It was already the third round of the Premier League from Shenzhen to London, and Zhou Shi finally sat in the box at Anfield Stadium and watched the game in his home team. This time it was against Aston Villa, a traditional second-rate powerhouse in the Premier League. In the previous games, Liverpool lost one and drew one, and the performance was not good, and it did not have the effect of 200 million pounds at all. In fact, there are still many players who transfer and leave in the summer of '09, and Liverpool's real expenditure should be around £110 million. However, for the sake of publicity, most of the press releases say 200 million pounds, especially when the team's results are not good, tabloids such as the Sun ridicule Zhou Shi loudly, and the geniuses of Silicon Valley should learn to respect tradition when they arrive in the Premier League, and money is not omnipotent in the Premier League.

Lu He was not in Liverpool, after he watched the first game, he stayed in London, Zhou Shi just went to England to chat with him, there is a position of chairman of Liverpool, which makes it much easier for him to develop his career, and the shareholding structure of Fengyun Sports Company is not disclosed, everyone thinks that it was jointly established by the two of them, and some people even think that Lu He has a big head. It was Soriano who accompanied Zhou Shi to watch the game. Zhou Shi looked at the players running on the field, and it was a pity that the jersey advertisement signed a long-term contract with Carlsberg, which will expire until the next season. Guoke can only have some stadium advertisements, which is better than nothing, and as for changing the name of the stadium, Zhou Shi's current prestige is not enough to promote this matter.

"How are these players brought in this summer, and is the level okay?" Zhou Shi

Rafael expressed his satisfaction that the overall strength of the team is much stronger than last season, but now the players are not tacit enough to understand each other, so the results are inconsistent. "Soriano

"Who is our biggest opponent this season?" said Zhou Shi

'It's Chelsea, they've brought in Carlo Ancelotti and the team is stable, most of the players are in a period of disruption and are likely to be successful this year. "Soriano

Zhou Shi took a look, this season's Chelsea forwards have the prime of Drogba, Anelka, the midfielder has Frank Lampard, Ballack, the defenders have Terry, Carvalho and Ashley Cole, and the goalkeeper has Cech, all of them are some famous players, which are indeed very powerful. However, Liverpool should not be worse than them, these players selected by Zhou Shi will be very famous in the future, and their talents are very good, even if they are not experienced now, they are also teams that can win the championship.

Think about the peak Torres in the forwards, the rookie Suarez, the wingers Ozil, Bale (?), the midfield has the peak Xavi Alonso, Gerrard, Yaya Toure, Modric, the defenders have, Mascherano, Thiago Silva, Lucio, Vermaelen, Hummels, plus goalkeeper Reina, it should be considered a very strong combination, Zhou Shi also wants to create a dynasty with this plastic surgery. Nine times out of ten, these guys aren't playing at a normal level.

"How's the commercial development of the team?"

"It's okay, the team's good results in recent years, plus Simon's acquisition of the team, and the resumption of the investigation into the Hillsborough tragedy, have made Liverpool much more concerned, and the team has opened a friend network and Twitter, which has attracted a lot of fan attention. "Soriano

"Is there a need to build a new stadium now?" Zhou Shi

"Building a new stadium is a big benefit to the club if the money is not tight, and our income can increase a lot. Manchester United can earn £100 million a season, while we only have around 45 million. And the government has already approved the new stadium plan, and now we are short of funds. "Soriano

"It's not a big problem with funds, and I can sell the naming rights of the stadium and issue bonds, and I will inject half of the funds. Zhou Shi has already estimated this problem, to build a stadium that can accommodate up to 100,000 people, and only 70,000 people in the first phase, it will take at least three years, and the cost will be about 600 million pounds, even if the inflation reaches 800 million pounds, Zhou Shi will directly invest 3~400 million pounds, and the income from selling naming rights will be at least 100 million pounds, and there will be some income from the disposal of the old stadium, and the income that the new stadium can increase, etc., and the remaining debt is about 300 million, which is not so difficult to accept. What's more, now that the prices of oil, gold, and copper are soaring, Zhou Shi has a lot of profits to call again. And after a few years, Zhou Shi's assets will not surprisingly have a big explosion, and if these funds are spread over 3 years, it will be 100 million pounds per year, and this burden is not a problem.

The name of the new stadium is called Guoke Stadium, and there can also be another name: Dragon Stadium, Zhou Shi has thought of it, and there should be an image of a Chinese dragon in the main stand. On the one hand, it is to promote Chinese culture, and on the other hand, it is to show his patriotic position. Through the world's most influential sports and the promotion of Chinese culture, Zhou Shi should receive much less criticism in China.

While chatting with Soriano, the situation in the stadium became more and more obvious, listening to the analysis of the stadium commentator, Liverpool took the initiative and had already scored a goal, it seemed to be Torres. It didn't take long for Yaya Toure to run to the front and score one.

"It seems that today's luck is good, and I should have won today" Zhou Shi

"I'm afraid it's the good fortune that Simon brings. "Soriano

"Haha, then I hope Liverpool's good luck can last a whole season!" Zhou Shi

The result was 3-0 and Mesut Ozil scored a goal as Liverpool won their first game of the season at home, and Zhou Shi met these current or future stars for the first time amid the excited celebrations of the players.

"Thank you for your wonderful performance today, the Liverpool fans are great, you are even better....." Zhou Shi said a bunch of words of encouragement and praise, and then left

"By the way, can we also build a club in Huaxia, or find a cooperative club to increase our influence in Huaxia?" Zhou Shi

"Of course it's okay, it's not good for us. "Soriano

"It's a pity that the youth training in England is not very good, otherwise I want to introduce a complete youth training system to Huaxia, Huaxia has almost no excellent players, maybe the level of youth coaching in China is too poor. "Zhou Shi

"I think Spain's youth training is very good, and the Spanish national football team has been very dominant in recent years. "Soriano

"Spain's youth training, is it appropriate for us to use the name of Liverpool and use the Spanish academy?"

"How is it not suitable?" said Soriano

"Well, in the past two years, I went to Huaxia to buy a football club, and then let the two clubs cooperate, you help me pay attention to some youth talent first. "Zhou Shi

"No problem!" Soriano

Zhou Shi hated the national football team to death, in the years when he was chasing the national football team and watching the game, he had no good impression, there were fake ball black whistles everywhere, and the national football players who had no fighting spirit at all. So much so that he later stopped paying attention to any domestic competitions. But now that he has the ability to make some changes, he can't help but want to make a little contribution.
