Chapter 008 The Football Association in Con's embarrassment
The whole flight of Manchester City arrived at the Capital International Airport, and they received a grand and warm welcome at the airport.
Hundreds of fans waited early in the airport pick-up hall. They screamed excitedly when they saw the whole Manchester City team coming out of the VIP channel.
Seeing so many fans coming to greet them, the players of Manchester City were shocked. They knew the situation of their team. They thought it would be good to have dozens of fans to welcome them. You know, Manchester City is not a big team like Manchester United, and their influence in England is very small.
Manchester City has never been to China, and has played in China before. However, although there were fans to welcome him at that time, there were only dozens of fans, and many fans came for Sun Jihai, a Chinese international.
However, these Manchester City players immediately knew the reason why these fans welcomed them so warmly.
"Gan Yang!!!"
"Welcome, Zhang Yang!"
"I love you, Zhang Yang!!"
"Zhang Yang, good job!"
"Zhang Yang, you are the best!"
"Zhang Yang, here, here!"
"Gan Yang! Whether in Milan or Manchester City, we will always support you! You are our pride!"
"Zhang Yang, we are proud of you!"
"Hang Yang Long live!"
"Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, can you sign it? I made a special trip from Shandong.
"Gan Yang! Zhang Yang! Thank you!"
Seeing these enthusiastic fans, although they can't understand what they are talking about, these Manchester City players see the portraits raised by these Chinese fans and look at the jerseys they are wearing, and they know who they are for!
Some of these fans are wearing Manchester City's No. 10 jerseys, some are wearing Milan's No. 7 jerseys, and some fans are wearing Marseille's No. 11 jerseys. The names behind these jerseys are 'ZHANG'!
Fans scream loudly!
Some fans who got Zhang Yang's autograph cheered excitedly. If they didn't get it, they looked regretful. The fans who were lucky enough to take photos with Zhang Yang with their mobile phones or cameras undoubtedly became lucky in everyone's eyes.
"Zhang Yang, we love you!"
"Zhang Yang, we are willing to accompany you!"
Zhang Yang was also surprised by the enthusiasm of domestic fans, especially some female fans. Compared with foreign female fans, he covered his face secretly kissed by female fans and smiled. He likes the atmosphere!
The accompanying Manchester City Club Chairman Alphaim, General Manager Cook, especially the latter, saw that Zhang Yang was cheered crazily by the fans. Everyone was shouting the name of the Chinese star, which was also extremely happy. Although he had just arrived in China, he really felt the country's response to Zhang Yang. Love.
"He is the well-deserved NO1 in the sports world in this country!" Alfaim said that his words were also full of pride. The introduction of Zhang Yang is his proud work.
"No, to be precise, they even regard Zhang as a national hero." The Chinese receptionist in charge of this commercial competition said to the two in English.
Seeing the crazy and warm welcome atmosphere in the airport reception hall, the Manchester City players were amazed. They saw Zhang Yang's influence in China and just returned home with the team to participate in commercial competitions. This welcome posture is so crazy. This person's influence in China can be seen.
"Zhang's influence is too great. Even Messi is in Argentina, he doesn't have such influence!" Zabaleta said that he is a player of the Argentine national Olympic team and will represent the Argentine Olympic team in the Beijing Olympic Games. Now the Argentine national Olympic team has not yet arrived in China. In order to get familiar with his club teammates as soon as possible, Zabaleta came to China with his club teammates in advance. He will meet the Argentine Olympic team in a few days. Rendezvous.
Sun Jihai smiled and said, "In addition to Messi, Argentina also has Tevez, Mascherano and Riquelme, but in China, only he can make fans so proud of him now." He said it in English, because he was talking to his teammates, so he didn't have too much scruples about speaking. Otherwise, if he faced the media, Sun Jihai would not dare to say such words, which would offend many people in China, especially to make the Football Association very unhappy.
"Fortunately, Zhang did not participate in the Olympic Games, otherwise, even Argentina would have a headache." Sabaleta said.
At this time, Elano was giving a thumbs up to Zhang Yang, "Zhang, you have a great influence in your country. The fans are too enthusiastic."
Zhang Yang laughed when he heard the words. The warm welcome of his compatriots and fans moved Zhang Yang and made him feel that he had a lot of face! He just likes this atmosphere and the tone. This also satisfies the vanity of publicity.
