(The main content of the previous chapter 215 is that the protagonist once again rejected the invitation of the Football Association at home, but I don’t know where it crossed the line and was blocked... Let’s wait for it to be released. Tell friends who haven’t watched it to avoid the plot.
Can't connect. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the main line.)
Pan Yi stayed in China until late June before setting off back to Hamburg.
July 1st is the start of Hamburg’s new season training. Of course, he must return to Hamburg before this time to make his preparations.
The Football Association matter was naturally revealed. After Pan Yi explained the relevant pros and cons to his parents, they understood it.
What parent doesn’t want their children to do well?
Since there is really no future in staying in the country, it is better to let the children work hard outside!
During this time at home, Pan Yi was certainly not completely idle.
First of all, he has been keeping in touch and communicating with the players to understand their latest ideological trends.
After all, the summer window is about to open, and Hamburg’s players have performed so well this season. It is almost impossible for no team to seduce them.
Temptation is everywhere!
But Pan Yi is ambitious for the new season, and the players feel it.
Pan Yi is doing big things, and the players all want to follow him to do big things, so basically no one has thought about leaving.
Especially the main players.
They also knew very well that Pan Yi valued them very much and designed many tactics based on their technical characteristics to unleash their full potential.
And if they really go to other teams, they may not be able to fully display their full strength.
Moreover, Pan Yi also urged the club to satisfy the treatment of some players, and took the initiative to increase the salaries that should be increased.
For example, Son Xingmin, who has been in the first team for three years, has his weekly salary directly increased to 80,000 euros.
This is already the team’s maximum salary.
This is already a very good salary even in the Bundesliga.
Even in a team like Bayern, a weekly salary of 80,000 can still be in the middle of the pack, almost the same as Toni Kroos.
By the way, the current maximum salary at Bayern is Robbery, both of whom have a weekly salary of almost 200,000 euros.
Renewing the contract with Sun Xingmin also means to set an example for the team and is also an inspiration to other players.
As long as you perform well, the club will naturally take the initiative to increase your salary and renew your contract without you mentioning it!
Of course, Sun Xingmin is special. In addition to having been in the team for a little longer and performing well, he is also a real prince of the Hamburg youth training.
Therefore, other players who have just joined for a year or half a year will naturally not sign new contracts so quickly, otherwise the burden on the club will be too great.
Players' salaries account for the vast majority of club expenses!
Assuming that the average weekly salary of each player is 50,000 euros, the annual salary is about 2.5 million euros. Counting 20 players in the first team, 50 million euros are spent here.
That's it, not counting the salaries of coaches and staff, as well as various expenses for reserve teams, youth teams, and venues.
If it is too high, it will be very unaffordable for small clubs.
Why does Milan want to sell people?
For example, Yin Bu's weekly salary reaches 300,000 euros, and there are many people in the team with a weekly salary of more than 100,000 euros. Player salary expenditures alone exceed 100 million a year.
This is why even though Milan won the Triple Crown and received a lot of bonuses, they still couldn't stand it when their investment was reduced.
Even if you can win one year, you won't be able to win the next year! Unless you can win the Triple Crown every year.
Not long after returning to Hamburg, Pan Yi really heard the news that Berlusconi could no longer stand it!
The agreement to package and sell Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain has entered the substantive stage of operation, and many Milan players have been placed on the transfer market, waiting for price.<
/p>
And the better news is that some of these players are actually not too expensive.
After a slow start in Serie A last season, Allegrith thought about it and felt that it was because the players Pan Yi left behind were not suitable for the new tactics he designed, which led to the consecutive defeats.
So he began to organize his life.
In terms of basic formation, he did not change Pan Yi's 433 system. After all, he was used to it after a year.
In defense, Allegri basically abandoned Van Dijk.
He still feels that Van Dijk is still too young and not experienced enough as a central defender, and his defense is sometimes too rough.
