Super Marshal

"One billion euros!"

In the office of the BJ Chinatown Training Center, Xiang Tianming was so surprised that he jumped out of his seat after receiving the news. How much would it cost if converted into RMB?

Darling, I knew there was money in European football, but I didn’t know it was so rich.

There is no doubt that these are all collected from all over the world. They represent the operating income of the five major European leagues in the past few years, as well as the crazy investment of wealthy financial owners in the Middle East. It is so scary, it is simply unbelievable.

Lin Guoping's calming skills were obviously much better than Xiang Tianming's, but he still couldn't help but be moved.

Because it's just too crazy.

"In the past few years, all major economies around the world have been printing money like crazy, and hot money and insurance funds from all over the world have poured into European football. Professional football has suddenly become a hot commodity. This has led to the current situation. The boom in the European football transfer market."

When he said this, Lin Guoping also sighed. If nothing else, let's talk about the broadcast rights of the four major leagues. They have been rising steadily in recent years. How much revenue does it get from all over the world every year? This is definitely a good deal with huge profits.

The four major leagues appear to be European, but in fact they are global.

"I said, boss, with this billion euros, you have to think carefully about how to spend it." Xiang Tianming looked like a very good friend, winking at Gao Han, almost kneeling on the ground and hugging his thigh.

"Please, this is just transfer income. The longest installment is three years, and it's not cash." Gao Han smiled bitterly.

"That's a lot, okay?" Xiang Tianming almost cried.

One billion euros, he will never make that much money in his lifetime.

Originally, he owned some shares in BJ Chinatown, but in recent years, as Gao Han built youth training centers across the country, the pitiful shares he held were diluted again and again, causing him to Now he is more like a wage earner.

Of course, this was just a pretense of sadness. In his heart, he still liked his current job very much.

"Tianming is right, you still have to think about how to spend it well. The EU's quantitative easing will definitely continue for a few more years. With the current speed of money printing, this money will be very hot in your hands." Lin Guoping also advised.

Gao Han also understood that it was best to invest, but he didn't know how to do business, and he didn't have any good investment projects.

Part of the debt assumed when building the new stadium and surrounding commercial facilities has been repaid, and the rest are long-term loans with very low interest rates. In Armando Marcos's words, it is equivalent to the bank lending money to China in vain. Only a fool would pay off the loan in advance if the city needs it.

Gao Han also knows little about finance, he only knows that debt is sometimes good, but he is very sure that Chinatown's current financial situation is very healthy. Even in the whole world, I am afraid there is no club that is healthier than Chinatown.

Moreover, with the opening of the new stadium and surrounding commercial facilities, the club can obtain a large amount of huge profits every year. Coupled with the billion euros in revenue from the transfer market, Chinatown should really think about how to spend its money. .

Otherwise, if you spend this money in your hands, the continued depreciation will be a loss.

As for investing in the transfer market, Gao Han doesn't think it's necessary.

With the summer training camp, Valverde's training of the team made Gao Han very satisfied, even a little surprised, especially with the rise of a group of young players led by Jesus and Martial, coupled with Isco and Ko With the core main force headed by Gram, Illarramendi, Varane and De Gea, I believe Chinatown’s competitiveness will not be bad this season.

In this case, why is it necessary to smash the star who easily earns over 100 million?

Buying a team in the Chinese Super League?

As soon as this tempting idea appeared in Gao Han's mind, it immediately occupied his mind in an unstoppable manner.

The Chinese Super League team still has great potential for appreciation, not to mention that Chinatown really needs to have a professional team in China. Instead of slowly supporting it, it is better to simply acquire one.

But just when Gao Han was out of control looking for a suitable team, Xiao Mu, Sergio Garcia, Buenaventura and others all arrived at the training center.

It is already mid-August, and the national team will soon start training again to prepare for two focus games in early September.

"Before leaving Europe, I made a special trip to the Netherlands for inspection. Zhang Yuning performed very well at Ajax."

Sergio Garcia is responsible for spying on military affairs and collecting intelligence, so he naturally knows how much Gao Han attaches importance to Zhang Yuning.

"Domestic media also reported that they just scored twice." Gao Han said with a smile.

"Yes, I watched the game live. It has been less than two months since I joined Ajax at the end of June. I have made obvious progress. I have played four games, two starts and two substitutes, and scored three goals. It is quite good. ." praised Sergio Garcia.

Zhang Yuning followed Gao Han's advice and followed the team to start summer training preparations after joining Ajax. He worked very hard and Ajax also attached great importance to him and arranged for him to receive special training alone. Special treatment can only be given to promising stars, and Zhang Yuning has lived up to the club's high expectations.

In the first round of the Champions League qualifying away game at the end of July, he came on as a substitute for 30 minutes against the Greek team and performed well. He missed several chances and had two chances to shoot, but he failed Unable to score, Ajax won 2-1 away from home.

Perhaps considering the high possibility of promotion, and because the second round was only three days away from the first round of the Eredivisie, Ajax made a rotation after returning to the home court. Zhang Yuning started and scored a goal for the team. The ball helped Ajax draw their opponent 1-1, and then successfully advanced with a total score of 3-2.

