Playing football in Europe for so many years, coupled with the success in recent years, Yang Yang's circle of friends can be said to be all over the major European leagues.

From the Eredivisie to the Premier League to La Liga, from the national football associations to UEFA, he knows some friends, and even Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are known as sworn enemies by the outside world, Yang Yang has many friends, such as Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, and even Pique.

But there are not many people who can be called good friends.

Ibrahimovic, Sneijder, McConn, Maxwell, Vermaelen and others are all well-known friends of Yang Yang, and they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are all from Ajax and met in Weimo, which brings them unimaginable friendships from the outside world.

In addition, Liverpool's Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Marcelo, Robben in the Real Madrid team, and AC Milan's Kaka are all friends of Yang Yang.

Therefore, when Baldano said that he wanted to introduce Yang Yang's friends, not to mention others, even Yang Yang himself was a little surprised, who did Real Madrid fall in love with?

"Luis Suarez of Liverpool!" Baldano was quick to reveal the answer.

Everyone was surprised, this name is not unfamiliar, but is he friends with Yang Yang?

After Yang Yang heard the name, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, this is really barely true.

"You have a relationship with him?" Ramos asked in surprise.

In the eyes of everyone in the Real Madrid locker room, Yang Yang is a very pure professional player, and he is also an otaku, who practices hard day and night on weekdays, and in other people's ridicule of him, except for a special relationship, he can almost do anything with football.

But now a friend suddenly appeared, which was really surprising.

"I guess so." Yang Yang smiled bitterly and nodded, "I used to go back to Ajax often, he played in Ajax, and he happened to live on the same street as me before, so I knew each other, left personal contact information, and I have been in contact over the years, he often asks me some questions, and I try to help him, and I ...... when I come and go."

Speaking of which, knowing Suarez, it was through Wu Lei, Yang Yang was very concerned about Wu Lei's situation in Ajax at that time, and Suarez also kept in touch with Fermaelen.

As soon as Yang Yang explained this, everyone suddenly realized.

Everyone knows what kind of status Ajax has in Yang Yang's mind, and Suarez is from Ajax, so it is not surprising that he knows Yang Yang.

"Jorge, are you sure we want to bring him in?" Yang Yang suddenly asked curiously.

Liverpool's Champions League record in recent years is not very good, but it has performed very well in the Premier League, the combination of Suarez and Gareth Bale shines, which can be described as out of the limelight, but it is Gareth Bale who really attracts the attention of the outside world, and everyone believes that the Welsh talent is Liverpool's number one star and Liverpool's strongest player after Yang Yang.

You must know that Gareth Bale came to Liverpool with the title of Yang Yang II.

"We've definitely learned more about it." Baldano smiled and nodded.

Many people analyze the success of Real Madrid in the past few years, and believe that it is important to modernize the club's management mechanism, and Baldano's role as technical director has also been talked about by many people, and even caused many teams to follow suit.

The position of Technical Director is not unusual in itself, and what makes him truly valuable is that he is the nexus between the head coach and the management.

Many fans probably don't know, in fact, in European football, in a club, the head coach is the most high-risk profession, more dangerous than players or anything, to a certain extent, frequent changes of coaches are the norm, similar to Ferguson and Wenger, which is a rare exception.

Then the question arises, the Chinese have an old saying, once a son of heaven is a courtier.

As the name suggests, every manager will have his own set of playing styles, some types of players he likes, if he was a manager like Mourinho last season, and a manager like Pep Guardiola in the new season, can the team adapt? Is it necessary to reorganize and purge every season?

No team can afford such a toss, but changing coaches is the norm, what to do?

This requires a mature and stable mechanism to ensure that the risk of changing coaches is minimized, that is, to bring in a manager with a similar style to minimize internal friction and toss-up.

In addition to the head coach, the same goes for the transfer and turnover of players.

To some extent, the technical director is responsible for the overall situation, no matter what the situation of the team, he must have a stable set of preparations, for example, Ancelotti is out of class now, Baldano must come up with a set of shortlists for the management to choose from, and it must be in line with the current situation of Real Madrid.

In the same way, the same goes for the players, no matter who is leaving, Baldano and the technical team have to have a plan in place.

In addition to this, the technical director is also responsible for the long-term planning of the team's technical and tactical planning, and must also control the overall strategy of the team.

What does that mean?

