[0734 Chapter] Revisiting the old place and the monthly pass

Lisbon (Portuguese: Lisboa) is the capital of the southern European country Portugal. It is located at the mouth of the Tejo River in the Iberian Peninsula and borders the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It is a typical maritime city and the westernmost capital of the European continent. In the 16th century during the Age of Discovery,

Lisbon was one of the most prosperous ports in Europe at the time.

In 1256, Lisbon officially became the capital of Portugal and has since developed into an important trading city in Europe and the Mediterranean. During the Age of Discovery, many navigators such as Vasco da Gama set out from Lisbon to different places in the world.

Therefore, the 16th century was Lisbon's most glorious period. A large amount of gold was shipped to Lisbon from Brazil, the Portuguese colony at the time, making Lisbon the richest commercial center in Europe.

Lisbon is the richest region in Portugal. The region's per capita GDP is much higher than the European Union's average per capita GDP. The region's GDP accounts for 45% of the entire Portugal. Lisbon's economy is mainly supported by the service industry; and Lisbon's developed industry

level, which also allows this place to still maintain strong economic vitality after entering the 21st century.

The south bank of the Tejo River has become an important industrial center in Portugal. Its main industries include shipbuilding, cement, steel, plastics, cork, textiles, papermaking and food processing. Lisbon's shipbuilding industry is world-famous and can manufacture various types of ships with a capacity of 300,000 to 700,000 tons.

oil tankers. It also has the largest dry dock in Europe, which can repair large oil tankers with a capacity of 1 million tons. The annual ship repair volume accounts for 1/9 of the world's total ship repair volume.

The rich heritage and growing economy allow Lisbon's local capital and residents to have more funds to support the development of the football industry. It is also the central area of ​​Portuguese football and an important city that transports top stars to Europe's top leagues.

The powerful teams of the Portuguese Super League, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, are both rooted in Lisbon. They are not only the top three in Portuguese football, but also an important talent training base for European football.

Take Benfica as an example. Its glorious history has allowed it to represent Portuguese football for a long time. As the second team to win the Champions League, the Portuguese Eagles have strong confidence.

In the 1960-1961 season, Black Panther Eusebio led Benfica to victory in the European Champions Cup, ending Real Madrid's five consecutive Champions League titles, heralding the birth of a new European powerhouse. In the following season,

In the second season, Eusebio's Benfica defeated Real Madrid in a head-on manner and successfully defended their title!

In the long years that followed, Benfica reached the finals of the Champions League five times, but failed to win the championship in the end. However, with a total of 7 Champions League finals experience, only Real Madrid and AC Milan are ahead of it.

Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich also has seven finals.

In a sense, the Portuguese Eagles are the founders of Portuguese football. From this team came international superstars such as Eusebio and Rui Costa. Even though Benfica is slightly in decline today, but every year

It can still export many powerful players to the five major European leagues and occupy a place in the map of European football.

Sporting Lisbon, which produced Cristiano Ronaldo, was founded in 1904 and has a history of more than a century. This is a common occurrence in European football.

Counting the honors in the history of Sporting Lisbon, the 1964 European Cup Winners' Cup is one of the only highlights. As for the 17 Portuguese top league championships, they pale in comparison to Porto's 22 championships and Benfica's 31 championship trophies.

Clumsy.

However, in recent years, Sporting Lisbon has trained superstars such as Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo, and its youth training level has been recognized by the entire European football world. This summer, Nani also transferred to Manchester United for 15 million pounds and became a

The latest product from Sporting Lisbon’s youth academy.

This time, Manchester United visited Lisbon. In addition to Ronaldo, who started the game, and who was the focus of everyone's attention, Nani, who was sitting on the bench, also became the focus of the media and fans.

This is the first time that these two young talents have visited the Alvalade Stadium as visiting team players after leaving Sporting Lisbon. What kind of performance they will have is a hot topic.

This UEFA Champions League group match is also the first appearance of the defending champion Manchester United in the Champions League this season. Everyone is curious whether this team can maintain the momentum of last season, where the gods blocked the gods and the Buddha blocked the Buddha.

Since the start of this season, Manchester United has successively won the European Super Cup and the English Community Shield, and created a perfect start with 6 consecutive wins in the Premier League. The state is as perfect as ever.

