In previous summers, the funding problem did make Samuelson a headache, but this year it didn't. Because before he had a headache, Chu Zhongtian sent another check of 10 million pounds.

"This is..." Samuelson looked at Chu Zhongtian opposite him, a little surprised.

"The team needs to replenish their strength, and it's not okay if they don't have money." Chu Zhongtian said with a normal expression.

"We still have money. The ten million winter break you gave last year is not enough, we have a little left..." Samuelson explained. He felt that Chu Zhongtian's gift package was too big, so he didn't dare to accept it.

"It's far from enough. If a team has ambitions, it's not OK to invest without capital." Chu Zhongtian thought of Hoffenheim. If Hoffenheim had no Hope at the beginning, this team would definitely not have risen rapidly. Once Hope decided to reduce its investment in Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim's performance immediately declined, which was more obvious than the reaction in the stock market.

If the new policy that was not UEFA at the beginning affected Hope's determination, if Hope continues to invest, Hoffenheim may not be able to become a new giant that runs alongside Bayern Munich. After all, in terms of hardware facilities, Hoffenheim already has the conditions that can be comparable to Bayern Munich, and is top in the whole of Germany.

In that case, Chu Zhongtian might not be willing to leave Hoffenheim, who is already very familiar with, and switch to Real Madrid.

Because of this experience, Chu Zhongtian knew very well what funds meant for a modern football club.

Some people say that Hope is running a club with the idea of ​​running a company. This sentence is ironic, but Chu Zhongtian doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. It is now the 21st century, but the business philosophy of many football clubs is still in the 1960s.

If Wimbledon Athletics wants to achieve great development, it will not be able to make money. With money, you will have everything, and without money, you will have nothing.

Since you have money, why can't you help this team more?

He has invested 600 million yuan in Quanxing, Sichuan, and investing 200 million yuan in Wimbledon Athletics is nothing to him and there is no pressure.

Anyway, if you have too much money to a certain extent, it becomes a number. Instead of letting money exist meaninglessly as a number, it is better to do something very meaningful.

"But you have invested 20 million..."

"It's nothing. This money is not a bank loan, nor is it a sponsorship from the sponsor, it's my membership fee." Chu Zhongtian told Samuelson, you don't have to worry that I'll ask you to pay back the money in two years.

"But, you invest so much... the club can't let you spend so much money alone..."

"What's wrong with this? I like Wimbledon, I'm willing to pay for it as much as I can. How much can I do. Also, Eric, I think we can discuss issues about the new stadium..."

Samuelson was stunned. If Chu Zhongtian came today and injected another pound for the team, he was surprised, and now Chu Zhongtian's words completely short-circuited his brain.

"...It's like that. I also think it's not good if the team is promoted to the Premier League, if it still needs to loan other teams home courts to play. A team does not have its own home court, just like rootless duckweed. If the club wants to develop, hardware facilities are indispensable. I also know the club's financial difficulties, so I think we can discuss and invest in the construction of a new stadium by my company?" Chu Zhongtian told Samuelson about his plan.

But this time, he was definitely not willing to invest in building the stadium because of his love for the team.

Entering real estate is something Chu Zhongtian has always wanted to do. Now if he can take advantage of the opportunity of building a new stadium and enter the real estate field, it would be a good thing to have the best of both worlds.

If Samuelson agreed to the proposal, he would set up a real estate company immediately, and he would have prepared the relevant legal procedures long ago.

In the name of Wimbledon Club, we will buy land. In addition to building a stadium, we will also build a commercial community, which will spread around the stadium as the center.

This commercial center is Chu Zhongtian’s plan to make money.

"...The club doesn't need to pay a penny, just you just have a title. After it is completed, the stadium will belong to you. I have fifty years of operating rights in the business community and will be returned to the club in fifty years."

Samuelson felt that this plan would be no harm to Wimbledon Athletics. It doesn’t require Chu a cent, but only needs to pay the income of the business community in the next fifty years. People have spent so much money to build a stadium or something, so it’s okay to pay Chu Zhongtian. I said it a long time ago that in fifty years, this business community will be owned by the club. Wimbledon Athletics is equivalent to having a large area of ​​industries. With these industries, do you still have to worry about Wimbledon Athletics falling into an economic crisis in the future?

Think about how Real Madrid made its fortune? As soon as Florentino came up, he bought an old training base, rented out a high price for the commercial corner near the Bernabeu, raised a large amount of funds, and instantly got rid of debt.

Wimbledon Athletics can do the same.

Wimbledon Athletics now has a training base center centered on Kings Ranch, which is the property of Wimbledon Athletics. If you own a court and a business community, Wimbledon Athletics' foundation will be even thicker.

