Chapter 123: Lightning-fast signing

After the celebrations of the championship were over, all the Milan players were disbanded on the spot and went into vacation.

Of course, for many of the players in the Milan squad, there will be no holidays this summer.

On June 8, Euro 2012 will open in Poland and Ukraine.

Players such as Gattuso, Ambrosini and Abate, who have performed well this season, have been called up for the Italian national team, while Desiglio, who froze Robben in the Champions League final, has also been called up.

He replaced Zambrotta, who had been injured in the final, who had to recuperate for a month due to a thigh muscle strain.

In the group stage of the European Championships, Milan players will also be "in the same room", with Ibrahimovic, representing the Swedish national team, and N'Golo Kante, who has been selected for the tournament for the first time, going head-to-head in Group D.

Virgil van Dijk is also playing in the Netherlands for the first time at the European Championships, where they will face strong challenges from Denmark, Germany and Portugal in Group B.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Pan Yi now.

The day after the party, he traveled to Hamburg, Germany, to finalize a contract with Hamburg Chairman Jahoff.

This is due to the sincerity of the Hamburg side, and it has been actively contacting Pan Yi to discuss some details during this time, so it is easy for the two sides to reach an agreement.

Of course, Pan Yi added an additional requirement to bring his own assistant coach on this trip, and Yahoff also agreed.

After all, this is a very normal thing in football, and many times the transfer of a manager also represents a change in the entire coaching staff.

The same team, everyone is familiar with each other, can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, but also make the run-in period as much as possible, and start work as soon as possible. This is even something that does more good than bad for Hamburg.

In the end, the Hamburg side offered Pan Yi an annual salary of 1 million euros for two years.

This is already very good in Germany, where they can be in the middle of the pack among all the managers.

For Pan Yi, the salary has increased fivefold, and of course he is quite satisfied.

And signing for two years is also in line with Pan Yi's own plan, which is probably to stabilize his position in the Bundesliga in the first year and strive to play in Europe, and in the second year, he will have to produce comprehensive results.

As for the rest of the matter, I'll talk about that later.

After all, if you have good grades, not to mention that Hamburg will not renew your contract, there will definitely be more teams that will flatter you.

"That...... Can you advance this salary first? I have an urgent need. ”

At the end of the negotiations, Pan Yi made another request.

Yahoff was stunned, but agreed.

He also understands that Pan Yi is just a young man who has just graduated, and now that he is alone in Germany, there must be a lot of money to spend.

Now that they have made up their minds to invite Pan Yi to Hamburg, this matter can be accommodated.

Moreover, Yakhoff is also afraid that something will happen, so he is so anxious to find Pan Yi to negotiate the contract.

There are a lot of competitors who want to ask Pan Yi to be the head coach, don't plant it on such trivial things.

Besides, the sooner you get the manager, the sooner you can prepare for next season, which will certainly be beneficial to Hamburg.

So it was negotiated.

As soon as the conversation was finished at noon, Pan Yi officially signed a contract with the Hamburg club in the afternoon and held a press conference.

Although Pan Yi's contract with Milan did not expire until June 30, everyone broke up with Heqi after winning several championships, so no one cared about the last inconsequential month, and the two sides quickly negotiated to terminate the contract.

So Pan Yi officially became the head coach of Hamburg!

At the press conference, many journalists came to Hamburg President Jakhoff to ask questions:

"Pan Yi was an assistant coach at AC Milan yesterday and became the head coach of Hamburg today. Does this lightning speed indicate that you have been in contact with each other for a long time? ”

Yahoff laughed:

"We have naturally admired a young talent like Pan Yi for a long time. It's an honour to sign him before any other club. ”

"Just the day before yesterday, Pan Yi helped AC Milan win the Champions League this season, which in itself proves his quality. He has made Milan a lot of improvement both offensively and defensively. ”

"Inviting Pan Yi to Hamburg as head coach was a unanimous decision from top to bottom of the club. Every Hamburg player I met said they wanted to play under him! ”

The President's words are, of course, half-truths.

The Hamburg players have long been on vacation, where is he going to listen to what they have to say?

Besides, when it comes to asking a manager for such a thing, where is the turn of the players to speak?

This is just a gimmick used at press conferences to show the club's support and trust in the new manager.

And the reporters naturally know it, and they don't delve into it, and they focus on today's protagonist - Pan Yi.

When asked about today's thoughts, Pan Yi said:

"It's always been my dream to be the manager of a team and to play on a bigger stage. So I'm very grateful to Mr. Jahoff for trusting me and giving me this opportunity, and I'm very excited right now. ”

The reporter asked: "What do you think of the Hamburg team?" ”

Pan Yi replied: "This is a team with great potential, and there are many young rising stars in the team. They fell into the relegation zone at one point this season, which in my opinion was just a surprise. When I arrive, I will find out the potential of these youngsters and I will also look for more good young players to get Hamburg back to where they should be. ”

This is the first signal sent by Pan Yi, that is, he will reuse new people in the new season.

Neither the top nor the journalists felt any surprise at this point.

Aren't the young people in AC Milan who are killing all sides out of Pan Yi excavated?

And Pan Yi is saying this now, in fact, there is another intention, which is to prevent Van der Vaart from returning in the future to give a precautionary shot to the top management.

At this time, Van der Vaart was past the peak of his career.

After leaving Hamburg for Real Madrid in 2008, he was underwhelmed and moved to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League two years later.

After Villas-Boas became Tottenham manager, Van der Vaart was not used very much, so he will seek to return to Hamburg in the 2012-2013 season.

In Pan Yi's previous life, the deal was finally closed.

It's not that Van der Vaart can't be useful in the current Hamburg squad, but spending a transfer fee of around 15 million euros is still too high for Pan Yi.

Isn't it fragrant to take this money to get a De Bruyne or something?

The 20-year-old Ding is still playing at Chelsea and will have to be loaned everywhere for some time to come.

Therefore, now Pan Yi emphasizes the need to reuse new people, which is to pave the way for future operations.

Finally, the reporter asked: "What are your goals for the new season?" ”

Pan Yi replied happily:

"Turn Hamburg into a team as strong as Milan. What are the specific results...... Let's get into the Champions League! ”
