Football giants

Chapter 766 Be sure to keep it!

"Damn, this group of guys, one or two really think we are a star processing factory, and they are all addicted to buying!"

At the St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, England, Yang Huan still looked aggrieved after he put down the phone.

Too much, is there any?

I finally made it to the final of the Champions League, and you one or two ran over to poach corners?

"Master Huan, what does Bayern Munich say?" Peter Kenyon asked with concern.

"What else can I say? I have trained them like my grandson, how dare they say anything?"

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourley looked at each other, their faces covered with waterfall sweat, our young master Huan is so tough!Mighty!

Looking at the entire European football world, how many can train Bayern Munich's Rummenigge like this?
Of course, this matter is indeed that Bayern Munich's management has not done enough kindness.

In Southampton just a few days ago, the two sides had a good talk and made an appointment not to poach each other, but as a result, as soon as they returned to Germany, they were immediately confused by the fans and the media. Without saying a word, they directly faxed the offer.

What's even worse, they even let the media know about it!

If Southampton doesn't handle this matter more strongly, what will the Saints fans think?
Is it possible that you really think Southampton is the star processing factory for all European teams?

Oh, if you have money, you can buy it if you want?
"Peter, we can't go on like this!" Yang Huan said solemnly, frowning.

Peter Kenyon was also thinking about this question. After hearing this, he couldn't help nodding, "Yes, we must adjust it!"

"In the past few years, we have been selling people, buying low and selling high. This is not a big problem in itself, and it is also a long-term sustainable development strategy for a team, but our current situation is obviously different from the past."

Ron Gourley's opinion is very much the same as that of Yang Huan and Peter Kenyon.

"We used to be a low-level league team and were newly promoted from the Premier League, so we couldn't keep people. Even if we wanted to stay, it would be difficult for us to keep stars who are eager to prove themselves on a bigger stage."

This is a very important reason why Southampton has insisted on selling people in the past few years.

Just like Neymar and Gareth Bale, they are going to top teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, can Southampton keep it?
"But now, our situation is not what it used to be. We are now stepping on the corpses of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League final. We have defended the league title in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons. We have enough confidence to compete with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City."

"Even if we really want to compete with top giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, we may not lose. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to retain players who are suitable for our long-term development strategy!"

"Well said!" After listening to Ron Gurley's words, Yang Huan praised him loudly and vigorously.

"In the past few years, we kept selling people because we knew ourselves. Even if we didn't sell, we wouldn't be able to keep them. But it's different now. As long as we want to stay, we can definitely keep them!"

Whether in terms of finances or team performance, Southampton is now a first-tier team.

The only thing lacking is years of accumulation.

But everyone who is familiar with Southampton knows that the Saints are now financially healthy and stable, especially with the completion of the new stadium, the whole world has felt the courage of Southampton.

According to preliminary estimates, the Saints fan club and the new stadium can bring Southampton an annual income of [-] million pounds.

This amount of money is enough to push Southampton into the top three in the European giants' income rankings.

Not to mention the share of the Premier League broadcast fee, the share of the Champions League, and the sponsorship fees of major sponsors.

All told, Southampton won't lose to any team, including Real Madrid and Manchester United.

It is also because of this that the Saints have enough confidence to keep their players.

"Ron!" Yang Huan thought for a while and made up his mind.

"Master Huan!"

"Look back and prepare immediately. We will start to renew the contracts of players, especially players like Toni Kroos, Neuer, Hazard and Suarez. They are all treasures in our team and must be retained!"

"Understood!" Ron Gurley was also excited.

If this group of players stays, then Southampton's combat effectiveness will not be much weaker.

More importantly, the Saints want to tell the world by renewing their contract that from now on, the Saints will no longer be a team that any wealthy team can poach corners wantonly as long as they have money.

From now on, Southampton will use the stars they have cultivated to rush into the ranks of the giants.

Even become the strongest super giant in Europe!

However, it is very simple to say, but it is very troublesome to do.

For example, Yang Huan said that if he wants to renew his contract, he will have to raise his salary and break the current salary structure of the team.

This is something that has to be done carefully, really is a critical step of repeated prudence.

Because once the salary structure is broken, if it is not well controlled, it may drag down the team anytime and anywhere.

Don't look at the Saints' current financial situation, but once their salaries get out of control, they will still be finished.

But this step is imperative.

The reason is simple, just look at Arsenal.

Over the past few years, the Gunners have sold their captains every year, one by one more happily, but in the end, the entire team fell apart.

That is to say, Arsenal also has a Wenger to ensure that the team firmly occupies the top four in the league every year and enters the Champions League. Otherwise, the Gunners would have no idea where the decline has gone.

