The celebrations at Millwall lasted two days before the excitement subsided and the club declared an official holiday.

The players are enjoying their holidays.

In Millwall's coaching staff, Frederick and Aldous have also gone on vacation, but Zhang Yang still has to stay with the team to deal with the summer transfer issues, but fortunately, Dennis Wise is still behind to handle the transfer work with him.

Before playing against Liverpool, for a long time, Zhang Yang had already planned.

According to his suggestion, the club has also done a lot of preliminary preparations for the transfer, such as contacting the target players in advance, contacting them and then going to in-depth discussions about transfers, and for example, listing the players in the team that they don't need in advance.

Although the season has just ended, some players have already found a home, such as striker Neil Harris, who has been confirmed to go to Nottingham Forest, Harris is old, his form has declined a lot, and he can no longer adapt to the Premier League game, go to a lower league team, play for two seasons and be ready to retire.

Millwall and Gillingham briefly negotiated a transfer fee of £300,000 for Neil Harris.

It's a low price, but it's not bad.

For example, veterans who can't play in general, the club plans to terminate the contract directly and let them leave on a free transfer, and it is quite okay to have a transfer fee.

Barry Cogan, Tim Clancy and other young players, the club will not let them leave, young players are potential, no one can say in the future, the team's consideration is to loan them out, but if they offer to leave, as long as there is an acceptable transfer fee, the club will not prevent it.

This is the tone set by Zhang Yang.

Millwall is not what it used to be, if it was last season's economic situation, young players would definitely have to be grasped in their hands, and if they can play in the future, it is the property of the club, but now it is different, the team's goal is to compete for the league position and work hard to play well in the Champions League, such a top goal, young players who play unstable performances and do not have much potential will not have much value, and the team will not be able to provide them with resources for growth, even if it is an unimportant event, there are many who can play, and it will definitely not be their turn, They can only stay on loan unless one day they can really make a name for themselves and give the club a new lease of value.

This is the harsh reality of professional football.

In addition to the above players, there is also Rudy Clarke, whose contract expires and will leave on a free transfer, Danny Dichio and Peter Sveley are listed for sale, but there are no interested buyers so far, and the club's biggest selling players are Joey Healy and Marvin Elliott.

Joey Healy was the main player at the beginning of the season, but his performance could only be regarded as 'no mistakes', and his individual ability was still a little poor, and he basically lost his position in the latter part of the season.

However, Joey Healy's performance still won a lot of recognition, and when he was listed, Queens Park Rangers came to inquire about the price, and the offer of 1.5 million pounds was neither too much nor too little, and it is worth congratulating that he would definitely get a bigger contract when he arrived at Queens Park Rangers.

Negotiations between the two sides have already begun.

Elliott is the most valuable, he has performed quite well, he has scored two goals in 23 appearances for the club, and is a very strong midfielder, but with the excellent performance of Smitchell and Livermore, it is difficult for Elliott to have a position, but the quality and solid back are definitely sought-after in the transfer market.

When Elliott was rumored to be leaving, there were three clubs enquiring in just one day, and the transfer offer reached a maximum of £4 million.

These are all transfer-outs.

Millwall are going to play in the Champions League next season, and strengthening the squad and bench depth are a must, and the team is mainly adding personnel in the transfer market.

Zhang Yang knows what needs to be added: the wings and the back.

There is no shortage of people up front, with Darren Bent and Braniff, it's almost enough, Josh Simpson can also play forward, Jamie Vardy is growing fast and will definitely be able to play more games for the team next season, in addition to the young Curtis Weston, Weston still has some potential and can help the team make a few appearances.

Even if the forward line needs to be supplemented, it does not need too strong stars.

Wings were a big problem, with full-backs becoming a scarce resource, and by the end of the season, Zhang Yang had to make a cameo for Braniff, and Josh Simpson was even worse, and Simpson's defensive ability was a big problem.

Zhang Yang has decided to let Simpson change positions next season, probably he will be a flexible frontcourt player, and he can make cameos in every position, but poor defensive ability is also a big problem, and how to use Simpson still needs to think carefully.

Even if Braniff and Simpson are both qualified, there is still a shortage of people on the wing, and when one of the two is unavailable, Zhang Yang has to let Konchesky and Smitchell make cameos.

It's definitely not okay to always make cameos with players.

The wings, especially the full-backs, are something that must be added.

In addition, the backline, central defenders and two wings must also be added, the team cannot always rely on the main players to play, Koncheski is a good player, but he can't play all the time, the main central defender Darren Ward, has become the player with the most appearances in the team, including the league, FA Cup, League Cup, Darren Ward has played 41 times, only because of a brief injury, missed a few games, enough to see how short the back line is.

Media reports on Millwall players have described Darren Ward as an 'iron man', with Darren Ward making fewer appearances than Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and ranking second among all players among the 20 Premier League teams.

Darren Ward's back-to-back appearances are also beneficial, first of all, his fame has increased dramatically, and many fans know, "Darren Ward is an indispensable player for Millwall. ”

It's dictated by the playing time.

In addition, Darren Ward's performances have been recognised, the kind of player that any team wants, and for several days there have been clubs asking Millwall if they would consider selling Darren Ward, who is not too well-known defender, but who has also made an offer of more than four million pounds, which can be compared to the excellent frontfield that has been reported.

But in any case, the back line also needs to be added.

Darren Ward is in good health, and the long games have not affected his form, but a season is long, and no one dares to guarantee anything.

It's the same with full-backs.

The two full-backs, without Darren Ward-style 'iron men', and the departure of young players one by one, will definitely bring in personnel reinforcements.

