Yang Hao came to Calderon all the way from Mahadahonda, which was new.
Both Cerezo and Hill received him warmly.
But when Yang Hao talked about Messi, both of them were a little surprised and remained silent.
Is it worth spending hundreds of thousands of euros a year to gamble on an illusory future?
From the perspective of the entire European professional football community, football has never been a risky investment. On the contrary, football management itself is already a high-risk industry, so it requires more vigilance and caution.
Every year around the world, countless stars of hope "die" due to various reasons.
Even if Messi is paid for treatment so that he can grow taller, how much will his probability of becoming a talent be increased?
This is a business.
Therefore, whether it is Yang Hao's previous life or this life, let alone European football, even in Argentina, there are basically no clubs interested in signing Messi.
Hill simply made a calculation and based it on a conservative three years, which is an investment of 500,000 to 600,000 euros.
With this money, you can buy a young rookie in Spain who is around 20 years old. After three years of training, you can sell him and get a higher transfer fee.
In terms of risk control, it is more stable than signing Messi.
Yang Hao actually understands the thinking of Xiao Hill and Cerezo. Small clubs must be prudent.
Not to mention Atletico Madrid, even Barcelona, which had a lot of money in the previous life, is the same?
What's more, Barcelona doesn't spend the directors' money, but the club's money, but Atletico spends the shareholders' money.
After understanding this level, Yang Hao said nothing more.
"In this way, if I sign Messi, all his fees and expenses will be borne by me, and the ownership will naturally belong to me."
Yang Hao's proposal surprised both Xiao Hill and Cerezo.
"Are you really so optimistic about Messi?" Hill was puzzled.
He couldn't understand Yang Hao more and more.
"He's a genius."
"There are many geniuses, Yang." Xiao Hill smiled bitterly.
He is indeed right. For teams in the four major leagues, talent is everywhere.
"He is different." Yang Hao replied firmly.
The three people immediately called over Fernando Vazquez, the director of the financial department. He specializes in studying systems and processes. After joining Atletico Madrid, he also did a lot of compliance investigations and research.
Just when he first heard it, he knew that this was a troublesome matter involving some gray areas.
But it doesn't matter.
There are more or less gray areas in professional football transfers, and even players' transfer fees can be set higher or lower financially, depending on the agreement between the two clubs.
After getting a positive reply from Fernando Vazquez, Yang Hao had nothing to worry about.
Before leaving, he looked at Xiao Hill and Cerezo with a smile, "You will definitely regret your decision today."
Both were amused.
Especially after Yang Hao left, Cerezo shook his head and sighed, "He is good at everything, but he is too gambling."
"You are still young after all."
Xiao Hill agreed with Cerezo's point of view this time.
He really admired Yang Hao, but sometimes he didn't agree with Yang Hao's views and practices.
Just like Messi today.
is it necessary?
Even if Messi is really kicked out in the future, how much will it be worth?
Wouldn't it be nice to wait for the Argentine team to train him and Atletico Madrid to sign him?
Why rush?
…
When Yang Hao left the Calderon Stadium, he had a wry smile in his heart.
He was mentally prepared for such a result.
In his previous life, Messi's father found many intermediaries and agents, and submitted countless reports to clubs of all sizes in Europe. Many teams were also interested in them, and Italy's Como even invited them for a trial training. .
But no team is willing to pay this money for Messi.
This is no accident.
Because in 2000, more than 100,000 euros a year was too luxurious for a 13-year-old child who would have to wait at least three or four years to see the signs.
Even Barcelona initially reached a private agreement between the management and the agent, and the opposition within the club was very strong. Only then did it appear that it later owed Messi medical expenses, which was revealed by Messi's father in a letter half a year later.
As for Atletico Madrid, they don’t even have this intention.
Hill actually wants to sell the team more. He prefers to run his farm in the suburbs.
At first, Yang Hao even persuaded him because of this.
As for Cerezo, he is engaged in the film industry and has many connections in the Spanish entertainment industry. Football is not his main business either.
In Yang Hao's previous life, during the years when Atletico Madrid rose rapidly in La Liga, it was not because of how good Cerezo and Hill were in management, but because they made friends with Mendes, the big broker who helped Atletico Madrid. It brought a lot of high-level players.
Of course, Simeone's coaching has allowed the Sheets to transform into the third pole in La Liga.
And in those years, Atletico Madrid has been selling shares.
If the old Hill really leaves, Yang Hao will not be surprised if the young Hill turns around and sells Atletico Madrid for a good price.
He is a good friend, but not a very good businessman, let alone an ambitious person.
On this point, Old Hill is still very accurate in judging people.
…
On the evening of August 27, Deportivo Riazor Stadium.
