After a few people had played freely in London for two days, the match day of the last round of the Premier League was getting closer and closer, and the management and first-team players of Manchester United Club also came to London one after another.
Because Manchester United has won the Premier League championship this season one round ahead of schedule, the Premier League will award Manchester United the "Barclays Cup" and the Premier League championship medal at Chelsea's home stadium Stamford Bridge after this round of games. At the same time, Chelsea Club has also announced on social media in advance that it will respect the tradition of the Premier League and line up to welcome Manchester United before the home game to express congratulations and respect.
On the afternoon before the match day, the sun lazily sprinkled on the European-style streets of Kensington-Chelsea in London. The ancient buildings on both sides of the street exude a unique historical charm under the reflection of the sun, and the headquarters of Chelsea Club is located in this stylish area.
At this moment, a group of people from Manchester United Club are riding in a luxurious convoy, slowly driving towards the headquarters of Chelsea Club. The motorcade consisted of several black luxury cars, which reflected dazzling light under the sun, like a long black dragon shuttling through the streets and alleys of London.
Sitting in the first car of the motorcade was Manchester United Club Chairman Rowley, who was wearing a well-cut dark blue suit and an exquisite silk tie, and looked energetic and elegant. Next to Rowley was the club's vice chairman Nicky Butt, who had a neat short hair, a light gray suit, a white shirt, and a slightly open collar, giving people a sense of formality and casualness.
CEO Ed Woodward sat in a car at the back. He is a man of great means in the business field, and he has managed the business operations of Manchester United Club in an orderly manner. He wore a pair of exquisite glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were shrewd and sharp. He wore a black suit and a dark red tie, and his every move showed the temperament of a business elite.
Sports Director Solskjaer was also in the motorcade. This legendary player who once left a brilliant chapter of goals in the history of Manchester United is now responsible for selecting talents and planning sports strategies for the team. He wore a navy blue suit with a faint smile on his face, as if he recalled the good times when he ran on the green field.
John Annabell, director of partner sales, was sitting in another car. She is a capable woman with outstanding talents in business cooperation and sales. She was wearing a beige professional suit, and her neat short hair made her look particularly energetic, with confidence and courage in her eyes.
The motorcade slowly drove into the gate of Chelsea Club headquarters. Chelsea Club CEO Guy Lawrence, Chelsea Director Marina Granovskaia and others had been waiting downstairs of the headquarters building for a long time.
Guy Lawrence wore a dark gray suit and stood tall. He had a warm smile on his face and his eyes showed his expectation for this meeting. Marina Granovskaia wore a black dress with an exquisite pearl necklace. She was elegant and noble, and exuded a unique charm in her every move.
When the Manchester United team stopped, the doors opened one by one, and Rowley got out of the car first. He smiled and walked steadily towards the Chelsea people who came to greet him.
"Guy, Marina, I'm really sorry to bother you today." Rowley greeted enthusiastically.
"Mr. Rowley, no, welcome to your arrival. This is an honor for us Chelsea." Guy Lawrence responded with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand and shook Rowley tightly.
Later, Nicky Butt, Ed Woodward, Solskjaer, John Annabell and other Manchester United executives also got out of the car and shook hands and greeted the Chelsea welcoming staff one by one.
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia smiled and said to Nicky Butt: "Niky, you are an old acquaintance of ours in the Premier League. I didn't expect you to do so well in management now."
Niky Butt laughed: "Marina, you are too kind. I am constantly learning and exploring. I still need to learn more from you Chelsea."
After a warm greeting, Chelsea Club CEO Guy Lawrence made a gesture of invitation: "Chairman Rowley and all Manchester United friends, let's not stand here, please come in, the boss and other senior executives are waiting to have a good chat with you in the conference room."
So, Manchester United followed Chelsea's guide into the headquarters building. The interior of the building is very luxuriously decorated, and the spacious corridors are lined with displays of Chelsea Club's brilliant achievements over the years.Large photos of the championship, portraits of the team's legendary stars, and the wonderful moments of classic games, seem to be telling the glorious journey of Chelsea.
Ed Woodward couldn't help but admire as he walked: "Chelsea's headquarters building is really magnificent, and these displays are also very wonderful and profound."
Solskjaer also nodded and agreed: "Yes, it can be seen that Chelsea has achieved remarkable results in recent years, and there are many things worth learning from."
