Chapter 42 - Diehard Fans

As the largest broadcasting platform, China Central Television has a lot of controversy and complaints, but there is no doubt that it has the largest market share and the best media channels. people's expectations.

And the cctv5 sports channel is a place that many fans will watch regularly. Now the sports channel on the Internet has become popular, and many sports commentators on the Internet are slowly becoming popular and are sought after by many fans, but the ratings of cctv5 are still Belonging to the leading position, the huge audience group has become their reliance, so cctv5 also has its own considerations for the selection of games to be commented during prime time.

They have purchased the broadcasting rights of La Liga and have the broadcasting rights of all La Liga games. However, since many games start at the same time, they will only select the most exciting ones in the same period to comment. In the past, fans are used to Seeing that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético are dominant, whether it is a dialogue between the strong and the strong, or the strong against the weak, as long as there is a match between them, it will definitely be broadcast and commented on cctv5.

But this time, when the fans began to browse the broadcast schedule of CCTV, they were surprised to find that the prime time on Saturday night was not occupied by three giants, but a game that didn't look very attractive.

Valladolid vs Deportivo.

Valladolid?What team is that?Even pure La Liga fans will take a while to remember the name of this team anyway.On the contrary, they have a much deeper impression of Deportivo. After all, La Coruna's new star, Thomas Clemens, is now in the limelight in La Liga. Card opened Weibo together and is known by many fans.

But this is not the biggest question for fans who follow La Liga. They just wonder why CCTV gave such a prime time to two clubs that seem to have little influence in China?

If fans pay attention to the current game schedule, they will find that the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona started one day earlier, which does not conflict with the time of this game. At the same time, Atletico Madrid played against Celta Vigo, which is not strong. , this is a game that can be expected to be resolved. Atletico Madrid, which has been injured twice, must use a big victory to heal the wound. Celta Vigo will definitely not get benefits at Atletico Madrid's home court , the balance of victory has been tipped at the beginning.

Relatively speaking, Deportivo's game must be better than a one-sided game at the competitive level.

But the reason they really made up their minds to choose Deportivo was because of the little player in their team.

The minds of Chinese fans are always very complicated. On the one hand, this great ancient country has its own pride. They always subconsciously chase the pace of the strong. Many fans are "winning fans", which means whoever is strong will like it Who can be liked by most Chinese fans, either because of their past glory or their current achievements, which makes them inevitably set their sights on European giants. These teams have top stars and Top coaches, they can play the game like an art, with smooth passes, precise throughs, sharp passes, and wonderful saves, all of which make people feel refreshed physically and mentally.

But on the other hand, Chinese fans have fantasies about their country's team that far exceeds their strength. They hope that the national team can go out of Asia and go to the world, recreating the World Cup in Korea and Japan, but in fact the national team gave them Blow after blow, the loss is getting worse and worse, but the Chinese fans have the spirit of getting more and more courageous, cursing in their mouths, but their bodies are still uncontrollable. A hero can give them hope.

No matter who they are, even if they are not from their own country, but they are only related to their own family, they can quickly become popular.

Clemens is a classic example.

The "Sports Weekly" live video interview about Clemens was recorded as a video and uploaded to the Internet, and then the click-through rate gradually increased, even suppressing the interview highlights of many wealthy clubs.The requirements of Chinese fans are simple, handsome, temperamental, capable and able to speak Chinese.

enough.

When they see a foreigner speaking Chinese, it is as fresh as seeing a giant panda, especially if the foreigner speaks Chinese or Trump, which is even more poignant.

Clemens' rapid rise to popularity not only made his Weibo fans increase significantly, but also Twitter was captured by many Chinese fans who overcame the wall, and that issue of "Sports Weekly" with a large poster of Clemens clearly It was also sold out. Fans who hadn't sold a newspaper for a long time doubled the sales of "Sports Weekly" several times just because of the colored pages inside.

A public service advertisement launched in the middle of the week made Chinese fans even more excited.

Oh my god!The male god really made an advertisement with the national treasure!Hand toss and roll! ! !

