Chapter 690: Workers' Stadium, Transformed into the Home Stadium of the Celestial Beings
Saturday, 5pm.

As soon as the MPVs lined up to arrive at the Workers' Stadium, Xiangyang felt the enthusiasm of the Beijing fans.

"The green field is calling your name, the green figure is our star

Towards the future~oh~towards the world
Let’s fight for the honor we desire.”

At the entrance of Workers' Stadium, fans gathered together and sang loudly, purely and loudly to welcome the arrival of a person.

That’s Xiangyang!
"Liu Qianqian~I love you!"

"Wife, I love you~"

"Liu Qianqian~~~"

Xiangyang, who was sitting in the car, had not had time to show off for a few seconds before he heard a lot of noise.

Some male fans were almost sticking to the body of the MPV, madly expressing their love to Liu Qianqian in the car.

"Damn it, just for this, I won't invest a penny in this team."

Xiangyang's face was full of black lines.

Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed secretly~
"I didn't expect to meet my fans here again, haha." Looking at Xiangyang saying this, there was a hint of pride in her expression.

"So what? These people are just making trouble." Xiang Yang said disdainfully, turning his head to look at Little John who was watching the excitement outside through the car window and asked:
"What do you say? This ball market is pretty good, right?"

"Not bad, not bad." Little John gave a thumbs up.

It was his first time to watch a game at Workers' Stadium, and he felt everything was new and new.

As soon as he took a closer look at the team jerseys worn by the fans outside the car, he couldn't help but want to complain.

They are all Nike's general version.

If these fans could wear the uniforms specially designed by CFT.
"Come on, forget it. Don't you see there are a lot of stalls selling team uniforms on the roadside? I tell you, the most they cost is 5 euros each."

Seeing his expression, Xiangyang wanted to laugh.

This money is not easy to earn.

"It's so cheap." Little John looked at his friend in surprise. 5 euros is only 50 yuan when converted into RMB.

Even if 1 pieces are sold, it would only be...
No wonder I heard from others that the top football clubs in China are all losing money to gain publicity.

The club basically has zero income in this regard.

"Xiang, what about the college team you want to sponsor?" Little John asked puzzledly.

"It's different. We are trying to boost sales of other products by gaining popularity, rather than just focusing on the fans."

Xiangyang shook his head helplessly.

If you say that the Chinese Super League can develop, he can also have some expectations in this regard.

But it's just the layman in the car in front.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. By the way, don't express your opinions casually later. At most, just talk about the French Ligue 1, understand?" Xiang Yang reminded.

"Don't worry about this."

Little John agreed with a smile.

"Should we wear this team's uniforms when we watch the game?" Liu Qianqian suddenly asked.

"If you want to wear it, wear it. As long as you are not afraid of what the Wuhan fans will say about you." Xiang Yang said jokingly with a smile:
"The relationship between your hometown team and Shangjing is not very good."

"I took a look, and it seems that the team in your hometown doesn't have a very good relationship with any domestic team." Liu Qianqian retorted with a tilted nose.

She is not blind to football and she didn't make any preparations at all.

"Haha, at least my league results are better than yours."

"No one in the capital will be weak."

"."

While the two were arguing, with the assistance of the arranged personnel, the car drove smoothly into the Gongti Stadium.

The top management of the Shangjing Club had already been waiting eagerly at the dedicated entrance for club staff and players.

There were also quite a few fans gathered here.

The leaders of education, sports and business were the first to get off the bus.

Then came some staff from the Football Association and Director Wei. Xiang Yang and his group, who were visiting as guests, were the last to get off the car.

Reporters from BTV and CCTV5 also prepared their cameras to record in advance.

"Xiangyang! Liu Qianqian!"

"Tianxian~ look over here!"

"So beautiful~ Liu Xixi!"

"Kiss me! Kiss me!"

"Sister-in-law, I love you~~~~~"

In contrast to the movements of other leaders after getting off the car, Xiang Yang, who had no intention of showing affection, just raised his arm to give Liu Qianqian a hand as soon as he got off the car, and the surrounding fans immediately became agitated.

Liu Qianqian, who specially picked out a grey sportswear, had a smile on her face and waved to the fans.

"Love you~"

A crisp response immediately excited the fans.

In particular, the male fan who had the courage to shout this sentence in front of Xiangyang thought he was dreaming.

Really give face ~
Several department heads and the top executives of the Shangjing Club were also stunned.

This star's voice is really extraordinary.

It turns out that he has such a strong appeal among the fan community.

"I shouldn't have brought you here." Xiangyang said in a low voice.

