After the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid ushered in a period of loose adjustment.

In the 37th round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla four-one at home.

Yang Yang scored twice and was elected as the best player in the game. Azpilicueta and David Silva each scored one goal.

Due to the last home court of the season, the La Liga champion award ceremony will be held after the game.

As the team's chief and deputy captains, Ramos and Marcelo went on stage to receive the La Liga championship trophy on behalf of Real Madrid players.

The entire Bernabeu stadium was also full of joy, with more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans cheering for the league championship, but the team did not organize other celebrations because there are two more important cup championships next.

The opponent in the Copa del Rey final is Barcelona, ​​while the opponent in the Champions League final is Juventus. Both finals are more concerned by Real Madrid than the La Liga champion that has already settled.

There is a week's gap between the 37th and 38th rounds of La Liga, so Real Madrid gave the team a day off after the restorative training the next morning of the game so that everyone can rest well.

Holidays are definitely a luxury for Real Madrid players. Because of multi-line combat, Real Madrid has almost started a week of double games for a row since the beginning of the season. Except for the holidays around Christmas, the rest of the time is very tense.

It was a rare holiday. After the players finished their morning training, they didn't even eat lunch and all scattered.

Only Zidane and the coaching staff are still staying in Valdebebas, preparing for the next two focus finals.

…………

"It seems you're in trouble."

When Zidane returned to his office, he saw Yang Yang sitting on the sofa, frowning and thinking about things, and he couldn't help but become funny.

The two had a close relationship, so he naturally knew what Yang Yang was upset.

"I was upset when I was not good at the beginning, but now I am upset when I have good at the results."

Zidane sat down opposite him with a smile, "So, I said, you caused yourself a big trouble, and I don't understand, how could you want to take over Ajax?"

"We Chinese have a saying that if you are prosperous, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be safe. If you come from France, you will naturally not understand what we Chinese think, because you don't need to worry about it at all."

Zidane understands Yang Yang's meaning.

France is one of the best youth training countries in the world. Even if there are ups and downs in the middle, it can always revive quickly.

Just like in the New Century, after experiencing the golden generation led by Zidane, Henry and others, French football has been significantly downturned for many years. But in recent years, young French football rookies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, including Varane, Mbappe, Dembele and other famous European players who have long become famous.

But China is different. The foundation of youth training is too poor and bad. Although it has reached the World Cup final before, everyone thinks that once Yang Yang retires, will Chinese football continue to dominate the Asian football world?

Not to mention going to the World Cup stage to fight.

As Yang Yang's best friend, Zidane also knows that Yang Yang attaches more importance to Ajax's youth training in acquiring Ajax, hoping to use Ajax's youth training to help China develop youth training, but this will definitely bring more pressure and burden to himself.

"Some people say that people live in the world and are always solving problems." Zidane comforted with a smile.

Yang Yang nodded, "The biggest trouble now is that someone is digging my corner."

"Oh?" Zidane became interested, "Who is so bold?"

"Dortmond."

"This is a problem." Zidane also realized the seriousness of the problem.

After Dortmund left Klopp, Tuchel did not work for too long. Now the coaching position is empty. It is not surprising that Pete Boss, who led Ajax to the UEFA Cup final.

Then Pete Boss has no idea of ​​switching to Dortmund?

One is a Bundesliga giant and the other is a fallen giant in Eredivisie. It will not be difficult to choose if any head coach is replaced.

"To be honest, I don't think Pete Boss is so powerful that he can dig it. The key is that Dortmund is also in the restructuring stage. If Pete Boss turns to Dortmund and turns back to dig our players, it will be troublesome."

The head coach digs out the corner of his old boss after changing jobs. This is nothing new, on the contrary, it is normal.

When Benitez transferred to Real Madrid from Liverpool, in addition to Yang Yang, Xavi Alonso and Aveloa, he also dug up Mascherano and directly left Liverpool's midfielder.

This can be said to be very normal, because it is better to use mature products than to use raw materials. The head coach also needs some players he is familiar with to help him stabilize the team as soon as possible, achieve better results, and consolidate his coach position.

"It's really trouble, but don't worry too much. Dortmund is famous for being stingy. They don't have much money, and all the stars who can sell at high prices are sold almost the same. Don't worry too much." Zidane comforted.

From Gotze to Lewandowski, and then to Hummels, Dortmund's stars are exclusively for Bayern Munich. Now the one who can really sell high prices in the team is Aubameyang, and the problem is that there are not many buyers.

