The excavation work for the underground three levels of the stadium is actually quite challenging because it is located in the city center. Not only are there underground pipes, but also numerous electrical wires and cables.

These electrical wires and cables would certainly need to be rerouted during the construction of the stadium’s three underground levels. Additionally, since this is a city center with heavy traffic, there’s limited access for construction vehicles during the day.

The entire stadium covers an area of over 100,000 square meters. To excavate three levels of underground space in such a large area requires digging at least 20 meters deep. The underground levels are meant for parking, so if the height of each level is too low, it won’t work.

Therefore, the civil engineering alone for the entire stadium is a significant project. The AI claims that completing the entire civil engineering work within one to two months is already considered very fast.

Wu Hao, upon hearing this report from the AI, nodded in satisfaction. Honestly, Wu Hao is very excited about this stadium. Once completed, it will be the most advanced large-scale professional football venue in the world, and the various high-tech devices inside will definitely impress everyone.

Once the stadium is finished, it will receive a super five-star rating not just from the Asian Football Confederation, but also from the UEFA and FIFA.

After all, a stadium with such high technological content, capable of holding over 80,000 people, and located in the center of a direct-controlled municipality in China, Shuangqing City, which is one of the top ten cities in China and currently has the highest population, certainly deserves to be rated as a super five-star stadium.

Of course, just having such a stadium is not enough if the club’s team lacks strength. Therefore, before the new season starts next year, Wu Hao will definitely be wielding his checkbook to recruit from major domestic clubs and will also need to buy several star foreign players.

“Zero, the construction progress of the stadium is going well, but can the supply of building materials keep up with the overall construction progress?” Wu Hao was actually asking about the concrete frame foundation and other building materials required after the completion of the stadium’s civil engineering.

According to Wu Hao’s design requirements, the concrete structure of the stadium must use a new concrete formula for casting. If there are issues with the concrete formula, it will delay the entire stadium’s construction progress.

“BOSS, I have been keeping track of the building materials for the stadium. The new concrete formula being used has already entered the experimental phase. It is expected to be finalized and mass-produced within 10 days. Other building materials are also in production and preparation. Based on the current situation, it should not affect the overall construction progress,” Zero explained carefully.

“Alright! Since there are no issues, I am relieved. By the way, the youth training base and professional football school for the club should also start as soon as possible.”

“Understood, BOSS. I will continue to follow up.”

Wu Hao then inquired about other aspects, such as the base’s construction and the progress of research on the anti-gravity engine. After getting a general understanding, Wu Hao seemed to remember something and continued to ask Zero.

“Zero, help me analyze how to choose a few high-profile players for next season. What should be the criteria?” For data-related questions like this, Wu Hao knew that consulting Zero was the best option. Zero could immediately access all player data and their potential transfer probabilities through the network.

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s question, Zero paused briefly and then presented a plan, “BOSS, if you want to enhance the team’s influence and attention by purchasing players, I have a good plan for you to consider.”

“Oh! Go ahead!” Wu Hao was intrigued and motioned for Zero to continue.

Given the current situation of the Tianyu Club, it is unrealistic to acquire top European stars. Purchasing slightly famous players with good skills seems to have little impact on increasing the club’s visibility.

If they are true football fans, they would know the top European players, but for non-football fans, they might only recognize a few top players like Ballon d’Or winners, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo, Beckham, and so on.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, the current European stars, are out of the question. Even if Wu Hao is willing to pay, their clubs would be reluctant to sell, and they themselves would likely not come to play in a Chinese team.

Ronaldo and Beckham are already past their prime. Beckham, due to his good looks, still appears in brand advertisements, while Ronaldo is now involved in football-related activities in Brazil, such as investing in teams and coaching. Given his age, he cannot play in high-intensity official matches.

In reality, if Wu Hao just wants to improve his team’s strength, finding a few capable foreign players is not difficult. After all, some top teams in China’s Super League have already spent tens of millions of euros on players. However, despite the expensive players, the team’s performance this year has not improved significantly, possibly due to tactical or coordination issues.

In contrast, the former Lifan Club had a foreign player with much lower value who shone this season. Wu Hao intends to keep this player at Tianyu Club and will definitely offer a salary increase.

However, these are minor issues for Wu Hao. What he wants now is a genuine star player, someone recognizable even by non-football fans, because only such a player can quickly elevate the Tianyu Club’s influence. His primary goal for the new season is to dominate all Asian clubs.

Besides having a strong overall strength, a world-renowned star player is essential. Unfortunately, finding a player who meets Wu Hao’s requirements is proving to be quite frustrating.
