Chapter 657: Worth it!

After hearing Yang Huan’s question, Horabqin clearly flashed a look of helplessness in his eyes. There was a feeling that an ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see her in-laws. He hesitated a little, and finally spoke.
"The original Chelsea attitude was very tough and asked us to go to the Portuguese Super League, but we were worried that going to the Portuguese Super League would affect Oscar's position in the national team, so we refused."
Yang Huan nodded again and again. Regardless of Oscar's debut season in the Premier League, it can only be considered acceptable, but is it to gain a foothold at Chelsea and the main midfielder of the Brazilian national team. Such players leave the Premier League to play in the Portuguese Premier League?
As long as it is not a person with a broken brain, who would agree to such a stupid thing?
Besides, the World Cup in Brazil is imminent. If Oscar loses the main position of the World Cup host Brazil because of leaving the Premier League and joining the Portuguese Super League, it will be a huge loss whether it is from a competitive level or a commercial level.
Therefore, letting Oscar go to the Portuguese Super League can only be regarded as Chelsea's wishful thinking.
Horabchin looked at Young Master Huan's expression, and seemed unmoved, and understood in his heart.
He has searched for teams in the upper and middle reaches of the Premier League, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Although some teams are also interested in Oscars, most of them still adopt a cold-eyed strategy.
The reason is simple, Chelsea’s asking price is too high!
"I talked to Granovskia and she told me that if Oscar is not willing to go to the Portuguese Super League, it is okay. As long as we can find a team and are willing to pay a 20 million euro transfer fee for Oscar, then Chelsea will Will let it go!"
Yang Huan frowned when she heard it, twenty million euros?
When Chelsea introduced the Oscars, they spent a total of 25 million euros. Now one year has passed. They are asking for 20 million euros, which is not too outrageous, but the question is, is anyone willing to do it?
Judging from Oscar's Premier League performance last season, there are bright spots, but the shortcomings are also obvious.
For example, his honesty and diligence, as well as his contribution to the offensive and defensive ends, but his pass success rate is low, for a midfielder who assumes a pivotal role, it is also quite lethal.
From all indications, Oscar is not good at serving as a core player, but more as a deputy.
There is no shortage of such players in Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and other teams, as is Southampton.
Is it worth spending 20 million euros to replace a midfielder?
Yang Huan couldn't help but hesitate.
Even if he is wealthy, he doesn't want to be used as a triumph. He has to consider whether the money is well spent, right?
Holabchin has been paying attention to Master Huan, and seeing his hesitation, he couldn't help but glance at his partner Bertolucci.
Both seem helpless, because they have been rejected by many teams!
At this time, Bertolucci, who had never spoken, spoke.
"I heard that Young Master Huan has always been very interested in youth training!"
Yang Huan raised his head, looked at the Brazilian super agent in front of him, and nodded, "Yes!"
Giuliano Bertolucci is an agent who has only recently emerged in Brazil in recent years, but it has risen very quickly. In addition, the original agent and the big crocodile Feigel and others have switched careers one after another, and he also and Horab Chin began to cooperate, so he naturally became the hottest broker in Brazil.
At present, almost all Brazilian players mixed in the Premier League, most of them come from their command.
For example, William of Tottenham Hotspur, Ramirez of Chelsea, Oscar, Lucas Piazon and so on.
"I believe that all clubs that value youth training cannot ignore South America."
Bertolucci's words were once again recognized by Yang Huan.
South America is rich in football genius, which is already well known in the world of football.
Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay are all established genius concentration camps. In recent years, Colombia and Chile have also risen very fast, making South American players always occupy a pivotal, even the most prominent position in world football.
All the teams that value youth training, who dares to ignore South America?
After seeing Young Master Huan nodding, Bertolucci was encouraged and continued: "In Brazil, I am confident that as long as? The players you like, I can help you win at the lowest price. In addition, we We can also cooperate with you in more aspects, for example, to help you set up a scout network in Southampton in Southampton!"
I have to say that this one is really attractive.
In the current professional football world, the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, and there are more and more types of jobs and categories. The labor cost of club management is rising steadily. It is quite expensive to establish and maintain a scouting network.
Just like Ajax, in his early years, he was very ambitious and wanted to go abroad and expand the youth training system to South America and Africa. At that time, Ajax even founded a football club in South Africa, which once attracted the attention of the football world.
But a few years have passed, and the South American strategy has long since been thrown away. Ajax in Cape Town is on the verge of bankruptcy, and Ajax itself cannot protect itself. In recent years, it has been more recent. It is to cut the budget for the scout system, abandon the African strategy, and refocus the main target on the Netherlands and the Nordic region.
Just imagine, even a veteran youth training team like Ajax cannot independently support a set of youth training system, so how can other teams be possible?
