Chapter 768 - Must Be Kept!

"I'm rubbing, these guys, one or two are really when we are star processing factories, and they are all addicted to buying!"

At St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, England, after Yang Huan put down the phone, he still looked indignant.XshuOTXt.CoM

It's too much, there is wood?

Lao Tzu finally reached a Champions League final, and one or two of you ran over to poach the corners?

"Young Master Huan, what did Bayern Munich say?" Peter Kenyon asked with concern.

"What else can I say? I have been trained like a grandson, what else do they dare to say? ”

Peter Kenyon and Ron Gurley glanced at each other, their faces were covered with waterfall sweat, our young master Huan is strong! Mighty!

Looking at the entire European football scene, how many can train Bayern Munich's Rummenigge like this?

Of course, it is true that Bayern Munich's management has not done enough to be kind.

A few days ago in Southampton, the two sides had a good talk and agreed not to poach each other, but as a result, as soon as they returned to Germany, they were immediately poured into the soup by the fans and the media.

What's even worse is that they even let the media know!

If Southampton don't handle this matter a little more aggressively, what will Saints fans think?

Do you really think Southampton is the star processing factory for all European teams?

Oh, and if you have the money, you can buy it if you want to?

"Peter, we can't go on like this!" Yang Huan frowned and said with a solemn face.

Peter Kenyon was also thinking about this question, and after listening to it, he couldn't stop nodding, "Yes, it has to be adjusted!" ”

"We've been selling people for the last couple of years, buying low and selling high, which is not a big problem in itself and a sustainable strategy for a team to operate for a long time, but we're in a much different situation now."

Ron Gurley thinks very much the same as Peter Kenyon.

'We used to be a team in the lower leagues, a promoted team in the Premier League, so we can't keep people, and even if we want to stay, it's hard for us to keep the stars who want to prove themselves on the bigger stage.

This is a very important reason why Southampton has been selling people for the past few years.

Like Neymar and Gareth Bale, they are going to top teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, can Southampton stay?

'But now we're not in a good place, we're in the Champions League final with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich on the back, we've defended our Premier League title for two consecutive seasons, and we're confident enough to take on the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.

"Even if we really want to compete with the top giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, we may not lose, so it is important for us to keep players who fit our long-term development strategy!"

"Well said!" After listening to Ron Gurley's words, Yang Huan praised loudly and vigorously.

"In the past few years, we have been selling people, that is because we have self-knowledge, even if we don't sell, we can't keep it, but now it's different, now as long as we want to stay, we will definitely be able to keep it!"

Whether it is in terms of finances or team results, Southampton is now a first-team team.

The only thing that is lacking is the accumulation of years.

But anyone familiar with Southampton knows that the Saints are now financially healthy and stable, especially with the completion of the new stadium, which has made Southampton's strength felt all over the world.

According to preliminary estimates, the Saints Supporters' Club and the new stadium will bring in about £400 million a year for Southampton.

This amount of money alone is enough to push Southampton into the top three of the European giants' income rankings.

Not to mention the sharing of the Premier League broadcast fee, the share of the Champions League, and the sponsorship fees of major sponsors.

All combined, Southampton will not lose to any team, including Real Madrid and Manchester United.

It is also because of this that the Saints have enough confidence to keep their players.

"Ron!" Yang Huan thought about it and made up his mind.

"Young Master Huan!"

'Immediately you go back and prepare for it, we have to start renewing the contracts of players, especially players like Toni Crow, Neuer, Eden Hazard and Suarez, they are all gems in our team and we have to keep them!'

"Understood!" Ron Gurley was also excited.

If this group of players stays, then Southampton's fighting power will not be much weaker.

More importantly, the Saints want to renew their contracts to tell the world that from now on, the Saints will no longer be the team that can be poached by any big club as long as they have money.

From now on, Southampton will use the stars they have cultivated to rush into the ranks of giants.

Or even become the strongest super club in Europe!

However, it is easy to say, but it is cumbersome to do.

For example, Yang Huan said that if he wants to renew his contract, he will have to raise his salary if he renews his contract, and he will break the current salary structure of the team.

This is a crucial step that must be taken with caution, and it is really a critical step to be cautious again and again.

Because the salary structure, once broken, if it is not well controlled, it may bring down the team anytime and anywhere.

Don't look at the saints' finances now, but once the salary gets out of control, it's still over.

But this step is imperative.

The reason is simple, just look at Arsenal.

Over the years, the Gunners have sold captains every year, one by one, and in the end, the whole team has dispersed.

That is, Arsenal and Arsene Wenger ensure that the team occupies the top four of the league every year and reaches the Champions League, otherwise the Gunners will not know where the decline will be.

As for saying that the gunman has no money and so on, it is also drunk.

There is still a large amount of cash lying in Arsenal's account, which is called no money?

