Chapter 788: Mobile House

Matt Donald was driving his Chevrolet, which had been around for nearly a decade, on the aIo road north of Enfield to Hertfordshire, and the intersection in front was a little blocked, and he honked his horn a few times in a bit of a hurry.

The traffic moved slowly, but his mood was as impatient as ever.

It's not like the usual Matt Donald at all, because everyone who knows and knows him knows that this is a very patient and gentle man, and he is rarely seen to be angry with people, and he has never been seen drinking like other middle-aged people in their forties, but he is a die-hard fan.

Like everyone living in Northumberland, he is a staunch Tottenham Hotspur loyal

Because of this, he became the driver of Tottenham Hotspur and also the captain of the team.

This morning, he must rush to Theobald as soon as possible, for he has important business to do.

It turned out that there was a collision in front, which was very slight, but the aIo highway, which was not very spacious, was blocked in half, so the two-way car had to squeeze into one lane at the same time, and the car naturally had to slow down.

Seeing this scene, Matt Donald shook his head helplessly, lightly stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and the car was lifted a little, but the car still drove very steadily, and he was always able to bypass some bumps and bumps in advance, because he had been walking this road for seven years, and he had to walk several times a day, and he was very familiar with each section of the road.

Passing over the viaduct around the city, into Hertfordshire territory, it was not long before we came to Theobold.

The security guards recognized Donald's car, but they still came up to look at it as usual, and then greeted him with a smile and opened the gate to let him in, and Donald also drove directly to the employee parking lot and parked in his fixed parking space.

After getting out of the car and walking out of the parking lot, I saw the main gate of the training base coming in, walking a little deeper, and there were two luxury buses painted with white paint parked at the three-way intersection of Central Park opposite, with the black Tottenham Hotspur logo and the team's name printed on the side of the body facing the gate, and in some blank places, there were the logos of several major Tottenham Hotspur sponsors.

"Wow, that's great" Matt Donald smiled and walked forward quickly, approached the body, reached out to the car and touched it, it was very smooth and felt first-class, and he quickly went around to the front of the car, and saw a very wide front windshield in front of him, and under the front tailgate was the logo of the bus, Scania

"Boss, here," Evans, another driver for Tottenham's first team, waved at Donald.

Donald walked over, and the other three of the four drivers of the two buses in the current first team arrived, and they all greeted Donald when they saw him, which is also the customary name of the drivers in the convoy.

"Hello, my name is Eric, the representative of Scania" A middle-aged Nordic man walked over.

"Hello, Donald," Donald shook his hand.

Eric stood at the back of the two buses, from the back, there is nothing too noteworthy at the rear, next to the silver Scania English logo is printed [rtu], the Chinese name is Tongling, and below is a line of English letters, in cooperation with Hagrid, showing that this luxury bus is the result of the joint research between Scania and Hagrid.

Higer, which is the brand of China King Long United Automobile Industry Corporation, is referred to as Suzhou King Long.

"These two cars are tailor-made for you Tottenham Hotspur by us and our Chinese partners, 14 meters long, 2 and a half meters wide, 3 meters and 8 meters high, with a dead weight of 25 tons and 500 horsepower," Eric said as he introduced the two luxury buses to the four drivers of the Tottenham Hotspur first team.

"Although this car is made in China, the motor, gearbox and chassis technology are all from Scania, assembled by China Hagrid, except for the driver's side windows, all side windows are made of phase-type airtight explosion-proof glass, warning lights are set around the body, and there are eight camera monitoring probes around it."

Eric introduced the qiē around the body, and then walked to the front of the car.

The front of the car is very domineering, and the headlights are equipped with Lpd light clusters, including eight daytime running lights, turn signals, low and high beams, and cylindrical front fog lamps, while the rearview mirrors that stick out on both sides are like two powerful dragon claws, equipped with ground mirrors to see clearly the left and right sides of the front of the front of the car, interior mirrors for viewing the front of the two sides of the body, and traditional rearview mirrors, all of which are electrically adjustable.

The whole set of equipment can ensure that the driver sits in the driver's seat and sees the surrounding area without blind spots.

"That's the point, the lane departure warning system, which warns the driver when the vehicle accidentally deviates from the driving lane, reminds the driver to correct the direction, a very effective driving system," Eric said, pointing to a detection instrument under the front windshield.

When Donald and the others heard this, they all looked at each other, and they all felt that this thing was indeed advanced enough.

