2. What if there is no crossing benefit?
At the same time, Zahavi was also in a bit of a dilemma, and the Dragon Club also contacted him through his agent, and after learning about the situation of the Dragon Club, Zahavi also hesitated.
A team that can play against Barcelona, with a large number of players in the team going to play in Europe, and seeing that Pato is also going to Europe, such a team is not a garbage club.
At the same time, in terms of annual salary, even if it is a verbal promise, the Longteng team is very sincere.
Although you are now Israel's number one star, Zahavi's annual salary in Israel is not high, only 600,000 euros, which is already the highest salary in the history of the Israeli league, and the Longteng team gave him an annual salary of 2 million euros and a signing fee of 300,000 euros.
You must know that Pato only had 3.5 million when he joined the Dragon Club, and even if he later raised his annual salary once, it was only 4 million.
The price offered by the Dragons is more than three times his current annual salary.
Given the strength of this season's Israeli league champion, Bellman, once Zahavi does not win the league title, according to the allocation of places among the major leagues in the Champions League, only the champion of the Israeli league will be able to play in the second round of qualifying.
In other words, it is entirely possible that he will not even be able to play in the Champions League next season.
In the end, after thinking about it, Zahavi insisted on his opinion - try to fight again to see if he can play in the Champions League again.
Since both Maccabi Tel Aviv and Zahavi are reluctant to leave the club in the middle of the season, the Longteng club can only see him as a supplement to the team's recruitment.
In fact, it is not only the Dragons who are staring at Zahavi, there are also many competitors.
As early as the beginning of 2015, Tianjin TEDA proposed to buy Zahavi, Maccabi was originally released, but unfortunately at that time, the league was defeated, and the championship was not guaranteed, so it was not sold.
He is also interested in Guangzhou R&F, who bought Ivo from the Longteng team in mid-2015, and now Guangzhou R&F coach Stojkovic and Maccabi last year's Champions League coach Jokanovic are both Serbian and good friends, and the latter recommended Zahavi to Stojkovic.
Historically, Guangzhou R&F has also relied on this relationship, in the middle of 2016, when Zahavi was bored on vacation in Thailand during the interval after the Israeli league results, R&F Club sent someone to contact him to talk.
So for the hook-up of the Dragons, the Maccabi club is of course welcome.
In the case of not being able to take Zahavi immediately, Zhang Sheng decisively contacted the four South American brothers before.
After the Longteng team began to make a name for themselves in the Chinese Super League, four friends from South America became closer to Zhang Sheng, Roque Gill was introduced by Argentina's brother Martin, and Chavez was a transfer that Costa spent a lot of energy to promote.
This time, the Longteng team entered the Club World Cup, and the four of them also made a special call to chat with Zhang Sheng for a long time, especially Mexico's Herrera's brother is still a scout of the American team, and Zhang Sheng also bet with him on who wins in the end, and the final result ended with Herrera calling Zhang Sheng three times "uncle".
Since Zhang Sheng's crossing, how to deal with it once there is no omniscient omnipotence of the traverser has always been a problem that Zhang Sheng has been considering.
Zhang Sheng has been planning for a long time for this matter, in the first two years when he just came back, because the Longteng team was limited by the low level of the league and could not bring in reinforcements, Zhang Sheng had to contact these friends in South America for a long time, and at the same time help them pave the way in the Chinese Super League, and help them introduce players to the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League to obtain benefits.
Next, Zhang Sheng took the initiative to participate in this interest group, set up a joint venture brokerage company, and continued to help them open up the Chinese football market, so that everyone has common interests in addition to personal relationships.
At the same time, he vigorously invested in the club's foundation, laid a good software and hardware environment, created a huge scout team, and urgently led the team to upgrade, which was all prepared for Zhang Sheng's future without crossing benefits.
After arriving in the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng abandoned the well-known cost-effective foreign aid of the Chinese Super League, and instead introduced Roque Gill and Chavez, two players who have never played in the Chinese Super League in history, just to verify the vision and strength of himself, the coaching staff, and the scouting team.
At least judging from the current results, Zhang Sheng has not missed a beat.
