I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 279: No. in the world! The Germans are broken! We are the most professional when playing against Bayern! [Subscribe]

Yang Cheng's single-family villa located west of Holland Park has two courtyards, one in front and one in the back, one small and one large.

The front yard is more like an entrance garden, while the backyard is a private space.

The backyard is completely separated from the neighbors' houses by walls and trees, ensuring privacy and quietness.

Yang Cheng and Xia Qing are both very busy at work, and both of them are the type who cannot calm down and focus on gardening, so the garden is taken care of by a professional gardening company.

Just recently, Xia Qing saw a netizen posting photos of his family’s yard, which was full of various flowers and plants.

Among them, hydrangeas are the ones that make Xia Qing's girlish heart burst the most.

This kind of hydrangea is also grown by many people in London, which is not surprising, and the climate in the UK is indeed very suitable.

So she asked a landscaping company to plant a row of them in her backyard.

He said he wanted to build the courtyard of his dreams!
Now she waters the hydrangeas herself every day when she gets home from get off work or before leaving home in the morning.

In April and May, hydrangeas begin to bloom. The round hydrangeas, either pink or blue-purple, compete with each other in beauty, making the courtyard lively.

In Xia Qing's words: No woman can resist the temptation of hydrangea!

Well, Xia Qing’s only complaint about hydrangeas is that watering them is too troublesome!

Watering every day?
No, it has to be done twice a day, morning and night.

Yang Cheng asked the gardening company to install an automatic watering device, but Xia Qing didn't use it.

She said that she would feel more fulfilled if she did it herself.

Women are full of contradictions.

Yang Cheng was sitting in his yard at this moment, watching Xia Qing watering the plants while complaining about how hydrangeas can drink so much water. How can they drink so much water every day?
Tucao returns to Tucao.

In the yard, there is a row of flowers planted around the wall, and the flowers are in full bloom, which is really beautiful.

"I heard that you drank with Guardiola yesterday?"

After watering the plants, Xia Qing returned to the chair next to Yang Cheng and sat down. She stretched lazily, as if she had just done a lot of farm work. There was a kind of innocence and cuteness in her expression that was rarely seen on ordinary days.

Yang Cheng poured her a glass of water and said, "We met in the box and chatted for a while. He is coming to coach Manchester City."

"Oh." Xia Qing was not surprised.

After she finished drinking the water, she asked again, "What about Messi?"

"I think he is digging. I didn't ask him much, but he was thinking about our Toni Kroos and Thiago Silva."

"What?" Xia Qing frowned.

Having managed the finances of Bayswater Chinese over the years, she knew all too well what this meant.

"That's normal. These two players are the best passers in their respective positions in world football today. Guardiola's vision is still very accurate."

"Then what do we do?"

"What should we do?" Yang Cheng snorted and laughed, "They have to be able to dig it out."

"We still have to be careful, Manchester City's wages are really outrageous!" Xia Qing was still worried.

Messi can be offered a weekly salary of 35 pounds.

What concept?
Regardless of the monetary unit, this is the highest salary in the world!

When you factor in the exchange rate between the pound and the euro, it’s simply outrageous!
And this is just what came out of the media. If it were really implemented, it might be even higher.

Over the years, Xia Qing often thinks back to the summer of 2008.

At that time, Yang Cheng called her, Adam Crozier and others to a meeting and talked about the Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition of Manchester City.

There is a sentence from Yang Cheng that Xia Qing still remembers vividly.

"From now on, the way European football is played will begin to change!"

At that time, no one thought anything was wrong.

But now looking back, it has really changed!

It's getting really outrageous!

All traditional clubs, whether they are Manchester United, Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Inter Milan, although they are different, are actually very restrained.

Deep down, I still live within my means!
Therefore, UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act also revolves around this point.

But Manchester City’s style of play is clearly different.

They don't care about losses at all.

With the support of a huge financial group worth hundreds of billions, what does a small loss every year mean to them?
As long as they are given a clear direction, all resources within the group will be piled on it, invested without regard for returns, year after year, and the results are really scary!

