Chapter 282 Arms Race! "Picked up" three world-class stars

2.5 million euros!

When Atletico Madrid and Valencia officially announced the most astonishing sky-high deal in football history, fans around the world were shocked beyond measure.

This is definitely the most incredible transfer deal in the history of world football.

One team actually spent a whopping 2.5 million euros to poach four players from another team.

To use the original words of many netizens: Wouldn’t it be nice if you went to acquire him directly?

But soon, a lot of netizens responded: Do you have any misunderstandings about Atletico Madrid?

2.5 million euros, is it worth buying Atletico Madrid?

Can I buy Kaka at this price? Can you buy Messi? Can Torres be bought?

Do you know how much Atletico Madrid players are worth?

This netizen who did not know the inside story was accused by Atletico Madrid fans of being autistic and never dared to speak out again.

Marca focused on analyzing the entire process of this transfer and also gave a conclusion.

Valencia and Atletico Madrid both made a very good deal.

First of all, signing these four players for 2.5 million euros is definitely a bargain.

Cech is the top two goalkeepers in world football today, and he is only 24 years old. According to his current age, there will be no problem in guarding the goalkeeper for another 10 years, and he will be the number one goalkeeper in the world in the future.

Lucio is the number one central defender in world football today, and there is no need to add another one after him.

Although Nesta has a great name, no matter whether it is the club or the national team, there is no champion like Lucio Dou.

As for Vidic, who was paid 5000 million euros by Barcelona and Real Madrid, sorry, he has not proven himself at all.

According to Marca's comments, the only thing that attracts Lucio to Valencia is that when the Brazilian has already achieved a Grand Slam, a wealthy club is willing to give him a five-year contract with an annual salary of up to 5 million euros. contract.

Who doesn't want it?

Fulfilling this contract means that Lucio will basically retire.

Needless to say, Antonio Lopez, although he is second to Evra in Atletico Madrid, but it can be seen from the performance of the Spanish national team that he is very capable and the best in Spain.

The same goes for Villa.

Even, his scoring efficiency in La Liga is not inferior to top stars such as Henry, Eto'o, and Ibrahimovic.

His only shortcoming before was that Kaka, Torres and Messi in the team were too eye-catching.

Under such circumstances, he naturally wanted to jump out of Atletico Madrid and go to a platform where he could better showcase his talents.

Marca believes that whether it is Villa, Antonio Lopez, Lucio or Cech, the decision to transfer is understandable, and they have also left Atletico Madrid with enough wealth. transfer fee.

Atletico Madrid officials also issued a message expressing congratulations on the transfer of the four stars and wishing them good luck in their new teams.

What is surprising is that usually, fans are not happy when teams transfer or sell players.

But Atletico Madrid fans didn't think there was any problem.

Many Atletico Madrid fans even left messages on the Internet, hoping that the four players who have transferred and left the team can continue their outstanding performance.

"Of course, the premise is not to score Atletico Madrid's goal."

Marca revealed that one of the important reasons why Atletico Madrid was forced to sell several of its stars was that in order to prepare for the construction of a new stadium, Atletico Madrid, together with the MSM Group, signed an agreement with the Madrid City Government. Old Town Renovation Agreement.

In addition to Atletico Madrid's completed new stadium, commercial residences and headquarters building, the agreement also includes the Twin Towers project.

The Twin Towers project is expected to invest more than 7 million euros and the project will last for 3 years. According to the shares, Atletico Madrid needs to invest 3.5 million euros.

This forces Atletico to raise the funds.

"In order to build this new stadium, Atletico Madrid has invested heavily in the past and will continue to invest more in the next few years."

Marca also revealed that Valencia actually tried to sign Kaka and even offered a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros, but Atletico Madrid sternly rejected it, saying that Kaka was not for sale to the team.

In addition, Chelsea of ​​the Premier League also made an offer of up to 1 million euros for Torres, but it was also rejected by Atletico Madrid.

There are even more teams pursuing Messi, including Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Marca said that Valencia received four stars in this transfer and formed a competitive lineup. In the new season, Valencia will definitely be a dark horse in La Liga. .

"Then it depends on how integrated Ancelotti is."

As for Atletico Madrid, after selling four stars, its overall strength has definitely been affected, but it is still one of the most powerful teams in world football today and is still the number one favorite to win La Liga this season.

