Chapter 008 Difficult Football Association
The flights taken by Manchester City team arrived at Capital International Airport, and they were welcomed by a grand and warm welcome at the airport.
Hundreds of fans were waiting early in the airport pick-up hall. When they saw the whole Manchester City team coming out of the VIP passage, they screamed excitedly.
Seeing so many fans coming to greet, Manchester City players were shocked. They knew the situation of their team and thought it would be good to have dozens of fans coming to greet them. You know, Manchester City is not a giant like Manchester United, and they have very little influence when they leave England.
Manchester City has been to China and has been to China before. However, although there were fans coming to greet them at that time, there were only dozens of fans. Moreover, many fans came to visit Sun Jihai, the Chinese international.
However, these Manchester City players immediately knew why these fans welcomed them so warmly.
"Zhang Yang!!!"
"Welcome, Zhang Yang!"
"I love you, Zhang Yang!!"
"Zhang Yang, good!"
"Zhang Yang, you are the best!"
"Zhang Yang, here, here!"
"Zhang Yang! Whether in Milan or Manchester City, we will always support you! You are our pride!"
"Zhang Yang, we are proud of you!"
"Long live the silence!"
"Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, can you sign an autograph? I came here specially from Shandong."
"Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang! Thank you!"
Although I can't understand what they are saying when I see these enthusiastic fans, these Manchester City players see the portraits of these Chinese fans holding up high and looking at the jerseys they are wearing, and they know who they are coming for!
Some of these fans wore Manchester City's No. 10 jerseys, some wore Milan's No. 7 jerseys, and some wore Marseille's No. 11 jerseys. The names behind these jerseys are "ZHANG"!
Fans screamed!
Some fans who have received Zhang Yang's signature cheered excitedly, but those who have not received it looked regretful. Fans who are lucky enough to take the time to take photos with Zhang Yang with their mobile phones or cameras will undoubtedly become the lucky ones in everyone's eyes.
"Zhang Yang, we love you!"
"Zhang Yang, we are willing to accompany you together!"
Zhang Yang was also surprised by the enthusiasm of domestic fans, especially some female fans, who were no less than female fans abroad. He covered his face when he was secretly kissed by female fans and smiled. He liked the atmosphere!
Manchester City Club Chairman Alfaim, General Manager Cook, and especially the latter, were extremely happy to see Zhang Yang being cheered by fans by the crazy cheers of the Chinese star. Although he had just arrived in China, he truly felt the country's love for Zhang Yang.
"He is the well-deserved sports NO1 in this country!" Alfaim said, his words were also full of pride. Introducing Zhangyang was his proud work.
"No, to be precise, they even regard Zhang as a national hero." The Chinese receptionist in charge of this commercial competition said to the two in English.
Seeing the crazy and warm welcome atmosphere in the airport reception hall, Manchester City players were amazed. They had seen Zhang Yang's influence in China. They just returned to China with the team to participate in commercial competitions. This welcome attitude was so crazy. This person's influence in China can be seen.
"Zhang's influence is too great. Even Messi in Argentina does not have such influence!" Zabaleta said that he is a player of the Argentine National Olympic Team and will represent the Argentine National Olympic Team in the Beijing Olympics. Now the Argentine National Olympic Team has not arrived in China yet. In order to get familiar with his club teammates as soon as possible, Zabaleta came to China in advance with the club teammates. He will meet with the Argentine National Olympic Team in a few days.
Sun Jihai smiled and said, "In addition to Messi, there are Tevez, including Mascherano and Riquelme. However, in China, only he can make fans so proud of him." He said in English. Because he was speaking to his teammates, he didn't have too much concern about speaking. Otherwise, if Sun Jihai faced the media, he would not dare to say such words. This would offend many people in China, especially the Football Association would be very upset.
"Fortunately, Zhang did not participate in the Olympics, otherwise even Argentina would have a headache," said Zabaleta.
At this time, Ellano was giving Zhang Yang a thumbs up, "Zhang, you have a great influence in your country, and the fans are so enthusiastic."
Zhang Yang laughed when he heard this. The warm welcome from his compatriots and fans touched Zhang Yang and made him feel very proud! He just likes this atmosphere and this tone. This also satisfys Zhang Yang's vanity.
At the door of the hotel where you are staying, there were big banners hanging, "Welcome to the Premier League Manchester City team to the hotel", and "Warm welcome the stars Zhang Yang to the hotel".
With these two banners hanging, those who don’t know thought Zhang Yang and Manchester City were two groups of people.
However, this also expresses the attitude of China towards Zhangyang. They really like Zhangyang, are proud of him and proud of him!
Manchester City Club Chairman Alfaim walked out of the bus and saw these two banners, and naturally a translator next to him translated what was written on it to him. He was worried that this behavior in the hotel would make these two Manchester City Club executives unhappy. After all, such banners are suspected of putting Zhang Yang above Manchester City.
However, what surprised the translator was that neither Manchester City Club Chairman Alfaim nor the club general manager Cook showed an unhappy expression, but instead looked very satisfied. He couldn't figure it out. These people were Zhang Yang's leaders. Don't you get angry when you see Zhang Yang's "scattered the enemy"?!
What he naturally couldn't understand was that for Manchester City senior executives like Alfaim or Cook, they would only be happy to see Chinese fans like Zhang Yang so much, and would not be jealous of Zhang Yang. The more Zhang Yang is liked by fans, it means that they are correct in buying Zhang Yang! They are also optimistic about developing the Asian market, especially developing the Chinese market!
In their eyes, interests are the first priority. As for the so-called face, they don’t need to be paid attention to. Besides, it is understandable that Chinese fans like Zhang Yang. If they say they admire the Chairman and General Manager of Manchester City Club, they still don’t believe it.
When Zhang Yang came out of the bus, it caused another stir among the fans and media outside the hotel. The fans shouted Zhang Yang's name and flashed.
CCTV has always been the super boss in China's TV media and has an unparalleled status, so they have also been qualified to interview Zhang Yang.
"Thank you for your welcome. I'm very happy. Speaking of which, everyone also makes me feel very proud. Ellano was still envious of me just now." Zhang Yang said to the microphone.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene. It was the first time that everyone had such a close contact with Zhang Yang. When he heard him speak, he was not as proud as the stars of the Chinese national team. Instead, he was very ordinary, and everyone laughed happily.
"I'm very happy, but now I'm full of motivation. I know everyone is here to do something. You are here to come and play football. This is the greatest encouragement for me. Therefore, I will play this game very seriously and will definitely make everyone worth the ticket price."
There was another burst of cheers and applause among the fans at the scene.
"Did you see it? This is Zhang Yang. He is a big star, so it's so easy to talk to."
"Yes, it's much easier to talk to than those in China."
"Don't compare those people in China with Zhang Yang, they are the only ones!"
"Yes, people who are truly capable are humble."
The fans at the scene were very happy, but some reporters looked a little bad. What did Zhang Yang mean? Is he going to start a big kill? Could it be that he still remembers his grudges with the Football Association and knows that his opponent is the National Olympic Team, he wants to start a big kill and lose face to the Football Association?!
Thinking of this, some people's expressions are unnatural. They are people with pretty good relationships with the Football Association. No matter how bad the people are, they have a few friends. In the media circle, the Football Association still has many friends. They are really worried about the upcoming game.
They naturally know the strength of the National Olympic Team. Although the Football Association leaders put satellites and said that the goal of the National Olympic Team is to enter the semi-finals, everyone understands the real strength.
Zhang Yang's strength is also visible to all the world. If Zhang Yang really goes all out, this game will be a tragedy. The Beijing Olympics is about to start. If he is massacred and the attack is still Zhang Yang, who has been called by fans to recruit into the national team, will be a big fun.
As Manchester City arrives in Beijing, the popularity of this game between Manchester City and the Chinese National Olympic Team continues to heat up.
The sales of tickets for this game were not ideal. Even if the party on the game is the current favorite of the Football Association, the National Olympic Team, which has brought some popularity to the game, the ticket sales are still not very satisfactory. However, since Zhang Yang joined Manchester City, the sales of tickets have begun to become quite popular. Especially Manchester City had previously announced that Zhang Yang had decided to come to China with the team to participate in this game with the National Olympic Team. The sales of tickets for this game can be described as crazy snatching up. The remaining tickets were sold out within a few hours!
Not only that, in the face of such a commercial game, the enthusiasm of the fans was completely ignited. In the hands of the scalpers, they had already sold the tickets to 3,000 yuan each, and there were fans rushing to ask for them... It can be said that there is a price but no market!