"While we were drinking, he asked me a question."

"what is the problem?"

"How to solve the problem of players' motivation in the game?" Yang Cheng laughed.

He also didn't expect that Guardiola would discuss such profound issues with him.

But this is indeed an inevitable problem that all successful teams in the world will face.

Either the players are old or they have already achieved success.

All in all, after a certain stage, players will face this problem to a greater or lesser extent.

Even a big team will encounter the same problem.

In theory, everyone knows that the most perfect team strategy is a combination of old, middle-aged and young people.

But in practice, which team can really do it and do it for a long time?
Right?

Just like the Bayswater Chinese, it seems like there is a good combination of old, middle-aged and young people now, right?
But what next?
Pepe is 30 years old, Jose Fonte is 29, Thiago Silva is 28, Piszczek is 27, and Marcelo is 25.

This is a defensive line that has made great contributions to the Chinese in Bayswater!

After Kompany left the team, although Stones and Harry Maguire were added this season, the performance of these two players is not as good as Kompany, and the gap is huge.

Jose Fonte was indeed not enough for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Bayswater Chinese have conceded 24 goals so far this season.

Compared to other competitors, it’s not bad, but what about compared to last season?

The Chinese at Bayswater will encounter all the problems that all teams will encounter, and none of them will be missed.

How to solve the problem of players’ motivation after they have achieved success?

Strictly speaking, there is really no good way.

Everything has two approaches: internal and external.

The so-called "li" means relying on the coach and the team's internal management, as well as the players' own qualities.

At that time, many people wondered why Yang Cheng gave the captain's armband to Modric so early?
A few years have passed, and Modric has won many championships in Bayswater Chinese, but has he slacked off?
No!

This guy is an old monster who can play for Real Madrid until he is 40 years old!
Without strong self-discipline, it would be impossible to do this.

Behind Modric's self-discipline is the hardships he has experienced since childhood.

This made him especially cherish everything he has now, and also forced him to fight to his limits.

He will not consider retiring until he can no longer play.

C Ronaldo is also this type of player.

Because Ronaldo also suffered a lot of hardship and torture when he was young, especially when he left his hometown at such a young age to play football in Lisbon and was bullied, but he managed to survive until now.

Childhood suffering can shape a person's character!

Modric and Ronaldo are both of this type.

So does Messi.

Toni Kroos is of a different type.

He also has an extremely strong heart. He knows exactly what he wants, has very detailed plans for everything, and he is very ambitious.

He will not allow himself to be inferior to others.

This is also why, in Yang Cheng’s previous life, Toni Kroos, who was in good shape, suddenly decided to retire.

Because he couldn't accept himself getting older and older, and he couldn't accept that the old self was not as good as others on the court.

So, when he came down from the peak of his career and when he realized that it was difficult for him to maintain his competitive state for a long time, he decided to retire.

In fact, there are many players like Toni Kroos who retired early.

There are quite a few in Germany, including Zidane.

He retired after leading the French team to the World Cup runner-up.

Of course, these are a minority.

Although most players have stronger self-discipline than ordinary people, they will inevitably encounter problems with motivation in the game.

For example, Klopp's Dortmund.

After a peak period, the Bumblebee's condition quickly declined.

The reason is that Klopp's training and tactics are too hard for the players to sustain.

When they were still unknown, in order to become famous and successful, they were of course willing to endure hardships and accept such devilish training and competitions.

But when they become successful, will he still be able to do this?
Or, how much more can be done?

This is a problem of human nature!
In addition to internal solutions, there are also external solutions.

That’s what Yang Cheng said before, selling people!
Constantly inject fresh blood into a team and bring fresh stimulation.

For every other European team, this is a high-stakes business.

Because transfer itself is extremely risky.

The closer you are to top teams and top players, the greater the risk.

But this is not a difficult task for Yang Cheng.

At least until 2024, that is.

What really needs to be worried about is who to sell and who to keep?
"Pepe, Thiago Silva, Toni Kroos and Modric cannot be sold!"

