Vol 4 Chapter 1407: The Age of Giants [Wish you a happy new year! 】

In recent years, there has been a voice in European football that professional football is entering the era of oligarchs.
From the perspective of the club, Real Madrid has almost monopolized all the Champions League and World Club championships in recent years. This behemoth has a nearly unattainable attitude and strongly suppresses the entire European football field. No team can match it. Match.
From the star's point of view, Yang Yang has ruled world football for ten years since 2007. In this process, European football has not been born without heroes, such as Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Ribery, Neymar, Suarez, Griezmann and a series of stars, but no one can take him off the throne.
This is an era of oligarchs and an era of giants.
The most obvious reaction is that if someone asks questions before the season, who will win the Champions League in the new season?
The vast majority of fans will not choose more than five teams, and basically they are those.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern ... who else?
What is the reason for European professional football to quickly enter the oligarchy era?
The answer is simple, capital!
Strictly speaking, Florentino was in charge of Real Madrid for the first time, fully promoting the Galaxy Battleship, turning Real Madrid into a global top giant, and conquering fans around the world. European professional football began to enter the era of globalization. Manchester United, Bayern Munich and other giants with excellent business capabilities quickly followed up.
Abramovich entered Stamford Bridge, the Abu Dhabi consortium acquired Manchester City, and then the Qatar consortium acquired Paris Saint-Germain. The global investment shortage caused by the subprime mortgage crisis led to the influx of hot money into professional football and the prosperity of the Internet. The pace of globalization is rapidly accelerating, which has led to the top European teams quickly harvesting the global market.
In the league, the best is the Premier League. In the past few years, the overseas copyright income of the Premier League has become a vital part, and its importance is not inferior to their local copyright income.
In terms of clubs, of course, it is the famous football team that fans are familiar with. They began to use their influence and popularity to quickly open the global market. This can be seen from their annual operating income.
But even now, running a professional football club is not a profitable business.
Perhaps many people will be wondering, how is this possible?
The big teams earn so much money every year, Real Madrid can earn 10 to 20 million euros in three warm-up matches in Asia. Are these teams not making money? What are you kidding?
But in fact, it does not make money, at least far less than the fans imagined to make money.
Then the question arises. On the one hand, the revenue of the giants is rising, but on the other hand, the giants do not make money. Where does the money go?
The answer is very simple, they are used to build the moat of the giants.
The so-called moat is the field used by the giants to open the gap with other mid- and downstream teams.
On the one hand, the giants are frantically searching for high-quality star resources and investing madly in the transfer market. Real Madrid is the leader among them. In the first phase of the Galaxy Warship in the early century, Florentino did this once and again. Entering the palace in the second year of the year, he introduced the top stars of the Premier League and Serie A in two breaths.
If, in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship at the beginning of the century, only the Real Madrid family is doing this, and the trend of oligarchs is not as obvious as it is now, then since 2009, with the crazy investment of Real Madrid, Barcelona has also followed closely. The poor local teams Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain quickly followed, and this is why European star resources have become increasingly concentrated.
Why do we now predict the Champions League championship, basically can not be separated from those teams?
Because the best players are in these teams.
The best stars gather, bringing the most pleasing football, bringing the best watching experience for the fans, but also bringing a performance improvement, which is not available to other small and medium teams, even non-oligarch teams Advantage.
So, after the legendary victory of the Premier League Leicester City last season, this team quickly fell apart.
Not only the Leicester City team, but also Dortmund and Atletico Madrid with insufficient financial resources. These teams have also been quickly hollowed out by the giants after the outbreak of one or two seasons.
why?
Because they are not at the top of the professional football pyramid because they have no money!
Many people say that Manchester United has fallen, but in fact, everyone knows that the rise of Manchester United is only a matter of time, because this team is too rich.
As long as there is no problem with the operation of Manchester United and there is no major decline in operating income, they will rise sooner or later.
Therefore, when the star resources continue to converge towards the giants, it is inevitable that the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker situation, and even stabilized.
...
The star resources are only part of the moat of the giants, or the most easily seen part by the fans.
But what is even more terrible than this gap is the more disparity behind the star resources, which is not seen by ordinary fans, and is also the part Yang Yang is committed to building after injecting 50 million euros for Ajax.
For example, Real Madrid.
Many people are wondering, how did Yang Yang decide to lose weight?
