Chapter 1310 The Crucial Devil's Schedule

"The plan is very tempting, but to what extent it can be implemented is hard to say."

This is Yang Yang's evaluation of this meeting after meeting with the Ajax management and sending them out of the hotel. Mino Raiola and Guido Albes, who had already been waiting in the hotel, came to visit him in his room.

He has never been a person who trusts others easily, so his attitude is to wait and see.

Starting from his attitude, he realized more clearly that to control the change of Ajax as much as possible within the scope of his influence, this requires him to have enough support from the supervisory board and management.

"Tomorrow I will stay in the Netherlands for an extra day. I hope to meet Van der Sar, Overmars, Menno Heron and others in private." Yang Yang pondered for a while, and felt that he still needed to communicate with Van der Sar and others.

Not only because Van der Sar will be the team's general manager a year later, but also because he is a member of the technical core group.

As a player from Ajax, Yang Yang is very aware of the importance of the technical team to Ajax.

Back then, when Van Gaal was in charge of Ajax and served as the technical director, he wanted to initiate a round of reforms, but after he stepped down, the reforms were in vain, and Ajax finally became what it is now.

But there is one thing Van der Sar said is right. Excellent youth training is the DNA of Ajax, which has been integrated into the blood of this team. The technical team has a huge influence on Ajax's youth training. Moreover, it is held by famous club stars such as Van der Sar, Overmars and Bergkamp, ​​and has an immeasurable influence among fans.

The current shares of Ajax are held by the member organizations behind the Supervisory Committee. They own 70.00% of the shares. But in fact, the senior members of the Supervisory Committee have not paid a penny.

Yang Yang thought about it himself. If he wants to prevent his money from being wasted, he must occupy a seat in the supervisory committee and get corresponding support from the club management. The financial department is only a part, so the importance goes without saying. The support of the technical department and the business department is also crucial.

Yang Yang's advantage is that Ajax's management has never been particularly cold to the big men of the supervisory committee. It has been like this since Yang Yang played football. Simply put, this is an amateur leading an expert.

Otherwise, how to explain that the Ajax management was so arrogant that they shouted the slogan of regaining the Champions League in five years?
And how did Cruyff rely on a few columns and his influence in Ajax to directly overthrow these old masters and reorganize the club's management?
In contrast, although Yang Yang is an outsider, he can be regarded as one of his own. He has his own selfishness, but the foothold of both parties is to hope that Ajax can be revived, because only a revived Ajax can meet Yang Yang's long-term plan.

Wei Zheng thought for a while, and understood what Yang Yang meant, "Okay, I'll call and make arrangements later."

Yang Yang turned his head to look at Raiola and Guido Albes.

The two agents were analyzing the plans made by Van der Sar and the technical team, and they both saw the same at this time.

"How?" Yang Yang asked.

Raiola nodded, "It's very feasible, but it's not easy. The value of young European players has been rising steadily in recent years, especially after this summer. Manchester United's panic-like acquisition will definitely drive panic in the entire European transfer market. At that time, the value of young players will skyrocket."

What Raiola means is that Ajax did not catch up with the good times.

Manchester United acquired Martial from Monaco with a total value of 8000 million euros. This summer has not seen any problems, but as time goes by, the entire transfer market is bound to trigger a chain reaction.

Yang Yang had heard from Florentino a few years ago that the management of Real Madrid was very prescient in this situation. The influx of local tyrants and hot money made outstanding stars a scarce resource. The relationship between supply and demand was out of balance, and the value and salary of players naturally skyrocketed.

The other thing that many people have not noticed is the promotion of globalization. Whether it is the major traditional giants in Europe or the [-] teams in the Premier League, the income has increased rapidly, and the purchasing power has also soared. At this time, there is a shortage of star resources.

Famous stars have become priceless, and the result passed down is that many teams have begun to shift their targets to younger players with potential. Manchester United's acquisition of Martial at a sky-high price is the result of this situation.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, buying young players at sky-high prices will become more and more common, and even become the norm.

This is very bad for Ajax, because for a team like Ajax, the best way is undoubtedly to introduce some players like Martial to train them, and then resell them to the top league or giants at a high price.

But if even players like Martial landed in the giants early, then Ajax can only search further.

The rules of the European football game have always been that the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat dried shrimps, but now even the big fish still eat dried shrimps, and the small fish can only eat seaweed.

