Chapter 217 Milan, I Can Only Help You So Far

(Chapter 215 of the previous chapter didn’t feel like I wrote anything special, but it was blocked for a long time, and then it was deleted in half before it was released. Friends who want to read the original version can join the group to watch it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t read it, and it won’t affect the main thread.)
After staying in China until late June, Pan Yi set off for Hamburg.

July 7st is the start time of Hamburg's new season training camp. Of course, he has to return to Hamburg before this time to make his preparations.

The matter of the Football Association was naturally exposed. After Pan Yi explained the pros and cons to his parents, they also understood.

How can parents not want their children to be good?

Since staying in the country really has no future, it is better to let the children work hard outside!

During this time at home, Pan Yi certainly wasn't completely idle.

The first is that he has been keeping in touch and communicating with the players to understand their latest thoughts.

After all, the summer window is about to open, and the Hamburg players have performed so well this season, it is almost impossible for no team to seduce them.

Temptation is everywhere!
But Pan Yi is ambitious for the new season, and the players feel it.

Pan Yi is doing big things, and the players want to follow him to do big things, so basically no one thinks about leaving.

Especially the main players.

They are also very clear that Pan Yi values ​​them very much, and designed many tactics according to their technical characteristics, so as to stimulate their full potential.

And if they really go to other teams, they may not be able to fully exert their full strength.

Moreover, Pan Yi also urged the club to be satisfied with the treatment of some players, and took the initiative to increase the salary that should be increased.

For example, Sun Xingmin, who has been in the first team for three years, has directly raised his weekly salary to [-] euros.

This is already the team's maximum salary.

This is already a very good salary even in the Bundesliga.

Even in a team like Bayern, the weekly salary of [-] can be in the middle, about the same as Toni Kroos.

By the way, the current maximum salary at Bayern is the two of Robery, both of whom have a weekly salary of almost 20 euros.

Renewing the contract with Sun Xingmin also means setting an example for the team, and it is also an incentive for other players.

As long as you perform well, you don't need to mention it, the club will naturally take the initiative to renew your contract with a salary increase!
Of course, Sun Xingmin is quite special. In addition to being a little longer in the team and performing well, he is also a Hamburg youth training, a real prince.

Therefore, other players who have just joined for a year or half a year will naturally not sign new contracts so soon, otherwise the burden on the club will be too great.

Player salaries account for the vast majority of club spending!

Assuming that the average weekly salary of each player is 250 euros, the annual salary is about 20 million. If the first team counts 5000 players, [-] million euros will be spent here.

That’s it, without counting the salaries of the coaches and staff, as well as various expenses for the reserve team, youth team, and venues.

If it is too high, it is very difficult for small clubs to afford.

Why did Milan want to sell people?

For example, Ibrahimovic's weekly salary has reached 30 euros, and there are many players with a weekly salary of more than [-] in the team. The salary expenditure of players alone exceeds [-] million in a year.

This is why even though Milan won the Triple Crown and got a lot of bonuses, they still couldn't stand it when their investment was reduced.

Even if you can stand it for one year, you won't be able to stand it for the next year!Unless you can triple crown every year.

And shortly after returning to Hamburg, Pan Yi really heard the news that Berlusconi was going to be overwhelmed!
The agreement between Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to be sold to Paris Saint-Germain has entered the substantive stage of operation, and many players in Milan have been placed on the transfer market, waiting for a price.

The even better news is that some of these players are actually not too expensive.

After the poor start of Serie A last season, Allegris thought about it and felt that it was because the players left by Pan Yi were not suitable for the new tactics he designed, which led to the consecutive defeats.

So he set to work.

In terms of the basic formation, he did not change Pan Yi's 433 system, after all, he is used to it after a year of use.

On the defensive line, Allegri basically abandoned Van Dijk.

He still feels that Van Dijk is still too young and inexperienced as a central defender, and his defense is sometimes too frizzy.

