There is no doubt that Ma Yun is a super realistic person.
It can also be said that Ma Yun is a person who puts interests first.
He never talks about feelings, he just sees whether he can achieve his goal.
After Ma Yun became an entrepreneurial mentor, what he said was actually nonsense, and he didn't value those things at all.
From the moment Ma Yun took the risk of going against the whole Wall Street and abruptly separated Zifu Bao from Taobao.com and put it under his own name, you know how tenacious this person is and how uninfluenced he is by others.
Therefore, Ma Yun wants to invest in a football club. Although it is for the sake of Alibaba, especially Tao Bao, he absolutely does not accept the model of only burning money but not making money. At least he can be around the break-even point. This is what he reluctantly does.
Acceptable.
Otherwise, according to the habits of Chinese people, Italian teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus, which are super emotional teams, are the most popular.
Especially the first two teams, basically as the financial crisis continues to spread, they have reached a very difficult point.
Of course, the situations between the two are different.
Inter Milan is really out of money because of Moratti. The Moratti family only has a family income of about 3 billion euros. The eldest brother supported his younger brother and squandered as much as 1.2 billion euros on football, and it was all filled in, without a single point.
money in return.
Faced with the financial crisis and the plummeting oil prices, the Moratti family, which was based in the oil industry, really had no choice. Therefore, although they won the long-awaited Champions League last year, their facelift also fell apart, and they no longer had much strength to fight.
, can be called the final glory.
AC Milan is even more speechless. Lao Bei is the richest man in Italy. Not to mention his net worth of more than 8 billion euros, AC Milan's operation is better than that of Inter Milan. One person is more than enough to support the whole team of Inter Milan. Moreover, their
The players were still sold at high prices and left...but Lao Bei simply didn't want to invest in football anymore, and he didn't want to spend the money, so he fell into the low-income bracket.
Juventus basically doesn't need to think about it. They are building the only football stadium in Italy that belongs to the team, and it is backed by Fiat, Italy's largest group. This group is not just about cars, it is similar to South Korea's Samsung.
, it can be said that it is so rich and powerful that there is no need for others to buy it.
It has been more than 20 years since the Italian league was broadcast in China, and generations of fans have been cultivated. It should be said that buying their team will definitely cause an absolute craze in China and have the best advertising effect.
But Ma Yun doesn't think so at all. Italy's football style has lagged behind. People are more willing to watch the Premier League, which has a fierce collision, and Spain, which has technical schools. Moreover, these two leagues have many stars and superstars, and young people like them very much.
.
Also, the Premier League doesn’t lose much money, but Italy is constantly losing tens of millions or hundreds of millions of euros a year. Who has so much money for you to squander?
The most important thing is that Italy is very xenophobic. If you want to buy their team, there are so many restrictions and shady stories that even the richest people in their own country can't play. If foreigners go, they can only
Being played to death.
This is because the UK is the most open, open and fair. They welcome foreign capital to enter. As long as you can make the Premier League team active, countless people will like it, and there will be fame, broadcast fees, advertising sponsorships, etc.
That’s it for everything.
Therefore, the Premier League is now the number one league in the world, with influence spread across five continents.
If Ma Yun chooses, he must choose such a league to achieve the effect he wants.
"If it's your idea, I think you can buy a mid-to-lower team." Xiao Qi said: "First of all, the money is not so much, and you can spend more money on where you should put your efforts;
Secondly, there won’t be so much performance pressure.”
"Well, I'm looking at Sunderland, Tottenham, and West Ham United. Basically, they are in the middle and lower reaches every year." Ma Yun said, "But I don't know which one to choose. Their
The conditions are basically good.”
"It doesn't matter which team you choose, but it's best to choose a London team." Xiao Qi suggested: "For example, Sunderland is not very suitable. It must be an international metropolis to host a team.
culture and atmosphere.”
"Okay, I understand." Ma Yun nodded. As for whether he should follow Xiao Qi's suggestion, that's not necessarily the case.
"Another point is that whether it is Serie A or the Premier League, the most important thing is the head coach. A good head coach can turn corruption into magic, and a bad head coach can make all the superstars relegated." Xiao
Qidao: "Famous examples are people like Mourinho, Deschamps, and Guardiola."
"I like Mourinho very much, but he has just been snatched away by Real Madrid. It's a pity." Ma Yun said: "Qi Shao, do you have any good candidates? How about you send Lippi here for a few years?"
"
Xiao Qi couldn't help but laughed and said: "Are you poaching? Lippi, I will spend at least three years here to consolidate the Sichuan Fairies team, but I can't give it to you."
Ma Yun did not feel regretful, and then added: "Then which one do you think is better for me among Capello, Hiddink, Van Gaal and Ancelotti?"
