After the Christmas dinner, the players started the Christmas holiday.

But as the team's head coach, Yang Yang had no way to rest because he still had a lot of important things to do.

For example, arrange team training and games after holidays.

Since the Cup of Kings has changed the competition system, it has changed from the original two-round match to the current single-round knockout match, with the number of games greatly reduced. In addition, teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Valencia who participate in the Champions League do not have to participate in the knockout matches in the first two rounds, which gives them more rest time.

Therefore, after the Christmas holiday, Real Madrid only needs to play the 19th round of La Liga on January 3rd to challenge Getafe away, and then have two weeks of rest before they welcome the 20th round of opponents and face Sevilla at home.

Another obvious benefit is that Getafe is Madrid's team, while Sevilla is the home game.

In other words, Real Madrid has three weeks of preparation time.

As early as the schedule was released, Yang Yang had a discussion with the coaching staff, especially Antonio Pintus, and made a preliminary plan. As the season deepened, they continued to improve and improve, especially for the current situation of players in the team.

Now, the coaching staff needs to make a final decision on the training plan and competition schedule after the Christmas holiday.

Yang Yang is undoubtedly the only one who can make this decision.

Yang Yang's attitude towards this is very clear, that is, he should use this period of time to recharge the players and prepare for the second half of the game, especially to grasp the players' physical fitness.

Without sufficient physical fitness, nothing can help.

...

In addition to training and preparation, Yang Yang also has a very important task, which is to communicate with the management and conduct preliminary negotiations on the transfer next summer. It is best to give several scopes of signing.

This is also a normal situation for European clubs.

Many fans often think that signings are a matter during the transfer period, but in fact they are not.

Today's players, especially those that Real Madrid likes, can often cost tens of millions of euros or even over 100 million. In any industry, it is definitely an amazing deal. Who would be so hasty?

Not to mention anything else, even if it is placed in the country, with a business of tens of millions of euros or even over 100 million euros, which company did not carefully prepare plans, conduct repeated market research, and repeatedly consider various risk assessments before it finally implemented it?

The same is true for professional clubs.

Many times, summer signings often start operating half a year ago, or even a year ago.

Real Madrid this summer is destined to be a turbulent reorganization year.

Everyone can see that although David Silva and Modric performed better than last season, it is difficult to have their place in Real Madrid. It is no longer a secret to leave the team, and even the players themselves know this.

Those who win the midfielder win the world, this is the gain of Real Madrid in recent years.

Although Valverde has emerged this season, he has sent away two generals David Silva and Modric, and Tony Kroos has gradually become marginalized, which has made Real Madrid's midfielder shortage suddenly become short.

In his year of playing, Frankie De Jong basically achieved his worth. The two are the main midfielders in Real Madrid. Valverde, Kante and Casemiro are both good players in both offense and defense. As for Isco and Asensio, they are more of the role players on the team, and they cannot play the core main players.

In this case, Real Madrid's midfield recruitment is imperative.

Real Madrid's technical team gave a very good candidate, that is, Odegao, who plays for Ajax.

With the transfer of Frankie De Jong and Ndongbele, Odegao was quickly straightened and performed very well. He not only shone in the Eredivisie, but also performed quite eye-catching in the Champions League group stage, becoming the core main force of Ajax's midfielder.

This made the Real Madrid technical team look at Yang Yang differently.

When Yang Yang took Odegao and Ashraf away from Real Madrid, the two players were very low, with a total price of only a few million euros, but now, any of them are amazingly worth.

According to the market evaluation given by Deloitte, the current market price of Odgao is 50 million euros, while Ashraf is 60 million euros. Both of them are worth ten times more than when they left Real Madrid.

You know, this is the market's appraisal price, but it is basically impossible for any team to use this price to introduce players. Ajax will probably tore the offer directly.

In addition to Odgao and Ashraf, the most valuable player in Ajax is Sancho, the England international has a market price of up to 130 million euros. If it is transferred, it will definitely exceed Frankie DeJong's transfer fee.

There is also Haaland, the number one scorer of Ajax this season, scored eight goals in six rounds of the Champions League group stage, and performed quite eye-catchingly. The current market price has reached 80 million euros, and it can easily exceed 100 million.