So he used new aid, the central defender combination of Zapata and Thiago Silva from Colombia, plus the original two fullbacks of De Sciglio + Abate, forming a new defensive system.

In the midfield, Ah Jiong used "both civil and military skills", that is, Montolivo and Muntari, coupled with the veteran Ambrosini's collocation method, and Kan, who was thin and lacked the ability to control the air in his eyes, Specially excluded the main lineup.

The reorganization of the forward line is relatively bold. Except for the center Ibrahimovic and the left winger Mane, Allegri moved the big Boateng who used to play in the midfield to the forward line to replace Salah. To play another winger position.

The reason is that it is enough to have a breakthrough point for Mane, and now Milan's striker needs more hardness and impact.

What's even more outrageous is that Allegri's various black and hard styles of play are really effective!
After winning several consecutive rounds and getting rid of the shadow of losing streak at the beginning of the season, Allegri also firmly believes that his lineup is the most suitable for the current Milan tactics!
So it has been used until the end of the season.

Although the last four were all empty, despite being swept out by Barcelona 4:0...

But anyway, the league finally won the third place, did not fall out of the Champions League?
And the direct consequence of Ah Jiong's doing this, in addition to the decline in performance, is the decline in the value of players like Salah, Kanter, and Van Dijk.

Before they entered Milan, they were unknown people, but after playing for one season, their valuation in Germany soared.

But after returning to the bench again, the value of these people will definitely not be high, at least not too high.

So... Hehe, now is the best time for Pan Yi to make a move!
……

"Pan Yi wants to buy our four players for 2000 million??"

Milanello training base, when Galliani heard the news from Baresi, the whole person jumped up.

"Why didn't he rob the bank?" Galliani was furious.

Pan Yi has already sent a more formal offer to Milan.

Salah, Kanter, Van Dijk, and Aubameyang have a total asking price of 2000 million euros.

Although these four players are currently unable to play the main force in Milan, this offer is indeed a bit insulting.

After all, in Milan's Triple Crown season, these people all played brilliantly, and their worth also rose at that time.

After a year of bench career, although their value has dropped, it is not a problem for each of them to sell for more than 1000 million.

Even Aubameyang, who has been a rotation player for two seasons, has been more inclined to use him for most of the season than Allegri, as Allegri seems to prefer his technical characteristics. Salah.

In other words, these four people would have to sell for about 4000 million according to the market price!
But now, Pan Yi only offered 2000 million yuan, which is almost half of the price...

Seeing Galliani lose his temper, Baresi stood aside awkwardly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He knew that he would have to talk to Pan Yi after all.

He understands Milan's current situation and also knows Galliani's current mood.

First of all, with the economic downturn in Italy, and then the glory of the small World Cup is no longer there, and Berlusconi's focus is no longer on the team's side.

But as he got older, none of his five children were interested in taking over.

Because for the business empire, Milan at that time was a big toy that needed to continue to burn money, and this toy was only liked by their father.

What they want to take over is a money-making tool, not a money-burning toy!

Therefore, as the Berlusconi family’s investment in Milan has been decreasing year by year, this year they are planning to sell Thiago Silva and Ibrahimovic to Paris in a package, which also marks the official start of old Bei’s shrinking investment up.

Milan's ambitions are gone, and they don't want to make progress, but Galliani is still at the club, and he still needs to think about the team.

He wants to recover some funds by selling players as much as possible to support the club's operations.

But selling players is not so easy to sell.

Well-known world-class stars like Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva will of course attract the favor of more big clubs, and it is easier to sell them at a good price.

But now everyone knows that Milan is in urgent need of selling people for cash, and everyone is not in a hurry to sell, but to lower the price according to the situation.

Even Ibrahimovic and his sister-in-law didn't actually sell for a particularly good price when the local tyrant Paris made a move, let alone the other lesser-known players in the team.

Players like Kanter, Van Dijk, and Salah that everyone thinks are "flash in the pan", even if some teams are interested in them, they are a little bit concerned (such as Milan Pato is an example).

