The second warm-up match between China and Honduras is still held in Wuhan.

This would be fine, so as not to let Chinese fans join the team in the country and go to two cities in just two games, and the accommodation and travel expenses would be doubled.

In fact, this was the case in the past, and you have to change your place every game.

Although it is clearly stipulated that the Chinese team has only seven home courts, namely the Workers' Stadium in Beijing, the Hongkou Football Stadium in Shanghai, the Wuhan Sports Center, the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center, the Changsha Helong Stadium, the Shaanxi Sports Center and the Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center.

But in fact, in the past few years, the Chinese team's warm-up game footprints have been spread all over the country.

This is because the organizer of the Chinese team's game will have to spend on fees, security, venue rent, hotel accommodation and local football association management fees. If it is purely a market behavior, cost recovery can only be achieved through two major rights: box office and on-site advertising investment. Among these two rights, box office is the lifeline. According to the current market conditions, the cost of an ordinary international A-level warm-up match (non-traditional European and American strong teams) is about 2 million yuan. Excluding various tickets, the actual number of ticket purchases needs to reach about 20,000, plus some on-site advertising rights, the organizer can recover the cost. However, in the past two years, with the situation of the Chinese team, it was not easy for the market to really sell 20,000 tickets. There was an example before that a city hosted a friendly match, and the organizer invested 2.2 million yuan, and more than 33,000 people were present to barely guarantee the capital.

Because the Chinese team's performance is really bad, they have not even scored in the top ten games for two consecutive World Cup qualifiers, and Chinese fans' expectations for the national football team have been reduced to the lowest level, and many people don't watch the national team's games at all. Such a market is naturally the reason why the Chinese team has no fixed home court.

The cities where these seven stadiums are located are unwilling to host the Chinese team's game, and the Chinese team can only switch to second- and third-tier cities.

To be precise, 2008 was a turning point. In 2008, the Chinese team was eliminated in the top 20 of the qualifiers in the South African World Cup. The performance of the national Olympic team's shameful loss and loss at the Olympics in the same year made the reputation of Chinese football completely stunning.

Since then, the Chinese team began to live a displaced life. Every national team game requires Fordbao, which is responsible for the Chinese team business, to look for places that are willing to take on Chinese team games. Often, they make countless calls, and others have hit hard on the Chinese team. At that time, there is no longer any hosting fee. If you can find a place that is willing to take on national team games, you will win.

The development trajectory of Chinese football over the years can be seen from the matter of hosting the venue.

In the hottest era of Chinese football, cities in various places had to break the head if they wanted to host national team competitions. The staff of the Football Association and Fordbao Company had no worries about no one doing it. They just needed to choose the one with the highest bid.

But later they went everywhere to ask for help, begging grandpa and grandma, hoping that a city could host the Chinese team's competition.

This gap is really unacceptable.

Now the situation has improved again. After Glory returned, the Chinese team's performance has improved fundamentally. Gao Hongbo's team not only played well, but also won. Winning the Asian Cup was a turning point. Since then, the Chinese team's game has become a hot commodity again, and cities are competing to host it.

Even the seven cities previously stipulated are now rushing to hold national competitions. You should know that among the seven cities in the past, only Xi'an, Shaanxi and Changsha, Hunan were the most active, while Shanghai and Beijing were the least active.

Now the Chinese team's football market is booming, and every game is full of popularity. This has been shown in several warm-up matches in Kunming before the Asian Cup.

Every warm-up match can attract fans from all over the country. Although the influx of these people will bring some public security and transportation pressure to the cities where the competition is hosted, it can greatly promote the prosperity of local hotel accommodation and catering in the cities where the competition is hosted.

The stands of the game stadium were full and the box office revenue surged, which also brought the enthusiasm of merchants for on-site billboards. Therefore, the investment work of on-site billboards was also very smooth. In order to make a good position, several companies would even spend money to raise prices and rob each other...

So now the 2 million yuan commission is nothing.

Box office revenue and advertising revenue can make the organizer make a fortune, not to mention that a large number of fans will drive other incomes in the city after the influx of the crowd.

This time, Wuhan won the hosting rights for two warm-up matches.

The sports center, which can accommodate 60,000 people, was full in the first game, but the ticket revenue was enough to make Wuhan pay back.

The second game of Duras is still full of scenes.

Debola and Wanda's Mr. Wang watched the game in the VIP box.

Although Rongguang did not score in this game, he assisted two goals, helping the Chinese team defeat Honduras 4-1.

He won two consecutive wins in the warm-up match.

After the game, the excited Chinese fans refused to leave. They sang the national anthem outside the stadium, sang songs such as the motherland, and expressed their love for this national team.

