Chapter 433 Building a new stadium
In the third round of the Portuguese Cup, all the Portuguese Super League teams went into battle.
Maritimo got a lottery, located in the upper half of the team with fewer strong teams, and successfully avoided the big and second brothers in the "Portuguese Super Top Three": Porto and Benfica.
Their opponent in the first round is a second-tier league team: Chavis in the Portuguese Liga.
Moreover, they have been so lucky recently that they have also drawn the home lottery.
The game will be played at the Dos Barores Stadium.
Dos Barores Stadium is a professional football stadium.With a long history and profound heritage, it has witnessed the ups and downs of Maritimo.But at the same time, the facilities are outdated and the capacity is small. The stands that can only accommodate 16000 people can no longer meet the needs of the fans to watch the game.
With the recovery of the team's record, more and more fans poured into the stadium. Looking at the crowded stands, Gao Yuan had an idea in his heart: it's time to put a new home stadium on the agenda!
Building a modern home stadium is of great strategic significance to the development of a club.
Economically, larger capacity and better facilities are bound to attract more fans to watch the game live, which can greatly increase ticket revenue.It can also drive the development of commerce around the stadium. The facade of the stadium can open commercial facilities such as comprehensive shopping centers and fan flagship stores; stadium naming fees and house rental fees will far exceed ticket revenue, increasing the long-term income of the club’s books.
Not to mention, when there is no competition, the stadium can also be rented out to host concerts or other activities.
Politically, it is even more significant.A brand-new modern stadium is a symbol of the strength of the club.It has proved the strength and ambition of the club and will definitely enhance the status of the club in the football world of the country.
The construction of the new stadium involves all aspects of land planning, approval, construction, etc., and must receive strong support from the local government.The process of building the stadium is also a process of binding the club and the government together; after the construction of the new stadium is completed, it will inevitably be able to undertake the right to host many large-scale events, and then it will be inextricably linked with the Portuguese Football Association and even UEFA.
Of course, building a new stadium is also an extremely difficult process.
Because the construction of the stadium requires a large amount of work, a long construction period, and a huge amount of money involved, once the operation is not done properly, it is easy to bring down the club.
For example, the former famous German football club Aachen had a smooth life, but because of the new Tivoli stadium, it was on the verge of bankruptcy. However, because they had no money to buy good players, their record dropped severely, and they had already dropped to the fourth tier of the German league.
And powerful players such as Tottenham Hotspur and Valencia were also dragged down by the budget exceeding the new stadium, debts increased sharply, and the team's record declined all the way.
Looking at it now, it is not easy for Wenger to build the Emirates Stadium from scratch by selling the captain, and still guarantee the fourth place every year.
Gao Yuan's desire to build a new stadium is not a wishful thinking out of thin air, but a certain confidence.
One is that domestic sponsorship fees have increased dramatically.
The car brand's desire for permanent naming rights is so strong that it even offered 4 million euros.With this money, plus some bank loans, it is completely possible to build a new stadium in Madeira Island, where land prices are relatively low.
The second is that the club has long had the idea of building a new stadium.
The Dos Barores Stadium is almost the smallest stadium in the Portuguese Super League, and its capacity and scale do not match the status of Maritimo's veteran club.As early as when Chinese capital took over, the new stadium was part of the negotiation agreement.Jiang Jianzhang promised to build a new stadium in the future, and the Funchal municipal government also promised to provide the greatest support and assistance in terms of land use, planning, and construction. Even the land for the new stadium has been planned.
The third is that Gao Yuan is confident that under his leadership, Maritimo will achieve better and better results. The success of the competitive performance can bring more benefits to the club. The money is dead on the books.
And the new stadium is the best investment project!
Fourth, although Maritimo and the Portuguese Super League are just a springboard for lofty goals, he does not just want to be a passer-by. He wants to imprint his brand on the club and let the fans here remember him forever. Building a stadium from scratch is undoubtedly a good choice.
When Gao Yuan was planning to build a new stadium for the club, in the VIP box of the stadium, major shareholder Jiang Jianzhang, accompanied by Chen Wenbin, Yan Ruyu and other executives, watched the game.
Jiang Jianzhang nodded in satisfaction when he saw the crowds in the stadium stands.
There are many things that are far more shocking than what you see on TV.
I have heard for a long time that the popularity of the team is very hot. When I saw it today, it was indeed the case.
In an ordinary Portuguese cup match against a mid-range team in the Portuguese League, the 16000-seat stadium was packed!
And obviously, it's not that there are only 16000 spectators, it's that the stadium can only hold so many people!
If there is a bigger stadium, how much benefit will it bring?Compared with the high investment, will the output be profit or loss?
But who can manage such a large project?Could it be by Chen Wenbin?
While Jiang Jianzhang was thinking, a flattering voice sounded in his ear.
"Boss Jiang, it's a pity that Gao Yuan has given the main players of the first team a holiday, otherwise you will definitely see a big victory!"
It was Chen Wenbin who spoke, and he never forgot to make small reports about Gao Yuan.
Yan Ruyu was not happy at the side, and said coldly: "Chairman Chen, it is the job of the head coach to manage the team. He must have given the team a vacation out of consideration for the team's preparations. Besides, when he made the vacation decision, Mr. Jiang hadn't said he would come!"
Chen Wenbin snorted coldly: "Since we know that Mr. Jiang is coming, we should cancel the holiday notice and let the players stand by on the team! I think some people don't have a boss at all!"
Jiang Jianzhang frowned, and reprimanded: "Old Chen, how many times have I told you that the club is based on the team, and the team is respected by the head coach! We must not only respect the decision of the high-level coach, but also give him enough support! What you said just now. I think I didn't hear it. If I hear you say that again in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes... yes..." Chen Wenbin promised in front of the big boss.
"Xiaoyan, Lao Chen is a bit stubborn. He is a stubborn donkey. He often has trouble turning his head and has a bad mouth. Don't mind! Please also show some respect in front of Director Gao, and don't let Director Gao misunderstand!"
Turning his head, Jiang Jianzhang treated Yan Ruyu in a completely different tone.
Yan Ruyu smiled faintly, "I don't dare to be angry with the old man!"
Although the words are polite, the tone is cold.
"Hehe, the future of the club still depends on you young people. I know the experience of the two of you. Not only are you a good partner at work, but in my opinion, you are also a good-looking couple in life! Haha, don't be shy, I'm from experience, so I'm telling the truth! Haha, don't be as familiar with old gangsters like Lao Chen! He, sooner or later, will be swept into the dustbin of history!"
Jiang Jianzhang said boldly, as if he had no intentions, and said something.
Chen Wenbin's face was so ugly that he was sweating, but he still couldn't help nodding his head in agreement.
Yan Ruyu blushed with shame, her pretty face was like a peach blossom in full bloom.
At this moment, the whistle on the field sounded and the game began.
