Chapter 106 Conquest of Tokyo (1)
After participating in the 2007 European Golden Globes ceremony in Paris, Zhang Yang and Kaka returned to Milan overnight from Paris, because, the next day, they set off with the AC Milan team and set off for Japan to participate in the World Club Championship.
The predecessor of the World Club Cup was the Toyota Cup, but to put it bluntly, it was just a tool for FIFA to make money. Originally, the Toyota Cup was held well, and FIFA was jealous and insisted on grabbing the money tree in its own hands. So the World Club Cup was replaced by the World Club Cup, but FIFA cannot make the sponsors too disappointed, otherwise who will cooperate with them in the future. So, in order to appease the Japanese, FIFA decided that the World Club Cup would be held in Tokyo, Japan, which is a disguised compensation for the Japanese who lost the Toyota Cup.
Although the participating teams in the Club World Cup have expanded from two to four, in a sense, the value of this event has been greatly reduced. Because many teams that have never been heard of before can enter the Club World Cup to compete with European and American powers, some large scores that were difficult to imagine in the Toyota Cup have begun to appear in the game.
Of course, these four teams also refer to the four teams participating in the semi-finals. Before the semi-finals, there are still five teams to compete for two semi-finals. Among them, Urawa Ruby, the current Japanese J League, has been qualified to directly enter the quarter-finals as the host.
The pleasant voice of the Japanese Airlines flight attendant sounded, and the plane was about to land at Tokyo Narita Airport. This is not the first time AC Milan has come to Japan. After AC Milan won the Serie A championship in the 2003/2004 season, AC Milan once came to Japan to compete in commercial competitions in the summer of 2004. In Japan, AC Milan has many fans, and their popularity here is second only to Premier League giant Manchester United.
Among the younger generation in Japan, Premier League fans account for the majority. In addition, the old fans trained by Manchester United in the George Best era, and the Premier League are now becoming more and more beautiful and faster. Therefore, in Japan, fans like the Premier League giant Manchester United the most.
The Red and Black Legion's popularity in Japan and Indonesia is close to the Red Devils, but their marketing promotion in other Asian countries needs to be strengthened.
However, in China, AC Milan has the largest number of fans, and some media have conducted surveys, saying: If you are a Chinese fan over 25 years old, you must have a deep impression of the Milan dynasty. The 1990s were the golden age of Serie A, and AC Milan was a veritable dream team.
In addition, Serie A is the favorite league for Indonesian fans, so it is not surprising that Milan has the most fans. The three Dutch musketeers established AC Milan's position in the hearts of fans in this country. It is said that AC Milan vice chairman Galliani is already considering coming to Indonesia to play a warm-up match or two to make money next summer.
The moment AC Milan landed at Tokyo Narita Airport, they were crazy welcomed by Japanese fans. If you have to say that this is different from the time you visited Japan three years ago, it is that the enthusiasm shown by Japanese fans seems to be even more fanatical!
Why? AC Milan won the Serie A championship at that time, and this time they participated in the Club World Cup as European champions. Japan has always had a sense of awe of the strong, so it is understandable that they performed more enthusiastically and crazy this time.
In addition, there is another point, that is, Kaka's influence. In the eyes of Japanese media, Kaka's popularity in Japan is now close to Beckham during the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup. Especially for female fans, that one is crazy about Kaka!
Beckham's influence in Japan at that time is still a myth now.
As the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup is approaching, most Japanese female fans 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 guy player on TV and fashion magazines before. His handsomeness is simply indescribable. I want to take a look at 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's style. When Beckham appeared in front of them, the young girl was already screaming. Beckham's original bald hairstyle had been changed to his "moshit head", and the Japanese girls looked up at the hero in their hearts like movie stars.
Not only can Beckham make female students confused, but even housewives can't escape his charm. 26-year-old Japanese housewife Aikoakano said that Beckham's crazy exposure in Japanese media has rekindled her passion for this handsome guy. "I became his fan at the World Cup in France four years ago, and then I was pregnant and now the mother of two children. It was difficult to see him in Japanese media before, but recently he seems to have suddenly appeared in the flash of all media, which has rekindled my obsession with him."
On a small island in western Japan where England had trained in 2002, the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup, fans erected a bronze statue for Beckham, and next to the statue of Beckham is the statue of Buddhism's founder Shakyamuni. 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 excited as God." Perhaps it is because of the feeling of the crazy Japanese women towards Beckham. After that, every time Beckham goes to this island country, the hot girl will become a member of the wife's group and choose to accompany her.
