Chapter 1072

After the completion of the new stadium in Chinatown, the naming contract with the Qatar consortium was officially launched. In the next 20 years, the name of the new stadium in Chinatown will be Qatar Royal stadium.

According to the terms of the contract signed by the two sides before, after winning the Champions League, Chinatown can get a 15 million euro naming fee every year. This sponsorship fee is really a loss for the current Chinatown.

When Chinatown was planning to build a new stadium, there was a lack of start-up funds. The Qatari consortium took the initiative to offer a large amount of start-up funds to Chinatown in the form of stadium title and shirt sponsorship, alleviating the urgent need of the team. At that time, Chinatown was not well-known at all.

But in recent years, Chinatown has developed rapidly. Last season's two runners up and one Champions League champion have made the world know Chinatown again, and made Amando Marcos more confident in front of the sponsors.

For the black and white words signed in that year, Chinatown will certainly admit it, but in the terms of the contract signed in that year, there is also a clause to increase the sponsorship fee according to the team's performance and influence. Therefore, after friendly negotiation, the two sides will increase the sponsorship fee to 15 million euros per year, with a maximum of 20 million euros.

But the condition is that Chinatown will train in Qatar every winter break to play a warm-up match.

Of course, this will not be free. Qatar will contract all the expenses and pay a considerable appearance fee.

The purpose of doing so is to build momentum for the Qatar world cup with the help of the reputation of Chinatown.

It's a pity that the stadium naming rights have been sold, but fortunately, Chinatown has never suffered a loss in the two most important sponsorship.

The Jersey sponsorship is about to expire. Nike and Adidas are interested in competing for the sponsorship right of Chinatown's Jersey. Nike is a partner for many years, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also Nike's camp. Adidas has only one Real Madrid in the top four of La Liga, but in recent years, the performance of Galaxy warship is not ideal.

Therefore, the two sides started a fierce competition for the sponsorship of Chinatown Jersey.

Chest advertising sponsorship is also a major source of business income for the club. In order to prepare for the construction of a new stadium, the club signed a five-year contract with Qatar Airways. From 2011 to 2016, there are only two years left. Many world brands have started to contact Chinatown, hoping to sponsor the shirt advertising in Chinatown.

Qatar Airways is also interested in continuing to sponsor Chinatown, but the annual sponsorship fee of 12 million euro can no longer meet the requirements of Chinatown. The Middle East local tyrants are also clear about this, and the two sides are negotiating on the renewal of the contract.

In addition to the two major sponsors, Chinatown has many other sponsors, either need to renew the contract negotiations, or need metabolism. General manager Amando Marcos is very busy, but every time he is busy, he will bring huge business income to the club.

Of course, as the owner of the club, Gao Han is never stingy with the salary of his staff.

In this summer's transfer market, verati and Godin have brought 150 million euros to Chinatown. In addition to 100 million euros for youth training in China, the remaining 50 million euros are used to improve the treatment of the club's players, including the training base, office environment and other hardware facilities, as well as the salaries of players, staff and employees.

Zidane's treatment has changed the most.

Before, as a rookie manager, he never had any independent coaching experience. His annual salary was only 3 million euro, but after he won a Champions League, Gao Han directly mentioned 6 million euro to him, which was more than any player in the club team.

Is this salary expensive?

Indeed, in the whole European football world, the head coach is quite high, but Zidane declined Real Madrid's offer of 10 million euros a year to stay in the team, and China city offered 6 million euros, which is not unreasonable.

What's more, Amando Marcos has calculated that Zidane is in charge of Chinatown. After the operation of Real Madrid in those years, his portrait right management is a gold lettered signboard in football. Even if it's five or five points, it can bring a lot of income to Chinatown every year. In addition, the club's influence is enhanced by the superstar effect.

It can be said that the annual salary of six million euros to renew Zidane is very cost-effective.

Not to mention Zidane's help to many players in the team at the competitive level.

The only disadvantage for Chinatown is that Zidane doesn't like long-term contracts like Gao Han. He only signs for two years.

Gao Han really understands this, because that's what he is.

For a coach, a long-term contract is not only a constraint, but also an anesthetic. It's easy to make people lazy and lazy. On the contrary, it's not as interesting as signing once every two years.

Of course, if Zidane does well in the past two years, he should be paid more.

…………

On the evening of August 22, in the southern suburb of Madrid, at the Royal stadium of Qatar.

This brand-new stadium, with a simple and solemn appearance and a strong Chinese style, finally ushered in the first game.

The grandstand, which can hold 42000 fans, is full. The sound waves they make pour down from the slanting grandstand and sweep the whole stadium, making every fan in the stadium feel as if they are in a raging sea.

In addition to the capacity, everything else in the new stadium is built in strict accordance with the world's top standards, such as venue operation. A year ago, Gao Han did not hesitate to come out in person and went to London to dig for the role of Paul Boggs, Arsenal's venue maintainer, as the chief venue operation officer of Chinatown.

