Chapter 4 Wansheng Is Back!

When Xiao Hill saw Wan Sheng, he couldn't believe it.

When the two shook hands, Hill felt like a dream. The young Chinese in front of him had become a legend in European football.

Leading Derby County for two seasons turned Derby County from a relegation team in the British Championship to a Premier League champion; leading Manchester City for three seasons made Manchester City leap from a mid-level Premier League team. Become the best team in Europe.

After Wansheng announced his retirement, all his previous coaching records were dug up, and he was constantly reported by European media, and more people knew his name.

Perhaps because he retired and announced his retirement from football, many people began to "miss" him.

It's been two years...

Wansheng disappeared from European football for two years, so he became the object of 'missing' by various media. Whenever a team performed well, many people would still talk about him. Performance doesn't really matter! ?

This also aroused the resentment of many colleagues, because he was really good at leading the team, and there were only a few people in the entire football world who were qualified to be compared with him.

Now, this 'legendary' person is standing in front of him.

If it was two years ago, Hill would definitely have invited him to coach Atletico Madrid without hesitation.

but now……?

Maybe the opponent won't be a football coach at all, right?

Little Hill didn't know how to say the first sentence, but Wan Sheng smiled and said officially, "I am here to discuss with Mr. Hill the acquisition of Atletico Madrid's shares on behalf of Tai Wan Development Investment. "

"Just call me Angel." Xiao Hill reacted, let go of Wan Sheng's hand, and sat down again, "Mr. Sinar has said before, I don't plan to sell so many shares. ."

Wan Sheng asked, "Oh? Why? With all due respect, Atlético de Madrid is not well managed. It already has a large amount of foreign debt, which the club is unable to repay."

Little Hill nodded tacitly.

"At present, in Spanish football, only Real Madrid and Barcelona are the most concerned, La Liga teams. Management is a big problem. If the situation continues like this, your debt will only get higher and higher." Wan Sheng took out As the demeanor of the chairman of Tagolwan Group, "In a few years, when the debt is higher than the club's assessed assets, according to Spanish policy, Atlético de Madrid must declare bankruptcy, can the club continue to stay in the top league at that time? , will become uncertain, am I right? Angel?"

Little Hill gritted his teeth. It was precisely because he considered these aspects that he planned to sell his shares, but in the face of negotiating opponents, he would definitely not reveal the bottom line, "but our results are on the rise."

"So what? As far as I know, you were only ninth in the league last season and didn't even qualify for European competitions. In the past three years, Atletico Madrid's debt is still rising."

"We will improve this year..."

"Improvement? Can you guarantee that the team will be in the Champions League next season? I believe it is uncertain."

Xiao Hill thought for a while, and finally nodded, facing this question, he had nothing to say.

Who can guarantee that the team's performance will get better and better?

No one can guarantee.

Atlético de Madrid is already a team that has to sell even the star (Torres) who has feelings for the club. Who can guarantee that the youth team will always have talent? Who can guarantee that the results of the first team will get better and better?

Atletico Madrid was ninth in the league last season and could not participate in European competitions.

The club wants to operate better, at least to enter the top three in the league... But in Spain, the most powerful teams are always Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they occupy the top three positions, and want to be in the other ten. It's so hard to 'win' out of eight teams.

As long as something goes wrong, they continue to lose money.

Little Hill wants to sell his shares in exchange for some financial support, but the situation of Atlético de Madrid, as long as you investigate it, you can know it clearly, almost no capital would be willing to put money on 'debt-laden' and 'eighty percent of the money'. Continue to lose 'on the club.

Therefore, when Taiwan Development Investment intends to acquire it, he is immediately moved, but the other party demands absolute control!

With the opponent having absolute control, the club's board of directors, including management, will definitely undergo a large number of personnel transfers, and even the team will be greatly affected, and the team's prospects will not be able to be grasped at that time.

Xiao Hill thought of the key point, he raised his head and asked, "Then you can guarantee good results and turn the club into a profit?"

"certainly."

Wan Sheng's answer was quite decisive, with confidence on his face.

"How do you guarantee it?"

"Because, I have decided to return to coaching in Europe! But the premise is... the team I coach must be my team!"

————

There was almost no Spanish media talking about the acquisition of Atlético de Madrid that day, because everyone felt that Hill would not choose to sell the team.

Atlético de Madrid fans are also relieved, they are waiting for the team's movements with peace of mind, and they start to look forward to the new season.

But at this time, a piece of news from "Marca" suddenly made the Spanish football circle explode again!

"Taiwan Development has invested in the acquisition of Atlético de Madrid and has entered a substantive negotiation stage!"

How is this possible!

When some fans saw this news, they thought it was dazzling, they read it over and over again, and then they were sure that it was true.

"Marca" is a very popular sports newspaper in Spain. The newspaper mainly reports football events, supplemented by other sports news. It has a wide range of information sources and often publishes breaking news at the first time, which is highly concerned by fans all over the world.

In the Spanish city of Madrid, "Marca" and "Aspen" each account for half of the country!

Therefore, the reports of the "Marca" are still very worthy of attention. They hardly report fake news, and the occasional heavy news is almost always from a stable source.

Since "Marca" has said so, then Atlético de Madrid is likely to be acquired.

The rest is only a matter of time!

Suddenly, the Spanish media went crazy. Various media sent reporters to Atlético de Madrid to interview, but Atlético de Madrid fans couldn't accept it for a while, and they gathered again in front of the club to demonstrate.

While Atlético de Madrid urged fans to calm down, it also released two pieces of news.

"Mr. Hill will not sell all the shares in the club. The Hill family will still have a say in the future Atlético de Madrid, and he will remain in the club as CEO."

