As soon as Pan Yi finished speaking, the expression on Felipe Vieira's face became a little complicated.

It's not Oblak.

This also means that the wishful thinking of letting Chelsea and Atletico Madrid engage in a bidding war to sell Oblak at a better price will not work.

And the two young generals Pan Yi was talking about...

How to put it this way, they are indeed excellent products from Benfica's youth training, but they were just transferred to the first team last season. They have not yet conducted a "product display", so their worth will naturally not be high.

He originally thought about making a big deal with Chelsea, but he didn't expect that Pan Yi was interested in small fish and shrimps. Of course, Felipe Vieira felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ah, Mr. Pan Yi, I don't know how you fell in love with these two, but our club is not ready to sell them for the time being." Felipe Vieira declined politely, "They are all our outstanding talents. Youth training players are very important to us.”

A smile appeared on Pan Yi's face.

Isn't it funny that the chairman of the Benfica club said that his players are very important and don't want to sell them?

Have you sold too few youth training players over the years?

In fact, Pan Yi also understood what Felipe Vieira meant.

That is, these two young players from youth training are still too "small fish" and cannot be sold at a good price.

If you want to sell, you have to wait for a period of time to let the "small fish" grow into a "big fish", and then you can sell it!

In other words: "You have to pay more!"

In fact, now that Pan Yi is here, it is indeed the time when Cancelo and Seat B are at their lowest value.

The development trajectories of the two of them are somewhat similar. They both entered the Benfica youth training camp early and were promoted to the first team last season.

But most of the time, the two of them played in the B team and only played two or three games in the real first team.

This season, Benfica decided to rent both of them out.

It was this rental that allowed the two of them to gradually embark on the road to stardom.

Cancelo was loaned to Valencia in La Liga. After the end of the season, he was officially bought out by Valencia for 15 million euros, and then became the team's starting candidate for the full-back position.

Then he went to Inter Milan, Juventus, and Manchester City, and gradually became the world's top full-back, and his worth also increased.

The performance of Seat B is even better.

He was loaned to Monaco in Ligue 1 before being bought out after only half a season. Monaco also spent a transfer fee of 15.75 million euros.

He then helped Monaco win the Ligue 1 championship from Paris Saint-Germain, was selected into the best team of Ligue 1 that season, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Then he was quickly targeted by Manchester City and spent 50 million euros to sign him, becoming one of the most reliable generals in the hands of Guardiola.

Pan Yilai's purchase of the two of them had obviously been carefully considered.

Cancelo is a good player who can play as a wing-back on the left and right sides. He has efficient wing capabilities.

He is fast, has good foot skills, and has obvious physical advantages, which allows him to complete the offensive and defensive transitions straight up and down on both sides. He is a sharp wing attacker.

Although he is only 20 years old now, he may be a little short of absolute strength compared with Alonso or Azpilicueta, but as a "all-rounder", he can easily perform substitute rotations on both sides.

Moreover, compared to the slower Alonso, Cancelo's explosive power and sprinting ability can also play his role in some specific tactical scenarios, which can enrich Pan Yi's 343 tactical routines.

Not to mention Seat B.

He is an all-rounder who can play multiple positions in the midfield and frontcourt. His advantage is that he has comprehensive skills and no obvious shortcomings - perhaps he is slightly weaker in fighting for the ball in the air.

Bernardo Silva's task on the field is to use passing and advancement to support the front line after completing the defense, and rely on breakthroughs or through passes near the penalty area to tear apart the opponent's defense. The open space behind the center is his exclusive area.

His body is thin but he does not lack in confrontational ability. His advantage is that he is good at using good body flexibility and balance to complete technical movements. He has a strong ability to control the center of gravity under pressure. After starting, he accelerates continuously and suddenly while traveling. Strong ability to change direction and speed.

Although his personal defensive ability is not outstanding, Bernardo is relatively good in proactively implementing pressure awareness, attacking defense and grasping the timing of pursuit.

In the 343 formation envisioned by Pan Yi, Seat B can appear as the right winger or left winger, completing flexible position changes with Hazard or even center Lukaku on the other side, making the opponent hard to defend;

Under some special tactical requirements, Seat B can also retreat to the middle of the midfield to serve as an organizer.

He can even play in the two defensive midfielder positions in 343, helping the entire midfield and backfield to sort out the ball!

Whether it is Cancelo or Seat B, one thing they have in common is "comprehensive".

This is also the biggest feature of Pan Yi's current lineup.

Many players are capable of playing multiple positions and can appear in the corresponding positions according to Pan Yi's needs to perform different responsibilities.

For example, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Matic, Alonso, and Kante, who Pan Yi is about to deal with, are all like this.

