(The previous chapter, Chapter 215, felt like nothing special was written, but it was blocked for a long time, and then half of it was deleted before it was released.) If you want to see the original version, you can join the group to watch, and it doesn't matter if you don't watch it, it won't affect the main line. ）

Staying in China until late June, Pan Yi left for Hamburg.

July 1 is the start of the new training season in Hamburg, and of course he will have to return to Hamburg before that time to do his preparations.

The matter of the Football Association was naturally revealed, and after Pan Yi explained the relevant pros and cons to his parents, they also understood.

What parent doesn't want their children to be well?

Since there is really no future in staying in China, it is better to let go and let the children work hard outside!

And during this time at home, Pan Yi was certainly not completely idle.

The first is that he has been in constant contact with the players to keep up to date with their latest thinking.

After all, the summer window is about to open, and Hamburg's players have been doing so well this season that it is almost impossible to seduce them without a team.

Temptation is everywhere!

But Pan Yi is ambitious for the new season, and the players feel it.

Pan Yi is doing big things, and the players also want to follow him to do big things, so basically no one wants to leave.

Especially the main players.

They also knew very well that Pan Yi valued them very much, and also designed many tactics according to their technical characteristics, so as to bring out their full potential.

And if they do go to other teams, they may not be able to fully play their full strength.

Moreover, Pan Yi also urged the club to satisfy the treatment of some players, and the salary that should be raised took the initiative to increase.

For example, Sun Xingmin, who has been in the first team for three years, has directly increased his weekly salary to 80,000 euros.

This is already the team's maximum salary.

This is already a very good salary even in the Bundesliga.

Even in a team like Bayern, the weekly salary of 80,000 can also be in the middle, similar to Toni Kroos.

By the way, the current maximum salary at Bayern is Robery, both of which are about 200,000 euros a week.

Renewing the contract with Son Heung-min also means setting an example for the team, and it is also an incentive for other players.

As long as you perform well, you don't need to mention it, and the club will naturally take the initiative to raise your salary and renew your contract!

Of course, Sun Xingmin is more special, in addition to his slightly longer years in the team and his outstanding performance, he is also a real prince of Hamburg's youth training.

Therefore, other players who have just joined for a year or half a year will naturally not sign a new contract so quickly, otherwise the burden on the club will be too great.

Players' salaries account for the vast majority of the club's spending!

Assuming that the average weekly salary of each player is 50,000 euros, that annual salary is about 2.5 million, and the first team counts 20 players, and 50 million euros are spent here.

That's it, not counting the salaries of coaches and staff, but also the various expenses of the reserves, youth teams, and venues.

If it's too high, it's very difficult for a small club to afford.

Why does Milan sell people?

For example, Ibrahimovic's weekly salary has reached 300,000 euros, and there are many people in the team with a weekly salary of more than 100,000 yuan, and the player's salary expenditure alone exceeds 100 million a year.

This is why Milan, although they won the treble and won a lot of bonuses, they still can't withstand the reduction of investment.

Even if you can withstand it for one year, you won't be able to withstand it for the next year! Unless you can triple crown every year.

Soon after returning to Hamburg, Pan Yi really heard the news that Berlusconi was about to lose his bearing!

The agreement to sell Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to Paris Saint-Germain is already in the substantive stage, while many of Milan's players are already on the transfer market for a sale.

The better news is that some of these players aren't too expensive.

After a bad start to Serie A last season, Allegrist thought about it and felt that it was because the players left by Pan Yi were not suitable for the new tactics he designed, which led to consecutive defeats.

So he began to live.

In terms of the basic formation, he did not change Pan Yi's 433 system, after all, he used it for a year.

At the back, Allegri has largely dropped Van Dijk.

He still feels that Van Dijk is still too young and inexperienced as a centre-back, and that the defence is still too frizzy at times.

So he used a new signing, the central defensive combination of Zapata and Thiago Silva from Colombia, plus the two wing-backs of the original Desiglio + Abate, to form a new defensive system.