In the second round of the Spanish Super Cup, Atletico Madrid challenged Deportivo La Coruna away.
After winning 3-0 in the first round, Yang Hao was still extremely cautious when visiting the Riazor Stadium and put out his strongest lineup. Even the starting lineup was basically unchanged from the first round.
On the contrary, Deportivo made a lot of adjustments in this game.
For example, Belleron, Capdevila and Molina all started. Portuguese international Cristóvão replaced Donato and partnered with Naibert as a central defender. The other positions remained unchanged.
But even so, Atletico Madrid still turned against the visitors. After the opening, they took the lead in sounding the horn and launched a fierce high-pressure attack on Deportivo.
Even players like Belleron and Capdevila who have just left Atletico Madrid are a little surprised by the tactical change of their old club. The pressing and oppression are more intense and more intense than in the last few rounds of last season. Determined.
In particular, the players' running ability is much better than last season.
Before the end of the first half, it was a direct pass from Deco. Pandiani broke into the penalty area and hit the goal.
This is the second consecutive game the Uruguayan has scored since joining Atletico Madrid!
Irueta on the sidelines shook his head.
He originally took a look at the rifle first, but Yang Hao took advantage of it.
After changing sides in the second half, Deportivo launched a fierce attack and seemed to be fighting Atletico Madrid to the death.
But in the 52nd minute, during Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack, Pandiani sent a pass from behind. Vicente inserted into the penalty area at high speed and pushed with his left foot to score, 2-0!
This is also Vicente's first goal after joining Atletico Madrid!
With a total score of 5-0, Atletico Madrid can be said to have a guaranteed victory.
Yang Hao made a substitution in the 60th minute, replacing Pochettino with Carvalho, and then replaced Graveson with Cambiaso. Both substitutions were in the hope of training the young player.
Unexpectedly, in the 77th and 79th minutes, Atletico Madrid lost two goals in a row.
First, Dejaminha, who came on as a substitute for Belleron, received a pass from his teammate and broke into the penalty area to hit the ball. Then Tristan overpowered Carvalho and hit the ball in the penalty area.
In three minutes, Atletico Madrid seemed a little panicked after conceding two goals in a row.
At the critical moment, Yang Hao kept calling on the sidelines, and Van der Sar also kept calling his teammates in front of the goal, organizing the team's defense. Baraja, wearing the captain's armband, also took on the responsibility and calmly reminded teammate.
In the end, Atletico Madrid gradually stabilized its pace and maintained the 2-2 score until the end.
With a total score of 5 to 2, Atletico Madrid won the first championship of the new season!
…
After almost capsizing at the Riazor Stadium, Yang Hao did not blame the players in the locker room after the game. Instead, he praised and affirmed their performance. He thought it was good enough to draw with the opponent at the home court of the defending champion!
In particular, Atletico Madrid is still in its infancy stage, the players' cooperation is not tacit enough, and the defense is not strict enough.
However, after restorative training the next morning, Atletico Madrid resumed the game.
This is a habit that Yang Hao has adopted since coaching.
Review is more important than anything else and is a key part of the team's improvement and progress.
Yang Hao severely criticized the players this time, believing that when the team was leading by 2 goals and guaranteed a 5-0 victory, they obviously lost their guard and became careless, which is very fatal.
"I must remind you that this is just the Spanish Super Cup. If you treat it like this, what if you enter the Champions League or even play some major finals in the future? How do you stay calm and rational?"
Atletico Madrid players were obviously confused.
The team's goal is to enter the Champions League?
Can you still participate in major finals in the future?
Oh my god, no?
But seeing the rare stern look on the head coach's face again, it seemed more real than Pearl.
"Next, the game will be suspended for two weeks, and I will go on a trip. I hope you will make good use of this time and think about why you made such a mistake? Players who do not have national team competition obligations, when I come back, I want to see your answers.”
"Others, give me answers when you return to the team."
When Yang Hao severely reprimanded the players, the whole of Spain was actually full of praise for Atletico Madrid's 5-2 victory over Deportivo La Coruña and winning the Super Cup championship.
In terms of cards, Deportivo has an overwhelming advantage.
But in the game, Atletico Madrid took the initiative and had a very obvious advantage.
Yang Hao's tactics transformed a brand-new Atletico Madrid and left a deep impression on everyone.
Many people have even begun to look forward to Yang Hao's La Liga trip in the new season.
But Irueta does not think Atletico Madrid has the strength to challenge Deportivo La Coruna. He thinks it is more caused by the team's lack of preparation, because many players participated in the European Cup and Olympic Games this summer and it took a long time to return to the team. Late.
"We will take revenge in the new season."