At the end of the day, you can get into the Champions League while lying down, so why bring in reinforcements?

No, last season's situation was just a little bit closer, as soon as Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur rose, Arsenal immediately had money, Higuain, Ozil or something, all came.

But what about the results?

Or the top four!

Therefore, Yang Huan also has to think about it, if Southampton continues to sell like this, if others take it away, maybe when, it will be sold as the next Arsenal!

"By the way, Peter, how is Sun Yue's side?" Yang Huan asked with concern.

How to take advantage of this Champions League final to establish the status of Southampton and Atletico Madrid's first-team teams in one fell swoop, this is also what Yang Huan attaches the most importance to now.

Today's professional football doesn't mean that you play well on the football field, take out the opponent and win.

It's so easy!

Liverpool staged the Istanbul miracle back then, and even reached the Champions League final again after 07 years, but now?

The Red Army is still a sling!

Why?

It's because the business operation of Liverpool FC is so clumsy!

On the other hand, Manchester United under Peter Kenyon and Ron Gulley, and later Chelsea, the Champions League final was a very important platform for publicity, which helped these two teams lay a pretty good business foundation.

Needless to say, Manchester United's Red Devils business empire, even Chelsea, after the Champions League final in 08, the team's commercial income has also made considerable progress, but then Abramovich himself died, first firing Peter Kenyon, and later firing Ron Gurley, resulting in a significant reduction in Chelsea's commercial income.

Therefore, this time Yang Huan attaches great importance to this Champions League final, and the weight is even comparable to the World Cup final!

Young Master Huan paid attention to it, and the people below naturally didn't dare to be careless.

"Two days ago, Miracle Media submitted a feasibility plan to us and Atletico Madrid, and we both felt that it was quite good, and we will implement this plan in the future."

"Hmm!" Yang Huan still has a lot of trust in their abilities.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and then I saw the club's executive chairman Nicolas Cortez push the door open and come in, still holding a piece of paper in his hand, and came straight to Master Huan.

"Young Master Huan, this is the guest we plan to invite in the Champions League final, take a look!"

However, the teams participating in the Champions League final often have a tradition, that is, to invite a series of guests to form a large cheering group.

Usually, the invited guests include representatives of sponsors, friends and relatives of the players, but the most striking ones are former stars or former celebrities.

The size of the cheering team is often talked about by many media and fans, and is even linked to the influence and heritage of a club, for example, the scale of the cheering team of Real Madrid was amazing.

Not to mention anything else, Raul, Robert Carlos, Guti, Hierro, Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Beckham and other former superstars became popular as soon as they appeared.

Of course, there will be some teams that are relatively low-key, after all, inviting these celebrities to watch the game and cheering, all the expenses are paid by the club out of their own pockets, and for many small teams, the cost of the cheering group and accommodation is also a considerable expense.

Southampton is now very wealthy, so it's not bad for money.

Yang Huan took over the list in Nikola Cortez's hand, "Nikolai, when the time comes, you should arrange it first, all the members of the 1,000 Saints Fan Club will be there to cheer, and Prince William and Prince Harry will also be there, so you must arrange it." ”

When Nicolas Cortez heard this, he immediately nodded his head to indicate that he remembered.

"In addition, I want to arrange for a group of young players in the team to go away from home, regardless of whether they win or lose, I hope they can go forward and retreat with the club."

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

Yang Huan nodded, and then looked down at the list.

I don't know if I don't know this, but I didn't expect that there were still a lot of people on the list of Southampton's cheering group.

Because by the time of the Champions League final, the Europa League was generally over, so Barcelona's Neymar, Real Madrid's Carvajal, Gareth Bale and Vidal, as well as stars such as Stroman, Schneiderlin, Adam Lallana, Benatia and other stars were there.

In addition to these people, players such as Lambert, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jose Wundt, Kevin Davies and other players who have been inseparable in Southampton's lowest years are also listed.

This made Yang Huan nod uncontrollably and gave Nikola Cortez an appreciative look.

Although the banker is not as good as Peter Kenyon and Ron Gulley in terms of business marketing and club management, he is quite good when it comes to financial and tax control, as well as the day-to-day affairs of the club.

It's just, a little bit low-key!

"Unexpectedly, we have a lot of famous accommodations!" Yang Huan said with a slight smile.

At the end of the list, there are all the famous names before Yang Huan took over Southampton, some of which Yang Huan can't even pronounce by name, and some are more familiar, such as England full-back Bridge.

Yes, it's the tragic character of Terry's friend's wife's door incident, but I didn't expect him to be from Southampton.

and Peter Hilton, the legendary doorman of England and a saint.

The other biggest names are Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer, both of whom are the biggest names in English football.

When he saw this list, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

We have a few famous hotels in Southampton, don't we?
