Chapter 826

"Master Huan!"

As soon as Sun Yue opened the door, he saw Hamburg's CEO Thomas Reck and technical director Beiersdorf standing outside the door. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Yang Huan politely.

"It's you guys, come, come and sit, come and sit!"

Yang Huan stood up with a smile and waved towards them.

The two walked to the sofa in the living room, found a seat opposite Young Master Huan and sat down.

Yang Huan was a little surprised when he saw Thomas Lake and Beiersdorf, but soon he knew it.

In the meeting just now, apart from Ajax and Benfica, the core executives of several teams under Yang Huan's command were present.

But the most embarrassing status is Hamburg.

Seeing that the other teams were having a great time cutting the cake, but Hamburg got nothing, naturally they were anxious.

But it can't be blamed on anyone, after all, it's not Yang Huan who is in charge of Hamburg now.

"How is it, Thomas? Are you still used to doing it in Hamburg?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

The movements of his hands are not idle, and he is making tea for them.

"Well, it's okay, but I don't have any experience in this area before, so it will be slower to get started."

"Normal, but it doesn't matter, take your time, I believe you can do well!" Yang Huan affirmed with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Huan, I will do my best!" Thomas Lake promised.

While talking, Yang Huan had already delivered two cups of hot fragrant tea to them, and even Sun Yue and Zhao Yuanfang had changed their teas again.

After finishing all this work, Yang Huan continued: "Is the situation in Hamburg good now?"

"Well, it's pretty good!" Thomas Lake replied, "Sell Charhanoglu and get back 500 million pounds, plus Adler, Westerman, van der Vaart and other players, we have recovered a total of nearly 4000 million euros in transfer fees in the transfer market."

"However, in terms of signings, we have not invested much. Except for the introduction of Osterjolek from Augsburg, which cost 250 million euros, the other players are basically on loan, and the cost is not large."

From the goalkeeper Oblak, to Alderweireld, Jedwai, Emre Can on the defensive line, and the recently introduced Douglas Santos, or Gaudino, Hoibel, Weigel, Kimmich, Klassey and other players in the midfield, all of them were loaned from Yang Huan.

The same goes for Abubakar, Douglas Costa, Koeman and Januzaj up front.

Even in order to strengthen the striker of the Hamburg team, Yang Huan specially introduced the talented Nigerian striker Sussex from the Pozzo family of Udinese, and the young player Sane introduced from Schalke 04, all went to Hamburg on loan.

Looking at the Hamburg team, how many players do you have?
Goalkeeper Drobney, defenders Dick Maier, Osterjolek, Jansen, and youth center back Tah.

In the midfield, there is only one Baddeley left, and almost all the strikers are gone.

Even the Chinese player Lin Zhijian was sold away.

Yang Huan personally nodded and agreed to this, because he felt that since his own strength is not enough, why is there any need to stay?

Besides, Lin Zhijian said that he is Chinese, but he is of German nationality and can't even speak Chinese. What's the use?

Among the few players, Tah was strongly requested by Southampton scouts to stay. The Hamburg team placed high hopes on this young player, gave him a key cultivation treatment, and renewed a long-term contract.

As for Badley, the 25-year-old Croatian international once held the title of Modric's successor. After joining the Hamburg team, he performed quite well. He is not the main player in the national team, but both scouts and Beiersdorf have praised him.

It must be mentioned here that in the first season when Baddeley joined the team, Van der Vaart was in good form, and both offensive and defensive ends revolved around Van der Vaart. The Croatian midfielder was only an assistant and his performance was not ideal.

But in the second season, that is, this past season, Van der Vaart's state declined rapidly, and the team's midfield as a whole couldn't keep up, but Baddeley's performance surprised everyone.

If you pay attention to the Bundesliga data last season, it is not difficult to find that he is on the list of steals, interceptions, dribbles per game and success rate of dribbles, and he is basically in the top ten.

In other words, he is very comprehensive, and he can be called another thick thigh in the Hamburg midfielder besides Charhanoglu.

If Modric is the rich version, then Baddeley is the mid-upstream version.

However, the Croatian midfielder had only one year left on his contract in the Hamburg team, and he had also received offers from other European teams, especially Fiorentina in Italy. Therefore, Beiersdorf personally acted and finally persuaded Badley to stay in the team.

Hamburg's continuous big moves have also caused a lot of repercussions in German football.

Combined with the fact that Hamburg sold part of its shares before, it also caused great worries among Hamburg fans and German fans.

After all, with such a lineup, can they avoid relegation in this year's Bundesliga?
This is still an unknown!
What is completely unexpected is that Tuchel's team has played four warm-up matches so far and won all four games.

But if it is just a complete victory, then there is nothing to be surprised about. What is even more terrifying is the team's amazing performance and Tuchel's clear team building ideas that have been shown from the beginning.

The first warm-up match was against the Bundesliga team Bochum.

Although this team ranked No.15 in the Bundesliga last season, they thought it was weak. As everyone knows, Bochum's defense ranks among the top in the Bundesliga. It was only dragged down by their poor offense that they almost relegated.

