On the evening of June 30, at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Confederations Cup final, Brazil vs. Spain.

This is a battle that has attracted the attention of the world.

The two star-studded teams both made it through the semi-finals in a thrilling way.

Spain relied on the flash of substitute Isco after the arrival, Torres won 1-0 to Portugal.

It was only in the finale of the game that Kaka received an assist from Neymar and scored the winning goal to beat Uruguay 2-1.

It can be said that both teams played very dangerously.

This also reflects the technical and tactical intensity and gold content of the Confederations Cup, which is not as chicken as many fans thought before the game.

At least, it's a world-class championship trophy!

Before this final, the head coach of the Brazilian national team, Scolari, said in a high-profile press conference, "This decisive battle will be the beginning of Spain's downfall!" ”

The implication is that Brazil wants to beat Spain back to its original form in this final and oust the king.

This is a reflection of Scolari's ambition.

Before the game against Portugal, the vast majority of people were very optimistic about Spain, especially the wave of wild wins in the group stage, which made fans all over the world breathtaking.

But in the semi-finals, Spain exposed its own very big problems.

Age!

Don't underestimate this word, it's the most decisive key factor on the football field!

Harvey is 33 years old.

Xavi Alonso is also 31 years old.

After a long season and 50 games, in the summer, they have to deal with a series of high-intensity games in just half a month, which is really terrible for those players who are over 30 years old.

Age determines how quickly a player recovers.

This is even more fatal for a team like Spain.

Because in the past, Spain could rely on excellent physical fitness, running and covering at any cost on the pitch, and using technology and passing ability to make up for physical shortcomings and weaknesses.

But if the body is old, the physical fitness is not good, and the confrontation is declining, with the thin body of the Spanish player, how to fight?

In the past few years, from the Euro Cup in 08 to the World Cup in 10 to the Euro Cup in 12, Spain has swept the world football and created unprecedented achievements.

But all the teams have gradually figured out how to restrain Spain, and it works.

France held Spain to a 0-0 draw.

Didier Deschamps' tactics in this game are very positive.

France showed a stronger physique, quicker pace and the ability to keep their opponents pressed through a well-knit defence.

With these advantages, it is possible to beat the opponent as long as the technique does not lose too much to Spain.

Of course, even if the technique is too poor, relying on these advantages, there is still a chance to block the Spanish attack.

Scolari had studied that game more than 10 times before the game, and he magnified almost every little detail of the game, every problem.

Some people may say that that game was just a World Cup qualifier and the intensity was still not enough.

In the semi-finals of this Confederations Cup, Portugal almost copied the tactics of the French team.

If it weren't for Yang Hao arranging Isco to come off the bench later, this youngster played an amazing form and saved Spain, then it is really impossible to say who is entering the final now.

Scolari has to admit that Yang Hao is indeed a master tactician, even great.

Because he helped Spain find a tactical path of their own.

But the problem is that no matter how strong Yang Hao is, he can't change the facts.

Xavi and other veterans are aging, and Spain's current talent pool has declined to a certain extent, especially their physical confrontation is still weak and the speed is still not fast.

Even the physical strength they used to rely on to survive is now a little inadequate.

That's Brazil's chance!

"We have a stronger body than Spain, more speed, more individual superstars, and we have the passing skills to be able to pass and control the ball without losing to anyone!"

"Right now, we are more physically fit than Spain, we are superior to Spain in almost everything, in all technical and tactical aspects!"

"I can't imagine any reason why we shouldn't win this final!"

"What reason do we have for this championship to be taken away from Brazilian soil?"

Scolari's impassioned mobilization in the pre-match dressing room made all the Brazilian players enthusiastic.

This made everyone as excited as if they had been beaten on the pitch.

Goalkeeper: Cesar;

Defence: Marcelo, David Luiz, Thiago Silva and Alves;

Midfielders: Paulinho and Gustavo form a double midfield, with Neymar, Kaka and Hulk in front;

Forward: Adriano.

Five of the starting 11 players were from Atletico Madrid, including Paulinho, who played in La Liga last season, and a full nine players were from La Liga.

So both sides are very familiar.

……

Spain's problems, does Yang Hao know?

The answer was obvious, he knew, and knew it better than anyone else.

