Chapter 236: A hit! The best gift! The pillar of the top wealthy family! [Subscribe]

Bayswater Chinese finally defeated Leverkusen 2-0 at home in the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Napoli defeated Villarreal 2-0 away from home.

In this way, Bayswater Chinese and Napoli joined hands to advance as the group leader and runner-up.

The Bundesliga’s Bayer Leverkusen went to the Europa League, while Villarreal lost all six games and was eliminated.

The most regrettable one here is Villarreal.

The Yellow Submarine is also in a bad situation in La Liga this season.

The record of losing all 6 group matches is indeed quite embarrassing.

This, to some extent, also makes people see the development bottleneck of this team.

The home stadium has a small capacity and the surrounding area is not a big city, so the development space is limited.

In addition, with the pressure from two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​in La Liga, the Yellow Submarine’s ceiling has basically been reached.

By the way, after the group stage, all four Premier League teams advanced as group leaders.

Including Manchester City, and Liverpool after many years.

This also allowed everyone to see the strength of the Premier League teams.

After returning to the Premier League, we welcomed the 15th round.

Arsenal beat Everton 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Robin van Persie.

Liverpool beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Luis Suarez.

Chelsea lost 1-2 to Manchester City at home.

So far, Boas’ team has lost all the strong matches.

Bayswater Chinese will challenge Manchester United away in this round, and the match is scheduled for the final stage of this round.

Although they were playing away, Bayswater Chinese created a great opportunity just 20 seconds into the game.

After a wonderful pass from Modric, Walcott broke through Evra on the right and passed the ball low across the goal.

This sudden blitzkrieg threw Manchester United’s defense into chaos.

Lewandowski in the middle attracted firepower and deliberately missed the ball at the front point.

Gareth Bale followed up with a left-foot shot, trying to hit the ball into the bottom left corner.

As a result, the ball hit the post and bounced back.

Gareth Bale followed up and shot again, but Ferdinand flew over to block the shot and it went out of bounds.

The Chinese in Bayswater missed a golden opportunity!
This seems to have become a true portrayal of this game.

The Bayswater Chinese kept pressing forward, especially on the two flanks.

This put Manchester United’s entire midfield and backcourt in a passive situation.

But in the face of adversity, Ferdinand stepped up.

In addition to the flying shot to block the bullet hole at the beginning of the game, the 33-year-old veteran has been performing better and better.

In the 30th minute, after Gareth Bale and Marcelo completed a very beautiful cooperation on the left, Gareth Bale passed the ball into the penalty area to find Lewandowski.

Ferdinand was in a worse position than Lewandowski, but he still leaped forward and headed the ball out of the penalty area, barely defusing the crisis.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Gareth Bale was still from the left, but this time it was a low ball passed to the front of the small penalty area.

When Lewandowski got the ball and shot, Ferdinand fell to the ground to block it, and the ball went out of the baseline.

The two sides ended up tied 0-0 in the first half.

The Bayswater Chinese created more chances and had some very threatening shots, but failed to score.

In the second half, the situation continued that of the first half.

The Chinese in Bayswater kept planning and launching attacks, while Manchester United defended tightly.

Not only did Ferdinand perform very well himself, he also inspired David Luiz to perform well.

This made Manchester United’s entire defense extremely solid.

In the 62nd minute, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack taking advantage of the Chinese substitution at Bayswater.

De Rossi passed the ball to Robben in the frontcourt.

The Dutchman quickly moved forward behind Marcelo, attracted the defense’s attention, and then passed the ball to Rooney in the penalty area.

Lu Xiaopang seized the opportunity in the penalty area and pushed the ball into the goal of Bayswater Chinese.

1 is better than 0!

But just five minutes later, Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Toni Kroos cooperated continuously on the left and passed a low ball into the penalty area.

Lewandowski stopped the ball, turned around, and shot with his left foot, which penetrated De Gea’s goal and equalized the score.

1 is better than 1!

Afterwards, no matter how the Chinese from Bayswater attacked, Manchester United firmly defended the penalty area.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 1-1.

Ferdinand was voted the best player of the match!
Sky Sports commented after the game: “A dominant defensive performance, with many wonderful clearances in the penalty area, defusing the opponent’s threatening offensive.”

