Frenzy [football]

"Viewers, welcome back to Potts' talk show. In fact, my last show, yes, was the one where Sunderland's Chinese foreign aid Lin Wei was invited as a special guest on my show. The program, its ratings are very high! When the director of our TV station told me the ratings of the last program, I was so happy!! If each of my programs can have such ratings, I will definitely be able to find opportunities Asked for a salary increase with the director! Oh, I think that way I can order three sets of sexy underwear from Victoria's Secret this year!!! So I must work hard for this goal! I must tell everyone about the current situation The topic that the British are most interested in!! In fact, after the last program, many friends sent me emails and left messages on my personal homepage. They said that the Chinese way of thinking is very interesting, it’s like watching A mystery drama!! They told me that this is much more interesting than the recent detective dramas! They really want to know more about the Chinese way of thinking about football!! So I turned to elegant and charming Lin, the captain of the Chinese men's football team, sent an invitation!!"

Miss Potts, who is very good at capturing the hot spots of current affairs, and even better at digging out topics that the audience may like, is here again.

Due to the unexpected and much higher ratings of the last live program, and it coincided with the topic character of the previous program, the Porto team of the Portuguese Super League where Garrincha with long and short legs scored a big score of 4:1 Beating Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Miss Potts certainly won't miss this opportunity.

It's just a pity...Wei Lin, who gave them good ratings in the last episode of the show... didn't come.

Miss Potts, who has a quarter of black blood and a proud figure, said in a very regretful and sad tone: "But unfortunately, Lin rejected my invitation. Let me read to everyone. Lin sent me The email reply: "Thank you very much for inviting me again, Miss Potts. I am very happy to know that your program has hit a new high in ratings, and I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to you. But The last experience made me feel that my English is still not good enough. I feel that I can't understand every word of an excellent talk show host like you in the shortest time. I want to ask me The translator who came to ask for help, but for such a live show, obviously such behavior would make me feel very embarrassed. And I might be more comfortable going to the team's training base to accept it than facing the camera lens of the TV show. Training. So I can only say to you very regretfully, sorry. I also hope that your program will be better and better and get higher ratings. ——Your loyal friend, Lin·Wei'."

Miss Potts obviously wanted to finish reading this e-mail with an extremely gentle tone and revealed the good qualities of a humble player between the lines. She took a deep, deep breath, and then spoke very fast. He read the letter quickly and clearly, but he miscalculated his lung capacity, so when he was about to die of breath, he finally took another breath and read the whole email with difficulty.

It was at this moment that the audience invited to the scene burst into laughter.

The struggling Miss Potts, who was almost breathless, came back to life after taking another deep breath, and said with a deadpan expression: "Then, our program today begins with a deep interpretation of this reply! Please! Today's special guest! Yang!!"

The special guest Yang, whose full name is Zhan Yang, is the captain of the Chinese U17 football team. When he gradually made his mark in the Chinese U15 men's football team, he was sent to the Arsenal club youth training camp in England for training.Zhan Yang is 16 years old this year. Although he has planned to become a professional player, he is said to have a super high IQ, excellent academic performance, and fluent English. This is why Miss Potts' program team finally decided to bring him Great reason to come.

"Hello, Yang! Excuse me, can you explain to us what this letter from the midfielder from Sunderland really means?"

"What do you really mean? If you don't need to put it in a very Chinese way, I think it should be that your last episode made him feel embarrassed, so he doesn't want to come again."

Miss Potts just shook hands with Zhan Yang, and was about to sit in her seat when Zhan Yang calmly gave her such a powerful answer.That made Miss Potts sit still, she opened her mouth, took a deep breath, and looked at the camera lens of the program crew with an expression of "I can't believe it", and then the British woman laughed to show up. Yang asked, "What if you use a very Chinese way of saying it? What should be the answer?"

Zhan Yang smiled, and then replied directly: "In my personal opinion, this reply should mean that your last episode made him feel embarrassed, so he doesn't want to come again. But guess with your own thoughts Another idea of ​​a different individual, that's usually a guess."

Zhan Yang's answer directly made Miss Potts scream in admiration, and signaled the audience to applaud Zhan Yang! !

Although Miss Potts is not very old, due to her occupation, she has met and met many Chinese, but there has never been a Chinese who can be so appetizing to her! !She was in a very good mood and discussed with Zhanyang the recent four top European club matches.

"In fact, I didn't even have the habit of watching Europa League games. Or I'm not a competent fan. Many times I don't even watch all Liverpool games because of my busy schedule. But in my last issue After the show, I was really interested in the UEFA Europa League game between Porto and Atletico Madrid. I watched that game, on Friday night! I had fried chicken in my hand and a lot of oil Fried food! That game was really exciting! And beyond my expectation! Porto beat Atletico Madrid 4:1 at home!!! Then I kept following the dog who posted that picture Fuck the football net! But sadly, I was restricted from logging in."

