1056 Grand Slam?
In the past period, Yang Huan has been staying in China, sitting in the Chinese Super League, and pressing for Beijing Guoen, which has caused him to somewhat ignore his several teams in Europe.
However, this is also because of Peter Kenyon in charge, Young Master Huan is still very relieved.
The operation and development of these teams are on the right track, and there are fewer things that Young Master Huan needs to worry about.
Besides, even if something really happens, Peter Kenyon has the ability to solve it, and if he really encounters something that wants to dispatch Young Master Huan, I'm afraid it will be a big deal.
However, after Yang Huan came to Monaco and listened to Peter Kenyon's work report, he found that there were no major events, but there were a lot of happy events and troubles.
During the period when Yang Huan left, the two legs of the round of 16 knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League were all over.
Southampton beat Ajax over two legs, and De Boer's side were finally eliminated from the Champions League by the Saints 5-0 and stopped in the round of 16.
Although it was a heavy defeat, the defeat to Southampton made Ajax lose without saying anything.
Although it was a complete defeat in the scoreline, several players in the Ajax team also performed well in the process, such as Brazilian striker Luis Adriano and Brazilian international Bernard, all of whom performed quite well at Ajax.
Although they finished in the last 16 of the Champions League, Ajax have performed quite well in the Eredivisie.
In this season's Eredivisie, De Boer's team has maintained an unbeaten record so far, and even drew only two games, firmly holding down the arch-rival PSV Eindhoven with an absolute advantage, temporarily ranking in the league leader.
'As things stand, Ajax have a very good chance of winning the Eredivisie, but there's a problem.
Peter Kenyon analysed the situation at Ajax with a relaxed face and a clear momentum.
"What's the problem?" Yang Huan asked.
Peter Kenyon shrugged his shoulders helplessly and smiled, "Because the current team is performing well, many players, including Luis Adriano, have been targeted by teams in the four major leagues!" ”
When Yang Huan, Sun Yue and the others heard this, they all immediately laughed.
This is indeed a big problem!
Restricted by the objective conditions of the Eredivisie, coupled with Ajax's own positioning problems, it is difficult for Ajax to compete with the teams of the four major leagues for talent, especially the middle and upper reaches of the four major leagues.
Luis Adriano's ability is indeed very strong, that is, he has enough combat power, whether it was at Shakhtar Donetsk before, or later joined Ajax, his performance is quite strong, especially in the Champions League, which also makes him famous in European football.
In today's European football talent shortage, players like Luis Adriano used to only attract the attention of mid-table teams, but now, many upstream teams, even big clubs, are starting to target him.
In this situation, it will be difficult for Ajax to compete with these teams.
However, the good thing is that if these teams want to poach Luis Adriano, it is impossible not to come up with blood.
"What do you think about the Ajax side?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Standing at the height of Young Master Huan, looking at Luis Adriano being poached is like a big boss of a group looking at an ordinary employee changing jobs, which is normal and not a big deal.
'Ajax also have young rookies in the squad and have been doing well this season, so it's not a big problem.
Peter Kenyon replied, paused, and continued: "Van der Sar means to sell Luis Adriano and keep Bernard, to bring the young players in the team to grow, and also to stabilize the overall framework of the team. ”
This is also normal.
Even a team like Ajax can't sell out all the core players in the team in one go.
It's really sold out, how can the team show its combat effectiveness?
What to fight Eindhoven?
"And, in addition to Ajax, we have a lot of talent, Monaco has Ponce, Jovic and Mbappe, Hamburg also has young players such as Suxes, plus Southampton, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, filling the void at Ajax is problematic."
Not to mention, Miracle Football Group also has a group of outstanding young players in Brazil, including Barbossa and Lincoln.
The advantage of group operation is that the internal flow of talents is convenient and the resource reserve is relatively abundant.
Once there is a gap in the supply of talent in a certain position of Ajax, some players who cannot play can be loaned or brought in from teams in the five major leagues such as Southampton, Hamburg, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Monaco as soon as possible.
Of course, it would be more cost-effective if more suitable players could be brought in at a lower price.
Therefore, the brain drain is indeed a problem in the Ajax team, but if you look at it within the entire Miracle Football Group, it is just a trivial matter.
Yang Huan is now more and more aware of the benefits of group operation, but this mode of operation is not completely without problems.
For example, the internal coordination and resource allocation of each team.
But in general, the pros outweigh the disadvantages.
Otherwise, why are European football investors starting to pay more and more attention to this area?
"Young Master Huan, Ajax's problem is relatively simple, but Southampton's problem is probably more troublesome."
Peter Kenyon said with a solemn expression.
Yang Huan nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
Southampton is in a difficult situation right now, but it's not because the team is not doing well, on the contrary, it's because the team is too good, too ideal.
