Section 42 The first trip to Asia (3)
"Dou!" Amid the referee's whistle, one-sided massacre finally ended. The 6:0 score made the Chinese players dejected one by one, and quickly left the stadium that left them with nightmares. Even the things they like to do after playing against foreign teams were forgotten.
As soon as the whistle sounded, Xiao Hua stood up and shook hands with Xu Fang, who looked a little ugly, and said. "Mr. Xu, I am very sorry for today's score, but I think this score is good for your Chinese football. I am bluntly saying that the future of Chinese football is still long! I sincerely hope that next time I come to China, I can see China's progress!" Xu Fang calmed down his ugly face and replied generously: "Mr. Musco! Thank you! Today you have taught me and the entire Chinese team well. I really hope that you can continue to visit China next year."
"Sure! Sure!" Xiao Hua responded to Xu Fang's invitation with a smile.
At the post-match press conference, Wenger also followed Xiao Hua's intention and did not save face for the Chinese team's head coach, Qi Wusheng. He said bluntly that the Chinese team had a big tactical problem. In the game, he could not see that the Chinese team was a team composed of professional players and had long-term training. It was obvious that this team had a big problem in daily training, and the players did not even master the most basic technical and tactical cooperation. Xiao Hua's previous hated coach Qi Wusheng blushed without answering a question.
After a simple rest that night, Inter Milan boarded a flight to Hong Kong and arrived at the second stop of the Asian trip, the Oriental Pearl Hong Kong.
I don’t think we need to introduce the relationship between Hong Kong and the UK. Everyone is very clear, so British clubs have attached great importance to the development in Hong Kong for a long time, and have also cultivated a large number of fans of their respective clubs in Hong Kong. However, Hong Kong people don’t know much about Italian teams. The fans of Italian clubs are completely marginal fans in Hong Kong, and the number is very rare. If you only count Inter Milan fans in narrowing the scope, there will be few.
Unlike the grand occasion when I came to Beijing, there were no more than 10 fans who came to the airport to welcome Inter Milan, and they could count them in just two hands. Moreover, all of them came to welcome Baggio without exception. Most of them were not interested in Inter Milan. On the contrary, there were more reporters coming today than fans, but most of these reporters interviewed entertainment news. The development of Hong Kong's entertainment industry can be ranked first in the world. They have long heard of the rumors that Xiao Hua and Li Jiaxin had previously rumored in Italy, so today all reporters from Hong Kong gossip newspapers were dispatched to hope to dig up some explosive gossip news on Xiao Hua.
As soon as he walked out of the aisle, Xiao Hua was surrounded by many reporters.
"Chairman Musco! It is said that you and Miss Li have been together for a day in Italy. Are you a lover?"
"Do you like each other? Because of nationality and status, it cannot be made public?" The questions raised by Hong Kong reporters were more direct, and Xiao Hua simply became silent. Anyway, he was an Italian, as long as he didn't let Yan Siyu translate, I couldn't understand the questions of these reporters.
After getting rid of the reporter's entanglement, Xiao Hua and others took the bus and headed straight to the hotel where they were staying.
Seeing that Xiao Hua had never spoken since he got in the car, Yan Siyu, the translator sitting next to Xiao Hua, asked softly: "Masco, why are you pulling me?"
"Nothing." Xiao Hua replied lazily at the crowds outside the window, the streets with tall buildings.
"Are you bothering about the problems of Hong Kong journalists? Are you afraid that those reporters' random writing will destroy your relationship with Miss Li?" Yan Siyu asked with a red face.
Xiao Hua turned his head and smiled at Yan Siyu and said, "Where do you want to go? Do you also think that Li Jiaxin and I really have any scandal?"
"Are everyone else saying this... And I haven't seen you say anything after getting in the car just now?" Yan Siyu lowered her head and said to herself.
Xiao Hua sighed and said, "I don't mean I'm thinking about these things. What I'm thinking about now is how to increase the popularity of Inter Milan in Hong Kong. Look at the fact that Hong Kong people are more concerned about my scandal than our team itself. This is not a good phenomenon!"
"Then do you have any solutions?"
"Not yet." Xiao Hua shook his head helplessly. The two of them were speechless all the way, and soon the bus took Inter Milan to the hotel where they were staying.
After nightfall, Hong Kong has added a bit of charm, and the rich nightlife has caused the red men and green women to hurry through the streets and rush to their respective destinations. In order to welcome the arrival of Inter Milan, the Hong Kong Football Club specially held a charity cocktail party tonight.
After an afternoon of rest, Inter Milan recovered their energy, changed into sportswear one by one, and put on suits designed by Armani with the Inter Milan team logo printed on his chest.
The reception was filled with Hong Kong celebrities, including rich people with a net worth of over 100 million and many film and television stars. In terms of the largest number, female stars dressed up in a gorgeous manner, they have always been such high-end party guests.
There were rich people, stars and football stars who were rarely seen in Hong Kong today. This big scene made everyone dress up to dress up as much as possible, hoping to attract more attention from the opposite sex.
"Look at that is Baggio!"
"Wow! There are so many handsome guys! Is that tall guy the boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars?"
"Yes! Yes! He just didn't expect that he was much more handsome than in the newspaper. I wonder if he really had something to do with Li Jiaxin?" The lethality caused by the 20-year-old Italian boys entering the venue neatly was terrifying. Many female celebrities were talking in a low voice. Today they reported two purposes to attend the party. One was to get close to many rich people, and the other was to see the legendary super popular handsome guy Baggio and the young billionaire Musco Moratti. If something happened, it would be hard for him to not become famous.
Inter Milan's young men are usually veterans of various parties in Italy. After spending a few minutes of restraint, they all let go of themselves and enjoyed the party happily.
The handsome Xiao Hua attracted countless beauties to glancing at him. Everyone may not know how much money the football player can have, but they are very clear about how much wealth this young man has. How can he not grasp such an opportunity? Soon, many beauties surrounded by Xiao Hua, and they talked to him in English, hoping to see something happening to him. Although the young Xiao Hua is usually very mature, he is still a young man in his 20s. When he encounters such a situation of leaning against red and green, he gradually feels a little confused.
Just as Xiao Hua was having a deep time in the flowers, the rumored heroine Li Jiaxin, who had not seen for a long time, appeared, walked to Xiao Hua and asked with a smile, "Masco, why don't you say hello to me when you come to Hong Kong? Are so many beauties around you asking you to forget my friend I know in Italy?"
Xiao Hua spread his hands helplessly and said, "I just arrived and didn't have time to find you." As he said that, he said sorry to the many beauties around him who were looking at Li Jiaxin's eyes that were about to spit out of fire and walked to the seat beside him and sat down.
After finally quieting, Li Jiaxin burst into laughter and joked: "I told you last time, there are many beautiful women in Hong Kong. You probably already felt that I didn't lie to you, right?"
Xiao Hua changed the topic awkwardly: "I only realized that you are so famous here when I came to Hong Kong. Did you really not expect it?"
"My reputation is nothing. In Hong Kong, actresses are updated and replaced at the fastest speed in the world. In order to continue to maintain their current position, I am under a lot of pressure every day!" Li Jiaxin said a little sadly.
"oh!"
Next, the two continued to chat for a while. Isn’t this Zhang Xueyou? While chatting with Li Jiaxin, Xiao Hua was chasing his eyes in the venue. He accidentally discovered that Zhang Xueyou, whom he liked, was also in the venue.
"Li, do you know that person over there?" Xiao Hua pointed to Zhang Xueyou's direction and asked.
Although Xiao Hua's question made Li Jiaxin feel very strange, Zhang Xueyou knew him and nodded immediately: "I know him. He is a very famous singer. I heard that he likes you very much. Today I guess he is here to see your team. Are you asking him for trouble?"
"Is there anything wrong! Can Li help me ask him to come here to sit? I want to talk to him about something." Xiao Hua suddenly had an inspiration in his heart. Since Hong Kong is so concerned about the entertainment industry, he might as well find a star to help him do promotion. Anyway, it won't cost much money, so Zhang Xueyou should be a good choice.
Zhang Xueyou was also confused about the sudden invitation from Inter Milan boss Musco Moratti. Does the Italians know me too? "What are you asking for me?" Zhang Xueyou asked in confusion after sitting down.
"Mr. Zhang, I learned from Miss Li that you are a very talented and talented singer, and your daily lifestyle is very healthy, so I want to invite you to be the image ambassador of our club in Asia. I wonder if you are willing?" Xiao Hua asked straight to the point.
"Image Ambassador? Mr. Musco, I don't quite understand what this means?" Jacky Cheung is usually a fan, so today he came to see Baggio. He didn't expect to meet the other party's chairman to invite him to serve as the image ambassador. However, after imagining for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what this image ambassador was going to do, so he should ask the other party directly.
"Actually, it's nothing. The main thing is that you need to promote our Inter Milan in China and Hong Kong. At present, your job is to sing a song in the stadium before the match with the Hong Kong team the day after tomorrow. As for the future, I will probably arrange a few jobs from time to time, but you don't worry, it's very easy to work and it won't take up too much time. For example, I'm considering finding someone to create a Chinese version of the team song. I will invite you to sing, and I will also ask you to participate in shooting some advertisements promoting Inter Milan, and maybe I can shoot with Baggio. Of course, I will give you a certain reward of 100,000 US dollars for 5 years, how do you think?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Xueyou nodded happily and said, "Okay, I promise you!" In fact, Zhang Xueyou is not interested in such a little money. He mainly likes football. This job should be quite suitable for his own preference.
In this way, Inter Milan held a press conference in Hong Kong the next day, announcing that he had successfully invited Zhang Xueyou to serve as Inter Milan's image ambassador in Asia. Zhang Xueyou was also very excited at the press conference and was wearing an Inter Milan jersey numbered No. 88 like a new player.
On August 10, after Jacky Cheung sang a song, the match between Inter Milan and Hong Kong United officially began. The game itself was nothing to say. Due to the huge gap in strength, Inter Milan achieved a 4-0 lead in the first half. It is worth mentioning that Baggio completed his first hat-trick at Inter Milan in the first half. Both sides were basically in a walk-through form. Inter Milan relied on the second half to replace Ronaldo, who played in the second half, to end the game with a goal of 5-0.
On August 11, Inter Milan flew to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, and started the third stop of this trip to Asia. Baggio's popularity in Japan is very terrifying. You can see Japanese female fans holding Baggio's portrait shouting his name everywhere. Every time Inter Milan's bus is away from a certain location, many female fans will still cry while chasing Inter Milan's bus and shouting something. Many Inter Milan players, especially Baggio, dare not show up alone during his time in Japan, otherwise they will definitely be given to the fanatical Japanese female FANS...
During his time in Japan, Inter Milan also participated in a series of commercial and charity activities like in China. Relying on Baggio's popularity, Inter Milan suddenly became one of the most familiar foreign clubs for Japanese fans. There were also many reports introducing Inter Milan that were introduced to the past and present in the newspaper.
On August 13, Inter Milan played a game with the local league champion Kawaki Green Team. Before the game, Xiao Hua set a goal for Wenger, at least 6:0. Japanese people are born to admire the strong. Today I will fight you to cry and cry, let you know that Inter Milan is a real strong man.
There is no suspense in the game. The Japanese team and the Chinese team in this era are only half a dozen. The 7:0 score also makes the Japanese team completely respect the team in front of them.
After the game, the Japanese media overwhelmed the performance of Inter Milan in the newspapers, and believed that Inter Milan is the most powerful team in the world. Today, the Japanese team finally saw what the concept of the world's highest peak is.
On August 14, Inter Milan arrived in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. After two days of rest and activities, Inter Milan defeated the South Korean Posai Iron Team 4:0 in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. On August 17, Inter Milan arrived at the last stop of the expedition in Thailand. There were no commercial activities arranged in Inter Milan, Thailand, and all the players were completely relaxed and cultivated. On August 20, Inter Milan defeated the Thai national team 8:0 and completed the last game of this trip to Asia.
In the report made by the Inter Milan Marketing Department, it was analyzed that Inter Milan's trip to Asia reached 5 countries and regions respectively, including China and Japan, which achieved great success. The visit to Inter Milan in the local area has attracted widespread attention from the media and the press, and the fans are also full of enthusiasm for Inter Milan! It can be seen that these two countries are very suitable for our continued development in the local area. The other three countries and regions are not particularly enthusiastic about our visits from the media to the fans. Through this visit, it can be determined that Inter Milan's Asian strategy will be centered on China and Japan in the future. In this visit, Baggio brought many benefits to the team. Many fans fell in love with our team because of Baggio. From this point, it can be seen that many Asian fans' love for stars is much greater than their love for the team, so our star strategy will need to be continued in the future. One to two idol-level stars are necessary.
Traditional European teams will not score too many goals when participating in these commercial matches, but Inter Milan did not give any face to the local team this time, but instead achieved unexpected gains. Local survey results show that many fans have become our fans because of the superb football skills shown by Inter Milan. The recognition of Inter Milan's strength has now caught up with AC Milan, which was far ahead in the past. From this point, it can be seen that Asian fans will also have a higher recognition of the strong, so we need to continue to achieve excellent results while having stars in the future.
