Chapter 1056: Grand Slam?
In the past period of time, Yang Huan has always stayed in China, playing in the Chinese Super League, playing for Beijing Guoen, which caused him to somewhat ignore his own teams in Europe.
However, this is also because of Peter Kenyon, so Master Huan is still very relieved.
The operations and development of these teams are on track, and there are fewer things to worry about Young Master Huan.
Besides, even if something really happened, Peter Kenyon would have the ability to solve it, and it would be a big deal if he really had to dispatch Young Master Huan.
However, after Yang Huan came to Monaco and listened to Peter Kenyon’s work report, he realized that no major events had happened, but many happy and annoying things had happened.
During the period when Yang Huan left, the two rounds of the UEFA Champions League's top 16 knockout rounds were all finished.
Southampton doubled Ajax in two rounds, and De Boer's team was helplessly eliminated from the Champions League by the Saints with a score of 5-0 and stopped in the round of 16.
Although it was a disastrous defeat, but lost to Southampton, Ajax also lost nothing to say.
Although the score was a complete defeat, in the process, several players in the Ajax team also performed well, such as Brazilian forward Luis Adriano and Brazilian international Bernard. These players are all in Ajax. Jax performed very well.
Although he stopped at the semifinals in the Champions League, Ajax performed quite well in the Dutch League.
In the Dutch League this season, De Boer’s team has maintained an unbeaten record so far, and even the tie has only been tied for two games. With an absolute advantage, De Boer firmly suppressed his rival PSV and temporarily ranked The position of the league leader.
"From the current situation, it is very likely that Ajax will win the Dutch League title, but there is a problem."
Peter Kenyon analyzed the situation in Ajax with a relaxed face, obviously with a good momentum.
"What's the problem?" Yang Huan asked.
Peter Kenyon shrugged helplessly, "Because the current team has performed well, many players including Luis Adriano have been targeted by the four major league teams!"
When Yang Huan, Sun Yue and others listened, they all laughed.
This is indeed a big problem!
Restricted by the objective conditions of the Dutch League, coupled with Ajax's own positioning problems, it is difficult for Ajax to compete with the teams of the four major leagues for talent, especially the middle and upper reaches of the four major leagues.
Luis Adriano’s ability is indeed very strong, that is, enough combat power. Whether he was in Shakhtar Donetsk before or later joined Ajax, his performance was quite good, especially in the Champions League. Make him famous in European football.
Today's European football is in short supply of talents. Players like Luis Adriano used to only attract the attention of mid-range teams, but now, many upstream teams, even giants, have begun to focus on him.
In this case, it is difficult for Ajax to compete with these teams.
However, the advantage is that these teams want to dig Luis Adriano, it is impossible not to take the bleeding.
"What do you think about Ajax?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Standing at the height of Young Master Huan, looking at Luis Adriano being poached is like a group boss looking at an ordinary employee's job-hopping. It's normal, no big deal.
"There are also young rookies in the Ajax team and they have performed well this season. There is no problem."
Peter Kenyon replied, paused, and continued: "Vander Sar's meaning is to sell Luis Adriano, leave Bernard, and bring the young players in the team to grow, and at the same time It also stabilizes the overall framework of the team."
This is also normal.
Even for a team like Ajax, it is impossible to sell out all the core players in the team.
It's really sold out, how can the team produce combat effectiveness?
What to do with Eindhoven?
"Moreover, in addition to Ajax, our talent pool is still very abundant. Monaco has Ponce, Jovic and Mbappé, Hamburg also has young players such as Sussex, plus Southampton, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. It’s no problem to fill Ajax’s vacancies with our talent pool."
Not to mention, Miracle Football Group also has a group of outstanding young players in Brazil, including Barbosa and Lincoln.
The advantage of group operation is that the internal flow of talents is convenient and the resource reserve is relatively abundant.
Once there is a gap in the supply of talents in a certain position of Ajax, the teams in the five major leagues such as Southampton, Hamburg, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Monaco can be rented or introduced for the first time.
Of course, if you can introduce more suitable players at a lower price, it will be more cost-effective.
Therefore, the brain drain is really a problem if it is placed on a team in Ajax, but if it is placed within the entire Miracle Football Group, it is no small matter.
Yang Huan is now more and more aware of the benefits of group operation, but this mode of operation is not without problems.
For example, the internal coordination and resource allocation of each team.
But in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Otherwise, why do European football investors begin to pay more and more attention to this?
"Master Huan, Ajax’s problem is relatively simple, but Southampton’s problem is probably more troublesome."
Peter Kenyon said with a solemn expression.
Yang Huan nodded faintly, without saying anything.
The situation in Southampton is really tricky now, but it's not because the team's performance is not ideal, on the contrary, because the team is too good and too ideal.