In midfield, Ayan used the "civil and military double", that is, Montolivo and Muntari, plus the veteran Ambrosini combination, and excluded what he saw as the thin and lacking air control Kante from the main lineup.

The move up front was bold, with the exception of centre-forward Ibrahimovic and left winger Sadio Mane, who moved Boateng, who had previously played in midfield, to the forward line and replaced Mohamed Salah to play another winger.

The reason is that it is enough to have a breakthrough point for Mane, and now Milan's forward line needs more rigidity and impact.

What's even more outrageous is that Allegri's use of various black and hard playing styles is really effective!

After winning several rounds in a row and shaking off the shadow of several consecutive defeats at the beginning of the season, Allegri is convinced that his squad is the most suitable for the current Milan tactical play!

So it was used until the end of the season.

Although the last four were empty, despite being swept out of the game by Barcelona 4:0......

But the league still finished third, didn't it fall out of the Champions League zone?

And the direct consequence of A's actions, in addition to the decline in results, is the decline in the value of players like Salah, Kante, and Van Dijk.

They were unknown before they entered Milan, but after one season of play, their valuation on the German transfer skyrocketed.

But after returning to the bench, the value of these people will definitely not be high, at least not ridiculously high.

So...... Hehe, now is the best time for Pan Yi to make a move!

……

"Pan Yi wants to buy four of our players and pack 20 million??"

At the Milanello training base, Galliani jumped when he heard the news from Baresi's mouth.

"Why didn't he rob the bank?" Galliani was furious.

Pan Yi has already sent a more formal offer to Milan.

Salah, N'Golo Kante, Virgil van Dijk and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are priced at €20 million in total.

Although none of these four players can play in the main team at Milan at the moment, this offer is indeed a bit insulting.

After all, in Milan's treble season, these people all played brilliantly, and their value was also rising at that time.

And after a year of bench career, although their value has fallen, it is not a problem for each person to sell more than 10 million.

Even Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has been in the rotation for two seasons, has preferred to field him over Mohamed Salah for most of the season as Allegri seems to prefer his technical qualities.

In other words, these four people have to sell for about 40 million at the market price!

But now, Pan Yi has only offered 20 million, which is almost half of the price......

Seeing Galliani lose his temper, Baresi stood awkwardly awkwardly, a little crying and laughing.

He knew that he would have to talk to Pan Yi after all.

He understands Milan's current situation and he knows Galliani's current mood.

First of all, with the economic downturn in Italy, then the scenery of the mini-World Cup is gone, and Berlusconi's focus is no longer on the team's side.

But as he got older, none of his five children had much interest in taking over.

Because for the business empire, Milan at that time was a big toy that needed to continue to burn money, and this toy was only liked by their father.

What they want to take over is a money-making tool, not a money-burning toy!

As a result, when the Berlusconi family's investment in Milan has been decreasing year by year, this year they are ready to sell Thiago Silva and Ibrahimovic to Grand Paris, which also marks the official beginning of Lao Bei's contraction of investment.

Milan are not ambitious and not motivated, but Galliani is still at the club and he still needs to think about the team.

He wants to recover some money by selling players as much as possible to support the club's operations.

But selling players is not so easy to sell.

World-class stars like Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva will of course attract the attention of more big clubs and will be more likely to sell for a good price.

But now everyone knows that Milan is in urgent need of selling people for cash, and everyone is not in a hurry to sell, but looks at the situation to reduce the price.

Even Ibrahimovic and his brother-in-law, in the case of the local tyrant Paris, actually did not sell for a particularly good price, let alone the other players in the team who were slightly less famous.

Players like N'Golo Kante, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are considered to be "short-lived" players, and some teams are a little hesitant even if they are interested in them (Milanpato, for example).

After all, it is very common in world football for young players to not play at all after they buy them back!

In order to reduce the risk, they will also choose to test and inquire at a lower price, in fact, there has been no formal quotation.

