Smiling Proudly

Chapter 90 Consortium Competition
In this way, at the last moment, the Monaco team launched a crazy counterattack.

But what did you do early?

In the end, Arsenal won the game 3-0 cleanly in the away game, and advanced to the next round of the Champions League knockout round 5-3 in two rounds.

The opponent for the next round will be decided on Friday.

Saturday is the Premier League game, and Arsenal are going to an away game against the Magpies Newcastle.

As for this game, the English media named it the Consortium Derby.

One of the big reasons is because this season, both teams have news that they will be acquired by a consortium.

And these two news were reported to Shi Hammer by the paparazzi brother Sun.

So very reliable.

before this particular game.

Wang Yi and his teammates watched the draw ceremony in the club.

Arsenal's opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals is Porto, which can be said to be the best opponent in the quarter-finals.

Of course, it is only relative. None of the teams that can reach this stage is bad. Of course, there will be no teams with big gifts. Be careful and become Bayern Munich for 14 years.

Wang Yi can clearly feel that the members of the coaching staff are busy.

Now the league is still 6 points away from the top Chelsea, two games away, and Chelsea have already been eliminated in the Champions League and the FA Cup, they can now focus on the league.

As for Arsenal, the gap in the league is not that big, and it is definitely impossible to give up and give up this hard-won opportunity to compete for the league championship. The Champions League, although it is not an opponent of the big gift package, is definitely weaker. , which makes it even more impossible for Wenger to give up the Champions League, and who would give up the Champions League knockout?
In this way, Arsenal's burden is a bit heavy, especially since the FA Cup has entered the next round.

But fortunately, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is on April 4, and there are still more than 16 days to go.

Speaking of which, Porto's eighth-final draw was also particularly good. It drew Basel, a team from the non-five major leagues, and won the opponent with a 5-1 victory in two rounds.

Porto's offensive ability should not be underestimated, especially the two Brazilian full-backs. In Wenger's view, these two full-backs have strong offensive capabilities, Sandro and Danilo.

Wenger has a lot of ideas about left back Sandro, and he just took advantage of the game to investigate.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the league game against Newcastle.

Newcastle's performance this season is poor. Alan Pardew has left during the season. Now his assistant has taken over the team, but the team still has not improved, and it ranks in the top of the relegation team. Now Newcastle is also a relegation team. team only.

Therefore, after Wenger chose the starting lineup, he only played half of the main players, and more players had to keep the starters from the previous Champions League game.

And it is also difficult for Wenger to fully focus on the game.

First, Newcastle really pulled their hips. In the first half, they fell behind by 3 goals against the half-main Arsenal.

Wenger also sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

At this time, his mind was on the meeting the day before the game.

Kroenke Jr., Fang Jie from Sining Sports, and Zhang Yi, the boss of the Big Bear Group who joined the competition.

In fact, in general acquisition cases, the boss directly sends an agent to negotiate.

But this time it turned out that the bosses of the two companies came to talk, Wenger was really surprised.

Fang Jie looked at Zhang Yi on the other side of the negotiating table, his eyes flickered a little. In his opinion, there was no need for Zhang Yi to join this acquisition.

Sining Group has been involved in sports for many years, and has acquired clubs in China. The domestic Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga and La Liga broadcasts are all in the hands of Sining Sports, and Big Bear Group does have the number one social media software in China. Its game business is even Highest income in the world.

But I have never heard that they intend to plan a sports career.

Fang Jie was a little confused.

After all, a team of Arsenal's level will definitely not be able to win without 10 billion euros. How much will it cost to operate every season after it is won.

Although the Premier League's broadcast income is indeed high, the habit of making money like this is not the style of the Big Bear Group.

And I haven't heard that Zhang Yi himself likes football.

Fang Jie himself is a die-hard fan. The one he wanted to acquire the most was Inter Milan. After all, people of his age watched Serie A most often when they were young.

Originally, he had already aimed at Inter Milan, but suddenly, there were rumors that the Arsenal club might change hands.

In this era, the Premier League is still Serie A, so it is not that difficult to choose, let alone Arsenal, a team that can enter the Champions League all the year round, although it will definitely be much more expensive than Inter Milan.

But the influence after the acquisition will be much greater.

Moreover, Fang Jie hired a professional team to calculate. Even if 1 million euros are invested in each season, but relying on Arsenal's performance in the top four in the Premier League every season, the Premier League's broadcast revenue share can already be secure The recovered funds are back.

We must know that this is an era when the Premier League relegation team can earn 1 million euros in broadcast income.

Plus the Champions League prize money.

earn every year.

What's more, it's impossible to invest 1 million every season. When you first start to change blood, you need to invest a lot, but after you mature, you can just tinker.

This is Fang Jie's idea.

But the slogan still needs to be shouted loudly.

At this stage, Arsenal's boss Kroenke Jr. wants to rush to make a move. They have 60% of the shares in their hands, and Usmanov holds the remaining 30% of the shares.However, according to Fang Jie's understanding, Usmanov has long wanted to sell the shares, but he only wants to buy them to the major shareholder. In other words, as long as Fang Jie himself becomes the major shareholder of Arsenal, then he is likely to become Arsenal The largest shareholder in history will definitely have a great voice at that time.

Little Kroenke is naturally happy to see new competitors emerge.

What I had previously discussed with Fang Jie was a buyout price of 24% of the shares for 60 billion euros.

The reasons given by Kroenke Jr. are also very good. His father Kroenke previously wanted to buy the remaining shares of Arsenal. Naturally, its shares will exceed 13 billion euros.

The price given by Fang Jie is 18 billion euros, which is a lot worse, but Fang Jie has long observed that Kroenke has no interest in the Premier League. His father has passed away, so he is anxious to return to the United States to deal with the remaining matters , he believes that if he endures a little longer, he will soon be able to win the business, but now Zhang Yi is coming to compete.

Then let's see how much Zhang Yi is willing to give.

As for Wenger, he sat quietly aside.

Little Kroenke invited him to come, and he felt that this kid was much better than his father.

After explaining the situation, Kroenke looked anxiously at Zhang Yi.

"Mr Zhang, I wonder how much you are willing to bid?"
