I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 170: Win the Premier League title again! Barcelona, ​​do you still remember the 4-0 win over Monaco? [Subscribe]

"yeah!!!"

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, in Stourbridge, a small town on the west outskirts of Birmingham, a little boy with Ronaldo's iconic tile hair in 02 was cheering excitedly.

At this moment, he, like countless children around the world, is cheering for the winning Bayswater Chinese.

Next to the little boy, there was a child about 4 years old, who was held tightly by their black mother.

But when he heard his brother's cheers, the 4-year-old child was also excited and danced.

“The Bayswater Chinese won!”

The boy with the tile-headed hair turned around excitedly and hugged the white father beside him, looking extremely excited.

“They really won!”

“We have reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years!”

"awesome!"

The father was also enjoying the show, but he was not as excited as the kid with the tile-headed hair. Instead, he looked at his wife speechlessly.

The black man's wife shook her head helplessly, "It's all your fault that you always take him to play football. Now he is so focused on playing and watching football that he has completely neglected his studies."

"It's okay, his skills are very good, I believe he can become a professional player in the future!"

"Becoming a professional player?" The mother laughed softly. "How can it be that easy?"

After a pause, she looked at her husband again and said, "You have played football for more than ten years and have always been struggling in the amateur league. You have scored so many goals, but you can't play professional football. How can he do that?"

"I'd better concentrate on studying, go to college, and find a good job in the future, so that the high tuition fees every year will not be in vain."

The little boy with the tile-headed hair attends a monastery private school in Edgbaston, a suburb southwest of Birmingham. The annual tuition fee is 20,000 to 30,000 pounds, which is a huge burden for their family.

So, as a police officer’s husband, I would play amateur football every weekend.

Over the past few years, the white father has also made a name for himself in amateur competitions and is famous for his goals, so many amateur clubs would invite him to "help" and call it a transfer.

In fact, there are appearance fees for everyone.

The white father relies on his salary and appearance fees from playing football to supplement the family income.

The black mother is a company employee working in human resources.

Their family is a bit strange. The husband is only 33 years old, but the wife is 39 years old.

The wife has the final say on all matters big and small at home.

Now, once his wife starts talking, the husband doesn’t say anything more.

On the contrary, the kid with tile-headed hair became anxious when he heard it.

"Mom, the teacher at our school said that I was the best soccer player she had ever seen."

As he spoke, the tile-haired kid hugged his mother's arm affectionately and said, "Mom, I think I can be a professional player. Please let me try."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and pointed to the TV, which was showing the scene of Bayswater's Chinese players celebrating wildly.

"I'll go to Bayswater Chinese. You just heard that they are the best and strongest football team in the UK now!"

"How is that possible? Stop imagining it!"

The black mother tried to calm her son down, saying it was just a momentary whim.

"Do you know how many people the Bayswater Chinese Youth Training Camp recruits every year? But how many people sign up?"

The kid with the tile-head hair was naturally confused.

But he vaguely guessed what his mother meant.

It's very difficult to get into this club's youth training camp!

“When I was playing football at Remington, some of my teammates did take their children to participate in the Bayswater Chinese youth training trials,” my husband casually remarked.

"That's right, mom, dad's teammates also do this, shall we try it too?"

The black mother shook her head. "How is this possible? Isn't there a limit to the selection of players for youth training?"

"Indeed, but some situations are special, like us, under the age of 6, and not registered with other youth training clubs. If we are really selected, there will be many ways to circumvent it."

"If it doesn't work out, we can even move our home to that area."

"Are you kidding me?"

Hearing what her father said, her mother suddenly became anxious. "It's nearly 2 kilometers from here to London. How can you come back to work if you move your family there?"

The husband chuckled and said, "It's not bad, but it's a little far. But if you look at it, from Remington to London, it's only about 1 kilometers."

Remington is a small town just south of Coventry, about 120 kilometers from London.

The white father "transferred" to Remington from his hometown team Stourbridge in 08.

"Denise, I really think we can give it a try," the husband said earnestly.

The wife was not the kind of person who was overbearing and unreasonable, so she remained silent.