At the end of the game, more than 7 Manchester United fans in the entire Old Trafford Stadium stood up and gave Ferdinand warm applause and cheers, all shouting his name.

This is a great honor for a 33-year-old veteran.

But he deserves it!
He made an astonishing 21 clearances throughout the game.

It’s 21 times!
When Yang Cheng saw this number, he couldn’t imagine how this 33-year-old guy did it?
Led by him, David Luiz contributed 13 times, Phil Jones contributed 9 times and Evra contributed 6 times.

In other words, Manchester United’s defense contributed 49 clearances in this game.

On average, the ball is cleared once every 2 minutes.

As Sky Sports said, “It’s not that the Chinese in Bayswater performed poorly, but that Manchester United’s midfield and backcourt played amazingly at their home ground today!”

“We have no doubt that today’s Manchester United defence reminded us of our heyday.”

Sky Sports believes that the most crucial thing is Ferdinand’s full recovery.

It is difficult for the 33-year-old veteran to maintain a high level of output throughout the season, but Ferguson’s use of him and Vidic is also very interesting, that is, letting them take turns to partner with David Luiz.

Phil Jones was placed on the right side in this game.

In front is the combination of Carrick and De Rossi.

This keeps Manchester United’s defense very tight.

Ferguson singled out Ferdinand for praise in the post-match press conference, believing that he is still the most important member of the team.

As for the 1-1 draw with Bayswater Chinese at home, at least judging from the expression on Ferguson’s face, he didn’t seem too disappointed and it should be within expectations.

It even gives people a feeling that it seems quite good.

This also indirectly highlights the strength of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Remember, this is at Old Trafford.

Here, Manchester United has always wanted to get 3 points.

……

Although they drew 1-1 with Manchester United away, Yang Cheng’s mood was not affected.

There is a full week of rest time between the 15th and 16th rounds of the Premier League.

This is really a very good opportunity for the Bayswater Chinese to rest, as they have been playing two games a week since the beginning of the season, so Yang Cheng gave the players two days off in one go.

The main reason is that in the remaining two league rounds before Christmas, the opponents are Stoke City and Norwich, and both are home games, so Yang Cheng is still very confident.

By mid-week, the Bayswater Chinese had also arranged a commercial event for the club.

The activity was scheduled in the afternoon. The team first gathered at the Brent Training Center and took the team bus from the Brent Training Base to the new stadium in Bayswater, London.

There is still more than half a year before the new stadium is opened.

Now, the stadium has been topped off, the exterior has been fully decorated, and the interior has been mostly completed.

The stadium’s most eye-catching circular double-sided screen has already been manufactured and is currently being shipped to London. All that remains is the hoisting and debugging stages.

In addition, the stadium’s folding turf device has also been successfully debugged and has been recognized by the Chinese and expert group at Bayswater.

Now what’s left are some interior decoration, commercial facility layout, and the decoration of VIP boxes and sky bars, etc.

All of this takes a lot of time.

When the Chinese team from Bayswater showed up at the Prudential Arena, dressed in neatly-dressed Burberry haute couture suits, they immediately attracted the media reporters who had come there long ago after hearing the news.

And when the players entered the new stadium, Yang Cheng clearly heard all of them exclaiming “Wow”.

Everyone seemed extremely shocked and amazed!
“It’s so big, my God!”

“Is this really our home ground from now on?”

“I thought it would be about the same size as Wembley Stadium, but now it seems we are much bigger than Wembley Stadium.”

After hearing the players’ reactions, Yang Cheng explained with a smile.

“The capacity is actually similar to Wembley Stadium, estimated to be just over 9, but our stadium seats will be slightly wider than Wembley Stadium, so the fans’ viewing experience will be more comfortable.”

“Also, if you look at the stands around, the aisles are quite spacious. Even the seats on the top stands, under the roof, are actually very good for watching the game.”

“This is definitely a five-star luxury stadium in European football, no, even in the world!”

Yang Cheng became interested and felt very proud of the stadium he had planned to build. He immediately acted as a tour guide and introduced various locations of the stadium to the players.

At this moment, the turf of the stadium has not been laid yet and there are three cranes working in the stadium.

