With Xiao Qi's strong recommendation, Ma Yun was quite interested in Simeone.
Although it is not possible to say that he will change his mind immediately, it is possible that he will make a good decision after returning.
To be honest, Xiao Qi really thinks Simeone is very good.
It's not just because Simeone will be very good at Atletico Madrid in the next few years, leading Atletico Madrid to go all the way, almost having the posture to dominate Europe.
It's because Simeone himself has outstanding talents.
Like Mourinho, he is famous in the coaching field at a young age, but his fame is different from Mourinho's.
Mourinho is a master of defensive counterattacks and is used to squeezing the team's capabilities. Once he succeeds, the team will definitely fall into a trough for several years. This is true whether it is in Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, or Real Madrid.
So true.
Simeone is different. While he advocates defense, he also likes to attack. He uses strong strength to attack the enemy's defense line and uses a tough attitude to deal with the enemy's forward line.
But he is very good at training and coaching the team's players. A team will never rely on just a few people. Often, after a season, the team can at least produce several famous players under his hands.
Rising Star.
Simeone can also get along well with players, which is different from coaches like Mourinho who are always feuding. Only those who can get along well with players will not be killed by them and dismissed sadly.
Similarly, Simeone does not treat the team management, fans, and media as well as Mourinho. Although there are times when he has a bad temper, he can basically control it within the tolerable range. A good person
Coach, if you don't have a little temper, you really can't mess around.
For example, the gentle Professor Wenger once cursed Ferguson; Sir Alex even made the shocking statement "If you give me two bullets, I will give one to Wenger and leave one to 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 in the past few years and the following years, it is estimated that this guy's path will become narrower and narrower in the future. If no major changes are made, he may regress from the ranks of top coaches.
Go down.
Simeone, on the other hand, is just the opposite. If he can maintain the attitude he has had over the years, then it is very likely that within three to five years, he will become a first-class coach and maintain it.
After Simeone left Argentina in his previous life, he came to Atletico Madrid. Now if he comes to the Premier League with a better environment and a boss who is more supportive of him, I think his development prospects will be even brighter!
Speaking of the reason why Xiao Qi didn't invite Simeone, it wasn't that he was worried about wasting Simeone's talent, but that it was simply unrealistic!
According to the trajectory of his previous life, if Ma Yun did not invite Simeone, he would take over Atletico Madrid at the end of this year, and then directly create a myth of winning the UEFA Cup, thus establishing his position in Atletico Madrid, and for the future La Liga championship.
Launch a strong impact on the Champions League champions.
What Xiao Qi has in hand now is Lippi.
In terms of ability, Lippi is not inferior to Simeone at all, and Lippi has passed the competitive and unruly era and is now more like an old fox, so he is most suitable to coach a start-up team like Sichuan Fairy Team.
, to clarify the team's context.
Let Simeone rush to replace Lippi, not to mention Xiao Qi's unwillingness, the fans will definitely not like it either.
Of course, Xiao Qi doesn't care whether the fans like it or not. I am the one who pays the most, so you can just wait and see the results.
However, Lippi has enough patience to stay in China, and Simeone is only 41 years old and definitely yearns for a broader stage. Therefore, Xiao Qi estimates that even if he fires Lippi and hires Simeone, he will not be able to work in China for at least two or three years.
If you have to leave, you might as well 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 adjusting and making progress. He has not yet finalized his own skills. How can he teach Gao Bo?
Therefore, the inner skin is better and more suitable.
Although there is no way to use Simeone in China, if Ma Yun is really interested in buying a football team in Europe, Xiao Qi will definitely want to keep Simeone in his hands.
It is a pity that Xiao Qi promised Ma Yun that he has absolute operational autonomy in Alibaba. Even if it is such a matter as buying a team, Ma Yun can make the decision by himself without asking Xiao Qi for instructions.
The fact that he could tell Xiao Qi in advance was already an expression of great respect for a person like Ma Yun.
For talented geniuses, Xiao Qi certainly won't mind why you did this thing today without consulting me, the boss, and why you did that thing tomorrow without consulting me, the boss... The useless desire for control is not conducive to Ma Ma at all.