Therefore, capturing these two young Portuguese players is a very useful addition to Pan Yi's lineup for the new season, and is also the last piece of the puzzle to complete the perfect lineup he has built!

"Mr. Vieira." Pan Yi said to the Benfica chairman with a smile, "Let's make it clear that people don't speak secretly, and don't say anything like "you don't want to sell, it's important". I want the two of them, and you make a move. Price."

"This..." Felipe Vieira looked slightly embarrassed, but still considered it awkwardly before he said, "Actually, for these two players, we have already reached an agreement with the two clubs. They are going to On loan to…”

"Valencia and Monaco, right?" Pan Yi said.

"How do you know?" Felipe Vieira was surprised.

Not only him, but also Scaloni, who came with Pan Yi, was surprised.

It seems like no one mentioned this information in the previous meeting!

How did Pan Yi know?

"I have been paying attention to these two players for a long time." Pan Yi smiled, "How dare I come to ask for someone without doing any homework?"

Seeing Felipe Vieira's silence, Pan Yi added: "You loan them out just to let them out, so that they can sell them at a good price. I came here today and I will This step is saved, how about we get it right in one step?"

"This..." Felipe Vieira did not respond directly, but the answer already appeared on his face.

It just depends on how much money Pan Yi pays!

Pan Yi simply said: "Both of them have just joined the first team, and their worth is not very high. Let's just suffer a little loss, and package them both for 15 million, how about it?"

"So expensive?" Scaloni on the side couldn't help but lightly touched Pan Yi's shoulder.

In his opinion, two young people who have not yet proven their strength are indeed not worth such a high price.

But Pan Yi calmly signaled him to calm down, and then looked at the Benfica chairman.

Felipe Vieira looked hesitant: "To be honest, your offer is very sincere. However, it is not easy for our club to train a young player. You have to take away two at once..."

"20 million." Pan Yi calmly gave a new quotation, and added, "There are no other additional terms, and it is a one-time payment, cash!"

This made Felipe Vieira a little moved.

This is a sudden increase in the quotation by five million euros!

Sure enough, it is the style of a rich man!

Moreover, for two children like Seat B and Cancelo, 20 million euros is almost really worth it!

For comparison, the 21-year-old Spanish international Morata has played steadily in clubs like Real Madrid.

This season he moved to Juventus for a transfer fee of 20 million euros.

Pan Yi is so willing!

And there are no additional terms and one-time cash payment!

You must know that in many club player transactions, actual one-time payment in cash is very rare.

Everyone wishes they could break their money in half and spend it!

For example, you can buy a player for 20 million at a fixed price, but a more affordable approach is to pay 5 million down first, and then pay the remaining 10 million over three or four years.

What, another 5 million?

That may be when this player wins XX championships, scores XX goals, or plays XX times, or even wins the Ballon d'Or...

In short, it's just a picture of a pie. The bigger the picture, the better, and the more outrageous the picture, the better. Many conditions are difficult to achieve in the end.

Therefore, many times this player seems to be worth 20 million, but in fact, the number in the hands of the selling club may not be that much.

If the buyer does this, he will actually only spend 5 million in the current season, so he still has 15 million that can be used to draw more pie and buy more players.

In the transfer market, such operations are considered routine operations.

But someone like Pan Yi, who can get 20 million in cash at the drop of a hat, is truly rare!

So this made Felipe Vieira a little bit incompetent.

He felt that as the chairman of the "European Black Shop", he was experienced in many battles. What kind of negotiations had he not seen?

But today like this...

He has never seen it before!

How could there be such a huge sum of five to five million without careful calculation and research?

You know, when two clubs are really doing business, whether it is an offer or a counter-offer, every dollar must be compared. This is why many transactions are delayed until the end, and are not completed until the transfer market is almost completely closed.

"Mr. Pan Yi, I feel your sincerity. But... these two players are the young people we are most optimistic about in recent years. If they are sold like this, it will cause dissatisfaction among members..." Felipe Wei Ella's voice trembled slightly.

He also saw that Pan Yi really wanted Cancelo and Seat B.

Although he couldn't figure out how Pan Yi knew the potential of these two players, and even learned that they were about to be loaned to Monaco and Valencia;

But he wants to understand now, how much can Pan Yi earn?

Because the offer of 20 million euros is almost the price at which Felipe Vieira can sell these two players, but it is still a little short of his psychological price.

But he didn't dare to raise the price too high himself, say 30 million or something.

What if Pan Yi is scared away if he talks too high?

This business may be ruined.

20 million euros!

Even if Benfica’s youth training camp is rich in products, it’s not like just two of them can be sold for 20 million euros.

Therefore, it is more reliable to let Pan Yi come up with the quotation himself.

