Chapter 170 Win the Premier League Championship again! Barcelona, do you still remember that 4-0 match against Monaco? 【Please subscribe】
"Yeah!!!"
When the final whistle sounded, in Stourbridge, a small town in the western suburbs of Birmingham, a little boy with Ronaldo's iconic tile hair of 2002 was cheering excitedly.
At this moment, like countless children around the world, he was cheering for the Bayswater Chinese who won.
Next to the little boy, there was a child about 4 years old, 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 tile-headed boy turned his head excitedly and hugged the white father beside him, looking particularly excited.
"They really won!"
“Enter the Champions League finals for two consecutive years!”
“Awesome!”
The father also enjoyed watching it, but he was not as excited as the tile-headed child. Instead, he looked at his wife speechlessly.
The black wife also shook her head helplessly, "It's all my fault that you always take him to play football with you, but now it's fine. You're so focused on playing football and watching football games that you completely forgot about your homework."
"It's okay. His skills are very good. I believe he can become a professional player in the future!"
"Being a professional player?" My mother laughed softly, "How can it be so easy?"
After a pause, she looked at her husband again, "You have been playing football for more than ten years and have been struggling in the amateur league. You have scored so many goals and you can't play professional football. How can he do it?"
< br>
"It's better to concentrate on studying well, go to college in the future, find a better job, and it won't be in vain to pay such a high tuition every year."
The little boy with Tile Head attends a convent private school in Edgbaston, a suburb south of Birmingham. The annual tuition fee is 20,000 to 30,000 pounds, which is also a huge burden for their family.
Therefore, as a police officer’s husband, he would play amateur football matches every weekend.
In the past few years, the white father has also made a name for himself in the amateur arena and is famous for scoring goals. Therefore, many amateur clubs will invite him to "assist", euphemistically calling it a transfer.
In fact, there is an appearance fee.
The white father relies on his salary and appearance fees earned from playing football to support his family.
The black mother is a company employee and works in human resources.
Their family is a bit strange. The husband is only 33 years old, but the wife is already 39 years old.
And the wife basically has the final say in everything big and small at home.
Now, as soon as the wife spoke, the husband said nothing more.
On the contrary, the Tile-Tou kid became anxious upon hearing this.
"Mom, the teachers in our school all said that I am the best student she has ever seen in playing football."
As he spoke, the tile-headed child hugged his mother's arm affectionately, "Mom, I think I can become a professional player, please let me try."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and pointed at the TV, which was showing footage of Bayswater Chinese players celebrating.
"I'll go to the Bayswater Chinese. You just heard it. They are now the best and strongest football team in the UK!"
"How is it possible? Stop thinking nonsense!"
The black mother calmed her son's emotions. She felt that this was just a whim of the child.
"Do you know how many people the Bayswater Chinese Youth Training Camp recruits every year? But how many people sign up?"
The tile-headed child was naturally confused.
But he vaguely guessed what his mother meant.
It’s hard to get into this club’s youth academy!
"When I was playing football at Remington, there were indeed teammates who took their children to participate in the Bayswater Chinese youth training selection." My husband said casually from the sidelines.
"That's right, that's right, mom, dad's teammates do this too, shall we try it too?"
The black mother shook her head, "How is this possible? Isn't there a limit to the scope of youth training selection?"
"Indeed, but some situations are quite special. For example, we are under 6 years old and have not registered with other youth training clubs. If we are really selected, there will be many ways to avoid it."
< br>
"Even if it doesn't work out, we can move our family nearby."
"Are you kidding me?"
Upon hearing what my father said, my mother suddenly became a little anxious, "It's nearly 200 kilometers from here to London. How can you come back to work after moving your family there?"
The husband chuckled and said, "It's not bad, just a bit far. But look, if you go from Remington to London, it's only about 100 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 2008.
"Denise, I really think you can give it a try." Her husband said earnestly.
My wife is not the kind of domineering or extremely unreasonable person, so she became a little silent.
"I heard from my teammates at Remington that the Bayswater Chinese are the best youth training team in the Premier League and even Europe. Their youth training is also equipped with dormitories, and the software and hardware standards are world-class."
"In addition, they attach great importance to cultural courses. They cooperate with good schools in the western suburbs of London, and their club also hires excellent teachers with high salaries to specifically guide children's homework and improve cultural courses."
