I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 260: Amazing record! The debut of the new stadium! Yang Cheng, if you mess up, you will be fired! [Subscribe]

The Olympics, which are in full swing, have made London's summer exceptionally lively.

According to statistics from the London Police Department, at least more than 20 tourists came specifically for the Olympics.

Not to mention, London is already crowded with tourists on weekdays.

Tourists flock to every corner of central London.

Especially in the core western district.

From Notting Hill to Bayswater to Kensington and then to Knightsbridge, tourists are everywhere.

As August approaches, the entire West End of London becomes extremely lively.

Especially on Queens Road in Bayswater.

As the most important renovation project in London and even the UK in the past few years, Queen's Road was officially opened on July 7.

All the shops, hotels and department stores along the street opened at the same time.

This short 600-meter commercial street is home to the world's third Bulgari Hotel, Europe's first Peninsula Hotel, London's second, and Europe's largest Apple Store...

There are also various other shops, restaurants, cafes, entertainment clubs, high-end hotels, etc.

The transportation here is extremely convenient.

Designed by the architectural master Norman Foster, it has attracted countless tourists and Londoners.

This instantly made the entire Queen's Road the focus of attention of the whole world.

All tourists and citizens who come to Queen's Road will see that in the core area of ​​Queen's Road, the four buildings around Prudential Arena are already open for business, and the leisure square has also attracted countless pedestrians and tourists.

But the stadium is not open to the public.

Everyone can only visit this magnificent stadium, which is known as the most dreamy stadium in the world, from the outside.

Some people say that the West End of London is the crown of the entire Greater London.

The Prudential Arena is the most dazzling jewel in this crown.

After years of publicity, everyone who comes to Queen's Road and London has heard of this stadium.

Even countless fans are interested in the world's first smart stadium with full WIFI coverage, the world's first foldable turf, the world's first double-sided circular screen...

With so many world firsts, this world-famous stadium occupies a unique place in the hearts of fans all over the world.

Moreover, the owner of this golf course is the Chinese from Bayswater!

The top giants in European football that have been in the limelight in recent years!

Every day, countless tourists and fans come here to take photos and check in. They will come forward to ask when this stadium will be open to the public?
The answer we got was always August 8th.

Especially on August 8, after the International Champions Cup North America final was held at the Bristol Motor Speedway, the UK immediately began to invest in publicity and promotion.

On August 8, Prudential Arena was officially opened!

On the night of the opening ceremony, Bayswater Chinese played against the International Champions Cup North American champion, Real Madrid!
This is definitely a showdown between the giants that will be like a collision between Mars and the Earth!
When the news came out, the whole of London was in an uproar.

Countless fans rushed to buy tickets, only to find that the tickets for this game had already been sold out.

Due to the nature of this being a warm-up match, and the fact that the invited team was Real Madrid, which fielded all its main players, the average ticket price for a single game was as high as £199, but it was still sold out.

There were more than 9 tickets, and they were all sold out very early.

This made countless fans regret it.

Because when ICC started selling tickets, it only advertised that it was a match between the Bayswater Chinese and the North American champion, but no one knew who the champion team was at that time.

Therefore, many fans chose to wait.

But by the time the champion was announced, the tickets had already sold out.

£1800 million in ticket revenue!

This created the highest single-game ticket sales record in the UK and even the world!
When the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

On the one hand, people marvel at the strong attraction between the two super giants; on the other hand, they are also amazed at the strong purchasing power of British fans.

Another thing is that the value of the International Champions Cup is constantly rising.

Although this was a match specially held for the opening ceremony of Prudential Stadium, the operation of the match was handed over to ICC.

It was also announced early on that the North American champion would challenge the Bayswater Chinese.

Everyone knows that this is actually an extension of the International Champions Cup and a brand new attempt.

Facts have proved that after three years of promotion and preparation, the International Champions Cup has already possessed a considerable market influence.

The scalpers outside are speculating on the tickets like crazy.

However, since tickets are mostly electronic in form besides paper tickets, it is not easy for scalpers to hype the tickets.

But precisely because of this, scalpers have driven up the ticket prices even higher.

