[The Times: Manchester United legend Cantona was interviewed: There is no doubt that Manchester United will announce his return to the world at the Emirates Stadium!
Chen Mo? Oh oh oh, I have heard of this kid, but the reason why he is so arrogant now is just because I have retired. If I were still at Manchester United, he would have gone back to his mother crying now. 】
[Team News: Arsenal legend Bergkamp was interviewed: Shut up that guy. Besides putting up his collar on the field to show off, what else can he do?
Kick the fans? If he hadn't played for Manchester United, he would have been in jail.
In addition, tell him that he and Xiao Mo are not at the same level as players, so don't try to get into trouble. 】
[The Telegraph: Arsenal's meritorious captain Adams blasted Wenger: He is a vampire who only knows how to make money! He has been blinded by power! We have so much money in our account, why don't we want to sign players in the summer window? !
What? Reject the invitation from Real Madrid and Barcelona? No, no, no, he is not as noble as you think. He refuses to leave Arsenal simply because no club in the world will give him such great rights except Arsenal!
Yes, Arsenal's signings are entirely up to him, and he must be responsible for Arsenal's poor performance this season!
What? ! No! Of course not, my dissatisfaction with him is certainly not because he refused to let me join the Arsenal coaching staff, I am just stating a fact! 】
[The Telegraph: Arsenal legendary forward Wright was interviewed recently: Adams is a selfish guy. Everyone knows why he is bombarding the club at this time. I don’t want to talk more about him.
Will Arsenal sink?
Well, to be honest, the outside media are all badmouthing us now, but it's like when Arsene landed in the Premier League in 1996, all of you put up the slogan "Arsene Who", but you all saw the result. He led us to break Manchester United's record. The monopoly of seven Premier League titles in eight years.
In the 0304 season, he claimed at the beginning of the season that he would win the championship undefeated. At that time, people laughed at him for being crazy, but in the end, he really won the championship undefeated.
In the 0405 season, he spent 20 million euros to bring that little guy from Barcelona. You also said that this would be the most famous failed transaction in the history of Arsenal. As a result, this little guy later led Arsenal to win two Champions Leagues in three years. He and Arsène accomplished something world-renowned.
So, I have absolutely no idea why you have any reason to doubt them now.
Yes, Arsenal did lose their dominance in the first two games, but... to be honest, I'm only talking about what I saw.
What I see is that we are actually in a stage of climbing up from the trough, rather than the state of still falling that you say. We have found a style of play that suits us, the direction and goals have been determined, and all that is needed next is It's a matter of time. 】
As the game between Arsenal and Manchester United approaches, the hype from the outside world is getting hotter day by day.
Not to mention those passerby fans, even retired stars such as Bergkamp, Cantona and Wright came out for interviews.
There is naturally a hand behind such a large-scale and tit-for-tat operation.
Yes, with the rise of Manchester United, the Football Association is preparing to form a duo model between Manchester United and Arsenal again.
The reason is very simple. After the collapse of Serie A, the Premier League and La Liga are now competing for the first league.
But a dominant scene cannot become the first league.
Bayern is strong enough, but the Bundesliga has never become the first league because there are too few focus battles within the league and too few things for the media to hype.
With the popularization of the Internet, this era has gradually moved towards the traffic era, and the proportion of sponsorship fees and broadcast fees in revenue has begun to far exceed ticket revenue.
To be honest, Wenger is already regretting it now. When he wanted to build a new stadium, a big reason was because Highbury could only accommodate more than 30,000 fans.
In his day, ticket sales accounted for more than half of the team's revenue.
In the eyes of Wenger at the time, the expansion of the stadium was a ten-year hardship for himself, but it could bring peace to Arsenal [for all eternity].
However, in the past two years, the proportion of ticket revenue has dropped to less than 35%, and it is still declining year by year.
To be honest, Wenger is actually quite unlucky.
When stadium expansion meets the Internet age, the importance of tickets is no longer so important.
Just after the loan came out, Chelsea Football Club significantly increased player salaries, causing Arsenal, which could have renewed the contracts of big-name stars even with loans, to fall into a financial crisis.
As a result, Kroenke, the wealthy major shareholder, was also a cold-blooded businessman. In addition, the years when Kroenke took charge of Arsenal coincided with the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis.
Everyone was in danger, and no one dared to invest at that stage, especially Americans.
As a result, he finally managed to get through, and after paying off the loan, he was fired directly.