The site is filled with various cables and pipes.

There is full coverage of WIFI, and after the roof is closed in winter, the heating will be turned on. This is the first time in stadiums around the world.

When the new stadium is fully opened, all fans will only need a smartphone. Everything from ticket purchasing and ticket checking to ordering food and other various consumption will be available and can all be operated directly through an APP.

In fact, Bayswater Chinese are currently preparing to pilot a “takeaway” mechanism.

That is, fans can order food at their seats and choose to pick it up themselves or have it delivered to the stands by a deliveryman.

This can greatly alleviate the pressure of entertaining guests in commercial areas during game breaks.

Of course, there will be additional shipping charges for takeout.

In addition, the entire new stadium has the largest commercial area ever.

In addition, as we have been involved in the planning from the very beginning, the planning and design of the entire commercial area is more reasonable than that of all other stadiums, and the utilization efficiency will reach a level that is difficult for other stadiums to achieve.

As for the locker rooms, which are of most concern to the players, both the home locker room and the away locker room are very large and have quite complete facilities.

In this regard, the Chinese in Bayswater are still very magnanimous.

At least it’s not like some teams, which have very perfect home games but extremely shabby away games.

According to Yang Cheng, “When we Chinese in Bayswater reach this level, we don’t bother to use such petty tricks!”

Not only the Bayswater Chinese players were amazed, but the reporters who followed the team into the stadium were also shocked.

Even though they are used to all kinds of golf courses, they have never seen one as dreamy as the Bayswater Chinese.

It feels a bit sci-fi!
Especially compared to the London Bowl in East London…

Forget it, I won’t talk about it. There is no comparison because of the generation gap.

The seats and other things have not been installed yet, but this did not stop the players, reporters and new media staff from taking a lot of photos. Finally, Yang Cheng took the players to take a group photo with the construction workers on site.

All the players were extremely shocked by the new stadium and were looking forward to it.

Especially Modric.

“Boss, we will finally have our own stadium!” Modric said with a sore nose and blinked hard.

Many players at the scene felt sympathetic after hearing this.

Actually, Modric is pretty good.

He played at the old stadium in his first season with Bayswater Chinese.

But since then, the team has been looking for someone to rent the stadium.

First it was Queens Park Rangers’ Loftus Road stadium, then Wembley Stadium.

Many players who joined later had to play in rented stadiums all the way. Some had never even seen Bayswater Stadium. They only saw what it looked like in photos and descriptions from their teammates.

Up to now, the Chinese in Bayswater have been wandering for 8 years!
The new stadium is finally here!

Yang Cheng laughed and put his arm around Modric’s shoulders, and reached out his other hand to grab Brian Kidd. They were both his first right-hand men and witnessed the past of the Chinese in Bayswater with their own eyes.

Now, everything the team has is thanks to them!
“Yeah, we’re going to have our own court!”

Yang Cheng was also deeply touched.

“Remember when we decided to build this stadium, I said we must become the best team in the world, the top club!”

“Now, our new stadium is going to be built and we will move in next season!”

“Guys, I did it, now it’s up to you!”

Yang Cheng’s simple words made all the players on the scene seem to be ignited, and each of them was full of high morale.

Especially people like Modric, Gareth Bale and others, they have really waited for this stadium for too long!
Therefore, they must try their best to present the best gift for the opening of this stadium!

……

After the tour of the new stadium, the team did not leave Prudential Arena, but went directly to the Bulgari Hotel next door.

As night falls, the lights of the Bulgari Hotel come on.

This is a hotel with typical Italian decoration design, which is luxurious in simplicity.

The lights are bright, but it doesn’t feel luxurious.

The hotel’s facade is a masterpiece by Norman Foster, blending in with the Prudential Arena and Queen’s Road outside.

But the interior decoration of the hotel was designed by Antonio Citterio, a national treasure-level Italian designer who is also Bulgari’s exclusive designer. The previous two Bulgari hotels were all designed by him.

Two national treasure-level designers joined forces to combine internal and external elements to create this boutique hotel on Queen’s Road in London.

But in fact, the Bulgari Hotel has not yet been officially opened.

Even the decoration is not finished yet.

They only started by renovating the first floor lobby and the second floor.