"I heard from Remington's teammates that Bayswater Chinese is the best youth training team in the Premier League and even in Europe. Their youth training is also equipped with dormitories, and the hardware and software standards are world-class."

"In addition, they attach great importance to cultural courses. They cooperate with good schools in the western suburbs of London. Their club also employs excellent teachers at high salaries to guide children's homework and cultural courses."

"So, in their Key Stage 2 SATs, the pass rate for English and maths is 5% at level 6, and quite a few children even get level ."

"So high?" his wife Denise was surprised.

Is this still a football club?

The private school they are currently attending does not even have a 5% pass rate for Level on the SAT exam.

The maximum is level 4.

Although there is only a difference of 1 level, if your child wants to apply to some good private or public schools, the minimum SAT test requirement is to reach level 5 or above.

"This is where youth training comes in. If the academic curriculum doesn't meet the standards, football training will be stopped. This is also for the parents' sake. Even if the child has no potential for development in football and leaves the youth training camp, he or she can still continue his or her studies without any delay."

After hearing what her husband said, his wife Denise was actually moved.

The reason why she spent so much money to send her children to private schools was because she hoped they could study well.

If what my husband said is true, then the youth training camp for Chinese people in Bayswater is much better than the private school they attend.

The key is, it’s free!
You can save 20,000 to 30,000 pounds in tuition fees a year.

"But, Mark, do you think we have a chance to get in?"

Her husband Mark nodded heavily and said, "We can give it a try. If we fail this year, we can try again next year. He is only 6 years old, so we can at least try for another 3 years."

After a pause, he continued, "This kid inherited your bloodline and is very athletic. Don't be fooled by his skinny appearance. He is actually very fast and very flexible. He has been training with me over the years and is very talented in playing football."

"In the next period of time, I will focus on training him. I believe there is still a good chance."

Denise was a very decisive woman. When she heard what her husband said, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and give it a try. If we are selected, we can figure out what to do next. If we are not selected, everything else is just empty talk."

Having said that, Denise pulled the boy with the tile-headed hair over again and looked at him seriously.

"Zude, are you sure you want to play football in London?"

The little boy was obviously frightened by his mother's tone. He thought his mother disagreed and wanted to deny it.

But when he saw his father looking at him encouragingly, he immediately plucked up the courage.

"Yes, I want to play for the best club in England!"

"Very good, then you have to train well next. Mom will help you sign up, and then mom and dad will take you to participate in the selection!"

The little boy with tile-head hair suddenly became excited again. He jumped up and cheered, and wanted to rush out of the house to practice basketball in the yard outside.

This left Mark and Denise speechless.

What time is it!
……

Overnight, media around the world were scrambling to report that the Chinese from Bayswater had reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons.

Having already won the league championship, they also reached the FA Cup and Champions League finals.

This amazed the media and fans around the world.

Is it hard to say, is the Triple Crown really coming?

The Times commented after the game that it was convincing that the Bayswater Chinese beat Manchester United 3-1 and advanced to the Champions League final.

“Whether it was a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in the first leg or a 2-0 win at Wembley in the second leg, Bayswater Chinese showed outstanding dominance!”

The Times believes that after experiencing the "failure" of last season, Yang Cheng has obviously learned lessons this season.

The biggest change has been in the Premier League.

With the maturity of Dzeko and the rise of players such as Gareth Bale, Di Maria and Walcott, the Chinese in Bayswater have been extremely efficient in scoring points in the Premier League this season.

Not only did Bayswater Chinese perform well against strong teams, but they also basically grabbed the points they deserved when facing mid- and lower-level teams. This allowed Bayswater Chinese to establish a leading advantage in the Premier League early on.

It was precisely because of the huge lead in the Premier League that the Chinese team at Bayswater played more easily in the second half.

"Fighting on three fronts, Bayswater Chinese will hardly be affected. If necessary, they can even temporarily sacrifice the league!"

The Times also believes that Bayswater Chinese's outstanding performance this season also comes from the growth and progress of the substitute lineup.

