"Young Master Huan!"

"Hello Young Master Huan!

When Yang Huan knocked on the door, he pushed the door and walked into the conference room, and everyone who was originally in a meeting suddenly stood up.

Yang Huan raised his right hand with a smile, "Everyone sit, don't stand up, don't stand up, I'm just here to observe, you continue to have a meeting, don't pay attention to me!" ”

Although that is the case, how could everyone turn a blind eye to a person as big as Young Master Huan?

It was Sun Yue who presided over this meeting, and this guy was a well-known sycophant, so as soon as he saw Young Master Huan coming in, he immediately temporarily changed the agenda of the meeting and proposed: "Since Young Master Huan is here, then I suggest that Young Master Huan say a few words to us!" ”

After finishing speaking, this guy still applauded vigorously and shamelessly to create momentum.

Everyone else seemed to want to do the same, and they all applauded.

Yang Huan was helpless and motioned for everyone not to applaud, but he couldn't help it, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll say a few words!" ”

Only then did everyone stop the applause with laughter and sit down again.

There were even a few who simply took out their notebooks to prepare for the record, and they looked like they were good students.

Originally, this meeting was proposed by Yang Huan.

His idea is very simple, while the core management of several teams under his command is in China, then everyone will get together and talk about how to develop together in the future, instead of fighting separately.

"I'm sure you've all received the news that Abu Dhabi's Mansour has set up the City Football Group, and Manchester City, as we are familiar with it today, will be a subsidiary of the 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 high, and I believe everyone should be able to understand after watching the hot results of this year's International Champions Cup in Australia!"

Where do the people present still not understand?

Few people could have imagined that the enthusiasm for football in Australia would be so high.

This year, there were two tournaments in Australia, and the stadiums were full and packed, not only by the fans, but also by the sponsors and the city government, which is enough to prove that the Australian football market is quite amazing.

'It's not just the professional teams, it's the Academy, they have set up the Dream Rights Academy in Ghana and are actively working with other teams including Sporting Lisbon and Espanyol.

"We can imagine that Manchester City are expanding their football map in a big way!"

The cooperation between the Premier League and the Portuguese Super League has a long history.

Sporting Lisbon first partnered with Manchester United, which coincided with the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, but around 2010, Sporting Lisbon switched to Manchester City.

The two sides have collaborated on projects ranging from player transfer deals within the team to scouting intelligence sharing and young player training.

In addition to Sporting Lisbon, there are a number of other teams such as Espanyol in La Liga, Aarhus in Denmark, and more.

Not only that, in addition to forming New York City, Manchester City has successfully acquired a stake in the heart of Melbourne in Australia, established the Melbourne City team, and also injected capital into Japan's Yokohama Mariners.

Yang Huan has learned from Mubarak that they are indeed very interested in entering Chinese football, so in the future, they will not rule out the acquisition of a Chinese Super League team and fully enter Chinese football.

It is clear that with the influx of capital, there will also be a subversive change in the way professional football is played.

"Over the past few years, professional football has undergone earth-shaking changes unconsciously, and many people think that only the most commercially developed Premier League is favored by capital, but in fact?"

"In the past few years, from Ligue 1 to Serie A to La Liga, and even the Bundesliga, there has been a sharp increase in the number of foreign acquisitions of teams, and I can guarantee that in the coming years, capital will pour into European football with even more amazing momentum!"

Many people don't know that there is a saying in European football.

The more depressed the economy, the more football will flourish!

This may be strange and illogical at first hearing, but when you think about it, it makes sense.

Just like England, before the influx of foreign capital, the area around London, which had the best economy, had the most professional teams, but the results were the worst, except for Arsenal who could barely compete for the league title?

The Premier League teams in the southern part of England are completely overwhelmed by the northern teams.

But what are the cities in the north?

Manchester United and Liverpool, where Manchester United and Liverpool are located, are already declining cities, and their economies can be compared to London?

Even the most prosperous years of Liverpool were precisely when the city's economy was at its most depressed.

Today, the world is in the midst of a depressed 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, as an industry, is one of the few industries in the depressed economy that is still developing and expanding rapidly, and as long as it is managed properly, the value of the club will also develop rapidly.

This can be seen from the rapid growth of the overall market value of Premier League teams in the past few years.

In the midst of an economic crisis, how could capital let go of such an industry?

"In the past few years, capital has poured 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 like a rocket, which is amazing."

"This is the result of the influx of capital, the transfer market is abundant, but the shortage of talent resources!"