"So, their KeyStage2 SAT test, English and mathematics level 5 compliance rate is 100%, and many children can even reach level 6."
"So high?" His wife Denise was surprised.
Is this still a football club?
The private school they are currently attending does not have a 100% pass rate for Level 5 in the SAT exam.
The most is level 4.
Even though the difference is only 1 level, if a child wants to apply for some good private or public schools, the minimum requirement for the SAT test is level 5 or above.
"This is where the youth training profession is. If the cultural courses are not up to standard, football training is stopped. This is also the responsibility and consideration of our parents. Even if the child has no development potential in football, he can still continue to study after leaving the youth training camp. No delay.”
When her husband said this, his wife Denise was really tempted.
The reason why she spent so much money to send her children to private schools was because she wanted them to study well.
If, as my husband said, it is true, then the Chinese youth training camp in Bayswater is much better than the private school they attended.
The key is, it’s free!
You can save twenty to thirty thousand pounds in tuition fees a year.
"But, Mark, do you think we have a chance to get in?"
Husband Mark nodded heavily, "We can give it a try. If we are frustrated this year, we can try again next year. We are only 6 years old. We can try for at least another 3 years."
After a pause, he continued: "This kid has inherited your blood and is very talented in sports. Even though he is as skinny as a monkey, he is actually very fast and very flexible. He has practiced with me over the years and kicked the ball." The ball is also very talented.”
"In the next period of time, I will focus on making a surprise attack and give him special training. I believe there is still a good chance."
Denise is a very decisive woman. When she heard her husband say this, she immediately nodded and said: "Okay, let's go try it. If we choose, we'll talk about how to do it. If we don't choose, it's all just talk."
Having said this, Denise pulled the boy with the tile head over again and looked at him seriously.
"Zude, are you sure you want to go to London to play football?"
The little boy was obviously frightened by his mother's tone. He thought his mother disagreed, so he wanted to deny it.
But when he saw his father constantly giving him encouraging looks next to him, he immediately plucked up the courage.
"Yes, I want to play for the best club in England!"
"Very good, then you have to train hard next. Mom will help you register. When the time comes, your parents will take you to participate in the selection!"
The little boy with the tile head suddenly became excited again. He jumped up for joy and wanted to rush out of the house and go to the yard outside to practice football.
Both Mark and Denise were left speechless.
What time is it!
……
Overnight, media all over the world were rushing to report that the Bayswater Chinese had entered the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons.
Having already won the league championship in advance, they have successively entered the FA Cup and Champions League finals.
This amazed media and fans around the world.
Is it hard to say that the Triple Crown is really coming?
The Times commented after the game that the Bayswater Chinese defeated Manchester United 3-1 and advanced to the Champions League final, which was convincing.
"Whether it was the 1-1 win at Old Trafford in the first leg or the 2-0 win at Wembley Stadium in the second leg, the Bayswater Chinese showed extremely outstanding dominance!"
< br>
The Times believes that Yang Cheng has clearly learned lessons this season after experiencing the "failure" of last season.
The biggest change is in the Premier League.
With the maturity of Dzeko and the rise of players such as Gareth Bale, Di Maria and Theo Walcott, the Bayswater Chinese are extremely efficient in grabbing points in the Premier League this season.
Not only did they perform well against strong teams, but they also basically grabbed the points they deserved when facing mid-to-lower teams. This allowed the Bayswater Chinese to establish an early lead in the Premier League. .
It was precisely because of their significant lead in the Premier League that the Bayswater Chinese played more confidently in the second half.
"In the third-line battle, the Bayswater Chinese are almost unaffected, and can even temporarily sacrifice the league if necessary!"
The Times also believes that the Bayswater Chinese's outstanding performance this season also comes from the growth and improvement of the substitute lineup.
Players born in the 1990s such as Aaron Ramsey and Hazard have performed well this season.
"Substitute center Lewandowski has scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season, ranking third in the Premier League standings. This is a very significant improvement over last season."
"What about the British twin duo of Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott?"
"They both scored 12 goals in the Premier League, which also exceeded last season."
"And Di Maria, who was criticized in the first half of the season, has also scored 8 Premier League goals so far."
