"I know, but England hosted the Champions League final in 2011, and by 2013, there had been a gap of a year, so I believe it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Zeng Cheng said with a smile. He clearly remembers www.biquge.info 2013 Champions League final at Wembley Stadium than at Old Trafford.

Of course, there was a good excuse at the time, and that was that 2013 was the 150th anniversary of the FA.

This is also the reason why Zeng Cheng was so anxious to tell Platini about this. If it slows, Old Trafford may not be able to compete for Wembley.

As for the FA's celebration at that time, Zeng Cheng didn't care. It has nothing to do with him, what does he care about?

Platini listened, thought about it again, and barely made sense, so he said: "Okay, Mr. Zeng, but I can only promise you that I will do my best to fight for it, after all, this problem is not something I can decide alone." ”

"Well, okay, that's it!" Zeng Cheng said with satisfaction.

As for why Zeng Cheng bid for the 2013 Champions League final, the reason is simple. Because Ferguson had already spoken to him before that, he would be in charge of Manchester United until 2013 at most, and then he would retire anyway.

Under such circumstances, Zeng Cheng could only give the old man a perfect curtain call. And wouldn't a Champions League win on their home turf be the perfect curtain call?

In particular, if Manchester United can change its fate and win the Champions League this year, then in 2013, winning the Champions League again is likely to be the fifth Champions League title in Manchester United's history, or even the sixth Champions League title, which is to tie the rival Liverpool, or even surpass Liverpool's Champions League champion, which is more commemorative for the old man.

Of course, there is another reason chosen to bid for the Champions League final in 2013, and that is that Old Trafford will be expanded this year and in the summer of the next three years, the inter-season break.

This is a proposal made by Manchester United management to Zeng Cheng just a week ago, mainly because since Zeng Cheng bought Manchester United Club at the beginning of the year, the team has exploded in strength and brilliant results, resulting in high enthusiasm among fans, but the original Old Trafford stadium has been almost full, so that more fans who can't buy tickets have left messages on Manchester United's official website, hoping that the club can expand the stadium.

Considering that Zeng Cheng, the Chinese owner, will bring a large number of Asian fans, especially Chinese fans, to watch the game, the Manchester United club's senior management felt that it was necessary to expand the stadium, and after careful discussion, proposed an expansion plan to Zeng Cheng.

Zeng Cheng readily approved the expansion plan for Old Trafford, because he believed that with the food he provided to the players of the Manchester United team, everyone's physical fitness and physical condition would be greatly improved, which would inevitably lead to an improvement in the team's performance, and the improvement in the record would definitely attract more fans to the stadium.

According to the complete renovation and expansion plan of Old Trafford, in three years, Old Trafford will be a supercourse with a capacity of about 108,000 people, which will add 32,000 seats to the current stadium and become the largest stadium in Europe.

Of course, the cost of the project is staggering, as it is not for the expansion of a single stand, but for the entire stadium, so the entire project will cost around £600 million. At the current exchange rate, that is about 700 million euros or 980 million US dollars or 6.7 billion soft sister coins.

This summer, the North Grandstand, the smallest of the works, will be renovated, and construction is scheduled to begin on June 1 and will take two months and about $100 million. Then, next year, in the summer of '10, the East Stand will be renovated, the West Stand will be renovated in the summer of '11, and finally the last South Stand will be renovated in the summer of '12.

………………

On the afternoon of May 27, local time, Zeng Cheng sat in the window seat of the bus and drove on the road from the Waldorf Astoria Resort in Kalevari to the Olympic Stadium. Along the way, both sides of the road are full of fans from afar.

Because in the previous home and away team draws, Manchester United drew away, so in this game, Manchester United players can only play in away white shirts, and the Red Devils fans are also consistent with the team.

On the street, those Red Devils fans in white jerseys immediately shouted excitedly when they saw the team's bus.

Some even ran after the bus, shouting incessantly, "Come on, Red Devils!"

Every time he saw this scene, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but smile.

He was following the Manchester United players to the Olympic Stadium in advance to see what was going on the pitch. As for the senior management of the Xianyuan Group who came to Rome with him, as well as several confidantes such as Su Yuemei and Tang Yin, as well as his girlfriend Fan Xueqing, they will come to the stadium later.

………………

"This is the Olympic Stadium in Rome?" Bai Xiuzhu just got off the official reception car, looking at the magnificent football stadium in front of her in amazement, and the lively scene in front of her.

Standing at the VIP entrance of the Olympic Stadium, the only thing she felt was that there were a lot of people. It's dense, like an ant's nest.