Therefore, after the draw with France, he resolutely recruited Isco and Koke before the Confederations Cup.

Many Spanish media outlets have slammed him, accusing him of nepotism.

Why can't Cazorla and a group of players with outstanding strength and the right age be selected, but two young players who can't play the main team in Atletico Madrid?

There are even many media who are afraid that the world will spread rumors, thinking that Yang Hao wants to use his last two competitions to pave the way for Atletico Madrid's young players, and use them for public and private purposes.

Before the Confederations Cup, Yang Hao was burdened with a very heavy burden and pressure.

Many people are worried about him, if Spain does not get good results, he may lose his reputation, and in serious cases, he may even be ruined.

But after the semi-final against Portugal, everyone woke up.

Without Isco, what will Spain take to reach the final?

What Isco can do, can Cazorla do?

Inside Spain, public opinion has begun to reverse.

Before, the media and fans questioned and worried about Yang Hao, but now the reversal is ten or a hundred times greater than theirs.

But Yang Hao, who is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, knows it very well.

Playing Portugal, Spain is already showing some signs of the end of the crossbow.

This is also thanks to the full rotation of his team when he played Talati in the group stage, otherwise he would not have made it to the semi-finals.

Therefore, in this final, Yang Hao decisively changed the formation and came up with another set of tactics that he had been preparing for a long time.

A more secure and practical set of tactics.

Or 433.

Goalkeepers: Casillas;

Defence: Alba, Pique, Pepe and Ramos;

Midfielders: Xavi Alonso, Sergio Busquets and Xavi Martinez;

Forwards: Andres Iniesta, Fernando Torres and David Silva.

When everyone saw Spain's starting lineup, their first reaction was shock.

Yang Hao completely broke up the midfield configuration.

Although Xavi Martinez is also called Xavi, he is completely different from Xavi of Barcelona.

If Carvajal, a young player who had performed well on the right before, was replaced by Pique and Ramos returned to the right side, which was out of the prudent consideration of defending Ronaldo and Neymar, then why did Xavi sit on the bench?

Why did Javi Martinez start?

With all kinds of doubts, this world-renowned focus battle officially kicked off.

……

Scolari's reputation as a World Cup-winning coach is by no means in vain.

He has been coaching in Europe for the past few years and is no stranger to Spanish football.

In this game, he played 4231 style, and Paulinho and Gustavo's double midfielder is the best proof of this.

Once the game began, Brazil adopted a very ferocious high press tactic.

In addition to being ferocious, they also have countless small actions in the Latin American style, which disturb the Spanish players too much.

For example, the foul by Brazilian player Paulinho on David Silva.

David Silva advanced with the ball in the ribs, Paulinho rushed over to defend, first kicked hard, and it was indeed running for the ball, but when David Silva had already taken the first step to protect the ball, Paulinho did not close his foot, but kicked directly on David Silva's calf.

The kick must have hurt, but David Silva didn't fall to the ground.

Because he didn't want to miss the chance.

What about Paulinho?

Seeing that he didn't stop David Silva, he gritted his teeth, chased after him again, and directly "cut" David Silva with the ball on the periphery of the penalty area.

The referee blew the whistle, awarded a foul and gave a yellow card.

Strictly speaking, Paulinho's first kick was a dirty defensive move.

If David Silva were to be more serious, or the referee blew the whistle, he would have defended himself very aggrievedly that he didn't mean it and couldn't hold his feet.

But apart from Paulinho himself, who knows if he can't take it? Or is it deliberate?

As for the second kick, the intention is even more obvious.

Throughout the game, among the Brazilian players, especially those such as Gustavo, Paulinho and Hulk, it was basically like this.

Some of the other players' movements may not be so dirty, but there are definitely a lot of small intrusive movements.

The existence of double backs ensures the defensive intensity of the Brazilian team and the hardness of the Brazilian team's high pressing.

Neymar said he was a left winger, but he was actually closer to the middle and a little further back, more supporting the veteran Kaka, handing over the left wing to Marcelo.

The same is true of right winger Hulk, who is not as technical and individual as Neymar, who is more likely to soften Spain's left side and even drop back deeper.

Paulinho, Gustavo and Hulk make up the steel jungle of the Brazilian midfield.