After the team won the League Cup, the team basically won Ajax because of the Champions League round of sixteen knockouts, so Ancelotti’s team focused on the Premier League, and the result was a winning streak. Southampton won the Premier League title ten rounds ahead of schedule.
This really surprised everyone. No one thought that Ancelotti's team would win with such an amazing lead, but what is even more surprising is that the Champions League entered the quarter-finals, and the FA Cup is the same. Reached the semi-finals.
According to the current state and momentum of Southampton, the possibility of entering the final is very high.
To use the slogan of the Saints fans today is to complete the four crowns that no one has ever completed in the history of the Premier League, achieve the Grand Slam, and complete a successful season.
This is undoubtedly a very exciting slogan, which is very difficult to achieve, but the possibility does exist.
Relatively speaking, the biggest risk is the Champions League.
However, Ancelotti is an old churros, the quarter-final knockout opponent Real Madrid coach Zidane is an out-and-out novice. The Saints have to overtake Real Madrid in terms of lineup and form.
Therefore, there is still great hope for the Saints to go further, otherwise, bookmakers such as William Hill will not list the Saints as the number one favorite to win the Champions League this season.
Peter Kenyon actually meant here.
If Ancelotti's coaching results are too good, what about the Saints?
According to the original plan, Guardiola will be used for Ancelotti?
This will undoubtedly be under heavy pressure, whether it is for Guardiola or Southampton.
On the contrary, it was Ancelotti, who must be happy to retreat.
But if the plan is changed temporarily to keep Ancelotti, everything the team has done before will be in vain.
What's more, Guardiola is also smug and wants to coach the Saints. If the team changes their minds temporarily, I am afraid it will completely offend the Spanish coach and completely destroy Yang Huan's entire plan.
So, sometimes, the results are too good, which is also a headache.
However, Southampton invited Pep Guardiola to coach. This is the plan that Yang Huan has made before. The team has also made sufficient preparations for this, including first-team signings and youth team transformation, which are all part of it.
Even this summer, the team will introduce Verrati from Monaco, who is also a midfielder picked by Guardiola.
If you change your mind temporarily at this time, it is indeed not Young Master Huan's style.
Therefore, after listening to Peter Kenyon's words, Yang Huan thought for a while.
"I will personally go to the UK to deal with this matter. No matter what Ancelotti's performance is, I invite Guardiola to take over. This decision cannot be changed."
Peter Kenyon and others also understood this.
Compared to Southampton, the problems of other teams are simpler.
Atlético Madrid's results this season are shining, and the current lead in La Liga is also large, and the possibility of winning again is very high.
After two or three years of accumulation and metabolism, Simeone's team finally ushered in the time for results.
However, unfortunately, in the Champions League round of sixteen knockouts, the Bedsheets defeated Eindhoven of the Eredivisie with a big score of seven to zero in two rounds. They entered the quarter-final knockout round, and the opponent they encountered eliminated Barcelona. Of Paris Saint-Germain.
Judging from the cards, Simeone's chances of advancing are still relatively high.
What's interesting is that in addition to the Premier League and La Liga, the leaders of Serie A and Ligue 1 are also Yang Huan's teams, namely Klopp's Inter Milan and Coman's Monaco.
Among them, Inter Milan's lead is also very obvious, and the championship is basically ironclad.
As for Coman's Monaco, currently only two points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, it should be considered the most promising team.
What's more rare is that Inter Milan defeated Pellegrini's Manchester City team in the Champions League round of 16 knockouts, Monaco also successfully defeated Zenit St. Petersburg and both entered the Champions League quarter-finals.
In other words, among the eight teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, Southampton, Monaco, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Hamburg, Yang Huan has occupied five teams, not to mention Tottenham, who has a supporting stock. Tottenham.
It should be said that Yang Huan himself is also very surprised by the Champions League.
In the Bundesliga, Tuchel's team is still one point behind Bayern Munich, but Hamburg is determined to reverse Bayern Munich, hoping to win the league championship again after many years of absence.
However, after the reorganization this season, the front court trident composed of Dzeko, Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koman shines in the Bundesliga, especially Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koman. It has attracted the attention of all European giants.
This also poses a big problem for Hamburg and Miracle Football Group.
That's how to keep these two players and keep the overall strength of the Hamburg team~lightnovelpub.net~ In the Champions League quarter-final knockout, the Hamburg team met Monaco, and it was another fight in the same room, and they were in the same place. The half are Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid.
Judging from the results of the lottery, the four teams are quite suspenseful, and the strength is basically between the first and second, winning or losing is normal.
Because of this, the Champions League this season has made fans all over the world enjoy it.
In the past few years, the strong teams such as Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco have been as strong as ever. This season, Klopp led the strong rise of Inter Milan, plus Tuchel led The dark horse burger of the Champions League, which undoubtedly injected fresh elements into the Champions League.
What's more rare is that these teams are very strong, and even have the strength to challenge top teams.
This undoubtedly brings more suspense to the Champions League.
