Chapter 718 Sequelae

After returning to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel from the Allianz Arena, the players were guarding the St. Pauli Cup as if they were guarding a treasure, and they were reluctant to leave for a moment. After all, many of them were getting the Champions League trophy for the first time.

After saying goodbye to them, Ye Qiu returned to his room, took a shower and changed clothes, and felt comfortable.

But for some reason, he still felt that his ears were buzzing everywhere. It was obvious that he had not yet gotten rid of the cheers of the crazy Tottenham fans outside the Allianz Arena and after arriving at the hotel.

Those high-decibel noises had been harassing Ye Qiu for two or three hours. It was really a bit strange to suddenly quiet down. I always felt a little hallucination in my ears, which was funny to think about.

Sitting in front of the glass window of the hotel room, Ye Qiu could only see the night sky of Munich, but not the night view of the city.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located in the center of Munich, surrounded by six or seven-story buildings, which are very dense. If Ye Qiu's room was not facing the fork in the road, it would be difficult to see the night sky.

One season is over, and the next season will soon come. The time for Ye Qiu to leave is getting closer and closer. He originally planned to leave the position of head coach after the first season of the team entering the new stadium. According to the current plan and arrangement, there are still two years.

Two years is not long, but not short.

If Ye Qiu wants to leave the position of head coach, he must consider many factors, such as the coaching staff.

The current coaching staff has been with him for many years. Each of them is an excellent coach. Whether it is training players or preparing for games, they are all good and outstanding talents. The reason why Ye Qiu promoted Mauro Tassotti instead of outsiders is because of this coaching staff.

If you hire outsiders to coach, they will definitely bring their own team, and there will be a gap with Tottenham Hotspur's coaching staff, and even conflicts and disagreements will arise, which will only cause internal strife in the team.

Of course, Tottenham Hotspur cannot rely on this coaching team for a long time, so in the past few years, they have all served in other positions and positions in Tottenham Hotspur, such as Peter Brandt, who is not only the team's physical coach, but also the head of the research center.

Mauro Tassotti is the head of the tactical library, Roland is the leader of the first team, René Meulensteen and Ricardo Moniz are important members of the youth training department and are one of Ricklin's assistants, and Frans Hoch is the manager of the team, including the training and development of all goalkeepers in the youth training camp.

It can be said that this coaching team has penetrated into all aspects of Tottenham Hotspur. After Ye Qiu leaves the team, they may choose to retreat behind the scenes, or they may continue to coach, and maybe someone will even want to step forward, but these are not important.

What is important is that Ye Qiu's successor is Mauro Tassotti.

Ferguson had looked for many capable assistants, some of whom were once rumored to be Ferguson's successors, but in fact, Ferguson has been patiently looking for his successors in the past few years, including Mourinho and Moyes.

But it is obvious that Mourinho, Guardiola and other famous coaches will not take over Manchester United, because the consequence of doing so is that they can only live under Ferguson's shadow, which is something that no head coach would do. Even if they want to go to Manchester United, they must wait until Ferguson's traces fade.

Just like what Ye Qiu talked about with Guardiola, if Guardiola takes over Tottenham Hotspur in the future, it will take at least five or six years, or even ten years, because by then Ye Qiu's traces in the team will fade a lot, which will facilitate Guardiola's calm arrangements.

Of course, Mauro Tassotti was promoted and cultivated by Ye Qiu himself. He believed that Mauro Tassotti had the ability to lead Tottenham Hotspur, but football was complicated and full of uncertainties. So, who knew what would happen in the future?

Ye Qiu now began to feel the difficulties encountered by Ferguson. He wanted to retire, but was afraid that the foundation he had worked so hard to build would be destroyed. It was not that Ye Qiu was worried about Mauro Tassotti, but because Mauro Tassotti was not him, Ye Qiu, after all. I believe that all successful people would have this kind of fear of gain and loss when they abdicate.

In the past few years, Ye Qiu has made great efforts to metabolize the team and introduced a group of young players including Phil Jones, Coutinho, Eriksson, Nastasic, Varane, Neymar, etc. These are all preparations made by Ye Qiu for Mauro Tassotti, and he also left a killer for Mauro Tassotti.

He would not show his tricks until the critical moment.

In the coming year, Tottenham Hotspur will put all its energy and funds into the renovation of Stratford Stadium. It is expected to be officially put into use in the summer of 2013, and the entire renovation cost will exceed 150 million euros. By then, the cost of the entire Stratford Stadium will reach an astonishing figure.

But you get what you pay for. Ye Qiu is convinced that the renovated Stratford Stadium will provide all the more than 80,000 fans who come to the stadium with the world's top stadium experience, not only because of the world's first LED TV screen, but also because the supporting facilities of the entire stadium are very advanced and user-friendly.