As soon as the Spanish ball entered the area, it immediately fell into hand-to-hand combat.

You don't have to think about it to know that the Spanish players are basically at an absolute disadvantage in this kind of physical confrontation, coupled with the countless small movements of the Brazilians, which seriously disrupted the passing and control of the Spanish players.

All kinds of targeted tactics, coupled with Scolari's European-style defensive system that is not Brazilian at all, really made Spain very uncomfortable.

According to Scolari's idea before the game, through this set of tactics, after suppressing Spain, he used Adriano in the front court as a fulcrum, and Neymar, Kaka and Hulk and others inserted in the back to play Spain's rapid counterattack.

With the skill and individual ability of the Brazilian players, this is a very threatening style of play.

But when it came to the game, Scolari was surprised to find that things didn't seem to go the way he expected.

Standing at 1.9 meters tall, the burly and strong Javi Martinez was like a heavy tank, intercepting in Spain's midfield.

Many people have the impression of Javi Martinez as a midfielder, who made a name for himself at Athletic Bilbao as a midfielder, and later transformed Bielsa into a central defender and made a name for himself.

But this game, Yang Hao's use of him is very special.

Of the three midfielders, he is not the deepest, but the most forward.

He can run all over the field almost unfettered in midfield and attack without hesitation.

Xavi Alonso assisted, and Busquets remained at the back of the midfield, even dropping back to the back line from time to time.

Not only that, when the Brazilian team took the initiative to press out and grab it, Yang Hao also made Spain retreat as a whole and tightened the defensive position, which also affected the Brazilian team's offense.

Scolari's arrangement of troops is indeed very targeted, but Yang Hao is also a soldier who will block the water and cover the earth, and he will not let it go at all.

Brazil lacked a playmaker in the midfield, and more often took the route of passing quickly through the halfway, and even frequently made long passes to Adriano or Hulk.

Spain are also not obsessed with possession, grabbing the ball and passing it forward in succession.

Xavi Alonso also frequently launched long passes.

Players are not fast?

It's fine, we pass the ball accurately, we have long balls, we have a wide range of transfers.

With this passing and wide range of left and right pulls, Brazil was forced to run hard.

So, the whole first half was played 0-0.

Both sides almost took the targeted tactics to the extreme.

After the rematch in the second half, there was still no improvement, and the stalemate continued.

The game was intense and the player attrition was visible to the naked eye.

Even, such a duel is no longer elegant and calm, just like two gladiators in the gladiatorial arena, full of mud, bent on killing their opponents.

……

"It's really worthy of Yang Hao!"

In front of the Brazilian coach's box, Scolari shook his head and sighed with emotion.

When fans see this game, they will probably feel that this game is more intense than exciting.

But as the team's manager, Scolari must admit that Yang Hao has done everything a manager can do, especially when it comes to planning ahead.

"There's a saying in European football, don't mess up a winning squad." Assistant coach Flavio Teixeira nodded approvingly.

"Yang Hao can prepare in advance when Spain is overwhelmed, and it is really not easy to deal with today's situation!"

Scolari nodded, "But it's not easy, after all, to do this, you have to take one more step, and this extra step is often more radical and controversial." ”

'How many managers have fallen on that step? And only a head coach of Yang Hao's level has the strength to take this step well, which even I can't do. Scolari smiled bitterly at the end.

Why?

Just look at the current lineup of the Brazilian team.

The two veterans, Kaka and Adriano, are still showing their remaining heat.

This is because of their importance, but on the other hand, it does not make room for other players.

Scolari turned his head and glanced at the Spanish dugout and bench.

Xavi was also on the bench.

There is also Isco, who came on as a semi-final substitute, and Keylor Navas, Spain's fastest right winger.

These players are all threats.

Scolari feels that Yang Hao has really brought the lineup and strength that Spain can play to the extreme.

No matter who comes again, he can't do it like Yang Hao.

And Scolari himself is also weighing the Brazilian team's bench lineup, with players such as Oscar, Diego, Fernando, and Lucas Moura all important substitutes in his hands.

Who's on?

……

Entering the 60th minute, Yang Hao took the lead in making the first substitution.

Xavi replaces Xavi Alonso.