Players born in the 90s, such as Aaron Ramsey and Hazard, have performed well this season.

"Lewandowski, the substitute striker, has scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season, ranking third in the Premier League standings, which is a very obvious improvement over last season."

"What about the English twin stars Gareth Bale and Walcott?"

"They both scored 12 goals in the Premier League, which is also more than last season."

"And Di Maria, who was criticized in the first half of the season, has scored 8 Premier League goals so far."

“It can be said that the outstanding performance of Bayswater Chinese is the result of the overall explosion of the team!”

The Times believes that the current Bayswater Chinese are definitely the most competitive team in the Premier League.

But this season, the best performer in the Bayswater Chinese team is Bosnian center Dzeko.

So far, no other player in the Premier League has scored more than 20 goals.

Including Cristiano Ronaldo.

Dzeko has scored 26 goals, making him the most threatening attacker in the Premier League this season.

Looking at the four major European leagues, except for Eto'o of La Liga who leads Dzeko with 27 goals, top scorers including Diego Forlan, David Villa, Ibrahimovic and others are currently behind Dzeko.

The Bosnian center has established himself as a top killer thanks to his outstanding performances for two consecutive seasons.

More importantly, he has the most assists among all scorers and is also the center with the most comprehensive technical characteristics.

Many media even believe that Dzeko is the most comprehensive super center forward in world football today!
Especially after beating Manchester United 2-0 in the second leg.

The Times commented that Dzeko's performance was almost perfect except for not scoring a goal.

"When the team was facing Manchester United's tight defense, Dzeko's pulling effectively led to the defense of Manchester United players."

"The first goal, Yaya Toure's long-range shot, came from Dzeko's forward run, which led to the retreat of defensive players such as Ferdinand and Vidic."

"Not to mention the second goal, Dzeko's pull and pass directly created space for Walcott and Maicon."

Under such circumstances, Dzeko became the undisputed number one superstar in the Bayswater Chinese team.

Moreover, he is one year younger than Ronaldo.

"If Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is worth 1 million euros, then how much is Bayswater Chinese Dzeko worth?"

……

The day after the Chinese beat Manchester United 3-1 on aggregate at Bayswater, Barcelona beat Arsenal 5-2 on aggregate.

Wenger's Gunners drew 2-2 with Barcelona at home in the first leg.

After returning to Camp Nou, Guardiola's team defeated Arsenal 3-1.

It is worth mentioning that Barcelona is also far ahead in La Liga this season and also reached the final of the Spanish King's Cup.

In other words, Barcelona is also aiming for the treble this season.

If Guardiola's team successfully wins the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, they will become the first team in Spanish history to win the treble.

This also made the Catalan media and fans extremely excited.

Some Barcelona spokespersons have even begun to say that Guardiola's Barcelona is the Dream Team III.

As the last obstacle standing in Barcelona's way to the treble, the Chinese in Bayswater were naturally strongly denigrated by the Catalan media and fans.

The three major European bookmakers have all offered their odds.

William Hill gives Bayswater Chinese odds of 2 and Barcelona odds of 1.73.

Must win has narrowed the gap a bit, but Barcelona is 1.8 and Bayswater Chinese is 1.9.

This also proves that the outside world is generally more optimistic about Guardiola's Barcelona.

But whether it is the odds or the difference in strength between the teams, they are actually on par with each other.

But in the mouths of the Catalan media, it immediately became: Barcelona became the biggest favorite, and the Chinese in Bayswater were unanimously looked down upon.

What he said was not wrong, but it was obviously an attempt to lead the discussion!
The British media immediately responded by believing that the Chinese from Bayswater would successfully defend their title in Rome.

"This will be the first team to successfully defend the Champions League title since the Champions League was reformed!"

The Daily Telegraph even listed several pieces of evidence that the Chinese in Bayswater defeated Barcelona.

This includes the previous encounters between the two sides in European competitions, where Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese had an advantage in results, which was enough to boost the confidence of the Premier League team.

"Barcelona, ​​have you forgotten the 4-0 win over Monaco?"

As the Premier League head coach, Wenger was very disappointed with the result of the game after failing at Camp Nou.