I don’t know whether it was Wenger who had bad ideas and made wrong decisions at the turn of the era; or whether Arsenal was unlucky and met the best people in the worst of times.
In short, for a team and league, sponsorship fees and broadcast fees are the bulk of the money now, and influence and traffic will directly determine the amount of these two incomes.
At the same time, the income of the entire league and the income of each team in the entire league will directly determine the player's salary.
Only the higher the salary, the more top stars can be attracted.
The reason why Serie A is the first league is because of the gathering of stars, and now, the FA just wants to hype up Manchester United and Arsenal and use them as the signs of the Premier League [investment attraction]!
Manchester United and Arsenal are already well-known brands. One is an established giant that has won eight Premier League titles in ten years, and the other is a new powerhouse that has won the Champions League twice in three years. Plus, the Football Association of England is behind it.
For a time, not to mention the British mainland, even the underdeveloped football regions such as Dragon Kingdom, Japan, and South Korea were frantically discussing this focus battle of the third round of the Premier League!
Overwhelming!
Every day is news about Arsenal and Manchester United, and the focus of both sides is naturally Chen Mo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Just hype.
Chen Mo had seen this stuff a lot, and he still lived his leisurely days walking his dog, making babies, and practicing ball.
Unfortunately, within two days, Wenger came to the door one evening.
"I said, you guy, you came to my door now just to have a meal at my house."
In the living room, Chen Mo glanced at the clock on the wall and looked at Wenger with a strange expression.
Wenger has the habit of running at night, so there is no reason to come to his house for dinner at this time.
Feeling Chen Mo's curious gaze, Wenger coughed twice: "Ahem, um, this time we came mainly because we contacted NBA star Yao Ming. He will come to our club before the game the day after tomorrow, and I will take him with me then. Visit the club and then he'll go pitchside to watch you do pre-match training.
At that time, I hope you will bring the players to have a little interaction with him. On the one hand, we will shoot some promotional videos and so on. Anyway, we just want to use the FA's power to increase publicity in the Dragon Kingdom. Oh, thank you, Xiaoxun is still as virtuous as ever. "
"No, please don't laugh at me. Then you can chat while I go to the backyard to water the flowers."
Wenger sipped the lobster sushi served by Yueji Kaoru.
After hearing this and watching Yue Chixun leave from the back door with the puppy, Chen Mo turned around and ate his steak, raising his eyebrows strangely: "Interacting with Yao Ming? Did that guy Keli arrange it?"
The NBA and the Premier League cannot compete with each other. Although Kroenke owns shares in the Nuggets, Yao Ming is an important player in the NBA's entry into the Dragon Country market and is also one of the pillars of the Rockets. Kroenke wants to recruit Yao Ming, which is very difficult. .
Wenger nodded: "Yes, she wants to take this opportunity to further expand the influence of our Arsenal in Dragon Country."
Having said this, Wenger swallowed the lobster meat: "I know you are regulating your emotions in preparation for Manchester United, but this is not only important to you, but also important to the future of the club.
As long as we can further develop the Longguo market, there will be more shareholders following Keli on the board of directors. "
"That's it."
Wenger didn't finish his words, but Chen Mo understood what he meant. He chewed the chewy and delicious beef with thoughtful eyes.
Although he, Chen Mo, doesn't care much about shareholder matters that he doesn't understand at all, he has a close relationship with Keli after all, and he probably understands some of the situation.
Arsenal's board of directors is now mainly a three-party camp.
On one side is Usmanov, the largest shareholder, who owns more than 20% of Arsenal's shares. However, although he has money and shares, most of Arsenal's small shareholders do not like him because of the political reasons attached to his status.
The second party is Kroenke. This guy’s shares are just over 12%. Although his shares are not more than Usmanov’s, his capital is not as bad as his opponent’s, and Americans are always easier for the British to accept than Maozi. .
But his problem is that he is too cold-blooded. Now Arsenal's small shareholders can see that he wants to completely acquire Arsenal. Not only does he not invest money every year, but he also takes away millions.
However, because he has strong capital and a large number of shares, and he is not an oligarchy like Maozi, he has a sports business empire that he can control himself, and he is also the son-in-law of Wal-Mart, so he can exchange some interests, so there are still some small shareholders who are willing to follow him.
The third party is Keli.
Keli's shares are only a little over 7%.
She has few shares and her own funds are not as strong as those of Maozi oligarchs and American sports tycoons. However, she relied on the relationship between Wenger and Chen Mo to get in touch with Arsenal's vice chairman David Dunn.
