Chapter 30 Japan

Before going to Japan to participate in the World Club Cup, Fiorentina still has two league games to play. In the fifteenth round of the league, Fiorentina will go away to challenge Turin. After missing the game with Roma, Degan returned from injury.

Only three minutes after the start of the game, Fiorentina got a free kick at the front of the penalty area. Of course, Degan stood in front of the ball and scored directly with an arc ball.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Fiorentina expanded its lead. Marco's cross from the right, Degan received a header from the middle and was rubbed into the goal by forward partner Cavinaghi.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. In the 75th minute, Degan broke through the left and passed back, and Modric tricked the defender into shooting with his left foot to score in the far corner.

Two minutes later, Marco put down Rosina in the penalty area, and Rossina personally took a penalty and scored a point.

However, in the 82nd minute, Pasqual made a low pass from the left, and Degan pushed the shot twice at 6 meters in front of the goal.

Final 3:1, Fiorentina knocked on the door of victory after losing to Rome.

In the 16th round of the league, Fiorentina played at home and defeated Catania, who came to challenge, with a score of 2-0. In the 56th minute of the game, Montolivo got rid of the guard's entangled direct pass, and Degan cut into the cross in the penalty area. Mutu was 8 meters away from the goal and scored from the near corner.

In the 79th minute, after receiving a pass from Hamsik, who came on as a substitute, Degan picked Stowini and goalkeeper Pisari one after another, and shot into the empty goal with the back of his foot 4 meters in front of the goal.

After playing the game with Katanya, the whole Fiorentina team will leave for Japan to participate in the annual FIFA Club World Cup.

FIFA Club World Cup, whose full name is FIFA Club World Cup, is an international football tournament hosted by FIFA and participated by the top teams from six continents.

A nominal FIFA Cup was held in 2000, and FIFA hopes that the event can change the original format of participation of European and South American clubs in the Toyota Cup. In this new event, it can attract the top clubs on six continents. Unfortunately, FIFA failed to reach an agreement with the organizer of the Intercontinental Cup. As a result, the Intercontinental Cup was able to continue, and the World Club Cup was held as usual in 2000.

Later, due to sponsor problems, the event was forced to be cancelled and did not restart until the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup. Therefore, people used to *2005 as the first World Club Cup, and each subsequent event was held in Japan.

The World Club Cup aims to enable champions from all continents to fight like the World Cup, so that clubs on all continents can also have a world-class event.

Some fans may mistakenly believe that the FIFA Club World Cup is an extension of the Toyota Cup. In fact, this view is not completely correct. The organizers of their own events are different. The FIFA Club World Cup is FIFA, while the Toyota Cup is jointly organized by UEFA and the South American Football Association.

When the World Club Cup was first hosted in 2000, the Toyota Cup was still in progress, and Real Madrid, the champion of the Toyota Cup in 1998, also had a qualification.

When the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup was restarted, FIFA had previously agreed with the organizers of the Toyota Cup to combine the Toyota Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup into one, and the Toyota Cup officially disappeared into the long river of history, and the FIFA Club Cup officially became the only world club event.

The first FIFA Club Cup was held in Brazil in 2000, with a total of 8 teams participating, namely Manchester United, Corinthian, Vasco da Gama, Necasa, Real Madrid, Al Nassar, Laga Casablanca, and South Melbourne.

In the end, Corinthian won the championship, Da Gama got the runner-up, Nekasa beat Real Madrid to get the third place and Real Madrid fourth. However, the FIFA Club World Cup was not well received by the outside world, especially at the most intensive stage of European teams. Manchester United, as the Champions League champion, did not enter the top four, and Real Madrid only won the fourth place.

The 2001 FIFA Club World Cup was originally planned to be held in Spain, but because FIFA's marketing company went bankrupt at that time, the FIFA World Cup was stillborn.

In 2005, FIFA successfully merged the FIFA Club Cup and the Toyota Cup, and the Club Cup reappeared. In 2005 and 2006, six teams participated in the World Club Cup, that is, the champions of six continents.

Since 2007, a place has been added for the host of the event, with 7 teams, and the competition system has continued to this day. In the 7 Club World Cup teams, except for the losing party in the first game, the losing party in other games needs to play a qualifying match with the other losing party to determine the ranking.

In terms of the schedule, the host league champion and the Oceania champion will first compete first. The winner will form four teams with the champions of Asia, Africa, Central North America and the Caribbean. They will compete team by team to determine two winners to enter the semi-finals. The club champions of Europe and South America will directly enter the semi-finals with the other two teams respectively. In the confrontation, the winner will meet in the final.

The organizer of the competition selected the best player on the spot and rewarded a Toyota car. The loser competed for the third place. Although it was an informal competition, it was considered to be the final for the hegemony of the world club.

