Chapter 405: Building a New Stadium

In the third round of the Portuguese Cup, the Portuguese Super League teams were all on the line.

Maritimo drew a draw in the top half of the bloc, where there are fewer strong teams, and managed to avoid the big and second brothers in the "Portuguese Super Three": Porto and Benfica.

They will face a second-tier team in the first round: Ligue 1 side Xavis.

Moreover, they have been lucky lately and have also drawn a home draw.

The match will be played at the Dos Barres Stadium.

Estadio dos Barores is a professional football stadium. Steeped in history and rich heritage, it has witnessed the ups and downs of Maritimo. But at the same time, the facilities are outdated, the capacity is small, and the stands that can only accommodate 16,000 people can no longer meet the needs of the majority of fans to watch the game.

As the team's record recovered, more and more fans poured into the stadium, looking at the crowded stands, Gao Yuan had a thought in his heart: it's time to put the new home stadium on the agenda!

The construction of a new modern home stadium is of great strategic importance for the development of a club.

Economically, larger capacity and better facilities are bound to attract more fans to watch the game, which can greatly increase ticket revenue. It can also drive the development of commerce around the stadium, and the faΓ§ade of the stadium can open commercial facilities such as comprehensive shopping centers and fan flagship stores; The naming fee and the rental fee will far exceed the ticket revenue, increasing the long-term income of the club's books.

Not to mention, when there are no games, the stadium can also be rented out to host concerts or other events.

And politically, it is even more significant. A new, modern stadium is a symbol of the club's strength. It is a testament to the strength and ambition of the club and will certainly enhance the club's status in the football world of the country.

The construction of the new stadium involves all aspects of land planning, approval, and construction, and must be strongly supported by the local government. The process of building the stadium is also the process of tying the club and the government together; After the construction of the new stadium is completed, it will inevitably be able to undertake the hosting rights of many large-scale events, and it will be inextricably linked with the Portuguese Football Federation and even UEFA.

Of course, building a new stadium was a very difficult process.

Because of the large amount of work in the construction of the stadium, the long construction period, and the huge amount of funds involved, once it is not done properly, it is easy to drag the club down.

For example, the former famous German football club Aachen had a smooth life, but because of the new new Tivoli Stadium, it was directly on the verge of bankruptcy, and because there was no money to buy good players, the record has declined seriously, and it has been relegated to the fourth division of Germany.

Tough players such as Tottenham and Valencia have also been dragged down by the budget of the new stadium, the debt has increased sharply, and the team's record has been declining.

Now it seems that Wenger started from scratch and saved up the Emirates Stadium by selling the captain, and he can still guarantee the results to compete for the fourth every year, which is really not easy!

Gao Yuan wants to build a new stadium, not out of thin air wishful thinking, but with a certain amount of confidence.

First, sponsorship from China has increased dramatically.

The car brand wanted a permanent naming rights so strongly that it even made an offer of 400 million euros. With this money, together with a part of the bank loan, it is completely possible to build a new stadium in Madeira, where land prices are relatively low.

Second, the idea of building a new stadium has been in place for a long time.

The Dos Barores Stadium is almost the smallest stadium in the Portuguese Super League, and its capacity and size do not match that of Maritimo's established clubs. As early as the time when Chinese capital took over, the new stadium was part of the negotiation agreement. Jiang Jianzhang promised to build a new stadium in the future, and the Funchal municipal government also promised to provide maximum support and assistance in land use, planning and construction, and even the land for the new stadium has been planned.

Third, Gao Yuan is confident that Maritimo will be under his own leadership, the results are getting better and better, and the success of the competitive performance can bring more benefits to the club.

A new stadium is the best investment!

Fourth, although Maritimo and the Portuguese Super League are just a springboard for the future, he doesn't just want to be a passerby, he wants to brand this club with his own brand, so that the fans here will always remember him, and starting from scratch and building a stadium is undoubtedly a good choice.

Just when Gao Yuan was thinking about building a new stadium for the club, in the VIP box of the stadium, Jiang Jianzhang, the major shareholder, accompanied by Chen Wenbin, Yan Ruyu and other executives, watched the game.

When he saw the scene of the stadium stands being full, Jiang Jianzhang nodded with satisfaction.

A lot of things are far more immersive than what you see on TV.

I've heard for a long time that the team's popularity is very hot, and when I see it now, it's true.

An ordinary Portuguese Cup match, against a mid-table team in the Portuguese league, the stadium with 16,000 people was packed!

And it's clear that it's not just 16,000 spectators, it's that the stadium can only accommodate so many people!

If there was a bigger stadium, how much would it benefit? Will the output be a profit or a loss compared to the high input?

But who can preside over such a big project? Does it depend on Chen Wenbin?

While Jiang Jianzhang was thinking, a somewhat flattering voice sounded in his ears.

"Boss Jiang, it's a pity, Gao Yuan has given the main players of the first team a holiday, otherwise you will definitely see a big victory!"

It was Chen Wenbin who spoke, and he never forgot to make a lofty report.

Yan Ruyu was unhappy on the side, and said coldly: "Chairman Chen, the management of the team is the job of the head coach. He must have given the team a holiday for the sake of the team's preparation, and besides, when he made the decision to take a holiday, Mr. Jiang hadn't said he was coming! ”

Chen Wenbin snorted coldly: "Since you know that Mr. Jiang is coming, you should cancel the holiday notice and let the players be on standby in the team!" I don't think some people have a boss at all! ”

Jiang Jianzhang frowned and reprimanded: "Lao Chen, how many times have I told you, the club is based on the team, and the team is respected by the head coach!" We must not only respect the decision of the high guide, but also give him enough support! Those words you just said. I don't think I heard it, and if I hear you say that again in the future, don't blame me for being rude! ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Chen Wenbin was submissive in front of the big boss.

"Xiao Yan, Lao Chen is a little stubborn, stubborn donkey, his brain often can't turn around, and his mouth stinks, don't mind! Please also turn around in front of the high guide, don't let the high guide misunderstand! ”

Turning his head, Jiang Jianzhang had a completely different tone towards Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu smiled faintly, "I don't dare to be angry with the old-timers!" ”

Although the words were polite, the tone was cold.

"Hehe, the future of the club still depends on you young people, I know the experience of the two of you, not only a good partner at work, but also a talented and beautiful pair in life! Haha, don't be shy, I'm from here, just tell the truth! Haha, you two golden boys and girls don't have the same knowledge as Lao Chen! Sooner or later, he will be swept into the dustbin of history! ”

Jiang Jianzhang said boldly, as if he had no scheming at all, and he had something to say.

Chen Wenbin's face was extremely ugly, and the sweat was down, but he still couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Yan Ruyu was so ashamed that her face was red and her ears were red, and her pretty face was full of peach blossoms.

At this moment, the whistle sounded on the field and the game began.