Tottenham Hotspur is not short of money now. The team has done very well this season. But apart from the business operation, the team won the Premier League and received a broadcasting fee share of 66.7 million pounds, which is nearly 85 million euros. If it is placed in other leagues, it would be an astronomical figure.

In addition to the substantial increase in the Premier League broadcasting fee, the reason why Tottenham Hotspur can get such a high broadcasting fee share is that the number of broadcasting matches of Tottenham Hotspur is as high as 32, which is six more than the 26 matches of Manchester City, which ranks second. It is nearly 3.5 million pounds, and the team's total income is 6 million pounds more than Manchester City.

In addition to the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur won the Champions League. Ye Qiu and Peter Kenyon just calculated the account. The latter initially estimated that the Champions League bonus Tottenham Hotspur received from UEFA this season exceeded 65 million euros, which is also the first in Europe. Bayern Munich, which ranks second, only received 41 million euros, which is 20 million euros less than Tottenham Hotspur. The gap is still quite obvious.

The reason for this huge gap is that the bonus of broadcasting shares varies according to the broadcasting share of each team in the country. For example, Tottenham Hotspur's TV broadcasting share is as high as 35 million euros, while the runner-up Bayern Munich only has 15 million, which is even less than the 25 million euros of Manchester United, which did not qualify for the group.

So, if we calculate it from the team's management, the Premier League is indeed very advantageous.

Two events, two heavy championships, and 150 million euros in revenue, the team's finances are indeed very healthy, and paying for the renovation of the new stadium is not a big problem. However, if we consider the renewal plan launched by the team, the salary pressure of the team will be further increased in the next season, and the team's daily operating costs will continue to increase, so the finances cannot be relaxed.

There is a saying that is very true, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

This is also the reason why Ye Qiu is always unwilling to loosen the salary structure. Once it is loosened, it is almost impossible to re-establish it. Therefore, this loophole cannot be opened at all costs, even if some big-name stars have left.

Because once it is released, the healthy operation that Tottenham Hotspur has worked hard to build for many years will be destroyed, and it will become a money-burning team like Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams. This is obviously not what Ye Qiu hopes and wants to see.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu began to understand why he was worried, because he knew very well that after entering 2012, it would soon be 2013, and the world he was familiar with would become unfamiliar.

Although the whole world has changed a lot because of his arrival in the past few years, at least he can still tell himself subconsciously that this is still the world I am familiar with, but in 2013, everything will change.

Perhaps, this is the psychological shadow and sequelae of the time traveler.

The celebration dinner was prepared by the chefs of the Michelin restaurant of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, but the venue was not the simple and elegant Michelin restaurant, because it was too small to hold such a large celebration dinner.

The banquet was held in the banquet hall of the hotel. The players came to the banquet hall with their families and took their seats. The St. Paul Cup was placed right above the banquet hall. There was a special table for it. Many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures of it. The whole banquet hall was bustling.

When Ye Qiu walked into the banquet hall, he was immediately greeted by many invited guests and reporters, as well as the family members of the players. Many people left their seats and ran to shake hands with him. Ye Qiu also politely exchanged a few words with some familiar people, and then walked to the seats where his wife Huang Chu and Eliza were arranged by the staff.

"Congratulations, European champion!" Eliza congratulated with a smile.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, pinching the face of Ye Chen who was held in Huang Chu's arms. This kid's skin was ridiculously good, very much like his mother, but that was right, if his skin was like Ye Qiu's, it would be too bad.

"I just heard Newman say that Manchester United is going to make a big deal this time, and it is said that they want to bring in Van Persie!" Eliza said with a smile. Van Persie's performance in Barcelona was not bad, but he was a little uncomfortable with the environment and atmosphere of Barcelona. In addition, there was a strong power struggle within the club. After Guardiola was dismissed, Van Persie also decided to leave the team.

Manchester United almost lost the Champions League qualification this season. The problems of Ferguson's team were actually similar to Tottenham Hotspur. After the climax, the players began to show some centrifugality, especially some main players, such as Sneijder, who were in a very bad state, and Las Diarra had a falling out with Ferguson.

This is also one of the main reasons why Ye Qiu attaches great importance to the character of players when recruiting players. He does not like thorns like Las Diarra, because he believes that such players can bring great help to the team if they perform well, but the problem is that his existence is also an unpredictable mine in the team's locker room. You don't know when he will explode.

Tevez and Rooney's contract renewal is said to have problems. In addition, Benzema has been seduced by Real Madrid, Arsenal and other teams. Relatively speaking, Tevez's problem is more complicated. After all, it involves Joorabchian, who even keeps saying that Tevez wants to transfer to West Ham United to replace veteran Eto'o.

