Super Marshal

Romance Chinese website, the fastest update of the latest chapters of super masters!

Professional football is always particularly cruel.

There is no so-called focus on participation at all, and its evaluation criterion is success or failure.

Stronger than Barcelona and Guardiola, in the face of this evaluation standard, they have to lower their arrogant head.

In the past season, Chinatown has both smiles of success and tears of failure.

After experiencing the trough at the beginning of the season, the team quickly got in place, and went all the way to catch up in the league, regained fourth place in the league, and retained the Champions League qualification. This allowed Chinatown to basically ensure that it can get from the Champions League next season At least tens of millions of euros in revenue from the tournament, which is also a big plus for the club's finances.

The Champions League reached the semi-finals and burst into a big upset. Chinatown not only made its name in European football, but also gave the team plenty of opportunities to exercise. From the coach to the players, the overall strength has improved significantly.

But this also brings a hidden danger, that is, from the coach to the players, they are coveted by many teams.

The results of the Copa del Rey have also improved a lot and entered the finals, but they were defeated by Barcelona with a great advantage. This game hit Chinatown the most, and it also allowed the team to see the relationship between itself and the top giants. Great disparity.

Gao Han is very confident in his team. With the current lineup, as long as two or three years of adjustment, he will definitely have the strength to compete with the top giants, and hope to compete for the La Liga championship, and even if the state is better, completely It is possible to hit the Champions League, but the current Chinatown is far from good.

This season's performance has been considered a high level of performance.

But more importantly, the giants will never give Chinatown such an opportunity.

As soon as the season was over, the corner digging hand penetrated the gate of China Town.

…………

"I just asked the Finance Department to make a statistics. The total prize money we allocated from UEFA to the UEFA Champions League last season reached 40 million euros. This is the game prize money plus the TV broadcast share."

The team disbanded immediately after the game, and many players had to rush to the national team, especially the Spanish internationals in the team, to return to the national team to prepare for the upcoming European Cup.

But the core management of the club can't. They have to calculate the revenue and expenditure of the past season, and at the same time summarize some of the problems and lessons that occurred last season.

The head coach Pochettino also started a holiday, and the technical director Cantarello attended the meeting as the head of the technical department.

At the beginning of the meeting, the general manager Armando Marcos took the lead in disclosing the club's financial income and expenditure. Among them, the Champions League income was highlighted, which surprised all those who participated in the meeting, including Gao Han.

"so much?"

The Alpine accident made Armando Marcos happy and smiled and nodded: "Yes, we reached the semi-finals, the last of the four teams in La Liga, so we have the most prize money for winning the championship."

Forty million euros, if this were put in the past, it would definitely be something Chinatown would never even think of.

"However, it is a pity that although our income in bonus sharing exceeds that of Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, we are the lowest income among the four teams if we include the match-day income from the Champions League games. The main reason is that our home income is too low."

The revenue brought by the UEFA Champions League is not just the sharing of game bonuses and TV broadcasting fees. The other two revenues are commercial sponsorship revenue and game day revenue.

Chinatown has received 40 million euros in prize money from UEFA, which is really good. It ranks third in European football, even more than Manchester City, because Manchester United gets the most in the prize pool in England.

In terms of commercial income, Chinatown has always been operating very well, except for the income of matchdays, it is not at the same level as other La Liga teams, let alone compared with the three giants, even Sevilla, Valencia and other teams are better than Chinatown.

The game-day income of the Champions League matches is also quite generous, and the price of tickets is also higher than that of the league, but Chinatown has lost a lot in this area, and this loss will continue until the new stadium is not activated.

It can be said that if it weren’t for the commercial sponsorship system that Armando Marcos has worked so hard to establish in the past two or three years, as well as the annual sales of players in the team to fill the financial deficit, Chinatown would simply not be able to support the current system. line-up.

"Because of the outstanding results in the Champions League this season, I am very pleased to tell you that in the past season, our club has truly achieved a balance of payments for the first time."

Armando Marcos's words immediately caused the heads of various departments in the entire conference room to applaud.

This is not easy!

How many teams in European football dream of wanting to achieve a balance of payments, but they can't do it anyway, Chinatown has done it. Although this is only temporary, it is also a very exciting thing.

"We will officially publish it on the guānfāng website, Twitter and China's Weibo tomorrow. I believe this will greatly inspire our supporters and at the same time make the players in the team more confident in our management."

Armando Marcos's words once again ushered in a round of warm applause.