These players were all played by Yang Cheng in his previous life until he was very old, and they are still in very good shape.

"Gareth Bale and Walcott are both local stars and cannot be sold!"

"Lewandowski is the biggest star in our team right now, and we must do our best to keep him!"

After Yang Cheng went through the main lineup from beginning to end, he found that none of them seemed to be able to be sold.

It's Lewandowski.

After another two years, when Harry Kane has fully matured, maybe we can consider selling him.

But now, we must try our best to keep it.

Otherwise, the offensive power of the striker will definitely be affected.

"We still need to continue to train local players such as Luke Shaw, Sterling, Aaron Ramsey, Harry Maguire and John Stones. This is the foundation of our Bayswater Chinese!"

All top teams need to be rooted in their local area.

In the top five European leagues, high-quality local players have always been a scarce commodity.

This is especially true in the UK.

"Pogba, De Bruyne and others still need to be cultivated."

Yang Cheng is very satisfied with the current talent pool of Chinese people in Bayswater.

Definitely number one in the world!

But in the future, things like poaching by Manchester City will definitely become more and more frequent.

There is no way. With the entry of major financial groups, it is hard to avoid the situation where there are too many people and too little porridge!

……

Both the Premier League and the Bundesliga ended their schedules in mid-May.

The last round of the Bundesliga is on May 5th, and the last round of the Premier League is on the 18th, just one day apart.

But both teams have already won the league championship in advance.

In addition, Bayern Munich also reached the German Cup final, facing Stuttgart.

If Bayern can win the Champions League, achieving the treble this season will no longer be a dream.

On the contrary, Bayswater Chinese, after winning the treble for two consecutive seasons, suffered a complete defeat in domestic cup competitions this season.

In this regard, whether it is Yang Cheng, the media, or the fans, they all take it very easy.

The sale of players such as Di Maria and Kompany has had a really big impact on the Chinese in Bayswater.

After winning the championship ahead of schedule, in the last round, Yang Cheng made it clear early on that the team would play against Liverpool with an all-substitute lineup.

This also means giving young players in the team more opportunities to practice in games.

The day after playing Newcastle at home, the team conducted recovery training.

After the training session on the morning of the third day, Yang Cheng called a meeting of the coaching staff.

The focus is to discuss the match against Bayern Munich on the 25th.

How should the team make good use of the next 10 days?
As early as Yang Cheng's previous life, he had always believed that Bayern's invitation to Guardiola to coach was like a beautiful accident.

Because from the very beginning, the Germans were not suitable for the passing and controlling route.

Bayern under the coaching of Heynckes is the most suitable for the Germans.

Later, Bayern won the Champions League again, and Flick also adopted this tactical style of play.

This is definitely no accident.

After the failure of the 2011/12 season, Heynckes learned from his mistakes last summer.

Every major signing made by Bayern in the transfer market has played a key role.

The first is Brazilian central defender Dante.

Joining Bayern at the age of 29 is not easy.

In his previous life, Yang Cheng was called a tragic central defender by many fans. He was tall and had good footwork. He could pass the ball and initiate attacks, but most importantly, he was also good at long passes.

After Badstuber was seriously injured in the middle of the season and bid farewell to this season, Bayern's defense currently relies on veterans Van Buyten and Dante.

The second is the center forward Mandzukic.

Needless to say, this player's greatest advantage is his tactical role.

Traditionally, center forwards have been limited by physics and have not been good at running.

Everyone knows this.

But Mandzukic is an exception.

As a center forward, he has very strong running ability, which is a nightmare for all defenders.

Finally, there are the Swiss Messi and Shaqiri.

This talented player has been favored by many teams after becoming famous in the Champions League last season.

In the end, Bayern, who was close to the water and had the upper hand, got there first.

Although Shaqiri's performance has been mixed and not stable since joining Bayern this season, he is only 22 years old, which makes everyone full of expectations for him.

It is worth mentioning that in Yang Cheng’s previous life, Shaqiri’s resume at Bayern was not successful.

But Robben is currently at Manchester United, so Shaqiri is highly valued by Heynckes at Bayern.

