Starting with Real Madrid

, the fastest update begins the latest chapter from coaching Real Madrid!

In the afternoon, the sun sets.

The turf at Old Trafford in Manchester is half in shade and half in sunlight.

The stands are full of seats, and the stadium is buzzing with people. It is a special feeling to be in it.

The Rose Derby is a very famous derby in the history of the Premier League. The entanglement of grievances and grievances directly originated from the War of the Roses. Manchester United and Leeds United were mortal enemies and forged deep hatred with each other.

But later, with the decline of Leeds United, it was gradually replaced by other derby games.

For example, the double red meeting, or the Manchester derby and so on.

In recent years, with the strong revival of Leeds United, the Rose Derby has once again become the focus of fans all over the world.

Especially this summer, after Manchester United and Leeds United had a quarrel, Ratcliffe, as a Manchester United hardcore, yelled out the sentence that he would never lose to Leeds United if he lost to anyone.

This is undoubtedly the most eye-catching label for this Rose Derby.

It is Manchester United's most important game in the Premier League!

Both teams are good at marketing, and the Premier League is also focused on building it. This makes the Rose Derby the focus of media and fans all over the world.

In fact, today's Leeds United is absolutely capable of breaking the wrist with Manchester United.

…

Accounting firm Deloitte has just conducted a statistics on the club's income last season.

In the Champions League, the team with the most revenue last season was Real Madrid, which won the championship, with 134 million euros, followed by Paris Saint-Germain, which also reached 130 million euros.

These two teams are teams that have reached the Champions League final, and it is natural that they earn the most.

Ranked third is Leeds United, which reached the semi-finals, with a revenue of 120 million euros, which is a bit less than the final team, but the income is also considerable. Shown in excellent condition.

In the Premier League, TV rights and bonuses are also newly released.

Manchester City, which has won the championship, is not the highest income. Liverpool ranks first, with 194 million euros, almost close to 200 million euros, and won the first place in the Premier League.

Leeds United followed closely behind, ranking second in the Premier League with 190 million euros, and Manchester City, which won the championship, ranked third. Only 25 games.

Liverpool and Leeds United have 29 games, while Manchester United has 27 games.

In terms of match day income, Leeds United surpassed Arsenal and Manchester United in one breath with 130 million euros, becoming the team with the highest match day income in the Premier League, second only to Barcelona and Real Madrid in European football.

Since moving into the new stadium, Leeds United's matchday revenue has also been improving.

Relatively speaking, the ticket price of Leeds United is actually not dominant, and it has not even raised the lowest ticket price for nearly two decades. This is well-known among Leeds United fans.

However, with the opening of the new stadium and the continuous improvement of various retail and service facilities, Leeds United's match-day income is also rising and creating new highs.

From 100 million to 120 million, and now to 130 million euros, Leeds United is making progress every year.

According to the data given by the management of Leeds United, strive to reach 140 million euros in the new season, further narrowing the gap with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But this requires Leeds United to maintain a certain level of performance, especially in the Champions League and cup competitions.

The game income of Manchester United and Arsenal has declined very significantly, and it has been declining year by year. Now both Arsenal and Manchester United are around 100 million euros, only slightly higher than Paris.

The main reason is that their results in the European competition are very poor, or even no European competition, which means that they have lost a large amount of income.

Matchday income, Premier League broadcast share, and Champions League bonuses, these three major incomes add up, Leeds United reached 440 million euros, and commercial revenue also reached a record 350 million euros, achieving a substantial increase.

This allowed Leeds United's total revenue to reach 790 million euros, surpassing Manchester United and Bayern, and becoming the second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​​​the two heroes of the Western Super League.

If you look at the income rankings, the gap between Leeds United, Real Madrid and Barcelona is about 100 million euros, which is not small.

However, Deloitte believes that with the current development momentum of Leeds United, in the next three years, Leeds United is expected to surpass Real Madrid and Barcelona and become the football club with the highest income in European football.

The reason why we are so optimistic about Leeds United is mainly because Leeds United has two revenues that are growing very rapidly.

One is global operating income.

Deloitte believes that Leeds United is the first club in European football to adopt the [self-management] model.

The so-called self-management means that Leeds United directly opens offices in countries and regions such as the United States, China, and the Middle East, and directly communicates with local sponsors to discuss cooperation projects.

Other giants, including the current Real Madrid, Manchester United and other giants, cooperate with middlemen. In this way, the club will be more at ease, but it will also result in a large part of the profits being made in the middle.

Deloitte said that more and more clubs have begun to adopt this model of Leeds United, such as Bayern earlier, and later Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester United are also gradually transforming.

Leeds United's several branches have been deeply cultivated in the United States, China, Asia, the Middle East and other regions for many years, and are ushering in a bumper harvest period, with rapid growth in commercial revenue every year.