"Of course, this is only temporary. A season’s balance of payments does not mean anything. The difficult part is how to maintain a long-term balance of payments, and our overall salary structure is still low even in La Liga. So, our The test has just begun." Armando Marcos said earnestly.

In the past few years, with the continuous influx of external capital and the advent of the information age, European football has ushered in explosive growth, and the financial income of various clubs has also increased by leaps and bounds, but the consequences are also obvious. That is, as a scarce resource, stars are worth more and more, and salaries are rising rapidly.

The Premier League is the leader in this regard. When the relegated teams of the Premier League can wield a transfer budget of tens of millions of pounds, it is conceivable to what extent the value of Premier League players will soar.

In addition, the teams with local tyrants such as Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Málaga have increased their investment. Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and other veteran giants have to start an arms race. When European football players turn Membership fees continue to hit new highs, and player salaries continue to set records.

Gao Han had predicted this situation very early, so he reached an agreement with Armando Marcos early, and he would rather sell the players and maintain the club's salary structure, which can be increased, but not skyrocketed.

The reason is very simple. Slow growth leaves a way behind. Once an explosive salary increase occurs, the club’s finances will face a huge crisis when the team’s income fluctuates, and once the salary structure rises, it will be difficult to lower it again, so it’s not allowed. Not treated with caution.

In this regard, everyone, including Armando Marcos, admired Gao Han.

Don’t look at Gao Han’s spending money at Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, burning hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars, without blinking, but in fact he is smarter than anyone and sees more clearly than anyone else, so he can create China this season. The city’s balance of payments.

"According to the reliable information we have, Barcelona is planning to renew the contract with Messi, and the annual salary will reach 15 million euros, and Manchester City will soon renew the contract with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the salary of the Portuguese may also reach. This surprising number."

When Armando Marcos said this, his face became very solemn.

"Based on our analysis, we absolutely have reason to believe that in the next few years, the salaries of European football players will once again usher in a rapid increase, so we must take measures in advance."

This is not difficult to understand at all.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two leading superstars in today’s world football. If you compare them to the locomotives of star salary increases, then when this locomotive keeps rushing forward, the stars behind are square They will also rush forward, although the increase is not as good as theirs, but the salary increase is inevitable.

Just ask, the two superstars have risen. Will Manchester City's Kaka, David Silva, Modric, Sanchez, Benzema, Harvey Alonso and Cech rise? Barcelona's Ibrahimovic, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and Alves, etc., will they rise again?

If both of these teams rise, will the annual salaries of the ace stars of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and other teams rise again?

In a loud environment, it is difficult for Chinatown to be alone.

"Last season, the team renewed the contract with many players in the team. Some players have just joined the team, but the salary extension must also be put on the agenda again. For example, Pellet, his annual salary and contract termination The gold is low, and players such as Rakitic, Hazard, Isco, etc. must renegotiate renewal."

The team performed well and the players shined. The consequence is that they face more poaching.

For example, Pellet, he was worth only 1 million euros when he joined Chinatown a year ago, but now?

After this season of tempering ~www.readwn.com~ The Italian center's performance and tactical role have been recognized, and his worth has skyrocketed fifteen times. The estimated value of a German authority is 15 million euros. Pellet’s liquidated damages were only 20 million euros, which was very high a year ago, but now it seems very dangerous.

Many Italian teams, including Juventus, ac Milan and Roma, are interested in Pellet. If they really try to dig people, are they not willing to pay a penalty of 20 million euros?

Of course, none of these three teams has had any contact with Chinatown yet. It is just that there has been some news in the transfer market. Obviously they are still not at ease with Pellet, worrying that the center who failed to prove himself in Italy is just Occasionally, it only breaks out for a season.

But the situation in the transfer market has changed suddenly. Who dares to say that they will definitely not dig Pellet?

What if it happens on the last day of the transfer period?

Even if they don’t make a move, is it justified that Pellet’s performance last season without a salary increase?

Without a salary increase, can he continue to maintain the level of performance this season next season?

To put it bluntly, the players just work for the club, and they should be paid as much as they do. Otherwise, it will dampen their enthusiasm and may also stimulate them to change jobs.

There are many players in the same situation as Pellet, such as Aubameyang, Hazard, Rakitic, Isco, Carvajal and other players, all facing the situation of having to raise their salaries.

This is one of the consequences of the team's outstanding performance last season.

And once it reaches the point where it can't rise, it can only sell people.

Of course, there is also a situation in which the offer from the other party is too generous, and Chinatown cannot give it at all, so it can only bear the pain.

For example, the Alba that Barcelona wants.
