"Let's calculate what kind of players I need now and what kind of players I need to sell." Dick stood up and began to pace back and forth in the office. This was his habit, thinking about what kind of players he needed.
players.
He used the cruelest method, which was to first decide on the team's lineup. If he could make up for it, he would buy people to make up for it. If he couldn't make up for it, he would keep the existing players for use. In addition, other players
, don’t want it at all!
"For the goalkeeper position, Lehmann is the main player, Weidenfeller is the substitute, and then it is enough to transfer a goalkeeper from the youth team to be the third goalkeeper... For the other goalkeepers, Laux is not young, Lata Isak and
Although Cushman is young, he has little future prospects. Instead of keeping him on the bench, he might as well transfer him to save some salary." After thinking this way, Dick crossed out the names of three goalkeepers on the player list.
"On the defense line, I only need to keep Warnes and Metzelder as central defenders. Warnes will definitely be the main force, but Metzelder is still a bit young and prone to injuries. At least we need to bring in a good player.
The central defender will play the main role, with Metzelder as the substitute. Madoni is not strong enough, but he is okay as a substitute, and his salary is not high, so just keep him."
The problem of central defenders is easier to solve. Dortmund does not have many central defenders. With the retirement of Kohler, they need to make up the lineup.
"As for the right back position, Ruyter should find a way to retire him. He is 36 years old and can't play for a few years, or he can take a salary cut and serve as a substitute. He is a versatile winger, so it is okay to keep him. Ewa
It's enough to sell Nelson, save salary and funds, and bring in an attacking full-back who can play on the right."
"The left-back Dede can be kept. He is a good left-back. He has no problem playing as the main force, and his salary is not particularly high. Achenbach was Dede's substitute last season. He can continue to play as a substitute this season."
As a player, there is no problem in keeping him. Heinrich can no longer be kept. His condition has declined a lot and his worth is still high."
"The defensive midfielder position... Kyle will stay, and Oliseh and Stevic will be sold. They are both young and have a lot of salary. There is no use in keeping them. Rosicky can drop back and play as a defensive midfielder. He will be a good player in the future."
Having played this position, he can also organize in the deep position and his defensive ability is not bad. However, in this case we also need a midfielder who can run and shoot from long range. This is a problem that needs to be solved in the transfer market. Substitute
It's not bad. Klinger and Gemmell are all young players with certain abilities and can play as substitutes. Their wages are not high."
"As for the attacking midfielder, Ado and Reina are not that good. Ado also occupies the foreign aid quota. Let's find a way to sell them off. The combined salary of the two of them is almost two million.
, the attacking midfielder can be recruited, Ricken and Everton can serve as substitutes, and if Rosicky retreats, then a good attacking midfielder must be introduced."
"The forward line... needs major surgery. Amoruso and Jankoler, these two high-paid players can no longer be retained, and Herrlich cannot be retained either. He is old and has average strength. If he plays as a lone forward,
, I just need to bring in a forward with excellent scoring ability. I don’t need to keep Amoruso and Jankoler, and neither does Herrlich.”
After some calculations, those who were sentenced to death were Evanilson, Amoruso, Jan Koler, Oliseh, Stevich, Addo, Heinrich, Reina, Herrlich, and Lau.
There are twelve players including Kes, Lata Isaac and Cushman, and their salaries are not low. However, Evan Nelson, Amoruso, and Jankoler performed quite well last season, and they are still considered worthy now.
They were in their prime, and they must be able to sell for a lot of money. The other nine people are here to clear their salaries. You must know that the total salary of the nine of them is almost 10 million, plus the salaries of the other three people, if
If these twelve people can be eliminated, Dortmund can immediately save more than 18 million in salary!
Coupled with Kohler's retirement, the salary that Dortmund needs to spend will immediately be reduced to less than 50 million. This is already a huge improvement for the entire club.
Dortmund spent 70 million euros on salary for the team last season, which was second only to Bayern. This is also the key to their good results. Among them, there is no less than 10 million euros paid to the youth team.
The salary of members, actually the salary expenditure of the first team was 60 million, and now it has been reduced by 20 million. This is already a considerable improvement.
At the same time, Dick will go to discuss with Ruyter. He is getting older and will gradually become a substitute in the new season, and his salary will naturally need to be reduced accordingly. In the past, giving him a high salary was an honor, but now that we have encountered an economic crisis, it is also an honor.
An act of necessity.
Because he is used to playing 4321 at Atletico Madrid, Dick also plans to use this trick after coming to Dortmund. His tactical ability has been shown well enough at Atletico Madrid, so it is naturally more sensible to continue this state.
choose.
In addition to the twenty-six players mentioned above, Dortmund also has six young players, such as two young full-backs and two young central defenders, including young wing attackers such as Metzelder and Odonko.
