Chapter 254-Football "Totem" in the hearts of China fans

Crowd! ! ! The surging crowds gathered from all directions in the city of Naples, and their common destination was the Sao Paulo Stadium in the city center. White-haired old people, tall and strong men with bare shoulders, students full of youthful breath, beautifully dressed girls dressed in jerseys obviously one size larger than their own bodies, and even children who have just been able to walk and can only be sat on their shoulders by their fathers. But this night, there is no age, no gender, no occupation in Sao Paulo Stadium. They only have a unified name: Napoli fans.
The curtain in the sky has changed into the stage of night, and it is getting deeper and deeper. It seems that the night in Naples will be wrapped in a faint coolness at this time. Because of the influence of the Mediterranean climate, the temperature is blowing a breeze that can only shake the fine hair of the skin. In the distance, some dim street lamps stand, which looks like cola that is penetrated by light, scattering some pale blue gray and black. However, the square outside the Sao Paulo Stadium is brightly lit, and the torrent gathered by countless fans finally rushes to the ocean of Sao Paulo Stadium like countless streams after a summer rain.
At this time, there is still an hour before the Champions League match between Naples and Bremen, but the impatient Naples fans who have been waiting for a long time have come to their "holy land" early. Every afternoon or evening when they come to Sao Paulo Stadium, they are a group of faithful believers who come to worship in the "holy land". And the god in their hearts is football. "The European Champions League, oh, no, it should be called the Champions League now, we. Come back again! ! ！” A Napoli fan with gray temples stood at the ticket gate and looked back at the torrent behind his eyes. He was deeply saddened. He still clearly remembered the first time Naples participated in the European Champions Cup, which was in the 1987-1988 season. At that time, he was only a small child, but now, he is the father of three children. What an unforgettable time it was! ! The 1988-1988 season was the second season that Diego Maradona, who is known as the king of the ball, led Naples to win the Serie A championship for the first time. That season was also the first time that Naples participated in the European Champions League, which is now the predecessor of the European Champions League. Although it was eliminated by Real Madrid in the first round, it was enough for Neapolitans to remember for a small Serie A club that had never participated in European competitions. In the 1990-1991 season, Naples, who won the Serie A championship for the second time, once again participated in the European Champions Cup. This time, Naples took another step forward, but it was finally eliminated by Sparta Moscow in the second round, and the home and away games were 0-0.Final penalty 3: defeat. Because at that time, the European Champions League was not like what group matches were played in the current European Champions League. All competitions start directly from the knockout stage, so Napoli’s history in the European Champions League is only six games. That is, since the 90-91 season, Naples has never tasted the Champions League again.
But now! ! Today! ! ! Naples finally returned to Europe after a full 20 years. Can we go further this time? Twenty years ago, we had Diego Maradona, and our dream trip was terminated by our opponents just after we started on the road. After twenty years, can we create more brilliant achievements?
"Yes, because we have more Monica, of course. There are also a group of equally outstanding geniuses United around Dommonica! ! ! ！” After waking up from the memory, the middle-aged uncle-level fans once again looked at the stream of people with blurred eyes. He waved his fist at the bright and beautiful Naples night sky, resolutely turned and walked into the stadium entrance, and the world in that entrance was already noisy! ! !
"Audience friends, ladies and gentlemen! ! ! Good evening, everyone! ! Welcome to watch the first round match between Napoli and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga in Group A of the Champions League, which is broadcast live by CCTV Sports Channel. I am the host Wang Xuan, and sitting next to me is the special guest and professional commentator Li Lu. Today’s game will be explained by the two of us for the fans and friends. 。”
CCTV broadcasts the Champions League? ? Yes Maybe some China fans who like watching football can’t believe it for a while, but in fact it is. As we all know, because the right to broadcast the European Champions League in Asia belongs to ESPN sports, ESPN has a hard and fast rule when it resells the right to other TV stations, that is, any TV screen that broadcasts the game images from ESPN sports must bear their icons, but CCTV sports programs are not allowed to be attached to the logos of other TV stations or broadcasters when they are broadcast live. As a national TV station, CCTV has always been very particular about the so-called "principle issues" in these aspects. As a result, the contradiction came out, and the two sides have been unable to talk about this issue. Coupled with the reasons of broadcasting fees, the Champions League, which has the highest specifications in the world and the largest number of people in the world, has never appeared on CCTV’s screen.
