Before the derby of the century, there was endless news about Real Madrid.
First up is the best of the month about La Liga.
As we all know, the Premier League selects the best of the month every month, including players and coaches. This is an honor for everyone, and La Liga has begun to follow suit.
Starting from September of this season, the Spanish Professional Football League has also officially launched the monthly best selections, namely the best coach of the month and the best player of the month, and the same is true for the Spanish Second Division.
In the selection of La Liga Player of the Month, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria, as well as Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa, are very strong contenders. All three of them performed best in La Liga in September.
player of.
In the end, Di Maria defeated Ronaldo and Diego Costa and won the first monthly award in the history of Spanish football.
In the selection of the best coach of the month, Barcelona's Martino and Atletico Madrid's Simeone are Gaoshen's strongest competitors. However, in the Madrid derby in September, Simeone was slightly inferior and lost.
Contest.
Martino and Gao Shen, who also maintained unbeatable records, became the biggest competitors.
But in the end it was Gao Shen who had the last laugh.
Real Madrid successfully won the two monthly awards for the first time in La Liga history.
The award ceremony took place on the afternoon of the day when Real Madrid left for Barcelona. After the training session, the awards were presented directly in Valdebebas. Gao Shen and Di Maria both won the award.
This is also a great encouragement for Real Madrid.
…
The joy of Real Madrid winning double awards here has not faded, but Italy's Turin Sports News has once again sent good news.
The list of 40 players for the 2013 Golden Boy Award was officially announced. Real Madrid has a total of three players shortlisted, namely Jesé, Pogba and Varane. All three players were born in 1993.
This also makes Real Madrid one of the clubs with the most selected players in European football.
Another club that has selected three players is Leeds United.
The players selected for the 40-man Golden Boy Award list by the White Rose are Cancelo, Harry Kane and Felipe Luis.
These three players are all outstanding players in the Premier League this season, and their selection is worthy of recognition.
But Leeds United has another record that other teams cannot match, that is, in addition to these three selected players, Icardi, Kondogbia, Pogba, and Marquinhos are all from Leeds.
United youth training.
In other words, Leeds United contributed a total of 7 players to the 40-man Golden Boy Award squad.
Turin Sports News wrote a special article to comment on Leeds United's youth training, believing that the White Rose has made outstanding contributions to youth training and has achieved amazing results in the past two seasons.
You know, in last year's Golden Boy Award selection, Leeds United was already a major finalist. This year, 7 players were shortlisted. Although 4 players were sold, they should still be included in Leeds United's account.
.
Such an outstanding success rate is enough to make the entire European football world take notice.
Turin Sports News commented that Leeds United is rising rapidly and becoming an emerging force in European football.
There is actually not much suspense about this 40-man list. Basically everyone knows that the winner is Real Madrid midfielder Paul Pogba.
He performed well at Leeds United last season. In the summer, he led the French national youth team to win the World Youth Championship in Turkey. He transferred to Real Madrid for a sky-high price of 60 million euros. This season, he once again performed very eye-catchingly in Real Madrid. Let me ask,
If Pogba doesn’t win this award, who will?
And if Pogba wins this award again, it will undoubtedly create a record, that is, Real Madrid has won the European Golden Boy Award for two consecutive years, because it was Isco who won the award last season and he had already transferred to Real Madrid at that time.
.
There are many clubs that have won the Golden Boy Award twice. For example, Manchester United, Rooney and Anderson have all won the Golden Boy Award, but only Real Madrid has won it for two consecutive years, which is undoubtedly an honor.
…
Following the news about Best of the Month and Golden Boy Awards, Spanish Confidential News broke a shocking piece of news.
The richest man in the world is here!
Real Madrid's general membership meeting is approaching, and news about Florentino's report is emerging one after another. Among them, the most discussed one is Real Madrid's plan to renovate the Bernabeu Stadium.
At this sensitive moment, news suddenly broke out in the Spanish financial field. The American billionaire Bill Gates spent 113.5 million euros to buy 6% of the shares of the Spanish Construction Group and became the second largest shareholder of the FCC Group.
The Spanish government responded positively, saying that this was Bill Gates' optimism about the Spanish economy.
Bill Gates also quickly gave feedback, expressing his confidence in the Spanish economy and expressing his strong interest in further investing in Spain. The confidential report revealed that Bill Gates visited Florentino at the ACS Group.
FCC Group is currently the largest construction service provider in Spain, larger than the ACS Group run by Florentino, but the two parties have a lot of cooperation, and this visit is obviously not for the two construction companies, but because of Real Madrid.
Confidential News revealed that Florentino said that Real Madrid plans to renovate the Bernabeu in 2016, and also hopes to develop more cooperation with Bill Gates and Microsoft behind it, such as the Bernabeu's management software system, etc.