This advertisement not only became popular on the Internet, but also reached CCTV.There is no doubt about the status of giant pandas in China. As national treasures, they are the only species in the world that can be liked by more than one billion people just by being cute and stupid. They are obviously ferocious beasts, but they want to live as cute animals. They It's doing pretty well.

Clemens, dressed in black and with an indifferent expression, is very conspicuous on the poster. His blue eyes are like the ocean, deep and charming, while Kaka standing beside him is dressed in white, still warm and sunny, but It is this contrast of light and darkness, pure white and pure black that makes them stand out even more.The black-and-white panda on the side looks naive, but it doesn’t feel unreasonable. This poster has already caused a lot of repercussions in Spain. When it was delivered to China, many fans downloaded it overnight and posted it on the bedside. The dream of waking up handsome.

As the largest media platform in China, CCTV naturally noticed this advertisement.Although it was filmed in Spain, the theme is to protect endangered animals, among which is the giant panda, a national treasure with Chinese characteristics.CCTV has already negotiated with the Spanish side to introduce this ad, so it is inevitable that they will pay attention to the protagonist in the ad.

Thomas Clemens.

This directly determines that cctv5 will broadcast the Deportivo game. On this night when there are no traditional giants, finding a player who can speak Chinese and has a good relationship with his own national treasure can naturally increase the ratings as a gimmick.

The reaction of the fans was just as expected by CCTV. Without Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they would naturally prefer to watch some entertaining and interesting games, and Clemens became the biggest motivation.Of course, there are also those who are unhappy, that is, the fans of Atletico Madrid, but whether or not Deportivo has stolen their limelight, Atletico Madrid fans and Deportivo fans are destined to become rivals.

The last round of the emoji battle is not over yet, and it is clear that the flames of war will spread to this round.

As for this kind of prosperity on the other side of the world, Clemens doesn't feel intuitively. He likes to interact with fans just because he likes to use Chinese characters. Although they are simplified Chinese characters that lack arms and legs in his opinion, they are There is still a sense of familiarity.

What impressed me the most was his agent Jorge Mendes. This agent has received many interview requests from Chinese media, as well as advertising contracts from China. They all have to be booked in advance. This is only 19 years old. young players.Mendes always stares at these quotations and clicks his tongue. He feels that the money is really not bad. A contract with this price is comparable to Pepe of Real Madrid. Now it is for a small player. Same.

In line with the principle of protecting players, Mendes still needs to seriously consider these contracts. How to get the most suitable and generous contracts without affecting the players' competitive level and training intensity is what reflects the agent's level. .

The hustle and bustle before the game did not affect Deportivo's preparations. On Saturday, they went to Valladolid on time, and the smoke of the No. 16 round of La Liga kicked off on time.

===

The way to measure whether a fan is loyal is to see whether they are willing to go away with the team and cheer for the team.

Compared with fans who squat at home and watch the broadcast, and those hooligans who use the excuse of watching the game to find fault and fight, fans who can follow their favorite teams to cheer on away games are obviously more loyal.

In the past, there were often only 1000 fans in Deportivo. After all, Deportivo is only a small place. Their economic level and population determine that not everyone has the financial resources to follow the team.But Deportivo fans are also notoriously irritable. Because the place is small, many fans are from the bottom. They are passionate and like to vent their emotions. They are as famous as Atletico Madrid fans, and they are also unpopular.

As Deportivo's performance changed little by little, those fans who were unwilling to spend their spare money to support the team gradually loosened their grip on their wallets and became more generous.

This is human nature. Fans watching the game is actually an entertainment on weekends. Everyone likes the feeling of the home team winning. Buying tickets but watching a fiasco is undoubtedly a great blow to the body and mind.But with the rise of Deportivo, fans also like to watch the game live.The feeling of cheering for your favorite team and cheering for a goal is addictive.

The way to please the fans is very simple, that is to win, no matter whether you win beautifully or not, as long as you win the game, you can please all La Liga fans except Real Madrid.

Deportivo fans are particularly easy to satisfy. As long as the team wins, or even as long as the team does not lose, they can show 100% enthusiasm.

