In previous summers, funding issues would have been a real headache for Samuelson, but not this year. Because before he could get www.biquge.info a headache, Chu Zhongtian sent another check for 10 million pounds.

"This is ......" Samuelson looked at Chu Zhongtian opposite, a little surprised.

"The team needs to replenish its strength, and it can't be done without money." Chu Zhongtian said as usual.

"We still have money, the 10 million winter break you gave last year can't be used, and we still have some ...... left," Samuelson explained, feeling that Chu Zhongtian's gift package was too big for him to dare to take.

"It's not enough, if a team has ambitions, you can't do it without money." Chu Zhongtian thought of Hoffenheim, if Hoffenheim did not have Hope at the beginning, this team would definitely not be able to rise quickly. As soon as Hope decided to reduce his investment in Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim's performance immediately declined, which was even more obvious than the reaction in the stock market.

If it weren't for UEFA's new deal that affected Hope's determination, and Hope continued to invest, Hoffenheim might not be able to become a new giant on a par with Bayern Munich, after all, in terms of hardware facilities, Hoffenheim already has conditions comparable to Bayern Munich, and is the top in Germany.

In that case, Chu Zhongtian may not be willing to leave Hoffenheim, which he is already very familiar with, and switch to Real Madrid.

Because of this experience, Chu Zhongtian knows very well what money means to a modern football club.

Some people say that Hope is running the club with the idea of running a company, which is ironic, but Chu Zhongtian doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. It's the 21st century, but the business philosophy of many football clubs is still stuck in the 60s of the last century.

If Wimbledon wants to make a big difference, they can't afford it. With money, there will be everything, and without money there is nothing.

If you have money, why can't you help this team more?

He has invested 600 million yuan in Sichuan Quanxing, and investing 200 million yuan in Wimbledon is nothing to him, and there is no pressure.

Anyway, when there is so much money that it becomes a number to some extent, it is better to use it to do something meaningful than to let it exist meaninglessly as a number.

"But you've already invested 20 million......"

"It's nothing, this money is not a bank loan, nor is it sponsored by a sponsor, it is my dues." Chu Zhongtian told Samuelson, you don't have to worry about asking you to pay back in two years.

"But, you put so much into it...... The club can't let you pay so much money alone......"

"What's wrong with that? I love Wimbledon and I can afford to pay for it. Those who can work harder. Also, Eric, I think we can talk about the new stadium......"

Samuelson was stunned, if Chu Zhongtian came today and injected 10 million pounds into the team it had surprised him, but now Chu Zhongtian's words completely short-circuited his brain.

“…… Well, I also think it's not good if a team is promoted to the Premier League and still needs to play on loan at the home stadium of another team. A team that doesn't have its own home field is like rootless duckweed. For the development of the club, hardware facilities are indispensable. I also know that the club is in financial difficulties, so I thought we could discuss and have my company invest in building a new stadium? Chu Zhongtian told Samuelson about his plan.

But this time he was definitely not willing to fund the stadium out of love for the team.

Entering real estate is what Chu Zhongtian has always wanted to do, and now if he can take the opportunity of building a new stadium to enter the real estate field, it will be a good thing to have the best of both worlds.

If Samuelson agrees to the proposal, he will immediately set up a real estate company, and he will already have the relevant legal formalities ready.

In the name of Wimbledon Club, the land was purchased to build a commercial community in addition to the stadium, with the stadium as the center and spread out to the surrounding areas.

This commercial center is Chu Zhongtian's plan to make money.

“…… You don't need a penny from the club, you just have a name. After completion, the course will belong to you, and I will have the right to operate the commercial community for 50 years, and it will be returned to the club after 50 years. ”

Samuelson doesn't think the plan hurts Wimbledon, it doesn't cost a penny, it just needs to pay the income of the business community for the next 50 years. People spent so much money to build a stadium or something, and it was also appropriate to pay Chu Zhongtian. As I said, after 50 years, this business community is owned by the club, and Wimbledon Athletic is equivalent to having a large number of industries, with these industries, do you still need to worry about Wimbledon Athletic falling into an economic crisis in the future?

Think about how Real Madrid made its fortune? As soon as Florentino came up, he bought the old training base, rented out the commercial corner near the Bernabeu at a high price, raised a large amount of money, and got out of debt in an instant.

Wimbledon could do the same.

Now Wimbledon has a training base centered on the King's Ranch, which is the property of Wimbledon, and if it has a stadium and a business community, Wimbledon has a thicker foundation.

Samuelson said to Chu Zhongtian: "Wimbledon Athletic Club must have no objections......