Xiao Qi replied without thinking: "Capello is one of the most famous hard-core coaches in Italy. What he advocates most is the 1:0 doctrine. Watching his team play will definitely not be very good, but generally you can get good results."
Even if he is a weak team, he can qualify for the Champions League. However, there are a few points to note. First of all, he has a bad temper and is very bossy. If you meet ordinary players, it will be fine. If you meet superstars, you can refer to
What happened to him at Real Madrid. And then there is another thing. The Premier League is a team that advocates offense. If the new team is out of tune because of Capello, it will be under a lot of pressure.
Hiddink is known as a magical coach, with excellent coaching ability and very good adaptability. In this regard, he is the same as Van Gaal. But as the glory of the Netherlands has faded, their coaching style
Still unable to achieve the greatest success, this can be seen from their coaching performance in recent years.
Among the four, the most outstanding one is Ancelotti. He not only has excellent Italian tactical qualities, but also has the best coordination ability. When he was in AC Milan, he could take the blame no matter what players were bought or sold.
He serves food, prepares a nice banquet, and won’t complain to the club. Moreover, he is particularly good at training and coaching young players, and has his own excellent method for the Champions League. If you have to choose one among the four, choose
Ancelotti is definitely a choice he will not regret."
Ma Yun is also a smart person. On the one hand, he admires Xiao Qi for knowing so much about football. On the other hand, he also sees Xiao Qi's unfinished intentions.
"I hear what you mean, is there someone better to recommend to me?" Ma Yun asked curiously.
"yes."
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "I have a very good candidate, which can be said to be the new Mourinho. If you take it, don't dare to say more. In the next ten years, the team will not be short of champions."
sprint, and it’s the Champions League and the league together.”
"who?"
Ma Yun became interested.
Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Do you know the person who caused Beckham to be expelled with a red card?"
"Argentina, Simeone!" Ma Yun replied without thinking.
Then he was suddenly startled, "You said he was a good head coach, right? What is he doing now?"
Xiao Qidao: "For any player to become a good head coach, there is an important prerequisite, that is, he is a midfielder or a defensive player. Simeone is an Argentine strongman who is good at midfield defense and organizational breakthroughs.
Therefore, he has a strong enough overall view and perseverance, and these are indispensable parts of a football coach.
Now Simeone has been coaching Argentina's top club River Plate and has won several championships. Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that if you go to see the team he coaches, you will find that this
The team is full of energy and aura. Although the players are not famous, they can work together as a whole and constantly strive for victory. Therefore, Simeone has the potential to become a good coach.
Moreover, Simeone is only 41 years old now, and he is in the prime of life and full of energy. If you ask him to coach a Premier League team with our financial support, we guarantee that he can give you unimaginable rich returns."
"It's rare to hear you say such an evaluation of a person, even though he is only in the field of football." Ma Yun sighed, and his face became slightly more serious. "Before, I was mainly considering Capello and Ancelo.
Di, European experts suggested that I choose Capello. He will definitely bring me a place in the Champions League in the first season. But the experts in China are more inclined to Ancelotti, because Ancelotti
Longer. But, compared to them, I trust your vision more than them. If you think Simeone can do it, I will carefully examine him when I get back here."
"A good coach will make people admire him from the bottom of his heart." Xiao Qidao, "Your staff should not just collect information. It is best to go to Argentina to watch his team's performance in more games, so that you can learn more about it."
A good and more objective evaluation of Simeone's abilities."
Ma Yun nodded, then said strangely: "Since Mr. Qi is so optimistic about Simeone, why not let him take over from Lippi in two years? He must be better than Gao Bo, right?"
"The eagle shouldn't just play with the chickens." Xiao Qi smiled, "It would be a waste for top talents like Simeone not to go to Europe. And it would be a waste of talents to compete in Asia. I
I hope to see my Alibaba Group achieve better results under his leadership!"
Ma Yun frowned. He felt a little uncomfortable when Xiao Qi said "my Alibaba", but he had to admit that he was just a founder, and Xiao Qi was the owner of Alibaba Group.
Although Ma Yun is in charge of Alibaba Group, if this point is forgotten, great conflicts will arise.
If it were someone else, Ma Yun could still think of ways to fight for some power, but now he was facing the extremely powerful Xiao Qi, and Ma Yun didn't dare to have those small thoughts.
And only an idiot would say this to the owner of the company. No matter how powerful the professional managers are, there is no way to seize the company's shares. Who says capital is king now?
Thinking of this, Ma Yun felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Let alone the past, even now, as long as Xiao Qi spends hundreds of billions to invest, I'm afraid Alibaba's shareholders will not be able to refuse his acquisition, right?
When you have too much money to a certain extent, in this business society, you will often have no disadvantages!
(I don’t know if many people like Simeone, haha. Please subscribe more brothers!) (~^~)
