We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 443: Apocalypse Football Empire Sichuan Croatia American Division
"Dembele, I have only told you this news. Don't tell anyone else, understand? If you tell them, I will never be able to coach you." He Tianqi threatened Dembele at the end of the call.

Dembele on the other end of the phone was extremely excited.

In order to express his excitement, he spent 68 euros to buy a name-changing card and changed his ID in the football game to "Caen King".

He believes that in a few years, the "Knifeman" Caen team will shock the world of football, just like the "Pink Eagle" Palermo did back then!

However, Dembele soon encountered competition.

Caen bought Arsenal winger Gnabry for 1.5 million euros.

This player played for Arsenal's first team four times in the 2012-2013 season. He played times for Arsenal's second team, scoring three goals and providing two assists.

In the 2013-2014 season, he made further progress, playing times for the first team, scoring one goal and providing two assists, and playing five times for the second team, scoring six goals and providing two assists.

Unfortunately, he suffered a serious knee injury last season and did not play for the first team.

Now that he has recovered from a serious illness, he has lost his place in Arsenal.

The Gunners are interested in loaning him to West Bromwich Albion.

As a result, Caen issued a purchase invitation and a commitment to recruit first-team key players.

Arsenal and Gnabry both agreed to the deal.

A price of 1.5 million euros is a big deal in Ligue 2.

Caen suddenly became the "Paris Saint-Germain" and "Monaco" of the French Ligue 2.

In one word, local tyrant!
Caen then continued to recruit players, bringing in their substitute Frenkie de Jong from Tilburg Willem II in the Netherlands.

This player is too sticky to the ball and has never been liked by the head coach.

Therefore, its strength is greatly underestimated.

Dutch giants Ajax also took a fancy to the player, but on the one hand they were only willing to pay 500,000 euros.

On the other hand, the team is full of talents. After buying De Jong, they will also need to loan De Jong back to Tilburg Willem II for half a year to a year.

Not to mention guaranteeing a place in the main team, even a place in the first team is not guaranteed.

In comparison, although Caen is only a French Ligue 2 team, it seems to have financial support and has a good reputation this year.

Players who transfer there can also gain a certain amount of exposure.

And they are willing to give De Jong a starting position.

The two clubs then continued to argue, and De Jong eventually transferred to Caen for 800,000 euros.

But Caen's last deal was a failure.

Perhaps the previous high-priced signings made the club unable to hold on, so they introduced a goalkeeper who was eliminated by the French French third team Cherbourg.

The goalkeeper was dropped by the team last summer and has not been able to find another job.

The gap lasted for a year.

His name is Edouard Mendy.

Mendy's good friend Ted Lavie heard that there was a vacant position in Marseille B team, so he took active measures to make sure he had a chance to play.

As a result, before Marseille responded, Caen’s invitation came instead.

French Ligue 2 team, professional contract, it's five years at the beginning. Although the salary is just the normal salary of French Ligue 2 players, compared with Mendy's previous salary, it can be said that he has become rich!

Mendy signed on the spot.

Fuck Marseille B team.

In this way, Caen set sail in the French Ligue 2.

Their friendly match was shockingly arranged in China, against Chinese Super League giants Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao and other teams.

The key is that this group of Caen players gained exposure in China and were quite popular.

Unfortunately, Dembele was too nervous and made consecutive mistakes when he was juggling the ball for the fans before the game, which was very clumsy.

So much so that Chinese fans began to doubt whether Caen was an amateur team.

But as soon as the friendly match started, Dembele immediately became the most threatening player on Caen's side, even more eye-catching than Gnabry on the other side.

In the final three warm-up matches, Caen had one draw, one win and one loss, which is considered good.

Perhaps no one could have imagined the head coach who would lead the team.

That is former Palermo legendary player Fabio Grosso.

He retired in 2012 and subsequently signed up for a new coaching course jointly organized by UEFA and the Italian Football Federation at the national team base in Corviciano.

The training was led by Zamparini, and top coaches such as He Tianqi, Camignani, and Guardiola came to give lectures.

It is known as the Italian Masterclass.