……

Everyone focused on the star players in the transfer market, but no one noticed Atletico Madrid's other operation.

The two previously signed Chilean players, Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal, were brought to Spain by Atletico Madrid from the Chilean Colo-Colo Club, but Yang Hao turned around and loaned them both to Real Madrid. Mallorca.

Yang Hao specifically called the two players and said that Atletico Madrid did not have a place for them at present, so they were temporarily loaned to Mallorca.

Not only that, Yang Hao also made a special call to Aragones.

The Spanish Zhisou owed Yang Hao a huge favor before, but now that he received a call from Yang Hao, he immediately promised repeatedly that he would definitely train him well, so that Yang Hao could rest assured.

"Don't forget, I am also an Atletico Madrid fan!"

Every summer, Atletico Madrid's youth training camp releases a group of players, and then through layers of selection, a group of new youth training players are signed. All the lists are handed over to Yang Hao for review.

This has also been Atletico Madrid's traditional operation.

Yang Hao was mainly afraid that it would be a pity if he accidentally missed the great power in the future.

For example, didn’t Real Madrid miss David Silva?

As the most densely populated urban area in Spain, the Madrid metropolis also hides many youth training treasures.

For example, in 02, Atletico Madrid once wanted to invite Daniel Carvajal from Leganes in the southern suburbs of the city to receive youth training in Mahadajonda.

Torres was born in Fuenlabrada, just near Leganes. In the surrounding areas, Atletico Madrid's influence is still quite large, but what is the result?

Real Madrid suddenly came out and snatched away this talented local youngster with more generous terms.

That year, Carvajal was only 10 years old.

In 05, a 7-year-old boy with dual Spanish and Moroccan citizenship emerged from the Getafe youth academy's youngest age group, named Achraf Hakimi.

Because of his eye-catching performance among teams of the same age and his high speed, he stood out and naturally attracted the attention of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

This time Atletico Madrid took the lead and recruited Achraf Hakimi.

Cases like this happen every year.

It even often happens that players in Atletico Madrid's youth training camp are poached by other teams. Yang Hao is already used to this. After all, Atletico Madrid's youth training camp has also been well-known in recent years.

Every summer, Atletico Madrid opens youth training selections and signs many youth team players.

Yang Hao usually does not participate in such activities. He usually waits until they have finished processing and submits a list for Yang Hao to review. After all, his energy and time are limited, and he cannot do everything by himself.

Besides, in the past few years, the horse racing competition has already established a set of procedures for selecting talents.

People in the youth training department will select players suitable for Atletico Madrid based on their technical and tactical characteristics.

But this year, he just ended his vacation early and returned to Madrid, so he naturally took the opportunity to come over.

……

Today's Atletico Madrid is already one of the most famous football teams in the world.

Every year, a large number of young players from all over Spain gather in Mahadajonda to participate in Atletico Madrid's youth training selection.

The grand occasion reminded Yang Hao of the scene when he blocked David Silva at the gate of Real Madrid Sports City.

He still remembers that he looked at Real Madrid's sports city and felt extremely envious. He looked forward to when Atletico Madrid would be like Real Madrid, with countless young players coming to participate in the selection.

Now, Atletico Madrid is not inferior to Real Madrid back then, and even far surpasses Real Madrid back then.

Thinking back on it, it really felt like a dream.

Walking into Mahadahonda, Yang Hao felt as familiar as going home.

Games were going on at the same time on several training grounds. Atletico Madrid's scouts and youth training coaches were watching, taking notes from time to time. Above their heads, there were cameras recording footage.

The data analysis team will also analyze player performance to provide assistance to coaches and scouts.

Yang Hao walked to the nearest field, where a competition for players aged 10 to 12 years old was going on.

All around were parents picking up their children to play football, and all of them shouted very hard.

They are all Atletico Madrid fans and are proud that their children can enter Atletico Madrid's youth training.

This not only means that they have the opportunity to play for Atletico Madrid, but also means that after being trained by Atletico Madrid, they have a good chance of becoming professional players, which often means getting rich.

Even players in the Spanish Second Division have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of euros, which is already considered a high salary.

"How are you, Manolo?" Yang Hao approached the youth training director Manolo Jimenez and asked.

The Spaniard, who has been working in Atletico Madrid's youth training for a long time, heard Yang Hao's inquiry and turned back in surprise, startled.