The midfield configuration changed to Xavi partnering Xavi Martinez, and Busquets still lagged behind.

Clearly, the purpose of this substitution was to ensure the stability of the midfield and not let the team's performance slip due to physical exertion, and Javi Martinez remained at the top of the pitch.

This is also the inspiration that Yang Hao got from his previous life.

In the 12/13 season, when Bayern won the treble, the double back of Harvey Martinez and Schweinsteiger was the key, but in fact, many people misunderstood, thinking that Harvey Martinez was dragging behind and Schweinsteiger was ahead.

After all, the two of them attack and defend.

But in reality?

Xavi Martinez is more aggressive in covering and tackling forwards, which allows him to often cause huge damage to opponents in matches, especially in the two-legged match against Barcelona.

Yang Hao's strategy in this game is almost the same.

But that wasn't enough to guarantee a safe win.

Therefore, Yang Hao has to continue to wait.

In the 70th minute, Brazil also took the lead in making a substitution.

Center Fred replaces veteran Adriano.

In this game, Adriano was stared at by Pepe without a temper, after all, the age is there.

Just five minutes later, Scolari made his second substitution, bringing on Lucas Moura for Hulk.

This is a signal to strengthen the attack on the wings.

What Yang Hao was waiting for was this opportunity.

Because this is Brazilian territory!

Brazil are aiming to win the title, their tactical play is more costly, and they are willing to drag the game into extra time or even a penalty shootout?

Yang Hao immediately made a second substitution.

But this time instead of Isco, he was replaced by Koke, who replaced Javi Martinez.

The Spanish midfielder delivered 75 minutes at full power, which is almost close to his physical limit with his height and weight.

If you continue to stay on the pitch, your technical moves will get out of shape and mistakes will be inevitable.

After Cork went up, Spain's formation also made adjustments.

Sergio Busquets was still behind, with Andres Iniesta returning to the middle from the left and partnering Xavi to form a classic Habaib midfield.

David Silva moved to the left, with Koke playing as a right winger.

But in reality, both men are close to the middle and relatively close to the midfield to protect the ribs.

Cork has both offense and defense, and the characteristics of full physical energy come into play at this time.

He can not only form a pass-and-control cooperation with his teammates in the midfield, but also quickly advance to participate in the attack, retreat and defend actively, which can ensure the balance of the team's midfield to the greatest extent.

Moreover, young players, strong and driven.

Both sides made two substitutions, with the last substitution on hand and waiting for the game to unfold.

And in the 84th minute of the game, when Neymar retreated to receive the ball, he was tackled by Ramos from behind.

The Brazilian fell to the ground, but the referee did not blow the whistle and deemed it a successful defence.

The scene immediately booed.

The Brazilian player immediately threw himself into the counter-attack.

Ramos passes the ball to Xavi.

Xavi stopped the ball with his back and turned to the left, as if he was going to go in the middle, but in fact he suddenly turned around and turned back again, and the space for passing the ball appeared at this moment.

After seeing the turn, Xavi immediately sent a direct pass.

Koke, who had just come on as a substitute, quickly sprinted forward along the right rib, grabbed ahead of Marcelo, caught up with Xavi's through pass, kicked the ball forward, and accelerated himself to chase it again.

After catching up with the ball on the right side of the edge of the penalty area, Cork got ahead of Thiago Silva and crossed the ball diagonally to the left of the penalty spot in the penalty area.

David Luiz was led forward by Torres, and at this time he was desperately chasing back, but he couldn't get the ball as fast as he could.

David Silva, who has always had an extremely keen sense of smell in the rib space, has been waiting in ambush at the back point for a long time.

When the ball got past Thiago Silva and slid to the left of the penalty spot, he was already on the ground.

Alves, David Luiz and Gustavo were all in pursuit, but David Silva didn't stop the ball at all, caught up with Koke's diagonal pass and fired a left-footed shot.

The ball was pressed against the turf and drilled into the bottom left corner of the Brazilian goal with great speed.

Goalkeeper Cesar was too long to do anything about it.

"The ball is in!!!"

"1 to 0!!"

"Spain were the first to score!"

"In the 84th minute, Spain finally broke through the Brazilian goal!"

'It was the most dangerous attack of the game created by both teams.