Wenger spoke highly of Guardiola's Barcelona and accepted the defeat with conviction.

But on the other hand, Wenger believes that it is still hard to say who will be better between Barcelona and the Chinese team from Bayswater in the Champions League final.

"If the Chinese in Bayswater want to win the final, they must figure out how to freeze Messi!"

Wenger believes that Arsenal's failure at Camp Nou was due to their failure to keep hold of Messi.

"I'm very disappointed. We gave Messi too much space, which allowed him to score two goals. Otherwise, the suspense of the game would not have ended so early."

Wenger believes that the defense of the Chinese team in Bayswater will be better, so in this Champions League final, Wenger is optimistic about the Chinese team in Bayswater.

"Yang Cheng is only two titles away from true greatness: the FA Cup and the Champions League this season!"

Wenger's remarks somewhat imply that he hopes Yang Cheng will avenge him.

Judging from public opinion around the world, both the media and fans are more optimistic about Barcelona.

As the defending champions, Bayswater Chinese are not favored.

On the one hand, it is because of the curse of defending the title, and on the other hand, Bayswater Chinese is still slightly inferior to Barcelona in terms of fan base and brand influence.

This also led to Barcelona becoming the number one favorite to win the Champions League final after the matchup was announced.

……

After the Champions League semi-finals, we returned to the Premier League and welcomed the 36th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese played at home against Aston Villa.

Dzeko, who missed several scoring opportunities and failed to score in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, was very active in this game.

Just six minutes into the game, Dzeko got the ball in the penalty area, caused a foul by Aston Villa defender Luke Young, and got a penalty kick.

The Bosnian center forward scored the penalty he created in one fell swoop.

The first half ended with 1-0.

Aston Villa's tight defence sustained them for the rest of the first half.

But just one minute into the second half, Luke Young was disturbed by Di Maria and made a mistake in passing. Dzeko intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and took a long shot from the front of the penalty area, once again penetrating Aston Villa's goal.

2 is better than 0!

And in the 59th minute, Bayswater Chinese got a chance for a corner kick in the frontcourt.

Rakitic took the corner kick and sent it to the front point.

Pepe's header was saved by goalkeeper Friedel and fell into the penalty area, causing a big melee.

In the melee, Dzeko had a flash of inspiration and used his heel to kick the ball into Aston Villa's goal like a dragon's tail, 3-0!

hat trick!

The Bosnian center forward was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and was cheered by more than 8 fans at Wembley Stadium.

In the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Aston Villa 3-0 thanks to Dzeko's hat-trick.

In the same round, Liverpool defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-0 away from home with Gerrard scoring twice.

But it was the Manchester derby at Old Trafford that really caught the attention.

Manchester United, who had just fought hard against the Chinese team in Bayswater in the Champions League semi-finals, returned to their home court and showed an aggressive momentum from the start, launching a series of attacks.

But in the 6th minute, Robinho dribbled the ball on the left and completed a beautiful combination with Kaka. Kaka shook off Carrick on the left side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot, penetrating the Manchester United goal.

After that, Manchester United launched a series of attacks.

But in the 29th minute, Manchester City once again relied on Kaka's breakthrough in the middle and a wonderful pass in front of the penalty area. Robinho dribbled past young Rafael and shot into the goal, expanding the score.

In the remaining time of the game, no matter how Manchester United attacked, they were unable to break through Manchester City's goal.

It was not until the 88th minute of the second half that Ronaldo scored a goal against Manchester City with a direct free kick from about 25 meters away.

2 is better than 1!

Manchester City defeated Manchester United away from home thanks to Kaka's pass and shot.

This can be considered a not-so-small upset!

Ferguson was furious after the game.

Manchester United suffered a heavy blow after losing the city derby.

Especially in the standings.

After 36 rounds of games, it was clear that the Chinese team in Bayswater had already won the championship.

Manchester United scored 80 points, followed by Arsenal with 78 points, Liverpool and Manchester City with 77 points, and Chelsea with 74 points.

With only two rounds left in the Premier League, the battle for the top four continues.

