I'm a striker

Chapter 363
Like playing Liverpool, Arsenal came to Manchester one day earlier.

During the preparation time in the past few days, Wenger has also repeatedly warned the players to fight for Manchester City as a whole.

It is necessary to separate every part of Manchester City and give full play to Arsenal's own greatest advantages and characteristics, so as to win the game.

The Etihad Stadium, in fact, this stadium is far less famous than Manchester City's previous home.

"Really? So there is such a story." Song Rentou also listened to veteran Rosicky's popular science with great interest.

After arriving in Manchester City, the Arsenal players also had dinner, while the veteran Rosicky popularized the knowledge of the Premier League to Song Rentou and Giroud.

"Isn't that right? Even those of us who don't understand economics know how stupid the former Manchester City executives are." Wilshere also sighed, "But fortunately, if they are not stupid, it really makes them If it develops like that, it is really possible for Manchester City to forge a second dynasty in Manchester."

Song Rentou nodded.

Rosicky told Song Rentou that Manchester City's home court was called Maine Road in the past, and perhaps many new fans do not know this stadium.

But this stadium is indeed very famous.

Maine Road, formerly Manchester City's home ground, is known as North Wembley.

Although the stadium is old and lacks maintenance, what you need to know is that the Maine Road Stadium at that time could accommodate 8 people, and the nearby land was owned by Manchester City Club!
Why did Arsenal spend so much on building the Emirates Stadium?A large part is to use money to buy land.

However, the executives of the Manchester City Club at that time were eager for quick success. In order to ensure the development of Manchester City, they sold the Maine Road Stadium and its surrounding land. Their reason was that there were slums near the Maine Road Stadium and there was no development value.

But how did they know that there are slums near the Maine Road Stadium, and such fans are the real die-hards!

Moreover, the area around the Main Road Stadium back then has already been fully developed. If Manchester City hadn’t sold that piece of land back then, with the financial resources of the local tyrants in the United Arab Emirates, they would have built a new North Vancouver on such a huge piece of land. Bully Stadium is definitely a matter of seconds!

Today's land price, how can it be compared with ten years ago?

"But it's ridiculous. The former executives of Manchester City have always believed that it was right to sell the land and lease the city stadium... What a pity, otherwise a modern new stadium that can hold 10 people, really It's scary." Wilshere also said with emotion.

Song Rentou continued to nod.

What is the most important thing for a team?
Own your own home!

In fact, Manchester City's popularity in Manchester is not low. Even when their performance was worst, the former Maine Road Stadium was almost full!

However, they were short-sighted and sold their team's long-term development land for short-term benefits.

Why did Serie A fall?
The big reason is that many teams in Italy do not have their own home courts! !

Italy's taxation is quite terrible, and the ticket money that Italian teams can really earn is very little.

Why did Wenger decide to build a new stadium when Arsenal was booming?
No matter how heavy the debt is, as long as it can be paid off, what Wenger has done is definitely a good thing that does not look very good now, and future generations will benefit from it for a hundred years.

How can football, especially this kind of league, compare to a single season?

Many fans claim to know the football masters and always think that if a giant does not win the championship this season, it is a failure, but they don't understand the club's operation and development at all.

If Manchester City can retain the land of the Maine Road Stadium, even if it is demolished and rebuilt, this North Wembley Stadium is definitely enough for them to build a real giant with Abu Dhabi's financial resources in the next few decades.

Why did it take so long for Juventus to start slowly recovering after Calciopoli?
The reason is very simple, because the club has its own home stadium, it is not a concept at all
This is the real home field!
Most of the proceeds from the tickets will go to the club.

Take Arsenal’s finances as an example. After repaying debts, the club maintains a very high profitability every year. For such a club, even if the shareholders take away most of the dividends, they can still leave a lot of sustainable development for the club. !

Don't underestimate the real heritage of the rich.

"However...they will definitely have their own new home in the future, but the price will definitely be high." Rosicky finally said.

Indeed, if the local tyrants in the UAE want to play for a long time, their own modern home court is essential.

Why are Wenger and Ferguson so good?
You must know that after Wenger decided to build the Emirates Stadium, the club was unable to give him real support for a long time, and relying on limited resources, Arsenal still guaranteed to enter the Champions League every season and get a lot of dividends from the Champions League.

Ferguson's Manchester United, many Manchester United won the championship season, Manchester United's lineup is definitely not the strongest in the season, Ferguson has been saving for Manchester United, the Glazer family cannot take away all the dividends of Manchester United, Ferguson must leave it to his successor. Wealth that can be developed.

Giants are built brick by brick.

Clubs rely on tickets, jerseys, peripherals, broadcast fees, and sponsorship fees to survive, and the stronger the giants, the more cakes they can get.

