@@hrishikeshchavhan712 facts. Real Madrid benefited more from CR7 and Zidane then they did. Their success and identity is intrinsically linked los blancos. Beckham played in Manchester, Madrid, Paris and LA and none of those clubs can really claim him. He had HUGE success at Man Utd but his time at Manchester is defined by the frenzied media coverage due the nascent celeb culture in UK being obsessed with his relationship with a Spice girl. I'd say his time playing for England was the only time he really was considered by his footballing contribution. He gave more to England than he got... He was beloved as a footballer when he wore the national jersey and not celeb debacle. Not surprising when he himself said playing and captaining England was his greatest achievement above his titles with numerous titles with Man Utd or his mega move to Real Madrid. His passion at the national level where he would debut various hairstyles that would be copied in every primary school and his performances like against Greece made him loved in England. Glenn hoddle dropped for the first two games of France 98 then told the media it was because Beckham was not concentrating then Becks played the third game scored a banging freekick to secure a place in the last 16. The next game was against Argentina where he got a red card for 'fouling' Diego Simeone and England were knocked out. He received crazy amount of abuse and media ridicule. He bounced back became England captain and in 2001 was the biggest reason England qualified for the Japan/Korea WC. It was these comebacks and commitment to the national team despite the abuse that made him beloved because he didn't need England he was richer than the whole squad. However at club level it was always meh..

Buuut, he is the reason why clubs started touring in Asia and North America, which brought so much money to the clubs. All that media frenzy helped lift the Premier League and generate significantly more revenue not only for ManU, but for all Prem teams. Beckham was a pioneer of modern football and paved the way for footballers to be more than just athletes and become businessmen and brands themselves. What a legend!

@@cristianh.5133 Beckham was without a doubt celeb and pioneer for footballers to market themselves in pop culture. But the Beckham brand didn't help Real Madrid much, outside football maybe, but in the pitch no way. You find him underrated because you watch him curve the ball, that's it, only crosses and passes. Apart from that he had nothing, Raul was better than Beckham. Also clubs like Real Madrid don't need a brand, the kind of football they play makes them a brand. How many people would have started watching AC Milan when Beckham joined them? Pretty sure a lot less than Juventus when CR7 joined them.

Haaland going to Man City has nothing to do with image rights and everything to do with the Madrid situation. When haaland decided to move, Real were pursuing Mbappe completely and already had an in form world class ballon d’or winner in Benzema playing in that role. Haaland would have gained absolutely nothing by joining Madrid at that point in time. Although it might be a whole different story a year or two later from now

@miransaric3210 Год назад

@fuzzyhair321 Год назад

@BIadelores Год назад

He has a 4 year contract with City so whoever wants him would have to use the release clause which is probably like $200 or so something even Madrid would be hesitant to pay in lump sum. That said, Haaland said he wants to prove himself in every top league, so whenever he goes to La Liga he'll still probably end up in Madrid by simple virtue of there being no one else who can really pay for his wages.

@epicgamersvv1582 Год назад

I think the biggest reason why Haaland did not go to Madrid is the same why a lot of English stars dont. Haaland was born in Leeds and is a huge Man City and Leeds fan it makes more sense from his perspective to try to win with his boyhood club than at Madrid.

Btw the only reason why Madrid stepped away from signing Galácticos is because Perez soon understood that there is no way anyone can compete against oil money. And at the same time the oil and foreign investment money was creating a huge bubble in football transfers making every player hyper expensive. Hence they switched formulas and since 2015 , they decided to invest in young players. And this strategy worked amazing for them. They won last champions league with a goal scored by Vini jr (bought when he was 16) and assisted by fede Valverde (bought when he was 18). There is a Tifo football video explaining this. You can say whatever you want but Perez is a genius.

Okay, nobody seems to mention this, so here we go. PSG pays Mbappe €636 million gross without bonuses over 3 years + he reportedly has a say in how the club is run. Also, PSG's entire YEARLY revenue in 2020-2021 was less than this: €556. They forecast around €700 million in revenue for 2022-2023. In contrast, Real Madrid's highest-paid player is Eden Hazard atm, earning about €160 over 5 years. Real forecast a €769.6 million revenue for the 2022-2023 season and constantly ranked in the top 3 football clubs with the highest revenue in the last 10 years. Like this year, around 30% of PSG's revenue is Mbappe's salary. Insane. I will leave it up to you all to decide how big a part this played in him not signing for Real Madrid.

Kinda disagree on this one. It is widely reported Mbappe was granted full control of his image rights by Madrid, but PSG offered him a much higher salary and control over the club’s transfer policy. On the other hand, Haaland did not sign with Madrid because he wasn’t given a guarantee to start over Benzema. Haaland was also not pursued as a priority target, Florentino was obsessed with signing Mbappe and devoted all of the club’s resources and attention into his signing.

@almouctaribrahimidder8800 Год назад

Full control is incorrect, Madrid most reliable Journalists (Cortegana, Arrancha , Sanchez) said that Madrid offered 70% max which is their club record for example even Ronaldo and Beckham did retained that much

The main reason of rejection by Mbappe and Haaland is being the main man. The way RMA were trying to bring in both Haaland and Mbappe, all while having Benzema, it would result in a clash. Resulting in less game time and exposure for all. They did the perfect job not to join RMA as now we can see them being the main man at their respective clubs rather than one being benched to make room for other. We can't have another Benzema or Bale who'll just prefer being in shadow while having the ability to be the main man.

He's already found. The new Bernabéu concept. A multipurpose megapavillion in the middle of Madrid, connected to the rest of the city by metro, train and buses and also, through the train stations and the airport, to the rest of the country and the whole world. A venue that, instead of being used exclusively for some 60 football matches a year, will be able to be exploited for congresses, fairs, shows and other sports almost every day. They think this will increase the income from the stadium exploitation at least 250 M € per year.

