Chapter 176 Don't look at ability but look at age

A few years later, there was a team that made so many gamblers around the world lose their pants, and it was AZ Alkmaar. In fact, this year marks the beginning of AZ Alkmaar's rise.

Head coach Adrianse is very good at developing young players, and when he was in charge of Ajax's youth team in 1992, he produced the Ajax 95 generation that would later be amazing, such as Kluivert, Seedorf, Davies, Litmanen, Van der Sar, Reziger, Fiindy Georges, ...... all of them.

It's just that AZ Alkmaar is a small team, and there are not so many human resources for Adrianse to let go of his hands and feet, and the AZ Alkmaar team he led to the Victor Stadium is a somewhat aging team, and the average age of the main squad is almost 30.

Madiburg are a team that is too young to talk to, especially in the UEFA Cup.

Before the game, in order to arrange the starting lineup, Klopp was very troubled, because it involved the team's competitive goals and objectives - having played the round of 32 knockout rounds, what should Madiburg do?

Is it the same as the previous plan, mainly to train young substitutes, or to try to go further with the main force?

Finally, at the club's small internal meeting, a plan was made to maintain the competitive plan for the first half of the season - continue to focus on training young players! There are two reasons for this decision. First of all, the fact that the team has come so far in the UEFA Cup is the result of the hard work of the young players, and it is also a reward to continue to trust them; Secondly, because Madiburg's young players are not weak, they are also very competitive in the UEFA Cup.

Captain Zhuo Yang is a strong supporter of this policy and will continue to push for the UEFA Cup.

Klopp is more or less crazy for some people, and they either don't do it, or they do it. Since it is said that young players are used, then it is not based on ability, but only on age, and who is younger in the bench.

The team's three youngest youngsters, Pompon Luis, Reham Hamsik and Khedira, naturally couldn't run away, with 19-year-old Debich, Vermaelen and Barnetta also on the field, followed by 20-year-old Ibisevic and 21-year-old Schaefer and Handanovic.

At 21 years and six months, Westerman is six days older than Bacchus Zhirkov, but someone has to play at right-back, right? Including the 19-and-a-half-year-old Zhuo Yang, Westerman is the oldest man in the starting lineup.

AZ Alkmaar's youngest player on the pitch was their right-back, 25-year-old Jan Kronkamp.

In addition to the oldest Iliye in the team, the other two strikers Musketeer Gomez and Egyptian Hassan Middo are also not very old, one is 19 and one 22, and their personal strength is significantly stronger than the first two.

The lack of priority was given to them because of the selfishness of the Madiburg club.

Gomez and Mido are both players on loan, and the ownership does not belong to Madiburg, no matter how well they are trained, they will be other people's children in the future, so it is better to give their own family more opportunities.

Mido's time has only been short, and within a few days, Gomez has already made Madiburg his home. The relationship with Hannover 96 for almost ten years is completely no match for the ups and downs in Madiburg in the past six months, and Madibourg Club also proposed a transfer transaction intention to Hannover 96 again during the winter break.

After this half-season of slump, Hannover 96 also know that it is not a big deal to return to the first division in the short term, and the club has begun to plan to take root in the Bundesliga to rebuild the team, and strive to make a comeback. While the young Gomez is the best building block for a rebuild, it is unrealistic to return the blazing Bundesliga's top scorer to the second division. And if you really want to keep holding on to it like this, you won't be able to leave half of the contract after the expiration of the next two and a half years.

Therefore, Hannover 96 Club is no longer stubborn and agrees to put Mario Gomez in the transfer market. But in the past six months, the musketeers have been too ostentatious, and the original market valuation of about 5 million has directly made Hanover 96 shout a sky-high price of 25 million after half a season, is it poor and crazy?

If Gomez's people can't be the cornerstone of reconstruction, then let people become money, and let money be the cornerstone.

The highest record of internal transactions in German football is 28.5 million when Piggy Schweinsteiger transferred to Bayern Munich last summer, but that is Bayern who is never bad for money, not to mention that the commercial value of Piggy has been touted by the fat Raiola, which is currently incomparable to Gomez. In these 28.5 million miles, Adidas and Volkswagen bear a considerable part of the cost, which is included in the purchase cost of Bayern as advertising sponsorship.

Today's German football is still quite sensible, more than 5 million is already considered a big deal, and 25 million is simply not affordable by most clubs. Therefore, this high price is for Madibao, and everyone knows that Madibao sold the Five Musketeers and became a local tyrant.

But in fact, after Madiburg used that money to build a large number of buildings, almost all of them became various institutions, equipment echelons and talents, and there was not much left, and it was possible to become one of the healthiest and most sound clubs in Germany in a very short time, and that was all about making real money. Even if there are still some left, it can't all be spent on Gomez alone, and we can't live in the future? So, this matter just hung in the air, pulling each other from time to time.

In this matter, Madiburg FC has taken a holistic view. Gomez is a good player and a good fit for the team's tactics, especially as he is a native of Hannover, and has played a key role in gaining fans for Madiburg. But even so, Madiburg does not intend to set a precedent for buying players at a high price, which is inconsistent with the club's long-term business strategy and cannot give the outside world the impression that he has been wronged.

During the winter break, Madiburg's scouting department took a fancy to an 18-year-old mediocre substitute midfielder from Bosnia-Herzegovina Jonikal, who didn't even have a formal contract, but Madiburg was very particular about what was going on out of industry rules, and he made a purchase motion. Who knew that as soon as the opposing club heard that it was the sharp-eyed Madiburg, it directly called out 2.5 million euros in the original 200,000 euro deal, and coerced and lured the players to sign a formal contract immediately.

As soon as Madiburg saw it, he no longer talked about the rules, and paid 70,000 euros to the player's family, and directly brought the person back to Hannover. Zeyonikar glared at him and threatened to sue Madiburg in UEFA.

Go~!

It is a small club with Bayern Munich than Madiburg, but in front of Zeyonnikal, Madiburg is a predator who regrets not moving.

Now, Dzeko is being transformed into an efficient striker in coach Carlisle's Under-19 squad.

There are many examples like this, so Madiburg must not let anyone else slaughter the players, otherwise once they leave the image of Kaizi in football, any player will be much more expensive than other clubs in the future, like Chelsea in the Premier League. But Chelsea is willing to be the wronged leader, Abuna is really rich, compared with the rich Russian man, Angus Malen is a begging person.
