Yang Hao has wanted to sign Van der Sar for a long time.

But when Atletico Madrid first made an offer to Juventus, the Bianconeri did not refuse, but Van der Sar refused.

The Dutch goalkeeper conveyed his wishes through his agent that he would prefer to stay at Juventus.

Rising from where he fell, he was eager to prove himself again with the Bianconeri.

As a result, the transfer was aborted.

But just a few days ago, Van der Sar's agent Rob Jensen suddenly called Yang Hao, and the player hoped that Yang Hao could take time to meet with him.

Of course, Yang Hao will not refuse, considering that Van der Sar has been in the national team recently and is preparing for the European Cup, so Yang Hao accommodated Van der Sar, and the two sides made an appointment in Lausanne, Switzerland, after the warm-up match between the Netherlands and Poland, Van der Sar asked for leave and came out and met secretly.

After arriving in Lausanne, Van der Sar's agent also gave Yang Hao two tickets, allowing him and Mendiodo to watch the warm-up match live, and the Netherlands defeated Poland 3-1.

Kluivert scored twice and De Boer scored a goal.

It is worth mentioning that despite his excellent performance at Atletico, Hasselbaink was unable to convince Rijkaard that he would not be selected for this year's edition of the Dutch national team.

For this, the Dutch striker was furious and counted out a few words of Rijkaard in the media.

Yang Hao can see that Van der Sar's condition is not particularly ideal.

When the two parties met in the agreed hotel room, Yang Hao also noticed that Van der Sar's spirit was not very high.

This doesn't look like the way a big war should be.

……

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of telling me what caused you to change your mind suddenly?"

Yang Hao asked curiously.

Previous feedback from the club said that Van der Sar's desire to stay at Juventus is still very strong.

How did it change in just a short period of time?

Van der Sar and agent Rob Jensen looked at each other, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Juventus are preparing to sign Buffon. ”

Yang Hao was not surprised.

It is no secret that Juventus is now at the helm of Italian football bigwig Moggi, who later became the protagonist of the phonegate, his son runs the most powerful agent in Italy, and Buffon is a player that Juventus fancies.

It's like this summer, AC Milan also had to change the goalkeeper, so they didn't consider Buffon and chose Dida.

This is partly due to the fact that Buffon is too expensive, but everyone knows that Buffon is Moggie's prey.

Yang Hao remembered that he had read a report in his previous life that Buffon almost transferred to Barcelona in 01, and even the players and agents had already negotiated with Barcelona, but after returning to Italy, Moggie received the news and called Buffon's agent directly and asked him: "Where do you want to go?" ”

In the end, Buffon couldn't go anywhere and went straight to Juventus.

The story of Gianluigi Buffon and Juventus is certainly a good story, but Moggi did use some tricks to sign Buffon.

As for now, why hasn't it been done for a long time......

Mainly because there is no money.

Buffon became famous at a young age, and now he is a popular superstar of the Italian national team, with the fame of the Italian Small World Cup, if you want to sign a popular fried chicken like Buffon, is it possible to spend no money?

"Are Juventus willing to spend this money?" Yang Hao asked with a smile.

The Bianconeri are not out of money, but Moggie is too budgetary and has always believed in living within his means.

For example, last summer, Juventus sold their main goalkeeper Peruzzi to Inter Milan for 19 million euros, and Henry to Arsenal for 16.1 million euros.

Then, Moggi used the money to sign Kovacevic for 17 million euros, Olisech for 10 million, and Van der Sar and Zambrotta, both for 8 million.

Look, this operation has further improved Juventus' overall competitiveness.

Putting aside the stain of the phone gate, Moggie is indeed quite powerful in terms of transfer operations.

But this summer, I don't seem to have heard that Juventus is going to sell anyone, but I heard that I want to sign Trezeguet, which is not a small amount, where will the money come from to sign Buffon?

"Actually, Juventus has spent 8.3 million euros to sign Carini, the international player of the Uruguay national youth team, if they sign Buffon again......" Rob Jensen also confessed and did not hide it from Yang Hao.

Carini performed very well at the World Youth Championships, but unfortunately, he did not play after his move to Juventus.

"Juventus is so willing to burn money now?" Yang Hao was a little skeptical.

This is not Moji's style, unless......

"Real Madrid's presidential candidate, Florentino Perez, has already spoken to Juventus and will sign Zidane once he is elected." Van der Sar told a secret that outsiders didn't know yet.

Yang Hao's brows suddenly furrowed, "Juventus agreed?" ”

"It should be." Van der Sar nodded.

Otherwise, how could Moggie go to fight Buffon's idea?

"Juventus talked to me as early as when Atletico Madrid made an offer, they had considered changing the goalkeeper, and this time it is said that Real Madrid's offer to Zidane is very high, even more than the astronomical amount rumored by Figo." Jensen analyzed.