What is very unfavorable for both Manchester United and Arsenal is that in the next 37th round of the Premier League, the Gunners will visit Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

This is definitely a crucial life-and-death battle.

Therefore, this game also attracted strong attention from fans all over the world.

……

Manchester Old Trafford Stadium.

In the 37th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Arsenal at home.

When the game reached the 13th minute, Arsenal's midfielder passed the ball continuously, and Gourcuff and Fabregas made continuous passes and cuts to create opportunities.

The Spanish midfielder transferred the ball to the right, Arshavin shook off Evra, dribbled the ball diagonally into the Manchester United penalty area, forced a breakthrough to the end line, and sent a cross in front of the goal.

Van Persie came from behind and kicked the ball into Manchester United's goal before Ferdinand.

At this moment, Wenger, who was sitting in front of the visiting team's coaching booth, jumped up excitedly and cheered loudly, as if he wanted to show off his power in front of Ferguson. Manchester United quickly counterattacked.

Unfortunately, 5 minutes later, Carrick made a diagonal pass and Rooney headed the ball, but it was slightly off the goal.

After that, no matter how the two teams launched their attacks, they were always just a little bit short.

Ronaldo took three direct free kicks, but they were either blocked by the wall or went wide of the goal.

Until the end of the game, neither side was able to score again.

In the end, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 away with a goal from Van Persie.

Ferguson's team lost two consecutive home games!

This is indeed quite outrageous!

If we say that we lost to Manchester City at home in the last round, we can still put the blame on the Champions League semi-finals, thinking that Manchester United was disturbed by fighting on two fronts, while Manchester City was only focused on the league.

This time, losing to the Gunners again showed Manchester United's predicament.

Especially Tevez.

It is very puzzling that the Argentine beast, who was in excellent form before, has been excluded from the roster repeatedly.

After losing this game, the Gunners overtook Manchester United with 81 points and climbed to second place in the standings.

After one season, Wenger's team finally showed the effect of their increased signings.

Whether in the frontcourt or midfield, the Gunners put in very good performances.

Even Gourcuff, under Wenger's coaching, put in a brilliant performance in the second half of the season, forming a dual core with Fabregas, which was remarkable.

Bayswater Chinese conceded a goal in the 15th minute in their away game against Newcastle.

Still the same old problem.

The attack was too forward, and Nolan sent a ball from behind in the midfield. The Black Lightning Martins successfully made an offside at an extremely fast speed and scored with a single shot.

But in the 41st minute of the first half, Dzeko scored in the small penalty area and broke through Newcastle's goal, successfully equalizing the score.

After the second half, in the 60th minute, Newcastle center back Bassong fouled Dzeko and was sent off with a direct red card.

Bayswater Chinese also got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and Kompany scored with a header.

2 is better than 1!

Bayswater Chinese reversed Newcastle away from home.

Also in this round, Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 away.

Liverpool beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 away.

Chelsea beat Blackburn 2-0 at home.

After 37 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese continued to lead.

Arsenal reversed Manchester United with 81 points and became the second in the Premier League.

The Gunners also made a comeback against Ferguson's Manchester United with this victory.

This also creates another very incredible situation.

That is, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City all got 80 points.

Chelsea also got 77 points with this victory.

That is to say, by the last round of the league, not only the fourth place in the league had not been decided, but all the rankings from the second to the sixth had not been decided.

Not only that, in the relegation battle, in the last round, it was still Sunderland, Hull City and Newcastle who were fighting for relegation.

In this unprecedentedly brutal Premier League season, both the top teams and those fighting for relegation are facing extremely fierce competition. All teams must invest more in order to retain their Premier League qualification or stay at the top.

Therefore, everyone turned their attention to the final 38th round of the Premier League!
……

Wembley Stadium, London.

In the 38th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese played against Everton at home.

Since winning the championship ahead of schedule, Yang Cheng and the coaching staff have begun to shift their focus to the two finals of the FA Cup and the Champions League.

Among them, the FA Cup is scheduled for the next weekend after the end of the league.

