3. The person who leaves
The first week of the Longteng team's training camp in Hainan was mainly based on physical training, and the transfer of players is also a problem that must be considered, because it will affect the personnel position of the main squad in the future.
The first to go away was Xiao Yunfan.
As the "misplaced trio" who came together at the beginning, he is the one with the lowest potential value, and his body is not too strong.
Xiao Yunfan is certainly very sharp in assists, but when encountering powerful forwards and wingers, it is common to be broken through.
In the AFC Champions League and Club World Cup before, he was the target of the opponent's key attack.
To have such a high-profile performance in the Longteng team depends more on the strength of the overall strength of the Longteng team.
In fact, this conclusion can be drawn from Xiao Yunfan's current potential value and ability value, now Xiao Yunfan's two values are 74/74, and after Zhang Sheng's sale of players last season led to the average upgrade of the Chinese Super League, the ability value and potential value of many players in the Chinese Super League have reached or even exceeded this level.
In the 2015 season, when the Chinese Super League was just promoted, Zhang Sheng observed the potential value of many players, especially the main players in Guangzhou Evergrande, Shanghai SIPG, and Jiangsu Suning have been higher than this number, like several core players of Guangzhou Evergrande, Gao Lin's data is 76/82, Feng Xiaoting is 80/84, and Zengcheng is 78/ 83, Zou Zheng, Yu Hanchao They are mostly about 75 ability value, 80 potential value or so, of course, the highest is Guangzhou Evergrande captain Zheng Zhi, his ability value and potential value have been maintained at 87/110, if it is not for age, Zheng Zhi at the peak of the period to play the main force in the middle and lower reaches of the five major leagues in Europe is no problem.
With Xiao Yunfan's data, to be honest, going to Guangzhou Evergrande is just an ordinary main player.
Of course, his advantage is also very obvious, only twenty-two years old, as long as he maintains his state, he is more stable than those players in the Guangzhou Evergrande team who are generally about to reach 30 years old, or even over 30 years old, because most of the players once they are over 30 years old, their ability value will decline, after all, not everyone is like Zheng Zhi, so good.
What's more, most teams are still counting on Xiao Yunfan to continue to grow.
Therefore, when the Longteng team revealed its intention to replace Xiao Yunfan's position with a younger player, there were countless clubs that came to contact the Longteng team.
In the end, Jiangsu Suning, who had just taken over the team and had the direct qualification to play in the AFC Champions League, took the lead, and it was completely to create influence, and they offered a price that the Longteng team could not refuse - 100 million.
Xiao Yunfan, as the absolute main force of the last double champion Longteng team, is not necessarily how high this price is, but it can meet Xiao Yunfan's insistence on having the AFC Champions League to play, and he also has relatively high requirements for salary - 10 million after tax, such a condition can only be done by Jiangsu Suning, who wants to make a name for himself after accepting the club.
Xiao Yunfan's departure means the disbandment of the "misplaced Three Musketeers" in the Longteng team.
Zhou Zhou, as the oldest of the three, has now taken over the position of captain of the Longteng team, and should not leave the club in a short time, while Yu Bo is the three with the highest human ability and potential value, but because of the position - the midfielder, he has to play as a substitute for the foreign aids.
Now it is finally Xiao Yunfan's turn to leave the team, and the players called by the Longteng team in the second division finally began to slowly fail to keep up with the development of the club.
Not long after Xiao Yunfan left the team, another player Zhang Sheng who wanted to stay for a season also proposed a transfer, that is, Wei Zhimin.
As the team's semi-main player, Wei Zhimin played a lot of games last season, and when facing weak teams, he was Zhang Sheng's first choice at left wing-back.
Wei Zhimin and Xiao Yunfan are roughly the same, he is also the kind of fullback who has strong assist ability but is not good defensively.
Compared with Xiao Yunfan, Wei Zhimin's advantage is more obvious, that is, he is just 20 years old, he is one of the five age restricted players who do not occupy the club, and he can be introduced as a U21 player.
With the U21 player quota to play the main team of the team, it has become a matter of course to coax him.
