()The trip to the Netherlands was very successful.
It also brought a big surprise to Su Yun.
This time I went to the Netherlands to personally inspect Shaheen. Shaheen was far more beautiful than Su Yun imagined.
Arrive at Dortmund.
At first, Su Yun didn't have a clear coaching idea.
But Su Yun knew one thing.
Modern football relies on midfielders to win the world. Any mature team needs a core midfielder. Without a metronome player who knows how to control the rhythm, it is impossible for a team to succeed.
No matter how many good players there are, if they don't know how to send and receive freely, they still can't become a strong team.
In other words, it cannot become a mature team.
Therefore, after arriving in Dortmund, Su Yun has been looking for a core midfielder...
This kind of player is hard to find, just like Fabregas of Arsenal, Xavi Alonso of Liverpool, Andrea Pirlo of Milan, and Yaya Toure of Juventus.
These players are an inevitable part of the development of modern football.
The defensive midfielder serves as the core of the midfield.
Su Yun can actually use Williams, because Williams is best suited to play as the core midfielder in big games. But Su Yun already has other arrangements for Williams.
Therefore, Su Yuncai is slowly looking for players who can become the core of Dortmund's midfield in the new season.
After Su Yun first came into contact with Dortmund, he spent several months carefully observing the players of Dortmund's first team.
There is no player who can serve as the core of the midfield.
Kyle was hailed as the "new Beckenbauer" at the time, and was highly praised by everyone at the beginning. However, his development was not as outstanding as the German media expected.
Although Kyle's current strength is not bad, he cannot meet the core midfield strength required by Su Yun.
One by one, Dortmund midfielders were rejected by Su Yun.
Until Su Yun saw the 19-year-old Shaheen, Su Yun thought he had finally found it.
Shaheen is the kind of player he needs.
The conversation with Shaheen was simple.
But in Su Yun's opinion, the effect is very good.
This young man needs to be polished. As long as he is polished successfully, he will surely become one of the most outstanding midfielders of the first generation in European football.
After meeting Shaheen, Su Yun returned to Dortmund.
Dortmund have three league games left.
Su Yun not only watched their training in Dortmund, but also watched three games. He has more and more ideas about Dortmund's first team.
Of course, it's not just Dortmund's games that Su Yun watches.
Because Su Yun will play in the Bundesliga starting next season. Therefore, Su Yun got to know the opponents in the Bundesliga in advance and watched many other teams' games.
There are also some other reasons.
I just want to see the opponent's situation and whether there are good players. Good players that can be introduced to Dortmund.
In addition to watching Dortmund's games and training these days, Su Yun also watches some other Bundesliga games.
Then all that's left is to discuss next season's lineup with Clark.
Dortmund has too many problems right now.
It's probably because there are too many veterans.
Su Yun needs to be cleaned.
This is not Su Yun's intention, but the inevitable development of Dortmund. Dortmund's current financial situation is still not optimistic, and it is absolutely impossible to keep so many veterans at this time.
Su Yun wants to choose.
In fact, Dortmund's current strength is not bad at all.
But there are too many old players and their salaries are too high. Dortmund can no longer afford to pay their salaries, so they can only introduce some young players to replace them.
If the young players introduced cannot play the leading role, then Dortmund's so-called revival plan may completely fail.
Of course, Watzke and Zorc did not make such a decision blindly.
They have seen the huge development of German youth training.
decision will be made.
They believe that the German youth training players are very good and can completely replace the veterans.
In the past few days, Su Yun and Clark were considering what they could stay and what they needed to leave.
After nearly twenty days, we finally came up with a plan. However, this plan still needs to be discussed with Watzke and Zorc.
…………
Because I've been too busy recently.
Although the house Zorc mentioned has been notified to the government, it has not yet been able to be purchased. So Su Yun has been living in the Dortmund Hotel.
On May 29, 2008, Su Yun met with Watzke and Zorc again.
The distribution of power in Dortmund is clear.
Su Yun only pays attention to the team's affairs. Su Yun is fully responsible for the team's training and competition. Including the first team and the youth team, Su Yun is fully responsible for it.