"Bill Gates recognizes the significant brand effect Florentino has created for Real Madrid over the years, hopes to name the Bernabeu Stadium, and is willing to donate an additional 1 million euros in the name of the Bill Gates Foundation.
, cooperate with Real Madrid to develop social and sports services."
Confidential News revealed that Real Madrid hopes to sell the naming rights of the Bernabeu for a sponsorship fee of 200 million euros over 10 years.
This will undoubtedly be the most expensive stadium naming fee ever paid in professional football.
However, the Confidential News also revealed that in order to successfully sell the stadium naming rights and rename the Bernabeu Stadium to Microsoft Stadium, Florentino still needs to convince all Real Madrid members and board members at the membership meeting.
"This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing."
And if Real Madrid members cannot be convinced, neither Bill Gates nor Microsoft will accept the proposal to share naming rights with the Bernabeu.
The Confidential News also revealed that Microsoft has been willing to enter the sports circle for a long time. Internet giants such as Google, Amazon, and Facebook also have ambitions to enter the sports circle, and some have even begun to contact them.
"During training in the United States, the management of Leeds United in the Premier League had contacts with Google and Facebook in California, and even went to Seattle to meet with Amazon. All parties have the intention to cooperate."
Confidential News believes that in the context of a sluggish economy, football is becoming a hot topic for Internet giants.
Compared with their huge annual marketing and promotion expenses, the cost of sponsoring a football club is just a drop in the bucket, and they don't take it seriously at all.
The Confidential News report quickly aroused huge repercussions in Spain.
At the pre-match press conference before Gao Shen led the team to Barcelona, a media reporter asked him for his opinion on this matter, but Gao Shen said that he had not received any information.
"This is not something I should be asking about. Even if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it."
Gao Shen once again reiterated that as the team's head coach, he is only responsible for leading the team in the game and does not care about other things.
But after the press conference, Gao Shen made a special call to Butragueno to find out the specific situation.
After all, Leeds United is also recruiting investment right now.
Butragueno clearly told Gao Shen that Bill Gates had indeed talked to Florentino about Microsoft's sponsorship of Real Madrid.
Before the two bosses met, the teams on both sides had already had some communication.
"But this matter is difficult to handle. Many members and even board members have made it clear that they do not want to change the name of the Bernabeu. Therefore, I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this matter."
Deep understanding.
The older a wealthy team is, the heavier the burden is.
Just like the advertisement on the chest of Barcelona's jersey, if Barcelona did not take the curve to save the country, it would not be an easy task for Barcelona to put an advertisement on its chest.
"Barcelona has always wanted to sell the naming rights of the stadium. After all, the annual income is at least 20 million euros, but the name of Camp Nou cannot be lost, so this matter is really difficult to handle." Butragueno is also very worried.
complex.
As a famous star of Real Madrid, in fact, no one is willing to sell the naming rights.
I would like to ask, would it be fun to turn the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium into Microsoft Stadium or Gates Stadium?
But as the manager of the club, he had to admit that such a large amount of money every year was really tempting.
Some people may think that Real Madrid is a membership system and cannot make a profit, so why do they make so much money?
The answer is simple. Wouldn't it be a good thing to improve players' salaries or buy one more star?
"I asked you to choose, how did you choose?" Butragueno asked Xiang Gaoshen in turn.
Gao Shen burst into laughter, "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, I don't know how to choose."
This is really difficult to do.
Just like Leeds United, when they were planning to build a new stadium, many fans still suggested that they should continue to use the name of the Elland Road stadium. This is tradition.
But Leeds United's approach is more cunning.
According to Lucas's idea, he planned to keep the nearby road called Elland Road, but sell the naming rights of the stadium.
Of course, at present, this matter has not been resolved, and the club still needs to guide the fans. However, in comparison, the pressure on Leeds United will definitely be much less.
After all, it is a bankrupt team, and the fans understand the club's efforts to make money.
Having been stuck in the lower levels for so many years, life is just getting better now. How could they want to see the club fall back again?
"Stop talking, we're leaving." Gao Shen was about to hang up the phone.
"When you get to Barcelona, remember to be careful." Butragueno will not travel with the team this time. He still has things to do in Madrid.
"Also, remember to bring earplugs, this trick of Barcelona fans has been tried and tested time and time again."
Gao Shen laughed, he had long been accustomed to this kind of away treatment.
In fact, as long as Barcelona fans don't smash the windows of the Real Madrid bus, Gao Shen will be happy for a long time.
After all, smashing car windows is a regular routine for Barcelona fans.
As for playing music and singing in front of the Real Madrid Hotel, that's even more common.
"Don't worry, wait for my good news!" Gao Shen said confidently.
