As soon as Pan Yi's words fell, the expression on Felipe Vieira's face became a little complicated.

It's not Oblak.

This also means that the wishful thinking of asking Chelsea and Atletico Madrid to have a price increase to sell Oblak for a better price will not work.

And the two young generals that Pan Yi said ......

How to say it, they are indeed Benfica's excellent youth training products, but they were only transferred to the first team last season, and they have not yet carried out a "product display", so their value will naturally not be high.

originally thought of making a big deal with Chelsea, but he didn't expect Pan Yi to take a fancy to some small fish and shrimp, and Felipe Vieira certainly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ah, Mr. Pan Yi, I don't know how you like the two of them, but our club is not ready to sell them for the time being." Felipe Vieira politely declined, saying, "They are all our top Academy players and they are important to us. ”

Pan Yi had a smile on his face.

Isn't it funny that the president of a Benfica club says that his players are important and don't want to sell?

Have you sold fewer academy players over the years?

In fact, Pan Yi also understood what Felipe Vieira meant.

That is, these two youth players are too "small fish" and can't sell them at a good price.

If you want to sell, you have to wait for a period of time to let the "small fish" grow into a "big fish", and then you can sell it!

That is, one word: "Gotta add money!" ”

In fact, now that Pan Yi is here, it is indeed the time when Cancelo and B Xi are the lowest worth.

The two of them have a similar trajectory, with both entering Benfica's academy early and then being promoted to the first team last season.

But most of the time, both of them also played in the B team, making only two or three appearances in the real first team.

This season, Benfica decided to go out on both of them.

And it was this rental that made the two of them gradually embark on the road of stardom.

Cancelo was loaned to Valencia in La Liga, and was officially bought out by Valencia for 15 million euros at the end of the season, and then became the team's starting choice at full-back.

Then he went to Inter Milan, Juventus, and Manchester City, and gradually became the world's top fullback, and his value also rose.

Seat B is doing better.

He was bought out on loan at Monaco in Ligue 1 after only half a season, and Monaco also spent 15.75 million euros on transfer.

He then helped Monaco win the Ligue 1 title from Paris Saint-Germain, was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the season, and reached the last four of the Champions League.

He was then quickly targeted by Manchester City and signed him for 50 million euros, becoming one of the most relied on players in Guardiola's hands.

And Pan Yi's purchase of the two of them was obviously well thought out.

Joao Cancelo is a good player who can play on the left and right wing-backs, and he has an efficient wide range of ability.

His speed, good technique at his feet and a clear physical advantage make him a sharp wide attacker who can transition straight up and down on both flanks.

Although he is only 20 years old and may not be a bit short of Alonso or Azpilicueta in terms of absolute strength, as a "versatile player", he can easily rotate between these two sides.

Moreover, compared with the slower Alonso, Cancelo's explosiveness and sprinting ability can also play his role in some specific tactical scenarios, which can enrich Pan Yi's 343 tactical routine.

Not to mention seat B.

He's a versatile player who can play in multiple positions in central midfield, with a strong point in his skill set and no obvious shortcomings – perhaps a little weaker in the fight for the ball in the air.

Bernardo Silva's task on the pitch is to play the ball and push forward to support the front line after completing the defence, tearing apart the opposition defence by breaking through or through the ball near the penalty area, with the open area behind the centre-forward being his exclusive area.

He is thin but not lacking in confrontational ability, his strengths are that he is good at using good body flexibility and balance to complete technical movements, he has a strong ability to control his center of gravity under pressure, and he has a strong ability to accelerate continuously after starting and change direction and speed abruptly during travel.

Despite his lack of individual defensive ability, Bernardo was excellent in taking the initiative to press, defending on the top and timing the comeback.

In the 343 formation envisioned by Pan Yi, seat B can appear in the position of right winger or left winger, and complete flexible changes with Hazard on the other side, or even center forward Lukaku, so that the opponent is unable to defend;

And with some special tactical requirements, the B seat can also drop back to the middle of the midfield to act as a playmaker.

He can even play in the two midfield positions in 343 to help the whole midfield sort out the ball!

Whether it's Cancelo or B, they have one thing in common: "comprehensive".

This is also the biggest feature of Pan Yi's current lineup.

Many players can be qualified for multiple positions, and can appear in the corresponding positions according to Pan Yi's needs to perform different duties.

For example, Cesar Azpilicueta, such as Branislav Ivanovic, such as Nemanja Matic, including Alonso, including N'Golo Kante, who Pan Yi is about to get done, are all the same.

Therefore, taking these two young Portuguese is a very beneficial addition to Pan Yi's squad for the new season, and it is also the last piece of the puzzle to complete the perfect squad he has built!

