Chapter 79 Devil’s Wings! I want to plant the red flag all over London! [First order requested]
“Ha, Jonathan, I knew you would definitely bring me good news.”
At the North Gate of Hyde Park, Yang Cheng was at the door of the office, enthusiastic to greet Jonathan Barnett.
This made the English agent a little flattered.
He had not been treated like this when he came to Yang Cheng's side several times before.
This is also a guy who can’t afford to be early for no profit!
Speaking of which, the cooperation between Jonathan Barnett and the Bayswater Chinese was quite smooth.
From Joe Hart to Huddlestone, both transfers managed by Jonathan Barnett went smoothly.
The most important thing is that all parties are relatively satisfied.
Even Everton and Tottenham Hotspur complained that it was too expensive.
"How's it going? Is there any news from Southampton?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Didn’t he ask Jonathan Barnett about the situation in Southampton before?
Later I learned that the Saints were forced to sell their main center, Beatty, in order to reduce their debt burden.
Now, Southampton has been relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship.
Although there is a parachute protection policy, the Saints' revenue has been greatly affected.
The loss of 10 to 20 million pounds a year makes it even more difficult for the Saints, who already have only half a life left.
“Although Southampton have been relegated to the Championship, they still want to return to the Premier League so that they can maximize their survival.”
Jonathan Barnett analyzes Southampton Strategy for the new season.
“Head coach Redknapp has been retained, and everyone with high level of fighting ability in the team has left. Those who are still staying are willing to follow the team in the English Championship.”
This is the foundation of a strong old team.
Even if they are relegated, there are still many people who are willing to stay and see if they can return to the Premier League.
If it succeeds, then those people who stay will be the heroes.
If you fail, then leave.
Usually clubs will promise some relatively generous conditions. For example, if they fail to reach the Super League in the new season, they will ask for lower transfer fees, so that players can get better salary packages when negotiating contracts with other clubs. .
Currently, Southampton’s most valuable player is Peter Crouch.
Yang Cheng quite likes Peter Crouch.
If possible, he really wants to sign this center.
But Peter Crouch is worth more than 10 million pounds, which is simply not something Yang Cheng can afford.
That’s not necessary either.
In the new Premier League season, Yang Cheng will reuse Lambert and do his best to cultivate Dzeko.
In addition, Ashley Young can also play the forward position.
If nothing unexpected happens, Peter Crouch should go to Liverpool.
“I have talked with the senior management of Southampton. They are very optimistic about Theo Walcott. On the contrary, Gareth Bale does not particularly care. Redknapp also plans to reuse him in the new season. Walcott.”
Yang Cheng was silent, waiting for the next step.
“They offered a package price of 3 million pounds for these two young players.”
"3 million pounds?"
Yang Cheng lost his voice, and he even looked directly at Jonathan Barnett.
The sharp eyes are like asking: Are you kidding me, you bad old man?
“I swear, this is Southampton’s asking price, really.”
Yang Cheng now feels like being ripped off.
"Two players who have not played half of the first team, want 3 million pounds? Why don't they grab it?"
Jonathan Barnett was speechless.
He wanted to ask, how did you keep an eye on these two little guys?
After Yang Cheng took a deep breath, he thought about it secretly.
Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott are both young players with great potential and both are very fast.
In Yang Cheng's previous life, he always felt that Walcott was trained crookedly by Wenger.
Of course, Wenger cannot be blamed for this.
In those years, in order to ensure the top four in the league and ensure the club's revenue, Arsenal had no money to bring in talented players. Wenger couldn't make a fuss about young people?
The reason why Yang Cheng wants to sign Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott is because he values the potential of these two young players.
If nothing else, if these two people are cultivated, will the two frontcourt wings of the Bayswater Chinese not be allowed to take off in the future?
Proper devil wings, do you have them?
With Lambert or Dzeko in the frontcourt, who can stop such an attacking combination?
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng no longer hesitated.
"I promise, for only 3 million pounds, I will let these two players come and report!" Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and said.
Jonathan Barnett sitting aside was surprised.
Although the number of contacts was not many, he could tell Yang Cheng's temper even if he asked himself.
He is definitely a master who plucks his hair.
