Chapter 1092 Team Yang Yang
Playing football in Europe for so many years, coupled with his success in recent years, Yang Yang's circle of friends can be said to be all over the major leagues in Europe.
From Eredivisie to Premier League to La Liga, from national football associations to UEFA, he knows some friends. Even Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are hailed as mortal enemies by the outside world, Yang Yang has many friends, such as Messi and Ines Tower, Harvey, even Pique.
But there are not many who can be called good friends.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sneijder, Maicon, Maxwell, Vermaelen and others are all well-known friends of Yang Yang. They all have one thing in common, that is, they all come from Ajax. The acquaintance at Wei Mo brought them a friendship that was unimaginable outside the world.
In addition, Liverpool's Gerrard, Real Madrid's Xavi Alonso, Marcelo, Robben, and AC Milan's Kaka are all Yang Yang's friends, Casillas and Ramo Although Si has a good friendship with Yang Yang, it is not enough to say that he is a good friend.
Therefore, when Valdano said that he wanted to introduce Yang Yang's friends, not to mention other people, even Yang Yang himself was a little surprised. Who was Real Madrid looking for?
"Liverpool's Luis Suarez!" Valdano quickly revealed the answer.
Everyone was surprised, this name is no stranger, but are he and Yang Yang friends?
After Yang Yang heard the name, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, which was barely true.
"Do you have friendship with him?" Ramos asked in surprise.
In the eyes of everyone in the Real Madrid dressing room, Yang Yang is a very pure professional player, and he is also an otaku. He can do almost anything with football.
But now a friend suddenly appeared, which was really surprising.
"It should be considered." Yang Yang nodded with a wry smile, "I used to go back to Ajax often, and he played for Ajax, and he happened to live in the same street as me, so we knew each other and left a personal contact information. I have been in touch with him over the years, he often asks me some questions, and I try to help him as much as possible, every time I come and go..."
Speaking of which, I met Suarez through Wu Lei. At that time, Yang Yang was very concerned about Wu Lei's situation in Ajax, and Suarez also kept in touch with Vermaelen.
With Yang Yang's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Everyone knows what kind of status Ajax has in Yang Yang's mind, and Suarez is from Ajax, so it's not surprising that he knows Yang Yang.
"Jorge, are you sure we want to introduce him?" Yang Yang suddenly asked curiously.
Liverpool's record in the Champions League has not been very good in recent years, but they have performed very well in the Premier League. The combination of Suarez and Gareth Bale shines, which can be said to have stole the limelight, but it is Gareth who really attracted the attention of the outside world Bell, everyone believes that the Welsh talent is Liverpool's number one star and the strongest player in Liverpool after Yang Yang.
You know, Gareth Bale came to Liverpool with the title of Yang Yang II.
"We must have learned about it in detail." Valdano nodded with a smile.
Many people analyze the success of Real Madrid in the past few years, and think that the most important point is the modernization of the club's management mechanism, and Valdano's technical director has also been talked about by many people, and even caused many teams to follow suit.
The position of technical director itself is not uncommon. What makes him truly valuable is that he is the hub between the head coach and the management.
Many fans probably don’t know it. In fact, in European football, the head coach is the most risky profession in a club. It is more dangerous than players. To a certain extent, frequent coaching changes are normal, similar to Those like Ferguson and Wenger are rare exceptions.
Then the problem comes, the Chinese have an old saying, once the emperor and the courtiers.
As the name suggests, every head coach will have his own style of play that he is good at, and some types of players he likes. Coach, may I ask, can the team adapt? Is it necessary to reorganize and clean up every season?
No team can withstand such a toss, but coaching changes are the norm, so what should we do?
This requires a mature and stable mechanism to ensure that the risk of coaching changes is minimized, that is, to introduce a head coach with a similar style to minimize internal friction and toss.
In addition to the head coach, the same is true for player transfers and turnover.
To some extent, the technical director is in charge of the overall situation. No matter what the team encounters, he must have a stable preparation plan. For example, if Ancelotti dismisses get out of class now, Valdano must take A set of candidate lists will be produced for the management to choose, and it must also be in line with Real Madrid's current situation.
The same is true for players. No matter who is leaving the team now, Valdano and the technical team must have a backup plan.
In addition to these, the technical director is also responsible for the long-term planning of the team's skills and tactics, and at the same time must control the team's overall strategy.
