After hearing Yang Huan's question, a trace of helplessness obviously flashed in his eyes, and he had the feeling that his ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see his in-laws, so he hesitated a little, and finally opened his mouth.

'Originally, Chelsea's attitude was very tough and asked us to go to the Portuguese Super League, but we were worried that going to the Portuguese Super League would affect Oscar's position in the national team, so we refused.

Yang Huan nodded again and again, don't look at Oscar's performance in his debut season in the Premier League, which can only be regarded as acceptable, but in the end, is he gaining a foothold in Chelsea, the main midfielder of the Brazilian national team, such a player leaves the Premier League to play in the Portuguese Super League?

As long as it's not someone with a bad brain, who would agree to such a stupid thing?

Besides, the Brazil World Cup is imminent, if Oscar loses the main position of the World Cup host Brazil because of leaving the Premier League and joining the Portuguese Super League, it will be a huge loss both from the competitive level and from the commercial level.

Therefore, letting Oscar go to the Portuguese Super League can only be regarded as Chelsea's wishful thinking.

Horabchin looked at Young Master Huan's expression, and seemed to be unmoved, and he also understood in his heart.

He scoured teams in the upper middle of the Premier League, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, and while some teams were interested in Oscar, most of them remained on the sidelines.

The reason is simple, Chelsea's asking price is on the high side!

'I spoke to Granovskia and she told me that if Oscar doesn't want to go to the Portuguese Super League, that's fine, as long as we can find a team and are willing to pay 20 million euros for Oscar, then Chelsea will let him go!'

Yang Huan frowned when he heard this, 20 million euros?

When Chelsea brought in Oscar, they spent a total of 25 million euros, and now a year later, they asked for 20 million euros, which is not too outrageous, but the question is, is anyone willing to sell?

Judging by Oscar's Premier League performance last season, there are bright spots, but the flaws are also obvious.

For example, he is honest and hardworking, and his contribution at both the offensive and defensive ends, but his pass success rate is on the low side, which can be quite lethal for a central midfielder.

Judging from all indications, Oscar is not good at playing as a core player, but more in the role of deputy.

There is no shortage of such players in Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and other teams, as well as Southampton.

Is it worth spending 20 million euros for a midfield substitute?

Yang Huan couldn't help but hesitate all of a sudden.

Even if he has a lot of money, he doesn't want to be treated as a Kaizi, so he has to think about whether the money is well spent, isn't it?

Horabchin had been paying attention to Young Master Huan, and seeing his hesitation, he couldn't help but glance at his partner Bertolucci.

Both of them seem helpless, because they have been rejected by many teams!

At this time, Bertolucci, who had not spoken, spoke.

"I heard that Young Master Huan has always been quite interested in youth training!"

Yang Huan raised his head, looked at the Brazilian super agent in front of him, and nodded, "Yes!" ”

Giuliano Bertolucci is an agent who has just risen in Brazil in recent years, but the momentum of the rise is very fast, coupled with the original agent predator Figel and others have changed careers one after another, and he has also cooperated with Horabuchin, so he has naturally become the hottest agent in Brazil.

At present, almost all Brazilian players in the Premier League are mostly from their team.

For example, Tottenham Hotspur's Willian, Chelsea's Ramirez, Oscar, Lucas Piazon and many more.

"I believe that it is impossible for any club that values youth training to ignore South America."

Bertolucci's words were once again recognized by Yang Huan.

South America is home to football talent, and it's a well-known fact in world football.

Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay are all old camps of talent, and Colombia and Chile have also risen very quickly in recent years, making South American players always occupy a pivotal and even prominent position in world football.

Of all the teams that value youth training, who would dare to ignore South America?

After seeing Young Master Huan nodding, Bertolucci was encouraged and continued: "In Brazil, I have confidence, as long as? I can help you get the players you want at the lowest price, and we can also work with you in many more ways, for example, to help you build a scouting network in South America in Southampton! ”

I have to say that this one is really quite attractive.

In today's professional football world, the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, there are more and more types of work and categories, and the labor cost of club operation is rising.

Just like Ajax, in the early years, he had the ambition to go abroad and expand the youth training system to South America and Africa, when Ajax even founded a football club in South Africa, which once attracted the attention of the football world.

But a few years later, the South American strategy has long been thrown away, Cape Town Ajax is on the verge of bankruptcy, Ajax itself is even more difficult to protect, in recent years and even in recent years, it has cut the budget for the scouting system, abandoned the Africa strategy, and refocused on the Netherlands and the Nordic region.

Just imagine, even an old youth team like Ajax can't support a youth training system independently, so how can other teams be?