In other words, Pan Yi's four-person package offer is already the most direct and straightforward in recent times!

Therefore, Galliani is angry, but he still has to talk to Pan Yi.

He is the only one who knows the best!

……

"Aubameyang can't sell it, so the other three people can make another price." On the phone, Galliani said straight to the point.

"Oh?" Pan Yi first raised a question mark, but soon Galliani explained what he meant.

The biggest difference between Aubameyang and the other three is that he is a Milan academy product, that is, "his own man" in the eyes of fans.

Unlike the likes of Virgil van Dijk, fans tend to have a deeper affection for Academy players.

In particular, clubs like Milan have always taken "loyalty" as a very important team creed, and hope that there will be more one-person-one-city stories like Maldini and Baresi in the team.

Therefore, even if Milan's current situation is difficult, Galliani still hopes to keep Aubameyang, including academy players like Desiglio, so that Milan fans can feel some comfort.

Of course, from Pan Yi's point of view, Aubameyang doesn't have to be.

When he was in Milan, Aubameyang was just a surprise character, and in a tactical sense, he was actually not as good as the current Son Xingmin.

He proposed to pack four people before, purely to see that he was cheap now, so he bought it easily, and then saw if he could also play in rotation.

Now that Galliani doesn't want to sell, Pan Yi naturally won't force it.

So, he said very simply: "In this way, 25 million for three people, is it interesting enough?" ”

"Ahem!" Galliani coughed dryly, "The value of these people, people outside don't understand, you have taken them for so long, you won't understand, right?" Are they only worth that little money? ”

Pan Yi laughed: "But they're just substitutes now." And who will pay a lot of money for a bunch of players who don't play much? ”

That's right.

Only a time-traveler like Pan Yi can trust that Kante will not be scrapped because of a year's waste.

Most people, when they see a player sitting on the bench all the time, will doubt his ability and form.

He didn't play, so how do you watch him perform?

Galliani was silent for a few seconds.

Pan Yi asked: "We are also old friends, Ming people don't say secret words, you just say it, how much do you want?" ”

"Thirty million. Three people packed, 30 million. Galliani gritted his teeth.

"This is trying to trick me...... Pan Yi said with a smile, "The team I'm in now is Hamburg, not Bayern!" Where did you get so much money? ”

"You've got the Champions League, you're going to have money. I'm sure your transfer budget will not be less this year. ”

"Tsk...... Looks like you're in control. Have you forgotten that when I asked you to bring in these players, it only cost a few dollars...... Is there two million? You're so ruthless now, slaughtering me like this? ”

"This ......" Galliani suddenly became a little stunned, and even blushed a little, and the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, arguing, "How can buying and selling players be called slaughter?" …… Isn't that all about the transfer market? ”

One after another, it was difficult to understand, what "market economy", what "growth premium" and the like, which caused Pan Yi to laugh.

"Okay, okay, 30 million is 30 million." Pan Yi said suddenly, interrupting Galliani's chatter.

"Really?" Pan Yi's simplicity surprised Galliani a little.

"Of course. If I suffer a loss, let's help Milan again! Pan Yi smiled.

"......" Galliani suddenly felt a little excited, "I'll go to Hamburg to find you right away!" ”

……

Pan Yiken paid 30 million to buy people, on the one hand, of course, he really has feelings for Milan.

At a difficult moment in Milan now, he can be regarded as a gentle pull, so that it can slow down its decline a little.

So don't dwell on these millions of things.

It's just that whether this money will really play a big role, Pan Yi is pessimistic.

In other words, he won the treble in Milan, which means that he lasted for more than a year......

Alas, Milan, I really can only help you here.

On the other hand, Pan Yi really needs these three players!

N'Golo Kante, Virgil van Dijk, Salah......

Tsk, if Pan Yi is really asked to find a replacement for these three people in today's transfer market, can he find it?

Even if there is, can it be done at a cost of 30 million?

