Chapter 174 Benefits of the Champions League

Chapter 174 The Benefits of the Champions League

The Udinese people almost left the Santiago Bernabeu stadium amid boos.

Objectively speaking, the boos from Real Madrid fans were mostly directed at the refereeing team. Today the referee was so "blatantly partial" to Udinese, which made it difficult for Real Madrid fans to accept. What is Real Madrid doing? I have suffered such a loss before.

After the game, Real Madrid captain Casillas approached the referee on duty. The Real Madrid captain was very excited and said something angrily. The referee had a serious expression on his face. At first he gave a few explanations, but then he simply He quickly left with his team.

Seeing this scene, the boos on the scene became even more crazy, and of course the white handkerchiefs in the sky were also waved more vigorously.

Amidst the boos and white handkerchiefs, coins, lighters, trinkets and other sundries were thrown from the stands.

Obviously, these will all be recorded by the fourth official, with the possibility of additional penalties being imposed at the Santiago Bernabeu.

He and his teammates came to the stands of visiting team fans to thank the fans who had come all the way to Madrid to support the team. Bruno, who was about to return to the locker room, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "What a good show!"

A coin flew in and almost hit him. Bruno jumped up in fright, turned around and ran away.

………………

At the post-match press conference, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti lashed out at the officiating referee: "From my point of view, we had a penalty that was wiped out. And then the penalty that was awarded was also nonexistent."

"Faced with incomprehensible penalties, the players' mentality was unbalanced. I can understand their inner anger, which greatly affected the result of the game."

The meaning of Ancelotti's words is very obvious, that is, Real Madrid did not lose to the small team Udinese, but lost to the unfair enforcement of the referee.

Guidolin told the reporters with a smile on his face: "I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. You must know that our opponent is Real Madrid. They can win a victory at the Bernabeu. They deserve any praise. "

"Mr. Guidolin, what do you think of the referee's penalty today?" a reporter from Aspen asked.

"This was a very exciting game. The refereeing team controlled the rhythm and scene of the game very well, and won general praise from both sides. He did a good job," Guidolin said.

The reporters looked at each other in confusion. Does the person who said this have any shame at all?

Ancelotti was furious and said directly: "I didn't say that."

Guidolin smiled and said nothing. He would not care too much about an old man who lost his mind because of anger.

A reporter from "Marca" said: "Don't you think that the referee's several penalties today were more beneficial to Udinese?"

"I don't think so." Guidolin shook his head and said, "I believe that the referee's decisions are based on the principle of fairness and justice. In fact, anyone who knows me knows that I always have the greatest respect for the referee."

"What you said is really good." A reporter from Madrid said in a strange tone.

He thought that the Udinese coach would be ashamed, but Guidolin directly thanked him with a smile: "Thank you."

Bruno, who attended the press conference with Guidolin, almost lost his temper when he heard his head coach's words. Unexpectedly, this old Italian man was quite interesting, much more interesting than the old Italian man from Real Madrid.

For Udinese, defeating Real Madrid on the road is certainly a gratifying thing, but what is even more gratifying is that the team is two rounds ahead of the knockout stages of the Champions League.

This is the first time in the team's history that it has advanced to the knockout stages of the Champions League, setting another team record.

Advancing to the knockout rounds of the Champions League is not only a great benefit to improving the team's reputation, but also has huge economic benefits.

According to the Champions League bonus distribution plan announced by UEFA two months ago before the start of this season's Champions League, the total bonus of the Champions League is as high as 9 million euros, and the winning team can receive up to 3740 million euros.

According to the bonus distribution plan announced by UEFA, the total Champions League bonus consists of a fixed part of 5.007 million euros and a floating part of 4.096 million euros. The fixed part is mainly distributed based on the performance of the 32 teams, while the latter is distributed based on the team's broadcast and television share.

The Champions League is a big cake. The guaranteed bonus for all 32 teams participating in the group stage is 860 million euros. In the group stage, every victory in a game can get a bonus of 100 million euros, and a draw can be obtained. The prize is 50 euros.

If you successfully qualify from the group and advance to the top 16, you can get a bonus of 350 million euros. If you advance to the top 8, you can get a bonus of 390 million euros. If you advance to the top 4, the bonus will rise to 490 million euros. If you win this season If you win the Champions League, you will also receive a bonus of 1050 million euros from UEFA, and the runner-up will receive a bonus of 650 million euros.