"Why are you back?"

"I came over to take care of something, and stopped by to take a look." Yang Hao replied with a smile, glanced around, and nodded: "It's very lively."

“The number of people invited to try out this year is at a record high,” said Manolo Jimenez.

As he spoke, he pointed to the forward of one of the teams and asked, "What do you think of that kid?"

Yang Hao followed his gestures and looked over, and found that this player really stood out from the crowd. He was good in size, strong in physical confrontation, and he was good at using his body, which gave him an advantage among his peers.

Of course, as a forward, physical confrontation is inevitable.

"He's from Mahadahonda Lightning."

"The one next door to us."

"Yes, this club really has a lot of treasures this year."

"Don't they cooperate with us?" Yang Hao asked.

"We have supported them in recent years, but there is nothing we can do about this kid."

"Why?" Yang Hao was surprised.

Lightning Mahdahonda is less than 100 meters away from Atletico Madrid's Mahdahonda, just a short walk away.

"The people from Inazuma Mahadajonda told me early on that he would go to Real Madrid."

Yang Hao was a little confused, "How to say?"

"He is Paco Llorente's son, Marcos Llorente."

Yang Hao suddenly realized.

It turns out to be the Crown Prince of Real Madrid.

Speaking of which, this kid really can't dig it.

However, their family has a really deep connection with Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

To understand in detail why Marcos Llorente is called the Prince of Real Madrid, it is quite complicated. Even in Yang Hao's previous life, many fans misunderstood him.

The first person to pay attention to is Paco Gento, the later honorary president of Real Madrid.

This is one of the greatest players in Real Madrid history.

Paco Gento has two younger brothers, Julio Gento and Antonio Gento, all three brothers came from Real Madrid.

The three Gento brothers have a sister who married into the Llorente family and gave birth to two children. The eldest is named Paco Llorente. She came from the Atletico Madrid youth training, but she joined Real Madrid as an adult and was selected for the Spanish national team at Real Madrid. Team.

The second child is Julio Llorente, who went directly to Real Madrid's youth training, but has only played for the Spanish National Youth Team.

While the eldest brother, Paco Llorente, was playing for Real Madrid, he met the daughter of Real Madrid star Ramon Grosso, who was coaching at Real Madrid at the time. The two got married and gave birth to Marcos Llorente.

In Yang Hao's previous life, many people had always misunderstood and thought that Ramon Grosso was Marcos Llorente's grandfather, so it was strange.

Why is one named Llorente and the other named Grosso?

The reason is, my grandson.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Marcos Llorente was most famous for his positional conflict with Valverde. At that time, Real Madrid chose Valverde among the two and sent Marcos Llorente to Atletico Madrid.

At that time, it was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong in these two transactions.

After Marcos Llorente went to Atletico Madrid, his performance was also very good. However, as the right back was lacking, Simeone moved him to the full-back position. As a result, Marcos Llorente's performance gradually declined. , coupled with injuries...

Yang Hao remembered that before he traveled through time, Marcos Llorente was no longer what he used to be.

On the contrary, Valverde is in full swing.

But does Marcos Llorente play as a forward in the youth team?

Yang Hao really doesn’t remember.

Judging from the relationship between their family and Real Madrid, Marcos Llorente probably will still go to Real Madrid.

……

Yang Hao has never been interested in players that he cannot recruit.

Marcos Llorente just came here to see the world with the majadahonda lightning.

Yang Hao's attention was quickly attracted by several other players.

"Who are those three people?" Yang Hao pointed at the three players on the court and pointed them out one after another.

Manolo Jimenez suddenly laughed, "Did you notice it too?"

"The two at the back are the children of former Rayo Vallecano player Jean Francois Hernandez. One is 9 years old and the other is 10 years old. The older one is named Lucas Hernandez, and the younger one is named Lucas Hernandez. His name is Theo Hernandez.”

"Is it all Mahadahonda Lightning?" Yang Hao was a little surprised.

"Yes, but their parents are divorced and they now live with their mother, Lawrence, near Mahadahonda."

Isn't this small club too awesome?

This year is full of talents.

"Both the Llorente family and the Hernandez family live near Mahaldahonda, so naturally the lightning will be sent to Mahaldahonda nearby." Manolo Jimenez said with a smile.

There's really no secret to this, the main thing is...it's close to home.