Van der Beck is also worth an amazing value, the Dutch international is worth around 80 million euros.

It can be said that today's Ajax team is full of talents, and every player is a hot commodity.

For example, Diego Carlos, who had just transferred from Nantes for 10 million euros in the summer, has soared to 50 million euros after half a season. And as Ajax enters the Champions League knockout stage, his net worth still has the potential to continue to soar.

Brazilian player Martinelli's transfer fee is 5 million euros, but now his net worth has soared to 30 million euros.

After shocking the entire European football world with an income of 700 million euros this summer, Ajax is still full of talents, and the value of each player is amazing, and it has also attracted the attention and favor of European teams.

For example, Real Madrid is very interested in Odgao, Ashraf, Van der Beck, Sancho and Haaland.

Real Madrid's technical team has conducted an assessment. If they want to introduce these players, Real Madrid needs to invest at least another 400 million yuan.

This is based on the fact that there is no team competing with Real Madrid. If there is indeed a bid, it will definitely not stop.

This has caused Real Madrid's management team, including Florentino, Manuel Redondo, and especially Jose Sanchez, director of the business department, to look at Yang Yang completely changed.

Too crazy!

Who could have imagined that after selling more than 700 million euros in one summer, Ajax actually launched another group of players, and shined in the Champions League and achieved amazing value.

Yang Yang simply built Ajax into a crazy star-making factory!

Could it be that Ajax will launch a group of outstanding stars every year in the future?

After Yang Yang felt the eyes of everyone, he shook his head awkwardly and smiled bitterly.

"Don't think too much. At present, this group of players is just in the harvest period of the youth training reform results three years ago. There was a burst of talent surge. When this group has passed, it will be difficult to be like this in the future."

Yang Yang's words made everyone feel a little better, but they were still quite outrageous.

"You are so... amazing!" Jose Sanchez gave Yang Yang a thumbs up and convinced him.

When it comes to making money, he can't even catch up with Yang Yang.

Florentino was also very surprised, but he was very knowledgeable and did not stop losing his composure.

"It is very important to recall Odegao and Ashraf. Van der Beck is also the most eye-catching midfielder in European football. His tactical role is very obvious and it is worth our transfer fee for him."

"Suarez is old in the frontcourt, so we can't rely on Jovic alone. Hazard is about to be thirty years old. And although his form has recovered this season, his situation is always worrying..."

When Florentino said this, he turned to look at Yang Yang.

"This summer, we will make another big move and strive to create a top lineup for the next ten years. What do you think?"

Yang Yang smiled and nodded, "Of course I have no objection. No head coach can refuse such temptation. And to be honest, I know these players, they are all very capable and potential players."

Ajax proved himself in the Champions League, and these players proved their value and potential. Moreover, they are all very young and full of vitality. Once they come to Real Madrid, they will surely make Real Madrid the most dazzling and youngest team in European football.

More importantly, Real Madrid itself also has enough talent reserves.

Needless to say, local players such as Sebassola, Odriosora and Vallejo, Valverde, Frankie De Jong, Jovic, Dricht and Militon have no problem with holding on for another ten years. Vinicius and Rodrigo have all proved their amazing talent potential and growth rate.

If Ajax is introduced, let me ask, in the next ten years, who can compete with Real Madrid in European football?

Yang Yang is right, no head coach can resist such temptation.

But the premise is that he must have enough strength and reputation to control such a team, otherwise, in the end, he will only become a failure case like Lopetegui and Solari.

Real Madrid is not short of money now, with revenue exceeding one billion every year. Although Real Madrid spends a lot of money, with the current financial resources, it can fully support such investment.

What's more, this is not a wave every summer, but a transfer expense in the next five years and even the next ten years will be invested all at once. Therefore, Real Madrid can completely bear it.

Yang Yang himself does not oppose Real Madrid's plan, because even if Ajax and other players were really poached by Real Madrid, there are still a group of younger rookies such as Marlen, Stens, Boadu, Renier, and Perron waiting for the opportunity.

Perhaps their strength is not as strong as Frankie DeJong and Sancho, but as long as they are carefully cultivated, who dares to say that their future will be inferior to their predecessors?

This is also the virtuous cycle brought about by the reforms Yang Yang had implemented in Ajax before.
Chapter completed!