But this situation finally ended this season. Because CCTV and ESPN Sports Network, which provide European Union broadcast signals for Asia, finally reached an agreement under the direct mediation of UEFA, CCTV finally made ESPN agree to its request at a higher broadcast fee, that is, ESPN logo did not appear in the broadcast picture.
And UEFA only intervened, in official terms, to improve the ratings and exposure of the world’s top league in China, the most populous country in the world. After all, CCTV is the highest-rated TV station in China! ! !
Entangled with ESPN for so long. Up to now, CCTV has to get the right to broadcast the Champions League this season even if it pays more broadcasting fees. A lot of people know the reason, and that is because Napoli, Italy, will appear in the Champions League this season. The ultimate reason is that there will be a Neapolitan player Zinan from China in the Champions League this season. Of course, the great attraction of other UEFA Champions League matches to China fans can also greatly improve the ratings of CCTV sports channels. But on the whole, the appearance of Qinan is the driving force for CCTV executives to finally decide to win the right to broadcast the Champions League.
And this decision of CCTV has also received the effect they want from now on. According to the latest ratings survey report, at this moment, CCTV sports channel’s ratings in the country almost catch up with the ratings of a set of prime-time hit dramas of CCTV in the country. This rating makes CCTV executives stunned and incredible at the same time. You know, it’s almost early morning in Beijing at 7: 00 pm Italian time.
This survey data also makes these CCTV bosses understand that there are so many football fans in China. Although the football in China has become more and more degenerate in recent years, the appearance of a Qinan now makes the number of football fans in China increase rather than decrease significantly.
It’s just that they don’t know that people who really like football and love football can easily give up their dreams and pursuits. Over the years, with China’s national team losing in a series of competitions, China’s international influence and reputation have also dropped to an all-time low. The poor performance of the national team has led to the decline of the once-booming domestic leagues. Coupled with a series of various reasons, such as false whistle, black whistle and fake ball, the number of spectators has dropped one after another, and the attractiveness of the league has declined, which has led to the major sponsors fleeing again, so it has formed a vicious circle. China football has gradually stepped into an abyss of darkness.
However, as the most beloved sport in the world, China has never lacked people who love it crazily. The failure of football in China does not prevent China football fans from continuing to like this sport. While paying attention to major foreign leagues and foreign stars, they are also waiting, hoping that one day China will produce a star worthy of their expectation.
Finally, they waited for the appearance of Qinan! ! ! After countless hardships, China fans passed on all their love for football to this China man with handsome face and perfect technology. At the same time, Napoli, where Qinan played, naturally became their favorite club. Qiqisuu. com is in their hearts, and the Napoli club with Qinan is the China national team in their eyes. If Yao Ming’s NBA Rockets are entrusted with China’s basketball complex, then Neapolitan with Qinan is undoubtedly synonymous with China’s football complex. According to a survey conducted by a large portal in China, this season’s Napoli team has become the most popular foreign club among China fans, and its support rate in the hearts of China fans has far surpassed that of some traditional giants and powerful teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Milan and Manchester United. Now Napoli has become a unique football "totem" in the minds of China fans. It can be said that Napoli’s attention in China’s fan circle has far surpassed that of China’s national team.
So it’s not hard to understand why a Champions League group match can attract the attention of so many fans from China, because for these fans, Napoli is like their own children, and they don’t care, so who else can care?