So he used new players, the central defender combination of Zapata and Thiago Silva from Colombia, plus the original two full-backs of Desilio Abate, to form a new defense system. p>
In the midfield, Ajiang used the "civilian and military doubles", that is, Montolivo and Muntari, coupled with the matching method of veteran Ambrosini, and in his eyes, he was thin and lacked the ability to dominate the air.
The special team was excluded from the main lineup.
The work on the forward line is relatively bold. Except for center Yin Bu and left winger Mane, Allegri moved Boateng, who originally played in midfield, to the front line, replacing Salah.
Come and play another winger position.
The reason is that it is enough to have Mane's breakthrough point. Now Milan's forwards need more hardness and impact.
What’s even more outrageous is that Alaigri’s attack using various dark and hard tactics is really effective!
After winning several consecutive rounds and getting rid of the shadow of several losing streaks at the beginning of the season, Allegri also firmly believes that his lineup is the most suitable for the current Milan tactics!
So it was used until the end of the season.
Even though all four major players were empty-handed in the end, even though they were swept out by Barcelona 4:0...
But at least we still finished third in the league and didn’t fall out of the Champions League, right?
The direct consequence of Ah Jong's actions, in addition to the decline in performance, is the decline in the value of players such as Salah, Kante, and Van Dijk.
They were unknown before entering Milan, but after playing for one season, their valuation in Germany skyrocketed.
But after returning to the bench, the worth of these people will definitely not be high, at least not ridiculously high.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
So...hehe, now is the best time for Pan Yi to take action!
……
"Pan Yi wants to buy four of our players for 20 million?"
When Galliani heard the news from Baresi at the Milanello training base, he jumped up.
"Why didn't he rob the bank?" Galliani fumed.
Pan Yi has already sent a more formal offer to Milan.
Salah, Kanter, Van Dijk, and Aubameyang, the total asking price is 20 million euros.
Although these four people are currently unable to play the main role in Milan, this offer is indeed a bit insulting.
After all, during Milan's Triple Crown season, these people all performed brilliantly, and their values were also rising at that time.
After a year on the bench, although their values have declined, it is still not a problem to sell each of them for more than 10 million.
Even Aubameyang, although he has been a rotation player in two seasons, because Allegri seems to prefer his technical characteristics, he is more inclined to send him on the court most of the season instead of
Salah.
In other words, according to the market price, these four people must sell for about 40 million!
But now, Pan Yi has only offered 20 million, which is almost half the price...
Seeing Galliani losing his temper, Baresi stood aside awkwardly, dumbfounded.
He knew that he would have to talk to Pan Yi after all.
He understands Milan's current situation and also knows Galliani's current mood.
First, with Italy's economic downturn, then the glory of the Mini World Cup is no longer there, and Berlusconi's focus is no longer on the team.
But as he gets older, none of his five children are interested in taking over.
Because for the business empire, Milan at that time was just a big toy that needed to continue to burn money, and this toy was only liked by their father.
What they want to take over is a money-making tool, not a money-burning toy!
Therefore, with the Berlusconi family's investment in Milan decreasing year by year, this year they are preparing to sell Thiago Silva and Yin Bu in a package to Paris. This also marks that Lao Bei has officially begun to shrink investment.
.
Milan's ambitions are gone and they no longer seek improvement, but Galliani is still at the club and he still needs to consider the team.
He wants to recover some funds by selling players as much as possible to support the club's operations.
But selling players is not that easy.
World-class stars with high reputations like Yin Bu and Thiago Silva will of course attract the favor of bigger clubs, and it will be easier to sell them at a good price.
But now everyone knows that Milan is in urgent need of selling people for cash, so everyone is not in a hurry to make a move, but will look at the situation to lower the price.
Even Yin Bu and his sister-in-law did not actually sell for a particularly good price when the wealthy Paris Saint-Germain took action, let alone the other less famous players in the team.
Players like Kante, Van Dijk, and Salah that everyone thinks are "flash in the pan", even if some teams are interested in them, they are a little worried (such as Milan Pato).
After all, it is very common in world football for young players to be bought back but not played at all!