What does that mean?
Because the head coach is the position with the highest risk, in many cases, the head coach has to take some short-sighted approach, which can see results in the short term, but it may not be beneficial to the team in the medium and long term. This requires the technical director Responsible for control, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Here again, transfers are involved.
Many times, outside fans always think that when it comes to transfers, they should listen to the head coach. He can buy whoever he likes to use. trouble?
But here lies the problem. The transfer requires negotiation and money, and who can guarantee that the head coach has no selfishness or makes mistakes?
To give the simplest example, in the summer of 2009, Mourinho coached Inter Milan. At that time, the central defender he wanted was Carvalho from Chelsea, but what Inter Milan gave him was Lucy from Bayern Munich. Oh, the former is worth more than 15 million euros, while the latter is worth 8 million euros.
Mourinho was quite dissatisfied with this at the time, thinking that the management did not cooperate with his signings, but the subsequent results proved that Lucio's transfer was not only successful, but also extremely cost-effective.
Of course, no one will know whether the Nerazzurri will still be successful if Carvalho goes to Inter Milan, but one thing is certain is that no club will hand over all the power of transfers and signings to the owner. Coaches, including Manchester United's Ferguson and Arsenal's Arsene Wenger.
A transfer, even a transfer of several million euros, involves a lot.
The simplest comparison, in real life, will any company pay attention to signing a business worth tens of millions?
Therefore, there needs to be a professional person in charge, which is the technical director.
Of course, it is beautiful in theory, but in reality, due to various problems in the club's internal management, the profession of technical director is always mixed, with successes and failures.
But after Florentino reformed the modern management system of Real Madrid's management, as the technical director, Valdano and his technical team played an important role in the following years, and the signings were more targeted .
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have a common feature, that is, they both have a player who cannot be replaced, Yang Yang and Messi.
Everyone knows very well that if Real Madrid loses Yang Yang and Barcelona loses Messi, these two teams will inevitably fall into turmoil, because no one can replace them, especially Yang Yang.
When Yang Yang was there, Robben, Di Maria, Hazard, David Silva, Modric and others all obeyed him, but once Yang Yang leaves the team, who will be the boss?
Imported from outside? Is it going to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo? Do other players serve him?
You know, this is the team that has won the UEFA Champions League for three consecutive times. What achievements does Cristiano Ronaldo have in Manchester United that can make him the leader as soon as he joins the team?
Therefore, no matter how Real Madrid and Barcelona are reorganized and recruited, they will only build their teams around Yang Yang and Messi.
To some extent, this is Yang Yang's team against Messi's team.
When Yang Yang was in a bad mood after losing to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid was also worried for a long time. From Florentino to the coaching staff, they were all trying to enlighten him. happy.
And now, Yang Yang's friends are also a reference for Real Madrid's signings.

"Suarez scored well in the Eredivisie, but in fact his efficiency was not high. This caused his performance to be not eye-catching when he first arrived in the Premier League, and was even questioned for a while, but his dribbling ability is very strong, and he seeks to The desire to win is very strong, which makes Liverpool continue to trust him."
"In the past two years, he has gradually developed. As a striker, his passing, vision, shooting ability, header, physical confrontation... These qualities are constantly improving. At the age of 26, we all I believe that he is about to usher in the golden period of his career, and he has a strong sense of cooperation."
Valdano explained why Real Madrid took a fancy to Suarez, obviously not wanting people to misunderstand, thinking that the reason why the technical team included Suarez as a transfer candidate was because of Yang Yang.
Although this is a reference item, it is clear that the player's own strength is the most important.
All teams like to introduce this kind of players who are between mature and rookies. They are young and energetic, but they also have ideas and goals, and the risk is not too great. The price/performance ratio is relatively stronger. If it is sold in a year or two, Real Madrid will not lose money.
For example, Herrera, Di Maria and Azpilicueta, the value of these three players has increased a lot compared to when they joined. Halo?
In today's European football, famous stars, especially attackers, can cost tens of millions of euros at every turn, which is too sought-after.
The most important thing is that there are too many local tyrants. Not only has the overall purchasing power of the Premier League increased, Ligue 1 has not only produced Paris Saint-Germain, but also Monaco, as well as local tyrants from Turkey, Ukraine and Russia.
In a word, in the current European football, good players are too sought-after, and their worth is naturally rising.
