Chapter 489

At this time, the University of London training center is relatively cold, and the first-team has been dissolved, which means that each echelon may still be there. At the same time, there are members of the coaching team.

Football clubs are like this. The members of the coaching team don't have holidays. They need to lead the team during the season. During the holidays, they also need to consider the situation of the team in the new season, such as player transfer, etc. arsenal is no exception.

In this regard, Li Feng is very excited. After all, he will meet Arsenal head coach Professor Arsene Wenger next. This is a former celebrity. After stopping the car, they walked into the training center under the leadership of a group of people such as the chairman of Arsenal.

As soon as he entered the center, Li Feng met many people, including the director of the training center and the first-team coaching team, including Professor Wenger.

"Professor Wenger, Hello, I'm your fan. I like Arsenal's playing style very much. I like offensive football and beautiful football." When Li Feng saw Wenger, he immediately extended his hand to him, held his hand and smiled.

Feeling Li Feng's enthusiasm, Wenger was embarrassed and thought to himself, who is this boy? I really know him well. Looking at the company of a group of big men, including the team president, I don't think he is the son of a British political big man. Is he the prince of the British Royal family, but it doesn't seem like it. I haven't heard of such a handsome young man who is obviously a mixture of East and West in the British royal family.

If Li Feng knows what the professor in front of him thinks, he doesn't know how he feels.

"Arsena, this is Mr. St. John Lee, a young tycoon from the United States. I've heard of the recently heated Rolls Royce acquisition in Britain. It's Mr. Li who wants to buy Rolls Royce." Perhaps seeing the professor's embarrassment, wood immediately explained.

……

"Coach Wenger, I also have a football team. Can you tell me how to improve the team's performance?" Li Feng asked questions like a baby and immediately made everyone cry and laugh.

"If a team wants to prosper forever, in addition to maintaining the competitiveness of the first team, it also needs a complete, healthy and scientific echelon construction, which can continuously deliver healthy and fresh blood for the first team, so that the team can last for a long time.

Take Arsenal as an example. The team needs a complete and scientific training center, a business development department, its own team home, etc., which are the key to the long-term success of a team, etc.

Now, how to keep a team competitive for a long time is not only a problem for the first team, but also a problem for the whole system of the team. "

"I see. My team in Los Angeles has its own team home, but the construction of each echelon and complete training center are still blank because we have just started, so we can only take our time.

Philip, it seems that our team is really far from good. "

"Who says not, but our major league has just begun. It's good to have so many teams now. We really need to keep up with the healthy development of European leagues such as the Premier League." Ann Schutz then cooperated with Li Feng's half true and half false reply.

……

"By the way, Mr. President, I can hear that your training center still rents the training facilities of the University of London, and your Highbury stadium is too old.

I've seen it before. It's only more than 30000 seats, which really doesn't accord with the face of a rich family. " Li Feng smiled and turned to Peter hilwood.

Sure enough, as Li Feng's words fell, there was a silence at the scene, especially old wood was very embarrassed.

"Coach Wenger, how much do you think it will cost to build a scientific and complete training center and a top stadium?"

In his previous life, Li Feng heard that Arsenal, whether the world-famous training center or the Emirates Stadium, was built up at the suggestion of Arsene Wenger. It can be said that Arsene Wenger gave Arsenal a cornerstone for healthy development.

"If we want to completely build a complete training base, according to the current estimation, it will not be less than hundreds of millions of pounds, but it can be carried out in stages. In the first round, perhaps only tens of millions of pounds, we can establish a training center for all echelons in London, and then slowly build our own training center.

As for the stadium, a top five-star stadium depends on the number of seats. For example, if Arsenal rebuild Highbury, it's best to expand the seats of the stadium to 60000-70000. Such a stadium is enough for Arsenal's future construction.

However, such a stadium, according to today's construction capital, should not be less than 200-300 million pounds. "

……

Listening to Wenger's words, Li Feng felt that many people around him were breathing in. Obviously, they were a little surprised. Now Arsenal has no training center, leaving only a dilapidated Highbury stadium. However, Li Feng feels it in his heart. Now it's much cheaper. It seems that the cost of the Emirates Stadium in the previous life is nearly 500 million pounds, but it's much higher.

Today's Premier League is not the one that makes global capital crazy in the future. Today's Arsenal's annual income barely exceeds 100 million. If all kinds of expenses are removed, it will even lose a little every year. It's a long way to achieve the goal.

Obviously, Wenger has a blueprint for the development of the team in his heart. However, considering that he has just come to Arsenal and only mentioned the training center to the team management, he just thought about the stadium in his mind. This time, he put it forward through Li Feng's mouth.

"In other words, if Arsenal wants to complete the construction of the team, such as the establishment of a scientific training center and a new stadium, it needs to raise at least 400 million pounds. According to the current exchange rate of the pound against the dollar, it is almost 700 million dollars, which is really a lot of money." Li Feng said with a sense of generality.

"Chairman wood, I don't know if you Arsenal have plans to build a new training center and a new stadium. I've heard a lot about the training center of the Premier League team. For example, Manchester United's Carrington training center is a holy land in the hearts of football fans all over the world. As one of the strong teams of the British Super League, it would be a pity if Arsenal didn't." After listening to Li Feng's words, Professor Arsene Wenger looked forward to Peter hilwood.

At this time, Peter hilwood and others felt that it was a mistake to take Li Feng, a young rich man, to visit Arsenal today. They didn't know whether Li Feng was intentional or unintentional. They didn't know how to answer people's questions.

……

If you want to answer 'yes' directly, you are calculating whether your shareholders are willing to bear the money. If you don't answer, it seems that your team is petty. Immediately followed David Dunn and others around him, looked at each other, and felt speechless.

"John, we have a plan for the training center. We are ready to complete it in several stages according to the situation of the team. As for the new stadium, today's Highbury is enough for the time being, and such a large sum of money can not be completed at once, but today's Highbury is really a little small, and we are also trying to find a way."

"Chairman wood, you may not know that Mr. anshutz runs a sports and entertainment company, which operates many stadiums and Gymnasiums in the United States. He has rich experience in building new stadiums. Maybe you can talk and reach cooperation.

This can be regarded as an ordinary Arsenal fan who has contributed to the team. "

"Haha... John, come on, building a stadium can't be done on impulse, and raising such a huge fund is still too dangerous for a team with a market value of 100 or 200 million.

You know, if you raise such funds, your team may have to repay every year. There is no money to buy players. There is no financial support behind it. If there is any accident, the team may go bankrupt. "

When Li Feng finished, Ann Schutz became the focus of everyone, and many people stared at Ann Schutz with a little expectation.

However, the two had long negotiated the principle of one singing red face and the other singing white face. Without hesitation, Ann Schutz began to pour cold water, which made hilwood a group of people feel dark. Think about it, it's true. And today's arsenal market value is really only worth more than 100 million, which is not the crazy era of later generations.

……

"Unless..." seeing the cooling hearts of the people, Ann Schutz was happy, but still hesitated.