Can you spend £3 million on two 16-year-old players?
Jonathan Barnett doesn't have any other ideas. After all, many young players are promising, but few can be cultivated.
The key lies in how to train the head coach and whether he has the ability to train him.
Judging from the past two years, the Bayswater Chinese have trained many young players.
Yang Cheng also noticed the look on Jonathan Barnett's face, secretly moved in his heart, and smiled confidently.
"Jonathan, there shouldn't be any players in our company who can compete with Rooney or Beckham, right?"
Jonathan Barnett looked a little embarrassed.
Rooney’s agent is Paul Stretford, who is also a very famous agent in the UK.
Beckham's agent is Simon Fowler. He was not originally from the football industry, but from the entertainment industry. He first became the agent of Beckham's wife, Victoria, and then took over Beckham's business.
This also puts a lot of pressure on Jonathan Barnett.
Even the entertainment industry has crossed over to football to compete for food, and has also taken away golden resources like Beckham. What about him?
The biggest player now is Ashley Cole.
Yang Cheng sometimes thinks about it, and the brokerage industry is also quite involved.
Many times, they also have to wander in some gray edges.
Jonathan Barnett was severely fined for having private contact with Chelsea about Ashley Cole, which is one of the examples.
“If you cooperate with me well, I guarantee that in the near future, you will have superstars who will not lose to Rooney and Beckham!”
Jonathan Barnett was shocked. .
Reason told him that Yang Cheng was painting a pie for him.
But he really wanted to eat it.
……
After meeting Jonathan Barnett, Yang Cheng set off for the FA headquarters.
Having been here several times, he was no stranger to this [Anonymous Flirter] and went straight to the office of Chairman Geoff Thompson.
Coincidentally, CEO David Davis and others are also there.
"You came just in time, Yang. We are talking about your latest application. Are you sure you are not joking?"
Geoff Thompson raised a document on the table in front of him.
Yang Cheng knew just by looking at the cover that it was the materials used by the Bayswater Chinese to apply for special genius clauses for Dzeko.
“You just spent 50,000 pounds to buy a genius?”
Everyone suddenly laughed.
They all felt that Yang Cheng was acting nonsense.
"The amount of the transfer fee has nothing to do with whether he is a genius."
In secret, Yang Cheng would be a little embarrassed, but in public, he would not admit it even to death.
“You bring a player from Bosnia and Herzegovina to play as a midfielder, and then you say that he is a genius as a forward. Is this reasonable?”
Geoff Thompson was speechless. .
If this gets out and is exposed by the media, it will be another problem for the FA.
Are special talents so abundant that they are so cheap?
Geoff Thompson seems to be able to see the headlines.
But Yang Cheng still looked at everyone seriously, "I said he is, then he must be!"
This is to fight to the end.
Everyone was also a little surprised.
To say that Yang Cheng has indeed done a very good job in cultivating players in the past two years.
The Bayswater Chinese can advance from English League Two to the English Championship and then to the Premier League. His transfer ability and level of player training are obvious to all.
But it is indeed a bit outrageous for a Bosnian player imported for 50,000 pounds to apply for special talent clauses.
If you were from Brazil, Argentina, or South America, that would still make sense.
But Bosnia and Herzegovina...
"Okay." Geoff Thompson decided not to get entangled with Yang Cheng on this matter.
He is only responsible for reporting to the Ministry of Interior, and then the Ministry of Interior will organize a hearing. Whether he can pass or not has nothing to do with him.
So, there is no need for him to be in trouble with Yang Cheng on this matter.
“Who do you plan to invite to testify this time?”
"Bosnia and Herzegovina national team coach Blaze Sriskovic, he has a nickname called Maradona of the Balkans."
"Zidane praised him highly and considered him to be Marseille's One of the best 11 players in history.”
It’s Maradona and Zidane, which sounds really bluffing.
Yang Cheng was afraid that things would change, so he made a special trip.
He felt relieved only after seeing Geoff Thompson and David Davis sign and seal it with his own eyes.
But when he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Geoff Thompson again.
"I heard that you have never attended the coaching training class."
Yang Cheng knew that he would not be able to survive this time, so he laughed and said, "I am not suitable to be a teacher."