Therefore, when Sporting Lisbon, the third-tier team in the Champions League, played Manchester United at home, the home team was not favored by the outside world.

…………

The 'Fei Peng' landed at Lisbon Portela International Airport. In the departure hall, a large number of media reporters and fans were already looking forward to it. They all hoped to see Manchester United's superstars as soon as possible.

When Manchester United came out of the tunnel, the scene became extremely lively, with fans waving various Manchester United flags and shouting the names of stars such as "Gu Fei" and "Cristiano Ronaldo".

The media reporters at the scene faithfully recorded the scene of Manchester United walking out of the airport and witnessed Manchester United's extremely high popularity.

Since Manchester United swept across Europe last season, the number of fans around the world has increased sharply. More and more fans have been conquered by Manchester United's thunderous offensive football and become Red Devils fans. And Gu Fei has been in the world of sports in recent years.

His jaw-dropping performances have made his fans spread all over the world, and he has enthusiastic supporters wherever he goes.

Because of the connection between Gu Fei and Manchester United, more and more fans of Gu Fei have become fans of Manchester United. This is a great boost to the global promotion strategy of Manchester United.

According to the evaluation of some professional financial institutions, after Gu Fei acquired Manchester United, the rapid increase in Manchester United's market value has exceeded the improvement pattern of ordinary football clubs. The combination between Gu Fei, a superstar, and Manchester United, a wealthy team, has achieved

The effect of 1+1>2.

Today, Manchester United's market value has exceeded 800 million pounds, an increase of nearly 300 million pounds compared with last year when Gu Fei first took over. The revenue and profit exceeded 100 million pounds. Gu Fei's investment was paid back in just one year.

This is an amazingly successful investment.

Gu Fei's ranking on the Forbes rich list continues to rise, and Manchester United has played a role in it. It has become a model work of Gu Fei's "Global Investment" foreign investment. Although it is not large in size, it has a huge reputation.

It is precisely because of Manchester United's successful investment that more and more capital has noticed the investment benefits of the football industry. New capital has continued to join the ranks of investing in the football industry. Today's European football has shown a scene of simmering fire.

This summer, the Abu Dhabi consortium took over the Manchester City club and invested a huge amount of 200 million pounds in the transfer market, making Blue Moon a strong contender for the top four in the Premier League.

Since the start of the new season, although Manchester City is at a disadvantage in the city derby with Manchester United, Ronaldinho's leading frontcourt attack group has not performed poorly in the Premier League. The record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in six rounds has allowed Manchester City to enter the European competition circle.

, This is in sharp contrast to the situation of barely avoiding relegation last season.

If Manchester City can carve its own path in the fierce competition in the Premier League this season, there will surely be more capital to join the ranks of the Premier League and even European football next summer, and it will become more lively by then.

…………

The scene of Manchester United's popularity at Lisbon International Airport was broadcast to the whole world through the lens of media reporters. People in the industry were amazed by the huge charm of Manchester United or Gu Fei, and the idea of ​​replacing it emerged in everyone's mind.

The arrival of Manchester United has allowed Lisbon to officially enter the Champions League. Compared with Manchester United, which has a strong army and many experts, Sporting Lisbon, which has long been reduced to a star factory for the five major European leagues, seems to have a much dimmed star.

However, even so, Lisbon is still full of energy and wants to have a good performance in the game against Manchester United. After all, in such a globally focused game, as long as there is performance, it will immediately enter the vision of European giants.

His worth has skyrocketed, and he has landed in Europe's top leagues just like Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.

In addition to Sporting Lisbon's eagerness to beat Manchester United on the green field to win respect, everyone at Sporting Lisbon is preparing for the upcoming game. After all, it involves the flow of millions of pounds of funds. It is Sporting Lisbon's capital.

One of the most important games of the season.

In the past few years, Sporting Lisbon's competitive performance has not been outstanding due to the suppression of Porto and Benfica. If it were not for the emergence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, Sporting Lisbon's situation would have been even more difficult.

This time, Sporting Lisbon encountered Manchester United in the Champions League group stage, which can be described as a mixture of sorrow and joy.

