574 Castia's Eagle

Anyone who sees the Bernabeu Stadium will be the first reaction to say, Oh my God, how much is this stadium worth?

This can even be said to be the most valuable stadium in the world, because it stands in the center of Madrid's most prosperous financial district, and it stands like a behemoth.

It is said that when this stadium was built, it was still a suburb, and the land was worth about 10,000 euros, but now it has exceeded 500 million. It is conceivable how much the price of land has increased in Madrid in the past few decades.

In order to facilitate contact and negotiation, Yang Cheng lived in a hotel near the Bernabeu Stadium, but when he officially announced his entry into the Bernabeu, he would move to a five-star hotel near the airport, which was very close to Real Madrid's Valdebebas training base and could be reached on foot.

Lunch was eaten at Raul's house. His wife just left a pair of twin sons last year. Now the Real Madrid captain has a total of 4 sons and is full of people. Joaquin Torres also rushed to Raul's house and said he wanted to meet his idol, so the lunch was very lively.

Joaquin Torres didn't bother with the matter. Yang Cheng wanted to buy it, so he sold it, but the specific details need to be discussed again. After all, this is a private luxury house worth millions of euros, and it is still under construction. There will definitely be many procedures to deal with, and Yang Cheng will also make some requirements.

After lunch, Yang Cheng asked Raul to drive Charlize Theron and his son back to the hotel. Then they headed north and prepared to go to the Valdebebas training base. When they passed the Bernabeu Stadium on the way, Yang Cheng expressed such feelings.

"The Bernabeu will be the greatest chairman in Real Madrid's history, and he has left many precious legacy for Real Madrid." In Raul's Audi rs6, the captain of Real Madrid also said proudly.

Yang Cheng nodded. During Sans's administration, Real Madrid's debt reached 270 million yuan, and later it was only relied on selling land.

"By the way, where is the old sports city?" Yang Cheng asked strangely.

"More than a kilometer in front!" Raul pointed ahead.

After walking forward about a little over a kilometer, I arrived at a four-way intersection. I saw a project on the west side of the overpass at the intersection. The road surface was surrounded by building walls. You can see the logo of the ACS Construction Company under the charge of Florentino.

"There is the old sports city, which will become a city mark in Madrid in the future!" Raul said while driving.

Yang Cheng looked around and found that it was already very prosperous, and it was the city center and a highly developed commercial area. The value can be imagined.

"You must be wondering if there is something wrong with the deal in Sports City, right?" Raul grinned.

Yang Cheng did not deny it and nodded, and everyone outside was doubting this.

"In fact, Madrid government had already formulated a plan as early as 1998. The sports city was relatively old at that time, and it was inconsistent with the image of the financial and commercial district planned by the municipal government. They proposed to requisition the sports city at that time, but no agreement was reached during the negotiations. After Florentino came to power, he won the greatest interests for Real Madrid."

Yang Cheng noticed one thing, when Raul mentioned Florentino, his expression was very complicated.

"The area of ​​the sports city is 110,000 square meters, which is indeed high at a price of 480 million euros. But you should know that the municipal fu took the initiative to buy it and must satisfy Real Madrid in terms of price. And at that time, they did not use all the cash to repay their debts, including the land near the Madrid Airport, which is nearly ten times the area of ​​the old sports city, but the value is very low."

"In addition to Valdebebas, in the southwest of Madrid, the government also set a land of 70,000 square meters. The value in 2000 was 500,000 euros because it was a ten-thousandth place at that time, but now the subway is open, and many real estate developers have poured in there. Now the value there is more than 15 million euros, which has increased 30 times!"

"But it's obvious that the municipal fu wants to cheat on this land. Florentino is arguing with them!" Raul smiled, "As for the old sports city, four modern skyscrapers will be built there, four unique skyscrapers in downtown Madrid, and will be Madrid's landmark buildings."

After hearing Raul's words, Yang Cheng understood.

After all, it is not whether there is any trick or not. It is because the municipal government needs to expropriate land and need to take out enough chips to impress Real Madrid. The money must exceed the market price. This is the minimum business rule. You must buy it. If I don’t want to sell it, then you have to give a higher price to impress me. Of course, this is based on the fact that Madrid government does not dare to demolish Real Madrid for forced relocation.

Therefore, Madrid Municipal Government will definitely not be able to win the Sports City at the market price unless Real Madrid is stupid. This is the truth that everyone understands, so there is no political enterprise deliberately purchasing land at a high price to fill the gap in Real Madrid.

As for whether that piece of land is necessary, check the Bernabeu Stadium and the Four Towers Commercial District on the map, and combine it with the land value of the city center of the domestic capital city, it is not difficult to think about whether it is cost-effective to buy a 110,000 square meter of land for 480 million euros.

Perhaps the only thing that can be complained about is that there is such a good chairman in Real Madrid in history. He bought such a large amount of land in Madrid in advance, which led to the subsequent act of selling land.