At the door of the hotel, there are big banners, 'Welcome to the Premier League Manchester City team to stay in the hotel' and 'Warmly welcome the star Zhang Yang to stay in the hotel'.
With these two banners hanging, I didn't know that Zhang Yang and Manchester City were two groups of people.
However, this also expresses China's domestic attitude towards publicity. They really like publicity, be proud of him, be proud of him!
Alfaim, the president of the Manchester City Club, came out of the bus and saw the two banners. Naturally, there was a translator next to him who translated what was written on it. He was also worried that this behavior of the hotel would make the two senior officials of Manchester City clubs unhappy. After all, such a banner is suspected of putting publicity above Manchester City.
However, to the surprise of the translator, neither Alphaim, the president of Manchester City Club, nor Cook, the general manager of the club, did not show an unhappy look, but looked very satisfied. He couldn't figure it out. These people are Zhang Yang's leaders. Isn't he angry when he sees Zhang Yang's 'noisance to seize the master'?!
Naturally, he can't figure out that for Manchester City executives such as Alphaim or Cook, they will only be happy to see that Chinese fans like Zhang Yang so much, and will not be jealous of Zhang Yang. The more Zhang Yang is liked by fans, which shows the correctness of their buying Zhang Yang! They are also optimistic about developing the Asian market, especially the Chinese market!
In their eyes, interests come first. As for the so-called face, there is no need to pay attention to it at all. Besides, it is understandable that Chinese fans like publicity. If they say that they worship their chairman and general manager of Manchester City Club, they still don't believe it.
When Zhang Yang came out of the bus, it caused a restlessness of the fans and the media outside the hotel. The fans shouted Zhang Yang's name and flashed.
CCTV has always been the super boss of China's TV media and has an unparalleled status, so they have also been qualified to interview Zhang Yang.
"Thank you for your welcome. I'm very happy. Speaking of which, everyone also gave me a lot of face. Elano was still envious of me just now." Zhang Yang said to the microphone.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene. It was also the first time that everyone had such close contact with Zhang Yang. Listening to him, they were not as proud as those Chinese national team stars at all. Instead, they were very ordinary, and they all smiled happily.
"I'm very happy. Now I'm full of motivation. I know what everyone is doing all the way. You came to see me play football, which is my greatest encouragement. Therefore, I will play this game very seriously and will definitely make everyone worth the ticket price."
Once again, there was a burst of cheers and applause from the fans at the scene.
"See, this is Zhang Yang. He is a big star. How easy it is to talk."
"Yes, it's much easier to talk than those people in China."
"Don't compare those people in China with Zhang Yang. They are a ball!"
"Yes, people who are really capable are very humble."
The fans at the scene were very happy, but some reporters looked a little bad. What does Zhang Yang mean? Is he going to kill? Is it that you still remember the feud with the Football Association and know that the opponent is the national Olympic team, so you want to kill and lose face to the Football Association?!
Thinking so, some people's expressions are unnatural. They are people who have a good relationship with the Football Association. No matter how bad they are, they also have a few friends. In the media circle, the Football Association still has a lot of friends. They are really worried about the upcoming game.
Naturally, they know the strength of the national Olympic team. Although the leaders of the Football Association said that the goal of the national Olympic team is to enter the top four, everyone knows what the real strength is.
And Zhang Yang's strength is also visible to the world. If Zhang Yang really goes all out, this game will be a tragedy. The Beijing Olympic Games are about to start. If it is slaughtered, and Zhang Yang has been called by fans to recruit the national team, it will be a lot of fun.
With Manchester City's arrival in Beijing, the heat of the game between Manchester City and China's Olympic team continues to heat up.
The ticket sales of this game were not ideal. Even if the game was the favorite national Olympic team of the Football Association, it brought a certain popularity to the game. However, the ticket sales situation was still not very satisfactory. However, since Zhang Yang joined Manchester City, the ticket sales began to become similar. When it was popular, especially when Manchester City announced that Zhang Yang had decided to come to China with the team to participate in this game with the National Olympic team, the sales of tickets for this game can be described as crazy. The remaining tickets were sold out within a few hours!