Volume III
Chapter 255-Champions League premiere
"My God! ! ! The fans here are crazier than those in Bremen, and the atmosphere in our Visa stadium may not be half as warm as here! ! ! Look at those crazy people, oh, these bumpkins, isn’t it a Champions League group match? Is it worth getting carried away? Diego, I think we Bremen have an obligation to teach these bumpkins a good lesson, so that they can understand the difference between the nouveau riche and the Bundesliga giants! ! ! ！” At this time, it was the warm-up time before the match. At the half time of Bremen, rosenberg, the top scorer in Bremen’s team last season, looked at the stands around Sao Paulo Stadium with a contemptuous expression. At his side, it was Ribas da Canha Diego, the soul of Bremen.
Born in 1985, the 25-year-old Brazilian genius is the main player of Brazil’s national team. The top star of Bremen, Kaka, Robinho and Ronaldinho formed the "magic quartet" in Brazil’s frontcourt. As the front waist, he conquered Bremen with an average of 15 goals in 30 games and one goal in 2 games in the first season of landing in the Bundesliga. The frontcourt dribbled magic, the wonderful arc of free kicks and the rapidity of single-handedness. Finally, in 2006/07, there was a stunning 68-meter+volley. Because of his thick little beard, handsome appearance and perfect moral character, Diego fans nicknamed him "koala".
Diego joined the Santos team in Brazil at the age of 12. In 2002, he became a full member of Santos’ senior team. In 2002 and 2004, he helped the team win the Brazilian league championship. Subsequently, in 2002, he moved to Porto Club in Portugal for 8 million euros, replacing Deco who moved to Barcelona at that time. In Porto, he can’t be the absolute main force of the team. Even so, Diego’s team won the Portuguese championship in 2006. In the summer of 2006, he moved to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga and quickly became the organizational core of the team. Now. He is already the absolute soul of this Bundesliga giant, just like Qinan’s position in Naples now.
Hearing rosenberg’s contempt for Neapolitans, Diego frowned: "Marcus (rosenberg), don’t underestimate your opponent. You know, they were the Serie A champions last season. They can definitely win the Serie A championship by stepping on the bodies of Milan, Juventus and Rome. Remember, don’t underestimate any opponent of Naples. Especially the Domonica wearing the No.13 jersey.
"Yes, Marcus, the coach told us the most these days is to pay attention to this Domenica. According to him, the role of this Domenica in Naples is equivalent to that of Diego in Bremen. I have seen many videos about Domenica in the game these days. I have to admit that Italians really have their reasons for praising him so much. I want to say that he is the most gorgeous player I have ever seen, so the coach asked me to keep an eye on Domenica today. I have a very bad feeling. " This time, the speaker is a tall and sturdy man with a typical German rigorous face. He is the German international in Bremen and the defensive midfielder Frings, who is 30 years old this year. In Bremen, besides Diego, he is also the leader of the team. In order to prepare for the task given to him by head coach Shaf, he has watched a lot of Qinan’s game videos these days.
"Thorsten (Frings). Don’t scare yourself. Can a teenager like that have any temper in front of you, who is known as the "iron gate"? But isn’t that boy playing in midfield? How did you win the Golden Boot Award in Serie A last season? How strange! ! ! Are Italian defenders all rubbish? Maybe I should come to Serie A to develop, and maybe I can get a golden boot award. " Rosenberg shook his head, a face of indifference, leaving Diego and Frings to go to his own shooting practice. Diego and Frings smiled at each other, but their eyes were equally dignified, which made them laugh no longer.
"Marek, you keep an eye on Diego in the game. You have a heavy burden today. Lorenzo (desir Vitri) and Yuri (zhirkov), you two should go forward boldly. Give me an attack to suppress the two flanks of Bremen. Paul, Robben (maldonado), you should pay more attention to their striker Pizarro. Apart from Diego in Bremen, he is the biggest threat, and that rosenberg can’t relax easily. " The dressing room in Naples is leaving, and Rhea is making final arrangements for his disciples: "Romanel (Brasi), you and Marek should pay attention to your position and don’t let the Bremen attack easily. In addition to intercepting your own people, if Marek can’t keep an eye on Diego, you should also pay more attention to helping him make up the defense. You and Marek have a heavy defensive task today, because Bremen’s midfield offensive ability is very outstanding. Christian (Marjorie), don’t go up too much today. Your task is to help Marek and Romanel control the midfield. The main task of the three of you today is defense. As for the attack, I don’t think I need to say more. Hmm! Domonica Mr Seckel, Alberto. Everything depends on you. " Rhea’s eyes turned to Qinan, Lavezzi and Gilardino, and the three nodded in unison.