Chu Zhongtian knew that Samuelson would not be able to refuse his offer, because it was so tempting, solved Wimbledon's biggest problem, and at the same time gave them a well-developed business community fifty years later.

Chu Zhongtian clapped his hands: "Since there is no objection, it will be good." I think in a few days, someone will come and talk to you about this cooperation, Eric. ”

"Hey, isn't that you?" Samuelson asked curiously.

"I'm still a player first......" Chu Zhongtian spread his hand.

Samuelson patted his forehead and reacted.

Sometimes Chu Zhongnaïve will really confuse him - is this person a successful businessman? Or is it a club director who has a lot of money and loves the team? Or a player who has achieved so many successes in his career? Oh yes, Russell was still talking yesterday about having Chu as the team's assistant coach and run the team with him...... He has a lot of labels, and Samuelson feels that in the years to come, he will have to work hard to adapt to so many labels from Chu Zhongtian. Maybe every week, he just saw him in a suit and leather shoes on the board of directors of the club, then he was seen sweating on the training ground, and on the weekend he saw him waving his fist in celebration of the goal...... ※※※ Russell did propose to give Chu Zhongtian an assistant coach position, definitely not because he liked Chu Zhongtian's investment of 10 million pounds, although in the club, Chu Zhongtian, the director, contributed the most, and he fixed a fixed annual membership fee of 1 million pounds to the club, Last year we added another £10 million, and now we have added another £10 million.

But Russell values Chu Zhongtian's professionalism, and he has his own unique side in terms of understanding the players and the team. Mourinho once said that Chu Zhongtian was his good assistant, why couldn't Russell use this Mourinho's good assistant?

He had already discussed this matter with Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian did not object to serving as the team's assistant coach. He was a long-time coach at Hoffenheim, so he was no stranger to doing this kind of thing.

Now Chu Zhongtian is soaking with Russell, studying which players the team should bring in next season.

In fact, even if Russell doesn't give him such a name, he will be very involved in the management of the team very frequently. He's only a year younger than Russell, the oldest of the players, he's got a lot of experience, he's worked with a number of great managers, and he's a very good learner, so he has some ideas in that regard. Russell got him involved in the team's management, and he was more than happy to do so.

Chu Zhongtian and Russell first have to establish the team's style of play. This is one of the biggest realizations of Chu Zhongtian's career, any team must have its own style. If it's always one style a year, this year it's popular to defend and counter-attack, so they learn to defend and counter-attack, and next year Barcelona's possession-based offensive play is popular, and they learn from Barcelona, then in the end it's just going to be nothing. In order to cater to this changing style, teams have to keep buying players and selling them. This would be a huge burden on the team's finances.

A typical example is Real Madrid, after Bosque left, Real Madrid lost their fixed style, at first they relied on the individual performance of the superstars of the first phase of the Galacticos, but it no longer worked, and then after the superstars retired or left one after another, the team's style of play became even more chaotic, Capello's passive conservatism, Schuster's attacking football, and more completely unspeakable styles mixed together, very chaotic.

How can Real Madrid achieve good results like this? They also won the league title for two seasons, which is thankful.

The man who put an end to this mess was Jose Mourinho, and his first step in arriving was to establish the style of the team - on the basis of careful defence, taking full advantage of the team's speed, using simple and fast play to attack the opposition's defence, Real Madrid had the fewest passes before the goal, but the most deadly. In La Liga and Barcelona, a completely different style was formed, which was carried forward and fully matured after Chu Zhongtian came, and finally suppressed Barcelona and achieved Real Madrid's hegemony in the past eight seasons.

Not only in Real Madrid, but every team Chu Zhongtian has played for in his career has a very distinct style of its own. In Metz, it is Jean. The kind of flashy attacking football that Fernandes rushes to the ground is similar to Barcelona. At Hoffenheim, it's attacking football that takes the speed to the extreme, and is very impactful.

Whether it's flashy or simply direct, it's offensive football.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian felt that Wimbledon Athletic should also take the road of offensive football, but the means should be somewhat changed.

"Actually, the 'Crazy Gang' have never been a conservative and negative team, and their willingness to compete with the mighty Liverpool can illustrate that." Russell agrees.

Wimbledon is the successor of the "mad gang", and naturally it will inherit the spirit of the mad gang. The Gang is a spirit, a courageous attitude that never gives up even in the face of the most powerful enemies.

Offense is the best way to embody that attitude.

After it has been established that the attack should be the main thing, what means should be used to attack?

The Championship is very physical, and the intensity of the physical confrontation is even greater than that of the Premier League - in the Premier League, there are technical streams such as Arsenal and Manchester United, and in the Championship it is basically the world of physical flow.