In July 2013, Grosso passed the coaching qualification examination together with Cannavaro, Filippo Inzaghi, Materazzi, Massimo Oddo, Zambrotta and others.

He then coached Juventus' youth training team.

But his coaching results have been terrible.

This summer, Juventus officially persuaded him to retire.

Fortunately, He Tianqi brought Grosso an invitation to coach Caen, and Grosso was grateful.

However, his biggest task in Caen is to convey He Tianqi's tactics to Caen's players through text and animation versions.

It plays the same role as Camignani.

……

As for Villa, their signings this season have been relatively methodical.

They gave up recruiting young players and instead strengthened the team with several veteran substitutes with good strength.

The main purpose is to maintain the stability of the team.

At the same time, it also means that the team's renewal speed will begin to slow down.

This attitude has given the English Football Association and European teams some sense of security.

Because if Villa continues to swallow up young players and spit out superstars, all the big money in the football world will be earned by your club. Do you think others will turn the table?

And at this stage, any little demon that Vera takes a fancy to will be snatched away by someone else.

Even many strong teams directly compete for the main force status.

He Tianqi then made preparations for his reincarnation and arranged for Caen in the French Ligue 2.

His time in England was running out.

But his next stage is not France, but... the whole world!

In early August, Villa defeated Arsenal 3-2 to win the Community Shield.

Lewandowski scored a hat trick and was named the best player of the match.

But after the game, He Tianqi flew to China immediately and personally participated in and completed the acquisition of a team in the Chinese Football League B, which was a Sichuan team and was later renamed "Sichuan Tianqi Football Club."

The team subsequently brought in a large number of high-quality players.

These players all have experience in youth training in Italy, and some have even played for Serie A giants such as Palermo and AC Milan.

There are also players who have experience in youth training in Spain.

The team also brought in two foreign players from Alaves who were unable to play.

The price is so low that compared to the 300 to 400 million euros that Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao spends on signings, these hundreds of thousands of euros are equivalent to nothing.

But the effect... not to mention dimensionality reduction attack, at least it is a low-level weapon.

Sichuan Tianqi Football Club has formulated a four-year plan to be promoted to the Chinese Super League.

Not only that, the Apocalypse Knights Group also inspects different teams in many countries on all continents around the world.

Soon, the second team was established.

This time it's a Croatian team.

Apocalypse Knight Group and Modric "jointly invested" to buy Croatian Zadar Football Club, a club in Modric's hometown.

Since it is a joint venture, there is no special title, but the Apocalypse Knight Group is the absolute controlling party. Modric's shares were given to him by He Tianqi.

The team currently competes in the third-tier Croatian domestic league.

The team plans to be promoted to the Croatian top league within three years.

The reason why the pace is faster than that of Sichuan Tianqi Football Club is because there are too many uncertainties in domestic football.

Don’t even mention the Football Association, the referee or something like that that is making things difficult for you.

The key is that several players inside are in collusion with each other, controlling the tempo and the score. Who can stand it?

Therefore, the most stringent thing that Sichuan Tianqi Football Club does is the recruitment of players, and it is determined to eliminate experienced domestic coaches and players.

There is a strict review system for players' performance, especially mistakes.

If it is determined to be a deliberate mistake, the player’s contract will be terminated immediately and he will be unilaterally and permanently banned within the Apocalypse Football Group.

For example, some goalkeepers make outrageous attacks, then deliberately slip, and fall down again after getting up, as if they can't catch up with the football.

A fake look.

That was a deliberate performance to score a goal.

Those who cannot see are not blind in their eyes, but blind in their hearts.

To this end, Sichuan Tianqi Football Club also invited several senior acting teachers to form a jury to help mainland actors find re-employment.

Actors are the best way to see actors.

It may sound abstract, but what the Chinese football regulatory system needs most is acting skills.

……

At the end of August, the European Super Cup.

Villa will face Sevilla again.

The former won four consecutive Champions League titles, while the latter won two consecutive Europa League titles.

They are all kings of European wars.

Sevilla had lost in the previous few encounters.

This time is no exception.

Lewandowski scored twice and De Bruyne scored two goals and two assists.

Villa beat Sevilla 5-1.

The Pole is like a tiger out of the cage this season, unstoppable.

