As soon as Pan Yi said these words, everyone in the press conference was shocked.
Even Yachov was very surprised.
When he signed a contract with Pan Yi, he did not mention specific performance requirements.
After all, Hamburg this season is just barely avoiding relegation, and Pan Yi is a young head coach who is coaching independently for the first time. Yachov feels that Pan Yi still needs to be given some time.
Therefore, in Yachov's mind, it is considered a success if he can secure a foothold in the Bundesliga and wait for an opportunity to develop towards the midstream.
And if Pan Yi really fails and Hamburg is still stuck in the quagmire of relegation, then there will be nothing to say about terminating his contract early.
But what I didn't expect was that Pan Yi actually proposed such a big goal in such a public place!
From a relegation team to a Champions League spot, that is, entering the top four?
This span is too big!
Yachov was a little confused, but the reporters were excited.
This is big news!
Someone asked Pan Yi: "Hamburg is only ranked 15th in the Bundesliga this season and barely survived relegation. Why are you so confident that you can enter the Champions League this season? Is this the management's request for you? You don't think it is too difficult.
Is it done?"
Pan Yidan replied: "It is not a request from the management. As I said just now, the relegation zone is not where Hamburg should be. The top four is the goal I set for myself. With such a goal, the players and I
Only then will I be more motivated.”
The reporter asked again: "You mean, this goal is not 100% achievable?"
Pan Yi glanced at Yahov: "Yes, after all, the season has not started yet, and I am not a god. But as long as our entire team cooperates sincerely, as long as the management and players trust me, I will be sure
You can create such a miracle!"
This is Pan Yi's emphasis on Yachov, and it is an emphasis in front of the public.
After all, we promised well in advance, but it is very common in this world to take off your pants and fart as soon as you start working.
Pan Yi can be said to have said something ugly beforehand. If the management goes back on its promise then, Pan Yi cannot guarantee this result.
Of course Yahov understands.
This was something that had been mentioned repeatedly since their first contact with Pan Yi. He naturally knew that this was very important to Pan Yi.
So, he also raised his voice to express his attitude in front of the public, which also gave Pan Yi a reassurance:
"In the new season, we will give Mr. Pan Yi maximum support, and we will try our best to meet his requirements..."
After the press conference, major media in Germany immediately reported the news.
When this news spread to the Dragon Kingdom, the fans of the Dragon Kingdom were even more excited.
Although Pan Yi just won the Triple Crown in Milan, he was an assistant coach after all.
No matter how much you do, the greatest credit still belongs to the head coach.
But it’s different now.
Although I went to Hamburg, which is far behind Milan in terms of quality, he is still the head coach of an established team!
Coupled with Pan Yi's bold words at the press conference, it made Dragon Kingdom fans even more excited.
Many people also said that they have been Hamburg fans for 30 years!
Such a trend of public opinion reached the ears of Chairman Yakov, and he couldn't help but feel happy for his wise decision.
After all, with Milan's pearls at the forefront, and now that Pan Yi is in his team, the home attendance rate in the new season will definitely increase, and even the billboards and broadcast rights on the sidelines should also be secured.
Regardless of whether they win or not, whether they can really enter the top four, Hamburg will be able to make more money.
In just one day of signing the contract with Pan Yi, Hamburg has gained such great exposure, especially with so many people paying attention in the Dragon Country. This can also lay the foundation for Hamburg to expand into the Dragon Country domestic market.
Yahov couldn't help but feel happy.
……
Two days later, Hamburg held its first meeting with the new coach.
Since the team is still on vacation, the only people present are chairman Yachov, chief scout Clemens, Pan Yi and Inzaghi.
But this is enough.
Due to Pan Yi's existence, he actually holds the position of manager or even director of many teams. Including negotiating with the players, he can also decide whether to go himself or let others go.
Therefore, coupled with the chairman and scouts, a basic decision-making center layer has been formed.
The main reason is that Pan Yi has repeatedly expressed the need to rejuvenate Hamburg, so Yachov also wants to hold such a meeting as soon as possible to prepare for signings or players leaving the team for the new season.
Of course, for the team, the sooner it can be carried out, the better.
If the personnel are determined early, the tactics can be practiced and familiarized early, and the running-in among the players will be better.
In fact, although the new season will not start until the end of August, the preparations for many teams started right after the league ended in June.
"Pan Yi, do you have any goals for signings in the new season?"
At the meeting, Yahov showed enough respect for Pan Yi and asked him such a question first.
But Pan Yi is not in a hurry to express his opinions.
He wants more players...
So Pan Yi turned to Clemens: "I want to hear the opinion of the chief scout first."
These words made both Yachov and Clemens feel quite comfortable.
It seems that Pan Yi is not as domineering as they thought.
Think about it, if Pan Yi handled everything by himself, wouldn't a large number of employees in the team be unemployed?
Clemens flipped through a folder on the desktop, cleared his throat and said:
"Our offense this season is very poor. According to analysis, it is mainly due to the lack of capable players in the offensive midfield position."
"Whether it is Jacopo Sala or Teshe, what they are better at is the deeper position in the midfield."
"Therefore, our focus is mainly on the selection of offensive midfielders."
"It just so happens that Van der Vaart has gradually lost the trust of the head coach at Tottenham and is seeking a transfer."
"This star, who has played 99 times for the Dutch national team, has also played for our team for three years and was the captain. His competitive status is still good after inspection, and there will be no problem in integrating into the team."
"The transfer fee shouldn't be too outrageous. Tottenham currently has an offer of 20 million euros, and it's still negotiable..."
Pan Yi smiles.
Sure enough, just as he expected, Hamburg's first transfer target is Van der Vaart.
From a burger perspective, this is indeed a very good deal.
The old players have returned, the experienced national players have solved the team's chronic problems, and the price is quite reasonable...
But now that Pan Yi is here, it’s different.
He shook his head and said firmly: "I don't agree."