Not only that, in the face of such a commercial game, the enthusiasm of the fans has been completely ignited. In the hands of the scalpers, they have speculated the ticket to 3,000 yuan, and there are also fans rushing for it... It can be said that there is a price but no market!
At this time, it was still a luxuriously decorated room in Beijing.
"Did he really say that?" A bald middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
Opposite him are two men of his age.
"Hmm." One of them nodded and snorted coldly, "It's all reported on TV."
"What does he mean?" The bald man slapped the table, "Is he threatening the Football Association? Is he demonstrating?! What does he want to do?! Has he considered the consequences? Does he still want to play football?
Another middle-aged man with a Chinese face frowned. He has always looked down on this bald man. If it hadn't been because he had a handle in the hands of the bald man, he would not have been willing to be behind.
The bald man is naturally with Yalong, and the national character face is Nanyong.
The Chinese Football Association has created a political miracle: Kai and Nan are the leaders. This dual-core system was later used by Zhu Guanghu in the national football team, which was a failure. Many journalists are used to taking Xie as the first leader and Nan as the second leader, but in fact, whether from the level (both are the main bureau) or the scope of the steward, or in the position in the minds of the leaders of the General Administration, the two are not different. For a while, Nanyong was like Ao Bai, who was self-respecting. He tried to compete with Kai Yalong, who was like Suo Etu. For a moment, he almost won. When he mourned with Yalong, a good thing came. Ai Fox, the title merchant of the Chinese Super League, had a big problem. It turned out that he sponsored 6 million euros a year (about 60 million yuan), but gave After a small down payment, the company disappeared. At the beginning, the company was rich. It was said that it was a large international company specializing in the Internet phone business. It helped a lot when the Chinese Super League was running naked, and the person responsible for this sponsorship was Nanyong.
This is a very strange event, and now I can't figure out how Nanyong was tricked. Let's introduce it with great difficulty. I-Fox is a network phone company. The English registration name is IPHOX. I-FOX is a translation method of the Chinese Football Association. It sounds like Ifax. The server of this company's official website is registered in Texas. Its parent company is in the United Kingdom, and the company itself is in the south of England. St. Heli, a small island in Jersey, is more than 100 kilometers away from the United Kingdom, but it is actually closer to France.
This is a strange company. After it disappeared, it called Texas in the United States. The number was not answered. The number was cancelled. The number was cancelled. Only 22 people had registered on the Internet during the initial technical test. Later, it was found that the company did not have a phone number at all. If you want to find it, you have to register its front call number (similar to China's 17951 or 17909), but these two front call numbers have also been cancelled. That is to say, this company has never existed, but it has signed a contract of 60 million yuan per year with the Chinese Super League. The Chinese signatory is Nan Yong.
According to the norm, Nanyong involves the loss of state-owned assets. Although it is a bit of a sense to discredit the country to regard the Chinese Super League as a state-owned asset, it is the reason, so Kai Yalong, who was at a disadvantage at that time, jumped up with joy for a moment. Later, he thought that the situation was complicated. Although Comrade Cui was not here, he pulled himself down by himself.
This incident made Nanyong lose his face. In the cooperation for more than three years, he has been in a state of concession, because if he and Yalong ask for an audit, Nanyong will be in trouble. Don't worry about the struggle in the official arena, but this Love Fox is really fond of Fox, because the trend in the next few years of Chinese football is: Nanyong is discussed with Aaron for a while to take charge of the national team, sometimes go to the national Olympic team, and sometimes in charge of the league. Several vice presidents are like playing a big game. The law changes a position every six months, and the league vacuum comes out, and all kinds of match-up and gambling are even more rampant. In the past, although the cat was lazy, the mouse was always afraid. Now the cat is sent out to make soy sauce, sometimes asked to do push-ups, and sometimes asked to watch the scenery... Chinese football is not afraid of being ignored, but afraid of being taken care of by others.
Nanyong is a person with deep city and ruthless methods, but he has his own experience in managing the national team (whether these experiences are scientific or not is not discussed here), but when Yalong saw that the national team's performance was good, he went to manage the national team and adjust the national Olympic team from the south. There was a period when he saw that Dui played well and ran back to Guan Guo. Olympic team. In order to counterbalance the foundation of Nanyong's national brand, a "team committee" was specially created. The team committee was actually the eunuch army, and finally caused things such as the male leader throwing toothpicks at women's football girls. The national brand and women's football team were defeated.
