Chapter 1134: Koreanophobia
"Billion euros!"
In the office of the Chinatown Training Center in Beijing, after Xiang Tianming received the news, he was so surprised that he jumped up from his seat.
Obediently, I knew that European football was rich, but I didn't know that it was so rich.
There is no doubt that these are all scavenged from all over the world, and it is the operating income of the five major European leagues in the past few years, as well as the crazy investment of the local tycoons in the Middle East, which is too scary to believe.
Lin Guoping's composure is obviously much higher than Xiang Tianming's, but he still can't help but be moved.
Because it's crazy.
"In the past few years, the world's major economies have frantically started the money printing machine, and the world's hot money and insurance funds have poured into European football, and professional football has suddenly become fragrant, which has caused the current boom in the European football transfer market. β
When he said this, Lin Guoping also sighed for a long time, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the broadcasting rights of the four major leagues have been rising steadily in recent years, and how much income does he get from all over the world every year? This can definitely be regarded as a good deal with a lot of profits.
The big four leagues appear to be European, but they are actually global.
"I said, Boss, with this billion euros, you have to think about how you want to spend it. Xiang Tianming looked like a very buddy, squeezed his eyebrows at Gao Han, and almost knelt on the ground and hugged his thighs.
"Please, it's just transfer income, the longest installment is three years, and it's not cash. Gao Han smiled bitterly.
"It's a lot, okay?" Xiang Tianming almost cried.
A billion euros, he will never make so much money in his life.
Originally, he also owned some shares in Beijing's China Town, but in recent years, as Gao Han has built youth training centers across the country, the little pitiful shares in his hands have been diluted again and again, resulting in him now being more like a wage earner.
Of course, this is purely his pretending to complain, and in his heart he still likes his current job very much.
Tianming is right, you still have to think about how to spend it, the EU's quantitative easing will definitely continue for a few years, with the current rate of money printing, this money will be very hot in your hands. Lin Guoping also persuaded.
Gao Han also understands that it is best to take it out for investment, but he does not know how to do business, and there are no good investment projects.
Some of the debts incurred in the construction of the new stadium and the surrounding commercial facilities have been repaid, and the rest are long-term loans with very low interest rates, which, in Armando Marcos's words, are equivalent to the bank lending money to Chinatown for nothing, and the fool will repay the loan early.
Gao Han also knows a little about finances, and only knows that debts are sometimes good, but he is very sure that Chinatown's current financial situation is very healthy, and even in the world, I am afraid that there is no healthier club than Chinatown.
And with the new stadium and surrounding commercial facilities put into use, the club can get a lot of money every year, plus this billion euros in the transfer market, Chinatown should really think about how to spend it.
If not, the money will be smashed in the hand, and a strong depreciation will also be a loss.
As for investing in the transfer market, Gao Han felt that there was no need.
With the summer training camp, Valverde's adjustment to the team made Gao Han very satisfied, and even a little surprised, especially the rise of a group of young players led by Jesus and Martial, plus Isco, Koke, Ilya Ramendi, Varane and De Gea, I believe that the competitiveness of Chinatown this season is still not bad.
In this case, where is it necessary to smash the star who is more than 100 million at every turn?
Buying a team in the Chinese Super League?
As soon as this tempting thought came to Gao Han's mind, it immediately took over his mind with an unstoppable attitude.
There is still a lot of potential for the appreciation of the Chinese Super League team, not to mention that Chinatown does need to have a professional team in China.
But just as Gao Han was out of control to find the right team, the likes of Shomu, Sergio Garcia and Buenaventura all arrived at the training center.
It's already mid-August, and the national team is about to start training again to prepare for the two key games in early September.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Before I left Europe, I went to the Netherlands for a while, and Zhang Yuning did very well at Ajax. β
Sergio Garcia is in charge of spying on military intelligence and collecting intelligence, so he naturally knows that Gao Han attaches great importance to Zhang Yuning.
"There are also reports in the domestic media, and it has just staged a brace. Gao Han smiled.
'yes, I watched the game live, from the end of June to Ajax, it has been less than two months now, the improvement is obvious, four games, two starts, two substitutes, three goals, quite good. Sergio Garcia praised.
Zhang Yuning listened to Gao Han's advice, and after joining Ajax, he followed the team to start summer training and preparation, and performed very hard, and Ajax also attached great importance to him and arranged for him to receive individual special training, which is a special treatment that can only be enjoyed by the team's hopeful stars, and Zhang Yuning did not live up to the club's high expectations.
In the first round of Champions League qualifying away at the end of July, he came on as a substitute for 30 minutes against the Greek side and performed well, making a few runs and two chances to shoot from the ground, but neither could score, and Ajax won 2-1 away.
Perhaps considering the possibility of promotion, and because the second leg was only three days apart from the first round of the Eredivisie, after returning to home, Ajax rotated, and Zhang Yuning scored a goal for the team to help Ajax draw 1-1, and then successfully advanced with an aggregate score of 3-2.