After all, it is very common in world football that young players don't play at all after they buy them back!
In order to reduce risks, they will also choose to use lower prices to test and inquire. In fact, there has been no formal quotation.

In other words, Pan Yi's four-person package quotation is already the most direct and straightforward recently!

Therefore, Galliani is angry, but he still wants to have a chat with Pan Yi.

He is the only one who knows the best!
……

"Aubameyang can't be sold, let the other three make a price." Galliani said straight to the point on the phone.

"Oh?" Pan Yi first raised a question mark, but soon Galliani explained what he meant.

The biggest difference between Aubameyang and the other three is that he is a product of Milan's youth training, which is the "own man" in the eyes of fans.

Unlike Van Dijk and his "mercenaries", fans tend to have deeper feelings for youth players.

Especially for clubs like Milan, "loyalty" has always been a very important team creed, and I hope there will be more stories of one man, one city like Maldini and Baresi in the team.

Therefore, even though Milan's current situation is very difficult, Galliani still hopes to keep Aubameyang, including youth players like De Sciglio, so that Milan fans can be considered comforted.

Of course, from Pan Yi's point of view, Aubameyang is not necessary.

When he was in Milan, Aubameyang was just a surprise player. In a tactical sense, he was actually not as good as the current Sun Xingmin.

He proposed to pack four people before, purely because he bought it because the price is cheap now, and then see if he can also play a rotation.

Now that Galliani doesn't want to sell, Pan Yi naturally won't force it.

So, he said simply: "In that case, two thousand and five million for three people, isn't that interesting enough?"

"Cough!" Galliani coughed dryly, "Outsiders don't understand the value of these people. You've been with them for so long, don't you understand? Are they only worth so much?"

Pan Yi laughed: "But they are just substitutes now. Who will spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of players who haven't played much?"

This makes sense.

Only a traverser like Pan Yi can believe that the Kanters will not be abolished because of a year of waste.

Most people, seeing a player sitting on the bench all the time, will doubt his ability and state.

He didn't play football, how can you observe his performance?
Galliani was silent for a few seconds.

Pan Yi asked: "We are also old friends. Ming people don't speak secretly, so just say it, how much do you want?"

"3000 million. Three people pack, 3000 million." Galliani gritted his teeth.

"This is trying to trick me..." Pan Yi said with a chuckle, "The team I'm in now is Hamburg, not Bayern! Where did I get so much money from?"

"If you make it to the Champions League, you will have money. I believe your transfer budget this year will not be small."

"Tsk tsk... It seems that everything is under your control. Have you forgotten that when I asked you to introduce these players, I only spent a total of... 200 million? Are you there now? So ruthless, killing me like this?"

"This..." Galliani hesitated for a moment, and even blushed a little, with blue veins bursting out on his forehead, arguing, "How can buying and selling players be called slaughter?... The transfer market is not all. Is that so?"

A series of difficult words, such as "market economy" and "growth premium", made Pan Yi laugh.

"Okay, 3000 million is 3000 million." Pan Yi said suddenly, interrupting Galliani's chatter.

"Really?" Pan Yi's straightforwardness surprised Galliani a little.

"Of course. Just treat me as a bit of a loser and help Milan!" Pan Yi laughed.

"..." Galliani suddenly felt a little excited, "I'll go to Hamburg to find you right away!"

……

Pan Yi is willing to pay 3000 million to buy people. On the one hand, of course, he really has feelings for Milan.

At the moment when Milan is encountering difficulties, he can be regarded as a gentle hand to slow down its decline.

So don't worry about these millions of things anymore.

However, Pan Yi is pessimistic about whether the money will really play a big role.

In other words, he won the Triple Crown in Milan, which means he lasted for more than a year...

Alas, Milan, I really can only help you so far.

On the other hand, Pan Yi really needs these three players!
Kante, Van Dijk, Salah...

