Chapter 202 The most important signing plan in the winter window
Chapter 202 The most important signing plan in the winter window
The game has begun.
Players from both sides were very active.
Although they were playing away from home, the Rangers were clearly superior in strength. They quickly took advantage of the field and took the lead!
In the 3rd minute, the Rangers midfielder cooperated, and the front midfielder made a beautiful through ball. The forward used the space on the right to run with the ball, and then directly faced the goalkeeper and pushed the shot successfully, 0:1! The visiting team took the lead!
By this time, Queen's Park's Robertson hadn't even had a chance to touch the ball.
What makes Carrot Head feel even more bitter is that precisely because he was eager to express himself, he pressed too high when attacking. As a result, the Rangers caught the defensive gap on his side and scored.
This is a problem with the mentality of young players.
When you know that important people are observing you on the sidelines, you will inevitably have psychological fluctuations, which will lead to deviations in some of your choices on the court and be exploited by your opponents.
In fact, it’s not just Robertson.
The players in the Queen's Park team also tended to play alone after the start, thinking of showing their best side, forgetting the strength gap between themselves and the Rangers.
Robertson's intervention just now was actually relatively timely, but when he passed the ball to the midfielder for a one-two pass, the midfielder himself wanted to dribble past someone, but was exposed after being intercepted.
Out of the huge space behind Robertson.
This can be regarded as Robertson taking the blame for his teammates' mistakes.
Looking back at the Rangers, although they also want to win Pan Yi's favor, they are obviously more well-trained and play well together.
In particular, McAllister, the core midfielder wearing the No. 10 jersey, has a general demeanor.
He sat in the midfield and commanded and dispatched, keeping his midfield in order, and also delivered that fatal assist.
Robertson couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the stands again.
The Dragon Kingdom man's eyes seemed to be attracted by McAllister at this time, and he was watching him celebrate with the striker who scored the goal.
Robertson pursed his lips, feeling helpless.
This head coach from Hamburg really came to observe McAllister.
The 22-year-old Scottish star is young enough, but also more mature.
It seems that Robertson's opportunity to express himself has gradually gone away from him...
Halftime is over.
The Rangers unsurprisingly led 2-0.
In the 34th minute of the game, McAllister scored with a direct free kick, completing a pass and a shot.
As for Robertson, he only added one cross.
Most of the time, he was fighting with the opponent's forwards in the backcourt.
Since he often faces the situation of defending more with less, his performance even on the defensive end is not very outstanding.
He no longer had any hope that he would be favored.
…
Pan Yi watched this game, of course, just for show.
Without relevant scouting reports, it is too outrageous to rush to another club and say I want to buy you as a player.
And if the decision to buy players is made after a "careful observation and study" of the game, it will be easier to accept.
After all, in world football, it is not uncommon to directly poach the opponent's outstanding players after playing against them. This is often determined after just watching one game.
Now that so many people are talking about Pan Yi's judgment, he should keep a low profile, otherwise what if he is really arrested and sliced into slices?
Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the performance of Robertson or other players in the stands.
What are the other players good to see?
No matter how good they are, they are still the main players in the fourth tier of Scotland, but they will definitely not meet the requirements of the Bundesliga.
If it can really be typed out, then Pan Yi before time travel will naturally know his name, and there will be no need to observe - isn't this talking about Robertson?
So Robertson's performance in this game is not important.
There are people who can almost compete with each other in the future. How can there be any doubt about their strength?
Players' status will have ups and downs, especially for young people.
No matter how bad Robertson's performance is today, Pan Yi will take him away!
Therefore, Pan Yi only glanced at the game occasionally, and spent more time wandering there, thinking about various things in his mind:
"Ah, this is only the fourth tier of the Scottish league. Although there are not many fans, the venue, broadcasting, etc. are all so professional..."
"Does our Dragon Country have a fourth-level league? Yes, but it doesn't seem to exist. Forget it, even in the third-level Chinese League Two, teams often withdraw due to arrears of wages or something."
"Well, even in the second-level Chinese Premier League and the first-level Chinese Super League, things like this happen. Forget it, it can't be compared."
"Queens Park has been in existence for 140 to 50 years. It has been in the lower leagues for so long and it will not just disappear. And even if we win the Chinese Super League championship, we might be disbanded the next day."
"Huh? Another goal. What is the score now?..."
competition is over.
Panting, Robertson returned to the locker room with his teammates, sat on the bench and carefully recalled his performance just now, feeling desperate in his heart.