Speaking of this, Miss Potts wiped her crocodile tears, and immediately cheered up and said: "But how can this stop me! So I registered a Weibo account and followed many football officials. Weibo! A friend of mine who was an exchange student in China told me that I can get as much information as I want there!"

……

"Wei Lin!! Wei Lin is not good!! That woman Potts came out to mess with us again!!"

"What!? Come again!?"

"It's true!! Turn on the TV quickly!! Or the mobile phone can receive the TV signal simultaneously!!"

When Wei Lin received the news from his Chinese friend in the UK, he had just finished dinner with his wife, but his good mood was ruined in an instant! !

The new captain of the Chinese men's national team immediately turned on the TV and watched the live broadcast.Since the program is being broadcast live, there are not even English subtitles at the bottom of the screen.So Wei Lin could only listen and guess the meaning very hard, and after a while, he became so angry that his face turned pale! !

I only heard Miss Potts say in a hesitant tone: "Actually, I can't understand what it is like to wear a Real Madrid jersey to watch the match between Atletico Madrid and Porto at home. ...with an act of brilliant imagination."

"My lady, you might as well just say that this is really a group activity of neurotics."

Zhan Yang said this sentence in a very calm tone with a slight smile, and then the audience burst into laughter again, and Miss Potts, the host of this talk show, laughed without image, showing Showing her extremely comedic Yanyi expression.

"In fact, I think my compatriots came up with such an event, no doubt to make the Atlético players and fans very unhappy when they saw them. I heard that the fans who appeared on the streets of Madrid used Did the murder weapon smash Garrincha’s body posters? Many people think this fact is too bad, so they have to pay back to these Atletico fans. But it’s too uncreative to only wear the Porto jersey. And a sense of humor. Maybe we can imagine that when the Atletico Madrid players start to dribble forward, they hear the classic cheering phrase of Real Madrid, HalaMadrid! Maybe they can really lose the ball."

No matter how cruel the people present were laughing, no matter what kind of laughing Miss Potts was sitting opposite, the captain of the Chinese U17 team was able to deal with it so calmly, even with a smile on his face. With a just right smile, it really has the meaning of a sneer!

Facing this boy who actually grew up on Chinese soil, Ms. Potts asked many Europeans about the doubts of Chinese fans: "That is to say, in China, you are very likely to play because of Garrincha and Yue, two compatriots. Is it true that he becomes a Torino fan and a Porto fan at the same time because of his existence?"

"It's difficult to answer this question with simple words like yes or no. In China, many people like Torino. That's because we like Yue Yihuang for more than ten years, and Yue Yihuang is here again. This club has played for 15 years, which makes us have feelings for this team. But I think that in China, there are actually very few fans in the true sense who are only loyal to a certain club. The simplest example, If Liverpool win the Champions League this season and go to the Club World Cup in December, then, by then, will every British person support Liverpool to win the Club World Cup?"

"how can that be!"

Hearing this expected answer, Zhan Yang smiled, then nodded and said: "Then I can tell you with certainty that if there is a Chinese Super League team participating in the Club World Cup, the people of the whole country will cheer for it." Fuel up, even fly and buy tickets for it."

Many people thought that there was a traitor among the Chinese people when they watched the first half of this episode!The revelation of the captain of the Chinese U17 team embarrasses and embarrasses his compatriots! !But when you watch the second half of the episode, you realize that's not the case.

The boy said that Chinese football is actually a young man who was born not too long ago.He said that when the Brazilians already had a mature league system and produced generations of outstanding players, China was still going through wars.

The boy said that while the Germans, Brits and Italians were helped to recover from World War II injuries by football, most of the Chinese did not have football in their lives.Football is a word far away from people's lives.

"I think the reason why most European fans like football is because football is their favorite sport in their youth. The reason why a considerable number of European fans will become loyal fans of a club is that It’s because their father and grandpa are fans of this club. They went to watch this club’s games when they were very young. Or, it’s their hometown team. But in China, the situation It is completely different. Many fans like football, that is because the football game is good, and it is a very interesting activity to watch football with many friends who do not know each other. Many people support a club, probably just because of this team Playing a great game, they deserve a lot of respect."

This boy talked a lot about the development of football in China, as well as Chinese fans, and the difference of the Chinese Super League.

He didn't criticize or deny those things, but tried his best to explain the reasons for all these formations to people. The words Zhan Yang used were the simplest and most basic words, and of course he couldn't use those complicated and uncommon words. But this is enough for these British people to experience the attitude and tradition of football in the largest country in Asia.

Although that is just a 16-year-old boy's point of view, it can make many people watch this episode very seriously, and some people will fall into deep thinking after watching this episode.

Even when many Brits want to laugh at the Chinese-produced "Saving RP God Map" and then come out of the rivers and lakes, they will seriously consider what the boy said: "In China, we think that there are too many RPs before the game." Praise is not a good thing. It’s like in China, many fans who have a good impression of the England team will feel worried about the England team every time they see the British media praising the England team during the World Cup.”

So in the future...they should always say before the game that the team they support will lose...?

Although it is said that in the distant British mainland, the tactics and strategies of the Chinese people have been known to many British people, but that still did not stop the upsurge of local Chinese in Madrid to buy Real Madrid jerseys.Of course, no one should know... Many of them bought high-quality imitation Real Madrid jerseys.

The fans of Atletico Madrid tried their best to arrange the entire stadium into a purgatory arena to help Atletico Madrid turn defeat into victory, but they found that there was an extremely hateful evil force that wanted to snatch the tickets from them! !So people from the Atletico Madrid fan club hurried to contact Atletico Madrid's club staff and strongly demanded all the tickets they could get from the club! !

Fans wrestled with one another while players stepped up their pre-match training.

After all, there is only a week between the two Europa League matches.Although Porto achieved a 4:1 victory in the first leg, in any case, they should not relax their vigilance before any away game.For the away game in the Europa League second leg on Friday, Porto rarely gave up two rounds of Portugal's domestic league, which shows how much they attach importance to this season's Europa League.

As for another Portuguese Super League team that has entered the Europa League semi-finals this season, Sporting Lisbon has already started gearing up, waiting at the door of their own club for the arrival of the European giants Manchester City.

If there is no accident, before the semi-finals of the next round of the Europa League, the various platforms used by all fans to obtain information will only be overwhelmed by the preview of the European Champions Cup.This is not surprising, as the host of the British talk show said, many people have no habit of paying attention to the Europa League.

But the arrival of a piece of news changed those easily.

According to the latest report from "Marca", Javier, the absolute core of Atletico Madrid and the winner of the last European Golden Boy Award, will move to Real Madrid after the end of this season.

When this news came out, it was Tuesday, and Atletico Madrid was also conducting targeted pre-match training for the second round of the Europa League.This news came very suddenly, so suddenly that Atletico Madrid fans didn't know how to deal with it.Their first reaction was...the pro-Real Madrid "Marca" is lying! !

If Javier wanted to leave Atletico Madrid and go to Real Madrid, how could he choose to renew his contract with the club last summer!

Obviously, the more fans love a player, the less they want him to leave the club they support.But what is more unacceptable to fans than their favorite player choosing to leave is that their favorite player decides to go to their sworn enemy team! !

This is a betrayal!

An unforgivable betrayal! !

At this moment, there are only three weeks before the end of this season's La Liga.

The exposure of unexpected transfer news obviously disrupted the pace of Javier and the top management of the Atletico Madrid club.In fact, no one would want this kind of news that may make fans and the team mess up before such an important game.Not to mention... this matter is not completely open even within Atletico Madrid.

Not every Atletico Madrid player knows that the second striker Javier they rely on will switch to their city rivals Real Madrid after the end of this season! !

"Damn Real Madrid!! I want to raise the price!! Raise the price! Do they still expect to spend 3700 million to buy Javier from us after this kind of thing!! Tell Real Madrid! Don't tell us they I don’t know about it!! I don’t want to listen to their bastards!! If it weren’t for respecting the player’s own ideas, I would have sold Javier to Manchester City! They offered 4500 million!!”

At Atlético de Madrid's club headquarters, the club manager, who was in his office, was visibly furious.In the training base, the team's head coach Alberto was shrouded in a kind of low pressure.

Of course he could sense that the atmosphere in training with his players was completely different after that report came out.Although Javier, the person involved in the incident, is still training hard as usual under pressure, some players who didn't know about it before and who have not had such a close relationship with Javier in private are looking at the Spaniard. When he was the golden boy, even his eyes were a little different from usual.

He must resolve these troubles before that Europa League second leg match!

The problems that the team's head coach needs to face and solve are never just brought to them by another team on the court during the game.When necessary, the head coach needs to calm the conflicts in the locker room within the team, and remind and help every player to be in his best state at all times.

But this thing...

Obviously, this matter made Atletico Madrid's head coach feel very tricky.

Once he doesn't deal with it, it will likely cost Atlético Madrid to themselves before losing to Porto.

So he called for Enzo, his most reliable general.He needs to discuss this matter with his captain.When necessary, Enzo's good popularity among the players may give him great help.

"You mean the report in the "Marca", sir? If you trust me enough, then, please leave this matter to me."
