Super Marshal

The three people sitting in the office of the general manager of Calderon Stadium were all dignified, as if something major had happened.

Since last night, Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-0 and played two consecutive victories in the second stage of the group stage. After becoming the biggest favorite in the group stage breakout, the entire European football world has been shocked.

The media sang hymns, the fans were cheered, and everyone at the club was high-spirited.

There is no doubt that this is the rare peak of Atletico Madrid in decades.

But behind this group of people who were so overwhelmed by the team's performance, there are still people who remain calm at all times.

That is Enrique Cerezo!

This weekday looked a little dull, depressingly taciturn, and heinously caressing vice chairman, but when he arrived at the Calderon Stadium early this morning, he immediately gave Hill and Paul Futre Call a meeting.

The first sentence is: "We have encountered an unprecedented problem!"

Little Hill and Paul Footre obviously hadn’t recovered from the excitement and excitement of last night. The first reaction was that this guy was joking, but soon, Cerezo’s next sentence made them realize The severity of the problem.

"It's probably difficult for us to keep players anymore!"

The two opposing people were completely stunned, and the laughter on their faces turned into a solemn worry.

Yes, Atletico Madrid is in big trouble!

The better the team's performance and the better the players perform, the harder it is for Atletico Madrid to keep players.

Today's Sheets Corps is no longer the third giant in La Liga before relegation. Once relegated, everything was overthrown and the Hill family lost the financial support. Atletico Madrid must be self-reliant.

Not to mention that, like before, the heavy money has been digging up top stars such as Vieri and Hasselbaink. Even if the existing players in the team are retained, it is a very heavy burden for Atletico Madrid.

"In the past two years, the team’s salary has risen again and again, and the maximum salary has been broken and broken again. Many players have renewed their contracts every year and raised their salaries every year. Up to now, our team’s entire salary expenditure is in La Liga. The league has climbed to the upper reaches."

Cerezo’s words made Hill and Paul Footley both aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Money, this is a problem that all professional teams must face.

To run a team like Atletico Madrid, if you want to be self-reliant, you must control your financial revenue and expenditure.

On the one hand, it is necessary to increase revenue and increase the team's financial income as much as possible. This requires sponsors, match-day income, and broadcast rights. However, in La Liga, the majority of broadcast rights belong to Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid wants to compete, yes, it has a bargaining chip for long-term stable performance.

If the income of the match day is limited by the Calderon Stadium, Atletico Madrid has no advantage in this regard.

As for sponsors, as the team has performed well, it has progressed well, but it is still far from being comparable to giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In addition to open source, the team must also pay attention to throttle.

The biggest expense of a club is undoubtedly the salary of the players, which needs to be controlled.

Why can a wealthy team always be able to tap players from other teams so easily?

In addition to the broader platform, a very important reason is that the wealthy teams can give higher salaries.

There is a saying that is right, don't wear such a big hat if you don't have such a big head.

Without sufficient financial revenue, it is impossible to retain the stars.

The more potential and strength you have, the less you can keep it!

"With the past period of time, our team's performance in the European arena is getting better and better, and the giant team's corner-digging offensive is getting more and more fierce, especially AC Milan. They are eager to get Kaka." Dodge God

"Manchester United's Peter Kenyon also contacted me and asked about the offers of Harvey Alonso and Carvalho. I heard that Ferguson is very interested in these two players."

"Also interested in Xavi Alonso is Barcelona. Van Gaal thinks he has the ability to replace Guardiola."

Cerezo's words undoubtedly sounded the alarm in the hearts of the two opposing people.

The Champions League is indeed very good, but for Atletico Madrid at this stage, it is undoubtedly a hot potato.

Originally, the management meant that the focus was on participation, entering the second stage of the group stage, earning some appearance fees, game bonuses, and broadcasting fee sharing, and nothing more than a fortune.

But the situation is different now. The team is getting better and better and more effective. This puts the team in a dilemma.

The team's performance goes up, and the better the players perform, the easier it is to attract the digging of the wealthy teams.

Today's Atletico Madrid is a bit like Valencia, even more terrifying than Valencia's situation.

