Age of Dreams

With Xiao Qi's strong recommendation, Ma Yun became somewhat interested in Simeone.

Although it is not possible to say that he will change his mind immediately, it is still possible for him to make a good decision after he returns.

To be honest, Xiao Qi really thinks Simeone is very good.

It's not just because Simeone will be very good in Atletico Madrid in the next few years, leading Atletico Madrid all the way, almost with a posture across Europe.

It's because Simeone himself has outstanding talent.

Like Mourinho, he is famous in the field of coaching at a young age, but he is not the same as Mourinho.

Mourinho is a master of defensive counterattacks, and he is used to desperately squeezing the team's ability. Once successful, the team will definitely fall into a trough for several years, whether it is in Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, or Real Madrid. That's right.

Simeone is different. While he advocates defense, he prefers offense, using strong strength to attack the enemy's defense line, and using a tough attitude to deal with the enemy's striker.

But he is very good at training the team's players. It will not happen that a team depends on only a few people. Often after a season, the team can at least produce several famous players in his hands. Nova.

At the same time, Simeone can get along well with the players, which is different from a coach like Mourinho who has feuds everywhere. Those who can get on well with the players will not be killed by them together and dismissed get out of class sadly.

Similarly, Simeone's treatment of the team's management, fans, and media is also not as good as Mourinho's. Although there are times of violent temper, they can basically be controlled within a tolerable range-a A good coach, if he doesn't have a little temper, he really can't be fooled.

For example, the gentle and gentle Professor Wenger once yelled at Ferguson; Sir Ferguson even released the shocking remarks of "If you give me two bullets, I will give Wenger one and leave one for Victoria".

So having a temper is not a bad thing, but it takes a lot of skill to master it.

According to Xiao Qi's attitude towards Mourinho's life and work in the past few years and the next few years, it is estimated that this guy's road will become narrower and narrower in the future. If he does not make major changes, he may regress from the ranks of super-class coaches go down.

Simeone, on the other hand, is just the opposite. If he can maintain the attitude of being a man and doing things over the years, it is very likely that within three to five years, he will be able to become a super-class coach and keep it.

After Simeone left Argentina in his previous life, he came to Atlético de Madrid. Now if he comes to the Premier League with a better environment and a boss who supports him more, he will have a brighter future!

Speaking of the reason why Xiao Qi did not invite Simeone, it was not because he was worried about wasting Simeone's talent, but because it was simply unrealistic!

According to the trajectory of the previous life, if Ma Yun does not invite Simeone, he will enter Atletico Madrid at the end of this year, and then directly create a myth of winning the UEFA Cup, thus establishing his status in Atletico Madrid and for future La Liga champions Launch a strong impact with the Champions League champion.

And Xiao Qi is holding Lippi now.

In terms of ability, Lippi is not inferior to Simeone at all, and Lippi has passed the age of being competitive, and now he is more like an old fox, so he is most suitable to coach a start-up team like the Shuchuan Fairy Team , Take care of the team's context clearly.

Let Simeone rashly replace Lippi, not to mention Xiao Qi's unwillingness, the fans certainly don't like it either.

Of course, Xiao Qi doesn't care if the fans like it or not. I pay the money, so I'm naturally the biggest one. Just wait and see the results.

However, Lippi has enough patience to stay in Huaguo, and Simeone is only 41 years old, and he definitely yearns for a wider stage, so Xiao Qi estimates that even if he fires Lippi and hires Simeone, it will take him two or three years at most. If you have to leave, it's better to keep Lippi for two or three more years.

Another point is that Lippi is definitely better than Simeone when it comes to how to teach his apprentices. At Simeone's age, he is just getting used to it and improving, and he has not finalized himself. How can he teach Gao Bo?

Therefore, Lippi is better and more suitable.

Although there is no way to use Simeone in China, but if Ma Yun is really interested in buying a football team in Europe, Xiao Qi definitely wants to hold Simeone firmly in his hands.

It's a pity that Xiao Qi promised Ma Yun that he has absolute management autonomy in Alibaba. Even for matters such as buying a football team, Ma Yun can make his own decisions without asking Xiao Qi for instructions.

He can tell Xiao Qi in advance, which is already a great respect for someone like Ma Yun.

For talented geniuses, Xiao Qi certainly wouldn't mind why you didn't ask me, the boss, for doing this thing today, and why you didn't ask me, the boss, for doing that thing tomorrow... The useless desire to control is not good for horses at all. If Yun Yun's genius is displayed, it will destroy the Alibaba Group.