As well as another young forward, although many of them do not meet Dick's requirements, he can't take care of them now.
The first thing to do is to find a way to sell those players that Dick doesn't need, free up salary and obtain transfer funds. In addition to those three valuable players, the other nine players to be sold will be available immediately.
Notice, the club will no longer have their place in the future, it is best to find a way out on their own. Many of them have not very long contracts, and Dick does not intend to make too much money from them. As long as there is one
If the price is right, you can let them go.
As for Amoruso, Yankel and Evan Nelson, they need to take a roundabout way - Dick's plan is to first ask them to reduce their salary. Amoruso's salary is reduced to two million, and Yankel's salary is
It will be reduced to 1.8 million, and Evan Nelson's salary will be reduced to 1 million. If you agree, you can stay. If you don't agree, then let them enter the transfer market. Their performance last season was good. If
If you want to sell it, you don't have to worry about no one taking it over.
The players that Dick wants to sell are basically older players. For example, Amoruso is now 28 years old. Historically, his performance in the next season will be average. Jan Koller is also 29 years old.
Evan Nelson is younger, 27 years old. Players like them are actually more popular in the transfer market. As long as the price is not too exaggerated, there is no need to worry about where to go.
Dick doesn't care about being called nepotism. Anyway, he never cares about what other people think of him, and he doesn't plan to bring in players from Atletico Madrid. After all, with Dortmund's current financial resources, do they want to poach players from Atletico Madrid?
It's quite difficult, and I know with my knees that Hill will never sell players to him...
It’s just that there are many good players in the world, and there is no need to just go to Atletico Madrid to recruit them.
After figuring out the entire idea clearly, Dick breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled with satisfaction.
He enjoys doing this, controlling the fate of the entire team, and deciding the comings and goings of so many people... Of course, there is a price to pay for having such power. For example, he must achieve some achievements in order to maintain
Such power, otherwise, he would not have maintained such power when he was at Atletico Madrid.
After making several calls, Dick notified the staff of Dortmund's transfer department and asked them to communicate their intentions separately. Nine players were put on the transfer market, and three main players were asked to take a salary cut. The last call was
: "Book me a ticket to Brazil."
When he was at Atletico Madrid, Dick's tactic was 4321. In Dortmund, Dick also planned to use this tactic, but in the two attacking midfield positions, Dick planned to make some changes. The previous Wesson
Both Te and Camoranesi are players who focus more on the wing, and this time Dick's choice is to focus more on the center in these two positions, leaving the wing to the assisting full-back or
It's the lower back that does it.
With no transfer fee on hand, Dick naturally could only make a fuss about the free transfer players first. Although the salaries of free transfer players are generally not low, Dick still has a few tricks up his sleeve, that is, as a player
The reputation built by a top head coach!
During his two years at Atletico Madrid, he was able to win two heavyweight championships each year. This ability to win championships has been recognized. However, although some players are very famous and very powerful, they are not very successful.
What a decent honor, especially the lack of the Champions League honor. As long as Dick can convince the other party, the other party is likely to agree to reduce his salary to join.
The first thing Dick took a fancy to was Okocha, the legendary Nigerian midfielder who had just ended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. This star who made his debut in the Bundesliga had previously played for Paris Saint-Germain for four years. Due to Ronaldinho's joining,
Although the two cooperated well on the court, in order to make way for the younger Ronaldinho, Okocha chose not to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but to spend the end of his career with other teams.
In fact, Okocha is not very old. He is not yet 29 years old. With the physical fitness of African players, he can definitely play at a high level for another year or two. In fact, as Dick knows,
In this period of history, Okocha went to Bolton on a free transfer this summer. In the next four seasons, he played at a very high level at Bolton. As the core of Bolton's midfield, he turned Bolton from a team that was about to
The relegated team was brought into the UEFA Cup. This performance is enough to prove that his current condition is still very good.
And as an African player, his salary is not very high. At least if Dick can clear up enough salary through transfer, then letting Okocha join will not put any pressure on Dortmund's finances.
Before going to Brazil, Dick planned to get Okocha first. A star like him with gorgeous skills and good confrontation ability would be very useful in the Bundesliga. What's more, he had played in Frankfurt for four years before and was not familiar with the situation in the Bundesliga.
They are no strangers to each other. As an attacking midfielder, Okocha is trustworthy enough.
When the next day, the Dortmund club excitedly announced that it had reached an agreement with Dick and that Dick would coach Dortmund, Dick did not appear at the press conference. He had quietly flown to
France.
"Although Dick did not appear here, what I can tell everyone is that Mr. Dick has already started his work in Dortmund. Next, we will see the most powerful Dortmund team composed of Dick!
"Niebom said with a smile at the press conference.
