Florentino looked at Sanchez in front of him, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

There is no doubt that many people think that Sanchez is not a trustworthy person and worthy of reuse.

Because he rebelled again and again.

But Florentino likes to use such people because he knows that as long as he gives enough benefits, Sanchez can be devoted to you, and he is indeed very capable.

On the other hand, who can have the ability of Sanchez within Real Madrid?

Just rely on that former star?

Stop kidding, can they have the ability of Sanchez?

In fact, many football clubs invite former stars to take important positions often consider the club's image. In order to please fans, there are really few people who are reliable when it comes to doing business.

If you can play football and run a club, that would be too naive!

So, in the past few years since returning to the throne of Real Madrid, Florentino has found many people, but in the end he can only reuse Sanchez. The reason is that this guy is talented!

"I received the message!" Florentino said seriously.

Sanchez immediately silenced, but listened very seriously.

"The Football Association has already begun to secretly discuss the withdrawal of the right to broadcast the TV!"

"What?" Even though Sanchez was mentally prepared, he was still surprised and lost.

"Yes, although it's just a secret discussion for the time being, I believe that if you vote publicly, you will definitely pass!"

Sanchez smiled helplessly, is this certain?

The 20 teams in the La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​have occupied most of the cake for the broadcast fee. Do you think the other 18 teams will not be jealous? Do you want to divide this piece of cake?

"Mr. Perez, what's the plan?" Sanchez was very curious, although he had already vaguely got a rough idea in his heart.

Florentino shook his head and sighed, "I don't know the specific ones, but it's very likely to be imitating the Premier League model."

really!

Sanchez felt so distressed. Why did Ligue 1 and Serie A follow the Premier League, and now La Liga come with it?

You should know that after imitating the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona will suffer heavy losses.

Of course, the reform is not entirely aimed at the Spanish Super League. The main reason is that other teams in La Liga are heavily in debt and even threatened to strike. Moreover, in recent years, the Premier League has developed overseas markets very rapidly, which has put huge pressure on the La Liga.

Therefore, the reform of broadcast fees is imperative!

"So, my opinion is that we must further increase our commercial income before the reform to make up for the loss in broadcasting fees in two or three years!"

Sanchez understands what Florentino means.

To be honest, Real Madrid is walking a tightrope now. As long as the income drops sharply, the debt will be affected. What follows is the intensification of risks. If one is not handled well, it may be doomed and becomes a vicious cycle.

Therefore, we must prepare for response in advance now.

"Mr. Perez, do you mean...World Cup?" Sanchez also made it clear at once.

"That's right!" Florentino nodded, "We must win the most dazzling stars on the World Cup, and use the wave of the World Cup to further enhance the team's business operation capabilities."

Speaking of this, Florentino paused, "In addition, I will convince the board of directors as soon as possible that the renovation of the stadium is inevitable. You must make complete preparations quickly. Once the board of directors approves it, start to implement it immediately!"

"I understand!" Sanchez also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Just kidding, if this is not handled well, Florentino will definitely be criticized and even step down, and he will definitely not have a good life, so how can he not pay attention to it?

The move to free tickets for the new Southampton stadium was quickly spread to every corner of the earth with the help of the media.

Almost everyone was surprised by Southampton's plan because it was simply incredible.

There are actually teams that will be so stupid that they won’t make any profit.

But a considerable number of fans believe that Southampton’s approach is not really free, but rather adopts a disguised fee to fool fans, because if fans want to get free tickets, they have to go shopping and spend first, and these cost money, so free has become a gimmick.

But someone also quickly came forward to refute.

The Guardian published an analysis specifically. They arranged for reporters to go to Southampton to actually understand the situation, and interviewed local Saints fans in Southampton. The final answer was actually: support!

Overwhelmingly favorable support!

"My wife and I have calculated that if we choose to buy daily necessities, go out for dinner and go shopping in the future, we will be able to exchange for two free Saints Season Passes every year, and there is still a surplus!"

"I am in retail and went to the artificial island to learn about it. The things there are not more expensive than outside. I asked the staff in Southampton, and they promised this again and said that they would definitely give supervision, and I believe them!"

"I support Southampton's approach very much. It's so cool. The things in their fan shops are designed very well. I like them very much, so my friends and I will definitely support them!"

“The new stadium is simply amazing. I like it there. I am optimistic about this plan!”

"Look, for the new season, I'd better consider using the money to buy season tickets, exchange free tickets, and then wait for a while."

"I'm not optimistic about this plan, because... I don't know why!"

But soon, the Guardian published the data obtained by Citibank the next day.

