Eight Hundred and Eighty-Six to Manchester City
Two days later, John Beek drove from Lille to La Louvière.
Along with the agent, there is also the official attitude given by Lille, that is, they want to take away Hazard, give a transfer fee of 25 million euros, and have released news through the media, and also talk to the agent. People expressed their opinions.
The implication is that the club needs the transfer fee, and they don't care which team the transfer goes to.
"This is what the head coach Rudy Garcia told me personally. He asked me to tell you that the club really needs this money. In addition, he also hopes that you can choose carefully. If you decide to stay, he will also help. Convince management."
Rudy Garcia has done his best.
Sometimes, the sadness of small teams is reflected here.
Players have to be sold. If they don’t sell, there will be no money for signings. Without money for signings, the club’s weakness will not be strengthened.
Lille is going to compete in the Champions League next season. If they don’t strengthen signings, what will the team do to fight with those giant teams?
If we can strive to get out of the group stage and enter the knockout stage, the club's benefits will be even more generous.
The reason why Lyon is prosperous in Ligue 1 depends on participating in the Champions League all year round and even entering the knockout stage.
It's not just about the money, it's the appeal to the players.
Everyone knows that when you play in the Champions League and perform well, it is easier to win the favor of the giants.
Both Azar and his parents sat quietly, not saying a word.
Their reactions to the situation in front of them were complicated.
On the one hand, it is looking forward to a brighter future. After all, Lille is indeed a small team, but at the same time, there is some fear, because no one knows whether it will be successful after the transfer.
"Which teams are currently interested in us?" Father Thierry Hazard asked with concern.
He used to be a professional player in the Belgian Serie B and has also transferred, so he has some experience.
For Hazard, this step is to go out sooner or later.
Is it possible that he should live in Lille for the rest of his life?
"a lot of,
Seven teams in the Premier League have contacted me and Lille, four in the Bundesliga, five in La Liga, four in Serie A, and Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon in Ligue 1. ' said John Beek.
It was only recently that he suddenly discovered that the player in his hands was so popular that almost half of the rich and powerful teams in European football were interested in him, which was really surprising.
Of course, it is also normal. The 20-year-old Ligue 1 player of the season is really not false.
The last player to achieve this achievement was Benzema.
"The current transfer market's assessment of Eden is 20 million euros, and Lille's request for an additional 5 million euros is actually quite normal. According to my estimation, there should still be teams that agree, such as Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, a few A giant team should hesitate a little bit, they will all have their own set of evaluation criteria."
Although they have missed a lot of future stars because of transfer fees, the giants always adhere to their own set of evaluation standards, because they need to control risks and at the same time properly control the transfer value of players.
For example, Real Madrid, they have complained more than once that the team's offer to Real Madrid and the offer to other teams are two prices.
This is actually a common phenomenon.
"Is Paris Saint-Germain making a lot of noise right now?" Thierry asked with concern.
Not long ago, a consortium from Qatar successfully acquired Paris Saint-Germain, and also announced that it would increase its investment, vowing to make Paris Saint-Germain a top European giant in the shortest possible time.
This made Paris Saint-Germain instantly famous.
Before the Qatar consortium, the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City has shocked the entire European football world, especially after the successful introduction of Sudong last summer, this season has won the Premier League, FA Cup and The triple crown winner of the Europa League is in the limelight.
Today, Manchester City's momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and there is another Paris Saint-Germain.
Everyone can clearly see that in the next few years, the life of the European giants will not be easy.
Especially for some giants with insufficient financial resources, the loss of players has become an imminent crisis.
"From the current point of view, it will take two or three years for Paris Saint-Germain to achieve results in Ligue 1, and it will take a lot of investment to catch up. As for European football..." John Bick shook his head .
This is really hard to say.
The competitive pressure of the Champions League is very high and the fault tolerance rate is extremely low.
As strong as Bayern Munich, after leaving Sudong, Pepe and Marcelo, they made up immediately. Players such as Hummels, Contento, Bad Stuber and David Alaba all performed well. Introduced Mario Gomez also performed well, but lost to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.
Why?
Made a mistake!
The previous Bayern also made mistakes, but the existence of Su Dong has improved Bayern's fault tolerance.
To put it simply, Su Dong is too good at scoring goals, so even if Bayern's defense makes mistakes, they can still win.
Just like Manchester City this season, how many mistakes does goalkeeper Joe Hart make?
But the result?
Still win, or triple crown!
This is the role of Su Dong.
Few people noticed when he was there, but when he lost him, the difference immediately became apparent.