@miransaric3210 Год назад

I mean, this is certainly a well-made video, especially the historic bit, but I feel like some of it is a little overstated. There was no room for Haaland on this squad with Benzema playing himself to a BdO award. Meanwhile Mbappe's rights certainly played a role but even reduced rights at Madrid have a bigger sway than at PSG. He just had insane national pressure to stay and an even bigger upfront salary, highly doubt it's any kind of long-term indictment of Madrid as they'll always have top level draw power for players.

According to the reports Mbappe and Madrid was in full agreement with the splitting of imagine rights, what the amount was is uncertain. The reality is he used Madrid name to get lucrative deal with PSG and was persuaded to stay by influential people in France. Everyone knows countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia loves to waste ridiculous money. Therefore that imagine rights deals still exist in Madrid. The irony is he would still earn more money in the long run if he came to Madrid. Not only would he be exposed to largest fanbase in the world and biggest sponsorship deal which Madrid has, but also the amount of bonuses he would be receiving winning major trophies, never mind the sporting legacy. Ronaldo today earns 40 mil annually from his Instagram account alone. His popularity skyrocketed when he came to Madrid, go figure.

Amazon threatened Ligue 1 with terminating their broadcasting deal. Macron presidency was weak and needed to get votes from the french African and Arab population and Mbappe was perfect as a Cameroonian and Algerian. Former french president who owns significant real estate in Paris also called him and his mother. The emir of Qatar also personally spoke to him. He was basically told france will lose billions, Ligue 1 will be destroyed and Marine la pen a far right candidate will become president unless you stay. That's a lot for a young man.

5:35 That’s not entirely true. Haaland didn’t go to Madrid coz they put all their eggs in the Mbappe basket, which seemingly made sense at the time. Even now, considering Haaland and Benz would be competing for the same spot it wouldn’t entirely work out. Mbappe, as much as it’s kinda still smarts, Is arguably the best option for Real Madrid if and when available and possible. Just in pure footballing terms. The commercial side can’t be underestimated by any means either

@cedricb7904 Год назад

It's true, that "giving up image rights" isn't the way to attract "already superstars" in modern european football to sign for your club - because the most of the money of these "already superstars" is *already* from their image rights before their transfer to a big UCL Club... Football is changing as it's played. But Real Madrid got it: They changed their signing strategy & build there future on teenagers most under 18 I think... Real Madrid don't sign superstars any more, they try to create them as you can hope for Vinicius, Endrick, Camavinga and so on... With Messi, Ronaldo, Modric, Benzema, Bale, Suarez ... A Generation slowly says "good bye", but I see the new age of football: Mappe, Haaland, Pedri, Musiala and of cause my boy from Hertha BSC Derry! (I believe in you) PS.: We need a video about the upcoming clup world cup tournament, will al Nassr stock up their squad strong enough until 2025 that they (or other clubs around the world outside of europe) are competitiv with Europes elite, so "Does the upcoming Club World Cup Tournament 2025 offer the World a realistic chance that high-class club football can become more globale - or will the Champions-League-Title continue to be the ultimate trophy in club football?"

AI back with a banger in the new year with incredible editing. However, I don't believe that players don't wanna come to Madrid or that it is "the fall" of Real. Real just moved on to an even better strategy - getting very talented players very early and giving them the time to develop. Just look at what Valverde and Vinicius Jr. are doing for them on the pitch now. This will continue with Camavinga and Tchouameni in the coming years.

Let's see how big players move in the following years but at this point, Real's is the current Champions League winner after beating PSG, Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool. All of that without Cristiano and spending much less than main rivals. I think Real Madrid still have good chances to stay on the top of European clubs for a while, with or without Mbappe or Haaland. Maybe it'd worth mention next Florentino's bet: rebuild Real's stadium matching perfectly with all stadiums closed due to covid.

Perez is a great businessman. I think he certainly benefited from managing the world's best and prestigious club but we know many can mess that up (ehem Barca). The Galactico strategy worked then but now he realised that it wont and seems like he has switched his strategy to spending more conservatively, getting cheap young talent and just being careful all around. He was a petty child about the whole mbappe ordeal but it was a good reality check for him that I am sure he learned his lesson.

@RealLaone Год назад

This is something that makes the Ronaldo vs Messi arguments crazy, they're 2 sides of the same coin. Almost like 2Pac vs Biggie, 1 is immensely talented, the other is a movement, an influencial brand, someone who is a powerful voice with a charm to bring in new fans. When that brand brings in the money, the talent recognizes their value and their price go up aswell, simply because they are the competition, but they need each other imo. Players may follow the same rules in the field but not all are equal in terms of brands, some need to make a crazy amount so the rest could have a voice over their own value. The Beckham bit is true because I never used to watch the sport but knew who he was. If Beckham did it, Christiano did it, and Mbappe will did it.

A big problem is that La Liga has become a footballing backwater with 2 enormous clubs and the rest trying to catch up. The TV money isn't shared out so the big clubs - Madrid and Barsa - take most of it, Some clubs in the Spanish 1st Division have problems even paying their players and keeping the club afloat. Big clubs like Valencia and Athletic Club de Bilbao will never get back the power they once had and will find it difficult to attract and keep top players. So games for Madrid tend to be glorified training sessions. It's not quite like the situation in Scotland, but it's getting there, which is why Florentino and the Barsa board are so keen to have a super league.

@EviLpr0duction 11 месяцев назад

that strategy only worked back then since social media was still very new and people didn't fully understand how much they would be able to make if they were able to market themselves well. Perez was basically a middle man offering them an easier way to get "famous" with what seemed like more money too. altho in this day and age that's not needed anymore you can make so much more on your own.