Many fans may not have heard of Paul Boggs, but Gao is very familiar with him.

The thirty-four year old Englishman, born in Manchester, worked as a field operator at Blackpool at the age of sixteen, arrived at A Senna at the age of eighteen, took over A Senna's field operations four years later, and was nominated as the Premier League's best field manager every year and won the award five times. In 2008, he also won the venue manager award of the association of course management, which can be called the golden ball award in the field of venue maintenance and the world's top award.

Gao Han knew him when he was coaching Manchester City. For a time, he wanted to poach him to Manchester City, but later he didn't follow. When the new stadium in Chinatown needed to start preparing turf, Gao Han was the first one to consult him, and finally went to London to persuade him to join Chinatown.

Paul Boggs has been fully responsible for the construction and maintenance of the new stadium since a year ago, from floor heating to drainage to turf selection and laying. He has been involved in everything one by one. According to the technical and tactical style of Chinatown, he has tailored this 105 meter long, 68 meter wide new stadium for the team.

The game has not yet started, all fans sitting in the stands looking down, will praise the beauty of this field, like a green carpet, laid in the middle of the stadium.

Three days ago, Chinatown away to challenge Atletico Madrid, the two sides into a one-to-one draw.

Now, both sides have ushered in a crucial decisive battle!

…………

…………

"Boggs is really good!"

In the center of the grandstand, the two top leaders of Atletico Madrid, serezo and hill, are sitting with Gao, accompanied by cantarero and Amando Marcos.

When Atletico Madrid saw the new stadium in Chinatown, they couldn't help exclaiming.

It is the so-called "experts watch the door, laymen watch the excitement".

As long as it is immersed in professional football, people can see how difficult it is to maintain such a field.

Some people even joke that this is high-tech grass planting.

After listening to the praise of serezo, Gao Han was very popular and laughed, "that's Paul. He can be called Maradona in the field of venue maintenance, don't you think?"

Many people think that site maintenance is a simple technical job, but it is not.

After the turf is laid, it is easy to be damaged by fungi, diseases and insect pests, and becomes dilapidated. The work of the maintenance staff seems relaxed, but in fact they are often busier. Especially during the league, the pressure on the shoulders is not lost to the players and the coaching staff at all.

For example, Paul Boggs, who just complained about the cold recently, works 50-120 hours a week. After getting up at 7 a.m., he has to patrol the stadium around, pay attention to the weather forecast at 8 a.m., and make a day's maintenance plan.

It would be better if the double match is an away match in a week. But if the double match is at home, or when the turf is changed, you have to stay up late and work overtime. Sometimes you even have to stay up all night and observe the turf in turn.

In addition to Paul Boggs, there are many working groups like him in the whole Qatar Royal stadium, busy day after day, week after week, preparing for the team silently.

Finally, we can deliver 90 minutes of high quality matches for the fans on the spot and in front of the TV in the home game.

It is worth mentioning that there are at least two young students from China in each working group of Chinatown. They are basically high-quality students who have graduated from relevant majors. They are supported by the cold weather to continue their studies in Europe and practice in Chinatown. After they finish their studies, they will return to China and work in Chinatown.

Atletico Madrid's two big men really admire alpine, because Alpine is not only knowledgeable, but also willing to invest.

Paul Boggs and his team are really very professional, but they don't have to be willing to let Atletico Madrid dig a corner with high salary. Of course, they may not be able to dig a corner with high salary.

Everyone can see that Paul Boggs came to Chinatown because of the cold.

Many people think that alpine cold has disappeared in the past year and has done nothing, but only those who really know him and Chinatown know that he has not done anything, but has done more than before.

It's just that all of this has retreated behind the scenes.

…………

…………

Both sides of the game finally entered the stadium one after another.

As a result of a bitter battle just three days ago, both sides had a proper rotation this time.

Zidane this is the home battle, the front row of Hesse, morata and dibala attack combination.

Although Simone is away from home and lost the Champions League final before, he still has a great psychological advantage over Chinatown. This game is also full of aggression. From the beginning of the game, Simone has been pressing heavily and continues to use high-level pressure, hoping to continue to suppress Chinatown as before.

Unexpectedly, Chinatown seems to have been prepared for the first time. After the first pass, it failed to penetrate, and then it passed back to dehya.

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres forced to grab the front door, forcing de GEA a big foot forward.

Morata retreated and pressed Ramos to head the ball to the first landing point.

Dibala is to grab the second landing point, not waiting for the ball to land, a foot straight behind.

Just see Hesse like a flash of lightning, from behind the line of defense of Atletico Madrid, straight to the forbidden area, catch up with the ball after a push shot, broke the goal of obrak, the whole process is clean, without any drag.

Blitzkrieg!

one to naught!