The team lost 0:3, with zero goals and zero assists, and two goals were scored on the side they defended.
With such performance, the chance of being selected by that man is less than one in a thousand, no, less than one in ten thousand!
This poor performance is not convincing at all.
Robertson suspected that if he continued to play like this, not to mention being spotted by a Bundesliga coach, even a low-level team like Queen's Park would not be able to stay.
And since the game started, Robertson discovered that he never looked at himself again!
It seems that that glance at the beginning of the game was really just a case of his being too sentimental, alas.
And just as he was changing his clothes and preparing to leave the locker room, the team manager opened the door and came in:
"Andrew? Andrew Robertson? Come here."
Robertson subconsciously agreed, then froze.
what's the situation?
How could the manager come in and call him by his name?
All the teammates were a little stunned, and pairs of surprised eyes kept darting between the manager and Robertson.
The manager said a little impatiently: "What are you still doing? Don't keep Mr. Pan Yi, who has come all the way from afar, waiting. He has decided to buy you out from our team. You can prepare to talk to your family about going to Germany.
.”
Pan Yi?
Buyout?
Germany?
Do I really want to play in the Bundesliga?
In the eyes of everyone in disbelief, 18-year-old Andrew Robertson stood stunned in the locker room.
The water bottle in his hand had tilted over, and the water inside was spilling onto the floor, but Robertson didn't notice it at all!
…
500,000 euros, this is the price Pan Yi paid to take away Robertson.
It's a small amount of money, but it's already a huge amount of money for an amateur team.
And Robertson has just started playing as the main player this season. Queen's Park has no burden to let him go. They just feel that an unjust big-headed big-name player has bought one of their players and they can use it for another one.
Because the Bundesliga's winter transfer window will not officially open until January 1, Robertson will need two more days to negotiate and sign a formal contract with Hamburg.
Of course, Pan Yi has also thoughtfully introduced Robertson to a professional agent in Hamburg to prevent the little carrot head from suffering in some details because he is too young.
The act of going to Scotland to introduce Robertson in person made the scandals between Pan Yi and other clubs self-defeating.
How can a coach who is about to leave the team still talk about a transfer in the winter window? Isn't this just a waste of time?
So this also gave the team's top management and fans reassurance - Pan Yi will stay in Hamburg, he will not leave!
…
After taking care of Robertson, Pan Yi's target turned to the midfielder position.
In the first half of the Bundesliga season, this can be regarded as an old problem.
The partnership between Casemiro and Makoto Hasebe performs well in most cases, but when they encounter some teams with better skills and require stronger physical confrontation, some problems will be exposed.
Casemiro is okay, but Makoto Hasebe is indeed a little weaker in this aspect.
In terms of switching from defense to offense, neither of them did a very good job.
Makoto Hasebe's shot is not bad, but it is not up to the world's top level.
If you include long-range shooting and breakthrough skills, they will be even less able to reach a higher level.
Hamburg currently relies heavily on De Bruyne's organization. Once the opponent team focuses on guarding Tintin, Hamburg will also have problems in offensive organization.
So Pan Yi thought about getting a hexagonal warrior in the winter transfer window to make up for this shortcoming.
A good offensive and defensive midfielder, a true "Box to Box" midfielder!
The first thing Pan Yi thought of was Bayern's midfielder Gustavo.
Gustavo's outstanding ability also meets Pan Yi's requirements for a defensive midfielder.
After Javi Martinez joined this season, Gustavo's position at Bayern became slightly awkward.
In order to seek a stable position in the Brazilian national team, he is already looking for a transfer. It is a good time to intercept Hu.
But the problem remains the same.
How can such a genuine Brazilian international who has landed in Europe and was once the main force of European giants be so cheap?
When he joined Bayern from Hoffenheim in the winter window of 2011, his transfer fee was already as high as 17 million euros!
In fact, in Pan Yi's previous life, when Gustavo really left Bayern at the end of this season, Wolfsburg also paid a price of 16 million euros.
Therefore, for Pan Yi, who currently only has a budget of 5 million euros, no, 4.5 million euros, signing Gustavo is already an impossible task.
So Pan Yi turned his attention to another Brazilian.
This is a guy who is still playing in Brazil, but like Casemiro, he is a fringe international player of the Brazilian national team and is somewhat famous.
He is the future Changzhou Hengtai and Barcelona star-"Violent Bird" Paulinho!