But Modric and De Bruyne smiled at each other.

Not out of the cage.

But it’s out of the market.

This year, it's Lewandowski's turn anyway.

But similarly, after this year's European Super Cup, the biggest news was not Lewandowski's five goals in two games, but the news from the United States.

MLS confirmed that Beckham exercised his option a year ago to buy an expansion team for $25 million.

This was stipulated in the contract when he signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Originally, Beckham was going to have to wait until 2018 to fully establish his "Miami International".

But now, Beckham can lead this team as early as next year.

Because he had the support of He Tianqi.

The team's name remains Miami International, unchanged.

The team will be able to benefit from He Tianqi's technical and tactical planning and will also belong to the Tianqi Football Group, but the team is not the largest.

To make money in the United States, you have to cut more meat and let the families of those congressmen participate.

Unlike in Europe, as long as you have strong professional capabilities, you can be a sole proprietor.

In addition, Apocalypse Football Group is also investigating some leagues in Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, Japan and other countries, and will continue to acquire teams.

He Tianqi has been laying the foundation for twelve years, a complete cycle.

Now we have enough funds, football resources, connections, influence, etc.

To accomplish this.

Apart from him, any other person or group would not only have to spend more time, but also have to support dozens or hundreds of times more funds to build such a huge football empire.

The UAE's City Group and the Red Bull Sports Empire, etc., no matter how early or late they started, are now moving slower than He Tianqi.

This football empire has many meanings.

As for He Tianqi himself, he hopes to see one day the quarterfinals or semi-finals of the Champions League will all be teams from the Tianqi Football Group.

That vigorous "civil war" will inevitably leave a strong mark in the world of football.

From the perspective of capital operation, only by establishing such a complete football empire system can the maximum benefits be achieved.

A very simple question.

Why has Villa's renewal and replacement suddenly accelerated in recent years?
Because the team has won many championships in a row, even substitute players can get bonuses and become hot commodities in the transfer market.

So if you can’t dig up the main players, you can dig up the substitutes.

In the past, we dug one or two, but now we dig three or four at a time.

Even if most of the main players can resist the temptation, the team will still collapse if all the rotation players are poached.

This is a problem that no wealthy family can solve.

Even if you force important rotation players to stay, their relationship with the main players will inevitably have problems due to their positions.

If the team does not have enough combat power reserves, problems will arise in the locker room sooner or later.

Looking back at football in recent decades, there is no solution to this problem.

But Football Empire is the optimal solution at present.

If Villa is the crown of the Apocalypse Football Empire, then except for a few main players who are determined to leave, the rest of the main players can stay.

Because this is the strongest club in the world.

Villa's rotation players can go to second-tier teams such as Palermo and Alaves which also have Champions League seats.

If he succeeds in overcoming the difficulties and becomes a superstar, he can return to Villa to become a main player.

Just in time to take over.

The probability of him staying in Villa and taking over is much higher, because it is difficult for a seedling under a big tree to grow into a big tree.

This back and forth will take at least three to five years, and many players’ peak period is during these few years, which is the best time for renewal.

Those who cannot even play in the rotation, including some young players with potential, can compete in leagues of various countries, using technology to alleviate poverty while expanding the influence of their teams in the local area.

At the same time, they use this influence to dig out some talented players and send them to Villa, Alaves, Palermo and even Caen in the future.

European football has a very complete system.

In the final analysis, what matters is resources, that is, football talent.

A country like China, which has enough talent but cannot play well, is completely an outlier in the world of football. It is very abnormal and there are obviously too many external forces (blocking the ball) involved.

When the tentacles of the apocalyptic football empire spread all over the world, no team will be able to shake Villa's dominance.

If people, UEFA and FIFA are tired of Villa's solo dance, then Alaves, Palermo and even Caen in the future can step forward.

Kill the old and become the new king!
Then the dynasty was revived and the cycle repeated itself.

Such a script can at least ensure that fans will not feel bored within half a century.

After all, local football fans have been watching the Bundesliga's dominance, La Liga's two dragons playing with a pearl, and Serie A's three strong teams competing for supremacy for a hundred years.

Not tiring at all.