According to the plan, fans can also choose to recharge a sum of money in advance to enter the fan card. This money cannot be collected and can only be consumed at an authorized store in Southampton. As long as the pre-deposit amount reaches a certain amount, they can be exchanged for a season ticket for free.

According to Citibank statistics, within one week after Yang Huan announced the plan, more than 3,000 fans paid pre-deposits to enter the fan card, in exchange for points and went to the club to redeem free season tickets.

According to Citibank's forecast, at least 7,000 fans will exchange for free season tickets through this pre-deposit amount, while others will use paid purchases to purchase season tickets or spend points in exchange for tickets.

But there is no doubt that Southampton's plan has made quite good progress.

Not just fans, according to Southampton's official announcement, the team received more than 500 authorization applications from merchants around Southampton and across the UK within one week of the plan's announcement.

This fully demonstrates the general optimism of merchants for this plan in Southampton.

That is, while the Southampton ticket free plan aroused everyone around the world, the Saints' performance on the football field is still quite eye-catching.

Because of his participation in the Champions League and the Premier League, Bielsa had to choose a substitute in the League Cup final against Manchester City, but he lost to Manchester City one-two in the final, regretfully losing the opportunity to win the League Cup.

But the Saints were able to reach the League Cup final with young players and substitutes, which has long won the recognition and recognition of fans.

Then in the FA Cup quarterfinals knockout match, Southampton avenged his previous shame, and with the same substitute and young player lineup, he defeated Manchester City three-to-one and successfully reached the semi-finals.

But Southampton's semi-final opponent is Arsenal.

Although he failed to win in the league, the Saints' performance in the league was surprisingly stable.

After the Champions League rekindled in February, the Saints' performance in the league has always remained steady. Except for one away game, draws West Ham United by 1-1 away, Southampton won all opponents, including a three-to-zero home victory over Liverpool and a six-to-zero home victory over Norwich, which has won quite excitingly.

Suarez and Sturridge, the two strikers, also scored goals, and they ranked first and second in the Premier League scorer list. Interestingly, four of them are from Southampton in the top ten scorers list, which shows how strong the Saints' attack power is.

After defeating Galatasaray 6-0 in the first leg, Southampton returned to St. Mary's Stadium and defeated the Turkish Super League giants 2-0 with two goals from Rane and Ibrahimovic.

The total score of two rounds was 8 to 0, and Southampton reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a huge advantage.

This also shocked fans all over the world, because Southampton's attack power is too strong.

But more importantly, everyone saw a welcome change, that is, Kaka's resurrection.

In the second leg, Bielsa arranged for Kaka to start. Although the Brazilian superstar failed to score, both goals were inseparable from him. They all came from his planning, and the impression was particularly deep.

Another midfielder, Oscar, contributed an assist and performed well.

However, Southampton performed well, while other Premier League teams were in trouble.

After Manchester City lost to Barcelona 0-2 at home in the first leg, everyone generally no longer optimistic about the Blue Moon.

But Pellegrini's team still played his own blood at the Camp Nou Stadium.

Although Messi scored the first goal in the second half and Zabaleta was sent off with a red card, Manchester City still tenaciously tied the score with Kompani's goal and saved his dignity.

However, in the final stage of the game, Iniesta assisted Alves and scored the winning goal.

Barcelona eliminated Manchester City with a total score of 4-1.

Arsenal also encountered the same experience.

The Gunners lost at home in the first round, but they didn't have much chance of winning in the second round, but instead let it go.

Although Bayern Munich was still the first to take the lead with Schweinsteiger's goal, Higuain's goal soon tied the score, and in the end, the two sides tied a draw one-to-one.

But even so, Arsenal was eliminated by Bayern Munich.

On the contrary, it was Manchester United.

Moyes is indeed a tough life. After everyone thought that the first round was unexpectedly upset and lost to Olympiacos 0-2, it was difficult for Manchester United to have another chance in the second leg. Moyes successfully reversed the situation with a three-to-zero victory, and then eliminated Olympiacos with a total score of 3-2.

This victory not only saved Manchester United, but also Moyes.

At least, the Scots' position as coach in Manchester United, which was originally in danger, has also been stabilized. The media's overwhelming calls for Manchester United to fire him could not help but take a break for a while.

After all, the European competition has good results, and everyone thinks that they should continue to wait. If Moyes can fight back at a critical moment and lead Manchester United to the Champions League, the situation will be completely different.

And Moyes himself seems to have such an idea, after all, the league results are still too bad!

It is worth mentioning that Atletico Madrid also defeated AC Milan in two rounds, successfully reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a away game of 1-0 and a four-1 home game.

In this way, all the teams that reached the Champions League quarterfinals have been released.

They are Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

The draw for the quarterfinals knockout round was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland the day after the game.
Chapter completed!
