Chapter 154: The Merchant's Choice
UEFA has always dragged its feet, and it was only a few days after the end of the group stage that the official website announced the rankings of the technical indicators of the group stage. Bayi Chinese Network ā ā„ā„.ā„8ā 1ā Z=ā.ā„Cā„OāM
Reeves has become the hottest name in European football in the winter.
Because he is at the top of several personal technical statistics.
Four of the technical statistics are on the list:
1. No. 1 in the shooter list!
Reeves, who missed a game, is ranked with 8 goals, and there are three people in second place, Chelsea's Drogba, Valencia's Morientes, and AC Milan's Kaka, each with five goals, Reeves has a clear advantage.
2. Shoot first on target!
Reeves, who had a strong shot on goal stat, had 19 shots on target in 37o minutes ahead of second place Kaka 2. They were followed by Saha (Manchester United 11 times), Brandon (Shakhtar Donetsk 1o times), Inzaghi (AC Milan 1o times), Konstantino (Olympiacos 1o times), Villa (Valencia 1o times), Decca (Bucharest stars 9 times), Postiga (Porto 9 times), Shunsuke Nakamura (Celtic 9 times), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid 9 times).
3. No. 1 on the list of violations!
The technical style determines Reeves's advantage in terms of being violated, Reeves became the number one in the list of violations, and his excellent technique and strong forward ** made the opponent have to take rough fouls to stop his advance, Reeves was violated 3o times in 37o minutes of playing time, causing others to foul almost every ten minutes; In 2-3 places are two Brazilians, Carvalho with 28 and Diego with 25. Ronaldo and prospective Brazilian Deco are also trailing with 19 violations, with the top five all Brazilians all but Reeves.
4. No. 1 on the foul list!
This list is a bit of a surprise, Reeves committed 21 fouls in 37o minutes, almost one foul in less than 2o minutes, which has a lot to do with Reeves's aggressive scramble; Michel Ballack ranked second with 2o fouls in 525 minutes, while PSV Eindhoven's Peruvian Farfan and four others ranked third with 19 fouls each.
And Reeves's next two shortlisted lists are a bit disgraceful,
1. The third in the shooting list!
In the ranking of shots off target, Reeves "relegated" to third with 11 shots off target, which is the price of the most intense shots, but overall, his shot on target percentage is still among the best among all Champions League team strikers. Fortunately, Reeves is comforted by the fact that there are many stars who have been remembered as superb in the past as the number of shots he misses, with Henry, Rooney and others also missing 11 times. At the top of the list are Sanogo, who dominated the Ivorian with 12 attempts to defeat Dalian Shide in the semi-finals of the AFC Club Cup for Al Ain, while Robin van Persie also finished with 13 shots off target, although he had 13 shots off target in just 375 minutes, 82 minutes less than Sanogo.
2. Tenth on the offside list!
On the offside list, Reeves was offside seven times to rank 1O, and Athens AEK striker Tacchet became the most brainless player, with a total of 17 transfers into the opponent's offside trap, four more than second-placed Totti, in addition, the likes of Henry and Crespoderogba have not escaped the top 1O. Of course, the judging criteria of this list are not necessarily related to the level.
In other assists, clearances, passes, passes, crosses, etc., it is normal for Reeves not to be on the list because of his position and style of play.
Outsiders wonder that Reeves did not enter the disciplinary list, in fact, although Reeves has many fouls, but there are few malicious fouls, only received a yellow card, in this list is not qualified to be on the list at all, in the first stage of the group stage** 256 people received yellow cards, the cumulative number of suspensions reached 76, a total of 17 people received 1 red card, the most yellow cards are 3 yellow cards added to Valencia old defender Ayala, he has to receive an average of 12o minutes; In addition to him, 18 people received 3 tickets.
-------------------------
Reeves' first reaction when he saw this data was excitement, although these data will disappear in a few days, and no one will remember who these data lists are, but this satisfies his vanity a little, and being able to occupy the list on a number of data is enough to prove that his strength is worthy of years of hard work.
Kluivert, a teammate and agent, saw the data, and his first reaction was to look for Reeves's shortcomings, pointing to too many fouls, although he didn't eat too many cards, but in case he encountered a strict referee in the future, it was easy to suffer, and Reeves humbly accepted this criticism.
Puel's first reaction when he saw this data was worry, the data of Reeves' offensive part clearly shows that Lille has become very dependent on Reeves, and if it continues like this, it is very likely to become Reeves' one-man team, which is a very dangerous thing, once Reeves's state declines, it is easy to drag down the whole team, Puel is ready to restrain Reeves' offense**.
The person who is happiest to see these figures is Lille chairman Michel Seydoux, as it means that Reeves' value continues to rise.
In Seydoux's view, Reeves is the Fortune Boy.
The difference between this year and last year is that there is one more Reeves, and as a result, this year has achieved something that was not achieved last year, that is, breaking through from the Champions League group stage to advance to the knockout stage, which has brought huge financial revenue.
This season's UEFA Champions League will bring in around ā¬750 million in revenue for UEFA. The 32 teams will be able to share 530 million euros of the competition. That's about 100 million euros more than the total of 433 million euros paid out to participating teams in UEFA's Champions Cup last year. If a team can win the title, it could earn as much as 40 million euros in the Champions Cup.
Of the 530 million euros, 276.6 million euros were paid for appearances and winnings. The ā¬270,370,000 will be distributed according to the share of each team's television broadcast.
Seydoux took his little calculator and began to calculate the income of this season's European competitions: Lille won four and drew two in the group stage, that is, 3oo million euros in prize money, plus 44o euros in the group stage appearance fee and 22o euros in the round of 16, 96o euros have been pocketed. This does not include the market share distribution of TV broadcasts, if the round of 16 draws opponents with full commercial value such as Real Madrid and Manchester United, Lille even if they stop in the round of 16, the final Champions League income may reach 2ooo million euros.
This is still the benefit of the tournament itself, after Reeves passed the Champions League group stage gilding, the outside price rose from 10 million euros to 15 million, Seydoux decided to talk to Puel, let Reeves brush the data, and strive for the round of 16 to make Reeves's worth more than 20 million euros.
In the eyes of businessmen, the record is to make money, so why not make more money with the guaranteed record, not to mention that although Lille is the first in the group, UEFA will definitely give Lille as a gift package to other giants, and Lille's hope of advancing to the quarterfinals is very slim.
Seydoux, who was ready to raise money to build a new stadium, had only one identity at this time, and that was a businessman. (To be continued.) )
