Chapter 1416 Crazy Times

Is it the times that create the heroes, or does the hero create the times?
This is an old question that has been discussed in the football world for countless years. Whether it is a player, a head coach, or a team, who is the most important protagonist?
When Guardiola's Barcelona became famous, many people questioned, did Guardiola create Barcelona, ​​or did Barcelona create Guardiola?There is also the relationship between Messi and Barcelona. Who made the two?
The same goes for the relationship between Yang Yang and Real Madrid, which is a question that will never be answered.

Yang Yang himself thinks that football is a team sport, whether it is the players, the head coach or every player, coach and staff member in the team, they are all playing a role, even if it is a trivial physical therapist, he may avoid the injury of a certain player because of a professional massage, and then help the team win a key game through the performance of the players.

Let me ask, is this physical therapist important?
This is a very boring question, because football has always been the result of unity of will.

But it is also undeniable that in the history of football, there has never been a shortage of heroes. Through their personal abilities, playing or coaching, the rest of the team can only surround him. Under his leadership, the team went to victory and made great achievements.

This should be the so-called hero making the situation.

Therefore, no one knows, if there is no Guardiola, whether Barcelona will usher in the dream team, and no one knows, if there is no Yang Yang, what Real Madrid will be like today.

And Van Gaal believes that today's Ajax lacks such a hero who creates the current situation.

He has a hunch that within two years, this group of Ajax players will emerge and stand out, but if they do not meet a suitable head coach, then their final result is likely to leave the team without doing anything.

But who can tell clearly, who will be the hero that Ajax is looking forward to?

Bergkamp?
He has been an assistant coach for many years, he is also a former celebrity, and he is also a member of the technical team.

But in fact, Bergkamp is not suitable, at least he is not ready yet.

Today's Dutch football talents are withered. After Van Gaal stepped down, there are basically no world-class coaches. Among the younger coaches, Ronald Koeman's coaching journey is also stumbling, and he has not really transformed and promoted.

Regarding this point, Yang Yang also felt very embarrassed.

This should be what the ancestors said. In the world, there are often Chollima, but Bole does not often have it.

…………

…………

Returning to Madrid from the Netherlands, Yang Yang, David Silva, Marcelo, Suarez, Hazard, Ramos and Vermaelen all went to Madrid Airport with their families.

The grand occasion made the media reporters go crazy with joy. I didn’t know that they thought it was Real Madrid’s public travel.

But in fact, it's all at the player's own expense.

The Canary Islands are a great place, and David Silva's hometown is even more so.

The most important thing is that it is quiet enough to avoid the entanglement of media reporters and enjoy a peaceful Christmas holiday.

During the vacation, Yang Yang still insists on training every day. In the afternoon, he will go to the beach with his teammates to play beach football. This is also part of his training.

After a good Christmas break, the team returned to Madrid, and Pintus once again gave the team a lot.

This year is different from last year. Last year's first game was at the end of December, but this year it is at the beginning of January. Real Madrid will have more preparation time and more experience, so the coaching staff is very confident.

Real Madrid appealed against FIFA's transfer ban before, but the arbitration court's ruling came down long ago. They recognized Real Madrid's defense and believed that Real Madrid had indeed violated the rules, but it was not as serious as what FIFA said.

Coincidentally, during this year's winter break transfer, Real Madrid cannot introduce players.

Real Madrid has never been in the habit of signing in during the winter break, so they didn't take this ban seriously, and now that the team is strong, there is no need to sign in.

However, after Real Madrid's punishment was reduced, the Catalan media was upset, because Barcelona was banned for two transfer periods at the beginning. Why is Real Madrid's punishment only half of Barcelona's for the same crime?
There are even media conspiracy theories that Real Madrid has done the work of FIFA, but they don't know that the mitigation of punishment is only because Real Madrid's defense strategy has worked.

……

The transfer during the winter break did not become bleak due to the loss of Real Madrid, the big benefactor. On the contrary, because of the strong intervention of the Chinese Super League team, the transfer during the winter break of the entire European football became extremely lively.

Chelsea's Brazilian midfielder Oscar transferred to Shanghai Shanggang for a transfer fee of 6000 million euros. This transfer surprised the entire European football world, not only because of the transfer fee, but also because Oscar switched to the Chinese Super League in his prime.

In the Chinese Super League, the Beijing team's international Zhang Chengdong transferred to Hebei for 2000 million euros, which is also surprising, because Schneiderlin, who has proved his strength in the Premier League, transferred from Manchester United to Everton for almost the same price.