In fact, according to Zhang Sheng's idea, in the position of fullback, at least two wings should have a player with enough game experience, but Wei Zhimin was too tempted by the outside world, with an annual salary of 10 million after tax, and a signing fee of 30 million.
At such a price, to be honest, there is really no way for the Dragon Teng team.
As a publicly traded club, the Dragons' salary framework has its own rules.
For example, in addition to foreign aid, the highest annual salary in the team before was Lin Feng, who transferred away, and his annual salary was 350,000 after tax, and several other main players such as Ma Yongli, Lu Zhihui and Tao Wentao only had an annual salary of 200 to 3 million after tax.
In fact, this is also a good treatment in the Chinese Super League now, in addition to Guangzhou Evergrande's annual salary far exceeding the Longteng team, the salary given by the Longteng club to the players is definitely at the top, and as a player from their own youth training system, it is normal for the salary to be lower than others.
The results of the 2015 season double championship made many players propose a salary increase, Lin Feng also asked for a salary increase after failing to stay in the United States, his requirements are not high, and the main force of Guangzhou Evergrande is on par, but such a requirement completely broke the salary structure of the Longteng team, and was rejected by the Longteng club, and the subsequent transfer became inevitable.
At the end of the season, the Longteng club generally increased the salaries of players, such as the team's defensive core Ma Yongli increased from 3 million to 4 million.
But compared with the clubs outside that spend a lot of money to poach people, it is really not enough to see.
For example, the price given by Huaxia Happiness this time is far higher than Wei Zhimin's annual salary of only two million, and Zhang Sheng really can't say anything about such an attraction.
Now Li Gang, the head coach of Hebei Huaxia Happiness, seemed very embarrassed, and made a special call to Zhang Sheng to say that this was the club's arrangement, not Wei Zhimin.
Zhang Sheng understands very well, after all, Huaxia Happiness is now in a hurry to spend money to strengthen the team, and professional players ultimately look at their own income, and it is difficult for you to say that Wei Zhimin, who already has multiple championships in hand.
In the end, Huaxia Happiness got Wei Zhimin at the same price as Xiao Yunfan, and the transfer fee of 100 million yuan was a lot.
Not long after Wei Zhimin left, Pato's transfer was also decided.
It should be said that Pato's agent Kilmar Vilos is really good in terms of ability and connections, as in history, it is Chelsea who have taken a fancy to Pato, and proposed a loan-and-buy contract.
The current Chelsea can be described as really miserable, although Mourinho is out of class, but the team doctor between him and the team doctor Eva has put the whole team in turmoil, who would have thought that Chelsea, who is aiming to win the championship, will be in the relegation zone after three months of league games?
Although Hiddink's morale has stabilized a lot after accepting the team, the two people who played well last season have completely fallen into a slump, especially Costa, the hero who won the championship last season, did not score in many rounds, and several substitute strikers also performed in a mess.
For that to end, finding a striker is a priority for Chelsea.
After a quick spin in the transfer market, Chelsea suddenly realized that there really weren't any strikers who could make an immediate difference in the winter window, and it was at this time that Kilmar Vilos's recommendation of Pato was taken seriously by the club.
Pato's performance in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League Chelsea does not pay much attention, but his performance in the Club World Cup against Mexico América and Barcelona is obvious to all, Hiddink has very high requirements for the player's running, and Pato's running in the Chinese Super League, AFC Champions League and Club World Cup is definitely satisfactory to him.
At the same time, a large number of runs have not been injured, which proves that Pato's body is indeed in the best condition.
In the end, Chelsea, who were desperately short of strikers, signed Pato with half a season's salary - two million euros plus a buy-out clause.
Such conditions are already very good for a player who has come from the Chinese Super League.
The negotiation between the Longteng team and Chelsea this time opened the communication channel between the two sides, and Chelsea also put forward requirements for many Chinese players in the Longteng team, especially for Nie Jiang, a talent who has a good reputation in European football, Chelsea even put forward the request of the right of first refusal.
In the end, Zhang Sheng prevaricated on the grounds that Nie Jiang's age did not meet the requirements.
