Chapter 717: Tightrope Walking


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

There is no doubt that many people believe that Sanchez is not a person worthy of trust and 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.

Looking back at Real Madrid, who can have Sanchez’s abilities?

Just rely on that vote of former stars No kidding, they can do what Sanchez can do In fact, when many football clubs bring back former stars to take important positions, they are often more concerned about the club's image and to please the fans, but when it comes to ability to do things, among so many people, few are really reliable.

It would be too naive to run a club just because you know how to play football.

Therefore, after returning to the throne of Real Madrid chairman for several years, Florentino scouted many people, but in the end he could only reuse Sanchez for no other reason than this guy is talented.

"I received the news," Florentino said seriously.

Sanchez immediately fell silent, but listened carefully.

"The Football Association has already started secret discussions about taking back the TV broadcasting rights."

"What?"

Even though Sanchez was mentally prepared, he was still so surprised that he lost his voice.

"Yes, although it is only a secret discussion for the time being, I believe that if there is a public vote, it will definitely pass."

Sanchez smiled helplessly.

Is this for sure?

There are 20 teams in La Liga, and the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona take up most of the cake of broadcasting fees.

Do you think the other 18 teams will not be greedy or want to share this piece of cake?

"Mr.

Perez, what is the plan?"

Sanchez was very curious, although he already had a vague idea in his mind.

Florentino shook his head and sighed, "I don't know the specifics, but it is very likely to follow the Premier League model." really Sanchez felt so miserable.

Why did Ligue 1 and Serie A imitate the Premier League, and now La Liga has followed suit?

You know, Real Madrid and Barcelona will suffer heavy losses after following the Premier League's approach.

Of course, the reform is not entirely aimed at the two teams in the Spanish Super League.

The main reason is that other teams in La Liga are heavily in debt and have even threatened to go on strike.

Moreover, in recent years, the Premier League has been developing overseas markets very rapidly, which has put huge pressure on La Liga. .

Therefore, the reform of broadcasting 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 broadcast fee sharing in two or three years."

Sanchez understood what Florentino meant.

To put it bluntly, Real Madrid is walking a tightrope right now.

As long as its income drops sharply, its debt will be affected, and the risks will increase.

If it is not handled well, it is likely to be catastrophic and turn into a vicious cycle.

Therefore, you must be prepared to deal with it now.

"Mr.

Perez, you mean the World Cup," Sanchez said clearly.

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

Having said this, Florentino paused, "In addition, I will also convince the board of directors as soon as possible that the stadium renovation is also imperative.

You must make complete preparations as soon as possible.

Once the board of directors approves it, implement it immediately."

“Understand” Sanchez also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Just kidding, if this is not handled well, Florentino will definitely be severely criticized or even step down, and he will definitely not have a good life, so can he not take it seriously?

Regarding Southampton's new stadium, free tickets were quickly spread to every corner of the earth with the help of the media.

Almost everyone is surprised by Southampton's plan because it is simply an incredible thing.

There are actually teams that are stupid enough to not make any money.

However, a considerable number of fans believe that Southampton’s approach is not really free, but a disguised charging method to fool fans, because in order to get free tickets, fans must first go shopping and consume, and these are all It costs money, so free becomes a gimmick.

But someone soon stood up to refute.

The Guardian published a special analysis.

They arranged for reporters to go to Southampton to actually understand the situation, and interviewed local Saints fans in Southampton.

The final answer they got was, support overwhelming support "My wife and I have calculated that if we choose to buy daily necessities, eat out and go shopping on the artificial island in the future, we will be able to exchange for two sets of free Saints season tickets every year, and we will also There is a surplus” "I work in the retail industry.

I went to the artificial island to find out.

Things there are no more expensive than outside.

And I asked the staff in Southampton and they promised this again and said they would provide supervision.

I believe them" "I very much support Southampton's approach.

It's so cool.

The things in their fan shop are very well designed.

I like them very much, so my friends and I will definitely support it."

"The new stadium is fantastic, I love it there and I'm optimistic about this project."

"Let's see.

In the new season, I will still consider using money to buy season tickets and exchange them for free for the game.

We will wait for a while."

