Chapter 287 Caught watching the World Cup

 After the exclusive interview with tv5, Pan Yi said goodbye to the players at the training base.

After today, many Hamburg players will report to their respective national teams to prepare for the upcoming 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Players who do not have World Cup duties will also start taking vacation.

So this may be the last goodbye.

This does not just refer to Pan Yi.

Many of the players may not come back after leaving the base today.

Due to their outstanding performance in the past two seasons, many Hamburg players have attracted the attention of wealthy clubs.

Even if Hamburg's Triple Crown can bring tens or even hundreds of millions of euros in revenue to the club, the team still cannot keep everyone.

What does hundreds of millions of euros count for?

For wealthy clubs, perhaps a player is worth this price, at least tens of millions of euros.

Just give two examples.

Manchester United, which has had poor results this season and is eager to revive, has set its sights on Real Madrid's Argentinian star Di Maria, and the latest offer has reached 75 million euros;

Barcelona, ​​which also has nothing in the top four, has a special liking for Liverpool forward Suarez, who has performed extremely well in the Premier League this season, and directly offered 80 million euros. It is reported that the two parties have already negotiated in detail.

So how can I put it, this bonus is a lot of money for small clubs, but for these giants, it is really nothing.

For the Hamburg Club, they can only retain some players as much as possible, but there is absolutely no way for those who are really tempted by the wealthy and determined to leave.

The most popular player at the moment is of course this season’s Bundesliga mvp and assist leader De Bruyne.

Guardiola has always admired him very much, and so have Bayern's top brass.

Therefore, the Bundesliga hegemon has already wielded their digging shovel, preparing to dig the Belgian midfielder to Bayern.

It's just that Ding Ding's ankle injury at the end of the season gave Bayern a little worry, so they have to wait until the World Cup to observe his recovery.

But it is said that Bayern is ready to pay a high price of 70 million euros!

As for Vardy, the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season, his market situation is slightly worse.

Because he is slightly older, he is already 27 years old and is considered to have no more potential to tap.

And many experts also believe that Vardy's technical characteristics are relatively simple. The reason why he has performed well in these two seasons is purely because Pan Yi's tactical system is very suitable, and he may not be able to perform well if he changes teams.

Of course, this also has some historical basis.

The previous top scorers in the Bundesliga are sometimes short-lived, maybe they just can't play after changing teams.

In recent seasons, Leverkusen's Kiesling is like this, and Schalke 04's Huntelaar is also like this.

A little further away, what about Mintar, Yekas, Graffit...

Have any of these players who have won the Bundesliga top scorer shine in world football?

Even the most experienced fans know these names.

It is precisely because of these concerns that the offer for Vardy was much lower.

It is said that the newly promoted Leicester City of the Premier League are most interested in him. They believe that Vardy's highly aggressive playing style on the front line will help their traditional defensive counterattack style.

They also made a tentative offer of 25 million, but they have not yet gone through final negotiations.

Among all the players, the one who is 100% about to leave the team is Real Madrid youth training youngster Carvajal.

His performance in the Bundesliga, especially in the Champions League final, completely overwhelmed Real Madrid's main right back Nacho who was on the court at the time, which made Real Madrid's top management determined to buy him back.

As my personal desire to return to Real Madrid is extremely strong, this transaction is of course imperative.

Of course, when Real Madrid sold him to Hamburg for only 5 million, but now they want to take him back, it seems impossible to do so without paying about ten times the price...

In short, according to Pan Yi's observation, Hamburg's players will be very happy if they can keep half of them!

------------------

After hugging the players goodbye one by one, Pan Yi came to Chairman Yakhov's office.

Yachov also knew that Pan Yi's departure was as irreversible as the departure of those players, so he said goodbye graciously.

At the same time, he also thanked Pan Yi for his contribution to Hamburg during the past period.

This is not a polite statement, because Pan Yi’s contribution is really all-round!

In terms of honors, the Triple Crown plus a German Super Cup created the best record in the club’s history;

In terms of popularity, Hamburg clearly has the capital to compete with many giants around the world, especially in East Asia, where it is unique;

In terms of finance, they have earned at least 60 to 70 million in broadcast fees and game bonuses from the Champions League this season alone, not counting match day income.