Rongguang, along with Debola and Sun Hai, left Wuhan and flew back to Manchester from Beijing.

Chinese fans are beginning to look forward to the next national team match day, and they can celebrate another festival - the current national team match day is almost the same for Chinese fans.

Just two days after returning to Manchester, Rongguang was in the 31st round of the league for home team Sunderland.

If Manchester City can win this game, they will complete the 48th round of the league unbeaten.

The only thing that could stop them was not Sunderland, but perhaps the FIFA virus.

After just participating in the national team competition, Manchester City's international players flew back from all over the world and would inevitably feel tired. If you don't have enough rest, you can imagine how your status is.

But what surprised people was that Manchester City beat Sunderland 5-0 at home, and there was no suspense in the 15th minute, because at that time, Glory had already scored twice...

In the end, Glory scored twice again, with David Silva, Gareth Barry and Barnes scoring one goal respectively.

They are only one game away from Arsenal's record of 49 league unbeaten.

In the next round, a week later, Manchester City will challenge Liverpool away.

Much attention.

"...In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid's opponent is Manchester City. This team is in good shape now. They have not lost forty-eight consecutive league games in the league. Such performance is amazing. If they are still unbeaten in the next round of the league, they can tie the record of 49 unbeaten by Arsenal. The performance in the league may affect the Champions League... Because the next game of Manchester City's league opponent is Liverpool, which is a team that wants to qualify for the Champions League next season. They will not let Manchester City go easily. So is it important to ensure that they do not lose to Liverpool in the league, or is it more important to fight Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals?"

The preview of the Champions League is being played on the TV, and the guests invited by the TV station are analyzing Real Madrid's opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals for this time.

Every Real Madrid fan is familiar with this team.

Last season, they were separated from Manchester City in a group. They thought they were a team that was easy to bully, but they did not expect that in the end they would be unforgettable and unforgettable.

Real Madrid was double-killed by Manchester City at home and away, and they didn't even make it out of the group stage...

Manchester City is truly ruthless when facing Real Madrid.

It has also accumulated a lot of hatred from Real Madrid fans.

So this time Real Madrid met Manchester City in the quarterfinals, which is the most concerned game for all Real Madrid fans.

This season, Real Madrid invited Mourinho, the famous coach who led Inter Milan to win the triple crown last season, and the team's performance has changed drastically.

Not only did he lead Real Madrid to qualify from the Champions League group stage, but he also broke the "Fate of Sixteen Rovers" for many years. In the quarterfinals, Real Madrid eliminated their miserable Lyon, who had been away from home 1:1 in the first leg and returned to home 3:0 to defeat his opponent 3:0 in the second leg.

In the league, Mourinho's Real Madrid also performed well. After 31 rounds of the league, he ranked high with 81 points. However, in the league, Mourinho's Real Madrid performed averagely. After 30 rounds of the league, they ranked second, with 73 points, and eight points away from Barcelona, ​​the number one. With only eight rounds left in the league, the eight-point difference is the same as Manchester City and Manchester United in the Premier League. Almost no one is optimistic that Real Madrid can still win the league championship.

Under such circumstances, the Champions League became the last battlefield for Real Madrid.

Currently, Real Madrid has won nine European Champions Leagues, just one step away from the tenth, but this step has left them for nine years without reaching. Mourinho's Real Madrid is highly expected, and everyone hopes that he can lead Real Madrid to complete this last step.

So Real Madrid has a strong desire to fight in the Champions League.

This is the opponent Manchester City will face in the quarterfinals.

An opponent who is determined to seek revenge on Manchester City.

"The league against Liverpool will definitely affect the Champions League against Real Madrid, and this is the opportunity for Real Madrid... Now there is a survey on "Marca" that more than 70% of Real Madrid fans are optimistic that the team led by Mourinho will defeat Manchester City at home and take revenge!"

North London Horn is concerned about Manchester City and Real Madrid's match, which is even more concerned about Arsenal.

Because they realized that this might be the last chance to stop Manchester City from tying Arsenal.

Manchester City must challenge Real Madrid away before playing against Liverpool.

Real Madrid is full of anger and wants to seek revenge on Manchester City, so this game will definitely be very difficult to play. However, "North London Horn" does not want Real Madrid to win too easily. He hopes that the two teams can kill and it is best to suffer a loss.

In this way, no matter whether Manchester City wins the game or loses the game, it will pay a heavy price, and it will be even better if someone gets injured or something.

In this way, Manchester City, who was exhausted in the Champions League and fought against Real Madrid in the Champions League, faced Liverpool, who was determined to win and wanted to qualify for the Champions League next season, may not even be able to save the draw.