Thompson and others almost burst into laughter.
Should you be a teacher?
We asked you to be a student.
But this is exactly the most embarrassing thing right now.
The Premier League head coach goes to a coaching training class as a student?
Maybe at some point, the teacher on stage will be Yang Cheng’s coach.
Won’t Brian Kidd give coaching training classes?
Wouldn't this make the situation very embarrassing?
“If you ask me, you don’t have to go to such trouble. Since I signed up, you can just turn a blind eye and save yourself the exam. Just issue me a certificate and that’s it, saving you the trouble. .”
Geoff Thompson and others looked at each other.
"Do you really think we don't want to? The media outside are watching. They are now concerned about, have you passed the exam?"
"Then I can't take the exam!" Yang Cheng added Feel confident.
What a shame for labor and management if you fail the exam.
Forget it, coaching and exams are two different things.
The coaching exams are all theoretical and basic.
Yang Cheng had been coaching for 30 years in his previous life and had never passed this test at all.
Coaching certificate?
It's possible to travel through the past.
What now?
Let him memorize again, study again, and then take the exam?
What if I fail the exam, will I still be laughed at by media reporters?
Are you crazy?
"It's very difficult for us to deal with you like this." Geoff Thompson was very depressed.
Yang Cheng really wants to imitate Crow, but he is a gentle man, not a young and Dangerous boy.
"Then let's put it off. Sooner or later, the media will be diverted. We'll talk about it then."
Everything is uncertain, let's put it off!
This is called waiting for change.
Geoff Thompson was also helpless.
Putting it off like this is really not an option.
Especially considering that the Bayswater Chinese will also play in the UEFA Cup in the new season. Brian Kidd will still be the head coach and Yang Cheng will be the actual commander. Does this make sense?
……
Yang Cheng did not stay at the FA headquarters for too long.
After leaving, he first went back to the club, called Xia Qing and Adam Crozier, and had lunch together.
In the afternoon, we went to the Brent training base together.
As early as last year, Bayswater Chinese acquired Hendon and Princes Park clubs and has been integrating them.
At the same time, Dan Ashwarton, Gary Worthington, Matt Crocker and Mike Rigg have been building a youth training system and a scouting network.
In the past year, the Bayswater Chinese have invested a lot in youth training and have basically figured out the situation in the surrounding areas, especially some young players with potential.
At the same time, we also cooperate with schools and youth training clubs.
As the Bayswater Chinese entered the Premier League, defeated Chelsea in the League Cup final and won the championship, they became famous in the west London area.
Arsenal and Tottenham are both in north London, and Chelsea still does not even have a complete youth training.
In the entire west of London, the Chinese community in Bayswater has the greatest momentum and the most promising development potential.
With this background, coupled with the club's increased investment in youth training, and the promotion of the club's advanced youth training concepts, excellent coaching staff, and software and hardware facilities, it has indeed attracted many young players.
The first youth training player selection attracted hundreds of young players from surrounding areas.
Plus the players’ families.
This immediately made the Brent training base very lively.
When Yang Cheng and his party arrived, there was already a huge crowd.
And Yang Cheng is also looking forward to it. Is there any name he is familiar with among these hundreds of young players?
...
After a year, the Bayswater Chinese have invested heavily in the Brent training base.
With the support of the government, some of the previously occupied vacant land has now been basically cleared and fenced.
The entire project is divided into 3 phases.
The first is the youth echelon, which covers the largest area and has more training grounds. There is also an entire training building dedicated to the youth team, as well as an entertainment, learning, and entertainment building dedicated to the youth training academy. Accommodation complex.
Both the training building and the comprehensive building have only two floors. They have already been topped out and are currently being renovated in full swing.
According to the plan, the project should be completed and accepted in early August.
At that time, the youth training academy will be officially opened.
Phase 2 is located in the south of the Youth Training Academy, in the area adjacent to the Brent Reservoir. It is separated from the Youth Training Academy by a road leading to the Brent Cross Shopping Center.
According to the planning and design, in addition to the three training grounds for the first team, Phase 2 also has a training building with 2 floors above ground and 1 floor underground, a lakeside living building, and an indoor football field.
Among them, among the three training grounds, the grass of the main training ground will strictly follow the Premier League standards, simulating the standards of the home field used by the Bayswater Chinese, from the size to the turf, it will be exactly the same.
The advantage of this is to make the players more familiar with the home court.
Phase 3 is the Jubilee Park stadium where Yang Cheng is currently standing.
According to the planning and design, this stadium will be demolished.
Beside this stadium, the Bayswater Chinese Club will build a professional football field specifically for the youth team. It will have stands and a sunshade roof to facilitate fans to watch the youth team's games.
The entire project is expected to take at least 2 years, not counting land, and will require an investment of more than 20 million pounds.
The promise Yang Cheng made back then was quite reliable.
More importantly, all the hardware in the training base is made according to the most advanced standards.
In the second phase, the players' dormitory building will be equipped with 40 rooms. Each room is decorated in strict accordance with the standards of a five-star hotel, which can be said to be quite luxurious.
……
"Currently, we have negotiated cooperation with many schools and youth training clubs in west London."
Dan Ashwarton reported the latest progress of the youth training academy to Yang Cheng and his party.
“Through this year’s youth training selection, we will be able to establish a complete youth training system.”
After the youth training system is completed, the next thing to do is to continuously update it. iterate.
This is the work of water mill, and it requires long-term investment.
Without continuous investment for four to five years, or even longer, it is impossible to see results.
But contrary to overseas fans, local fans attach great importance to the club's investment in youth training.
Yang Cheng is quite satisfied with the integration of the youth academy and the expansion of the scouting network over the past year.
He affirmed the work of Dan Ashwarton and others.
At the same time, he also made arrangements for the next step of work.
"I hope to further expand the youth training territory and operate 10 satellite training centers throughout Greater London and surrounding cities in the next five years."
Satellite training centers?
Everyone present was unfamiliar with this new term.
Even Dan Ashwalton and others, who are experts in youth training, are also at a loss.
Have you ever heard of satellite clubs? What is a satellite training center?
Yang Cheng had already expected it.
"The Football Association now has youth training regulations. The club's youth training selection range is limited, and it revolves around a 60 to 90-minute drive, right?"
All those involved in youth training Everybody knows.
Yang Cheng saw a map of Greater London spread out on the table, which marked some clubs that were cooperating with the Bayswater Chinese.
But to be honest, this kind of cooperation is quite unreliable.
If they can cooperate with the Bayswater Chinese today, they can cooperate with Chelsea and other teams tomorrow.
Whoever offers good conditions can be fooled.
There are so many teams in London. When everyone pays attention to youth training, how fierce will the competition be?
“Starting from our training base, it’s a 60-minute drive to Walthamstow, northeast of London.”
This place is located in Tottenham Hotspur. East of Deer Lane Stadium.
"Going south, it's probably to Kingston upon Thames. If you go east, it's a 60-minute drive and you're still in the city center."
Everyone nodded, but still didn't understand what Yang Cheng was going to say.
The FA has a long-standing restriction on talent selection, and everyone knows this rule.
“I have a friend who is engaged in bankruptcy and reorganization. He told me that in recent years, many football, rugby or golf clubs have gone bankrupt around London.”
“Then I Just think, we will look for suitable youth training clubs here, here, and here in the surrounding areas of London, and in these other peripheral cities, as long as they are densely populated, especially where the middle and lower classes gather. "< br>
"Acquire them in the name of our club and turn them into our satellite training centers."
Dan Ashwarton immediately understood, "You mean, it's like our sub-base."
“That’s right.”
“This is a good idea. If this is the case, we can open sub-bases through reasonable layout and cover our entire youth training selection territory throughout Greater London and even surrounding cities.” Dan· Ashwarton was amazed.
“This is simply a genius idea!” Gary Worthington also exclaimed in praise.
As the scouting director, he is very aware of the importance of selection scope.
Why was Manchester United able to form Class 92 back then, but not now?
Leaving aside all other factors of the right time, place, and people, the scope of material selection is limited.
If we really follow the current selection standards, many players in Class 92 will not be able to go to Manchester United.
"How to operate daily management?" Matt Crocker is a development coach and pays more attention to practice.
"The main base is under unified management. All the software and hardware facilities in the branch base are the same as the main base. All coaches are assigned from the main base. The youth training concept and training courses are the same as the main base."
< br>"Players are registered, managed and planned by us, and each training center will We will conduct internal competitions for a period of time, and the players with outstanding performance will be selected to our training base for top training." Dan Ashwarton and others thought about it individually. The more they thought about it, the more they realized Yang Cheng's idea. His genius is that he almost perfectly circumvents the restrictions of the Football Association's youth training selection scope.
This is tantamount to saying that within the Chinese youth training in Bayswater, a pyramid system will be built and selections will be made layer by layer.
As long as the Bayswater Chinese youth training becomes famous, it is completely conceivable that at the bottom of the pyramid, there will be a steady stream of young people flocking in every year.
This is just like those famous schools in China. The more students there are, the greater the probability of producing good students.
The better the students we train, the more outstanding students we can attract.
This can form a continuous and progressive positive cycle.
“Wait.”
Xia Qing saw that the group of people were getting more and more excited as they discussed. She couldn’t help it and had to pour cold water on them.
"I don't understand football and youth training, but have you ever thought about a problem? The Brent training base cost us 20 million pounds, not counting the second and third phases. Just the first phase cost us at least 8 More than one million, not counting the land price."
Xia Qing looked at her juniors speechlessly, "Build 10 satellites in 5 years. Training center, how much will it cost?”
“Also, you said you want to buy those bankrupt clubs, okay, then why do you think we will run them after they have been bankrupt for many years? Can you do it?”
After hearing this, Dan Ashwarton and others couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at Yang Cheng.
Isn’t that right?
Just now, I was beaten to death by a big pie just because I was happy.
Now that Xia Qing said this, it is very realistic.
Invest 80 million pounds in youth training in 5 years?
It’s impossible for that tycoon from Chelsea to be so arrogant.
Adam Crozier was frowning and thinking.
Based on his understanding of Yang Cheng, he shouldn't have thought about this.
Yang Cheng chuckled, his senior sister was becoming more and more like a housekeeper.
This is good.
Finance is all about preventing and controlling risks.
“Actually, I didn’t make it clear just now. Our satellite training center is under unified management but operates independently. That is to say, after our acquisition, this satellite training center is still independent and can apply for communities and cities. , subsidies from various public funds of the Football Association”
It’s also a lot of money.
“The biggest difference between us and those bankrupt clubs is that we can manage as a group, allocate resources reasonably, minimize operating costs, and use our youth training as the leader to drive satellite training Development of the Center.”
"In addition, I have considered that the operating costs are actually not that high. For example, in Walthamstow, we only need one training building, and only four training grounds at most are enough."
"4 seats?" Matt Crocker didn't react for a moment.
But Dan Ashwarton on the side clapped his hands vigorously, "Yes, 4 seats, because starting from the age of 13, the drive is 1 hour and 30 minutes, and you can come directly to our training base."
"No, we don't even need 4 seats. We can stagger the time when arranging training and let them take turns to train. As long as the coordination is good, 3 seats or even 2 seats may be enough."
Everyone suddenly realized it.
Yang Cheng nodded and smiled: "We must actively refer to the support of the community and public funds and allocate resources reasonably. In this case, our investment pressure will be reduced a lot."
"I Within five years, our Bayswater Chinese red team flag will be planted throughout Greater London and surrounding cities.”
At this moment, Yang Cheng is full of indescribable ambition.
At present, investing in youth training is still a thankless task.
Because all Premier League clubs are now heavily in debt, they have very little willingness to invest in youth training.
In a few years, as the value of players continues to rise, everyone will realize the importance of youth training, and when they begin to increase their efforts, the scope of talent selection will limit them.
At this time, the satellite training center’s advantage in selecting materials becomes apparent.
The Bayswater Chinese will form a dimensionality reduction attack!
We keep the good and suitable players for ourselves and sell the ones who are not suitable.
Youth training can make a lot of money every year by selling people.
And Yang Cheng now wants to seize the most advantageous places before the Premier League teams can react.
