Super Marshal

As soon as Mendes left, Cantarero and Armando Marcos walked into Gao Han's office.

At this moment, Gao Han was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, overlooking the empty training ground.

Summer training preparations for a new season are about to begin again.

In European football, the way to calculate time is the season, not the year, but it is precisely this kind of confusion that makes it easy for people to forget the time, especially when the season starts and there is a busy schedule one after another. It's overwhelming.

But when Gao Leng calmed down, he vaguely realized that a magnificent era was about to come.

The influx of capital from all parties into European football has created one strong local team after another. The entire European football world is about to usher in an era when all the heroes are coming together, and the major traditional giants will start a new round of survival of the fittest.

The waves are raging, and all teams that cannot adapt to this era will be eliminated.

Just like teams such as Nottingham Forest and Ajax that were once famous in history.

This is true in European football and also in La Liga.

Armando Marcos’ previous reminder reminded Gao Han of the TV broadcast rights reform, which will undoubtedly kick off a new round of competition in La Liga, break the current pattern of the top three in La Liga, and provide opportunities for other teams including Chinatown. More opportunities.

In the next few years, the gap between the league champion and the deputy captain in terms of broadcasting fee sharing will quickly shorten from more than ten times to about three times. Although it is still larger than the Premier League, it is still shrinking, which will greatly Improve the competitiveness of mid- and lower-tier teams and improve the environment of La Liga.

It can also be said that the good days of Real Madrid and Barcelona relying on La Liga to make money no longer exist.

This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Chinatown.

…

"Jorge is gone?" Armando Marcos asked.

Gao Han turned around and nodded, "Let's go, I said I made an appointment with Florentino."

"Big business?" Cantarero chuckled.

He is Gao Han's right-hand man and has known about the cooperative relationship between Gao Han and Mendes for a long time.

"Real Madrid want Carvajal."

Gao Han's words made both the technical director and general manager unable to laugh.

"I didn't know that Paris Saint-Germain wanted to get Aubameyang. The list they showed me before only included Messi, Robben and Sanchez, and there was no Aubameyang." Gao Han felt that he still needed it. explain.

This is a very unnecessary misunderstanding, and Gao Han does not want it to affect cooperation.

Cantarero and Armando Marcos looked at each other and nodded, making it clear.

"They still want to get Rakitic, but I have rejected it." Gao Han said lightly, "Since it has been decided to sell Herrera to Atletico Madrid, Rakitic must stay."

The relationship between Chinatown and Atletico Madrid has always been very close, and the Sheets League has also poached players from Chinatown. The former Schneiderlin is now Herrera, and this time they also paid Herrera's termination fee. , 40 million euros.

Marcos Senna is about to retire, Herrera is gone, if Rakitic leaves again and Chinatown loses its entire midfield in one summer, how will it be possible to play in the new season? Pochettino probably has to put down his burden and leave.

"What about Alba?" Cantarero asked concerned.

Gao Han thought for a while and said, "Tell Barcelona, ​​50 million euros, plus Montoya, otherwise there will be no discussion."

Montoya?

Cantarero was stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered the player.

A player from La Masia's youth training and the Spanish national youth team, he once overpowered Carvajal, but he never got a chance in Barcelona. He has been playing for the second team and performed well. It is said that he was transferred to the first team this season. He is a potential rookie that Barcelona is very optimistic about.

But currently there is a right winger Alves in the Barcelona first team, and Montoya will not have any chance after coming up. For the 21-year-old Spanish youngster, transferring to Chinatown is undoubtedly a good choice.

Judging from Gao Han's opinion, if Real Madrid really takes action against Carvajal, they will probably let him go.

Sometimes when I think about it, Cantarero himself finds it funny that selling players in Chinatown is almost like selling out the brand.

As the saying goes, products produced in Gaohan must be high-quality.

The transfer fees for the players sold by Chinatown in recent years are all very high, sometimes even double the normal value, but there are still countless wealthy teams pounced on, why?

Because in these years, no player who has come out of Chinatown has been unsuccessful.

And this is undoubtedly the most attractive to wealthy teams. They would even rather spend more money to buy insurance.

"Carlos, starting from the new season, we should play with more control, switch between offense and defense faster, and be more direct and threatening in attack. Isco, Koke, De Bruyne, Vera Players such as Ti and Pogba should increase their efforts in training.”

After seeing Cantarero nod, Gao Han continued: "I hired a defensive midfielder named Kante from Paris Saint-Germain. This player is only 21 years old. He is very young, but he has considerable potential, but No chance at PSG."

In Gao Han's tactical system, Pirlo is the unbeatable main force. Even if he is injured and misses, Yaya Toure and Matuidi are also the first choices in this position. Cabaye can also play this position, so it is difficult to obtain Kante. Chance.