"Mr. Vieira." Pan Yi smiled and said to the Benfica chairman, "Let's not talk darkly, don't say anything that doesn't want to be sold, it's very important." I'll just ask for the two of them, and you can make an offer. ”

"This ......," Felipe Vieira was a little embarrassed, but he still considered it in embarrassment, and then said, "Actually, these two players, we already have an agreement with two clubs. They're going to ...... on loan."

"Valencia and Monaco, right?" Pan Yi said.

"How do you know?" Felipe Vieira was taken aback.

Not only him, but even Scaloni, who came with Pan Yi, was taken aback.

It seems that no one mentioned this information in the previous meeting!

How did Pan Yi know?

"I've been following these two players for a long time." Pan Yi smiled, "I didn't do any homework, I dare to ask for someone?" ”

Seeing that Felipe Vieira was silent, Pan Yi said again: "You loaned them out just to let them play their prices outside, and then sell them for a good price." I'm here today, so I'll save this step, let's do it in one step, how about it? ”

"It's ......" Felipe Vieira did not respond directly, but the answer was already in his face.

It depends on how much money Pan Yi makes!

Pan Yi said simply: "Both of them have just arrived at the first team, and their value is not very high. Let's suffer a loss, two people pack, 15 million, how about it? ”

"So expensive?" Scaloni on the side couldn't help but gently touch Pan Yi's shoulder.

In his opinion, the two young people who have not yet proven their strength are indeed not worth such a high price.

But Pan Yi looked calm and signaled him to be calm, and then looked at the chairman of Benfica.

Felipe Vieira hesitated: "To be honest, your offer is very sincere. However, it is not easy for our club to develop a young player, you have to take two ...... at once"

"20 million." Pan Yi quietly gave a new offer, and added, "There are no other additional terms, and it is a one-time payment, cash!" ”

This made Felipe Vieira a little moved.

That's an increase of 5 million euros all at once!

Sure enough, it's a local tyrant style!

Moreover, for two children like Seat B and Cancelo, 20 million euros is almost really worth it!

In contrast, the 21-year-old Spain international Alvaro Morata has made regular appearances at clubs like Real Madrid.

This season he moved to Juventus for a fee of 20 million euros.

Pan Yi is really willing!

And there are no strings attached, and you can pay in cash in a lump sum!

You must know that in many clubs' player transactions, in fact, it is very rare to actually pay in cash in a lump sum.

Everyone hates to break the money in their hands in half and spend it in half!

For example, you can buy a player for a fixed price of 20 million, but it is more affordable to make a down payment of 5 million first, and then pay the remaining 10 million in three or four years.

What, and 5 million?

That may be because this player won the XX championship, scored XX goals, or played XX times, or even won the Golden Ball......

In short, it is to draw cakes, the bigger the painting, the better, the more outrageous the better, and many conditions are ultimately difficult to achieve.

Therefore, many times this player seems to be worth 20 million, but in fact, it may not be so much in the hands of the seller club.

And the buyer did this, in fact, he only spent 5 million in his hands in the current season, so there is still 15 million that can still draw more pies and buy more players.

In the transfer market, such operations are considered routine.

And a shake of his hand like Pan Yi is 20 million cash, which is really rare!

So this all made Filipe Vieira a little bit out of place.

He felt that as the chairman of the "European Black Shop", he was also experienced in a hundred battles, what kind of negotiations he had not seen?

But today such ......

He's never seen it!

How can there be such a five million and five million smashed upwards without careful calculation and research?

You must know that when the two clubs really do business, whether it is an offer or a counter-offer, it is a must be compared, which is why many transactions will be delayed until the end, until the transfer market is almost closed.

"Mr. Pan Yi, I feel your sincerity. But...... These two players are the most promising young players in recent years, and if they were to be sold like this, it would cause dissatisfaction among the members......" Filipe Vieira's voice trembled slightly.

He also saw that Pan Yi really wanted Cancelo and seat B.

Although he couldn't figure out how Pan Yi could know that these two players had potential, and even knew the news that they were about to be loaned to Monaco and Valencia;

But now he wants to understand, how much can Pan Yi get at the highest?

Because of the 20 million euro offer, it is almost the price at which Felipe Vieira can sell these two players, but it is still a little short of his psychological price.

It's just that he didn't dare to raise the price too high by himself, such as 30 million or something.

What if it is too high and Pan Yi is scared away?

This business may be lost in this way.

20 million euros!

Even if Benfica's academy is rich in products, it is not possible to sell just two of them for 20 million euros.

Therefore, it is more reliable to let Pan Yi say the offer himself.

So, Felipe Vieira came up with his usual trick, which is to talk about his own difficulties.