The timing of the emergence of Manchester City is a good thing and a bad thing for the Premier League.

The bad thing is that Manchester City has broken the long-term monopoly of the top four in the Premier League. The good thing is that Manchester City has broken such a monopoly, making the competition in the Premier League more intense.

Now this Manchester City team is really strong, so strong that even Real Madrid and Barcelona dare not look directly at it.

But in some respects they are weak.

The foundation is not enough, and the team is lacking in running-in. The club has strong new players every year, but it also needs to run-in again every year.

After the players had dinner and chatted, Wenger also returned from the press conference.

The Italians are not very good at talking and talking, so the pre-match press conferences between Manchester City and Arsenal seemed tepid.

But people also felt an unprecedented sense of urgency from it.

Everyone knows Wenger's heart.

After Arsenal introduced Song Rentou, their performance this season has to be fearless and strong, and now they still occupy the top position in the Premier League.

In the match against Manchester City, if Arsenal draw, they are very likely to be overtaken by Manchester United and Chelsea behind them. If they lose, the top spot will definitely be handed over to Manchester City.

Therefore, the media on Fleet Street in the UK also played the gimmick of the top battle.

In such a game, no one would say that they voluntarily give up.

Manchester City will not, and Arsenal will not.

For Mancini's Manchester City, it can be said that failing to win the championship is almost tantamount to failure. The Italian's frustration in the Champions League has already put him under pressure.

Fortunately, the local tyrants in the UAE gave the coach enough time, which can also be seen that these local tyrants really want to play football.

Football cannot be eager for quick success, only long-term and orderly development can allow the team to gain more in the future.

Momentary competition, momentary winning or losing cannot determine the future of a team.

Of course, that being said, Mancini knew that he absolutely couldn't afford to lose this game against Arsenal.

The League Cup and the second round of the Champions League are imminent. The situation of Manchester City, which is deeply trapped in the death group, is not good. The Galactic Fleet Real Madrid and the Hornet Dortmund are all tough bones. Ajax in the Eredivisie has also done a good job in youth training in recent years very good.

Mancini has endured enough pressure in the European war, and now if Manchester City lose in the league, it is equivalent to losing six points.

While Arsenal added three points, they took three points less!
It is impossible to accept a draw, because this is Blue Moon's own home court. With the rise of Manchester City in recent years, many Manchester City fans have also changed from the status of "poor people" who were used to the team's elevators to "local tyrants".Every year the club welcomes new stars.

Therefore, the appetite of Manchester City fans will also be slowly raised.

In the past, they could accept the FA Cup and League Cup titles, but now they can't let go of the Premier League title and the Champions League title.

Humans are like that, always asking for more and more.

In contrast, Wenger did not have such a great pressure. Arsenal shouted to compete for the championship, but in their hearts the players also longed for the long-awaited Premier League championship, but Arsenal fans would not have such high expectations. request.

They know that the team's goal is the championship, but there is no shame in losing to Manchester City. Has Arsenal been beaten less often in recent years?
As long as the team plays well and Song Rentou continues to maintain his state, Arsenal fans will be satisfied.

Although Arsenal's board of directors have invested a lot, the rich sponsors in China have already smashed them with RMB.

So Wenger is very relaxed, it is normal to lose, and it is profitable to win.

Arsenal themselves have a very good mentality, and this mentality will be of great help to tomorrow's game.

In fact, there is another kind of mentality on the football field that is also terrible, such as Manchester United.

Many times, Manchester United players themselves admit that they think they have lost, but as long as they see Ferguson calm and composed on the sidelines, they will be full of confidence.

Ferguson's aura is too terrifying. Any opponent who hears that Manchester United has a poor lineup and is not at the peak will not dare to underestimate them.

One is to improve one's self-confidence, and the other is to relax the mind. These two mentalities have the same effect, that is, they can allow players to play freely.

Of course, if Arsenal can keep winning, Wenger will feel the pressure.

The night before the start of the game, Song Rentou received another text message from Jovetic: Tomorrow I will let you see my progress, Song.

Song Ren replied with a smile: After OK, he looked up at the night sky of Manchester outside the window. The highly industrialized Manchester is similar to the foggy London.

In La Coruña, Song Rentou can see many stars as soon as he looks up. Sometimes when the weather is better, Song Rentou often goes to see those constellations and the Big Dipper.

But in the UK, this is impossible.

This is where the industrial revolution began, and Manchester is an important industrial and economic center in the UK.

Since coming to England, Song Rentou also felt more and more that he was about to break through again.

Because of the rhythm and competition here, Song Rentou was excited and excited like never before.

"I don't know if we can break through again tomorrow." Song Ren thought to himself.