The three signings have all successfully become the main players and have made very significant contributions.

This also confirmed for everyone once again that Bayern’s top management really understands football.

But Bayern's starting lineup is basically the same.

Goalkeeper: Neuer;

Defense: Alaba, Dante, Van Buyten and Lahm;
Midfield: Gustavo and Schweinsteiger form a double defensive midfielder, with Ribery, Thomas Muller and Shaqiri in front;

Forward: Mandzukic.

"If there are no injuries or accidents in the league this weekend, this should be Bayern's starting lineup."

At an internal meeting of the coaching staff, Yang Cheng put forward his own speculation on Heynckes' starting lineup.

4231, this is Heynckes's ironclad formation.

Many people say that Heynckes' tactics are very similar to Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese.

When defending, the team's overall formation will shrink quickly to seize favorable space; when attacking, the formation will be quickly expanded to quickly create a time difference in the transition from offense to defense.

Klopp's Dortmund basically uses the same style of play.

But in fact, the three teams are different.

For example, Klopp's team played very aggressively and the team pressed forward as a whole.

The advantage of this style of play is that sometimes they can really confuse their opponents right from the start.

But once they are dragged down by their opponents or even constantly consumed, in the second half, especially after 60 minutes, their physical strength can no longer support them to adopt such a style of play, and their threat is greatly reduced.

The final result was that he was killed by the other party.

In comparison, Heynckes' Bayern pays more attention to the balance between offense and defense than Klopp, is not as aggressive, and the overall performance is naturally more stable.

But since Bayern's two central defenders, Dante and Van Buyten, are both tall central defenders, they turn slowly, are not flexible, and are also old, Bayern usually defends more tightly and retreats further back when necessary.

The Chinese in Bayswater are very different from the two Bundesliga teams.

Yang Cheng's team is more fluent in passing and cutting, their techniques are more delicate, and they are faster and more impactful.

And the creativity and control ability of the midfield are also stronger.

Overall, the three teams look similar in many ways, but are actually very different.

For example, there is a very interesting similarity between the two parties.

Bayern's average possession rate in the Bundesliga is 62%, almost the same as Bayswater Chinese.

The difference is that in the Champions League, the Chinese in Bayswater can still maintain around 6%, with an average of 59.8%.

But Bayern Munich only has 53%.

In other words, when they were bullying their weaker opponents in the Bundesliga, they had an advantage in ball possession, but when they got to the Champions League, their opponents became stronger and they began to lose control of the ball.

"Therefore, the initiative of this game will definitely be in our hands!" Yang Cheng judged very confidently.

"For us, the two most important things now are, first, how to break through Bayern's goal, and second, how to stop Bayern's counterattack."

Yang Cheng used a declarative tone rather than a questioning tone.

These are two different things.

The advantages of the Chinese in Bayswater are what I just mentioned, passing, cutting, technology and the personal abilities of the players.

Bayern's two central defenders are very interesting, their pass success rate is 91%.

In terms of the number of long passes, Van Buyten averaged 7.1 long passes per game with a success rate of 77%.

Dante averages 8.2 long passes per game with an 81% success rate.

But they are not the highest yet.

The player with the most long passes in Bayern is Schweinsteiger.

The Piglet averages 9.2 long passes per game, with a success rate of 80%.

Neuer averages 7 long passes per game, while Lahm averages 5.4 long passes per game.

These five players have the most long passes in Bayern.

Note that this is average data per game.

In other words, in Bayern's tactical system, long passes are very important means.

The players who receive the long passes are basically the three attackers in the frontcourt.

Two wingers on the left and right and a center forward.

In the Bayern team this season, the reason why local center forward Gomez lost to Mandzukic in the competition was not because of his scoring ability, but because of his ability to compete in the header.

Gomez averages 0.5 successful headers per game. Doesn't that seem very different from his burly figure and the impression of a traditional center forward?

Mandzukic successfully wins 2.4 headers per game.

When Yang Cheng saw this data, he couldn't help but think of Andy Carroll.