At that time, many giants looted Mendieta, but now...

Villa, Torres, Kaka, Xavi Alonso, Deco, Marcos Senna, Carvalho, Cech...

That group of giants like wolves is just about to divide Atletico Madrid into five horses!

Now, there are only two ways in front of Atletico Madrid.

Either squat to the end and forcefully retain the players, but this will have to renew the salary increase, which will greatly increase the financial burden of the team. Once handled carelessly, the team is likely to go bankrupt or even relegated to the same mistakes that year.

Either abandon the military to protect the handsome, sell a few players in exchange for a large amount of cash, and retain a group of backbone forces.

I believe that all reasonable operators know how to choose.

But the problem is that abandoning the army to protect the commander also has considerable risks.

Powerful teams are focusing on the best players in the team. They are the soul of a team. They are sold. Although they have received a large transfer fee, the team’s technical and tactical play is also certain. Changes will follow.

By that time, whether the team can still maintain its competitiveness, I am afraid it is difficult to say.

A giant team like Real Madrid is not good at the strategy of digging if they can't beat it?

Farther away are Tenerife’s coach Valdano and midfielder Redondo, Valencia’s Mijatović, and closer, there are Vigo Celta’s Makelele and Deportivo’s Frau Vio...

These giant teams always rely on their own strong financial advantages at low tides, wave their checks, **** blood from other teams, and recruit high-level players to replenish their own strength. Rejuvenation can be achieved within a period of time.

As for the teams that have been poached and sucked blood, they have handled them well and can get through the difficulties. Once they are not handled well, they are likely to fail and it will be difficult to compete with the wealthy teams.

The biggest difference between ordinary fans and team managers is that they look at problems from a different perspective.

The former often only pays attention to the high light period of the team and always wants to improve the team's performance as quickly as possible, but the latter pays more attention to the team's trough, pays more attention to improving the team's anti-risk ability, and avoids it as much as possible. Or help the team out of the trough as soon as possible.

Isn’t the so-called wealthy heritage that is often talked about by the fans only when it is in the trough?

The relegation of Atletico Madrid has exhausted everything in the team. Today's sheet army is torn down and rebuilt.

It is not easy, but it is also faltering and cannot withstand the slightest risk and shock. The Red Mansions are going through the embarrassment

Cerezo was the first to see this thoroughly, and Hill and Paul Footre also understood it.

In the current situation of the team, it is necessary to sell a few players and retain a group of players in order to seek a more long-term and stable development.

But to sell the star star, I'm afraid...

"Gao Han should be able to understand." Paul Footley is not very sure.

The most prominent credit for the technical director of Atletico Madrid is to bet on Alpine's position, so he has always unconditionally supported Alpine.

But Cerezo sighed, "I'm afraid that even the high cold..."

The three looked at each other, and no one could speak.

To say that the most attractive in the Atletico Madrid team is none other than Alpine.

The strongest teams are the most aggressively poaching, and it is also the cold.

It was previously reported by the media that Bayern Munich intends to invite Gao Han to coach, and it was strongly recommended by head coach Hitzfeld.

Later, it was revealed that Barcelona will re-elect the chairman this summer. At least three candidates who are interested in running for the election have played the signs of Gao Han and promised to hire Gao Han to coach once they are elected.

After finishing AC Milan in the first stage, the Italian media also broke the news that Inter Milan has lost patience with Cooper and intends to invite Gao Han to coach and take over Meazza.

Just this morning, the British media are still hyping that Alpine will leave Atletico Madrid and coach the Premier League in the new season. Many teams, including Liverpool, are included in it.

It is not difficult to see that the popularity of Alpine is not inferior to the top stars of European football.

In this case, can Atletico Madrid still keep him?

"You have to work hard." Little Hill suddenly broke the silence.

"Without Gao Han, there would be no team today, so we can go anyway, even any player, but only Gao Han, we must do our best to stay!"

After hearing this, Cerezo and Paul Futre also nodded again and again.

"I have confidence in Gao Han, as long as he is there, the team will not collapse!" Paul Futre yelled loudly.

Obviously, the Big Three have reached a consensus.