Young player Dembele is very famous. Dortmund had previously asked for a price of over 100 million in the media, but who bought it?

Unless the transfer market is crazy, who will pay more than 100 million yuan in transfer fees for Dembele?

How outstanding Mbappe's performance in the Champions League are, Real Madrid's psychological price is only about 100 million euros. Dembele is not as good as Mbappe, at least 20 to 30 million euros.

Of course, even so, Yang Yang and Zidane's views are still ridiculously high.

Dortmund cannot sell it for money, so naturally it cannot invest, so Ajax doesn't need to worry too much.

But the problem now is that there are a lot of teams targeting Ajax.

"I still remember that Simon Cooper's book [Football Economics] says that transfers are an inefficient behavior because most buyers cannot get corresponding returns from their investments, but the current European football transfer market is still so fanatic. Sometimes I doubt if it's crazy?"

In that book, Simon Cooper gave the example of Torres and Michu, believing that if the transfer market is effective, Torres should be twenty-five times more effective than Michu, but in fact there is no such thing as it is.

It is precisely because of the inefficiency of the transfer market that many teams are very cautious in the transfer market strategy, and some even do not participate in this market. The most typical representative of the former is Real Madrid. Florentino has been very careful in transfer operations in recent years, and has become more and more careful, and he has almost no longer made big moves.

As for withdrawing from the transfer market, it is not about withdrawing completely. It is just a kind of rationality, rather than buying than blindness. Typically, Ferguson coached Manchester United in the later stage. Everyone knows the gap between the midfielder and defense, but Manchester United refuses to buy people in these positions, especially after the introduction of Irving Hargreaves.

Ferguson's explanation for this is that the players are too valuable, and he thinks it is not suitable and the risk is too great, so he doesn't buy it.

Arsenal, under Wenger's coaching, also had the same idea as Ferguson.

Whether it is Ferguson or Wenger, although he does not blindly invest in the transfer market, or even simply does not invest, he has invested a lot in cultivating young players, strengthening the training of young players in the team and supporting his own youth training.

Of course, after Ferguson retired, in order to maintain competitiveness, Manchester United basically gave up the transfer strategy during the Ferguson era and began to increase efforts to introduce strong aids. Arsenal has been adhering to Wenger's transfer strategy for a long time, and its competitiveness in European football has deteriorated. This season, he was slaughtered by Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals and 10-2 in the knockout round of 16.

"In the long run, Ajax is definitely a high-quality resource. Their youth training ability is the best in the world, especially after you invest, the second team has won the runner-up in the Dutch Eredivisie this season. The youth training strength can be seen. If it can be maintained for a long time, internal blood supply, self-sufficiency, and then introduce suitable players as appropriate, I believe there is no problem. This is a path of sustainable development."

Zidane admires Yang Yang's vision and courage. He started at the downturn in Ajax. Now Ajax is still the Europa League final team, and the players' value has increased a lot compared to the beginning.

"There are many excellent teams in youth training. Real Madrid and Barcelona are not inferior to Ajax in youth training. But the problem is that they are self-positioning in European football is the top giants, and the players have higher requirements and cannot give youth training players enough opportunities to exercise. Therefore, youth training and the first team are in a gap, but Ajax does the best in this regard."

Yang Yang nodded constantly. Zidane's words were Yang Yang's views and plans for Ajax.

"The trouble now is short-term. Selling people is only temporary. Relying on selling people will eventually drag Ajax into the quagmire, so we need to return to the Champions League as soon as possible. The best chance was in next season, but now..." Yang Yang said at the end, countless depressions turned into a long sigh.

Zidane could understand that Yang Yang is a very planned person. Since he took over Ajax, he has had a complete set of plans and completed it very smoothly. But now, the team's performance has suddenly improved, reaching the Europa League final, and Pete Boss may change jobs, which has disrupted his plan for Ajax.

More importantly, the agreement he had with the Supervisory Council.

This is an acquisition worth over 100 million euros. With the current development situation of Ajax, if it is successful, Yang Yang will be digging a gold mine, which will have a huge impact on his long-term plan to support China's youth training in the future. How could he not be upset?

"There is no way, professional football is like this. If you can't beat you, you will be deprived of you. All the teams of the rich like to do something." Zidane laughed and said, all the rich players, including Real Madrid, play this way.

Yang Yang was also quite helpless. He didn't feel it before he dug it up to him. Now that he's digging it up, he feels it hurts.

In addition to players being poached, it is also a problem for the head coach to be poached.

With Ajax's current situation and status, who can replace Pete Boss?

Do you have to go that step?