Since August, the London Police Department has been calling on fans to remind them not to buy tickets from irregular channels to avoid being deceived.

But this still can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

On August 8, when Yang Cheng and the Chinese from Bayswater flew back to London from China, coupled with the Olympic Games being in full swing, the whole of London was heated up by the fanatical sports atmosphere.

……

"This is the schedule for the opening ceremony of the new stadium tomorrow."

At her home on the west side of Holland Park, Xia Qing handed the documents she brought back from the office to Yang Cheng.

When both sets of parents moved in, along with Xia Xi's family of three, Yang Cheng and Xia Qing's world of two was completely broken.

The house was so busy and bustling that the two of them didn't have much time to be alone.

That is to say, we can use the convenience of work to talk about things now.

Yang Cheng glanced at the schedule. The activities started at around 10 o'clock in the morning and lasted until the game in the evening.

Throughout August 8th, many activities were prepared around Prudential Arena.

The celebratory atmosphere will continue until the game that night.

But throughout the West End of London, especially in Bayswater, the city government has arranged various activities that will not only continue until the end of the Olympics, but also until the Notting Hill Carnival.

That is the last weekend of August every year.

So, London's West End will be very lively throughout August.

"From the opening of Queen's Road to now, both the flow of people and consumption have been ideal, and the situation will only get better and better." Xia Qing was obviously very satisfied with the development of the situation.

This is before the Prudential Stadium is officially opened.

Once the new stadium opened, there was a major event every few days.

So far this season, all season tickets for Bayswater Chinese have been sold out, and even individual tickets are hard to come by, and everyone has to queue up.

Just imagine, every game can attract 9 fans.

This area will definitely become the most valuable and most promising new business district in central London.

And, it’s different from Notting Hill.

Although Notting Hill's commercial street attracts many tourists and has a decent flow of people, their spending power is not strong.

This is mainly related to the business model.

Before the renovation of Queen's Road, sufficient research was conducted.

The main focus is on new consumption formats that are different from Knightsbridge, which is still able to attract tourists and fans.

With nearly 10 people coming every few days, plus the tourists on weekdays, it would be hard for Queen's Road not to be popular unless it goes against the flow.

"In recent days, Adam and Omar have been focusing on the VIP boxes and fan services, and they are very busy."

Yang Cheng found this a bit strange. "Don't we always invite people from Bulgari Hotel to come to our VIP box for training?"

"Yes, but a new business will inevitably encounter various problems."

With 250 private rooms, a sky bar on the top floor, and various other supporting commercial facilities, it is impossible to provide perfect service and satisfy everyone.

The only thing Bayswater Chinese can do is to strive for perfection as much as possible.

But the most important thing now is the VIP box.

This is the most nutritious piece of fat!

It is also the fat meat that all other teams are salivating over.

According to the information obtained by Yang Cheng, after the opening of Prudential Arena, it has become a great attraction for high-end customers of Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and Chelsea's Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Including some corporate users.

According to the procedure, the opening ceremony will be held at noon, and people from the Ministry of Sports, the mayor, the Football Association and the Premier League will be present.

Yang Cheng will also be present to participate in the event.

After the ceremony, various performances and activities will be held in the leisure plaza surrounding the Prudential Center.

Including inviting some famous British bands to perform live.

But the highlight is on the evening of August 8th.

Not only did the match attract worldwide attention, it was also broadcast live around the world on Sky Sports.

Before the game, several singers including Adele were invited to perform on site.

To this end, the club also spent a lot of money to invite the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of the United Kingdom to perform on site, which can be said to be a huge investment.

"What we are most worried about now is the game on August 8. We must not mess it up."

When Xia Qing said this, she looked up at Yang Cheng and couldn't help laughing.

"When Real Madrid celebrated their centenary, Bosque messed up and was fired afterwards."

"Adam, Omar, and others, I've discussed this. If you mess up this time, you'll be fired!"

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "As the boss, I have a veto power. Can you let me fire myself?"

Of course Xia Qing wouldn't do that.

Let me ask, looking at the current European football scene, is there any head coach better than Yang Cheng?
"Actually, I have been thinking about this question as well." Xia Qing suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Yang Cheng seriously.

