Chapter 681: Management Wins
In the eyes of many ordinary football fans, the success of professional teams in European football often comes from winning on the football field, but in reality, this impression is wrong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
According to Gao Han's understanding over the years, if a professional team wants to succeed, off-the-pitch management is the key.
For example, the most successful commercial operation of the Premier League, as the benchmark of club management, Manchester United can withstand the impact of Chelsea's gold dollar, and win the title in the shortest possible time, a very important reason is that their excellent commercial management ability allows them to invest a lot of money in the transfer market.
On the other hand, Arsenal has shrunk and dieted over the years and frequently sold its leading stars, which has something to do with the club's finances.
When fans mention La Liga, their first impression is of the two giants of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and when it comes to why these two teams are so strong, they naturally talk about the advantages of the membership system.
But in reality, it is easy for fans to forget that there are two other clubs in La Liga that are also membership-based, Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna, and if you want to divide it geographically, Athletic Bilbao also has a very high status in the Basque Country, and this team even uses only Basque players.
Therefore, the advantage of Barcelona and Real Madrid is not only the membership system, but also the operation of their clubs.
Even more obvious examples are Serie A and Bundesliga.
After the phonegate incident, Serie A suffered a heavy blow, and Juventus suffered heavy losses and was relegated to Serie B, but just when everyone thought that this team was going to be doomed, they didn't expect the Bianconeri to come back soon.
And in just a few years, Juventus has once again shown its strength to compete for the Apennines.
For the time being, Inter Milan can still hold Juventus at bay, but over time, it may be difficult to say which of these two teams will be the better one.
What is it that makes Juventus recover so quickly after suffering a relegation nightmare?
It all comes down to Juventus' ability to modernize.
Look at the Bundesliga again, once upon a time, how beautiful was the Bundesliga?
In the years of the turn of the century, the Bundesliga team can be said to be a major rival in European football, first Heathfield led Dortmund and Bayern Munich to the top of the Europa League, and then Leverkusen's sad Sanya King, the strength of the Bundesliga team can be seen.
But why is it that the Bundesliga has fallen into the current situation?
The bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group has led to a big impact on the club's revenue, which is one of them, but you must know that all Bundesliga teams were also in crisis at that time, including Bayern Munich, but why was Bayern Munich the first to come out of the predicament, and now it is the situation where Bayern Munich has evolved into a standout in the Bundesliga?
The answer is simple, this team is better than other Bundesliga teams in terms of management.
When it comes to commercial operations and club management, Bayern Munich is no slouch to Manchester United.
Excellent business management, can bring rich financial income to the club, full of efficient management mechanism, can make the team to make the right decision, even if there is a mistake, can be the maximum decisive stop loss.
After Gao Han came to Bayern Munich, he was not only coaching this team, he was also consciously learning the efficient management system of this team, but don't underestimate this, because in European football, I don't know how many teams are not even clear about the division of responsibilities between the head coach and the technical director and the sports director, which leads to contradictions.
He is also keeping an eye on Bayern Munich's business operations and overseas development, because he believes that the future European giants must strive to spread their influence around the world, so as to ensure that they will always stand at the core of world football.
Because Gao Han is not only a head coach, he is also the owner of the China City team.
If you compare Bayern Munich, then the current management system of the China City team is still quite rough.
To take the simplest example, take the head coach.
Mauricio Pochettino, the head coach of China City, is theoretically subordinate to general manager Armando Marcos, but he is directly accountable to Gao Han, which is prone to problems.
Yes, now Gao Han is very relieved of him, and he is also diligent in his work, but what if one day, other teams come to poach him, and he changes jobs?
Isn't it common for a manager to change jobs halfway?
How did the Chinese city team cope at that time?
Looking for another one?
Who can I turn to?
In the intervening moment, where to look?
Therefore, according to the mainstream practice in Europe, there should be a technical director above the manager, similar to the role of Paulo Futrey of Atletico Madrid, who is in charge of the club's athletic affairs.
The advantage of this is that the club can maintain a unified mindset for a long time and will not be affected by the change of manager, because the role of the technical director is to ensure the normal operation of the club at all times, and he must have a complete set of plans.
In other words, Pochettino chose to change jobs, and the technical director appointed by Gao Han was able to find someone from the shortlist to take over the team as soon as possible.
It's true for the manager, it's true for the players, it's true for the staff at every position at the club.
At Bayern Munich, the technical director is Hoeness, so strictly speaking, he is the immediate boss of the high cold.
However, if you want to establish a complete management mechanism, this is not something that can be done overnight, and the technical director is only one part of it, and the next thing to consider is the balance between business operation and competition.
The most typical case of imbalance is Florentino's galactic battleship, which completely buried the competition for the sake of business.