This kid averages 9 successful headers per game.

By comparing, you can clearly see how good this kid is as a center forward.

Giroud has an average of 3.9 successful aerial duels per game this season.

Lewandowski has 4.4 and Gareth Bale has 1.7.

From these data, we can clearly see the characteristics and abilities of Bayern Munich's strikers.

"Facing a balanced team like Bayern Munich, we don't have many tricks."

Yang Cheng's words were unanimously recognized by everyone present.

If there was a way to cheat, Bayern would not have made it to the Champions League final.

"So, in the next period of time, we have to focus on practicing how to quickly pass the ball to avoid Bayern's first wave of counterattacks when the ball is intercepted in our own half."

this point is very important.

Mandzukic's running ability is much stronger than Lewandowski's, and his willingness to defend is also stronger.

Even Ribery has actively participated in counter-attacks this season.

This means that once Bayern Munich loses the ball in the frontcourt, they will put in a lot of effort to counterattack.

This is very similar to Dortmund.

But after failing to grab the ball in the frontcourt, Bayern will quickly retreat and take up defensive position.

There will be a time lag in between.

The Chinese in Bayswater want to study how to make good use of this time difference.

The method for fast break is long pass.

"So, I can tell you with certainty that this will be a game that will be very exciting and full of pace."

"Because neither of us will adopt conservative tactics!"

"This will place very high demands on our players' attention, concentration, and execution under high pressure. Everyone must be in the best condition!"

The faster the pace, the greater the consumption and the lower the tolerance.

On the defensive side, Yang Cheng asked the team to focus on targeted defense in the future.

The biggest feature of Bayern is that Mandzukic will move to the side, and most of the time he will move to the left side. At this time, Thomas Muller will move forward from the middle of the 4231 in 3 and enter the front line.

Thomas Muller's off-ball movement is very smart and he has a strong scoring ability.

Therefore, in order to limit the movement and cooperation of Bayern's front players, the coaching staff will need to focus on arranging a series of targeted training.

For example, what the Chinese at Bayswater like to do most is to put together a lineup, simulate the opponent's tactics, and play offensive and defensive drills.

But in the early stage, more special training on the detailed level must be arranged first.

Over the past few years, Yang Cheng basically did not preside over training. He was only responsible for taking a high-level view and putting forward his own requirements.

The specific training programs, arrangements, and hosting are all left to the coaching team.

Especially in recent years, sports science departments have also been studying various training methods and programs.

In general, Yang Cheng is still very confident in the preparations of the Chinese team in Bayswater.

As he said in front of the players.

When playing against Bayern, we are the most professional!
……

On the afternoon of June 5th.

The last round of the Premier League in the 2012/13 season.

10 games kick off at the same time.

Bayswater Chinese will visit Anfield this round to challenge Liverpool away.

As Yang Cheng had said in the internal meeting before, he played this game with an all-substitute lineup.

Goalkeeper: Robert Green;

Defence: Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, John Stones and Kyle Walker;
Midfield: Javi Martinez drops back, with Aaron Ramsey and De Bruyne in the middle;

Forwards: Sterling, Giroud and Walcott.

It is clear from the deployment that the most important thing for Bayswater Chinese in this game is to train new players.

Compared with the Chinese in Bayswater, Liverpool is playing at home, so Mancini still sent out all his main players.

But what surprised everyone was that the home team played with all its main players, while the away team played with all substitutes. As a result, after the start of the game, it was the away team that took the lead.

Even in the 8th minute, Liverpool midfielder Mascherano received a yellow card.

However, after a period of attack at the beginning, the Bayswater Chinese, which was mainly composed of young players, failed to recover in time and conceded a goal in the 23rd minute.

But for most of the following time, the two teams played back and forth.

Especially after Liverpool scored.

It may be related to the Red Army's massive attack and the Bayswater Chinese's steady defense and counterattack, the double central defenders of Harry Maguire and John Stones actually performed well.

At least the double striker of Suarez and Sturridge failed to take advantage of them.

Liverpool attacked in front of the defense line several times, but was rejected every time.