Neither Watzke nor Zorc had any interference in this regard.
But for other matters including transfers, Watzke, Zorc and Su Yun need to discuss and decide together.
Dortmund's revival plan is currently Dortmund's most important.
The cleaning and recruitment of the team is the top priority.
It takes three people to make a decision together.
Su Yun gave the results of his days' work. Both Watzke and Zorc looked at the report very seriously. Su Yun was far more radical than they imagined.
Although they are also relatively radical, they all advocate taking it step by step.
Afraid of big problems with grades.
But Su Yun is different.
In the current first team, Su Yun directly cut off more than half of the players.
It was Zorc who said first: "Su, is this action too big? Will it affect the results of the new season? We Dortmund can no longer withstand the storm."
Su Yun smiled.
"Michelle, do you know what is the biggest characteristic of my coaching for so many years?"
Zorc thought for a while and said: "Stable. Your team rarely has ups and downs."
"Yes. That's it."
Su Yun nodded.
It can be said that Watzke and Zorc spent a lot of energy in order to introduce Su Yun. They have a detailed understanding of Su Yun. Therefore, they can tell the characteristics of Su Yun's coaching at once.
"I will not let the team fluctuate. You can read my report carefully. Although I have made big moves, I already have a defensive line."
"I retained the central axis. With this defensive central axis, as long as there are no problems with the defense, the team will not have any turbulence."
After hearing Su Yun's words, Watzke and Zorc looked at Su Yun's new season report again.
Sure enough, they found it.
The most severe thing Su Yun cut was the offensive line. Almost most of the players on the offensive line were cut off by Su Yun, and all the forwards were kicked out by Su Yun.
Su Yun only left a few players in front.
Florian Klinger, Daniel Gordon, Jakub Blaszczykovsky, Paul Tinga and others were directly abandoned by Su Yun.
Su Yun even planned to sell Paul Tinga as well.
But after thinking about it, I decided to stay.
It's okay to keep a few old players.
After all, Su Yun plans to vigorously use young players in the new season, and will need some veterans to take charge.
Veterans are treasures.
If it weren't for Dortmund's current situation, Su Yun would not have made such a major rectification.
As for the defense, the aging Vaughns and Robert Kovac were given up by Su Yun. Of course, they have to leave, because one is already 35 years old and the other is 33 years old.
Not suitable for Dortmund's development.
However, Su Yun left Dortmund's important defensive line.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller was selected by Su Yun as a very outstanding goalkeeper. The 28-year-old Weidenfeller has just entered the golden age of goalkeepers.
Therefore, Su Yun wanted to focus on keeping him.
Su Yun retained Dede in the defense, and Kyle in the midfield was also a player Su Yun wanted to keep.
"My coaching idea is very simple. First, stabilize the defense. Don't cause turmoil because too many players have been replaced in the new season. As long as there are no problems with the defense, even if there are some problems with our offensive power, it will not make the team too turbulent.
.”
"The defense in the new season will be goalkeeper Weidenfeller, and then there will be Jack Williams and Sebastian Kyle. This is a central axis."
Watzke and Zorc nodded, agreeing with Su Yun's idea.
"But Hummels, I want the club to take him directly. This is a very outstanding central defender."
There is a player that central defender Su Yun admires very much, and he is interested in Bayern Munich's Hummels.
It was January when Su Yun got the Dortmund first-team video, and Su Yun didn't see Hummels at that time.
Therefore, Su Yun had other ideas about Dortmund's defense, especially the transformation of the central defender. But after coming to Dortmund this time, Su Yun fell in love with an extremely young central defender.
Mats Hummels.
This is a player from Bayern Munich's youth training. However, he was loaned to Dortmund because he couldn't get a chance to play at Bayern. He is a player who was loaned to Dortmund this winter.
Therefore, Hummels was not included in the video report Su Yun received previously.
This time I didn’t see Hummels until Su Yun arrived in Dortmund.
Very powerful.
Therefore, Su Yun has obtained a lot of information about Hummels these days.