Not to mention that Pan Yi has left so many outstanding players to the team. Whether they stay or leave, they will be a huge asset to the Hamburg Club.

Of course, Yahov did not just pay lip service to Pan Yi's contribution.

The prize money for winning the Triple Crown is definitely indispensable, and it adds up to about five to six million euros.

Although Pan Yi usually adds to his position in Bitcoin when he sees the opportunity, his potential net worth may now be tens of millions of euros, but after all, he has not cashed in yet, right?

So these five to six million euros are not a small amount for him now.

After all, the annual salary for the past two years is only two million euros.

"I would also like to thank you very much for letting Nagelsmann stay and continue to help us lead this team. This is really heartwarming." Yachov said to Pan Yi emotionally.

When he learned about Pan Yi's intention to leave, Yahov was most worried about his successor.

He can't afford to hire someone who is too big, and how can someone who is too weak afford such a Triple Crown team?

To be honest, he had no idea who to invite.

But Pan Yi immediately helped him solve the problem.

The equally young Nagelsmann is also the assistant coach who helped the team win the Triple Crown!

Isn’t this the same trajectory as Pan Yi?

Moreover, Nagelsmann has been staying in Hamburg for the past two years and is very familiar with the entire club's management model and training methods, including the players and the youth team. It is almost plug and play, and there is no need to worry about any problems at all.
In fact, if it weren't for Pan Yi's promotion, Nagelsmann might have been poached by other teams!

After all, as Pan Yi's reputation in European football has become more and more famous in the past two years, so has the reputation of his coaching team.

As the chief assistant coach, Nagelsmann will certainly receive numerous invitations.

Of course, the teams that invite him are unlikely to be rich, but they are basically teams from the five major leagues.

In particular, Hoffenheim, his home team, strongly invited him to return as head coach.

If Nagelsmann hadn't been obsessed with learning more from Pan Yi, he might have slipped away long ago!

When Pan Yi was about to leave Hamburg, Pan Yi urged Nagelsmann to stay with the team as the head coach, which was really a kindness to the club.

As for another important assistant coach Inzaghi, he found his next home early, and that is his parent team AC Milan.

The two parties have actually reached an agreement early. Inzaghi will succeed Clarence Seedorf as the head coach of AC Milan's first team in the new season. The two parties have signed a contract until June 30, 2016.

Therefore, when Pan Yi left Hamburg, Pintus was the only member of the coaching staff that he really planned to take away.

Pan Yi really can't live without this little bald man now.

The main thing is physical training. He is not professional!

After all, world football in the future will develop in the direction of being faster, more ferocious, and more capable of running. High-position pressing and full-court pressing tactics will become mainstream, and the physical requirements for players will only become higher and higher.

Since there are specialties in the art industry, Pan Yi would still feel safer bringing along the best physical trainer in the world...

In the office, after Yahov and Pan Yi chatted for about half an hour, Pan Yi breathed out heavily and stretched out his right hand towards Yahov:

"You are a very good chairman. Without your support, I would not be able to do what I am doing now. So, I also thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Yahov nodded slightly and said nothing more.

I just said everything that needs to be said.

He just stretched out his hand and shook it with Pan Yi.

"Good luck!"

"You too."

------------------

The time has entered the middle of June.

This summer's European transfer market started later than in previous years.

Because this year there is the World Cup, which is watched by thousands of people!

Many clubs will think about officially starting transfer work after the World Cup, because there may be big fish there.

After all, no matter how complete your scouting system is, there will always be areas and players you miss.

For example, Ochoa, known as the "Francis Ng of Mexico", has been playing in the Mexican League. If it weren't for the World Cup, who would know this goalkeeper with superb reaction speed?

Of course, those who perform well in the World Cup may not necessarily perform well in the club.

Still with the example just now, Ochoa was recruited to Ligue 1 and La Liga after his outstanding performance in the World Cup, but he has always been mediocre, and then he will wait until the next World Cup to perform well again...

Some players may be born for the World Cup.

This is true for Ochoa nearby and Schillaci and Goyechea far away.

Therefore, clubs must keep their eyes open when looking for players in the World Cup.

But this is always a large-scale "player fair". After such a meeting, it is often the choice of most clubs to find some reliable players.

Therefore, during the period before the World Cup, the transfer market was generally calm, except for some official announcements that "confirmed the relationship" early, such as Wandowski's free transfer to Bayern Munich.