The seven teams in this year's Club World Cup are: UEFA Champions League champion Florence, South American Libertador Cup champion Quito Sports University Football Club, Asian Champions League champion Osaka Gamba, Central and North American Champions League champion Pachuca, Asian Champions League runner-up Adelaide United, African Champions Cup champion Al Ahli and the Oceania Champions Cup champion Vitaker United from New Zealand.

When Florence arrived in Yokohama, Japan, the competition of the FIFA Club World Cup had begun. Osaka Gamba, the champion of the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup, also participated as the host. The runner-up Adelaide United qualified for the qualification. Adelaide United defeated Vitaker United 2:1 in the qualification. Strong.

This is the first time that Degan has come to Japan. Although as a Chinese, he has an innate dislike of Japan, Degan also has to admit that the environment of this small island country is really good.

It is necessary to win the FIFA Club World Cup this time, but the whole Fiorentina team does not have the usual feeling of tension. It looks like they are traveling.

Following the team, Pakinwa, the executive chairman of the team. Obviously, the bastard is looking at the Japanese market. In the next two days, Florence's training is completely public. At Pakinwa's request, the Japanese even need to buy tickets to see Florence's training.

However, even so, the Japanese are still flocking to it. Although Degan is his first time to come, there are many of his fans in Japan. In the past two days, he can often see fans wearing his robes appearing in groups around the training ground.

"Rod! I bet that you are more popular in Japan than their emperor!" Pazini looked at the little Japanese girls around her who kept screaming and shouting Degan's name, and her tone was a little sour.

Before he came, he was thinking about the nightlife in Japan, but although Prandelli's requirements for the team after arriving in Japan are a little loose, it is not allowed to go out to experience the Japanese nightlife.

Digan kicked the ball out indifferently: "It's a pity that their emperor can't play, otherwise, I really want to kick his teeth!"

If there is really such an opportunity, Degan will never miss it. He will teach the Japanese emperor a hard lesson, which is also considered to be anti-Japanese.

However, this can only be a fantasy.

"Rod! You seem to be very disgusted with Japan!" Pacini and Degan lived in the same room. In fact, after arriving in Japan, he felt that Degan, who had always been very kind to the fans, completely ignored and did not hide his disgust when he treated Japanese fans.

When Digan heard the words, he looked at the Japanese fans on the sidelines and immediately raised several decibels: "It's too noisy!"

Pazini shrugged his shoulders to show his helplessness. Digan didn't like those little girls, but those Japanese girls still walked forward like moths.

Two days ago, when the whole Florence team arrived in Japan, the order was instantly paralyzed in the lobby of the airport, and countless fans flocked to see Degan.

This popularity, only Beckham can fight with Degan in the Florence team!

Although Beckham was not qualified to play this time, he also followed the whole team to Japan. His task was not to play football training, but to follow Pakinwa to promote everywhere to help Florence enhance its influence in Japan.

After the morning training, you can relax in the afternoon. Florence's first game is the day after tomorrow, and they will face the winner between Adelaide United and Osaka Gamba.

After taking a shower, Degan returned to the hotel room and dialed a number directly.

"Hey! OPPA!"

Hearing this charming voice, Digan couldn't help smiling: "Have you arrived in Japan?"

The person opposite is Park Ji-yeon, who made an appointment with Degan to come to watch the game: "Hmm! It has arrived, OPPA! Do you have time now? Can we meet?"

Degan looked at the time and said, "Okay! Come to the XXXX Hotel! I'll wait for you here!"

Degan has never been an approachable person, but what surprises him is that he has a heartfelt good impression on this little Korean girl.

Hanging up the phone, Pacini just came out of the bathroom, saw the unusual smile on Degan's face, and said with a bad smile, "Rod! It seems that you have finally figured it out. We are good friends. Take me with you!"

Digan was helpless. Obviously, this pornmaniac misunderstood: "Hold honestly, I'm going out for a while!"

"Hey! Rod! This is not enough for friends!" Pacini complained.

Degan turned around and stared at him: "Be quiet! James Paul! Be careful when I tell your fiance what you have done in Florence!"

Pazini heard the words, quickly raised his hand and surrendered, and then watched Degan go out in casual clothes, muttering, "What a stingy!"

Degan went downstairs and didn't wait long in the hotel lobby. Park Zhiyan arrived. After looking around for a while, the little girl finally found her goal and ran over cheering.

"OPPA!"

When Digan saw that Park Ji-yeon was alone again, he couldn't help but sit down with Park Ji-yeon: "Why did you come alone again?"

Park Ji-yeon smiled: "OPPA! This time I sneaked out again!"

Now Park Ji-yeon's English is very slippery, and it is no problem to communicate with Degan.