Tsk tsk, if Pan Yi is really asked to find replacements for these three people in today's transfer market, will he be able to find them?
Even if there is, can it be done at a price of 3000 million?
With these three people, Pan Yi can even use the new conversion idea of ​​combining 433 and 4231 in the tactical play of the new season, making the overall play of Hamburg more flexible and rich, and it is bound to greatly enhance the overall strength of Hamburg. strength.

Among other things, Van Dijk's ability to play the ball is much stronger than the current Kjaer.

Therefore, Pan Yi did not hesitate, 3000 million is 3000 million!
He was afraid that if he continued to bargain, the deal might be blown.

At that time, the one who regrets it will be himself...

……

After the two parties reached an agreement, the transfer procedures were handled quickly.

Because the players don't have any problems in this regard!
Kante, Van Dijk and Salah were all overjoyed when they learned that Pan Yi was going to take them to Hamburg!

To be able to play under such an awesome coach who appreciates them, what more can you ask for?

Even when talking about specific personal contracts, everyone said that they only need to follow the original contract.

But Pan Yi did not treat them badly. After all, they have indeed increased a lot in the past two years.

100% salary increase decisively!

Of course, since they originally signed some "child labor" contracts, even if it doubled, it would not be too high, at most it would be about [-] weekly wages.

At the same time, Pan Yi also accelerated the process of leaving some players in the team.

After buying Mitrovic, Kanter, Van Dijk and Salah, some players who couldn't play in the corresponding positions had to be sold.

Therefore, in addition to Berry and Ogo who were already determined to leave the team, Bruma, Mancien, Sarah, Shelbrey, Teshe and others also began to enter the transfer negotiation stage...

Here, who will go and who will stay depends on the final negotiation results and personal wishes, but it is not so important to Pan Yi.

Because he now has two very complete lineups.

Center: Vardy, Mitrovic.

Frontcourt: Sun Xingmin, De Bruyne, Wu Lei, Lin Zhijian, Charhanoglu, Salah.

Midfielders: Casemiro, Kanter, Paulinho, Makoto Hasebe.

Defenders: Robertson, Rudiger, Van Dijk, Carvajal, Janssen, Westermann, Kjaer, Dickmeyer.

Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Neuhaus.

At that time, with the addition of the third goalkeeper Drobney and two players who are willing to stay on the team, a 25-man squad can be formed.

And this list of 25 players is obviously enough to cope with Hamburg's third-line battle this season!

In fact, in most cases, these 22 people are enough.

Under the scientific training of Pintus, Hamburg's injuries were significantly reduced last season, and with the addition of more capable players this season, Pan Yi will be more comfortable in the rotation.

Besides, there are many versatile players who can play multiple positions. For example, Westerman can play all positions in the midfield. For example, Jansen is a dragon on the left. Casemiro and Makoto Hasebe can both play Play central defender.

In other words, unless there is an extreme injury situation, Hamburg has two or three options for each position.

With such a complete lineup, the average age of Hamburg's first team has become lower, even lower than last season!

This also made some media suspicious.

They believe that Pan Yi spent 3000 million euros to bring three substitutes from AC Milan who couldn't play last season, and brought an unknown young center forward from Serbia. This summer window is definitely a loss.

And even the media has doubts about the prospects of Hamburg.

They feel that Hamburg's previous slogan that they can compete with Bayern for the league championship now seems a bit too exaggerated.

Can this whole lineup really compete with Bayern?

Hamburg isn't even in the top three in bookmaker odds for winning the title.

After Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, they are only fourth.

But Pan Yi is obviously not interested in such remarks.

Last season, you also said that Hamburg was going to be relegated. What happened?It didn't just slap you in the face.

Then this season, the same thing will be done again!And hit harder!
Pan Yi is very happy now.

Xia Chuang's transfer work was completed so easily, not to mention that the team's strength has been greatly enhanced, and the transfer budget has not even been used up.

The total expenditure is 600 million, and selling players can recover about 1000 million, which means the net expenditure is only more than 2000 million.

With more than 2000 million, he has created a strong team that can compete for any championship!

