[0841 chapter] The monthly pass and the qualifying line

In August last year, Manchester United visited Lisbon and defeated their opponents 4:0 at the former home ground of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani. They won the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2007-08 season and won the first place in the European competition in the new season.

A good start.

In this round, Manchester United faced Sporting Lisbon at home in Manchester. This was the last round of the group stage. After the fifth round, Manchester United's qualifying situation in Group F had already been settled. Manchester United won five games and scored 15 points.

, locked the first place in the small football team early, and although the Roma team lost to Manchester United in two games, they still defeated the other two opponents, with 9 points allowing them to secure second place in the group and advance to the next stage of the knockout rounds.

Sporting Lisbon defeated Shakhtar Donetsk at home and drew with their opponents away from home. 4 points gave them a chance to participate in the UEFA Cup before the final round, as long as they did not lose by a big score and Shakhtar Donetsk

If they defeat Roma away from home, they can continue to participate in the UEFA Cup based on the relationship between victory and defeat.

Therefore, after arriving in Manchester, the players of Sporting Lisbon felt very relaxed and there was no tense atmosphere. Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, who came out of Sporting Lisbon, even hosted a banquet for their home team in the best restaurant in Manchester, which was widely publicized by the media.

As Manchester United's second superstar, Ronaldo's every move has attracted much attention, especially his data explosion in various competitions this season, which has further increased his popularity and influence.

Because of Gu Fei's relationship, Cristiano Ronaldo will never become Manchester United's number one superstar. Therefore, the media is very interested in when Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United. Rumors surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer are flying all over the European football world.

As the European football winter transfer window approaches, there is more and more news between Cristiano Ronaldo and European giants. Although everyone knows that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Manchester United in the winter, any European club that has a relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo will

It is a well-known and wealthy club, which is also something that the media and fans are particularly interested in.

Among them, the club that is said to have been closest to Ronaldo is undoubtedly the Galacticos II led by Florentino. According to the tycoon's "one superstar a year" policy, after the introduction of Kaká in the summer of 2007, in 2008

Real Madrid is bound to introduce another superstar!

Looking at the entire world of football, there are only a handful of players who can be called superstars. Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Yin Bu, and Rooney can all be called this level. However, Manchester United is not one of those small and medium-sized clubs. No matter how powerful Real Madrid is,

I dare not imagine that I can pack up all the superstars of Manchester United. Therefore, Ronaldo, who is unwilling to be left alone, has become the target of Real Madrid's key strategy. Florentino and Ronaldo's agents have been photographed gathering at restaurants in Madrid many times.

However, the two old foxes never admitted that their meeting was because of Ronaldo's transfer issue, but was just a gathering between friends.

Everyone believes that Ronaldo is very close to Real Madrid. After all, this is the best club of the century, and it can give Ronaldo a higher status in the team. This is undoubtedly what makes Ronaldo extremely excited. Especially for the arrogant person.

As for Ronaldo, he does not admit in his heart that he is worse than Gu Fei. After his success at Manchester United, he wants to prove to the world in other clubs that he is the best player on the planet!

Ronaldo and Real Madrid are close, and the Manchester United club is well aware of it, but it has never made any statement. It just emphasized that Ronaldo is a player of Manchester United and is not for sale. As for the future, it is left to God.

From a competitive perspective, Cristiano Ronaldo's stay in the team can indeed ensure that Manchester United will always be the best team in the world in the next few years, but football is not a cold numbers game. Simply piling up stars may not necessarily be the best.

Choice. Both Gu Fei and Ferguson know that Ronaldo can no longer be retained. The goal this season is to make Ronaldo shine and sell him at a good price.

Of course, from the perspective of Manchester United, it does not necessarily mean that Ronaldo will be sold to Real Madrid. If more competitors can be introduced, Ronaldo's transfer fee will also rise, which will be beneficial to Manchester United.

Therefore, only Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus, Bayern and other top European giants know about the news that Manchester United secretly put Ronaldo on the shelves. Despite the extremely lively hype in the media, the only ones who can really contact Manchester United are

Then there are three or five strong teams.

