Chapter 1470 The Crazy Winter Window

"Clarified?"

Seeing Yang Yang walking towards the area where the noisy players were, Chief Manager Manuel Redondo and Technical Director Valdano both leaned towards Florentino and asked with concern.

Florentino nodded with some disappointment, "Ajax announced today that the head coach is out of class, and he will take over in half a year."

Although they were prepared for this result, Redondo and Valdano were somewhat disappointed, because they were expecting Florentino to keep Yang Yang, but the result was still disappointing.

"I heard that the reason why Ajax has been able to defeat Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven in recent rounds is that Yang Yang is behind the scenes. Sooner or later."

When Valdano said this, he turned his head and looked at Yang Yang who was being congratulated by Real Madrid teammates in the distance.

"Ferguson is right. Yang Yang is very talented in coaching. His insight and analysis ability for the game are too strong. Moreover, his personality is very stable and calm, and he can always make the most accurate and rational choices. One point is very scary, and Zidane has said more than once that without Yang Yang, he would not be able to bring Real Madrid to where it is today."

Florentino nodded slightly. He always knew that Yang Yang was not an ordinary person.

As a player, he is the best, the best, and the greatest player in the history of world football. As a head coach, everyone who is familiar with Yang Yang agrees that he will also be the best and most successful head coach.

At the age of 29, he became the chief assistant coach of Real Madrid's first team, and at the age of 31, he became the head coach of Ajax. If he can really succeed in Ajax, then he will be a genius in the field of European professional coaches.

"Starting from this summer, we may lose a 31-year-old superstar, but we will gain a 31-year-old talented coach. Do you think this should be happy or sad?" Florentino asked with a wry smile.

Valdano and Redondo looked at each other, and both smiled wryly at the same time.

"I think what he said is right. He is 31 years old, how many more years can he play? His departure is not a bad thing for Real Madrid. Taking advantage of this opportunity, start the rejuvenation and reorganization Let Hazard, Asensio, Mbappe, Isco and other young players take up positions as soon as possible, and rebuild a younger Real Madrid."

After all, Florentino is at the helm of a large European conglomerate. His mind and courage are far beyond what ordinary people can compare. He can see farther and think more thoroughly, so he knows very well that Yang Yang's departure is very important to Real Madrid. It's a short-term pain, but in the long run, it's not a bad thing.

In the past few years, Real Madrid has always been regarded as Yang Yang's team. This is not a very healthy model, because it relies too much on Yang Yang. If he is still young, this is definitely no problem, just like Florentino for him Create a ten-year plan.

But now, Yang Yang is thirty-one years old.

To some extent, Yang Yang's choice to leave now is also a kind of retirement after success.

"By the way, Jorge, what do you think of Ajax?" Florentino suddenly became interested.

Valdano frowned, "I know that they are very strong in the Eredivisie League, and they also played at a certain level in the Europa League last season, but this team is not competitive in the Champions League, and this summer Many leading players have been poached, their strength has declined rapidly, and there are many problems."

"He said that he is very optimistic about the potential of this team. The goal is to bring this team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League within three years. Do you think this is possible?" Florentino asked with interest.

Valdano and Redondo looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

"I'm afraid...it's difficult." Valdano almost said it was impossible, but he soon realized that for Yang Yang, there seemed to be nothing impossible, and with Yang Yang's character, he would not say anything easily. Such words must be sure.

"I think so too." Florentino smiled lightly, "European football today is very different from what it used to be. In this era of capitalism, if Ajax can really rely on strong youth training to create blood Ability to return to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, or even the quarter-finals, that is definitely an anomaly.”

"I know Yang Yang, he will not just pursue overnight results, what he wants is to rebuild Ajax into a star-making factory of European giants, find a sustainable business path, and stabilize the Champions League. Results are very important, so I am very much looking forward to the excitement and changes he will bring to Ajax and the entire European football in the Netherlands."

At the end, Florentino himself couldn't help laughing.

Yang Yang has nothing to pursue in Real Madrid. He is eager to go to Ajax to show his understanding and experience of professional football in the past ten years and his thinking on football tactics through this team.

And Florentino is also very eager to see this scene, because this is definitely a good thing for Real Madrid.

Based on his relationship with Yang Yang, Real Madrid must have priority for the players trained by Ajax, and if Yang Yang can really lead Ajax back to the top European teams, then he will also become famous. It may become another Zidane and Guardiola, which is too dreamy for Real Madrid.