The more I watch it, the more I like it.
Totally overjoyed.
Su Yun can only say this. Although he is too young, only nineteen years old, so he still has some recklessness. But he is good at heading the ball, stealing well, and has a large defensive coverage area.
Very outstanding.
A typical German defender, and the 19-year-old Hummels is not much worse than Metzelder who was coached by Su Yun.
This is a talented defender.
Even Hummels has good foot skills. Even as a central defender, Hummels is very good at long passes and can pass long passes during counterattacks.
Therefore, Hummels can even play as a defensive midfielder.
Even playing as a defensive midfielder, Hummels is very comfortable.
So Su Yun decided to introduce him completely.
He also gave Zorc a piece of advice.
"Su, do you think Hummels is outstanding?"
Zorc asked Su Yun.
Su Yun nodded. "Michelle, I'm not bragging. Hummels will definitely be the main central defender of the German national team in the future. He will definitely be more outstanding than Metzelder and Per Mertesacker in the future."
.What he lacks now is experience."
"We should act quickly. It will not be easy to act again later."
Zorc nodded.
Zorc is indeed very optimistic about Hummels, but he has never been sure whether to introduce Hummels. Zorc's idea is to rent Hummels for a season first and see how he performs.
If he performs well, he will be introduced; if he performs poorly, he will be returned to Bayern.
With Su Yun's affirmation, Zorc made up his mind.
Dortmund first team.
After Su Yun cut off most of it, very little was left.
Su Yun actually didn't decide who to clear out. Su Yun just circled the players he wanted to keep.
Not many people.
Weidenfeller, Dede, Kyle, Klinger, Gordon, Blaszczykovsky, Paul Tinga, this is what Su Yun has decided to keep.
Except for a few of them, Su Yun's meaning is very simple.
Zorc has full discretion.
Being able to clean them all is Zorc's skill. Of course, in addition to identifying those who must stay, Su Yun also identified completely useless players.
Several veterans were written into this by Su Yun.
Of course that's what it's written, but I guess Zorc won't be able to clean them all. Because some players have high wages and average strength, it's difficult to find buyers.
There are also some players who can stay on as substitutes.
Just like central defender Felipe Santana, although he is not strong enough to be the main player of the team, he is more than enough to serve as a substitute.
Germans work rigorously.
Su Yun finally saw it today.
Although Zorc is usually jovial, he is very serious when working. He discusses the future of every player in Dortmund's first team with Su Yun.
Even if Su Yun has written down a completely useless player, he will discuss some opinions with Su Yun.
There are still some players who can be cleaned, and he also needs to know Su Yun's opinion. Whether they are completely useless or they can still be used as substitutes.
In this way, the three of them discussed it for almost six hours.
Finally a list was finalized.
A big list to clean.
After more than six hours of talking, Su Yun let out a long sigh of relief. Watzke and Zorc are really workaholics, and can even be said to be very rigorous about their work.
Don't waste any detail.
Finally completed such a cleaning list.
The rest is Zorc's business.
Su Yun also wants to see Zorc's ability. See how much money he can ultimately bring to Dortmund by purging so many players. Many of Dortmund's players are valuable now.
Dortmund spent a lot of real money to bring them in before.
Of course I hope to recover a lot of money by cleaning now.
In fact, it’s not just this function.
There are so many first-team players, and their salaries are very high. A lot of them are two million euros, three million euros, and some even have an annual salary of four million.
They could bear it before, but now they can't.
Dortmund's total salary is now more than 45 million euros, which is the total salary of the players. It doesn't seem to be much at all. In the Premier League, it is at most the level of a mid-level team.
But wages in the Bundesliga are already low, and wages like Dortmund's are not considered low.
Three years ago, Dortmund even borrowed debt to pay salaries. Recently, the economic situation has improved slightly, and they can afford such salaries. Dortmund's current revenue per season has just exceeded 100 million.
Half of the money requires negative wages.
But once Zorc successfully purges players this time, Dortmund's salary next season will be about 10 million euros less.