"David Silva took a clear chance at the crucial moment!"

"The youngster's quick back cut was very impactful, and it was very timely, and the pass was very good.

'In the semi-finals, the youngster Isco was impressive, and in the final, Cork also impressed, with both substitutions playing a key role.

"I have to say, this is the coaching level of a top tactician!"

……

When Spain managed to break through the Brazilian goal, Scolari and the Brazilian players couldn't sit still.

They began to launch a frantic onslaught.

It has even reached a desperate posture.

This is their home stadium, this is the Confederations Cup final before the World Cup, and they must not lose!

But Spain immediately retracted their defence and adopted a steady tactic.

Cork also showed both offense and defense in the next few defenses.

And Spain also relied on defense to survive the last and most difficult period.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, all the Spanish players breathed a sigh of relief, and then there was a wild cheer.

1 to 0!

With David Silva's stunner at a crucial moment, Spain defeated Brazil 1-0 and successfully defended the Confederations Cup!

Everyone in Brazil is looking particularly depressed.

When Scolari came over to shake hands with Yang Hao, the expression on his face was very ugly.

Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The second substitution, he hesitated.

Cork or Navas?

Keylor Navas is faster and more capable of breaking down the flanks, but his problems are also very obvious, typical of the Spanish winger.

What does that mean?

In fact, it is similar to Vicente, they are better at playing outside the line and making crosses.

Just imagine, if the Spanish attack just now, Navas was slightly forced by Thiago Silva, and immediately changed to the outside line, instead of taking the ribs, and passed diagonally to the left, this attack could have been successful?

Compared to Navas, Koke's biggest shortcoming is age, but his advantage is all-round.

Even in the last ten minutes, in the face of Brazil's onslaught, Koke's defense did a good job.

"You can probably get a good night's sleep this time."

When the players celebrated wildly on the field, Guardiola said to Yang Hao with a smile.

Before the Confederations Cup, the two players who were questioned by the outside world came off the bench in the most critical semifinals and finals, which changed the trend of the game, which is the best interpretation of Yang Hao's coaching level and employment.

Yang Hao also laughed, "It should be your headache in the future!" ”

Pep Guardiola is noncommittal.

"Did you find that in the last 10 minutes or so, the mentality in Brazil was very bad." Juanma Lillo reminded from the sidelines.

Pep Guardiola nodded, "Playing at home, eager to win." ”

"That's right." Yang Hao nodded, "After we go back, study this game well, if we meet Brazil next year, we will find a way to steal a goal from him first, and then slowly clean them up!" ”

Pep Guardiola and Lillo both nodded in unison and laughed.

……

As Guardiola expected.

Yang Hao led the team to win the Confederations Cup in Brazil, which caused a huge repercussion in Spain.

All kinds of doubts about his employment before the game were slapped in the face after the game.

Yang Hao completely raised his eyebrows and was praised by the Spanish media.

Many media, including Marca Daily, Asa Daily and Nation Daily, have analyzed Yang Hao's previous selection and employment criteria one after another, and are all loudly praising Yang Hao's use of Isco and Koke.

At the same time, for Xavi Martinez, Yang Hao's usage has been highly praised by Real Madrid coach Arsene Wenger.

When commenting on the final of the Confederations Cup on French television, Arsene Wenger said that Yang Hao's use of Xavi Martinez touched him greatly, "He completely used Xavi Martinez. ”

And immediately after the conclusion of the Confederations Cup, FIFA also announced the list of awards.

Spain successfully defended their title, Brazil finished second, Uruguay finished third and Portugal fourth.

In terms of individual awards, the best goalkeeper went to Casillas.

Torres won the Golden Boot.

In the selection of the best player, David Silva won the Ballon d'Or, Andres Iniesta won the Ballon d'Or and Neymar won the Bronze Ball.

This is also the best praise for Spain to win the championship.

When Spain returned home from Brazil in triumph, they were greeted by fans at Madrid's capital airport.

Since then, they have been received at the Spanish Royal Palace and the Prime Minister's Office.

In a live interview with Spanish national television, the international players expressed their expectations for next year's World Cup.

"We are very confident that we will be able to win next year's World Cup!"

The Spanish internationals showed high morale.

And everyone knows that this will be the last tournament of Yang Hao's coaching career.