The two have been together for so many years, how could Yang Cheng not know what she is thinking?
"This model still has some hidden dangers. As the head coach of the team, your authority is too high, and it is difficult for others to effectively check and balance you."

"What's more, we are now a big family with a lot of business. In addition to Bayswater Chinese and Nice, you are planning to acquire another club. OneFootball has been doing so well in recent years, and we also have family businesses in China..."

After a pause, Xia Qing sighed softly, "Uncle and aunt have told me many times that they are getting older."

As the only son in the family, whether Yang Cheng is willing or not, the huge family business will definitely be inherited by him.

Now, Yang Group’s real estate company is considered one of the top ten real estate developers in China. It ranks first in the domestic sports brand market share and its sales are second only to foreign brands Nike and Adidas.

There is also an investment company. Under the instruction of Yang Cheng, Yang's Investment Company has invested in many projects in the past few years, including well-known domestic companies such as Penguin, BYD, Jingdong, Dami, and Meituan.

Just in July, when Yang Cheng led the team to the capital, he also attended the signing ceremony of Yang Group's investment in startup company ByteDance.

It can be said that after the rapid development in the past few years, the Yang Group is now flourishing in many aspects, with two listed companies under its umbrella and an astonishing wealth.

Naturally, his parents hoped that Yang Cheng could return home to inherit the family business.

Otherwise, who would be able to take over such a huge family business?

"Let's wait a few more years, at least until everything is stable!" Yang Cheng has thought about this issue.

For him, leaving the coaching position of Bayswater Chinese is a matter of time, both publicly and privately.

But before that, he has to get everything done first.

At the very least, we need to get the Bayswater Chinese and the club under its command back on the right track.

"As for the game with Real Madrid, it's really difficult to play!" Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"Mourinho has already made harsh remarks in the media. He is here to mess things up."

The men's football competition at the London Olympics will not end until August 8.

Unlike Yang Cheng's previous life, this time, because famous players such as Gareth Bale and Walcott were called up to play, the strength of the British Olympic team increased dramatically, so they performed very well in the Olympics.

Not only did they qualify as the first in the group, but they also went on to defeat the South Korean team 8-3 in the quarter-finals.

Today, the British Olympic team defeated Brazil 2-1 in the semi-final at Old Trafford in Manchester and advanced to the final to be held at Wembley Stadium on August 8.

In this Olympics, all four players of the Bayswater Chinese team played as starters and performed very well.

Therefore, the Chinese from Bayswater will still play against Real Madrid with a weakened team this time.

It's very stressful.

……

On August 8, Yang Cheng handed the team over to Brian Kidd and arrived at Bayswater early in the morning.

Around 10 o'clock, Queen's Road was already crowded with tourists.

Yang Cheng first went to the department store which was packed with people.

According to the manager of the department store, the spending power of consumers who come to London during the Olympic Games is much higher than usual.

"In the past, the average spending of tourists coming to London was around £650."

"But during the Olympics, it doubled to £1300."

More importantly, transportation around the Prudential Arena is extremely convenient, and there are countless hotels near Bayswater, making it a gathering place for tourists. This has boosted the business of the department store after its opening.

Even far exceeded their previous expectations.

It was truly an overnight success!

Yang Cheng was quite satisfied after hearing this, after all, it was his own property.

Afterwards, he visited the Apple Store accompanied by Xia Qing, Adam Crozier and others.

This store can also attract traffic to Queen's Road.

Since its opening, it has been packed with people every day.

In addition to being the second Apple store in London, it is also the largest, with the most complete product categories and the most complete services.

Because upstairs is Apple's UK headquarters.

Many consumers naturally regard this place as Apple’s headquarters.

Yang Cheng didn't need to worry about the Bulgari Hotel and the Peninsula Hotel, because he had heard a long time ago that these two hotels had no rooms available after their trial operations.

After walking around the stadium, Yang Cheng walked into the Prudential Arena.

The entire stadium's facade is designed with glass panels that can change colors freely, allowing everyone to see the symmetrical streamlined appearance from different sides.

During the day, under the projection of light, pedestrians and tourists see different colors in different positions.

