Chapter 214 It's not too much to carry an AK47 to watch the game
Chapter 214 It’s not too much to bring the AK47 to watch the game.
Just a few days after the Bundesliga ended, Pan Yi started preparations for another job.
That's summer transfer.
This is his habit, which is to prepare player transactions in advance as quickly as possible instead of waiting until the transfer window officially opens.
Otherwise, the time will be delayed, and some good players have already agreed on their next destination, and you will be very passive when you make a move.
Determining the lineup as soon as possible will of course be of great benefit to Hamburg's season preparations. It will allow the new players to use enough pre-season preparation time to adapt to Pan Yi's tactics and adapt to Pintus' devilish physical training.
This is of course also very important. After the winter window of last season, the improvement in physical fitness of Hamburg players is obvious to all.
Therefore, new players must also keep up in order to have enough physical reserves to prepare for the new season.
The first is the transfer of players.
Schalke 04 has always been interested in Hamburg's vice-captain Ogo, and has long proposed a loan + buyout plan to Hamburg for next season.
Since the arrival of Robertson in the winter window, Ogo has lost his main position, so he is also looking for a transfer to get more playing opportunities.
Pan Yi didn't have any objections to this deal.
Ogo's offensive ability is indeed not that good, and there is a certain gap with the requirements for full-backs in Hamburg's tactical system.
And if Ogo leaves, Robertson actually has a suitable substitute, and that is former German international Janssen.
As a winger, he can play all positions along the left wing: left winger, left midfielder, left back...
His speed, dribbling and passing abilities are all better than Ogo's.
In this way, players who can play multiple positions can be more flexible in arrangements and are more suitable to stay than Ogo.
Then the one who will definitely leave is Swedish forward Berry.
His contract expired at the end of this season, and he did not ask for a contract extension even though he could no longer play in the main team, so that he could enter the transfer market as a free agent and obtain a new contract that was more beneficial to him.
Therefore, Pan Yi must also find a replacement for Berry in this summer's transfer market to serve as Vardy's substitute.
Although Hamburg's forward group, such as Son Heung-min and Wu Lei, can actually play the role of center forward, when Pan Yi sometimes switches to a double forward, these two will often move to the center.
However, the abilities and characteristics of these players are actually a bit single, that is, they are all speed-oriented, but they are not good at fighting for the top in the middle, or being able to serve as a fulcrum like Milan's Ibrahimovic.
Therefore, Pan Yi also wants to take advantage of Berry's departure from the team to find a substitute for a big center with a different style. This can also enrich the team's style of play and avoid being helpless when being targeted.
In addition, there are some players who have relatively few playing opportunities and who, in Pan Yi's view, have not reached the Champions League level, such as defenders Bruma and Mancion, midfielders Sala, Shelbrae, etc.
Although they are all substitutes, due to Hamburg's outstanding performance this season, these players will also have some opportunities to perform in the later stages, and there are still many teams interested in them.
For example, PSV Eindhoven is interested in Dutch player Bruma, while Verona also wants to bring Sala back to Italy.
These can only be discussed slowly with interested teams.
There are also a few players who have been staying in the reserve team and can't even make the first-team substitute list, such as forwards Sova, Sternberg, midfielder Ingresso, etc. They can be sold if they can, but if they can't, they can be sold.
If you lose, be prepared to terminate the contract, so you don't have to stay in the team and waste salary.
As for substitute goalkeeper Neuhaus, his competitive level is also declining at the age of 35 this year, and he will definitely not reach the level that Pan Yi dreams of.
But he had a high professional ethics, worked diligently in training, and was willing to serve as a substitute for Navas, so he was kept.
In addition, there is a veteran Czech goalkeeper Drobny who is usually placed in the reserve team, but due to his ability, he can also play as a substitute in the Bundesliga.
Anyway, the position of goalkeeper is quite special. As long as Navas is not seriously injured, Pan Yi doesn't need to worry too much. Basically, these two can take over.
In short, on the premise of meeting the registration rules for next season's Champions League (4+4 household registration book), anyone who wants to leave can leave.
After the list of players leaving the team is roughly determined, Pan Yi's position as a player to be transferred will be relatively clear.
In addition to a center substitute, he also needs to add 1-2 midfielders and 1-2 defenders.
Perhaps a winger is also needed, because Janssen, the original winger substitute, may appear more at left back in the new season.
Since after selling the players, Pan Yi may have about 45 million to 50 million in funds that can be used, he still wants to make some big deals this summer.
