Chapter 826: Group operation
"Master Huan!"
"Hello Master Huan!
When Yang Huan knocked on the door, he pushed the door and walked into the meeting room. Everyone who was in the meeting inside suddenly stood up.
Yang Huan smiled and raised his right hand, "Everyone sits, don't need to stand up, don't have to stand up, I'm just here to listen, you continue to have the meeting, ignore me!"
Even though he said that, how could everyone turn a blind eye to someone as big as Master Huan?
It was Sun Yue who presided over this meeting, and this guy is a well-known flatterer, so when he saw Master Huan come in, he immediately changed the agenda of the meeting and suggested: "Since Master Huan is here, then I suggest, Let Master Huan say a few words to us!"
After speaking, the servant clapped vigorously in a shameless manner to create momentum.
The others seemed to be eager to do this, and everyone applauded.
Yang Huan helplessly signaled that everyone no longer had to applaud, but he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, let me say a few words!"
At this time, everyone laughed and stopped the applause, and sat down again.
There are even a few who simply took out their notebooks to prepare for recording, and they looked like they were three good students.
This meeting was originally proposed by Yang Huan.
His idea is very simple. Taking advantage of the fact that the core management of several teams under his command are all in China, then everyone will get together and talk about how to develop together in the future instead of fighting separately.
"I believe everyone has received the news before. Mansour in Abu Dhabi has established the City Football Group. Now the Manchester City we are familiar with will be a subsidiary of this City Football Group."
"But at the same time, they are also actively establishing and acquiring professional teams in New York and Melbourne. Because in the past few years, the football enthusiasm in the United States and Australia has been soaring. I believe everyone has watched the hot matches in this year's International Champions Cup in Australia. After that, you should be able to understand!"
Why didn't everyone here understand?
Few really could have imagined that Australia’s football enthusiasm would be so high.
A total of two matches were played in Australia this year. The stadiums were full and the seats were full. Not only the fans but also the sponsors and the city government were also very strong. These are enough proof that the Australian football market is quite amazing.
"Not only the professional team, but also the youth academy. They set up the Dream Power youth academy in Ghana and are actively cooperating with other teams including Sporting Lisbon and Espanyol."
"We can completely imagine that Manchester City are expanding their football territory wildly!"
The cooperation between the Premier League and the Portuguese Premier League has a long history.
Sporting Lisbon first cooperated with Manchester United, and it happened to be the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo that contributed to this cooperation. However, around 2010, Sporting Lisbon turned to cooperate with Manchester City.
The cooperation projects between the two sides range from the transfer of players in the team to the sharing of scout intelligence and training of young players.
In addition to Sporting Lisbon, there are other teams such as La Liga's Espanyol and Denmark's Aarhus.
Not only that, in addition to the formation of New York City, Manchester City has successfully acquired shares in the heart of Melbourne, Australia, established the Melbourne City team, and also injected capital in Japan's Yokohama Mariners.
Yang Huan has learned with Mubarak that they are indeed very interested in entering Chinese football, so in the future it will not rule out the acquisition of a Chinese Super League team to fully enter the Chinese football world.
Obviously, with the influx of capital, the gameplay of professional football will also undergo subversive changes.
"In the past few years, professional football has undergone earth-shaking changes without knowing it. Many people think that only the Premier League, which is the most commercially developed, is favored by capital. But in fact?"
"In the past few years, from Ligue 1 to Serie A to La Liga, and even Bundesliga, there have been many cases of foreign acquisitions of teams, and the number has risen sharply. What I can guarantee is that in the next few years, capital will be more amazing. Enter European football!"
Many people don't know that there is a saying in European football.
The more depressed the economy, the more prosperous football!
This may be very strange when you hear it in the first day of the junior high school. It is completely illogical, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Just like the United Kingdom, before the influx of foreign capital, the economically best surrounding areas of London had the most professional teams, but the results were the worst. In addition to Arsenal, who could barely compete for the league championship, who else?
The Premier League teams in the entire southern region of England were completely overwhelmed by the northern team.
But what cities are in the north?
Manchester and Liverpool, where Manchester United and Liverpool are located, are already declining cities. Can the economy be comparable to London?
Even the most prosperous years in Liverpool were precisely when the city's economy was at its worst.
Nowadays, the whole world is in deep economic crisis, but professional football is becoming more and more popular. Why?
On the one hand, because of the scarcity of football clubs, they can maintain their value to the greatest extent.
On the other hand, professional football is an industry. In a depressed economy, it is one of the few industries that is still developing and expanding at a high speed. As long as it is managed properly, the value of the club will also develop rapidly.
This is evident from the dramatic increase in the overall market value of Premier League teams in the past few years.
Let me ask, how can capital let go of such an industry during the economic crisis?
