"George, if you have any plans to play business competitions in the future, please remember to call us!" David Gill said to George in an extremely eager tone in the VIP lounge of Los Angeles International Airport, and Kenyon and Valdano nodded. Obviously, the two of them agreed very much with the Manchester United CEO's words!
This time in the United States for group training, Manchester United can be said to be the biggest winner. After all, the Red Devils, which have always focused on commercial development and have reached a strategic partnership with the New York Yankees early, have a fan base in the United States that far exceeds that of the other three clubs. And this was fully reflected in this trip to the United States!
Relying on stars such as Beckham and Donovan who have a lot of popularity in the United States, Tottenham and other teams can ensure that they do not fall behind in off-field commercial promotion activities. However, when the two sides play, the people in the stands who choose to support Manchester United are far away. More fans than the other three clubs!
10 million US dollars, this is the net profit earned by Manchester United during this week's training camp in the United States. This is not counting the numerous commercial sponsorship contracts that Manchester United has obtained from American companies interested in entering the European market through the influence of the Red Devils!
High game revenue and large commercial sponsorship contracts are the main reasons why major European football clubs have always been so interested in playing commercial games in the United States, a football desert. Because in this mature and huge market, as long as their plans are reasonable and sound enough, making money will never be difficult!
Benefiting from the vigorous promotion of media companies such as Facebook and News Group, although Tottenham's overall revenue is somewhat worse than that of Manchester United, in this business training, Tottenham's sponsorship contracts and game income were still successful. Ranked second among the four clubs!
For example, Adidas. After being given a severe lesson by George, Dreyfuss, who learned that Tottenham were heading to the United States to seek gold, immediately sent someone to offer him a five-year jersey sponsorship contract with a total amount of 60 million pounds as a token of recognition. Apology for disrespecting George in the previous G14 meeting. In addition, those American companies that paid close attention to the trends in Europe and realized that Tottenham is now one of the most powerful football clubs in the UK and is very likely to dominate European football in the next few years also came to visit during this period. Expressed his wish to join Tottenham’s sponsors!
Faced with the enthusiasm of American companies, Adele and Elizabeth, who are in charge of this aspect, are naturally very busy during this period. In the end, after some careful selection and negotiation, Tottenham signed sponsorship contracts with more than a dozen American companies, and business income also increased significantly!
By the way, at George's request, the terms of most of these sponsorship contracts were controlled by Adele and others to within three years. Because he knows very well that Tottenham's reputation and commercial appeal will only continue to increase as time goes by, and English football will soon enter an era of all-round skyrocketing income. Therefore, if it is between now and If these companies sign a long-term contract, then Tottenham will definitely suffer the loss!
Look at Real Madrid again. Although it has gathered a lot of popularity relying on Beckham's golden brand, it is a pity that this Spanish giant has an inherent disadvantage in English-speaking countries such as the United States, so it cannot compare with Manchester United and Tottenham in terms of revenue. However, even so, Real Madrid also received a profit share of 6 million US dollars and a sponsorship contract with a total value of more than 10 million US dollars in this week, making Galeries Lafayette and Valdano smile from ear to ear!
Chelsea, which is not as well-known as the other three, has an unpalatable playing style, and does not have George's huge network of contacts and media resources. Chelsea, which lags behind clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid in terms of commercial development, is undoubtedly the one with the lowest profits. However, Kenyon was not dissatisfied with George and others who had made more profits because of this, because he knew that Chelsea was lagging behind other companies in this regard and needed time to slowly develop and expand the market, so the income was lower than Tottenham and Manchester United are also inevitable. Moreover, the low income mentioned here is only in relative terms. If Kenyon now dares to show off Chelsea's gains during this period, it is guaranteed that a large number of people will express envy and hatred for the Blues!
To sum up, it can be said that the four clubs made a lot of money during this training session in the United States. And this result naturally strengthened the thoughts and confidence of others to "follow George and have meat to eat." That's why David Gill said what he said before, and Kenyon and Valdano did not express any objections.
"George, how do you plan to allocate the playing time of Klose and Drogba in the new season?" Mourinho, who had come over at some point, also joined in the chat, pretending to unintentionally raise something he was very concerned about. question, and at the same time pricked up my ears, hoping to get some useful information!
Although Arsenal and Manchester United are also very strong, in Mourinho's eyes, Tottenham led by George is Chelsea's biggest enemy on the way forward!
"Haha, what else can I do? It's just a Community Shield. I don't want the players to work hard in this kind of useless competition before their condition is adjusted." Regarding this sharp question, George immediately became alert and casually said He responded with a haha, "Jose, instead of caring about the situation on my side, it's better to think about how to appease Crespo in your team. Don't forget, this is the center forward of the Argentine national team. He also played last season. He has performed well in AC Milan, and he will definitely not be willing to serve as a substitute for Ibrahimovic!"
The reason why George chose to avoid talking about Mourinho's issue is because after returning to London, Tottenham, the winner of the FA Cup last season, will usher in the Community Shield with Premier League champion Chelsea. finals!
Therefore, at this extremely sensitive moment, George has no intention of talking about anything related to the team in front of Mourinho!
Too many words lead to mistakes. If George does not want to be tricked out of more information by Mourinho, then keeping his mouth shut and remaining silent is obviously the most appropriate choice.
Some people may think that George is a little careless and think that Mourinho will not personally come to inquire about Tottenham's military situation for a more warm-up game like the Community Shield. But George wanted to tell these people that Mourinho is so narrow-minded. With the arrogant and arrogant Portuguese maniac who never wants to be inferior to others, he will definitely try every means to increase Chelsea's chances of winning, thereby proving that his coaching ability is better than George!