The Champions League final is on the Wednesday after the FA Cup final.

Therefore, there are only three days between the two finals.

This is exactly the same as last season, the only difference is facing a different team.

Yang Cheng and the coaching staff also learned from the lessons of last season and improved the team's preparation plan.

For the Chinese in Bayswater, the home game against Everton is part of the team's preparations.

In this game, Yang Cheng used a lineup of half main players and half young players.

Everton has not had any desire so far this season. They have been focusing on defending tightly in away games, and have even been a little too passive.

But before the end of the first half, Hazard dribbled through on the left and sent a cross.

Dzeko followed up in the middle, received the ball, dribbled past the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the goal.

1 is better than 0!

After the second half, there was no change in the two sides.

The Chinese in Bayswater are still making steady progress.

It was not until the 78th minute of the second half that Dzeko received a pass from Hazard in the middle, turned around to get rid of the defender, and shot with his left foot, once again penetrating Everton's goal.

2 is better than 0!

Bayswater Chinese finally defeated Everton thanks to Dzeko's two goals.

……

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Wembley Stadium burst into warm applause.

Although this game was not a strong dialogue, there was a league championship award ceremony after the game, so it still attracted 9 fans to the scene, filling Wembley Stadium.

When the whistle sounded, the Bayswater Chinese players rushed into the field frantically.

Each of these young players seemed extremely excited and excited.

Many of them had experienced the team’s championship two years ago.

But at that time, many people were not the main force.

For them this season, this is their first Premier League title as the main force!
Yang Cheng seemed even calmer.

For him, the moment of true celebration had passed.

In fact, this season's Premier League title was already in his pocket as early as February.

Yang Cheng first hugged the assistant team, coaching staff and employees one by one, then went to the visiting team's coaching bench and shook hands with Moyes.

Although in Yang Cheng's previous life, Moyes' coaching career plummeted and never recovered because he took over from Ferguson and coached Manchester United, this head coach is really capable.

From a coaching perspective, Ferguson really didn't misjudge Moyes.

Unfortunately, when coaching Manchester United at that time, coaching a top team like Manchester United, coaching ability was not the most important thing.

In fact, to put it bluntly, coaching ability is the least important!

"Congratulations, Yang!" Moyes congratulated from the bottom of his heart.

Everton has no conflict with the Chinese in Bayswater, so naturally he will not have any opinion on Yang Cheng.

Moreover, in many ways, Moyes is still in line with the times.

For example, his use of Arteta.

Among the British head coaches, there are really not many who can make good use of the core of the organization.

Moyes is one, and so is Redknapp of Tottenham Hotspur.

Because of this, Yang Cheng chatted with Moyes for a few more minutes.

When Yang Cheng returned to the home team's coaching booth, the Bayswater Chinese players who had been waiting for a long time suddenly pounced on him like wolves and tigers, lifted him up and threw him high into the air.

This has become a routine for every championship.

After the players finished celebrating, Xia Qing, Adam Crozier, Omar Berrada and other executives walked down from the stands and came to the home team coaching bench to congratulate Yang Cheng and the players.

In the past season, Bayswater Chinese not only achieved outstanding results on the court, but also performed very well in business operations.

The average attendance per game reached 8 people.

This season, Bayswater Chinese have played a total of 25 home games in the Premier League and the Champions League. If the average ticket price is calculated at 45 pounds, Bayswater Chinese's ticket revenue alone has reached an astonishing 9500 million pounds.

This is just the revenue from ticket sales.

So far this season, all 166 boxes at Wembley Stadium have been sold out.

This was not only the first time in the history of Bayswater Chinese that the VIP boxes were sold out, but also the first time at Wembley Stadium.

Yes, you read that right.

Even the England national team couldn't sell out all 166 boxes.

But the Bayswater Chinese did it!
Although detailed data has not yet been obtained, these 166 private rooms can at least bring more than 2000 million pounds in revenue to Bayswater Chinese.

This means that even without including income from retail and merchandise sales, Bayswater Chinese's match day revenue will exceed £1.2 million.

Whether measured in euros or pounds, this is a record high for the Chinese in Bayswater.

