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

According to the terms of the contract signed by both parties before, after winning the Champions League championship, Chinatown can receive a naming fee of 15 million euros every year. This sponsorship fee is indeed a bit of a loss for Chinatown today.

When Chinatown was planning to build a new stadium, there was a lack of start-up funds. The Qatar consortium took the initiative to throw itself into his arms and provided Chinatown with a large amount of start-up funds through the stadium naming and jersey sponsorship, alleviating the team's urgent needs. However, Chinatown was not famous at that time.

But in recent years, Chinatown has developed rapidly. The two runner-ups and one Champions League champion of last season have made the whole world re-recognize Chinatown and have also made Armando Marcos more confident in front of sponsors.

Chinatown will definitely not admit the black and white words signed that year, but in the terms of the contract signed that year, there are also terms to increase sponsorship fees based on the team's performance and influence. Therefore, after friendly negotiations, the two parties increased the sponsorship fees to 15 million euros per year, and at the highest level, they could get 20 million euros.

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

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

Their purpose of doing this is to use Chinatown's reputation to build momentum for the Qatar World Cup.

The naming rights of the stadium were a bit of a pity, but fortunately, Chinatown never suffered any losses among the two most important sponsors.

The jersey sponsorship is about to expire, and Nike and Adidas are interested in competing for Chinatown's jersey sponsorship rights. Nike is a partner for many years, and Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also in the Nike camp. Adidas only has one Real Madrid in the semi-finals of La Liga, but the performance of the Galaxy battleships has not been ideal in recent years.

Therefore, the two sides began a fierce competition for Chinatown jersey sponsorship.

Boob advertising sponsorship is also a major source of the club's commercial income. In order to build a new stadium, it signed a five-year contract with Qatar Airways. From 2011 to 2016, there are only two years left. Many world brands have begun to contact Chinatown, hoping to sponsor Chinatown's jersey advertisements.

Qatar Airways is also full of interest in continuing to sponsor Chinatown, but the annual sponsorship fee of 12 million euros is no longer possible to meet Chinatown's requirements. The local tyrants in the Middle East are also clear about this. The two sides are negotiating on the contract renewal.

In addition to the two major sponsors, Chinatown has many other sponsors, either needing renewal negotiations or requiring metabolism. General Manager Armando Marcos is very busy, but every time he is busy, he will bring rich commercial income to the club.

Of course, as the boss of the club, Gao Han never stings with the salary of his subordinates.

In this summer's transfer market, Villati and Godin brought Chinatown 150 million euros in revenue. In addition to 100 million euros to invest in China's youth training, Gao Han's remaining 50 million euros are all used to improve the treatment of club players, including hardware facilities such as training bases and office environments, as well as the salaries of players, staff and employees.

Zidane is the one who has changed the most.

As a rookie coach, he has never had any experience in coaching independently. His annual salary is only 3 million euros, but after winning a Champions League, Gao Han directly mentioned him 6 million euros, and his salary exceeded that of any player in the club.

Is this salary very expensive?

Indeed, in the entire European football world, the head coaches are quite high, but Zidane politely declined the annual salary offer of 10 million euros offered by Real Madrid to stay in the team, and Chinatown gave 6 million euros, that would be beyond ridiculous.

What's more, Armando Marcos has calculated the calculations. Zidane coached Chinatown. After the operation of Real Madrid, his portrait rights management can be regarded as a golden signboard in the football world. Even if it is a 50-50-point account, it can bring considerable income to Chinatown every year, and the club influence brought by the superstar effect has increased.

It can be said that Zidane renewed his contract with a 6 million euro, and this annual salary is very cost-effective.

Not to mention Zidane has helped many players in the team at the competitive level.

The only thing that is more unfavorable to Chinatown is that Zidane, like Gao Han, does not like to long contracts, and he only signed for two years.

Gao Han really understood this because he was like this.

A long-term contract is not only a constraint for a head coach, but also an anesthetic. It is often easy for people to become lazy and lazy, but it is not as interesting as signing every two years.

Of course, if Zidane has performed well in the past two years, he still has to raise his salary if he should raise his salary.

On the evening of August 22, the southern suburbs of Madrid, the Royal Stadium of Qatar.

This new stadium with a simple and solemn appearance and a strong Chinese style finally ushered in its first game.

The stands that can accommodate 42,000 fans are packed. The sound they created poured down from the oblique stands and swept the entire stadium, making every fan in the stadium feel like he is in the turbulent sea of ​​anger.

In addition to capacity, everything else in the new stadium is strictly built according to the world's top standards, such as venue operation. A year ago, Gao Han did not hesitate to personally come forward to poach Arsenal's venue maintenance officer Paul Boggs, and served as the chief venue operation officer of Chinatown.

