Chapter 164

January 2012, 1, a day that future generations of Chinese footballers will always remember.On that day, Chinese football took the first step in the Long March.

There are many traditional Chinese cultures. Some foreigners say that they may not be able to understand them, so they can’t say they like them. For example, Beijing opera, in their opinion, is a very strange way of singing, and the makeup is even more strange. They prefer operas that stretch out their long necks and sing loudly.

What traditional Chinese art do foreigners like?That's quite a lot, such as dragon and lion dances.

Stellar's Chinese brother, Evergrande, is rooted in Guangdong, which is the place where the southern lion dance is most successful.

The celebration ceremony has not officially started yet. Before the celebration, the most famous Southern lion dancers in China, the Zhanjiang Lion Dance Troupe, were in charge of warming up the show. As soon as they appeared on the stage, they aroused the frantic pursuit of the media and local residents of Warrington.

The audience watched nine lions with different colors and unique shapes soar up and down, and then jumped into the air one by one on the plum blossom pile. Watching the wonderful aerial duel, the thrilling scenes made them admire the agility and seamless cooperation of the Chinese people.

If the lion dance on the plum blossom pile made the British applaud in amazement, then the dragon dance that followed thoroughly let them know that Chinese culture is not the fake dragon dance they saw in Chinatown before.

When the nine Hubei Yangdian Gaolongs filed out from the club, everyone on the scene, including the Chinese, was excited.

In the past, Ji Dong thought that the Chinese would be fine if they watched the dragon and lion dance too much, but when they were in the atmosphere of the scene, they could still be shocked.

There are nine dragons, nine colors, and each dragon is over 40 meters long. This is a real long dragon. There are nine dragons at once, and there are nearly 200 actors in the dragon dance alone.

When the nine dragons surrounded the media and audience present, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.

Looking at the giant dragon outside and the lion dance at the center, everyone felt dizzy.

With the drum beating more and more urgently, the performance of Long Teng and Lion Leap reached its climax.

The nine giant dragons slowly gathered together, and the nine dancing lions also stopped playing and gathered together.When the last drum beat hit the drum, nine giant dragons crossed and circled together, and the most dazzling golden dragon was lifted into the air by the stars.

The raised dragon head seems to be chanting, he is sending out his strongest voice to the world, he announces to the world, when he comes, the rest of the people must submit.

As the drum beat stopped, there were nine dancing lions. When the seven dancing lions were crawling at different heights, three lion steps appeared on the plum blossom pile.

Two lions, one red and one yellow, stepped on the steps and leaped high, and they bit the high hanging blue lion accurately from left to right.

The two lions that had been harvested green fell steadily to the ground from a height of about five meters.

After the blue flowers hanging high in the sky were picked, a pair of couplets appeared in people's sight.

The Shanghai couplet book "Ambition creates a great cause",

The second couplet is about "aspirations to write spring and autumn"!

"it is good!"

The Chinese reporters and old overseas Chinese who were present applauded loudly, while those foreigners and banana people just applauded to express their respect.

The media reporters realized that just relying on this warm-up performance is not something that any small club can produce.Not to mention anything else, just this opening performance must have cost a lot of money.

The number of media reporters who came to the inauguration ceremony of the Stellar Club today was much more than expected, and it is roughly estimated that there are more than 80 journalists.

Although there are only about 20 domestic news media in China, they are all the top media in the country, and there are many top official media such as "Xinhua News Agency".

As for the number of British media who came to the scene, there were as many as 60, which completely exceeded the expectations of the news department of the Stellar Club.When he learned that many people came for Ji Dong's publicity, the club press officer was overjoyed and became more determined to tie Ji Dong with the club.

After the opening performance full of Chinese characteristics, the famous BBC football commentator Albert Daly first came on stage. He is the host of ceremonies invited by the Stellar Club today.

Daly's talk was humorous but not warm. It not only took care of the face of the Chinese donors but also flattered the British people.

And as a professional in the football circle, Daly still has a lot of face. After Daly's package, the newly established Stellar Club seems to become a team comparable to Manchester United and Liverpool in the future.

