Chapter 717: Long Shot


There are many trivial matters in preparing to build a club, so the first thing to do is to hire administrative staff.

After all, Li Shiyin is only one person, and the work classification requires more people to share the tasks.

Some money cannot be saved until the staff is in place.

Finally, it’s about renting venues and buying players.

But Ai Luo's plan is to prepare the team to start from the lowest level of the league and cultivate loyal fans at the grassroots level.

The requirements for players are not very high.

It is good if they can smoothly move up from the lower levels.

Therefore, the supporting facilities at the beginning The requirements are not very high, and these are all coordinated with the government.

The Hunan University football field is leased to Changsha Star City Football Club for free.

After Xiaoxiang Daily broke the news that Ai Luo was investing in building a football club, Chinese sports newspapers were like sharks smelling blood, sending reporters to follow up and report.

At this time, Ai Luo had already taken a direct flight from Changsha Huanghua Airport to London, so domestic reporters could only find his domestic spokesperson Li Shiyin.

In order to maintain the confidentiality of all plans, Li Shiyin did not reveal too much information in the subsequent interview.

She only admitted that some of the revelations in Xiaoxiang Daily were correct, but this information was enough to cause a sensation in the country.

Especially the local fans in Hunan who love football.

They claim that they will become loyal fans of the Ailuo team.

Even if it is rumored to start from a low-level league, they will continue to follow and support it.

Of course, some people support it, but others will question it, even if Ai Luo is now the number one player in Chinese sports.

There is no shortage of clowns in this world, especially those who publish posts on major portals just to become famous overnight.

They thought that publishing important opinions would cause a sensation among fans and thus increase their popularity, but what they didn't expect was that they would soon encounter collective criticism from netizens.

Since Ai Luo's debut, he has done a lot of charity work in the country. , there are now no less than 100 Hope Primary Schools and teaching buildings named after him in China.

So these so-called experts quickly shut up.

Of course, there are also rational fans who take a wait-and-see attitude.

Investments in modern society are all about returns, and no one will give selflessly.

Moreover, for a club of such a scale founded by Aiello, this is not something he can afford alone.

Purchasing land to build a football field and a training base cannot be accomplished without a few billions in total.

In addition, Forbes announced last year According to the income ranking of sports superstars, Aiello only ranks fourth with an income of 53 million U.S. dollars, first in football.

When converted into RMB, it is only more than 300 million.

This means that Ai Luo needs ten years of stable income to fill up the income.

Therefore, Still look at the problem with a wait-and-see attitude.

Soon, fans with connections to government officials slowly began to reveal the news online that Changsha Xingsha Football Club has a registered capital of 100 million.

This is impossible for a club that has always been in a low-level league.

Therefore, many fans Just conclude that all the news previously reported by Xiaoxiang Daily is authentic.

In addition, the Xingsha District Planning Bureau suddenly announced the latest planning map that should have been released in March.

Due to the need for temporary adjustments, the release time was adjusted to May, which made them even more sure of the authenticity of the revelations.

Ai Luo arrived in London on the afternoon of the 14th.

On the night of the 15th, Chelsea had an FA Cup 18 final at home, against Watford of the English Championship.

Mourinho considered that Aiello had participated in the World Cup qualifiers and long-distance flight, and there was another league game four days later, so he did not enter the 18-man match in the FA Cup final.

Of course, other international players whose physical condition is not obvious have not been included in the game squad.

After all, this is just a match against a lower-tier team in the English Championship, and Mourinho has not yet attracted the attention of Mourinho.

You can't use a bull's-eye to kill a chicken, use substitutes.

Teams of players, reserves and youth team players are enough to cope.

In the end, Chelsea won the game 3:1 at home and entered the quarterfinals of the 2008-2009 English FA Cup.

There are only two crucial games for Mourinho in the following games.

The first is the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 18-finals against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu eight days later, and the second is the new Wembley on the 3rd next month.

The Carabao Cup final against Manchester United at the Stadium.

During this period, Ai Luo also kept in touch with Li Shiyin and Tan Xi.

Regarding the club construction issue, Ai Luo was satisfied that everything went smoothly.

I have a deeper understanding of my ability to do things.

In particular, they contacted the oil tycoons in the Middle East and expressed strong interest in Ai Luo's new football club's home stadium in China.

Ai Luo really didn't expect that in just five days after he returned to London, Li Shiyin would handle all these matters in an orderly manner and contact the main sponsor who was interested in the stadium.

