Super Marshal

Chapter 1072 Blitz

After the completion of the new Chinatown stadium, the naming contract with the Qatar consortium was officially launched. In the next 20 years, the name of the new Chinatown stadium will be called the Qatar Royal Stadium.

According to the terms of the contract signed by the two parties before, after winning the Champions League, Chinatown can receive 15 million euros in naming fees every year. This sponsorship fee is indeed a loss for the current Chinatown. .

At the time Chinatown was planning to build a new stadium and lacked initial funds, the Qatar consortium took the initiative to give it away. By way of stadium naming and jersey sponsorship, it provided Chinatown with a large amount of initial capital, which eased the team’s urgent need. Chinatown has no reputation at all.

But in recent years, Chinatown has developed rapidly. Last season’s two runner-ups and one Champions League champion have made the world re-recognize Chinatown, and Armando Marcos has become more confident in front of sponsors.

For the black and white letters signed that year, Chinatown will certainly not deny it, but in the terms of the contract signed that year, there are also terms to increase the sponsorship fee based on the team’s performance and influence. Therefore, after friendly negotiations between the two parties, Raise the sponsorship fee to 15 million euros per year, and get 20 million euros at the highest.

But the condition is that Chinatown will go to Qatar for training and play a warm-up match during the winter break every year.

Of course, this will not be free. Qatar will contract all the expenses and pay a considerable appearance fee.

The purpose of doing this is to use the reputation of Chinatown to build momentum for the World Cup in Qatar.

It is a pity that the stadium naming rights have been sold, but fortunately, in the two most important sponsorships, Chinatown has not suffered.

The shirt sponsorship is about to expire. Nike and Adidas are both interested in competing for the sponsorship of the Chinatown shirt. Nike has been a partner for many years. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also Nike camps. Adidas has only one Real Madrid in the La Liga semi-finals, but In recent years, the performance of the Galaxy Battleship has not been satisfactory.

Therefore, the two sides began a fierce competition for the sponsorship of the Chinatown jersey.

Chest advertising sponsorship is also a major source of the club’s commercial income. In order to prepare for the construction of a new stadium, it signed a five-year contract with Qatar Airways. From 2011 to 2016, there are only two years left. World brands are beginning to contact Chinatown, hoping to sponsor Chinatown jersey advertisements.

Qatar Airways is also full of interest in continuing to sponsor Chinatown, but the annual sponsorship fee of 12 million euros is no longer able to meet the requirements of Chinatown. The local tyrants in the Middle East are also clear about this, and the two sides are negotiating to renew the contract. .

In addition to the two major sponsors, Chinatown has many other sponsors, either in need of renewal negotiations, or in need of metabolism. General manager Armando Marcos can be said to be very busy, but every time he is busy, he will give The club brings huge commercial income.

Of course, as the owner of the club, Gao Han has never been stingy on the salary of his opponents.

In the transfer market this summer, Verrati and Godin brought 150 million euros in revenue to Chinatown. In addition to the 100 million euros allocated to China’s youth training, Gao Han used all the remaining 50 million euros. Improve the treatment of club players, including hardware facilities such as training bases and office environments, as well as the salaries of players, staff and employees.

The one with the most changes in treatment was undoubtedly Zidane.

As a rookie coach before, he has never had any independent coaching experience. His annual salary is only 3 million euros, but after winning a Champions League, Gao Han directly mentioned 6 million euros to him, which is more than any other team in the club. Players.

Is this salary expensive?

Indeed, in the entire European football scene, the head coach is considered to be quite high, but Zidane declined the 10 million euro annual salary offer from Real Madrid to stay with the team, and Chinatown gave 6 million euros. Not outrageous.

What’s more, Armando Marcos has calculated an account. Zidane coaches Chinatown. After the operation of Real Madrid that year, his portrait rights management can be described as a golden sign in football. Even if it is divided between five and five, every year It can bring a lot of income to Chinatown, coupled with the increase in club influence brought about by the superstar effect.

It can be said that the 6 million euro renewal of Zidane is a very cost-effective annual salary.

Not to mention on the competitive level, Zidane helped many players in the team.

The only disadvantage to Chinatown is that Zidane, like Gao Han, does not like long contracts. He only signs two years.

Gao Han did understand this, because he was like this himself.

For a coach, a long-term contract is not only a restraint, but also a shot of anesthetic. It is often easy to become lazy and lazy. On the contrary, it is not as interesting as a two-year signing.

Of course, if Zidane has performed well in the past two years, he still has to increase his salary.

…………

On the evening of August 22, Qatar Real Stadium in the southern suburbs of Madrid.

This brand new, simple and solemn appearance, with a strong Chinese style, finally ushered in the first game.

The grandstand, which can accommodate 42,000 fans, was full of seats. The sound they made poured down from the oblique grandstand and swept the entire stadium, making every fan in the stadium seem to be in the raging sea. .

In addition to capacity, everything else in the new stadium is built strictly in accordance with the world’s top standards, such as the operation of the venue. A year ago, Gao Han did not hesitate to come forward in person and go to London to poach Arsenal’s venue maintainer Paul Borg. Si, served as the Chief Venue Operations Officer of Chinatown.

