Chapter 1595 William's Visit to Manchester City

At this moment, William, who was far across the ocean, successfully arrived in Manchester after a few hours' drive.

His team went straight to the Manchester City club's training centre, where all the club's executives, and the entire coaching staff, had been waiting for a long time.

In this old imperialist country, most people still have a very deep affection for the royal family, so the visit of important members of the royal family is a very important event for any British club or even a company. , There are too few Premier League clubs that can enjoy this honor.

Because of this, the top and bottom of the Manchester City club are very excited about Willian's arrival.

This time, William brought the royal family's team of photographers, because this visit is not a secret visit, but to be open to the media and the outside world, but in order to make a time difference, he adopted the same strategy as Li Mu's visit to Buckingham Palace , come in a low-key first, and then leave a high-profile publicity.

The team had just stopped under the office building of the Manchester City Club. Several photographers in the first car quickly got out of the car and set up their photography equipment. Later, William in the third car opened the door before the driver. Afterwards, he stepped out of the car.

When William got out of the car, CEO Alister immediately walked up to him, shook hands with William enthusiastically and nervously, and said sincerely: "His Royal Highness, welcome your visit! I'm Ali, CEO of Manchester City Club. Sterling, it's an honor to meet you."

William smiled humbly: "Hello, Mr. Alister, it's been a long time since I heard your name. Today, I finally have the opportunity to meet you. It's a great honor."

Allister hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, you are too polite. I heard that you are coming. All our players and staff have been waiting since the morning."

Having said that, Arist introduced the executives including the head coach to William one by one.

After William shook hands with everyone one by one, he smiled and said: "It's really hard work, I didn't want to cause trouble to everyone, but I am a diehard Manchester City fan and I have never had the opportunity to come and visit. Come over to meet you guys before you go out for your third game of the season."

Manchester City Club has been established for more than 100 years, and no member of the royal family has ever visited. Moreover, not only does Prince William claim to be a diehard fan, but he even drove for hours from such a far away place, which really gave Manchester City enough. Club face.

At this time, William said again: "By the way, Mr. Allister, there is one more thing to trouble you and Manchester City Club."

Aristor hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, please speak.

"

William said: "I want to go to Blackburn tomorrow to watch your away game against Blackburn. I hope to say hello to everyone in the players' locker room. If possible, please help me arrange it."

Arist did not expect that Prince William would even go to Blackburn to watch the team's game. In addition to being excited, he couldn't help but wonder, what is Prince William doing? How did he suddenly become a die-hard fan of the team? It’s not enough to come to the club to offer condolences. We also need to watch the team’s games. The home court is better, so you can watch it if you stay here, but the key next game is the away game, which means that he came from London today and will be back tomorrow. To toss to Blackburn.

However, in the next second, Arister wanted to understand the reason.

He suddenly thought of his boss Li Mu, and then thought of Prince William's actions on education issues during this period, and he immediately had an epiphany!

The reason why Prince William suddenly became a diehard fan of Manchester City Club must be to repay Li Mu's favor.

After thinking about this level, all of Prince William's actions immediately became reasonable in Arist's eyes.

Afterwards, Allister hurriedly said to William: "His Royal Highness, if you come to Blackburn tomorrow, I will arrange a VIP box for you, say hello in advance, you can enter and leave the players at will before the opening and midfield. lounge."

William hurriedly asked him: "Is this too much trouble for you? I don't need a VIP box, as long as I can enter the lounge."

Arist explained Duai: "As an away team, the home team will give us two VIP boxes, which is the norm in the game."

William then nodded, thanked him, and said, "Mr. Arist, if it's convenient now, please take me to see the players."

Allister said hurriedly: "No problem, let's go to the training base first, and then I will accompany you to visit the exhibition hall of our club."

William smiled slightly: "Okay."

In fact, the main purpose of William's visit this time was to help Manchester City to support the scene. It was also considered to be his return to Li Mu before he went to China.

His father, Prince Charles, is more sophisticated than him. He guessed Li Mu's real intention to buy Manchester City Club, so he specially reminded William that he must focus on having more contact with the two Chinese players when he comes to Manchester City Club this time. Give them more encouragement and recognition, and also express their desire to see more Chinese players play in the Premier League, which will cater to Li Mu's psychology to a great extent.