"Actually, the most important thing is to stabilize the results of the Champions League. With the platform of the Champions League, whether it is training players or financial income, it will be quite beneficial, and it will be more attractive to young players." Wei Zheng said from the side.

It can be said that the Champions League is indispensable for a team like Ajax.

"Dutch football talent has also withered in the past few years, and the grand occasion at the beginning of the century has not reappeared. According to Van der Sar's idea, after receiving capital injection, it is necessary to start searching for youth training talents from teams in surrounding areas, such as Alkmaar, Utrecht and other teams. There are also some young players who came from Ajax's youth training but drifted away."

Guido Albes frowned, analyzing the current countermeasures that Ajax can make.

"What's more, I think Belgian and French football talents are beginning to emerge in the past few years, and they are blooming everywhere. I think Ajax can properly consider infiltrating into Belgium and France. Ligue [-] is definitely more difficult, but Ligue [-] also has many outstanding talents. Ajax will be relatively more attractive."

The characteristic of youth training lies in its high unpredictability. Some players may feel ordinary at this moment, but after a few years in the low-level leagues, they suddenly become enlightened.

For example, Ribery, or David Silva, they have all been eliminated by the youth training of big teams, but in the end they all succeeded in counterattack.

Of course, the hottest one now should be Pogba, which is the grievance of Manchester United fans.

Many Red Devils fans think that if they knew that Pogba was so strong, they should have done it in the first place.

As everyone knows, if he hadn't left Manchester United that year, then Pogba would not be the current Pogba.

Yang Yang has not fully negotiated with Ajax yet, so there is no need for him to worry about it for the time being, but whether it is Mino Raiola or Guido Albes, they have made it clear that they will give Yang Yang support and help.

Raiola is a big shot in European football, and he is also very well-connected in Dutch football. Now his business is spread all over the mainstream European leagues, and he also has a large group of people under his hands. The talent channel is very wide. Guido Albes is slightly inferior, but he is also a big broker in the Netherlands, and he is also working hard in France, Belgium, and South America.

The cooperation between Mendes and Porto and other Portuguese Super League teams, as well as Ligue [-] Monaco, has shown results. If Yang Yang really completes the capital injection into Ajax and successfully enters the decision-making level, Raiola and Guido Albes must also hope to get a share of it, such as bringing their own players to Ajax.

…………

…………

Yang Yang stayed in Amsterdam for an extra day, met privately with Van der Sar, Bergkamp, ​​Overmars and Menno Heron, and had a long talk with each other.

Van der Sar and others also welcome Yang Yang's timely charcoal injection, and they also understand Yang Yang's hope to use Ajax's youth training to develop China's youth training, but these are long-term things.

Under the current situation, their goals are the same, so Yang Yang has their approval and even support.

After two days in the Netherlands, Yang Yang returned to Madrid.

Since Yang Yang only played one game in the Middle East on behalf of the Chinese team, the time was faster than other international players, so when he returned to Madrid, other Real Madrid players had not yet returned to the team.

As soon as Yang Yangfu returned to Madrid, he was immediately pulled into the coach's office by Zidane to study the team's next plan.

Next, Real Madrid will also start a three-line battle. The league opponents are Levante at home, Celta Vigo away, Las Palmas at home, and Sevilla away.

In the four games, two home games are not difficult, the key is that the two away games are not easy to play. Celta Vigo and Sevilla just defeated Barcelona [-]-[-] and [-]-[-] at home not long ago, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for Real Madrid.

But the real big trouble is that in the middle of these four games, Real Madrid still needs to play three cup games, two of which are the Champions League group stage, home and away against Paris Saint-Germain, which are also two key battles for the top spot in the group, and the other cup is the Copa del Rey.

Since Real Madrid will participate in the Club World Cup in December, the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey was adjusted to the end of October, while other teams were in early December.

After playing seven games in a short period of time, Real Madrid has not been able to rest and will usher in another two-week national team match day, followed by a match against Barcelona at the Bernabéu Stadium on November 21.

It can be said that the next devil's schedule is very critical.

After defeating Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid's group stage will be very easy. At least until the knockout round of the top [-] in February next year, there is no need to worry too much, and the battle against Barcelona will be related to the final result of the league.

The most imminent among them is undoubtedly Paris Saint-Germain.