Manchester United is also unbalanced in this regard, becoming a word for Alex Ferguson, who will be able to fill the huge hole once Ferguson retires?
Bayern Munich have a good balance between business and athletics, so Gao Han is also trying to learn from the Bundesliga giants' management system in this area, and usually whenever he receives an invitation, unless he is busy, he will come to the executive board of Sebena to listen to their meetings and discuss and see their decision-making process.
When the time comes, he also wants to implement the reform of the management system on the China City team, only in this way can the China City team be regarded as a real professional team.

ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
At the monthly meeting, the first topic discussed is to summarize the previous month, prepare for this month, and then budget for the next month.
While Gao Han was listening silently, his eyes kept paying attention to the core executives attending the meeting, each of whom was a department head, and they were all professionals, such as Carl Hopfner, who was in charge of finance, was a very powerful financial expert.
Despite the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States and the same problems in Europe, the German economy remains strong, Bayern Munich's development is not slowing down, and combined with the club's crazy winning streak on the pitch, off-field business is also very rewarding, and it is expected to hit a new all-time high.
In terms of spending, management mentioned the issue of player contract extensions, with a focus on Lewandowski.
In the summer of this year, Lewandowski joined the team from the Polish Second Division, and Bayern Munich's salary was a lot if it was in the Polish League, but in the Bundesliga, it was very low.
But now the situation is different, Lewandowski has been in excellent form lately, and in order to prevent the player from getting separated, the club has taken the initiative to put the contract extension on the agenda, hoping to lock the hope star on the ship of Bayern Munich as soon as possible.
At this point, Gao Han also has to admire the vision of Bayern's Munich Big Three and management.
While many of the department heads are professionals, many of the key departments are headed by former professionals, such as the scouting department, which allows Bayern Munich to better assess the value of each player, and Lewandowski is undoubtedly the kind of player who will stand out to anyone who sees him.
Especially after scoring the winner against Karlsruhe, the player gained confidence and performed well every time he appeared, giving high hopes for his future, and there is no doubt about his contract extension.
In addition to the contract extension, Hoeness also proposed to promote Nelinger as the team's technical director, and the team leader was Neilinger's deputy.
It should be said that these two resolutions have something to do with Gao Han, but they will not invite him to attend.
Sure enough, just when Gao Han was wondering, Hoeness proposed a new topic.
"Not long ago, we received invitations from Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the Middle East to go to the Middle East for winter training. ā
When Hoeness said this, he deliberately focused his gaze on Gao Han and smiled slightly.
"We all know that the winter in Germany is very cold and not suitable for the team to train together, so we went to the south of Spain last season for training, but this time Dubai and Abu Dhabi have sponsor invitations, and the local government is also very supportive and welcoming, where the temperature is about 20 degrees, which is very suitable for the winter break. ā
"Of course, the Middle East has developed very rapidly over the years, and Dubai has become a shopping paradise for tourists from all over the world, and the club has always attached great importance to the development of the Middle East.
It's November, and the winter break is in January, so it's just right now, and it's even a little late.
Gao Han knew that they invited themselves to attend the meeting because they wanted to listen to their opinions.
"Have you arranged the itinerary and the warm-up match?"
Hoeness nodded, "The entire Middle East training camp lasts for 19 days, the first week is a training camp, and the second is arranged for two warm-up matches, the training camp is arranged in Dubai, and the two warm-up matches are in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. ā
Obviously, the management has already communicated with each other.
Gao Han really hasn't been to the mysterious Middle East, but since the club thinks it's feasible, there is no need to bother with this matter, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
"Okay, send me a copy of the detailed itinerary when the time comes, and I'll ask the coaching staff to prepare in advance. ā
As soon as Gao Han said his words, everyone in the conference room immediately laughed reassuringly.
With his coaching performance over the past year or so, Gao Han has a high reputation in the Bayern Munich team, and even to put it mildly, he has a veto power when it comes to competitive matters.
Take the Middle East training camp as an example, if Gao Han is unwilling, Bayern Munich will have to cancel the trip.
"Oh, by the way, before the warm-up game in Abu Dhabi, the team may have to be received by the Abu Dhabi Chief, and I heard them that they have a lot of die-hard fans in the royal family who have long wanted to see Gao Han and our team. ā
As soon as Hoeness's words fell, the audience burst into laughter.
Gao Han's influence is undoubted, and fans all over the world praise it, but I didn't expect that even the royal family members in the Middle East have his fans, which is new.
Some people at the scene even joked that asking Gao Han to help see if there are any members of the royal family who are suitable for playing football, and bring a few to Bayern Munich will be of great benefit to the team to develop the Middle East market.
This proposal was immediately heckled by everyone present.
Gao Han was sweating when he heard this, is this still a meeting?
Are you sure it's not nonsense?
