1468 Crazy Winter Window

"Have you made it clear?"

Seeing Yang Yang walking towards the noisy player's area, the chief executive Manuel Redondo and technical director Bardano both leaned towards Florentino and asked with concern.

Florentino nodded in disappointment, "Ajax announced the dismissal of the head coach today and he will take over in half a year."

Although they were prepared for this result, Redondo and Valdano were somewhat disappointed, because they were both expecting Florentino to keep Yang Yang, but the result was still disappointing.

"I heard that in recent rounds, the reason why Ajax has been able to defeat Feyenoord and Eindhoven repeatedly was that Yang Yang gave advice behind his back. At that time, I had a premonition that it would be a matter of time before the dismissal of coach Ajax."

When Bardano said this, he turned to look at Yang Yang who was being celebrated by Real Madrid teammates in the distance.

"Ferguson is right. Yang Yang has the talent for coaching. He has too strong insight and analysis skills in the game. Moreover, he has a very stable and calm personality. He can always make the most accurate and rational choices. This is very terrible. Zidane has said more than once that without Yang Yang, he would not have brought Real Madrid to his current achievements."

Florentino nodded slightly. He always knew that Yang Yang was not an ordinary person.

As a player, he is the best and most outstanding player in the history of world football. As a head coach, everyone familiar with Yang Yang unanimously believes that he will be the best and most successful head coach.

He became the chief assistant coach of Real Madrid's first team at the age of 29 and the head coach of Ajax at the age of 31. If he can really succeed in Ajax, he will be a genius in the field of professional head coaching in Europe.

"From this summer, we may lose a thirty-one-year-old superstar, but we will gain a thirty-one-year-old talented coach. You said, should I be happy or sad?" Florentino asked with a wry smile.

Bardano and Redondo looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"I think he is right. He is 31 years old. How many years can he play? His departure is not a good thing for Real Madrid. Take advantage of this opportunity to start a youthful restructuring, allowing young players such as Hazard, Asensio, Mbappe, Isco to take the lead as soon as possible and rebuild a younger Real Madrid."

Florentino is the helm of a European consortium. His mind and courage are far beyond what ordinary people can compare to. He can see further and think more thoroughly. So he is very clear that Yang Yang's departure is a short pain for Real Madrid, but in the long run, it is not a bad thing.

Over the past few years, Real Madrid has been considered Yang Yang's team, which is not a very healthy model, because it is too dependent on Yang Yang. If he is still young, there will definitely be no problem, just like Florentino has created a ten-year plan for him.

But now, Yang Yang is 31 years old.

To a certain extent, Yang Yang's choice to leave now is also a kind of retreat after success.

"By the way, Jorge, what do you think of Ajax?" Florentino suddenly became interested.

Bardano frowned, "I have learned that I am quite capable in the Eredivisie. Last season's Europa League also played a certain level, but this team lacks competitiveness in the Champions League, and many players have been poached this summer, and their strength has declined very quickly and there are many problems."

"He said he is optimistic about the potential of this team and his goal is to bring this team into the quarterfinals of the Champions League knockout stage within three years. Do you think this is possible?" Florentino asked with interest.

Bardano and Redondo looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"I'm afraid... it's very difficult." Bardano almost said it was impossible, but soon realized that there seemed to be nothing impossible for Yang Yang, and with Yang Yang's personality, he would definitely be sure that he would not say such words easily.

"I think so too." Florentino smiled softly, "The European football scene today is very different from that time. In this era of capital, if Ajax can really return to the Champions League knockout stage or even the quarterfinals with strong youth training, it would definitely be an anomaly."

"I know Yang Yang. He will not just pursue overnight results. What he wants is to rebuild Ajax into a star-making factory for European giants and find a sustainable business path. Stable Champions League results are very important, so I am very much looking forward to what stimulation and changes he will bring to Ajax and the entire European football world in the Netherlands."

At the end of the day, Florentino couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Yang has no pursuit in Real Madrid. He is eager to go to Ajax to show his understanding and experience of professional football over the past decade and his thoughts on football tactics through this team.

Florentino is also eager to see this scene, because it is definitely a good thing for Real Madrid.

With his relationship with Yang Yang, Real Madrid will definitely have priority for the players trained by Ajax. If Yang Yang can really lead Ajax to return to the ranks of European strong teams, he will also become famous and may become another Zidane and Guardiola. This is really too dreamy for Real Madrid.

