Chapter 437: Repaying the Debt with the Players

"Master Huan, I don't quite understand, why do you want to sell Falcao?"

After sending away Jorge Mendes, Pini Zahavi asked Yang Huan in confusion.

Isn't this young master Huan always saying that he wants to introduce the best and best players in the world?

Now Falcao is the future top center that everyone is unanimously optimistic about, just let it go?

Yang Huan smiled lightly, he definitely couldn't say that in his previous life, Falcao suffered a sharp decline because of an injury, which was far less brave than he is now, and it also caused countless people to question him as a younger suspect.

You know, Falcao's current official age is February 1986, but if he is underreported by two years, as the outside world worries, then he should be twenty-eight years old this year.

Taking South American players over 30 years old, their physical fitness is not as good as before, how can the 28-year-old Falcao still sell for a high price?

Of course, Yang Huan would definitely not say these words.

"We at Southampton already have Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Didier Drogba, we don't need another centre forward."

Regardless of how old Ibrahimovic and Drogba are, the problem is, they grow older.

And these two big centers are getting smarter and smarter!

Pini Zahavi would like to say, don't you still have two teams, Monaco and Atletico Madrid?

But think about it again, Young Master Huan has always had his own set of ideas for doing things, just listen to him, why bother asking?

"My positioning of Atletico Madrid and Monaco is different. Atletico Madrid is a La Liga team. The biggest task in the new season is to qualify for the Champions League. Only by consistently entering the Champions League can it improve the team's finances!"

The Champions League is indeed the key to turning around the team's finances for a team like Atletico Madrid.

That is not only the generous appearance fees, game bonuses and game-day operating income, but also the attention brought by the continuous entry into the Champions League, which in turn attracts the attention of more sponsors and promotes the team's business income.

Only in this way can Atletico Madrid get out of the current predicament.

But there is also a problem.

Selling Falcao, sending Diego, Pizzi and Silvio away, Thiago's whereabouts unknown, coupled with Koke's move to Southampton, made Atletico Madrid's entire midfield and frontcourt facing a lot of turmoil .

In Yang Huan's previous life, from Vieri, Hasselbaink to Torres, to Aguero, Forlan, and finally to Falcao and Diego Costa, many people said that Atletico Madrid was rich in sharp strikers. This is because of the team's tactical style.

However, few people have noticed that Atletico Madrid's Shenfeng in recent years is actually a generation worse than a generation.

After Torres and Aguero went to the Premier League, although Falcao scored more goals, he was not as good as Aguero as a whole.

When it came to Diego Costa, it was worse than Falcao, but Diego Costa played other roles in Simeone's tactical system and strengthened the traditional imprint of Shenfeng.

Therefore, after Atletico Madrid sold Falcao, while supporting Diego Costa, it is necessary to introduce a powerful striker to supplement Atletico Madrid's risk strength.

In the frontcourt, Turan and Adrian are both powerful. If Salvio stays, it will be a strong supplement, but it is still a little weak. It is also necessary to introduce a frontcourt attacker.

In the middle of the midfield, Gabi and Mario Suarez are the main midfielders for Atletico Madrid to win La Liga and reach the Champions League final, plus a Raul Garcia who performed well after going to Osasuna on loan. Configuration is okay.

Yang Huan wants to get Porto's Moutinho, and he wants to use the Portuguese midfielder to fill Koke's shortcomings and strengthen Atletico Madrid's midfield.

As for the back line, Godin, Juanfran, Felipe, and Miranda are the main force for Atlético de Madrid to win the La Liga title and reach the Champions League final. This line of defense does not need to be moved at all.

If you can get Otamendi from Porto, let the Argentine mix with fellow countryman Simeone, by the way, strengthen the defense of Atletico Madrid, and add the thickness of the benches on the left and right sides.

After such an operation, after selling Falcao, Yang Huan needs to invest not much money, but it can make the entire Atletico Madrid's three lines be able to get a strong supplement.

The only big issue is the goalkeeper position, and Asenjo is still not expected to be high.

Yang Huan plans to send Courtois to Atlético de Madrid as the main goalkeeper.

The Belgian goalkeeper has made rapid progress in his two seasons at Southampton, but he has always lived in the shadow of Neuer, and now is the time to go out on his own.

As for Southampton, Yang Huan is considering introducing another substitute goalkeeper.

In addition to Courtois, Yang Huan asked Bielsa, Simeone and the technical team to think about it, and sent out several talented young players in the team to exercise, such as the 18-year-old Markovic and Kova Cic.

In Yang Huan's heart, the positioning of the three teams he owns is different.

Southampton and Atlético de Madrid are both teams in the top league, and they should undoubtedly further tap their potential, especially Southampton, which is full of superstars and is the eldest son. Yang Huan must be the most important.

Atlético de Madrid is also very important, but in the next few years, the most important task is to gain a firm foothold in La Liga and reach the Champions League in a row.

As for whether it can reproduce the glory of the previous life, whether Simeone can still lead his team to win the La Liga and reach the Champions League final, Yang Huan does not pay special attention.

In other words, Yang Huan's goal for Simeone is to keep third in the league!