If this kind of genius is used, it will destroy Alibaba Group.
By destroying Alibaba Group, wouldn’t this mean destroying the Xiao family’s high-quality industry worth more than US$200 billion in the future?
Therefore, as long as he can hold 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 Ma Yun, with his character, can continue to work hard in Alibaba even when his shares have been almost weakened to the point where they can be ignored.
After talking about the coach, Ma Yun talked to Xiao Qi about the stars.
Although the purchase and sale of stars should be decided by the head coach, it is already common practice for team owners to purchase a few dazzling stars when they first arrive.
Even people like Mourinho can't say "I don't want it, please take it 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 Lin'an Green Team play in Lin'an, he praised the Shuchuan Fairy Team's superstar for not getting old, and it was a pleasure to watch.
Now that Alibaba Group wants to buy a Premier League team, it naturally needs to buy a few superstars, and they must be in their prime, so that they can match his personality.
"I thought about it. As for the stars, we still won't buy from the UK. Their domestic players are really bad and they are all over the top." Ma Yun said his decision straight to the point, "Qi Shao, what do you think we have?"
Are you sure you can invite one of Messi or Ronaldo to the team?"
Xiao Qi was shocked when he heard this: "You really dare to think about it, Director Ma!"
"Haha, I don't think it's realistic either. It's not about money, the key is that we don't have much competitiveness!" Ma Yun said, "If you want to recruit the world's top superstars, you have to be ranked in the Premier League for two or three seasons.
The top three will only be certain after at least entering the Champions League."
After a pause, he added: "I plan to choose two first-class stars myself, and then let the coach choose the rest of the players. The first is Mascherano in the midfield, and the other is Thiago in the backcourt.
What do you think, Master Erva Qi?"
Xiao Qi was shocked again.
He thought that with Ma Yun's flamboyant character, he would have to choose an eye-catching player like Cavani of Naples, Falcao of Porto, or Suarez of the Eredivisie. Why did he suddenly change his style and compete for two
What about the midfielder and backfield players who are incompetent?
Of course, that doesn't mean that Mascherano and Silva are not good.
On the contrary, these two are definitely super superstars in the midfield and backcourt, especially Thiago Silva, who is definitely one of the top three central defenders in the world today. With him in the team, it is equivalent to having a defense.
Dinghai Shenzhen!
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 law is no longer 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 retaining one's Premier League spot, launching an attack again is the safest choice.
As his thoughts passed, Xiao Qi gave Ma Yun a thumbs up, "Dr. Ma, I am really impressed by your cautiousness! I don't think you will have to pay a few more years of tuition before you can 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, Thiago Silva is easy to talk about. It's just a matter of money. This Maschera
He has only been at Barcelona for one year and has not won the Champions League trophy of his dreams, so it may not be easy to invite him."
"If you can't invite Xabi Alonso, it will be the same if you replace him." Xiao Qi said: "Anyway, Real Madrid respects superstars, and backcourt organizers like Xavi Alonso are easily ignored... Well, if you buy a trustee,
For Tenham Hotspur, Modric is enough, and you can buy another attacking midfielder."
The two people Xiao Qi mentioned had also come into Ma Yun's eyes, but he still felt that Mascherano was the best.
It's easy to poach people from AC Milan, just spend money until Lao Bei is dazzled. If 30 million is not enough, just 40 million; if 40 million is not enough, just 60 million. He will definitely be willing.
For a team like Barcelona that is not short of money, it is not easy to recruit people. This requires careful planning.
"I have two acquaintances in the UK, Branson and Duke Sage. When you go over to negotiate, I will introduce you to them. With their help, I believe Alibaba's acquisition of the team will be much easier.
"Xiao Qi said this to Ma Yun again.
"good!"
Ma Yun lowered his head and said, "If you don't tell me, I will ask for your help. We are all novices in the Premier League, so we still need familiar people to get things done! We are not afraid of spending money, but we are afraid of spending unjust money and not getting what we want."
The reward you deserve! Alibaba Group must win the first battle this time in order to live up to my plan!" (To be continued.)