Digan listened and obviously knew what Park Ji-yeon meant by "sneaking out" and took Park Ji-yeon to register a room in this hotel.

Park Zhiyan looked at the luxurious decoration in the room and drooled: "OPPA! In fact, I only need a bed to sleep, that's fine!"

Digan smiled and knocked on Park Ji-yeon's head: "No matter what, I 'cheated' to Japan. I can't treat you badly!"

Park Zhiyan held her head and looked very painful. She said, "It's not a scam. Originally, Shanlian also wanted to come together, but her parents didn't agree, so I was smart. I didn't tell my family at all. I bought a plane ticket and came over directly."

When Digan heard this, he couldn't help smiling bitterly. In this case, he would serve as Park Zhiyan's nanny until the end of the game, but he didn't know how the girl's family was doing.

"Zhiyan! Call your family and report that you are safe, or I will send you back now!"

Although she was reluctant, Park Ji-yeon did it honestly. Degan also explained to her mother through Park Ji-yeon's translation, and then after a lot of apologies, she finally reassured the old man.

What to do next?

Before Digan had figured it out, he heard a protest in Park Ji-yeon's stomach.

Digan smiled bitterly, this girl is really easy to get hungry!

I took Park Ji-yeon out and took a travel guide at the door of the hotel. According to the above introduction, I found a restaurant. Although the menu was in English, Degan couldn't figure out the meaning, so he could only order a lot according to whether the picture was good or not.

Then it was time for Park Ji-yeon to perform. Although this girl was not tall, she had a large amount of food and a table of messy Japanese food. After a short time, it was all filled by her stomach.

"Uh!" Park Ji-yeon stroked her stomach and burped with a satisfied face, "OPPA! Thank you for your hospitality~~~~

Digan felt a drop of very exaggerated sweat slipping down and took a sip of tea to hide it: "That~~~ Zhiyan! Although it's time to grow up, it's better to eat less!"

Park Ji-yeon smiled and said, "OPPA! It's okay, my mother said that you have to eat more to be healthy. Anyway, I won't get fat no matter how I eat!"

Digan listened and suddenly thought of something: "Last time you called, I heard that you have signed a contract with a brokerage company now. What's wrong? Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?

Park Ji-yeon nodded vigorously: "Hmm! OPPA! It's my dream to be a star!"

There is another reason why Park Ji-yeon didn't say that she chose to be an artist because of Degan. Although she was still ignorant about some aspects, she felt that if she became an artist and a star, she would stand in front of Degan and be more confident.

Before the meeting, Degan also wanted to persuade Park Ji-yeon to give up this idea, but after the meeting, he couldn't say anything. The choice of life path is everyone's freedom, and Degan doesn't want to be a spoiler.

After dinner, the two of them turned away aimlessly in Yokohama, which is the largest trading port in Japan and is quite prosperous.

Park Ji-yeon is only 15 years old. It is the time when she loves to play. Now no one is restrained, and she is accompanied by her idol Degan. Naturally, she is happy.

Neither of them noticed that there were more than a dozen cameras staring at them all the time along the way. Before Degan and Park Ji-yeon returned to the hotel, these photos had been scattered on some networks.

A mysterious woman appeared beside Degan!

Since breaking up with Irina, Degan's love life has been blank in the past few months. Now a woman suddenly appears beside Degan, which naturally attracts the attention of countless people.

In Italian football, when a big star like Degan has never been surrounded by a lack of female partners, whether it is an emotional prodigal son or a prodigal son in love, women are the seasoning around these stars.

But it is an absolute alien like Degan. Although he has been jealous of men over the years, first Argentine sexy supermodel Belen, then Canadian rock girl Avril, and former Russian supermodel Elina, but it seems that Degan's mind is not on women at all.

Compared with the prodigal sons of Inzaghi, Vieri and Koko, Degan is as honest as a good baby.

It is no wonder that some tabloids have suspected Degan's sexual orientation.

Now there is a woman around Degan, which naturally attracts people's attention.

Digan found a new lover again?

This news has caused many women who aim at Degan to cry. Degan is a veritable diamond king in the football world. As long as he can get close to Degan, it is 100% a matter of things to become famous.

But those photos on the Internet shattered the fantasies of these wild bees and butterflies.

Digan and Park Ji-yeon were still unaware of what happened on the Internet. When the two returned to the hotel, they sent Park Ji-yeon back to their room.

Digan had never gone shopping with a woman. All afternoon, he was so tired that he was about to fall out. He finally went back to his room and saw Pacini looking at him with a malicious expression as soon as he entered the door.

"Rod! You really don't have enough friends!"

Digan was stunned and watched Pazini push the laptop in front of him. The photos on it were secretly taken when he and Park Zhiyan were shopping.
