In the second International Championship Cup in 2013, the group stage is still held in the form of different parts.

The two semi-finals were arranged to be played in the central region of the United States.

The finals of the championship were still arranged to be held at the Yongming Stadium in Miami.

Sixteen top-notch competitions between European giant teams once again sparked the football enthusiasm of North American fans in just over a dozen days. They told the world in a way that North America is no longer a football desert.

On the contrary, there are the most enthusiastic fans in the world with the most consumer-capable resources, and this place will become the Nuggets for the world's giant teams!

Defending champion Southampton has always been a favorite team to win the championship since the International Champions League.

This dark horse team that defeated Manchester United as a newly promoted player last season and miraculously won the Premier League championship is quite important in the minds of North American fans.

In addition, since the start of this summer's transfer period, Southampton has been the hottest team in the transfer market.

First he bought Suarez for 40 million pounds, and then he fell into Neymar's transfer soap opera.

Before the International Champions League kicked off, Southampson first sent Neymar to Barcelona at a record price and introduced Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona.

Then, Gareth Bale and Vidal packed to Real Madrid at an amazing sky-high price.

The two transfers were more and more amazing, and the transfer fees were rising steadily, which shocked fans all over the world. Southampton even stood at the forefront of the transfer market with the help of these two transfers.

There are many teams that sell players at high prices during the summer transfer period.

But how many of them are sold like Southampton, and each one is sold at a sky-high price?

As Southampton, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester City and other star teams in the transfer market all entered North America and participated in the International Champions League, the eyes of fans around the world naturally focused on North America.

The opening match ended with defending champion Southampton defeating Barcelona 2-0.

Louis Enrique's team was criticized and criticized by fans after the game, but there was no improvement.

The remaining two rounds were one draw and one loss, losing to Juventus and drew with the Red Devils and Manchester United.

After defeating Barcelona, ​​Southampton took advantage of the victory to pursue Juventus and Manchester United, winning three consecutive wins in the group stage, qualifying as the top spot in the group and advancing to the semi-finals.

But the outside world is not satisfied with the performance of the saints.

Southampton's offense was a problem in these three group matches.

With powerful stars and talented rookies such as Ibrahimovic, Drogba, Suarez, Hazard, Sturric, Sanchez, Ravel Morrison and James Rodriguez, the Saints only scored four goals in three group matches.

Bielsa has debugged three different starting lineups and multiple different attack combinations in three games, but the effect is not satisfactory.

Everyone believes that the Saints' attack power is greatly affected by the loss of Neymar and Gareth Bale.

Although Suarez and Sanchez were also introduced, it is still unknown when the effect will be achieved!

Sure enough, after crossing the group stage, Southampton encountered Bayern Munich in the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich, who had just completed the change of coach, was still adapting to the tactical system of the new coach Guardiola. As a result, both sides played very poorly and finally reached zero to zero. Finally, relying on goalkeeper Neuer's outstanding performance in the penalty shootout, Southampton eliminated Bayern Munich and successfully advanced to the final.

But in the final, Southampton finally lost to Real Madrid by a one-to-two, missing the opportunity to defend the International Champions League. Gareth Bale and Vidal, who just joined Real Madrid, both started the game respectively.

Among them, Gareth Bale also scored his first goal after joining Real Madrid and won a championship trophy.

Although Southampton failed to win the International Champions League, it made a big splash outside the court.

After signing several major contracts in North America last year, Southampton has been preparing for a year and signed four sponsorship contracts with a total value of more than 100 million pounds during the International Champions League, which will bring Southampton at least 25 million pounds of commercial income each year.

This immediately made the whole world amazed again.

The saints' ability to make money is too fast, right?

The contract was signed one after another, and it felt like there were a lot of sponsors lined up, holding the contract, waiting for Peter Kenyon to sign it.

The Bald Mr. held a small press conference in New York, USA the day after the International Champions League, and announced four new sponsorship contracts signed by Southampton.

Strictly speaking, they are not big contracts, they are small contracts of about 5 million pounds a year.

But there is not a saying?

By the way, accumulating less can make more, and accumulating sand can make a tower!

Not only Southampton, but also Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Arsenal have signed more than one sponsorship contract in the United States.

This immediately shocked the entire European football world.

With the development of the European Professional League, the market has long been saturated. Opening up overseas markets has become the top priority for all European Leagues and giant teams.

To be honest, whoever develops overseas markets well will have more development potential.

Two consecutive seasons have triggered the North American football market and made a lot of money from European teams. Do you think other European teams can't be jealous?

So, the second International Champions League here has just come to an end, and there are endless European teams who call Miracle Media to consult next season's International Champions League schedule and qualifications.

