To some extent, Yang Yang's switch to Ajax is no longer a secret.
In the business field, the Yang Yang team headed by Wei Zheng and Laiola have been negotiating and cutting with the Real Madrid business team. The two parties will continue to cooperate, but there are still many problems that need to be resolved for Yang Yang's departure.
This transfer involves the interests of many companies. Yang Yang alone has more than 20 sponsors, all of which are the top brands in the world. Yang Yang needs to give them an account to transfer.
Yang Yang holds a good attitude and is willing to continue cooperation. Of course he welcomes it, but if he decides to cancel the sponsorship contract with him because he wants to leave Real Madrid, he will not block it.
The end result is that only two large multinational companies choose to cancel the sponsorship contract with Yang Yang, but many brands, including Nike and Porsche, have intensified their cooperation with Yang Yang, and Nike has set a high price for Yang Yang. 'S lifetime contract will keep him in the Nike camp forever.
The reason is not difficult to guess, Ajax's jersey sponsor is Adidas.
If Nike does not sign Yang Yang, it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Yang will not be cornered by Adidas, which is not a good thing for Nike.
Real Madrid also suffered a lot of losses, but because Yang Yang and Real Madrid will continue to cooperate, so many previously signed contracts, as long as the sponsor is willing, can continue to perform, and Yang Yang will continue to cooperate with Real Madrid and perform their corresponding The obligation is that he has no way to put on Real Madrid ’s jersey.
At least, during his time playing and coaching Ajax.
This transfer involves too many interest disputes, involving the commercial interests of dozens of large consortia in the world, so it is impossible to hide everyone, the executives of those big consortia have long been aware of it, It was just not disclosed.
Even many media reporters who are close to Yang Yang, Real Madrid and Ajax have known for a long time.
As early as early March, the Dutch government suddenly introduced a special tax exemption clause, which is aimed at big-name foreign stars playing football in the Dutch League, and can enjoy a three-year tax-free treatment.
At that time, many people speculated, was this paving the way for Yang Yang's return?
The media close to Ajax knew clearly that Yang Yang's return was already a certainty.
Especially at the end of May, Adidas suddenly announced that he would renew the contract with Ajax in advance, which increased the sponsorship fee by 10 million euros, which doubled. This caused a huge response in Dutch football, and everyone was wondering, Ajax scored so badly, why did Adidas renew the contract in advance and increase the sponsorship fee?
In addition, Ajax is also promoting business operations in a low-key manner, and has achieved results one after another.
Especially after the end of last season, Ajax signed three blockbuster sponsorship contracts in just over a month, with a revenue of more than 10 million euros, which opened Ajax at the commercial level. Asian and North American markets.
Not long ago, when the director of Ajax ’s Ministry of Commerce Meno Herron held a press conference in Amsterdam, he said with great confidence that Ajax ’s global promotion plan was going very smoothly and is expected to become a Jax's largest source of income.
Also at that press conference, Ajax announced that it would restart China's youth training program, and will invest 100 million euros in the next year to build Ajax's largest youth training base overseas.
Many people are very surprised by Ajax's several major decisions, because Ajax does not have so much money, and Mennon Herron is so confident that he can open the global market and connect with European giants. Grab a meal?
Those who really understand the insider know that Ajax's strength comes from Yang Yang.
Even the Ajax Supervisory Board agreed to restart the Chinese youth training program because of Yang Yang.
he came!
For Ajax, this is a great opportunity!
It is also an opportunity to take off!
…………
…………
"Right-back, I must have a right-back."
Yang Yang doesn't care about the outside world. He is more concerned about Ajax's performance this season.
He has agreed with the Supervisory Board that as long as Ajax ’s performance and management have reached the agreed standards this year, he will fully acquire Ajax and make this team his private property. speak.
This is why he has spared no effort to develop Ajax in these years and now.
Both Van Gaal and Van der Sar felt the strong desire of Yang Yang. They now also understand that an offensive right-back will be a vital part of Yang Yang's tactical territory, but they have really tried their best.
Looking at each other, they both smiled bitterly.
"In the past six months, we have examined a lot of players. In the past month, we have reconsidered almost all the right-backs in the scout database that meet our requirements, but to be honest, it is difficult. Van Gaal frowned, embarrassed.
