World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 547 "Three More" Team

The key battle of this difficult schedule is the two contests with the Salzburg Red Bull.

Considering the super strength of Real Madrid in this group, a qualifying place has almost been locked in advance.It is very likely that these two battles directly determine the ownership of another qualifying place in Group E.

Gao Yuan attaches great importance to this game, and has also conducted careful and meticulous research on the opponent of the Salzburg Red Bull.

Red Bull Salzburg is the overlord of the Austrian Super League. Gao Yuan has studied the history of this team and summed it up as "three mores": more money, more people, and more talents.

"Qianduo" means that their sponsors are strong, and they were acquired by the famous energy drink giant Red Bull in 2005.It has become one of the most capitalized clubs in world football.

"Many people" refers to their signings regardless of cost.Since Red Bull took over, Thomas Link, Niko Kovac, Zickler, Locke Wentz, Sanduzhu and other stars have joined in one after another.

Red Bull's shot is a big deal, not only the players are world-class players, but even the head coach buys two at once!
At the beginning of Red Bull's ownership, the legendary German star Matthaus and the famous Italian coach Trapattoni served as the head coach together.

"Many talents" means that the players they produce are all high-quality products.

Different from ordinary local tyrant teams, although they also spend a lot of money in signings, they did not introduce long-established stars in the European arena. Instead, they relied on the financial resources of the Red Bull Group to establish the best scouting system to discover young talents from all over the world.

Their scouting system all over the world pays great attention to discovering excellent players from Asia, Africa and South America, attracting them to play for their worth, and then selling them at a high price.

So, although their investment is huge, their finances are very healthy.

According to statistics, in recent years, the total price of players sold by Red Bull Salzburg is as high as 3 million euros.And after these players transfer to the five major league clubs, their value tends to rise, and the current value is as high as more than 2400 million euros!
The most famous of them is Harland, the young shooter nicknamed "C Ronaldo's statue is perfect", and he is already one of the most expensive players in Europe!
In addition, there are Liverpool double stars Mane and Minamino Takumi.

When Mane left Salzburg in 2014, he was worth only 2400 million euros, but now he is worth as much as 1.4 million.

Minano Takumi transferred to Liverpool for 850 million euros, which seems to be a low price, but when he moved to Austria, he only spent 80 euros for Red Bull!
This is the business of the Salzburg Red Bulls. They do not hesitate to invest a lot in the scouting system and spend a lot of money to find excellent players. This not only meets the needs of their own club's combat power, but also sells them to wealthy clubs at a high price, making a fortune.

This model is more practical and efficient than Ajax and other simple arsenals that have been honing their swords for ten years. The continuous flow of talents from all over the world ensures the long-term prosperity of the team.

Gao Yuan admires the team's operating model very much.In fact, Maritimo's business philosophy is similar to that of Salzburg Red Bull.The other party relies on huge investment, casts a wide net around the world, and establishes a scouting system all over the world; while Maritimo relies entirely on his own strength!
Although I have a system that is more accurate than the opponent's scouting system, my own power is limited after all, and I can only search for players within my range bit by bit.Therefore, Maritimo's players are concentrated in Portugal, Brazil and China, and there are only a few players from other countries such as Dzeko, Aduriz, Ronaldo, and Aguilar.

In the lofty plan, the future development of Maritimo will follow the development model of Salzburg Red Bull.

Of course, you can't just rely on yourself, but you have to build a scouting network all over the world to network young talents from all over the world!

I will definitely go to a higher level league and a bigger club in the future, and a healthy and sustainable development model is the wealth that Gao Yuan will leave to Maritimo!
Of course, it’s still too far to say these things, at least for now Maritimo doesn’t have the money to build a scouting network of this scale.You have to keep winning to increase the team's popularity and financial resources!

This goes back to the game itself.

Gao Yuan studied the videos of Salzburg Red Bull's recent games and found that the opponent's tactics are very similar to Maritimo's.

Salzburg Red Bull coach Mahi was originally the assistant coach of the Leipzig Red Bull in Germany, and the original coach Rose went to the Leipzig Red Bull as the coach.

This kind of personnel transfer has also been ridiculed as "the deputy manager of the head office is transferred to the general manager of the branch; the general manager of the branch is promoted to the general manager of the head office"!
Salzburg Red Bull and Leipzig Red Bull are in the same line, and players and coaches also communicate with each other.This also makes the Salzburg Red Bull's tactics have distinct German football characteristics, emphasizing discipline, safe tactics, tough style, and the overall pass and reception coordination is simple, fast, and extremely aggressive.

But because there are a large number of outstanding players from all over the world in the Salzburg Red Bull team, they have brought super personal abilities on the basis of "German football"!

There are many excellent foreign players in their formation.

Forward Hwang Hee-chan from South Korea is active in fighting. In the previous season, in the UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool, he passed one pass and one shot, and even passed the world's number one central defender Van Dijk, which aroused the attention of many European clubs.

The Japanese midfielder Masaya Okkawa is very similar in position and style to Takumi Minamino who moved to Liverpool.

Dhaka, a black striker from Zambia, has extremely strong body and speed. Last season, he scored 29 goals in 24 games.So much so that the local media praised: With Dhaka, let us temporarily forget Harland's departure.

There is also the Hungarian midfielder Soboszroy, Gao Yuan noticed his passing and organization, reaching double 19.And the potential of these two items is double 20!

What surprised Gao Yuan the most was the goalkeeper in their formation!
An 18-year-old teenager.

Cleninson!

His CA/PA is as high as 156/187!

The potential of 187 is the data of the top few people in the world!And as a goalkeeper, he is almost the top!
Even a CA of 156 is enough to be the main goalkeeper in the top five European leagues!

Not to mention he is only 18 years old!
This son will become a master in the future!
With such a group of talents, it's no wonder they were able to beat Schalke 04 and draw with Real Madrid!

This team is not easy!

Gao Yuan knew what a difficult opponent he was about to face.

For such an opponent, just watching the game video is not enough, Gao Yuan decided to listen to the opinions of people who are familiar with the team.

And I just know such a guy!
Gao Yuan would like to know, in the eyes of that proud guy, which one is better between his team and the Salzburg Red Bull!

So Gao Yuan took out his mobile phone and dialed a foreign number.