Raised his hand and looked at his watch. Rhea finally looked around his disciples: "Children, this is our first battle to Europe. I hope to see you make a good start to our Champions League with a victory in 90 minutes. Look at the 80,000 Naples fans outside. I hope you can bring them happiness, you know? Like us, they have been waiting for this moment for twenty years! ! Twenty years! ! ! We in Naples have been away from the brightest stage in the world for too long! ! ! So today’s performance, we must not fail, understand? "
"understand! ! ! ! ！” All the players in Naples came crashing to promise, and the encouragement of the coach directly turned this group of young people into a group of murderous fighters. The children in the dressing room burst open and an overwhelming noise swept through.
"Those fans and friends who can’t go to Sao Paulo Stadium to cheer for us in Naples, let’s welcome our heroes with all our enthusiasm. I am your Moro. Welcome to the first round of the Champions League group match between Naples and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. Now the players are about to play. They are now waiting in line in the player aisle. " In the live broadcast room of Naples TV, the Champions League was explained for the first time. Moro, the most senior commentator of Naples TV, was also excited and excited: "Well, they are out! ! ! The first one is Domonica, who is the captain of the field today. Oh! ! Listen to the cheers at the scene. The standing applause of 80,000 Naples fans tells us how much they love our Domenica. This young man from China has finally made us forget Diego Maradona with his perfect performance. Like the former king of the ball, he is leading us Naples to another glory! ! ! ！” As usual, it is to sing praises for Qina, and as usual, it is the kind of praise tone with aria. Now Moreau has completely become a loyal fan of Qina.
The two queues shake hands, take family photos of the game, the captains of the two teams exchange team flags, and the captains choose sides. Then, with the whistle of the "famous whistle in Europe" and the referee of Belgium, Blakeley, the Champions League group match between Naples and Werder Bremen finally officially began.
Qinan won Diego in the captain selection, so Naples got the right to kick off. When Ravizi pushed the ball to Gilardino around him, and Gilardino passed it back to Qinan, countless white lights flashed in the stands around Sao Paulo, and countless camera flashes flashed brightly at the same time at this moment, thus forming a magnificent and moving spectacle. Naples fans hope to record this historic moment with their cameras! ! ! !
Because the two teams have never played against each other, the two teams can be said to know nothing about each other, so both teams played more cautiously after the opening. After testing each other several times, Bremen first began to lose their temper, and the Bremen, whose blood is full of offensive factors, could not choose to defend themselves, otherwise they would not become the team with the strongest offensive firepower and the most goals in the Bundesliga.
For a while, Bremen, who fought away from home, gradually gained the upper hand. On the other hand, Napoli team really seems to have no experience in European war, especially Qinan. In the past twenty minutes, he didn’t act like the Domnica that Napoli fans remembered, with no sharp breakthrough and no accurate passing. As soon as the ball reaches his feet, he will spread it out for the first time. More often, he comes back to the center line to help Hamsik Brasi and others keep an eye on Diego and others in Bremen. Although there are no mistakes, his performance is at least 108,000 miles away from the omnipotent Dominica.
Domonica, what’s going on? Not only all Dominica fans, but also coach Rhea is full of doubts! ! !
Qinan’s performance not only surprised people familiar with him, but even Frings, who was sent by Werder Bremen coach Shaff to keep an eye on Qinan before the game, was confused.