Ye Qiu doesn't pay much attention to the transfer of Premier League teams, because relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur's biggest enemy is no longer the opponent, but only itself, especially after 88 unbeaten games in the Premier League. Unless Tottenham Hotspur has problems, it will be difficult for opponents to beat this team.

"I heard that you plan to sell Alves?" Eliza asked.

Ye Qiu glanced at the table where Alves was in the distance. The Brazilian right-back looked uninterested and was obviously affected by many aspects, because Tottenham Hotspur had announced that the renewal negotiations with him would be suspended, because his contract still had two years left, so there was no need to rush.

But this can also be regarded as a signal to sell people!

Maybe Alves never thought about leaving Tottenham Hotspur, or maybe he thought about it, but no matter what, in this way, at this time, leaving Tottenham Hotspur is a difficult thing for him to accept.

But he also knew that he had offended Ye Qiu.

In Tottenham Hotspur, there is only one result for offending Ye Qiu, leaving!

"By the way, I plan to have a good vacation this summer. I haven't had a good rest for a long time. I may not go to the United States!" Ye Qiu said a little tiredly. He had too many things to worry about in the past season, and he must have a good rest now.

"Then will you come to watch the European Cup?" Eliza's eyes were full of desire.

Ye Qiu nodded, "I should be back to Europe during the last period of the European Cup!"

Eliza got the answer and agreed happily. She happened to be busy recently.

The acquisition of Nokia by Leaf Technology was completed in April. This is a heavy bomb for the high-tech and mobile phone fields, especially for Google, because this transaction includes the map business.

In the past, Google accumulated a lot of popularity through search, but Leaf Technology now has social tools such as Weibo, WeChat and Facebook. They are the company with the most users on the Internet in the world, so Leaf Technology has been a threat to Google for a long time, and the latter has also conspired to fight back against Leaf Technology many times.

But now, Leaf Technology not only got Nokia, but also got Nokia's map business. As soon as the transaction between the two parties was successful, Leaf Technology announced that it would comprehensively increase the R\u0026D investment in the map business, and apply the map business to many of the company's products and mobile phones, and will also license the development to others at an appropriate time.

One very important point is that Leaf Technology will not only cooperate with some auto giants in the field of intelligent vehicle systems, but will also develop installable products such as navigation. Currently, the world's top in-vehicle infotainment system suppliers are developing new products based on the Android intelligent car system provided by Leaf Technology.

In addition, a number of car brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota, Honda, etc. will use Leaf Technology's vehicle systems, but they will customize them to varying degrees according to the different characteristics of their own models, which is a bit similar to Leaf Technology licensing the Android system to some mobile phone manufacturers for customization.

These are two important measures taken by Leaf Technology to promote smart car systems. Unlike Google, which has been entertaining itself so far, Leaf Technology has already begun to prepare for the launch and will be officially launched in the market in January 2013. This car system will also be connected and even synchronized with mobile phones, tablets and data clouds.

Coupled with the promotion of some car infotainment system suppliers, any car can have an Android smart car system as long as it is properly modified, but it will only have some infotainment functions and will not be able to directly perform some vehicle control functions like the customized version of the car manufacturer.

In this car system, Leaf Technology will also focus on promoting its own map business and will launch three-dimensional map technology, which is also called the next generation of data map business by Nokia. It also supports a series of very practical technologies such as offline navigation. Currently, Ford, Audi and Toyota are using Nokia's map data.

It can be said that Leaf Technology has developed to the point where it is not only the leading overlord in the field of smartphones, but has also entered the traditional PC business. Especially after withdrawing from the ultrabook, even Microsoft's monopoly has been shaken. In addition, smart home is also an important part of Leaf Technology's smart ecosystem layout.

After years of development, Leaf Technology has basically laid a solid foundation for Ye Qiu's goal. The next few years will be a critical stage for Leaf Technology to advance by leaps and bounds, so Eliza also attaches great importance to this.

With Eliza in the United States, Ye Qiu is very relieved, so he just asked a few things casually and learned about the current situation of the company, and then he didn't say anything more.

Now Ye Qiu can be said to have a big family and a big business. Let's not talk about anything else, just Moon Sports Service Company alone. After several years of rapid development, the company's current market value exceeds 1 billion euros. The current business involved is not only football, but also a series of sports such as basketball, baseball, rugby, and table tennis.

In fact, Ye Qiu rarely interferes with the operation of this company, and even rarely asks about it.

As the celebration banquet began, the St. Pauli Cup was naturally the protagonist of this banquet, but Ye Qiu was the host of this banquet, so he was also harassed by the players and guests. Fortunately, although the season was over, many players had to participate in the European Cup and national team games, so they were very restrained and did not drink.

This allowed Ye Qiu, who had an average alcohol tolerance, to escape.
