In the eyes of many ordinary fans, professional teams in European football often come from victory on the football field if they want to succeed, but in fact, this impression is wrong.

According to Gao Han’s understanding over the years, if a professional team wants to succeed, off-court management is the key.

For example, the Premier League, which has the most successful business operations, is the benchmark for club operations. Manchester United can withstand the impact of Chelsea's gold dollar, counterattack and win the championship in the shortest time. The important reason is that their excellent business operations capabilities allow them to invest a lot of money in the transfer market.

In contrast, Arsenal has been slimming down and frequently selling its leading stars over the years, which is related to the club's finances.

When fans talk about La Liga, their first impression is that they are the two giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. When they talk about why these two teams are so strong, they naturally talk about the advantages of the membership system.

But in fact, fans can easily forget that there are two other clubs in La Liga, which are also member-based, Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna. If we want to divide it from a regional perspective, Athletic Bilbao's status in the Basque region is also very noble, and this team even uses only Basque players.

Therefore, the advantages of Barcelona and Real Madrid are not just the membership system, but also the management of their clubs.

More obvious examples are Serie A and Bundesliga.

After experiencing the phone gate incident, the Serie A suffered a heavy blow, and Yutus suffered heavy losses and was reduced to the Serie B. But just when everyone thought that the team was going to be doomed, the Zebras soon came back.

Moreover, in just a few years, Yutus once again showed his strength to compete for the Apennines.

For the time being, Inter Milan can still suppress Youtus, but in time, it is probably a difficult thing to say whether these two teams can be better.

What made Yutus recover so quickly after suffering a nightmare of relegation?

Ultimately, it also lies in Yutus' excellent modern management capabilities.

Let’s look at the Bundesliga. Once upon a time, how glorious was the Bundesliga?

In the years of the turn of the century, the Bundesliga team was a strong opponent in European football. First, Heathfield led Dortmund and Bayern Munich to the top of Europa, and then Leverkusen's tragic Sanya King, which shows the strength of the Bundesliga team.

But why has the Bundesliga been in this situation now?

The bankruptcy of Kirch Group caused a major impact on the club's revenue, which is one of them. But you should know that all Bundesliga teams were also in crisis at that time, including Bayern Munich. But why was Bayern Munich the first to get out of the predicament and now it has evolved the Bundesliga into a situation where Bayern Munich stands out?

The answer is simple, this team is better than other Bundesliga teams in terms of operations.

When it comes to commercial operations and club management, Bayern Munich is not inferior to Manchester United at all.

Excellent business operations can bring rich fiscal revenue to the club, and efficient management mechanisms can allow the team to make correct decisions. Even if there are mistakes, they can stop losses decisively to the maximum extent.

After Gao Han came to Bayern Munich, he was not only coaching this team, but also consciously learning the team's efficient management system. Don't underestimate this, because in European football, I don't know how many teams there are even unclearly in the division of powers between the head coach, technical director and sports director, which leads to many conflicts.

He is also paying attention to Bayern Munich's business operations and overseas development, because he believes that future European giants must work hard to spread their influence to the whole world so that they can ensure that they will always stand at the core of world football.

Because Gao Han is not just a head coach, he is also the boss of Chinatown.

If you compare Bayern Munich, then the current management system of Chinatown is still quite rough.

Let’s give the simplest example, take the head coach as an example.

Chinatown coach Pochettino, in theory, has to obey the management of general manager Armando Marcos, but he can directly be responsible to Gao Han, which is easy to have problems.

Yes, Gao Han is very relieved of him now, and he is diligent in doing things, but what if one day other teams come to poach him and he changes jobs?

Isn’t it common for the head coach to change jobs in the middle?

How did Chinatown respond at that time?

Find another one?

Who can I find?

Where can I find it in the middle of this time?

Therefore, according to the mainstream practice in Europe, a technical director should be set up on the head coach, similar to the role of Paul Fotterre of Atletico Madrid, who is fully responsible for the club's competitive affairs.

The advantage of this is that the club can maintain a unified thinking for a long time and will not be affected by the change of head coaches, because the role of the technical director is to ensure the normal operation of the club at all times, and he must have a complete set of plans.

In other words, Pochettino chose to change jobs, and Gao Han's appointed technical director can also find someone from the shortlist to take over the team as soon as possible.

This is true for the head coach, the players, and the staff in all positions of the club are like this.

In Bayern Munich, Heness served as the technical director, so strictly speaking, he is Gao Han’s immediate boss.

But if you want to establish a complete management mechanism, this cannot be done overnight. The technical director is just a part of it. The next thing you need to consider is the balance between business operations and competition.

The most typical case of imbalance is Florentino's Galaxy Battleship, which completely ruined the competition for business.

Manchester United is also unbalanced in this regard and becomes Ferguson's one-man show. Once Ferguson retires, who can fill this huge hole?