This, this Domonica really doesn’t see anything as powerful as the legend! ! Are those videos of his game fake? Is his fame really won by the Italian media? Germany’s "iron brake" secretly thought. Unconsciously, he relaxed his vigilance against the south! ! !
Volume III
Chapter two hundred and fifty-six-The real Dommonica
He is waiting! ! ! He’s watching! ! He’s looking for a way to beat the Bremen! ! ! !
Yes, this is what Qinan is thinking now. But all Dominica fans and people who like him don’t know it, so in their view, today’s Zinan must have stepped on the stage of the Champions League for the first time, which led to his obviously inferior performance to the omnipotent one in Serie A.
Not only fans and friends who like him, but also his opponents are beginning to have this idea now.
"Hey, Thorsten, I told you this China man is a hollow reputation! ! Look at his performance in the past twenty minutes. Oh, I can’t believe that he was the top scorer in Serie A last season. "When waiting for the throw-in, Bremen striker rosenberg said to Frings around him.
"Also … maybe! ！” This time, Frings didn’t refute rosenberg, because, as rosenberg said, Domenica really didn’t behave like a top player in these twenty minutes, and he was the most forward waist. He didn’t choose a breakthrough in front of himself. Every time he pushed himself up, Domenica distributed the ball at the first time. Not to mention Diego, but Ozil, a young teenager in his team, performed better than him.
Also, many Monica really don’t deserve to do this to him! ! ! Should I pay more attention to the very active Hamsik in the Napoli team? Frings thought silently in his mind. Indeed. In the past 20 minutes in the first half, Hamsik, who was in charge of the midfield, not only struggled with Diego, but also threatened Bremen’s goal several times in the attack. On several occasions, Frings spared Hamsik because he wanted to keep an eye on Zenan. Now it seems to Frings that Qinan really doesn’t deserve his attention. Hamsik is more threatening than Qinan.
So in the next game. Frings gradually relaxed the supervision of team Qinan. And he didn’t know it. A few minutes later, he paid the price for his behavior.
It is time! ! ! Once again, he received the ball from the backcourt. Qi Nan didn’t divide the ball out as before. He observed it for more than 20 minutes and had already discovered the defensive loopholes of Bremen. In his view, Bremen’s center and backcourt were seriously out of touch, and the diamond midfield discharged by Bremen coach Shaf was full of aggression. However, the defense is not flattering. The only midfielder, No.22 (Frings), seems to be stronger in attack than in defense. The midfield obviously lacks protection for the defense line, and there are obvious loopholes in the connection between the center and the backcourt, especially when No.2 attacked, the front of Bremen’s restricted area has a large area. The two centre-backs in Bremen have a long-standing problem unique to German defenders-slow turning. These are all places that Qinan can use.
Start it! ! ! All of a sudden, Qinan started! ! ! !
He knocked the ball forward without waiting for Frings, who was used to watching him pass the ball, to wake up. Qinan has already taken the ball to the front of Bremen’s restricted area.
Nobody defends! ! ! Because all the Bremen players didn’t guard against him. In the breakthrough, the first emergency stop staggered the defending opponent’s No.29 central defender. The second emergency stop accelerated the other central defender who rushed to make up the defense, and then accelerated again. Before the poor German could turn around, Qinan had already passed him in a graceful manner. When facing the last horrified defender, he first stopped, then his right foot gently leaned, and then his left foot again. The Bremen defender wearing the No.2 jersey has completely lost his center of gravity in the dazzling. Now, Qinan has been directly face to face with Werder Bremen’s goalkeeper Weizer.
The rest will be much easier. At the moment when the goalkeeper pounced on the football at his feet, he gently picked the football with his toes.
It’s so easy to score goals! ! ! !
Rosenberg was dumbfounded! !
Frings looked incredulous! !
Diego opened his mouth slightly! ! !
The three Bremen defenders, Mer Tesak, Boscher and Fritz, who were swayed by Qinan, looked depressed! !
Goalkeeper Wei Ze knelt in front of the door with a helpless face! ! ! Behind him is a bouncing ball! !
