Football red and black years

The players from Real Madrid arrived at the hotel in about 40 minutes. After asking the waiter and knowing that the place was basically settled, the players from Milan went to visit Real Madrid under the leadership of our handsome big cat captain!

After all, we have a lot of old acquaintances, so we still have to say hello at this time!

Maldini rescued Kaka from Carlos' claws tiredly, and looked at Carlos with rather accusing eyes: You are not afraid of crushing such a delicate face. If it is really crushed, you Brazilian team The appearance should be lowered to another level!

"Well, it's really nice here!" Ronaldo looked at the hotel, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with it.

Ronaldo should be satisfied. For this joint China trip between Milan and Real Madrid, the organizers can be said to have spent a lot of money! Hundreds of first-class air tickets have been prepared.Not to mention that even the armed police were mobilized to ensure travel safety.

Moreover, Milan and Real Madrid not only came here this time, but even the food materials that the players usually need to strictly control were shipped from Europe, and these were all paid by the organizers!

The catering department of the Beijing Hotel has been extremely busy these days. All 15 Swiss super chefs have been transferred to serve the players of Real Madrid and Milan, and the meals are arranged strictly according to the recipes provided by the two teams.During the few days from July 7th to August 30nd, the Beijing Hotel will be responsible for all board and lodging for all the team members of Real Madrid, Milan and China Dragons, as well as the journalists accompanying the team.

The rooms prepared by the Beijing Hotel for the Real Madrid, Milan and China Dragons usually cost about 300 US dollars a day.

Moreover, the Beijing Hotel has prepared more than 500 rooms like this, guaranteeing one room per person, and the entire floor will be guarded by special guards.

All of these are charged. Although the income of Beijing Hotel cannot be estimated now, the long-term income is unlimited.Preliminary calculations were made, based on the calculation of 300 yuan for each team member's room, then the 500-day accommodation fee for 3 people would be close to 450 million yuan, plus food and beverages, enough to make the organizers bleed.

But the wool comes from the sheep, and the organizer will never lose money!Although the peripherals of Milan and Real Madrid, especially the jerseys, are all contracted by Adidas, the other income is still enough for the organizers to make a lot of money!

"By the way, have you got this thing?" Ronaldo asked, taking out the new mobile phone specially sent by Apple that he received before coming to China.

"Got it, let's attend the iPhone conference the morning after tomorrow!" Maldini said, looking at the phone in Ronaldo's hand.

How could Scarlett let go of such a good publicity opportunity for the joint China tour between Real Madrid and Milan?Of course, Apple values ​​the influence of this time even more, so on the morning of August 8st, Real Madrid and Milan will participate in the new product launch event of Adidas and Apple!

The players went to rest after chatting here, but it was not so easy for Scarlett. Some things had to be unified before the press conference.

The next morning, players from Milan and Real Madrid visited the Forbidden City according to the arrangement, but they left in two groups.The club officials specifically informed the organizer that this is a real visit, and it is best to keep a low profile, low profile and low profile.

Judging from the situation reflected in the market, although Real Madrid and Milan received a lot, Real Madrid and Milan are still the cash cows of the organizers!

Even Scarlett also learned that the tickets for the game on August 8st had been sold at sky-high prices on the black market, which would be a disaster for the image of Milan and Real Madrid.In order to separate Milan and Real Madrid from the label of "black-hearted capitalist", Milan and Real Madrid have to find a way to remedy it!

But this is still a matter for the top management of Milan and Real Madrid. The players are still visiting the Forbidden City!

"Well, this is really different from the ancient castle in Parma!" Ancelotti looked at the surrounding ancient buildings and took pictures everywhere with the camera in his hand.

"Uh... Paul, are you here too?" Zidane touched the top of his head, which was already reflective in the sun, and said to Maldini.

"Yes, I think oriental plants are very characteristic." Maldini pointed to a pot of plants that are rarely seen in Europe.

"This...it should be called orchids. It is said that in Chinese customs, it can increase the probability of having a boy!" Ancelotti took out the very detailed book Scarlett gave, including introductions to various attractions in the Forbidden City. I looked at the manual written in Italian and said.

"Having a boy?" Ma Damiao looked at Raul and Zidane who were curiously touching the potted plant, and silently retracted their cat's paws.

He already has two sons, and there is no need for more. Thinking about the sons of Zidane and Raul, who can form a futsal team no matter how hard they work, they think that there are only two cubs in the family!

only……

Thinking of the press conference in the afternoon, Maldini looked at the still very immature Raul and sighed. He didn't know that this little guy was stunned!

Before going out this morning, Scarlett specifically informed him and Ancelotti about the precautions for this afternoon's press conference, and at the same time let Maldini remember to remind the players that if they encounter reporters sneaking questions outside, they should not say anything. Everything will be said at the press conference in the afternoon.

