Chapter 106 Conquer Tokyo 1
After participating in the 2007 European Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Paris, Zhang Yang and Kaka returned to Milan from Paris overnight, because the next day, they set out with the AC Milan team and left for Japan to participate in the World Club Championship.
The predecessor of the World Club Cup is the Toyota Cup. However, to put it bluntly, the World Club Cup is actually just a tool for FIFA to make money. Originally, the Toyota Cup was well done, but FIFA was jealous and insisted on grabbing this cash cow in its own hands. Therefore, the Toyota Cup was replaced with the World Club Cup, but FIFA can't make the sponsors too cold, otherwise who will cooperate with them in the future? Therefore, in the end, in order to appease the Japanese, FIFA decided to hold the World Club Cup in Tokyo, Japan, which is also for the Japanese who lost the Toyota Cup. It's a disguised compensation.
Although the teams participating in the FIFA Club World Cup have expanded from two to four, in a sense, the gold content of this event has been greatly reduced. Because many teams that have never heard of can enter the FIFA Club World Cup and play against European and American powers, some big scores that are difficult to imagine in the Toyota Cup before have also begun to appear in the game.
Of course, these four teams also refer to the four teams that participate in the semi-finals. Before the semi-finals, there are still five teams competing for two semi-finals. Among them, the Urawa Ruby team of the Japanese J League, as the host, has obtained the qualification to enter the quarter-finals directly.
The pleasant voice of the flight attendants of Japan Airlines sounded, and the plane was about to land at Tokyo Narita Airport. This is not the first time that AC Milan came to Japan. In the 2003/2004 season, after AC Milan won the championship of the First League, in the summer of 2004, AC Milan came to Japan. Ben has held a business competition. In Japan, AC Milan has a lot of fans, and their popularity here is second only to the Premier League giants Manchester United.
Among the younger generation in Japan, Premier League fans account for the majority, plus George. The old fans trained by Manchester United in the Best Times, as well as the Premier League, are indeed getting better and faster. Therefore, in Japan, fans like the Premier League giant Manchester United.
The Rossoneri is as popular as the Red Devils in Japan and Indonesia, but their market promotion in other Asian countries needs to be strengthened.
However, in China, AC Milan's fans claim to be the most. Some media have done a survey, such as: If you are a Chinese fan over 25 years old, you must be deeply impressed by the Milan dynasty. The 1990s was the golden age of Serie A, and AC Milan was a veritable dream team.
In addition, Serie A is the favorite league of Indonesian fans, and it is not surprising that Milan has the most fans. The Dutch Three Musketeers established AC Milan's position in the minds of the country's fans. It is said that AC Milan vice president Galliani is already considering coming to Indonesia next summer to play a warm-up match or two to make money.
The moment the AC Milan team landed at Tokyo Narita Airport, they were enthusiastically welcomed by Japanese fans. If there is any difference between this time and the visit to Japan three years ago, it is that the enthusiasm shown by Japanese fans seems to be more enthusiastic!
Why? AC Milan won the Serie A championship at that time, and this time they came to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup as European champions. Japan has always been in awe of the strong, and their performance is more enthusiastic and crazy, which is understandable.
In addition, there is another point, which is the influence of Kaka. In the view of the Japanese media, Kaka's popularity in Japan is close to Beckham at the 2002 World Cup between Korea and Japan. Especially female fans, who are crazy about Kaka!
Beckham's influence in Japan is still a myth now.
As the 2002 World Cup between Korea and Japan is approaching, most female fans in Japan care about only one name: Beckham. A 17-year-old Japanese female student said, "I have never seen such a handsome face. I have only seen this handsome player on TV and fashion magazines before. His handsomeness is indescribable. I really want to see him in person!"
When the England national team arrived at Kansai Airport in Osaka, Japan, on May 25, 2002, about 800 fans were waiting there to see Beckham. When Beckham appeared in front of them, the young girl was already screaming. Beckham's original bare hair style has been changed to his "Moxi Gantou", and Japanese girls look up at the heroes in their hearts like movie stars.
Beckham can not only fascinate female students, but even housewives can't escape his charm. Aiko Akano, a 26-year-old Japanese housewife, said that Beckham's crazy exposure in the Japanese media rekindled her to the handsome man. I became his fan at the World Cup in France four years ago, and then I became pregnant and now I am the mother of two children. It used to be difficult to see him in the Japanese media, but recently he seems to have suddenly appeared under the flash of all the media, which makes me reinfatuated with him.
On a small island in western Japan where England trained during the 2002 World Cup between Korea and Japan, fans also erected a bronze statue for Beckham, and next to the statue of Beckham was the statue of the Buddhist founder Shika Muni. The hot girl said, "Japanese female fans are so crazy. When they see Beckham, I feel that their eyes are shining, as if they are as excited as God." Maybe I felt the madness of Japanese women towards Beckham. After that, every time Beckham went to this island country, the hot girl would become a member of the wife group and choose to accompany her.