Belgian genius midfielder Witsel transferred from Zenit St. Petersburg to Tianjin for 2000 million euros.

Both Schneiderlin and Witsel are well-known players in Europe, but their transfer fee is close to that of Zhang Chengdong.

Also full of vigor is Ligue [-] Paris.

Due to the unsatisfactory performance in the Ligue 4000, Paris added additional investment during the winter break, poaching German winger Draxler from Wolfsburg at a high price of 3000 million euros, and then signed 20-year-old Portuguese winger Gonzalo Guedes from Benfica for [-] million euros.

If it is said that the signing of Draxler can be understood, then the signing of Guedes is surprising, especially since the value is as high as 3000 million euros, which is indeed a sky-high price for a 20-year-old Portuguese Super League player.

Coincidentally, Manchester City also introduced 19-year-old striker Gabriel Jesus from Palmeiras, Brazil, worth as much as 3000 to [-] million euros, becoming the second most important transfer in the winter break transfer market after Oscar and Draxler.

But what is really surprising is the transfer of two teenagers, Jesus and Guedes.

Neither of them has proven themselves in the four major leagues, one is 19 years old and the other is 20 years old, but it is quite crazy that these two players are worth more than 3000 million euros.

……

Yang Yang heard these two news in Zidane's office in Valdebebas. His first reaction was madness, and then a sentence that Florentino once said appeared in his mind.

"The era of skyrocketing transfer fees is coming!"

The more he got in touch with, the more Yang Yang admired Florentino's wisdom.

For this era, Real Madrid started planning a few years ago, and Florentino seems to always be able to predict the future, and he can always predict the development trend of the transfer market.

"Paris Saint-Germain is still poaching corners everywhere. First they threatened to poach Messi, then Neymar, and now I heard that they want to poach Di Maria, and L'Equipe said that their number one target is you." Zidane looked at Yang Yang with a smile.

Yang Yang only has one and a half years left in his contract with Real Madrid, and if he is poached, it is not impossible.

Of course, the cost of poaching Yang Yang may create another sky-high price.

"Such a major transfer would be difficult to complete during the winter break." Yang Yang shook his head. He is also the manager of the club and has his own judgment and analysis on the transfer market. "But if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly completely detonate the transfer market, and it will be very crazy."

"Yeah." Zidane nodded, Meishan frowned, "Think about it, no matter who you are poaching, whether it is Messi, Neymar, or the top star of other teams, after getting a large transfer fee, it is bound to reinvest in the transfer market, and there may even be panic signings, which is very terrible."

After Yang Yang heard this, he suddenly smiled, "Are you still thinking about your Pogba?"

"Of course, I want to bring him to Real Madrid." Zidane is full of expectations.

Yang Yang feels that the relationship between Zidane and Pogba is not just admiration. It is probably because they are both French and they have a good relationship in private. However, it is really difficult for Real Madrid to have a position for Pogba.

No, I was still studying the starting lineup for the Copa del Rey against Sevilla just now. Yang Yang and others are all substitutes, but Real Madrid's midfield can still line up a midfield combination like Casemiro, De Bruyne and Isco, which shows how fierce the competition in Real Madrid's midfield is.

"Then wait another two years." Yang Yang said with a smile.

Two years later, a group of veterans such as David Silva and Modric are almost there.

"Two years?" Zidane shook his head and sighed, "I see that the transfer market is turbulent. After two years, the value of players will rise to an outrageous level. Do you think players like Pogba are still so easy to buy?"

For European football, two years is too long, and there can be too many changes in the middle.

Although there are clauses in Pogba's contract with Manchester United, it couldn't be simpler, just re-sign a contract with a salary increase.

It just so happens that Pogba is performing well at Manchester United now, and it is reasonable to renew his contract.

Therefore, what Zidane is really worried about is that once the transfer market is convulsed, he and Real Madrid are likely to pass by Pogba forever. This is somewhat a pity for Zidane.

Well, people are rational animals.

Forcibly introducing Pogba will definitely offend the locker room, and Zidane will not do it.

Therefore, when he saw Bo Yun's treachery in the transfer market, he was more helpless.

Yang Yang is gearing up a bit, because his Ajax has gathered a group of outstanding young talents, and the skyrocketing transfer value is good for them.

Of course, the premise is that he can swallow Ajax completely, and at the same time Peter Boss can lead this team to rise.

But how can this be so easy?