Some teams even shouted the slogan of halving their appearance fee, just to show off their faces in the International Champions League in North America.

Sun Yue was tirelessly dealing with the bosses and senior executives of this group of enthusiastic wealthy teams, but he secretly admired Young Master Huan's wisdom in his heart.

Do you make money now in the International Champions League?

Really no profit!

Although I signed a sponsor and signed a TV broadcast, the fees were not high and I didn’t have much income.

But the eight teams came to North America, and all the food, drinks, living, and playing were paid by Miracle Media, and they were all based on the highest standard treatment. How much money would they have to invest?

But after two international champions, the international champions have become famous, not only among sponsors, but also among European giant teams, because they can bring value and benefits to them.

During the International Champions League, more than a dozen sponsorship contracts announced by the eight teams one after another were all negotiated within the past year, but they were only announced until the International Champions League, which resulted in a huge advertising effect.

This event has developed to this day. Not to mention that it has no profit or loss, even if it has lost money, so what?

Who wouldn’t want to burn money to burn a mountain of gold?

If you lose a few years, you can create a golden signboard event similar to the UEFA Champions League, it will be worth it!

Just as Sun Yuele was smiling, someone knocked on the door of his office from outside.

"Come in!"

I saw an American girl with a hot body, a standard OL uniform that looked extremely convex and convex, and she walked in, and she didn't forget to throw a charming look at Sun Yue in her swaying posture.

"Mr. Sun, the mayor's office in Miami just called and said he wanted to invite you to have a meal together."

Sun Yue looked at his secretary unscrupulously and laughed: "I'm not interested in eating with an old man, but I'm more interested in eating with you, especially dinner!"

The female secretary gave him a glamorous look again, as if saying, "You damn devil, you have been tossing seven times last night, isn't that enough?"

After a while of grinding, Sun Yue quickly returned to his seriousness. "He asked me for dinner now, it must be for the final of the International Champions League. Tell him that I am not here. If he asks where he went, you say he went to the Middle East!"

"Middle East?" The American girl clearly thought of the scorching Sahara Desert.

"Don't ask so many questions, just answer as I said!"

The beautiful secretary seemed a little depressed, pouted, and turned around and was about to leave.

But when I heard a snap, my buttocks hurt. It turned out that I was sneak attacked by my boss.

But she was not angry at all. Instead, she turned around, giggled at Sun Yue, and walked away quickly.

"What a little goblin who is fascinated and never loses his life!"

Sun Yue sniffed his right hand, as if he could still smell the fragrance in the cracks of his fingers.

But after the secretary closed the door and went out, he picked up his cell phone from the table, found a number, calmed down his mood solemnly, let out a sigh before calling him.

"Young Master Huan, it's me, Lao Sun."

"Old Sun, what's the matter?" Yang Huan's voice came from the phone.

Although Sun Yue always wants to flatter Mr. Huan when he faces Mr. Huan, he even wants to flatter him all day long, and sometimes he is quite unscrupulous, but in his heart, he admires Mr. Huan so much that he is extremely loyal.

Three years ago, when he followed Master Huan, Zhang Ning and Long Wu, four people, who knew them when he walked out of London Heathrow Airport? Who knew who the four guys were?

But three years later, who in the world doesn’t know Young Master Huan? Who doesn’t know Zhang Ning? Who doesn’t know him Sun Yue?

All of this is thanks to Young Master Huan!

Moreover, Young Master Huan has never been stingy with him. He has given the salary he deserves, the benefits he deserves, and even the shares in his company. Do you think that Sun Yue can do his best to Young Master Huan and be able to die?

"Young Master Huan, Miami has called again. Qatar, Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the Middle East, Australia in Oceania, and Asia, there are some countries, cities and regions that contact us. I don't know what you think is..."

Yang Huan also pondered for a while on the other side of the phone, "What do you think?"

Sun Yue thought about it, "I personally think that the development momentum of our event in North America in the past two years is indeed very strong, especially this year, which has completely overwhelmed the North American Invitational held by RS. There are reports that European teams including Chelsea and AC Milan have made it clear that they will not continue to participate in this event."

Yang Huan just nodded calmly on the phone and didn't say anything more.

"I think we should continue to be based in North America for the time being."

The sports market in North America is indeed too big, so big that it is unimaginable!

So, it only took two years to make the International Champions League a barely gained a foothold.

If you rashly give up this piece of fat at this time, it is difficult to ensure that no one else will take advantage of the situation.

Besides, I have to eat the rice bite at a time, and I can't hurry.

"Okay, leave this matter to you."

"I understand, Young Master Huan!" Sun Yue replied calmly.
Chapter completed!
