Chapter 642
Since Moon Sports Service launched the Football Economic Forum and Player Database, its development in the football field has been a thousand miles away. The scale of the two major businesses has become larger and larger. Even if some companies that followed the trend soon want to compete with it, it will ultimately be impossible to stop Moon Sports Service from growing larger and larger.
Now they have completely monopolized the entire market with a share of more than 99%. It is difficult for other competitors to challenge Moon Sports Services' market position. Moreover, the company's business operation and development capabilities are also quite amazing. Not only in Europe, South America, Asia and Africa, they are well-deserved leaders.
In the past few years, the fastest growing Muen Sports Service Company is still the Chinese market. They brought excellent foreign players and foreign coaches to China through their own influence and channels, and actively came to Europe by operating potential Chinese players and entered some excellent youth training clubs in Europe to receive training.
Moon Sports Services is different from some other companies. They basically no longer participate in the broker business. They are more focused on high-end, atmospheric and high-end commercial sponsorship fields, actively operating the players' commercial market. In the words of this company, they should build professional football players into superstars similar to Hollywood, so that they no longer rely solely on the salary paid by players, but fully tap and give full play to the players' market value.
In addition to the football field, Moon Sports Services is also actively developing other markets. For example, they entered the North American market last year and began to buy in the most popular sports fields in the United States such as basketball, rugby and baseball. However, the market competition in these fields is very large, so Moon Sports Services' core market is still football.
The twice-year football economic forum has gradually become the focus of attention of fans around the world, and it is also a rare event for all teams and clubs to gather. Compared with the summer transfer market every year, the transfer market during the winter break has always been relatively deserted, which is a bit like the difference between the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics.
But in the winter at the beginning of 2011, the transfer market became very popular, especially in the last three days, almost one major signing after another, which surprised everyone.
First, Chelsea announced that it would introduce Spanish center Fernando from Liverpool at a sky-high price of 65 million euros. This is Liverpool's number one scorer this season, and his ability has also been tempered and recognized by the Premier League in the past few seasons. It is the best and most suitable center candidate that Chelsea can find at present.
Liverpool is completely different from Liverpool in Ye Qiu's previous life. With the acquisition of the Indian tycoon, Liverpool's finances have improved greatly. This season, he invested huge transfer fees to strengthen the team's signings. Therefore, Chelsea paid a heavy price to dig Torres from Liverpool.
Or it should be said that the introduction of Torres with 65 million euros is indeed a sky-high price, and it is understandable that Liverpool does not object. Moreover, Benitez quickly announced that the team introduced Uruguayan striker Luis>Suarez from Ajax with a transfer fee of 26.5 million euros, replacing Torres with the Uruguayan.
This top scorer in the Eredivisie last season, Ajax's top scorer who scored 35 goals in 33 games, has already been recognized by everyone. The only suspense is whether he will become Van Nie who adapts to the Premier League? Or Kay Mann, who has started to decline from the Premier League?
Interestingly, these two transfers were announced on the last day of the transfer market. Not only that, Chelsea also announced that they had introduced Brazilian central defender David Luis from Benfica at a high price of 30 million euros, which brought Chelsea's winter break transfer investment to an astonishing 95 million euros.
This fully reflects Abramovich's determination to win the top four in the league. It is even revealed that after introducing two powerful stars, Abramovich also wants to get Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yaya>Toure to ensure that the team can successfully enter the top four in the league and participate in the next season's Champions League.
If Chelsea still cannot participate in the Champions League after such a huge signing, Ancelotti has to be dismissed.
Chelsea's huge investment has attracted much attention from the outside world. Liverpool's Benitez took the lead in saying that Liverpool will not be involved in the boring arms race. He said that he is very satisfied with Liverpool's current lineup and will not increase the signing.
But for Liverpool, who is still stable in the third place in the league, they may not sign, but West Ham United, Newcastle and Manchester City, which are closely behind, have been greatly impacted by Chelsea's signings, because these teams have been very tightly divided into each other this season. If they perform well in the second half, anyone will have the chance to enter the top four of the league.
Therefore, after Chelsea announced the introduction of Torres and David Luis, the Premier League arms race also took the lead in igniting the war. West Ham United quickly announced that the team introduced the 29-year-old Mario midfielder Mohammed Diarra from Real Madrid. This time it was a free transfer, and this was also seen as a signal for Ranieri to strengthen the midfield. You should know that West Ham United currently has a powerful offensive squadron of Falcao, Etoo, Gulli and Di Maria, and Carvalho and Lucio were also in charge of the backcourt. In addition, they just introduced England's local left-back Bridge from Manchester City. West Ham United's biggest weakness is still the midfield. This time, the introduction of Mohammed Diarra is a supplement.
But this is just the beginning. Soon, West Ham United announced that it would introduce Montenegro player Stefan Jovitic from Naples with a transfer fee of 40 million euros. This player who can play in the midfield and striker position performed well in the Serie A. Ranieri hopes that his arrival can further strengthen West Ham United's ability to create scoring opportunities in midfield.