Because of that goal, Zhang Yuning got the opportunity to come on as a substitute in the first round of the Eredivisie, but he only had 14 minutes and did not perform, while Ajax defeated Sparta Rotterdam 3-1.

A week later, because the Champions League qualifying match was to be played in the middle of the week, Zhang Yuning was scheduled to start in the second round of the Eredivisie. As a result, the Chinese teenager scored twice, helping the team draw with Roda in a 2-2 draw. Pretty good performance.

Others only see Zhang Yuning's potential and performance, but Gao Han understands in his heart that all this is because he used the skill card for him, which led to his obvious progress. With the current trend, he will be based in the four major European leagues in the future. It's not entirely impossible.

"Judging from the current situation, Ajax will fight on three fronts, and Zhang Yuning will definitely have a lot of opportunities. I specially had a meal with Edwin van der Sar, and he said that Zhang Yuning's ranking currently exceeds that of Ajax's own youth training. Dolberg, who is still too young, and the original plan to loan teenager Traore from Chelsea has also been shelved."

"Okay." Gao Han nodded vigorously.

Judging from the current start of this season, Zhang Yuning must have gained a firm foothold. As long as he performs stably, getting more game opportunities will definitely not be a problem, and Ajax will pay more and more attention to him.

Of course, if he wants to go further, he has to perform better. At the very least, he has to outperform his teammates of similar ages in the team and show his best level in the competition.

Although the Eredivisie is not the top league, the competition among every team is extremely fierce. No one can help him in this regard. He can only rely on his own efforts. The only thing Gao Han can do is to try his best to maintain the momentum of progress. .

The national team really needs a strong center!

"According to the schedule of the top 12 matches, the Football Association has also made appropriate fine-tuning of the Chinese Super League. Except for the national players participating in the AFC Champions League, everyone else will arrive on the 21st. The training location is arranged in Shenyang, where we will train On the 29th, we will fly directly from Shenyang to South Korea. After playing the first game, we will return to Shenyang on the second day to prepare for the game against Iran."

In order to shorten the team's travel back and forth as much as possible, the home game against Iran was arranged in Shenyang, which was the blessed place where China entered the World Cup in Korea and Japan. Everyone hopes to launch another impact on the World Cup from here.

Combined with the map of China on the desktop, everyone on the coaching staff can clearly see the locations of Shenyang and Seoul, South Korea.

There is really no way to do this except that China is too big.

"Lorenzo, from the 21st to the 29th, our time is very precious. I need you to come up with a physical training plan as soon as possible to ensure the physical condition of our players in the next two games. Especially, we need to consider It’s the back and forth of several overseas players.”

This time Gao Han will recruit three overseas international players, Zhang Yuning, Wang Lei and Zhao Jun. Other overseas players such as Gao Ren, Yang Xin and Wei Shihao are temporarily unable to meet the strength of the national team. The recruitment will only occupy one quota and will be of no benefit.

But Gao Han will call them and explain the situation clearly to them, and the national team will continue to pay close attention to their movements.

Buenaventura is the team's physical fitness coach. After listening to Gao Han's words, he thought about it for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

"Sergio, pay close attention to the movements of the two opponents, South Korea and Iran. You must give me a detailed analysis report before the training camp. I want to know their every move."

Sergio Garcia immediately made a gesture of reassurance, which is his specialty.

"Xiao Mu."

"I am here."

"Tomorrow you will lead the team to Shenyang to inspect and arrange the scene. As soon as the international players arrive, they will start training immediately."

Xiao Mu immediately nodded in agreement, this was also his responsibility.

"This time our two opponents are both top teams in Asia. To be honest, facing such opponents, we are completely at a disadvantage. In the past two decades, the Chinese team has played many games with South Korea and Iran, but in official games We only won one game and lost all the others, especially South Korea. Koreanphobia is the curse above our heads."

When the words "Korean phobia" were mentioned, Gao Han's face became obviously ugly, because he knew the effect of this curse.

If China's overall strength is comparable to that of South Korea, it would be okay, but the terrible thing is that China's current strength is far behind South Korea. Coupled with this Korean phobia, it can be said to be fatal.

As for Iran, even when they last entered the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the Chinese team led by Milou in 2001 also lost to Iran 0-4 in the Civilization Cup. The last time they won was in the Second World Cup. In the 2004 Asian Cup, China defeated Iran with a penalty kick.

But in the past ten years, China has encountered Iran five times. One Asian Cup resulted in a two-two draw, and the other four warm-up matches had one win and three losses. The overall results were also at a disadvantage, not to mention Iran's performance in the current World Cup qualifiers. The performance is quite good, and the overall strength is better than that of China.

"Against these two major opponents, we can only rely on defense. If we can defend, we will survive. If we cannot defend, we will die." Gao Han said solemnly.

Everyone knows that he is the best coach who is good at attacking and regards offense as his life, but at this moment he has to compromise and defend.

There is no other reason. Compared with the Chinese team, the opponent is too strong.