The same designer makes every Bulgari Hotel highly recognizable.

For example, the iconic handmade copper oval bar, which serves as the hotel lobby lounge during the day and a beautiful bar at night, has always been popular with customers.

At this moment, the bartenders specially invited from the Bulgari Hotel Milan, Italy and the Bulgari Hotel Bali are busy behind the bar, entertaining the invited guests.

The floor tiles in the lobby feature an octagonal star, which is the exclusive Bulgari logo and is also Bulgari’s unique logo.

From the lobby to the guest rooms, all the furniture in the hotel are from luxury Italian brands.

When Yang Cheng and his party walked into the lobby, they were immediately stunned by the unique Italian luxury.

I have to say that this Italian luxury brand really knows how to strike a balance between style and style.

“See that crystal chandelier?”

When Adam Crozier saw Yang Cheng coming over, he immediately came over. After greeting the players, he pulled Yang Cheng aside and pointed to a huge crystal chandelier above the spiral staircase.

“The brand history of the pure hand-blown crystal chandelier in Italy is more than 700 years.”

“The rooftop has been turned into a private garden and sky pool for relaxation. The restaurants are all Michelin three-star restaurants. I heard from their manager that the bartenders are all world-famous masters.”

“Go upstairs and take a look at the guest rooms later. All the marble, wood, and furniture are luxury brands that you can name, and the workmanship is amazing.”

Yang Cheng felt amused.

Is Adam Crozier planning to become a die-hard fan of Bulgari?

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m just lamenting that our so-called VIP box is nothing compared to their real luxury goods!”

Yang Cheng deeply agrees with this point.

“It is indeed worth learning from.”

“I’ve already talked to them. We will cooperate with them. In addition to staff training, our VIP customers will be able to order food directly from them.” Adam Crozier laughed.

This is another good way to generate income.

Yang Cheng still remembers that One Hyde Park was the world-famous mansion, and the supporting program it provided was that people could order food directly from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel across the street.

I have to say, to make money from rich guys, you have to kill some brain cells.

But for the Chinese in Bayswater, having a luxury neighbor like Bulgari means they will definitely try their best to get it.

This is also the reason why Yang Cheng and Adam Crozier took great pains to introduce Bulgari Hotel!
……

For super luxury brands like Bulgari Hotel, they will carry out a series of promotions and marketing before the hotel opens.

But it is obviously different from ordinary promotional marketing.

For example, they directly connect with cooperating banks and airlines to attract their high-net-worth VIP customers.

Then various flash mob events are held in famous yacht marinas such as London Canary Wharf, Nice, France, and Monaco.

There are also car clubs for luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley, as well as high-end golf, tennis and other clubs in the UK and Europe.

In short, they accurately identify their target customers.

But in terms of public opinion, there is really no movement at all.

At a tasting session like tonight’s, everyone was surprised to find that almost all the attendees were British and even European business elites, wealthy people, government and consulate officials, and other political and business celebrities.

But it’s not just these, there are also some world-famous celebrities, top media executives, fashion bloggers, top travel bloggers, etc.

Of course, in such a high-end occasion, cultural elites such as world-renowned artists and designers are indispensable.

On the second floor of the hotel is a temporary limited-time exhibition hall.

In a few days, just before Christmas, Bulgari will hold a two-month Bulgari 2th Anniversary Italian Classic Design Art Exhibition here.

All the exhibits are carefully selected works of art, each of which represents the design style and characteristics of every important historical period from the founding of Bulgari in 1884 to the present. They can be called immortal masterpieces in the field of Italian culture, art and jewelry design.

There are more than 600 exhibits in total.

And tonight is the tasting session carefully prepared in advance for this group of invited super VIPs.

There are actually not many of them, but all of them are very influential elites in their respective fields.

The first team of Bayswater Chinese players all received invitations.

Logically speaking, this culture and art doesn’t seem to have much to do with football.

But in Europe, football has a very high social influence and status.

Bulgari has been exploring the Asian market in recent years, and naturally attaches great importance to Bayswater Chinese, a Premier League giant with great influence in Asia.

To put it simply, in terms of branding, Bayswater Chinese want to piggyback on Bulgari, but in terms of market development, it’s the other way around.