Samuelson told Chu Zhongtian: "The Wimbledon Athletic Club must have no objection..."

Chu Zhongtian knew that Samuelson could not refuse his proposal because it was so tempting that it solved the biggest problem of Wimbledon's Athletics and also made them useless to develop a mature business community in 50 years.

Chu Zhongtian clapped his hands: "Since there is no objection, that's fine. I think in a few days, there will be a special person to talk to you about cooperation in this regard, Eric."

"Hey, aren't you?" Samuelson asked in wonder.

"I'm still a player first..." Chu Zhongtian spread his hands.

Samuelson patted his forehead and reacted.

Sometimes Chu Zhongtian will really make him confused - is this man a successful businessman? Or is it a club director who is very passionate about the team? Or is it a player who has achieved countless successes in his career? Oh yes, Russell was talking yesterday that he wanted Chu to be the team's assistant coach and manage the team with him... He has many labels, and Samuelson feels that in the years to come, he has to work hard to adapt to Chu Zhongtian's many labels. Maybe every week, he just saw him on the club's board of directors.

The appearance of suit and tie, then he saw him sweating on the training ground. On the weekend, he saw him waving his fists on the court to celebrate the goal...※※※ Russell did propose to give Chu Zhongtian the position of assistant coach, definitely not because he liked Chu Zhongtian's investment of ten million pounds. Although in the club, Chu Zhongtian, the director, contributed the most. He gave the club a fixed membership fee of one million pounds every year, and added another 10 million pounds last year, and now he has added another 10 million pounds.

But Russell values ​​Chu Zhongtian's professional qualities. He has his own unique side in terms of understanding players and understanding the team. Mourinho once said that Chu Zhongtian is his good assistant, so why can't Russell use this good assistant?

He had already discussed this matter with Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian did not object to being the team's assistant coach. When he was at Hoffenheim, he had served as the team coach for a long time, so he was no stranger to doing such things.

Now Chu Zhongtian is with Russell to study which players the team should introduce next season.

In fact, even if Russell doesn't give him such a title, he will participate in the team's management very frequently. He is only one year younger than Russell, the oldest among players, has rich experience, and has worked with many excellent head coaches one after another. In addition, he is a very good at learning, so he has some ideas in this regard. Russell is very happy to let him participate in the team's management.

Chu Zhongtian and Russell must first establish a more team style. This is one of Chu Zhongtian's biggest experiences in his career. Any team must have their own style. If there is always a style every year, defensive counterattack is popular this year, so they will learn defensive counterattack. Barcelona's ball-control offensive style will be popular next year. They will learn Barcelona's, and in the end they will achieve nothing. In order to satisfy this changing style, the team has to buy players and sell players. This will be a huge burden for the team's finances.

A typical example is Real Madrid. After Bosque left, Real Madrid lost its fixed style. At first, they relied on the personal performance of the superstars in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleships, but it no longer worked. Later, after the superstars retired or left one after another, the team's playing style became even more chaotic. Capello's passive conservativeness, Schuster's offensive football, and more styles that make people completely indescribable are mixed together, which is very chaotic.

How could Real Madrid achieve good results like this? They also won the league championship in two seasons, thankfully.

The person who ended this chaos was Mourinho. After he came to the team, he was the first step to establish the team's style - on the basis of careful defense, he fully utilized the team's fast speed and used simple and fast playing styles to impact the opponent's defense line. Real Madrid had the least passing pass before scoring a goal, but it was the most deadly. In La Liga and Barcelona formed a completely different style. This style was developed and fully matured after Chu Zhongtian came, and eventually suppressed Barcelona and achieved the dominance of Real Madrid in these eight seasons.

Not only in Real Madrid, but every team Chu Zhongtian played for his career has a very distinct style. In Metz, it is the gorgeous offensive football that Jean Fernandez rushed to, similar to Barcelona. In Hoffenheim, it is the offensive football that will be played to the extreme and extremely impactful.

Whether it is gorgeous or simple, it is offensive football.

So Chu Zhongtian felt that Wimbledon should also take the path of offensive football, but the methods need to be changed.

"In fact, the 'crazy gang' has never been a conservative and negative team. Their courage to compete with the powerful Liverpool can illustrate this." Russell agreed with this.

Wimbledon Athletics is the successor of the "crazy gang", so naturally he must inherit the spirit of the crazy gang. If he shrinks into the penalty area all day long and is passive and conservative, what kind of crazy gang is? Qiang gang is a spirit, a kind of attitude of bravely striving for five thousand, and never giving up even when facing the most powerful enemy.

Offense is the thing that best reflects this attitude.

After establishing that the attack should be the main focus, what means should be used to attack?