After all, the biggest difference between football youth training and other sports is that it has venue requirements.
Especially in a few years, the value of players will continue to rise, youth training will receive more and more attention, and major youth training clubs will also see the prospects, and then they will want to do it...
< br>
Not to mention how difficult it is, even if it is done, the investment will be several times, or even dozens of times, what it is now.
More importantly, where is London?
The city with the most professional clubs in the world.
Yang Cheng saw an interesting thing in his previous life.
Arsenal’s training base is in Colney, a full 20 to 30 kilometers away from the north of London.
If they strictly follow the scope of youth training selection, then the most densely populated area in Greater London will have nothing to do with them.
As a result, Arsenal did something very disgusting to their rivals in North London.
They bought a youth training club about 2 kilometers east of Tottenham's White Hart Lane stadium and built a satellite youth training center with only four fields.
Good guy, kick your nose in the face and plant a flag directly on the head of your mortal enemy!
Tottenham Hotspur have nothing to do about it.
There are quite a few things like this.
You disgust me, I disgust you, everyone can do it according to their own abilities.
What Yang Cheng means now is to take advantage of the fact that the current low-level league teams are having a hard time, and there are many bankrupt clubs, so he should first expand the youth training network.
Yang Cheng’s goal is to plant the red team flag of the Bayswater Chinese team throughout Greater London!
Especially the area around Greater London, which is the most densely populated area in the UK.
...
Speaking of Walthamstow in northeast London, Yang Cheng thought of a player, Harry Kane.
This kid has lived in that place since he was a child.
Interestingly, he is now in the Chinese youth training camp in Bayswater.
And I joined last year.
Harry Kane can also be considered ill-fated.
He first received training at a local youth training club in Walthamstow called Ridgeway Wanderers, and served as a goalkeeper.
Everyone knows that it is usually the person who performs the worst who is the goalkeeper.
It is worth mentioning that Ridgeway Wanderers is also Beckham’s youth training alma mater.
And Beckham and Harry Kane went to the same middle school.
In 2001, Harry Kane went to Arsenal's youth academy in Colney.
Due to his late development, Harry Kane was short and fat at the time. Although he had excellent footwork, he was terminated by Arsenal.
After leaving Colney, Harry Kane could only return to Ridgeway Wanderers.
After that, Harry Kane’s father often took him everywhere for trial training, hoping to join the youth training academy of a regular professional team.
In 2004, the Bayswater Chinese were promoted to the English Championship and invested heavily in youth training. They heard about it and came here.
At that time, the Bayswater Chinese youth training talent was not many, and after the integration, there were even fewer.
Furthermore, the youth training concept also pays more attention to foot skills, so Harry Kane was naturally admitted.
It was only a few months later, when Yang Cheng inspected the youth training academy, that he found this name on the list, and then compared it with his home address, and then confirmed that this Harry Kane was the one he had known in his previous life. Harry Kane.
What’s interesting is that after coming to Bayswater Chinese, Harry Kane began to grow.
After growing taller, the whole person also loses weight.
Yang Cheng was not involved in the whole thing from beginning to end.
He didn't even ask about Harry Kane, he just mentioned it while watching Harry Kane train.
“This kid plays very smart and has good skills with his feet. He must be trained well.”
The same situation still happened today.
The youth training academy began recruiting players for the first time, with hundreds of applicants.
A large part of them came here because of their reputation.
The reasons are also varied.
For example, Yang Cheng found a guy named Luke Shaw from the list he got from scouting director Gary Worthington.
The date of birth is July 12, 1995.
Right.
This Luke Shaw is not yet 10 years old and has been receiving youth training at Southampton since 2003.
Why did you come to Bayswater Chinese to sign up?
Because his home is in Kingston upon Thames, southwest of London.
The distance from his home to Southampton is quite long.
In the past, he and his family felt that there were no excellent youth training schools in southwest London, and Arsenal in the north was too far away, so they went to Southampton.
But now, the Bayswater Chinese have broken into the Premier League and are investing so heavily in youth training.
The most important thing is that the Bayswater Chinese development coach Matt Crocker is a well-known coach in the Southampton youth training.
So, they decided to come to Bayswater Chinese to receive youth training.