In order to reduce risks, they will also choose to use lower prices to test and inquire. In fact, there has never been a formal quotation.
In other words, Pan Yi’s four-person package quotation is the most direct and straightforward in recent times!
Therefore, Galliani is still angry, but he still has to talk to Pan Yi.
He is the only one who knows the best!
……
"Aubameyang can't be sold, you can ask a higher price for the other three." On the phone, Galliani said straight to the point.
"Oh?" Pan Yi first asked a question, but Galliani soon explained what he meant.
The biggest difference between Aubameyang and the other three is that he is a product of Milan's youth training, which is what the fans consider "one of their own."
Unlike "mercenaries" like Van Dijk, fans often have deeper feelings for youth training players.
Especially a club like Milan, which has always regarded "loyalty" as a very important team creed, hopes that there will be more stories of one man, one city like Maldini and Baresi in the team.
Therefore, even if Milan's current situation is very difficult, Galliani still hopes to keep Aubameyang, including youth training players like De Sciglio, so that Milan fans can feel some comfort.
Of course, from Pan Yi's perspective, Aubameyang is not absolutely necessary.
When he was in Milan, Aubameyang was just a surprise player. In a tactical sense, he was actually not as useful as Sun Xingmin now.
He previously proposed to pack four people, just because he was cheap now, so he bought it, and then we will see if he can also play in the rotation.
Now that Galliani doesn't want to sell, Pan Yi naturally won't force it.
So, he said simply: "In this case, 25 million for three people, is it interesting enough?"
"Ahem!" Galliani coughed dryly, "People outside don't understand the value of these people. You have taken them for so long, don't you understand? Are they only worth this little money?"
Pan Yi laughed: "But they are just substitutes now. Who would spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of players who didn't perform well?"
This makes sense.
Only time-travelers like Pan Yi can believe that the Kanters will not be abandoned after a year of neglect.
Most people, when they see a player sitting on the bench all the time, will doubt his ability and status.
He didn't even play football, so how can you observe his performance?
Galliani was silent for a few seconds.
Pan Yi asked: "We are considered old friends. We don't talk secretly. Just tell us directly. How much do you want?"
"Thirty million. Three people packed together, thirty million." Galliani gritted his teeth and said.
"You're trying to trick me..." Pan Yi chuckled, "The team I'm on now is Hamburg, not Bayern! Where do you get so much money?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"You will make money if you reach the Champions League. I believe your transfer budget this year will not be small."
"Tsk tsk... It seems that everything is under your control. Have you forgotten that when I asked you to bring in these players, I only spent a total of a few dollars... Do you have two million?
Are you going to be so cruel and kill me like this now?"
"This..." Galliani suddenly faltered, and even blushed a little, with veins on his forehead popping out, and argued, "How can buying and selling players be called cheating?... Things in the transfer market, aren't they all?
Is that so?"
There were words that were difficult to understand one after another, such as "market economy" and "growth premium", which made Pan Yi laugh.
"Okay, okay, 30 million is 30 million." Pan Yi suddenly said, interrupting Galliani's rambling.
"Really?" Pan Yi's straightforwardness surprised Galliani.
"Of course. Just think of it as a loss for me and help Milan out!" Pan Yi said with a smile.
"..." Galliani suddenly felt a little excited, "I'll go to Hamburg to find you right away!"
……
Pan Yi is willing to pay 30 million to buy someone. On the one hand, of course, he really has feelings for Milan.
At the moment when Milan is encountering difficulties, he can be regarded as giving a gentle push to slow down its decline.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading. Install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
So don’t worry about these millions of things anymore.
However, Pan Yi is pessimistic about whether the money will really make a big difference.
It is said that he won the Triple Crown in Milan, which means he only lasted for more than one year...
Alas, Milan, I can really only help you so far.
On the other hand, Pan Yi really needs these three players!
Kante, Van Dijk, Salah...
Gee, if Pan Yi were really asked to find replacements for these three people in today's transfer market, would he be able to find one?
