【917】 Debut

When the team bus arrived at St. James Park, it immediately attracted great attention from fans and reporters, and everyone rushed over to try to get intimate contact with the players.

The security personnel on the scene were facing a great enemy and formed a wall to protect the players and coaching staff members into the stadium. However, even so, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans. The reporters even asked questions to every player who got off the car. In short, the atmosphere at the scene was quite warm!

In this case, no one paid attention to the luxury team Xiao Feng and the club's senior management. They got off from the parking lot on the other side and entered the stadium.

Xiao Feng did not go to the locker room to visit the players. He had a clear understanding of the tradition of the locker room in England. In order not to cause conflicts, he went to the private room in the main stand accompanied by Keegan and others.

It is called a VIP box, but it has been decorated and soundproofed. It does not have the legendary luxury box covered with velvet carpets. At this point, St. James Park is not comparable to Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge. The St. James Stadium, which was built in 1880, has a long history as the team, which also means that this is a backward stadium that can no longer keep up with the situation of modern football.

Xiao Feng has plans to ask Huaxia Construction Construction’s construction team to comprehensively renovate the St. James Stadium after the end of next season, increase the number of existing seats to 68,000, replace ergonomic seats, add movable ceilings and other ancillary facilities, and build 200 super luxury private rooms!

The basic cost of the entire project will not be less than US$100 million, but it will be of great benefit to the club's attendance rate and ticket operation in the next three years. After all, Newcastle is the most popular Premier League club in northern England. As long as the team's performance improves, there is no need to worry about the attendance rate!

In the future, the Jinghu Group may even cooperate with the Qianxin Group to build a brand new sports city in Newcastle. In addition to the football stadium, there will be various commercial areas, with a total investment of more than 500 million pounds!

Lin Jian is one of the few people in China who have a clear understanding of the football industry. His "Jinzhou Qianxin" set an unbeaten record in 55 games in the domestic top league. Qianxin Group has also entered the vision of the people of the whole country. Although later, as the domestic football environment continued to deteriorate, Lin Jian sold "Jinzhou Qianxin" and faded out of the football world, his inner love for football has never been extinguished.

Last time at the 'Dream Ranch', Xiao Feng had reached a framework agreement for cooperation with Lin Jian. The two parties will jointly invest in the construction of a new sports city in Newcastle and jointly develop a community of sports industry and commercial real estate.

At present, the "Minghu Group" and the "Qianxin Group" have used various hidden channels to find suitable new stadium locations in Newcastle's convenient transportation areas. After the new stadium is completed in the future, St. James, located in the most prosperous area of ​​Newcastle city center, will be completely demolished and another £500 million is invested to build a huge commercial city.

The total investment of the construction of the new home court and the development of the commercial city will not be less than 500 million pounds, which means that only wealthy consortiums such as Jinghu Group and Qianxin Group have the ability to be at ease.

However, these cooperation intentions are only the highest secrets of Xiao Feng and Lin Jian, and the outside world has no way to know them.

…………

There is still more than an hour before the game officially starts, but more than 80% of fans have poured into the stadium, and the entire stands is a sea of ​​black and white.

In international football, there are two teams famous for their black and white sword shirts. The Italian Zebras are the most famous club, while Newcastle also has a profound foundation.

Although Newcastle Club cannot be compared with the Zebra Legion, thanks to the support of Newcastle and even the majority of fans in northern England, this team is still a force that cannot be ignored!

Xiao Feng hopes that through continuous investment, Newcastle will become a backbone force in English football, so that a virtuous cycle can be achieved and profits will be no problem.

Both Chelsea and Manchester City's experience of rising have proved that as long as there is sufficient financial support, a mid-range team will not be without a chance if they want to become a giant!

No matter from any perspective, in addition to "the ancestors have never been rich", Newcastle has a good foundation for becoming a wealthy family in all aspects!

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Feng chose Newcastle United among several alternative targets!

The atmosphere in the Premier League is quite warm, and the neat and loud singing has never stopped. Echoing over the court, Xiao Feng feels very comfortable.

Xiao Feng knew that if you want to know a club’s fans, you can see some clues from their singing, especially if the fans are willing to spontaneously write a song for a certain player, it proves his lofty status in the minds of fans.

When Hiller was in great power at St. James Stadium, fans created the song "Heyy Shooting Arer" for him, and every weekend was spent with Newcastle!

When the players started to warm up, the entire stadium became a world of ice and fire. The treatments encountered by home team players and visiting team players were completely different, with cheers and boos one after another.

Of course, the two players who received the most cheers among the players were Di Maria and Alonso. After all, they have played a mainstay in the past six league games.

Head coach Shearer's appearance also won a lot of applause and cheers. Fans still have a great impression of this super forward who has brought them many happy times. Even though Hiller only won 5 points in 8 league games when he was the team's head coach, which eventually led to the team's relegation, the fans did not blame him too much.

In fact, Newcastle United in the 2008/09 season was already terminally ill. Even if Sir Ferguson was replaced, he would be unable to make up for the situation, let alone Hiller, a novice?

This time Hiller entered the palace for the second time and coached Newcastle again, and his performance was not bad. His 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses can be explained. After all, the team has undergone a major change in this season. When the team's running-in period is over, the results will surely be further improved, and the players' strength is there.

In a sense, fans are far more tolerant than the market and capital. They can often remember the happiness brought to them by players and head coaches, but often ignore many other things.

At this point, the fans of the Chinese national team are even more so. They can be said to be 'You abused me thousands of times, and I treat you like my first love', which is sad and pitiful!

