"My name is John? Davis, John? That John of Terry, Curtis? That Davis of Davis! ”

The man who said this was a former police officer, a police officer who worked for Berry Police and was once a fan of Berry Football Club in northern Manchester, but in 1998 he switched to the Red Rebels and declared himself a die-hard Red Rebels fan after a big comeback against Ruston Diamonds. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As if fearing that others would doubt his loyalty to the team, not long after the establishment of the Red Rebels Stadium, he jumped ship with his good friend, the fat driver Jim, and joined the Red Rebels, except that Fat Jim went to the fan reception and John came to the Red Rebels Stadium.

A few years have passed, and John, with his youth, insight and ability, has now become the first leader of the Red Rebels Stadium Park Security Department.

Today is a very special day, the Champions League final, the Red Rebels vs. Manchester City, although the match is held far away at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, but like every Red Rebels game, the Red Rebels Stadium Park always gathers countless fans.

I don't know when it began, it became the world's largest gathering place for Red Rebel fans, it became a place for Red Rebel fans to watch and chat about football, and it became a temple in the hearts of Red Rebel fans.

Every time, when John put on that crisp security officer uniform and looked at the crowds of fans outside, he realized that his responsibility was particularly heavy, so he was always conscientious, so under his control and arrangement, the order of the Red Rebels Stadium Park was always in order.

"I'm afraid there are 60,000 people outside tonight, right?" A security captain asked with a smile when he saw John patrolling over.

John nodded, "Maybe it's more than that, but don't be careless, let the guys watch carefully, guard their posts, and notify me as soon as there is any emergency!" ”

"Got it!" The security captain smiled and nodded in agreement.

During the tour, there will always be some enthusiastic fans who pull John to drink him, but without exception John refused, he always abstains from alcohol during work, and he always tries to arrange an all-night for some fans who want to stay in the stadium park until the early hours of the next morning, waiting for the team to return.

More than 60,000 fans came to the scene to watch, chat, drink and have fun, and the liveliness of the Red Rebels Stadium Park can be seen, and the arrival of these fans has brought a huge consumption effect and further stimulated the commercial operation of the stadium.

As a young man, John is well aware that people nowadays pay more and more attention to safety, and they are only willing to let go of their hands and feet to eat, drink and have fun when they go to places they trust, so the board of directors has entrusted him with the responsibility of stadium park security, which is a trust and peace of mind in his ability, and he definitely does not want to mess up this meaningful job.

Coming to the big TV screen in the square outside the Red Rebels Stadium, watching the crazy celebration scene at the Bernabeu Stadium, John couldn't help but laugh, he was a diehard Red Rebels loyalist, the team won the championship, and he was honored.

"They probably will come back tomorrow, and then this place will definitely be lively again!" John thought to himself, and he was also thinking in his heart, how to prepare for tomorrow's security system.

But at this moment, his mobile phone rang.

"John!" A familiar voice came over the phone.

John suddenly became excited at this moment, because the call came from a person he admired very much, Xiao Yu, the chairman of the Red Rebels, strictly speaking, was already the former chairman, but in the minds of all the Red Rebels fans, he would always be the owner of the Red Rebels, and he would always have unchallengeable authority in the team.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao Yu!" John replied with some trembling.

It was very noisy on the other side of the phone, obviously the team and the players were celebrating, but Xiao Yu's voice could still be heard clearly.

"How's it going over there?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.

John flashed a trace of warmth, Xiao Yu never forgot these fans who stayed at home, almost every away game he would personally call over and ask, "Well, everything is normal!" ”

"That's good, you strengthen the security system, and we'll go back tonight!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Tonight?" John wondered a little, it's midnight now, where can he come back?

"Yes, tonight, I'm sure the players can't wait to share the trophy with the fans, and I'm sure the fans can't wait to touch it, so I've talked to Mr Walsh about getting back to Manchester tonight."

John was moved because he knew that at least 40,000 or so fans would stay here tonight to celebrate all night while also waiting for the team's return, and they would be crazy if they were told the news.

"I've already contacted the airline, I've chartered a charter plane, we'll arrive at Manchester Airport around 4am, you should arrange manpower over there, and at the same time inform the fans of the news, and say that the Red Rebels Stadium will be open for free!"

"Okay, I got it!" John was moved and replied with a puff of heart.

Xiao Yu didn't have anything else to do, so he hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, John grabbed the mobile phone in his hand hard, and then immediately ran to the publicity department of the stadium, and he immediately relayed what Xiao Yu had just said in the broadcast system.

As soon as the tens of thousands of Red Rebel fans at the scene heard the news, they immediately applauded, and everyone couldn't help cheering, just as Xiao Yu said, they couldn't wait to see this trophy.

