France Télévisions 1 is the TV station with the highest ratings in France, with a market share of 35%.
Program content includes news reports, sports, TV dramas, comprehensive arts, etc.
The French team won the world championship at the just-concluded World Cup in Russia and became famous for a while. Therefore, as the new season is about to begin, France TV 1 specially invited many of the main stars of the national team to participate in their highest-rated game.
An interview program.
As the most dazzling star in the World Cup, Mbappe is naturally also on the invite list.
In the program, in addition to answering a series of questions about the World Cup and the national team according to the script, he also mentioned the most watched transfer this summer, which was Mbappe's transfer.
When the host asked Mbappe, there have been rumors that Paris Saint-Germain is willing to pay a sky-high transfer price of 200 million euros for him. French fans are also very much looking forward to his return to play in Ligue 1. At the same time, La Liga giants
Real Madrid is also urging him to land in La Liga. How does he plan to choose?
Mbappe smiled and thanked the fans for their concern.
"There is no doubt that they are the best clubs in football and I feel extremely honored to be favored by them."
"But I want to say that I am only 19 years old. I think the most important thing for me now is to continue to work hard and improve my strength. No matter what happens in the future, this is the best choice for me."
Mbappe said that many people underestimated Leeds United.
"I would like to say that we are still one of the most competitive teams in European football and I am very happy to continue my adventure at Leeds United and in the Premier League. I will stay at Leeds United and my agent is working with me.
The club is negotiating to renew the contract."
"In the new season, I hope to perform better and win more important championships with my teammates and fans!"
…
The video was forwarded by Lucas. After watching it, Gao Shen burst out laughing.
Mbappe finally made a wise choice!
This is actually not easy, because what he knows is that the conditions offered by Paris and Real Madrid are indeed very attractive.
Especially the annual salary, which Leeds United cannot provide under any circumstances.
Sometimes, there is no way to say whether this choice is right or wrong.
Just like Mbappe, do you think this choice is definitely the right one?
If he is seriously injured in the new season and his entire competitive level plummets, then this choice will be stupid.
To put it bluntly, professional football is a high-risk sport. No one knows what will happen in the future, and the players' bodies are even more unpredictable. Therefore, it is really difficult to make this decision!
Of course, Mbappe must have made this decision not only for Leeds United, but also for Real Madrid.
What he is looking forward to now is to go to Real Madrid and become the top star.
It has won six consecutive Champions League titles and five consecutive La Liga titles, locking in the best club of the 21st century decades in advance. Who wouldn’t want to be the top player in such a team?
But Mbappe was also worried about Real Madrid's reconstruction, so he chose to stay and wait one more year.
This is also a good choice for Real Madrid.
At least it's better than Mbappe moving to Paris.
Because this at least proves that Mbappe still prefers Real Madrid.
Gao Shen is even thinking that maybe Real Madrid supports Mbappé to stay for one more year to some extent.
Under the combined influence of many factors, it finally evolved into the current situation.
"Pretty good!" Gao Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
If Mbappe stays, Leeds United's most powerful attacking point for the new season will be retained.
But problems also emerged.
Next, the transfers of Mane, Harry Kane, and Dele Alli will also begin to enter the fast lane.
Among them, Leeds United will definitely relent on Mane's transfer.
Only by sending away Mane can Mbappe take up the left wing position, leaving the right wing to Ousmane Dembélé.
"Keeping Mbappe, the new round of contract renewal will lead to an increase in salary expenses. A few days ago, Lao Jiang was still complaining to me, saying that she was under too much pressure." Su Qing was sitting next to Gao Shen and saw it.
video, he said with a smile.
Over the years, she is no longer the layperson who knew nothing about football. She is now a senior football practitioner, so she knows very well how professional football operates.
"More pressure, train people!" Gao Shen said with a smile.
Before, Leeds United's transfer made little progress and was stuck with Mbappe. Now that Mbappe has cleared this up, everything will go smoothly, and many things will be much easier to handle next.
"But Mbappe will leave next summer." Su Qing reminded.
Gao Shen nodded.
It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.
It will be a matter of time before Mbappe leaves, but Leeds United will have at least one more year to prepare.
"To be honest, sometimes I still don't understand professional football in Europe."
"tell me the story."
"You said that they spend so much money every year on signings and striving for results, but in the end they don't make much money at all. But the risk is too great. If you are not careful, it may lead to a big decline."
Su Qing frowned and expressed confusion, "How long can this game last without foreign capital taking over?"
