1615 Yang Yang's signing plan
In Florentino's plan, he wanted to be the bad guy by himself, sell several veterans in the team, and then Yang Yang came out to introduce younger players and rebuild a young and energetic team.
The advantage of this is that the team can be reorganized as soon as possible, and Yang Yang can also avoid conflicts and conflicts with his old friends who fought side by side. Real Madrid hopes to quickly build a team that can win the Champions League championship within two years.
After listening to Florentino's advice, Yang Yang was still very grateful for the care of the Real Madrid chairman, but he did not agree with this approach because he did not intend to expel the veterans in the team.
"I hope everyone else can stay except for the players whose contract expires this season." Yang Yang said with great certainty.
Florentino didn't understand very well, "The veterans in the team are not young, but they can't stand tactical styles like Ajax."
Faced with a kind reminder, Yang Yang smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's right, but I still feel that I should stay."
"I don't understand." Florentino said he was puzzled.
"Real Madrid is completely different from other teams. We have our own club culture. We are like a palace. Zidane said that coaching here for a year can be worth ten years for coaching for other teams because it is too complicated here."
Florentino nodded, it was true, so coaches like Lopetegui and Solari couldn't gain a foothold.
"Veterans have the advantages of veterans, and young players have the disadvantages of young players. They cannot be generalized. The key question is how to inspire players' fighting spirit and let them focus on the game, rather than relying on age to distinguish players."
Florentino was speechless. He originally wanted to help Yang Yang build a young team, like Ajax, with a dynamic and passionate team, but Yang Yang didn't seem to plan to do so.
"Do you have the confidence to reactivate them?" asked Manuel Redondo with a smile.
This is what Real Madrid chairman wants to ask, but is embarrassed to ask.
"Yes." Yang Yang replied with great certainty, "I hope they can feel at ease. More importantly, I hope they leave Real Madrid with pride and success, rather than leaving like this summer, as desolate and like a stray dog. I believe that every Real Madrid player has such pride."
Whether it is Modric or Ramos, these veterans will leave sooner or later. If they don’t leave this summer, they will leave next year and the next year. The key is what kind of identity and attitude they leave.
What Yang Yang wanted to do was to give them dignity and let them leave with their heads held high, rather than being sold or expelled!
"I always believe that a team must have its own locker room culture. We cannot bind players by contracts alone. We need to give them confidence, reassurance, and motivation. These are not done by one or two words, but by actual actions."
"I want to build a united and positive Real Madrid, just like the years I have played for Real Madrid, even better and stronger than in the past years."
Florentino, Manuel Redondo and Butragno looked at each other for a while, they were all moved by Yang Yang.
If it is true that as Yang Yang said, it can be successful on the football field and achieve a good relationship between the club and the players, then it is the best of both worlds, what else can I say?
"What do you think?" Florentino asked.
"First of all, find a good next home for Navas." Yang Yang said.
"Navas?" Florentino was a little surprised.
"Yes." Yang Yang said with certainty, "I know he performed well, but he is already thirty-two years old. His characteristics are very similar to Casillas. He is not tall, but he is very flexible and has strong explosive power. However, as he gets older, the disadvantages will become more and more obvious, just like Casillas back then."
"I don't deny that he has made great contributions to Real Madrid, but between the 32-year-old Navas and the 27-year-old Courtois, I can only choose Courtois. However, from the past season, Navas' existence has affected Courtois, and he has made the Belgian goalkeeper feel uneasy, so I can only say sorry to Navas."
Both goalkeepers have super strength and have made great contributions to Real Madrid, but if they can only choose one of them, the young Courtois is undoubtedly the most suitable one.
"I understand what you mean, we will find a suitable club for Navas," promised Butragno.
"Who else has an expiration of the contract this summer?" Yang Yang asked.
"In the past few years, we have paid great attention to the contract years of players. This summer, only the contract between Harvey Martinez and Fermuren has reached the age. We originally considered renewing the contract with Harvey Martinez, but he was not very willing."
After hearing this, Yang Yang was silent for a moment, and sighed and said, "Let them transfer freely!"
Harvey Martinez is not old and is less than 31 years old, but in the past season, his condition has been greatly reduced and injuries have begun to increase, which has led to his position on the backline being replaced by Varane.
Because of this, Xavi Martinez wants to leave the fiercely competitive Real Madrid. The most likely place to go is to return to his old club Athletic Bilbao, where the environment will be more relaxed.