In the promotional video of the new stadium, pedestrians walking on Queen's Road will see the exterior facade of the stadium slowly changing colors, which is very dynamic and dreamy!

At night, these glass panels form a huge screen that can project a variety of different gorgeous light and shadow effects.

Even in the future, it is not ruled out that it can be further upgraded and directly turned into a huge display screen.

But this is not possible yet.

Directly above the stadium is a closable roof, and surrounding the stadium is a skywalk, where tourists and sky bar patrons can overlook the dazzling night view of the entire London city area.

It can be said that just looking from the outside, the entire stadium is very magnificent and extremely technological.

Since the lower level stands of the stadium are underground, there are open stairs leading to the underground after entering the stadium.

All ticket checks for the entire stadium are completed by an intelligent system. Fans can enter directly with their tickets or scan the code using a mobile phone APP, which is very convenient.

Since match-day sales were fully taken into consideration at the beginning of its design, the commercial area of ​​the stadium is the largest among all stadiums in the world and its layout is also the most scientific.

In particular, the use of the long bar, coupled with the takeaway function of the mobile app, strives to provide the best consumer experience for all fans, while also maximizing sales on match days.

After passing through the spacious multi-story commercial space, you enter the grandstand area from the passage.

As you enter the stands, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge double-sided circular screen hanging under the ceiling of the stadium.

The most eye-catching feature of this new stadium must be this huge circular screen.

The double-sided display allows fans to clearly see the information on the screen no matter where they are sitting in the stadium.

This double-sided circular screen makes this brand new stadium look extremely sci-fi.

Due to two tragedies in the 80s, the UK has strict requirements on the slope of stadium stands.

This time, in order to provide fans with a better viewing experience, Norman Foster tried his best to leave space for every seat while complying with British regulations.

At the same time, the stands are more spacious, which is very friendly for fans to enter and exit.

The newly designed seats combine comfort and design.

All the seats are made of two colors: red and sand-colored gold coins of Bayswater Chinese.

As soon as you walk in, you will know that this is the home ground of the Bayswater Chinese!
Yang Cheng stood in front of the second-floor stands, looking at the huge stadium, the double-sided circular screen hanging on the trusses on the ceiling, and then at the grass in the middle of the stadium.

Under the turf, there is also a turf storage room.

If the court is to be used for other purposes, the turf can be broken down into three pieces, lowered through tracks into an underground storage room.

Not only does it have good ventilation conditions, but it is also equipped with an artificial sun exposure system and a spray maintenance system.

This is the first stadium in the world to use this system.

From the folding system to the maintenance system, all of them were jointly developed by the Chinese in Bayswater and many famous universities and institutions such as Loughborough University and Cambridge University, which consumed a considerable investment.

Yang Cheng had come to inspect the goods once before.

Even if the turf is stored in a storage room for a long time, maintenance personnel can carry out daily maintenance without affecting its use in competitions.

This has greatly increased the utilization rate of Prudential Stadium.

The stadium has not yet been opened, but several European and American venue management companies have already expressed their interest in Prudential Arena, hoping to obtain the agency rights for Prudential Arena and develop commercial activities in other fields besides football, such as sports events, performances, conferences, exhibitions, etc.

A large stadium like the Prudential Stadium, located in the heart of London, undoubtedly has amazing potential value.

The Chinese in Bayswater are also actively connecting with them, hoping to further develop the business potential in this area.

This is also the reason why Yang Cheng spent so much effort, increased investment, and was determined to develop foldable turf.

The turf cannot be folded down and no activities can be held for at least three days before a football match.

Considering the multi-front schedule of Bayswater Chinese, just imagine how much time can be squeezed out to hold other commercial activities when the league stage comes?

This is also the reason why it is difficult to develop large-scale commercial activities at the home stadiums of all European teams.

Except for the summer when the league is suspended, it is not allowed at other times.

But with the foldable turf, it is no problem to hold games in the evening and commercial activities in the afternoon.

In this way, the commercial value of the stadium is greatly enhanced.