After all, we are playing in the Champions League!
It would be great if we could recruit a few veterans who have played in the Champions League to lead the young players in the team.
However, before Pan Yi could start substantial operations, some news came from Italy.
That is news related to AC Milan.
Since Berlusconi resigned as Italian Prime Minister in November 2011, his family business has encountered a lot of troubles and has even been involved in some criminal cases.
Coupled with the decline in Italy's overall economic situation and the poor management of Berlusconi Group, AC Milan's financial situation is also deteriorating.
Even "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Gazzetta dello Sport" and many other Italian media quoted news from Bloomberg in the United States, saying that Bayern was preparing to sell AC Milan!
After the news was exposed, AC Milan also quickly issued an official response. Finnivest, a company owned by Lao Bei, emphasized that such news was just rumors and had no basis.
Despite this, an irrefutable fact is that Berlusconi's investment in Milan has been far less than before, and he has even begun to prepare to sell stars.
Among them are rumors that they are going to sell Ibrahimochi and Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain in a package, and they have even reached an agreement early.
This thing that would have happened in the summer of 2012 in Pan Yi's previous life was delayed after Milan won the Triple Crown, but after a fruitless 2012-2013 season, it will eventually happen.
The economy is indeed the basis that determines the superstructure!
Pan Yi's time travel brought temporary good results, but it could only cover up temporary problems.
If the root causes are not resolved, these problems will eventually erupt.
Therefore, Pan Yi decided to suspend his original aggressive style in the transfer market and instead wait and see.
If a big supermarket like Milan were to open, wouldn't the cheap and plentiful goods there be more delicious than shopping for high-end goods outside?
You know, even heavyweight world-class superstars like Ibrahimovic and his sister-in-law can support the central axis of a team. When they were packaged and sold to Paris, they only sold for about 60 million euros.
This is the embodiment of getting ripped off when you are in urgent need of money.
Leaving aside the 30-year-old Ibrahimovic who is still very capable, Thiago Silva, who is in his prime, captain of the Brazilian national team and regarded by many as the world's number one central defender, cannot be sold today.
Starting with 80 million?
List a few examples for comparison.
When Maguire moved to Manchester United in 2019, the transfer fee was 87 million euros;
When De Ligt moved to Juventus in the same year, the transfer fee was 85.5 million euros;
Fofana, who has yet to make a name for himself, will move to Chelsea in 2022 for a transfer fee of 80 million euros;
If inflation is too recent, David Luiz’s transfer from Chelsea to Paris in 2014 also reached 50 million euros, and Mangala’s transfer from Porto to Manchester City also reached 45 million euros.
What kind of thing is Mangala? And Thiago Silva is the best central defender in the world!
Coupled with Ibrahimovic, who has been "third in the world" for many years and has his own system, the total price is only 60 million euros, which shows how cost-effective this deal is.
Therefore, there is definitely nothing wrong with Pan Yi's decision to wait to go shopping in Milan.
What's more, the "future stars" of Milan have also worked under Pan Yi and are very familiar with Pan Yi's tactical system. They can connect seamlessly. There is no better choice than this.
Of course, Pan Yi wouldn't just wait.
His decision to buy some substitutes for the rotation will not change.
The only center that Milan can use is Ibrahimovic, and now that he is being targeted by Paris, the chances of winning against them are definitely not high.
And if you buy Ibrahimovic, do you think he will be used as a substitute? The salary is too high to support it. Let’s talk about it. Be careful that this taekwondo black belt will kick you in the face.
So Pan Yi's goal is a little demon.
A little demon known as "Serbian Vieri"...
…
May 19, Belgrade, Serbia.
Fires shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed.
There's a war going on here!?
No, it's just a ball game.
A match between Partizan Belgrade and Red Star.
But although it is not a war, it is better than a war.
This was Pan Yi's first feeling sitting at the guerrilla stadium.
The fans were no longer visible in the stands opposite. Their figures were obscured by smoke and sparks, and only a few waving flags emerged from the "volcano".
The deafening singing and cheering also made Pan Yi's eardrums buzz.
The atmosphere of Bundesliga games is considered to be the best in Europe. Whether it is the People's Park Stadium or the Westfalenstadion, Pan Yi has seen the superb on-site atmosphere created by the fans.
But compared to here...it really pales in comparison.
Pan Yi even regretted why he came to watch such a live game in person.
