Chapter 14 Preparation of Proposals
For the rest of the day, Li followed Arsene Wenger, observing the details of his first-team training, his handling of club affairs, and his habits and preferences. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ida and Han Shao also put away their usual playful mentality, and cooperated with Xiaoxue to perfectly record this bit by bit with words and images. Sometimes seeing the ball inevitably itchy feet, Li Haolong couldn't help but upside down the ball, occasionally played a few tricks, and also attracted the applause of the players, Wenger jokingly said that the ball sense is good, you can consider signing him. Li Haolong waved his hand again and again, this is really a class axe, not to mention his knees...... At this time, the look in his eyes was gloomy again, and Xiao Xue's heart was as thin as numbness, holding his hand tightly and giving him strength.
Even after a year, Li Haolong is still trying to adapt and adjust his mentality, fortunately, he has a new goal, and now he is on the way to achieve it, and the beauty is on his side, what more can he ask for. God closes a door to you, and there will always be another window open for you......
After just seven days, after saying goodbye to Arsenal, the four spent another two weeks, visiting 12 other clubs in London, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, West Ham and ...... Experienced the different management culture and styles between the clubs, and was also invited to watch the two home games in the eighth round of the English Premier League, Chelsea defeated Leicester, the dark horse of last season, Leicester, and Arsenal beat Swansea 3-2, fully felt the British fan culture and stadium atmosphere, the frenzied atmosphere on the scene made the non-fans Ida was excited, Li Haolong's eyes seemed to be about to shoot out, he could almost imagine himself standing on this stadium in the future to scold Fang Xuan's spirit.
After the inspection in London, it stands to reason that it should be Birmingham's turn, but Li Haolong deliberately ranked it last, first, to facilitate the return of the two girls to school, and second, to have a strong interest in the Chinese atmosphere here, as early as when Xiaoxue was still on the plane to introduce it. Xiaoxue and Ida asked the school for an extended vacation, the four of them went to Manchester, where there is the most famous club in the United Kingdom - "Red Devils" Manchester United and the emerging aristocratic "Blue Moon" Manchester City, Manchester United Club has the most extensive fan base in China, Manchester City was acquired by an Arab consortium from the Middle East in 2008, after the creation of super gold dollars, it has become a top giant, the collision of traditional power and emerging giants, in Manchester can best reflect the current pattern of the Premier League.
The focus of the trip was on Manchester City, and the focus was on the impact of capital on football. When President Xi Jinping visited the United Kingdom in 2015, he specially visited Manchester City and took a photo with the star Sergio Aguero, which became a topic of conversation. Manchester City has always attached great importance to the Chinese market, and is the team with the best attitude and the most important to the fans among the visiting teams in China, not the kind of club that only wants to make money, and has a good reputation among Chinese fans. And Chinese player Sun Jihai played in Manchester City for 6 years before Manchester City, is the main player of the club, his panacea style and diligent attitude are deeply loved by Manchester City fans, everyone affectionately calls him "Chinese Sun", can be called Manchester City famous. Manchester City Club also welcomed several Chinese guests to visit, providing the greatest help for the trip, which made Li Haolong full of gains.
The trip to England continues with the Red Army, Liverpool, Leicester Foxes, Toffee Everton, Eagle Crystal Palace, Charlton the Swordsman, Saints Southampton, Swan Swansea...... Experiencing the customs and different club cultures of all parts of the UK, I almost turned around the whole of England before finally arriving at the final destination of Birmingham.
There was no rush to West Bromwich Albion, Birmingham and Aston Villa, at the strong request of Li Haolong, the four of them first spent two days at the University of Birmingham Business School, experienced the atmosphere of the British university campus, and also specifically asked familiar professors and tutors about the economic issues of Brexit, and fully listened to their views, which is also a must-do homework. Li Haolong and Han Shao's cultural foundation is weaker, and at this time, the role of Xiaoxue and Ida is fully played, especially Xiaoxue, according to Ida, Xiaoxue is a student bully, Li Haolong is glad that he had a bar experience that night, Xiaoxue is simply an angel sent by God.
Birmingham City Club has had no time to manage the club since its owner, Yeung Ka Shing, was accused in a money laundering scandal in 2011, and the club has been in a tepid situation and has been hovering in the Championship. West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, was sold to a Chinese investment group led by Lai Guochuan in August this year, and the home shirt for the new season continues the traditional striped combination of white and navy blue, and the addition of sky blue makes people feel renewed, showing an upward trend, and has become the only representative of the West Midlands in the Premier League (Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton are the three major cities in the West Midlands). And Aston Villa, one of the oldest teams in the Premier League, had a dismal performance in the Premier League last season, becoming the first Premier League team to be relegated this season, and the team's American owner Randy Renard therefore had the idea of retiring and wanted to sell the team, with a price tag of only 57 million pounds.
The two did not find another place to live in Birmingham, and directly lived in the apartment rented by Xiaoxue and Ida near the university. The most important thing now is to write a detailed plan, so that when you return to China and announce it to your family, it won't make them feel too childish.
"Are you really sure it's Aston Villa?"
"Hmm!"
"Actually, Birmingham is not bad, now that they are in a chaotic situation, it may be easier and more favorable to buy at this time."
"I think so, Aston Villa is more well-known in China, and has a longer history, and the current situation in Birmingham is too complicated, Chairman Yang's situation is not good, the water is too deep, we should not get involved, my first time doing things, let's be steady."
After three full days of staying at home, the plan was completed, including a survey of the situation in various parts of the United Kingdom, an analysis of the operation of Premier League clubs, a summary and excerpt of the views of various celebrities on Brexit, and the possible additional benefits of entering the British professional football circle.