Millwall's transfer fee is sufficient, Zhang Yang has also raised his goals, and he has begun to focus on world football, and the first thing he noticed is Real Madrid's academy talent Arbeloa.

Born in the Real Madrid Academy, Arbeloa was once the captain of Real Madrid's second team and can play in a number of positions in the back line, but unfortunately, even if he has the ability to play in any position in the back line, it will not earn him a place in Real Madrid's first team.

Real Madrid is interested in selling Arbeloa, Zhang Yang noticed Abeloa's name, remembering that he will return to Real Madrid in the future, and he must have made some fame.

So Arbeloa became Millwall's first target.

Millwall have contacted Real Madrid with a transfer offer of €3 million, and talks have been held for a possible transfer for Arbeloa.

Arbeloa can only be regarded as a good addition, a fringe player for Real Madrid, who has a future but is still full of uncertainty.

Zhang Yang is more interested in Mascherano, one of Argentina's 'twin stars'.

At just 22 years old, Mascherano has already made a name for himself, having made 21 appearances for River Plate in the Argentine Primera Division in 2003-2004 and 25 appearances for River Plate in the Primera A in 2004-2005, helping River Plate reach the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores for the second consecutive season.

Last summer, Mascherano moved from River Plate to Corinthians, Brazil, for $15 million.

Mascherano's bad luck was due to a broken left leg that cost him seven appearances for Brazil's Corinthians, before returning from injury in February and making 11 consecutive appearances for Corinthians in the Brazilian Primera Division.

Mascherano is doing well, but his performance is full of uncertainty due to six months of injury, and the economic company behind him wants him to land in the Europa League.

Many European teams are interested in Mascherano, but few really dare to make a move, or because Mascherano has been injured for half a year, and Mascherano's value is not low, as the same as Tevez'Argentine twin stars', if you want to buy Mascherano, you must prepare at least more than 15 million US dollars, and Brazilian Corinthians will not make a loss-making deal.

Zhang Yang did not hesitate to let the club shoot.

Now the club has sent someone to negotiate with the Brazilian club Corinthians and the economic company behind Mascherano to bring Mascherano to Millwall.

It's a big deal for sure.

On the decision to shoot Mascherano, Wilkinson also came to ask, "Are you sure you want him?" But he had an injury for half a year before, and the Premier League is no ...... than other leagues."

Wilkinson was referring to the adversarial nature of the Premier League.

Many South American players land in Europe, the first choice will be Portugal or Spain, the Portuguese Super League and La Liga will make it easy for South American players to adapt, other leagues are different, the Premier League is the most confrontational among them, and the average South American player is not easy to adapt.

Zhang Yang affirmed, "I've been paying attention to this player for a while, and he's definitely fine. ”

"Okay."

In the end, Wilkinson didn't say anything, and he knew he shouldn't have to question it.

Zhang Yang understands Wilkinson, such a large amount of money to buy players, must be cautious, if it is only a million-pound transfer, he will not ask at all, tens of millions is a bit too much, especially to buy an uncertain South American player.

Zhang Yang is very confident.

In the memory of his previous life, Mascherano would go to Liverpool and Barcelona, and he would be very successful, and his fame would grow.

Mascherano can adapt to Liverpool, which is equivalent to being able to adapt to the Premier League, and there is certainly no problem in joining Millwall, such a player who will be famous in the future, it is definitely very good value to buy now, and the direct effect is that Mascherano will make the team's defense much more stable, and he will definitely do better than Elliott.

After that, Zhang Yang submitted several lists for the club to try to operate, and there were big-name players on the list, as well as lesser-known players, among which the biggest name was Joaquin.

Joaquín is the absolute main winger for Real Betis.

After the end of this season, Real Betis must sell famous stars if they want to ensure the club's finances, and Joaquín is on the list, he is quite a famous player, and the value of a Spanish international will definitely not be low.

Also, it's worth mentioning Glenn Johnson.

Glen Johnson is a Chelsea player, and it was rumored that he was leaving in the middle of the season, and Mourinho has lost patience with him, but whether Chelsea will choose to sell the player to Millwall is still difficult to say.

The next thing is to wait.

Zhang Yang is not only waiting for the effect of the club's transfer, but also waiting for the outcome of a major event - the trial of Italy's 'phonegate'.

The impact of Italy's 'phonegate' is very large, and now the incident has been fermented very strongly, and Juventus officially issued a statement announcing the collective resignation of the Juventus board of directors.

After that, the problem referee DeSantis was disqualified from officiating the World Cup.

The investigation has been fully rolled out, with media reports that many teams, including AC Milan and Fiorentina, are suspected of faking games, Buffon is also involved in a gambling scandal, and the chairman of the Italian referees committee, Ranesse, has also been dismissed.

On the day of the FA Cup, the Italian Olympic Committee appointed Rossi as interim trustee of the Football Association.

It's not over yet.

The next one or two months are key, many famous football players in Italy will be included in the list, even AC Milan will suffer a heavy blow, of course, for fans, there is not much interest in the removal of such and such an official.

Zhang Yang knew that the result was that AC Milan was penalized and Juventus was forced to be relegated.

It was also the beginning of Inter's rise.

Zhang Yang's focus is on Juventus, after Juventus was forced to be relegated, many outstanding players chose to leave, which was also a feast for the giants to divide Juventus, and Zhang Yang was also waiting for the opportunity to participate in the feast.

Juventus have a lot of good players, such as Ibrahimovic, Cannavaro, Emerson, Nedved, Thuram, Gianluigi Buffon, Trezeguet, Piero, Camoranesi and many more.

As long as these players can win one, it is equivalent to making a lot of money, compared to the big teams, Millwall is unattractive, but it is important to prepare in advance, what if there is a chance?