On the other hand, the Hamburg team was almost relegated from the Bundesliga. The team has just undergone a reorganization, so many people are not optimistic about this warm-up match.

Unexpectedly, Tuchel's team surprised people.

Goalkeeper Oblak, the defense line from left to right is Osterjolek, Emre Can, Alderweireld and Dick Maier. Except for Dick Maier who was the main force last season, the others are all newcomers.

In the midfield, the famous teenager Weigel served as the back-up organizer, forming a midfield with Baddeley and Klassey.

In the frontcourt, Abu Bakar acts as the arrow, and Douglas Costa and Koeman are on the left and right.

Among the eleven starting players, only two were the main players of last season, and all the others were rookies.

But Tuchel used a hearty victory to tell everyone that the reorganized team does not necessarily have to be turbulent!

In just 5 minutes of the opening, Abubakar was at the front of the small penalty area, received a cross from the right from Koeman, and scored with a header.

After that, Douglas Costa broke through the cross after getting the ball from the left, and Abu Bakr again made a powerful volley near the penalty spot, which once again pierced the Bochum goal.

After scoring two goals in a row, the Hamburg team was on the offensive. Douglas Costa and Abubakar scored successively. The latter scored a hat-trick to help Hamburg lead [-]-[-].

After the intermission, Tuchel replaced ten players except for the teenager Weigel.

As a result, Sussex and Sane scored successively to help the team beat Bochum [-]-[-].

This battle shocked everyone in Hamburg, and also excited the fans.

Especially in this game, the performance of the teenager Weigel sitting in the midfielder.

The ball is fast, the long pass is accurate, the creativity is full, and the ball is not afraid of pressing at the feet.

All kinds of advantages allowed Weigel to fully prove his strength in this game.

Not only that, in the first half, the trident composed of Abubakar, Douglas Costa and Koeman, the amazing attack power in the frontcourt, and the outstanding personal ability are impressive.

Abu Bakar's hat-trick, Douglas Costa and Koeman's uninhabited performance on the left and right flanks all made the Hamburg fans who watched the game at home very addicted and regained their former passion.

As for the midfielder, the teenager Weigel had a pass success rate of 90.00% and his amazing calmness. Coupled with Baddeley's organization, escape and advancement, Klassey galloped all over the field without hesitating physical strength, tenaciously defending, but there was no lack of delicate foot skills.

The three midfielders of the Hamburg team echoed each other, forming a joint force and firmly controlling the situation on the court.

Even in the second half, after replacing Thorgan Hazard and Hoiber, Hamburg's midfield strength still stabilized more than Bochum, and the audience firmly controlled the dominant advantage.

But this is just the beginning.

After breaking Bochum, Hamburg once again defeated Real Betis in La Liga at home with a score of [-] to [-].

Weigel still played the whole game, and Abubakar scored twice, showing his ability to score goals.

The other goal came from the teenager Sane who came off the bench.

Afterwards, they beat Reid [-]-[-] and Lucerne, Switzerland [-]-[-]. The Hamburg team won [-] out of [-] games.

Especially Abu Bakar, who scored a total of seven goals in four warm-up matches, such a frenzy of goals even aroused strong attention from the German media.

Because, as early as last season in the Eredivisie League, Abu Bakar has quickly become popular.

In addition, players such as Oblak, Alderweireld, Emre Can, Weigel, Klassey, Douglas Costa and Koeman also fully proved their strength in the warm-up match.

Coach Tuchel even captured the hearts of Hamburg fans in one fell swoop and successfully gained a foothold in Hamburg.

When Yang Huan heard Beiersdorf and Thomas Lake talk about the pre-season warm-up match of the Hamburg team, he was also in a good mood and couldn't help laughing.

This time, in order to win Hamburg, he also tried his best.

Every player on loan to Hamburg is of outstanding strength.

Coupled with Tuchel's ability, if Hamburg does not improve, then Yang Huan will really be depressed to death.

However, they did not disappoint after all!
"When Tuchel was interviewed by the media many times, he has repeatedly expressed his satisfaction with the club's transfer operation. He believes that the team is full of competitiveness in the new season. He has absolute confidence in relegation."

Thomas Lake said with a smile.

"With Tuchel's words and the media's help, the fans are very satisfied with the new management team. I believe that as long as the team's performance in the new season is good, there should be no major problems."

Yang Huan frowned.

In other words, Thomas Lake, Beiersdorf and others have finally temporarily stabilized the situation in Hamburg!

It's not in vain that Yang Huan spent so much thought and energy on the burger!
But just when Yang Huan wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Beiersdorf brought a piece of bad news.

"Master Huan, the team has won consecutive victories. Everything is going well. The morale of the team is high, and the players are getting attention. Just yesterday, Kruse came to me and brought some opinions from the board of directors."

"An opinion?" Yang Huan frowned, "Khove and the others, what advice can I have?"

"They hope to buy out the ownership of Weigel and other players!"

As soon as Beiersdorf said this, Yang Huan frowned deeply.

This is really unsatisfactory!