"I'm not very 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 pre-charge a sum of money into the fan card.

This money cannot be withdrawn and can only be consumed at Southampton authorized stores.

As long as the pre-deposited amount reaches a certain amount, it can be exchanged for free.

Season Ticket.

According to Citibank statistics, within a week of Yang Huan's announcement of the plan, more than 3,000 fans paid deposits into their fan cards, which were then exchanged for points to redeem free season tickets at the club.

According to Citibank's prediction, at least 7,000 fans will use this pre-deposit method to exchange for free season tickets, while others will pay to purchase season tickets, or exchange points for game tickets.

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

It’s not just fans.

According to Southampton’s official announcement, within a week of the plan being announced, the team received a total of more than 500 authorization applications from businesses around Southampton and across the UK.

This fully shows that businesses are generally optimistic about Southampton's plan.

That is to say, while Southampton's free ticket plan has aroused everyone's amazement 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 lineup in the League Cup final against Manchester City.

As a result, he lost to Manchester City 1-2 in the final, and unfortunately lost the chance to win the League Cup. .

However, the Saints' ability to reach the League Cup final with young players and substitutes has long won the recognition and affirmation of the fans.

Then in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Southampton avenged their shame and relied on the same set of substitutes and young players to defeat Manchester City three to one and successfully reached the semi-finals.

But Southampton's opponent in the semi-finals is Arsenal.

Although they failed to gain anything in the league, the Saints' performance in the league was surprisingly stable.

After the Champions League resumed in February, the Saints' performance in the league has always remained stable.

Except for a 1-1 draw with West Ham United in an away game, Southampton won all their opponents, including a 3-0 home victory over Liverpool and a six-game win over Liverpool.

BiZero's home victory over Norwich City was quite exciting.

Suarez and Sturridge, two forward killers, also scored a flood of goals.

They ranked first and second in the Premier League scorer list respectively.

Interestingly, four of the top ten scorers are from Southampton. , which shows the strong attack power of the saints.

After defeating Galatasaray 6-0 in the first round, Southampton returned to St.

Mary's Stadium and once again relied on two goals from Varane and Ibrahimovic to defeat the Turkish Super League 2-0.

Rich family.

The total score in the two rounds was 8-0.

Southampton reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a huge advantage.

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

But more importantly, everyone has seen a welcome change, and that is Kaka's resurrection.

In the second round, Bielsa arranged for Kaká to start.

Although the Brazilian superstar failed to score, both goals were inseparable from him.

They were both planned by him, which was particularly impressive.

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

However, Southampton's performance was eye-catching, while other Premier League teams were miserable.

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

But Pellegrini's team still showed their blood at Camp Nou.

Although Messi scored first in the second half and Zabaleta was sent off with a red card, Manchester City still relied on Kompany's goal to equalize the score and restore their 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 to 1.

Arsenal also suffered the same fate.

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

Although Bayern Munich still took the lead with Bastian Schweinsteiger's goal, Higuain's goal soon equalized the score.

In the end, the two sides tied at one to one.

But even so, Arsenal was still eliminated by Bayern Munich.

It's Manchester United.

Moyes is indeed desperate.

After everyone thought that after the unexpected upset in the first round and the 0-2 loss to Olympiakos, it would be difficult for Manchester United to have another chance in the second round, but Moyes used a 3-0 victory.

A complete victory, successfully reversing the situation, and eliminated Olympiacos with a total score of three to two.

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

At least, the Scot's originally precarious coaching position at Manchester United has been stabilized.

The media's overwhelming calls for Manchester United to fire him have temporarily stopped.

After all, the results in the European war are good, and everyone feels that they should continue to wait.

If Moyes can counterattack at the critical moment and lead Manchester United to win the Champions League, the situation will be completely different.

And Moyes himself seems to have this idea.

After all, the league results are still too bad.

It is worth mentioning that Atletico Madrid also defeated AC Milan in two rounds with a score of 1-0 away and 4-1 at home, and successfully entered the Champions League quarter-finals.

As a result, all the teams that have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League have been revealed.

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

The draw for the quarter-finals knockout rounds was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, the day after the game.

The team drawn by Southampton turned out to be:
