In modern football, football is a competitive sport and a commercial activity, which is vividly demonstrated in club competitions. Rich teams can recruit all kinds of talent, and even some of the players they feel they don't need will still be extremely good superstars in the eyes of other teams, and they are still worth coaxing.

Bayern decided Gustavo was useless and sold him to Wolfsburg, but for Wolfsburg, his transfer was still a treasure, which is a classic example. Compared with Bayern, Chelsea's strength and honor may not be as good, but in the matter of money to burn bags, it is definitely more than a step ahead. Bayern are not poor, but that is only compared to the Bundesliga teams, but compared to Chelsea's ability to waste money, they can only bow to the advantage. Especially when it comes to selling players, Chelsea definitely want to be strong.

Their strength is naturally due to the fact that they have enough capital: since Abu invested in Chelsea, he has always wanted to build Chelsea into an all-round giant, so in addition to introducing many current stars, the recruitment of young players has never been slackened over the years.

In the past few years, Abu's investment in youth training can be described as quite terrible, in the early years, the tens of millions of Sturridge, Kakuta, Sinclair and others were omitted, even in the past few years, they have not lacked De Brané, Piason, Lukaku, Courtois and a series of young players who spent more than 5 million, or even more than 10 million. Abou is hell-bent on building the best Chelsea can be, and in addition to the senior squad, he also wants to produce enough young stars, and he has never given up on that effort.

On the issue of investment. Abu has enough capital to despise all the Premier League owners except Abu Dhabi, but his efforts in the past two years can only seem to be embarrassing. Chelsea have brought in a lot of good players, but few of them have stayed at Chelsea. Although they have produced a lot of talent, most of them have gone to other teams. Not playing for Chelsea. Chelsea have worked hard for many years, but have received little but a nickname for a taxi, and they have a lot of good players, but they have never been able to contribute to the team.

Such a result is actually not unexpected. Chelsea have always been a team with high demands on results, and the frequent changes in their upper management have kept management in turmoil. These unfavourable factors are arguably the most important reason why Chelsea have never been able to produce talent.

Such a team is not conducive to the development of young players: the coaches here basically treat themselves as workers, they don't think about the long-term development of the team, and as long as they produce results, they are satisfied not to be fired. And in order to produce results, they naturally do not give young people room to grow. Players are naturally not satisfied with sitting on the bench after they grow up, and the coach refuses to give them a chance to play for the sake of results, and there is a fundamental contradiction between the two sides on the issue of who should play. It's simply irreconcilable. So Chelsea can only watch as these players slip away.

Also a Premier League team, look at Ferguson's use of the youngsters. Looking at Arsene Wenger's patience with young people, Chelsea, who have more stars in the youth team, have never been able to produce good players, which has nothing to do with their management.

It is precisely because of this that Chelsea always have some good players on the sales list when they sell players, and even Wolfsburg, who have already suffered a big loss by bringing Marin to them. When I saw that they were selling players again, I still couldn't help but be moved. Thinking about De Bruyne's performance during his time at Bremen, and looking at the current situation where his team really needs to bring in talent, after repeated ideological battles, Wolfsburg finally chose to make an offer to Chelsea. Tried to buy De Bruyne.

And this time, the answer they got was surprisingly fast.

Unlike the last time we bought Marin, we talked for a long time, and this time when Wolfsburg expressed their intention to buy, Chelsea Football Club immediately agreed, just like last time. At the same time, De Bruyne also contacted the team immediately, saying that he hopes to start training with the team as soon as possible to adapt to future games.

For this transfer, neither the team nor the players have the slightest hesitation, and this transaction seems to be something they have been looking forward to for a long time. The decisiveness and quick response of both sides are breathtaking, but also embarrassing. It seems that De Bruyne and Chelsea have a very unhappy quarrel, and neither side wants to wait.

Chelsea have been buying and selling people in the past two years, and what they have done is a little crazy. What they do is really incomprehensible. Wolfsburg can only sigh in private, Mourinho's stubbornness and toughness in the face of the outside world can often make people feel that his team is a very strong team, but when facing his own people, he always insists that he is all right, his attitude is too tough, and he is unwilling to compromise on anything, which is easy to cause a lot of trouble.