Of course, Mahadahonda Lightning’s youth training has indeed done well in recent years.

and many more.

The three Hernandez brothers!

Then wouldn’t the remaining one be Rodri?

What the hell!

"The remaining one is Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante, nicknamed Rodri. He performed well and has excellent foot skills." Manolo Jimenez introduced Yang Hao.

It's indeed Rodri!

Mahadahonda Lightning is really going to defy the heavens.

Four stars appeared at once, it was incredible!

The key is that these four players have great strength and potential.

The Hernandez brothers are both at the level of first-tier European stars. As for Rodri, he was definitely the best and most comprehensive defensive midfielder in European football before Yang Hao crossed over, and he may even be the next one.

When Yang Hao thought of this, he immediately felt secretly happy, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Look, how are these three brats?"

"The Hernandez brothers have great potential, and Rodri is just okay. I plan to sign them both, what do you think?"

Yang Hao nodded, "I respect your opinion, just make up your mind."

Manolo Jimenez immediately beamed with joy and felt that he had been entrusted with an important task by Yang Hao.

that's the truth.

Before Yang Hao crossed over, some people said that Rodri was the second-generation ball-blind filter after Busquets, and he was not taken seriously in the Atletico Madrid youth training camp. He was later expelled and was kicked out after going to Villarreal. .

But now, Yang Hao will definitely not miss him again.

As the head coach of Atletico Madrid and the boss of the Sheets, Yang Hao actually cannot interfere too much in many things.

Cross-level intervention is a taboo in management.

And it is easy to give people a feeling of privilege, which is very detrimental to the growth of young players.

Therefore, Yang Hao never expressed an opinion and just let nature take its course to see how these players will develop next.

But he will adopt a curved policy to save the country. "Manolo, I believe in your vision. You must train them well when the time comes. I believe they will become our pillars in the future!" Yang Hao praised.

Manolo Jimenez felt that he had been praised by Yang Hao, and he was elated. He immediately decided secretly that these three little devils must be cultivated more.

Well, there’s also the one named Achraf Hakimi.

They are all players who can bring him good luck.

But little did he know that after Yang Hao turned around and left, he could not suppress the joy in his heart.

He even wanted to post an anonymous post on the Internet and ask the omnipotent netizens: How to celebrate after suddenly "picking up" three world-class stars?

Well, go home and discuss it with Blake Lively.

……

In the Bundesliga last season, Schalke 04 defeated Bayern, Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen and ranked second in the Bundesliga, second only to Stuttgart.

This has made the outside world full of expectations for Schalke 04, believing that this team is very likely to win the Bundesliga championship.

But in fact, anyone who is familiar with and understands Schalke 04 knows that it is basically impossible not to rush forward last season.

Because this team is heavily in debt and is forced to start selling people to pay off the debt.

According to current public information obtained by Yang Hao, Schalke 04's debt has exceeded 2000 million, and it is still increasing at an extremely fast rate. They are losing money every year, with losses ranging from 3000 million to million euros.

Speaking of Schalke 04's debt, we have to start with their magnificent Schalke Stadium, uh, maybe it should be called Veltins Stadium now.

This stadium cost nearly 2 million and is famous for its retractable roof and removable turf.

When Atletico Madrid was planning to build a new stadium, they visited it, but the venue conditions in Madrid did not allow it.

The movable turf at Veltins Stadium actually moves the entire lawn from under the stadium stands to outside the stadium through tracks laid in advance, so that the inside of the stadium can be used for other purposes. It takes about 4 hours.

However, the Veltins Stadium is located in a remote area with nothing around it, so it is natural to do this. However, the land in the center of Madrid is very precious, and it is impossible for Atletico Madrid to push out the turf again.

Because of this, Atletico Madrid ultimately shelved the plan for a removable lawn, but reserved space for future modifications.

The construction of the Veltins Stadium, coupled with the bankruptcy of the Bundesliga broadcaster Kirch Group, has caused Schalke 04 to be in financial difficulties since the beginning of the century. In the past few years, they have continued to sign in.

Borden, Elton, Lincoln, Rafinha, Ernst and Kuranyi all joined in the past few years.

Another characteristic of Schalke 04's signings is that they often sign players who are around 28 to 30 years old. They seem to be ready to fight, but their annual salary is relatively high, and once they enter their 30s, their status is prone to fluctuations.

