Top of the Great Era

This year there is the European Cup.

Zhou Buqi has the opportunity and time to go to the European Cup final, but there are too many girls around, and they generally have no interest in football, so I won’t go.

I've seen it anyway.

In the final, Spain beat Italy without a striker.

Pass control football has ushered in its peak period.

However, this is also the last elegy.

In the past few years, pass-and-control football has shocked Europe, and it is basically a crushing existence.Especially Barcelona, ​​that is really a notch ahead of all teams.

It's almost over.

There are many capable players in European football, and it is impossible for a pass-and-control style of play to remain invincible forever, and it will go downhill in the future.Therefore, when the major giants are snapping up Spanish players, Zhou Buqi remained calm and maintained the greatest respect for Klopp.

At the beginning of July, Zhou Buqi came to the UK with a large group of nearly 7 young and beautiful girls.

The moment he stepped off the yacht, Zhou Buqi felt that his legs were a little weak.

Depend on!
Although beauty is good, don’t be greedy for too much!
This is a bit too much!
Throwing them all in London and letting them go shopping and spend whatever they want, Zhou Buqi only took Sun Wanran as his personal assistant by his side, and hurriedly got up and went to Manchester.

Avoid it first.

There's no way, Boss Zhou has a strong nature, and he can't let them see that he is strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

At this time, you can see the importance of Aunt Xue.

When encountering this kind of thing before, Aunt Xue would always quietly cook some chicken soup to nourish him, and even gently dissuade him for a while.

Sun Guanran is actually very sensible.

However, he is young, and his eyesight can't keep up with it. He didn't even notice that Boss Zhou was a little bit overwhelmed, and he thought he was enjoying it.

Along the way, she helped him organize his shifts in an orderly manner, favoring which girl at which time... so as not to neglect some people, she came to supervise him to do a good job of evenly covering the rain and dew.

After going to Manchester, Zhou Buqi was relieved.

Aunt Xue is not here, but my own mother is.

It's better to find some comfort from my own mother, to mend it and take it easy.

But I can't let my father know about it.

If he were to find out, he would definitely be scolded head-on and face-to-face, even a dozen little goblins couldn't handle it, which would really damage the man of the Zhou family.

When I arrived in Manchester, I mainly focused on football.

The European Cup has just ended, and the transfer market is surging, and the major giants are actively vying for those players who will shine in the European Cup.

Manchester United remained restrained.

The team changed too much last season, and this season it is necessary to maintain a stable lineup to a certain extent to welcome Klopp's second season.

Only a certain level of minor tinkering is required.

Such as left.

Giggs is getting old, and Bell's physical attributes are not too strong, so he will always suffer injuries.The technical department made a suggestion as early as April, saying that Giggs should be retired, and then the left winger Hazard, who is very popular in Europe and has great potential, will be introduced.

Zhou Buqi was very happy when he heard it, and he supported this suggestion very much.

But then the plan fell through.

First of all, Giggs doesn't want to retire. His plan is to play for another year and retire next summer.As the minister of Manchester United's revival, if the club wants to give him the greatest respect, the sports department can only provide him with another one-year contract extension.

Secondly, it is the attitude of sports director Rangnick and head coach Klopp.

Neither of them are optimistic about Hazard.

The talent, strength and potential of this Belgian winger are unparalleled and amazing.However, his professionalism does not seem to be strong enough, his life is not self-disciplined enough, his diet is not healthy enough, and most importantly, his training attitude is not serious enough.

That's not going to work.

Manchester United established a strong "spiritual power" in the Ferguson era, with a fighting spirit from the inside out. Rangnick and Klopp also continued this kind of spiritual tactical style.

A Hazard who is not serious is likely to destroy the training atmosphere of the entire team and affect the firm willpower in the locker room. He is too lazy.

I would rather not have him affect the team.

Manchester United later abandoned the plan.

Then, Chelsea officially announced the introduction of Belgian winger Hazard.

There is also a plan to buy South Korean star Sun Xingmin to replace Park Ji-sung.This plan is not considered from the perspective of the team, but for the commercial promotion of the club.

At Sun Xingmin's current level, playing as a substitute for Manchester United is not enough.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Buqi.

Buying Sun Xingmin... At worst, his talent will be wasted, and this player with infinite glory in the future will sink on the bench.

Anyway, as long as it can help Manchester United's commercial promotion in South Korea.

But Sun Xingmin has a good father.

He is unwilling to let Sun Xingmin sit on the bench with a high salary, and would rather continue to practice in the Bundesliga with a low salary, and wants to get the chance to play to improve his ability...

That leaves nothing to say.

