Chapter 27 The much-anticipated final

The final is scheduled for the last day of July.

However, a little accident happened.

Because the fans were too enthusiastic, many fans who did not buy tickets for the final hoped to change the venue of the final. After all, the Fusele Stadium of Union Berlin can only accommodate more than 2 people.

"Master Edward, I think we should build a whole new stadium." Philip Jennings suggested.

"I will definitely start this matter, and I have to apply for a stadium site. It will be troublesome if you think about it."

"Don't worry about the land issue. Hoffman Construction Company has some land that has not been put into use. You just need to go to the city hall to apply for a change in the way of use."

The future has been settled, but there is still the issue of the final venue, because the summer transfer period only has one event, the "Free Berlin Cup", and the enthusiasm of the fans is all poured into this cup with many giants participating. In the semi-finals Some foreign fans who didn't get tickets protested. Now that it's the finals, their protests are even louder.

The German Ministry of Tourism has also specifically talked to Edward, hoping that he can try his best to let these fans stay for a while. Recently, the number of fans traveling abroad has surged, and Germany’s tourism income has risen sharply. If these fans leave because of ticket issues, it will Reduce a lot of tourism income.

Even if the stadium is changed, there is no way to accommodate the more than 10 fans who have entered the country, but the venue for the finals still has to be changed. The capacity of the Fusele Stadium seems too shabby.

When it comes to borrowing stadiums, there are too many options.

Tickets are cheap in Germany. In order to meet the needs of fans to watch the game live, the capacity of the stadium is generally not small.In addition, Germany bid to host the 2006 World Cup, and many stadiums have been expanded. It is not a big problem to find a stadium to rent. The key is how to choose.

The first choice must be the local Olympic Stadium in Berlin, which is the home of the arch-rival in the same city. This stadium with a strong atmosphere of the head of state has hosted many competitions, such as the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the 1974 World Cup, music festivals, polo, etc. Activities are not a problem. Before the Allies withdrew in 1994, the British army held a grand National Day event every year in May Square in front of the Olympic Stadium.

In 1998, the citizens of Berlin sparked a debate over the abolition of the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Some argued that it should be demolished and rebuilt, while others argued that the stadium itself was not a symbol of Nacui and advocated its retention.The authorities finally decided to retain and renovate the venue, and the FIFA also selected this venue as one of the venues for the 2006 World Cup.

Although the Berlin Olympic Stadium is still being expanded, it is still available and will be used when Hertha Berlin plays.

When Admiral Edward asked, the CEO of Union Berlin refused after thinking about it.The reason is simple, they don't want other teams playing their home games at the Olympic Stadium.

"These dogs!"

Hearing this is perfunctory, because Edward has thought of everything, even if he said to pay Hertha Berlin, he rejected his proposal, and he didn't even listen to the price, which is very interesting in itself.

The other party must have felt threatened because the influence of the Union of Berlin continued to spread.

In the past, there was only Hertha Berlin, a barely capable team in Berlin, but since Edward took over, Union Berlin's influence has soared rapidly, and even some foreign fans only know that Berlin has a team called Union Berlin!
In desperation, Edward only had to think of other ways.

In the summer, because the relationship between Neuer's trade and Schalke 04 was very good, Edward was the first to make their idea. After Edward promised to give 30 euros in venue usage fees, Schalke 04 was very happy complied with his request.

The Schalke Stadium has a capacity of 6, which is 6 less than the Berlin Olympic Stadium.In fact, Edward's first thought was to rent Westfalen, Dortmund's home stadium. Dortmund's home stadium can accommodate nearly 9 people, but sometimes it is difficult to simply choose the right thing and ignore the world. Stefalen's claim will definitely offend Dortmund's rival Schalke 8, so that the only team in the Bundesliga that has goodwill towards Union Berlin will also be offended, so in the end Edward chose to go to the Schalke Stadium proudly.

On July 7, Edward stepped into the Schalke Stadium for the first time and was deeply shocked by it. He has always heard about this first-class stadium in Europe, but he did not expect it to be so majestic.

The final was scheduled for the night, and before we arrived at the stadium, we could see Aofu Schalke quietly exuding its brilliance at night from a distance, and everything around us would be ignored.

Edward has a strong urge to build a stadium for Union Berlin that won't lose to Schalke.

When he got to the box, he hadn't recovered yet.

"Master Edward, all the guests at the opening show will be backstage later, do you want to go and have a look?"

asked Philip Jennings, bowing.

"Ah, forget it."

Edward, who recovered his senses, refused, saying that Florentino will arrive later, as the host, he has to stay and greet him. In addition to the chairman of Real Madrid, he also invited German "Football Emperor" Beckenbauer and "Bomber" Ged Muller, it's more important to greet the big guys than go backstage to satisfy your curiosity about singers.

As long as Beckenbauer's approval can be obtained, the development of Union Berlin will be much easier.

"Hey, Edward, you're so early."

"Good evening, Perez." Edward and Florentino hugged each other, but he didn't go back and sit down.

"I heard that reporters from 70 countries came to the scene today? This is crazy. It reminds me of the Champions League. I never thought that a warm-up match would have such a big impact."

"Then you can let Real Madrid continue to participate in the 'Free Berlin Cup' next year, this cup is held every year."

Edward said with a smile.

"If you have time, why not?" Florentino thought it was a good proposal, but he still didn't say it to death, because he was planning to expand the influence of Real Madrid in the world. I'm going on a trip to Asia.

The broadcast camera was always facing Edward's box, but because Edward was at the door, he could not be captured. Later, when Edward of Beckenbauer and Muller and the two legends of German football were seated, the director was keen. Switched seats.

"My God, he's so young!"

"Even though I read it many times in the newspapers, I never thought that such a child would be one of the richest people in Germany in the future. He looks like Beckenbauer's grandson..."

This is not a curse, Edward has shown enough respect in front of football legends.

Even though he is rich, he is still full of respect for those who can reach the pinnacle in their field. Money is very important, but there are many things in this world that are more important than money.

At 6:30 p.m., Britney Spears reappears at the pre-match performance of the Free Berlin Cup…
