As the most commercialized league in the world, the Premier League knows exactly what fans want.
This should actually be the most basic quality for service providers, but unfortunately, many do not do it well.
For example, a simple tee time.
Each round of the Premier League will arrange one or two of the most watched games at noon.
This time point is very uncomfortable for both participating parties, but it is undoubtedly the most suitable for fans watching the game around the world.
On the second match day of the first round of the new season, the game that attracted the most attention was the match between Leeds United and West Ham United.
This summer, after selling six of their top stars, how much fighting power does Leeds United have left?
This is also a question for fans all over the world.
On the first match day, the performance of the Premier League teams was also a bit dull.
Manchester United drew with Leicester City 1-1 at home. Mourinho's team scored a goal from Luke Shaw in the 83rd minute, while Leicester City did not score until the second minute of stoppage time.
Successfully equalized the score.
The first eighty minutes of the game were really dull and somewhat uninteresting.
Another duel that followed was equally lackluster.
Tottenham challenged Newcastle at home. Vertonghen scored in the first eight minutes, but Joselu equalized the score for the Magpies in the 11th minute. After that, neither side could score again for more than 80 minutes.
The game is still boring.
On the contrary, Sarri's Chelsea performed well in the away game. Facing Huddersfield, Chelsea easily won 3-0.
Mane, Jorginho and Pedro each scored a goal.
This is also Mane's first appearance after moving to Chelsea.
It can be said that on the first match day, except for Chelsea, the strong teams were basically unsatisfactory.
This also makes many people wait and see, is it possible to play the game the next day?
Especially the focus match between Leeds United and West Ham United that was scheduled for noon the next day.
White Rose has sold so many people, can it still win?
…
This is Gao Shen's first time watching a Leeds United game as a pure fan.
He took his wife and children with him, drove to Elland Road, parked in a nearby parking lot, and walked to the Amazon Stadium like all the fans.
The family of three were all wearing Leeds United's new jerseys, and they were talking and laughing along the way, just like the fans around them.
But they were quickly recognized.
Leeds United fans are very satisfied with Gao Shen's management after taking over, and they are very polite to their family of three.
Even if Gao Shen helped Real Madrid defeat Leeds United in the Champions League final last season, the fans of the White Rose did not hold grudges.
According to what they said on the Internet, as long as Gao Shen helps Leeds win a Champions League as compensation, then this "debt" will be settled.
The fans' request is that simple!
Every game day, the second phase of the project has to be suspended.
This is different from before.
The new stadium project is on the west side of the land. Fans do not need to pass through the construction site to enter the Elland Road stadium. However, the current construction is on the east side and fans have to pass through, so work has to be suspended on match days.
The three Gao Shen followed the flow of people entering the venue and discussed with them the situation of the new season.
Many fans gathered around and asked Gao Shen what he thought of this game and the new season.
"I think we can win. I have great confidence in Pochettino!" Gao Shen said with a smile.
There was a burst of cheers from the surrounding fans.
If Gao Shen said he could win, then he couldn't be wrong.
Regarding the situation of the new stadium, Gao Shen also asked some fans for their opinions. What he didn't expect was that the fans' attitude towards the new stadium was surprisingly good.
This was not done by those clubs deliberately looking for people to interview and film. Instead, Gao Shen followed the flow of people and randomly talked to fans. From time to time, someone would come over to talk to him, or even steal his words.
Definitely the most authentic feedback from Leeds United fans.
"You know? I have watched Leeds United football for more than 50 years. Even now, I still can't believe that we can have such a dreamy football stadium. I even wrote to the club many times, I hope they can open up the area around the stadium and allow fans to bury their ashes in the stadium after they die."
This is the voice of an old fan in his sixties who brought his family to watch the game.
In the Premier League, there is indeed a tradition similar to this. Some fans will want to bury their ashes in the stadium after they die and be with their lifelong football beliefs forever.
There are even clubs that offer such paid services.
But Leeds United have no intention in this regard.
"Then you should exercise more, take care of yourself and your family, and don't die easily. You will definitely be able to see our Leeds United win the Champions League and win more championships!"
Gao Shen's words of encouragement once again aroused enthusiastic responses from fans.
Before even entering the stadium, the fans were already making a fuss.
When will they be able to walk and talk side by side with Gao Shen like they are now?
Even when it was time to enter, the fans politely asked Gao Shen to go first, but Gao Shen declined.
There are many ways to enter Leeds United's new stadium. In addition to the traditional ticket method, Leeds United actually encourages electronic methods.
After each fan downloads the mobile APP, he can bind his or her identity information and purchase season tickets and game tickets directly in the APP. At the same time, he can also shop on site. When entering, he only needs to swipe the ticket code in the APP. Accessible, very convenient.