Taking Xiangyang's arm, Liu Qianqian curled her lips and whispered, "Are you jealous?"

"No."

Xiangyang also grabbed her wrist and tried to move it away from his arm.

What's the point of holding arms?

Shouldn't our hearts be connected to each other?

So what if he's a senior executive? What's the big deal if I hold my wife's hand?

"Hate it, everyone is watching us." Liu Qianqian reminded him quietly, "You still need to shake hands later."

"."

Hearing this, Xiangyang had no choice but to give up.

Acting as if no one is around and behaving in a very intimate manner.

This level of whispering made the fans nearby scream with unbearable excitement.

They are indeed the "dog food couple"!
"Welcome everyone." Gao Chao, the general manager, saw them all getting out of the car and walking over, and quickly led everyone away from the noisy entrance.

The fans at the scene were so enthusiastic that from his position he could even see quite a few people running towards him out of the corner of his eye.

This was completely different from what they had rehearsed before.

Having been the general manager for so many years, he knows what kind of people the fans who support his club are like.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that more and more young people are coming to watch the game.

But these people are also very picky.

Easily, not so.

"Thank you." Xiangyang shook hands with the general manager with a smile, and then nodded to the other staff members.

As I walked into the hall at the entrance, my ears suddenly became much quieter.

Director Wei, who was standing in front of him and Liu Qianqian, turned around and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Xiang is so popular among the football fans."

Liu Qianqian smiled slightly.

Having experienced big occasions before, she responded calmly: "No, no, maybe the fans are used to seeing Director Wei. It's rare to see celebrities come to watch football on weekdays."

These words made Director Wei smile even more.

The leader is next to us.

When Liu Qianqian said this, wasn't she praising him in disguise for frequently coming to the club to watch games and conduct research on the front line?
"I believe that once Mr. Xiang starts to invest, the fans will like you more," he said with a smile.

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Instead, he looked up at Xiangyang.

His eyes were full of joy.

"Mr. Xiang, do you usually follow the football team in your hometown?"

"I watched the match against AC Milan when I was a kid." Xiang Yang told the truth. The football market was very hot during the Chinese Super League period.

The Shangjing team often plays friendly matches with world-class giants.

Of course, let’s talk about the competition that everyone in Beijing knows about.

Then we have to mention Shanghai Shenhua. "Haha, it has been many years since I have seen such a game that is talked about by fans all over the country." Director Wei smiled heartily.

In fact, the score is secondary.

The key is the two Chinese Super League giants, Shanghai and Shanghai, plus Luneng and Shide.

Whenever the two teams met in those years, the ball market was extremely hot.

And now
"Perhaps next year, the landscape of the Chinese Super League will change a lot." Even in front of the senior management of the Shangjing Club, Xiang Yang spoke frankly.

No matter how serious the disadvantages of money-driven football are.

But Evergrande has indeed changed Chinese football. Whether it is good or bad depends on the angle from which you look at the issue.

But what you can't deny is the professional level of the Chinese League.

The disadvantages caused by the influx of capital became particularly obvious in the few years after the emergence of money-driven football.

The reason is also very simple.

Whether it is Evergrande or Suning, they are just "tools" to the main bodies of these companies.

It's not even a tool to make money.

So being sacrificed is a normal thing.

Small teams are already struggling to operate due to limited resources.

In this environment, the team’s living space has been squeezed and they cannot even retain the young players trained by their own echelons, let alone maintain a certain level of competitiveness.

Thus, this also indirectly affects youth training.

Why are there fewer and fewer young people studying abroad, especially in Europe?

If you can make money with your eyes closed in China, why would you risk your career by going overseas?
The salary level of Chinese players who are a little famous is really not low.

But ball skills.

Can they really be compared with their predecessors who have played in European leagues?
"It seems that Mr. Xiang is very optimistic about Evergrande's investment." Director Wei naturally knew which team Xiang Yang was talking about.

Anyway, it’s not Beijing Guoan.

“I’m not optimistic, but it’s inevitable.” Xiangyang smiled slightly. Didn’t the film industry change a lot in the following years with more and more capital pouring in?

The principle is actually similar.

"We will also increase our investment in Shangjing next year."

On the side, I listened to the two people talking about Evergrande, a club that has made bold statements in the China League One this year and has made frequent big moves to attract attention.

Gao Chao, the general manager of the club, was unhappy.

No one can compare with the Shangjing Club in terms of wealth.

We have CITIC behind us!

Xiangyang laughed at this.

Can it be the same?

You spend money to write a report, but others take the bank's money and spend it at will, and finally owe 2 trillion yuan in debt.

But when talking about football, little John, who had remained quiet, brightened up his eyes.