Bayern Munich fell directly from the third consecutive championship to the semi-finals, which is almost the same as Barcelona, Manchester United and other teams.
So, how long does it take for Paris Saint-Germain to emerge in Europe, who knows?
"Outside is generally optimistic about Manchester City." John Beek said.
"Because of Su Dong?" Thierry asked.
"Yes, Manchester City is now making up for the shortcomings and the thickness of the lineup, just to cope with the next four-line battle. If there is no accident, Manchester City will continue to exert force in the new season. Guardiola's set of tactics is suitable for the league, They are very stable in the Premier League, and the presence of Su Dong makes their explosion point very strong, and the knockout effect is also obvious."
This is why the outside world is optimistic about Manchester City.
Guardiola's tactics have been polished and formed, plus a Su Dong, it is difficult not to be optimistic.
"John, what do you think?" Karin asked.
She used to be the main striker of the Belgian women's football team. If she hadn't been pregnant with Eden Hazard, she would not have retired, so to a certain extent, in the field of football, she is not inferior to her husband.
"Eden's characteristics are suitable for the technical flow, so don't go to Serie A. The current Serie A environment is not good, the Bundesliga can be considered, but at present in the Bundesliga only Bayern is the strongest, Dortmund, Werder Bremen and Schalke Zero Four. The team lacks the firepower and it is difficult to challenge Bayern's position."
"The current environment of La Liga has also changed. Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Valencia all pay attention to physical and physical fitness. Only Barcelona insists on the technical flow, but Mourinho is not good at using technical types, especially talented technical types. player."
After just winning the Champions League, the possibility of Mourinho being dismissed is almost zero.
John Beek's analysis here, the answer is very obvious.
Bayern can't go, because of the existence of Ribery and Robben, there is definitely no place to go.
La Liga Barcelona is also best not to go, because Mourinho can't use players like Hazard, and teams such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Valencia can't use them well either.
The rest is the Premier League.
"The Premier League is the most ideal, and among the teams in the Premier League, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur can all be considered, but Manchester United boss Ferguson will retire in two years. , This is a big hidden danger, we can't take risks, Arsenal are estimated to be scared off, it is difficult to meet Lille's offer, and Tottenham Hotspur can't play in the Champions League."
At this point in the analysis, there are actually only two teams left.
Chelsea and Manchester City.
"Both of these two teams have been in contact with us for a long time, especially Manchester City. They have been in contact since last year. They are eager for talents. They currently have two wingers, Di Maria and Sanchez. Adam Johnson is not melonized. Diola is pleased, there will definitely be many opportunities after joining, in addition, the team captain is Su Dong, the vice captain is Kompany, your teammate of the national team."
"In addition, Courtois and De Bruyne also joined Manchester City, so there are many acquaintances."
"Chelsea has just changed coaches, and Boas is also a head coach who attaches great importance to attacking. He has trained players like Falcao and Hulk. Relatively speaking, Chelsea will have less competitive pressure than Manchester City, and there are many French players. , communication and integration will not be a problem.”
If you simply compare the two teams, Chelsea and Manchester City, the answer is actually obvious.
Chelsea has been very strong in the past few years, and even reached the Champions League final, but with the arrival of the economic crisis, Abramovich tightened his money, and the team's performance began to decline. This past season even almost failed to win the league Top four.
Manchester City is just right now, they have just won the triple crown, and there is a superstar like Su Dong in charge. The plans are very big, and they obviously want to go to the Champions League. The Abu Dhabi consortium behind it is also rich and willing to invest.
From this point of view, Manchester City is undoubtedly in a period of rapid growth, while Chelsea is in decline.
More importantly, judging from the current signs, Chelsea's choice of Boas is to rejuvenate the team, but it is difficult to say this kind of reform. There are risks.
In contrast, Manchester City's overall tactical framework and lineup have been polished and will remain stable in the future.
It can be said that, simply comparing the two teams, there is really no reason to give up Manchester City and choose Chelsea.
After John Beek's analysis, the Azar family has basically figured out the current situation.
Hazard just said before that he wants to be closer to home, the Premier League is undoubtedly the closest, and Manchester City is the most important skill flow in the Premier League team, which is undoubtedly in line with Hazard's requirements.
"Can Manchester City agree to Lille's asking price?" Hazard, who had not spoken, finally asked.
John Beek smiled and nodded: "They won't hesitate at all."
This moved the Azar family once again.
Knowing that Manchester City has a lot of money, but if you really meet it, you will understand how cool it is to have a lot of money.
At least, there is no hesitation in the transfer of 25 million euros.