"It can be said that the outstanding performance of the Bayswater Chinese is the result of the overall outbreak 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.
No other player in the Premier League has scored more than 20 goals so far.
Including Ronaldo.
Dzeko has scored 26 goals and is 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, etc. are currently ranked second. After Dzeko.
The Bosnian center has become one of the top killers with his outstanding performance for two consecutive seasons.
More importantly, he is the center with the most assists among all scorers and the most comprehensive technical characteristics.
Many media even believe that Dzeko is the most comprehensive super center in world football at the moment!
Especially after defeating 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 faced Manchester United's tight defense, Dzeko's pull effectively drove the defense of Manchester United players."
"The first goal, Yaya Toure's long-range shot, came from Dzeko's forward penetration, which led to the retreat of defensive players such as Ferdinand and Vidic."
"Not to mention the second goal. Dzeko's widening and ball play directly created space for Walcott and Maicon."
In this case, Dzeko became the veritable number one superstar in the Bayswater Chinese team.
Moreover, he is 1 year younger than Ronaldo.
"If Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is worth 100 million euros, then how much is the Bayswater Chinese's Dzeko worth?"
……
The day after the Bayswater Chinese beat Manchester United 3-1 on aggregate, Barcelona defeated Arsenal 5-2 on aggregate.
Arsene Wenger's Gunners drew 2-2 at home with Barcelona in the first leg.
After returning to Camp Nou, Guardiola's team defeated Arsenal 3-1.
It is worth mentioning that Barcelona is also unrivaled in La Liga this season and has also reached the Copa del Rey final.
In other words, Barcelona is also competing for the Triple Crown this season.
Once 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 Triple Crown.
This also made the Catalan media and fans extremely excited.
Some Barcelona mouthpieces have even begun to shout out that Guardiola's Barcelona is the third dream team.
As the last obstacle blocking Barcelona's path to the Triple Crown, the Bayswater Chinese have naturally been strongly belittled by the Catalan media and fans.
Europe's three major bookmakers have issued odds.
William Hill's odds for Bayswater Chinese are 2 and odds for Barcelona are 1.73.
Must win has narrowed the gap, 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 team strength, they are actually between the two.
But in the words of the Catalan media, it immediately became: Barcelona became the favorite, and the Bayswater Chinese were unanimously looked down upon.
What he said was correct, but he was clearly setting the pace!
The British media immediately counterattacked, believing that the Bayswater Chinese would successfully defend their title in Rome.
"This will be the first Champions League champion to successfully defend the Champions League since its restructuring!"
The Daily Telegraph even listed many pieces of evidence in one breath that the Bayswater Chinese defeated Barcelona.
This includes the previous encounter between the two sides in the European arena. Yang Cheng and his Bayswater Chinese had an advantage in performance, which is enough to strengthen the Premier League team's self-confidence.
"Barcelona, have you forgotten the 4-0 match in Monaco?"
As the Premier League head coach, Wenger was very disappointed with the result of the game after losing to Camp Nou.
Wenger spoke highly of Guardiola's Barcelona and was convinced of his defeat.
But on the other hand, Wenger believes that it is difficult to say who will be better in the Champions League final between Barcelona and Bayswater Chinese.
"If the Bayswater Chinese want to win in the final, they must think about how to freeze Messi!"
Wenger believes that Arsenal's failure at Camp Nou was due to their failure to successfully defend 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 Bayswater Chinese's defense will be even better, so in this Champions League final, Wenger is optimistic about the Bayswater Chinese.
"Yang Cheng is only two championships away from true greatness: the FA Cup and the Champions League this season!"
Wenger's remarks are somewhat based on the hope that Yang Cheng will avenge him.
Judging from public opinion around the world, both the media and fans are still optimistic about Barcelona.
As the defending champion, the Bayswater Chinese are not favored.
On the one hand, it is because of the curse of defending the title, and on the other hand, because the Bayswater Chinese are still slightly behind Barcelona in terms of fan base and brand influence.
This also led to Barcelona immediately becoming the number one favorite to win the Champions League final.
……
After playing in the Champions League semi-finals, he returned to the Premier League and ushered in the 36th round of the Premier League.
The Bayswater Chinese are at home against Aston Villa.
In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Dzeko, who missed several scoring opportunities and failed to score, was very active in this game.