Monaco is located in the Ligue 2 League, and it is certain to be promoted to Ligue 1 as soon as possible, but no matter from which point of view, Monaco is not suitable for a big game. At least the constraints of the stadium and the environment limit the development prospects of Monaco.

Unless Yang Huanken burns money recklessly like the Qatar Investment Authority did to Paris Saint-Germain.

But that's definitely not Yang Huan's style.

Therefore, Yang Huan's positioning for Monaco is to be young. First, cultivate the passion for football in the French domestic market and Monaco, and participate in the Champions League and Europa League steadily. This is the most pragmatic and reasonable goal for Monaco at this stage.

To achieve this, Yang Huan believes that the most important thing is to form a young team with vigor and fighting spirit as soon as possible and at the lowest cost, and at the same time, mainly French players.

This is undoubtedly a means of catering to local fans in a short period of time.

Besides, Yang Huan knows better than anyone that in the next few years, a group of talented rookies will break out in France.

As long as Monaco makes good use of its advantages, it may not be able to show its strength.

...

While Yang Huan was thinking, Peter Kenyon and Pini Zahavi were indifferent.

The two of them communicated more with their eyes, guessing what Master Huan was thinking at this moment.

This made Ting Yuxuan's top floor look a little deserted, and he didn't even change the tea when it was cold.

Just when Pini Zahavi and Peter Kenyon were hesitating whether to break the silence, Yang Huan suddenly moved.

Master Huan took an ipad from the side and moved his fingers quickly.

This suddenly surprised Peter Kenyon.

What are you doing, Mr. Huan?

Like looking for some information, but what is it?

"Pini!"

"what?"

"I know you have a lot of connections in the Ligue 1, help me do one thing!"

Pini Zahavi got excited as soon as he heard it, and he would definitely not suffer by helping Young Master Huan.

"Master Huan, if you have something to do, just tell me."

"You help me take a trip to Saint-Etienne."

Yang Huan spoke lightly, while Pini Zahavi listened carefully.

"Last year they spent 3 million euros to bring in the main goalkeeper Rufer from us. As a result, Rufer has played for them for a full season and became their main goalkeeper, but so far, they still owe 200 10,000 euro transfer fee!"

Pini Zahavi felt the indignation of Young Master Huan, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Instalments and arrears of transfer fees are very common in the European transfer market. How many people in Europe are like Young Master Huan, who are basically all paid in cash?

Saint-Etienne is not a big team either. The annual transfer budget may be a measly three or four million euros. If they don’t buy players and make a fortune, even fewer can invest in the transfer market.

"You tell them, either pay me two million euros, or return Rufeit, or else I'll use their players to make up the count!"

When Pini Zahavi and Peter Kenyon heard it, they were both dumbfounded and helpless.

Young Master Huan's behavior is too savage, isn't it?

However, the words are not rough. In European football, there are many precedents for players to pay their debts because they can’t pay their debts. It’s just that ordinary fans don’t know much about it.

It has to be said that although Monaco's finances are very bad, the team's ability to train players is very strong.

For example, Nkuru, who moved to Marseille, was a centre-back who shined in the Ligue 1 last season.

There are also Korean players like Park Joo-young who went to Arsenal, and Ruffel who went to Saint-Etienne. They are all very powerful.

As for the youth training, the Monaco team currently also includes the Togolese demon defender Mango, the Cameroon international Edgar Sally, the midfielder Mendy with the title of Collele, and the Croatian international goalkeeper Subasic and so on.

Given the peculiarity of goalkeepers, it is impossible for Saint-Etienne to let Ruffell go.

The latter was the pillar of Saint-Etienne's seventh-placed Ligue 1 defense last season. Can such a player be released?

Therefore, Saint-Etienne can only have two choices, either to give money, or to use the players to repay the debt.

For Saint-Etienne, who has always been budget-conscious, two million euros is quite astonishing, and he may not be able to get it all at once.

Thinking of this, the shrewd Pini Zahavi and Peter Kenyon suddenly looked at each other.

It can be seen that Young Master Huan, who has never been short of money, is a player who has taken a fancy to others, forcing Saint-Etienne to release him.

Pini Zahavi couldn't help laughing in his heart, "Who does Young Master Huan want to use to make up the number?"

Rao is that Yang Huan is so thick-skinned, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Hey man, can you stop calling me so black?

Am I not pissed off?

Who is Mr. Ke Huan?

How could it be twitchy?

Name it right on the spot!

Pini Zahavi really knows the Europa League well. As soon as Yang Huan said his name, he immediately knew who it was.

But this time, the Israelites laughed bitterly.

Everyone heard that Young Master Huan has a sharp eye, and it is true that he is staring at the genius who is most valued by others.

"Master Huan, this player is a talented rookie that Saint-Etienne attaches great importance to. Romeyer is not the kind of idiot who doesn't understand anything. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince him to let him go!"

Romeyer, one of the co-chairmen of Saint-Etienne, is in charge of sport and finances.

Yang Huan smiled and spread his hands, "Then give me the money!"

Uh……

Pini Zahavi and Peter Kenyon looked at each other and both wanted to laugh.

This young master Huan is too rascal, isn't he?

But soon, an idea flashed in Pini Zahavi's mind. ()
