Star Coach

Chapter 420 Continue to buy people

When Heynckes received Jiangshan's invitation through phone, he was moved. He showed a good interest and also paid attention to West Ham's recent transfer operations.

Feeling Jiangshan's buying vision, Heynckes decided to join West Ham. Moreover, in order to prevent Jiangshan from reaching out to the team, he also put forward his own conditions.

"No problem, I agree." Jiangshan agreed very readily, "During your tenure as head coach, I will not interfere with the team's games and preparations, and I will try my best to buy the players you require."

"As for the salary issue, you can negotiate with the team and the team, and I will not treat you unfairly." Jiangshan smiled. As long as he won the head coach position, he could rest for a while next season. "And I only have one request, which is to enter the Champions League next season."

There are currently three paths for Premier League teams to enter the Champions League. One is to grab the top four in the Premier League. Of course, the fourth place must participate in the qualifying round; the second is to win the Champions League and automatically appear in the group stage next season; the third is to enter the UEFA Cup final and win the championship.

For West Ham, the latter two are not available, and the only possibility is to enter the Champions League.

"Buy me the players I want, I am confident that I can enter the Champions League, at least win the top four." Heynckes said proudly, "Of course, the three players I require must have sufficient strength."

A striker, a midfielder, and a central defender, Heynckes's requirements. West Ham has bought 6 players now, and Glen Johnson is definitely going to get three more. This summer, West Ham's players have almost changed.

"I agree to all your conditions." Jiangshan agreed readily.

Heynckes is a special coach, and the teams he coaches are not on the same level.

Sometimes he takes over super giants such as Real Madrid and Bayern, and sometimes he takes over mid-stream teams such as Schalke 04 and Athletic Bilbao, and even takes over relegation teams such as Tenerife.

After years of coaching, he has less than 100 European games, and has the highest European win rate... Heynckes' most recognized era is the year when he led Bayern to win the treble. Now Jiangshan appears, he doesn't know if he can win the championship again.

"Signing for 2 years is enough." Heynckes said calmly, "The time is almost right, I want to retire."

Jiangshan respects him and will not care about the length of the contract. Heynckes wants to retire. If Bayern needs him, he will come out again. Of course, during the transition period of West Ham, using Heynckes is a good choice.

He has rich coaching experience, has been in contact with various teams, and knows how to deal with teams with countless newcomers. In addition, there are many German players in Jiangshan's team. Using a German head coach meets the needs of the players.

Next, in the locker room, Jiangshan needs to increase the number of English players to achieve the purpose of checks and balances. The framework of English players and German players cannot be neglected, otherwise there will definitely be problems in the locker room.

Walker stayed in Germany to negotiate. Heynckes has reached a verbal agreement with Jiangshan. The time for the formal contract to be signed will not be too long, and I believe it will be announced soon.

"Finally, we have done something big." Catherine took Jiangshan's hand, "Next, shall we go back to England?"

"Of course, Woodward is about to take Glen Johnson, let's add fuel to the fire."

Woodward is fully responsible for Glen Johnson's transaction and competes with Liverpool. Woodward also has professionals to help him, and with his natural business face, he finally has the upper hand.

Of course, lack of experience will definitely lead to losses. Liverpool's offer was only 14 million pounds, and Woodward added 1 million pounds in one breath. Crazy guy, do you really think money is not money?

Glen Johnson joined Chelsea for 6 million pounds in 2003, becoming the first deal after Abramovich bought Chelsea, and then officially transferred to Portsmouth in 2007, with a transfer fee of only 4 million pounds.

Now there are two teams scrambling for him, and Johnson is gradually maturing and has become the main candidate for the national team's full-back. His value is naturally rising. It is difficult to buy him without a price of more than 15 million.

This summer, Jiangshan can only bleed heavily.

Royce is 15 million pounds, De Gea is 500,000 pounds, David Silva is 20 million pounds, Hummels is 10 million pounds, Modric is 20 million pounds, and the total price is as high as 65.5 million pounds. It seems that De Gea is a poor gift.

Only Jiangshan knows that De Gea will become the most stable link in West Ham's defense in the future.

After Jiangshan arrived in England, he immediately gave Woodward an order to take Glen Johnson within three days, otherwise he would not be taken in the next three operations.

Soon, Woodward used the inexplicable concepts of image rights and being close to home to work with Glen Johnson. He finally snatched the English right back from Liverpool for 16 million pounds.

Liverpool had a very depressed summer. Last season, they were at the top of the list for a long time, but were overtaken by Manchester United at a critical moment and became the second. At the beginning of the summer, Barry was intercepted by Manchester City, and now Glen Johnson was intercepted by West Ham again.

Benítez is going crazy. Xabi Alonso has left for Real Madrid, and the midfield lineup is thin. What should we do next season?

"Heynckes has brought in three players? Do we need to continue to add players in the front, midfield and backcourt?" Woodward's eyes widened. "We have already spent more than 80 million pounds in the summer. Do we still have money to spend?"

"I have to spend it!" Jiang Shan smiled bitterly, "I plan to spend all the 40 million pounds earned from selling people into the player market. In this case, we still have about 10 million pounds in transfer fees."

Jiangshan hopes that through a summer's shopping spree, West Ham will build the main framework for the next few years. In this case, the team's main investment will not be concentrated on players in the next few seasons.

Jiangshan's stadium expansion plan and youth training camp training plan can be implemented step by step.

"Buy, keep buying." Jiang Shan patted Woodward's fat shoulder, "In the past few days, I will let you feel the excitement of the transfer market. We must use the least money to buy the best players."

"Who are you going to buy? Three players, is 10 million pounds enough?" Woodward couldn't believe it. He just bought one Glen Johnson and spent 16 million pounds. Jiangshan boasted that 10 million would buy three. Player?

"Let's go and get the most expensive one. This central defender will cost us at least more than 5 million." Jiang Shan joked, "Let's go to Bolton together."

After buying a lot of crooked nuts, English players should also buy some accordingly. After all, it is a London team. Fans value local stars very much. The influence of local stars can also drive the development of the market.

On the back line, most of them are English players. Jiangshan has no choice but to continue to buy, and he has to choose a taller player from the short ones. He has to buy a colander that is not a colander.

Special note: There are two reasons for the lack of updates. One is the adjustment of work positions. I have been working overtime and have no time to take a break on weekends. The other is that I am about to start preparing a new book and it is difficult to guarantee the time. Of course, I will do it when I have time. Additional updates. Thanks to Dragon and Pickle 18888 for the tip this year.
