Chapter 1655 Fighting Barcelona, Don't Let It Go!
Maybe it was the mood, or maybe God was celebrating for Real Madrid. The next morning when they beat Dortmund 4-0 away, Madrid was a rare good weather with clear skies.
When Yang Yang drove to Valdebebas, got out of the car, looked up at the blue sky, the golden sunlight was shining on his body, the warm feeling was so comfortable.
He really wanted to fly to the beach in the south of Spain, lie down on a beach chair, and sleep comfortably.
This must be the best treat!
It's a pity that he missed all of this. Not only could he not enjoy it, but he also had a headache to play the Barcelona game two days later.
Fighting hard for a long time has long been accustomed to Real Madrid.
How to play and how to prepare, the coaching staff already has a complete set of procedures.
But Yang Yang still needs to worry about many things.
Moreover, his remit as a head coach is not limited to the first team.
...
"What a pleasant weather!"
A short, chubby middle-aged man wearing a black polo shirt approached from the direction of the administrative office building with a smile, and the smile on his face had a very unique affinity.
This is also the source of his greatest personal charm.
Hooni Calafate, the head of Real Madrid's international football department, is a high-ranking, but a dude with mixed reputations.
At least, Yang Yang wasn't very cold to him.
Because before the end of last season, he just fooled Xiao Yangguang into signing a contract. Although the terms of the contract were very generous and Xiao Yangguang did not suffer, Yang Yang was still uncomfortable, because this guy didn't talk to him beforehand. When the father said hello, he took the curve to save the country and persuaded Su Ye.
If he had asked in advance, Yang Yang would have signed it, but he didn't ask the question at all!
"My biggest wish now is to buy a plane ticket to fly to Mallorca, rent a beach chair on the beach, and bask in the sun comfortably. Wow, that must be a great feeling!"
Seeing this guy's immersed appearance, Yang Yang felt awkward.
Although he thought so just now, but now he despises those who have such thoughts.
It's obviously a working day, why can't you work well?
Thinking about playing and enjoying all day long, does such a person have a future?
Therefore, Yang Yang pointed at him with contempt, shook his head, turned around and left.
"Hey, Yang, don't go, I have something to do with you." Calafate immediately followed.
"Just tell me if you have something to do."
"Hehe, talk to your office."
"Hey, I seem to have said before that you are not welcome in my office."
"It's a serious matter, and it's a big deal." Calafate reminded, "Besides, you're not a stingy person, right? I did something wrong with Xiao Yangguang, I'm not afraid that he will run away from Aja. Did Kes go?"
Not to mention Yang Guang is okay, but Yang Yang felt uncomfortable again and left immediately.
Calafate really wanted to give himself a slap, so he hurried up to catch up with his smiling face and said all the good things.
Finally, under his stalking, Yang Yang let him into his office.
This guy came from a business background, thick-skinned is his most basic professional quality, so after entering the office, he did not care about Yang Yang not entertaining him at all, poured water for himself and Yang Yang, and praised Yang Yang again. A few words in the office.
Today is really the first time that Calafate has entered Yang Yang's office since Yang Yang coached Real Madrid.
Yang Yang sat in front of the computer at his desk to deal with some things in the morning. Occasionally, he raised his head to look at Calafate, and he couldn't help laughing. He didn't really hate this guy, but always felt uncomfortable.
Calafate is very good friends with Ronaldo and Robert Carlos. He is able to mingle in the Real Madrid team from the chairman to the general manager, to the players, and even the players in the youth training camp.
Working in Real Madrid in 2014, he was first assigned to South America as a scout, and then promoted to the head of scouting in South America. Due to his outstanding performance, he was quickly promoted to the head of the international scouting department, and now he is in charge of the international football department.
This speed of promotion, and his image in the Real Madrid team, is enough to prove that this guy's ability is absolutely no problem.
And he has a lot of achievements. For example, he introduced Odegaard at the beginning, and then introduced Casemiro, and then later introduced Vinicius, Valverde and Rodrigo. Almost all of Real Madrid's introduction of South American players in recent years have been from his handwriting.
The reason why he said he came from a business background is because everyone at Real Madrid knows that this guy has bad eyesight.
Or it should be said that he does not have the kind of eye for people, but what he is best at is dealing with transfer transactions.
He always has a way to get players, their families and agents so that Real Madrid can get the players they want.
Of course, he has also been criticized a lot for this. For example, not long ago, a group of Real Madrid members attacked him, thinking that he paid a lot of money when he introduced Brazilian players Vinicius and Rodrigo. The agency fee was as high as 30 million euros, which made Real Madrid members very dissatisfied and asked the club to explain.