……

After the disbandment of the national team, the time was already July.

Yang Hao has no way to rest.

The same goes for Pep Guardiola.

Because in the last two seasons, Yang Hao has begun to involve him in the team's transfer decisions.

First and foremost is Paul Pogba.

The French midfielder seems determined to go.

Raiola has made it clear to Atletico that Pogba will have to go unless he is promised a key player.

There are many teams that want to get Pogba, including several teams like La Liga, as well as Juventus and Inter Milan in Serie A, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League, etc.

Atletico gave it a lip service, but adopted a strategy in which all teams who wanted to get Pogba made bids.

Whoever offers a higher transfer will be able to take him.

This is the responsibility of the headquarters office, and Yang Hao and Pep Guardiola are thinking about the problems after Pogba's departure.

With Isco and Koke impressive, Pep Guardiola has made it clear that he feels the midfield is good enough to be brought in any more reinforcements.

However, Yang Hao has noticed that Chelsea's Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has flowed into the transfer market.

So, Yang Hao asked Guardiola's opinion.

You know, De Bruyne was Guardiola's humerus general in Manchester City in his previous life.

But to Yang Hao's great surprise, Guardiola actually told Yang Hao that he didn't need De Bruyne.

"Why?" Yang Hao was really surprised.

Pep Guardiola opened the tablet, logged into Atletico Madrid's scouting system, opened De Bruyne's data list, pointed to one of the stats inside, and the answer was self-evident.

De Bruyne's 2012/13 loan spell at Werder Bremen made 33 appearances, playing 2,966 minutes, contributing 10 goals and nine assists.

But his pass completion rate is just a measly 76.5 per cent.

Werder Bremen is not as strong as Bayern and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, but it is not bad either.

This pass success rate is really unsatisfactory.

This reminded Yang Hao of what Pep Guardiola had said about David Silva and De Bruyne in his previous life.

'The reason why I've been so successful in Manchester and Barcelona is because of the midfielders.

'Xavi is a very controllable, energetic player, the ball is almost never lost at his feet, he is able to control the tempo of the game and determine the right acceleration through his perfect game reading.

"It's like Xavi, but he's always changing the tempo of the game."

'David is a mix of two, he can decide the game by himself, he knows all the time when to control the tempo and when to accelerate.

'Kevin has a lot of energy, but he's not a player who controls the tempo of the game, he's more dynamic, he's got a lot of quality in the back, he shoots and crosses, and he's able to get out of every corner of the pitch, attacking and defending.

'He's an all-round player but he rarely has the ball and when he slows down, he can't be as efficient and precise as Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Silva.

The comments from Pep Guardiola undoubtedly illustrate the characteristics of these four midfielders.

After losing consecutive tournaments in Belgium, Yang Hao heard a voice.

If it is not De Bruyne but Modric who sits in the Belgian midfield, then the strength of the European Red Devils will be even better.

To say this is not to disparage De Bruyne.

The players all have their own strengths and weaknesses, De Bruyne has a long strength, a short short, put him in a tactical environment that suits him, he is a player who can play at a very high level.

But players such as Luka Modric and David Silva are more well-rounded.

The main reason why Yang Hao suddenly recalled this sentence is that if he still intends to continue to coach Atletico Madrid, De Bruyne will have an appetite for him, and in the passing and cutting tactical system, De Bruyne will be like a fish in water.

But next, it was Pep Guardiola who was at the helm.

Pep Guardiola clearly prefers players with excellent possession skills.

Needless to say, Toni Kroos's stable pass success rate is above 90%, and Modric is basically around 90%.

David Silva, despite being more upfront, is also stable above 85 per cent, close to 90 per cent.

Guardiola's admired Barcelona youngster Thiago is basically above 90%.

Both Cork and Isco are above 85%.

You know, Isco is in a very high position.

Pogba is tall, but his pass completion rate in La Liga is also around 85%.

Even Javi Martinez has a pass completion rate of 84.3 per cent at Athletic Bilbao and 87.7 per cent at Real Madrid.

From this, it can be seen that De Bruyne's pass success rate is really low.

The pass success rate alone certainly doesn't represent De Bruyne's true level, after all, what the Belgian is best at is the last pass, and that's where he is most valuable.

