Seeing the expressions of these fan representatives, Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Everyone is right, the remaining 800 million US dollars will still be used for the affairs of the Manchester United team." It is mainly used for the refurbishment, expansion and transfer of the stadium. The current Old Trafford, although it is called the Theatre of Dreams by all our Manchester United fans, is yet to be recognized by everyone. My goal is to make Old Trafford a true theatre of dreams. As you may have noticed, Old Trafford has been closed to the public since the end of the season as refurbishment and expansion work has begun. ”

After a pause, Jiang Feng continued: "For this project, I plan to invest at least half a billion dollars!" Once completed, Old Trafford will be a supercourse capable of accommodating more than 120,000 people at the same time. ”

As soon as Jiang Feng's words fell, the scene was full of exclamations.

Old Trafford has been Manchester United's home stadium since 1910 and took eight years (1941 to 1949) to repair during German air raids in World War II. As a result, Manchester United had to move to the same club Manchester City's Maine Road match.

The course was expanded in the 1990s and 2000s. Both the east and west stands have been extended to the second level, while the north stand has been extended to the third level.

The most noteworthy feature of Old Trafford is the North Stand. On 17 March 1995, Manchester United chairman Edwards announced the completion of the renovation of the imposing North Grandstand, which cost £19 million, with a total of 4,000 tonnes of steel and 4,500 tonnes of cement supporting the massive grandstand, which has the largest cantilevered roof in Europe. Its seating capacity has increased to 25,110, and the second level of the three-level grandstand is topped by 31 luxurious "sky boxes". In addition to this, the importance of the North Stand lies in the control center, the studio and the famous Red Devil Coffee House located at the top of its west corner.

Old Trafford is best known for its West Stand, also known as the Stretford section. Traditionally. It's home to United's die-hard fans and the noisiest part of the stadium. Originally designed to accommodate 20,000 spectators, the West Stand was the latest to add a roof and eventually remove the open-air stepped stand.

The redevelopment of the West Stand was scheduled for the 1992-93 season and was carried out by the construction firm Alfred McAlpine. When the second level of the West Stand was completed in 2000, a large number of fans who had previously gathered at the "Stand K" gathered there, leaving it filled with slogans and flags, and it was the place where the authentic United culture was best preserved. Manchester United star Dennis Brown. Law, known as the "King of Stretford", now has a bronze statue of him on the top floor of the West Stand in his honour.

The East Stand is the second in Old Trafford to be converted into an open-air stepped stand, after Sir Alex Ferguson's Grandstand. The East Stand is also known as the Scoreboard Stand. Because the stadium's scoreboard is located in this stand. The East Stand currently has a capacity of 12,000 fans and is a disabled and visiting fan area. There are 170 seats in the disabled area, and free seats are available for accompanying caregivers.

In the past, Old Trafford allocated seats to each section of the house in letters, and the East Stand was formerly the 'Stand K', where fans loved to cheer the club on with their singing. However, due to the redevelopment of the stadium, the fans of the "K Stand" have now moved to the second level of the West Stand, but they will still cheer for the United with their singing.

The East Stand is also home to the club's administrative centre, where Manchester United's staff, staff of the Manchester United Catalogue, staff of the Official Manchester United website and other administrative staff are located. The advertising image department will often promote it in front of the East Stand. Most often used to promote Nike's new products, the Munich Air Crash Clock is also located at the junction of the East and South Stands.

The South Stand was formerly the main grandstand at Old Trafford. Although it is only one floor of the stands, it has the largest number of wings in the whole stadium. All VIPs who come to Old Trafford will be placed in the South Stand. And the media reporters will sit in the south stand and watch the center. This gives them a good and clear angle to watch the game. And the lens of the TV is located in the South Stand, so the landscape on the TV is the view of the South Stand. The commentators' wings are also located in the South Stand, with MUTV's wings to the east and others such as the BBC and Sky to the west.

Reserve seats are located in front of the centre of the South Stand. The height is higher than the grass, allowing the team leader and coach to have a wider view of the game.

On the inside of the two benches is Old Trafford's old Players' Tunnel, which was deactivated in 1993. This passage is the only remaining part of the original Old Trafford stadium from 1910. Others have been destroyed by the artillery fire of World War II.