This time, the fans who followed Deportivo to the away game were particularly large, with a total of 2000 people. They all followed the team from afar with the away tickets they bought.If Valladolid is willing to take out more away fan tickets, more Depor fans will follow.

Valladolid Football Club is located in Valladolid, the capital of Castilla-Leon, Spain. The team's home stadium, Zorilla Stadium, can accommodate 7000 people.This kind of home court is considered shabby among La Liga teams, which has something to do with the club's record. Their most recent championship was the La Liga Championship in 2006-2007, so they were able to return to La Liga. .But since then they have started struggling to relegation in La Liga, fighting for relegation every year, and the club is not rich, and they don't even have spare money to expand the stadium, which is very vulnerable under the current trend of gold dollar football.

Among the fans of the visiting team who followed, there was a tall, slightly fat old man who was very conspicuous. He was wearing a blue and white striped scarf belonging to Deportivo, waiting in line with a smile on his face.

Clemens will be very surprised if he sees him. This person is the gatekeeper of Deportivo, George. At this moment, George is holding a flag in his hand, saying something to the fans behind him, Then they started shouting slogans outside the stadium, very loud and tidy.It seems that George has made a name for himself in the fan organization, and may still be in charge.

Two thousand Deportivo fans wearing blue and white striped jerseys after passing the security check poured into the Soriali Stadium, conspicuous among a bunch of purple and white striped fans.These Deportivo fans looked more orderly than the original chaos. Under the leadership of George, they walked into the away fans stand arranged by the Valladolid club in order, and walked to their seats in order. She thoughtfully made room for the female fans, looking polite.

This relieved many Valladolid fans who stared at them with wary eyes. Although Deportivo fans have a reputation for being rude and unreasonable, they seem to be very well-behaved now.

Fortunately, they have prepared empty mineral water bottles and are ready to fight them in the air.

But just when the Valladolid fans were just relieved, they suddenly saw George stepping on a chair, with his back to the court and facing the fans' stands, stretched out his hands, and raised the scarf on his hands high.

And these Deportivo fans who came with the team also raised their blue and white striped scarves, and suddenly spoke with a high-pitched voice.

The Soriali Stadium is not too big, and it was a little quiet before the game because the players hadn't entered the stadium yet. The loud singing of 2000 people can completely resound throughout the stadium.

"Super Deco! Super Deco! We're Super Deco!"

"Go on Deportivo, fearless we will bring victory, glory, everything!"

Deportivo's team song sounds very rhythmic and catchy, and it is very loud under the singing of 2000 people.

Many Valladolid fans on the side also stood up. Although it is very happy that you are not making trouble, this is Soriali, our home stadium!How can I just let you guys sing casually here!

So many Valladolid fans also sang with their voices, with only one purpose.

Mute those nasty La Corunas next door!

Let them know what home field advantage is!

The singing was loud and naturally passed along the player tunnel into the player locker room. Vazquez walked into the locker room and closed the door. Looking at these good boys from Deportivo, he said: "Come here with us this time. There are a full 2000 fans in China, and they came with hope, hoping that we can get a big victory, so, my boys, are you confident that we can win a victory to appease our fans?"

"Yes!" Everyone howled, and even Clemens opened his mouth to agree.

It is the player's bounden duty to repay the fans and win back the victory.

Vazquez clapped his hands. He had already arranged the tactics and did not do too much pre-war mobilization. After all, there is no grudge between Deportivo and Valladolid, and there is no goal that must be accomplished. , Vazquez does not need to say too much.A lot of words have to be used wisely, and being emotional all the time can also make people feel tired.

But when the players walked out of the player tunnel, even the tens of thousands of Valladolid fans did not suppress the Deportivo team song "Super Deportivo" that came to their ears, all Deportivo players All very excited.

What a lovely fan.

They want to win, they want to score goals, so they can repay these lovely people.

And Valladolid coach Jose Luis Mendilibar also took the initiative to walk up to Vazquez, shake his hand and talk to him.

