Football giants

Chapter 429 This is called rich and powerful!
"For so many years, I have been telling everyone that I am a businessman. In my eyes, the NFL is a business. In my opinion, this business must revolve around players, owners and fans if it is to do well and become bigger and stronger!"

This is what Tagliabu said, the three axes of player satisfaction, boss making money and fan loyalty.

"Mr. Florentino's Real Madrid is undoubtedly very suitable for these three points. They have the best and biggest superstars. At the same time, they are also very good at playing the superstar card and using the amazing influence of superstars to open up the market. This has won them amazing influence in the United States!"

To put it bluntly, Real Madrid is the most popular football team in the United States!
Even in the Barcelona Grand Slam, they were far less popular than Real Madrid.

This is not without reason.

Because in the eyes of Florentino and Real Madrid, football is an entertainment that pleases the fans.

"There is another team, I am very shocked, and that is Southampton!"

Having said that, Tagliabu smiled, "That's what many young American fans call... saints!"

Everyone present couldn't help turning their eyes to Yang Huan, with different eyes.

There is admiration, dissatisfaction, displeasure, awe, everything.

"If it is said that Real Madrid's victory was based on the unique advantages of the club and on the basis of traditional football, then I think there is only one reason for Southampton's victory, and that is the Internet, especially social networks!"

Everyone couldn't help nodding again.

Tagoriabu's words really hit the nail on the head, saying the core.

What makes people dissatisfied is that Southampton players are very popular on the Internet. Even if players like Neymar and Pogba show off their cuteness a little, they can make hundreds of thousands of fans excited for a long time, and even appear on tomorrow's newspaper page.

There are Ibrahimovic and Ravel? Morrison, this bad boy image is also very popular.

Southampton aren't just good at using the internet to boost the profile of their teams and players.

They are also good at turning this influence into real benefits through business operations.

To put it more simply, it is money!

"Two years ago, I heard someone say for the first time that the reason for the saints was that they held a superstar franchise meeting on the Internet through social tools, and it became an instant hit!"

Speaking of this matter, everyone, even Roselle who disliked Yang Huan the most, had to be convinced.

It can be said that it was the press conference two years ago that earned Southampton enough popularity.

In the past two years, the Internet has gradually entered the football field, and some clubs have started to follow suit, but they have rarely seen success.

But it's no wonder if you think about it, how old is Florentino?
He doesn't even know how to use the kidney machine, let alone WeChat, Facebook and Twitter.

Russell is a little younger, but he doesn't use WeChat either.

The management of these football giants are old men who can't keep up with the Internet age, so naturally they can't afford this kind of new tricks. Even if they want to learn after seeing Southampton's success, how can it be so easy?

"Now in the United States, the Saints are the third most popular team among young people, second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and even surpassed Manchester United. If you want to count the total number of players, they are also ranked fourth, behind Manchester United."

"But you must know that two years ago, the vast majority of Americans had never heard of this team. This is the astonishing change brought about by the Internet!"

Everyone present was very thoughtful when they heard this.

Regardless of whether they accept it or not, Southampton has risen strongly and has become a fresh force that cannot be ignored in European and even world football, even if it has only risen for only two years!

"Everyone, as someone who has spent half his life in the American sports industry, I would like to say that football has an amazing appeal and influence all over the world, which makes it easier and cheaper than other sports to develop football in overseas markets!"

"In the United States, the football market has just started, and there is still a huge potential to be tapped. This requires all of us to work together, work together, and persevere!"

Everyone present is the club owner or the helmsman, but at this moment, in front of Tagliab, they are all like a group of students, learning and understanding the familiar but very unfamiliar huge market of the United States.

If the annual revenue of the NFL can reach 900 billion U.S. dollars, then the football market does not need to be much. As long as it has one tenth, no, even one percent, it is enough for all the rich teams present to make a lot of money.

Therefore, after listening to Tagoriabu's words, everyone present stood up and applauded.

They affirmed Tagliab's analysis from the bottom of their hearts.

This also made each of them decide to be more united, around Miracle Media, and strive to create a good International Champions Cup.

Because as long as this event works, they will make a lot of money!
It may be that Tagliab's words gave too much excitement to everyone present, so that after he finished speaking, the entire living room began to discuss, and there was a lot of voices.

Yang Huan hadn't said a few words to Tagliab when Mubarak came up and made a surprising decision.

"We decided to set up a football team in New York, and strive to participate in the American Major League in three years!"

"New York?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

"Yes, New York currently has a New York Red Bull, but we cooperate with the New York Yankees to establish a new football team and invite old European stars to play in the United States."

Yang Huan, Peter Kenyon, and Tagliab looked at each other, and they all recognized it.

The Abu Dhabi consortium is rich and willful, and their intention is to use money to build popularity and brand.