The door is electrically controlled, after opening, there are steps, the second step has the Tottenham Hotspur team logo, and the spacious driver's seat is full of dense function buttons, and there is also an LCD screen on the center console, which can provide the rear and side of the car when reversing, so that the driver can better grasp the body dynamics.

In addition, it is also equipped with a fixed cruise, body stability system, tire pressure monitoring, parking support control system, etc., which is very perfect, and the entire center console is similar to the design of the aircraft cabin, with a semi-circular package to the driver's seat, so that the driver can control all the qiē as long as he stretches out his hand during the driving process

The bus was originally supposed to accommodate more than 50 seats, but was changed to 30 by Tottenham Hotspur, and the space freed up was mainly in the back of the bus, and in addition to the second exit, a small kitchen was added with a refrigerator, counter, faucet, ceramic stove and other facilities, as well as a small bar and toilet.

The 30 seats, including the driver's seat, are all leather liftable seats, all with massage functions, and a few seats are specially designed for larger players, with a row of foldable massage tables.

In addition, Wi-Fi, satellite navigation, premium audio and entertainment systems are all essential for luxury buses, as well as four 19-inch LPD displays to ensure that all corners of the bus can be viewed without blind spots.

"They're going to envy us to death" Donald stood in the carriage, he listened to the whole introduction with his colleagues, and really felt that this car was not simple, and the facilities were very advanced and perfect, it was simply perfect

"This time, we will provide Tottenham Hotspur with five top-of-the-line luxury custom buses, three for the first team, two for the youth team and the reserve team, and we will also provide a number of luxury buses for Tottenham Hotspur to use, although it is luxury, but the basic facilities are similar, but there is no customization."

Eric feels that this time the company sponsored Tottenham Hotspur with a large amount of money, although the cost is great, but the gain must be not small, not to mention that before the Champions League final, the signing of this five-year sponsorship contract shows the company's ambition.

According to the agreement between the two parties, in addition to providing free buses, Scania is also responsible for vehicle maintenance, and they also provide Tottenham Hotspur with a sponsorship fee of 6 million euros a year, and a customized car like this must be at least 700,000 euros, and the luxury class must be about 400,000 to 500,000 euros.

It can be seen that Scania has joined forces with Tottenham Hotspur this time, and it is indeed a big effort.

But Tottenham Hotspur has an extraordinary global presence, especially in the US and Asia, which are the number one team in the world, and Scania is now focusing on Asia, which they see as the focus of the company's business in the coming years, especially China.

Therefore, Scania cooperated with Suzhou Jinlong to develop this bus and vigorously sponsored Tottenham Hotspur.

Just when a group of them knew and familiarized themselves with the bus, the team's commercial department and public relations department arrived at Theobald in succession, and the executive officer Peternien and the executive officer Ron Gulley also arrived at the scene, and at the same time arrived at the same time Scania's executive officer Martin Ted.

More and more reporters gathered outside, and under the organization of the team's security department, Matt Donald also began to organize his colleagues, he personally drove one of them, and Evans drove the other, and the two luxury buses slowly drove out of the training base, passed through the gate of Theobold, and appeared in front of all the reporters.

For a while, the spotlights were shining frequently, and countless reporters were attracted by this domineering appearance and full of modern aesthetic design, and Donald and Evans also opened the bus door and let the reporters come forward to shoot.

This is also the effect that Scania wants to create, they want to use the platform of Tottenham Hotspur to let more people around the world know about them and enhance their influence, at least in terms of brand awareness, they are still a long way from Tottenham Hotspur, but with Tottenham Hotspur, their influence can be greatly improved.

"I'm very happy to be working with Tottenham Hotspur," said Martin Ted, smiling as he faced dozens of journalists and media from around the world after signing the sponsorship deal.

'It's a very good team with a long history and tradition, and they've come to their best over time, but that's not all we chose to work with Tottenham.

"I think their philosophy is very close to ours, they are very, very detail-oriented, and I saw a very interesting thing in Genke, Belgium a year ago, I saw a Tottenham Hotspur bus circling around the city, and I wondered. ”

"Yes, the vast majority of teams, when playing away, especially in some places that are far away and not suitable for taking the team bus, they often prefer to rent a temporary painted bus and driver in the away city, so that it is convenient for them to play away, and I was thinking at the time that the empty bus should be temporarily rented to spray paint."

"But I soon knew I was wrong, it was indeed a Tottenham Hotspur bus, but why was it there?"

In fact, when Martin Ted said this, many, many reporters present were surprised, because most of them didn't know, or even knew what was going on.

