Li Zhiwen and Holland Kremer are having a conversation in the office of the Mars Capital Chairman in the City of London.

"Boss, this is the information I collected about the British football team, take a look." Holan Kremer said holding a stack of information.

Li Zhiwen took the information and sat on the sofa and read it. The first thing that caught Li Zhiwen's eyes was.

“The British Football League consists of three football leagues.”

“The UK is a place with a strong football atmosphere, including the English Football League, the Scottish Football League and the Irish Super League.”

This is unimaginable in China. There are three football leagues in one country, and they can each participate in the European football bidding independently.

However, after thinking about the name of the UK, Li Zhiwen felt relieved. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, you can tell that it is a united country.

Originally, Britain was called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but in 1921, Britain was forced to allow the establishment of the Irish Free State of 26 counties in southern Ireland, while the six counties in the north still belong to the United Kingdom and were called Northern Ireland. The full name of Britain became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Of course, when talking about the history of Britain, it is hard to explain it. I won’t introduce it one by one here, so I will return to the football league.

"The English Football League is the oldest professional football league in world history, divided into three levels, consisting of the English Football Champions League (English Championship), the English Football League (English League), and the English Football League increased to 92 football teams in 1959, of which the football team consisted of 89 professional football teams and 3 Welsh football teams."

Li Zhiwen looked at the introduction to the English Football League on paper. What about the Premier League?

It’s not that Li Zhiwen is confused. After all, he is just a basketball fan and he still sticks to the terms of World Cup, European Cup, Premier League, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and other terms.

For the stars, they stay on names such as Messi, Ronaldo, Beckham, and Ronaldo.

The Premier League mentioned by Li Zhiwen is the English Football Super League. In 1992, due to the TV broadcast rights and ratings, 20 top teams in the English Football League left the Football League and formed the English Football Super League.

This has also caused the English Football League to drop from the original 92 football teams to 72 football teams.

Of course, Li Zhiwen would not ask Horan Kremer why there is no Premier League. Horan Kremer is a person who is rigorous and serious in his work. Since there is no Premier League in the investigation report, I think the Premier League has not appeared at this time, just like the NBA has only 22 basketball teams, and there are thirty teams that have not reached their peak.

Li Zhiwen continued to look down, and the following are introductions to some well-known teams.

In Li Zhiwen's impression, there is only one team in a city that serves as a representative, because when I say where I am, I support the team there.

In Li Zhiwen's impression, only Manchester has two teams, Manchester United and Manchester City.

But when Li Zhiwen saw the introduction of the London football team, he said, "What a guy, there are 11 football teams."

"Arsenal Football Club, established in 1886, is one of the largest clubs in England's history and the longest club in England's top football league. It has won 8 top league titles, 5 FA Cup titles, and 7 English Community Shield Championships. The club base is located in Hollow, London, and the team's home court is Highbury Stadium. Many people in the British royal family are Arsenal fans and are the most popular team in London."

"Chelsea Football Club, founded in 1905, is nicknamed the Blues. Its home stadium is located at Stamford Bridge Stadium near the Thames River in London. The West London team was heavily in debt due to the reconstruction of the stadium. It was later demoted to Class B with debt of 3 million pounds. The team belongs to the Mills family."

"Tottenham Hotspur Football Club was founded in 1882 and is home to the new White Hart Lane Stadium in Tottenham, north London, England. The club's motto is bold and dares to act and is Arsenal's mortal enemy. The game between the two teams is the North London derby."

"Winning the European Winners Cup in 1963 is the first team in China to win the European Championship. The team is heavily in debt due to the expansion of the West Stand of White Hart Lane Stadium and has the intention of selling it."

"Fulham Football Club, founded in 1879, is home to Craven Farm Stadium. Like Chelsea, it is a West London team. In 1975, it won the second place in the FA Cup and the second-tier team in the second division. The team is in poor operation."

"West Ham United Football Club, founded in 1895, is home to the Olympic Stadium in London, located in Newham, east of London. It was won by the European Cup Winners in 1965 and was relegated from the League One in 1978. The team's head coach is John Lair."

"Queen Park Rangers Club, located in Hammersmith Fulham, Greater London, was established in 1882. Its home is Loftus Road Stadium, won the League One championship in 1975 and was relegated to Class B in 1979."

When Li Zhiwen saw this, he was really not interested in watching it anymore. God knows how many teams there are in London.

Li Zhiwen roughly scanned it. There are Brentford Football Club, Charlton Football Club, Leiden Oriental Football Club, Millwall Football Club, Barnett Football Club, Crystal Palace Football Club, and 12 football clubs below.

And the football clubs below are Crystal Palace Football Club. Li Zhiwen has heard that the team that domestic player Fan Geyi used to play for was a "lift" team, but he didn't know that this team was actually in London.

Li Zhiwen had a headache. He thought that British football clubs were the same as NBA teams, one city and one team.

But now, there are 12 teams in London alone. How to choose this? And if there are 12 teams, London fans will definitely be diverted, which is very different from Li Zhiwen's idea of ​​buying a team.

Li Zhiwen thought for a while and asked Holan Kremer next to him: "Hollank, which team do you think do you think is the right team for us to acquire?"

Holankremur thought for a while and said, "Boss, it depends on which factor you pay attention to."

"How to say it, Holrank, tell me." Li Zhiwen became interested in his answer after hearing Holrank's words.

"Boss, if you consider economic factors, if you are in the level of your team, Chelsea Football Club, Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham Football Club will choose one. The current operating conditions of the three are not good, so it is easy to acquire, and the team has a lot of honors."

"But if we need to consider political factors, I think Arsenal Football Club is the best choice. First, the team is very strong and has many honors. Second, the team's fans are mostly rich, and many London politicians are Arsenal fans."

"But Arsenal's acquisition is extremely difficult. Currently, Arsenal's owner is the Sir Sutton family. He has a lot of connections in the UK, and the acquisition price of Arsenal is very high." Holan Kremer analyzed.

"Oh? Still like this, I'll think about how the teams in other cities are like?" Li Zhiwen asked.

"Boss, behind me are the top teams in other cities that I have regularized. You can take a look, but if you choose other city teams, you will have much weaker political influence than London teams." Holland Kremer said.

Holankremer understood what Li Zhiwen's purpose of acquiring the football team, so he spoke out to remind him.

Li Zhiwen nodded, said nothing, and continued to look back.
Chapter completed!