------------------

June 14th at 7pm.

Brazil, Manaus, Amazon Stadium.

What is being held here tonight is the second group match of the first round of Group D of this World Cup, the highlight of the match between Italy and England.

At this time, in the VIP box at the highest point of the stadium stands, four men were watching the game and chatting.

"I didn't expect this group to be such a big upset when they first came together." The person who spoke at this time was Bruce Buck, the chairman of Chelsea Club.

"Who says it's not?" Ron Guerray, CEO of Chelsea Club, also said, "Who would have thought that Costa Rica could beat Uruguay?"

Just over an hour ago, at another Castellán stadium, in the first match of the same group, Uruguay lost 1 to 3 to Costa Rica.

Although the famous forward Cavani scored first, Costa Rica actually scored 3 goals in a row to reverse the situation, which was also a big upset in this cup.

After all, in terms of lineup, Uruguay has strikers like Cavani, Forlan, and Suarez in front of them, and famous players like Godin and Musilaira in the back.

In the Costa Rica team, the most famous player is forward Campbell. Although he plays for Arsenal, he is rented out most of the time and is not a top star;

The other one is Navas, the current main goalkeeper of the Hamburg team, who only shined for two years after Pan Yi's discovery.

In short, no matter in terms of historical background or player strength comparison, before the game everyone thought that Uruguay, the last third place winner, would easily defeat Costa Rica.

So this kind of result really makes the whole world stunned.

"In such a group of death, I actually think the results of the two teams are not important." The third person who spoke was Chelsea club owner Abramovich, "Anyway, Italy should qualify in the end.

and England, two stronger teams."

Group D, composed of three former world champions: Italy, England, and Uruguay, is recognized as the group of death in this World Cup.

Probably only Group B composed of Spain and the Netherlands, the two previous champions and runners-up, as well as Chile and Australia, can rival it.

However, in the first round of Group B, Spain lost miserably to the Netherlands 1:5!

Although this is a game between two strong teams, it is normal for whoever wins and who loses to win, but the fact that Spain, the previous champion, lost so much is considered a bit of an upset.

But even so, most people still believe that it is difficult for Chile and Australia to cause trouble to Spain or the Netherlands, so qualifying for the two top teams is not a problem.

It is precisely because of the same idea that in the death group of Group D, Abramovich is of course more optimistic about Italy and England.

At this time, Abramovich turned to the fourth man in the VIP box: "So, in today's game, which team are you more optimistic about, Mr. Pan Yi?"

The person sitting opposite Abu is surprisingly Pan Yi!

And for Pan Yi to be able to sit here and watch football with Chelsea's Big Three today, it's actually a great honor to refuse.

In the ten days since he ended his season, Chelsea has been sending invitations for interviews.

But didn’t Pan Yi always want to take a rest first, so he declined on the grounds of taking a vacation?

Then when the World Cup started, he secretly sneaked to Brazil and came to watch the game!

However, it was only the third day and he was "caught".

Ron Gourray, CEO of Chelsea Club, came to him personally and said that he had booked a VIP box, and the boss asked him to watch the game with him, and so on.

This still makes Pan Yi feel a little surprised.

He had expected from Chelsea's previous urgent invitation that Chelsea might be very sincere, but he really didn't expect that their battle would be so big this time.

The chairman, CEO, and boss are all out!

And this time he is the real boss! He is the person who directly and completely controls the club.

This is different from many clubs.

To give an example, Tottenham Hotspur owner Levy.

In fact, although Levy has always been labeled as the "Tottenham boss", the British businessman is indeed a shareholder of Tottenham, but the big boss behind the scenes is someone else.

The big boss behind Tottenham is actually Joe Lewis, who owns 70.6% of the shares of Enic Group, and the remaining 29.4% of the shares belong to Levi and his family.

Levy is only the second boss, and he assumes the position of chairman and takes charge of Tottenham's senior affairs.

There is another example, that is Manchester City Chairman Mubarak.

Although he has a very high say in the club, it is well known that the big boss behind Manchester City is Abi Dhabi Sheik Mansour.

Therefore, in terms of level, he is one level lower than Levi, that is, he is a pure worker.