The competition for Cristiano Ronaldo is actually a competition for the world's number one star. When Gu Fei ascended to the throne of World Footballer with unrivaled momentum, other European clubs also tried to cultivate superstars to compete with Gu Fei, and Cristiano Ronaldo was also attracted by the outside world.

I think he is the player closest to Gu Fei.

If Ronaldo can be poached and given greater tactical freedom, Ronaldo may even become an even better superstar than he is now, which will play a vital role in changing the pattern of world football.

After Maradona, world football is in turmoil. No matter the Dutch Three Musketeers, the German Troika, the Danish Fairy Tales, the Aliens, the Gallic Rooster, the five-star Brazil and the Italian reinforced concrete army, they can't do it to the world.

Dominance in football often only lasts for a few years.

When Ronaldo led the Brazilian team to the Stade de France in the summer of 1998, people were looking forward to the birth of a new king. However, a strange coma made the aliens sleepwalk in the finals, and finally made Zidane brilliant.

bald head.

When Zidane led the French team to win the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship, people felt that a new dynasty was about to be born, and Zidane would become the third world champion! However, the French team

In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, they failed to score a point or score a single goal in the group stage.

After a humiliating exit, Zidane's halo faded overnight, and the world champion became a passing thing. At the Allianz Arena in 2006, Zidane had a chance to build a dynasty, but his irrational header ruined France's fortunes.

The Legion's dream of winning the championship eventually severed the connection between itself and the title of football champion.

The aliens Ronaldo and Zidane were once the superstars closest to the throne of football after Maradona, but they always failed at the most critical moments, and in the end they could only give up the opportunity to create history.

In the second half of the first decade of the 21st century, when the superstars of the 1976s gradually withdrew from the center stage of world football, the new generation of superstars born in 1983-87 headed by Gu Fei gradually stood on the center of the stage.

Competition will become extremely fierce in the next few years!

…………

Therefore, with two hours left before the game, tens of thousands of fans have already poured into the brand-new Old Trafford Stadium, waiting for the game to start.

Old Trafford Stadium was built in 1908 and completed in 1910. The designer was Archibald Leach from Scotland. In the 1940s, Old Trafford Stadium was in the second

During World War I, it was out of service for eight years due to repeated bombings by the Luftwaffe, and was only resumed in 1949.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Old Trafford Stadium underwent a series of renovations and added supporting facilities such as boxes and electronic scoreboards. In 2000, Manchester United expanded the Old Trafford Stadium, with the stadium capacity reaching 68,217 people.

, becoming the largest stadium in England at that time. On May 26, 2006, the capacity of Old Trafford Stadium reached approximately 76,000 people after the expansion was completed.

However, Manchester United's wonderful performance last season made every game at Old Trafford overcrowded. The 76,000 seats simply could not meet the needs of the fans. The pressure for renovation and expansion has returned to the Manchester United club.

Fortunately, when it was renovated in 2006, the Manchester United club was prepared for rainy days and reserved enough room for renovation and expansion, so the Dream Theater did not encounter any problems during the renovation and expansion project.

In fact, the Manchester United Club has already prepared Manchester United's new reconstruction and expansion project with the Manchester City Government, obtained government permission, and obtained the design and construction plans through the architectural firm. They are only waiting for the conditions to mature before they can carry out the renovation.

Expansion.

Therefore, this summer, when Manchester United is desperately making money all over the world, the renovation and expansion project of the Old Trafford Stadium is also in full swing!

For old Manchester United fans, the Theater of Dreams in front of them is both familiar and unfamiliar. Perhaps it is like Manchester United today, glowing with new vitality, but without breaking away from the spirit of the Red Devils.

In the offseason after the end of last season, in just three months, a construction company from China completed the renovation and expansion project of Old Trafford with a super speed that was beyond the comprehension of Wai Guoren, transforming the old Trafford into a new one.

The capacity of Trafford Stadium has increased from 78,000 to 88,000 today, making it the second largest stadium in England after Wembley.

