Chapter 161: Shanghai Fantasy
So, none of the players or staff at the club felt disheartened by the club’s change in ownership. On the contrary, everyone was filled with enthusiasm.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xidi couldn’t help but exclaim, “Damn, having money is great! You can play however you want. The team has become the Asian version of Chelsea, aiming to use financial power to support domestic football!”
After Yi Xidi and the team’s coach and players had all bid their farewells, he left the club’s training base because it no longer belonged to him.
From now on, whenever he visited, he would come as a fan and spectator.
“Manager Zhao, Coach Zhao, there’s an important matter regarding the club that I need to tell everyone. In the next few days, you’ll need to organize the relocation of the club’s training base. The training base and the adjacent stadium will be demolished and rebuilt. For this season, your training and matches will be held at the Olympic Sports Center.”
“I will coordinate with the municipal government and the sports bureau about the specific rental arrangements, and will also arrange new accommodation for everyone near the Olympic Sports Center. In short, the club’s main goal this half-season is to successfully avoid relegation. Our boss is committed to the club’s development plans and investment.”
“You’ve seen it, but I can tell you that what you see now is just a small part. The club will gradually undertake large-scale investment plans. Both hardware and software facilities will match those of European top clubs. So, in the new season next year, you don’t need to worry about your positions on the team. The team’s development will only bring in more people, not reduce them.”
Coach Zhao Tuiqiang and club manager Zhao Chengxiang understood from Wu Zhengwei’s words that they would need to overcome the difficulties of relocation and adapting to the new environment.