Therefore, judging from the current situation of all clubs contacting Pan Yi, Chelsea is the most "advanced" and the most aggressive.

Under such a premise, it would be a bit disrespectful for Pan Yi to refuse again.

Moreover, the name Abramovich actually has a certain appeal to Pan Yi.

From Pan Yi’s experience as a fan in his previous life, we can know that Abramovich is a person who truly loves Chelsea and football!

From joining Chelsea to finally being forced to sell it, in 19 years, they won a total of 21 championships and invested 2.1 billion pounds in signings...

Leaving aside all the money-making matters, just from Abramovich's operation of selling Chelsea, we can see his love for the club.

Due to some special circumstances and constant pressure from the government, Abramovich made the decision to sell the club.

As the most outstanding leader in the history of the club, Abramovich did not require the new owner Burley Consortium to repay any loans during the transaction, and will donate all the proceeds from the sale to charity. This is the key to ensuring the smooth completion of the transaction.

In other words, Abramovich did not receive a penny from the 2.5 billion pounds used to sell the club.

This is also indirectly helping Chelsea, so that the new owner has more energy to support the team's future development.

They even included an "anti-Glazer clause" in the agreement between the two parties.

The clauses will prohibit the Burghley consortium from "sucking" the club in the name of paying dividends or management fees until 2032, prohibit them from selling any shares in the club for 10 years, and impose strict limits on the level of debt they may take on.

.

On the occasion of parting, Abramovich once again expressed his deep love for the club in this way.

This may be Abramovich's last gift to Chelsea. After having paid so much for Chelsea and experienced so much, Abramovich could only say goodbye to his most beloved club empty-handed.

When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and hides his body and his name. Li Bai's description in "The Journey of a Knight" may be the most consistent with Abu's state at that time.

In the hearts of Chelsea fans around the world, Abramovich is also the most important person who made the club take off and become a giant, and he is also "the best boss in the world."

So after Abramovich left, countless fans missed the Russian who scolded Fang Qiu in the Stamford Bridge box.

Therefore, although Abramovich, as the boss, is indeed a bit too strict with the performance requirements of his coaches, is it not because his love for the club makes him eager to make the team successful?

Because of this, Pan Yi also became very curious about this "best boss in the world". Now that he has invited her, why not go and meet him?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Besides, he hasn't watched the game in the VIP box yet. Now that someone is treating him, it would be good to go up and have a look...

At this time, when he heard Abramovich asking whether he was more optimistic about Italy or England, Pan Yi smiled, but did not answer his question directly, just said:

"My opinion is contrary to yours. The result of this game is not important."

As soon as these words came out, Abramovich, Bruce Buck, and Ron Gurray were all stunned.

Then Abramovich seemed to understand what Pan Yi meant and asked: "You mean, just like the group of Spain and the Netherlands, they can beat the other two teams to qualify anyway, so the outcome between them is not important?



Pan Yi shook his head and said: "No. It's because I think the qualifying teams in this group will be Costa Rica and Uruguay, so these two teams... are just noobs pecking each other."

Pan Yi dared to say this, of course because of the memory of his previous life.

At that time, this so-called group of death was really upset from start to finish. In the end, Costa Rica actually qualified first in the group.

Although Uruguay lost to Costa Rica in the first round, they defeated Italy and England in the following games, qualifying as second in the group.

From this perspective, the outcome between England and Italy is really not important. At most, it is just about deciding who is third in the group...

But when Pan Yi said this now, it naturally shocked people's jaws.

After all, Italy and England are both strong teams in the world, with many stars in their teams, and they performed well in the European Cup two years ago.

At that time, Italy reached the finals, and England also entered the quarterfinals. It happened that they also lost to Italy on penalties in the quarterfinals.

Compared with Uruguay and Costa Rica, they are superior in terms of overall strength and recent form, so they are the natural favorites to qualify.

"This..." Abu pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I have long heard that Pan Yi has always had a unique and sharp vision, but I didn't expect you to be so bold in predicting the game. Then we will see if it is true.

It's so magical! Of course, in addition to seeing your magic in predicting games today, we also want you to bring this magic to our club..."

After all, watching football is just a side meal, and Abramovich is preparing for the main meal - officially starting to talk to Pan Yi about joining the franchise.

At this time, Pan Yi pointed to the court: "Look, we scored!"
