Eight Hundred and Ninetieth City Group Plan

890 City Group's Plan

"Manchester City's 33rd league win streak!"

It was the second day and many media headlines.

Generally speaking, the media are basically headline parties, and what they are best at is to use all kinds of exaggerated and thrilling headlines to attract the attention of the audience.

This time, however, there was basically no exaggerated rhetoric used by the media to cover the game.

Because... the fact that the league has won 33 consecutive games is already extremely exaggerated.

People are basically numb to Manchester City's victory, and, turning over the next opponents of Manchester City... They have won the league, and it has almost become a reality.

......

April 17, Etihad Stadium!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!"

The commentators on the commentary stand were shouting frantically.

The tsunami of cheers from the stands, as if to pierce the Manchester sky.

On the pitch, Manchester City players in sky blue jerseys rushed up and formed a pile near the corner flag area.

On the scoreboard at the stadium, the red score is prominently displayed: Manchester City 1:0 West Bromwich Albion.

Game time....13 minutes! !

"The goalscorer is..."

The live DJ growled.

The fans in the stands were already ready.

"Li Yuanshan!!!!!!"

Manchester City fans chanted in unison.

On the court, Li Yuanshan finally stood up from the bottom of the pile of people, with grass clippings and some sludge on him.

Obviously, this game was not easy for him.

There is no doubt that Manchester City once again sent a substitute lineup in this game, because they will go to Munich in three days to challenge the Bundesliga class Bayern!

Li Yuanshan was very excited after scoring the goal, and he still had a smile on his face.

For Li Yuanshan this season, it can be said that his career took off, although he is not the main force of the team. But the 20-year-old striker has gradually become an important rotation player on the front line.

To be a rotation in the strongest team in Europe like Manchester City, this is already quite a remarkable achievement for Li Yuanshan.

His agent Mendes is already planning to ask Manchester City for a raise.

After all, in modern football, a high center striker who is tall and has good mobility is quite rare. From a purely competitive perspective, Manchester City will not easily let this striker go, not to mention... A Chinese player is one of the most crucial keys for Manchester City to open the Chinese market.

The head coach has Gao Bo and the players have Li Yuanshan.

In just one or two years, Manchester City has surpassed their rival Manchester United, and surpassed Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two giants of La Liga, to become the European club with the largest number of fans in China.

Just in terms of the number of jerseys sold, Manchester City has more sales in China than other teams in Europe combined - this is a rare thing in the Chinese market that has not yet developed the use of genuine jerseys.

......

The 34th round of the league is over.

Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 at home to clinch a 34-game winning streak in the league.

Before leaving for Munich, Gao Bo had a long conversation with Soriano, the team's executive chairman, for nearly four hours on the night of the end of the game.

Due to the unprecedented success in the Chinese market, Manchester City, or the City Group, decided to strengthen its investment in China.

City Group originally had plans for city clubs. In addition to controlling Manchester City, they also own a series of teams such as New York City and Melbourne City.

These teams can of course be seen as satellites of Manchester City, but at the same time these teams are also in some remote areas of football,

It undertakes part of the function of the football club for the community.

Therefore, the city group decided to make a similar investment in China, and they wanted to set up a Chinese "city team".

Soriano's plan is to buy a Chinese Super League team directly, targeting a team from Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou.

Such an approach is of course beneficial, that is, the team can directly compete in the Chinese Super League and qualify for the Chinese Super League.

However, after communicating with Gao Bo, Soriano began to consider Gao Bo's plan.

Gao Bo is very interested in this plan. In his opinion, the capital of the City Group, Manchester City's experience in youth training, and England's strong youth training coaching resources can all bring some progress to Chinese football.

The premise is....not to be combined with the original Chinese football.

With the funds of the city group, it is completely possible to start anew, from the bottom up, to establish a team that belongs to the city group completely.

"The current plan can be divided into three steps!"

In the face of several high-level executives of the city group, Gao Bo even specially prepared a PPT.

As a Chinese, he certainly wants to do something for his country's football.

In Gao Bo's view, football is not complicated, but if football is combined with China's human society...it will be complicated.

Fortunately, City Group are "foreign monks", and they may be able to do better in the domestic football environment.

"In China, there are four first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and in addition to Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have teams from the Chinese Super League. Moreover, compared with other cities, Shenzhen is undoubtedly younger. This city was 30 years ago. It’s still just a small fishing village, but in the past 30 years, the city has developed rapidly, and young people from all over the country have flocked here, making this city a city of immigrants that is very different from other cities!”

Gao Bo said.

"Therefore, I recommend Shenzhen, of course, for various reasons... This city has enough young people and strong enough spending power, and at the same time... There are no top league teams here."

"The first step is to train local coaches," Gao Bo said. "On this basis, we will discover our young talents and use Manchester City's youth training standards to conduct systematic youth training."

......

"Of course, the game is very important, but unfortunately, in China, we don't have enough quality youth leagues. This is a problem..." Gao Bo said, "But.... We can use multinational youth leagues. Training exchanges to make up for this shortcoming, this is the second step.”

......

"The third step is to set up a team that truly belongs to a city. The players of this team come from various communities in the city, starting from the lower leagues. If we can get a group of well-trained players in front of us. If you have a good player, it only takes a few years to get a really strong team!"

Gao Bo's PPT is very long.

However, the senior management of the city group looked at each other after hearing this.

They are not Chinese, so whether Chinese football is dead or alive has nothing to do with them.

They just want to make money.

If you follow Gao Bo's plan...slowly and steadily, the possibility of success is indeed high, but....the cycle is too long.

It may take at least seven or eight years to get a really entrenched City team.

Therefore, it is normal for them to hesitate.

Gao Bo sighed inwardly.

This plan of my own is a good thing for Chinese football, but for the city group, it is not very cost-effective.

The city group is very well-funded, but they are not taking advantage of it.

No one will invest real money for seven or eight years, and then wait for the chicken to lay the egg.

"We need to think about it, Gao."

a director said.

Gao Bo nodded.

This was the expected result, and he was not disappointed.

However... He looked at the PPT he had made over thirty pages, and the thoughts in his mind could not be restrained.

money....

Gao Bo thought.

My only problem is money.

Although Gao Bo now earns tens of millions of euros a year, but to realize this huge plan, this amount of money is not enough...

Gao Bo shook his head.

"Then...we can compromise," Soriano said.

"As far as I know, Shenzhen still has a team in the Chinese second-tier league that we can buy."

This plan has been recognized by other high-level officials.

They are...not charitable after all.

After discussions, City Group made a decision to enter the Chinese football market.

And their base is located in Shenzhen.