Thanks to the significant increase in home match days, according to current estimates, Bayswater Chinese's total revenue this season is certain to exceed 2.5 million pounds, approaching or even catching up with Manchester United's revenue.

But whether they can surpass Manchester United is hard to say at the moment.

However, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga are far ahead in terms of revenue.

One of the important reasons why Bayswater Chinese have narrowed the gap and even caught up with Manchester United is the significant increase in match-day revenue brought by Wembley Stadium.

In this area, Manchester United is limited by the hardware of Old Trafford and can never catch up with the Chinese in Bayswater.

Apart from anything else, the stadium capacity is 1 people less, and the ticket prices in London have always been the highest in the UK.

Plus the income from 166 private rooms.

Manchester United's match-day revenue has now fallen behind the Bayswater Chinese.

This is also a huge advantage brought by the big stadium.

According to Adam Crozier's assessment, there is still considerable potential to be tapped in Bayswater Chinese's match-day income.

If the number of fans can be maintained at 9, which means every game is sold out, the match day revenue can be taken to a higher level.

There is also great potential for retail revenue.

Because this season Bayswater Chinese's average retail revenue per game is only 80 pounds, which is lower than the level of several top teams.

This is mainly due to some hardware limitations at Wembley Stadium.

To give the simplest example, during the 15-minute halftime break, the number of fans that a commercial space can serve is limited.

If the service capabilities cannot be further improved, the revenue will reach its ceiling during the peak consumption period during the halftime break.

Therefore, even though Manchester United has a capacity of only 7 people and its boxes are far smaller than those at Wembley Stadium, its match-day revenue still reaches 4 million pounds.

With strict control of the salary structure, revenue has reached a new high. Based on Yang Cheng's understanding of Xia Qing, at least 1 million pounds can be invested in the construction of a new stadium this season.

But it's also quite miserable.

Although construction has only started for a year, the Chinese in Bayswater have already invested nearly 2 million pounds.

This money was accumulated by Yang Cheng through his frugal life and selling his children over the past few years.

Even if another 1 million pounds is invested this season, it will not be enough to fill the money-eating beast that is the new stadium.

Fortunately, with the spread of the subprime mortgage crisis and the emergence of the European debt crisis, especially the depreciation of the pound and the continuous interest rate cuts by the Bank of England, various policies have been introduced one after another.

Adam Crozier is actively communicating with the British government and the London City Council to ask them for policies.

As soon as the policy is available, we start negotiating a loan with the bank.

For Yang Cheng, the larger the loan amount, the better, since the interest rate is so low anyway.

Besides, if they take out more loans, the financial pressure on the Chinese in Bayswater will be much less.

But Xia Qing also revealed that the bank would certainly not blindly offer too high an amount. She initially estimated that the maximum amount they would give was 4 million pounds, and the rest would have to be figured out by the Chinese in Bayswater themselves.

This is not surprising when you think about it.

With Arsenal's financial situation, the most they could borrow was over 2 million pounds.

Even if Yang Cheng sold everything he had and mortgaged all his assets, he would be lucky to be able to borrow 4 million pounds.

Of course, this is a low-interest loan that can be obtained from a bank.

Take it out and spend it first.

If there is really a problem with the funding for the construction of the new stadium, we can ask the British government and the London City Government for help. If that doesn't work, there are many other ways to raise funds, but the cost of funds will be relatively high.

The Chinese in Bayswater today will never find themselves in the same predicament as they were in 2003.

……

"How was the conversation?"

Yang Cheng asked with concern after seeing Xia Qing and others coming down.

They have an important task today, which is to entertain guests from Italy.

A business delegation led by Francesco Trapani, CEO of the Bulgari Group.

A group of more than a dozen people came to London specifically to inspect the new stadium project of the Chinese in Bayswater.

This is also Adam Crozier's masterpiece!
At the beginning, when he heard the news that Bulgari was going to open a hotel in London, he acted decisively and used many connections to get in touch with the Bulgari Group.

After long-term contact, we finally made some substantial progress.