"I heard from Chris Hunter that American companies are the most powerful among venue management companies right now. It is said that the agency fees they offer are not cheap, but the time required is a bit longer." Xia Qing stood beside Yang Cheng and said with a smile.

She also has a lot of affection for the stadium.

Because she witnessed every step of its development from nothing to something.

"It's normal that it takes a little longer. After all, they have to invest a lot of resources in marketing and supporting facilities in the early stage. After signing the agency contract, in addition to a large agency fee, we can also get a share every year."

Xia Qing nodded, "I asked someone to calculate it before, and I plan to get 8%!"

Yang Cheng turned to look at Xia Qing with some surprise, "Can we come to an agreement?"

"The location and value of our stadium are there. Where else in the heart of London can you find a venue of this scale?"

Being unique is the most valuable thing in itself!

Yang Cheng vaguely remembered that in his previous life, the profit-sharing agreement signed by Real Madrid was 7:3.

It is obvious that the Bayswater Chinese are worth more than Real Madrid.

It's not just because the Prudential Stadium is located in the heart of London, which is in a better location than the Bernabeu. More importantly, London's global status and influence are simply unmatched by Madrid.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for the Chinese in Bayswater to have higher demands.

By the way, Chris Hunter’s current infrastructure ministry is becoming more and more popular.

After all, he now manages the Prudential Arena and four buildings, as well as the Brent Training Center and 10 satellite training centers.

All in all, that's more than ten billion pounds worth of fixed assets.

Most of Yang Cheng's fortune is under his management.

……

When night falls, Queen's Road is brightly lit.

The glass panels on the exterior facade of Prudential Arena lit up one after another, projecting an exceptionally gorgeous and dynamic light and shadow effect.

All passers-by and tourists can't help but stop to admire and marvel.

Starting from the afternoon, groups of fans entered the newly opened new stadium.

In fact, many fans bought sightseeing tickets to enter the stadium after it opened and have not left yet.

All commercial facilities within the stadium are also in operation.

This means that eating and drinking in the stadium is not a problem for all fans.

Moreover, on the first day of opening, there will be big sales.

When the Bayswater Chinese and Real Madrid players arrived at the stadium, everyone on both teams was impressed by the magnificent new stadium.

Even though they are knowledgeable and have seen countless new and old stadiums, they have even seen this stadium in pictures and videos.

But when they saw it with their own eyes, they were still shocked by its grandeur and dreaminess.

Even when Mourinho led the team into the stadium for training, he couldn't help but admire Yang Cheng when he saw him.

"Although you guys are not very good at playing soccer, the stadium is really beautiful!"

Yang Cheng laughed, "It's really not easy to get your praise in person!"

When the players entered the field for training, they were a little nervous at first.

Because they know that under their feet is the world's first foldable turf that can be moved and disassembled.

This made them feel a little strange.

Of course, this is mainly due to psychological factors.

When everyone stepped on and jumped on the grass here and there, they found that it seemed no different from other grass, and gradually they felt relieved.

"To be honest, you have worked so hard for this stadium for so many years, I don't have the heart to disrupt your good things." Mourinho seemed satisfied with the current situation of his Real Madrid.

But Yang Cheng heard that there were some conflicts between him and Casillas.

The news mainly came from the media, that Mourinho was not satisfied with Casillas' height.

But for now, everything is under control.

"If you want to disrupt the situation, you must have the ability to do so!" Yang Cheng seemed particularly confident.

The Olympic Games call-up left the Bayswater Chinese team with an incomplete lineup.

Gareth Bale and Walcott both missed the game.

Aaron Ramsey and Kyle Walker are also absent.

After selling Di Maria, the Chinese at Bayswater are under a lot of pressure.

What’s more, it was the first game in the new stadium.

……

When the players of both teams finished their training and returned to the locker room from the player tunnel, the guests in the chairman's stand also took their seats.

In addition to London Mayor Ken Livingstone, officials from the FA, Premier League, UEFA and FIFA, the game also attracted owners and senior executives from various London clubs.

There are also the owners or senior executives of several top European teams.

Also as a London team, and a West London team at that, Yang Cheng personally called Abramovich to invite him.

Because he felt that it would be inappropriate for the Russians not to be present at such an occasion.