"Taiwan Development Investment is a big Chinese consortium. They will inject capital into the club. The club's economic situation will improve, and its future performance will definitely get better and better."

The former is for sure, the latter is to tell the fans that the Hill family sold their shares because the club has huge debts and the economic situation has already had problems.

All major media have discussed this point, and even the Internet has been able to check it out.

After the official explanation, Atlético de Madrid fans calmed down a little bit of anger, thinking about the situation of the club is really not very good, foreign capital invested in the team can indeed improve the team's operating conditions, despite this, there are still many Fans worry about the future of the team.

Negotiations between Taiwan Investment Development and the Hill family are continuing. No matter how crazy the media is or how dissatisfied the fans are, they can only wait for news.

This kind of negotiation involving the absolute equity of the club is often time-consuming.

From preparing for the acquisition to completing the acquisition, it will take nearly a month if it is faster, and it may take as long as a year if it is slower.

Taiwan Investment and Development is only a single acquisition of the shares held by the Hill family. It only involves the transfer of shares of several members of the Hill family, and the price paid is difficult for the Hill family to refuse. It is not that complicated. The longest time is Some details.

such as personnel transfers.

After Taiwan invests in development and takes charge of Atlético de Madrid, some people will definitely enter the club to work, which will involve a lot of personnel transfers.

The main thing is several positions, the club president, the general manager of each department, the director, the team head coach, and some work arrangements of others.

The Hill family is ready for long talks.

But what they didn't expect was that Taiwan's investment and development requirements were not high. In fact, they only asked for absolute control of Atlético de Madrid, and they didn't even care about the chairmanship.

Of course Wansheng didn't care.

This acquisition is his personal intention, but it was acquired in the name of Kevin Tagore and his two people. After the acquisition, Atlético de Madrid will nominally belong to Taiwan Development Investment.

As for the personnel transfer involved, he couldn't arrange a bunch of people to enter the club, and there were only a few people who wanted to work with him in Spain.

Wansheng's goal is to have an absolute controlling stake in Atlético de Madrid.

At that time, the profit and loss will be their own, and the club will not change in the future.

This kind of stability is the best.

So the negotiations between the two parties went very smoothly. Soon after a week, the official website of Atlético de Madrid announced that the Hill family had transferred 51% of the equity to the Chinese company Taiwan Development Investment.

In order to calm the unrest of the fans, the club's official website announced that the club's chairman Cerezo and CEO Jr. Hill will retain their positions and continue to work for the club.

After that, the official website announced a series of personnel transfers.

Former Manchester City club general manager Sinar will serve as the club's vice chairman, while Deng Kai and Ruan Hailong will serve as managers of the club's personnel department and athletics department respectively.

Some other small personnel transfers have not been announced in detail.

The last piece of news is the most eye-catching, "...We regret to announce that the club and the head coach, Mr. Aguirre, will unilaterally terminate the contract. In view of Aguirre's contribution to Atlético de Madrid, we will be normal. Pay liquidated damages in accordance with the contract..."

This news shocked the whole of Spain!

Aguirre's coaching ability is still worthy of recognition. He led the team to the UEFA Champions League two years ago, which satisfied all Atletico Madrid fans. Although the results last season were not good, the club and fans still trust him.

Even if the news of the Chinese company's acquisition of Atlético de Madrid came out, no one could have imagined that this would affect Aguirre's coaching position.

Many Spanish media have complained about Aguirre, but Atletico Madrid officially announced that they have found the best candidate to replace the coach.

"The best candidate? Who would it be?"

The Spanish media have counted the coaches who may come to Atlético Madrid to coach, but they can't find who is the so-called 'best candidate'?

At this time, Atlético de Madrid announced that it would hold a press conference three days later, when the new coach would meet with the media and fans.

This news made the media confused, because even the "eyeliner" they bought at Atlético de Madrid did not know that the club had found a suitable coach.

Who will it be?

They can only wait.

————

Three days passed quickly.

On June 23, Atlético de Madrid held a press conference.

Cinaar, who had just served as the club's vice-chairman, personally presided over the press conference and announced that Taiwan Development Investment would inject 120 million euros into Atlético de Madrid in advance.

The news immediately sparked a heated discussion among the media at the venue.

120 million euros is not a small amount!

According to the current situation of Atlético de Madrid, in order to repay some of the debts due, they simply can't raise much money in the summer transfer.

With this 120 million euros, they can not only repay some debts on time, but also invest a lot of money in the transfer market to buy the players they want.

This news undoubtedly made the fans who came to be very satisfied.

After that, Sinar gave another speech, the purpose of which was nothing more than to reassure the fans and say that in the future, he must be dedicated to running the club well and so on.

It wasn't until the media and fans couldn't help it that Cinaar announced, "Next, let our new coach meet everyone!"

In one sentence, everyone's target immediately looked at the door of the venue.

There are already many people there exclaiming!

This made the people in the venue even more looking forward to it, and then they saw a young and immature Chinese player wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey.

Is this Atlético de Madrid's new signing?

Then there was a middle-aged man with brown hair in his 40s, with a face that seemed familiar, but a little unremembered.

Then the person who came in was also a Chinese with a square face and small eyes. The Spanish media did not know it, but several Chinese media present exclaimed, "Fan Zhiyi!"

Finally, a handsome young Chinese man in a neat suit walked in. With his cocked hair and water chestnut face, he looked like a movie star? But immediately, almost all the media present exclaimed!

"God! How is it possible!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"That's right, it's Wansheng!"

"He's back! He's back! Wansheng is back!" (To be continued ~^~)