Because the head coach is the most risky position, many times, the head coach has to take some short-sighted approach, which can see results in the short term, but it may not be beneficial to the team in the medium and long term, which requires the technical director to be responsible for controlling and avoiding the disadvantages.

This again involves transfers.

Many times, outside fans always feel that if you transfer, you should listen to the head coach, you can buy whoever he likes, you buy what he doesn't like, he doesn't use it well or even don't use it, isn't that making trouble for yourself?

But herein lies the problem, transfers need to be negotiated, money is needed, and who can guarantee that the manager will not be selfish or make mistakes?

To take the simplest example, in the summer of '09, Mourinho was in charge of Inter Milan, and the central defender he wanted at that time was Chelsea's Carvalho, but Inter Milan gave him Bayern Munich's Lucio, the former worth more than 15 million euros, while the latter was 8 million euros.

Mourinho was quite unhappy with this at the time, believing that the management did not cooperate with him to bring in reinforcements, but the subsequent results proved that Lucio's transfer was not only successful, but also extremely cost-effective.

Of course, no one knows if the Nerazzurri would have succeeded if Carvalho had arrived at Inter Milan, but one thing is for sure, no club will hand over all the transfer power to the manager, including Manchester United's Alex Ferguson and Arsenal's Arsene Wenger.

A transfer, even if it's a multimillion-euro transfer, is wide-ranging.

The simplest comparison, in real life, will any company sign a business of tens of millions of dollars?

Therefore, there needs to be a professional person in charge, which is the technical director.

Of course, it is very beautiful in theory, but in reality, because of various problems in the internal management of the club, the profession of technical director is always mixed, with successes and failures.

However, after Florentino modernized the management system of Real Madrid, as technical director, Baldano and his technical team played an important role in the following years, and the recruitment was more targeted.

And Real Madrid and Barcelona have a common characteristic, that is, they both have a player who cannot be replaced, Yang Yang and Messi.

Everyone knows very well that if Real Madrid loses Yang Yang and Barcelona loses Messi, the two teams will inevitably fall into turmoil, because no one can replace their role, especially Yang Yang.

When Yang Yang was there, Robben, Di Maria, Hazard, David Silva, Modric and others obeyed him, but once Yang Yang left the team, who would be the boss?

Brought in from the outside? Is it necessary to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo? Do the other players serve him?

You know, this is a team that has won the Champions League three times in a row, what achievements does Cristiano Ronaldo have in Manchester United that can make him the leader as soon as he joins the team?

Therefore, no matter how Real Madrid and Barcelona reorganize and how they bring in reinforcements, they will only build teams around Yang Yang and Messi.

In a way, this is the Yang Yang team against the Messi team.

When Yang Yang was in a very bad mood after losing to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid was worried for a long time, up to Florentino, down to the coaching staff, all of them were enlightening him, afraid that he would be unhappy.

And now, Yang Yang's friend is also a reference for Real Madrid's recruitment.

…………

…………

'Suarez scored good goals in the Eredivisie, but he was not very efficient in practice, which led to his unimpressive performance when he first arrived in the Premier League, and was even questioned at one point, but his dribbling ability and his desire to win is very strong, which makes Liverpool continue to trust him.

"In the past two years, he has slowly developed it, as a striker, his passing, vision, shooting ability, heading, physical confrontation...... At the age of 26, we all believe that he is about to reach the prime of his career, and he has a strong sense of cooperation. ”

Baldano explained why Real Madrid took a fancy to Suarez, apparently not wanting to be misunderstood, thinking that the reason why the technical team included Suarez as a transfer candidate was because of Yang Yang.

Although this is a reference, it is clear that the quality of the players themselves is what matters.

All teams like to bring in this kind of player between mature and rookie, young and energetic, and at the same time have ideas and goals, and the risk is not too big, the cost performance is relatively stronger, even if it is not played, polish it for a year or two and then sell it, Real Madrid will not lose.

For example, Herrera, Di Maria and Azpilicueta, the value of these three players has risen a lot compared to when they joined, which is due to the performance of the players themselves, but why not have the aura of Real Madrid's platform?

In today's European football, famous stars, especially attackers, are tens of millions of euros at every turn, which is too sought-after.

And the most important thing is that there are too many local tyrants, not only the overall purchasing power of the Premier League has increased, but there is more than Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, and there is another Monaco, as well as local tyrants from Turkey, Ukraine and Russia.

All in all, in the current European football, good players are too sought-after, and their value is naturally rising.