Fortunately, Abramovich really came.

The look on his face when he stepped onto the court was just amazing.

Real Madrid participated in the game, and President Florentino appeared in the stands with Jose Sanchez, Zidane and others.

Everyone had already visited it during the day.

But when I came back at night, it was a completely different kind of dazzling feeling.

Especially when they walked into the stadium, the new stadium looked even more dreamy under the bright lights.

This made Florentino extremely envious.

“When will we have a stadium as fantastic as this one?”

Jose Sanchez and Zidane also looked in agreement.

"Look at the boxes across the street. There are 250 of them around the stadium. The cheapest one costs 10 pounds every season. The Chinese in Bayswater are making a killing!"

Jose Sanchez said, pointing to the box in the opposite stands.

"There is also a lot of people at the sky bar up there. I just went to their sales area to take a look. There were too many people there, and the various commercial facilities were also very complete."

“This is what our dream stadium looks like!”

Florentino nodded heavily.

He also secretly vowed in his heart that he must seize the time, make more money, and quickly put the project of rebuilding or renovating the Bernabeu Stadium on the agenda.

But even for a team as financially strong as Real Madrid, it is not easy to achieve this.

At this moment, the host came over the stadium's radio calling on fans to take their seats, announcing that the opening ceremony of the new stadium was about to begin.

The originally bustling stadium gradually became quiet.

When all the lights in the venue dimmed, and only the light from the box and the circular screen remained, the scene became quiet.

Then all the lights were projected onto the center of the court.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra appeared on the field.

They all took their positions and the conductor began to wave his baton.

Rhythmic drum beats slowly rang out at the scene.

The symphony orchestra's performance also slowly began.

At this moment, Adele, dressed in a black evening dress, walked out slowly and walked to the center of the court.

When "Roling in the Deep", a song that has long been sung all over the world, flowed from the infectious throat of this British queen, it immediately captured the emotions of everyone in the audience.

More than 9 people in the stadium all sang along with her.

The chorus of 9 people, coupled with the performance of the live symphony orchestra, was magnificent and deeply moved everyone present.

Even many guests in the stands who had never heard this song were deeply immersed in it at this moment.

After singing the song, Adele excitedly expressed her feelings for the Chinese in Bayswater in the middle of the stadium.

She even said emotionally that if there were no Bayswater Chinese, she would not be who she is today.

Adele also excitedly expressed her hope to hold a concert at Prudential Arena in 2012.

She just held 2011 concerts around the world from March to September 3.

But this time, she is willing to open a special one for Prudential Field!
This immediately caused cheers and screams from countless fans in the stands.

Then she sang "Set fire to the rain", which once again made the 9 people in the audience sing along with her.

Many fans couldn't even contain their excitement. They stood up from their seats and waved their hands along with her singing, and the atmosphere in the stadium was constantly being pushed up.

After singing two songs in a row, the atmosphere on the scene had become extremely heated.

But Adele sang the third song again, "Someone like you".

This once again caused everyone in the audience to sing along.

Especially when the song was finished, several singers or actors who were well-known in the UK and even the world walked out of the scene at the same time. They were all partners who had collaborated with Bayswater Chinese in the past.

They are also users of the boxes at Bayswater Chinese Stadium.

At this moment, they all chose to walk out and stand in the middle of the stadium to sing the fourth, final and most important song with Adele.

The team song of Bayswater Chinese, [Dream it possible]!
The atmosphere had already been created by the first three songs. When the prelude of the team song sounded, everyone in the stadium stood up from their seats and sang along with the singers in the stadium.

They almost wanted to open their throats and sing at the top of their lungs.

The atmosphere in the entire stadium was pushed to its peak!

And amid the chorus of more than 9 people, the players of Bayswater Chinese walked out of the stadium one after another.

Not only all the players who participated in the game, but also four players who are still playing for the British Olympic team.

They specially asked for leave from the National Olympic Team and came to attend the opening ceremony of the Chinese in Bayswater.

And like their teammates around them, they were all wearing the team's new jerseys.

The only regret is that they cannot play for Bayswater Chinese tonight.