Charles analyzed Li Mu and felt that Li Mu, as an out-and-out nationalist, must be more inclined to the Chinese nation in this matter. Therefore, according to his hunch, Li Mu should pay the most attention to these two Chinese people. Player development in the UK.

William agreed with his father's observation and analysis, so on the way, he kept in touch with the Chinese pronunciation of the names of Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo.

At the Manchester City training ground at this time, the home team players knew that Prince William was coming and had been waiting for a long time.

When Prince William, accompanied by Arist and others, came to the training ground, the players were very excited, especially the British players. Before shaking hands with Prince William, they had to give a gentleman's salute. Royal respect and affection.

Although Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo were not so excited, they were somewhat nervous. They had not seen the British royal family before, and they must be a little nervous when they came up to be the second-in-line heir as a heavyweight new-generation prince.

Prince William shook hands with all the players one by one, and when he came to Ronaldo, he praised him: "You are Cristiano Ronaldo, right? I have heard your club owner Mr. Li Mu Li mention you, but he doesn't like you. Absolutely, and, in the last game, your first show was really wonderful, Mr. Li Mu's vision is really accurate!"

Ronaldo smiled shyly and said: "His Royal Highness, you have won the prize. I haven't done well enough. I will try my best to play better in the future."

William smiled and said: "So talented and so humble, Mr. Ronaldo, I am very optimistic about your future career, and I hope you can work together and grow together with Manchester City."

C Luo nodded again and again and said seriously: "Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, I will!"

William nodded slightly and came to the Huaxia players beside him with a smile.

He first came to Sun Jihai, glanced at the jersey number in front of Sun Jihai, and said three non-standard Chinese according to memory: "Ni Shishun-chicken-child?"

Although Prince William's pronunciation was not standard enough, Sun Jihai quickly understood what he said, and asked in English with a look of surprise and surprise: "How does His Royal Highness know my name..."

Prince William smiled slightly and said in English: "I am a diehard Manchester City fan, how can I not know you, the iron defender of Manchester City, you have performed very well in the team, and also let the British audience see Chinese football. Excellent athletes, I hope you can continue to work hard and become a model for Chinese football players to develop in the Premier League, thereby attracting more Chinese football players to the UK and Europe for development."

Sun Jihai was suddenly moved, and nodded again and again and said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your praise, I will definitely do my best!"

Prince William shook hands with him again and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will go to Blackburn to watch your game and wish you a good performance in advance."

Sun Jihai said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Afterwards, Prince William came to Dong Fangzhuo again and said with a smile, "You should be the East-Fang-Table, right?"

Dong Fangzhuo understood Prince William's broken Chinese, but his English was relatively poor, coupled with his shy personality, he was suddenly a little too nervous, and stammered: "Ye-ye die, hey...hey Aim... "

Seeing him very nervous, Prince William smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "Don't be so nervous, I heard that you are one of the most promising young players in China, and you are very welcome to come to England and Manchester City. , and I hope you can do well here.”

Dong Fangzhuo couldn't understand the large string of English he said. Fortunately, there was a Chinese translation specially assigned to him by a club beside him. The other party directly translated this sentence into Chinese and told him.

After hearing this, Dong Fangzhuo nodded again and again, and stammered, "Thank-you."

Prince William smiled and said: "You're welcome, come on, I hope to see you play for Manchester City as soon as possible."

Head coach Kevin Keegan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, against Blackburn Rovers tomorrow, we plan to have Dong Fangzhuo come off the bench in the second half."

"Oh?" Prince William asked in surprise: "Is there a chance to appear tomorrow?"

Kevin Keegan nodded and said with a smile, "We will try our best to arrange Dong Fangzhuo to experience it."

Prince William said with approval: "This is very good. Only by playing games can you integrate into the team as quickly as possible."

Afterwards, William shook hands with other Manchester City players one by one and said hello, and the whole process was captured by the camera of the royal photographer.

After a few hours, the footage will be rough-cut and sent to major British media. News of his visit to Manchester City will also be broadcast on the evening news.

Manchester City Club has been on the headlines of major British mainstream media several times in a row because of Li Mu and Li Mu’s anger at Manchester United’s shareholders and head coach. This time, I am afraid that the popularity will not be inferior to the previous few. Second-rate……

CEO Arist has a hunch that in this season's Premier League, Manchester City may become the team with the most attention.