Both parties take what they need.

Yang Cheng and Xia Qing stood side by side in the exhibition hall on the second floor admiring these Bulgari’s exquisite designs.

I have to say that each piece is a work of art.

The political and business celebrities and elites from all walks of life present at the scene were all fascinated by the performance.

Especially their female companions.

Xia Qing was naturally no exception.

After looking around, Yang Cheng and Xia Qing returned to the coffee area on the first floor. Many people at the scene recognized Yang Cheng and came over to say hello.

He is not only a celebrity in the football circle, but also has good connections in the entertainment, fashion, art and even financial circles.

Of course one has to show some taste in front of others, but in private, after a little calculation, Yang Cheng has to admire the style, or routine, of these super luxury brands.

Tasting sessions like tonight’s may not have many people, but they have a great impact.

If I look back, it will definitely spread tomorrow.

But the most important thing is not this, but the next art exhibition.

It lasts for 2 months and is open to everyone, but an admission fee is required.

Maybe someone will say, this is too tacky, right?
Art exhibitions still charge admission?
It directly lowers the brand’s style.

That’s right!

So, this art exhibition is in cooperation with the international charity organization Save the Children, and all ticket revenue will be donated to this organization to help children around the world receive better education.

You see, the quality is immediately improved.

On the one hand, they charge expensive ticket prices, raising the threshold for art exhibitions and accurately identifying their future potential customers. On the other hand, they donate to charity organizations, gaining a good reputation again, and future customers who come to see the exhibition are also very satisfied.

“When it comes to creating emotional value, these super luxury brands have to be the best!” The more Yang Cheng thought about it, the more amazing he felt.

“Just now, Adam Crozier said that compared to them, we are just bumpkins.”

Xia Qing chuckled, but had to admit that it was true.

“Our approach is different from theirs, but there are many things that are indeed worth learning from them,” Xia Qing said with a smile.

Yang Cheng nodded and pointed at Adam Crozier, who was like a butterfly among flowers in the distance. Yang Cheng had to admit that this kid was very suitable for this kind of occasion and was also popular.

“Look at him. When he first said he wanted to set the starting price of the VIP box at 10 pounds, everyone thought he was crazy. But after all his efforts, he actually succeeded.”

Just a few days ago, Adam Cross reported the latest report card to Yang Cheng.

Of the 250 VIP boxes, 200 have been sold.

And most of them are contracts of at least three years.

This is a box that costs at least 10 pounds!

But don’t think that the Chinese in Bayswater are making a lot of money.

Really not!
Revenue has definitely gone up, but the actual profit is hard to say.

According to Adam Crozier’s initial estimate, the box fees collected are just enough to break even on costs, and the company makes money purely through value-added services, so the profit is not as high as imagined.

Apart from anything else, if the box fee is 10 pounds, then the service must be improved, right?

Various supporting facilities, personnel, software and hardware, all of these added up, at present, the cost is also very high.

But first of all, this is a long-term business. As long as you build a good reputation, you won’t have to worry about not having income in the future.

Secondly, isn’t this just the beginning?

After doing it for a long time and opening up various links, many costs can be gradually reduced.

Finally, there is the big piece of fat, value-added services.

According to the current situation of the boxes at Wembley Stadium, the ratio of box fees to value-added services is roughly 1:1.

Therefore, the profit in this area is still considerable.

This is the same principle as Bulgari running a hotel.

Can they afford the annual rent of 1000 million pounds and so many labor costs just by relying on hotel room rates?
Don’t be ridiculous, this is basically impossible!

After all, many of these super luxury hotels are not even profitable.

In other words, it’s not that easy to make money.

But once you succeed and establish your brand, there are plenty of ways to make money.

Yang Cheng also heard something, but he didn’t know whether it was true or not.

In other words, Michelin three-star hotels don’t actually make much money.

But the owner of a Michelin three-star restaurant often also runs another restaurant of a slightly lower grade, which actually makes more money.

The principles are basically valid.

“Xiao Qing, remember to talk to our parents, as well as Xia Xi and his wife, in advance, and remember to take time off. Come to London in August to watch the Olympics. My parents will definitely come too.”

The opening of the new stadium is a big day!

