Just when the "Tang Tang factions" spared no effort to criticize Tang Feng for being misleading in the transfer market and buying parallel goods.

As the leader of the "Tang Dynasty", the Daily Sports Daily broke a big news on the front page of the next day!

"The chairman injects another $50 million, and Betis is going to renovate a five-star stadium!"

The article reads that Betis Chairman Donson and Chairman Fantastic Don will once again inject $50 million into the club. This fund will be used to rebuild the south stands and the facilities of the stadium. While expanding the capacity of the stadium, the new stadium will also meet the standards of UEFA five-star stadiums!

At the same time, the article also mentioned that after the renovation of the new stadium, it will also have a new name, and will no longer be called Lopela Stadium!

Once this news was announced, it caused a stir in Spanish football!

You know, two seasons ago, Betis was just a down-and-out relegation team, and the club was plagued by debts. Later, their chairman also broke the scandal of using the club for personal gain.

However, this series of blows not only did not bring this traditional Spanish powerhouse to decline, but instead turned to a new life.

After being relegated, he returned to La Liga in his first season. In his first season, he became the double champion of the league and the League Cup, creating a more magical update myth than Kaiserslautern!

Now, Betis is actually going to convert his home court into a UEFA five-star stadium. Betis's development over the past two years has made all Spanish teams incredible.

Traditional La Liga giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia have felt unprecedented pressure, while some mid- and lower-level teams are envious of Betis. In their opinion, Betis has undoubtedly completed a "diaosi counterattack" in the past two years, and they are also "diaosi" and regard Betis as their goal of their efforts!

In this way, Betis actually had a vague sense of the spokesperson for small and medium-sized clubs in the La Liga.

In fact, the next few seasons will be the days when Betis will fight against traditional tycoons on behalf of small and medium-sized clubs. Of course, this is all a story later.

The one who is most excited about this news is undoubtedly Betis' fans.

In the past two years, Betis has not only followed the giant team in terms of record, but now the stadium is also preparing to move closer to the giant team. Such ambition undoubtedly makes them feel excited!

Which fan doesn't want the club they support to become a giant team?

In order to show their support for the club, some hardcore Betis fans even collectively suggested that the club raise the price of season tickets so that they can do their part to build the club stadium!

The support of fans makes the club feel very warm, but the club still politely rejects the fans' kindness. They will not pass on some consumption to the fans at will.

In fact, once the new stadium is completed, tickets and consumption in the stadium will increase to a certain extent, but this is reasonable and changes within the range of the fans' endurance.

Fans are also very supportive of the name change of the stadium.

Long after Lopera used the club for personal gain, fans suggested that the club change the name of the stadium because they thought it would be very disgusting to hear the name Lopera!

However, at that time, Tang Feng and Tang Sen were both pursuing a legitimate name, so they did not rush to change their name. Now, the stadium is about to be rebuilt, so it is natural to change its name at this time.

Fans also provided some suggestions independently, including "Magic Tang Stadium", "Green and White Stadium", "Green Rugby Stadium", "Betis Stadium", etc., a series of names have been brought up by fans.

Among them, the "Magic Tang Stadium" is the highest call.

Obviously, the magical Don, who led Betis to complete two-level jumps in two seasons, has become the most prestigious person in the minds of Betis fans!

In their opinion, since that bastard chairman could name the stadium after his own name back then, why can't the magical Tang, who has made so many contributions to the team become the name of the stadium?

These suggestions were adopted by the club one by one, and said that in the following days, the club will hold a fan voting activity to determine the name of the new stadium.

As the enthusiastic fans calmed down, many people found that the name "Strange Tang Stadium" was a bit inappropriate. Firstly, after all, Shenyang Tang was too young, only twenty-six years old, and they could not guarantee whether he would stay in Betis in the future. Secondly, some fans believed that naming the stadium "Strange Tang Stadium" was a bit unfair to Chairman Tang Sen, who also made such a great contribution to the club.

Due to Tang Feng's low-keyness, in the eyes of fans, most of the funds for the acquisition of the club at the beginning of the year and the funds for the rebuilding of the club this time came from Tang Sen. Therefore, they believed that Tang Sen's contribution to the team was not necessary for Lopela to raise 4 million euros to subscribe to shares when Betis Club was in the most difficult time.

