Chapter 718 Youth Training is Actually a Business

Image ambassador?

Assist Liverpool FC to strengthen various cooperation in China and provide assistance to Liverpool in promotional activities.

"Coach Fan, I really hope to cooperate with you, but I don't know if you are willing."

Liverpool has many fans in China.

After the acquisition is completed, necessary online and offline interactive activities must be organized. Xiang Yang is quite looking forward to letting this player who was once one of the best players in China take up this position.

Professional marketing and management teams will be hired separately.

But there must always be a character who can be put on the table.

Hua Xia, which player has been linked to Liverpool?
Apart from the one in front of me, there is really no one else.

Even Fan Zhiyi felt reluctant, after all, he did not really join.

But Xiangyang said this beautifully.

After explaining the meaning of "renewing the old relationship", Fan Zhiyi's eyes lit up and he was indeed moved.

but
Turning his gaze to Xu Genbao beside him, Fan Zhiyi hesitated again.

After all, his current identity is the head coach of the Shanghai East Asia team.

"Xiao Fan, don't feel burdened." Xu Genbao acted very calmly. After failing to get promoted to the Super League, he had considered the arrangements for next season.

His career as a player can be considered as a brilliant one among Chinese players.

Unfortunately, he is not good at being a head coach.

He has a hot temper and cannot handle relationships within the team well, so the atmosphere in the East Asian team, which is mainly composed of young players, is very tense.

Xiangyang's unexpected suggestion actually solved a problem for him.

Seeing that he was willing to let the person go, Xiangyang couldn't help but smile.

He didn't know whether there was any conflict between the master and the disciple, but when he thought about this matter, he was certain that Xu Genbao would let the person go.

There is no other reason.

For Shanghai Banking Corporation, which urgently needs financial support, he dare not say no.

Why, when Zhang Linfan was valued by overseas clubs, the transfer that was almost agreed upon was suddenly stopped?
The player and his agent have their own ideas.

The club has it too.

What does it mean to sell Zhang Linfan to Chelsea or Liverpool, two top clubs?
A hundred times stronger than Evergrande.

Even if Paris Saint-Germain comes, they are stronger than Evergrande.

Because this is equivalent to helping Shanghai East Asia to carry out a unique wave of publicity.

No matter what the system is, the goal of a youth training club is to sell the young players they train to higher-level leagues to get returns.

To put it simply, it’s the word “business”.

Why are there so many Japanese players entering the top five leagues in the future?

Even, is it possible to form an adult team composed entirely of players playing in European leagues?

Don't always focus on the words "campus football first, professional football later".

From a business perspective, making money is the most important thing.

Kaoru Mitoma sold for 300 million euros, Takumi Minamino sold for 80 euros, Dairan Maeda sold for 153 million euros, and Ritsu Doan sold for 170 million euros.
The prices of these players seem cheap.

But this is not the case.

According to the transfer regulations, if they transfer a second or third time, the club that trains them can still receive training fees.

The youth training compensation bill facing Japanese high school and junior high school teams is not a small amount of money.

Not small for a club in Neon.

Moreover, cases of companies sponsoring students to study abroad are also common in Japan.

Domestic fans always like to laugh at Zhang Xizhe, saying that he was just a salesman for a car company and went to Wolfsburg.

However, this outright commercial behavior was promoted as early as the Neon Professional League in 08, and even the tradition of "study abroad with money" was proposed.

Volkswagen helped Hasebe Makoto go to the Bundesliga in 2008.

He also joined Wolfsburg.

This guy was lucky enough to win the Bundesliga championship the following year.

Looking at Zhang Xizhe from the other side, it’s a bit miserable.

In 14, Wolfsburg's midfield was full of talented players.

Not only De Bruyne, but also Bundesliga rookie Aaron Hurt, 3000 million euro player Schurrle, and Perisic and Caligiuri who are in their prime.

Arnold, who is younger than him, is also the captain of the German U21 national team.

In terms of value and strength, Zhang Xizhe's joining Wolfsburg can be described as "born at the wrong time".

And Hasebe Makoto, who arrived in the Bundesliga a few years earlier than Zhang Xizhe.

However, he was able to move to Nuremberg and Frankfurt thanks to his performance over the past few years and the Bundesliga clubs' familiarity with him.

As more and more Japanese players enter European leagues, European clubs' views on Japanese football have gradually changed.

They are no longer "commodities" forced upon the team by sponsors.

Instead, they can become a main player or contribute to the club.

They even ended up overthrowing the main house (there are a lot of Japanese players in the Bundesliga), and the large number of overseas players catalyzed the qualitative change of the local football team.

What about Chinese football?
After the rise of money-driven football, Zhang Xizhe's transfer fee of 150 million euros was not enough to even make it into the top ten in the domestic league.

A large number of young players have easily received high salaries at an early stage due to the skyrocketing salaries caused by the strong demand of capital for club performance.

How many people still have the passion to gamble on their fate?

This is also why Xiangyang is blocking while dredging.

How to relieve it?

To make the club profitable by selling potential young players.

We need to let people who know more about Chinese football come to help us.