Yang Jianguo and his department store will open at the same time, so he will definitely come.

By then, the stadium, department stores, Apple stores, Peninsula Hotel and Bulgari Hotel will open at the same time, and it will be the Olympic Games, so it will definitely be very lively.

Now, Bayswater Chinese and the other four companies have already started preparations and planning, hoping to make a big splash in front of tourists from all over the world during the Olympic Games!
Yang Cheng is now also working hard.

We will try to bring out the achievements of the Chinese in Bayswater this year.

At least, he is determined to win the Premier League championship!
……

Just as Yang Cheng had expected, the tasting event at the Bulgari Hotel in West London quickly spread overnight.

Major media outlets, fashion magazines, and even television stations have all reported on this event.

The art exhibition in the next two months was also mentioned.

According to the official disclosure of Bulgari Hotel, after the art exhibition, they will also hold other limited-time exhibitions, all of which will be in collaboration with famous artists from all over the world.

This is also to warm up for the hotel that is about to open.

The news was widely circulated outside, and there was also a lot of discussion among the Chinese in Bayswater.

Apart from anything else, it was the first time for the players to appear in such a high-end and classy venue. They all inevitably felt fresh, and some even felt a little ashamed of themselves.

For example, Marcelo, who is usually the most flamboyant, complained that if he had known he would be going to such an occasion, he would have cut his afro.

“I’m going to see art with an afro, I’m crazy!”

Poor Brazilians, they must be broken inside.

On the contrary, Toni Kroos, as always, was calm and collected, and hit the nail on the head.

“There’s no need to react so strongly. Our art is on the court, not in the window.”

I have to say that this sentence really comforted the wounded hearts of the teammates present.

But Marcelo has decided to get rid of his beloved Afro.

After Christmas, the Peninsula Hotel will also hold some art and cultural activities, and the Chinese in Bayswater are also invited to participate.

“From now on, I will be a gentleman with taste!” Marcelo shouted at the top of his lungs.

But no one would believe him at all.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The Peninsula Hotel is also of a very high standard. Although it won’t hold art exhibitions like Bulgari, it is likely to be a high-end event as well.

Yang Cheng hopes that these Bayswater Chinese players can experience more occasions like this, be more influenced, and cultivate more literary and artistic atmosphere, which can also be combined with the good physiques of football players.

Maybe, it can really cross over and break out of the circle.

Didn’t Beckham rely on this method to slowly make his way into the entertainment industry?
It’s a pity that when Yang Cheng looked at the whole team, it seemed that no one could compare to Beckham in terms of appearance.

If it really doesn’t work, I, the head coach, will have to take action myself!
……

March 12st afternoon, Wembley Stadium, London.

After a week of rest, especially the two-day holiday given by Yang Cheng, all the players were satisfied.

After resting up, they welcomed Stoke City at home this weekend.

This is the 16th round of the Premier League.

Just two minutes into the game, Modric’s assist helped Lewandowski score against Stoke City.

Tony Pulis’ team was stunned right from the start.

Afterwards, Stoke City defended hard for 20 minutes but still failed to hold on.

In the 23rd minute, Gareth Bale suddenly appeared in the middle, received a pass from Lewandowski, and shot with his right foot from the right side of the arc to break Stoke City’s goal.

2 is better than 0!

The first half ended with a 2-goal lead.

But after the second half, Modric scored again in the 61st minute.

The Croatian player scored the goal by coming from behind, receiving a cross from Di Maria on the right and shooting from inside the penalty area.

In the 73rd minute, Modric made another wonderful pass, Gareth Bale broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner.

4 is better than 0!

In the 82nd minute, Marcelo made a diagonal pass from the left flank, Di Maria stopped suddenly on the right side of the penalty area, dribbled past the defender, and shot with his left foot.

5 is better than 0!

Bayswater Chinese finally beat Stoke City 5- at home and won a resounding victory!

In this round, Chelsea drew 1-1 with Wigan Athletic away from home.

Manchester United beat Queens Park Rangers 2-0 away.

Liverpool beat Aston Villa 2-0 away.

Because Arsenal had to participate in the Club World Cup, Manchester City’s home game against Arsenal was kicked off early, and the two sides shook hands in a 1-1 draw.