The team's behind-the-scenes boss, Boss Xu, a wealthy Chinese businessman, was the first to speak. This was also the first time he appeared on the sports page of the British media.Different from domestic ones, his speech this time was short but domineering. Among them, the most domineering sentence in the British media was "We will not spend money recklessly, but as long as we need it, we will never be short of money!"

At the same time, Boss Xu also announced that the construction of the new stadium of Warrington Stellar Club - "Evergrande Park Stadium" will start in a week. Evergrande Group expects to invest more than 3.5 million pounds in the first phase. This new stadium with nearly 80000 fan seats is expected to be put into use in two years.

Hearing this news, the British media became restless. They didn't care about the attendance rate of this small club in the future. Their focus was on the key words "the initial investment will exceed 3.5 million pounds" and "it will be put into use in two years".

They still vividly remember how hard it is for a Premier League giant team like Arsenal to build a stadium.First of all, we must cut down on food and clothing, control salaries, sell players, buy cheap players, buy small players, and then sell them.

If these are nothing, then they often show off how much financing can be used to build the stadium, and a series of financial means such as bank loans and stadium mortgages are required to build it. These things can make Arsenal ashamed to death.

As for the time, it will take several years just to collect the money, and the money cannot be credited at one time. It is a delusion to build a stadium for less than ten years.

However, you are listening to the words of the Chinese people and looking at their courage, "initial investment", pay attention to "investment", not "financing", and it is still "initial investment".

The club was only established today, and they actually started building a new stadium next week, which will be ready for use in two years.

God, are the Chinese crazy?

is it possible?

Thinking of the bird's nest, they collectively felt it was still possible!

God, how rich are the Chinese people!

The Russians are rich, and the Arabs are rich, but what they do is to directly buy giant teams, and then frantically buy superstars. It is true that they show strong financial resources, but how many English people really like them.Maybe, but it's more about contempt and hatred for them, including their own fans.

The Chinese are different. They started from small clubs, even amateur teams, and then made a lot of infrastructure construction.It can be foreseen how many jobs and economic growth points they will bring to this town called Warrington.

Combining all these, the media can almost conclude that the Chinese will receive the greatest support and blessings here.

What made the media more convinced of this was the speech by the player representatives. The Stellar Club gave the British enough face during this session. The appearance of Eric Dill, the first captain in the history of the team and the pride of a native of Warrington, aroused warm applause and whistles.

In Eric Dill's speech, he expressed his gratitude to the team for inviting him to join. At the same time, he firmly believed that Warrington's star would really illuminate the whole of England, the whole of Europe, and the whole world like a star in the future.

At the same time, he called on everyone to actively join the Stellar Club. No matter how great a existence is, a star will be great, and the first members to join are the founders of greatness.

Although Eric Dill's speech was nothing special, it made the club members more than 1000 people on the same day, and these people were really called the great founders decades later.

The last link is the ribbon-cutting ceremony and the naming ceremony of the training base of the Stellar Club.

In order not to steal the limelight, Lin Yi hadn't appeared before, but he finally appeared in front of the camera at this last moment, so he immediately became the target of the media.

A total of ten people participated in the ribbon-cutting. Among them, Lin Yi only knew Boss Xu and a staff member of the Football Association, and he didn't know the rest.It seems that Boss Xu's net is a bit big, but this also reflects from the side that Boss Xu really wants to play football.

It could not be better!

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Lin Yi once again retreated behind the scenes. He refused all media interviews. Today's protagonist should be the Stellar Club. Lin Yi has a good grasp of this scale.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony was the unveiling ceremony of the Stellar Club's training base. When Boss Xu pulled down the red silk cloth, a huge signboard came into view.

"Warrington Outer Water Training Base" corresponds to Evergrande's "Lishui Base" in Foshan, and the name in both Chinese and English reflects the club's Chinese-funded background.

What appeared in front of the media at the same time was the club's team logo, a dragon, a giant dragon flying through the clouds with its teeth and claws.

Although the dragon is still in the deep pool, Ji Dong feels that it won't be too far away when it leaps.