At this time, it was still in Beijing, a room with very luxurious decoration.
"He really said that?" a middle-aged man with a somewhat bald face asked in a deep voice.
Opposite him were two men of about the same age as him.
"Yeah." One of them nodded and snorted coldly, "There are reports on TV."
"What does he mean?" The bald man slammed the table, "Is he threatening the Football Association? Is he demonstrating?! What does he want to do?! Has he considered the consequences? Does he still want to play football?"
Another middle-aged man with a national face frowned. He always looked down on this bald man. If it weren't for the fact that he had the handle on the bald man, he wouldn't have been left behind.
The bald man is naturally like Yalong, and his national character is Nan Yong.
The Chinese Football Association created a political miracle: Nan and Nan were the top leader. This dual-core system was later used by Zhu Guanghu in the national football team, which was very failed. Many reporters used to treat Xie as the top leader and Nan as the second leader, but in fact, whether in terms of level (all in the main bureau), the scope of the affairs, or the position in the minds of the leaders of the General Administration, the two were not distinguished. For a while, Nan Yong was like Oboi who was respectful, trying to compete with Jia Yalong, who was like Soetu.
Almost succeeded, and a great thing happened with Yalong when he was in a state of grief. AiFox, the title manager of the Chinese Super League, had a big problem. He originally sponsored 6 million euros a year (about 60 million yuan), but after giving a small down payment, the company disappeared. The company was rich and generous at the time. It was said that it was an international company specializing in the Internet phone business. It helped a lot when it ran naked in the Chinese Super League, and the person responsible for handling this sponsor was Nan Yong.
This is a very strange event. Now I can't figure out how Nan Yong was caught. Let's take it hard to introduce it. IFox is a company that makes internet phone calls. The English registration name is IPHOX. IFox is the translation method of the Chinese Football Association. It sounds like IFox. The server of this company's official website is registered in Texas, and its parent company is in the UK. The company itself is in the town of St. Heli, Jersey, a small island in the southern UK. According to measurements, the island is more than 100 kilometers away from the UK, which is actually closer to France.
This is a strange company. After it disappeared, it called to Texas, USA. No one answered the number. The number was cancelled. I checked the official website traffic online. Only 22 people had registered online. It was probably during the initial technical test. Later, I found that the company had no phone number at all. To find it, I had to register its pre-call number (similar to China's 17951 or 17909), but these two pre-call numbers were also cancelled. In other words, this company has never existed, but it actually signed a contract of RMB 60 million per year with the Chinese Super League. The Chinese signer was Nan Yong.
According to the norm, Nan Yong involved the loss of state-owned assets. Although it was a bit of a slander for the country when treating the Chinese Super League as state-owned assets, the reason was that, so Xie Yalong, who was at a disadvantage at the time, jumped up with joy for a moment. Later, he thought that the situation was complicated, and even though Comrade Cui was not there, he pulled himself down with his legs.
This incident made Nan Yong lose face and was in a state of concession in the next three years of cooperation. Because if Qi Yalong got angry and asked for audit, Nan Yong would be in trouble. The struggles in the officialdom were not to be taken care of, but this Ai Fox really loved Fux, because it caused the trend of Chinese football in the following years: Nan Yong was discussed by Qi Yalong to take charge of the national team, sometimes to the National Olympic team, sometimes to the league, and sometimes to the league. Several vice chairmen were like playing with large-scale movements. The league was changed every six months, and the vacuum of the league came out, and all kinds of fake balls were made, and the betting on the ball became even more rampant. Although the past was chaotic, although the cat was lazy, the mouse was always afraid. Now the cat was sent out to play soy sauce, sometimes to do push-ups, and sometimes to see the scenery... The matter of Chinese football is not afraid of people not being ignored, but people being controlled.
Nan Yong is a cunning person and has ruthless methods, but he has his own experience in the national team (whether they are scientific or not discussed here). However, when Yalong saw that the national team had good results, he went to the national team and adjusted the Nanyou National Olympic Team. Once, he saw Du Yi playing well, and ran back to manage the national Olympic Team. In order to balance Nan Yong's foundation in the national team, he specially created a "team committee". The team committee was actually the eunuch supervisor, and eventually caused a thing like the male leader throwing toothpicks at the women's football girl. The national team, the women's football team defeated the entire line.