The English Championship is very concerned about physical confrontation, and the intensity of physical confrontation is even greater than that of the Premier League. In the Premier League, there are also technical flows like Arsenal and Manchester United, and in the English Championship, it is basically the world of physical flows.

Playing with technology will lead to a very miserable death here, because no matter how good your skills are, your health is not good, what's the use of being hit by the other party?

So Chu Zhongtian felt that he should not emphasize Barcelona's technical flow in the Championship. He felt that he should learn from Mourinho's trick in Real Madrid and emphasizes his body and speed. Real Madrid players' physical confrontation ability is very excellent, and it is precisely because of their excellent physical fitness that they can suppress Barcelona.

On the basis of outstanding physical fitness, we will win with speed and emphasize the fast and direct style of play.

Chu Zhongtian believes that this style is very suitable for the spirit of "crazy gangs". Mad gangs are not suitable for being artists, and they are quite suitable for being such a crazy person who moves forward and does not look back.

"Occurrence! Attack, keep attacking, rapid attack, and try every means to send the football into the opponent's goal! I think this is quite suitable for the spirit of a crazy gang, haha!" Chu Zhongtian said with a smile.

Russell also thought this idea was good, but he was not considering whether it was in line with the spirit of the crazy gang, but starting from a more practical perspective. There are not people with fast speed players in the team, but this speed can only be used by the players personally. In other words, to play fast, it is also difficult for the players to form systematic combat power. The result of personal fast, but overall unhappiness is that the offense is easy to get out of touch, which makes the players fall into a situation where they fight alone. In this way, it is easy to say that when facing a weak team, you can open up the situation by relying on your personal ability. When you encounter a slightly stronger team, you will be stupid.

With Chu Zhongtian, the practice of playing fast offensive works. Chu Zhongtian is the team organizer, commander, and commander tower. He can mobilize the team to play the required speed. It would not work if Jupiter was replaced. Jupiter did not have such ability. In fact, the whole team could not find someone with such ability. In fact, in terms of controlling the team rhythm, and in terms of the ability to control the team at will, no one in the world could find someone better than Chu Zhongtian, so Jupiter was not as good as Chu Zhongtian because he was not deliberately belittled this young man.

After the team's style is determined, the team will be rebuilt according to this style. This summer, many players will inevitably leave the team and many players will come in.

In fact, it is very risky to suddenly flood in so many new players in the season when they are about to upgrade, but Chu Zhongtian and Russell have to choose to take this risk, because Chu Zhongtian and Wimbledon have only four years of contract, and no one knows whether they can renew their contract four years later.

Russell made a plan for the team to spend half a season to get along with each other. If you don’t pursue the results in this half season, you can just stabilize in the middle and start to make efforts after Christmas. With half a season left, it is entirely possible to catch up to sixth place. As long as you can enter the upgrade play-offs, you will have hope of upgrading.

Chu Zhongtian had no objection to Russell's plan, and he thought so too.

However, to speed up the team's running-in, the hardest thing is not Russell, but Chu Zhongtian. As the team's commander and "head coach on the field", he must be familiar with the characteristics of each new player as soon as possible so that they can perform to the highest level in the game. As the core of a team's organization, it is not possible to be unfamiliar with teammates.

In order to get familiar with the characteristics of these new teammates as soon as possible, Chu Zhongtian must also participate in the recruitment work. He has to watch many game videos of the target players with Russell, collect their information, understand their characteristics, and even come forward to bargain with their agents.

This summer, he will be extremely busy.

※※Two days later, Samuelson signed a contract with the person sent by Chu Zhongtian in the club's office. Just before that day, a new real estate company was established.

The construction plan for the new stadium of Wimbledon Athletic Club has officially kicked off.

But this kind of economic situation is still far from the team. Everyone is only concerned about this summer. Who will be introduced to build a cheap Wimbledon Athletic to enrich their strength? After all, players who are worthy of Chu Zhongtian cannot just find some cats and dogs.

Even because of Chu Zhongtian's joining, Wimbledon Athletics has certain appeal to some Premier League players - those who play in the reserve team in Premier League teams cannot play in the first team, so it is better to play in the first-level team. What is the appeal of Wimbledon Athletics compared to other Championship teams? Of course, it is because Chu Zhongtian, as a superstar who has won the World Footballer three times, Chu Zhongtian has worked with many excellent players. They also hope that they can fight side by side with Chu Zhongtian like those excellent players.

In addition, it is said that Wimbledon Athletics plans to invest a lot of money in the transfer market this summer. No one thinks that the goal of spending so much money is just to relegation, right?

Before, everyone thought Chu Zhongtian was just here to support his retirement, but as far as he saw, this team had a lot of plans.
Chapter completed!