It's still in the square outside the stadium, and if you go inside the stadium, there will definitely be more.

A stadium that can gather more than 70,000 people, this is no joke!

"It's the first time, right?" Fan Xueqing, who got out of the car after her, saw her appearance and felt funny, "This is quite a few, if you go to Wembley Stadium in London, or go to the Bernabeu and Camp Nou, it will be called a spectacular, I don't know what words to use!"

Tang Yin, who came down behind Fan Xueqing, listened to it, and his face was unimaginable.

With only 70,000 people in the stadium, it is already such a grand occasion. So if you change to the 100,000 level of the Bernabeu and Camp Nou, what kind of situation will it be?

Xin Xiaoqiang, who got out of the car after Tang Yin, also smiled and said: "The most people I have seen is when I was studying in the United States, I once went to Ann Arbor to watch an NCAA football game, more than 100,000 people came to the scene, and that scene is unforgettable!"

This suddenly made Bai Xiuzhu amazed again. Although she had been in the United States for five years, she had never been to football or baseball, so she was not familiar with them.

However, she quickly remembered something and asked, "What about ...... What is the capacity of our Old Trafford stadium at Manchester United?"

She consciously classified herself as a member of the Red Devils.

"We, Manchester United?" Xing Xiuyan deliberately teased her on the side.

Bai Xiuzhu immediately realized her speech problem, and then looked at Tang Yin and Yin Tao, they both looked like they were smiling but not smiling, and immediately blushed, and quickly explained: "Well, Manchester United belongs to Zeng Cheng's brother, then I must also support it, I ......"

But she sadly found that the more she explained this kind of thing, the more embarrassing it became, and the more it was described, the darker it became. It's so decent, what are you doing with Zeng Cheng? She can't wait to pump her two ear scrapers!

"Alright, alright!" Fan Xueqing came out with a smile to clear the siege, "Let's go, he should be waiting for us!"

Xing Xiuyan chuckled, and when she walked into the VIP passage, she came to Bai Xiuzhu's side and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuzhu, why don't you go back and wait when you see your brother Zeng Cheng, and then you ask, what is the capacity of your new stadium for Manchester United?"

These words immediately made Tang Yin and the others giggle. On the other hand, Bai Xiuzhu couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground.

Didn't I just say the wrong thing? As for playing like this? If you do it again, I'll go back and poke you villain!

Everyone took the elevator directly to the VIP lounge on the second floor, and heard the crowd inside from a distance, thinking that it should be very lively. As soon as you enter the door, your eyes will naturally sweep towards the crowded places. As a result, I saw Zeng Cheng at first sight.

This guy was surrounded by people, leaving them with only a back, but even though it was only a back, everyone recognized him.

Zeng Cheng didn't have eyes behind him, and he didn't sweep around with his divine sense, so he didn't know that they had arrived, but Sandezi, who was still staying on the side, saw them, and immediately walked over and reminded Zeng Cheng.

Zeng Chenghao turned his head, and when he saw them, he immediately laughed, and after confessing to the people around him, he turned around and walked towards them.

Along the way, there are still people who take the opportunity to come up and say hello, or set up. Zeng Cheng smiled a little helplessly, and quickly pointed to a more remote corner in the distance, signaling to go over there to be quiet and quiet.

After sitting down, Zeng Cheng said with some stinky farts: "No way, you know that I am handsome, popular, and stupid, so I ...... it."

Fan Xueqing and the others couldn't help but laugh. The first half of this sentence is better, a typical braggart, but the latter sentence, isn't it too joyful?

At this time, a group of people walked not far away. At the head of the list are two people, and one of them is Rocella Sensi, the chairman of the board of directors of Rome?

I saw that this group of people seemed to be looking for it in the crowd, and as soon as they saw Zeng Cheng and the others, they immediately greeted them.

Zeng Cheng was suddenly depressed, he said that he was quiet, and he said that he was good to flirt and scold, but it was gone again. But he quickly adjusted his mood and smiled.

Beside Zeng Cheng, the other girls all stepped back, leaving Fan Xueqing standing beside Zeng Cheng.

"Hello, Miss Sensi!" Zeng Cheng walked up with a smile and shook hands with Rosella Sensi.

The Champions League final was held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and although the stadium had been requisitioned by UEFA, Roma and Lazio were still the hosts, so they naturally took on the role of hosts to receive guests. Roma had a better relationship with Manchester United, so they came to Manchester United, while Lazio went to Barcelona.