Because of that goal, Zhang Yuning got the opportunity to come on as a substitute in the first round of the Eredivisie, but only 14 minutes and no performance, while Ajax beat Sparta Rotterdam 3-1.
A week later, because the Champions League qualifying match was to be played in midweek, Zhang Yuning was arranged to start in the second round of the Eredivisie, and as a result, the Chinese teenager scored a brace to help the team draw 2-2 with Roda and performed quite well.
Others just saw Zhang Yuning's potential and performance, but Gao Han knew in his heart that all this was because he used a skill card for him at the beginning, which led to his progress being very obvious, and with the current trend, it is not completely impossible to gain a foothold in the four major European leagues in the future.
"Judging from the current situation, Ajax wants to fight on three fronts, Zhang Yuning's opportunities will definitely not be less, I specially had a meal with Van der Sar, he said that Zhang Yuning's current ranking exceeds Ajax's own academy Dolberg, who is still too young, and the original plan to loan teenager Traore from Chelsea has also been shelved. β
"Good. Gao Han nodded vigorously.
Judging from the current start of the season, Zhang Yuning must have established himself, as long as he plays steadily, it will certainly not be a problem to get more game opportunities, and it will make Ajax pay more and more attention to him.
Of course, if he wants to go further, he has to perform better, at least to beat the teammates of the same age in the team, and perform at the best level in the competition.
Although the Eredivisie is not the top, but the competition of every team is extremely fierce, no one can help him, he can only rely on his own efforts, the only thing Gao Han can do is to try to keep him improving.
The national team really needs a strong center forward!
"According to the schedule of the top 12 matches, the Football Association has also made appropriate fine-tuning of the Chinese Super League, except for the international players participating in the AFC Champions League, everyone else will arrive on the 21st, and the training location will be arranged in Shenyang, where we will train until the 29th, and then fly directly from Shenyang to South Korea, after playing the first game, return to Shenyang on the second day to prepare for the game against Iran. β
In order to shorten the team's back and forth as much as possible, the home game against Iran was scheduled in Shenyang, which was the blessed place where China entered the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and everyone hoped to attack the World Cup again from here.
Combined with the map of China on the table, everyone on the coaching staff clearly saw where Shenyang and Seoul, South Korea, were located.
There is really no way to do this, but to say that China is too big.
"Lorenzo, from the 21st to the 29th, our time is very valuable, I need you to come up with a physical training plan as soon as possible to ensure the fitness of the players for the next two games, especially considering the back and forth of several foreign players. β
Gao Han will recruit Zhang Yuning, Wang Lei and Zhao Jun this time, three foreign international players, Gao Ren, Yang Xin and Wei Shihao and other foreign players are temporarily unable to reach the strength of the national team, and the recruitment is only to occupy a place, which is not beneficial.
But Gao Han will call them and explain the situation to them, and the national team will continue to pay close attention to their movements.
Buenaventura is the team's physical fitness coach, and after listening to Gao Han's words, he pondered for a while, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me." β
"Sergio, keep a close eye on the movements of the two opponents, South Korea and Iran, and give me a detailed analysis report before the training camp, so that I can know their every move. β
Sergio GarcΓa immediately made a gesture of reassurance, an aspect that he is good at.
"Xiao Mu. β
"I'm here. β
"Tomorrow, you will lead the team to Shenyang to inspect and arrange the scene, and as soon as the international players arrive, they will immediately start training. β
Xiao Mu immediately nodded in agreement, which was also his duty.
"This time our two opponents are the top teams in Asia, to be honest, against such opponents, we are completely down, in the past 20 years, the Chinese team has played many games against South Korea and Iran, but only won one official match, all the others lost, especially South Korea, Koreanophobia is the curse on our heads. β
When he said the word Koreanophobia, Gao Han's face became obviously ugly, because he knew the effect of this spell.
If China's overall strength is on par with South Korea, then it is easy to say, but the fatal thing is that China's strength is now a lot behind South Korea, and this Koreanophobia can be said to be fatal.
As for Iran, even the last time they entered the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the Chinese team led by Milu in 2001 lost 0-4 to Iran in the Civilization Cup, and the last time they won was in the 2004 Asian Cup, when China defeated Iran on penalties.
But in the past ten years, China has encountered Iran five times, one Asian Cup is a 2-2 draw, the other four warm-up games are one win and three losses, and the overall results are also inferior, not to mention that Iran's performance in this World Cup qualifiers is quite good, and the overall strength is better than China.
"Against these two major opponents, we can only rely on defending, and if we can keep it, we can survive, and if we can't keep it, we will be dead. Gao Han said very solemnly.
Everyone knows that he is the best at attacking and taking offense as his life, but at this moment he has to compromise and defend.
There is no other reason, compared to the Chinese team, the opponent is too strong.