It’s close to home.
The other one is Raheem Sterling.
December 8, 1994.
That’s right too.
This guy is more interesting.
He lives in Brent, and both his home and school are very close to the Chinese training base in Bayswater.
In the past, he had to go to Queens Park Rangers to receive youth training.
What now?
He felt that the Bayswater Chinese were better and stronger.
Because when he was a caddy, he saw with his own eyes the Bayswater Chinese crushing the Queens Park Rangers.
So, he took the initiative to sign up.
In addition to them, there are more than a dozen others, of different ages, who are all youth training students of other professional clubs.
They are all around 10 years old. They want to "change jobs", and the Chinese people in Bayswater will naturally not refuse.
However, when Yang Cheng looked around, he saw that Luke Shaw and Sterling were among the familiar names.
The genius of the future British Empire.
He was looking forward to it so much.
Greater London has such a large population. If the Bayswater Chinese can expand their youth training and create their own youth training brand to attract more outstanding talents, there will definitely be great potential.
...
Yang Cheng stayed at the Brent training base all afternoon. When night fell, he returned to the north gate of Hyde Park with Xia Qing and Adam Crozier.
Before leaving, Yang Cheng encouraged Dan Ashwarton and others to make persistent efforts.
“We are going to turn the Chinese youth training in Bayswater into the most dazzling business card!”
On the car back to London, Yang Cheng received Jonathan Ba Nate's call.
Southampton agreed.
For 3 million pounds, Yang Cheng packaged two 16-year-old players Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott.
This is also the highest transfer fee in the history of Bayswater Chinese.
In 2003 and 2004, when the team was in English League Two and the English Championship, Yang Cheng's highest transfer fee was 1 million pounds.
Now in the Premier League, Yang Cheng is finally showing off.
Not only did the two transactions of Leighton Baines and Yaya Toure cost 2 million pounds, but they also packaged two teenagers for 3 million pounds.
“Am I a poor man suddenly getting rich?” Yang Cheng laughed at himself.
Xia Qing shook her head and said nothing with a smile.
She really wanted to remind Yang Cheng that you seem to have made more than 20 million pounds by selling people.
Although it is an installment plan, the down payment is quite large.
She didn't know why, but she always believed that the money Yang Cheng spent would not be lost.
Of course Yang Cheng doesn’t feel any loss.
Even, he was very emotional.
Goalkeepers: Neuer, Dani Coney;
Defense: Koscielny, Jose Font, Skrtel, Piszczek, Leyton ·Baines, Roger Johnson, Danny Collins and Chimbunda;
Midfielder: Modric, Lars Diarra, Leon Andreasen, Gerhan Inle, Matuidi and Yaya Toure;
Forward: Li Berry, Lambert, Ashley Young, Aaron Lennon and Dzeko.
There are also two young players, Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott. Yang Cheng plans to stay in the first team and train them himself.
At that time, they can participate in the reserve league and there will be no shortage of competition opportunities.
As a result, the Bayswater Chinese first team this season has reached 23 people.
According to his previous calculations, the average age is around 21 years old.
Relatively speaking, those who can achieve more stable results are those who are around 25 years old on average.
But young teams also have the benefits of young teams.
What's more, Yang Cheng has no intention of putting too much performance pressure on the team for the time being.
If nothing else, with this lineup, if they were 3 years older, they might be able to compete with Chelsea.
But now?
There is definitely no way.
Chelsea has been very dominant in the last two seasons.
No matter how arrogant Yang Cheng is, he doesn’t think he can compete with Chelsea in the league.
It’s hard to say about the cup competition.
By the way, the Premier League schedule for the 2005/06 season is out.
The situation for the Chinese in Bayswater is not ideal.
In the first round of the league, Chelsea will be played at home.
In the last round of the league finale, Arsenal played at Highbury Stadium.
In other words, the last game at Highbury Stadium was when the Bayswater Chinese played Arsenal.
Yang Cheng said...
It’s a lot of pressure!
......
"It's a pity for us this year."
Back at the North Gate of Hyde Park, Yang Cheng took Xia Qing and Adam Crozier to have dinner together .