"In the past few years, capital has been pouring into European football, and the transfer fees of players have also risen. Especially in recent years, the transfer fees of players have risen very rapidly, just like the Rockets. "
"This is the result of ample funds in the transfer market after the influx of capital, but the shortage of human resources!"
Everyone had just analyzed this situation with Sun Yue, and they all believed that it was indeed caused by the influx of capital.
The most obvious is that the competition for top stars in the transfer market has become more fierce.
"But I don't think this is a reasonable, long-term, and sustainable way of operating. It is not healthy at all!"
"Because this over-reliance on capital is tantamount to drinking a dove to quench thirst, just like Chelsea. Once Abramovich locks up the money, Chelsea's past achievements and brilliance will immediately shake or even collapse."
"Even if it is like Real Madrid, they have to keep the team's fiscal revenue growth cautiously. Once their fiscal revenue encounters problems, their superstar policy will be difficult to maintain, and there may even be problems with the team's operation! "
"When it comes to burning money, running a professional team is no slower than any other industry!"
"Therefore, in the past few years, the importance of youth training has become particularly important, and youth training is divided into two parts, player exploration and training, the former relies on the scouting system, the latter relies on the youth coaching team and a suitable training environment ."
"In this case, the advantages of group operation are reflected!"
"There is no football team in the world that can spread its own scouting network all over the world, because maintaining the operation of such a scouting network is already an astronomical figure."
"But one team is not good, how about five? How about ten?"
"Also, in a stable football club, it is very difficult for youth training players to enter the first team, because the first team will not allow youth training players to make mistakes, but which young player does not make mistakes?"
"However, no matter how talented and outstanding young players are, they need more competition and exercise to improve their strength, so the usual approach is very simple, rent, or like Real Madrid, sell, sign and buy back. The clause, or the common model that is prevailing in Italy, but has now been decided to cancel."
"But these are all problems, because we have to consider the tactical characteristics of the team, the adaptability of the players, the quality of training and the chances of playing, and these are not guaranteed, so every year there are many, many talented players. This kind of lease is gone."
"But the group operation can ensure the circulation of players within the group, ensure that everything about the players is under control, and maximize the use of resources."
All the people present are the core seniors of the clubs, and they have already understood some of Yang Huan's ideas.
Therefore, at this time, after hearing what he said, I felt very reasonable, and I also knew more about what I wanted and how to do it.
"I think we now have the qualifications to operate as a group, and the only question before us is how to optimize the allocation of resources within the group and ensure the operation of the group. This is what I hope everyone can Take this opportunity to discuss and research."
There is no precedent in the past for a group to command multiple professional teams.
Therefore, Yang Huan can only cross the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time.
The previous goal is very clear, and it is also visible and tangible. The key question is how to achieve it.
"I personally have a few immature opinions. Let me put them forward first, and everyone will discuss them."
After listening, everyone listened attentively.
"First, of course, it is the supporting services. I think that the scouting system, data analysis center, R&D center, and medical center of the various clubs have been integrated. The departments established within the group provide complete and comprehensive supporting facilities for the clubs. service."
"Second, I think that a strategic department should be established, not only at the commercial and capital level, but also at the tactical level. We must always understand and grasp the latest professional league dynamics and the most advanced tactical concepts, and analyze and apply them. ."
"Third, I think that an efficient personnel transfer mechanism that can take care of the interests of all parties is also very important, because once the group operation is implemented, the internal personnel flow will inevitably increase. By that time, How to ensure the interests of all parties and ensure the maximum use of human resources is very critical."
"The last is the management system. The benefits of group management are obvious, but there are certainly disadvantages. How to set up an efficient management mechanism, plan overall, coordinate all parties, and optimize resource allocation is also very important. ring."
At this point, Yang Huan smiled.
"All of you present are the core executives of various clubs. They have many years of management experience in running professional clubs and even rich teams. I believe that you will definitely be more familiar and understand in these aspects than I am."
"So, as I said earlier, today, I am sitting here just as an observer. I hope everyone present can speak freely. No matter what ideas you have in your heart, you can bring them up and discuss and negotiate."
"Because I believe that when we integrate all resources and operate efficiently, then we will become the most competitive team in European professional football. Each of our teams has the opportunity to become Southampton. Top of Europe!"
Although from the background and scale of the professional leagues ~lightnovelpub.net~, the teams that have the most chance to win the European championship must be the teams in the five major leagues.
But after the group operation, teams in the lower leagues also have this possibility.
Why did Ajax, Porto and other teams win the Champions League back then?
Isn't it because they have accumulated a group of young but outstanding players?
In the past, once these small teams were trained, it was easy to be poached. It was difficult to gather such outstanding stars like Ajax and Porto at the same time.
But after the group operation, this possibility exists.
And it's not small!
I would like to ask, if all the teams under Yang Huan’s team, young rookies around the age of 20, needless to say, only a part of them need to be drawn out to form a team, plus a strong head coach, who will Dare to say, this team will not be competitive in the Champions League?
