Super Marshal

At the end of August each year, fans all over the world will focus on the Grimalti Convention Center in Monaco.

Last year, Gao Han did not participate because Manchester City did not qualify for the Champions League, but this year UEFA not only sent an invitation letter, but also personally called the invitation. Gao Han really could not evade it and could only agree, and Manchester United coach Ferguson was also with him.

The two first arrived in London, joined Wenger, and then left for Monaco from London.

Chelsea coach Scolari returned to Brazil this year and was unable to participate in the draw.

Along the way, the topic of the three never left football.

Since the Gunners were fourth in England last season, Wenger was once again dubbed the nickname of the Four Devils by the fans, so this season Arsenal will play the third round of qualifiers, which is just a piece of cake for Wenger. Successfully advanced to the group stage.

As a result, among the four English teams this season, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all entered the first tier as seeded teams, which is not a good thing for the other five seeded teams.

The other five teams are Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.

These five teams are also under great pressure, because in accordance with the principle of avoiding the same league in the group stage draw, Manchester City’s opponents will appear from these five teams, and no one wants to meet Manchester City in the group stage in advance. .

But what is even more frightening is the second-tier teams. Real Madrid, Lyon, Werder Bremen, Valencia and Marseille are all good teams. No matter who wins these teams unfortunately, then It must be a breakdown.

Even if it is more unfortunate... it is entirely possible that it is the group of death.

Because of this, all the major European giants are in danger before the game, but only the top three in England are gloating.

For Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, as long as they can avoid Manchester City, it is a good sign.

The three arrived at the Grimaldi Conference Center and immediately attracted the attention of many media reporters from all over the world outside the venue, but none of them stayed outside the venue and entered the conference center directly after getting off the bus.

In fact, there is indeed no need to stay, because the media reporters’ questions are clear to them, and they must ask about the draw, and Gao Han avoids it because he does not want to respond directly to the storm of the La Liga strike.

As the attitude of the referee committee, the coaching committee and the players union eased, the Spanish Football Association fell into a dilemma of isolation, but it was still stubbornly resisting, which made the La Liga round of the new season had to be postponed.

However, now from the government, the highest sports council and professional leagues, to referees, coaches and players, and to the most ordinary fans, everyone blames the greed of the Spanish Football Association for the reason for the strike. This makes the Spanish Football Association's current The pressure is very high, and compromise should be sooner or later.

The professional leagues have even issued ruthless words. If the Spanish Football Association persists, it will not rule out starting the game on its own. The few powers that the Football Association originally held will be completely deprived of them, and they will be completely reduced to a tasteless role from then on. Not as good as the FA.

Of course, this move is a draw from the bottom of the pan, and it will bring many problems. The professional league is just putting pressure on it, and it will definitely not do it as a last resort, but it can clearly see the pressure of the Spanish Football Association.

As soon as Gao Han walked into the conference center, he saw Guardiola, Simeone and Emery at first sight.

They used the phone to know that Gao Han was coming soon, so they stood at the door and blocked him.

"Ha, people who don't play in the league are more leisurely."

As soon as Gao Han saw them, he immediately greeted them with a smile, but there was a burst of teasing in his mouth.

"The main reason is that you have bigger cards and always come out at the finale."

"Isn't it? I couldn't invite you last year."

"No way, people don't play in the Champions League, so why are you so embarrassed?"

The three of them sneered at each other. As a result, a group of people burst into laughter as soon as they met, causing the audience to look at each other for a while.

Either a club boss, a well-known European coach, or a famous European football player are present. When going out, they are the number one with a face and face. But at this moment, I see the circle next to Gao Han, especially seeing more and more people. Leaning over, I can't help feeling sigh.

In just ten years, Gao Han has risen from an unknown person to become the most influential figure in European football.

Among the four teams participating in the Champions League in La Liga this season, Barcelona’s coach Pep Guardiola is the disciple of Alpine, and Atletico Madrid’s coach Diego Simeone is Alpine’s former favorite and recommended, and the coach of Valencia. Unai Emery is also Alpine's right-hand man in the past, and he has the essence of Alpine's tactical philosophy.

Three of the four great power teams are deeply affected by the alpine, which shows how profound the influence of the alpine on Spanish football is.

As for the national team, not to mention, Aragones and Bosque respect Alpine, and Alpine still holds the title of technical adviser of the Football Association.

In addition to Spain, Serie A's Inter Milan and Bundesliga's Bayern Munich are also deeply affected by the alpine cold, and these two teams are now one of Europe's top strong teams with amazing combat effectiveness.

Therefore, many outside media have said that the past decade of European football has been a decade of high temperatures. This is not an exaggeration.

Look at the venue again. Almost all the hottest top coaches and all the big men of the clubs have moved closer when they saw the appearance of Gao Han. The influence of Gao Han in European football can be seen.

…………

The draw ceremony and the opening ceremony of the awards evening were still presided over by UEFA Secretary General Infantino.