But seeing the immature Raul Maldini still felt not so "safe" in his heart.

There is no problem with Milan, the old fox Ancelotti, the naturally black-bellied Scarlett, and Maldini who has been trained in front of the media's microphone for so many years.

But Real Madrid is not so easy to say, Florentino has no problem, Queiroz should be able to withstand it, but Raul...

Maldini had several question marks in his heart!But some things require the captain to come forward, and according to the tradition of Real Madrid, Raul was the captain of Real Madrid after Hierro left the team. At this time, if you replace him with someone else just for the sake of speaking out, the follow-up impact will only be more serious. It's disaster level!

So at the press conference in the afternoon, Raul had to stand up if he could stand up, and if he couldn't stand up, he still had to stand up.It's just that the reporters will start with Raul, who seems to have the best breakthrough!

-------------------------

Inzaghi, Nesta and Pirlo strolled in the Forbidden City together, and most of the players scattered away in order not to attract too much attention.

For example, Kiev Little Nightingale hooked up with Ka Xiaozhu and wandered around after leaving Big Meow.

Regarding Kaka, the unanimous opinion of Milan's black-bellied sky group is that Milan's defense is very black-bellied, Milan's midfielder is very black-bellied, and Milan's forwards are also very black-bellied. How can Kaka children's shoes be so simple?

After all, how can you bully Gattuso if you are innocent!So belly black is a must!

As for how to make Ka Xiaozhu black-bellied...

That, that Sheva from Kiev has milk candy on the outside and a little nightingale on the inside, how to make Kaka black is up to you!

I have to say that this approach is in line with Milan's feng shui, but...

Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you did this?

Milan's black belly group: our conscience is very happy!We are preventing our children from being bullied by others!

The press conference in the afternoon was held in a hall of the Beijing Hotel. Scarlett, Ancelotti, Galliani, Maldini in Milan, Florentino, Queiroz and Barda in Real Madrid. Nuo and Raul attended the press conference.On the side of the Chinese Dragon Team, the head coach Qi Wusheng, Zhu Guanghu, Qi Hong, Zhou Ting and others attended the press conference.

It was okay at the beginning, the reporters just asked some questions about the future prospect, but a reporter's question pushed the tension of the press conference to the peak.

"Chairman Osvia, why did AC Milan and Real Madrid charge a sky-high price to the organizers for this trip to the Far East? Is this move suspected of plundering funds from the Asian football market?" said a female reporter. Quite a tough question.

At this time, it was Scarlett who was the main speaker. From the English accent of the reporter, Scarlett probably heard that she should be a reporter from Malaysia.

Malaysia!

Scarlett wanted to rub her temples very much at this time, but Blatter and Platini did not hesitate to use any means to suppress these super giants in Europe!

And many people would not hesitate to seek skin from tigers for some right to speak.

Scarlett understands the desire of Asian football to get a share of European football's discourse power in international football, but the discourse power requires strength and achievements!

Asian football has been quite mediocre on the stage of international competitions in the past ten years. South Korea entered the semi-finals of the World Cup last year, but how did the semi-finals come about?Not only will this not increase the right to speak, but it will add a rather ugly touch to Asian football!

But eager for quick success is an unavoidable problem for many people. After 2002, many people in the Asian football field wanted to further expand the discourse power of Asian football in the world.

In fact, Real Madrid and Milan also took a fancy to the idea of ​​Asian football wanting to expand their influence, so they made this joint trip to the Far East.

To put it bluntly, the arrival of Milan and Real Madrid in Asia once again set off the football fever in Asia that has slightly dissipated since the end of the World Cup last year, and once again aroused people's attention to football.

After Milan and Real Madrid initially drove the market, those sports companies carried out further market development, and the high appearance fee was the advertising cost of those sports companies for Milan and Real Madrid.

However, when Milan and Real Madrid came to Asia this time, AFC Secretary-General Verapan publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the high appearance fees of Maryland and Real Madrid!

Real Madrid and Milan's appearance fees in Beijing are both 200 million euros.And Milan's game against Shenhua in Shanghai Greenland Group offered an appearance fee of 150 million euros.

In partnership with Asian Sports Development (ASD), a 6-year contract was signed.In the first three years of the contract period, Real Madrid and Milan will receive at least 3 million euros in revenue, and this figure is expected to increase to 2200 million euros. Of course, this part has not been announced!

Of course, this does not include many "intangible incomes" such as the free training facilities and five-star accommodation conditions provided by the Hongta Club and the Greenland Group behind Shenhua to Real Madrid and Milan.As well as Adidas and Apple payments to Real Madrid and Milan for their commercial activities.

The secretary-general of the Asian Football Confederation, Verapan, expressed dissatisfaction with the "sky-high" appearance fees of Real Madrid and Milan on July 7, and described Real Madrid and Milan as "vampires" and "mercenary".

