Since these days, because of Gao Shunyao's playing in Wolfsburg, Li Ze has also been paying attention to the winds and grasses of Wolfsburg. +◆ With +◆ Dream + ◆ Small +◆ Say, .com. For more recent chapters, visit: . Although he couldn't do anything for Gao Shunyao himself, he still couldn't help but inquire about the news.

And this summer, Magath '' the transfer of Wolfsburg, and Li Ze has always been watching it. And Magath's transfer practices also made him somewhat aware of Magath's ambitions.

The most obvious of his transfer 'operations' is the players he has introduced, and the amount of investment varies according to different age groups. For younger players, he invests significantly more, while for older players, he invests slightly less.

This approach made Li Ze see something different.

All strong teams generally have a good age group, three generations of old, middle and young, support each other, help each other, in order to form a good team. The veteran players are experienced, can do everything that happens, and can deal with all kinds of situations on the field. The young players are at the top of the team, they are the pillars of the football team, the symbol of strength, and the young players are the future of the team, their presence makes the team vibrant and stronger.

A strong team is indispensable for these three types of people. If not, it's easy to go wrong. Milan's two teams are in trouble because there are too many elderly people, Inter Milan planted a big heel last year, and AC Milan has been shrouded in the plight of nursing homes all these years. In the same way, the youth army is just as prone to problems. Although they are often gifted, it is difficult for them to realize their talents. Others don't say it, Arsenal is the best example. Even if they have the best youth army in Europe and play the best football, but they are not willing to 'spend' money to buy players, it is still difficult to produce results.

Of course, in addition to these two, there is also one that is all young players. Such a team is very likely to produce results in the short term. But over time. A team full of young players is also prone to ageing. If this team is a giant. It's the rich, like Chelsea, who get old and buy a new batch to replace it, so it's much easier to say. However, if you don't have that much money, it's better not to play with such a trick. During the period of the Serie A Seven Sisters, some of the once ambitious teams in La Liga and the Premier League did similar things, but in the end, the results of these teams were all disastrous and unsustainable.

Wolfsburg had to be more careful than them: Schalke had complained not long ago that Magath was 'spending' too much. Let Schalke be badly affected. Wolfsburg naturally can't go that old way - not to mention, they have already made this attempt last year, bringing in Diego at a high price. It was a failed attempt, and it would be difficult for them to withstand such a blow again.

It may be for this reason that Wolfsburg's transfer this year is different from last year. Their transfer brings in players from all over the old, middle and young generations, and what they want to do is not to 'spend' a lot of money to completely strengthen them in one go, but to improve their players of all ages in an all-round way.

It's not that hard. Because Wolfsburg is not without people. They already have a lot of good players, so it's time to buy people. There are also a lot of good options.

Wolfsburg has no shortage of veterans, 73-year-old Andre. Lenz is the oldest player in the Bundesliga, while Josue in '79, 'Po' Lak in '81, Madren and Misimovic in '82 are all around 30 years old in the new season, which is already a lot of age for a player.

These players have all been left behind by Wolfsburg this year. Including Misimovic, who had always wanted to leave, also chose to stay under Magath's persuasion. Although Wolfsburg still let go of their former decorated Grafit, they still have enough veteran players to add experience to the team.

And, that's not all. Wolfsburg have also brought in some veteran players this year. Salihamidzic was announced to be signed by Wolfsburg after his contract at Juventus expired. Although the veteran player is very old, the player who played for Bayern Munich back then can still bring a lot to Wolfsburg.

Also signed for free is Thomas Thomas, a former member of the German national team. Hitzelsperger, the midfielder, could offer a lot of variation to Wolfsburg's tactics. In the same vein, Wolfsburg also announced the loan signing of Hleb at Barcelona, whose age and injury situation are not optimistic, and the loan contract also clearly shows that Wolfsburg do not have enough confidence.

But, anyway, these old players, this year is the players of Wolfsburg.

These are the people who can provide a good experience for the team. They are quite useful. Moreover, what Li Ze cares about very much is that the introduction of these players did not 'spend' any of the team's funds.

It's pretty nice not to 'spend' money on veterans. While a veteran is a good asset, it's not a sustainable investment. 'Getting' these veterans on free signings and loans is good for saving money.

In this regard, Wolfsburg has done a good job.

