When the team arrived at the Emirates Stadium, it was already a sea of Gunners fans, with countless fans wearing red and white Gunners shirts pouring into the Emirates Stadium from all directions

Construction of the stadium, which began in 2003 with a capacity of up to 60,000 spectators, has been awarded the title to the stadium for 15 years for a total of more than £100 million. In the second half of 2006, the course was put into use, ending the Gunners' illustrious history at Highbury Field.

Of course, the various stories that happened before and after the construction of the 'Emirates Stadium' have always been talked about by fans, especially Professor Wenger, who sells a captain almost a year for the construction of the stadium, which is a 'joke' in the history of world football.

However, with the opening of the new stadium, not only has ticket revenue grown to more than £90 million, but other commercial revenues have also been significant, and the development of the Highbury area has also brought more revenue to the club.

In 2010, the club had already repaid the bank loan it had taken to build the stadium and became one of the most financially balanced clubs in Europe.

The security personnel of the special passage were familiar with the convoy that greeted Xiao Feng, and they were released without too many inspections, and Kroenke was waiting for Xiao Feng and his wife inside the stadium.

In fact, Xiao Feng prefers to sit in the ordinary audience and experience the popularity of the Premier League game with the fanatical fans, rather than sitting in the luxuriously decorated No. 1 box and watching the game with a group of middle-aged and elderly people with red wine.

But today is by invitation, Xiao Feng has no choice but to be a guest!

In the box, the club's current CEO, Ivan Gazidis, a 50-year-old Kroenke confidant from the United States who has been impressively successful in business since taking over in 2008, is already waiting.

Xiao Feng shook hands with Gazidis as his resume flashed through his mind.

1964 year. Born in South Africa, Gazidis went on to Oxford, lived in England for more than a decade, and at the age of 30 he qualified as a lawyer in the United States to embark on a new career journey.

In 1994, Gazidis joined the Major League of America, which was being established. In 2001, he became Vice President of the League, where he was involved in the development of key strategic and commercial decisions for the American League, served as President of the American Professional Marketing Agency, and helped promote the Mexican Football Federation and the Caribbean and CONCACAF Gold Cups, and has extensive experience in the operation of professional football clubs and leagues.

After acquiring a controlling stake in Arsenal FC, Kroenke brought Gazidis to London as the club's CEO, as part of an attempt to improve the club's deficiencies in the field of commercial development.

In the past six years, the club's situation has improved dramatically from having to sell its captain to make ends meet. In particular, the successive purchases of Mesut Ozil and Sanchez this summer are even more eye-catching.

I have to say that international elites like Gazidis are not something that the current 'Jinghu Group' can encounter, and sometimes this requires a certain amount of connections to be tapped, and money is not the most critical factor.

After all, these international elites are not bad for money!

After the greetings, everyone took their seats. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao also took the time to observe everything around them, especially the fans who were singing loudly. It makes them feel novel.

This is Xiao Feng's first visit to the scene of a top foreign football event, which is a stark contrast to the empty league stadium in China.

Haizhou 80,000 people stadium claims to have a capacity of up to 100,000 spectators, but every time the Haizhou football team plays a home game, it can pour 20,000 people. The sparse crowds, the seating away from the field, and the track and field track in the middle did not arouse enthusiasm at all.

On the other hand, the Premier League's playing venues are dedicated football pitches. Behind the billboard is the green lawn, and the front row spectators can even clearly hear the players talking, this immersive feeling, not to mention.

In addition, what impressed Xiao Feng the most was the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of viewers singing in unison. A variety of songs and ballads that are closely related to the team take turns to play, and the atmosphere in the stadium has become extremely frenetic before the game even starts.

Even if they were in the box, Xiao Feng and the others had to raise the volume to make the other party hear, and the feeling in the audience can be imagined.

In November 2013, fans of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs set a new world record when they broke the world record for outdoor stadium noise, which reached 137.5 decibels.

The noise of the jets taking off is only 130 decibels, which is enough to show the enthusiasm of the fans in the stadium!

According to relevant tests, the sound of fans in Premier League matches is generally between 120-130 decibels, and they can be called the most noisy group on the planet.

…………

A quarter of an hour after Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao arrived at the stadium, players from both sides entered one after another, which immediately detonated the enthusiasm of the fans, and even Xiao Feng and others were excited by the overwhelming cheers and shouts.

Since the acquisition of the Middle East consortium in 2008, Manchester City have launched a strong challenge to the inherent order of the Premier League, winning the FA Cup in the 2010-2011 season, breaking the 35-year title drought and announcing their own rise.

In the 2011-2012 season, Manchester City won the Premier League, which was their first time winning the top competition in England!

In this season, with six rounds left in the league, the Blue Moon has two fewer rounds, but it is tied with Chelsea at the top of the table, and the championship situation is very good!

In contrast, the Gunners, who have been unable to make a big deal because of their monetary crunch, have experienced a lackluster performance and a bit of a downcast after entering the second decade of the 21st century.

One side for the Champions League seat, the other side for the championship trophy, the two teams are destined to have a battle in the 32 rounds of the Premier League!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began, and the atmosphere on the scene became more fanatical.

Ten minutes into the game, the Gunners centrepiece Rosicky went down on the left side of the penalty area, but referee Mike Dean refused to award a penalty, drawing boos from 60,000 home fans.

It was also the first time that Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao felt so many people booing together at such a close distance. This finally understands what 'home field advantage' is!

In the 18th minute, the core of Manchester City, Spain international Silva scored a supplementary goal to silence the Emirates Stadium, and the Gunners, who have been winless for two rounds, will continue to decline?

To Xiao Feng's surprise, after a slight loss, the home fans quickly regained their fighting spirit. They have been cheering the players on with shouts and cheers, and of course, the overwhelming boos are indispensable when the opposition has the ball.

From the goal conceded to the end of the half, although the Gunners failed to equalize in half an hour, the enthusiasm of the home fans still amazed Xiao Feng!

"Stan, you have a scrappy team!" Xiao Feng gestured to Kroenke at halftime.

The red wine opened in the box is the 'Xiao's Red Wine' boutique brought by Xiao Feng. Of course, if you open a red wine when you are ahead, you will be in a better mood!

"Professor Wenger has the most credit!" Kroenke and Xiao Feng clinked glasses and said with a smile: "After the club's financial situation improves, we will continue to invest more and strive to build a stronger team!"

In Kroenke's philosophy, the profitability of the club is naturally paramount, but competitive sports are not the same as other industries. The pursuit of more honors will help to get more benefits!

Of course. Limited by financial resources, Kroenke can't be like the Middle East's tycoons wielding a cheque book to chase the best players on the planet, and can only hope for the magic of Professor Wenger's 'turning stones into gold'.

"Xiao, are you interested in getting involved in the sports industry?" Smith, who was next to him, suddenly came up with such an idea, which made everyone at the scene find it quite interesting.

In recent times, Xiao Feng's horse racing 'Black Miracle' has become the brightest dark horse in the American racing season. Invincible at all levels of competition.

In a sense, Xiao Feng, who owns horse farms and horse racing, has begun to enter the field of the sports industry.

"Me?" Xiao Feng was a little incredulous, and said in disbelief: "I know more about football and the stars, and I don't know anything about the operation of the football industry!"

Xiao Feng can be regarded as a senior pseudo-fan. Whether it is the treble champion Manchester United, the Galacticos' Real Madrid, and the AC Milan of Shepchenko and Kaka, he is a treasure.

Aside from those unpleasant political factors, these three teams brought him a lot of happiness when Xiao Feng was a student, Beckham, Raul, Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, Shepchenko, Kaka, Casillas, etc., were once his favorite stars.

But Xiao Feng never thought that he had a top professional team!

Even today, with a net worth of hundreds of millions, Xiao Feng has no plans in this regard, after all, in his opinion, it is not a wise choice to venture into unfamiliar fields.

"It doesn't matter!" Kroenke shook his head and said, "I don't really know much about football, but I can leave professional matters to a professional like Ivan!"

In Kroenke's view, it is not a bad thing for Xiao Feng and Huaxia Capital represented by the 'Jinghu Group' to enter the Premier League, which will help further develop the Premier League market in Asia and make this cake bigger.

As a member of the Premier League, as long as the market share grows and the revenue increases, even if the competition becomes more fierce, it is acceptable.

"The Premier League team is easy to obtain?" Xiao Feng's curiosity was hooked this time, after all, his rise was too short, and in his subconscious, the clubs in the Premier League should be tall and tall.

"Don't look at the Premier League is so hot now, but there are many clubs that can't make ends meet, and many owners have the desire to make a move!" Kroenke has been involved in the Premier League for 6 years, and he knows all the secrets of the Premier League, and said with a smile: "Our rivals the Glazer family are now also unable to protect themselves, looking for buyers all over the world!"

Kroenke never thought much of it when he said this, he was just making fun of the Glazer family's idiots.

The Gunners still have a Champions League spot in contention this season, and even Europa League qualification is out of reach for the Reds in the first year after Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.

Compared to Kroenke, who is backed by the Walton family, the Glazer family's history is somewhat nouveau riche, and their assets are not so reliable, especially after the subprime mortgage crisis, the Glazer used Manchester United to pay off its debts, which put Manchester United under heavy financial pressure. As of now, although Manchester United is still one of the highest-grossing football clubs in the world, the debt of more than 300 million pounds is still shocking!

Over the years, the Glazer family has not sold Manchester United to the world's super-rich, but the Middle Eastern tycoons have chosen Manchester City, Manchester United's rival, and other rich people are not too interested in Manchester United's overpriced Manchester United.

On August 10, 2012, Manchester United was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Glazer family took a 10% stake in the club, raising about $230 million.

According to the current share price of Manchester United, the club is worth more than $2 billion, and it is the only three football clubs in the world worth more than $2 billion, the top two are Real Madrid and Barcelona!

Analysts point out that the Glazer family's public listing of a portion of Manchester United's stake is nothing more than to better bid for the Reds, which may be a way for them to find a buyer.

However, due to Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement and Manchester United's poor record this season, the performance of the stock market has naturally plummeted, which also makes it difficult for the Glazer family to sit still!

Kroenke didn't expect that because of his own words, the Premier League landscape would change dramatically in a short time!

The break was short-lived, and less than 10 minutes into the second half, the Gunners pulled a point back from Flamini's powerful strike to boost the home team's morale.

However, this season's Blue Moon is not bad after all, even in the away game, it is also methodically defused the Gunners' series of attacks, and finally the two teams shook hands!

Although the team was winless for three consecutive rounds, it was not embarrassing to lose in front of the guests, and Kroenke still seemed to be in high spirits and took Xiao Feng and his wife to meet Professor Wenger.

Xiao Feng used to see the picture of the professor directing the competition on TV, but now he was quite excited to see the real person, and even took out a notebook for him to sign.

For fans who have been watching football since the second half of the 90s, the professor-Jazz battle has become a kind of imprint on the Premier League, and the subsequent addition of Jose Mourinho has made the Premier League even more exciting.

Compared to other leagues, the huge power of managers in the Premier League allows them to play more roles, and they have a bit of a pig's foot halo in the competition.

Now Sir Alex Ferguson has retired with great glory and is in his old age, and Professor Wenger is 65 years old.

Xiao Feng left the Emirates Stadium satisfied, this time watching the game on the spot, he felt a lot, and also gave him the idea of investing in ......the football industry!