I was interested at first sight.

What is “money football”? It’s all left over from our games.

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even Liu Qianqian turned her head to listen to his opinion.

"Well, actually it wasn't us in France who started it."

Little John, who attracted everyone's attention, grinned awkwardly and said:
"In the 80s, we in Europe spent a lot of money to buy South American stars, which was when Maradona first arrived in Europe."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the timeline was pulled back to more than 30 years ago.

While Maradona was thriving in Europe, there was a Chinese player named Gu Guangming who played for Darmstadt in the German second division.

Players like Shao Jiayi and Yang Chen who are playing in the German league are his juniors.

He stayed there for 7 years.

But what Little John said was indeed true.

Before the 80s, there were many first-class clubs in Europe and South America, which were basically on equal levels.

This can be seen from the Toyota Cup.

There is a reason why the Premier League giants suffered a crushing 0:3 defeat to Flamengo.

At that time, football superstar Belizico was playing for this Brazilian giant and did not bother to play in Europe.

The story of Maradona is even more specific.

Barcelona directly spent 900 million US dollars, but in order to keep the future king of football, Argentina could only raise 100 million.

In the following 30 years, European football has relied on its own training and buying model to gather all the top players in the world.

The once-powerful South American football scene has now become a talent training base or a retirement home.

so.
In the words of John Jr., money-driven football itself is not wrong.

Instead, you cannot just suck blood from your own league, you must also recruit all the outstanding athletes trained in surrounding leagues to your team, so that you can achieve a balance.

To put it bluntly, it means relaxing the foreign aid policy and allowing league teams to suck blood from everywhere to maintain their competitiveness. While creating a competitive environment, it will force players in the domestic league to improve their level.

otherwise
Don’t even think about having a place in the future environment.

After hearing this, Xiangyang chuckled.

How dare you, a diehard PSG fan, say that? Every year they finish 16th in the European Championships and can celebrate with champagne when they reach the quarterfinals.

Watching others win the Champions League all my life.

“I didn’t expect that such an interesting thing happened back then.”

On the contrary, Director Wei found this argument very interesting, "Mr. Jean, do you know a lot about football?"

"I have a lot of friends in football." Little John raised the corner of his mouth and said shamelessly to Gao Chao who was staring at him:
"If your club wants to bring in European players, maybe I can introduce you to their agents."

CFT's network of relationships directly connects to many club executives.

Maybe, by dealing with some old players who are old and have high salaries, we can get a discount on the transfer fee.

Gao Chao was stunned. How should he respond to this?
I can afford it, but I can't afford to maintain it.

After a wry smile, he cast his gaze towards Xiangyang, his expectant eyes seemed to say, "How about you sponsor me a little?"

Xiang Yang pretended not to see anything and pulled Liu Qianqian towards the private room at Workers' Stadium.

What does it have to do with me if you are willing to listen to his nonsense?

But this guy's mouth can really fool people.
"Mr. Xiang, I heard that your company is planning to acquire a top European club. I wonder if there is any progress."

Several leaders walking in front who had nothing to do with football also started gossiping.

Perhaps it was because Little John's stories were so fascinating that they all showed their interest in football.

"That hasn't been confirmed yet." Xiang Yang explained, without saying anything too final. "But what is certain is that we should buy a club in the Premier League, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a big club."

"Then it seems to be Arsenal." said a leader.

He knew this club.

The head coach is Wenger, a Frenchman.

It makes sense for a French company to acquire a club that has been managed by a French coach for a long time.

Obviously, Xiangyang's words "not necessarily a wealthy family" seemed to them to be an attempt to cover up something.

"Maybe." Xiangyang nodded.

“As I recall, Mr. and Mrs. Xiang also have a close relationship with Chelsea, right?”

"what"

Liu Qianqian, who was walking along, whispered in surprise, then lowered her head, looked at the sneakers under her feet, and pouted.

These guys talk a lot when they talk about ball.

However, as they walked into the private room one by one, the fans who had entered the surrounding stands early started cheering instantly.

In the crowd, a couple hugged each other.

Then, not far away, within the sight of the private room, a young girl in a white wedding dress stepped onto a seat amid the cheers of the crowd, attracting people's attention.

Xiangyang, who hadn't sat down yet, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart when he saw this.

Prevent fire and theft, but forget to prevent fans?

"These fans, are you still going to let us watch the game?"

"Well~" Liu Qianqian, who had just come up and saw this scene, was stunned and said, "I think these fans are pretty cute~"

After she finished speaking, she paused, raised her head, looked at Xiangyang with her bright eyes and a smile, and asked:

"What do you say?"