And Wolfsburg has no shortage of middle-aged players. Benaglio in '83 was the goalkeeper, while Schaefer in 1984, Makoto Hasebe, Mandzukic in '86, De Jaga and Helmos, also in '84, were all players in their prime. They will play the role of pillars in the team, from the back line to the central axis, you can see their shadow.

Of course, these are not enough, if you want to make a team really strong, in addition to the main force, of course, there must be substitutes. And Wolfsburg's recruitment of middle-aged players this year is a lot of reinforcement for the bench.

Magath has always been known for his many signings, and although the transfer window has not yet fully passed, Wolfsburg have already signed a few good players and done some tinkering work. For example, he recently signed Ruth and Oakes from Eintracht Frankfurt, a relegated team, one for 3 million, and the other for free reinforcements while the relegation contract was invalidated.

These two 'trades' strengthened the team's back line. Let Wolfsburg have always been a good defender line to have a substitute, and it has not 'spent' a lot of money, compared to other 'trades'. These two 'transactions' can be regarded as 'transactions' that supplement the 'sex' with relatively little 'spending' costs.

These 'exchanges' can't essentially make the team much stronger, but with enough squad depth, the team wants to change the formation or face injuries. There can be better responses, and that's what a mature team needs.

It's just that. In this regard, although Wolfsburg 'spent' money, it is clear that this is not their investment focus. They have investments in this age group though. But it's mostly about finding some solid replacements, not for real reinforcement: if you want to strengthen by buying players before you play, it's definitely an expense that Wolfsburg can't afford.

It's easier to buy them than to buy young players.

Comparatively speaking, Wolfsburg is the weakest in terms of young players. They are not without a lack of talent in their academy: Henoch, Schulze and others are also talented. It's a pity. After all, there are very few such players, only two or three people.

This is also a common feature of football all over the world, and not all talent can be concentrated in the same training camp. Good players are scattered all over the world, and if you want to have enough good players in your team, you have to bring in new talent.

And now Wolfsburg does. That's what it does.

They bought Perisic, they bought Nemanja Matic, obviously preparing to strengthen their young players. Spending money on young players is a proven long-term investment. And in their squad, it is not without other young players, Kjaer was left behind. Gu Zizhe can also be regarded as a representative of young players, and Ko Soon-yao is not 22 years old. It's also a young age for a high school striker.

Moreover, these are not all the transfers of Wolfsburg, they are still sitting on a lot of hard work in this regard. Than said that Wolfsburg is still on Sebastian. Yung's transfer is in talks to take the young defender.

And if you count him Wolfsburg has also made 8 reinforcements, will more people be involved in Magat-style crazy transfers? Li Ze didn't dare to predict it. He is sensible after all, and he is still a little dumbfounded by such a crazy transfer pattern of Magath.

However, he also saw that these people, Wolfsburg's investment in them was more than 10 million, compared to the two age groups, the investment intensity is completely different.

Of course, this level of investment is simply poor in the eyes of some Premier League and La Liga teams. Some teams buy tens of millions of people at every turn, and the wealth is amazing, such as Dzeko who walked out of Wolfsburg and went to Manchester City, and the value of 37 million can't play the absolute main force, which simply makes the people of Wolfsburg collapse. Not to mention those real top talents such as Neymar, Bale and others, even if they have not transferred yet, their high value is incredible.

Such a transfer, Wolfsburg is definitely incomparable, not to mention Wolfsburg, Bayern can't come up with such a price. When Aguero transferred to Atletico Madrid, Bayern, who originally favored him, looked at Atletico Madrid's offer and denounced Atletico Madrid as a vicious 'sexual' competition. Bundesliga teams don't have that much money to spend on bringing in young people, and what they prefer to do is buy players for a similar price and then develop them themselves.

A player worth about 5 million, this is the price that Wolfsburg can accept. And such a few players, after growing together slowly and playing well, are also a better choice for Wolfsburg. Compared to the practice of buying enough top players for a lot of money, Wolfsburg did this because they wanted a better future.

And this is also where Li Ze thinks Magath has ambitions: what he wants may be more than a European place, or even a Champions League place. If he really wants to do that, he can just find a few good players to lead him, but he finds a group of young players and lets the old people lead them to forge ahead, Magath's real purpose is obviously more than that.

He's won the league with Wolfsburg, but now, does he really want to do it again? It's just that the current Bundesliga is different from the previous two years, can he really do it?

However, whether he can do it or not, Gao Shunyao will be very happy if he understands his thoughts, right? Because Gao Shunyao seems to have never won a league championship in his career...... q