Only 6 minutes into the game, Dzeko got the ball in the penalty area, fouled Aston Villa defender Luke Young, and got a penalty kick.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina center made it in one fell swoop and scored the penalty he created.
The first half ended with 1-0.
Aston Villa's tight defense sustained them for the rest of the first half.
However, only one minute into the second half, Luke Young was interfered by Di Maria and made a passing error. After Dzeko intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, he took a long shot from the front of the penalty area and once again penetrated Aston Villa's goal. goal.
2 to 0!
And in the 59th minute, the 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, resulting in a huge melee.
In the melee, Dzeko had a flash of inspiration and used his heel to hit the ball into Aston Villa's goal like a dragon swinging its tail, 3-0!
hat trick!
The Bosnian center was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and was cheered by more than 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
In the end, the Bayswater Chinese defeated Aston Villa 3-0 with Dzeko's hat-trick.
In the same round, Liverpool defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-0 in an away game, relying on Gerrard's brace.
But it was the Manchester derby at Old Trafford that really attracted attention.
Manchester United, which had just defeated the Bayswater Chinese in the Champions League semi-finals, returned to home and showed an aggressive momentum from the beginning, launching a wave of attacks.
But in the 6th minute, Robinho dribbled the ball from the left and after completing a beautiful cooperation with Kaka, Kaka shook Carrick away from the left side of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot, piercing Manchester United's goal. goal.
After that, Manchester United launched continuous offensives.
But in the 29th minute, Manchester City once again relied on Kaka to break through with the ball in the middle and send a wonderful pass from the front of the penalty area. Robinho passed the teenager Rafael and hit the goal to expand the score.
In the remaining game time, no matter how Manchester United attacked, they were never able to break through Manchester City's goal.
Until the 88th minute of the second half, Ronaldo scored Manchester City's goal with a direct free kick from around 25 meters.
2 to 1!
Manchester City defeated Manchester United away from home with Kaka's pass and shot.
This can be regarded as a minor upset!
Ferguson was furious after the game.
Losing the local derby was a huge blow to Manchester United.
Especially in the standings.
After 36 rounds of competition, the Bayswater Chinese have already won the championship ahead of schedule.
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 2 rounds left in the Premier League, the battle for the top four in the Premier League continues.
One thing that is very detrimental to 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 has also attracted strong attention from fans around the world.
……
Old Trafford, Manchester.
In the 37th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Arsenal at home.
When the game progressed to the 13th minute, Arsenal's midfielder passed the ball continuously, and Gourcuff and Fabregas created opportunities through continuous passes.
The Spanish midfielder moved the ball to the right. Arshavin got rid of Evra, dribbled the ball diagonally into the Manchester United penalty area, forced a breakthrough to the bottom line, and passed the ball to the goal.
Robin van Persie came from behind, got ahead of Ferdinand, and sent the ball into the Manchester United goal.
At this moment, Wenger, who was sitting on the sidelines in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, jumped up with excitement and cheered vigorously, as if he wanted to show off his teeth and claws wantonly in front of Ferguson. Manchester United quickly counterattacked.
Unfortunately, 5 minutes later, Carrick's diagonal pass, and Rooney's header went slightly wide of the goal.
After that, no matter how the two teams launched their offensive, they were always just a little bit closer.
Ronaldo took 3 direct free kicks, which were either blocked by the wall or missed the goal.
Until the end of the game, neither side could score again.
In the end, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 1-0 away with Robin van Persie's goal.
Ferguson's team lost two consecutive home games!
This is indeed quite outrageous!
If we say that they lost to Manchester City at home in the last round, we can still blame it on the Champions League semi-finals. It is believed that Manchester United was interfered by two-front operations, while Manchester City only focused on the league.
So in this round, losing to the Gunners again made people see Manchester United's plight.
Especially Tevez.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The Argentinian beast, who was in excellent form before, has been excluded from the big list for a row, which is very puzzling.
After losing this game, the Gunners counterattacked Manchester United with 81 points and climbed to second place in the standings.
After a season, Wenger's team finally allowed people to see the effect of their strengthened recruitment.
Whether in the frontcourt or midfield, the Gunners performed very well.
Even Gourcuff, under the guidance of Wenger, performed brilliantly in the second half of the season, forming a remarkable duo with Cesc Fabregas.