Of course, don't think that only Beckham is popular in Japan. His teammate at Manchester United at that time was no exception. Ferdinand was a famous playboy at Manchester United. Although he was already a married man, the energy of Manchester United defenders was always inexhaustible. When visiting Japan, Ferdinand met Japanese actress CRARY Robinson, and later she became Ferdinand's secret lover in Tokyo. The famous British tabloid media "The Sun" once revealed that when Ferdinand had an affair with the actress in Japan, he was discovered by his wife Rebecca. The latter immediately flew directly to Tokyo and caught the two.
It's a long way to go. AC Milan has many fans in Japan. In addition to Kaka being very popular among Japanese fans, there is another point. Although the mainstream Japanese media do not want to admit it, there are many fans in Japan. Among AC Milan's stars, the favorite player of Japanese fans is Zhang Yang.
Considering that Zhang Yang is a Chinese player, it can be imagined that this makes the Japanese football world, which has always regarded himself as the boss in the Asian football world very depressed and embarrassing.
Japan has always looked down on Chinese football, but Zhang Yang asked them to worship him. After thinking about it carefully, this is not surprising at all!
Japan is an island country. Since ancient times, this nation has a personality that they like to bully the weak and have no sympathy. However, they always have a low self-esteem mentality towards those strong people. During World War II, the Japanese were arrogant and wanted to kill the Americans and become the master of the world. They were defeated by the Americans. Instead, the Japanese were not embarrassed and became extremely obedient to the Americans. This is also due to the nature of this nation.
If you are too far away, what you want to say is nothing more than one meaning. AC Milan, who came to Tokyo with the huge halo of European champions, is undoubtedly the strongest team recognized in world football now. Therefore, the entire AC Milan team deserves to be crazy welcomed by the Japanese.
At this time, at Narita Airport, Japanese fans almost surrounded the airport. Those who didn't know thought that there was a riot. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as crowded people.
When I heard that the flight that AC Milan was taking was about to arrive at the airport, the first thing I realized was the reporters who carried the guys and rushed to the entry office frantically.
Then, countless fans ran with them.
The airport security guards were panicked when they saw this fanatical crowd, but their responsibilities were all there to keep the public order quickly. They were different from these excited reporters and fans. Every time a big shot or a star came, their security tasks would be increased several times. The more popular the people came, the more unlucky they were. Now, the European champion AC Milan team came. There were many AC Milan fans in Japan, which was inevitable.
Not only Kaka and Zhang Yang are very popular among Japanese fans, but also in the AC Milan team, such handsome Italian guys such as Inzagi, Nesta, and Maldini, or the former Italian guys, have countless fans in Japan. In addition, don’t forget that there are also Ronaldo, and he 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 wrong, Ronnie, can't wait to get intimate with the Japanese actresses?"
Japanese actresses are the favorites of these wealthy players when visiting Japan. As long as they can afford money, these actresses are even willing to take an internal Infinitus photo with the stars.
"I wonder if I want to meet Alex again." Ronaldo said with some distress.
"Alex, who is that?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Alex..." Ronaldo was embarrassed when he heard Zhang Yang's question, "That's my son."
Zhang Yang widened his eyes. He didn't expect that he could even ask for gossip after asking casually.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhang Yang poked Ronaldo with his arm and said with a wink.
"You don't know about this?" Ronaldo was surprised.
Zhang Yang was depressed and thought to himself, why should I know this? Do I look like that kind of gossiping man? Or do you think your messy things are so eye-catching.
You can say nothing, this is really ignorant and ignorant. Ronaldo's messy things are almost known to the AC Milan team. There is no way. In the AC Milan team, which has always been known for family discipline and is known for being a "good man in the family", Ronaldo came and was revealed to have an illegitimate child in Japan. This matter is definitely big news, and it can be said that it has been known to everyone in Milan City. Some Milan players were also pulled by the media and asked them to express their opinions on this matter. Of course, everyone directly said that this is Roni's personal **, and it is not convenient for us to say anything. No one will gossip about this matter.
Seeing Zhang Yang really didn't know, Ronaldo blushed with embarrassment and said, "I'd better not say it, so as not to affect my noble image in your heart."
"Do you think you still have any image in my heart?" Zhang Yang said frankly with contempt.