Therefore, if we really want to name the stadium after someone, Tang Sen should also occupy a place!

So, the fans thought of another stadium name, "Down Stadium", and put the surnames of Tang Feng and Tang Sen, the uncle and nephew, into the stadium name.

However, as soon as the name of the stadium was announced, it was opposed by some conservatives. In their opinion, wouldn’t it be like renamed Lopela Stadium to “Down’s Stadium” be acknowledging that this stadium is Down’s private property?

When the two groups of people were in a stalemate, a representative of the Chinese fan in Seville provided a suggestion, which was to name the stadium "Tangren Stadium"!

To the Spanish, the literal translation of Chinatown is actually Chinatown, so doesn’t the Tang people mean China?

But the Chinese fan patiently explained that "Tangren" also has the surname of Shenqi Tang and Chairman Tang Sen in Chinese. In addition, Shenqi Tang and Tang Sen were originally Chinese. Isn't this dual meaning better than the simple "Down Stadium"?

In this way, this name has been accepted by many Betis fans.

Since club chairman Tang Sen and coach Shenqi Tang are both Chinese, and their contributions to the club, Betis fans may be the most acceptable foreign group in China!

Of course, among them, there was still a small group of fans protesting the name "Tangren Stadium". These people were basically the stubborn nationalist fans who opposed the Chinese president's entry into the club.

Obviously, their resistance was limited, otherwise Donson would not be able to sit so firmly in the position of Chairman Betis.

In this way, the name "Tangren Stadium" was also included in the shortlist for the stadium's name change under the recommendation of fans.

When Tang Feng learned about this, he couldn't help but sigh at the interestingness of fate.

He had invested money before whether to rebuild the stadium by injecting capital or by naming rights. In the end, he chose the former, but someone still suggested changing the stadium to "Tangren Stadium". Isn't "Tangren" the name of his venture capital company? If the name of this stadium is really passed, isn't it equivalent to a change of title?

However, Tang Feng did not force the name of the stadium.

In his opinion, as long as the fans like it, the stadium can be called any name!

Fans are only concerned about the renovation of the stadium and the new name of the stadium, but experts are more concerned about the equity issues of Betis Club.

Previously, Tang Sen and Tang Feng had acquired 52% of Lopera's shares together. Adding to his original 8% of the shares, their shares reached 60%.

The evaluation organization's value evaluation results of Betis Club are equivalent to about $100 million. After Tang Feng and Tang Sen invested $50 million together, their shares also rose to 73%.

The reason for investing 50 million US dollars is that after Tang Sen found someone to evaluate the budget for the stadium renovation plan, he found that Tang Feng’s 45 million US dollars might not be enough, so Tang Sen also added 5 million US dollars and raised 50 million US dollars, which basically meets the preliminary budget for the stadium renovation.

Of course, Betis is just a rebuilding stadium. If a new stadium is built, the funds will be much more than tens of millions. Otherwise, Arsenal would not have to tighten his belt to live by building stadiums in the future.

Last year, in order to host the 06 World Cup, Dortmund's home court, Westfaren Stadium, also underwent a series of modernization renovations, expanding the seat capacity to 67,000 and connecting the four stands, totaling more than 40 million euros.

The stands of the Lopela Stadium are in shape of three high and one low on one side. This main reconstruction is to expand the relatively low "South Stand", raising its height to the same level as the other three sides, and connecting the stands on all four sides. In this way, the stadium can be added to about 5,000 seats, and the total number of seats on the stadium will exceed 60,000. According to the attendance rate of the Lopela Stadium in the previous two seasons, the club does not have to worry about no one sitting on the extra 5,000 seats!

In addition to the remodeling of the stands, the renovation plan for Lopera Stadium is mainly to meet the requirements of UEFA's five-star stadium.

You should know that there are as many as 20 requirements for UEFA's five-star stadiums, and Betis Club will also strictly follow these twenty rules to renovate the stadium.

Fortunately, Sevilla is also a big city in Spain. They have an international airport that operates day and night. If it were a small city without an international airport, no matter how luxurious the stadium was, it would not be able to meet the UEFA five-star stadium standard.