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

This Englishman, who is only 34 years old, was born in Manchester. He worked as a field manager at Blackpool at the age of 16. He went to Arsenal at the age of 18. He took charge of Arsenal's field operations four years later. He was nominated as the Premier League's Best Stadium Manager every year and won this award five times. In 2008, he also won the Field Manager Award from the Stadium Management Association. This can be called the Golden Globe Award in the field of venue maintenance and the world's top prize.

Gao Han knew him when he was coaching Manchester City. He once wanted to poach him to Manchester City, but then there was no further information. When the new stadium in Chinatown needed to start preparing for the turf, Gao Han consulted him first, and finally went to London in person 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 inquired about everything in every detail, and has tailored this new stadium of 105 meters long and 68 meters wide for the team based on Chinatown's technical and tactical style.

The game has not started yet, and all the fans sat down in the stands and looked down, and they would admire the beauty of the venue, like a green carpet, laid in the middle of the court.

Three days ago, Chinatown challenged Atletico Madrid away, and the two sides tied a one-to-one draw.

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

…………

…………

"Borgus is really amazing!"

In the middle of the chairman's stands, two senior executives at Atletico Madrid who were playing away, Serezo and Hill, both sat with Gao Han, accompanied by Cantalero and Armando Marcos.

When the two Atletico Madrid bosses saw this new stadium in Chinatown, they couldn't help but exclaim.

As the saying goes, an expert looks at the tricks, while an outsider watches the fun.

Anyone who is immersed in professional football can see how difficult it is to maintain such a venue.

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

After hearing Cerezzo's praise, Gao Han was very impressed and laughed, "That's right, Paul can be called Maradona in the venue maintenance industry. What do you think?"

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

After the turf is laid, it is easily damaged by fungi and insects and becomes broken. The work of the venue maintenance staff seems relaxed and comfortable, but in fact it is often busier, especially during the league, where the pressure on their shoulders is not inferior to the players and coaching staff at all.

For example, Paul Boggs, who had just complained to Gao Han not long ago that he worked fifty to one hundred and twenty hours a week. After getting up at 7 o'clock in the morning, he had to patrol the stadium everywhere, start paying attention to weather forecasts at 8 o'clock, and formulate a day-long site maintenance plan.

If you are in the weekly double games and away games, it would be better, but if you are in the double home games, or when you are in the turf change, you have to work overtime, and sometimes you have to stay up all night and take turns to observe the turf condition.

In addition to Paul Boggs, there are many working groups like him in the entire Qatar Royal Stadium, busy day after day, week after week, silently preparing for the team's game.

Finally, we can give 90 minutes of high-quality games to the fans on site and in front of the TV in the home game.

It is worth mentioning that each working group in China City has at least two young students from China. They are basically top students from related majors. Gao Han supports them to continue their studies in Europe and internships in China City. After completing their studies, they will return to China to work in China City.

The two bigwigs at Atletico Madrid really admire Gao Han because Gao Han not only knows how to do things, but also is willing to devote himself to it.

Paul Boggs and his team are indeed very professional, but they may not be willing to poach Atletico Madrid with high salaries. Of course, they may not be able to poach them.

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

Many people think that Gao Han disappeared in the past year and did nothing, but only those who truly understand him and Chinatown know that he did not do nothing, but did more than before.

It’s just that all of this has retreated behind the scenes and is unknown.

…………

…………

Both sides finally walked into the stadium one after another.

Since I had just experienced a tough battle three days ago, both sides had appropriate rotations this time.

Zidane played at home this time, and the offensive combination of Hesse, Morata and Dybala were arranged in the frontcourt.

Although Simeone played away and lost the Champions League final before, she still had a considerable psychological advantage over Chinatown. She also arranged an aggressive team in this game. She put a big push from the beginning of the game and continued to use high-level pressure to suppress Chinatown, hoping to continue to suppress Chinatown like before.

But unexpectedly, Chinatown seemed to be ready for a long time. After the first pass and infiltration failed, it returned to the front door to De Gea.

Atletico Madrid forward Torres pressed the ball in front of the goal, forcing De Gea to pass the ball with a big foot.

Morata retreated and responded, headed the ball to the first landing point by overwhelming Ramos.

Dybala grabbed the second landing point and passed the ball behind him with a diagonal pass without waiting for the ball to land.

Hesse was like a flash of lightning, from behind Atletico Madrid's defense line, he took the penalty area, chased the ball and shot, breaking through Oblak's goal. The whole process was clean and neat, without any drag.

Blitz!

One to zero!
Chapter completed!