Playing skills will die very miserably here, because no matter how good your skills are, your body is not good, what's the use of being hit by the other party and flying?

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian felt that the technical flow of Barcelona should not be emphasized in the Championship. He felt that he should learn from what Mourinho did at Real Madrid, emphasizing physicality and speed, and the physical confrontation ability of Real Madrid players is very good, and it is precisely because of their excellent physical fitness that they can suppress Barcelona.

On the basis of outstanding physical fitness, we will win with speed, emphasizing a fast and direct style of play.

Chu Zhongtian thinks that this style is very suitable for the spirit of "madness", and the madness is not suitable for being an artist, but it is quite suitable for being this kind of indomitable and unlooking madman.

"Attack! Attack, non-stop attack, fast attack, do everything you can to get the football into the opponent's goal! I think that's pretty good for the frenzied spirit, haha! Chu Zhongtian said with a smile.

Russell thought it was a good idea, but he wasn't thinking about it in the spirit of the Berserk Gang or not, but about a more practical point of view. It's not that there are no fast players in the team, but this speed can only be used by individual players, that is to say, to play fast, it is also a player who is fast, and it is difficult to form a systematic combat effectiveness. The individual is fast, but the overall unfast result is that the offense is easy to be disjointed, so that the player falls into a situation where he fights alone, in this way, in the face of the weak team, it is good to say, you can rely on individual ability to open the situation, and when you meet a slightly stronger, especially strong team as a whole, it will be stupid.

With Chu Zhongtian, the practice of playing a quick attack will work. Chu Zhongtian is the team's organizer, commander, and command tower, and he can mobilize the team to play the required speed. It's not okay to change Jupiter, Jupiter doesn't have such ability, in fact, the whole team can't find a person with such ability. In fact, in terms of controlling the rhythm of the team, and in terms of the ability to control the team at will, there is no one in the world who can be better than Chu Zhongtian, so Jupiter is not as good as Chu Zhongtian is not deliberately belittling this young man.

Once the style of the team was decided, it was rebuilt according to that style. There are bound to be a lot of players leaving the team and a lot of players coming in this summer.

In fact, in the season to be promoted, it is a very risky thing to suddenly bring in so many new players, but Chu Zhongtian and Russell have to choose to take this risk, because Chu Zhongtian and Wimbledon Athletic have only four years of contract, and no one knows if they can renew their contracts after four years.

Russell's plan for the team is to take half a season to run in with each other, and this half season is not too high-end, as long as it can be stable in the middle of the table, and then start working after Christmas. With half a season remaining, it is entirely possible to chase down sixth place, and as long as they can make it to the promotion play-offs, there is hope of promotion.

Chu Zhongtian had no objection to Russell's plan, and he thought so too.

However, to speed up the team's run-in, the hardest thing is not Russell, but Chu Zhongtian, as the team's commander, the "head coach on the field", he must familiarize himself with the characteristics of each new player as soon as possible, so that they can play at the highest level in the game. As the core of a team, it's not okay not to be familiar with your teammates.

In order to get acquainted with the characteristics of these new teammates as soon as possible, Chu Zhongtian must also participate in the whole process of recruitment, he has to watch many game videos of the target players with Russell, collect their information, understand their characteristics, and even come forward to negotiate with their agents.

This summer, he will be extremely busy.

Two days later, Samuelson signed a contract with someone sent by Chu Zhongtian in the club's office, and just before that day, a new real estate company was formed.

Wimbledon Athletic's plans for a new stadium have officially begun.

But this kind of economic level is still a little far from the team, everyone only pays attention to this summer, and who will introduce people to enrich their strength after building a big cheap Wimbledon, after all, players who are worthy of Chu Zhongtian can't just find some cats and dogs.

Even because of Chu Zhongtian's joining, Wimbledon Athletic has a certain attraction for some Premier League players - those who play in the reserve team in the Premier League team, and they can't play in the first team, so they might as well play in the first team. What is the appeal of Wimbledon compared to other Championship teams? Of course, it is because of Chu Zhongtian, as a superstar who has won the World Footballer of the Year three times, Chu Zhongtian has cooperated with many excellent players, and they also hope that they can fight side by side with Chu Zhongtian like those excellent players.

In addition, Wimbledon Athletic are said to be planning to invest a lot of money in the transfer market this summer, and no one would think that the goal of this team to spend so much money is just to avoid relegation, right?

Before, everyone thought that Chu Zhongtian was just coming to this team to retire, but at present, this team's plans are not small.