"Ha, you said you didn't understand, but in fact you did." Gao Shen praised with a smile.
Su Qing was stunned, "You mean, foreign capital?"
"Let me ask you a question. We talk about commercialization all the time, but how long will European football be commercialized?"
"Ten...more than ten years, the Premier League was established in 1992."
“What about La Liga?”
"I don't know, starting from the large-scale transformation of the membership system into a joint-stock company?"
"Strictly speaking, it should start with the separation of management and management from the Football Association and the league. The Premier League is the result of the separation of management and management from the English League. La Liga's membership system can no longer operate and has begun to restructure, but this is only the beginning."
"The large-scale influx of funds actually started at that time. The earliest was Sky TV. Without Sky TV's huge broadcast fees, there would be no Premier League. In the late 1990s, the prosperity of the Bundesliga was based on the broadcaster Kirsch.
With the support of the group’s generous investment, once the Kirsch Group went bankrupt, the Bundesliga was immediately over.”
By the same token, if Sky TV goes bankrupt now, the Premier League and even many European leagues will also be finished.
"In the new century, the large-scale influx of foreign capital has led to the prosperity of European football, but you can see that in fact, many leagues and many clubs have not completed commercial reforms at all. This can be seen from their management systems.
come out."
"For example, Inter Milan, I have a very good relationship with Moratti, but I don't think he is a qualified business manager; Juventus' management is very qualified? Look at La Liga, Barcelona is still like that, Atletico Madrid
Therefore, the downgrade was caused by the former chairman Hill, and the rise of Atletico Madrid is the result of the reform of the management system."
"The Premier League is considered to be the best. We can see that many Premier League clubs have gone public. But what will the stocks of those clubs look like after going public? In the past few years, how many Premier League teams were in a mess of management? Now it has been a little better in the past few years.
Some, why? After foreign capital entered, it brought advanced management mechanisms."
The management of many Premier League teams is still a mess, but it is much better than before.
"And we can see that the entire Premier League team now has a common trend, that is, running the club itself does not make money, but makes money outside the club. For example, Chelsea's Abramovich, he is out of
Political considerations, some are purely out of love, and some are for advertising."
Arsenal once made money. That was when the new stadium was being built. The Gunners won the fourth place in the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League knockout rounds with the investment of second- and third-tier teams in the Premier League. The investment was far less than the income, so Arsenal's
Have been making money for years.
But what about now? Where are the other teams?
The purpose of Manchester United's crazy investment now is very simple. The Glazer family still wants to sell it for cash.
Before Manchester United was sold, could the Glazer family say how much money they made from Manchester United?
The same goes for Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle...
Almost most Premier League teams have the same mindset.
It is precisely because of this mentality of the Premier League teams, coupled with rich but poorly run giants like Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, that the current transfer market in European football has become outrageous.
Of course, Gao Shen will definitely not stand up and criticize this phenomenon, because he is the beneficiary.
Without these rich people, where would he get such high transfer fee income?
In fact, wise industry insiders all know that this is not a healthy and sustainable business model, but they are all coerced by capital and have to move forward and keep up.
Even Bayern, which has always boasted of being rational, is now offering higher and higher annual salaries.
Therefore, as Su Qing said, if there is no foreign capital to take over, many clubs will not be able to survive in this business.
But Gao Shen once saw a report about British football, and there was a very clear case in it, that is, according to historical context, whenever the economy is depressed, football is often taking off.
What has happened in European football over the years seems to confirm this sentence.
From the subprime mortgage crisis to the European debt crisis, the world economy is in trouble, but football has exploded, and the Premier League's broadcast fees around the world have skyrocketed. Now, even Internet giants are paying attention to football.
Not only that, now a lot of hot money from the Middle East and around the world is also investing in the Premier League and European football.
Just like Gao Shen's previous reforms to Leeds United's business system, football is no longer simply a competitive sport, but more like a platform.
Feelings, making money, advertising, political interests...all kinds of different capitals can find their own interests and demands in this.
For Gao Shen, he only wants to do one thing now.
Taking advantage of his time-traveling advantage in the last few years, he strives to win a few more big jobs, and at the same time further consolidate the foundation of Leeds United and establish its status as a giant.
In the future, when he loses his advantage as a time traveler, Leeds United can rely on its own management system and excellent management capabilities to survive in the jungle of the European League.
It is a pity that Mbappe is not destined to be Leeds United's future ace.
Perhaps Haaland, Bellingham, Gvardiol and others can.