Such efficiency also allows Aiello to be distracted on the court.

Mourinho didn't pay too much attention to the away game against Aston Villa.

What he cared about most was the Champions League 18 final away to Real Madrid.

After all, the league was already 11 points ahead of Manchester United, which ranked second in the league.

The pressure was on It’s not very big, but it’s different in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

If you lose, you’re eliminated.

However, what he is most worried about is the fear of being slapped in the face by his words at the beginning of the season.

Therefore, without too much pressure from the league, he first devotes himself to the Champions League knockout rounds, and six days later there is the League Cup final with Manchester United, a battle.

In the championship game, I believe no team can withstand the temptation, even if the League Cup is just a tasteless championship.

Fortunately, the schedule is relatively fair.

Chelsea will challenge Real Madrid away, and Manchester United will also challenge Inter Milan away.

They are also difficult opponents, and the two teams also have a league game in the League Cup final.

After clearing his mind, Mourinho decided to relax the league match with Wigan Athletic and play with a substitute lineup.

But in the upcoming away games against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, we must pay special attention to As the league rounds become fewer and fewer, as long as Chelsea maintains its points advantage in the league, it can selectively give up some games at the end of the league.

On the 21st, Chelsea challenged Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Aston Villa has been in good form recently and has been unbeaten for 13 rounds in the league.

Compared with Manchester United's home game against Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea's away game against Aston Villa is much more difficult.

The home team relies on 13 games The unbeaten team has climbed to seventh place in the league.

As long as no major mistakes are made, they will participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

Therefore, this league is a game that cannot be missed for Aston Villa.

At least not losing at home.

In this game, except for Ashley Cole who was replaced by Bosingwa due to suspension due to accumulation of yellow cards, Chelsea's other positions were full of main players.

But Aston Villa’s lineup is not bad either.

It has current England internationals such as Heskey and Barry, as well as main players of the England national youth team such as Ashley Young, Agbonlahor and Milner.

It is also very objective.

In addition, football matches are not determined by the level of combat effectiveness on the surface.

Before the game, everyone at Aston Villa was full of confidence in this league, because Chelsea had to take into account the Champions League 18 finals with Real Madrid, and Aston Villa only had the league to play, and there was no distraction at all.

Maybe the winning rate of the game is higher But when the game really started, their pre-game confidence was ruthlessly shattered by Aiello.

In the fifth minute, Aston Villa's single defensive midfielders Barry and Luke Young defended Chelsea's quick counterattack, each holding their own defensive positions.

They kept Ai Luo's offensive methods in mind and did not dare to neglect them.

Barry blocked Ai Luo's attack.

Cutting route, and Luke Young stood in the bottom route of Aiello, which is a common method used by Chelsea's league opponents to deal with Aiello.

Logically speaking, he should have been able to defend Aiello at the beginning of the game.

However, when Aiello dribbled the ball to about 35 meters away from the goal, Drogba suddenly stepped forward, which subconsciously distracted Barry.

He took the opportunity to swipe the ball to the right, widen the angle, and then pick up his right foot without warning.

Barry instinctively stretched his foot to block the shot, and at this moment, a bang sounded in his ears.

This was the sound of Aiello's right foot hitting the football firmly on the instep.

The football was as fast as a fired cannonball, almost grazing the tip of Barry's fallen shoe as it flew towards the goal.

The veteran American goalkeeper Friedel stood on the line of the small penalty area and did not realize that Aiello took a long shot from such a distance.

This way of handling the ball was rarely seen in his career.

Facing the football that suddenly appeared in his sight, Friedel subconsciously lifted his feet off the ground, leaned back, and raised his right palm.

His movements were extremely graceful, but these did not help in any way to save the ball.

The football was violently blasted into the goal by Ai Luo "gooooooooooooooooooa" It took Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker a long time to react.

Mourinho, who was standing in the visiting team's command area at Villa Park, was stunned for a moment, and then he high-fived his assistant Villas-Boas in celebration.

Aiello is very comprehensive, but long-range goals in sports battles are rare.

He prefers to dribble the ball to 25 meters before starting to attack.

Direct long shots from 30 meters away are almost unprecedented in handling the ball.

At this time, Real Madrid coach Juan Ramos, who was sitting in the neutral fan section of the Villa Park Stadium, saw this goal and frowned instinctively.

In his impression, Ai Luo had never attempted to score from such a long distance. , but why try it before the Champions League 18 finals?

What's more important is getting in

Will this be a smoke bomb for the next Champions League knockout rounds:
