Message from Manchester City’s top executive
Before the game, David, general manager of the Manchester City Football Club (China), expressed his best wishes for KWA through a VCR sent from Britain.
“Manchester City Football Club will bring the purest football experience to KWA, letting all the school’s students enjoy football. Go, Manchester City! Go, Kaiwen Academy!”
— David, general manager of the Manchester City Football Club (China)
During the game, the club specifically arranged a big screen debut for Beijing Kaiwen Academy Manchester City Football School.
“What all of you just saw on the big screen is an ad for Beijing Kaiwen Academy Manchester City Football School. This, perhaps, is a sign that the Manchester City teenager training camp will enter the Chinese market. Beijing Kaiwen Academy International Football School is a very professional football education organization that you may want to know more about.”
— Jin Xiangkai, sports commentator at ww.ssports.com
“I hope that more young Chinese players can go to Europe and play football in the Premier League and other European football leagues. It would be a good thing.”
— Li Jiayue, main halfback of the Chinese women’s football national team
During the half-time interval, KWA students danced with passion to root for Manchester City. The lottery draw session also helped enliven the atmosphere.