However, when I really left the city and drove towards Barajas Airport, there was a slight dime around. It seemed that many Real Madrid fans criticized Florentino for making sense, because it was indeed desolate, close to the airport.

"Baldebebas is surrounded by residential and commercial areas planned by the government. In the north, it is the second richest area in Madrid after Pozueno de Aralcon. It has begun to build villas and high-end residences. In another ten years, this will be another prosperous area in Madrid." Raul introduced with a smile.

Yang Cheng couldn't help but secretly talk, he said, if the land price here soared again ten years later, how much would this land worth more than one million square meters? And there was also the commercial corner of the Bernabeu and the 70,000 square meters of land that was still arguing with the municipal government, which would have become a big landlord.

"I am really a capable person who plays with capital!" Yang Cheng sighed.

He was really convinced!

Selling the Sports City, I got a large amount of cash to repay my debts, and at the same time I received several lands with great appreciation potential. Florentino is constantly expanding the value of fixed assets in Real Madrid. Not to mention, the Valdebebas training base and the construction of the Distefano Stadium used by the second team will not use half of the land. If the value here appreciates in the future, renting out other lands will be a large amount of pure rental income a year.

Smart people can see far. If Florentino is not that long-term, who would give up the city where every inch of land is valuable and come to this unlucky suburb?

Raul smiled unanimously, and it could be seen that his favorable impression of Florentino was limited to the capital field.

"Here!" Raul pointed to the front and said.

Yang Cheng looked over and suddenly found a huge sign like a sailboat standing on the side of the island in front. The two words welcome were written in 8 languages, including Japanese and Yang Cheng's most familiar Chinese. The two Chinese welcomes him feel very familiar and comfortable.

The surroundings are indeed empty, without even a single hair, and there is not even a grass. If I hadn't come from downtown Madrid in person, I just looked at the photos at Chuchu and would have suspected that Real Madrid had built the training base in the Sahara Desert.

After passing the welcome sign, we entered Real Madrid's security system.

It can be seen that the security guards here are doing well and all kinds of testing instruments are being used. Although they recognized Raul's license plate, the security team did not release it, but stopped Raul's car.

"What's going on?" Raul obviously hadn't received such treatment and pressed the electric window.

"No, captain, we just want to take a look. Is this Caesar?" One of the sturdy security guards walked over with a smile and bent down on the car window so that they could see Yang Cheng clearly. "Hello, I am the team leader of Real Madrid security team, you can call me Juan!"

Yang Cheng took the initiative to reach out and said, "Hello, Juan!"

Juan laughed and shook hands with Yang Cheng, and pointed inside, "Pili and Butragno have arrived a long time ago, probably in the head coach's office, you guys go quickly!" After saying that, he shouted at his colleagues.

After Yang Cheng walked away in Raul's car, he could hear them talking loudly behind him, and without exception, he was envious of Juan. Although he was a Real Madrid security team and was used to seeing big-name stars and world-renowned coaches, in their opinion, Yang Cheng was somewhat different from other head coaches.

He is the no.1 in the world!

"Jose! Emilio!" Yang Cheng had just got off the car and walked into Real Madrid's training building. He saw Piri and Butragno coming up. It was obvious that Yang Cheng had called and informed him that he would come to Valdebebas in the afternoon, so they rushed over.

There are still some details of the negotiations that have not been completed, such as Yang Cheng’s salary and bonus benefits, which should have been the easiest to negotiate, because Yang Cheng’s salary requirements are actually not high, but if he intervenes in the two sponsors, Adidas and Audi, the situation will be more complicated.

The salary Florentino provides to Yang Cheng will reach 15 million euros after tax, part of which is completed by these two sponsors, and the two sponsors also hope to negotiate a personal sponsorship contract with Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng's image rights are all controlled by his own hands, which requires additional sponsorship fees.

In addition to Adidas and Audi, several other Real Madrid sponsors are very interested in Yang Cheng, and they also hope to intervene in this negotiation. If all of them are agreed, Yang Cheng's annual income in Real Madrid will exceed 30 million euros. This can be said to be a sky-high price in the football field, exceeding more than one street than Mourinho, and Beckham, who has the highest salary among players, can only be compared.

The contract period is 3 years, because Yang Cheng feels that in the current situation of Real Madrid, he must have a long-term plan and he needs to get a guarantee. Of course, as before, he has the right to terminate the contract by himself during the contract period.

…………

…………

The first impression that the Bardebebas training base gives people is that it is big, really big.

In addition to the first team of Real Madrid, there are also youth teams and youth training systems, which are all trained here. The Distefano Stadium under construction at the entrance will be Castia's home court.

This Real Madrid second team was relegated from the Segunda League in 1997, but rose back in 2005. It is currently ranked in the middle of the Segunda League. Since Real Madrid is in La Liga, Castia is destined to be unable to upgrade, so they have become greedy and wantless.

The final round of the Spanish Second League will not be completed until June 18. The players are still training. When Yang Cheng arrived, accompanied by Piri and Butragino, he directly entered the training building where the second team is located, which is separated from the first team's training building.