Yang Hao thought about it in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He vaguely guessed that this should be the butterfly effect after he crossed over.

He had previously told Florentino that the biggest problem with his superstar strategy was time.

One superstar a year won't work, because in two years, the superstars will be old.

So, now Florentino is very urgent, wanting to swallow Figo and Zidane in one go.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Real Madrid also made an offer to Zidane in 2000, but Juventus rejected it at that time, for the simple reason that Real Madrid's offer was not high enough.

But now it seems that Florentino is determined to win.

One summer, two superstars, Florentino, are fierce enough!

Where can this unlucky guy of Sans bear it!

And Juventus also saw that Van der Sar was not suitable for Serie A, so he wanted to change the goalkeeper, and just as Real Madrid sent money to the door, Moggi immediately pushed the boat down the river and sold Zidane and Van der Sar in exchange for Buffon.

This European football scene is getting more and more interesting!

"Mr. Yang, can I ask you a question?"

Van der Sar looked at Yang Hao deeply, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

"You ask."

"Mr. Hill once said to my agent, you think I'm the best goalkeeper in the world, and I want to know, is that true?"

When asking questions, Van der Sar stared at Yang Hao with a pair of eyes, not allowing him to cover up and deceive.

"Really." Yang Hao gave the answer very simply, and he was very sure.

He said it was one of the best, and Hill Jr. was clearly omitted when he conveyed it.

But it doesn't matter.

'I admire the Ajax team under Louis van Gaal and I think the goalkeeper of the future should not just be on the goal line, he can do more for the team, including organising the defenders, controlling the whole penalty area and so on.

'I spoke to Perizzaro and he told me that the requirements for a goalkeeper in Italy are simple, you can't make mistakes, but in the Netherlands and La Liga the requirements for a goalkeeper are different, especially in Louis van Gaal's Ajax team, sometimes he even looks like an attacking player, isn't it?'

Many people say that Manuel Neuer started the school of goalkeepers, but if you want to go back to the roots, Van der Sar should probably go earlier.

Anyone who watched Van der Sar play in the early days will be familiar with his footwork, which may have been better than even most of the midfielders, and he also has a stunning long ball that can be launched directly from the back of the net.

Van der Sar's defensive style is to direct the defensive line, organize the defenders to defend, and block the position by reasonable positioning, so that it is often seen in the game that the opponent is more like kicking the ball directly into his arms.

In Italy, Juventus fans don't approve of this style of defense at all, they feel that Van der Sar is not doing anything, and it is difficult for defenders to accept that there is such a person behind him, pointing fingers at him.

Why?

Carlo Ancelotti is also not good at using such a goalkeeper, which has led to Van der Sar's very poor situation at Juventus.

When he performs well, he can keep consecutive clean sheets, but that doesn't seem to be his credit at all, because he didn't do anything, it was just good luck and the opponent couldn't get the shot right.

But once he makes a mistake, then all the problems are his responsibility.

That's what happened to Van der Sar at Juventus.

Juventus fans even used an insulting football term to describe Van der Sar's low-level mistakes.

Papere, duck.

Yang Hao is different from Ancelotti, he knows Van der Sar's ability and understands his characteristics, so he introduced to Van der Sar the tactical style of play he will adopt in the new season, and also said that he will entrust the goal and the entire penalty area to Van der Sar to give full play to his characteristics and advantages.

"I've heard that phrase about a goalkeeper."

"A goalkeeper's job on the pitch is to spot problems, identify situations and give solutions quickly, which is a job where practice makes perfect."

'An experienced goalkeeper can read the opposition quickly and have plenty of time to organise the defence in front of him, but it is difficult for young goalkeepers to do that, so they have to rely on talent to solve problems.

"Whether it's an older experienced goalkeeper or a young goalkeeper, once they start making mistakes, it's easy to fall into a never-ending self-doubt until they lose confidence completely."

When Van der Sar heard Yang Hao's words, he looked at the strange young man in front of him in disbelief, he couldn't imagine that Yang Hao could say such a thing to him.

This is by no means something that anyone who does not have any professional experience, especially goalkeeping experience, can tell.

"Who said that?" Van der Sar asked.

Yang Hao really wants to say that your former Dutch international Jopp Shearer is talking about Manchester United's goalkeeper Howard.

But at this moment, Yang Hao made a slight modification to motivate Van der Sar.

"Everyone has self-doubt, including you, me, everyone."

"And we can only make progress if we overcome our doubts about ourselves!"

Since they met, Van der Sar has given Yang Hao the feeling that he is very calm and rational, as if nothing can move him.

But at this moment, he found that the Dutch door god was moved.

Van der Sar closed his eyes, tried to calm down, and when he opened them again, he looked at Yang Hao and said word by word: "I am willing to join Atletico Madrid!" ”