Another benefit of this is that Leeds United's labor costs on match days are significantly reduced.
In the past, thousands of temporary workers were needed every game day, but no longer.
Most fans use their mobile phones to swipe tickets directly to enter the venue, and only a few of them check tickets manually.
…
Amazon Stadium is a semi-open stadium.
The main body of the stadium and the dome are two completely independent structures. They are very beautiful when viewed from a distance, and even more spectacular when viewed up close.
Even before entering the stadium, you can already hear the loud music coming from the stadium.
Every match day, Leeds United will arrange a series of performances and activities for fans at home, and will also organize a lot of fan interactions on site, including some lucky draws.
As soon as fans swipe their tickets to enter the venue, they will receive a message pushed by the APP, allowing them to guess tonight's score, who will score first, and a series of questions. Fans answer and submit.
All fans who guess correctly will receive an exquisite gift or shopping coupon.
Not only that, the APP will also push exciting scenes and goal videos in real time during the game, so fans can see them in time regardless of whether they are at the scene or not, so as not to miss the wonderful shots.
This one is also very popular with fans.
You know, the biggest problem with watching football live is that many exciting scenes have already happened before the fans can react. This of course can bring the greatest shock to the fans and stimulate their adrenaline, but it also leaves behind Regret.
And through this interactive method, fans can make up for this regret.
What's more, after watching it, fans can repost it on social media such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and INS.
This, in turn, can help Leeds United form its own momentum on the Internet.
So every game is a huge Internet advertisement for Leeds United.
After several years of operation, the official Leeds United APP has been downloaded more than five million times worldwide, and the number of people registered as Leeds United members has exceeded one million, making it the most among sports clubs in the world.
However, there are also doubts from the outside world, that is, this so-called member of Leeds United actually only needs to pay a membership fee of 5 euros per year. The purpose is to receive official real-time push of game highlights and goal videos from Leeds United, and to participate in official activities.
This is not a true registered membership.
Similar to members of other clubs, it is actually a higher-level senior membership, which costs 50 euros. The annual benefit is a gift package, which includes the club's game calendar, exquisite posters, magazines, etc., as well as a
The club specially customizes exquisite gifts for senior members, such as scarves and the like.
Leeds United's senior membership is actually less than 200,000, while Bayern's annual membership is more than 200,000.
Regarding external doubts, Leeds United did not refute, but repeatedly emphasized that the number of club members, whether ordinary members or senior members, is growing at an extremely fast rate.
Over time, Leeds United will definitely become the sports club with the largest number of members and fans.
In addition, Leeds United has also been cooperating with other sponsors to further improve member-specific services, including cooperation with Emirates Airline to provide ticket discounts for member fans; cooperation with Huawei to provide mobile phones for all Leeds United members.
Digital product discounts are even sold directly in the APP mall.
In the pedestrian shopping street of the second phase of Leeds United's new stadium, Apple and Huawei have each rented shops and are preparing to operate official flagship stores.
Among them, Apple is because they have been cooperating with Norman Foster for many years, while Huawei is the official sponsor and technology partner of Leeds United. Both stores were designed by Norman Foster.
.
The reason why Leeds United's stadium can push videos to fans in real time and allow fans to share and forward them is that it has the most advanced stadium WIFI in the world, and Huawei is behind it.
Of course, Huawei did not suffer. After leveraging Leeds United's WIFI system to open up the situation, they quickly launched business throughout European football. This time, Huawei also participated in the renovation of Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium.
They took over this business and made a name for themselves in Europe. The mobile phone business was also in full swing and gaining momentum.
…
Gao Shen's family of three, like all the fans, entered the venue using their mobile phones and followed the instructions to the executive box in the chairman's stand.
Lucas and others have already been waiting here.
Gao Shen also met with all the senior executives one by one.
When I walked out of the box, I was greeted by the thunderous sound from the entire venue.
There was a band performing in the stadium, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
The world-famous circular large screen hanging above the stadium is playing real-time footage of the stadium. Fans can clearly see everything on the big screen no matter where they are sitting in any corner of the stadium.
At the same time, it is also the scoreboard of the stadium.
At the beginning of the design, the Norman Foster team carefully studied the ventilation of the stadium to ensure that even in the hot summer, fans can still get the most comfortable experience when the stadium is full.
Moreover, with the roof, fans don’t have to worry about the sun.
Gao Shen stood in the stands outside the executive box, holding on to the guardrail and looking around. He saw the stadium full of fans, more than 67,000 in total. Just thinking about it made him feel excited.
