Success in football today is a. About money right shakes all the guards big investors they have ruled again the more you spend the more successful you are. Well actually not always man city and peers you have not won the Champions League despite their rich owners from the gulf there are other models that produce inspiring football fairy tales without it zillions of euros being invested in a t. V. I dont look at 3 different story showing how you can succeed despite not having the fattest thank you. In spain a team whose relationship with the fans had cooled off for years turned back into a source of local pride. In provincial germany local sponsors are financing a small club that is knocking on the bundesliga store. And in italy a former yoyo site is fearlessly storming city yeah and even the Champions League. First stop spain. This is gonna population 232000. Madrid barcelona valencia all these spanish football powerhouses from much bigger cities are far away. A little bit more about was owned by an italian family from 2006 to 2016. The pods those who also run watchword in england and in italy under their rule that im not a did come back to the league after having fallen as low as to spanish 4th division before the poll those mandalas to shuttle players between their family on clubs plot 191 players in seoul 285 in those years. Thats enough material for a dozen of the identification of the 0 success on the pitch not to say that i. Got up and made. It or make it i dont have to have a lot with cut up in the. Same 3 out and you know youre not. But then a transformation began that lekker not to the Europa League in 2020 for the 1st time in its history and that was the 3rd lowest budget in the league. Not as wage bill is 35000000 euros while atletico z. Is 34802641 barcelonas 671000000 what has happened well lets be real of course there was a new investor wants to put those walked out chinese sports businessmen jiang took over as owner and president but remember what i said in the beginning money cant necessarily buy you love or titles and so the 1st year of chinese rule in going out i let the club back to the 2nd division. The one that. The nato. Very interested in you know. The man in power from the far east set down and thought things through. Executive power was given to people who completely reformed the club like general manager and funny often on this month rubio. Well you. Made and you. Also then people would. Have been a little bit further. And if they were only a little a little bit. I read are undergoing a young coach was appointed who is married to a local woman had lived in the not as a student and previously only worked for much smaller teams. But i dont want to go. To any western media or the fact that i am a wonderful. Martinez and his humble team got promoted to a league and 2019 and in his 2nd year i can add that martinez became spains youngest ever top flight coach not just that you know tobar 21000 from out of became legal in. It was for the 1st time in 46 years. The new identity was forged at a club whose fans previously felt alienated from their team for years this was done also by hiring regional talent the general managers line was with it and i think were going. To see. Whats next were going to. Is this model. Some doubts remain in september 2020 the president changed overnight and tell you the new man is also chinese and a Business Partner of the previous one if their work on the ground will be influenced by this remains to be seen. Next stop germany. This picture s. Castle overlooks the city of haydn haim population 50000. Football has shaken up this provincial town for an obvious reason. It put it on the map since 2007 the club has fought its way up from the vision 5 to division 2. And at the end of the 292020 season they were just one step away from the bundesliga playing a really good player against former german champions for him and had nightmares wage bill it was a meagre 15000000 euros that season only half of league competitor hamburg left behind a league higher dormans wage bill is 205 and by ends 356000000 euros. Are light years away from that. He didnt. Know you will be 6000 apart from 2 bigger local companies the local baker and the pharmacist also have their share in sponsoring hide and im a concept that grew over time and the numbers for 30. In years now the club has had the same coach function that hes even hired and im born no current professional team in germany cant beat that continuity is keen not seen we need in this medium lift up to stilton some. Disquiet is almost exclusively relying on german players one of the few foreign nurses constantine cares from a hes from neighbor country austria hiding time share of foreigner is a 6. 67 percent thats only every 15th player in the bonus league or the average is 55. 7 percent in the 2nd bonus league its still 26. 5 percent but haydn im lacking stars in big money is compensated through team spirit which has surprised bigger names. Almost beat the german record champions in the cup match in 21000 with a score not quite reflecting the financial situation of both clubs. He says. Than winning team 4 women. Think it is this spirit was not enough to make it to the bundesliga yet while hiding time fans had to watch the relegation games from their gardens to to corona their team lost out to bremen but only on away goals the club has proven its here to stay. And Charles Simon already got the car for the bundesliga if hiding him make it to the Champions League one day they might even have to travel here. Better get more italy 120000 inhabitants. This city hosts one of europes most exciting football teams at the moment. They score and score. 98 goals in 292020. Look at what some International Top clubs have done. There is specter of leagues that same. Club more than 110 years old has always been connected to their local identity.

So how come they managed to get as far as the Champions League quarter finals in 2020 while having only the 13th project in the city around 30000000 euros while league rivals you venters have an estimated 150000000.