Although Paulinho is now 24 years old, he still belongs to an unknown Brazilian second division team Coimbra Sporting.
It was only in recent years that he was loaned to the Brazilian team Corinthians and performed well, winning the Copa Libertadores and Club World Cup on behalf of the team. This allowed him to be called up by the Brazilian national team.
Pan Yi's chance is that Brazilian teams have always been stingy.
Corinthians have rented Paulinho for two years, but they have not paid to buy it out, and they still want to keep having sex for nothing, which has aroused the other party's dissatisfaction.
As long as Pan Yi throws out 4.5 million euros as a showhand at this time, there is still a good chance that he will seize the food from the tiger's mouth!
And if it had been a little later, Corinthians would have gritted their teeth and stamped their feet and actually paid four to five million in real money to buy Paulinho.
A little later, Corinthians will sell Paulinho to Tottenham Hotspur, and then his status will reach 20 million euros...
So, it was better to take action immediately than to take action. Pan Yi went directly to Brazil to find someone to chat with!
…
When Pan Yi returned to Hamburg and introduced his proud deal to the senior management and coaches, he used this written word to introduce Paulinho.
——This is almost a scouting report. The difference is that people report it first and then decide whether to buy it or not. Pan Yi buys it first and then writes the report...
"His playing style can be said to be a bit like Chelsea's Frank Lampard. He often shows incredible talent in the split-second handling of offensive and defensive choices in the midfield."
"His physical fitness is strong and extremely stamina. He has world-class overall perspective, control and tactical literacy on both the offensive and defensive ends. His tireless and efficient running allows him to appear anywhere between the two penalty areas at any time.
place to end the opponent's attack or give the opponent a fatal blow."
"His various skills and attributes are very comprehensive. On the defensive end, he is like a bloodthirsty beast defending every inch of territory in the midfield and backfield. He has extremely imaginative steals and interceptions, and his excellent aerial control ability makes him a team player.
It is an insurmountable barrier that can instantly help the team complete the change from defense to offense."
"World-class defensive performance will naturally bloom in him at all times. His ability to read and control the game as well as his control of space and timing on the court are unparalleled. He can be called a world-class midfield strangler and metronome."
"On the offensive end, Paulinho can perfectly demonstrate the delicacy of Samba football as well as his rich imagination and creativity. Excellent man-ball combined with dribbling and breakthrough skills, and lightning-fast hitting ability, can all be used in
Found on him."
"He is a defensive midfielder, but he can even play as an attacking midfielder. He can sound the clarion call for counterattacks through precise long and short passes, and control the situation of the game through changes in rhythm; he can also use superb personal skills and
The powerful impact tears apart the opponent's entire defense line, and the sharp attack from behind often becomes the key weapon for the team to open up the situation."
"He is also particularly good at powerful long-range shots like precision-guided missiles. He can perform shocking feats of using his super explosive power to send out lever-type blasts to score goals!"
"Finally, Paulinho has strict self-discipline in his personal life and has always stayed away from off-field interference. He can become a training model for the team and the most trusted and recognized player by his teammates!"
"I believe that after Paulinho joins the team, our midfield will undergo qualitative changes in terms of defensive hardness and offensive vitality!"
…
Pan Yi's evaluation is not too exaggerated.
In other words, the praise is a little bit, but not much.
The most valuable thing about Paulinho is his offensive and defensive attributes.
Not to mention defense, he is originally a defensive midfielder.
In Pan Yi's previous life, even when he joined Changzhou Hengtai, Paulinho often had forward shots, long-range guidance, including ultra-long-range free kicks.
His outstanding performance in the Chinese Super League even attracted the attention of La Liga giants Barcelona, who directly paid 40 million euros in liquidated damages to bring him to Barcelona.
This operation proves at least two points:
First, Paulinho has the ability to gain a foothold in a wealthy club; in fact, after arriving in Barcelona, he played 49 games for Barcelona in one season, scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists, and helped the team win La Liga and the Spanish Cup.
champion.
Second, he has excellent professionalism and can maintain his good condition even in a lower-level league like the Chinese Super League, instead of being assimilated by the big dyeing environment.
In other words, Paulinho is Pan Yi's favorite type of player: his technical attributes, physical attributes and mental attributes are all very good!
After he arrives in Hamburg, he can form a new Brazilian international-level defensive midfielder combination with his compatriot Casemiro. Not only is the hardness outstanding, the attack will be upgraded, but the cooperation between them will also be more tacit.