Zhou Buqi responded to the suggestion made by his second sister Shi Jingmei, saying that he could turn to buy another Asian player, the Japanese player Shinji Kagawa who is currently playing for Dortmund.

It will not only help Manchester United strengthen their commercial promotion in the Japanese market, but also give Shi Jingmei's player blind box a chance to sell well in the Japanese market.

Klopp welcomed the deal.

He likes Kagawa Shinji very much.

This person is very polite, humble, serious in training, and his work attitude can be described as meticulous... It is a complete replica of Hazard.

In terms of football skills, he is certainly far behind Hazard.

But Klopp likes players who work hard and have a great catalytic effect in the dressing room... From this point of view, this can be regarded as Manchester United's tradition, from Sir Busby to Sir Alex Ferguson. tendency.

Klopp has also carried on this tradition well.

Zhou Buqi now has a deeper understanding of European football.

Football is really not just a technical and tactical competition on the field.

Just like many Megatron European head coaches, when they go to coach Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they will always overturn. If you can't even manage people well, how can you let them play football?

This also made him understand why the world famous coaches hired by the national football team are always ineffective.

The technical and tactical level of the head coach is just an appearance.

What is more important is the management of the team and the handling of the relationship in the locker room.

It's like managing a company.

On the surface, it is to manage the business, to do a good job in the business and to make a good performance.In fact, it is about managing people. Only when people are managed well can the business be done well.

In his previous life, Zhou Buqi always listened to European giants, such as Real Madrid, Bayern, Liverpool and other clubs, and always talked about his own values... Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand.

What values ​​can a football club have?It's also too foolish.

Now it is somewhat understood.

The value of Manchester United is to manage people first and then manage affairs.

This is simply in line with Zhou Buqi's corporate management philosophy, and it can be called a match made in heaven.

As an entrepreneur who has come out of the domestic IT industry, Zhou Buqi's business philosophy is of course also influenced by the mainstream business management ideas of domestic private enterprises established by Mr. Liu and Mr. Ma, and he firmly implements it. Those who continue.Unexpectedly, it has been several years since the acquisition of Manchester United, only to gradually realize that it fits so well with Manchester United's values.

This made Zhou Buqi calm down.

This time he went to Sweden, he visited Volvo.

I also learned about the restructuring method Geely chose after acquiring Volvo.

Geely has done a good job in the reorganization. The merger process of the two companies has been smooth, and the communication and communication between the two companies have also been smooth.

But the idea behind this is completely different.

The auspicious way is to manage things.

That is, the original Volvo people will not be moved at all, and those Swedes will not be cared about.Geely just proposes an indicator, a KPI, and then lets Volvo do things.

Don't care about people, just do things.

Of course, the merger will be very easy, and those Swedish executives at Volvo will be very happy, they can be free without restraint, and the restructuring process will be very smooth.

Zhou Buqi really couldn't accept this model.

It's like unpacking the blind box.

It's just a gamble.

Under the Geely Group, there is a black box blind box named "Volvo". I don't know what is inside the black box blind box.It's just that at a certain point in time, a report card will be sent in the blind box.

That's just too much lack of control.

It is also difficult to achieve true integration.

Reorganizing Yahoo certainly can't do that.

If this kind of blind box model, the headquarters doesn't even know what's inside the blind box, how can we modify the blind box?I can only put forward a series of requirements and indicators for the blind box, and let them do it by themselves... Zhou Buqi doesn't believe that the people at Yahoo can transform it by themselves.

Zhou Buqi did not see Rangnick and Klopp. The former went to Brazil to handle the transfer of Neymar, and the latter went on vacation.On the club side, he saw CEO David Gill.

First, I talked about the renovation of the Old Trafford stadium for a while.

The renovation of the stadium this summer is expected to cost 7500 million pounds. The ground and the ground will be renovated together, and the ground will be further strengthened and reinforced from the inside.

The amount of underground work is huge, and the bottom of the stadium must be hollowed out to turn it into a huge toll parking lot.Once completed, the car park is expected to bring in £500-800m a year for the club.

Then, Zhou Buqi mentioned player transfer again, and said, "That Kane from Tottenham, are you in touch?"

David Gill smiled, "I have been paying attention, and I have established a good personal relationship with his parents."

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "There is also the Korean Sun Xingmin, we must keep an eye on it."

"So optimistic about him?"

"The potential is good, and the commercial value is also high. The Korean and Japanese markets are huge, and we must continue to pay attention to them and cultivate them for a long time."

"After half a month, the preparations for the preseason will begin. Manchester United will have an Asian tour." David Gill has already made arrangements, "China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, there will be four friendly matches."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, it's good."