If he knew that Zahavi had killed all sides of the Chinese Super League team in history, he would have a greater sense of accomplishment if the team could focus on Zahavi this time.
You must know that the Middle East, especially West Asia and North Africa, has always been the territory of China's "famous" brokers. Historically, he has brought in Hamed, Aaron, Svensson, Michel, Bruninho and even Conterra to follow this line.
It took a lot of effort for the Dragons' scouting team and agent company to be able to reach here.
As time gets closer and closer to the day when Zhang Sheng crossed over, Zhang Sheng is becoming more and more confident in his future.
Regarding Zhang Sheng's request to buy a winger, the four brothers gave a lot of suggestions.
Brazil's Costa recommended Leo Zitadini, Douglas Baggio, Adrian Oliveira Tavares and others to Zhang Sheng, and Demichelis who saw Roque Gil play well was more realistic, and recommended a lot of practical winger players to Zhang Sheng, including players like the long-established Acosta and Rigoni, Diego Perotti who has encountered difficulties temporarily, and Rodrigo De Paul, Rodrigo Gomez and other players who have great potential.
Foreign aid is being selected, Zhang Sheng is not idle, when the players of the Longteng team are still resting, Zhang Sheng and the coaching staff have begun to gather.
The preparation for the 2016 winter training season of the Longteng team has officially begun, and compared with other Chinese Super League teams, the Longteng team is already the club with the shortest winter training arrangement.
Because according to FIFA regulations, players who have worked hard for a season should get at least a month off. As a result, it was not until January 20 that the Dragons regrouped.
As the saying goes, the plan of the year lies in the spring. When the winter gradually passes and the temperature warms up into spring, it is the time when the teams of the Chinese Super League are completed. Teams need to find a warm and suitable place to train, and they also need to choose suitable warm-up opponents. The winter training of about 2 months plays a vital role in the team's running-in, new signings and tactical formulation.
Especially when the Dragons are still working hard in the Club World Cup, some teams have already started their own winter training.
Among the 16 Chinese Super League teams, the earliest assembly is Liaoning Hongyun, which started winter training on December 1, 2015 and started nearly 50 days earlier than the latest Longteng team. Because there is no strong lineup, no huge investment, and a large number of players are sold, and the results of the 2016 season can be described as worrying.
Most of the teams that train at about the same time as Liaoning Hongyun are also promoted horses, and the relegation teams and the two teams that need to play the AFC Champions League play-offs are all in the middle of December.
This winter training, the Longteng team is divided into two stages, the first stage is from January 20th to February 5th, this period is mainly physical reserves and new tactics drills, after the Spring Festival four days off, the Longteng team will fly to Europe for the second phase of training, this time the main task is to have a warm-up match with the agreed partner clubs, with the game with these teams to verify Zhang Sheng's tactics.
By February 24, the Dragons will be flying back from abroad for the opening show of the 2016 season - the Super Cup match against the 2015 FA Cup champions Jiangsu Suning.
Finally, the team will have a recovery training session for the upcoming 2016 Chinese Super League season.
Like last season, now the winter training of domestic teams has become more scientific and systematic, on the plateau - Kunming, Hongta to train the team is less and less, to Hainan, Guangdong to train the club is more and more, as for the overseas training team, not to mention, is already tens of billions of sponsorship of the Chinese Super League team is now most of the millions.
Not to mention the relatively higher standard of facilities and environmental performance of overseas bases, the effect of winter training will be better. From the perspective of the players' psychology, overseas training and competitions can bring freshness and excitement to the players, and help stimulate the players' enthusiasm for training. However, due to the language barrier, it seems that it is not convenient for players who are in a foreign country to go out and indulge during breaks.
Moreover, overseas training can also accelerate the exchange and cooperation between domestic clubs and overseas, especially for clubs such as Longteng Team, Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG, which seek overseas layout, whether it is commercial or competitive, it will have a positive impact on the long-term development of the club.
Even more lively than the hot winter training is the current winter transfer of the Chinese Super League.
On the second day when the Longteng team began to assemble, Guangzhou Evergrande sold his meritorious striker, "Little Bear" Elkeson to Shanghai SIPG, as the top scorer of the Chinese Super League for two consecutive years, the super striker in the AFC Champions League, SIPG has long been envious, hoping that he can replicate the success of Guangzhou Evergrande with Conca.