Bayswater Chinese conceded a goal in the 15th minute in an away game against Newcastle.
Still the same old problem.
Attacking too far forward, Nolan sent a ball from behind in midfield. Black Lightning Martins successfully countered offside with great speed and scored with a single shot.
But in the 41st minute of the first half, Dzeko grabbed a point in the penalty area, broke through Newcastle's goal, and successfully equalized the score.
After changing sides in the second half, in the 60th minute, Newcastle defender Basson fouled Dzeko and was sent off with a direct red card.
The Bayswater Chinese also got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and Kompany scored with a header.
2 to 1!
The Bayswater Chinese reversed Newcastle's away game.
Also in this round, Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 away from home.
Liverpool defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 away from home.
Chelsea defeated Blackburn 2-0 at home.
After 37 rounds, the Bayswater Chinese continued to lead.
Arsenal reversed Manchester United with 81 points and became second in the Premier League.
The Gunners also relied on this victory to counterattack Ferguson's Manchester United.
This also creates another very unbelievable situation.
That is Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City all scored 80 points.
Chelsea also relied on this victory to score 77 points.
In other words, in the final round of the league, not only was the fourth place in the league undecided, but all rankings from 2nd to 6th were also undecided.
Not only that, in the relegation battle, in the final round, Sunderland, Hull City and Newcastle were still fighting for relegation.
In this unprecedented and brutal Premier League season, whether it is the top spot or relegation, they are facing an extremely fierce competitive environment. All teams must invest more in order to maintain their Premier League qualifications or stabilize their status. At the forefront.
As a result, everyone has set their sights on the final 38th round of the Premier League!
……
Wembley Stadium, London.
In the 38th round of the Premier League, the Bayswater Chinese faced Everton at home.
Since winning the championship in advance, 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 league ends.
The Champions League final is the Wednesday after the FA Cup final.
Therefore, there is only 3 days between the two finals.
This is exactly the same as last season, the difference is just facing a different team.
Yang Cheng and the coaching staff also learned from the lessons learned last season and improved the team's preparation plan.
For the Bayswater Chinese, playing Everton at home is part of the team's preparations.
In this game, Yang Cheng used a lineup of half the main players and half young players.
Everton has not had much desire so far this season. They have just been defensive and defensive in away games, and they have even been a little too passive.
But before the end of the first half, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and sent a cross.
Dzeko, who followed up in the middle, took the ball and passed the attacking goalkeeper and sent the ball into the goal.
1 to 0!
After changing sides in the second half, there was still no change between the two sides.
The Bayswater Chinese are still playing steadily.
Until the 78th minute of the second half, Dzeko received a pass from Hazard with his back in the middle, turned around and got rid of the defender, and volleyed with his left foot, piercing Everton's goal again.
2 to 0!
Bayswater Chinese finally defeated Everton with Dzeko's brace.
……
When the final whistle sounded, the entire Wembley Stadium burst into warm applause.
Although this game is not a strong dialogue, because there was a league championship award ceremony after today's game, 90,000 fans were still attracted to the scene, filling Wembley Stadium to a full capacity.
When the whistle sounded, the Bayswater Chinese players rushed onto the court crazily.
Each of these young players seemed extremely excited and excited.
Many of them have experienced the team's championship victory 2 years ago.
But at that time, many people were not the main players.
For them this season, this is the first Premier League championship they have won as the main force!
Yang Cheng looked very calm.
For him, the moment of true celebration had passed.
In fact, this season's Premier League championship was already in his possession 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 due to taking over Ferguson and coaching Manchester United, and has never recovered since then, this head coach is really capable.
From a purely coaching perspective, Ferguson really did not misjudge Moyes.
It is a pity that when coaching Manchester United at the time and coaching a wealthy team like Manchester United, coaching ability was not the most important thing.
Even, 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 Bayswater Chinese, and he naturally has no objection to Yang Cheng.
Moreover, in many ways, Moyes is still very much up to date with the trends of the times.
For example, his use of Arteta.
Among British head coaches, there are really not many who can understand how to use the playmaker.
Moyes counts as one, and Tottenham Hotspur's Redknapp counts as one.
Because of this, Yang Cheng and Moyes chatted a little more.
