Chapter 447: Chang'an Derby

The three of them chatted freely and arrived at the world-famous Chang'an Stadium at 7:30 p.m.

This 200,000-seat stadium was built in the northwest suburbs of the central city of Chang'an, close to the Xian-Yang area of the previous plane.

The course, located on the banks of the beautiful Wei River, was built in 1967 and was originally known as the Royal Stadium.

This magnificent building is the last miracle-level building left by Zhang Bin, the founder of the People's Republic of China.

After Zhang Bin's death, the Zhang family withdrew from politics, China took off the coat of the royal family, and the stadium was renamed the current Chang'an Stadium.

Chang'an Stadium, including the surrounding sports and cultural area, has a total construction area of nearly 300,000 square meters, with a stadium area of 29,000 square meters, and as many as 100 entrances and exits alone, in order to evacuate spectators.

The area of the plastic track around the stadium is 21,000 square meters, and the area of the lawn is more than 8,300 square meters.

The long axis of the stadium is 500 meters, the short axis is 390 meters, the stadium has a total of 9 floors, with more than 1,500 rooms, including a variety of training grounds, swimming pools, ultrasonic bathhouses, steam baths, rest beds, fatigue recovery rooms, sports science research rooms, etc., there are more than 50 elevators in the stadium.

Outside the stadium, in addition to the main stadium, there are auxiliary fields with an area of more than 42,000 square meters with football fields and plastic tracks, and six football training fields with an area of more than 10,000 square meters.

The roof of the stadium is in the shape of an open starry sky, consisting of canopies and large semicircular inclined arches. The architectural form is novel and unique. The roof formed by 16 semicircular spans has a surface area of more than 94,000 square meters, with a length of 60 meters for the grandstand canopy and 40 meters for the off-site canopy.

The construction of stadium canopies alone consumes 20,000 tons of steel!

Since its completion, numerous large-scale sporting events have been held here that bear witness to history.

The most recent is the final of the last World Cup.

On July 14, 1990, Argentina defeated Germany in the stadium that shook the world and won the championship.

More than 210,000 people attended the event, setting a world record.

Tonight's match was a modest World Cup qualifier, with only 180,000 tickets in the stadium due to security concerns, and not all stadiums were opened.

But even so. 180,000 fans poured around the stadium. The scene and the scale are still so large that it is impossible to look at directly.

Du Xinghe: They arrived late.

Kick-off at eight o'clock, they arrived at the course at half past seven.

Most of the fans were already in the stadium by this time.

But even so, there are still a large number of fans around the stadium. Of course, there are also a large number of scalpers.

No matter what kind of society it is. This is a psoriasis-like tissue from a scalper. are comparable to the existence of cockroaches.

Every time there is a game of the Chinese team, thousands of scalpers will gather outside the stadium to make a fortune by reselling tickets.

Like this night. In the case that the Chinese team has been confirmed, it is simply an insignificant game, but due to the enthusiasm of the fans, the tickets have still been doubled by scalpers, such as the cheapest 50 yuan ticket on the top floor directly behind the goal, which has been fried to 100 yuan a piece. The scarce number of VIP billiards tickets has been fried from 3,000 yuan to 8,000!

The stadium seats on this level are different from those on the previous plane.

In the last plane, most of the tickets for the VIP seats in the stadium are gifts, and most of the fans sitting in the VIP stands don't know how to play to join in the fun.

This plane presents a diametrically opposite situation, the VIP stands of this plane, some tickets are also given out, but whether they are given or not, the people who come to the VIP stage to watch the football are generally as fanatical as ordinary fans, and like the sport of football.

Although badminton has been designated as the national sport of this plane by the Zhang royal family, in reality, football is the first sport of the nation. Men and women, young and old, love to watch football, and most of them understand football, and many people are also playing. This is the most fundamental reason why the level of Chinese football in this plane is several levels higher than that of the previous plane.

Girls like Qu Luoying and Lu Qin, who usually have nothing to do with football, are influenced by the atmosphere of the whole country and like football very much.

Especially Qu Luoying, as long as there is a game in Chang'an Stadium, she almost doesn't fall and comes to watch.

As the core of China and an imperial capital-level city, Chang'an has an extremely developed economy, with more than 20 professional teams in total. There are four teams in the top flight alone.

However, among these four teams, only the two strongest aristocratic teams in China, "China Chang'an Team" and "Chang'an Patriots", can use Chang'an Stadium as their home stadium.

The Chinese Chang'an team knows from the name that this is a team with the background of the Zhang family, and in this level of China, only enterprises related to the Zhang family dare to use the word "China" as a prefix.