Even if there is, can it be done for 30 million?
With these three people, Pan Yi can even use a new conversion idea that combines 433 and 4231 in the new season's tactical play, making Hamburg's overall play style more flexible and rich, and it is bound to greatly enhance Hamburg's overall play style.
Strength.
If nothing else, Van Dijk's ball-playing ability is much better than Kjaer's now.
Therefore, Pan Yi did not hesitate, 30 million is 30 million!
He was still afraid that if he continued to bargain, the deal might be blown.
When the time comes, it will be him who will regret it...
……
After the two parties reached an agreement, the transfer procedures were completed quickly.
Because there are no problems with the players!
Kante, Van Dijk and Salah were all happy when they learned that Pan Yi was bringing them to Hamburg!
Being able to play under such an awesome coach who appreciates them, what more could they ask for?
Even when discussing specific personal contracts, everyone said that as long as the original contract was followed, everything would be fine.
But Pan Yi did not treat them badly. After all, they have indeed increased their goals a lot in the past two years.
Decisive salary increase of 100%!
Of course, since they originally signed some "child labor" contracts, even if they doubled, it wouldn't be too high. At most, it would be about 50,000 weekly wages.
At the same time, Pan Yi also accelerated the departure process of some players in the team.
After purchasing Mitrovic, Kanter, Van Dijk and Salah, some personnel who cannot play in the corresponding positions must also be sold.
Therefore, in addition to Berry and Ogo, who were already determined to leave the team, Bruma, Mancion, Sala, Shelbrey, Teshe and others also began to enter the transfer negotiation stage...
The specifics of who leaves and who stays depends on the final negotiation results and personal wishes, but it is no longer that important to Pan Yi.
Because he now has two complete lineups.
Center: Vardy, Mitrovic.
Frontcourt: Sun Xingmin, De Bruyne, Wu Lei, Lin Zhijian, Calhanoglu, Salah.
Defenders: Robertson, Rudiger, Van Dijk, Carvajal, Janssen, Westermann, Kjaer, Dickmeier.
Goalkeeper: Navas, Neuhaus.
By then, together with the third goalkeeper Drobny and two players who are willing to stay on the team, a 25-man roster will be formed.
And this 25-man roster is obviously enough to cope with Hamburg’s third-line battle this season!
In fact, in most cases, these 22 people are enough.
Under Pintus' scientific training, Hamburg's injuries were significantly reduced last season, and with the addition of more capable players this season, Pan Yi will be more comfortable in rotations.
Besides, there are many versatile players who can play in multiple positions. For example, Westerman can play in all positions in the midfield and backcourt. For example, Janssen is a one-stop player on the left. Casemiro and Makoto Hasebe can both play.
Play as a central defender.
In other words, unless encountering an extreme injury situation, Hamburg has two to three options at each position.
With such a complete lineup, the average age of Hamburg’s first team has become even lower, even lower than last season!
This also made some media have doubts.
They believe that Pan Yi spent 30 million euros to bring three substitutes from AC Milan who could not play last season, and also brought an unknown young center from Serbia. This summer window transaction is definitely a loss.<
/p>
Even the media has cast doubt on the future of Hamburg.
They feel that Hamburg's previous slogan that they can compete with Bayern for the league championship now seems a bit too exaggerated.
Can this entire lineup really compete with Bayern?
In the winning odds offered by bookmakers, Hamburg is not even in the top three.
They are ranked fourth after Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen.
But Pan Yi is obviously not interested in such remarks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Last season you said Hamburg was going to be relegated, but what happened? It wasn’t a slap in the face.
Then this season, we have to do the same thing again! And we have to fight harder!
Pan Yi is so happy now.
The transfer work in the summer transfer window was completed so easily. Not only the team's strength was greatly enhanced, but the transfer budget was not even used up.
The total expenditure is 36 million, and about 10 million can be recovered from selling players, which means the net expenditure is only over 20 million.
With more than 20 million, he built a powerful team that can compete for any championship!