Although every game, Tottenham Hotspur goes to the away stadium, there is always the team's bus waiting there, and they all feel that it is normal and accustomed to this, but now when they hear Martin Ted say this, they wonder, yes, why can they always see their bus away from home?

"It turns out that before every away game, they will arrange for one of the buses to go to the away stadium three or five days in advance, from the hotel they have booked to the stadium, they will go to familiarize themselves with the road conditions and environment of the city, and even they will go to understand the traffic jam and other aspects of the information, and then stop at the airport on time before the team arrives."

Everyone present suddenly realized, but it was more of an indescribable complex feeling, because they dared to say that there are really not many teams in the whole of European football that can do this, and insist on doing so, or even very few, and more of them are probably greedy for a convenience and rent a bus directly away from home.

"Yesterday, when I met with Mr. Ye Qiu, I asked him, and I said, why?"

When he said this, Longsted nodded again and again, "I was touched by his answer, he said, because the bus is a mobile home for our team, although the players have their own homes, usually rest in the training base, and go to the hotel every time they are away, but more, we sit in the bus together, I hope that even if it is away from home, a bus can create a sense of family for the team." ”

"I don't know how people feel when they hear that, but I'm really touched because they show their professionalism and professionalism in every little detail, and they also reflect their team's business philosophy, which is why I'm here."

Many reporters at the scene burst into applause, and Langsted's words were indeed quite sincere.

Peter Nien followed Longstead in his speech on the team's cooperation with Scania, hoping that this cooperation can achieve a win-win situation for all parties, and at the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to Scania for sponsorship.

This time, Scania reached a sponsorship agreement with Tottenham Hotspur as a commercial vehicle partner, because BMW only has family cars, so this time Tottenham Hotspur opened up a commercial vehicle partner, and Scania provided a sponsorship of six million euros a year, and obtained the exclusive right to cooperate with commercial vehicles worldwide

In addition to announcing a sponsorship deal with Scania, Peternien also invited all journalists and media to travel to Stratford Stadium in the afternoon, which has been completed ahead of schedule, and the team will travel to Stratford Stadium this afternoon for a simple opening ceremony.

Tottenham Hotspur will also accept bookings for official members of all teams and some fan clubs on the official website, mobile app and other channels from tomorrow, and all fans who have not been able to get or buy tickets for the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium will be able to enter Stratford Stadium for free to watch the live broadcast of the Champions League final.

For the first time in the history of the Champions League, the huge LPD TV screen at Stratford Stadium will broadcast the Champions League match live, and all fans will be able to enjoy the football feast from the stands, which will also be a preview of Tottenham Hotspur's match for Stratford Stadium, with all shops and facilities officially opened.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese Premier will visit Europe during the Champions League final, and at the invitation of British Prime Minister David Cameron and UEFA President Michel Platini, he will attend the Champions League final in person accompanied by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, which is undoubtedly the first time for the Champions League final.

In addition, on the issue of tickets for the Champions League final, although Wembley Stadium can accommodate 86,000 fans, only 59,000 tickets are for the public and fans, two of which Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich each received 25,000 tickets, and the remaining 9,000 tickets will be available to global ticket buyers through the guò network, which has been sold out.

In other words, on the day of the Champions League final, the price of tickets will skyrocket again, and the scalpers will show their skills at that time.

There is nothing UEFA and the participating teams can do about this phenomenon, and even the 25,000 tickets in the hands of the teams, although they are given to the team's die-hard members and sponsors, who can guarantee that these tickets will not flow out?

After the morning's activities, Tottenham Hotspur showed up at Stratford Stadium on time in the afternoon, but Ye Qiu and all the players did not stay long on the scene, they participated in a brief opening ceremony of the new stadium, and after an interview with reporters, they returned to Theobald.

For the recent period, Tottenham Hotspur has adopted closed training, Ye Qiu smiled and said that he is preparing a secret weapon for the Champions League final.

"As you know, our final opponent last season was also Bayern Munich, although we won that game, but I believe Heynckes is still very familiar with us, and he also said that he has been studying us for the past year, so I have to prepare some secret weapons, otherwise it will be difficult to beat Bayern Munich"

As for what the secret weapon was, Ye Qiu smiled silently, saying that he would know when he reached the finals.

But when interviewing the players, some people still revealed clues, such as Drogba, the Ivorian smiled and said that he was practicing hard headers and set-pieces, which was immediately interpreted by the outside media as Tottenham Hotspur was going to beat Bayern Munich with high-altitude bombing, because the German Banba's air defense capability is still relatively weak.

Hence the news that Drogba may replace Cavani.

But is that really the case?