"Now they have no doubts about the strength of us Chinese in Bayswater. As for the site selection, we need to go back and discuss it and do further investigation." Adam Crozier said with a smile.

This progress is relatively smooth.

This is a big project.

There are only two Bulgari hotels in the world, and the location of the third one is also attracting much attention.

Bulgari Group must be extremely cautious with such a large investment.

"Has our Mayor of London come?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

Yang Cheng doesn't care about anything now. He just uses the name of the Olympics to try his best to get benefits.

No money?

Then endorse us!
So, during this contact with the Bulgari Group, Adam Crozier even invited the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone.

"I left after the game, made a lot of promises, offered a lot of attractive policies, and obviously did my best."

Yang Cheng also understood.

People in their line of work also have their own set of rules.

"It's good to be here. Let's keep in touch." Yang Cheng still affirmed the efforts of Adam Crozier and his team.

If he could really bring in the Bulgari Hotel, Yang Cheng would be really rich.

Not to mention anything else, his new stadium has become more valuable!

"By the way, Adam, my father will also lead a team to London for inspection in a few days. You have to prepare for the reception."

Yang Cheng and Xia Qing knew about this matter a long time ago.

Xia Qing also made a lot of preparations in advance.

The inspection team led by Yang Jianguo this time included, in addition to people from Yang’s Real Estate, the head of the country’s largest high-end department store and the head of Hong Kong’s global chain of high-end hotels.

In addition, there are senior executives from several leading domestic cross-border tourism companies.

This made Yang Cheng admire the ability of his cheap father.

He said he was planning to open a department store and a hotel in London, and he is actually preparing for it.

Don’t you know how to do it yourself?

He has the means to find those collaborators.

When they heard that Bulgari Group was also coming to inspect, they became even more anxious and enthusiastic.

As we all know, the Bulgari store is located downstairs of the Bulgari Hotel, which is undoubtedly the traffic driver among the top luxury goods companies.

If we could open a store next to the Bulgari Hotel, even the advertising costs would be much lower.

Although it is his own company, Yang Cheng's attitude is very clear.

Be close to your father and son, and settle accounts clearly.

All cooperation is treated equally, and the money that should be paid should not be reduced by a single cent.

……

While Yang Cheng was talking to Xia Qing and others, English Football Association Chairman David Triesman, accompanied by CEO Ian Watmore and others, walked towards them.

At Xia Qing's reminder, Yang Cheng noticed them and immediately came over.

David Triesman succeeded Geoff Thompson as Chairman of the Football Association in December 07.

Prior to this, he had been working in the British government and had served as Secretary General of the Labour Party.

Prior to taking over the FA, he served as UK Secretary of State for Education and Skills.

Geoff Thompson left to become UEFA vice-president.

But there is a saying that goes, when people leave, the tea gets cold.

As soon as Geoff Thompson left, former CEO Brian Barwick also stepped down. He was forced out by David Triesman for a very ridiculous reason.

Brian Barwick did a good job in management and business, but David Triesman felt that Brian Barwick did a terrible job in politics.

Or it should be said that he lacks political awareness.

To put it more bluntly, you are on the wrong side!
How to reflect it?
After forcing Brian Barwick to leave, in February 09, David Triesman brought his deputy at the UK Department for Education and Skills, Secretary General Ian Watmore, into the English Football Association as CEO.

The reason is also very strong, that is, Ian Watmore has 24 years of IT work experience.

David Triesman believes that Ian Watmore's experience in the IT industry will be a strong boost to innovation at the FA.

But at the beginning of his tenure, the British media revealed that Ian Watmore's background was more complicated than Barwick's, and his political stance might not be consistent with David Triesman's.

But for now, the relationship between the two is still very good.

Yang Cheng has always been polite to political masters like David Triesman, but he was able to deal with them with ease and in a comprehensive manner, without causing any dissatisfaction on the other side.

It is also necessary to maintain a harmonious relationship with the English Football Association.

Fortunately, the time they spent together was not long.

Soon, the podium was ready.

As the protagonist of today, Yang Cheng took the opportunity to apologize and took the players with him.
