Chapter 826 Group Operation
"Master Huan!"
"Hello, Master Huan!
When Yang Huan knocked on the door, he pushed the door and walked into the conference room. Everyone who was in the meeting stood up.
Yang Huan raised his right hand with a smile, "Everyone sits, don't stand up, don't stand up, I'm just here to listen. You continue to have a meeting, don't pay attention to me!"
Even though that's the case, how could everyone turn a blind eye to someone as big as Young Master Huan?
Sun Yue was the one who presided over this meeting, and this guy was a famous flatterer. So, when he saw Mr. Huan come in, he immediately changed the agenda of the meeting and suggested: "Since Mr. Huan is here, I suggest that Mr. Huan say a few words to us!"
After saying that, this guy still applauded with shamelessness and created momentum.
The others seemed to be eager to do so, and they all applauded.
Yang Huan had no choice but to signal everyone not to applaud, but he couldn't resist and could only nod and said, "Okay, I'll say a few words!"
Only then did everyone stop applause with a smile and sit down again.
There were even a few people who simply took out their notebooks to prepare the record, and they looked very serious and looked like a three-good student.
Originally, this meeting was proposed by Yang Huan.
His idea is very simple. Taking advantage of the core management of several teams under his command, everyone will gather together and talk about how to develop together in the future, rather than fighting each other.
"I believe everyone has received news before that Mansour in Abu Dhabi has established the City Football Group. Now Manchester City we are familiar with will be a subsidiary of this City Football Group."
"But at the same time, they are also actively establishing and acquiring professional teams in New York and Melbourne, because in the past few years, the US and Australia have been enthusiastic about football. I believe that after watching this year's International Champions League Australian Division, everyone should be able to understand!"
Where did everyone present understand?
There were really few people who could have thought that Australia's football enthusiasm would be so high.
This year, we played two games in Australia, and the venue was full and full. Not only were the fans but the sponsors and the municipal government were also quite powerful. These are enough to prove that the Australian football market is quite amazing.
"It's not just professional teams, but also youth training camps. They have set up the Dream Rights Youth Training Camp in Ghana, and are actively working with other teams including Sporting Lisbon and Espanyol."
"We can completely imagine that Manchester City is expanding their football territory!"
The cooperation between the Premier League and the Portuguese Super League has been around for a long time.
Sporting Lisbon first cooperated with Manchester United, and the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo happened to be the transfer of this cooperation, but around 2010, Sporting Lisbon turned to cooperate with Manchester City.
Projects that both sides cooperate, from team player transfer transactions, to scout intelligence sharing and young player training.
In addition to Sporting Lisbon, there are also some other teams such as Espanyol in La Liga and Aarhus in Denmark.
Not only that, in addition to establishing New York City, Manchester City has successfully acquired shares in Melbourne Heart, Australia, established Melbourne City, and also invested in Japan's Yokohama Mariners.
Yang Huan and Mubarak have learned that they are indeed very interested in entering Chinese football, so in the future, they are not ruled out to acquire a Chinese Super League team and enter the Chinese football field in full swing.
It is obvious that with the influx of capital, the way of playing professional football will also undergo subversive changes.
"In the past few years, professional football has undergone earth-shaking changes without realizing it. Many people think that only the Premier League, with the most developed business, is favored by capital, but what about it?"
"In the past few years, from Ligue 1 to Serie A to La Liga, and even the Bundesliga, there are many cases of foreign capital acquiring teams, and the number has increased sharply. What I can guarantee is that in the next few years, capital will pour into European football with a more amazing momentum!"
Many people don’t know that there is a saying that is circulating in European football.
The more depressed the economy, the more prosperous the football will be!
Maybe Chu Chu felt this was strange and completely illogical when he heard it, but if you think about it carefully, it would make sense.
Just like in the UK, before foreign capital poured in, there were the most professional teams around London, which had the best economy, but the results were the worst. Who else was besides Arsenal could barely compete for the league championship?
The Premier League teams in the southern part of the UK were completely overwhelmed by the northern teams.
But what cities are there in the north?
Manchester and Liverpool, where Manchester United and Liverpool are located, are already declining cities. Can the economy be compared with London?
Even the years when Liverpool was most prosperous was exactly when the city's economy was at its most depressing.
Nowadays, the whole world is in a depressed economic crisis, but professional football is becoming more and more popular. Why?
On the one hand, it is because of the scarcity of football clubs, which can maintain value to the greatest extent.
On the other hand, as an industry, professional football is one of the few industries in a depression economy and is still developing and expanding rapidly. As long as it is managed properly, the value of the club will also develop rapidly.
This can be seen from the rapid improvement of the overall market value of Premier League teams in the past few years.
Let me ask, how could capital let go of such an industry in the midst of an economic crisis?