The destruction of the Alibaba Group means the destruction of the Xiao family's high-quality industry worth more than 200 billion U.S. dollars in the future?

Therefore, as long as he can grasp the shares of Alibaba Group and ensure that he does not deviate from the general direction, Ma Yun can do whatever he wants.

This is also an important reason why with Ma Yun's heart, he can continue to struggle in Alibaba even when the shares have been weakened to a negligible level.

After talking about the coach, Ma Yun talked about the star with Xiao Qi.

Although the buying and selling of stars should be decided by the head coach, it is already a practice for team owners to buy a few dazzling stars when they first arrive.

Even people like Mourinho can't say "I don't want it, you give me back", let alone Simeone or Ancelotti.

Ma Yun also watches football games, so he is very interested in superstars.

The last time he watched the Shuchuan Fairy Team and the Lin'an Green X team play in Lin'an, he praised the superstar of the Shuchuan Fairy Team, and it was a pleasure to watch.

Now that the Alibaba Group is going to buy a Premier League team, naturally he also wants to buy a few superstars, and they are superstars in their prime, so that it fits his personality.

"I thought about it. For the stars, we still don't buy British players. Their domestic players are really bad, and they all play too much." Ma Yun said his decision straight to the point, "Qi Shao, do you think we have Are you sure to invite Messi or Ronaldo to the team?"

Xiao Qi was shocked when he heard this: "You really dare to think about it, Mr. Ma!"

"Hehe, I also think it's unrealistic. It's not about the money, the key is that we don't have much competitiveness!" Ma Yun said, "If you want to recruit world-class superstars, you have to be in the Premier League for two or three seasons. The top three, at least after entering the Champions Cup, can be sure."

After a pause, he continued: "I'm going to choose two first-class stars myself, and then let the head coach choose the rest. The first one is Mascherano in the midfield, and the other is Thiago Xi in the backcourt. Erva, how does Qi Shao feel?"

Xiao Qi was shocked again.

He thought that according to Ma Yun's flamboyant personality, he should choose Naples' Cavani, Porto's Falcao, or Eredivisie's Suarez. Why did he suddenly change his style and grab two players? What about the midfielders who don't show mountains or water?

Of course, it doesn't mean that Mascherano and Silva are bad.

On the contrary, these two are definitely superstars in the midfield and backcourt, especially Thiago Silva, who is definitely the top three central defenders in the world today. Having him in the team is equivalent to having a defense Dinghaishenzhen!

If someone who really understands football is faced with the above two choices, they will probably choose Mascherano and Silva.

Winning depends on defense, and championship depends on defense. This kind of law is not a year or two. What really depends on the effect is how good your defense is.

Especially for a team that has undergone major changes, defense is definitely the most important part.

On the basis of keeping one's own Premier League place, launching an impact is the safest choice.

While thinking, Xiao Qi gave Ma Yun a thumbs up, "Mr. Ma, you are so cautious, I really admire you! I don't think you will have to pay tuition fees for a few more years to succeed in the Premier League."

"Hahaha, that's right! I know which ones are gimmicks and which ones are real." Ma Yun smiled without humility, "But it's just a matter of money, Thiago Silva said. Nuo has only been in Barcelona for a year, and he has not won the Champions League trophy that he dreamed of, I am afraid it will not be easy to invite."

"If you can't invite it, it's the same if you change Harvey Alonso." Xiao Qi said: "Anyway, Real Madrid respects superstars, and Harvey Alonso is easy to be ignored... Well, if you buy a trustee For Tenham Hotspur, Modric is enough, you can buy an attacking midfielder again."

The two people Xiao Qi mentioned were also in Ma Yun's eyes, but he still thinks Mascherano is the best.

It's easy for people who want to poach AC Milan, just spend money until Lao Bei is dazzled, 40 million if 30 million is not enough, and 60 million if 40 million is not enough, he is definitely willing.

For a team like Barcelona that does not lack money, it is not easy to poach people. This requires a good plan.

"In the UK, I have two acquaintances, Branson and Duke Saatchi. When you negotiate in the past, I will introduce you to them. With their help, I believe that Alibaba's acquisition of the team will be much easier. "Xiao Qi said to Ma Yun again.

"it is good!"

Ma Yun shook his head and said, "If you don't say it, I will ask you for help. We are all beginners in the Premier League, so it is better to have familiar people to handle things! We are not afraid of spending money, but we are afraid that we will not get it if we spend it wrongly." The due return! The Alibaba Group must succeed in the first battle this time, so as to live up to my plan!" (To be continued~^~)