While making plans and budgets for the reconstruction of the Lopela Stadium, negotiations between the Betis Club and the Sevilla government on the rental of the Sevilla Olympic Stadium were also very smooth.

Betis helped Sevilla City win back the long-lost league championship and European championship last season, which made the Sevilla government very satisfied. In addition, the maintenance costs of the Olympic Stadium are also a considerable expense for the government, so the government agreed to rent the Olympic Stadium to Betis Club for use without charging any rent. Betis Club only needs to bear the funds for the maintenance of the stadium during the rental.

After successfully renting the Sevilla Olympic Stadium, Betis Club finally had no worries and immediately announced that the renovation plan of Lopela Stadium will be officially implemented before the start of the new season.

The reconstruction of Lopela Stadium is expected to end before the end of this season. Of course, this is just the expected completion time. Historically, the construction and renovation of some stadiums have been almost rarely completed on time. Basically, they will be forced to stop work due to funding issues, which will be postponed. However, Tang Feng would not let such a thing happen, he has prepared sufficient funds.

Even if a certain amount of money is needed in the later stage, Tang Feng is confident that he can provide it. After all, he has the golden rooster that lays eggs in "Legend"!

In Tang Feng's view, he will bring the team back to his home court to play next season at the latest!

...

After deciding on the reconstruction plan for the Lopela Stadium, the club is also preparing to hold a "farewell" game for the Lopela Stadium.

Although this reconstruction will not demolish the Lopela Stadium, after the reconstruction is completed, this stadium will no longer be the "Lopela Stadium", but a brand new stadium!

The opponent in this "farewell match" is also very big, that is, the runner-up of the Champions League last season, Leverkusen, the Bundesliga Sanya king.

This should be the strongest opponent in the Betis warm-up match this summer.

In fact, the warm-up match with Leverkusen was arranged at the beginning of the holiday.

Betis will be in the Champions League in the new season, so the match against a Champions League runner-up team like Leverkusen is undoubtedly of high value.

Leverkusen is also very interested in the match against Betis, the new European champion. The two sides can be said to hit it off and decided to set this warm-up match.

At the same time, this warm-up match will be the last warm-up for Betis before the start of the new season!

Therefore, Tang Feng also attaches great importance to this game.

At Lopera Stadium, Tang Feng released the strongest lineup in his hand.

The single arrow on the front line is Drogba, the double winger is Villa and Joaquin, and the front midfielder is Kaka!

The double midfielders are Xavi Alonso and Guardiola!

From left to right on the back line are Evra, Carvalho, Pablo Alfaro and Alves.

The goalkeeper is still Van der Sar.

Leverkusen's lineup is also excellent. Although their midfielder Barack, last season's midfielder, turned to Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, their strength is still not to be underestimated.

They have German stars such as Butter, Ramilao, Schneider, Novotney, Kirsten and Neuville, as well as excellent foreign players such as Lucio, Placente, Zeroberto and Berbatov!

Today, Betis' fans were also very supportive. The Lopela Stadium, which can accommodate more than 55,000 fans, was almost full. First, they did not want to miss the match between Betis and the Champions League runner-up. Second, they were also saying goodbye to Lopela Stadium in this way!

Before this warm-up match, the representatives of Betis Club also made a speech and summarized the Lopela Stadium in the past few decades.

After this simple speech, the competition officially began!

The Betis team, who played at home, also showed strong momentum amid the cheers of home fans.

At the beginning, Leverkusen, who was the runner-up in the Champions League, was suppressed.

Among them, in the eighth minute, Drogba turned around outside the penalty area and almost broke through Leverkusen's goal.

Fortunately, Leverkusen's famous penalty goalkeeper Butt was very focused and used a magic save to keep the ball out!

The ball also made the Betis fans in the stands sigh with regret.

After resisting the waves of offensives at the Betis team's opening game, Sanya King Leverkusen gradually found the feeling of the game.

In the 16th minute, Berbatov, who was known as the Brother Xiaosha, used the one who was very suitable for his nickname, to shake off a gap in the shooting, and then completed a clever shot!

Fortunately, Van der Sar was also very focused and used a wonderful save that was not inferior to Butte to keep the shot out!