With the saved money, he can also use it to raise the salary cap, wouldn't it be more beautiful to raise the wages of the players and boost morale?
……

After the players returned to the Hamburg training camp one after another, Pan Yi specially chatted with the two players.

One is Wu Lei.

As a fellow countryman, Pan Yi also has a glimmer of hope for Longguo football. Pan Yi naturally has some special feelings for Wu Lei.

But there are some things that must also be made clear to him.

As Hamburg's main right winger last season, Pan Yi clearly told Wu Lei that due to the joining of Salah in the new season, he may encounter unprecedented fierce competition.

Salah is much stronger than Lin Zhijian!

Faced with such a challenge, Wu Lei can accept it calmly, and is also very grateful to Pan Yi for being able to talk to him about these things openly.

He is a professional after all and understands that competition exists wherever it is.

A truly strong player grows gradually in the fierce competition.

Then Pan Yi made another request to him.

That is, in the new season, Wu Lei needs to deliberately play on the left in training to hone his reverse foot cutting skills!
In Pan Yi's 4231 formation last season, Wu Lei existed as a smooth winger on the right. His main tactical purpose was to deliver shells to the forwards in the center after breaking through.

But this season, due to the joining of Van Dijk, Kanter and others, Pan Yi is likely to regain the 433 style of play he played in Milan.

At that time, free-footed wingers will not be used very often in such formations.

Therefore, this also poses a new challenge for Wu Lei. He must master this new skill in order to occupy a place in Pan Yi's ever-changing tactical system!
Of course, Pan Yi still continued his usual style.

Beating is only a small part, and more is praise and encouragement. He hopes that Wu Lei can show a better performance than last season.

He also said:

"Since we will fight on three fronts this season, there will be a lot more games."

"Even if you can't reach the level of the main players for the time being, even if you rotate, the final playing time will not be much less than last season."

"So, you still have to pay attention to your state at all times, and try to bring out your best!"

"I hope you can become the first Dragon Country player to win the Bundesliga title, and also the first Dragon Country player to win the Champions League!"

Pan Yi lit a fire in Wu Lei's heart.

The passion for competition, the desire for honor, no matter what kind of fire it is, Pan Yi hopes that it can burn in Wu Lei's heart!
Of course, Pan Yi said that there is not a lot of time to rotate players, and he is not talking nonsense.

If a team has multiple quality players at a certain position, that's it.

For example, in Manchester City in recent years, Grealish, Foden, and Mahrez at the winger position; Gundogan, Rodri, and B seat at the midfield position all choose two out of three, but who is the absolute main force? two?It seems hard to say.

It is because they each have their own strengths in ability, and sometimes the B seat will run to play as a winger, or Gundogan will play as a midfielder, etc. Sometimes the two groups are not mutually exclusive, resulting in the final result. Playing time will not be too much difference.

……

Another player that Pan Yi talked to alone was Mitrovic.

He clearly told Mitrovic that he will be an important substitute for the team this season, but he will not have less chances to play.

"I believe in your strength and potential, but I believe you can also feel that you are still far away from Vardy."

"You should also know that if you want to reach his level, you still need a certain amount of hard work and training."

"But don't worry, you also have characteristics and abilities that Vardy doesn't have. Therefore, I will often use yours, please be ready on the bench at any time!"

This kind of straightforward speech also made Mitrovic nod frequently.

He also said that he was taken to the five major leagues at the age of 19, and it is unrealistic to expect to play the main force when he comes up.

The reason why he came was because he knew that Pan Yi was good at guiding young players, and he would definitely learn more in Hamburg and make himself progress faster.

In other words, Mitrovic agrees with Pan Yi's statement very much, and appreciates Pan Yi's direct communication with him.

Pan Yi finally said that his employment depends on the status and strength.

If one day Mitrovic's ability has really reached the level of the main force, then Pan Yi will not hesitate to put him in the starting lineup!
This undoubtedly gave Mitrovic more encouragement!