In European football, no single team has a scouting network that covers every region.

So, what's the most typical thing to do?

Just like Barcelona, their scouting network is mainly focused on Spanish soil, which is an important part of their overall scouting network, because the so-called Hukou players are desperately needed by any team.

As for the selection of materials outside Spain, there are many tricks, for example, some players are self-recommended, like Messi back then, who relied on his own relationship to recommend himself to Barcelona for trial, and was admitted.

Others are referred by brokers, or intermediaries who have a relationship.

Interestingly, the identities of these intermediaries are also varied, some are former Barcelona players, some are family members or friends of players, and some are even recommended through various channels.

In short, there are all kinds of ways.

And they recommend players to Barcelona for only one purpose, that is, once the players they recommend pass the trial and are admitted, then they can get a considerable introduction fee from Barcelona.

But don't underestimate this, because for Barcelona, maybe 10,000 or 20,000 euros, or even as little as a few thousand euros in referral fees, is very insignificant, but it is enough for ordinary people to support their families.

Following this model, Barcelona could theoretically spread their scouting network around the world.

But that's just theory, in practice, it's hard, and Barcelona also have their own professional full-time scouting system of about a dozen people, each in charge of a different area.

According to the process, a player's information is submitted to the Barcelona Scouting Department, and after passing the initial review, Barcelona will first establish a file, and then arrange for its own professional scouts to go to investigate, or watch a few games, and some even follow up for a long time.

Once you pass the inspection, you will be invited to tryout, and if you meet some talented people, you can even sign a contract directly.

The advantage of such a scouting network system is that the club's investment is not high, but it can be all over the world, and once a new talent emerges, the club can grasp the information as soon as possible.

But there are definitely disadvantages.

Because the goal of these agents and intermediaries is that referral fee, they often also use the fisherman's netting method and submit player recommendation letters to multiple teams at the same time, so it is easy to have a situation where a player has just emerged and is immediately targeted by a large group of European teams, or even rushed to grab it.

Southampton's scouting network in the past was mainly concentrated in the United Kingdom, but in the three years since Yang Huan's acquisition, he has acquired Monaco and Atletico Madrid, completed the integration of scouting information, and the scouting network has also begun to spread to the European continent.

The Saints' youth model is still similar to Barcelona's, but different.

That is the digital reform that Yang Huan has been promoting in the past!

The first is the recommendation session, where anyone can recommend players to Southampton by filling in detailed player recommendation information and shooting player videos through Southampton's mobile app.

In Southampton, the club's scouting department has a dedicated analyst who will follow up and analyse it, conduct initial screening, give timely feedback and interact with referees.

At present, in this ring, Southampton has to collect nearly 100 player recommendations every day, and if you encounter some big events, it is as high as more than 1,000 player recommendations every day, although the players in it are uneven, but there are often some eye-catching so-called demon stars, which attract the attention of Southampton's scouting team.

The rest of the game is similar to how other teams like Barcelona operate.

In addition to streamlining the referral process, Southampton is also promoting a partner model.

In Argentina, for example, Southampton has partnered with Cesarini FC.

Hearing this name, I am afraid that many people will be unfamiliar, his founder is former Argentina international Jorge Solari, the uncle of Argentine star Solari who used to play for Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and the father-in-law of former world top defender Redondo.

The Cesarini club is known as the West Point military academy of Argentine football, producing Argentine internationals including Demichelis and Mascherano, and the second and third generations of the Solari family also trained in this football school.

The current 50% shareholder of this school is Messi!

Southampton's cooperation with Cesarini is mainly in the field of data-based training and analysis, and Southampton helps Cesarini to improve and improve the development of young players by helping Cesarini to carry out scientific analysis of training data, and the latter's training data and analysis results are made available to Southampton.

This approach is even more beneficial for Southampton, as the data is more detailed, the long-term tracking is better, and the operating costs are quite low, which is an advantage that no other team's scouting network can have.

What's more, once these partners have worked with Southampton, it's hard to work with other teams.

Over time, Southampton's entire scouting network will be on full display.

Therefore, Southampton intends to make great efforts to expand its scouting network and find more quality partners in the next few years, and the football kingdom of Brazil is undoubtedly the most important region after European football and Argentina.

Wouldn't it be more effective to have Giuliano Bertolucci, who knows him well in Brazil, to help him?

You know, Bertolucci eats from this line of work, and who knows Brazilian football better than him?

Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

Isn't it 20 million euros?

Not only can you get an Oscar, but you can also get Bertolucci's assistance, it's worth it!