With the money he saves, he can also use it to increase the salary cap, wouldn't it be more beautiful to raise the wages of the players and boost their morale?
……
After the players returned to the Hamburg training camp one after another, Pan Yi specifically talked to two players.
One is Wu Lei.
As a fellow countryman, Pan Yi also has a glimmer of hope for Longguo football. Pan Yi naturally has some special feelings for Wu Lei.
But there are some things that must be explained clearly to him.
As Hamburg's main right winger last season, Pan Yi clearly told Wu Lei that with the addition of Salah in the new season, he may encounter unprecedented fierce competition.
Salah is much stronger than Lin Zhijian!
Faced with such a challenge, Wu Lei was able to accept it calmly, and he was also very grateful to Pan Yi for talking openly and honestly about these things with him.
After all, he is a professional player and understands that competition exists no matter where he is.
Truly strong players gradually grow up in fierce competition.
Then Pan Yi made another request to him.
That is, in the new season, Wu Lei needs to deliberately play on the left in training to hone his back-foot cutting skills!
In Pan Yi's 4231 formation last season, Wu Lei existed as a smooth winger on the right. His main tactical purpose was to deliver cannonballs to the forwards in the center after breaking through.
But this season, due to the addition of Van Dijk, Kante and others, Pan Yi is likely to regain the 433 style of play he played in Milan.
At that time, smooth wingers will not often be used in such a formation.
Therefore, this also presents a new challenge for Wu Lei. He must master this new skill in order to occupy a place in Pan Yi's changeable tactical system!
Of course, Pan Yi still continued his usual style.
Beating is only a small part, more is praise and encouragement. He hopes Wu Lei can perform better than last season.
At the same time, he also said:
"Since we will be fighting on three fronts this season, there will be many more games."
"Even if you are temporarily unable to reach the level of the main players, even if you rotate, the final playing time will not be much less than last season."
"So, you still have to pay attention to your status at all times and strive to bring out your best!"
"I hope you can become the first Dragon Country player to win the Bundesliga championship and the first Dragon Country player to win the Champions League championship!"
Pan Yi lit a fire in Wu Lei's heart.
The passion for competition and the desire for honor, no matter what kind of fire it is, Pan Yi hopes that it will burn brightly in Wu Lei's heart!
Of course, Pan Yi said that there is not a lot of time to rotate players, and he is not talking nonsense.
If a team has multiple capable players at a certain position, that's it.
For example, in recent years, Manchester City has used Grealish, Foden, and Mahrez in the winger positions; Gundogan, Rodri, and B in the midfield position have all chosen two out of three, but who is the absolute main force?
Two? It seems hard to say.
It is because they have different abilities, and sometimes the B seat will play as a winger, or Gundogan plays as an attacking midfielder, etc. Sometimes the two groups of people are not mutually exclusive, which leads to the final result.
The playing time will not differ much.
……
The other player Pan Yi chatted with alone was Mitrovic.
He clearly told Mitrovic that he would be an important substitute for the team this season, but he would not get fewer playing opportunities.
"I believe in your strength and potential, but I believe you can also feel that you are still a certain distance away from Vardy."
"You should also know that if you want to reach his level, it will take a certain amount of time to work hard and practice."
"But don't worry, you also have characteristics and abilities that Vardy does not have. Therefore, I will also use you often. Please be ready on the bench at any time!"
This kind of straightforward words also made Mitrovic nod frequently.
He also said that when he was only 19 years old and was brought to the five major leagues, it was unrealistic to expect him to be the main player.
The reason why he came is because he knows that Pan Yi is good at coaching young players, and he will definitely be able to learn more in Hamburg and make faster progress.
In other words, Mitrovic very much agrees with Pan Yi's statement and appreciates Pan Yi's direct way of communicating with him.
Pan Yi also said in the end that he hires people based on their status and strength.
If one day Mitrovic's ability really reaches the level of the main force, then Pan Yi will not hesitate to put him in the lineup!
This undoubtedly gave Mitrovic more encouragement!
