Vol 4 Chapter 1301: Ajax without hope

Entering September, ushered in a two-week national team game.
This time Yang Yang also received a call from the national team and returned to China to compete.
The opponents of the two World Cup qualifiers are not strong, first at home against Hong Kong, China, and then at home against the Maldives.
Among them, the second game to play Maldives was originally away, but because the conditions of the Maldives stadium can not meet the needs of the game, actively gave up their home advantage and came to play in China.
Since it is the top 40, the Chinese team is also doing their best to play this time, and strive to get the first place in the group as soon as possible.
The opponents are not strong. Under the situation that the main players are basically in place, the Chinese team is like a hurricane sweeping. First, they played against Hong Kong, China in Shenzhen. They scored four goals in the first half. Yang Yang played a hat trick early in the morning Was replaced.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated Hong Kong China 6-0 and won another big victory.
Then went north to Shenyang. The Chinese team opened nine minutes and Yang Yang scored a goal. In the 57th minute of the second half, he went to the next city and scored twice. Then he assisted Peng Peng scored a long shot to help China The team beat Maldives three to zero.
Two victories in two battles, plus a six-on-fight defeat to Bhutan in the first game, the Chinese team won all three games without losing a goal.
Qatar also won three games in a row. They defeated the Maldives one-on-one in the first game, then beat Bhutan 15-0 at home, and finally defeated Hong Kong China three-on-two. Qatar beat the Chinese team in the group's first goal.
This also sounded a warning bell for the Chinese team, that is Qatar will become a potential threat.
The following October, the Chinese team will challenge Qatar away, which will undoubtedly become the key battle of the top 40.
...
After playing the national team game, Yang Yang did not stay in the country, flew to Beijing with several national teammates, and then flew directly back to Europe from Beijing.
Having just returned to his home in Madrid, Wei Zheng, agents Laiola and Guido Alberts have been waiting at home for a long time, and Su Ye and Yang Yang's cousin Shen Yuzhu accompanied them.
When Yang Yang returned home, Su Ye accompanied Shen Yuzhu to take the children to play.
"How? Are there any results?"
Yang Yanggang asked as soon as he sat down, his tone very concerned.
This is a call he gave to Laiola and Wei Zheng after attending the UEFA awards ceremony, and explained to them a task. Over the past half month, they have been busy with this Things.
"A lot of information has been collected, it should be almost." Wei Zheng smiled.
He is also in charge of an investment team under his hands, many of whom are proficient in multinational acquisitions, plus Laiola, a super predator with amazing influence in European football, and Guido Al, the first agent in the Netherlands. With the assistance of Bass, Yang Yang's task was not difficult to complete.
Guido Alberts has a great relationship with Yang Yang. The earliest contact between the two people can be traced back to when Yang Yang was still playing in Ajax. Over the years, many Chinese players have landed in the Netherlands, and they are the channels for Guido Alberts , Which also makes Alberts earn a lot of money.
This time, Yang Yang wanted to get Ajax's intelligence.
"Frankly, I can't understand why you are so interested in Ajax. The current situation of this team is quite bad. The last time they advanced from the UEFA Champions League group stage to the knockout, it was still your last time playing for Ajax One year, that is, ten years ago, since then, they have missed the UEFA Champions League group match for four consecutive years, then won the group third for five consecutive years, participated in the UEFA Cup, and this year stopped in the third round. No playoffs will be possible. "
Laiola looked at Yang Yang inexplicably. Obviously from the perspective of a businessman, Yang Yang's interest in Ajax was difficult to understand.
"In the past few years, Ajax has been unable to make ends meet, and the financial situation is not ideal. Over the years, their most important sources of financial revenue are the Champions League and transfer income. This season, they have missed the Champions League group stage and have hit them very hard Big, the finances are bound to be further tightened, and may even lead to a vicious circle. "
Laiola's analysis is not difficult to understand.
European clubs have not had many income channels, usually divided into three parts, game day income, commercial sponsorship and broadcast fee income, which are the three major sources of income for all European football clubs.
The Premier League has seen a huge increase in transfer fee income in recent years, but in fact, the Premier League team basically does not make money, why?
Because the transfer is invested.
To ensure that you have a firm foothold in the Premier League, you need to increase your transfer investment.
It can be said that all their income from broadcasting rights is invested in the transfer market, and it is not even enough.
This is true of the Premier League, and basically the same for teams in other leagues.
If you insist on a team that makes money, it should be the team that is frequently promoted.
