Chapter 381 Still Chief?

Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott, two young players, were drenched in sweat after the game and were called away by coach Morris before returning to the dressing room.

During the game, the two are in different positions, so there is not much intersection.However, they think that they have performed very well and will not be reprimanded by their superiors.

It's just that the two of them are still very young after all, and they are a little nervous without knowing what happened.

As the two most shining new stars in the Southampton youth training team and teammates for many years, the two are very familiar with each other, but they can see confusion in each other's eyes when they look at each other.

Not knowing what happened, they had no choice but to follow the head coach into the office.

Then they saw their parents talking excitedly to themselves: "Arsenal", "Youth Training", "Opportunity"....

With their parents making the decisions, it is naturally not their turn to make any choices for them who are still underage.

But after reacting, they also knew what it meant to be called by the head coach today.

Arsenal!
Arsenal, now one of England's most successful clubs, want them.

What else can I say, of course I want to join.

Looking at the twinkling eyes of the two young players, coach Morris sighed.He knew that the young Southampton was destined not to be able to keep these two talented players.When they first joined Southampton, Morris was sure that top clubs would come to Southampton to poach them in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that Arsenal moved so fast!
You must know that none of them have played any official games yet!
Thinking of this, Morris also admires Arsenal's scouting system, which is indeed a giant club that can always stand in England's top league.

Compared with them, Southampton still has a long way to go.

Southampton only changed to a new stadium in the past two years, but this new stadium cannot be compared with Arsenal's Highbury.

While Southampton was advancing, Arsenal did not rest, and the gap between the two teams could only grow wider.

Morris finally reluctantly signed a contract with Arsenal scouts.

Because the two young players are not yet 16 years old, according to the regulations of the FA, in fact, English clubs are not allowed to recruit local players who are more than 16 miles away from the club before the age of 200.

Foreign players can join the club's youth training at will, but local players are not allowed to do so.

This regulation of the FA is mainly to limit the growth of a wealthy team.Although Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona are superior, La Liga is generally not as popular as the Premier League.

The best players in all of Spain have been poached to the Castilla training center and La Masia football school. How can the rest of the clubs compete with them?
At the beginning of the new century, Valencia, Deportivo and other Spanish teams challenged the top two from time to time.In the long run, the gap between Spain's lower teams and the two top teams will only become wider and wider, and they will never be able to surpass them in the end.

Because of this FA regulation, Arsenal cannot directly recruit two players into the team.

They need to spend their 16th birthday before they can officially become Arsenal players.

So in the near future, they can only stay in Southampton instead of Arsenal.

But rules are dead, people are alive.

As long as Arsenal give Southampton a favor fee as compensation, they can leave now.

This is one of the reasons why they did not contact the parents of the two young players first.Otherwise, if Southampton really wants to pursue it, it will actually be very troublesome.

Two players who can be called talents, but there is no real regular game to test them, and there is no time for them to grow rapidly.

Therefore, even if they can grow to the level of Ronaldo and Beckham in the future, Southampton can only accept a training fee of 50 pounds as compensation.

Soon the news of two young players leaving Southampton to join Arsenal spread throughout the youth team.

As one of the most famous youth training bases in England, Southampton has always been the place where the major giants teams stay and defend.But because of this, the major clubs will be more cautious when selecting players in Southampton, so as not to lower their evaluation in the team due to recommendation errors.

But these two players were called by Shao Bo himself. The scouts only need to negotiate a good price with Southampton, and it is enough to convince the two players.

After the news came out, the players who were still in Southampton were naturally very envious of the two of them.Of course, there are also players like Lallana who stay in Southampton wholeheartedly and dedicate their lives to their favorite team.

Although they are not in the same age group, he joined Southampton at the age of seven. Chamberlain, who is now 11 years old, is also very envious of the two seniors.

Unlike Lallana, Chamberlain, who has an England international father, hopes to join a wealthy family since he was a child, and he also hopes that Arsenal can pick him.