But do you think other teams are asking for less?Manchester United and Juventus in the United States, and Inter Milan and Bayern in Australia, although the appearance fees for each game seem to be only 80 to 100 million euros, but what they can get is the broadcast share and ticket share.European giants go to play business games, which one can not make nearly [-] million euros at a time?

You played charity matches every time!

The problem Scarlett and Florentino are facing now is to block Verapan back in this way.

And Verapan not only sprayed Real Madrid and Milan, but also Inter Milan and Bayern in Australia, as well as Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Birmingham City in the Premier League in Thailand and Malaysia.

"About the preparations for the preseason, our income should be composed of appearance fees, broadcast share and ticket share. The totality of these incomes constitutes the income of all preseason games. The above-mentioned components are inversely proportional to each other. !About this time, there is almost no proportion between the ticket revenue and the broadcast revenue divided into AC Milan and Real Madrid. You can also confirm this to Chairman Florentino!" Scarlett said while shifting the topic to Buddha. rorentino.

What a joke, it's so possible that she blocked the gun by herself, so as good allies, it's natural for everyone to feel the same way!

"Indeed, as President Osvia said, Real Madrid and AC Milan's trip to the Far East has almost no share of ticket revenue and broadcast revenue. Even the seemingly huge sales of jerseys are made by Adidas. Sales. Although Real Madrid and AC Milan receive a certain share of the profits from jersey sales, the share is not much." Florentino could only continue talking with Scarlett's microphone.It’s just that he silently complained in his heart: It’s just that Real Madrid’s share is not much. The two major shareholders of Adidas are Scarlett’s brother and friend. How much!

After all, the joint press conference held by Real Madrid and Milan had to bring the organizer from China. The organizer was very discerning and saw that several members participating in the press conference were gesturing to him.The meaning is obvious: quickly change the subject!

The leader of the football association who presided over the press conference coughed lightly and quickly changed the topic to the upcoming dragon-horse battle.

This also made the faces of Qi Wusheng and Zhu Guanghu who were sitting on the side look better.After all, from the very beginning, those reporters caught Milan and Real Madrid asking non-stop, completely ignoring the local Chinese coaches and players.

Maldini listened to the translator's thoughts on the pre-match declaration of the "Football Cup" by the person in charge of the Chinese sports industry who had already slipped to other places.

Yes, people from the Football Association call this competition the "Football Cup" and plan to continue to develop this cup in the future. The rules of the game are to invite 1-2 European giants to China to participate in this cup. The participating teams will win or lose. Get great bonuses

If there is no problem with this operation, even if the gap between Chinese football and European giants cannot be quickly narrowed, it will often remind Chinese football of the gap between them and European giants!

Of course, the premise is that there is no problem with the operation!

What Maldini thought in his heart was much more complicated. Trapattoni came to him several times hoping to let him return to the national team.

After all, next year is the year of the European Cup, and so far the best left-back in Italy under the four-back system is still Maldini.

If you need a three-back system, then the three-back system with Maldini, Cannavaro and Nesta is the best choice!

Big Miao wanted to quit the national team after the 2002 World Cup. It was pure anger. Sometimes the team would make a fool of a stupid wolf in Rome, and that big bear who was not serious at all.

Externally...

Everyone knows the reason for this!

And this time Trapattoni also made it clear that in order to let Maldini return to the national team, he will strictly manage the army, and resolutely put an end to the drifting of the big bear and the stupidity of the silly wolf.

In fact, Trapattoni's main purpose is to transplant the main force of Milan's team into Dali's national team. He even intends to copy the main tactics of An Pang's.

As for the other non-Italian main positions in the Milan team, we can pick some people from Juventus and other clubs in Rome, and then tinker and tinker and take them to Portugal to play in the European Cup!

Played for the national team for 14 years, but failed to bring the country a championship trophy.This is also a pity for Da Miao. Maybe he should play for Italy again in the 2004 European Cup?

Maldini is worried about the national team and Raul is also slipping away, and he is worried about the club's cheating.

Morientes plans to go to Monaco on loan because Ronaldo lost his main position.

The contract issue between Makelele and the club is still not settled.In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Real Madrid would be a joke without Makelele.

But Valdano didn't know what he was thinking, he fully expressed the importance he attached to Makelele.Now Raul probably knows that Makelele's agent is already negotiating a transfer with another team!

In the past, Real Madrid did not have Redondo and Makelele, but now Redondo is in Milan and Milan signed a 1+1 contract with him. It seems that it is impossible for Redondo to return to Real Madrid .And Makelele is leaving again, who should Real Madrid's midfielder be handed over to?

Not to mention Real Madrid's long-standing locker room problem!In fact, Raul knows that there are also many problems in Milan's locker room, but Maldini is more able to restrain the contradictions in the locker room than him.

