Chapter 1595 William visits Manchester City
At this moment, William, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, arrived in Manchester after several hours of driving.
His team headed straight to the training center of Manchester City Club, and all the club's executives and the entire coaching staff have been waiting here for a long time.
In this old imperialist country, most people still have a very deep relationship with the royal family, so the visit of important members of the royal family is a very important event for any British club or even company. Moreover, there are too few Premier League clubs that can enjoy this honor.
Because of this, Manchester City clubs are very excited about William's arrival.
William came this time and brought the royal photographer team of the royal family, because this visit was not a secret visit, but to make it public to the media and the outside world. However, in order to open up a time gap, the strategy he adopted was the same as Li Mu's visit to Buckingham Palace. He came in a low-key first and then left and then made a high-profile publicity to the outside world.
The team had just stopped down the Manchester City Club office building, and several photographers sitting in the first car had quickly gotten out of the car and installed their photography equipment. Then, William, who was sitting in the third car, stepped out of the car after the driver opened the door.
When William came out of the car, Ceo Arist immediately came forward, shook hands with William enthusiastically and nervously, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, welcome your visit! I am Ceo Arist of Manchester City Club, and I am honored to see you."
William smiled modestly and said, "Hello Mr. Arist, I have heard of your name for a long time for a long time. I finally had the opportunity to see it today, and I feel very honored."
Arist hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you are so kind. I heard you are coming. All our players and staff have been waiting since the morning."
As he said that, Arist introduced executives, including the head coach, to William one by one.
After shaking hands with everyone one by one, William smiled and said, "Thank you so much. I didn't want to cause trouble for everyone, but I am a loyal fan of Manchester City and have never had the opportunity to visit. This time I really hope to come and meet you before you go to play the third game of this season."
Manchester City Club has been established for more than 100 years, and no royal family has ever visited. Moreover, Prince William not only claims to be a loyal fan, but also drove from such a distance for several hours, which really gave Manchester City Club a face.
At this time, William said again: "By the way, Mr. Arist, there is one more thing to bother you and Manchester City Club."
Arist hurriedly said, "Prince, please tell me."
William said: "Tomorrow I want to go to Blackburn to watch your away game against Blackburn. I hope to go to the players' locker room to say hello to everyone. If possible, please arrange it for me."
Arister didn't expect that Prince William would go to Blackburn to watch the team's game. He was so excited that he couldn't help but wonder, what Prince William was doing? Why did he suddenly become the team's loyalty? It's not enough to come to the club to express condolences, and he also has to watch the team's game. The home court is better, so you can watch it by staying here, but the next game is away, which means that he has to tossed from London today and will have to tossed to Blackburn tomorrow.
However, the next second, Arist understood the reason.
He suddenly thought of his boss Li Mu, and then recalled Prince William's actions on education during this period, and he immediately realized it!
The reason why Prince William suddenly became a loyal fan of Manchester City club must be that he was repaying Li Mu's favor.
After understanding this level, all Prince William's behavior immediately became reasonable in Arist's eyes.
Then, Arist hurriedly said to William: "Your Highness, if you go to Blackburn tomorrow, I will arrange a VIP box for you and say hello in advance. You can enter and exit the player's lounge at will before the start and in the midfield."
William hurriedly asked him: "Is this too troublesome for you? I don't need a VIP box, as long as I can enter the road lounge."
Arist explained that he loves: "As a away team, we will solve two VIP boxes for us, which is a routine in the game."
William nodded, thanked him, and said, "Mr. Arist, if it is convenient now, please take me to meet the players."
Arist hurriedly said, "No problem, let's go to the training base first, and then I'll accompany you to visit the exhibition hall of our club."
William smiled slightly: "Okay."
In fact, William's main purpose this time is to help Manchester City club support the scene, which is also considered to be his reciprocity to Li Mu before going to China.
His father, Prince Charles, is more scheming than him. He guessed Li Mu's real intention to buy Manchester City Club, so he specifically reminded William that when he came to Manchester City Club this time, he must focus on contacting the two Chinese players. Not only should he give them more encouragement and recognition, but he should also express his desire to see more Chinese players play in the Premier League, which will greatly cater to Li Mu's psychology.