Many fans may not have heard of Paul Boggs, but Gao Han is very familiar with him.

This 34-year-old Englishman was born in Manchester. He worked as a venue operation in Blackpool at the age of 16, and arrived at Arsenal at the age of 18. Nominated as the best stadium manager in the Premier League and won this award five times. In 2008, he also won the stadium manager award of the Stadium Management Association. This can be called the Golden Globe Award in the field of stadium maintenance. Top prize.

Gao Han knew him when he was coaching Manchester City. He once wanted to pick him up to Manchester City, but then there was no more information. When the new stadium in Chinatown needed to start preparing the turf, Gao Han was the first to consult him. Finally, he personally went to London to persuade him to join Chinatown.

Paul Boggs has been fully responsible for the construction and maintenance of the new stadium from a year ago. From floor heating to drainage to turf selection and laying, he takes care of everything in every detail, and according to the technical and tactical style of Chinatown, The team tailor-made this brand new stadium with a length of 105 meters and a width of 68 meters.

The game has not yet started. All fans sitting in the stands and looking down will admire the beauty of this venue, like a green carpet, laying in the middle of the stadium.

Three days ago, Chinatown challenged Atletico Madrid away, and the two sides drew a one-to-one tie.

Now, both sides have ushered in a crucial decisive battle!

…………

…………

“Boggs is really amazing!”

In the middle of the chairman stand, the two top Atletico Madrid players, Cerezo and Hill, were sitting with Alpine, accompanied by Cantarello and Armando Marcos.

When the two Atletico Madrid leaders saw this new stadium in Chinatown, they couldn’t help but admire.

As the so-called insiders watch the doorway, the outsiders watch the excitement.

Anyone who is immersed in professional football can see that it is difficult to maintain such a venue.

Some people even joked that this is a high-tech planting grass.

After listening to Cerezo’s admiration, Gao Han laughed very much, “That is, Paul can be called Maradona in the field of field maintenance, what do you think?”

Many people think that site maintenance is a very simple technical job, but in fact it is not.

After the turf is laid, it is susceptible to fungus and pests, and it becomes dilapidated. The work of the field maintainer may seem relaxed and comfortable, but in fact it is often busier, especially during the league. The pressure on the shoulders is not lost at all. To players and coaching staff.

Take Paul Boggs, for example. He complained to Gao Han not long ago. He works 50 to 120 hours a week. After waking up at 7 o’clock in the morning, he has to patrol the stadium and pay attention to the weather forecast at 8 o’clock. One day site maintenance plan.

It’s better if it’s a double match in a week and it’s all away matches, but if it’s a double home game or when the turf is changed, then it will have to work around the clock and work overtime, and sometimes even have to stay up. Throughout the night, take turns to observe the turf situation.

In addition to Paul Boggs, there are many working groups like him in the Qatar Royal Stadium. They are busy day after day, week after week, preparing for the team silently.

In the end, it was possible to deliver 90 minutes of high-quality games to fans on-site and in front of the TV in the home game.

And it’s worth mentioning that every working group in Chinatown has at least two young students from China. They are basically high-achieving students who graduated from related majors. Gao Han supports them to continue their studies in Europe and practice in Chinatown. After completion, he will return to China and work in Chinatown.

The two big guys at Atletico Madrid really admire Gao Han, because Gao Han is not only knowledgeable, but also willing to invest.

Paul Boggs and his team are indeed very professional, but they are not necessarily willing to make Atletico Madrid dig at a high salary. Of course, they may not be able to dig if they are willing.

Everyone can tell that Paul Boggs came to Chinatown because of the high cold.

Many people think that Gao Han has disappeared in the past year and has done nothing, but only those who really know him and Chinatown know that he did not do nothing but did more than before.

It’s just that all of this has been retreated behind the scenes and is not known.

…………

…………

Both sides of the game finally entered the stadium one after another Since they had just experienced a hard fight three days ago, both sides have carried out appropriate rotations this time.

Zidane is playing at home this time, and the offensive combination of Hesse, Morata and Dybala was eliminated in the frontcourt.

Although Simeone played away in an away game and lost the Champions League final before, he still has a lot of psychological advantage against Chinatown. This game also has an aggressive battle, which has been heavily pressured from the beginning of the game, and continues Use high position to press and suppress, hoping to continue to suppress Chinatown as before.

What I didn’t expect was that Chinatown seemed to be prepared long ago. After the first pass forward and infiltration failed, it was passed back to De Gea continuously.

Atletico Madrid striker Torres pushed to the goal and forced De Gea to pass forward with a big foot.

Morata retraced, pressing Ramos’ header to the first place.

Dybala grabbed the second spot, and before the ball landed, he passed behind him diagonally.

I saw that Hesse was like a flash of lightning, from behind Atletico Madrid’s defense line, straight to the penalty area, after catching up with the ball, he shot through Oblak’s goal, the whole process was clean and neat, without the slightest sloppy.

Blitz!

One to zero! …