When Yang Cheng returned to the home team's coaching bench, the Bayswater Chinese players who had been waiting for a long time suddenly pounced on him like wolves, lifted him up, and threw him high into the air.
This has become a routine for every championship.
When the players' celebration ended, Xia Qing, Adam Crozier, Omar Berada and other executives walked down from the stands and came to the home team's 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.
The average attendance per game reached 85,000.
In the Premier League and Champions League this season, the Bayswater Chinese played a total of 25 home games. If the average ticket price is 45 pounds, the Bayswater Chinese's ticket revenue alone reached an astonishing 95 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 is not only the first time in the history of Bayswater Chinese that the VIP box has been sold out, it is also the first time at Wembley Stadium.
Yes, you read that right.
Not even the England national team could 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 20 million pounds in revenue to the Bayswater Chinese.
This means that even if income from retail sales and merchandise sales is not included, Bayswater Chinese's match-day income will exceed 120 million pounds.
Whether measured in euros or pounds, it has created a record high for Chinese people in Bayswater.
Thanks to the substantial increase in home match days, according to current assessments, Bayswater Chinese's total revenue this season will definitely exceed 250 million pounds, close to or even catching up with Manchester United's revenue.
But whether it can surpass Manchester United is still hard to say.
However, La Liga's Real Madrid and Barcelona are far ahead in terms of revenue.
The reason why the Bayswater Chinese have narrowed the gap and even caught up with Manchester United is that the significant increase in match day income brought by Wembley Stadium.
In this area, Manchester United is limited by the hardware at Old Trafford and cannot catch up with the Bayswater Chinese.
Not to mention anything else, the stadium capacity is 16,000 less, and London’s ticket prices have always been the highest in the UK.
Plus the revenue from 166 private rooms.
United's matchday revenue now lags behind that of Bayswater Chinese.
This is also a huge advantage brought by the stadium.
According to Adam Crozier's assessment, the Bayswater Chinese's matchday income actually still has considerable potential that can be tapped.
If the number of fans can be maintained at 90,000, that is, if the stadium is full, the game day revenue can reach a higher level.
There's also plenty of potential for retail revenue.
Because the Bayswater Chinese's average retail revenue per game this season is only 800,000 pounds, which is lower than the level of several wealthy teams.
This is mainly limited by some hardware at Wembley Stadium.
To take the simplest example, within 15 minutes of halftime, the number of fans that a commercial space can serve is limited.
If service capabilities cannot be further improved, revenue will reach the upper limit during the peak consumption period during halftime.
Therefore, even though Manchester United has a capacity of only 74,000 people and its boxes are far inferior to Wembley Stadium, its match-day revenue still reaches 100 million pounds.
With strict control over the salary structure, revenue has reached a new high. Based on Yang Cheng's understanding of Xia Qing, he can allocate at least 100 million pounds this season to invest in the construction of a new stadium.
But it's pretty miserable.
Although construction has only started for a year, Bayswater Chinese has already invested nearly 200 million pounds.
This money was saved by Yang Cheng's frugality and selling his children and daughters in the past few years.
Another 100 million pounds invested this season will not be enough to fill the mouth of the gold-eating beast in 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.
Adam Crozier is actively communicating with the British government and the London Municipal Government, asking them for policies.
As soon as the policy is received, I immediately start negotiating with the bank for a loan.
For Yang Cheng, the larger the loan amount, the better, since the interest rate is so low anyway.
Besides, with more loans, the financial pressure on Chinese people in Bayswater will be much less.
But Xia Qing also revealed that the bank would definitely not blindly give an excessively high limit. She initially estimated that the maximum limit would be 400 million pounds, and the Bayswater Chinese would have to figure out the rest.
This is not surprising when you think about it.
With Arsenal's financial resources, the maximum loan limit is more than 200 million pounds.
Even if Yang Cheng sells everything, mortgages all his assets, and can get a loan of 400 million pounds, it will be very expensive.
Of course, this is a low-interest loan you can get from a bank.
Take it out and spend it first.
If you really encounter problems with funding for the construction of the new stadium, you can ask the British government and the London Municipal Government for help. If that doesn't work, there are still many ways to raise funds, but the cost of capital is relatively high.
The Chinese people in Bayswater today will not be in the same predicament as they were in 2003.
……
"How was the discussion?"