Everyone was analyzing this situation with Sun Yue just now, and they all thought that this was indeed caused by the influx of capital.

Most notably, the competition for the top stars in the transfer market has become even more fierce.

"But I don't think it's a reasonable, long-term, sustainable way of doing business, it's not healthy at all!"

"Because this over-reliance on capital is tantamount to quenching thirst, just like Chelsea, once Abramovich locks on the silver roots, Chelsea's past results and glory will immediately shake, or even collapse."

"Even Real Madrid, like Real Madrid, have to tremble to keep the team's financial income growing, once their financial income encounters problems, their superstar policy will be difficult to maintain, and maybe even the team's operation will be problematic!"

"When it comes to the speed at which you burn 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 excavation and training, the former relies on the scouting system, and the latter relies on the youth coaching team and the appropriate training environment."

"In this case, the advantages of group operation are reflected!"

"There is no football team in the world that can spread its scouting network all over the world, because maintaining such a scouting network is already an astronomical amount of money."

"But what about one team, five? What about ten? ”

"Also, in a stable football club, it's very difficult for an academy player to get into the first team because the first team won't allow the academy to make mistakes, but what young player doesn't make mistakes?"

"However, no matter how talented and outstanding the young players are, they need more training to improve their quality, so the usual approach is very simple, loan, or like Real Madrid, sell, sign a buy-back clause, or the common model that prevailed in Italy but has now decided to cancel."

'But these are problematic because you have to take into account 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 who are lost in this kind of loan.

"However, the operation of the group can ensure the circulation of players within the group, ensure that everything of the players is under control, and maximize the use of resources."

Everyone present was the core senior management of each club, and they had already understood some of Yang Huan's thoughts.

Therefore, when I heard his words at this time, I felt that it made sense, and I was more aware of what I wanted to do and how to do it.

"I think that we now have the qualifications for group operation, and there is only one problem in front of us, that is, how to achieve the optimal allocation of resources within the group, and ensure the operation of the group, which I hope you can take this opportunity to discuss and study."

There is no precedent for a group to command multiple professional teams in the past.

Therefore, Yang Huan can only cross the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time.

The goal ahead is very clear, and it is also visible and tangible, and the key question is how to achieve it.

"I personally have a few immature opinions, so I will put them forward here first, and everyone will discuss them."

When they heard this, they listened attentively.

"First of all, of course, the supporting services, I think that the scouting system, data analysis center, R&D center and medical center of each club have been integrated, and an independent department will be established within the group to provide complete and comprehensive supporting services for each club."

"Second, I think there should be a strategic department, not only at the commercial and capital level, but also at the tactical level, and we must always understand and grasp the latest professional league dynamics, the most advanced tactical concepts, and analyze and apply them."

"Third, I think that a set of efficient, can take care of the interests of all aspects of the personnel flow mechanism, is also very important, because once the implementation of the group operation, the internal flow of personnel will inevitably be greatly improved, at that time, how to ensure the interests of all parties, and to ensure the maximum use of human resources, this is very critical."

"The last is the management system, the benefits of group management are obvious, but there will definitely be disadvantages, and how to set up a set of efficient management mechanism, overall planning, coordination of all parties, optimize the allocation of resources, is also a very important part."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled.

"All of you here are the core executives of various clubs, and they all have many years of management experience in professional clubs and even big teams, and I believe that you will definitely be more familiar and understand these aspects than I do."

"So, as I said earlier, today, I'm sitting here, just to observe, and I hope that all of you here can speak freely, no matter what ideas you have in mind, you can put them forward, and we can discuss and negotiate."

"Because I believe that when we put all our resources together and run efficiently, then we will become the most competitive team in European professional football, and each of our teams will have the opportunity to become Southampton and stand on top of Europe!"

Although judging from the background and scale of the professional leagues, the teams with the best chance of winning the European championship must be the teams of the five major leagues.

But after the operation of the group, it is entirely possible for the teams in the lower leagues to do so.

Why were teams such as Ajax and Porto able to win the Champions League that year?

Isn't it because they have accumulated a group of young, but very good players?

In the past, once these small teams were cultivated, it was easy to be poached, and it was difficult to gather such a group of outstanding stars at the same time like Ajax and Porto.

But after the operation of the group, this possibility exists.

And it's not small!

Let's ask, if all the teams under Yang Huan are now, the young rookies around 20 years old, needless to say all, only need to draw out a part of it to form a team, plus a powerful head coach, who dares to say that this team will not be competitive in the Champions League?
