"Uh......" Hearing Zhuang Mingge's rebuttal, Kenyon couldn't help but be speechless for a while. Indeed, although Florence has become one of the symbols of Tuscany and Italy over the years, the population of only 440,000 has greatly limited the size of the Stadio Franchia. Even if Fiorentina did build a stadium that was as large as the Maracana in terms of capacity, it would be useless, because the whole city of Florence simply did not have enough fans to fill the stands on all four sides, and it would also lead to a decline in attendance, which would discourage the players.

You know, maintaining the atmosphere at home is a very important thing for any club. Think about it, when the players stepped onto the pitch and found that there were large vacant seats in the stands on all sides, and the atmosphere at home was not strong at all, it was a big blow to the team's morale.

From this point of view, Zhuang Mingge is indeed very reasonable, and the current Frankie Stadium does not need to be greatly expanded. With the time and financial resources, it is better to think about developing the area around the stadium and strive to make this area the most famous business district in Tuscany and even in Italy, so as to increase the club's financial income.

After all, the Stadio Frankie is not close to the centre of Florence, and it can even be said that it is somewhat remote, so the amount of money and difficulty required to develop the area around the stadium is actually not very high. Unlike London and Milan, where space is at a premium, clubs have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to add thousands of seats to their stadiums.

"That's right, boss." Noticing that Kenyon was a little short of words, Antonioni stepped up at this point and took over, saying, "The expansion of Frankie Stadium is the conclusion reached by our three general managers after discussion. We believe that this will bring us many benefits to Florence. ”

The main reason why Antonioni came forward to explain was that the other two were not very suitable to speak on this occasion. Although Poirot is called the general manager, he himself comes from the Corleone family, and his status is somewhat different, so he is not suitable to speak on such an occasion; Kenyon, on the other hand, is in charge of the club's commercial development, and the expansion of the stadium, although somewhat related to his area of responsibility, is not very much in charge, so he does not know as much about this aspect as Antonioni.

"Huh? So Giancarlo, tell me what benefits will the expansion of the stadium bring us? Or rather, what is your reasoning? Antonioni's words successfully aroused Zhuang Mingge's interest, and he asked curiously, "Don't tell me that ticket revenue will increase because of this, we all know that in the absence of special events that cause a significant increase in the population, Fiorentina's current population can support a stadium of no more than 60,000 people at most." This will also require the approval of the municipality to improve the transport environment around the stadium and make it easier for fans to get to the Frankie Stadium to watch the game. ”

"In the 10 years since you took over, Fiorentina has indeed achieved remarkable achievements and gradually grown into one of the top clubs in the world, but as a world-renowned top club, don't you think that the current Stadio Frankie is a little unworthy of our Fiorentina identity?" Seeing that his boss did not directly reject their proposal, Antonioni, who felt that he had a door, immediately said, "You must know that whether it is the Bernabeu, Camp Nou, San Siro or the Allianz and Emirates Stadiums under construction, according to the rating standards published by UEFA, they are all proper five-star stadiums." The Stade Franqui, which was modernized several times in the 90s, was better than many other stadiums in terms of hardware, but it could only be rated as a four-star due to the capacity of the stadium, which inevitably damaged Florence's reputation as a top giant. ”

"Well, that's a good reason. Come to think of it, almost all the top giants in Europe, almost all of their home stadiums are five-star stadiums, which is really unwilling. Zhuang Mingge did not respond to Antonioni's statement at the first time, and he now needs some time to weigh the pros and cons in order to make the decision that is most beneficial to Fiorentina.

To tell the truth, after Antonioni's analysis, it is obviously nonsense to say that Zhuang Mingge is not moved. After all, compared with other top giants, Florence is really inferior in this regard, which naturally makes Zhuang Mingge, who has always taken the ultimate goal of building Florence into the world's premier super giant, into a competitive mind.

The most important thing is that, according to the relevant information provided by Antonioni and the attendance statistics of the Frankie Stadium in the last three seasons, Fiorentina's current population can fully support a stadium with a capacity of around 55,000 people, and can also guarantee an attendance of more than 80% during non-important matches, which will not have any negative impact on Fiorentina's home atmosphere.

The information provided by Antonioni completely dispelled Zhuang Mingge's last concerns, and after a full hour of thinking, he finally made a decision under the expectant gaze of Antonioni and others: "Then, let's expand the capacity of Stadio Frankie as you suggested, I don't want to see that among those top giants, only our Fiorentina home stadium is not five-star...... As for the transport issue, I'll talk to Prime Minister Romano Prodi when I have the time to see if I can revamp the Amerigo Vespucci airport so that it can handle passengers to meet UEFA's standards. After all, there is no airport of sufficient standards, and no matter how advanced and beautiful the stadium is, it is impossible to be rated as a five-star stadium. ”

"No problem, boss." Seeing that the plan was approved, Antonioni couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said excitedly, "I will definitely find a quality and quantity to complete this task, so that Frankie can become a five-star stadium that can match our status in Florence!" ”

In this way, after some heated discussions, Zhuang Mingge and others finally reached an agreement on the expansion of Frankie Stadium, and decided to add 8,000 seats in the renovation process, so that the total capacity of the stadium increased to 55,000. At the same time, other hardware facilities, such as the number of VIP boxes, site conditions, service facilities, etc., are also built in accordance with the evaluation standards of five-star stadiums announced by UEFA.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, Fiorentina will have their own five-star stadium.