This resulted in Schalke 04's performance fluctuating greatly.

Last season they finished second in the Bundesliga.

The debt of the new stadium, coupled with the problem of signings and the team's salary expenditure, have caused Schalke 04 to be overwhelmed.

Therefore, this summer, they had to sell Lincoln, as well as some players such as Dead Fish Eyes and Hammett Altintop who cannot be named, to take this opportunity to relieve the team's debt pressure.

When Atletico Madrid came calling, Schalke 04 had little resistance.

Because before finding them, there were continuous rumors that Atletico Madrid wanted to sign Rene Adler.

Even when Atletico Madrid officially made an offer for Manuel Neuer, everyone still felt that this was putting pressure on Adler's negotiations?

Schalke 04, who are short of money, will basically not reject the offer from Atletico Madrid under such circumstances.

And Neuer is indeed worthy of Atletico Madrid's favor.

In the Bundesliga last season, Neuer was elected as the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga. In 27 games, he had 1 assist and conceded 21 goals. He performed very well.

Moreover, he is only 21 years old.

More importantly, Kahn has not retired yet, and Bayern still firmly believes that Lensing can seamlessly replace Kahn's main position. In this case, Bayern naturally has no need to consider other signings.

Therefore, with almost no competition, Atletico Madrid successfully negotiated for Manuel Neuer.

Neuer, whose worth was estimated at 700 million euros, was signed by Atletico Madrid for 1000 million euros.

After reaching an agreement with Schalke 04, Yang Hao made a special call to Neuer, and the two parties briefly exchanged a few words.

Yang Hao clearly told Neuer that Atletico Madrid had only one goal from beginning to end.

“I have always felt that a goalkeeper as good as you, with such excellent skills at his feet, should come to La Liga and play for a team with our style of Atletico Madrid. I even can’t wait to go to the training base in Mahadahonda. See you."

Manuel Neuer was a little flattered.

He was already very proud that Yang Hao could call him personally.

Therefore, he has repeatedly expressed that he is very much looking forward to joining Atletico Madrid and hopes to perform better under Yang Hao.

The two parties have agreed to meet and discuss in detail after Neuer arrives in Madrid.

"When the time comes, I'll treat you to dinner." Yang Hao extended the invitation generously.

……

As time goes by, transfers in major European leagues are also in full swing.

The arms race between La Liga and the Premier League has become the main theme of the European transfer market this year.

As of July, team transfers in the two major leagues have basically come to an end, and each club has basically completed its operations. All of them have created the highest transfer investment in the history of their respective leagues.

Among them, the Premier League's transfer investment reached 5.8 million euros, setting a new record in Premier League history.

This includes teams such as Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City and Sunderland, all of which have invested more than 5000 million euros.

On the contrary, teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have generally tightened their money supply.

The Red Devils and Manchester United only signed Hargreaves this summer, and there has been little movement elsewhere.

Originally, Ferguson wanted to sign Tevez, but Mourinho's Barcelona took the lead.

They wanted to poach Nani and Anderson from Valencia, but Valencia rejected them directly.

Hargreaves spent 1700 million pounds, but the transfer of Alan Smith, Rossi and Lisandron earned 1750 million pounds, and Manchester United also made 50 pounds.

Needless to say Chelsea.

The Blues had a falling out with Mourinho before. The Portuguese madman wanted to sign players, but Chelsea tightened their money.

Arsenal are as poor, poor, poor as ever.

Although the Premier League has invested a lot of money, in fact, more investment comes from teams such as Tottenham, Sunderland and Manchester City.

Among them, Manchester City's investment comes from Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

If the Premier League's historic investment of 5.8 million is enough to shock fans around the world, then La Liga's transfer investment this summer has reached a height that shocked everyone.

The 20 La Liga teams invested 8.1 million euros in the transfer market, far behind the Premier League.

Among them, Valencia spent 4 million euros to sign 2.5 players from Atletico Madrid. Coupled with the introduction of other players such as Aquilani, the Bat Legion has become the most powerful buyer in European football this summer. .

Barcelona followed closely behind, ranking second with 1.5 million euros.

These two giants contributed 4 million euros in transfer fees.

It can be said that La Liga completely defeated the Premier League in this arms race.

But that's only part of it.

According to statistics from authoritative media, a large part of the Premier League's transfer fee investment actually comes from their local players.

