After so many years of playing football in Europe, coupled with the success in recent years, Yang Yang's circle of friends can be said to be spread throughout major European leagues.

From the Dutch Eredivisie to the Premier League to La Liga, from the football associations of various countries to UEFA, he has known some friends. Even Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are praised by the outside world as their mortal enemies, Yang Yang has many friends, such as Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, and even Pique.

But there are not many people who can be called good friends.

Ibrahimovic, Sneider, Macon, Maxwell, Fermuren and others are all well-known friends of Yang Yang. They all have one common characteristic, that is, they all come from Ajax and are acquainted with each other in a weak way, which brings them a friendship that is unimaginable to the outside world.

In addition, Liverpool's Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Marcelo, Robben, and Kaka of AC Milan are all friends of Yang Yang. Although Casillas and Ramos have a good relationship with Yang Yang, it is not enough to say that they have a good friend.

So, when Bardano said that he wanted to introduce Yang Yang's friends, let alone others, even Yang Yang himself was a little surprised. Who did Real Madrid like?

"Liverpool's Luis Suarez!" Valdano quickly revealed the answer.

Everyone was surprised. This name is not unfamiliar with it, but is he a good friend to Yang Yang?

After hearing the name, Yang Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laughed. This was barely considered to be.

"You have a relationship with him?" Ramos asked in surprise.

In the eyes of the Real Madrid locker room, Yang Yang is a very pure professional player, and he is also an otaku. He practices hard day and night on weekdays. He uses other people to tease him that except for some special relationship, he can almost do everything with football.

But now a friend suddenly appeared, which really surprised people.

"It should be true." Yang Yang nodded with a wry smile, "I used to go back to Ajax. He played in Ajax and happened to live on the same street as me before, so I knew each other and left a private contact information. I have been in touch over the years. He often asks me some questions, and I try to help him, and I will go there and go..."

Speaking of which, if you know Suarez, it was through Wu Lei. At that time, Yang Yang was very concerned about Wu Lei's situation in Ajax, and Suarez also kept in touch with Fermulen.

After Yang Yang explained this, everyone suddenly realized it.

Everyone knows what Ajax has in Yang Yang’s mind, and Suarez comes from Ajax, so it’s not surprising that he knows Yang Yang.

"Jorge, are you sure we want to introduce him?" Yang Yang suddenly asked curiously.

Liverpool has not had a good record in the Champions League in recent years, but has performed very well in the Premier League. The combination of Suarez and Garez Bale shines, which can be said to have made a lot of attention. But what really attracted the attention of the outside world is Garez Bale. Everyone believes that Welsh talents are Liverpool's number one star and the strongest player in Liverpool after Yang Yang.

You know, Gareth Bale came to Liverpool with the title of Yang Yang II.

"We must have learned more about it." Bardano nodded with a smile.

Many people have analyzed the success of Real Madrid in the past few years and believed that a very important point is the modernization of the club management mechanism. The technical director of Valdano was also talked about by many people, and even attracted the attention of many teams.

The position of technical director itself is not uncommon. What makes him truly valuable is that he is the hub between the head coach and the management.

Many fans probably don’t know that in European football, in a club, the head coach is the highest risk profession, which is more dangerous than players. To a certain extent, it is normal to change coaches frequently. Just like Ferguson and Wenger, it is a rare exception.

Then the question arises. There is an old saying among the Chinese: One day the emperor is the emperor and the other day the ministers.

As the name suggests, every head coach will have his own style of play and some of the types of players he likes. If he had a head coach like Mourinho last season and a head coach like Guardiola in the new season, can the team adapt? Will it take a reorganization and a major cleaning every season?

No team can withstand such troubles, but changing coaches is the norm, what should I do?

This requires a mature and stable mechanism to ensure that the risk of changing coaches is minimized, that is, to introduce head coaches with similar styles to minimize internal friction and tossing.

In addition to the head coach, the same is true for players' transfers and replacements.

To a certain extent, the technical director is responsible for taking overall charge of the overall situation. No matter what the team encounters, he must have a stable preparatory plan. For example, Ancelotti will be dismissed now, and Valdano must come up with a shortlist for management to choose, and it must also be in line with Real Madrid's current situation.

By the same token, the same is true for players. No matter who is leaving the team now, Bardano and the technical team must have a preparatory plan.

In addition to these, the technical director is also responsible for the long-term planning of the team's technical and tactics, and must also control the overall strategy of the team.

What does it mean?

