Chapter 439 Money is not a problem!
"Aubameyang?"

When Pini Zahavi returned to Monaco with a satisfactory answer sheet and an extra surprise, he did not expect that Master Huan had no impression of Aubameyang he mentioned at all.

It even hurt his confidence and asked, "Who is it?"

The Monaco scout Jean Luc Bissin almost burst out laughing.

Pini Zahavi is depressed, what about the surprise?
Okay, what about the compliment from Master Huan?
God, you don't want to play me like this!
"Aubameyang is a rookie who has emerged in the Ligue [-] in the past season. He has scored [-] league goals. He is only behind Giroud and Hazard in the scorer list. He is in the limelight."

Jean Luc Bissin took the initiative to play the role of narrator.

Yang Huan was a little surprised when he heard it, "It sounds pretty good!"

Pini Zahavi laughed immediately, "That's natural."

After a pause, he took over the responsibility of introduction.

"If you want to talk about Aubameyang, you have to mention his father, a former Gabon international, who later became a scout for AC Milan, but this guy is also quite a spoof. Other stars didn't come out, but he stuffed his three sons into the Milan youth training camp."

Yang Huan laughed when he heard it, "Is this considered a public weapon for private use?"

Jean-Luc Bissin couldn't help but smile, this matter is also an anecdote in the scouting circle.

"That's not to say, his three sons are all very good. Among them, the second one was once favored by Carlo Ancelotti, promoted to the first team, participated in the Berlusconi Cup, and scored the winning goal for AC Milan in Juventus, but then it didn't work anymore."

Yang Huan let out a sigh, this kind of injury to Zhong Yong has long been seen in professional football.

"The third child has been on loan for the past few years, and he played for Monaco in the season from [-] to [-]."

"Really?" Yang Huan immediately looked at Jean Luc Bissin, "What do you think of him?"

The latter is Monaco's chief scout.

Jean-Luc Bissin shook his head, "I came here in the summer of [-], and he had already gone to Saint-Etienne at that time."

"Oh."

"However, I have heard people from Monaco mention that Aubameyang performed well during the half-year loan period. He was very fast, just like lightning. He is 1.8 meters five and a bit thin, but his flexibility is quite good. Many people think that this embryo is very similar to Henry back then."

Henry, Arsenal's legendary center forward, made his debut in Monaco, then went to Juventus, played for half a season, but his performance was sluggish. After half a year, he switched to Arsenal, and then he became famous in the Gunners and became the world's top center forward.

When Yang Huan heard that he looked very much like Henry, his heart shook.

"Unexpectedly, you really brought back a treasure!" Yang Huan smiled and praised Pini Zahavi.

These days, how many people can be said to be like Henry?
Besides, with such a fast speed, even if you can't be Henry, it's not bad to play a dozen wings.

And they have achieved results in Ligue [-], with [-] goals in a single season.

"Hey, I'm surprised. Since he is so strong, why is Saint-Etienne willing to let go?" Yang Huan asked curiously again.

Jean-Luc Bissin is also quite curious now.

Pini Zahavi smiled slightly, "Actually, Saint-Etienne only bought out the ownership of Aubameyang from AC Milan half a year ago, and it only cost 100 million euros in total!"

"100 million euros?" Jean-Luc Bissing was also taken aback. "This is unreasonable. I remember that Aubameyang scored eight goals in the first half of the season. He also participated in the African Cup of Africa during the winter break. He also performed very eye-catching. Why is it so cheap?"

Pini Zahavi laughed, "This is where Saint-Etienne is smart, and it is also where AC Milan is negligent!"

After a pause, he continued.

"AC Milan has been laying off staff in the past few years. First, they laid off the people in the Milan laboratory, and then streamlined the staff, including the scouting team, so that no one is tracking the players who are on loan. They don't understand Aubameyang's performance."

"Saint-Etienne is very smart. Seeing that AC Milan did not follow up and didn't pay attention to Aubameyang at all, they played tricks during the negotiation. As a result, AC Milan was fooled and sold Aubameyang for 100 million euros!"

Yang Huan couldn't help but nodded.

It is said that scouting is not important, look, this is being cheated, right?
Yang Huan secretly decided in his heart that whether it is out of a responsible attitude towards the players or out of an attitude of ensuring the interests of the club, he must arrange manpower to track and help the Southampton players who are on loan in the future.