Roughly speaking, if a team maintains a complete victory in the group stage and can finally win the Champions League Big Ear Cup, then the champion team will receive a participation bonus of 3740 million euros.

………………

Taking the current Udinese as an example, they have confirmed to receive a guaranteed bonus of 860 million euros, a match bonus of 350 million euros, and a bonus of 350 million euros for advancing to the top .

<divclass="contentadv">In other words, if they lost all the last two rounds of the group stage and then all the knockout rounds in the top 1560, they could guarantee an income of million euros.

And this does not include the TV broadcast share.

Among the top 32, Udinese is not a big-name team, but coming from Serie A, it is definitely not unknown. Coupled with the fact that they are now one of the first two teams to advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League this season, this has once again increased the attention they have received.

Under such circumstances, there is no problem for Udinese to get thousands of the 4.096 million floating bonuses this season.

In this way, Udinese can earn at least 2500 million euros in revenue through the Champions League!

For Udinese, this is definitely a huge sum of money!

You know, Udinese won the Europa League last season, and their final income was only a bonus of 850 million euros and a floating bonus of 450 million euros, a total of 1300 million euros.

In addition to direct bonuses, Udinese also has many invisible incomes through the Champions League.For example, the improvement of the team's brand, and the team's commercial cooperation income, etc.

Anyway, after defeating Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and taking the lead in advancing to the top 100 of this season's Champions League, Udinese boss Giampaolo Pozzo almost burst into tears and laughed on the flight back to Italy from Udinese. It was announced that million euros would be given as a reward for this game.

For Udinese players, this is an unprecedented first.

For the Pozzo family, which operates on a small budget, they rarely spend money to reward players.Even when Udinese won the Italian Cup last season, he only paid out 50 euros as a token of appreciation. It was only after winning the Europa League that he gave out another 100 million euros bonus.

………………

This victory not only brought huge economic benefits to Udinese, but also had a huge impact on Bruno himself.

On October 10, FIFA announced the 28-man roster for the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or, and Bruno was unexpectedly selected.

The reason why he was selected is a bit unexpected because in a World Cup year, it is difficult for players who have not participated in the World Cup to be selected.

In this year's 23-man roster, there are only three people selected who have not played in the World Cup. Apart from Bruno, the other two are Ibrahimovic and Bale.

Ibrahimovic and Bale are both superstars in today's world football. Their failure to participate in the World Cup in Brazil was limited by the strength of their respective national teams.

With their reputation, it would be really strange if they didn't make this list.

Although Bruno performed well in Serie A last season, his absence from the World Cup in Brazil had a great impact on him. It would not be too surprising if he was not selected for this list.

And even after being selected into this big list, he is one of the people with the highest odds among the odds offered by major gambling companies in Europe, basically at the bottom.

However, as Bruno scored twice in two Champions League group matches against Real Madrid, the world witnessed Bruno's strength, which also caused his odds offered by major European betting companies to change. Gradually enter the top twenty.

………………

On November 11, Udinese challenged Palermo away in the 9th round of Serie A.

In this game, Guidolin made extensive rotations in Udinese's starting lineup, but Bruno, who was in good physical condition, still started.

After all, this game was four and a half days apart from the last away game against Real Madrid, and Bruno has recovered physically.

At the Barbera Stadium, Udinese got off to a fantastic start. In the 5th minute, Bruno took a free kick. Danilo's shot was saved by Sorrentino. French high center Taylor, who got the chance to start due to Di Natale's rotation, succeeded in making a supplementary shot.

In the 42nd minute, Badu brought down Barreto from behind, and Diawara equalized with a penalty kick.

In the 54th minute, Palermo almost took the lead. Diawara cut in from the right and was tripped by Guilherme. Palermo received another penalty, this time it was taken by Vazquez but was saved by Karnezis.

Surviving the catastrophe will be a blessing, and Udinese won a great opportunity after 14 minutes. In the 68th minute, Cancelo struck back from the right, and Bruno fired a precise low shot with his left foot from the top of the penalty area into the lower right corner.

2: 1!

This is Bruno's 8th Serie A goal this season, tying with teammate Di Natale for first place in the scorer list.

At the same time, Bruno also had 9 assists, far ahead in the assists list.