As for Yunyun who said that the shooter had no money, that was also intoxicating.

There is still a large amount of cash lying in Arsenal's account. Is this called having no money?
In the final analysis, you can enter the Champions League lying down, so why sign up?

No, the situation last season was just a little bit worse. As soon as Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur rose, Arsenal would immediately have money. Higuain, Ozil and others all came.

What about the results?

Still in the top four!

Therefore, Yang Huan also had to consider that if Southampton continued to sell like this and let others take what they wanted, they might be sold to become the next Arsenal at some point!
"By the way, Peter, how is Sun Yue going?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

How to take advantage of this Champions League final to establish the status of Southampton and Atletico Madrid's first-tier teams in one fell swoop is what Yang Huan is most concerned about now.

Today's professional football does not mean that if you play beautifully on the football field and kill your opponent, you will win.

It's so easy!

Back then Liverpool staged a miracle in Istanbul, and even reached the Champions League final again after [-], but now?
The Red Army is still a hanging silk!
Why?

It is because the commercial operation of the Liverpool club is too clumsy!
In contrast to Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley's Manchester United, and later Chelsea, the Champions League final is a very important publicity platform, which has helped these two teams lay a very good commercial foundation.

Needless to say, Manchester United's Red Devils business empire, even Chelsea, after the Champions League final in [-], the team's commercial income has made considerable progress, but then Abramovich himself killed himself, first fired Peter Kenyon, and later fired Ron Gourley, resulting in a significant decline in Chelsea's commercial income.

Therefore, this time Yang Huan attaches great importance to this Champions League final, even comparable to the World Cup final!

Master Huan took it seriously, so the people below naturally didn't dare to be careless.

"Two days ago, Miracle Media submitted a feasible plan to us and Atletico Madrid respectively. We all think it is quite good, and we will implement it according to this set of plans."

"Yeah!" Yang Huan still had confidence in their abilities.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and then I saw the club's executive chairman, Nicola Cortez, open the door and come in, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and came straight to Master Huan.

"Master Huan, this is the guest we plan to invite in the Champions League final, take a look!"

However, all teams participating in the Champions League final often have a tradition of inviting a series of guests to form a large-scale cheering group.

Generally speaking, the invited guests include representatives of sponsors, relatives and friends of the players, but the most eye-catching ones are the stars of the past, or the celebrities of the past.

The size of the cheering team is often talked about by many media and fans, and it is even linked to the influence and background of a club. For example, the size of Real Madrid's cheering team was amazing.

Among other things, Raul, Roberto Carlos, Guti, Hierro, Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Beckham and other former superstars made their debut, and their popularity exploded immediately.

Of course, there will be some teams that are relatively low-key. After all, all the expenses for inviting these famous people to watch and cheer are paid by the club itself.

Southampton is rich and powerful now, so it is not short of this money.

Yang Huan took the list from Nicola Cortez, "Nicola, you need to make arrangements first. All members of the [-] Saints Fan Club will be there to cheer. Prince William, his wife and Prince Harry will also be there, so you must make arrangements."

After hearing this, Nicola Cortes nodded immediately, indicating that he remembered it.

"In addition, I want to arrange for a group of youth players in the team to also go away. Regardless of the outcome, I hope they can advance and retreat with the club."

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

Yang Huan nodded and hummed before looking down at the list.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I didn't expect that there were quite a few people on the list of cheering groups in Southampton.

Because at the time of the Champions League final, the European leagues have generally ended, so Neymar of Barcelona, ​​Carvajal of Real Madrid, Gareth Bale and Vidal, as well as stars like Stroman, Schneiderlin, Adam Lallana, Benatia, etc. are all there.

In addition to these people, players such as Lambert, Chamberlain, Jose Fonte, Kevin Davis and other players who have never left in Southampton's most sluggish years are also listed among them.

This made Yang Huan nod uncontrollably and gave Nicola Cortez an appreciative look.

Although this banker is not as good as Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley in terms of commercial marketing and club management, he is indeed quite good in terms of financial and tax control, as well as the club's daily affairs.

Just, a little low-key!
"I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of celebrities we can get!" Yang Huan said with a slight smile.

At the end of the list are all the famous names before Yang Huan took over Southampton, some of which Yang Huan can't even pronounce their names, and some are more familiar, such as England full-back Bridge.

Yes, it is the tragic role of Terry's wife and wife incident. Unexpectedly, he is also from Southampton.

There is also Peter Hilton, the legendary goalkeeper of England in the past, and a legend of the Saints.

The other biggest names are Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer, both of whom are banner figures in English football.

When he saw this list, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

Our Southampton also has a few well-known celebrities, doesn't it?