Well, I've said too much. Actually, it's just one thing, that is, Nan Yong thinks he is more qualified to ask questions than Qi Yalong. He is also a professional talent, so he naturally looks down on Qi Yalong, a boss who comes from a track and field. Unfortunately, he was caught by this person after he was careless and could only be obedient.
However, he still despises someone with him in his bones.
So, when Nan Yong heard Xie Yalong roaring and said that Zhang Yang still wanted to play football, he sneered. This person has not yet figured out the situation? Zhang Yang is playing football abroad, and this person has almost nothing to do with domestic football. If the Football Association wants to deal with Zhang Yang, it is still impossible to use Zhang Yang except to fire Zhang Yang out of various national teams who have already taken action! If there is a little way, how can Zhang Yang be so rampant? Moreover, now it seems that the Football Association is also in a cocoon to dismiss Zhang Yang from the national team!
Media doubts and criticisms, fans' insults, and even voices from the upper class are doubting the wisdom of this matter. Without the "drag" of the national team, Zhang Yang can concentrate on the club competition and it will be smooth sailing. Instead, it seems that the Football Association is helping Zhang Yang. Nan Yong even considered that if Zhang Yang was in the national team, he would have a chance to deal with this boy who was not convinced. Now, even this opportunity is gone. However, if Zhang Yang is recalled to the national team, the Football Association will not be able to hold back this face and find someone last time
When communicating with Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang wanted to apologize first, and then the Football Association found a way out and recalled Zhang Yang back to the national team, but it was a waste of time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang was not afraid of the Football Association at all, and did not give the Football Association any face. Instead, he exposed the matter to the media, causing an uproar in public opinion, which made the Football Association very shameless. He immediately denied that he had asked someone to contact Zhang Yang, and there was no so-called saying that Zhang Yang apologized and then let Zhang Yang enter the national team. And he reiterated one thing, that is, Zhang Yang will always be fired from the national team!
The Football Association has no choice but to play football abroad with Zhang Yang's personality.
However, now the problem is. If Zhang Yang really starts a big fight with Manchester City and beats the National Olympic Team to the ground, and think about it with his butt, the Football Association will be in such an embarrassing situation!
Zhang Yang, a player who was excluded from the National Olympic Team, led a Premier League team to massacre the National Olympic Team, which was protected by the Football Association as a giant panda... This matter was a big deal!
Zhang Yang is only 22 years old and is a player of the age of men's football in the Olympics. The Football Association has no reason not to call Zhang Yang. Now, the Football Association hopes that Zhang Yang can be a few years older and belongs to the category of over-age players in the Olympics. At that time, although there will still be criticisms if Zhang Yang is not called, it is much better than now.
Therefore, these giants of the Football Association are in a difficult situation now, and this game cannot be cancelled now. Moreover, such dangerous situations are likely to occur. If they really happen, the Football Association will definitely fall into a new round of criticism.
"This situation must be avoided. We cannot cause trouble for the National Olympic Team. At a critical moment, the goal of entering the semi-finals must not be affected by any unexpected factors!" Xie Yalong slapped the table again.
"What do you think you should do?" Nan Yong said angrily, he only knows how to slap the table. If there is a bird, then will that kid be obedient?
Xie Yalong looked at Nan Yong unhappily, and the latter was silent immediately. Now, Nan Yong rarely expresses his opinions, meaning, you can make an idea, we won’t fight or grab it, isn’t it okay!
He was in a difficult situation with Yalong. He had no choice but to do anything to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was going to get angry, but he had no choice.
At this time, I don’t know if it was a blessing like my heart. When the light of inspiration appeared, I slapped the table with Yalong.
Nan Yong glanced at Kai Yalong again, meaning, can you stop slapping the table?
"We can't do anything to that kid, but we can find a Manchester City club." Kai Yalong said excitedly.
"What?" Nan Yong was stunned and thought to himself, you are not sick, you can't even deal with Zhang Yang, and you still want to order other Premier League teams? Don't take Premier League teams seriously!
Kai Yalong ignored Nan Yong's sneer. He made a decision by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was really reliable!
He smiled proudly.
I glanced at Nan Yong and meant, do you know why you lost to me? I am smarter than you.