The current player tunnel is located at the southwest corner of the stadium, and the entrance has been enlarged to prevent emergencies. When some events require large machines to enter the grass, the seats above the entrance of the aisle can be raised to 25 feet (7.6 meters) high, allowing them to pass through.

The Players' Tunnel connects to the players' dressing rooms and includes TV interviews and a player's lounge area.

The expansion plan of Jiangfeng this time is to expand the east, south and west stands of the stadium together.

Relatively speaking, it was relatively easy to expand the east and west stands, but it was quite difficult to expand the south stands. Due to the proximity of the South Grandstand to the railway, the railway station and tracks need to be relocated. In addition, Manchester United will need to acquire about 50 homes near the train tracks at a total cost of £1 million.

These projects, before Jiang Feng acquired Manchester United, were completed by Manchester United Club, which was quite difficult. However, now that Jiang Feng is rich and rich, such a project is nothing.

Therefore, Jiang Feng decided to expand the three stands together in one step.

Not only that, Jiang Feng also plans to carry out large-scale expansion in the northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest directions of the course.

When completed, the capacity of Old Trafford will increase from the current 68,000 to around 128,000, nearly doubling its original capacity.

However, the excitement of these fans does not end there, Jiang Feng continued: "At the same time, I will also build a new modern training base to improve the training level of Manchester United's teams. ”

Jiang Feng's voice landed, and the scene was applauded. The Manchester United fans present couldn't help but cheer and applaud Jiang Feng's move.

Turning Old Trafford into a real theater of dreams and building a modern training base fully proves that Jiang Feng really loves Manchester United, otherwise he would not have spent so much money on it.

In the end, Jiang Feng said loudly: "Also, I will promise that every year I will inject 100 million US dollars into Manchester United for the introduction of players in the team, and I will build Manchester United into an invincible 'space fleet'!" ”

Jiang Feng's words completely mobilized the passion of all Manchester United fans on the scene.

In the past, these Manchester United fans read the newspaper every summer and could only envy Real Madrid in La Liga for having money and buying superstars every year. Although Manchester United has occasionally made big moves, such as bringing in Rio Ferdinand for 30 million, most of the time, they can only watch other giants take superstars away one by one.

Now they also finally have their own "Florentino" (president of Real Madrid), no, a more "Florentino" president than "Florentino".

Many reporters at the scene were also excited. I was expecting the big-rich man who had just joined the two Premier League clubs to make crazy moves in the summer, but now before the transfer window opens, Jiang Feng has announced a strategy of investing $100 million a year in recruitment, which is undoubtedly exciting.

Since Jiang Fengdu is already like this, presumably that Russian rich man will not be willing to be lonely, right? That's what all the journalists thought.

However, there are people who are not interested in asking a question that makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm Calderon, a reporter for The Sun. You just said that they will spend $100 million a year to bring in players, so why would Manchester United sell a team pillar like David Beckham? ”

Calderon, a reporter from The Sun, asked the enthusiasm of the Manchester United fans present to drop all at once.

Yes, if so much money is invested in reinforcements every year, why would a top star of the team like David Beckham be sold? You know, David Beckham is Manchester United's most popular star and the top name of Manchester United. However, it is not a good phenomenon that such an important person is going to be sold by Manchester United.

Jiang Feng looked at the "Sun" reporter who aroused the emotions of fans with contempt, and said: "Mr. Beckham's transfer is his own will. David Beckham has made an outstanding contribution to the team for more than a decade at Manchester United, and now that is the year of play, as the owner of the team, I am very willing to leave such a world-renowned star behind. However, we Chinese have two ancient sayings, one is called a strong twisted melon is not sweet, and the other is called being in Cao Ying's heart in Han. Now Mr David Beckham is not willing to stay at Manchester United, and if I force him to stay, it will be not only bad for him, but also for the team. So, after he expressed his intention to move to the team, our club accepted a number of transfer requests from other clubs. ”

After a pause, Jiang Feng continued: "Moreover, Mr. Beckham's transfer does not contradict the recruitment work of our team. The introduction of reinforcements is to adjust and supplement the strength of the team, we can't say that Mr. Beckham has transferred, and the strength of our team has declined. Let's wait and see, Manchester United will bring in a large number of quality players this summer. ”

Jiang Feng's words made the fan representatives present excited again. (To be continued.) )