With these three people, Pan Yi can even use the new conversion idea of combining 433 and 4231 in the tactical play of the new season, making the overall play of Hamburg more flexible and rich, and it is bound to greatly enhance the overall strength of Hamburg.

Not to mention anything else, Van Dijk's ability to play the ball is much stronger than the current Kjaer.

Therefore, Pan Yi did not hesitate, 30 million is 30 million!

He was afraid that if he continued to bargain, maybe the deal would be blown up.

When the time comes, it will be him who will regret it......

……

After the two sides reached an agreement, the transfer process was carried out quickly.

Because there is no problem with the players!

N'Golo Kante, Virgil van Dijk and Salah were all happy when they learned that Pan Yi was going to bring them to Hamburg!

What more could you ask for to play under such a coach who appreciates them?

Even when talking about specific individual contracts, everyone said that as long as they did things according to the original contract.

But Pan Yi didn't treat them badly, after all, they have indeed risen a lot in the past two years.

Decisive salary increase of 100%!

Of course, since they originally signed some "child labor" contracts, even if they doubled, it would not be too high, at most about 50,000 yuan a week.

At the same time, Pan Yi also accelerated the departure process of some players in the team.

After the purchase of Aleksandar Mitrovic, N'Golo Kante, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, some of the players who could not play in the corresponding positions had to be sold.

As a result, in addition to Berry and Ogo, who were already confirmed to leave the team, Bruma, Mancian, Sarah, Shelbray, Tescher and others also began to enter the transfer negotiation stage......

The specific who leaves and who stays here still depends on the final negotiation result and personal wishes, but it is not so important to Pan Yi.

Because he now has two very complete lineups.

Centre-forwards: Jamie Vardy, Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Front: Son Xingmin, De Bruyne, Wu Lei, Lin Zhijian, Calhanoglu, Salah.

Defenders: Casemiro, Kante, Paulinho, Makoto Hasebe.

Defenders: Robertson, Rudiger, Van Dijk, Carvajal, Janssen, Westerman, Kjaer, Dickmeyer.

Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Neuhaus.

When the time comes, add third goalkeeper Drobney, and two players who are willing to stay in the team, and a 25-man squad can be formed.

And this 25-man roster is obviously enough to deal with Hamburg's third-tier battle this season!

In fact, in most cases, these 22 people are enough.

Under Pintus' scientific training, Hamburg's injuries last season were significantly reduced, and this season with more quality players added, Pan Yi can also be more comfortable in rotation.

Besides, there are a lot of versatile players who can play in multiple positions, such as Westermann who can play all positions in central midfield, such as Janssen who is a left-sided player, and Casemiro and Makoto Hasebe can play at central defender.

That said, barring extreme injury stoppages, Hamburg has two or three options in every position.

With such a full squad, the average age of the Hamburg first team has become even lower, even lower than last season!

This has also made some media suspicious.

They believe that Pan Yi spent 30 million euros to bring three substitutes from AC Milan who couldn't play last season, and brought an unknown young center forward from Serbia, and this summer window is definitely a loss.

And even the media has doubts about Hamburg's prospects.

They feel that Hamburg's previous slogan that they can compete with Bayern Munich for the league title now seems a bit exaggerated.

With this whole lineup, can it really compete with Bayern?

In the bookies' odds to win the championship, Hamburg is not even in the top three.

They are fourth behind Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.

But Pan Yi was clearly not interested in such remarks.

Last season you said Hamburg were going to be relegated, but what was the result? It's not like a slap in the face.

Then this season, the same thing will have to be done again! And to fight harder!

Pan Yi is beautiful now.

The transfer work in the summer window was completed so easily, not to mention that the strength of the team has been greatly enhanced, and the transfer budget has not even been used.

The total expenditure is 36 million, and about 10 million can be recovered by selling players, that is, the net expenditure is only more than 20 million.

More than 20 million, he has built a strong team that can compete for any championship!

Wouldn't it be more beautiful for him to use the money he saved to raise the salary ceiling and increase the morale of the players?