Pini Zahavi didn't know that he had aroused Master Huan's thoughts, so he continued to laugh.

"I know Romeyer best. He has been intriguing with Caiazzo for many years. Who doesn't know the whole Ligue [-]? I will use him to force him to send Zouma and Aubameyang."

"Good job!" Yang Huan immediately praised with a smile.

is not that right?

They finally cheated AC Milan, and now Monaco went to cheat them. What a good thing?
From this matter, it is not difficult to see that intelligence is the most important thing in any industry!
Pini Zahavi was happy now, "Master Huan, Romeyer mentioned to me several times that he hopes to serve as a satellite team for Southampton. I think we can consider it properly. This team is still very good."

The so-called satellite team is actually equivalent to a youth training team that helps train young players.

Once Saint-Etienne becomes a satellite of Southampton, Southampton can arrange players to go to Saint-Etienne to receive game training, and at the same time have the first right of purchase for Saint-Etienne players.

Of course, there is an annual fee for this.

There have also been incidents in European football where some satellite teams felt that their home team was too stingy and terminated the agreement in advance.

Yang Huan thought for a while, then looked at Jean-Luc Bissin, "What do you think?"

The middle-aged French didn't expect Master Huan to ask such a sudden question. He was a little surprised. He quickly thought about it, nodded and said, "I think it can be considered. After all, Saint-Etienne is a Ligue [-] team. If they take the initiative to come to the door, the fee must not be high. I think it's a good deal."

Yang Huan also felt that it made sense, so he waved his hand, "Okay, Pinney, I will leave this matter to you!"

"Okay!" Pini Zahavi immediately nodded with a smile.

Even Jean-Luc Bissin felt warm in his heart, with a kind of rush that was valued by the leaders.

Yang Huan looked at Pini Zahavi, smiled slightly and said, "There is one other thing, and you helped me with it."

"Master Huan, please order!" Pini Zahavi burst into a smile all over his face.

Master Huan asked him to go to work, not to mention the benefits to him, but it also proved that he valued him more and more.

I didn't see, what good things did Master Huan do before, and gave it to Raiola?

Now, at least half of it is divided by myself!

"I asked a headhunting company to help find the CEO of Monaco, and I also mentioned some requirements, but they recommended someone to me!" Yang Huan laughed a little.

"Who is it?" Pini Zahavi asked concerned.

Not only him, Jean Luc Bissin also showed concern.

"Manchester United's Chief Operating Officer, Michael Bolingbroke!"

"It's him?" Pini Zahavi is no stranger at all.

"You know him?"

"I've heard of him!" Pini Zahavi nodded. "In his forties, he graduated from the University of Reading and holds a master's degree from the London Business School. He once served as the senior vice chairman of Jim Henson, a world-renowned marionette animation production company, for three years. In [-], he joined the famous Canadian Cirque du Soleil."

Cirque du Soleil? !
Jean Luc Bissin was a little dumbfounded.

The chief operating officer of Manchester United turned out to be someone from a circus?
No way?
Yang Huan glanced at the Frenchman, feeling amused in his heart. When he saw this document for the first time, he was also full of surprises.

"This person is very capable, and he is very good at business management, especially good at match day management. During the few years he has been in charge, Manchester United's ticket sales, jerseys, match day and non-match day business operations have all improved significantly."

Pini Zahavi obviously had a pretty good impression of this person.

Yang Huan was not surprised, he paid a headhunting company to find him, how bad could it be?
Moreover, what he values ​​most is Michael? Bolingbroke's specialty.

Just kidding, there are so many rich people in Monaco, but the attendance rate of the stadium is so bad. If it doesn't manage well, wouldn't it be sitting on a golden mountain and crying poor?
Thinking of this, Yang Huan nodded and said: "That would be the best, you and Jean will represent me to meet him!"

Yang Huan's words directly stunned Jean-Luc Bissin.

"I?"

"Yes, from now on, you are the football director of our Monaco Football Club. After you and Pini went to meet Michael Bolingbroke, you returned to France and started to operate the team's transfer!"

After speaking, Yang Huan handed over a document on the desktop.

Jean-Luc Bissin and Pini Zahavi couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

When I opened the file, there was a list of players.

La Liga Levante substitute goalkeeper, Costa Rica player Keylor Navas!