Well, I've said too much. In fact, it means that Nanyong thinks that he is more qualified to ask questions than Kai Yalong. He is also a professional. Naturally, he looks down on Kai Yalong, a boss from track and field background. Unfortunately, he was caught by this and could only be obedient.
However, he still despises someone in his bones.
So, Nanyong sneered when he heard Kai Yalong roaring and said that Zhang Yang still wanted to play football. Hasn't he figured out the situation for such a long time? Zhang Yang plays football abroad. This person has little to do with domestic football. The Football Association wants to deal with Zhang Yang. Except for the fact that Zhang Yang has been expelled from various national brands, there is really nothing else to do with Zhang Yang! But if there is a little way, how can Zhang Yang be so rampant?! Moreover, now it seems that the Football Association has also tied itself up by expatriated Zhang Yang from the overseas brand team!
The questioning and criticism of the media, the abuse of fans, and even the upper class have voices doubting the wisdom of this matter. And without the 'dragging' of the national team, Zhang Yang can concentrate on the club game and go smoothly. On the contrary, it seems that the Football Association has helped Zhang Yang. Nan Yong even considered that if Zhang Yang was in the national team, he would really have a chance to clean up this disciplined boy. Now, he doesn't even have this opportunity. However, now if it is said that Zhang Yang will be recalled to the national team, the Football Association can't pull this face. Last time I communicated with Zhang Yang, I asked Zhang Yang to apologize first, and then the Football Association found a step down to recall Zhang Yang to the national team. On the contrary, it was self-defeating. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang did not touch the Football Association at all and did not give the Football Association any face. On the contrary, the matter was stabbed to the media, causing an uproar in public opinion, which made the Football Association lose face. It immediately denied that it had found someone to contact Zhang Yang, let alone let Zhang Yang apologize, and then let Zhang Yang enter the national team. And reiterate that Zhang Yang will always be expelled from the national team!
For players who show such a personality, but play abroad, the Football Association has nothing to do.
However, now the problem arises. If Zhang Yang really kills and fights the National Olympic team all over the ground in the game with Manchester City, think about what an embarrassing situation the Football Association will be!
Zhang Yang, such a player who was excluded from the national Olympic team, led a Premier League team and slaughtered the national Olympic team protected by the Football Association as a giant panda... This happened!
Zhang Yang is only 22 years old. He is an age-appropriate player of Olympic men's football. The Football Association has no "legal" reason not to recruit Zhang Yang. Now, the Football Association hopes that Zhang Yang can be a few years older, which belongs to the category of Olympic over-age players. At that time, although there will still be criticism if Zhang Yang is not recruited, it is always better than It's much better now.
Therefore, the giants of the Football Association are in a dilemma now, and the game cannot be cancelled now, and this dangerous situation is likely to occur. If it does, the Football Association will definitely fall into a new wave of criticism.
"This situation must be avoided. We can't make trouble to the Olympic team. It's a critical moment! The goal of entering the top four must not be affected by any unexpected factors!" Kai Yalong patted the table again.
"What do you think we should do?" Nan Yong said angrily that he could only pat the table, which is useful for birds. If you pat the table, the boy will be obedient?
He took a look at Nanyong unhappily with Yalong, and the latter was immediately silent. Now, Nanyong rarely expresses his opinions. It means that you have your ability, you come to make a decision, and we won't compete for it. Isn't it okay?
He was very embarrassed with Yalong. He didn't do anything about Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang wanted to lose his temper. There was nothing he could do.
At this time, I don't know if it's a blessing and a flash of inspiration, patting the table with Yalong.
Nanyong took a look at Yalong again, which means, can you stop patting the table?
"We can't do anything about that boy, but we can find the Manchester City Club." Kai Yalong said with an excited face.
"What?" Nan Yong was dumbfounded and said, "Are you not sick? There's nothing you can do about Zhang Yang. Do you still want to order the Premier League team? Don't take the Premier League team seriously!
He Yalong ignored Nan Yong's sneer. He made his own decision, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was really reliable!
He smiled proudly.
Looking at Nanyong, it means, do you know why you lost to me? I am smarter than you.