Yang Cheng was very happy that the Blue Moon failed to beat the Gunners at home.

……

Three days later, the 3th round of the Premier League.

Bayswater Chinese continue to host newly promoted Norwich at home.

This time, Norwich adopted a 4231 formation, defending tightly and trying to curb the attack of Bayswater Chinese through strenuous running and intercepting.

But they only lasted half an hour.

In the 32nd minute, Kyle Walker dribbled the ball down the right and assisted Walcott to score, opening the scoring for the Bayswater Chinese.

1 is better than 0!

After the second half, in the 51st minute, Hazard dribbled the ball on the left and made an assist, Aaron Ramsey followed up and scored another goal, expanding the score.

2 is better than 0!

In the 68th minute, Hazard’s dribbling disrupted Norwich’s defense, and Javi Martinez made a long shot from behind and once again penetrated Norwich’s goal.

3 is better than 0!

Then, taking advantage of Bayswater Chinese’s continuous substitutions, Norwich scored a goal in the 81st minute.

But in the 88th minute, Harry Kane scored a goal in the penalty area and expanded the score again.

4 is better than 1!

In the stoppage time, Pogba headed the ball from the left side of the penalty area after receiving a long pass from Kompany and hit the left post.

5 is better than 1!

Bayswater Chinese won another big victory.

Especially Harry Kane and Pogba, who came on as substitutes later, each scored a goal.

Anyone can see that after two years of training and development, these two young players have demonstrated outstanding levels and their progress is obvious to all.

In addition, Sterling has also begun to emerge this season.

It can be said that the Chinese team in Bayswater is beginning to show its strength in terms of the depth of its bench.

In this round, except for Arsenal whose game was postponed due to participation in the Club World Cup, the other teams have decided the winners.

Manchester City beat Stoke City 3-0 at home, with Aguero scoring twice.

Liverpool beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 thanks to Rakitic’s goal.

By the way, before the season, many people were questioning whether it was worth it for Liverpool to sign Rakitic with such a high transfer fee?

But in the league, everyone found that Rakitic quickly became the core of Liverpool’s midfield, and repeatedly scored goals at critical moments to turn the tide.

Many people originally thought that Rakitic was bought to succeed Gerrard.

But now, Rakitic’s performance is even better than Gerrard.

This is the nth time he has scored a goal to help Liverpool get all 3 points?

This role has always been played by Gerrard in the past.

Many media outlets praised Rakitic’s outstanding performance, which also confirmed the rumors in European football.

The Chinese players who come out of Bayswater are basically reliable.

At the very least, strength is definitely not a problem.

what?
Andy Carroll?
The main reason is that the players themselves caused the trouble.

Besides, look at the mess Chelsea has been in in recent years. Are there any young players who can make it?
Manchester United beat Fulham 5-0 away in West London.

Chelsea drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur away from home.

The Blues were ultimately unable to get out of the quagmire.

It has been widely rumored that Boas may be sacked at any time.

After 17 rounds of matches, Bayswater Chinese had 15 wins and 2 draws, got 47 points and maintained an unbeaten record.

Bayswater Chinese is also the only team in Europe that has maintained an unbeaten record so far.

Manchester City followed closely in second place with 45 points.

Manchester United is in third place with 44 points.

Since Arsenal has one game less, Liverpool ranks fourth with 42 points in this round.

The Gunners are in fifth place with 41 points.

Chelsea only got 27 points and is still ranked 7th.

In the middle is Tottenham Hotspur with 30 points.

By the way, Queens Park Rangers have one draw and four losses in the last five rounds, deep in the relegation zone, with only 5 points, ranking 1th in the Premier League.

Next up are Bolton with 12 points and Blackburn with 10 points.

Bolton and Blackburn have both been terrible this season.

……

After the 17th round of the Premier League, the Premier League was temporarily suspended and entered the Christmas holiday.

Yang Cheng and the players also started to get busy.

The club is carrying out various Christmas activities in an orderly manner, including arranging players to go to orphanages, children’s hospitals, nursing homes and other places to participate in various charity activities.

These are all routine Christmas activities every year.

Another thing is to participate in some community fan club activities.

