Chapter 497 Satellite Club System (3)
"Well, let me think about it... My personal suggestion is that if you develop satellite clubs in the five major leagues, you should first consider those teams that have a tradition of cultivating young players but are relatively weak in finance, so that it will help us Florence control them; as for the leagues in other small and medium-sized countries, you can choose more powerful teams with high popularity. Due to the different league level and popularity, these teams are far inferior to our Florence in terms of attractiveness to players." Antonioni gave an answer to the question raised by his boss after a little consideration.
"In France, Monaco, which has signed a commissioned training agreement with us, is quite good. I believe that the Monaco club is willing to add another fiscal revenue; in Belgium, I personally think Anderlecht is more suitable for this role. If the other party is unwilling to become our satellite team, the standard Liège and Bruges clubs that are slightly less famous in Belgium are also a good choice; in Portugal, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Porto, the traditional three teams are very suitable for us. We can talk to these three clubs and then choose the best from them."
"So, what about Spain and Germany? You just mentioned the benefits of these two countries, why don't you mention them now?" Zhuang Mingge still remembered the special treatment of Latin American and Eastern European players in these two countries that Antonioni mentioned before, so he asked.
You should know that Latin American and Eastern European players with high quality and low price are a big force in European football, both now and in the future. If they can master some of the resources by setting up satellite clubs in Spain and Germany, it will be quite beneficial to the future of Florence.
"Sorry, boss, I didn't think of any suitable team for our choice in these two countries." Antonioni shrugged helplessly. "For Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona are too strong. Although Atletico Madrid, Valencia, La Coruña and other teams have frequently challenged their hegemony in the past two years, they still cannot shake the special status of these two clubs in Spain. Moreover, these two giants regard Spain as their back garden, so I don't think Real Madrid and Barcelona will agree that we will extend our tentacles into the acre of three-point land they control."
Although Zhuang Mingge knew that Real Madrid and Barcelona had a superior status in Spain, he did not expect that these two clubs would be so awesome in Spain. It was not until today that he truly realized this when Antonioni said this. Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but feel a little upset. If he had known this, he wouldn't have cheated Real Madrid like this.
Real Madrid now has little good feelings for Florence. After all, this Italian giant first poached Redondo from Real Madrid, and then robbed Robert Carlos, who they originally planned to introduce. This summer, he took away Brazilian young player Ze Roberto with low prices. With these new and old hatreds intertwined, Real Madrid will definitely interfere with Florence's construction of a satellite club in Spain.
Don't underestimate the energy of Real Madrid. In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, Real Madrid could even ignore the protests of other teams in order to celebrate the club's victory, and asked the Spanish Football Association to force the time of the Cup final to March 6 when the club was established. Even the venue was changed to Real Madrid's home court, Bernabeu Stadium.
However, this wishful thinking of "promoting a tribute to the club's century-old birthday with a Cup of del Rey" was disturbed by Super Laco at the time, and slapped Real Madrid hard in the face, making this club, known as the "best of the century", almost become a laughing stock in Europe.
As for Barcelona, Zhuang Mingge has no intention of dealing with the other party. Although he has a little friendship with Cruyff, this relationship alone cannot allow Barcelona to agree to the Italian ball club in Florence, which originally belonged to them, not to mention that building a satellite team in the Catalonia region is quite risky.
Zhuang Mingge is very clear about how xenophobic Barcelona, as the representative of the Catalonian region, is. Not to mention anything else, even when Van Gaal led Barcelona to complete the league championship in his previous life, Barcelona fans and media have never stopped criticizing the Dutch, and the reason is that Van Gaal attached too much importance to his Dutch fellow villagers and old subordinates and ignored players from Barcelona.
Therefore, if Florence wants to build a second-class satellite club in Spain, it is probably a long way off. The biggest possibility is to build a first-class satellite team, that is, sign a commissioned training agreement with several mid-season clubs, and loan some good seedlings from South America to accept the training of the top leagues, and then make profits from it.
"The situation in Germany is similar to that in Spain. The entire German football world is almost completely under the shadow of Bayern Munich. All the teams that can threaten Bayern in the league have been poached by Bayern using various means, from the previous Borussia Mönchengladbach (Mateus was poached) to later Bremen (Basler was poached), and to the Stuttgart striker Elber who has been rumored to have sex with Bayern now... If Summer had not retired early due to injury, he would have been poached to Munich to take over Matteus's team this summer." Antonioni was also helpless about the current situation of German football. In his opinion, it was incredible that the top European leagues like the Bundesliga would actually be dominant. "Under this situation, I'm afraid even if we build a satellite club in Germany, it would only be a wedding dress for Bayern Munich."
"If this is true, then it seems that we, Florence, can only find several teams in Spain and Germany to sign a commissioned training agreement." After hearing Antonioni's explanation, Zhuang Mingge sighed and expressed his views on the club's construction of satellite clubs in Germany and Spain.
Although he helped Beckenbauer a lot before, Zhuang Mingge would not take it for granted that if Florence really chose a satellite club in Germany, the football emperor, as the chairman of Bayern Munich, could withstand promises and temptations and not attack a large number of potential newcomers in the satellite team.
Judging from Bayern's style of dominating the Bundesliga, the possibility of not being able to ** these players is very small.
Therefore, Zhuang Mingge had to temporarily put aside the idea of building a second-class satellite team in Spain and Germany, but he was still a little depressed.
Could it be that Florence can only give up the high-quality resources in Latin America and Eastern Europe, and can only select the most promising people from them?