Looking at European football, no team's scout network can cover all regions.
So, what is the most typical approach?
Just like Barcelona's approach, their scout network is mainly concentrated in Spain, which is an important part of their entire scout network, because the so-called hukou players are urgently needed by any team.
As for the selection of talents outside of Spain, there are many tricks. For example, some players recommend themselves. It seems that Messi, who relied on his own relationship, recommended himself to Barcelona for trial training and was admitted.
Others are recommended by brokers or intermediaries with cooperative relationships.
What's interesting is that the identities of these middlemen are also diverse. Some are former Barcelona players, some are players' family or friends, and some are even recommended through various channels.
In short, there are any methods.
And they recommend players to Barcelona for only one purpose, that is, once the players they recommend pass the trial and are accepted, then they can get a considerable introduction fee from Barcelona.
But don't underestimate this, because for Barcelona, ​​the introduction fee may be 10,000 or 20,000 euros, or even a few thousand euros, which is very insignificant, but it is enough for ordinary people to support their family.
According to this model, in theory, Barcelona can spread its scouting network to all parts of the world.
But this is only a theory, in fact, it is difficult, and Barcelona also has its own set of professional full-time scouting system, there are about a dozen people, each person is responsible for a different area.
According to the process, a piece of player information is submitted to the Barcelona Scouting Department. After the initial review, Barcelona will first establish a file, and then arrange its own professional scouts for past inspections, or to watch a few games, or even long-term follow-up inspections.
Once you pass the inspection, you can invite trial training again. If you encounter some talented people, you can even sign a contract.
The advantage of such a scout network system is that the club does not invest much, but it can spread eyeliners all over the world. Once a newcomer emerges, the club can grasp the information for the first time.
But there are some disadvantages.
Because the goal of these agents and intermediaries is the referral fee, they often use the fisherman’s method of casting a net and submit player recommendation letters to multiple teams at the same time, so it is very easy for a player to appear immediately and immediately It was spotted by a large group of European teams, and even rushed to grab the situation.
Southampton’s past scouting network was mainly concentrated in the United Kingdom, but in the three years since Yang Huan’s acquisition, he has acquired Monaco and Atletico Madrid, completed the integration of scouting information, and the scouting network has also begun to spread towards the European continent.
The Saints’ youth training model mainly uses a similar operating model to Barcelona, ​​but it is different.
That is the data reform that Yang Huan has been promoting in the past!
The first is the recommendation link. Everyone can recommend players to Southampton by installing the Southampton mobile app, filling in detailed player recommendation information, and shooting player videos.
In Southampton, the club’s scout department will have special analysts responsible for tracking and analysis, preliminary screening, timely feedback, and interaction with recommenders.
At present, in this ring, Southampton collects nearly a hundred player recommendations every day. If it encounters some major events, there are more than a thousand player recommendations every day. Although the residuals of the players are uneven, there are often some. The so-called demon star that made people shine, attracted the attention of the Southampton scout team.
The next thing is almost the same as the scouting operation mode of other teams such as Barcelona.
In addition to simplifying the referral process, Southampton is also promoting the partner model.
For example, in Argentina, Southampton cooperated with Cesarini Football Club.
Hearing this name, I am afraid that many people will feel unfamiliar. His founder is the former Argentine international Jorge Solari, the uncle of the Argentine star Solari who has played for Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and he is also a former world player. The father-in-law of top midfielder Redondo.
The Cesarini Club is known as the West Point Military Academy of Argentine football. It has trained Argentine internationals including Demichelis and Mascherano. The second and third generations of the Solari family are also here. Trained in a football school.
The current 50% shareholder of this school is Messi!
The cooperation between Southampton and Cesarini is mainly in the fields of data training and analysis. By helping Cesarini to conduct scientific analysis of training data, Southampton improves and perfects the training of young players, and the latter’s training data and The analysis results are disclosed to Southampton.
This kind of cooperation is more beneficial to Southampton, because the data obtained is more detailed, it is more conducive to long-term tracking, and the operating cost is quite low~EbookFREE.me~ This is the scout network for all other teams Advantages that are impossible to possess.
More importantly, once these partners cooperate with Southampton, it is difficult to cooperate with other teams.
With time, the advantages of Southampton's entire scout network will be fully reflected.
Therefore, Southampton intends to expand its scout network and find more high-quality partners in the next few years. Brazil, the kingdom of football, is undoubtedly the most important area besides European football and Argentina. .
If you can have the assistance of Giuliano Bertolucci, who is familiar and familiar in Brazil, wouldn't it be even more effective?
You know, Bertolucci relies on this industry to eat, who else knows Brazilian football better than him?
Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help but laughed.
Isn’t it 20 million euros?
Not only can I get an Oscar, but I can also get Bertolucci's assistance. It's worth it!