As a coach, it is necessary to have your own tactical thinking, but because you are too stubborn in your own tactical thinking, you ignore all the advantages of the players, and refuse to make even the slightest modification to your tactical system, but have to force them to adapt to their own system, which is inevitably a bit too demanding. And when you have such a strict attitude towards the players, and you refuse to treat the players better, it is not surprising that you will fall out with the players.

After leaving Real Madrid and returning to Chelsea, Jose Mourinho has said he wants to change himself in order to stay at Chelsea permanently. People used to think that he had experienced setbacks and changed a little, but look at what he has done since he arrived at Chelsea, whether it is spraying Benitez, scolding Pep Guardiola and other things, or cleaning up and purging players in the team who do not meet his heart, his stubbornness in his bones has not changed, he is still the same as before.

The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, a person's character, where is it said that it will change?

However, no matter how stubborn and stubborn Mourinho is, it is not a problem of Wolfsburg after all. For Wolfsburg, compared to Mourinho, the first thing they have to consider is still De Bruyne. The contract between the two sides has not yet been fully negotiated, and De Bruyne has already expressed his desire to participate in the team's winter training, and his eagerness to play can also be seen. It may be a bad thing for a player to ask for anything else, but it's definitely not a bad thing for a player to be on the pitch, so when the contract was finalised, they immediately informed De Bruyne that he could come to Wolfsburg for training.

The deal was negotiated very quickly, so when Wolfsburg returned to Germany for the second half of the season after finishing his winter training, De Bruyne was already in Wolfsburg to take part in their training. And in training, he didn't disappoint, and from the very beginning of the game, he showed a very satisfactory level.

As soon as he arrived at Wolfsburg, De Bruyne began training at Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg's Magath has always been known for his amazing training volume, and no one expects him to adapt to Wolfsburg's training style as soon as he enters the team. He hadn't played in the Premier League for a long time, and the Wolfsburg players didn't expect him to adapt immediately, but surprisingly, his ability to adapt in training was unbelievable.

Whether it's Wolfsburg's almost terrifying physical training or the very different rhythms of the Bundesliga and Premier League, there seems to be no obstacle for De Bruyne. After coming to Wolfsburg, he immediately devoted himself to training, not only adapting to the training immediately, but even taking the initiative to practice, trying to integrate into the tactics of Wolfsburg as soon as possible. Although in the process, he was also surprised by the training at Wolfsburg, but unlike Marin, who has not fully integrated into the team for a long time, De Bruyne was surprised by the training, but no matter how much training he had, he persevered.

'It's a bit of a lot of training, but if that's what the team asks for, I think I'll be okay with it. Since you're all playing like this, I'm going to have to adapt to that. ”

When asked by his teammates how he felt, De Bruyne also gave a simple answer. He didn't complain about the training at all, and he didn't say anything more, but from his words, his teammates at Wolfsburg immediately understood what he was thinking.

For him, he is afraid that at this stage, being able to play is his greatest wish, compared to this idea, whether it is the amount of training or the tactical adaptation, it is not a big deal. He is different from Marin, who arrived at Wolfsburg with a stomach full of depression after failing to break into the big club, while De Bruyne is full of ambition to prepare for the national team.

Compared to Marin, he is indeed more worth looking forward to.

"Looks like our new teammate is really good."

After seeing De Bruyne's performance, Gao Shunyao also said the same thing to Mandzukic. Although De Bruyne has not yet shown too much of an amazing level, with his fame and hard work, Gao Shunyao also believes that he can play.

Mandzukic is also very supportive of his idea, but he also feels a little regretful about it.

"It's just a pity that such a good teammate can only play in the league, and can't be counted on in the Champions League."

Mandzukic's answer made Gao Shunyao smile helplessly: Indeed, in this matter, although De Bruyne is very good, this reinforcement is indeed very good, but speaking of which, the biggest regret is that De Bruyne is in the Champions League and cannot play for Wolfsburg.

And this is also the most depressing thing. (To be continued.) )