Not only around Brent, but also around Bayswater, such as Notting Hill.

The residents of these areas will become potential customer groups for the Chinese in Bayswater in the future, and they have been doing so every year over the past few years.

There is also an annual Christmas dinner.

The biggest and most explosive news this year, of course, is that Adam Crozier proudly told everyone that Bayswater Chinese’s revenue this season will definitely exceed that of Real Madrid.

“We will be the highest-grossing football club in the world!”

This excited all the players and their families present.

But what really excited them was that when Yang Cheng took the stage to speak on behalf of the club, he solemnly announced that starting from next season, the club would once again start a new round of contract renewals.

An important reference for renewal will be the players’ performance in the next six months of this season!
The player’s current salary is of course a consideration, but his contribution to the team is also a major criterion.

Although Yang Cheng did not announce the specific figures to the public, everyone had actually heard some rumors.

According to convention, if the contract is renewed, the maximum salary must be at least 15 pounds.

You know, although the Premier League pays on a weekly basis, it pays for 52 weeks, which is a total of 780 million pounds per year.

Based on the current pound exchange rate of 1.25, that would be an annual salary of nearly million euros!
This is almost catching up with the two giants of the Spanish Super League, Messi and Ronaldo.

You know, Messi’s current annual salary is about 1100 million euros, and Ronaldo’s is 1200 million euros.

This is already the highest level among the two giants in the Spanish Super League.

The Chinese in Bayswater now have to offer an annual salary of nearly 10 million euros, which is undoubtedly to appease the players.

In the past, they tightened their belts and suppressed players’ salaries, saying it was for the sake of a new stadium.

Now, the club’s revenue has surpassed Real Madrid, and the new stadium is about to be completed. By then, the income will skyrocket, and it will be unreasonable not to renew the players’ contracts and increase their salaries.

If you play the emotional card too much, problems may arise.

Besides, not everyone is willing to pay £15 a week.

According to Yang Cheng’s plan and the salary structure designed by Xia Qing, the maximum salary is 15 pounds, which is about 970 million euros. This is actually very competitive in European football.

£12 to £15 belongs to the first tier.

The number of people in this group must be strictly controlled, and it will not be too large. The young players in the team will not receive such high salaries all at once.

The second tier is between £6 and £12.

This group is the mainstream middle class of Chinese in Bayswater.

Those below £6 belong to the third tier, which mainly consists of young players and substitute players.

According to Xia Qing’s preliminary estimate, if the club renews contracts with players in this manner, the club’s salary expenditure will be able to continue to be controlled at around 45% in the next few years.

This is already a very healthy expenditure in European football.

But if we take into account the additional employees hired for the new stadium, such as operators of VIP boxes, etc., the salary expenditure is expected to be around 50%, which is still very healthy.

Overall, Yang Cheng’s game strategy and style on the field are very aggressive, and his main focus is offensive football.

But in terms of finance, Xia Qing’s strategy is very conservative and cautious.

Therefore, the average salary of Chinese players in Bayswater has always been at the bottom among the top six teams in the Premier League.

This time, Yang Cheng proposed to renew the contract for the next season, which is undoubtedly the biggest motivation for the team.

Coupled with a series of championship bonus systems introduced by the club, the players are all screaming and are obviously full of fighting spirit.

Even Modric, who has always been low-key and taciturn, took the initiative to go on stage and called on his teammates to strive for better results and present a gift for the new stadium!

“By August, we will have a golf course that belongs entirely to us Bayswater Chinese!”

Modric spoke emotionally, and many players at the scene were also infected.

Yang Cheng was also deeply touched.

Before we knew it, Croatians have been visiting Chinese people in Bayswater for almost 9 years.

He has grown from a young boy to one of the top midfielders in European football, but he is already 26 years old.

In 9 years, he witnessed the club’s struggle from the third-tier league to becoming one of the top European clubs today, from being heavily in debt.

Others have no way of knowing the bitterness that has been experienced.

As the captain of the team, Modric knows better than anyone how difficult the journey for the team has been.

Now, the hard work is finally over and the sweetness is finally coming!
The new stadium is finally being built!
That is not only the cornerstone for the Chinese in Bayswater to become one of the top European giants, but also a symbol!