"Yeah, the players we can afford, may not be willing to come to our team, such as Aaron Wanbizaka of Crystal Palace in the Premier League. He has just turned 20 and he is fast and has excellent physical fitness. Crystal Palace is only ranked in the Premier League Downstream, but you know, after we contacted his agent, the other party refused us without hesitation. "
"There are several others, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Brazil, Argentina ..."
Van der Sar's hands spread out helplessly, "We have increased the transfer budget to 10 million euros, and we can make appropriate concessions in terms of annual salary, but the problem cannot be solved."
The transfer fee of 10 million euros is already very high in the Netherlands.
When Ajax wanted to sign Ruo Zuo on the left, it was really hesitant for a long time, and finally Yang Yang was successful, but even so, he still received a lot of criticism.
If it was not the first half of last season, if the heat showed great bravery, this deal will be scolded by the media and fans.
Now Ajax is so tricky. Better players can't look at the Dutch League or Ajax who can't play the Champions League. Many of them even prefer to play in the middle and lower teams of the four major leagues. Reluctant to come.
Anyway, that's the four major leagues.
This oligarch effect is becoming more and more obvious, but from another perspective, if Ajax can not break through its own bottleneck as soon as possible, get rid of the current predicament as soon as possible, then in the end, the situation will be getting worse and worse.
The league between Belgium and the Netherlands will be merged, but who knows when? Who knows what will happen after the merger?
Anyway, now Ajax must strengthen himself!
...
"Is there really no good candidate?" Yang Yang asked with a frown.
Van Gaal nodded. "After our investigation and selection over the period of time, we all think that there are two best solutions at present, you can refer to it."
"tell me the story."
"Our youth team's main right-back Sergio Dust, he has grown very fast in the past two years. He will enter the second team in the new season and participate in the Dutch League. The players are very fast, with excellent skills and assists. The ability is very strong, we all think that he is a very ideal choice. "
Yang Yang nodded and pointed out the biggest problem, "But he is only seventeen."
"Yes, this is his biggest problem right now."
Yang Yang's brows are still tight. He is not opposed to the promotion of young players. It is not a big problem in the Dutch League at the age of seventeen. But when he arrives in Europe, this age is not a big deal, especially in the back line. The risk is too great.
Especially when encountering a team that is not weaker than yourself, such an obvious weakness, it is definitely a dead end.
"Is there another plan?"
Van Gaal raised his head and looked deeply at Yang Yang. "The second plan is actually more suitable and more in line with our requirements. That is Real Madrid's right-back Ashraf."
"It's him." Yang Yang remembered immediately, this is his teammate in Real Madrid, a young teenager.
Last season he was Carvajal's rotation and replacement. Some games performed well, but he was not stable enough.
For a team of this level, Real Madrid can enter the first team, the potential is absolutely no doubt, the key is whether they can cultivate their potential, this is the problem.
Yang Yang searched the memory of Ashraf in his mind, and felt that this player is indeed good, fast, live under his feet, and has good physical fitness, which is worth cultivating.
"If I remember correctly, Real Madrid is renting him?" Yang Yang asked.
Real Madrid ’s current right-back is already full, Carvajal is the main force. This summer, he just introduced Audrio Sola from the Royal Society. It cost 30 million euros. It is definitely to occupy a place in the first team. As a result, teenager Ashraf ’s position will be squeezed, and he must leave the team.
Real Madrid's youth training strategy is very clear, when dealing with this potential youngster, they are more inclined to rent, rather than sell.
"It is indeed a loan, but you want to buy out before, don't you?" Van Gaal smiled bitterly.
This is where he committed trouble.
Ashraf is indeed a very good choice, but Real Madrid want to rent, Ajax is more inclined to buy out, because this can ensure that the players he cultivates can bring value to the club.
If it is a loan, after kicking out, immediately go back to Real Madrid.
Of course, it is also a challenge to persuade Ashraf to come to Ajax.
After all, good players are now in demand. Ashraf ’s performance in Real Madrid is not bad, and his price is not high. If he really wants to transfer, there must be no lack of interest in the four major league teams. Why should he come to Ajax?
Yang Yang tweeted again, and then saw the look of expectation when Van Gaal and Van der Sar looked at themselves. Where did they not know what they were waiting for?
To put it bluntly, don't you just want to come forward?
Ashraf is really superfluous for Real Madrid. Yang Yang's appearance is not considered to be digging Real Madrid's corner. It's just a little sensitive. After all, he just jumped from Real Madrid.
If there are other suitable options, Yang Yang is really reluctant to come forward.
