Chapter 615 Let me teach you how to play!

Yang Huan is having a headache now because in front of him (the group of Qataris, one or two looked at him, they all looked the same, and they were very clear at all. Is it okay if I know who is who is?

Fortunately, Hamad was by his side and introduced the past to him one by one.

It turns out that the middle-aged man who looks very similar to Hamad, but is a little fatter and has a belly fat. He is now the Prime Minister of Qatar. It is said that in this country, he is the second most powerful figure.

Accompanying Prime Minister Hamad were several important members of the Qatar government and the royal family, but they were more of a symbolic presence and truly played a role. Instead, a sports minister with a mustache, Ben Nasser Al Ali.

Because Yang Huan did not officially visit Qatar this time, he was just on vacation, so the meeting this time was completely private, and there were not so many annoying processes such as official diplomatic etiquette.

Everyone met in the living room of the Prime Minister's residence, exchanged a few greetings, and then sat down.

Prime Minister Hamad thanked Yang Huan straight to the point, thanking Yang Huan for taking care of his son during his time in the UK.

Yang Huan could feel that his gratitude came from the heart.

Although Hamad's father is a powerful prime minister and a member of the royal family, in fact, as long as there are people, there must be competition, especially in countries like Qatar, where competition is even more intense.

However, only those within their royal family know about these.

In the past, Hamad was a bit careless and did things in a mess. Although he was very obedient, it was useless.

But now it’s different. There are a lot of bad habits. I heard that I had sex with men and women when I was in the UK, but so what?

At least in the eyes of Prime Minister Hamad, Hamad is at least more suitable to survive in this fierce royal competition!

More importantly, with Yang Huan's relationship, Hamad has established quite good connections in the UK and even the whole world, and most of them are not rich, which will be of great help to his future.

And all the changes in the baby son came from Yang Huan.

This is also why he thanked him from the beginning.

After thanking each other, the two sides talked about a lot of trivial matters, such as Qatar welcomed Yang Huan to invest, and Prime Minister Hamad also promised to do his best to help.

In addition, Yang Huan also expressed that he welcomed Qatar to invest in China, and the Yang Group was willing to provide support in all aspects and even cooperate. This was also the decision that his father Yang Wenfeng agreed to leave Longhai City.

The talks took place in a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, and until the end, both sides talked about football.

"Mr. Yang Huan, what do you think of Manchester City after the Abu Dhabi consortium took over?"

Yang Huan looked in the voice and found that the person asking about the Qatar Sports Minister, and nodded politely at the other party.

"Many people doubt Manchester City's investment over the years, but I personally think that at least, Manchester City's investment is successful."

If we only look at the investment and the achievements achieved by the team, it may be very controversial whether it is successful or not.

But if we look at the advertising effect on the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City will definitely be successful!

Everyone present, including Yang Huan, knew very well that the Qataris were more concerned about the advertising effect, which was followed by the team’s performance and whether they were losing money.

To be honest, they are not short of money at all!

"In the past decade, the influence of the Premier League has been spreading at a geometric speed. Now, the world has entered the Internet era. The Premier League is the first league in all leagues to achieve Internet live broadcast and launch Internet copyright."

Everyone present nodded constantly after hearing this.

In recent years, the Internet has become synonymous with high elegance.

But don't think that this is a remote high-tech. On the contrary, the Internet is gradually becoming a popular product that is essential for every household, like TV.

"I have had a very in-depth discussion with our club CEO, Peter Kenyon, and the Premier League CEO, Richard Scudmore. We agreed that the rapid growth of paid TV rights in the Premier League will gradually stabilize in a few years."

From the perspective of the situation, Asia, Africa and South America have great potential, but the development speed is slow, so this will be a long-term task.

"In the future, the copyright of the Premier League will gradually become a three-legged model, namely the local market, overseas market and the Internet market!"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled again, "Everyone has seen how big the local market is. Overseas market has developed quite rapidly in the past few years and is no less than the local market. Moreover, relying on the advantages of English, it will continue to maintain its development momentum in the future."

"Only the Internet market has a very small income in this area now, but in the next few years, I can guarantee that it will develop into a potential market that is not inferior to the local market and overseas market, or even larger than these two major markets!"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled again.

"That is to say, in the foreseeable future, the broadcast rights of the Premier League will continue to rise like a rocket, and their influence will continue to spread, and finally spread all over the world!"

After hearing what Yang Huan said, Prime Minister Hamad and Minister of Sports looked at each other and felt the surprise in each other's eyes.

Long before they decided to acquire Paris Saint-Germain, they had already conducted a very detailed assessment and budget for the Premier League. At that time, they gave up the opportunity to acquire Manchester United and chose Paris Saint-Germain.

But a few years have passed, and the French Ligue 1 is still the fifth largest league in Europe. Although Paris Saint-Germain is already the champion of the French Ligue 1, its reputation in the European arena and its influence around the world have developed very slowly.

In the final analysis, it is not possible in the Ligue 1!

Under such circumstances, they already regretted not having the decision to choose the Premier League.

Now, after hearing Yang Huan's words, they all realized that there is still a lot of potential to enter the Premier League now.