Lille's substitute left back, the 19-year-old local teenager Digne!

Brazil's Corinthians substitute central defender Marquinhos!
Lyon's native French talents Benzia, Fekir and Martial!

The 19-year-old local midfielder Kondogbia of Lens in the French second league!

And the 19-year-old Côte d'Ivoire right back Olier, who Lens is on loan at Toulouse in Ligue [-]!
The 19-year-old substitute winger Thauvin of the newly promoted Bastia in the Ligue [-] this season!
The 17-year-old midfielder Rabiot of the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy!

Italian Serie B Pescara main midfielder Verratti!

Eindhoven's first team substitute, striker Depay!

The list also lists the players that Monaco will continue to stay in the team, including goalkeeper Subaszic, defenders Dennis Appiah, Mango, Kurzawa, midfielders Germain, Mendy and Esserik, forward Edgar Salley and other players.

Coupled with the introduction of central defender Mangala from Porto and a number of young players on loan from Southampton, Monaco's entire lineup can be described as a gathering of talents.

Jean-Luc Bissin just glanced at him and found that, except for the goalkeeper Subashqi, all the young players left behind by Master Huan were young players, and there were many rookies who were interested in other teams.

As for the old players, even the former international player Jiuli who once played for Barcelona, ​​​​Master Huan does not plan to stay!

But this also made Bissin realize that Master Huan is determined to attack Monaco.

As the saying goes, what can't be broken can't be built. With Monaco's situation, drastic youth reforms and clearing out the cancer and carrion in the team can not only reduce the team's finances, but also improve the team's vitality and fighting spirit.

"Master Huan, I don't know a few foreign players, but I'm afraid it's not easy to buy a few domestic players."

"Oh?" Yang Huan smiled slightly.

"Benzia, a recognized genius, is very similar to Real Madrid's Benzema, and Kondogbia is also favored by many teams. If you want to introduce it, I am afraid you will have to pay a large transfer fee!"

Yang Huan laughed straight after hearing this, which made Luc Bissing really discerning.

This French middle-aged man once controlled the scouting group of Lille, a famous youth training team in Ligue [-] for a long time. Hazard, Cabaye, Mavuba, Gervinho, Obragnak and other players were all scouted and recommended by him and his team.

Bissin's last contribution in Lille was to strongly recommend the team. Free transfers introduced Moussa Sow, who was frustrated in Rennes, and the third goalkeeper of the national team, Landro, who was questioned in Paris Saint-Germain at the time.

As a result, Moussa Sou scored 33 goals in 25 games in the first season after joining Lille, helping Lille win the Ligue 1000 championship trophy.

In addition, Landro also regrouped in Lille, became the pinnacle of the team in front of the goal, and returned to the national team again.

It can be said that it was Jean-Luc Bissing's outstanding performance in Lille that made Monaco determined to spend a lot of money to poach corners.

After the Frenchman came to Monaco, he lived up to expectations and introduced many talented rookies.

It is reported that Rennes, who is known as the best youth training in Ligue [-], has already set his sights on this talent, and his job is football director.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yang Huan finally decided to keep him and entrust him with the important task of football director.

Some of the players listed by Yang Huan were recommended by Southampton's scouting department, and some were introduced based on knowledge from previous lives. All of them are the best candidates for young rookies.

Of course, if you want to introduce such a player, you need to pay a lot of money, but how high can it be?
According to the purchasing power of the Ligue 200 league, it is a matter of [-] million euros at most.

In Yang Huan's view, this is really too cheap.

On the contrary, players like Verratti, Marquinhos, Depay, etc. will definitely be worth more, but Yang Huan has also made sufficient mental preparations. As long as the transfer fee is not too exaggerated, he must win it!

As long as this group of players comes, together with the original players of Monaco, the lineup will be quite competitive, not to mention in Ligue [-], even in Ligue [-].

More importantly, these players are young, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future, so it is worth investing in!
"Okay, that's all for this matter, you let go and operate!"

When Yang Huan said this, he stood up straight away, and he even made an appointment to go to Spain.

"Remember, money is not a problem, the most important thing is people, understand?"

Pini Zahavi and Jean-Luc Bissin hurriedly nodded in agreement, feeling very relieved.

It turned out that it was such a cool thing to have a local rich boss who was not short of money!

So much fun, isn't it?