…………

It was 16:00 p.m. local time in England. Newcastle's home match against Manchester United officially began. It was already 24:00 p.m. Peking time!

Because it was the weekend, tens of millions of Chinese Premier League fans were still watching the game in front of the TV, which was also the focus of this round.

Needless to say, Manchester United is the most successful club since the establishment of the Premier League. It has countless fans in China. Even though the team only won the seventh place in the league under Moyes's "death" coach last season, this is the lowest record since the establishment of the Premier League! The Red Devils are not even qualified to participate in the European arena, which really shocks the entire football world.

This year, Manchester United invited Dutch coach Van Gaal and invested 130 million pounds in the transfer market, introducing a group of good players including Mata, which is very ambitious.

On the other hand, Newcastle also invested more than 100 million pounds of transfer funds this summer, including even snatching food from Manchester United for £66 million, and capturing Argentine Angel Di Maria. The key role played by Beckham in the transfer process was also talked about by the media, and it has become a topic that is of concern to today's game.

In short, there are quite a lot of topics in this league, both off-court and on-court. In addition, there is no strong dialogue in this round, so this game has become the focus of the battle.

Sky TV broadcasts this game against all over England, and countries that can receive signals in the Asia-Pacific region are also broadcasting this game full of "Chinese elements"!

This year, due to the strong demands of fans and the hints of senior Republic officials, Huaxia National Television purchased the rights to broadcast the Premier League game, which is also a blessing for the majority of fans.

Therefore, on that night, tens of millions of fans were waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the game to begin!

After the game began, although Manchester United's strength was slightly superior, Newcastle relied on its home advantage to take the initiative on the field, and Manchester United's counterattack was also quite threatening.

The characteristic of Premier League games is that they are fierce in confrontation and fast pace of the game. In addition, the fans who are close to each other are not only excited, but even the TV audience is enjoying themselves!

When the game entered the stalemate stage, the director on the scene also began to turn to the stands. Whether it was the fans' sway, the singing or the big guys in the VIP box, they were all part of the game!

"Now the camera has turned to the private room area of ​​St. James Stadium. I don't know if Keegan and Beckham will watch the game live today. In Newcastle Club, the entanglement between them and Manchester United is the deepest!" Liu Jian of China TV introduced Keegan to the audience and the origins of Beckham and Manchester United Club, and said with a smile: "This game is full of highlights, both inside and outside the court!"

"Let's see, there was a very familiar face in the box that the audience actually had. This was also the first time Mr. Xiao Feng came to the St. James Stadium to watch the game!" Liu Jian's partner Duan Xing quickly discovered Xiao Feng, who was chatting and laughing with Xiao Bei and Keegan, and pointed it out.

For China TV, in addition to some external factors, the introduction of the Premier League broadcast rights is also a very important reason for the Chinese elements of Newcastle Club.

When Sun Hai, Li Gang and others were active in the Premier League, Manchester City and Everton instantly had millions of fans in China, and their ratings were greatly improved.

Therefore, more and more Chinese fans regard Newcastle United as the home team this season. As long as Newcastle games are broadcast, the ratings are still guaranteed.

After all, Newcastle now has top stars like Di Maria, and its playing style is relatively open, and whether it is head coach Shearer or club senior Keegan and Beckham can attract the attention of fans.

But what disappoints everyone is that Xiao Feng, the Chinese boss, never appeared at the St. James Stadium. When he appeared suddenly today, even Liu Jian and Duan Xing were a little excited!

In fact, in addition to the broadcast commentators of China TV, commentators from all over England, Arabia, South Asia, Baodao and Xiangjiang also commented on Xiao Feng's appearance, and the live director also cleverly placed the screen of Room 1 on the large screen on the scene.

Newcastle fans have always had a little favor and enough curiosity towards the club's Chinese boss. Now Xiao Feng is watching the game on the spot, which immediately attracted cheers from all the fans!

Although these cheers do not mean that Xiao Feng has received all the support of the fans, at least Xiao Feng's large transfer funds and measures to reduce the price of tickets have won the recognition of fans!

At Xiao Bei's low voice reminder, Xiao Feng stood up and waved to the audience with a smile, which attracted greater cheers and applause from the fans.

At this time, the game on the court became secondary, and fans seemed to be using this method to welcome the club's generous boss.

Of course, after this brief episode, everyone's attention quickly returned to the game. After all, the players are the only protagonists on the stadium!

With the cheers of home fans, Newcastle United finally defeated the visiting Manchester United with a score of 2:1 and won the third league victory. The two stars Di Maria and Alonso lived up to expectations and each scored a goal!

For fans on the scene, the day of winning is always so wonderful. Even if the players have left the court, the singing on the court is still resounding!

That night, in Sky TV's Premier League special, the game between Newcastle and Manchester United also became the highlight, and the reporters also reported that Xiao Feng appeared in the private room of the stadium.

At the same time, the photos posted by Xiao Feng on the scarf also made fans excited. The forwarding, comments and likes all instantly broke through the million levels, which shows Xiao Feng’s popularity on the Internet!

Xiao Feng also paid a little attention to some comments on the Internet and found that his appearance at the stadium to watch the game did not arouse the fans' disgust, which also made him feel much more relieved.

Xiao Feng bought the club not to be angry. If he was boycotted by fans like Ashley, even if he could earn more money, Xiao Feng would not be happy.

It's still good now. My first public appearance at St. James Stadium is quite successful! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