Therefore, Felipe Vieira used his usual trick, which was to talk about his difficulties.

It's like throwing the blame to the fans, saying that the fans are unwilling to sell such a young and promising player. If I must sell, I will definitely be criticized.

Anyway, that’s what it means. To sum it up, it’s still the same word: “Money needs to be added.”

Pan Yi is not a fool, of course he also heard the overtone of Felipe Vieira's words.

He actually laughed now.

What he needs most now is money!

He doesn't want to waste time. Anyway, with the capabilities of Seat B and Cancelo, to be honest, even if it is sold as a package for 30 million or 40 million, it can't be said to be expensive, right?

Anyway, according to the normal timeline, they would indeed sell it for about 30 million euros in six months to one year at most.

Therefore, even if Pan Yi paid 30 million euros, he would not lose a dime.

"25 million euros, or cash!" Pan Yi pretended to be in pain and added another five million. "You should think about it carefully. If it doesn't work, we will forget it..."

"Ah... don't, don't, don't..." Felipe Vieira's mouth almost reached his ears.

The duck you got can't fly anymore!

So, he didn't dare to waste any more time, slapped the table and stood up, then came over and held Pan Yi's hand tightly:

"25 million euros, that's it!"

Pan Yi smiled.

Looking at the "make money, make money" expression on the other party's face, how would he feel if he knew that the two of them would have no problem selling together for 100 or 200 million in the future?

However, Pan Yi still asked with a bad smile: "Didn't you just say that your fan members would have opinions..."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Felipe Vieira waved his hand, "I will appease the fans' opinions. When will we sign the transfer contract?"

——

"This, and this, this..."

At the Cobham training base, Pan Yi was at the training ground of Chelsea's U21 youth team, pointing at the young players on the field.

On the side, Adrian Vives, the head coach of the U21 youth team, watched with a wry smile as one of his players was selected by Pan Yi and then promoted to the first team.

It is actually a normal operation for the first team coach to go to the youth team to ask for someone.

I just didn't expect that Pan Yi, the new head coach, would need so many people, and the team's strength would be weakened a lot.

After all, he also wants to lead the team to participate in the U21 Youth League. How can he play if there is no one left?

Of course Pan Yi saw Vivesh's expression, but he just thought it was funny.

Who makes Chelsea's youth team so talented?

However, due to the fierce competition in the first team at a big club like Chelsea, it is difficult for talents from their own youth training to gain a foothold in the first team.

Therefore, many Chelsea young players are either on long-term loan or almost sold.

There are actually many very strong characters here.

For example, Pasalic is 19 years old this year.

The future Croatian international was later loaned to AC Milan and was finally bought out by Atlanta.

Another example is little Hazard.

Hazard's younger brother was later loaned to Borussia Mönchengladbach and bought out, then moved to Dortmund and was also selected for the Belgian national team.

And Romeu, Kinkel, McKechran...etc.

In fact, they are all at the level of the five major leagues.

However, because Pan Yi's requirements are also very high, coupled with position restrictions, he can only choose the players that the team most urgently needs.

The above players can only be allowed to develop freely.

"Romelu Lukaku."

"Natan Acker."

"Ruben Loftus-Cheek."

"Kurt Zuma."

"Patrick Bamford."

"Andreas Christensen."

This is Pan Yi's final list of players to be transferred to the first team.

There are three centre-backs, two forwards, and one midfielder.

These three young central defenders are the substitutes for his three-back formation.

In the original Chelsea lineup, since they had always played four defenders, the combination of Terry + David Luiz + Gary Cahill was actually enough to cope with most situations.

Coupled with the presence of the versatile Azpilicueta and Ivanovic, there is actually no need to consider adding too many manpower at the central defender position.

But now that Pan Yi wants to play three central defenders, the manpower naturally begins to become insufficient.

Therefore, adding Christensen, Ake and Zouma to supplement the number of central defenders is what Pan Yi must do.

Of course, whether it is Ake, Zouma, or Christensen, all three of them have the ability to gain a foothold in wealthy clubs.

Especially Ake, who actually came out of the Feyenoord youth training camp. He is a versatile midfielder and can play in multiple positions such as left back, left wing back, central defender and even midfielder.

Ake can be said to have become famous at a young age. After playing in the U17 World Cup on behalf of the Dutch national youth team, he switched from Feyenoord to Chelsea.

His transfer in 2011 caused an uproar because Feyenoord was unwilling to give up outstanding talents to others, so they filed a charge with the Dutch Football Association for "trading underage players", but Chelsea finally settled the matter with cash. A lawsuit.

In his first year at Chelsea, the 16-year-old Ake was placed in the reserve team for training. As a result, he helped the team win the 2012 FA Youth Cup.