But on the question of whether to bring in De Bruyne, Guardiola chose to oppose.

Because he feels that Atletico now have players who are more suited to his tactics than De Bruyne.

Yang Hao can only choose respect.

……

After several rounds of negotiations and contacts from many parties, Atletico's asking price gradually scared off other teams.

Although it has the blessing of Yang Hao's hand-picked aura, not all teams are willing to offer sky-high prices.

The "final" was reached by two Premier League teams in search of talent, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Pogba's physicality and excellent technique at his feet have made them salivate over the young French midfielder.

What's more, Atletico Madrid's youth training, Yang Hao hand-picked, Pogba will definitely become a world-class midfielder in the future.

As a result, Manchester United and Chelsea are vying for a high price.

In the end, it was Manchester United who came out on top, guaranteeing a minimum of 45 million euros, and an additional offer of up to 15 million euros based on the performance of the next two years, and successfully won the talented French midfielder.

David Moyes, who replaced Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, is very pleased with the signing of Paul Pogba for a total of 6,000 euros.

He is convinced that the talented French midfielder is the player United need.

……

Pogba's transfer is just one of the sights of this summer's La Liga shopping carnival.

In the 2013 summer transfer market, there was no more exciting news than Real Madrid.

The Galacticos announced the signing of the long-coveted Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for a staggering €100 million.

The Welsh star has been chasing Real Madrid for two summers and finally arrived at the Bernabeu this year.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, the BBC duo is finally on the scene in La Liga!

Yang Hao has absolutely reason to believe that with the current level of medical care in La Liga and the importance of the player's body, Gareth Bale will definitely not be as fragile as in his previous life.

In addition to Real Madrid, other teams in La Liga are also strengthening their reinforcements, and they are all moving strongly.

Valencia first signed Colombian striker James Rodriguez from Portuguese Super League Porto for 45 million euros.

Carlo Ancelotti is very optimistic about the midfielder and believes he can strengthen Valencia's midfield attack.

Immediately afterwards, the Bat Army signed Argentine winger Lamela from Roma for a high price of 30 million euros.

Signed Stefan Jovetic from Serie A Fiorentina for 26 million euros.

Malaga signed Portugal international Moutinho from Porto for 25 million euros, while signing Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine for 40 million euros.

Manuel Pellegrini's side have big ambitions and want to make a splash in La Liga in the new season.

Equally ambitious is Getafe.

The team even beat Real Madrid in the transfer market to sign Real Sociedad's main defender Ilya Ramendi for a total cost of 35 million euros.

Benitez admires Ilya Ramendi as the best playmaker in Spain's new generation since Xavi Alonso, and he believes that Illah Ramendi and Mascherano can form the strongest double midfielder in La Liga.

Not only that, Getafe also signed central defender Benatia from Granada for a high price of 40 million euros, hoping that the central defender can form Getafe's central defensive combination for the new season together with Godin.

Rayo Vallecano signed Brazilian international wide player Willian from Anzhi under Cooper's plan, a transfer that cost Rayo Vallecano a whopping 40 million euros, but also beat rivals such as Chelsea.

In addition to these high-priced transfers of tens of millions of euros, other teams in La Liga are also bringing in reinforcements one after another.

For example, such as Bayern center Gomez, Dutch midfielder Strumman, Argentine central defender Demichelis, German winger Schurrle, Danish midfielder Eriksen, French central defender Mamadou Sako and so on.

La Liga's strong buying power is on full display in this summer transfer market.

Almost all teams are buying and buying like crazy.

Even a promoted horse like Villarreal, after returning to La Liga, has signed a group of talented young talents such as Strumman, Aubameyang, Marcos Alonso, and Icardi.

The head coach Marcelino, who led the team to success, is a young coach in Spain, and he is also full of confidence in the relegation of La Liga in the new season, and firmly believes that he can achieve revival in the new season with a group of young players in the team and this group of strong reinforcements in the summer transfer.

Whether it is a strong team or a weak team in relegation, they are recruiting everywhere.

This not only made the world see the prosperity of La Liga, but also made everyone feel the almost hellish cruel competition of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid's new season, the last season of Yang Hao's coaching career, began in this atmosphere.

(End of chapter)