For example, throwing the pot at the fans, saying that the fans are not willing to sell such young and promising players, if I have to sell, I will definitely be sprayed.

Anyway, that's what it means, and it still says the same word: "you have to add money".

Pan Yi was not a fool, and of course he could hear Felipe Vieira's voiceover.

He really laughed.

Now he is not short of money!

He doesn't want to waste time, anyway, with the ability of seat B and Cancelo, to be honest, even if it is sold for 30 million or 40 million in a package, it can't be said to be expensive, right?

Anyway, according to the normal timeline, at most in another six months to a year, they will indeed be sold for about 30 million euros.

Therefore, even if Pan Yi gets 30 million euros, he will not lose a dime.

"25 million euros, or cash!" Pan Yi pretended to be very painful and added another five million, "You guys think about it, if it doesn't work, we'll forget it......"

"Ah...... Don't, don't ......," Felipe Vieira's mouth was almost to the side of his ear.

The ducks you get in hand can't fly!

So, he didn't dare to delay any longer, slapped the table and stood up, then came over and held Pan Yi's hand tightly:

"25 million euros, that's it!"

Pan Yi smiled.

Looking at the other party's expression of "earned, earned", if he knew that there would be no problem with these two people selling one or two hundred million together in the future, how would he feel?

However, Pan Yi still asked with a wicked smile: "Didn't you just say that your fan members will have opinions......

"Rest assured, rest assured!" Filipe Vieira waved his hand, "The opinions of the fans, I will go and appease them." When are we going to sign the transfer contract? ”

——

"This, and this, and this, this ......"

At the Cobham training base, Pan Yi is at the training ground of the Chelsea Under-21 team, pointing at the young players on the field.

Adrian Vives, the head coach of the U21 youth team on the side, watched with a wry smile as his players were spotted by Pan Yi and then promoted to the first team.

It is actually a very normal operation for the first-team coach to ask for someone in the youth team.

It's just that I didn't expect Pan Yi, the new head coach, to come up with so many people, and the strength of the team weakened a lot all of a sudden.

After all, he is also going to lead the team to participate in the U21 Youth League, how can he play when there is no one?

And Vivish's expression Pan Yi certainly saw it in his eyes, but he just thought it was funny.

Who has made Chelsea's youth squad so talented?

However, due to the fierce competition in the first team at a big club like Chelsea, it is difficult for its own youth talent to gain a foothold in the first team.

As a result, many of the Chelsea youngsters are either on long-term loan or have been sold for the finest.

In fact, there are a lot of strong characters here.

For example, 19-year-old Pasalic this year.

The future Croatia international was later loaned to AC Milan before being bought out by Atalanta.

Another example is Eden Hazard Jr.

Hazard's younger brother was later loaned to Borussia Monchengladbach and bought out, before moving to Borussia Dortmund and also made the Belgian national team.

There are also Romeu, Kinkel, McEachran...... Wait a minute.

In fact, they are all at the level of the five major leagues.

It's just that because Pan Yi's requirements are also very high, coupled with the position restrictions, he can only pick the players that the team urgently needs most.

These players can only be left to their free requirement.

"Romelu Lukaku."

"Natan Ake."

"Ruben Loftus-Cheek."

"Kurt Zouma."

"Patrick Bamford."

"Andreas Christensen."

This is the list that Pan Yi finally delineated to be transferred to the first team.

There are three centre-backs, two strikers, and a midfielder.

These three young centre-backs are the replacements they have found for their back three.

In the original Chelsea squad, as they had always played in a back four, the combination of Terry + David Luiz + Gary Cahill was actually more than enough to cope with most situations.

Coupled with the presence of Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic, there is actually no need to think about adding too many manpower in the central defender position.

But now that Pan Yi wants to play three central defenders, manpower will naturally begin to become insufficient.

Therefore, adding Christensen, Ake and Zouma to make up for the number of central defenders is what Pan Yi must do.

Of course, whether it is Ake or Kurt Zouma or Christensen, the three of them themselves have the ability to gain a foothold in the giants.

Ake, in particular, actually debuted in the Feyenoord Academy, and is a versatile midfielder, capable of playing at left-back, left wing-back, centre-back and even midfield.

Ake rose to fame at a young age, switching from Feyenoord to Chelsea after playing for the Dutch youth team at the Under-17 World Cup.

His move caused an uproar in 2011 when Feyenoord was unwilling to give away his good seedlings to others, so he filed an allegation with the Dutch Football Federation for "trading underage players", but Chelsea eventually settled the case with cash.

In his first year at Chelsea, the 16-year-old was placed in the development squad, which he helped to win the FA Youth Cup in 2012.