"I always felt that when he returned to where his career started, his coaching career would definitely surprise everyone." Florentino said with anticipation.

…………

…………

Taking advantage of Real Madrid's Christmas dinner, Yang Yang and Florentino smashed rumors about the two of them, but the media still speculated that Yang Yang would leave Real Madrid after the end of this season.

Soon, the news became old news.

The year is approaching and the winter transfer is about to begin. At this time, Catalan media revealed that Barcelona has basically won Liverpool's number one star Coutinho and is willing to pay a transfer fee of up to 150 million euros for this Liverpool star, which immediately detonated the entire European football world.

Summer transfers are in full swing, and heavy transfers are endless. The Premier League burned a sky-high price of 1.6 billion euros, which created the craziest summer transfer ever. Serie A also invested more than 800 million euros. Ligue 1 was invested as much as 670 million because of Neymar, while Bundesliga was 580 million, La Liga was the least, with only 550 million euros.

It can be said that this is a crazy summer.

Now that the winter transfer is about to begin, all teams are ready to introduce strong aid during the winter break.

In addition to Barcelona's desire to introduce Coutinho, Atletico Madrid also salivates Chelsea's abandoned player Diego Costa, which will be an important signing for the Bedmont Army to strengthen its forward strength.

Sure enough, just after Christmas, Atletico Madrid couldn't wait to announce that they had bought center Diego Costa from Chelsea, with the transfer fee of up to 66 million euros. This well-known transfer quickly ignited the flames of the winter window transfer.

Soon, Barcelona also announced that it would introduce Brazilian midfielder Coutinho from Liverpool at a super sky-high price of 160 million euros. This transfer will be traded after the transfer window of the winter break. The transfer fee is divided into a basic transfer fee of 120 million and a floating transfer fee of 40 million euros, with a total value of 160 million euros.

Not only that, Coutinho's annual salary at Barcelona will also be as high as 23 million euros, which makes him one of the highest annual salary players in European football, second only to superstars such as Yang Yang, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.

In order to free up more salary space for Coutinho, Barcelona will also have to sell players including Turan, as well as youth training players such as Rafinia and Deulofeu.

...

The La Liga two heroes are crazy about investing, and the big tycoons are not idle at the Premier League either.

After selling Coutinho, Liverpool immediately became rich and immediately introduced defender Van Dijk from Southampton at a sky-high price of 80 million euros. This transfer created the highest defender transfer value in world football's history.

As for the vacancy after Coutinho's departure, Liverpool Echo revealed that the Reds targeted Lyon star Fekir and Ajax player Ziyech. Klopp was the first to extend an olive branch to Lyon's Fekir, hoping to bring the French player to Anfield Stadium.

As for Ziyech, this is Liverpool's B plan.

After selling Diego Costa, Chelsea first introduced midfielder Barkley from Everton for 17 million euros, then introduced French striker Giroud from Arsenal for 17 million euros, and finally introduced Emerson from Rome for 20 million euros.

The three transfers just took the profits from Diego Costa's transfer to Atletico Madrid.

After Arsenal lost Giroud, the team's top star Sanchez was also poached by Manchester United and Manchester City.

In the end, the Chilean star transferred from Arsenal to his arch rival Manchester United for 70 million euros. The sky-high transfer fee consists of Mkhitaryan plus the agency fee of the agent. Sanchez will also receive an annual salary of 23 million euros at Manchester United, which also makes him one of the highest-paid players in European football at the age of 29.

Manchester United coach Mourinho has a very high opinion of Sanchez, believing that this is a very successful transfer and will enhance Manchester United's competitiveness in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Subsequently, Arsenal introduced Gabon striker Aubameyang from Dortmund for a sky-high price of 64 million euros.

Manchester City, who missed Sanchez, introduced French central defender Laporte from Athletic Bilbao in La Liga for a sky-high price of 65 million euros. After losing Laporte, the Basque Lions quickly introduced Igor Martinez from Real Sociedad for 32 million euros.

Transfers have repeatedly detonated the European football market.

Everyone clearly saw that the originally dull winter window transfers have not only not become depressed by the hot summer this year, but have continued the crazy summer, and the transfer fees have also risen.
