Chapter 436

"Master Huan, I don't quite understand why you sold Falcao?"

After seeing off Jorge Mendez, Pini Zahavi asked Yang Huan suspiciously.

Didn't this young master Huan always say that he wants to bring in the best and best football stars in the world?

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

Yang Huan smiled faintly. He definitely couldn't say that in his previous life, Falcao's state fell sharply due to an injury.

You know, Falcao's current official age is February 28, but if he underreported two years of age as the outside world feared, then he should be [-] years old this year.

Given that once a South American player turns 30, his physical fitness is not as good as before. How can the 28-year-old Falcao be sold at a high price?
Of course, Yang Huan would never say these words.

"We currently have Ibrahimovic and Drogba in Southampton, we don't need another center forward."

Regardless of how old Ibrahimovic and Drogba are, the problem is that they are getting stronger and stronger.

And these two centers are getting smarter as they play!
Pini Zahavi would like to say, don't you still have Monaco and Atletico Madrid?
But thinking about it again, Master Huan has always had his own set of ideas when doing things, so he can just listen to it, why bother to ask?
"My positioning for 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 steadily entering the Champions League can it be possible to improve the team's finances!"

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

It's not just the huge appearance fees, game bonuses and match-day operating income, but also the attention it brings after consecutively entering the Champions League, which in turn attracts the attention of more sponsors and promotes the team's commercial income.

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

But there is also a problem.

Falcao was sold, Diego, Pizzi and Silvio were sent away, Thiago's whereabouts were unknown, and Koke's transfer to Southampton made Atletico Madrid's entire midfield face 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 is rich in strikers, which is due to the team's tactical style.

But few people have noticed that Atletico Madrid's sharp strikers in recent years are actually not as good as one generation after another.

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

When it comes to Diego Costa, he is worse than Falcao, but Diego Costa has played other roles in Simeone's tactical system, strengthening the traditional mark of the sharp striker.

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 terms of the frontcourt, Turan and Adrian are both capable. If Salvio stays, it will be a powerful supplement, but it is still a little thinner. It is also necessary to introduce another frontcourt attacker.

In the middle of the midfield, Gabi and Mario Suarez are the main defensive midfielders for Atletico Madrid to win La Liga and reach the Champions League final. In addition, Raul Garcia, who performed well after being loaned to Osasuna, is not bad.

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

As for the defense line, Godin, Juanfran, Felipe, and Miranda are all the main players in Atletico Madrid's La Liga championship and 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 go to mix with fellow Simeone, and by the way strengthen Atletico Madrid's defensive strength, and add the thickness of the benches on the left and right sides.

After such an operation, after selling Falcao, Yang Huan does not need to invest much money, but it can make the three lines of Atletico Madrid get a strong supplement.

The only big problem is the position of the goalkeeper. After all, Asenjo is still not expected to be high.

Yang Huan intends to send Courtois to Atletico Madrid as the main goalkeeper.

The Belgian goalkeeper has made rapid progress in Southampton for two seasons, but he has always lived in the strong shadow of Neuer, and now it is time to go out and take charge of 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 carefully, and sent several talented young players in the team to exercise, such as Markovic and Kovacic.

In Yang Huan's heart, the three teams he owns have different positions.

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

Atletico 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 consecutively.

As for whether he can reproduce the glory of his previous life, whether Simeone can still lead his team to win the La Liga and reach the Champions League final, Yang Huan doesn't pay much attention to it.

In other words, Yang Huan's goal for Simeone is to keep the third place in the league!
Monaco is located in Ligue [-], and it is certain to be promoted to Ligue [-] as soon as possible, but no matter from which point of view, Monaco is not suitable for a big fight. At least the constraints of the stadium and environment limit the development prospects of Monaco.

Unless Yang Huan is willing to burn 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 French domestic market and Monaco’s football enthusiasm, and steadily participate in the Champions League and Europa League. This is the most practical 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 at the lowest cost as soon as possible, and at the same time, mainly local French players.

This is undoubtedly a means to cater 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 emerge in France.

As long as Monaco takes advantage of it, it may not be impossible to flex its muscles.

……

While Yang Huan was thinking, both Peter Kenyon and Pini Zahavi remained silent.

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 deserted, and even the tea was not changed when it was cold.

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

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

This suddenly caught Peter Kenyon and the two of them by surprise.

Master Huan, what are you doing here?
It seems to be looking for some information, but what is it?
"Pini!"

"what?"

"I know you have a lot of contacts in Ligue [-], help me with one thing!"

Pini Zahavi became excited as soon as he heard it, and he would definitely not suffer a loss if he helped Master Huan do things.

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

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

Yang Huan spoke lightly, while Pini Zahavi listened carefully.

"Last year they spent 300 million euros from us to introduce the main goalkeeper Rufael. As a result, Rufael has played for them for a full season and has become their main goalkeeper. But until now, they still owe 200 million euros in transfer fees!"

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

Installment payments and arrears of transfer fees are very common in the European transfer market. How many people in Europe are like Master Huan, who basically pay in cash?

Saint-Etienne is not a big team either, and their annual transfer budget may be a pitiful three to four million euros. If they don't buy players to make a fortune, there will be even fewer people who can invest in the transfer market.

"You tell them, either pay me 200 million euros, or return Rufael, otherwise, I will use their players to make up the number!"

After hearing this, Pini Zahavi and Peter Kenyon were both dumbfounded and helpless.

Master Huan's move is too barbaric, right?
However, to be honest, in European football, there are many precedents of players who cannot pay off debts like this, but there are many. It's just that ordinary fans don't know much about it.

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

For example, Nkuru, who moved to Marseille, was a central defender who shined in Ligue [-] last season.

There are also Korean players like Park Joo-young who went to Arsenal, and Rufael who went to Saint-Etienne, they are all very capable.

As for the youth training, the Monaco team currently has Togo monster defender Mango, Cameroon international Edgar Sally, midfielder Mendy with the title of Marc Claire, Croatia international goalkeeper Subasic and so on.

In view of the particularity of the goalkeeper, it is impossible for Saint-Etienne to let Rufell go.

The latter was the pillar of Saint-Etienne's defense that won seventh in Ligue [-] last season. Can such a player be released?

Therefore, Saint-Etienne can only have two choices, either give the money, or take the players to pay off the debt.

For Saint-Etienne, who has always been budget-conscious, 200 million euros is quite astonishing, and I'm afraid it may not be available all at once.

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

It can be seen that Master Huan, who has never been short of money, has taken a fancy to other players and forced Saint-Etienne to let him go.

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

Even if Yang Huan was so thick-skinned, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Hey buddy, can you stop making me so dark?
Am I not angry?

Who is Master Kehuan?

How could it be twitchy?
Just said a name on the spot!

Pini Zahavi really knows the European League like the back of his hand. As soon as Yang Huan said his name, he immediately knew who it was.

But this time, the Israelites smiled wryly.

Everyone heard that Master Huan had a sharp eye, and it was true. He immediately focused on the most important genius.

"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 persuade him to let him go!"

Romeyer, one of the co-presidents of Saint-Etienne, is in charge of sport and finance.

Yang Huan, on the other hand, chuckled and spread his arms, "Then give me the money!"

Uh……

Pini Zahavi and Peter Kenyon looked at each other, wanting to laugh.

This young master Huan is too rascal, right?
But soon, Pini Zahavi had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