The CEO who had just taken office suddenly sighed with emotion.
Yang Cheng knew what he was regretting.
In the summer of 2005, all the major European football clubs set out to Asia and North America with great fanfare.
Among them, Everton, Manchester City and Bolton will participate in a Premier League invitational tournament in Bangkok, Thailand, to compete against the Thai national team.
Manchester City and Everton will also go to China, Japan and South Korea.
Tottenham Hotspur will also travel to Asia and play a friendly match with Boca Juniors from Argentina in North Korea.
Sunderland, who are also newly promoted, decided to go to North America early and have already booked several warm-up matches against Canada's Vancouver Whitecaps.
Another newly promoted team, West Ham United, is preparing to go to the Nordic region for a round of tours.
Not to mention the Big4 in front of them, they have already booked overseas training camps and warm-up matches, all for commercial development.
This kind of cross-continental business competition is really not about participating, you can participate immediately.
It requires a period of preparation.
After Adam Crozier took office, he also tried to travel around Asia or North America, even if he looked familiar.
The problem is, there is no opponent.
This kind of warm-up match requires contacting in advance.
If nothing else, the visas for players and coaches will take a while.
This summer, the schedule of Chinese people in Bayswater is also very intensive.
First, I trained at the club for two weeks, mainly for physical training.
In the final stage of physical reserve, Yang Cheng arranged 2 warm-up games, both of which were in nearby away games.
Brentford and Southampton.
After playing these two warm-up games, the team set off for Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to play one game with Feyenoord, then to Germany to play Dortmund, and then to France to play Lille before returning to London.
At the end of July and beginning of August, Inter Milan will have a tour of England, including a game with the Bayswater Chinese.
Finally, in early August, we played a game against Queens Park Rangers.
This was requested by Queens Park Rangers.
This British Championship team still seems unwilling to admit that the gap between itself and the Bayswater Chinese has widened.
Yang Cheng arranges such a schedule. In addition to local teams, there are also many European teams.
Because the Bayswater Chinese will play in the UEFA Cup in the new season.
Yang Cheng hopes that these young players in the team can become familiar with the football styles of European countries in advance.
As for missing Asia and North America...
"It's okay. The development of the commercial market does not mean that whoever gets the first one will eat it up in one bite. This is a long-term process."
Yang Cheng laughed nonchalantly.
"I personally feel that in North America, we are still not working hard."
"Yes, we lack attractive stars." Adam Crozier said.
Francis Ribery is considered a big name in the Bayswater Chinese team. In order to keep him, Yang Cheng gave him a contract with a weekly salary of 6,000 pounds.
Compared with the wealthy teams, this is of course nothing.
But this is the limit for the Bayswater Chinese.
But Ribery can't even make it to the French national team.
Running to North America like this, what are you promoting?
I guess I can’t even make waves.
“So, I plan to take a trip to Asia, especially China, after I finish the things at hand.”
Adam Crozier gave Yang Cheng an analysis current situation.
North America currently does not have enough weight, and the Middle East is underdeveloped. Rich sponsors like Emirates Airlines simply do not look down on the current Bayswater Chinese.
On the contrary, it is in Asia, especially China.
Yang Cheng and the Yang family run a Premier League team, which in itself is the most attractive aspect.
In addition, the Premier League is very influential in Asia.
What Adam Crozier means is to explore the road first, get a feel for the situation, and then come back to formulate a detailed business promotion strategy.
"Next year is the World Cup in Germany. Football enthusiasm around the world will be very high. Other teams, especially wealthy teams, will be affected by the participation of the national football team in the World Cup."
"As far as the information I have currently, the Premier League Big 4 There are no plans to go to Asia at the moment, this is our opportunity!”
“Okay, come up with a plan as soon as possible”
Yang Cheng made the decision on the spot.
In his previous life, he had experienced many pre-season overseas training camps. He knew how to avoid certain situations and how to minimize the impact on the team's training and preparations.
More importantly, at present, it is difficult for the Bayswater Chinese to increase their game-day income, and the income from broadcast rights is not stable, so they can only make a fuss about commercial income.
This is also the long-term strategy for club management.
Xia Qing sat aside, listening silently, thoughtfully.