It is reported in the media that Real Madrid has created a ten-member expert group for Yang Yang. There are three coaches and team doctors from Real Madrid and a personal coach of Yang Yang. What about the other six people?
They are all the most authoritative experts in various fields in Europe and even the world, including nutrition experts, kinematics experts, and research authorities in human science ...
It is these experts who followed up for more than half a year in order to formulate the most scientific training program for Yang Yang, and finally reached a conclusion to let him lose weight, and even made it clear that how many kilograms to lose weight is reasonable, and Yang Yang received How to play football when you come down, and rest immediately as soon as any symptoms appear ...
In addition, Real Madrid has specially equipped Yang Yang with a tracking physiotherapy expert and nutritionist. The former is responsible for physiotherapy and testing before and after training, and the latter tracks Yang Yang's daily diet.
This alone is a huge expense, and what Yang Yang has achieved so far this season is still scoring goals, and his status is still red and purple.
The team behind Yang Yang is not seen by the fans at all, even media reporters who do not have in-depth contact with Real Madrid are completely unclear, and what is less familiar is that Real Madrid has only 500 employees in Valdebebas. .
Very scary, right?
Of these 500 people, less than 100 are really engaged in football. The others are all experts from all walks of life. They are in charge of different departments, such as the head of the sports science department, the head of the health and sports department, the head of the physiotherapy department, etc. The physical therapy department is subdivided into many different small departments, and the medical department is also divided into many different small departments. Each small department has its own scope of responsibilities and areas of expertise.
Now Real Madrid ’s daily management has even been meticulous. When the team arrived on the road, someone had already arranged the hotel room for each player according to their living habits. After they arrived at the hotel, they could do it the first time. Enter a relaxed state of rest.
And all of this is invisible to the media and the fans, but these are silently keeping the club of Real Madrid in operation and pushing the team of Real Madrid to dominate the football field.
This is true of Real Madrid, as are other teams such as Barcelona, ​​Bayern, and Atletico. Many big-name superstars are willing to switch to the giants, not only because of the money and the name, but also the support and services that the giants can provide to them. .
In other words, they really let players do their best to play football.
On the other hand, in La Liga, what can the newly promoted Leganes offer to the players?
It can be said that these teams in the middle and lower reaches, even Valencia, Sevilla and other powerhouses, have not seen them have the opportunity to surpass the giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona for at least ten or twenty years The resources of the stars they have worked will continue to gather towards the giants.
And when the team has better star resources, the management level is higher and higher, and the tactics are more and more complex and changeable, it will bring an obvious problem, that is, the number of big score games will be more and more.
At first, the strong teams crushed the weak teams, but gradually, in the strong dialogue, when a certain team has a very obvious shortcoming in a certain aspect, it will immediately crash.
Even if it does not crash itself, it will definitely be chased by opponents until it crashes.
It's like Barcelona tonight in the derby of the century.
The weak back line, the hardly supported midfielder, the failed right back, the tear caused by the trident star's unwillingness to return to the defense ... these are very fatal issues.
In the midstream and downstream teams, even in front of Atletico Madrid, these do not seem to be a problem, because they are not strong enough.
But in front of Real Madrid, these are the deadliest weaknesses.
So, when Real Madrid continued to attack Barcelona's weakness, Barcelona couldn't even stop it, and even Messi began to make some mistakes that should not have happened.
…………
…………
In the 40th minute, Messi retreated to the midfield to take the ball and wanted to push forward.
In the past, Messi's ability to dribble is well known. When the ball reaches his feet, it's basically someone who can't walk away.
But this time, under the tandem of David Silva and Casemiro, Messi's ball was cut off by Casemiro and David Silva quickly passed forward Gave Hazard.
Hazard led the ball straight into the drive and quickly divided back to the left. Yang Yang inserted the left side of the penalty area diagonally from the middle. After catching Hazard's pass, a left foot volley.
The ball clung to the turf, rubbed the left post, and got into Barcelona's goal.
Five to zero!
Big four!
After Yang Yang scored the goal, the whole person quickly rushed out of the court, slid all the way to the front of the live camera, and shouted frantically at the live TV camera.
crazy!
The entire Camp Nou stadium is completely crazy!
All Barcelona fans got up from their seats, countless fans in the stands were throwing debris down the stage, the whole audience was deafening boos, obviously obviously dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
What does it mean to be defeated?
This is!