For example, West Ham United spent a total of 1250 million euros to sign Dyer from Newcastle.

Aston Villa signed Leo Koke from West Ham United for €1300 million.

Black Cat Sunderland signed 24-year-old Scottish goalkeeper Craig Gordon from Hearts in the Scottish Premier League for a total of 900 million pounds, which is almost 1400 million euros.

This premium is no longer unusually high.

Atletico Madrid signed Manuel Neuer, the best player in the Bundesliga last season, from Schalke 04 for only 1000 million euros. Can Krag Gordon be sold for 1400 million euros?

Isn't this outrageous?

Why does he sell it so expensively?

Without him, the household registration book!

Compared with the Premier League, La Liga's transfer signings are obviously more pragmatic.

For example, Zaragoza signed D'Alessandro from Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga for only 350 million euros.

Real Mallorca only spent 500 million euros to sign Guissa, who performed well last season, from Getafe.

As for the striker who also scored a lot of goals, Everton signed Yakub from Middlesbrough for 1750 million euros, which was three times as much as Guisa.

Authoritative media analysts believe that such a direct comparison is too absolute. After all, the transfer market negotiations are complicated, but the high transfer rate of local British players and the high transfer rate between Premier League teams is not new.

"Many people may find it strange that since the transfer value of players from the European continent is lower, why doesn't the Premier League look for players from the European continent?"

"This involves many problems, including the difficulty in adapting to the league style, the fact that Bundesliga teams and Premier League teams are mortal enemies of each other, etc. More importantly, in the past two years, La Liga has begun to compete in French Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Netherlands, Belgium and Teams such as the Portuguese Super League are buying up players aggressively, which has caused the Premier League, which does not have an advantage, to suffer even more losses."

Huge sums of money have been invested in the Premier League's transfer market, but the overall strength of the team has not significantly improved.

Judging from the past Champions League and UEFA Cup competitions, La Liga is the strongest club in European football today.

"Teams such as Sevilla and Deportivo are all capable of defeating the top clubs in the Premier League in European competitions. This is enough to prove that the strength of the entire La Liga is indeed ahead of the Premier League."

Authoritative media believe that this gap in strength is likely to continue to widen.

La Liga players are not worth much, but they cost more than 8 million euros, while Premier League players are worth more, and only cost 5.8 million euros. This is enough to prove that the overall strength of La Liga is greatly improved.

As for Serie A, after Juventus returned to Serie A, the Old Lady became the team that invested the most in the transfer market, investing a total of 5500 million euros, which is already the first in Serie A.

The team that invested the most in the Bundesliga was Bayern Munich, which only invested 4500 million euros to sign players such as Luca Toni and Klose.

Judging from the situation in Europe as a whole, La Liga and the Premier League are still playing the leading roles.

But unlike in the past, La Liga today has gradually shown more and more powerful purchasing power, not only starting to compete with the Premier League, but even showing signs of surpassing the Premier League.

In response, many British media have written summaries of the transfer market and called on Premier League teams to pay attention.

If this continues, the Premier League's most profitable league may be replaced by La Liga.

……

After Yang Hao participated in the team's youth training selection, he gave himself a few more days to make up for his vacation, and then returned to Mahadahonda to start preparations for the new season.

With the schedule freshly released, Atletico Madrid is also preparing intensively.

Last season's Triple Crown has put pressure on this season's team.

For example, two Spanish Super Cups and one European Super Cup will be played before the season. In addition, the Club World Cup will be played midway through the season.

The most outrageous thing is that the first round of La Liga this season is the Madrid Derby.

This makes everyone feel incredible.

Yang Hao even suspected that the guy who made this schedule really understood the essence of Hollywood.

Isn’t the standard business model of American blockbusters that there will be a bombshell at the beginning, which will make you dizzy, and then start to follow the plot?

But there is indeed a lot to watch in the first round.

In addition to the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu, Deschamps' Super Depor will face Emery's Almeria at home.

Ancelotti's Valencia will face Pellegrini's Villarreal at home.

Mourinho's La Liga debut will be an away game against Marcelino's Racing Santander.

These games are all real tough battles.

Every game is very interesting to watch, but also very difficult to play.

There is one thing on the schedule that Yang Hao and the coaching staff need to pay attention to, that is, due to participating in the European Super Cup, the second round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid's home game against Real Mallorca, will be postponed.