Because the head coach is the most risky position, many times, the head coach has to adopt some short-sighted approaches to see results in the short term, but it may not be beneficial to the team's medium and long term. This requires the technical director to be responsible for controlling it, seeking profits and avoiding harm.

This involves transfers.

Many times, outside fans always think that when it comes to transfer, you should listen to the head coach. You can buy whoever he likes. If you buy what he doesn’t like, he doesn’t use it well or even doesn’t use it. Wouldn’t that cause trouble for yourself?

But the problem lies here. Transfers require negotiations and money. And who can guarantee that the head coach is not selfish or makes mistakes?

To give the simplest example, in the summer of 2009, Mourinho coached Inter Milan. At that time, the central defender he wanted was Carvalho of Chelsea, but Inter Milan gave him Lucio of Bayern Munich. The former was worth more than 15 million euros, while the latter was 8 million euros.

Mourinho was quite dissatisfied with this at the time, believing that the management did not cooperate with him to sign, but the subsequent results proved that Lucio's transfer was not only successful, but also had a very cost-effectiveness.

Of course, no one will know whether the Nerazzurri will succeed if Carvalho arrives at Inter Milan, but one thing is certain is that no club will hand over all the transfer and recruitment rights to the head coach, including Manchester United's Ferguson and Arsenal's Wenger.

A transfer, even a few million euros, involves a wide range of issues.

The simplest comparison, in real life, will any company pay attention to signing a business worth tens of millions of dollars?

Therefore, there is a professional person to be responsible, which is the technical director.

Of course, it is beautiful in theory, but in fact, due to various internal management issues of the club, the profession of technical director is always mixed, with success and failure.

But after Florentino reformed the management system of Real Madrid, as technical director, Bardano and his technical team played an important role in the following years, and the signings were more targeted.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have one common feature, that is, they both have players who cannot be replaced, Yang Yang and Messi.

Everyone knows very well that if Real Madrid loses Yang Yang and Barcelona loses Messi, these two teams will inevitably fall into turmoil because no one can replace their role, especially Yang Yang.

When Yang Yang was there, Robben, Di Maria, Hazard, David Silva, Modric and others obeyed him, but once Yang Yang left the team, who would become the boss?

Introduce from outside? Should we introduce Cristiano Ronaldo? Are other players obeying him?

You know, this is a team that has won three consecutive Champions League titles. What achievements does Cristiano Ronaldo have at Manchester United, which can make him the leader as soon as he joins the team?

Therefore, no matter how Real Madrid and Barcelona reorganize or sign up, they will only form the team around Yang Yang and Messi.

To a certain extent, this is Yang Yang's team against Messi.

When Yang Yang was in a bad mood after losing to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid was worried for a long time. From Florentino to the coaching staff, everyone was enlightening him, for fear that he would be unhappy.

Now, Yang Yang’s friends are also a reference for Real Madrid to sign up.

"Suarez scored good goals in the Eredivisie, but in fact he was not efficient. This led to his performance not being eye-catching when he first arrived in the Premier League, and he was even questioned for a while. However, his dribbling ability is very strong and his desire to win is very strong, which makes Liverpool continue to trust him."

"In the past two years, he has been practicing slowly. As a forward, his passing, vision, shooting ability, header, physical confrontation... These qualities are constantly improving. At the age of 26, we all think that he is about to usher in the golden period of his career, and his sense of cooperation is very strong."

Bardano explained why Real Madrid fell in love with Suarez, obviously not wanting people to misunderstand, thinking that the reason why the technical team included Suarez as the transfer candidate was because of Yang Yang.

Although this is a reference item, it is obvious that the player's own strength is the most important.

All teams like to introduce such players who are between mature and rookies. They are young and energetic, and have ideas and goals. The risks are not too great, and the cost-effectiveness is relatively stronger. Even if they are not played out, they will be polished for a year or two before selling them, Real Madrid will not lose money.

For example, Herrera, Di Maria and Azpilicueta, the value of these three players has increased a lot compared to when they joined. This is because of the players' own performance, but why doesn't there be the halo of the Real Madrid platform?

Today, in European football, famous stars, especially attackers, are often tens of millions of euros, which is so popular.

The most important thing is that there are too many tyrants. Not only has the overall purchasing power of the Premier League improved, but the French Ligue 1 has not only produced Paris Saint-Germain, but another tyrant from Monaco, as well as Turkey, Ukraine and Russia.

In short, in today's European football, good players are really sought after, and their value will naturally rise.