At the age of 17, Ake had already played for Chelsea's first team. He once partnered with Lampard as a double midfielder and performed well.

However, he failed to get a fixed position in the first team and was rented out until Pan Yi arrived.

In fact, in the future, whether it is Guardiola who comes to Manchester City or Louis van Gaal who coaches the Dutch national team, they will have great trust in this comprehensive left-footed center back and let him gradually grow into a world-class star.

Loftus-Cheek, who plays in the midfield position, is a native of Chelsea. He entered Chelsea's youth training camp at the age of eight and is a real "prince"!

He is a talented, versatile midfielder with the ability to control a game.

As a midfielder, a good sense of position is the foundation for everything to catch and deliver the ball. Before and when you catch the ball, you must know clearly where your opponent is, where your teammates are, and where the gaps are. And Chick is quite good in this regard.

At the same time, he also possesses the trait that Pan Yi values ​​​​at present: omnipotence.

Chick's characteristic is that he is very adaptable and can play multiple positions, from winger to defensive midfielder, from shadow forward to attacking midfielder, and from No. 8 to No. 10.

This kind of snake oil characteristic allows him to find his suitable position no matter who his teammates are or what tactical formation he is.

He gradually played in Chelsea's youth teams at all levels, and was also called up by England's national teams at all levels, and was eventually selected for the England team, which also proved his strength.

And the two forwards are even more heavyweights!

There is no need to say more about Lukaku.

He weighs 200 pounds and can run so fast, what else can you ask of him?

The other Bamford is not an ordinary person.

He is a true academic master, proficient in English, French, German and Spanish. His GCSE scores are 5 A+, 3 A and 2 B. When he was 16 years old, he applied for some college interviews in advance, and Harvard University sent him an invitation and a sports scholarship.

In the end, he rejected Harvard University's invitation and chose to become a professional player.

On the court, the England center is not a single-purpose center player. He can shoot and has skillful ball control skills. In addition to the center, he can also serve as an offensive midfielder and left and right wings.

His physical fitness and defensive ability are also outstanding among forwards, which is why he can gain a foothold in Bielsa's almost crazy Leeds United team in the future.

Of course, he was later selected for the England team.

Pan Yi's selection of Lukaku and Bamford also finalized the candidates for Chelsea's center position this season.

At that time, it will be these two young people who will compete for the main position!

It is precisely because of this that he has no plans to call up old player Vardy to Chelsea.

It just so happens that Leicester City has taken a fancy to Vardy. Isn't this back to the correct world line?

——

Pan Yi was alone when he walked to the youth team training ground, but when he came back there were seven people!

He brought six young players back to the first team at once!

These young players were very surprised when they received the notice. After all, being rented out seemed to be their fate.

But unexpectedly, Pan Yi directly transferred them to the first team without even watching a teaching game, realizing their dream for many years. How could the young players not be excited?

And when a group of people passed through the barbed wire fence and entered the first team's training area, the coaches and players of the first team were also alarmed.

Especially the players, they all feel the pressure.

Pan Yi has always been famous in world football for his courage to reuse young players, but many people think that sometimes it is just a helpless move on his part.

After all, both Milan and Hamburg are strapped for transfer funds, so Pan Yi can only tap the potential of young players to achieve the most cost-effective team growth.

Now at Chelsea, with the permission of Abramovich's boss, it can be said that he has unlimited funds, so maybe he won't do that.

But what I didn't expect was that Pan Yi directly promoted six young players to the first team today!

The increase in first-team players also means increased competitive pressure.

If you don't train and compete well, you are very likely to be demoted to the reserve team by the strict coach Pan Yi!

In the office building next to the training ground, Chelsea's Bruce Buck and CEO Ron Gurray also stood in the office, silently watching everything happening outside the window.

"I originally thought that he would spend a lot of money from the club to buy players, but I didn't expect that he only bought four people and stopped." Bruce Buck said.

The four people the chairman mentioned are Marcos Alonso, Bernardo Silva, Cancelo and Kante.

Among them, Seat B and Cancelo spent a total of 25 million, Alonso spent 15 million, and Kante spent the most, 40 million euros.

But the total expenditure of 80 million euros was already a very small expenditure according to Bruce Buck's expectations.

Ron Gurray nodded cheerfully: "This is our good coach! We have money to spend, but we will not spend it randomly. Dare to promote young players, this is what we like to see, this will It helps local fans feel more connected to the club rather than saying we are international mercenaries..."

Bruce Buck also smiled and said: "You have always supported asking him to be the head coach. Now I have to admit that I am starting to like him a little bit. Then, it depends on how our coach Pan Yi can control this group of people. It’s integrated into a whole…”