The bald man is familiar to all fans for hosting this annual event, and his opening every year is exactly the same, that is, to introduce in detail the main work of UEFA in the past year, especially the exhibition of the UEFA Champions League.

For example, he would say every time that the UEFA Champions League has added several countries and regions to broadcast, or how much the UEFA Champions League broadcast fees and team bonuses have increased. These are undoubtedly the concern of many fans.

From Infantino’s mouth, everyone learned that last season’s Champions League’s prize money reached a new high. Barcelona won the championship with a record prize of 45 million euros, and Manchester United followed closely with 4,000. Two million euros ranked second.

This is undoubtedly a very surprising report card.

Ordinary fans often only notice the excellent results of the English League in terms of revenue generation, but ignore the continuous revenue generation of the Champions League. Although the increase is not as good as the English League, the pace is more stable and the momentum is also very strong.

More importantly, the Champions League is the highest platform for the professional league today.

The reason why Manchester United can be ranked second on the money list is due to the fact that the new broadcast contract signed by the English broadcaster Sky TV and UEFA has been much higher than before. This makes it divided into the four English leagues participating in the UEFA Champions League. The bonus has also been improved.

UEFA’s UEFA Champions League’s bonus distribution is mainly composed of two parts. One part is the market bonus, which is the revenue of the UEFA Champions League broadcast rights of the country where the team is located, and is distributed by the participating teams in the country in accordance with their results.

For example, the market bonus of the English League is the broadcast fee for the UEFA to sell the broadcasting rights of the UEFA Champions League in England to Sky TV. Most of the income is directly distributed to the four English teams in the form of market bonuses.

Therefore, the higher the cost of selling the broadcasting rights, the more profitable the country’s UEFA Champions League teams will receive.

Of course, you also have to consider the number of participating teams.

Another part is the participation bonus, which is the reward for participating in the Champions League, such as the appearance fee of the group stage, the winning bonus and the draw bonus and so on.

In fact, in addition to these two parts of the bonus, there is a very important income from the match day and sponsors.

Compared with the teams that only participate in the league, there are undoubtedly more games to participate in the Champions League, and the tickets for the Champions League are often the highest sellers. Fans and sponsors are also very expensive, so these two incomes are also quite amazing.

According to last season’s performance, Liverpool was eliminated from the group stage, but it also received a bonus of 27 million euros. Together with the group stage’s match day income and sponsorship income, the total income is estimated to be close to 40 million euros. .

But this season the Red Army missed the Champions League and suffered heavy losses.

"To be honest, your Chinatown should compete for the Champions League as soon as possible."

Infantino made a long speech on stage, and Ferguson whispered to Gao Han from the stage.

Gao Han heard a wry smile, "I said Jazz, you are not kind enough to say that. The front foot has just poached Mkhitaryan from me, and the back foot told me to compete for the Champions League qualification. Are you intentional?"

Guardiola and others who sat next to them all covered their mouths and laughed, and even Ferguson himself couldn't help it.

"I just kindly remind you that the Champions League is the key. Only by entering the Champions League can people be retained. Moreover, according to Spanish standards, an annual income of more than 30 million euros, what do you think?"

People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Gao Han knows this truth very well.

"Then do you know, how much is our game-day income in a year? It's less than your Manchester United's fraction. You let me fight for the Champions League?" Gao Han almost beat the old man to death. He just couldn't talk while standing.

"Haha, in fact, what he meant was to say, stop coaching in England, go back and take care of your team." Wenger smiled and revealed the truth.

Ferguson nodded tacitly at his opponent, as if to say that the parents who gave birth to me, Wenger who knew me.

"You continue to stay in England, we have nothing to play." Ferguson admitted reluctantly.

"I must win a Champions League in Manchester City!" Gao Han said very firmly.

After hearing this, Ferguson and others all felt normal, and felt that Gao Han had agreed to Mansour to do this.

But only Gao Han knew in his heart that he was to complete the task of the champion collector in the coaching system, and he always felt that the reward after the task was completed would be very attractive.

And now, except for England and French A, he has all completed.

Once the tasks of these two leagues are completed, Gao Han will seriously consider his future, because he has gradually realized that with the rapid development of Chinatown, it is difficult for him to take care of both sides as before.

While everyone was talking in low voices, Infantino on the stage finally ended his long talk~www.readwn.com~ The first was the award ceremony for the best goalkeeper. The former Spanish national gate Zubizareta came to the stage to award the award. , And the winner of this award is Cesar, who played for Inter Milan. This is mainly because the goalkeepers of the two teams participating in the Champions League final, Valdes and Asenjo, failed to have a satisfactory stable swing, so Cesar You got this award.

Cesar and Subizareta also selected eight seeded teams into eight different groups.

Followed by the best defender, this time Barcelona did his part, Pique won the award, and the former German defender Bremer was awarded the award.

When Pique received the best defender award from Bremer, he began to enter the second team's draw.
