luca Jovic is nineteen years old and is about the same age as Dolbel. If it is true that Van Gaal said that he is a capable player, then now is the time when he is not able to meet him, and is not to be seen by Benfica The type Ajax wants.

If he was reused by Benfica, it would be impossible for Ajax to pick a corner.

"The feasibility is very high, because Benfica has also lost patience with him, but he bought it for 7 million euros, and now he can't see the hope of appreciation. Benfica is also eager to shoot, so as not to be locked in." Van Gaal Laughed.

Whether it's Benfica or Ajax, the introduction of players will definitely consider the potential for appreciation, because they are used to maintain the club's livelihood.

Only the four major leagues, even those of the rich teams, their recruitment will consider more of the combat strength.

However, even the top giants like Real Madrid are considering the introduction of young talents, which further compresses the living space of these teams.

"What do you think?" Yang Yang looked at the others present and asked their opinions.

In fact, they have already talked about it already, but Yang Yang is needed to make a decision.

Sure enough, Van der Sar shrugged and opened his hands helplessly, "We have no better choice now."

Yang Yang looked at other people, including Ovimas, the director of player affairs, and he seemed to have basically reached agreement, so he didn't say much.

"In this case, then we have decided, if you can stay, you can stay, if you can't stay, you can sell!"

Everyone nodded their heads, obviously Ajax could not choose this matter.

"Although we want to sell, we still have to make enough gestures. We must not lose money," Yang Yang ordered.

Wei Zheng nodded and took the words: "The transfer will be in charge of the technical department, but the specific business negotiations will be in charge of Mennon Herron. Although it is difficult for us to keep people, but the other party wants to dig our corners, there is no more point Blood will certainly not work. "

Menno Herron has been in charge of the business department. He has done a good job in the past year, but Ajax has a weak foundation and can't see results for the time being. I believe that over time, there will definitely be achievements in the future.

He is responsible for playing tricks and negotiating with opponents, which is perfectly appropriate.

"Are there any suitable candidates for the new season's head coach?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

This is another big trouble.

Van Gaal and Van der Sar were both sullenly faced. Obviously, there was no solution to this problem.

Ajax's coaching position is not so good. Especially, it is not easy to shoulder the task of impacting the Champions League group stage and the Dutch champions.

So, after Pete Boss moved to Dortmund, more than half a month later, Ajax has not yet found a suitable candidate.