On August 2003, 8, the Beijing Workers' Stadium was packed.

Scarlett was a little helpless standing on the rostrum and watching the opening ceremony, which was comparable to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.The organizer really regarded this competition as a performance!

After discussing urgently with Florentino yesterday to deal with the rumors about Real Madrid and Milan raking in money, Scarlett approached the person in charge of Adidas overnight and asked them to issue three jerseys.The jerseys of Real Madrid and Milan are composed of half jerseys respectively, and the jerseys of the Chinese Dragon Team are also composed of half jerseys of Real Madrid and Milan.These three jerseys will be signed by the participating players of both sides after the three games, and will be auctioned together with the three game balls at the end, and all the money will be donated to charity.

Thanks to Adidas for contracting all the jerseys of the three teams this time. Adidas employees have sent these three special jerseys overnight!

Scarlett looked at the assistant coming over and asked, "How's it going?"

"All the jerseys have been signed by Chinese players, but due to time constraints, our players have not yet started signing!"

"Let's take our time and talk about it during the intermission." Scarlett said.

After all, this event was decided on a temporary basis. Real Madrid and Milan players are also relatively easy to find, but it is not so easy to find Chinese players who are not so familiar with them.

And in order to get the signatures smoothly, Real Madrid and Milan also took out several signed jerseys to exchange for Chinese players.

When Scarlett and the assistant were talking, the lottery had already been drawn.There will be a halftime match between Real Madrid and the Chinese Dragons, and then the winner will play against Milan.

The team gets three points for a half-time win, one point for a tie and no points for a loss.If the final points are the same, look at the goal difference ranking.

Scarlett looked at the starting list of the two lineups made by Queiroz and Ancelotti and felt a little amused.

These two have been negotiated to play with a lineup of main players and substitutes?However, it is also understandable that no coach would want to put all the main players in such a complete pre-season commercial game.

And in fact, the kind of "touching" tacit understanding that was temporarily recruited especially among Chinese players really made the head coach have no desire to be the main force.

Queiroz is also interesting. Including overtime, the total is only 50 minutes. In the end, he changed players seven or eight times.

Morientes and Cambiasso each scored a goal and Real Madrid ended the 2-minute game 0-50.

After a short break, Real Madrid and Milan started the second half of the match.

Although it was a friendly match, Ancelotti still wanted to use Real Madrid's extremely rare attacking group to test his defense.

Italy's chain defense remained powerful, and Real Madrid relied on Cassie's high-profile defense to keep the goal clean.

Scarlett looked at the scene on the field and once again sympathized with Cassie.This is simply the eyes of all defenses except Makelele!

Real Madrid's defense line, which used to fly on both wings, has actually become a dilemma with no one to defend as Carlos and Salgado get older.If the strength of the central defender is not increased, it is hard to say that the 30-year-old Makelele can still support Real Madrid's defense for a few years!

But Scarlett has wronged Florentino a bit in the matter of defenders. He also really wants to buy a central defender. Now he looks at Cannavaro and Nesta on the field with greedy eyes!

But Florentino also knew that this summer, many teams offered two central defenders like Milan, but Milan refused directly.Even facing the offer from new Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard, Milan directly told Black Swan, one of the former Three Musketeers: "Cannavaro and Nesta are not buys for the team! "

According to the information collected by Florentino, Milan did not even hesitate when rejecting the exorbitant transfer fee offered by his old friend.You must know that Barcelona's offer to Milan is worth hundreds of millions of euros!

As for why you asked Lafayette why he didn't find other central defenders when he knew that Cannavaro and Nesta had no hope...

One is that a good central defender is not for sale by any team.The second is that Real Madrid is a place to look at temperament. What is needed are defenders like Cannavaro and Nesta whose appearance and playing style are in line with Real Madrid's aristocratic temperament!

In the end, Real Madrid and Milan ended the half-time game 0:0, and the next game is between Milan and the Chinese Dragon Team!

Ancelotti replaced Shevchenko and Rui Costa shortly after the start of the game, and replaced them with Kaka and Ambrosini.At the same time, Seedorf also moved forward and formed an offensive midfielder with Kaka, and Milan changed into 4321.

In the end, Inzaghi successfully scored a goal against offside in the opening No. 208 minutes, and Milan achieved a small victory.

In the end, Milan and Real Madrid had four points each, but Real Madrid won the game on goal difference.

After the game, the players of the three teams presented bouquets to the angels in white who were working on the front line of the fight against SARS. Milan and Real Madrid also announced the auction of the three special jerseys.

Real Madrid and Milan went to the airport the next day after the game.Milan will fly directly back to Italy to complete the final training before the UEFA Super Cup, and Real Madrid will go to Japan to continue their trip to Asia!