However, Chamberlain, who is still young, is not within the scope of Shao Bo's consideration. Maybe in a few years, he will enter Shao Bo's list.

Just like his two seniors, like Wilshere who is still in the Arsenal youth team, they can only be used as future reserves, and they are not useful now.

It is also because of this that Shao Bo does not pay enough attention to them now.These things about poaching players are also handed over to professional scouts instead of going there by yourself.

At present, Arsenal's new stadium is about to be officially opened. Shao Bo has a lot of things that he needs to be responsible for himself. How can he have time to manage youth players?
It took several years and hundreds of millions of dollars for Arsenal's new stadium to be built - Southampton raised more than 3000 million pounds to build a new stadium, and in the end Arsenal raised more than one billion dollars in financing to build a new stadium!
Of course, this is not just for the cost of building a new stadium with a capacity of up to [-] fans. It also includes the demolition and renovation work of Highbury, and for the new stadium, the club promised to invest in the construction of a new subway station for the London City Hall.

In the 30s, a subway company used to rename the nearby subway station to Arsenal in order to take advantage of Arsenal's reputation without paying the club a penny.

Because of the soaring land prices in London today, even if it is to renovate the construction of subway stations and roads, it is not enough to just spend a sum of money.

Watching the workers in England going on strike from time to time and asking for higher pay from time to time, Shao Bo hated his teeth itching.

He can't wait to bring a group of compatriots directly from China, and tell these lazy guys what a role model for workers in the new era of socialism is!
Of course, because the design capacity of 1 people is more than that of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal also spent more when buying land than in the past.

In addition, because of the board's ambitions, they plan to build a small commercial plaza outside the stadium, which is also a lot of money.

After Shao Bo finally completed the calculation, in addition to the land and materials, the cost of labor also exceeded tens of millions of pounds!

How many players have to be sold, or how much the ticket price has to be raised to earn back!
But despite the difficulties, the stadium was built.

Arsenal are now much more profitable than Shao Bo remembered, but they also spend a lot more.The debts that Shao Bo assumed at the beginning could not meet the needs of the club at all.

Fortunately, the debt pressure is not too great, and as long as it lasts for a few more years, Shao Bo's financial pressure will be greatly reduced.

He does not need to rely on selling key players to maintain financial health.

This will ensure that Arsenal has always had the sharpest competitiveness and has always been at the forefront of Europe!
The new stadium has been built, but it has not been unveiled to the world.

There are a lot of declassifications, and leakers have revealed some news about Arsenal's new stadium from time to time on the Internet and in the newspapers, arousing the curiosity of readers.

But the club just kept silent and never made a formal response.

The only thing everyone can be sure of is that according to Arsenal's official website, their new stadium will hold a friendly match in mid-July as a meeting ceremony between the new stadium and Arsenal fans all over the world.

Arsenal fans have been waiting for this for an unknown number of days.Finally, when the day came, the fans walked into the square in order with the tickets they had grabbed in advance.

Arsenal's square is built around the new stadium. When the stadium was built in the past, the club built a fence around it to prevent the interior from being leaked in advance.

Of course, there are limits, and disclosures in batches and batches are necessary.For a stadium, the club has taken such painstaking efforts, no doubt to increase the sense of mystery and arouse the curiosity of the fans.

The same applies to marketing in football.

All friendly match tickets this time can only be purchased online. Of course, like all Arsenal match tickets in the past, you must have an Arsenal membership to be able to purchase tickets for this match.

When fans choose seats online, they also know the general structure of the stadium by the way.These mysteries, which seem to be only separated by a veil, have made fans look forward to Arsenal's new stadium even more.

And this friendly match is the first match since the opening of Arsenal's new stadium. Arsenal's players have done adaptive training under Shao Bo's leadership here, and they have also played in the team's rivalry. But everyone else entered here for the first time.

　Three more done!Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a subscription, ask for a reward!Read this chapter and you will know, the suspense of the new stadium will definitely be revealed tomorrow