It's impossible to expect him to waste his time and brainpower on a business worth at most one or two million pounds. "If Coach Xu agrees, I have nothing to say." Fan Zhiyi expressed his opinion in front of everyone.

He thought this was quite interesting.

HYS has invested so much in Chinese youth football, so even if he is just an ambassador, he will not be idle.

Maybe, when we look back in a few years, his development will be even smoother than Gao Hongbo's.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiang, you have a good general."

Director Wei sent his congratulations in a timely manner. Lao Fan’s status and influence in domestic football cannot be underestimated.

As a person, apart from being a bit rude, he is quite upright.

He was quite clear about this.

"Okay then. Since Director Wei and Coach Xu agree, and Mr. Fan is willing to help, I will ask my assistant to draft the contract and related documents."

Xiangyang immediately said that the signature should be signed as soon as possible.

After signing, he could naturally push the whole thing over to Fan Zhiyi.

According to the information, before joining Shanghai East Asia, Lao Fan had been the youth training director of Shenhua and the head coach of the U18 team.
Although there is nothing impressive.

But Xiangyang felt that it was enough.

"It seems that Mr. Xiang is really eager to recruit talents." Seeing how anxious he was, Gao Hongbo, who had been silent all the time, felt a little envious.

"That's all thanks to Coach Gao for his matchmaking." Fan Zhiyi, who was in a very good mood, also changed his tone and stopped calling "Xiao Gao" and "Xiao Gao".

"Coach Gao, I have a request for you." Xiang Yang said with a smile, "Can you please sign an autograph for my father? He has always been your fan."

Gao Hongbo was instantly flattered by the respectful title and the fact that he even mentioned his father.

"When my father heard that I was meeting you, he told me a lot about how you, Gao Feng, Xie Feng, and the player named Cao formed the Four Great Detectives and shocked other teams."

"Cao Xiandong." Gao Hongbo said with a smile:

"The Four Famous Detectives, they are all supported by the fans. I couldn't even pass the physical test back then."

"But it didn't stop you from becoming the top bidder."

Gao Hongbo felt even happier after hearing this.

In 1997, he transferred to Guangzhou Songri Club coached by Xu Genbao for 120 million yuan, becoming the highest transfer target of that year. There are not many people who can mention this amount now.

But Xiangyang said it out.

What does this mean?
People also value themselves.

After thinking about it, Gao Hongbo's feeling can only be described in four words - like a spring breeze.

Although his playing record is not as brilliant as Fan Zhiyi next to him, he is actually unwilling to accept it in his heart.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do even if you are dissatisfied.

The player era is over.

What we are comparing now is the coaches’ performance.

When it comes to being a coach, he obviously has more experience than Fan Zhiyi, so he said, "I don't know, Mr. Xiang, what do you think of the result of today's game?"

"Grades don't matter." Xiangyang pursed his lips and shook his head.

He really didn't expect that this group of young players could beat the South Korean team.

However, there is one thing he still hopes these young players can do on the court.

"I am actually a person who pursues the process more than the result. Of course, if the result is what I want, it would be great. But in the process, I hope these young people can show the spirit of your generation of old players. Losing is not terrible, but losing without any face is too disappointing."

As soon as the words fell, the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere suddenly dropped several degrees.

Unlike Director Wei who was a little embarrassed and reluctantly withdrew his smile, Fan Zhiyi felt that these words spoke directly to his heart, and said angrily:

"That's right, the most frightening thing is losing all my face."

"If you don't care about your dignity anymore, I think the fans will only say these six words."

Thinking of a famous saying by a fan in the future, Xiangyang couldn't help but add another sentence.

Of course, he didn't say what these six words meant.

But whether it was Director Wei, Gao Hongbo, Xu Genbao, or Fan Zhiyi, they all knew in their hearts that it would definitely not be good words.

"Well, Coach Xu and Xiao Gao, please take some time to come with me to the locker room."

"."

"Xixi, come here, this is a gift for you." Li Bingbing came to visit the crew, and his main purpose was to thank Liu Xixi.

Director Zhang also gave face to this actor who achieved good results in Europe and the United States with "The Social Network".

It ranked first in North America in its first week, with box office revenue of 2300 million US dollars, which is almost half of the total box office of "Hero" in North America.

This result is very impressive.

As long as the box office holds up next week, breaking 100 million will not be a problem.

"Thank you, Sister Bingbing." Liu Qianqian, who just returned from the Asian Games, greeted everyone she met with a smile these two days.

I don’t know what good thing happened.

"Is filming going smoothly?" Li Bingbing asked.

Liu Qianqian nodded happily, "It went very smoothly. Director Zhang has been praising me for my good condition these past two days."

"Oh, really? That's a happy event." Li Bingbing said, and then he leaned close to Liu Qianqian's ear and asked in a low voice:

"Where are the two babies? Why didn't I see them on the set?"

Liu Qianqian smiled and said, "They are sleeping in the hotel. They are really famous~"

"Wow, even better than you?" Li Bingbing covered his mouth after joking, and then asked: "Tell me quickly, have they finished filming their scenes?"

Liu Qianqian thought about it and decided to follow the progress.

"It will be their turn tomorrow."

"Then I have to stay one more day and visit them tomorrow."

"Okay~"