Newcastle also announced that the team introduced Argentine player Lavic from Naples and right-back Van der Welter from Ajax for high prices of 30 million euros and 20 million euros respectively. The two transfers cost a total of 50 million euros. At the same time, Newcastle also announced the introduction of French star Ben Alpha from Marseille.
When the major competitors behind them have announced major signings. When strengthening their competitiveness, Manchester City, whose lineup is already huge enough, is not idle either. They have introduced European popular center Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg for a net worth of 32 million euros, which makes the already outstanding frontcourt bloated.
But at the same time, Manchester City also announced once again that it had launched an impact on Tottenham Hotspur's Côte d'Ivoire midfielder Yaya>Toure, and Mancini even said in a high-profile manner that the introduction of Yaya>Toure will become the most important and last piece of the puzzle.
For a time, several rich Premier League teams almost waved their money and made large-scale acquisitions throughout Europe, and they had the idea of introducing all famous stars from the entire European football world to the Premier League. This also attracted much attention from the second half of the Premier League. Seeing whether the large-scale financial recruitment can indeed help Premier League teams improve their own strength.
At the same time, many reporters are also trying to find Ye Qiu, or Tottenham Hotspur CEO, Peter>Kenion, to ask whether the transfer rumors of Yaya>Toure are true. After all, now, including Chelsea, West Ham United, Newcastle and Manchester City, several teams that are eager to strengthen their strength want to get this African footballer.
But Ye Qiu and Theoborde closed the door to them.
…………
…………
The players are obviously used to the hype from the outside media, and they are even used to the players' transfers. After all, Tottenham Hotspur has been selling people at a high profile in the past few seasons. Moreover, as professional players, even themselves, they are mentally prepared.
Tottenham Hotspur 2 team slaughtered Fulham's main and substitute mixed lineup 4:0 away, and the joy of successfully advancing to the next round of the FA Cup did not dilute Ye Qiu's worries, because Yaya>Toure told him that he wanted to leave the team.
It was a very honest conversation with everyone without reservation. Yaya>Toure told Ye Qiu that Manchester City had very generous conditions and could ensure that he received a salary of more than 10 million pounds a year. Ye Qiu was blunt. Tottenham Hotspur could not give such a high salary, because this would break the team's existing salary structure.
Moreover, Yaya Toure also said that he left not just for money, because Mancini personally told him on the phone that he would build a Manchester City with the strength to compete for the league championship around Yaya Toure as the core of the midfield. This is definitely a huge temptation for Yaya Toure.
If he can lead Manchester City to the league championship, he will become a superstar player, rather than being behind Messi, Ribery and even Fabregas like in Tottenham, and being a midfielder who wipes his butt.
Today is the last day of the transfer. Ye Qiu is sitting in the conference room of Theobord at this moment. Peter>Kenian, Peter>DeVisel, Mauro>Tasotti, Ricklink, Roland, as well as some of the club's management and first-team coaching staff members and scouts gathered in the conference room to discuss this issue.
"The quotes offered by the three teams are very good. Now is the last day of the transfer. They are eager to get this player and strengthen their own strength. Therefore, even if the price is higher, as long as it is not outrageous, they will agree!" Peter Kenyon was analyzing the current situation with Ye Qiu and others.
He is the team's CEO, and his focus is whether the player is worth selling. As for the matter in the football field, he will not interfere. Ye Qiu and the coaching team will handle it themselves. In the end, both sides will agree on whether to sell it or not.
Although the outside world has always said that there are three teams including Chelsea, West Ham United, Manchester City and Newcastle who are interested in Yaya>Toure, in fact, Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester City are the only three teams that really make interest and test their offer. West Ham United is more interested in Yaya>Toure.
But it is no wonder that Reponolev has invested a lot of transfer fees and wants to introduce Yaya again>Toure, with his financial resources, he does not have any advantage, and even Chelsea's sincerity is not very great. The only real buyers are Newcastle and Manchester City, which are two super rich people.
There is no doubt that in Peter Kenyon's view, from a business perspective, now is the highest value of Yaya>Toure and Tottenham Hotspur have the most advantage, so it will definitely not suffer any loss when selling.
Mauro>Tasotti saw no one talking, and he sighed, "If we barely keep people, we will probably have to sell them in the summer transfer, because we can't afford such a high salary at all. In addition, forcibly keeping people, whether it is a player or the club, it will have some impact."
Tottenham Hotspur’s finances are indeed very good now, with a large income, second only to Manchester United and Real Madrid. But you should know that these incomes include the huge income in Tottenham’s transfer market, so Tottenham’s current income can only be considered a temporary surname.
Of course, according to Peter Kenion's prediction, by the summer of 2013, after the team won the Stratford Stadium, its revenue will completely catch up with Manchester United and Real Madrid. If it can even have high incomes in the transfer market, it will completely surpass them and become the highest-paid team in the football field, but these are things in the future.
The current situation is that if Tottenham directly raises its salary, the team will have great financial pressure, because once the salary is raised, it is almost impossible to reduce it. Moreover, Tottenham's overall salary level is not low now, higher than Arsenal, and it is only a little worse than Manchester United and several rich teams.