Because their battlefield will be at Wembley Stadium in 3 days!

The players were obviously infected by the atmosphere of the chorus. Everyone held their heads high and had a look of pride on their faces!
When the live broadcast's close-up footage swept over them, many players showed moved expressions on their faces.

When the singers finished singing, the atmosphere had become very heated.

When the name of each first-team player is announced on the live broadcast, it is accompanied by thunderous cheers and applause.

The atmosphere at Prudential Arena is obviously much better than that at Wembley Stadium!

The Real Madrid players entered the field led by Weber.

As guests, their appearance was warmly welcomed by the Chinese fans in Bayswater.

Especially when the names of Di Maria, Dzeko and Maicon were called out on the radio, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

They have all played for Bayswater Chinese and brought fond memories to the team and the fans.

They are all part of the club's history!

……

Real Madrid actually takes this game very seriously.

As Mourinho said, they are here to cause trouble and seek revenge.

Real Madrid deployed the 4231 formation that they had been working on for a long time.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defense: Coentrao, Ramos, Varane and Arbeloa;
Midfield: Khedira and Xabi Alonso form a double defensive midfielder, with Ronaldo, Mesut and Di Maria in front;
Forward: Dzeko.

This is undoubtedly the strongest lineup Real Madrid can put together.

It is also a star-studded lineup.

The Bayswater Chinese side was affected by the Olympics and all four players were unable to play.

But Yang Cheng still arranged the 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Piszczek;

Midfield: Javi Martinez drops back, with Toni Kroos and Modric in the middle;

Forwards: Hazard, Lewandowski and De Bruyne.

As soon as the game started, Real Madrid took the lead in launching an attack.

Mourinho's team first took control of the ball by kicking off, then launched an attack by advancing through the midfield, trying to suppress the Bayswater Chinese.

Yang Cheng saw it clearly on the sidelines that Mourinho still hoped to assess the team's performance through this game.

He hopes to use the Bayswater Chinese to test Real Madrid's ability to withstand pressure.

In other words, can we launch a counterattack against the Chinese in Bayswater?

As it was the first appearance in the new stadium, the Bayswater Chinese players were obviously still a little restrained.

This allowed Real Madrid to control the ball easily and create pressure after the opening.

In the first 9 minutes, Real Madrid basically dominated the Chinese players from Bayswater.

But Yang Cheng's team's defensive capabilities are not weak.

Moreover, Yang Cheng arranged Piszczek to keep a close eye on Ronaldo in this game.

Although Real Madrid also had several shooting opportunities, they were basically long shots.

From the 12th minute, the Chinese in Bayswater gradually turned the situation around and began to suppress Real Madrid.

First, Toni Kroos made a long shot from 28 meters away from the goal, then Marcelo made a cross from the left, and Lewandowski headed the ball, which was slightly higher.

Yang Cheng was observing Real Madrid's game on the sidelines. He could clearly feel that after Di Maria returned to his old club, he became more active and created threats continuously.

But in the 27th minute, Hazard and Marcelo made a wonderful combination on the left.

The Belgian winger broke into the left side of the penalty area, attracted the attention of the defense with the ball, and suddenly passed the ball back to the left side of the penalty area front.

Toni Kroos quickly came back and calmly shot from long range, which went past Casillas' goal.

1 is better than 0!

At this moment, all the fans in the Prudential Arena stood up excitedly and cheered at the top of their lungs.

This is the first goal in this stadium!
……

After conceding the goal, Real Madrid was obviously a little anxious.

But Real Madrid's offense had no good way to deal with the Chinese defense in Bayswater.

Although Kompany was sold, the overall defensive level of the Chinese in Bayswater is still there and is maintained quite well.

Therefore, Real Madrid could only threaten the goal of the Chinese in Bayswater through long-range shots.

In the 35th minute, Ramos's straight pass from the backcourt was intercepted by Javi Martinez.

After successfully intercepting the ball, the Spanish midfielder adjusted himself and immediately sent a straight pass.

The ball was passed accurately to Lewandowski's feet between the two central defenders.