Real Madrid officially protects Calafate, because everyone knows that the introduction of South American players, the agent's commission is very high, Calafate can grab Vinicius and Rodrigo from so many powerful teams For these two geniuses, paying high intermediary fees is one of the means.
But this is not enough, because other teams can afford the same price. The key is how to convince agents and players to transfer to Real Madrid. Calafate has done a very good job.
Yang Yang admired Calafate's ability very much, and he didn't hate this guy, he just gave him a look.
But Calafate obviously didn't care, and instead stuck on it.
...
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yang Yang finally broke the silence.
Calafate immediately stood up with a smile, "It's nothing, just thinking, can Ajax resell Rainier to us? The price is cheaper, after all, we were the first to look at him."
"Wait!" Yang Yang interrupted him, "If I remember correctly, Ajax's scouts first fell in love with him and followed him for a while. Follow him?"
Yang Yang remembers this very clearly, because Ajax also has a very capable South American scout, that is Yang Yang's best friend, Maxwell.
Although he was exposed in person, Calafate still blushed and breathed, "Anyway, it's good whoever sees it first. Now that we want to introduce it, can we give it a friendship price?"
Yang Yang stared at Calafate, he absolutely did not believe that Calafate was looking for him for this matter.
This should be because this bastard wants to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to ask for something cheap.
Thinking of this, Yang Yang lost his good face, and asked with a cold face: "Ajax, you go to Ajax to talk, if you are not serious, then I will leave."
Calafate was suddenly speechless, he felt that his methods were completely useless in front of Yang Yang.
"Okay, I said it." Calafate sighed and obeyed, almost like a conjuration, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and put it in front of Yang Yang's desk, "This is a Uruguayan The 18-year-old, we followed him for more than two months, and teams such as Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Valencia and Napoli were also following him."
Yang Yang didn't reach out to pick up the USB flash drive, but listened to him silently.
"Facundo Peristri, a winger, capable of both left and right flanks, has speed, skill, self-confidence and focus, currently playing for Penarol, the one we brought in Valverde The club, at a young age, has already put on the No. 10 jersey."
Yang Yang nodded. He has seen a piece of news. Atletico Madrid has been arranging scouts to follow this player. It is said that the scouting department of Ajax has also paid attention to him, but for such players, Ajax Usually not available.
To put it bluntly, for some rookies, only wealthy teams have a chance.
"You can make a decision, what can you show me?" Yang Yang asked strangely.
"His transfer fee should basically be more than 10 million euros, so we need your help to check."
This is the decision Florentino made after the celebration dinner before Christmas last December, that is, Real Madrid's youth training camp signings, transfers of more than 10 million euros, must be confirmed by Yang Yang.
On the one hand, it is to highlight Yang Yang's core position in the Real Madrid team, and on the other hand, he wants to use Yang Yang's vision to inspect the players.
Everyone knows that from Ajax to Real Madrid, even as early as when Yang Yang strongly recommended De Bruyne, they have achieved great success, plus he is the current coach of the team, so Florentino only will make such a decision.
Yang Yang also knew that, so he didn't say much. He picked up the USB flash drive, plugged it into the computer, first looked at the player's information and data, and then watched a few video recordings of the game submitted by Real Madrid scouts.
"This player is really good, but he's used to playing in South America. There are still many unreasonable movements and handling of the ball during the game, and his body is okay. Overall, it's not bad. I'll take a look at it when I have time. you reply."
Calafate suddenly laughed, "Okay, with your words, then there is basically no big problem. We all know that your vision is definitely not wrong. As for the rationality of playing football, bring in After that, you can slowly tune in."
Under Yang Yang's training, Mbappe and Vinicius have improved the rationality of playing and handling the ball, especially Vinicius. The Brazilian winger has begun to change this season, which depends on Yang Yang's training on him. .
You know, Yang Yang himself is known for his rationality and stability in playing football, so he has a lot of experience in this aspect, and he is even more handy when training players.
Yang Yang didn't have the heart to entangle with Calafate, and naturally he wouldn't care if the other party deliberately flattered him. Anyway, it sounded pretty cool, so he smiled at him very rarely.
Calafate knew that Yang Yang was very busy, so he got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he did not forget to encourage him, "To play Barcelona at home the day after tomorrow, don't leave your hands and kill them!"
Yang Yang suddenly laughed again, "You don't need to say it, just wait and see!"