Mendilibal's attitude is very peaceful, not only because of respect for the old coach Vazquez, but also because there is no hatred between the two clubs.Mendilibal's attitude is very clear. He has studied Deportivo's game before the game. Mendilibal, who is leading a team with relegation goals, has seen Nelson's highlights and Clemens' iron. After the door defense, the strategy of defensive counterattack was directly formulated.

It is said to be a defensive counterattack, but it is actually an iron barrel formation. As long as a draw is a victory, it would be best if you can steal one.

So before the game, Mendilibal's attitude was very low: "Coach Vazquez, welcome to Valladolid, I hope we can play a friendly game."

Vazquez laughed too, shook his hand and gave him a friendly hug, but the old coach didn't speak from the beginning to the end.

Friendly match?

If the away fans were not so enthusiastic, they might still be friendly, but one or two of the boys who were obviously infected by the fans' singing had their eyes glowing.

Even if there was no hatred between the two clubs before, no one can guarantee that there will be no hatred in this game...

The two head coaches smiled thoughtfully, and then returned to the coaching bench.Valladolid's head coach Mendilibal began to study something with the assistant coach, but Vazquez looked at the Valladolid players who had already started to line up.

The local fan atmosphere in Valladolid is a bit weak, which is very rare in La Liga.Even though Deportivo had slipped into the Second Division, the fans were still enthusiastic. They may not have money, but no one can deny their love.But the fans of Valladolid are much colder. Look at the fact that tens of thousands of them are overwhelmed by [-] Dekor fans, which is enough to show the atmosphere here.

Lifts, relegation every year, and no big-name players for a long time, all of which made Valladolid succumb to money, and even their fans became cold.

Only good results can bring attention, and only good results can bring fans. Vazquez squinted his eyes and looked at the blue and white Deportivo fans who stood out in the distance. The future will become Valladolid, so this game must be won beautifully.

As for friendliness, is there real friendliness in football?

The enthusiasm on the Soriali Stadium was also faithfully transmitted to every corner of the world through the broadcast signal. As the cctv5 broadcasting the game, Liu Jiayuan, the commentator of the game, was surprised to hear the loud singing voice coming from the earphones.

As the commentator of CCTV, Liu Jiayuan has experienced a lot of polishing. Although there is no rich team in this game, it is not easy for Liu Jiayuan to get a prime-time commentary.He did a lot of homework before the game, and he also learned a lot about Deportivo and Valladolid.As a La Liga commentator, he is naturally more familiar with La Liga teams than other teams, but the CCTV commentator who always likes to show the data of the rich teams to smash people's faces is now going to explain the duel between the grassroots. Of course there are more of them.

Before the game, Liu Jiayuan also received orders from above.

Give Clemens some more blows, this one is allowed.

Although CCTV broadcasts foreign league games, they will always be complained that the commentator has nothing to say except data and history. Look at other network commentators, it is called passion, it is called hard work, look again Watching them, I get stuck from time to time, or the explanation is extremely dull, like a lullaby at night.

But CCTV commentary also has its own difficulties. They are not without emotions, but this is a foreign league after all. A group of foreigners play football, and there are no Chinese in it. Why are they excited?Even Duan Xuan's kind of Bayern Munich fans who have almost written on their faces must honestly stand on an objective standpoint when commenting, neither humble nor arrogant nor arrogant or rash, so as to conform to the mainstream, so the commentators have to use history Data Dafa to enliven the atmosphere.

Now that he has received the instruction to start playing, Liu Jiayuan, a commentator who is very good at saying poetic sentences to set off the atmosphere, will naturally not be polite. After hearing the faint "Super Laco" in the team song, he opened his mouth and said: "What you hear now is the team song sung by the Deportivo fans. With pride and excitement, they came to the Soriali Stadium. They hope to take away a Deportivo player who won and played away. , do you feel the pressure?"

... Are you writing a composition?

Many fans who were waiting to watch the live broadcast had black lines on their faces. Did he want to write a poem?

But before the fans struggled for too long, the referee standing in the middle circle looked at his watch, then raised his hand, and the whistle sounded.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello to all the viewers and fans. I am Liu Jiayuan. Now I will explain to you the No.16 La Liga match between Valladolid and Deportivo. With the referee's One whistle and the game begins!"