"Teo Hernandez, Vallejo, Reguilon, Audriosola and Sebaslos are all loaned!" Yang Yang's attitude is very firm. Although these local Spanish players have great potential, they still cannot meet Yang Yang's requirements in terms of strength. "Pay attention to Sebaslos and find a suitable team to exercise. I will tell him personally, I will give him a season, and as long as he can play, I will let him come back."
Florentino suddenly realized that Yang Yang had his own timetable. He probably only gave David Silva, Modric, and even Tony Cross and others a year to help them and let them escape.
Of course, these veterans are old and are even on the purge list of Real Madrid's reorganization. It is not uncommon to leave the team, but it is unexpected to stay.
"Then what are your signing plans?" Florentino asked with concern.
"A substitute goalkeeper, central defender, left back, midfielder and center forward."
"Do you want anyone?" asked Manuel Redondo jokingly.
"Van Dijk probably won't buy it." Yang Yang smiled bitterly. He really liked this central defender.
As an opponent twice, Yang Yang has to say that Van Dijk is indeed the best central defender in European football in the past season, which made him salivate. But unfortunately, how could Liverpool easily sell Van Dijk by introducing Van Dijk for huge sums of money?
Unless Real Madrid is willing to pay a sky-high price, it involves the issue of whether it is cost-effective.
Spending 200 million to buy Neymar is two completely different things than spending 200 million to buy Van Dijk.
"Drigt and Militon, what do you think?" Florentino asked.
"Yes." Yang Yang nodded, "My first choice is Frankie De Jong in the midfield, and Pogba the second choice is. If you can't buy it, then Ndongbele, which is very important."
Yang Yang needs a player to partner with De Bruyne in the midfield. Originally, he was most optimistic about Pogba, but Pogba's performance at Manchester United made him deduct points. On the contrary, the growth and progress Frankie De Jong showed in the past season made Yang Yang very optimistic about this midfield young player.
Of course, Frankie De Jong has many suitors, such as Barcelona, Manchester City and Juventus, who are all good-for-money.
Of course Florentino would not refuse, because Real Madrid is very optimistic about Frankie De Jong. "In the past season, Jovic was the only center position that was eye-catching. As for the left back, what do you think of Taliafico?"
Yang Yang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I still hope there is a better choice."
Although Taliafico is Yang Yang's favorite player this season, he is not the type that Yang Yang wants the most. On the contrary, Yang Yang has always been more optimistic about Ruoge, a Brazilian left-back. Unfortunately, Taliafico performed so well this season that he was pressed on the bench by him and could not get a chance.
Sometimes the head coach is like this. He cannot reuse his favorite players as he pleases, but should consider the overall situation.
But Yang Yang's words surprised Florentino and others. They also realized that Yang Yang was not really nepotism, but was considering Real Madrid's overall situation. Otherwise, buying Taliafico would be the best choice.
"Let's submit a document after returning to the technical team." Florentino ordered Butragno.
The vulture nodded immediately to agree.
...
Yang Yang only put forward his own ideas and requirements. As for how Real Madrid negotiates with Ajax, it is about Real Madrid and Ajax's affairs. Yang Yang does not need to participate or worry.
Of course, if Florentino really can't handle Ajax or the player, Yang Yang will come forward appropriately.
But now, he is still Ajax's head coach.
...
After seeing Yang Yang off, Florentino breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
When Yang Yang returns, his position as chairman is preserved.
"When we talked to Modric, David Silva, Ramos, Suarez and others, we would like to reveal some information to them to let them know that they were originally on the team's cleaning list, and Yang Yang left them." Florentino ordered Manuel Redondo.
This is also establishing prestige for Yang Yang.
These players have been taken care of by Yang Yang, so they will definitely be willing to serve Yang Yang in the future. This will be beneficial to Yang Yang taking over the team. Florentino also hopes that Yang Yang can take over the team faster and train it faster.
"In addition, when discussing transfers with Ajax, try not to mention Yang Yang. This is the negotiation between the two clubs. We are responsible for it and we must take these players down at all costs."
Jovic, Dricht, Militon and Frankie De Jong are the hottest babies in European football.
There are also Haaland, Ashraf, Sancho, Odgao, Van der Beck…
These players are something Real Madrid is unwilling to miss.
