"What? Zidane is leaving?"

The morning after beating Real Madrid, Gao Han was surprised to hear Cantarero's report in his office.

He had no idea about it, and no one had informed him.

"What's going on?" Gao Han asked with concern as he looked at Armando Marcos and Cantarero sitting in front of him.

Of course, he will not doubt his two right-hand men, and Zidane's departure from the team is certainly not due to internal contradictions.

"He told me about this not long ago, and he felt too tired. ”

Cantarero's words silenced Gao Han.

The head coach is indeed quite a tiring job, not just anyone can afford it, especially like Zidane, who is in charge of Chinatown and successfully defends the Champions League title, becoming the target of public criticism, and the pressure is greater than that of other teams.

"In recent years, the tactical upgrade in European football has also been obvious, many of our games have not been easy, and the counter-attacking tactics of many big teams have become more and more difficult for us to deal with, and Zidane has often lost sleep for this. ”

Chinatown's results this season are indeed very impressive, the strong dialogue in the league ended with a complete victory, the Champions League is also a breakthrough, the Copa del Rey reached the final, the opponent is Sevilla, the possibility of winning the championship is still very high.

But behind this brilliant report card, it is Zidane and the coaching staff who rack their brains and work day and night.

Gao Han can completely imagine how much Zidane has paid for this.

"Is that just because of that?" Gao Han asked again, vaguely sensing something.

"Of course not. Cantarero nodded, "Makelele is going out to coach alone, there are many Ligue 1 teams who have invited him to come over and leave after this season, Real Madrid's Florentino has been pursuing Zidane, Zidane can't bear it, but he said that he intends to take a year off." ”

Taking a break for a year is a buffer, and it is only natural to return to take over Real Madrid after a year.

After hiring Ancelotti to coach, although the Galaxy Battleship has invested heavily in reinforcements, the results have not improved much, Florentino is not very satisfied with Ancelotti, which is also normal, and inviting Zidane to return to the Bernabeu to coach is the best choice from any point of view.

As for Zinedine Zidane, he is a man who misses his old love, and it is certainly not surprising that he will not want to see Florentino's position in the presidency lose his position and return to the Bernabeu to repay Florentino's kindness.

"Originally, I was going to discuss it with you, but at that time, the Chinese national team you coached was facing a big competition, and I thought I could handle it, so I didn't tell you, so as not to distract you. Cantarero explained.

This is very much in line with Cantarero's style, he has always been the one who knows the cold best.

After coaching this season, Zidane is leaving, and there is no reason for Gao Han and Chinatown to stay.

After three years in charge of Chinatown, it is normal for Zidane to leave the team at this time.

"In addition to the change of coaching staff, we probably need to go through a reshuffle as well. Cantarero said with a solemn face.

Gao Han frowned, "What do you say?"

"As I said earlier, in the past period of time, we have become the target of European football, it has been too successful, it has been too dazzling, the main thing is that our overall strength is really stronger than other big teams, coupled with the tactical system that we have inherited over the years, which has created our strong competitiveness. ”

At present, this group of players in the China City team are selected and introduced by Gao Han one by one, each of which has been examined by a keen eye, and it is not an exaggeration to say that with the current set of lineup configuration in China Town, it is the most luxurious and top in European football.

"In the past three years, Zidane has been the big man in the dressing room, and the way he gets along with the players is to take the lead, and he always stands up for the players, and the players also obey him, but now he is leaving, unless we invite the top coaches, otherwise, no matter who takes over, I'm afraid it won't go very well. ”

"What's more, we must be soberly aware that since the beginning of this season, there have been some signs in the team, many players have begun to slack, and now the team has to attack the La Liga championship, this situation is not obvious, but once you win the La Liga championship, the result will be ......"

There will be lows after the peaks, and players can't stay hungry for victory forever, it's human nature.

So there is a need for transfers, a need for metabolism, and an injection of fresh blood to stimulate the internal competition of the team.

Chinatown has always done a good job in this regard, but the restructuring that Cantarero is talking about this time is obviously going bigger.

"Not only that, but the salary structure of our team is also under great pressure, the salaries of the players outside are rising, and many of the big teams are offering more attractive annual salaries than us, so we can't meet the salary increase of all the players, and it is impossible to keep so many people. ”

At the end of the day, the transfer market in European football has been crazy for the past two or three years.

Needless to say, the value of players has skyrocketed, and the most terrifying thing is that the annual salary has also kept rising.

After Neymar switched to Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, in addition to winning a record transfer fee, his annual salary also reached 20 million euros, but it is reported that he has only been in the company for a year, and he is going to raise his salary again, this time at least 30 million euros.

Messi is also going to rise again, his current contract is 23 million euros, but it will rise to 40 million euros in one go, which will surpass Cristiano Ronaldo and become the highest-paid player in the world.