Even if the two sides did not reach an agreement on the issue of Nie Jiang, the two sides still made a lot of progress in the cooperation between the two clubs, and gave a long-term plan for the exchange of visits between the two teams after the season, the arrangement of friendly matches, etc.
With Pato's departure, the Dragons also accelerated the introduction of foreign aid.
It's a pity that waiting for the Dragons is not good news, judging from the scouting team's inspection and transmission, Brazil's Costa recommended Leo Zitadini, Douglas Baggio, Adrian Oliveira Tavares to Zhang Sheng is now performing very average, after becoming famous at a young age, these players fell very quickly, some were sent back to the youth team by the first team, and some could not find a chance in the youth team.
It seems that the players who didn't play anything famous before Zhang Sheng's crossing are indeed not very good.
As for the Argentine players, the situation is very complicated.
On Acosta's side, the asking price of the Lanús team is very high, perhaps because they heard that the clubs in the Chinese Super League have money, and they even offered him a price of 30 million euros.
For a player who has been selected for the Argentine national team but is now returning to Argentina from Europe, such an asking price is outrageous.
At the same time, Acosta himself did not have much interest in playing in the Chinese Super League, and the Longteng team had to give up this goal.
As for Diego Perotti, now the Dragons have a strong opponent.
Diego Perottti's Genoa is now the second-to-last attacking team in Serie A, and his performance on the attacking line is not good, even so, in order to replace the vacancy left by Iturbe, the Serie A giants Roma still fancy him, and in the choice between the Chinese Super League team and Roma, Diego Perotti chose the latter.
In this way, the Longteng team is very discouraged, it seems that as long as it is a player who is confident in his ability, unless he offers a very high price, it is still difficult to play in the Chinese Super League.
Rigoni doesn't mind playing in the Chinese Super League, but his asking price is too high, and his situation is complicated, with half of his current ownership in the hands of his team, Atlético Argentina, and half of his debut team, Belgrano.
The Atlético agreed to the Dragons' offer to buy him out, but Belgrano strongly disagreed, wanting to keep 50% of Rigoni's ownership.
The Dragon Club hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to give up, because the club was not familiar with such a thing as 50% ownership, and had no experience in what to encounter inside, and finally targeted Rodrigo Gomez and Rodrigo De Paulo.
Rodrigo Gomez is now playing in Argentina's youth team and is a substitute, and the outside world has a good evaluation of him, but in terms of actual performance, his too thin body and very ordinary confrontation ability make his future not very good.
Coupled with the fact that the Dragons now have a player like Fernando who is fast on the wing, but with a thin body, Rodrigo Gomez's role is too low.
Eventually, the Dragons set their sights on Rodrigo de Paulo.
In 2014, Rodrigo De Paul transferred to Valencia in La Liga, but the high expectations given to him by the club did not materialize, and for a player who landed in La Liga at the age of 19, it is difficult to play the main team without a very dazzling performance.
So in Valencia, he didn't have many opportunities to play, and in this winter window, Rodrigo De Paul has the intention of leaving Valencia.
Now he has a few options, one is to go back to Argentina to play in shape and then seek a transfer to Europe, one is to go directly to a low-level team in Europe, and finally the current Longteng team.
Rodrigo De Paul has an impression of the sudden appearance of the Dragons team, as a fan of Messi, he has been following the Barcelona game, just some time ago, the Dragons appeared in the match with Barcelona.
Rodrigo De Paulo had been dismissive of Barcelona's opponents, the Dragons, but the course of the game changed his opinion, and the Dragons' tenacity allowed them to equalise at one point.
"The quality of the Super League team is probably not bad. "This is the first impression that the Longteng team left on him about the Chinese Super League team.
And with Pato being loaned to the giants Chelsea, he has seen how close this team is to the Europa League, even now there are European teams chasing him, but Chelsea's name still really shocked him.
Soon, Valencia's side's laissez-faire attitude towards the team's fringe players, and with the Dragons' €4 million offer being far more than when they bought him, the club agreed to let the Dragons and Rodrigo De Paul discuss personal treatment.
It can be said that Pato, the player who left, also made a contribution to the Longteng team.