After all, although these two Brazilians are not the main players in the national team, they have played together, and there is no problem with the running-in between them.
The original main force, Makoto Hasebe, can be used as an important rotation. When necessary, these three midfielders can even be sent on the field together to further enhance the midfield sweep.
In this way, Hamburg has been greatly improved in terms of the thickness of the bench and the flexibility of tactical choices.
What Pan Yi has to do now is to train Robertson and Paulinho, who have just joined the team, so that they can become familiar with their tactical system as soon as possible and integrate them into the entire team's combat rhythm.
Of course, this time is still plenty.
Unlike the Premier League, the Bundesliga has a relatively long winter break.
It will not be until January 20, 2013 that Hamburg will usher in the first game of the second half of the season, which is the away game against Nuremberg in the 18th round of the league.
Most teams will assemble from January 1st to January 5th, then train, play warm-up matches, and seize the time to buy and sell players...
But for Pan Yi, who has spent all his 5 million euros budget, this winter transfer period seems to have nothing to do with him?
No, Pan Yi still has a signing plan.
This plan is even very important. Only by completing it can Pan Yi be satisfied with allowing himself and Hamburg to enter the training camp that will start on January 3.
…
As early as a month or two after the start of the season, Pan Yi vaguely felt that the team had some problems with its physical reserves and state adjustment.
It stands to reason that Hamburg's main framework, which is mainly composed of young players, should not have physical problems at such an early stage, even if Pan Yi often uses a pressing style of play.
At that time, Pan Yi felt that the main reasons were the young players' mental problems and lack of experience in allocating physical fitness, so he arranged a rotation.
After paying a certain price for losing points, Pan Yi finally stopped the decline and led Hamburg back on track.
Looking back now, Pan Yi probably knows where the real problem lies.
That is, he has always paid attention to the team's tactical training and technical training, including assistant coaches Inzaghi and Nagelsmann.
But they have overlooked one thing, that is, physical training is equally important!
In terms of training level, there is a gap between Hamburg's physical coaches and AC Milan's coaches.
Or it can be said that not only the executive coaches, but also the club's overall facilities and management have all-round gaps.
After all, this is AC Milan!
This is why Pan Yi rarely felt that players had physical problems when he was in Milan, but something was wrong immediately in Hamburg.
A good physical coach can develop detailed training plans for all players of the entire team during the summer training period, record all detailed data for analysis, and then conduct targeted supplementary training.
For example, a player's daily running distance, sprint distance, number of sprints, time to fatigue, changes in physical fitness after supplementary training...
In this way, the players' physical fitness can be improved step by step and turned into a physical function that can continue to fight in the long league.
Ordinary physical fitness coaches can often only do superficial things, that is, they already look good and can handle recent games.
But if the competition is extremely fierce and the schedule is long, the original shape will be revealed soon.
Nagelsmann's set of high-tech monitoring equipment can only monitor the players' current heart rate and other indicators, but it cannot predict their physical condition in the future, let alone measure the players' physical condition out of thin air.
Physical fitness has improved.
Moreover, a good physical fitness coach can not only improve the physical fitness of the players, but can even play an important role in adjusting the player's condition.
For example, when the team faces an opponent, if the opponent is not a team that presses particularly aggressively or runs particularly aggressively, the fitness coach may suggest that the head coach develop a training plan for the next opponent.
In this training plan, the players' physical fitness will strive to remain in a relatively balanced state, so that Hamburg's players will run more than their opponents in this game, but not by too much.
After all, there is no player who can always run at full strength on the field. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the intensity through training so that the player can perform at a higher running level than his opponent.
The reason is very simple. On average, an opponent's player can only run 10,000 meters. So I only need to run 10,000 meters to stabilize your pressure. There is no need to run another 12,000 meters.
In this way, the team can perfectly display pressing tactics while saving physical energy as much as possible.
This is also the reason why some teams can still remain active even if they reach the later stages of the league.
Pan Yi had only tactically asked players to save energy on the court before, but he had always ignored these practices in daily physical training.
And if a two-pronged approach can be taken, it will definitely be of great help to Hamburg’s future games.
Therefore, it is very important to find a reliable physical trainer.
This will also be Pan Yi's most important signing before the start of winter training, and may even be more important than Robertson and Paulinho to a certain extent!
Of course, as the omniscient and omnipotent time traveler Pan Yi, he already had a suitable candidate in his mind.
Haha, when it comes to physical fitness coaches, how can we avoid that cute bald head...