Fans are looking forward to it, John is busy strengthening the security staff, the club's office is also brightly lit, the people from the publicity department are urgently making a video of the team's remembrance, the people from the fan service department are working all night to serve the needs of the fans, and even the Ministry of Commerce, they have to keep in close contact with sponsors and partners.

May 23 was Saturday, a holiday day, but for all those associated with the Red Rebels, it was destined to be a busy sleepless night full of joy.

…………………… As dawn approached, the fog that enveloped Manchester had not yet dissipated, and a Boeing plane with its fuselage painted with the image of Red Rebel players and the club's crest slowly landed at Manchester Airport.

Due to the fog and the club's advance notice, the thousands of fans who stopped outside the airport did not receive the news, but waited until the team bus slowly drove out of the airport, and the fans waiting for the team's arrival received the notice, and then under the arrangement of the airport security, one by one followed out of the airport.

The mist-shrouded ring highway and the cars of the Red Rebel fans with the fog lights turned on looked like a winding dragon from a distance, especially when the team bus opened the windows and released the Red Rebel song played in the bus, the fans also rolled down the windows one by one, followed all the players and coaching staff in the bus, and sang loudly.

The singing alarmed many people, and in the early hours of the morning, countless people were awakened in their dreams, and the fans of Manchester United and Manchester City must have been angry and contemptuous, but the Red Rebels fans jumped out of bed and joined the revelry in the city.

According to the rules, the car circle circled the city of Manchester, past Manchester City's city stadium, and also passed by Manchester United's Old Trafford, and by the time they returned to the Red Rebels stadium, the fog had cleared and the world gradually began to warm up.

When the team bus arrived at the Red Rebels Stadium Park, the fans at the scene immediately moved, but fortunately, not only the Red Rebels Security Department, but also the Manchester Police Department also specially arranged personnel to maintain order at the scene, so there was no big confusion.

The team bus drove directly into the dedicated parking lot and then entered the stadium from the parking lot.

When the players came directly to the middle of the stadium, they found that the huge Red Rebels Stadium was full, and all the fans were standing in their seats, and when they saw captain Curtis and Terry walking out with big ears cups, they let out thunderous cheers one by one.

"Poor Manchester United, it took you more than 100 years to win 3 Champions Leagues, but it only took us 13 years to get 4, we are the undisputed king of Manchester, we are the king of the Premier League, we are the king of Europe, we are the king of the world!"

Red Rebels fans in the stands excitedly sang their makeshift songs, some of which were poking fun at their rivals, such as Manchester United and Manchester City, who have never won the Champions League.

Now the Red Rebels have 4 Champions League trophies in hand, second only to Real Madrid, AC Milan and Liverpool, of which Liverpool has won 5 times, with the current momentum of the Red Rebels, the surname may not be ordinary to surpass Liverpool, and some people even shouted that they want to leave the Champions League trophy in the exhibition hall of the Red Rebels stadium forever.

This expectation of Red Rebels fans is not an extravagant expectation, but a spectacle that is prevalent in European football at the moment, that is, everyone is watching, who can beat the Red Rebels? How long will the Red Rebel Dynasty last? How amazing can it be?

You know, according to media speculation, with UEFA's re-investment in a series of sponsors and live broadcasters of the Champions League, the prize share of this season's Champions League will reach a new high.

As the eventual champions, the Red Rebels can receive a prize of 10.5 million euros in the final alone, plus the team has won all 13 games in the Champions League, which will make the Red Rebels earn 35 million euros from Champions League games this season, plus 30.5 million euros from TV broadcasting, for a total of 65.5 million euros.

This is just the bonus income and live broadcast share that the team receives from UEFA, but this is only a part of it, in addition to the sales revenue of the team's games, the operating income of the stadium, the club's additional commercial development income, and so on.

For a top club like the Red Rebels, the huge prize money from UEFA is only a small part, and the real profit comes from a few other sectors.

Follow Mark? Davy's preliminary estimate is that the Red Rebels won the Champions League this season with a clean record, and this competition alone could bring nearly 200 million euros to the team, not counting the income from other competitions such as the Premier League and the FA Cup, as well as the added value of the team's participation in the Champions League.

The team's management is getting better and better, the club's finances are getting healthier and healthier, and the profitability is getting higher and higher, which makes the Red Rebels fully qualified to keep all the big-name superstars in the team, and even can pay the world's top three salaries for Xiao Xiaoluo, Kaka, and Messi at the same time, and the top ten annual salaries of the world's stars, the Red Rebels occupy 6 seats, which shows its financial strength!

While the financial crisis swept the world, causing a large-scale economic recession, the football industry has seen a hot development trend of rising against the trend, whether it is the Champions League or the Premier League, there has been long-term progress, which makes the football industry in the economic recession, but reflects the potential of high-quality assets.