Very strange, right?
Just like the Premier League, from the British crown to the Premier League, you can get tens of millions or even more than 100 million pounds of revenue growth. In order to stay in the Premier League, newly promoted horses often put this money into the transfer market to increase The strength of recruitment is to strive to maintain the level. In many cases, the increased income is not as good as the investment in the transfer market.
However, there are some newly promoted horses who do not invest in the transfer market. They do not want to relegate, they just want to make a profit. They are downgraded after a season and enjoy the protection of the parachute policy of the Premier League. A stroke.
Such a team exists in almost every league, and it is not surprising.
It can be said that for European football teams, each has its own way of survival.
For the teams in the second-tier European league, their living methods are different from those in the first-tier four leagues.
For example, Ajax, their game day income is not high, and it is very stable, there is almost no room for growth, commercial sponsorship is limited by the influence of the league and the team, the room for growth is not large, and the broadcast fee income is also the same So.
Therefore, participating in the Champions League to obtain the competition bonus income has become very considerable.
There is also the income of selling players in the transfer market, which is also an important source of income for teams like Ajax.
Among them, if you want to get more in the transfer market, participating in the Champions League is undoubtedly the best display platform, and the two complement each other.
Now for Ajax, the worse thing is that they did not have any breakthroughs in the Champions League performance, but instead are declining, which led to their Champions League income becoming very very small, and the transfer market income is not optimistic. Selling people almost every year, the key is not selling good prices.
Last summer, the team ’s captain, the team ’s core player Blinder, sold to Manchester United only to earn 15 million euros, which can be said to be the price of cabbage, and then go back. The midfielder core Erickson went back Tottenham are only 12 million euros, the main defender van der Ville went to Paris Saint-Germain only 5.5 million euros, Alder Vereld went to Atletico Madrid only 6.3 million euros ...
It can be said that Ajax's transfer income is also quite pitiful.
This season, Ajax missed the UEFA Champions League group stage and lost at least 20 million euros. This is very fatal for Ajax, and it can even be said to be an irreparable financial hole.
"What's more terrible is that according to the data of the German authority, the most expensive player in the Ajax team is goalkeeper Silessen, only seven million euros." Raiola said when he came here, his hands were shared. , Seems very helpless.
It is not difficult to see from his tone, his evaluation of Ajax is that this is a team that can't see hope.
At the very least, there is no hope in a short time.
Not only that, missed the Champions League this season, the team ’s finances will be further greatly affected, under the chain reaction, Ajax is bound to sell people to raise money during the winter break or next summer, which will further weaken the team ’s competition Force, and then show weakness ...
This is the vicious circle Laiola called.
It can be said that this is something that has a fairly high probability of happening.
...
Laiola is undoubtedly an extremely savvy person, otherwise he will not be mixed up with his status today. His in-depth analysis is reasonable and sounds the alarm for Yang Yang. At the same time, he also reminds him that Ajax is A quagmire, be careful.
Yang Yang pondered for a while, then turned to look at Guido Alberts, who also wanted to hear what the Dutch agent said.
Although Guido Alberts is not Yang Yang's agent, the two have been in contact for many years and have a great relationship. When Yang Yang first developed interest in Ajax, he was looking for Alberts to understand the situation.
"Ajax ’s downturn has been around for a long time. The golden generation led by you, van der Vaart, Ibrahimović and Sneijder was actually the funds raised from the listing of Ajax in 1998. So far, they are the only listed football club in the Netherlands, which has reached 113 million euros. "
"It was with this money that they quickly formed a strong team. Under the leadership of Ronald Coman, they set off a youth storm in European football and won a Champions League, but In fact, in those years, the club operated poorly financially, including the failure to develop the African market, and suffered heavy losses, such as Cape Town Ajax. "
"Originally relying on the afterglow of the golden generation, they can still barely maintain, but they are not reconciled, they always want to regroup and win another Champions League in five years, that is the slogan that Ajax shouted, Van Basten is also in In this case, high hopes came to Ajax, but it was followed by a crash. "
When Guido Alberts said this, he paused for a moment and looked at Yang Yang deeply.
He knew that Yang Yang and Van Basten had a relationship, and he was considering his own words. Obviously, he did not want to describe too much about Van Basten, so as not to leave a bad impression on Yang Yang.
But some things have already happened and are destined to be unchangeable.
"Although this may be unfair to Van Basten, we must admit that Ajax's decline over the years has an inseparable relationship with him."
Yang Yang really frowned deeply.
