Chapter 988 Quasi-Wealthy Family

Mendes had just left when Cantarero and Armando Marcos walked into Gao Han's office.

At this moment, Gao Han was standing in front of the French window in the office, looking out at the empty training ground.

A new season of summer training is about to begin.

In European football, time is calculated in seasons, not years, but it is precisely this confusion that makes it easy for people to forget the time, especially when the season starts, with a busy schedule of one game after another, which makes people overwhelmed.

But when Gao Han calmed down, he vaguely discovered that a magnificent era is about to come.

Capital from all sides has poured into European football, creating one local tyrant team after another. The entire European football world is about to usher in an era of heroes rising together, and the major traditional giants will start a new round of survival of the fittest.

All teams that cannot adapt to this great era will be eliminated.

Just like the once famous Nottingham Forest and Ajax teams in history.

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

Armando Marcos's reminder reminded Gao Han of the TV broadcasting rights reform, which will undoubtedly usher in a new round of competition in La Liga, break the current La Liga top three pattern, and give other teams including Chinatown more opportunities.

In the next few years, the gap between the league champion and the vice-captain in terms of broadcasting fee sharing will be rapidly shortened from more than ten times to about three times. Although it is still larger than the Premier League, it is still shrinking. This will greatly enhance the competitiveness of mid- and lower-level teams and improve the environment of La Liga.

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

And this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Chinatown.

...

"Jorge is leaving?" Armando Marcos asked.

Gao Han turned around and nodded, "He's leaving. He said he had an appointment with Florentino."

"Big business?" Cantarero laughed.

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

"Real Madrid wants to get Carvajal."

Gao Han's words made the technical director and the general manager a little bit 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, but not Aubameyang." Gao Han felt that he still needed to explain.

This was a very unnecessary misunderstanding, and Gao Han didn't want it to affect the cooperation.

Cantarero and Armando Marcos looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they understood.

"They also want Rakitic, but I have refused." 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 Army has also poached from Chinatown, Schneiderlin before, and now Herrera, and this time they also paid Herrera's termination fee, 40 million euros.

Marcos Senna is going to retire, Herrera is gone, if Rakitic leaves again, Chinatown will have lost the entire midfield in one summer, how can they play in the new season? Pochettino will probably have to leave.

"What about Alba?" Cantarero asked with concern.

Gao Han thought for a while, "Tell Barcelona, ​​50 million euros, plus Montoya, otherwise no deal."

Montoya?

Cantarero was stunned for a moment, but soon remembered this player.

La Masia youth training, Spanish national youth team player, once suppressed Carvajal, but never got a chance in Barcelona, ​​has been playing in the second team, performed well, it is said that this season he was transferred to the first team, is a potential rookie that Barcelona is very optimistic about.

But there is a right-wing Tianzun Alves in Barcelona's first team, Montoya will not have any chance after coming up, for the 21-year-old Spanish teenager, transferring to Chinatown is undoubtedly a good choice.

And from what Gao Han said, if Real Madrid really makes a move on Carvajal, it is estimated that they will let him go.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, Cantarero himself finds it funny. Chinatown sells players like it sells brands.

As the saying goes, Gao Han's products must be high-quality.

The transfer fees of all the players sold by Chinatown in recent years are high, sometimes even double the normal value, but there are still countless wealthy teams rushing to buy them. Why?

Because in recent years, there has not been a single player who has not succeeded from Chinatown.

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, the offense and defense transition should be faster, and the offense can be more direct and more threatening. Isco, Koke, De Bruyne, Verratti and Pogba and other players should increase their training efforts."

After seeing Cantarero nod, Gao Han continued: "I dug a defensive midfielder named Kante from Paris Saint-Germain. This player is only 21 years old, very young, but quite potential, but he has no chance in Paris Saint-Germain."

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 get 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 having a headache for its defensive midfielder. If Kanter is as Gao Han said, then with two players, Illarramendi and Kanter, in the new season, Chinatown's defensive 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? "

"No one believed it before, 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 operations 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 within three years, when the new stadium is completed and put into use, the broadcasting fee income will increase. Even if other European clubs also usher in great development, Chinatown's financial income is likely to enter the top ten in Europe.

At that time, Chinatown will truly have the strength of a quasi-giant club.
