At this time, the training center of the University of London is relatively deserted, and the first team has been disbanded, so the various echelons may still be there, and at the same time, there are members of the coaching staff.

Football clubs are like this, the members of the coaching staff do not have holidays, they need to lead the team to play during the season, and they also need to consider the team's new season during the holidays, such as player transfers, etc., and Arsenal is no exception.

In this regard, Li Feng is quite excited, after all, he will meet Arsenal's head coach - Professor Wenger next. This is a celebrity from a past life. After the group parked the car, they walked into the training center under the leadership of the chairman of Arsenal and a group of other people.

As soon as he entered the center, Li Feng met a lot of people, including the director of the training center and the coaching team of the first team, among which there was naturally Professor Arsene Wenger.

"Hello Professor Arsene Wenger, I'm your fan, I really like the way Arsenal play, I like attacking football, beautiful football. When Li Feng saw Wenger in it, he immediately stretched out his hand to him, held his hand and smiled.

Feeling Li Feng's enthusiasm, Wenger was suddenly embarrassed, thinking, who is this young man, he is really familiar, look at the back, including the chairman of the team and other bigwigs, could it be the son of a British political bigwig, is it the prince of the British royal family, but it doesn't seem to be like ah, I have never heard of such a handsome guy in the British royal family who is obviously of mixed Eastern and Western descent.

If Li Feng knew what the professor in front of him was thinking, he didn't know how he felt.

"Arsna, this is Mr. St. John Lee, a young rich man from the United States, I have always heard of the recent Rolls-Royce acquisition that has been hotly speculated in the UK, and it is this Mr. Li who wants to buy Rolls-Royce. Perhaps seeing the professor's embarrassment, Wood immediately explained.

……

"Coach Wenger, I also have a football team, can you talk about how to improve the team's results?" Li Feng asked curiously, which immediately made everyone cry and laugh.

"If a team wants to prosper for a long time, in addition to maintaining the competitiveness of the first team, it also needs to have a complete, healthy and scientific echelon construction, which can continuously deliver healthy and fresh blood to the first team, so that the team can last.

Take Arsenal as an example, the team needs a complete and scientific training center, with a commercial development department, its own team's home stadium, etc., which are the key to a team's success and long-term success, etc.

Nowadays, how to keep a team competitive for a long time is not just a matter of the team's first team, but a team's entire system. ”

"I see, my team in Los Angeles has its own home stadium, but the construction of various echelons, complete training centers, etc., because we have just started, are still blank, so we can only take our time.

Philip, it looks like our team is really far behind. ”

"Who's to say it's not, but our major leagues are just getting started, so it's good to have a few teams in the tournament now, and we really need to be on par with healthy leagues like the Premier League in Europe. Anshutz immediately replied with Li Feng's half-truth.

……

"By the way, Mr. President, I have heard that your training centre is still rented from the University of London, and your Highbury Stadium is too old.

I've seen it before, and it's only more than 30,000 seats, which really doesn't fit the face of a wealthy family. Li Feng smiled and turned to Peter Hillwood.

Sure enough, as Li Feng's words fell, the scene was speechless for a while, especially Old Wood was even more embarrassed.

"Coach Arsene Wenger, how much do you think it will cost to build a scientifically complete training centre and a top-notch stadium?"

Li Feng heard in his previous life that Arsenal, whether it was a world-famous training center or the Emirates Stadium, was built under the advice of Arsene Wenger, and it can be said that it was Wenger who gave Arsenal a cornerstone for healthy development.

"If you want to completely build a complete training base, according to current estimates, it will not be less than hundreds of millions of pounds, but it can be carried out in stages, and the first round may only cost tens of millions of pounds, and you can build a training center in London that is enough for all echelons, and then slowly build your own training center.

As for the stadium, a top-level five-star stadium, it depends on the number of seats, for example, if Arsenal rebuilds Highbury, it is best to expand the stadium to 6-70,000 seats, such a stadium is enough for Arsenal's future construction.

However, such a stadium, according to today's construction capital, etc., should not be less than 2-300 million pounds. ”

……

Listening to Wenger's words, Li Feng felt that many people around him were inhaling, obviously, they were a little shocked, and now Arsenal has no training center, and there is only a relatively dilapidated Highbury Stadium left. However, Li Feng felt in his heart that it was really much cheaper now, as if the cost of the Emirates Stadium in the previous life was nearly 500 million pounds, but it was much higher.

Today's Premier League is not the Premier League that makes global capital crazy in later generations, and today's Arsenal's annual income barely exceeds 100 million, and if you remove various expenses, you will even lose a little every year. It's a long way to get to the point.

Obviously, Wenger has a blueprint for the development of the team in his heart, but considering that he has just come to Arsenal now, he has only proposed the training center to the team management, and what the stadium is just thinking about in his mind, this time it was put forward through Li Feng's mouth.

In other words, if Arsenal wants to complete the construction of the team, such as building a scientific training center and a new stadium, it needs to raise at least 400 million pounds, which is almost 700 million US dollars at the current exchange rate of the British pound against the US dollar, which is really a lot of money. Li Feng said with emotion.

"Chairman Wood, I don't know if you Arsenal have plans to build a new training center and a new stadium, the training center of the Premier League team, I have also heard a lot, such as Manchester United's Carrington training center or something, it is considered a holy place in the hearts of football fans around the world, as one of the strong teams in the Premier League, if Arsenal does not have it, it is really a pity. Listening to Li Feng's words, Professor Wenger suddenly looked at Peter Hillwood expectantly.

At this time, Peter Hillwood and others felt that it was a mistake to bring Li Feng, a young rich man, to visit Arsenal today, and they didn't know whether Li Feng did it intentionally or unintentionally, and they didn't know how to answer when they listened to other people's questions.

……

If you want to answer 'yes' directly, you are calculating whether your own shareholders are willing to bear the money, and if you don't answer, it seems that your own team is a child. Immediately, David Dunn and the others beside him glanced at each other, and they were speechless for a while.

"John, we already have a plan for the training center, and we are going to complete it in several stages according to the situation of the team, as for the new stadium, the current Highbury is enough for the time being, and such a large amount of money can not be completed all at once, but now Highbury is indeed a little small, and we are also thinking of a way. ”

"Chairman Wood, you may not know that Mr. Anschutz runs a sports and entertainment company, operates many stadiums and stadiums across the United States, and has a lot of experience in building new venues.

This is just me as an ordinary Arsenal fan contributing to the team. ”

"Haha... , John, you have it, building a stadium is not something that can be done on the spur of the moment, and raising such a huge amount of money is still too dangerous for a team with a market value of 1 or 200 million.

You must know that raising such funds, your team may only have to repay the loan every year, and there is no money to buy players or anything, without the support of the financial owner behind it, if there is any accident, the team may go bankrupt. ”

When Li Feng finished speaking, Anshutz became the focus of everyone, and many people stared at Anshutz with a little expectation.

However, the two have already negotiated, one sings the principle of red face and white face, Anschutz did not hesitate to start pouring cold water, which made Hillwood's group of people feel dark, think about it, it is really so.

……

"Unless..."Seeing everyone's cool hearts, Anschutz was happy, but he still pretended to hesitate.