"How about Illarramendi?" Cantarero asked with interest.

Anyone who can be recommended by Gao Han is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Different styles. Illarramendi has made great progress in the past two years. He has a good sense of position and can make timely replacements. He is a solid barrier in front of the defense. But at the same time, he can get the ball and release the ball. He can be the first player after completing a steal. He can deliver precise passes at the right time and instigate the team’s quick counterattack, which undoubtedly makes him more tactically valuable.”

Cantarero nodded repeatedly. Illarramendi gained a firm foothold last season, which is what Gao Han said. He often used long passes in quick counterattacks to find Pellet and Aubameyang in the frontcourt. The fulcrum of the former and the speed of the latter, and he is also excellent in interceptions and steals on the defensive end.

"Kante is not tall, but he is very energetic, has excellent running ability, strong fighting ability, can grab the ball, and can also release the ball. If I insist on giving him a template, I think he is like a Makelele, who has excellent running ability, is of course still relatively immature and needs further refinement.”

When Cantarero heard Gao Han's words, he immediately laughed.

Chinatown is currently suffering from a headache for its midfielder. If Kanter is as Gao Han said, then with two players, Illarramendi and Kanter, in the new season, Chinatown's midfielder position will be worry-free.

As long as the midfield can hold on and be under control, the team's results will be good.

Even if Carvajal and Alba do leave, Danilo and Alex Sandro can make up for it as soon as possible.

As for Aubameyang, the technical department has also found a suitable candidate.

"Armando, I talked a lot with Mendes just now."

Gao Han conveyed all the information he had just received from Mendes to Armando Marcos and Cantarero.

When the two heard that Porto's Hulk was sold for 60 million euros, they immediately shouted that Aubameyang was sold cheaply.

"Oh my God, this is so crazy. Are those Russians really that rich?" Armando Marcos was speechless.

Who knows?

Anyway, in the era of big capital, money is just a bunch of meaningless numbers games.

"Jorge's information further confirmed my observations and predictions." After listening to Gao Han's words, Armando Marcos also began to elaborate on his own thoughts and ideas.

"In the past few years, European football has embraced a wave of globalization. Premier League broadcast rights have been sold to new highs every year. A very important reason is that overseas copyrights are no longer inferior to local copyrights, as well as other platforms such as the Internet. The income cannot be underestimated.”

“More and more teams are starting to go to Asia, North America and the Middle East for training camps and commercial competitions. To put it bluntly, they want to further spread their influence around the world. Therefore, the commercial activities of giant teams such as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester United are Revenues are rising and will increase further in the coming years.”

"Globalization is a big cake, and not just any team can get a piece of it. Teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have already tasted the sweetness first. Atletico Madrid, Arsenal , Chelsea and other teams are also quickly catching up.”

Having said this, Armando Marcos stared at Gao Han, "We in Chinatown must also catch up as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we cannot keep up with this wave, we will be eliminated and it will be difficult to catch up in the future. ”

The words of the club general manager undoubtedly spoke to Gao Han's heart, and he thought so too.

"Armando, you are right, but I have a question. Those teams that can get a piece of the big pie of globalization are basically traditional giants and have the advantage of being the first to dominate, but we are not ." Cantarero asked worriedly.

He is cautious by nature and is very worried that the club is so eager to develop by leaps and bounds, and that if it takes too long, it will be nonsense.

"I can understand your worries, Carlos, and you are right. We do not have the advantages of traditional wealthy teams, but the unique history of our club and the golden name of club owner Gao Han are the most attractive in themselves. Elements, just imagine, how many fans can witness a team climbing from a low-level league to a top league, to the Champions League, and even have a chance to win the championship in the future? "

"Before, no one believed it, but last season we reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. It was like a hammer that shattered everyone's worries. We almost reached the final, the Champions League final!" Armando ·Marcos was a little excited.

"Believe me, I am confident that within three years, the club's commercial income will increase to more than 200 million euros, so that our commercial income can enter the top five in Europe."

The most important commercial income is sponsorship income, merchandise sales income, advertising income and others. Sponsor income is the largest part, and Armando Marcos' confidence undoubtedly comes from this.

Business revenue of 200 million euros, this figure not only impacted Gao Han, but also Cantarero.

Arsenal's current commercial revenue is only over 100 million euros. Real Madrid, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are the teams with the best commercial operation capabilities in Europe, and they are only about 200 million euros.

If Armando Marcos can really increase the club's commercial income to 200 million euros in three years, when the new stadium is completed and opened, and the broadcast fee income increases, even other European clubs will usher in great development, but Chinatown's financial situation It is also very likely that the revenue will enter the top ten in Europe.

At that time, Chinatown will truly be considered to have the strength of a quasi-rich family.