Sadly, the encounter with Manchester United may cause Sporting Lisbon to fail in the group stage and have no chance of advancing to the knockout rounds; happily, the two games against Manchester United will allow Sporting Lisbon to stand at the center of the global stage, especially

The home game against Manchester United may bring huge revenue to Sporting Lisbon.

The Alvalade Stadium, home of Sporting Lisbon, can accommodate 52,000 fans. It is also the largest stadium in Portugal. As a UEFA five-star stadium, this stadium has hosted important events such as the Champions League final. In 2004, Portugal

During the European Championships, there was also a semi-final between Portugal and the Netherlands. In the end, the afterglow of the golden generation allowed Portugal to have the last laugh and reach the final.

In Lisbon, due to the suppression of Benfica, Sporting Lisbon's share of the Lisbon football market is not high. The 52,000-seat home stadium Alvalade is rarely full, and in order to take care of ordinary fans, the price of the tickets is not high.

It’s expensive, the average price is only 30 euros.

This time, Sporting Lisbon welcomed the star-studded Manchester United. Tickets with an average price of nearly 60 euros were sold out within one day of going on sale, allowing Sporting Lisbon to earn 3 million euros overnight.

In addition, TV broadcasters, sponsors and UEFA have all increased Sporting Lisbon's share of the game, and the club is expected to receive nearly 4 million euros in revenue.

Just from one UEFA Champions League group match, Sporting Lisbon can obtain the income of 5 games in ordinary games. It cannot be overstated how much the club attaches importance to this game.

…………

When Manchester United comes to Lisbon, the Cayman Hotel has already prepared the best floors and rooms for the Manchester United soldiers, so that they can feel at home here.

In recent years, Caiman Hotels has followed Gu Fei's footsteps and achieved large-scale expansion around the world. With the help of Gu Fei's fame and influence, Caiman Hotels has been prospering. For this reason, Caiman Hotels Group even did not hesitate to sell Caiman Hotels in the Huaxia region.

Hotel Man has conducted in-depth cooperation with Gu Fei, turning Gu Fei from a spokesperson into a partner.

Facts have proved that Caiman Hotel Group has made a good move. The number of stores, passenger flow, occupancy rates and profits of Caiman Hotels around the world have all been visible to the naked eye. It is moving from an ordinary five-star hotel chain to a high-end one.

The goal of becoming a five-star hotel is moving steadily forward.

The success of Caiman Hotel has become another strong evidence of Gu Fei's huge commercial influence. More and more brands are no longer limited to Gu Fei's positioning as a spokesperson.

…………

When Gu Fei led Manchester United to Lisbon, the major European football giants also officially entered the countdown to preparations for the Champions League group stage. Everyone hopes to get a good start in the new season of the Champions League and establish a smooth sailing for the season.

Manchester United's mortal rival Liverpool arrived in Porto, which makes it difficult not to think that this is a deliberate arrangement by UEFA. UEFA probably has the same level as the NBA in terms of various hypes about game elements.

Chelsea is relatively relaxed. It faces Rosenborg at Stamford Bridge. This is an easy game. Mourinho's team will not capsize in the gutter under such circumstances.

As for Arsenal, another participating team in the Premier League, they will face Sevilla, the strongest opponent in this group, at Highbury. This will affect the ranking of first and second in the group, even for Professor Wenger.

Don't dare to be careless in the slightest.

Watching the Premier League's top players actively preparing for the Champions League, Manchester City's big-name stars feel a little uncomfortable. After all, it is undoubtedly sad to act as spectators at this time.

A feeling called "humiliation" spread among Ronaldinho and others. In order to prove to the outside world that he is not a "mercenary" who regards money as his life, Ronaldinho secretly made up his mind to lead the team into the Premier League this season.

The top four compete for Champions League qualification.

Little did the top four of the Premier League know that the upcoming UEFA Champions League group stage would give Manchester City a great stimulus, allowing this makeshift team to have a common goal. Their ideological transformation would even lead to

It may become the biggest variable in the Premier League situation this season.

As the curtain of the Champions League slowly opens, European football begins to get better. For fans, visual feasts are about to be staged. After a few months, fans can finally enjoy the purest form of football.

of happiness!
