shadow striker

After the home game against Juventus in Turin, Yue Yihuang went from being unknown to the hottest Chinese athlete.There are reports about him almost every day.In China, there are his programs every week, and the Turin game has become the highest-rated Serie A game in China.

When living with Francisco, Yue Yihuang would always smile helplessly at the other party and say that he was really not ready, and he was really not sure to bear the expectations of so many people.Even... He always felt that everything that happened in a place seven hours away from here was unreal.

Whenever this time, Francisco would always laugh deeply, believe me, this is just the beginning.

And it is true.With Torino's strong performance in Serie A, its TV broadcast market began to sell well.

In the tenth round of Serie A, Turin played away against Empoli and won.

In the No.11 round of Serie A, Turin played against Genoa at home and tied.

In the No.12 round of Serie A, Turin played away against Udinese and lost.

In the No.13 round of Serie A, Turin played against AC Milan at home and lost.

In the No.14 round of Serie A, Turin played away against Lecce and won.

In the No.15 round of Serie A, Turin played against Fiorentina at home, with a tie.

Perhaps, judging from Turin's record, his victories and defeats can be almost half and half.However, in the Serie A standings, Turin, a team that has just been promoted to the Italian Serie A this season as the Italian Serie B champion this season, is already ranked eighth in total points.

The jump from No.18 to No.8 has been the most talked about achievement in Serie A in recent years.What's more... this season's Serie A has just been halfway through.In the remaining dozen or so rounds, it is entirely possible for Turin to win a better result.

Torino's rapid rise in the Serie A rankings has attracted the attention of several TV stations.

They wanted to get the live broadcast of the Torino team through the live broadcast rights of the Serie A league sold collectively by the Italian Professional Football League.However, the Turin team announced that the Torino team has joined the independent sale of television broadcasting rights.This means that after the winter break, TV stations that still want to broadcast Torino games need to buy his TV broadcast rights from Torino instead of the Italian Professional Football League.

This is really a major event in Serie A.

You know, at the beginning, the sale of football TV rights by the Italian Professional Football League was collective.However, due to the influence of various political forces, the Italian anti-monopoly department stipulated new guidelines in July 1999.Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Lazio have since sold television rights independently.The rest of the clubs have reservations about this and choose to let the Italian Professional Football League continue to sell the broadcasting rights on their behalf.

However, such a policy finally slowly showed its drawbacks.

The Big Five clubs are getting richer from selling TV rights independently, while the other clubs they play get less and less from TV rights.

When the wealth gap between the rich clubs and the ordinary Serie A teams broke through a peak, a series of troubles followed.

Until a few years ago, there began to be Italian Serie A teams that refused to play against the big five clubs.This means that if the situation does not improve, Serie A will become a confrontation between five teams.This is of course only a joke.However, the situation has reached an impasse that cannot be broken.

In the end, it was the Italian Football Association who came forward to come up with a compromise.

Any team can independently sell the TV rights if they want.But 30% of the proceeds they get from selling TV rights will go to the Italian Football League.The 30% of the previous payment will be distributed by the Italian Football Professional League to clubs that have played games with these five teams in accordance with the principles of fairness and justice.

This is the solution proposed by the Italian Football Federation.A solution that is acceptable to both parties in the head-on conflict.

And now, the Turin team, which returned to Serie A after three years, actually stood up at this time and said that they would join the camp of independently selling TV broadcasting rights.This can really be called a big enough news.

In fact, when the news was announced on Torino's official website, other club operators who retained the right to sell the TV rights independently were secretly mocking Torino's overreach.

Yes, Torino fans are very fanatical and extremely loyal to the team.On this point, it is enough to be convincing that the Turin team has been wandering between the second division and the first division all year round, but can still have similar income in tickets as the traditional strong team Roma.However, Turin is only the third largest city in Italy, with a total population of only 120 million.

It was too much of a stretch to join the camp of independently selling TV broadcasting rights with such wealth.

However, when all the dust settled, something unexpected happened to the Turin team again.A little-known Italian TV station made a move and spent [-] million euros to buy their three-year independent TV broadcasting rights from the Turin team.

This is almost not much worse than the price of the independent TV rights of the world's top ten clubs, which naturally surprised the Italian professional football league.Almost everyone shouted that this is impossible when they heard the news.However, the wind direction of public opinion seems to be slowly turning in a week's time.

Some people say that the TV station may be determined to spend such a large price because of Francisco, a player with great commercial value and outstanding professionalism.And they also concluded that with one Francisco alone, Torino's independent TV rights could be worth a lot.

Some people even said that the TV station may have a longer-term view on the Asian market.

Many media trolls began to count the reasons why the Turin team's independent TV rights can be sold for so much money.However, no matter how the media gives a perfect explanation, this matter is really too absurd.

The French "Marca" even published such an article: "A bold club meets a businessman who is bolder than him"

All in all, Torino's high-priced independent TV rights have caused some frenzy in Italy, and even the energy of this shocking news has spread to other parts of Europe.Even the Turin team and the Italian TV station named HAR have become famous in European football.

At the same time, many veteran teams in the five major leagues who have reservations about selling TV rights independently are beginning to move.

But maybe... the truth behind the facts is far more than what the public sees.

Serie A No.16 round, Torino played away against Inter Milan...

"Today's game is Torino's first game against Inter Milan this season! Three weeks ago, this team, which only returned to Serie A this season as champions of Serie B, was already at home Another team in the Milan duo. This team, which beat Juventus at home in the ninth round of the league, failed to continue his miracle in the end. This may be expected ending."

"So, what will Torino do at the San Siro in Milan? Ah, the Italian broadcasters have come up with the Inter Milan starting lineup. It looks like a 4·3·1·2 formation, An attacking midfielder is matched with two forwards. The Turin team formed a 4·3·3 formation this time. It should be said that this is an attacking formation that emphasizes the wing."

"The atmosphere of the home game made Inter Milan start a fierce offensive not long after the opening! It was a beautiful round of offensive! However, Inter Milan failed to create a chance to shoot in the penalty area! The ball was headed by a Torino player in the backcourt Ball clearance! Well done!! They started a fierce battle in the middle of the midfield! Possession is constantly alternating between the feet of the two players! It was a beautiful start!"

In a high-end residential area in the city center, a wide-screen TV that is almost as good as a theater is playing the No.16 round of Serie A, the away match between Torino and Inter Milan.

The floor of this residential building is very high, and almost the entire living room is surrounded by balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, making it look so sunny.However, it is already December after all, and there is light snow floating outside the window.But this room is warm like spring because of the sufficient heating of the radiator.The floor is even equipped with a geothermal system, so that people will not feel cold even if they walk on it with bare feet, or just lie on it with a shirt on.

At this time, a blond young man was sitting on the sofa in front of the widescreen TV.A man in a suit and vest respectfully placed a plate of chocolate soft heart cake dotted with strawberry jam and whipped cream on the coffee table in front of the blond man.

"Sir, your cake is just out of the oven."

"Thank you."

"Pair it with Jack Daniels?"

"Yes."

Hearing the blond man's answer, the man in a suit and vest quickly poured him half a glass of wine, then bowed to the blond young man before backing away.In other words, he actually just retreated further away, but did not leave the living room, so that he could quickly walk to the blond man when he needed him.

The blond man... was Carl.

This young man with Jewish blood in his body is now seriously watching the match between Turin and Inter Milan. His eyes can't stop staying on the No. 11 player of the Torino Yue Yihuang on the screen.And on the coffee table in front of him, besides cake and wine, there was also a stack of quotations about a number of Chinese TV stations asking HAR TV for the TV rights of the Torino team...
