Chapter 581 The New Season Begins
Chapter 581 The New Season Begins
Simeone finally took office.
On the first day after taking office, he told Ricardo: "You can stop buying people. The team's first-team lineup is already very bloated. The current batch of players are very good, and I have the confidence to lead them to a good one. achievements."
"As you wish, the introduction of young players will continue, but in principle the first team will no longer buy players," Ricardo shrugged, "From today on, please treat me as a player under your command, and don't treat me as a Be the boss. I want to do some great things with you, let's do it together."
"Yes, let's start by entering the Champions League this season."
Simeone is under a lot of pressure.It is not easy for this group of players who have never cooperated to play good results.
Immediately after he took office, he arranged several friendly matches in which he needed to train soldiers.
But as everyone expected, in the friendly matches, the team's performance was ups and downs, which was not ideal.
The media ridiculed this, and QPR fans also complained.The team spent nearly 2 million pounds to buy people, must see some effect, right?
They don't care about the team's need to run in, what they want to see is that the team is invincible and invincible.
Of course, most fans are still sensible.They know that the Premier League is much more difficult than the English Championship.
Ricardo has not yet been able to fully devote himself to training. For him, solving the team's financial problems is very important.Although there is Olivia, the nominal chairman, to take care of it, but he also has to help.
Finally, before the Premier League opener, the team's sponsorship was all negotiated.
Of course, they were all talking about short-term contracts, because Ricardo believes that under his leadership, QPR will be a frequent visitor to the Champions League, or even the champion of the Champions League. At that time, the value of the team will be very different.
For the sake of the two big names of Ricciardo and Ronaldo, the sponsors don't give too much.
This year the team will receive a total of 3100 million pounds in sponsorship fees, which is already comparable to the upper and middle reaches of the Premier League.If he reaches the Champions League next year, the money will rise to 5500 million pounds.
Compared with the shabby sponsorship fee of several million pounds a year in the past, it can be said that it has changed drastically.
Driven by the joining of Ricardo and Ronaldo, as well as the team's big change, the team's jersey sales have also seen a gratifying increase. In just over a month, they have made a profit of more than 2000 million pounds.
Season ticket sales are also very gratifying. Last year, the team sold 8400 season tickets. This year, due to the joining of Ricardo, the enthusiasm of the fans has been greatly stimulated. The sales of season tickets have doubled, and 17000 copies have been sold. .
Considering that the team only has more than 8000 seats, it is conceivable that the team's home stadium will be full.
If you count the ticket money and the broadcast share for this season, the team's transfer fee has basically been earned back.
And the team's salary expenditure this season will not be too high.
Ronaldo only had a weekly salary of 10 pounds, while Ricardo didn't pay himself a salary at all, so he could save as much as he could, and there was no need for the IRS to make a fortune.
The team's top salary is currently Thiago Motta, whose weekly salary after tax has reached 13 pounds.
Of course, he definitely deserves the price, and in the next few years, he will still be one of the best playmaking midfielders in the world.
The renovation of the training facilities has been basically completed, and the players' dormitories and canteens have also been updated. This cost Licardo a lot of money, but it is worth the money.
At least Simeone was satisfied after seeing it, saying, "This is probably the top training facility in Europe."
Everything is ready, just waiting for the opening of the league.
However, in the first game of the 2011-2012 Premier League season, Queens Park Rangers suffered a head-on blow.
Although Ricardo opened the scoring for the team, they conceded a goal in the second half and finally lost to Bolton 1:2 at home, failing to get off to a good start.If it weren't for Handanovic's brave performance, the team might even lose 4 or 5 goals.
Then in the second round, Queens Park Rangers challenged Everton away. With Ronaldo taking the lead for the team, the team conceded another goal in the 78th minute. In the end, they shook hands with their opponents 1:1 in the away game. Failed to get all 3 points.But the team's performance has improved.
Some fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Ricardo after the game. They held up banners, "Don't treat our beloved team as a toy."
In this regard, Ricardo said in an interview that he is indeed running the team with his heart, and the fans are asked to be more patient and give the team some time.
In fact, for a newly promoted horse, achieving such a result can be described as quite satisfactory.But who made Ricardo spend so much money?It's more ridiculous to spend money and not get results.
But Licado was not in a hurry.
He could see very clearly that the team's problem was actually very simple, that is, there was not enough tacit understanding between the players. Simeone's time in office was too short, and his tactical thinking had not been fully understood by the players.
Simeone hopes that the team can launch a high-position press and counterattack on the spot, but the players have insufficient understanding and lack of mutual protection, which makes it difficult to grab the ball and instead leads to an empty defense.
Simeone hopes that the team can control the ball well when they are in the lead, but the tacit understanding of the players is not enough, the movement is unreasonable, and it is difficult to control the ball.
These can all be improved.
On August 8, Queens Park Rangers played in the League Cup. Facing the low-level team Rochdale, Simeone lined up a large number of young players. Kanter, Pogba, etc. all got the chance to play, and finally 24:2 Win and usher in a good start to the season.
Once the door to victory is open, it cannot be closed - but not for QPR.
Back in the league, they challenged Wigan Athletic away. Goals from Ricardo and Alderweireld only helped the team gain a draw.However, in this game, with Wigan Athletic leading 2:0, Queens Park Rangers rushed to catch up.
Simeone said at the press conference after the game that he was very satisfied with the team's performance and that victory will come sooner or later.
The team formed mainly by this group of young players is indeed full of vigor and vitality in terms of energy and spirit.
Simeone likes this kind of team.
If the technology is not good, you can make it up with willpower.
Poor tactics can be made up with willpower.
What's more, the team still has two generations of champions, old and new, so the attack power is not a problem.
As long as the team can run in a little better and the defensive state improves a little, there is a real possibility of reaching the top 4.
Don't look at the current team with 2 draws and 1 loss and only 2 points, but the future is definitely promising.
The Premier League transfer window is finally closing.Queens Park Rangers have been the busiest buyers in the transfer market this season, clinching dozens of deals.

The cost is naturally expensive, and fans of Queens Park Rangers have begun to look forward to the team's final ranking in the new season.