This made Yang Cheng on the sidelines find it hard to believe.

As a loyal supporter of the British Empire, Brian Kidd shouted at Yang Cheng excitedly.

"See? These young players, as long as they are given opportunities, will improve very quickly."

"Defenders are honed by constantly making mistakes and being abused."

Yang Cheng really wanted to say, yes, yes, yes, you are right!
But I have to say that in this game, this tight defense line really made Yang Cheng look at it with new eyes.

Especially Harry Maguire, who was in command and had the demeanor of a general.

But Yang Cheng knew very well in his heart that the reason these guys were such scoundrels was not because they had no strength.

On the contrary, they are actually very capable.

But when you have high hopes for them, I'm sorry, they will immediately turn into scammers and make you suffer a bloody nose.

What’s speechless is that when you don’t have much hope or even expectations of them, they often bring you surprises.

This is how Yang Cheng feels at this moment!

Therefore, after seeing the players' performance on the field, Yang Cheng became more certain that this defensive line was really too bad!
In the end, Bayswater Chinese lost 0-1 to Liverpool away.

Manchester City also lost 2-3 to Norwich at home.

Manchester United drew 5-5 with West Bromwich Albion away from home.

Arsenal beat Newcastle 1-0 away.

Chelsea beat Reading 2-1 at home.

It can be said that the top three, who had no suspense, basically looked at the last game with a relaxed attitude.

But in the most brutal relegation battle, each team fought to the point of bloodshed.

For example, in the match between Newcastle and Arsenal, the Magpies tried their best, but ultimately lost to the Gunners 0-1 at home.

Sunderland also tried their best, but still lost 0-1 to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

After all 38 rounds of matches were played, Reading continued to be at the bottom and Wigan Athletic ranked 19th.

Newcastle lost to Sunderland by 1 point, ranked 18th and was relegated.

This is the second time Newcastle has been relegated to the Championship after being promoted to the Premier League in 2010.

In terms of goals, Lewandowski's goal tally finally stopped at 42 goals.

This is already the highest number of goals scored in a single season in Premier League history.

Alan Shearer before him only scored 34 goals.

The Polish center forward scored 8 goals in one go.

Whether it was the reigning emperor, the goal quadruple against Real Madrid, or the hat trick at Camp Nou, Lewandowski became famous and became the darling of football fans around the world.

Many people even began to say that the Polish center was the third person after Messi and Ronaldo.

Gareth Bale also scored 31 goals, setting a new career high.

In the Premier League scoring list, Chinese players from Bayswater ranked in the top two.

Lewandowski, in particular, is far ahead.

After Gareth Bale, Robin van Persie has only scored 26 goals.

Luis Suarez has 23 goals.

What makes many English fans feel sorry is that after Walcott scored 19 goals last season, his number of goals this season has dropped to 9 goals.

This is mainly related to his playing time.

Yang Cheng had previously explained to media reporters that before the start of the season, from training to the start of the league, Walcott was absent for a long time due to the European Cup and the Olympics.

During that period, Hazard performed very well.

In this case, the Belgians took the lead in the competition.

This resulted in Walcott's appearance order being ranked behind Hazard in the competition in the following seasons, especially in some important games, so his playing time and number of goals were sharply reduced.

But Yang Cheng also repeatedly emphasized, "In my mind, Walcott and Hazard have the same status. They are both very important members of the team!"

Although Walcott's number of goals has dropped sharply, his overall performance is not bad, especially in some of the games he played, the little tiger put in a convincing performance.

……

When the last round of the Premier League ended, the French Ligue 1 across the English Channel also ushered in its final round.

Ronald Koeman's Nice beat Ajaccio 2-0 away from home.

Paris Saint-Germain also beat Lorient 3-1 away from home.

After this round of Ligue 1, the final ranking is released.

Paris Saint-Germain won the championship two rounds in advance and is 7 points ahead of Nice.

Nice ranked second in Ligue 74 with points, securing qualification for next season's Champions League.

Marseille is ranked third in Ligue 71 with 3 points and has to participate in the preliminary qualifiers.