After the team won the League Cup, because of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, the team basically won Ajax, so Ancelotti's team focused on the Premier League, and as a result, Southampton won the Premier League title ten rounds in advance.
It was a real surprise to everyone, no one expected Carlo Ancelotti's side to win by such a stunning lead, but what was even more surprising was that the Champions League reached the quarter-finals and the FA Cup also reached the last four.
With Southampton's current form and momentum, there is a good chance of reaching the final.
In the words of today's Saints fans, it is to complete the quadruple that no one in the history of the Premier League has ever done, to achieve a Grand Slam and to complete a successful season.
It's certainly a pretty uplifting slogan, and it's hard to implement, but it's a real possibility.
Relatively speaking, the biggest risk is the Champions League.
However, Ancelotti is an old fritter, and the head coach of Real Madrid, the opponent of the quarterfinals, Zinedine Zidane, is an out-and-out novice, and the Saints have to surpass Real Madrid in terms of lineup and form.
Therefore, there is still a lot of hope for the Saints to go further, otherwise, bookmakers such as William Hill would not list the Saints as the number one favorite to win the Champions League this season.
That's what Peter Kenyon meant.
If Carlo Ancelotti's coaching results are too good, what about the Saints?
According to the original plan, Guardiola for Ancelotti?
This will undoubtedly be a heavy burden for both Pep Guardiola and Southampton.
On the contrary, it was Ancelotti, who must have been happy to retreat.
But if the plan is changed temporarily and Ancelotti is kept, then everything the team has done before will be in vain.
What's more, Guardiola is also full of ambition to coach the Saints, if the team changes temporarily, I am afraid that it will completely offend the Spanish coach and completely destroy Yang Huan's entire plan.
Therefore, sometimes, the grades are too good, and it is also a very headache.
However, Southampton invited Pep Guardiola to coach, which was a plan made by Yang Huan before, and the team has also made sufficient preparations for this, including the introduction of the first team, including the transformation of the youth team, which is part of it.
Even this summer, the team will bring in Verratti from Monaco, a midfielder handpicked by Pep Guardiola.
If you change your mind temporarily at this time, it is indeed not Young Master Huan's style.
Therefore, after listening to Peter Kenyon's words, Yang Huan pondered for a while.
"I'll go to the UK to deal with this matter myself, regardless of Ancelotti's results, and it's a decision to invite Pep Guardiola to take over."
Peter Kenyon and others also understand this.
Compared to Southampton, the problems of other teams are simpler.
Atletico Madrid have had a strong season and are currently leading La Liga, so there is a good chance of winning the title again.
After two or three years of accumulation and metabolism, Simeone's team finally ushered in the time to produce results.
Unfortunately, however, the Sheets reached the quarter-finals after beating PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League round of 16 with a 7-0 win over two legs, where they met Paris Saint-Germain, who eliminated Barcelona.
Judging from the cards, Simeone's chances of advancing are still relatively high.
Interestingly, in addition to the Premier League and La Liga, the leaders of Serie A and Ligue 1 are also Yang Huan's teams, Klopp's Inter Milan and Koeman's Monaco respectively.
Among them, Inter Milan's lead is also obvious, and winning the championship is basically ironclad.
As for Koeman's Monaco, they are currently only two points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and should be considered the most likely team to win the title.
What's even more rare is that Inter Milan defeated Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City team in the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League, and Monaco also successfully defeated Zenit St. Petersburg to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
In other words, among the eight teams in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season, Southampton, Monaco, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Hamburg, Yang Huan occupies five teams, not to mention Tottenham Hotspur, which has a stake.
It should be said that Yang Huan himself was very surprised when the Champions League was played so far.
In the Bundesliga, Thomas Tuchel's side are currently one point behind Bayern Munich, but Hamburg are determined to reverse Bayern Munich in the hope of winning the league title again after many years.
However, after this season's reorganization, the front trident of Dzeko, Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koeman has shone in the Bundesliga, especially Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koeman, who have attracted the attention of the biggest teams across Europe.
This also poses a big problem for Hamburg and Miracle Football Group.
That's how to keep these two players and keep the overall strength of the Hamburg team.
In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Hamburg met Monaco in another room-mate, while they were in the bottom half of the table with Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid.
Judging from the results of the draw, the fight between these four teams is also quite suspenseful, and the strength is basically between the two sides, and it is normal to win or lose.
Because of this, this season's Champions League has made fans all over the world addicted.
In the past few years, teams such as Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco have been as strong as ever, and this season there is a strong rise of Klopp's Inter Milan, coupled with Tuchel's Champions League dark horse Hamburg, which has undoubtedly injected fresh elements into the Champions League.
What's even more rare is that these teams are very strong, and they even have the strength to challenge the top teams.
This undoubtedly brings more suspense to the Champions League.