He always suspected that a missile would suddenly fly out of the fire, hit the stand where he was, and then blow him up into the sky.
This is truly one of the most popular derbies in the world!
Sometimes, you can even remove "one".
Because this derby can be really deadly sometimes!
The Balkans, known as the "Balkan powder keg", is complicated by various factors such as religion, race, and region.
Under such a premise, their football here is always unclearly related to these factors.
Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, has a glorious football history during the Yugoslav era, with Red Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade being the two strongest teams.
The Red Star team was established by an organization called the "Anti-*** Youth Solidarity Union", which has a strong Serbian nationalist flavor and believes that Yugoslavia should be entirely controlled by Serbia.
The Partisans were established by the Yugoslav People's Army Sports Association and had a military background. They supported Serbia becoming part of Yugoslavia.
Due to their different political beliefs, the two teams have been hostile since their establishment. The game between them is also known as the "Eternal Derby".
With the disintegration of Yugoslavia and then the Yugoslav Federation, Belgrade football lost its glory of the past——
You know, the Red Star team is a team that has won the European Champions League! Now it is difficult to even squeeze into the Champions League group stage stably.
However, the conflicts and contests between the Red Stars and the guerrillas have never stopped.
As the Belgrade Derby approaches, it is undoubtedly a red alert for the safety of the entire city.
The fireworks in the sky and the police force that maintained order at all times made this derby also known as the "cruel derby" by fans.
Fights, arson, chaos and other disharmonious words will be staged in the stands when the two teams compete, and even large-scale bloodshed often occurs.
In such a situation, the military had to intervene. It can be said that the excitement of the fans in the Belgrade Derby was really no worse than that of the players on the field.
This derby can be said to be everything to Serbia.
So while Pan Yi was watching the ball, he would also glance worriedly at the opposite stand where the flames were the brightest from time to time.
Even if the missile is too big, they may not be able to bring it in, but as a fan of Partizan Belgrade, it’s not too much to bring an AK47 to watch the game, right?
Fortunately, the fans don't seem ready to fight now.
They were cheering for the players on the court.
Especially the number 9 player wearing the black and white home jersey.
In a guerrilla wing attack just now, he successfully overpowered the opponent's center back in the penalty area and blasted the ball into the opponent's goal.
He is also the target of Pan Yi's trip - Mitrovic!
He is not yet 19 years old this year, but he emerged from the youth training system of Partizan Belgrade two years ago and gradually became a main force in the first team.
In the past two seasons, he made a total of 42 appearances and scored 18 goals.
Especially this season, he helped Partizan beat Red Star and won the Serbian Super League championship ahead of schedule!
Now Mitrovic's height has reached 188cm, his weight is more than 90kg, and his body is very strong.
On the court, Mitrovic's technical characteristics are very distinctive. He is a stand-up center player who can assume the fulcrum role in the frontcourt.
At the same time, he has smart movement. During the attack, he can often use his movement to pick up mistakes.
Of course, Mitrovic's sense of smell in front of the goal is also very keen. He has a strong ability to grab points, and his strong body makes him very dominant in the penalty area.
Although his personal abilities are relatively simple, with almost all his goals coming from the penalty area, this alone is enough to make him an outstanding center player.
It is precisely because of these technical characteristics that he is affectionately called "Serbian Vieri" by Serbian fans.
This is why Pan Yi came here.
After entering modern football, the abilities of many center players have become more and more comprehensive. Players with relatively single functions like Mitrovic are actually not that common anymore.
However, this does not mean that the stand-up center has no value.
On the contrary, as long as they are used properly, this type of player can still display a strong scoring ability.
In this season's games, Pan Yi encountered some situations where the opponent set up a bus, which made Hamburg's offensive space too compressed, making it difficult to achieve ideal cooperation in the frontcourt.
And if you have a player with excellent header ability like Mitrovic, you often don’t need too complicated routines during the attack. You only need to kick from the bottom line or at a 45-degree angle and cross to the penalty area, and the rest will be done. The task can be left to Mitrovic to complete.
Although this tactical style is relatively simple, for Mitrovic, who is physically strong and has accurate predictions, it can bring significant results.
In Pan Yi's previous life, players with distinctive characteristics like Mitrovic would certainly not be let go by European scouts.
Shortly after the end of this season, he was taken away by the Belgian giant Anderlecht, and then quickly bought out by the Premier League's Newcastle United for a high price (approximately 15 million euros) due to his outstanding performance.