"In the past few years, capital has been pouring into European football, and players' transfer fees have also risen. Especially in recent years, players' transfer fees have risen very rapidly and are shocking."
"This is the result of the abundant funds in the transfer market after the influx of capital, but the shortage of talent resources!"
Everyone was just analyzing this situation with Sun Yue, and they all believed that this was indeed caused by the influx of capital.
The most obvious thing is that the competition for top stars in the transfer market has become even more tragic.
"But I don't think it's a reasonable, long-term, sustainable way of operating, it's not healthy at all!"
"Because this excessive reliance on capital is like drinking to quench thirst, just like Chelsea. Once Abramovich locks in the money, Chelsea's past achievements and glory will immediately shake or even collapse."
"Even like Real Madrid, they have to keep the team's fiscal revenue growing tremblingly. Once their fiscal revenue encounters problems, their superstar policies will be difficult to maintain, and even the team's operation may be problematic!"
"When it comes to the speed of burning money, running a professional team is no slower than any other industry!"
"So, in the past few years, the importance of youth training has become particularly important. Youth training is divided into two parts: the exploration and training of players. The former relies on the scouting system, while the latter relies on the youth training coaching team and a suitable training environment."
"In this case, the advantages of group operation are reflected!"
"There is no football team in the world that can spread its scouting network all over the world, because maintaining the operation of such a scouting network is already an astronomical figure."
"But, one team doesn't work, what about five teams? What about ten teams?"
"Also, in a stable football club, it is difficult for youth training players to enter the first team, because the first team will not allow youth training players to make mistakes, but which young player does not make mistakes?"
"But no matter how talented or outstanding young players are, they need more game training to improve their strength, so the usual practice is simple, renting, or selling, signing repurchase terms like Real Madrid, or it is a common model that is popular in Italy, but has now decided to cancel."
"But these are all problems, because we have to consider the team's tactical characteristics, the players' adaptability, the quality of training and the opportunity to play, and these are not guaranteed, so there are many talented players every year, which are destroyed in this loan."
"But group operation can ensure that players are transferred within the group, ensure that everything about players is under control, and maximize the use of resources."
Everyone present was the core senior executives of various clubs, and they had already learned some of Yang Huan's ideas.
So, after hearing what he said at this time, I felt that it made sense and knew better what he was going to do and how he was going to do.
"I think we are now qualified to operate in a group, and there is only one problem before us, that is, how to optimize the allocation of internal resources of the group and ensure the operation of the group. This is what I hope everyone can take this opportunity to discuss and research it."
With one group, it commands multiple professional teams, there is no precedent in this situation in the past.
Therefore, Yang Huan can only cross the river by feeling the stones and take one step at a time.
The previous goal is very clear, and it is also visible and tangible. The key question is how to achieve it.
"I personally have a few immature opinions. Let me put them out here first, and I will discuss them."
Everyone listened attentively.
"First of all, of course, it is supporting services. I think that the scouting system, data analysis center, R&D center and medical center of each club have been integrated, and an independent department has been established within the group to provide complete and comprehensive supporting services for each club."
"Secondly, I think the strategic department should be established, not only at the commercial and capital level, but also at the tactical level. We must always understand and grasp the latest professional league trends, the most advanced tactical concepts, and analyze and apply them."
"Third, I think that an efficient personnel transfer mechanism that can take care of all interests is also crucial, because once the group operation is implemented, the internal personnel flow will inevitably be greatly increased. At that time, how to ensure the interests of all aspects and ensure the maximum utilization of talent resources is very critical."
"The end is the management system. The benefits of group management are obvious, but there will definitely be disadvantages. How to form an efficient management mechanism, coordinate planning, coordinate all parties, and optimize resource allocation is also a very important part."
Speaking of this, Yang Huan smiled.
"All the core senior executives of each club, and have many years of experience in managing professional clubs and even wealthy teams. I believe that everyone will definitely be more familiar with and understand these aspects than me."
"So, as I just said, today, I am sitting here just listening, I hope everyone present can speak freely, no matter what your thoughts are in your mind, you can bring them up and discuss and negotiate."
"Because I believe that when we integrate all our resources and operate them efficiently, we will become the most competitive team in European professional football. Each of our teams has the opportunity to become Southampton and stand at the top of Europe!"
Although judging from the background and scale of the professional league, the one with the most chance to win the European championship must be the teams in the top five leagues.
But after group operation, there is also this possibility for teams in low-level leagues.
Why did Ajax, Porto and other teams win the Champions League?
Isn’t it because they have accumulated a group of young but very outstanding players?
In the past, once these small teams were trained, they were easily poached. It was difficult to gather such outstanding stars like Ajax and Porto.
But after group operation, this possibility exists.
And it's not small!