……

After the players returned to the Hamburg training camp one after another, Pan Yi specially talked to the two players.

One is Wu Lei.

As a fellow countryman, he also pinned a glimmer of hope on Pan Yi's football in the Dragon Kingdom, and Pan Yi naturally had some special feelings for Wu Lei.

But there are some things that must also be made clear to him.

As the main right winger of Hamburg last season, Pan Yi made it clear to Wu Lei that he could face unprecedented competition in the new season due to the addition of Salah.

Salah's strength is much stronger than Lin Zhijian!

In the face of such a challenge, Wu Lei was able to accept it calmly, and he was also very grateful to Pan Yi for being able to talk to him openly and honestly about these things.

He's a professional footballer after all and understands that competition is there no matter where it is.

Really strong players grow up in fierce competition.

Then Pan Yi made another request to him.

That is, in the new season, Wu Lei needs to deliberately play on the left side in training to hone his backfoot in-cutting skills!

In Pan Yi's 4231 formation last season, Wu Lei existed on the right side as a smooth winger, and his main tactical purpose was to deliver cannonballs to the strikers in the middle after breaking through.

But this season, thanks to the addition of Van Dijk, N'Golo Kante and others, Pan Yi is likely to regain the 433 style of play he had in Milan.

At that time, the winger will not be used very often in such formations.

Therefore, this also presents a new challenge for Wu Lei, he must master this new skill in order to be able to occupy a place in Pan Yi's changeable tactical system!

Of course, Pan Yi still continued his usual style.

The beating is only a small part, more is praise and encouragement, and he hopes that Wu Lei can perform better than last season.

At the same time, he also said:

"Because we're going to be playing on three fronts this season, we're going to have a lot more games."

'Even if you don't get up to the level of the main players for a while, even if you rotate, you don't end up playing a lot less than you did last season.

"So, you still have to keep an eye on your form and try to bring out your best!"

"I hope you can be the first Dragon player to win the Bundesliga, and also the first Dragon player to win the Champions League!"

Pan Yi lit a fire in Wu Lei's heart.

The passion for competition, the desire for honor, no matter what kind of fire, Pan Yi hopes that it can burn in Wu Lei's heart!

Of course, Pan Yi said that there is not a lot of time to rotate players, and he is not talking nonsense.

If a team has multiple quality players in a position, that's it.

For example, Manchester City in recent years, Grealish, Foden, and Mahrez in the winger position; In the midfield position, Gundogan, Rodri, and B are all two out of three, but which are the two absolute main forces? It doesn't seem to be easy to say.

It's because they have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of ability, plus sometimes the B seat will run to play as a winger, or Gundogan will play as a striker or something like that, and sometimes the two groups are not mutually exclusive, so the final playing time will not be too bad.

……

And the other player Pan Yi talked about alone was Mitrovic.

He made it clear to Aleksandar Mitrovic that he would be an important substitute for the team this season, but that he would not be given any fewer appearances.

'I believe in your quality and potential, but I'm sure you can also feel that you are still a certain distance away from Vardy.

"You should also know that if you want to reach his level, it will take a certain amount of time to work hard and hone it."

'But you can rest assured that you also have characteristics and abilities that Vardy doesn't have. So, I'll be using yours a lot as well, so please be ready on the bench at all times! ”

This blunt remark also made Mitrovic nod frequently.

He also said that he was only 19 years old when he was taken to the five major leagues, and it is unrealistic to expect to play the main team.

The reason why he came was because he knew that Pan Yi had a hand in guiding young players, and he would definitely be able to learn more in Hamburg and make faster progress.

In other words, Mitrovic agrees with Pan Yi's statement very much, and also appreciates Pan Yi's direct communication with him.

Pan Yi also said in the end that his employment is based on state and strength.

If one day Mitrovic's ability has really reached the level of the main force, then Pan Yi will not hesitate to put him in the starting lineup!

This undoubtedly gave Mitrovic more encouragement!