China Chang'an Football Club is a football company controlled by the Zhang family, and it is also the only football company controlled by the Zhang family.

In this plane, China's top professional football league began in 1958, and by 1992 last year, it had been held for 35 sessions, of which the champions of the first 10 Chinese football leagues were all won by the Chinese Chang'an team without exception, and it was also the period when the Zhang family was the strictest ruler of the country.

The construction of Chang'an Stadium was originally built to celebrate the 10th consecutive league championship of the Chinese Chang'an team.

Unfortunately, not long after the completion of the stadium, the autocratic founder Zhang Bin passed away, and the Zhang family entered a period of turbulent rule.

At that time, although the Chinese Chang'an team used the Chang'an Stadium as their home stadium alone, their results were no longer as unbeatable as before.

(There was the great founder Zhang Bin before, and other teams didn't dare to play seriously with the Chinese Chang'an team, because if they won the Chinese Chang'an team, they were likely to be rectified, so the Chinese Chang'an team won the league championship early almost every year when the league was halfway through, and it was absolutely unbeatable.) However, such results have also directly affected the improvement of the overall level of Chinese football. At that time, the Zhang family engaged in football, which was completely a little fun to satisfy the great founders in their later years. It wasn't until the death of the great founder that Chinese football really entered a period of take-off. )

After moving to Chang'an Stadium at home, the Chinese Chang'an team won only two Chinese football league championships in the following 10 years, and the remaining eight championships went to his family. This reflects the turbulent ruling path of the Zhang family at that time.

Later, in the early eighties, with the withdrawal of the Zhang family from politics, the status of the Chinese Chang'an team as the leader in China was greatly impacted.

During this period, the Shenhai Blue Devils team dominated the Chinese football championship for five consecutive times, forming a new football dynasty.

Subsequently, Guangcheng Hengtao Dabao team won the league championship three times, which made China's football center of gravity begin to shift from the west to the southeast coastal area.

It wasn't until 1988 that Chang'an's team regained the league championship again, but the winner of the cup was not the aristocratic team China Chang'an Team, but the more cohesive and combative "Chang'an Patriot Team" representing the middle and lower class forces of Chang'an!

In the next three years, the Chang'an Patriots team won three consecutive Chinese league championships, and it was not until last year in 1992 that the Zhang family, who vowed to win next year's World Cup, restarted football to help the Chinese Chang'an team regain the league championship after 20 years.

In the five years from 1988 to 1992, China's top league championship was won by Chang'an teams, which brought China's football center back to the northwestern imperial capital, which also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Chang'an's local fans.

Last year, with the special approval of the Zhang family, the Chang'an Patriots can use Chang'an Stadium as their home stadium, and the poor team is finally on an equal footing with the aristocratic team, which makes many Chang'an lower-class fans ecstatic.

Last year's two Mars collision with the Earth in the league's Chang'an Stadium attracted more than 400,000 spectators, and the pomp and circumstance was comparable to the World Cup final in '90.

It was in those two decisive battles of Tianwang Mountain that the Chinese Chang'an team defeated the Chang'an Patriots and finally regained the long-awaited league championship.

At that time, Chang'an City was empty, although there were many people in Chang'an who supported other teams, after all, Chang'an not only had two professional teams, the Chinese team and the Patriots, but also the Pioneers, the Lightning and other professional teams, each team would have their own fans.

But no matter which team they like, these fans have obvious tendencies for the choice of the Chinese team and the Patriots. After all, the Chinese team and the Patriots represent two completely different classes. Fans who like the Chinese team, fans who like the Patriots, and fans who like the Patriots will also sneer at the fans of the Chinese team, in short, the fans of these two teams are just like their two clubs, they are incompatible.

In the two heavyweight derbies held in Chang'an Stadium last year, Qu Luoying went to the scene to watch them all. But she is not a fan of these two teams, her favorite team is the Chang'an Trail Blazers, because the Trail Blazers are a team sponsored by their Longke Group, she has followed her father and brother to watch the Trail Blazers games since she was a child, and has a special affection for the Trail Blazers.

But just like those fans who like other teams in the Chang'an area have a preference for the Chinese team and the Patriots, Qu Luoying also has a preference for the two most influential teams in the Chang'an area, however, she does not prefer the aristocratic Chinese team that is also related to her family, but the more combat-ready Patriot team!

She was rebellious by nature, and she was not the kind of character who tended to cling to the powerful when she was a child. Although her family has an extraordinary relationship with the Zhang family, she herself hates the Zhang family very much. (To be continued......)