After a while, they came to a spacious and bright conference room. In the center of the conference room is a huge oval conference table, the tabletop is made of high-grade solid wood and polished to a mirror-like finish. Comfortable leather chairs are placed around the conference table, and each chair is adjusted just right to ensure that the seated person can have the most comfortable sitting posture. Exquisite flowers and fresh fruits are placed on the conference table, and the delicate flowers exude bursts of fragrance, adding a warm atmosphere to the conference room.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was sitting at one end of the conference table, wearing a custom-made black suit. Every detail of the suit showed top craftsmanship and luxurious texture. His hair was combed meticulously, and his deep eyes were like deep lake water, mysterious and deep, revealing a strong aura.
When the Manchester United team walked into the conference room, Roman Abramovich stood up, with a friendly smile on his face, and took the lead in extending his hand.
"Mr. Rowley, welcome to Chelsea Club. It's a pleasure to meet you." Roman Abramovich's voice was low and magnetic.
"Mr. Abramovich, I have heard of you for a long time. It is really an honor for us Manchester United to meet you today." Rowley hurried forward and shook Abramovich's hand tightly, with a respectful face.
Then, the two sides took their seats in turn. On the Chelsea side, in addition to Roman Abramovich, Guy Lawrence, and Marina Granovskaia, there were other senior managers, coaching team representatives, etc. Manchester United's side included Rowley, Nicky Butt, Ed Woodward, Solskjaer, John Annabell, etc.
The talks officially began, and Roman Abramovich, as the host, spoke first. His straight tailored suit made him look even more extraordinary. He smiled, and his eyes were gentle and friendly as he swept over every Manchester United executive present. Then, he said in a low and magnetic voice.
"President Rowley and friends from Manchester United, welcome to the headquarters of Chelsea Club. Manchester United and Chelsea are both shining stars in the Premier League. Although we have been competing fiercely on the field for a long time, the two clubs have always maintained a very good relationship and have always had a very pleasant tradition of cooperation in player transfers and club business."
Roman Abramovich paused slightly, with sincerity in his eyes, and then said: "We have similar goals, which is to promote the continuous development of football and bring more excitement to the fans. In many aspects, such as the improvement of the youth training system, the innovation of the business operation model, and even the further development of the fan culture, there is a broad space for cooperation. I firmly believe that through this meeting, we can start a new journey of cooperation and work together to create a more brilliant future." After speaking, Roman Abramovich bowed slightly and expressed his sincere welcome.
After Roman Abramovich finished speaking, Rowley also bowed slightly to greet the Chelsea crowd, then cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Abramovich, friends of Chelsea, my colleagues and I came to visit your club today to thank you for your support. We also hope that Chelsea and Manchester United can have more extensive cooperation in the future. As Mr. Abramovich said, we have been competing for many years in the Premier League at the economic level, but we also understand that in addition to competition, mutual communication and mutual learning are also important ways to promote the development of football. Therefore, we hope to have a friendly meeting with you today and have an in-depth discussion on all aspects of the club."
Roman Abramovich nodded slightly, looked at Rowley with a focused look, and said: "Mr. Rowley, you are right. In the world of football, competition is important, but communication and cooperation can also bring us many new opportunities and ideas. We at Chelsea also welcome your arrival and look forward to today's talks to be fruitful."
The talks gradually got to the point, and the first thing discussed was how to achieve financial fairness for clubs in the Premier League.
Chelsea Football Club CEO Guy Lawrence looked serious and earnest, leaning forward slightly, looking at Rowley and all the Manchester United people present with a steady gaze, he spoke first: "Chairman Rowley, friends of Manchester United, we all know that the prosperity and development of the Premier League is inseparable from financial fairness. In today's football world, commercial elements are becoming more and more intense, and the investment of various clubs in signings and operations is increasing, but this also leads to some potential imbalances."
Guy Lawrence paused, as if he was choosing his words, and then said: "Take the transfer market as an example. Some clubs use related transactions to create false financial data, and then spend a lot of money to sign players to push up the signing costs of other clubs. This has greatly disrupted the normal order of the entire Premier League, and also made those clubs that abide by financial rules and focus on sustainable development face an unfair competitive environment.
Chelsea has always adhered to the concept of reasonable planning and stable operation in finance. We hope that all clubs in the Premier League can jointly maintain financial fairness, so as to ensure the long-term and healthy development of the league."
After listening, Rowley nodded constantly. He knew that what Guy Lawrence said was true. He responded: "Mr. Guy Lawrence, you are absolutely right. Manchester United has always been committed to maintaining financial stability and ensuring that every investment and expenditure is reasonable and in line with the club's long-term development plan. We have also seen some chaos in the transfer market in recent years. The huge investment of some clubs has indeed put other clubs under great pressure. But we believe that only when everyone abides by the principles of financial fairness can the Premier League continue to maintain its top position in world football."