Although Nice finally finished second in Ligue 3, it successfully defeated Bordeaux 1- in the French Cup and won the French Cup.

This is still a fruitful season for Nice.

But the most important thing is that the new stadium, which took two years to build, has been basically completed and will be officially opened in August 2.

The Chinese players in Bayswater have officially received an invitation and will travel to Nice to play a warm-up match with the French Ligue 1 team to celebrate the opening of the new stadium.

According to data feedback from Nice, residents of Nice and surrounding towns are full of expectations for the new stadium. In addition, Nice has achieved very good results in the past few years.

Therefore, they are very confident that Nice's home games will be full in the coming season.

36178 seats, at least 3 people were seated.

However, Nice is not a big city after all. Although there are many tourists, the consumption capacity of residents is far less than that of Paris.

Nice once conducted a market survey and also worked with third-party ticketing agencies to develop a pricing model for ticket prices.

Based on Nice's current average ticket price of 15 euros in Ligue 20, the ticket price will increase to euros after moving into the new stadium.

This is almost the same as teams like Lyon and Lille.

This can also ensure that every game is filled with 3 people.

But it is obviously not enough compared to the 25 euros in Paris.

If the price goes up further, it will definitely result in some price-sensitive fans not going to watch the game in person.

In this case, Nice decided to set the average ticket price at 20 euros.

This means that after moving into the new stadium and stabilizing the performance, the ticket revenue from Ligue 1300 alone will reach more than million euros.

Maybe many people have no idea.

In Ligue 1500, the club with the lowest revenue last season was Brest, which is estimated to be around million euros.

If we add in the ticket revenue from the French Cup and the Champions League group stage, the overall figure is still very considerable.

Therefore, from the moment Nice moved into the new stadium, Yang Cheng, Xia Qing and Adam Crozier were very sure that the team was on the right track.

From now on, as long as Nice maintains its current momentum, continues to focus on youth training, and firmly takes root in the French and African football markets, I believe that the team's operations will become better and better, and its strength will become stronger and stronger.

Of course, the most important reason why Nice was able to get back on track quickly was the support of the towering Chinese people in Bayswater.

At the same time, it is also inseparable from Yang Cheng's planning behind the scenes.

At the very least, without Yang Cheng's support, Nice would not have been able to quickly form such a lineup.

……

As major European leagues came to an end one after another, the Champions League final gradually came into everyone's sight.

May 5th, Wembley Stadium, London!
Before the Champions League final, UEFA announced a major change.

Starting from 2015, the champion of the Europa League will directly advance to the Champions League next season!

This quickly aroused heated discussions throughout the European football world.

Everyone knows that although a lot of changes have been made in the competition system from the UEFA Cup to the Europa League, in fact, it is still difficult to change the useless nature of the Europa League.

Many people even joked that the biggest role of the Europa League is to help teams and leagues gain points in European competitions.

Yes, the European points obtained in the Europa League are the same as those obtained in the Champions League.

According to the media and fans, it is much easier to earn European points in the Europa League than in the Champions League.

But from the perspective of the tournament organizers, the uselessness of the Europa League is undoubtedly something that no one wants to see.

Therefore, they hope to further enhance the value of the Europa League by bundling it with the Champions League.

After all, everyone knows that qualification for the Champions League means an income of 20 to 30 million euros.

In addition to the Europa League champion entering the Champions League, the Champions League champion will also directly qualify for next season's Champions League.

The latter one actually has precedent.

For example, Liverpool won the Champions League that year, but failed to make the top four in the league, so they were specially approved by UEFA to enter the Champions League, but they had to start from the first round of qualifying matches.

Therefore, there were as many as five Premier League teams in the 05/06 Champions League.

Now, UEFA has officially launched it.

In addition to the big news from UEFA, Bayern also released some big news.

For example, the Bundesliga giants have already signed Dortmund's core player Gotze.

And it is in the form of paying termination fees.

This is undoubtedly surprising.