His performance at Newcastle United was pretty good. After two seasons, he was bought by Fulham for more than 30 million euros and began to follow Fulham up and down the Premier League. The Champions League and the Premier League run back and forth.
He has always maintained a good scoring efficiency, and he even scored 43 goals in one English Championship season!
Such terrifying figures also prove that in the English Championship, where the technical level is relatively low, he is a real killer. At this time, he even got the nickname "Mi Shen".
Of course, Pan Yi likes Mitrovic not only because he can work at high altitude, but also because he has strong ability to fight in the penalty area and grab points.
In the latter part of his British career, Mitrovic also developed good running ability and of course a very good shooting success rate.
Mitrovic's ability to take the ball with his back is also very stable. When receiving a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, he has enough ability to deal with the defense.
He has excellent shooting skills and is very threatening in any position in the penalty area. Even if he takes the ball with his back and immediately turns around to score, Mitrovic is still capable of scoring.
In other words, not just high balls, as long as he gets the ball in the penalty area, he can find opportunities to score and help the team score goals.
In addition, Mitrovic has an accurate ability to judge where the ball will land, and he also has a strong awareness of getting in behind. He can successfully score the ball without being offside, which is one of his biggest threats in the penalty area. at.
This is an important reason why he was able to gain a foothold in the Premier League and also occupy a main position in the Serbian national team, which is full of strong players.
Therefore, although Mitrovic is definitely not as good as Vardy in terms of comprehensive ability now, he will definitely be a very useful addition to Hamburg's forward line!
On the premise that Hamburg will fight on the third line next season, Mitrovic will also get a lot of playing opportunities.
The young man is practicing leveling under Pan Yi's guidance, and if his value increases, his value will definitely only increase. It will definitely not be a problem to at least double or triple it.
Pan Yi was able to enter this smoke-filled stadium to watch the game today because he had already negotiated Mitrovic's transfer agreement with the top management of the Partizan team and was let in as a guest.
Otherwise, how could he, a Longguo native from Germany, get tickets for the Belgrade Derby?
This is truly a hard-to-get vote!
Since Anderlecht was already paying attention to Mitrovic at this time, but was still bargaining with Partizan, Pan Yi simply offered 3 million euros in cash + 3 million in installments, for a total transfer fee of 6 million.
, and knocked him down directly.
In any case, Pan Yi has always been more generous when it comes to transactions that won't lead to losses, and he doesn't bother to quarrel with the other party.
As for why he chose to pay in installments this year despite having a huge sum of around 50 million to "squander"...
Why don’t we have to wait for the AC Milan supermarket to open?
That’s where there are really all kinds of big fish.
…
From time to time bursts of warm applause erupted from the stands.
For every shot Mitrovic made and every successful aerial challenge, the fans of Partizan Belgrade did not hesitate to give their applause.
Fans certainly have a preference for this outstanding young player produced by his own youth training.
But as an Eastern European team, the fans obviously understand that a team like theirs cannot keep Mitrovic.
Due to his outstanding performance this season, many teams from Belgium, Eredivisie, and the Portuguese Super League have been eyeing him.
Therefore, the opportunities to watch him perform at Guerrilla's home court are becoming less and less, and fans also cherish every game he can watch live.
At the end of the game, Partizan defeated their rival Red Star 1:0 thanks to the only goal scored by Mitrovic.
Mitrovic walked off the field with a smile on his face. He was slightly out of breath, but his face looked very excited.
"Well done, kid!"
The coach and other players also came over to congratulate him on his wonderful performance.
Although he only scored one goal, Mitrovic's performance was eye-catching.
He won almost all high-altitude confrontations and did not lose the ball in the entire game, which also played a very good fulcrum role.
Although he is not yet 19 years old, he is already the pride of the guerrillas!
At this moment, a familiar figure came from the sidelines, that was the manager of Partizan Belgrade.
Beside him, there was a handsome oriental man.
Mitrovic and everyone around him looked at it with curiosity, because strangers rarely came here.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Pan Yi, the head coach of Hamburg. He hopes that you can join Hamburg. You can have a good talk later."
As soon as the manager finished speaking, the place suddenly became silent.
Mitrovic and his friends were all stunned.
Hamburger?
The same Hamburg team that beat Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund?
Bundesliga runner-up this season?
And the Pan Yi in front of him...
Obviously he is the young coach of the Dragon Kingdom who led Milan and Hamburg to create various miracles!