Hazard previously renewed his contract for 10 million euros, but after helping Chinatown successfully defend the Champions League, Hazard won the first of his career in January and the first FIFA Ballon d'Or in the history of Chinatown.

In addition to Eden Hazard, there are other players in the team who are also starting to renew their contracts, such as Pogba, who has performed very well this season, and it has been rumored that a big team is willing to offer him an annual salary of 15 million euros, which is impossible for Chinatown to take.

"Armando, what do you think?" Gao Han looked at Armando Marcos.

The general manager of Chinatown is also bitter, he is well aware of the contribution and role of the superstars to the team, but he is also very aware that endless salary increases will put a heavy burden on the team.

The transfer fee is just a one-shot deal, but the annual salary is a long-term pressure.

"In the past few years, the global economic recession, the major economies have started quantitative easing, and all kinds of hot money insurance money have poured into European football, resulting in a very obvious bubble in the transfer market, but I don't think this situation is benign and sustainable. ”

Gao Han understood what Armando Marcos meant.

There's a saying that you don't know who's swimming naked until the tide is low.

It's high tide, the situation is good, and no one will have the slightest sense of crisis.

"I think the strength of the restructuring depends on the confidence of the technical department in the depth of our bench, and we need to take a good look at the gains and losses. ”

Armando Marcos's remarks are very appropriate for his position, and also remind Gao Han that the bench players in the team are not bad.

Jesse, Jesus, Anthony Martial, Dembele, Mbappe, Kingsley Koeman, Kovacic, Asensio, Ceballos, Bellerin...... There are also four players from China, Yang Xin, Zhao Jun, Wang Lei and Gao Ren.

As long as they are given enough opportunities to exercise, within three years, this group of players will become great and will definitely be able to support the world of Chinatown.

What's more, after the active campaigning of the high cold, Spain and China have basically negotiated, and Chinese players will no longer occupy foreign aid places when they enter the Spanish league in the future.

Reorganizing the team lineup and selling a group of stars can not only get a large amount of transfer income, but also greatly reduce the team's salary, and leave more opportunities for the young players in the team, and no one knows the potential of this group of young players in the team better than Gao Han.

In terms of gains and losses, is it worth it to earn hundreds of millions in three years?

"Zidane is leaving, is there a suitable candidate?" Gao Han looked back at Cantarero.

The technical director nodded slightly, "Of course, the most suitable is Pep Guardiola, but he is at Manchester City, and it is impossible for him to leave in a short time, and I have a good candidate, but he lacks the experience of coaching a first-team team." ”

"Who?" asked Gao Han with concern.

"Valverde. ”

Gao Han suddenly realized and couldn't help nodding.

Valverde is the current head coach of Athletic Bilbao and has a rich coaching resume, having coached Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol, Olympiacos, Villarreal, Valencia, and the last three years in charge of Athletic Bilbao.

And everyone knows that managers who coach Athletic Bilbao tend to be good at developing young players.

Now it seems that Cantarero's technical team has a high opinion of Valverde.

"Our managers often don't have any experience in coaching big teams. Gao Han smiled faintly.

There are two different sets of team models that are generally popular in European football, one is based on theory, and the other is based on resources, the former is mainly to have a mature technical and tactical style, and then invest and recruit around this style, the most typical is Barcelona, while the latter is not a fixed style, and even different managers may bring different styles, mainly to collect the world's most dazzling stars, polishing the world's best teams.

It is difficult to say the advantages and disadvantages of these two team models, focusing on theory, focusing on the same line, the investment is relatively small, and the risk is relatively small, but it is easy to rest on its laurels, but it is easy to rest on its laurels, but it is mainly based on resource investment, the style changes too much, the investment is also large, and the risk is very high.

Chinatown has always followed the theory-based, after all, it is a team with youth training as the core, but Chinatown is not built with a certain tactical style or around a certain head coach as the core, but more with the technical team led by Gao Han and Cantarero as the core.

For example, in the past few years, the technical team has been studying the technical and tactical evolution of Chinatown and the development trend of European football, and providing theoretical guidance for the coaching staff and youth echelon, and now Zidane is leaving, the team is going to reorganize, the technical team has to deduce the technical and tactical development trend in the next few years, determine the list of players who will stay and leave, and choose the right head coach according to the technical and tactical style.

So, in theory, it doesn't matter if the manager doesn't have much experience, because Chinatown has a whole mature team.

Zinedine Zidane took over Chinatown as a rookie coach and was very successful in his first season, which is where this comes from.

Gao Han still has a deep impression of Valverde, he was considered when he was selected three years ago, the defense is dominated by high pressing, the attack pays attention to width and response, is very good at making a fuss about the impact of the ribs, and the rhythm is more fast and concise.

It should be said that Valverde's coaching characteristics are very much in line with the requirements of Chinatown.

"I'll talk to him when I get the chance. ”