Charles analyzed Li Mu and felt that as a genuine nationalist, Li Mu must be more inclined to the Chinese nation in this kind of thing. Therefore, based on his premonition, what Li Mu attaches most importance to is the development of these two Chinese players in the UK.
William deeply agreed with his father's observation and analysis, so on the way he came, he kept contacting the Chinese pronunciation of the names of Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo.
At this time, on the Manchester City training ground, the home team players knew that Prince William was coming and had been waiting for a long time.
When Prince William came to the training ground accompanied by Arist and others, the players were all very excited, especially the local British players. Before shaking hands with Prince William, they had to give a gentleman's greeting, and their every move was respect and feelings for the royal family.
Although Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo were not so excited, they were somewhat nervous. They had never seen the British royal family, and they were the second heir of the second place, so they must be a little nervous.
Prince William shook hands with all the players one by one. When he came to Ronaldo, he specially praised him: "You are Cristiano Ronaldo, right? I heard your club owner Mr. Li Mu mentioned you, and he praised you endlessly. Moreover, in the last game, your first show was really wonderful, and Mr. Li Mu's vision was indeed very accurate!"
C Luo smiled shyly and said, "Your Highness, you have been too proud. I have not done well enough. I will try my best to perform better in the future."
William smiled and said, "So talented and so humble, Mr. Ronaldo, I am very optimistic about your future career and hope that you can work together with Manchester City and grow together."
C Luo nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "Prince, please rest assured, I will!"
William nodded slightly and came to the Chinese players beside him with a smile.
He first came to Sun Jihai, looked at the jersey number in front of Sun Jihai, and according to his memory, he spoke three not very standard Chinese: "Ni Shishun-Chicken-Chicken-Child?"
Although Prince William's pronunciation was not standard enough, Sun Jihai quickly understood what he said, and asked in English with a surprised and pleasantry look: "How can Your Highness know my name..."
Prince William smiled slightly and said in English: "I am a loyal fan of Manchester City. How could I not know you, the iron guard of Manchester City? Your performance in the team is excellent and has also allowed British audiences to see the excellence of Chinese football players. I hope you can continue to work hard and become a role model for Chinese football players in the Premier League, so as to attract more Chinese football players to the UK and Europe to develop."
Sun Jihai suddenly felt a little moved, nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise, I will definitely do my best!"
Prince William shook hands with him again and said with a smile: "I will go to Blackburn to watch your game tomorrow. I wish you good performance in advance."
Sun Jihai said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince."
Then, Prince William came to Dong Fangzhuo again and said with a smile: "You should be Dong Fang Table, right?"
Dong Fangzhuo understood Prince William's poor Chinese, but he was poor in English, and his personality was shy, so he was a little overly nervous and said stutteringly: "Yeah-Yeah, yeah...ah Aim..."
Seeing that he was very nervous, Prince William smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous. I heard that you are one of the most promising young players in China. He also welcomes you to the UK and Manchester City. I also hope you can perform well here."
Dong Fangzhuo couldn't understand a lot of English that he spoke. Fortunately, there was a Chinese translation specially assigned to him by a club. The other party directly translated this sentence into Chinese and told him.
After hearing this, Dong Fangzhuo nodded repeatedly and said stutteringly: "thank-you."
Prince William smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome, come on, I hope I can see you play for Manchester City as soon as possible."
Head coach Kevin Keegan smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince, tomorrow against Blackburn, we have plans to let Dong Fangzhuo come on as a substitute in the second half."
"Oh?" Prince William asked in surprise: "Will you have a chance to appear tomorrow?"
Kevin Keegan nodded and smiled, "We will try our best to arrange Dong Fangzhuo to appear and experience it."
Prince William said with approval: "This is great. Only by playing games can you integrate into the team as quickly as possible."
Then, William shook hands with other Manchester City players to say hello one by one, and the whole process was captured by the royal photographer's camera.
In a few hours, these materials will be roughly cut and sent to major British media. The news of his visit to Manchester City Club will also be broadcast in the evening news.
Manchester City Club has made headlines in major British mainstream media several times because of Li Mu and Li Mu's anger at Manchester United shareholders and head coaches. This time, the popularity is probably not inferior to the previous few times...