It is currently postponed to December.

Because 08 is the year of the European Cup, La Liga's schedule will be relatively compressed, and double matches a week will become the norm.

After Yang Hao returned to Mahadahonda, in addition to preparing for the summer training camp and a series of preparations for the new season, another very important task was to communicate with the returning players in advance.

This is mainly because the team sold four stars this summer. Cech, Lucio, Villa and Antonio Lopez have all made outstanding contributions to Atletico Madrid in the past.

Yang Hao needs to have a good talk with the players and also feel their psychology.

Especially several players who have good relationships with them.

Just like a central defender.

Lucio has always been the core of Atletico Madrid's defense over the past few years, especially after Carvalho left the team, his importance has been further highlighted.

The three central defenders, Thiago Silva, Ramos and Pepe, can all be said to have been brought out by Lucio.

Now that Lucio has left the team, Yang Hao must be reassigned and arranged.

Yang Hao needs to understand clearly the thoughts of the three players.

The same goes for goalkeeper Petr Cech.

After goalkeeper coach Pedro Haro signed Neuer at Atletico Madrid, he began to communicate with Neuer to learn about some of his training in Germany and some of their daily habits.

Every country has a different style of football, and the training of players is also different.

Yang Hao clearly remembered that Van der Sar had mentioned to Yang Hao that after he transferred from the Netherlands to Italy, he was very unaccustomed to training, and the Italian goalkeeper coaches basically would not listen to him.

This is something Atletico needs to take warning from.

What is particularly alarming is that in Yang Hao's previous life, Hildebrand, who performed very well in Germany, completely fell into decline after moving to Valencia, and has never been able to regain his former glory.

Yang Hao doesn't want Neuer to make the same mistake again because of his move to Atletico Madrid.

In order to help Neuer integrate more into the team, Pedro Haro has made preparations in advance and even communicated with Schalke 04 goalkeeper coach Oliver Lake many times.

Oliver Lake is a legendary player in the Bundesliga, setting a record of 172 clean sheets, second only to Kahn.

Before retiring, he worked at Schalke 04 as a player and goalkeeper coach.

Pedro Haro mainly asked him to understand Neuer's training situation at Schalke 04 and the arrangements for some training projects.

All of this is to better help Neuer integrate into the team.

In addition, Atletico Madrid also prepared a translator proficient in German and Spanish for him in advance.

The translator will also stay with him for some time to come, teaching him Spanish, and even following the team to Australia and Asia for summer training and preseason games.

Neuer came to Madrid before the team training.

Atletico Madrid's resettlement staff not only arranged a hotel for him to stay in, but also identified several residences for him so that he could choose on his own. Yang Hao also had his first face-to-face conversation with Mahdahonda.

Yang Hao attaches great importance to this German goalkeeper.

He told Neuer that he hoped he could integrate more into the team's passing system.

"Passing, running, controlling the ball, these are our football concepts at Atletico Madrid."

Yang Hao even said that he became interested in Neuer after seeing him take the ball and pass the ball many times in the game.

"When I saw you perform, I knew for sure that you were the player we wanted, for sure."

Neuer is only 21 years old now. He has just played a wonderful season and came to a super wealthy club. It is unrealistic to say that he is not cautious, but he still behaves confidently.

Yang Hao also told him, "I believe in you, Manuel, don't be pressured, play your heart out, you will become the best goalkeeper in the world!"

After all, it was his reputation and Yang Hao's praise that greatly benefited Neuer. He repeatedly emphasized that he would do his best.

The old captain Baraja also returned to the team early, and he was responsible for taking Neuer to get familiar with Mahdahonda. He also arranged various matters for him at the training base, including wardrobe.

Compared with Neuer, Toni Kroos returned to the team before the team training.

He also reported directly to the first team, but the difference is that he has been learning Spanish in the past two years, so he does not need a translator now.

It is worth mentioning that although Toni Kroos and Neuer are 4 years apart, they have met during the training of the National Youth Team, but they are in different age groups.

This time the two are at Atletico Madrid, but Toni Kroos and Neuer seem to be more cordial.

As for Marcelo, although he is new here, he has actually been to Atletico Madrid many times before and has met Yang Hao several times, so he is mentally prepared to return to Atletico Madrid.

This time when he went out for training, Yang Hao specially brought Hazard with him.