When Chinese construction workers were busy working in three shifts 24 hours a day on the construction site of the Old Trafford Stadium, the whole of England was stunned!

For English workers who have long been accustomed to the eight-hour work system, various labor protections, and labor union supervision, they have even forgotten the taste of overtime, let alone rushing to work overnight, and this lasted for a full hundred days!

Every night, the brightly lit Old Trafford Stadium becomes a beautiful scenery of Manchester City, and the Chinese workers on the scaffolding are as busy as worker ants, so dedicated that the English people are frightened!

As a developed country, everyone in England cannot understand the day and night work of Chinese workers, let alone feel this perseverance. Where does this spirit come from?

Therefore, when the story of Chinese construction workers was reported by the media, people in England were amazed, shocked and even in disbelief. The union even sent representatives to the construction site to intervene, believing that Chinese construction companies despised human rights, etc., but they still could not change it.

24-hour construction work at Old Trafford.

After 100 days of hard work, 6,000 Huaxia construction workers from Huaxia Construction Group successfully completed the reconstruction and expansion project of the Old Trafford Stadium. They also renovated the entire stadium and replaced various software and hardware facilities, allowing

It became the most advanced super stadium in the world!

When Manchester United fans poured into the new Dream Theater, they couldn't believe their eyes. Now it can be called the real "Dream Theater"!

…………

As the most popular high-level club competition in the world, the start of the Champions League means a huge flow of funds, and more and more financial groups have begun to pay attention to this event.

It is difficult to say whether the 'Universal Investment', 'Nanxun Consortium' and the 'UAE Consortium' chose to enter the football field because of the huge profits from the Champions League. After all, after the funds flow, the benefits are that if the profits on paper cannot be shown

of.

Take Manchester United last season as an example. They won all six games in the group stage and received about 6 million euros in revenue. For many small and medium-sized clubs, this is even the entire year's budget.

In the quarter-finals, Manchester United won two games, and the total appearance fees and bonuses reached 3.2 million euros. In the subsequent quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals, Manchester United won, and the bonuses also increased. Only in Europe

From the Football Association's bonus distribution, Manchester United received about 23.6 million euros in revenue last season.

In addition, as the most popular football club in the world, Manchester United received the largest broadcast promotion in the Champions League broadcast last season. The TV broadcast share and sponsor share also made Manchester United a huge profit.

Manchester United received 50 million euros from the Champions League-related income alone, and this is only the apparent income. The potential increase in the club's brand influence and brand value premium are immeasurable.

This season, because of Manchester United's strength, Manchester United has already received more than 30 million pounds in revenue from UEFA, broadcasters and sponsors before the six games of the group stage have even started. It can be obtained in almost every game.

Five million pounds!

In this case, the three to four million pounds gained from selling tickets for home games is just a small amount of money. After all, Manchester United only has three home games in the Champions League group stage.

When the agreement between Manchester United and UEFA, sponsors and broadcasters was exposed, all the major giants could only express envy, jealousy and hatred, wishing they could replace it, but they were unable to influence Manchester United to reap all kinds of benefits!

In previous years, the biggest winner of the UEFA Champions League was AC Milan, which had won three UEFA Champions League trophies in five years and maintained a very high competitive level in the UEFA Champions League. They often received the greatest exposure and the highest broadcast share.

Today, Manchester United has conquered its opponents and sponsors with its offensive football and has become the most dazzling super team in the Champions League.

The UEFA Champions League group stage of the 2007-08 season entered the final round. When Ferguson announced the substitute lineup one day in advance, Manchester United had already won the victory. Manchester United's dominance of world football had lasted for more than a year.

The players of Sporting Lisbon lost their way in the boos of nearly 90,000 Manchester United fans. In just five minutes of the opening, they were unreasonably broken by Cristiano Ronaldo and hit the target with a powerful shot. Then, Aguero and others' outstanding performance

Performance, let the outside world know that Manchester United's bench is not a vegetarian.

When the game ended, the electronic scoreboard showed a clear score of 5:0, and thunderous applause erupted from the scene. Manchester United had won the Champions League group stage for the second consecutive season!