"Mr. Yang Huan, thank you very much for your honest advice!"

Prime Minister Hamad nodded sincerely and thanked him.

"But I still have a doubt. Since the situation in the Premier League is so good, why are there so many teams who want to sell in the reports we have collected? And I heard that the debt of Premier League teams is very serious, why is that?"

After hearing this, the Sports Minister nodded and secretly praised it. The Prime Minister’s question was really at the critical point.

In fact, what they want to understand the most is how to play European professional football!

It’s best to let Young Master Huan teach!

After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled again and nodded: "It's true. There are many teams who want to sell them, and there are many teams who are in serious debt. But I personally think that this is caused by problems with the team's own positioning and does not conflict with the overall development of the Premier League."

"How do you say it?" Prime Minister Hamad immediately became interested.

"Whether it is the Premier League or Europe, there are many ways to play professional football, such as Barcelona and Real Madrid. For them, youth training is just a slogan, and it is only an occasional thing to do. Although Barcelona is shouting the slogans of youth training are loud and loud, looking at the history of this team, it is not difficult to find that Barcelona is an exception at this stage!"

"These teams are not short of money. They pursue results, championships, and honors. So they invest a lot of money in the team every year to operate and transfer. Therefore, these teams are basically impossible to make profits. On the contrary, they are easily heavily in debt, but they are the most influential teams on the planet."

Before Florentino and Laporta took office, Barcelona and Real Madrid were heavily in debt and almost bankrupt.

"There is another type of team that I don't aim for the championship, what I want is stability. For example, Arsenal. This team has completely given up on the pursuit of the championship in recent years. They have only one purpose, maintain the top four in the league and accumulate steadily."

"When they accumulate to a certain level, they start to play their advantages, because their finances are very healthy, and once the accumulation is completed, the potential for bursting is quite large, but no matter what, in terms of competitiveness, it is definitely not as good as Barcelona and Real Madrid."

Bayern Munich also belongs to this type, but on the one hand, the competition in the Bundesliga is not as good as that in the Premier League and La Liga, resulting in Bayern Munich being the only one with no strength.

"There is another typical example of Porto. They do not pursue results. As long as they can guarantee to represent the Portuguese Super League in the Champions League, they will be satisfied. What they want is a long-term business model, no investment, and rely entirely on the club to be self-sufficient, so they have to take the route of human traffickers and cultivating semi-finished products."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan shook his head again, "This kind of team is not without four major leagues, such as Sevilla, Valencia in La Liga, Udinese and Atlanta in Serie A, etc., all of which are the same path, but gradually, the teams in these four major leagues are becoming less and less comfortable than those in Porto and other teams."

Prime Minister Hamad and others were immediately surprised, "Why?"

Since they are all taking the human trafficker route, why are the teams in the four major leagues not as good as those in the Portuguese Super League?

"Champions League!" Yang Huan replied concisely.

"Champions League?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan nodded, "In addition to the Premier League, the mid- and lower-level teams in Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga are generally not ideal in terms of revenue, and are not much different from Porto and other Portuguese Super League teams, and may even be inferior to Porto."

"But more importantly, Porto can play in the Champions League. If you don't say much about it, as long as you can participate in the group stage, it means tens of millions of income. You can break through in the group stage and have more income, which suddenly widens the gap."

"Also, the value of the Champions League is getting higher and higher. Porto is able to participate in the Champions League. Players have increased their chances of showing themselves on a high-level stage and increased their exposure. Their value is definitely higher than those who fail to participate in the Champions League. They can also attract more potential stars who are eager to participate in the Champions League, thereby increasing their success rate!"

When Yang Huan saw Prime Minister Hamad and others nodding constantly, he felt that he should start to summarize.

"In fact, in the European professional football system, the self-positioning of a team is very important. Once you make a mistake in positioning, it may lead to a collapse of the entire team for many years or even bankruptcy."

"And there is no doubt that Manchester City is taking the routes of Barcelona and Real Madrid. They only have one goal, that is, maximize the advertising effect, so they have to burn money and spend superstars, regardless of cost investment, it doesn't matter how much they lose."

"But there are also counterexamples. For example, in the Premier League in the past few years, this team once occupied the middle and upper reaches of the league for a long time and was very competitive. However, later the team's business direction had problems, and its performance plummeted, and now it ranks in the downstream."

Aston Villa has not lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the past few years, but in the goal of reaching the top four in the league, Tottenham Hotspur handled it very well under the operation of Daniel Levi. Although it is not successful, at least Tottenham Hotspur has also ensured the team's fifth and sixth positions in the league.

More importantly, if Tottenham hadn’t had Northumberland plans, they would not have had to be in debt at all!

But what about Aston Villa?

After a round of chicken blood, the ranking plummeted rapidly and ranked downstream, and began to worry about relegation.

Want a revival?

With Aston Villa's current debt of nearly 200 million euros, I don't know how many years it will take to survive!

Unless, their American boss is willing to burn money and stimulate it.

This is also why the entire European professional football world believes that Daniel Levi is the smartest and most outstanding professional manager in the Premier League besides Peter Kenyon.