At the same time, Guangzhou Evergrande also felt that Elkeson was not enough to help Evergrande to fight against the Longteng team last season, and the Evergrande club, which had just been successfully listed on the Spring Festival, also needed a more influential striker to make a name for itself, and the two Chinese Super League giants also hit it off, and finally Elkeson successfully transferred to Haigang for 15 million euros.
This transfer can not be described as a sensation, even the day before Guangzhou Evergrande transferred Zhao Xuri to the local tyrant Tian Jin Quanjian for 30 million.
These two transfers can be seen as Guangzhou Evergrande's new policy - the pursuit of more income to make the club's post-IPO statements look good, while also reducing their own bloated first-team personnel.
After the transfer at the end of the season, Tian Jin Quanjian began to exert his strength again, the entry of former internationals such as Zhao Xuri is just a piece of cake, and then the best newcomer in the 2014 season of the Brazilian league, the Brazilian demon star Geuvanho, who scored 10 goals and had 5 assists in the Brazilian league in the 2015 season, was included by them at a price of 30 million euros, which not only refreshed the transfer record of the Chinese league, but also refreshed the transfer value record of Chinese football.
If you add the previous five million euros from Corinthians' Judson, Quan Jian's investment has reached a staggering 380 million, which is really terrifying for a league at this level of the Chinese League.
However, Corinthians, who sold Judson next, were about to cry, because their defensive core Gil was bought by Shandong Luneng again, and the transfer fee this time also reached 10 million euros.
It can be said that as the champion of the Brazilian Liga last season, the two cores of the team - the MVP Augusto and the captain Ralph switched to Beijing Guoan, the league assist king Judson joined Tianjin Quanjian, the main central defender Gil went to Shandong Luneng, and the Brazilian international defender Elias also received offers from China, and Corinthians felt that their bodies were hollowed out.
Some Chinese fans joked - to see which Brazilian team dares to win the championship in the future, in the history of the 2016 season, Corinthians' results did decline very badly, and finally only won the eighth place.
For such a big purchase of the Chinese League and the Chinese Super League team, even Zhang Sheng, who has known the results for a long time, can't help but be speechless, and these non-stop blockbuster transfers have also become a hot topic of discussion among the players in the Longteng team.
Since the start of winter training, Longteng Club has recruited all the players on loan for next season's tactical drills, including Yan Xiaoyu, Ni Kai, Qu Wenming, Tang Jin, Huang He, and even Fernando, who was loaned to the new Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard.
Fernando's repossession was mainly in response to an extreme situation - the inability to buy the desired foreign player throughout the transfer period.
This is the situation that Zhang Sheng must prepare, the Longteng Club is not buying foreign aid now, it is not the same as Zhang Sheng's previous patting on the head, saying which player is easy to use, which player is cheap, which player we should buy at the stage, how to cooperate with Zhang Sheng's skills and tactics, how to meet the club's budget, considering that the club is still a listed company, but also to consider the reaction of the market, this is all things that must be taken into account.
Historically, Guangzhou Evergrande did not consider all aspects of the problem, resulting in a big loss.
After the end of the 2015 season, they made a smooth move to Elkeson, and it seemed that it took three years to recover the previous four times the transfer fee, but then in the introduction of new foreign aid, affected by the frenzied atmosphere of the introduction of foreign aid in the entire Chinese Super League, they did not make a good plan, but rushed to find the so-called European No. 1 agent Mendes and bought Jackson Martinez.
For Jackson Martinez to win the Portuguese Super League Golden Boot for three consecutive seasons, Guangzhou Evergrande paid 42 million euros, and everyone knows the result.
Later, Liu Yongzhuo's resignation, Guangzhou Evergrande's difficult championship, and the elimination of the AFC Champions League were not unrelated to the introduction of Jackson Martinez, and later even affected the stock price of Guangzhou Evergrande Club in the stock market.
Since the Dragons are going to decide to replace a core player like Pato, they must not be cautious and cautious, and sometimes it is better not to buy it than to buy it indiscriminately.
Of course, this is also the sequelae of the disappearance of the crossing welfare.