Yang Cheng asked with concern after seeing Xia Qing and others coming down.
They have a very 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 made a special trip to London to inspect the Bayswater Chinese's new stadium project.
This is Adam Crozier’s masterpiece too!
When he heard the news that Bulgari was coming to London to open a hotel, he acted decisively and found many connections before contacting the Bulgari Group.
After a long period of contact, we finally made substantial progress.
"They now have no doubts about the strength of our Chinese people in Bayswater. As for the site selection, they still need to go back to discuss and conduct further inspections." Adam Crozier said with a smile.
This progress has been relatively smooth.
This is a big project.
There are currently only two Bulgari hotels in the world, and the location of the third one is also attracting much attention.
Such a large investment by the Bulgari Group must be done with great caution.
"Is our Mayor of London here?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Yang Cheng doesn't care about anything now. Anyway, he is using the name of the Olympic Games to try his best to get benefits.
No money?
Then endorse us!
Therefore, in this contact with the Bulgari Group, Adam Crozier and even the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone were invited to come out.
"I left after the game. I drew a lot of pie and gave a lot of attractive policies. Obviously I tried my best."
Yang Cheng also understood.
Those who work in their profession also have their own set of rules of the game.
"It's good to come and keep in touch." Yang Cheng still affirmed the efforts of Adam Crozier and the team.
If he can really bring in the Bulgari Hotel, then Yang Cheng will really succeed.
If nothing else, my 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 must be ready to receive them."
Yang Cheng and Xia Qing have known about this for a long time.
Xia Qing also made a lot of preparations in advance.
In addition to people from Yang Real Estate, the inspection team led by Yang Jianguo this time also included the helmsman of the largest high-end department store company in the country, as well as the helmsman of a global chain of high-end luxury hotels in Hong Kong.
In addition, there are senior executives from several leading cross-border tourism companies in China.
This made Yang Cheng have to admire his cheap dad's ability.
He said he was going to open a department store and hotel in London, but he was really preparing for it.
Don’t know how to do it yourself?
He has the means to find those collaborators.
As soon as they heard that the Bulgari Group was also coming to inspect, Cheap Dad and the others became even more anxious and enthusiastic.
As we all know, downstairs of the Bulgari Hotel is the Bulgari store, which is responsible for the flow of top luxury goods.
If you can open it next door to the Bulgari Hotel, even the advertising costs will be much less.
Although it is his own company, Yang Cheng's attitude is very clear.
Father and son, let's settle accounts clearly.
All cooperation is treated equally, and no penny should be less.
……
While Yang Cheng was talking to Xia Qing and others, FA Chairman David Triesman, accompanied by CEO Ian Watmore and others, walked towards them.
After Xia Qing's reminder, Yang Cheng noticed them and immediately came to greet them.
David Triesman succeeded Geoff Thompson as Chairman of the Football Association in December 2007.
Prior to this, he had been serving in the British government and had served as Secretary-General of the Labor Party.
Before taking over the FA, he served as the UK's Education and Skills Secretary.
Geoff Thompson left to serve as UEFA vice-president.
But there is a saying that goes well, the tea is cool when you leave.
As soon as Geoff Thompson left, former CEO Brian Barwick also stepped down, and was forced out by David Triesman for a very fucking reason.
Brian Barwick did a good job in business and business, but David Triesman felt that Brian Barwick did a terrible job in politics.
Or should I say, he lacks political awareness.
To put it more bluntly, you are on the wrong team!
How to manifest it?
After forcing Brian Barwick away, in February 2009, David Triesman brought his deputy at the Department of Education and Skills, Secretary General Ian Watmore, to the Football Association as a 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 IT industry experience can effectively promote the innovation of the Football Association.
However, when he first took office, the British media broke the news that Ian Watmore's background was more complicated than Barwick's, and his political stance may not be consistent with David Triesman.
But for now, the relationship between the two is still very good.
Yang Cheng has always been indifferent to political masters like David Triesman, but he dealt with him with ease, covering all aspects, and did not make the other party feel dissatisfied at all.
It is also necessary to maintain a harmonious relationship with the Football Association.
Fortunately, we didn't get along for long.
Soon, the podium was ready.
As today's protagonist, Yang Cheng took the opportunity to apologize and led the players over.