Bayern Munich has a good balance in business and competition, so Gao Han is also working hard to learn the management system of the Bundesliga giants in this area. Generally, as long as he receives an invitation, unless he is too busy to pay, he will come to the administrative meeting room of Sebena to listen to their meetings and discuss, and see their decision-making process.

When the time is right, he also wants to implement management system reforms on Chinatown. Only in this way can Chinatown be considered a real professional team.

…………

…………

At the January regular meeting, the first topics to discuss are to summarize last month, prepare for this month, and then budget for the next month.

While Gao Han was listening silently, his eyes kept paying attention to the core senior executives attending the meeting. Each of them was a department head and also professionals. For example, Karl Hopfner, who was in charge of finance, was a very powerful accounting expert.

Although the whole world has been affected by the US subprime mortgage crisis and Europe has also had problems, the German economy remains strong and Bayern Munich's development has not slowed down. Combined with the club's crazy winning streak on the court, off-court business operations have also gained a lot, and are expected to set another historical high.

In terms of expenditure, the management mentioned the issue of player contract renewal, and the focus was Lewandowski.

This summer, Lewandowski joined the team from the Polish League Two. If Bayern Munich gave a salary in the Polish League, it would be quite good, but if it was in the Bundesliga, it would be very low.

But now the situation is different. Lewandowski has performed well recently. In order to prevent players from being centrifuged, the club has taken the initiative to put renewal on the agenda, hoping to lock the star of hope on Bayern Munich's ship as soon as possible.

Gao Han also has to admire the vision of Bayern Munich's three giants and management.

Although many department heads are professionals, many key departments are responsible for former professional players, such as the scouting department, which allows Bayern Munich to better evaluate the value of each player. Lewandowski is undoubtedly the kind of player who will be lit up when anyone sees it.

Especially after scoring the final goal against Karlsruhe, the player gained confidence and performed well in every appearance, which made people have high hopes for his future and there is nothing wrong with renewing the contract.

In addition to renewing the contract, Heness also proposed to promote Nellinger as the team's technical director. As for the team leader, Nellinger's deputy, this personnel transfer has obviously reached a tacit understanding, and it was soon unanimously recognized by the management and passed.

It should be said that both of these resolutions have something to do with Gao Han, but he is not invited to attend.

Sure enough, just when Gao Han was puzzled, Heness raised a new issue.

“Not long ago, we received invitations from Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the Middle East to go to the Middle East for winter training.”

When Heness said this, he specially pointed his eyes at Gao Han and smiled slightly.

"We all know that the winter in Germany is very cold and is not suitable for team training, so we went to southern Spain last season to train, but this time there were sponsor invitations from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and the local government also supported and welcomed it. The temperature there is about 20 degrees, which is very suitable for winter training."

"Of course, the Middle East has developed very fast over the years, and Dubai has become a shopping paradise for tourists around the world. The club has always attached great importance to the development of the Middle East. In the past, it has organized training camps in the Middle East. I wonder what everyone's opinions are this time?"

It is November now, and the winter break training session is in January. It is just right now, and it is even a bit late.

Gao Han knew that they invited him to attend because they wanted to listen to their opinions.

“Have the itinerary and the warm-up match been arranged?”

Hones nodded, "The entire Middle East training camp lasts for 19 days. The first week was a training camp, and the next two warm-up matches were arranged. The training venue was arranged in Dubai, and the two warm-up matches were in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia respectively."

It is obvious that the management has communicated and contacted.

Gao Han has never been to the mysterious Middle East, but since everyone in the club thinks it is feasible, there is no need for him to pay more attention to this matter, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll send me a detailed itinerary and I'll ask the coaching staff to prepare in advance."

As soon as Gao Han made a statement, everyone in the conference room immediately laughed at ease.

With his coaching performance over the past year, Gao Han has a very high reputation in Bayern Munich. To be honest, he has a veto power in terms of competitive affairs.

Take the Middle East training camp as an example. If Gao Han doesn't want to, Bayern Munich will have to cancel the itinerary.

"Oh, by the way, before the warm-up match in Abu Dhabi, the team may still have to accept the reception from the chief of Abu Dhabi. They said that there are many hard-core fans in their royal family and they have long wanted to see Gao Han and our team's style."

As soon as Heness finished speaking, the venue laughed in a mess.

Gao Han’s influence is beyond doubt. Fans around the world praised it very much. But I didn’t expect that even members of the royal family in the Middle East have his fans, which is new.

Someone even joked that he asked Gao Han to help see if there were any members of the royal family who were suitable for playing football. He would bring a few to Bayern Munich, which would be of great benefit to the team's development of the Middle East market.

This proposal was immediately urged by everyone present.

Gao Han was sweating all the time when he heard this. Is this still a meeting?