David Dunn is a very important figure in Arsenal and even in the entire British football world. He has even served as Vice Chairman of the Football Association and Chairman of the European G14 League.
Moreover, this guy is very good at interpersonal relationships and knows how to make good use of people.
It was he who handed a cigarette to Wenger, who was watching a game at Highbury in 1996 and was still eating with the Whales in Nagoya, Japan, and then the two started Arsenal's golden age together.
Not only Wenger has a good relationship with him, but also the players have a good relationship with him, which is completely different from pulling a dog.
Henry described in his autobiography that he left Arsenal. One of the important reasons was because David Dunn left Arsenal at that time.
Now, with the introduction of David Dunn, many shareholders are willing to speak for Keli.
However, favors are bullshit, and interests are eternal. Only if Keli can bring more benefits to other shareholders, they will speak for Keli at the shareholders' meeting.
There is no doubt that it is a good way to make the cake bigger and dig deeper into the Dragon Kingdom market.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo swallowed the beef in his mouth, put down his knife and fork and nodded: "I understand, just send me the detailed itinerary on MMC."
"Tsk, tsk, it turns out that only that girl can persuade you."
Wenger smiled and shook his head. Chen Mo's attitude towards the game has always been very serious. Kroenke had previously planned to let Chen Mo go to the United States on a rest day in the league to interact with the Denver Nuggets players in a key game. Who would have thought that Chen Mo would not hold it in his mouth? , directly said "I don't have time".
Knowing what Wenger was laughing at, Chen Mo shrugged and joked with a smile: "Actually, it's the same if you come to me directly. What's the relationship between us? I will definitely agree to your request. The main reason is that I can't stand that guy Kroenke. , he always gives me the same feeling as Laporta."
"This is normal, the world is as dark as crows."
"Come on, my Keli is not a bad person."
".You kid."
Hearing Chen Mo's teasing, Wenger shook his head with a smile, picked up his own napkin and wiped his mouth, stood up and said: "Okay, okay, I'll just come to you today for this matter. Remember to dress up before coming to the club, don't Wearing slippers and big pants again.”
"What's wrong with slippers and big pants? You always have to change into training clothes when you get to the club. Hey! Okay, okay, I got it."
.
The influence of basketball is indeed inferior to that of football. To be precise, all the Olympic sports are tied together and cannot compete with football.
But this situation depends on national conditions.
For example, in Europe, the influence of football completely crushes basketball, but in the Dragon Country, the influence of basketball is far greater than football.
Many people may have never seen a formal football field in their lives, but the vast majority of people have shot on the field. Even if they have not shot, they have danced squarely and played Frisbee on the basketball court. , parked the car.
What does this mean?
It shows that basketball is indeed popular in Long Country, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many basketball courts.
And Yao Ming is undoubtedly the representative figure in the Dragon Country basketball world!
On one side is the pride of Dragon Kingdom basketball, and on the other is Chen Mo, the football superstar who is very close to Dragon Kingdom!
Join forces!
There is no doubt that upon learning that Yao Ming was going to London to meet Chen Mo, the entire Dragon Kingdom was completely boiling!
Football and basketball are fun for the whole family!
The expectations for Manchester United's match against Arsenal have reached a new level. There are endless reports flying all over the sky every day, and many people who don't play football and only occasionally hear the name Chen Mo are also starting to pay attention to this game. Chen Mo and Arsenal!
For a while, the discussion about Arsenal in the Dragon Kingdom completely overshadowed Manchester United!
However, Manchester United is an established giant after all, and this club has many loyal fans in the Dragon Kingdom.
Under the organization of a Ronaldo fan named Li Laoqi, Manchester United fans in Longguo also became restless. Not only did they confront Arsenal fans online, he even organized fans to buy tickets to go to London to support Ronaldo.
Of course, it’s not just Li Laoqi.
As the public opinion for this game becomes more and more intense, people from all walks of life who are interested in football and have time, such as Beyoncé in the United States, and the Chinese celebrity Wuji Brother, also want to Find ways to buy tickets before going to the game.
As public opinion from the outside world became more and more popular, the day finally came to August 22.
In the third round of the 2007-2008 Premier League season, Arsenal's focus battle against Manchester United is about to start at Arsenal's home stadium - the Emirates Stadium!
It's worse today.
Mainly a bit shaky.
I will make up for the 2K difference from today tomorrow.