At the age of 17, Ake was already playing for Chelsea's first team, at one point partnering Frank Lampard in a back two.

However, he was unable to secure a regular place in the first team and was later loaned out until Pan Yi's arrival.

In fact, in the future, whether it is Pep Guardiola at Manchester City or Van Gaal who coaches the Dutch national team, they all have great trust in this all-round left-footed central defender, which has gradually made him grow into a world-class star.

Loftus-Cheek, who plays in the midfield position, is a native of Chelsea, who entered the Chelsea Academy at the age of eight and is a real "prince"!

He is a talented all-round midfielder with the ability to control the game.

As a midfielder, a good sense of position is the foundation of everything you do to catch the ball. Before receiving the ball, when you get the ball, you need to know exactly where your opponent is, where your teammates are, and where the gaps are. Loftus-Cheek is quite good at that.

At the same time, he also has a trait that Pan Yi values at the moment: all-round.

Loftus-Cheek is characterised by his adaptability and ability to play in a variety of positions, from winger to midfield, from shadow striker to midfield, from number eight to number 10.

This kind of panacea allows him to find his suitable position no matter who his teammates are or what tactical formation he is.

He progressed through the ranks of Chelsea's youth team and was called up to England at all levels of the national team, eventually making a name for the England team, which is a testament to his quality.

And the two strikers are even more heavyweight!

Lukaku doesn't need to say much.

200 pounds can still run so fast, what more can you ask him?

The other Bamford is not an ordinary person.

He is a true scholar, fluent in English, French, German and Spanish, with 5 A+s, 3 A's and 2 B's in GCSE exams, and he applied for some university interviews early at the age of 16, which resulted in invitations and sports scholarships from Harvard University.

In the end, he turned down an offer from Harvard University and chose to become a professional footballer.

On the pitch, the England centre-forward is not a single-role centre-forward, he can shoot and possess the ball, and in addition to being a centre-forward, he can also play as an attacking midfielder and on the left and right wings.

His physicality and defensive prowess are also outstanding among the forwards, which is why he will be able to establish himself in the future in Bielsa's almost frantic Leeds United team.

Of course, he was later named for the England team.

Pan Yi's selection of Romelu Lukaku and Bamford was also finalised for Chelsea's centre-forward position this season.

When the time comes, it will be these two young people who will compete for the main position!

It is for this reason that he is not prepared to call his old Ivan Vardy to Chelsea again.

It just so happens that Leicester City has taken a fancy to Vardy, isn't this back to the right world line!

——

Pan Yi was alone when he walked to the youth team training ground, but when he came back, he became seven people!

He brought six young players back to the first team at once!

These young players were very surprised when they were notified, after all, it seemed that being rented out was their fate.

But I didn't expect that now Pan Yi didn't even watch a teaching game or anything, so he directly transferred them to the first team and realized their dream for many years, how can the youngsters not be excited?

And when a group of people crossed the barbed wire fence and entered the training area of the first team, the coaches and players of the first team were also shocked.

The players, in particular, are under pressure.

Pan Yi has always been known in world football for daring to reuse young players, but many people think that sometimes it is just his helplessness.

After all, whether it is Milan or Hamburg, they are stretched thin in terms of transfer funds, so Pan Yi can only tap the potential from young players to achieve the most cost-effective team growth.

Now at Chelsea, with the permission of the boss Abu, it can be said that there is unlimited money, maybe he will not do that.

But what I didn't expect was that today Pan Yi directly promoted six young players to the first team!

The increase in the number of first-team players also means an increase in competitive pressure.

If you don't train and play well, it is very likely that you will be sent to the reserve team by the strict coach Pan Yi!

And in the office building next to the training ground, Chel Bruce Barker and CEO Ron Gurray also stood in the office, silently watching everything that happened outside the window.

"I thought he would spend a lot of money on players from the club, but I didn't expect him to stop after only buying four people." Bruce Buck said.

The four people mentioned by the President are Marcos Alonso, Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo and N'Golo Kante.

Among them, B and Cancelo spent a total of 25 million, Alonso was 15 million, and Kante spent the most, with 40 million euros.

But the total expenditure of 80 million euros is already a very small amount of expenditure in Bruce Barker's imagination.

Ron Gurray nodded happily: "This is our good coach!" There is money to spend, but not to spend it indiscriminately. Dare to promote young players, that's what we like to see, it will help the local fans to build a cohesive club and not say we're international mercenaries......"

Bruce Barker also laughed: "You've always been supportive of having him as head coach, and now I have to admit that I'm starting to like him a little bit as well. Next, it's up to our Coach Pan Yi to pinch this group into a whole......"