Do you know how Mourinho later described the size of the training base in Valdebebas?

He said that before the 2010 Champions League final, Inter Milan and Bayern were training at this training base, but they never met each other. How old do you think they are!

Of course, this statement is a bit like a joke, a little exaggerated.

"I'll inform their head coach!" Yang Cheng stood outside and stopped everyone who wanted to go in directly.

Piri and Butragino were stunned, while Raul showed deep thoughts and looked at Yang Cheng with complicated eyes, but no one opposed it.

Soon, Castia's interim coach Alessandro Menides came out.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Alessandro Menides greeted Yang Cheng. The first impression this Spaniard gave people was very sad. It can be seen that Castia's situation recently made him very worried.

In the past five years, Castia's head coach is Carlo, and the team's performance has always been relatively stable. Last season, he even advanced to the Spanish Second Division. However, after Lucemberg was dismissed, Carlo went to the first team to put out the fire. Pottugal, who used to be a Real Madrid scout, began to take charge of the second team, with good results.

However, before the La Liga ended, Portugar redirected to Santander, leaving Castia without a leader, so Alessandro Menides was temporarily promoted to the firefighting coach.

Yang Cheng really thinks this phenomenon is very interesting. From the first team to the second team, there are frequent changes in coaches. There are a lot of fire-fighting coaches, and I'm afraid that only Real Madrid will do this in the world.

The kids from the second team were all resting, but when they heard that the first team coach Yang Cheng came to Valdebebas and came to visit them again, they all became very happy and rushed out just to see Yang Cheng's true appearance.

"Hello, young men!" Yang Cheng waved at them with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" The boys all responded politely, this is the Real Madrid coach in the next few years.

Yang Cheng walked over slowly, nodded, and pointed at one of the tall men, "Alvaro Negredo!"

"Yes, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Negredo was stunned at first, nodded immediately to respond, looking very excited.

"Juan Manuel Mata Garcia!" He pointed to a shorter player beside him. He was the world-renowned left winger, Mata, who later joined Valencia, became a Spanish international, and then turned to Chelsea.

"Yes, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Mata answered with great trembling.

"Miguel Torres, Xavi Garcia, Ruben de la Reed, Avalo Averoa, Esteban Granero, Roberto Soldado..."

I saw Yang Cheng coming over a group of kids, knowing every player in the second team as he knew it well. He even recognized Daniel Parejo, who had just been transferred from the youth team a few days ago.

For some reason, Piri and Butragino suddenly watched Yang Cheng say this to these young players. They actually felt like they wanted to cry, because no Real Madrid head coach would take the initiative to come to the youth team to inspect before he took office, and he also knew every youth team player as he knew.

"Boys, I heard that you performed poorly recently?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

All of these kids were a little ashamed. It was really messy. After all, there were so many head coaches.

"We are Real Madrid, boys!" Yang Cheng looked at the group of little ghosts in front of him, "Whether in the first team or in the second team, you have to work hard and kill the opponents so that you will not insult the team badge on your chest. That is our pride!"

I had heard that Yang Cheng was a die-hard fan of Real Madrid. When I heard him say this, the boys were all excited.

"I will go to the scene to see the away game against Lerida on the 28th. You all have to work harder. If you don't take it down, I will definitely deal with you when I come back!" Yang Cheng seemed to be intimidating.

This made these little kids laugh, but they all nodded and agreed.

"In return, if you have a way to re-enter the top 5 of the league, remember that it is the top 5, I can give you a reward. Players who perform well can get the right to follow the first team in the summer training camp, and if they perform well in the training camp..."

Yang Cheng smiled at the group of little ghosts, making them all eager to try, "... Then you say goodbye to Castia!"

"Wow!" Several young players immediately cheered on the spot.

"Long live Mr. Yang Cheng!" Drared was even more exaggerated and flattered him directly.

"It's useless to flatter me. Ruben, it's the most practical performance on the court!" Yang Cheng pointed at this kid.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Remember what I said, I will watch on the court on the 28th, don't mess it up!"

After saying that, Yang Cheng greeted Menides and said goodbye to the players.

He could imagine how excited and excited the cheering boys were behind him.

"Their strength is not bad!" Yang Cheng seemed very serious when walking out of Castia's training area. "All they lack is opportunities and trust. Now that I am here, they will get enough opportunities!"

Raul, Piri and Butragino have seen Yang Cheng’s specialness this time. At least no Real Madrid head coach can bring such a longing to people before he even took office.

Standing between the training building and the training ground, looking up at the roof of Castia's training building, "Castia's eagle will soon be coiled over the Bernabeu Stadium again. The reason I came to Real Madrid was to make him a football club again!"

"This requires the concerted cooperation of each of us!" Yang Cheng stretched out his hands.

Piri, Butragno and Raul looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, but they all reached out their hands and held them together, which was what they wanted to see, and they had no other choice.
Chapter completed!