"I've always felt that when he returned to the place where his career started, his coaching career would definitely surprise everyone." Florentino said expectantly.

…………

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Real Madrid's Christmas dinner, Yang Yang and Florentino smashed the rumors about their discord, but the media is still speculating that Yang Yang will leave Real Madrid after the end of this season.

Soon, the news became old news.

The end of the year is approaching, and the winter transfer is about to start. At this time, the Catalan media broke the news that Barcelona has basically won Liverpool's number one star Coutinho, and is willing to pay up to 150 million for the Liverpool star. The transfer fee of tens of millions of euros immediately detonated the entire European football world.

The summer transfers are in full swing, with an endless stream of blockbuster transfers. The Premier League has sold a sky-high price of 1.6 billion euros, which has created the craziest summer transfer ever. Serie A has also invested more than 800 million euros. Because of Neymar, the investment is as high as 670 million, the Bundesliga is 580 million, and La Liga is the least, only 550 million euros.

It can be said that this is a crazy summer.

Now, the winter transfer is about to start, and all teams are gearing up, preparing to introduce strong support during the winter break.

In addition to Barcelona wanting to introduce Coutinho, Atletico Madrid is also coveting Chelsea's abandoned player Diego Costa, which will be an important signing for the Sheets to strengthen their striker strength.

Sure enough, just after Christmas, Atletico Madrid couldn't wait to announce that they had bought back center Diego Costa from Chelsea for a transfer fee of 66 million euros. This well-known transfer quickly ignited the winter window The beacon of transfer.

Soon, Barcelona followed suit and announced that they would introduce Brazilian midfielder Coutinho from Liverpool at a super high price of 160 million euros. This transfer will be completed after the winter break transfer window opens. The membership fee is divided into a basic transfer fee of 120 million euros and a floating transfer fee of 40 million euros, with a total value of 160 million euros.

Not only that, Coutinho's annual salary in Barcelona will also be as high as 23 million euros, which makes him one of the players with the highest annual salary in European football, second only to Yang Yang, Messi, Cristiano Superstars like Ronaldo and Neymar.

In order to make more salary space for Coutinho, Barcelona will also have to sell players including Turan, as well as youth training players such as Rafinha and Deulofeu.

...

Here, the La Liga duo are crazily invested, and the big local tyrants in the Premier League are also not idle.

After selling Coutinho, Liverpool immediately became wealthy and immediately introduced defender Van Dijk from Southampton at a sky-high price of 80 million euros. This transfer created the highest defender transfer value in world football history. .

As for the vacancy after Coutinho's departure, the Liverpool Echo revealed that the Red Army will target Lyon star Fekir and Ajax player Ziyech. An olive branch, hoping to bring the French player to Anfield.

As for Ziyech, this is Liverpool's plan B.

After Chelsea sold Diego Costa, they first introduced midfielder Barkley from Everton for 17 million euros, then French striker Giroud from Arsenal for 17 million euros, and finally with two Emerson was introduced from Rome for tens of millions of euros.

Three transfers have just spent the proceeds of Diego Costa's move to Atletico Madrid.

After Arsenal lost Giroud, the team's top star Sanchez also suffered poaching from Manchester United and Manchester City.

In the end, the Chilean star switched from Arsenal to rival Manchester United with a transfer fee of 70 million euros. The sky-high transfer fee was composed of Mkhitaryanga’s transfer fee and the agent’s agency fee. Sanchez will also get 23 million from Manchester United. The annual salary of Euros also makes the 29-year-old one of the highest-paid players in European football.

Manchester United coach Mourinho spoke highly of Sanchez and believed that this was a very successful transfer that would enhance Manchester United's competitiveness in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Subsequently, Arsenal introduced Gabon forward Aubameyang from Dortmund at a sky-high price of 64 million euros.

Manchester City, who missed Sanchez, introduced French defender Laporte from La Liga Athletic Bilbao at a sky-high price of 65 million euros. After losing Laporte, the Basque Lions quickly paid 3,000 euros Two million euros for Igor Martinez from Real Sociedad.

One after another, the European football market was detonated time and time again.

Everyone can clearly see that the originally relatively ordinary winter window transfer has not been affected by the hot summer and has become depressed this year.

On the contrary, Real Madrid, the overlord of European football, moved forward in a low-key manner in this transfer storm.