German media also revealed that after Bayern entered the Champions League final, the main players of the first team will receive a bonus of 15 pounds, and head coach Heynckes received a bonus of 25 pounds.

In addition, Heynckes has made it clear that he is willing to continue to coach Bayern.

But the British media clearly showed disdain for this.

Why?

Mortal enemy!
The Sun was the first to start the mockery mode.

The British media believes that Bayern is too petty.

Such a big and powerful club is actually so stingy with players' bonuses.

We made it to the Champions League final, but the main players of the first team were only paid 15 pounds?
"Norwich, have you heard of it?"

“This season’s Premier League ranking is 12th.”

"Just a few days ago, Norwich City successfully avoided relegation in the Premier League, and then issued a relegation bonus of 25 pounds to every player in the first team!"

The Times also mentioned in the report that after winning the Champions League final last season, the Chinese at Bayswater gave each player a championship bonus of 30 pounds.

"Pay attention, this is just the additional winning bonus after the Champions League final!"

"The bonuses for the Chinese players at Bayswater, who won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, far exceeded the outside world's estimates!"

"Yang Cheng has always been very willing to invest in this area."

Bayern immediately came out to clarify the "accusations" from the British media.

Rummenigge revealed that £15 is just the bonus for reaching the final, and the club will also award a treble bonus.

But Rummenigge refused to disclose the exact amount, only saying it was a record figure.

The game hasn't even started yet, but the media on both sides have already started a war of words.

As the game approached, players and others came out one after another.

Before Bayern set off for London, Schweinsteiger said in an interview with German media that the Chinese in Bayswater are a very strong opponent.

“It will be a tense game and we need to stay focused and be at our best from kick-off to the end!”

But Xiaozhu also mentioned, "We hope to resolve the battle within 90 minutes, and we already have a plan!"

At the end of the interview, Schweinsteiger even expressed his desire for the championship in a rather exaggerated way.

"If I can win this championship, I'd be willing to live a few years less!"

Bayern captain Lahm also said in an interview with media reporters, "The Champions League trophy is very big. I practiced how to lift it at home."

"How did you practice? It's very simple. I was with my son. I often lifted him up and put him down!"

“This is preparation at its best!”

Thomas Muller, the top player, even boasted, "We must not lose again this season!"

"If we lose to the Bayswater Chinese again, we will be forever branded as losers!"

"So, we must win!"

Bayern Munich head coach Heynckes also said in an interview with media reporters that Bayern players have shown unprecedented ambition and fighting spirit in the past season.

“We put in a world-class performance!”

"For many players in our team, they must have a Champions League trophy and they will do everything they can to achieve this goal!"

The all-pervasive British media revealed a lot of shocking news.

The Daily Mail revealed that the hotel Bayern Munich stayed in London was the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel, near the East Gate of Hyde Park.

This hotel has a very large banquet hall that can accommodate 1800 people. It was originally an ice rink. Queen Elizabeth learned to skate here when she was 7 years old. It was converted into a banquet hall before World War II.

American General Eisenhower and General Patton often dined here.

The Daily Mail revealed that Bayern Munich not only booked hotel rooms, but also booked the banquet hall and requested that the accompanying bar be open until 5 a.m. the next day.

In other words, Bayern has already started preparing for the championship celebration in advance!

The British media criticized this, saying that the Germans were too arrogant.

"The Germans always think they are very smart, but in fact, everything they do in London is kept secret."

"About 180 metres east of the hotel they booked is the headquarters office of Bayswater Chinese, where hundreds of Bayswater Chinese employees gathered."

What this means is that Bayern's every move is under the eyes of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Bayswater Chinese players also began to fight back against the remarks made by Bayern players.

From captain Modric to other players, they all came forward and made harsh remarks in the media.

This is not only a fight back, but also a way to motivate yourself and your teammates.

The most eye-catching one among them is Toni Kroos.

The German midfielder said in an interview with German Bild newspaper, "Whether in terms of honors, achievements, or strength, the Chinese in Bayswater are now a level higher than Bayern!"

This sentence directly broke the defense of the entire Germany!