In the current market of the major leagues in the United States, it is impossible to make money at all by bringing in past stars to play football.

It belongs to the business of losing money and making money!

At least Yang Huan can't be as reckless as the Abu Dhabi people. Their money comes from underground oil, but Master Huan's money is hard earned. Can it compare?
And looking at it from another perspective, instead of entering the field now, it is better to pay close attention to it first, and when the time is right, directly acquire a team and enter the US market through a back door.

After thinking about this level, Yang Huan laughed.

"Okay, Kardun, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to mention it, I will definitely help!"

Mubarak was waiting for this sentence, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I will thank you in advance!"

Just at this time, Yang Huan saw the short and fat Florentino nodding and smiling at him not far from the window, and immediately apologized to Mubarak and others, and walked over.

"Hello, Florentino!" Yang Huan smiled and stretched out his hand from a distance, "I'm very glad that you can come in person!"

"It's my pleasure!" Florentino laughed.

Yang Huan knew very well that Florentino would definitely not be idle when he took time out of his busy schedule.

Sure enough, after talking politely for a while, he got to the point.

"Mr. Yang Huan, your Southampton's ability to operate in the transfer market is too strong. We are paying close attention to Gareth Bale and Hazard, and now you have won them!" Florentino said with a smile.

Yang Huan smiled politely, but thought to himself, this is all the result of buying bones with a lot of money back then.

Back then, when Yang Huan first came here, he directly threw out 1000 million in order to introduce Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Do you really think that money was wasted?
Nowadays, in the entire European football agent circle, the team that likes to cooperate most is Southampton.

There is no other reason, it is bold enough!

You must know that European football is already a very mature football market, and the transfer of players also has a mature operating mechanism. Agents play a huge key role in this set of mechanisms.

Yang Huan can handle the agent, and he can naturally be more comfortable in the transfer market.

Didn't you see those teams who like to care about the transfer market, it is often difficult to buy the players they want?
"Florentino, you are not a player who wants to poach me, are you?" Yang Huan asked knowingly with a smile.

The Spanish fat man did not deny it, "How about it? Sell Neymar to Real Madrid, the price, whatever you want!"

What is rich and powerful?
This is called rich and powerful!
It's just...they didn't spend their own money at all!
Yang Huan neither agreed nor refused, just chuckled and said, "Florentino, we have just been promoted to the Premier League this year!"

Florentino is a smart person, and immediately understood, "Then next summer!"

Yang Huan smiled again, "I can only promise you, if I want to sell Neymar, I will notify you!"

"Okay! Let's make a deal!" Florentino was also a straightforward person, and he agreed with a laugh.

This can be regarded as a promise made by Yang Huan to him.

"But with two players, you shouldn't say no, right?"

"Carvajal?" Yang Huan guessed one of them.

Florentino nodded, "And Strowman, he is the player named by Mourinho."

Yang Huan curled his lips and laughed, "Then you have to prepare enough banknotes!"

"Oh?" Florentino also laughed.

"Mubarak just mentioned him to me, and David Gill wants it too."

Strowman was in demand, and Florentino was not surprised at all.

The youngest captain in the history of the Dutch national team played in the core area of ​​the midfield in the Dutch warm-up matches before the European Cup, and his performance was quite good, very powerful.

This year is a big competition year, and Strowman is already in demand. If he performs well in the European Cup, his worth will definitely be even higher.

With the shrewdness of Yang Huan and the saints, they will not let go until at least the end of the European Cup, making it clear that they want to sit on the ground and raise the price.

But what can be done?

After Modric was taken by Southampton, there were very few high-level midfielders in Europe. Which one is not in demand?

Yang Huan is a little loose in the transfer of Carvajal, but the value of this Real Madrid youth training star will certainly not be too low.

After all, he performed well last season, whether it was in the English Championship, the England Cup, or the Europa League.

This also made Carvajal's worth skyrocket.

More importantly, when Yang Huan bought Carvajal two years ago, he did not sign a redemption clause with Real Madrid.

So, Real Madrid want someone?

Okay, impress me with money!

As for the players, Yang Huan is confident that he can hold on.

Florentino is also the kind of person who takes care of big things, and won't lose his temper just because of such a small amount of money. He clearly knows what Yang Huan is thinking, but he still talks and laughs with him, as if he has forgotten his old friends.

Yang Huan had a sudden whim and thought of one thing.

"Florentino, I want to ask you something."

"Please say, as long as I can tell, I must not hide it." Florentino seemed very frank.

Yang Huan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking about the secrets of Real Madrid's dressing room."

After a pause, Yang Huan continued to ask with a smile.

"I would like to ask, what is the situation of Madrid's urban planning in the next few years? What about La Penneta Stadium?"