Everyone knows that in the global recession, investors of all stripes are looking for asset preservation, they all want to get a return on their investment, and they can find a safe haven, and in this situation, the football industry stands out.

"I remember that Chadwick, a professor of sports economics at Coventry University, said that when there is a recession, the football industry always becomes more and more popular, for example, when Liverpool unemployment was high, the attendance of the Liverpool team increased, and after the economy improved, the attendance rate went down."

On the field, the players and the fans in the stands are interacting, and the Red Rebels' championship celebration is also in full swing, but in the players' tunnel, Xiao Yu and Mark? David, Walsh and the others were there discussing plans for next season.

"This is indeed a very interesting phenomenon, but now that the world economy has become integrated, I believe that in the case of the global economic crisis, the football industry's hedging ability will be valued by investors, especially in the case of a contrarian rise, and more and more consortiums will enter this field."

"Sponsors, investors, they will definitely want a piece of the pie, so for our team, winning the Grand Slam is just a clarion call, and the real long march has just begun!"

Sponsors sponsor teams, investors buy teams, from Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams continue to increase the transfer budget, it is not difficult to see that there will be more and more funds invested in the football industry, and after a series of reforms led by Xiao Yu, the football economic bubble in European football is already very small, so this time in the global crisis, the football industry can appear in front of the world as a high-quality asset.

The key question is how to prevent the influx of hot money from blowing up the bubble again.

"I can't control other teams, but we Red Rebels, we must continue to maintain the current development trend, I believe that as long as we continue to go in this direction, we will still stand at the top of world football in 20 years!" Xiao Yu said confidently.

Walsh and Mark? David glanced at each other, "I can see that you plan to go away and never look back!" ”

Xiao Yu smiled, after he resigned as the chairman of the Red Rebels, Walsh inherited his chairmanship, and at the same time awarded him the position of honorary chairman, but with Xiao Yu's influence, let alone a false title, even if he didn't, he could influence every move of the Red Rebels.

But he wasn't going to do that!

"Are you really going to focus on returning to your home country and helping them with football reform?" Mark? David was concerned about Xiao Yu's plan.

Xiao Yu nodded, "I won't go back on what I promised, so this time I want you and Andy to help, I need a few outstanding business management talents, as well as professionals who are familiar with the English league system." ”

In Xiao Yu's impression, the level of professional football in a country does not depend on their system and background, but on their league system and youth training.

To put it mildly, every country on the earth has its own characteristics, and no country's professional league dares to say that there is no match-fixing in its league, which is absolutely fair and fair.

The ancestor has a saying that is very right, when the water is clear, there are no fish!

Florentino has selfish motives in charge of Real Madrid, Laporta also has selfish motives in charge of Barcelona, the Glazer family controls Manchester United, and Silvio Berlusconi controls AC Milan, these are also selfish motives, but have their teams degenerated?

No!

Because when they took over these teams, they all knew one thing very clearly, the professional league has the rules and gameplay of the professional league, and they either don't come, or they can only follow this rule, otherwise it will be over.

So after the phone gate storm, Juventus was relegated, AC Milan and other Serie A teams were punished, but the level of Serie A is still at the forefront of the world, and the Italian national team still wins the world championship, why?

Xiao Yu has been saying that the reform of domestic football will start from two places, one league, in the case of the Football Association has been delegated, the league can be managed and operated autonomously, similar to the FA and the Premier League, so that as long as strict league rules are formulated to limit those unscrupulous conspirators, perseverance, it will not take a few years for the league to get on the right track.

The domestic league has been professionalized, and what Xiao Yu has to do now is to let all league investors see that the benefits of running a team by formal means will far outweigh those sideways techniques, which is tempting; But on the other hand, it is necessary to use iron-blooded means to deter those match-fixing black whistles, make them afraid, let them be afraid!

As long as there is a perfect league system, as long as the club owners operate according to the rules of the league on the surface, the league will not be bad!

Second, youth training, only youth training is the future of a country's football, which is something that all fans know, but many countries just lack perseverance, and what Xiao Yu has to do is to stick to this one.

Xiao Yu has reason to believe that as long as these two points are achieved, no matter what the system is, no matter what the social background is, domestic professional football can embark on a gradual and progressive road.

In addition, reform is always a small amount of accumulation, always starting from a large number of small things, accumulating sand into a tower, and finally evolving into a big innovation.

Throughout history, how many of those who were in a hurry and wanted to carry out the Great Leap Forward-style reform that broke their bones and bones all at once could have a good end? How many of these reforms can be sustained in the long run?

Ancient and modern, it is better than that!