Another thing that is optimistic about Leeds United is that Leeds United's self-operated projects, such as jersey and souvenir sales, have been growing at a super high speed every year, especially in the last year, they signed cooperation in China and Asia After becoming a partner, the growth rate is even more obvious.

Deloitte believes that the sales of Leeds United's jerseys and souvenirs are unique in the world of football. Judging from the sales trend, the growth momentum is very obvious, and the categories are constantly expanding. In the future, sales will increase year by year.

It is these two large pieces of income that make Deloitte full of confidence in Leeds United's future income, believing that this team has the opportunity to become the club with the highest income in Europe in the next two to three years.

But unlike revenue, Leeds United has always been very conservative in terms of salary expenditure.

In the Premier League, Leeds United's salary expenditure is controlled at around sixth place, not only far behind local tycoons like Manchester City and Manchester United, but even Arsenal is slightly better than Leeds United.

Starting from the new season, Leeds United will further increase the team's salary package. The weekly salary of the highest-paid player in the team will be raised to 200,000 pounds. This will further enhance Leeds United's core competitiveness, but it is expected that the salary ranking will only rank fifth in the Premier League. , far from reaching the level of his income.

Whether it is the results on the pitch or this report from Deloitte, it is telling everyone that Leeds United has long been a powerful force that should not be underestimated in the Premier League and European football. It is no longer the grassroots team when it was first promoted to the Premier League. up.

The current Leeds United, whether in terms of financial resources or staffing, can wrestle with Manchester United.

Even want to suppress the Red Devils.

…

This was the first time that Gao Shen met the long-admired British lord, James Ratcliffe, face to face.

With long hair parted obliquely, on a man in his sixties, he looked very young.

He fiddled with it casually, with a friendly smile on his face.

Seeing Gao Shen from a distance, he immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Gao, it's a pleasure to meet you! Welcome to Old Trafford!"

"Thank you, Sir Ratcliffe." Gao Shen immediately shook hands with him politely.

Ratcliffe didn't look like an old man in his sixties. He didn't show any signs of aging. Even though he had a gray beard, he still looked very energetic and dressed youthfully.

Of course, to put it another way, rich people can stay young forever!

Although they have fought several times in the air, this is the first time the two have met.

In the rest area of ​​the administrative stand of Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium, the two met, shook hands, and exchanged polite greetings, just like long-awaited netizens finally met, and the tone of their conversation was very kind.

James Ratcliffe was a gentleman from beginning to end.

No, this is a qualified British gentleman.

He praised Leeds United, and believed that Gao Shen's management of Leeds United was his goal of learning and direction of his efforts. He hoped that under his transformation, Manchester United could become a team full of passion and vitality like Leeds United. Team.

Of course, he still insists on his principles, and he hopes that Manchester United will be more localized.

"No matter how globalized, Manchester United still has the blood of the Red Devils, and still retains the genes of England!"

High and deep naturally agree with it very much.

Without the local characteristics, globalization becomes a rootless duckweed.

No matter how the Premier League develops and how global it is, it will always be rooted in England.

In front of Ratcliffe, Gao Shen also behaved very modestly. He repeatedly emphasized that Leeds United is still very young and has a long way to go in the future, and there is still a lot to learn from old-timers like Manchester United.

Ratcliffe appreciated Leeds United's youth training. Many Manchester United players were brought in from Leeds United. He hoped to have more opportunities to cooperate in the future. Some misunderstandings in the past let him pass.

Gao Shen also readily agreed.

Everyone is in the Premier League. There is no so-called enemy. We all hope to work together to make the Premier League cake bigger and stronger, so that everyone can share the cake happily, right?

The two elders acted as if they met each other late, and the expressions of the people behind them were all very strange.

Sure enough, it confirmed a sentence: say the most gentlemanly thing, do the cruelest thing.

In this match~www.wuxiaspot.com~ both of them are eager to kill each other!

But now, the atmosphere of their conversation is so good.

In the end, Gao Shen politely declined Ratcliffe's suggestion to invite him to watch the game together, and chose to go to another area arranged by Manchester United for them. The owner of Manchester United also knew it well and did not invite him any more.

If he really wanted to work with Gao Shen, he would probably be depressed too.

However, after Gao Shen's family of three left, Ratcliffe's originally smiling expression suddenly froze, and became a little gloomy, with a hint of ruthlessness.

…

"Mom, didn't my dad say that we are sworn enemies with Manchester United? Why are you still so polite to them?"

When Gao Shen heard his son asking Su Qing in Chinese, he immediately turned his head and grinned at Xiao Gaoming.

"Because we are gentlemen."

Well, that's right, that's it.