But you should know that the rich teams spend money everywhere to poach people, and there is no healthy finance at all. As for Manchester United, Ferguson's team's salary structure has always been among the top in the Premier League. The team's salary includes Valencia, Nani, Anderson, and even some young players, all have high salaries, which makes Manchester United's overall salary level quite high.
At this point, Ye Qiu didn't think Manchester United had anything worth learning from. Instead, Tottenham Hotspur's current salary structure is relatively reasonable and orderly, but the problem is that in the face of other teams' super high salary poaching, Tottenham Hotspur cannot retain anyone.
"What do you think?" Ye Qiu looked at Peter>DeVisel and asked.
The Dutch was taking off his glasses and wiping them with a glasses cloth. After hearing Ye Qiu's inquiry, he put on his glasses again. "I also agree with what Mauro said just now. Since he wants to leave, it doesn't make much sense to keep him. And sooner or later, he has more advantages now. When the summer comes, he announces that he will not renew his contract with us, or if other problems arise, we will be more troublesome."
And in summer, there are definitely not so many fat sheep coming to your door to be slaughtered!
After hearing this, Ye Qiu felt that almost all his men were inclined to sell, after all, the players were showing up.
"Okay, what should I do if I sell Yaya>Tuele after I take the position of the back midfielder?" Ye Qiu was a little worried, "The time now does not allow us to sign up at all!" Today is the last day of the transfer market. At 23 o'clock tonight, the transfer market in European football announced its closure, and all signings after that will be useless.
In other words, there are only less than ten hours left. It is not Tottenham Hotspur's style or Ye Qiu's style.
"Phil>Jones performed well in the game against Fulham, and Pogba can also try to play the position of the midfielder, but they are still relatively young, and Varane can also play the midfielder!" Mauro>Tasotti made his own suggestions.
In the game against Fulham, Phil>Jones did perform well on the defensive end, and Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder was indeed full of talents. For example, in the game against Fulham, Ye Qiu arranged for the 16-year-old young player Nick Powell to represent Tottenham Hotspur on the bench for the first time, but there was no noticeable performance.
There is no doubt that Phil>Jones and Pogba are both young players, with strength, talent, and potential, but they are still very unstable now and are in the stage of a hot-blooded young man, and they still need more training and maturity.
This made Ye Qiu think of a rumor from his previous life, the passionate young man, welcome to Manchester United!
But the situation is different now. The gathering place for hot-blooded young people is Tottenham Hotspur, not Manchester United.
"We are loaned to Ajax Brazilian midfielder Sandro performed very well. I think we can bring in to replace Yaya>Toure!" Peter> DeVisel is very optimistic about this player, not just him, Bobby> Hams is also very good at Sandro and Lucas>Mora, two Brazilian players who loaned to Ajax.
"But his labor certificate is a problem, and the operation time is too short now!" Roland>Shepas immediately thought of the problem.
If there is no labor certificate issue, Sandro's introduction can be quickly, and there is no need for transfer fees and it will be recalled directly.
Do you want to introduce a back midfielder in just ten hours in a hurry and risk being slaughtered and discomfort?
Or should we give up signings and cultivate and promote young players such as Phil>Jones and Pogba in the second half?
Both choices have their own advantages and disadvantages, which is indeed a dilemma for Ye Qiu.
The bigger problem is that he does not have enough time to think about this matter slowly. What he lacks the most now is time.
"I informed Ron at the Hilton Hotel venue and told him to negotiate with Manchester City and Newcastle. We agreed to let Yaya > Toure transfer, but the transfer fee cannot be lower than Torres. Don't think that if we handle our players, we will compromise. Don't spit a few mouthfuls of blood for me, don't expect to take my players away!"
After listening to it, Peter Kenyon immediately guessed Ye Qiu's idea, offered a price all over the place, and paid back the money.
To be honest, it is completely impossible to compete with a midfielder against the scoring center, but who made Manchester City and Newcastle urgently want to get this player now? And time can't tolerate them hesitation at all. If they say no, it's not that Tottenham Hotspur doesn't agree, but that they refuse to, and there is nothing to say about the players.
"Rene, Ricardo!" Ye Qiu looked at the first-team coach René>Murrenstin and Ricardo>Moniz again. The two coaches are best at crafting players' skills. "From tomorrow, special training for Phil>Jones and Pogba, especially Phil>Jones, his skills and passing need to be further strengthened."
After Phil>Jones came to Tottenham Hotspur, after all, he played in a group of technical players with literary show. He himself became more elegant and his skills improved a lot, but his passing was still unsatisfactory, and he still had the same style of rushing and rushing like a flying general and running all over the field.
Of course, his passion made him perform very eye-catching in defense, but the problem is that the back midfielder who only knows how to defend and press is just an ordinary back midfielder who can grab the ball, protect the ball, and pass the ball. This is the first-class or even top midfielder.
Ye Qiu always believed that it was more dangerous than not robbing the ball!
And with his words, everyone knew what he meant and began to act separately.
Chapter completed!