Of course, don't think that only Beckham is popular in Japan. Ferdinand, his teammate at Manchester United at that time, was no exception. Ferdinand is a famous playboy at Manchester United. Although he has already married, the energy of Manchester United's iron guard is always inexhaustible. During his visit to Japan, Ferdinand met a Japanese woman. Ukralie Robinson, who later became Ferdinand's secret lover in Tokyo. The famous British tabloid newspaper The Sun once revealed that it was with the woman in Ferdinand. When You was having an affair in Japan, he was found by his wife Rebecca, who immediately flew directly to Tokyo and caught the two.
It's far away. AC Milan has a lot of fans in Japan. In addition to Kaka, which is very popular with Japanese fans, there is another point. Although the Japanese mainstream media do not want to admit it, there are many fans in Japan. Among the stars of AC Milan, the favorite players of Japanese fans, in addition to Kaka, are publicity.
Considering that Zhang Yang is a Chinese player, it can be imagined that this makes Japanese football, which has always been the boss in Asian football, very depressed and embarrassed.
Japan has always looked down on Chinese football, but Zhang Yang made them worship. After thinking about it, it is not surprising at all!
Japan is an island country. The character of this nation since ancient times is that they like to bully the weak and have no sympathy, but they always have an inferior mentality of worship to those strong people. During World War II, the Japanese were arrogant and wanted to kill the Americans and be the masters of the world. As a result, they were defeated by the Americans. Instead, the Japanese were not embarrassed at all and became extremely obedient to the Americans, which was also the nature of this nation.
It's far away. It's nothing more than a meaning. AC Milan, which came to Tokyo with the huge aura of the European championship, is undoubtedly recognized as the strongest team in world football. Therefore, the AC Milan team is also deservedly welcomed by the Japanese.
At this time, at Narita Airport, Japanese fans almost surrounded the airport. If they didn't know it, they thought there was a riot. It is not too much to describe it as a sea of people.
When I heard the news that the flight of AC Milan was about to arrive at the airport, the first thing I realized was that the reporter, who carried the guy and rushed to the immigration office crazily.
Then, countless fans ran together.
The security guard at the airport panicked when he saw the crazy crowd, but the responsibility was that he could only quickly follow to maintain law and order. They are different from these excited reporters and fans. Every time they come to big shots or stars, their security tasks will be multiplied several times. The more popular the people are, the more unlucky they will be. Now it is the European champion AC Milan team. There are a large number of AC Milan fans in Japan, which triggers crazy pursuit. It is inevitable to praise.
Not only Kaka and Zhang Yang are loved by Japanese fans. In AC Milan, Italian handsome men such as Inzaghi, Nesta and Maldini, or former Italian handsome men also have countless fans in Japan. In addition, don't forget, there are also Ronaldo, who has quite a lot of fans.
At this time, on the plane, Zhang Yang saw Ronaldo sitting next to him a little absent-minded. He smiled and joked, "What's the matter, Ronnie, I can't wait to be with a Japanese woman. Have you been in close contact with each other?"
Japanese woman. You are the favorite of these rich players when they visit Japan. As long as they can afford it, these women. You is even willing to take an internal infinite portrait with the stars.
"I'm thinking again, do you want to meet Alex?" Ronaldo said angrily.
"Alex, who is that?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Alex..." Ronaldo was a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang Yang ask, "That's my son."
Zhang Yang's eyes widened. He didn't expect that he could ask casually and ask gossip.
"Typ, what's going on?" Zhang Yang stabbed Ronaldo with his arm and squeezed his eyes.
"Don't you know about this?" Ronaldo was surprised.
Zhang Yang was depressed and said to himself, why should I know this? Do I look like that kind of gossipy man? Or do you think your messy things are so eye-attracting?
Not to mention, this is really arrogant and ignorant. Ronaldo's messy thing is almost well known in the AC Milan team. There is nothing you can do. In the AC Milan team, which has always paid attention to family discipline and is famous for being a 'good man in the family', a Ronaldo, a 'flowery radish', was also revealed to have an illegitimate child in Japan. This is definitely big news, and it can be said that it has been known to everyone in Milan. Some Milan players were also pulled by the media and asked them to express their views on this matter. Of course, everyone directly said that this is Ronnie's personal privacy, and it's not convenient for us to say anything. No one will chew their tongues on this matter.
Seeing Zhang Yang, I really didn't know that Ronaldo blushed with some embarrassment and said, "I won't say it, so as not to affect my noble image in your heart."
"Do you think you have any image in my heart?" Zhang Yang said frankly without contempt.