The Polish center forward took advantage of the situation and successfully made an offside move without slowing down. After dribbling into the penalty area, he faced Casillas alone and calmly shot the ball into the goal, scoring another goal for the Chinese in Bayswater.

2 is better than 0!

After taking a 2-goal lead, the Chinese players at Bayswater were clearly playing a little too happily.

Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid intercepted the ball in their own half, and Xabi Alonso made a precise over-the-top pass behind him.

C Ronaldo quickly shook off the defender, got a one-on-one chance, broke into the penalty area, faced the attacking Courtois, and calmly shot the ball, pulling a goal back for Real Madrid.

1 is better than 2!

By this point, the game was completely open.

It was also a warm-up match, so both sides gradually relaxed their play.

After the second half, in the 49th minute, De Bruyne made a wall pass with Piszczek on the right.

The Polish full-back went around the outside and went down the flank, but instead of passing the ball to Lewandowski, he made a reverse triangle pass back.

On the right side of the center penalty spot, Modric came in from the back row and calmly shot the ball into Real Madrid's goal.

3 is better than 1!

But in the 55th minute, Dzeko retreated and sent a straight pass. Di Maria broke into the right side of the penalty area and had a one-on-one opportunity. He calmly shot into the far corner.

2 is better than 3!

In the 61st minute of the second half, the Chinese in Bayswater quickly retaliated.

De Bruyne made a diagonal pass from the right, and Lewandowski in the middle seized the opportunity and shot in front of the goal.

As a result, Casillas saved the ball and it fell into the unguarded left side of the penalty area.

Marcelo quickly inserted himself and, with no one guarding him, volleyed the ball with his left foot and sent the ball into Real Madrid's goal again.

4 is better than 2!

But just two minutes later, Di Maria broke through on the right and made a cross, and Dzeko headed the ball into the goal, narrowing the gap for Real Madrid again.

3 is better than 4!

At this point in the game, both sides performed exceptionally hard, hoping to use the other side to examine their own players.

But after 65 minutes, the score was 4-3 and the two sides were obviously similar in strength.

Don’t forget, there are 4 Chinese players from Bayswater playing in the Olympics!

Especially since Gareth Bale and Walcott were both absent.

In this situation, Mourinho had no other choice but to start making substitutions from the 65th minute.

Since it is a warm-up match, there is no limit on the number of substitutions.

After Yang Cheng saw the situation, he decided to quit and started to make adjustments by replacing players.

Pogba, Harry Kane, Giroud, Sterling, Luke Shaw, Jose Fonte, Harry Maguire and Stones all came on as substitutes.

Among them, Stones replaced Javi Martinez.

Matic is injured and cannot participate in this game.

After that, the game went smoothly.

Mourinho's attempt to disrupt the situation was clearly unsuccessful.

In the 86th minute, Sterling broke through on the right and tried to pass the ball into the penalty area to find Giroud.

As a result, Varane headed the ball away and it went out of the penalty area.

After Stones received the ball on the outside, he immediately passed the ball high to the left side of the penalty area.

Pogba quickly moved forward and competed with Aveiroa on the left side of the penalty area, heading the ball towards the middle.

Harry Kane, who had just been pinned behind by Bruno Alves, seized the opportunity this time. He turned sideways and lightly took the ball off with his right foot. He turned around, chased after the opponent and shot with his left foot.

This close shot came so suddenly that Casillas didn't even have time to react.

The ball went into Real Madrid's goal again.

5 is better than 3!

Harry Kane stormed off the pitch in excitement.

He was greeted by the cheers of 9 fans in the entire stadium!
In the final moments of the game, Real Madrid actually had a very good attacking opportunity.

Facing his old club, Di Maria obviously wanted to prove his strength to Real Madrid, so he was particularly excited. After taking the ball on the right and passing two players, he passed it diagonally to the back point.

But Ronaldo's close-range header was a bit high in angle.

Courtois dived sideways and brilliantly saved the ball from going out of the goal.

In the end, the game ended at 5 to 3!

Yang Cheng and Bayswater Chinese finally secured the opening ceremony and first game at the Prudential Arena!

And this wonderful goal battle finally came to an end amid the cheers of more than 9 fans in the stadium!
