Chapter 614: Sitting on the home field

The biggest advantage of playing at home is to wait for work.

Today is Saturday, the game is scheduled for 5 p.m., and before the Kyoto University team enters the court, the happiness team can enter the field more than two hours early to warm up.

Unlike the last friendly match, after all, it was an official league, and the turf of the Kitahara Stadium has been refurbished, and although it still looks mottled to the mountains, it is undoubtedly much better than last week, at least not the potholed rotten vegetable field.

And Ling Duan Yun was even more surprised that there were many more fans who came to watch the game today than in the last warm-up game, and when there was less than an hour before the game, there were at least four or five thousand spectators on both sides of the stadium, which was more than ten times more than the last warm-up game!

In fact, according to Duan Yun's understanding, the main income of the Chinese Professional Football League is still broadcast rights and advertising sponsorship, and in terms of ticket sales, even if it is the top Chinese Super League, the average attendance rate is less than 30%, except for the top teams in several first-tier cities, there are not many home audiences of other teams, and ticket sales can even be described as miserable!

The main reason for this is that in the past two years, there have been frequent outbreaks of various match-fixing shady scenes in professional football, coupled with the poor record of the national football team and the low level of the league, so that the ball market has been very cold over the years, and even the home games of some teams have almost reached the point of no one cares.

However, from this point of view, the fans of the Beiyuan team are not bad in the entire Central B, Duan Yun learned from Gao Bo before that more than 1,200 annual packages for the team's home stadium have been sold this year, and this sales volume can already rank in the top five in the entire Central B League, which shows that the Beiyuan Happiness Team still has the support of many hardcore fans.

It's just that the whole team also understands that if the team's record is consistently poor, there will definitely be a continuous loss of fans, after all, football is a kind of entertainment, and no one will support a hopeless team for a long time.

"Duan Yun!

Although Duan Yun only entered this venue for the second time, some of the fans of the Beiyuan team on the sidelines still shouted his name on the sidelines, and it was obvious that in the warm-up game last week, Duan Yun's amazing performance really left a deep impression on these die-hard fans who were present at the time!

In the last half hour before the game, a large number of spectators suddenly poured into the stadium, and in the VIP seats, several middle-aged people in suits and leather shoes also sat down with a smile and a smile surrounded by seven or eight security personnel.

In addition to being the owner of the team, Gao Bo is also an official in the system.

Maybe the owner of an ordinary team doesn't have the face to invite local government officials to watch the game, but Gao Bo, who has the title of director of the Foot Management Center of the Provincial General Administration of Sports, can do this.

In addition to Gao Bo's boss, the director of the Provincial General Administration and some other leaders, Geng Dachang, deputy mayor of Beiyuan, also ranked among the leaders who came to watch the ball game at the Beiyuan Gymnasium, which is the highest official leader.

In fact, with Gao Bo's 'rank', he basically has nothing to say to these big leaders, but after all, he is the boss of the Beiyuan team, so don't arrange to sit with the director of the Provincial Sports General Administration and Deputy Mayor Geng Dachang.

In fact, in the past, the Bukwon municipal government did not attach importance to professional football in the province, but with the change of national leadership this year, the football development has become a kind of 'political achievement', so the Bukwon provincial government has also begun to re-examine the development of football in the province, and at the same time In accordance with the instructions of the superiors, sports, especially football, have been included in several priority development projects of the government, and this time Geng Dachang came to the stadium to watch the game, in fact, he wanted to find out the strength of the only team in the province and pave the way for the next step of support work.

Gao Bo naturally knew this, and after sitting next to Geng Dachang, he took the initiative to act as a commentator with a courteous face, and did his best to promote his team.

Gao Bo was busy dealing with the leader, while the fans on the scene attracted Duan Yun's attention.

With the leaders of the VIP seat in place, a large number of spectators poured into the scene, many of which were representatives of local factories, schools and government agencies in Beiyuan to watch the game.

In addition to these 'temporary fans' who mobilized to support the local team, on the other side of the audience sat three to four hundred fans wearing the uniforms of the Kyoto University team, almost all of whom were young faces, holding various signs with the players' heads and names in their hands, of which female fans accounted for the majority, all of them were young and beautiful, and they were obviously all joint campus cheerleaders of Kyoto's major universities.

This suddenly reminded Duan Yun of when he played the varsity team in Locomotive Factory Middle School, and there was always the school's cheerleading team to follow him when he went out to compete, and the original cheerleader was Yang Ying.

Although Yang Ying has now gone to Huaqing to report, it is estimated that she has just entered school and is unlikely to participate in this kind of cheerleading team, otherwise, the two will have a chance to meet again.

All the players were in the dressing room to change their clothes and the game was about to start. At this moment, the coach on the sidelines, Zhou Hailong, shouted at his players.

Subsequently, Duan Yun and the other players stopped warming up and left the court temporarily.

When Duan Yun and his teammates walked to the exit again, Duan Yun finally saw the first opponent of his professional career, the players of the Kyoto University team!

To Duan Yun's surprise, Duan Yun saw that among the players who started at Kyoto University, there were actually two whites and one black.

The teams in the second league are generally not well funded, and they can't invite any foreign aid at all, but the Kyoto youth team has some small advantages in this regard, that is, some high-level foreign players can be selected from several famous schools in Kyoto to participate, and it doesn't cost a lot of money!

Foreign monks would chant sutras.

Although this sentence is a bit absolute, it is indeed an indisputable fact that in football, the level of foreign players is generally higher than that of domestic players.

This has nothing to do with race, mainly because football is not the most popular sport in China, table tennis is, and in other big cities with better conditions, there are not many professional stadiums, so the football participation base is far smaller than that of other countries.

"Hello!" Duan Yun turned his head to look at a black player standing next to him, who was 1.9 meters tall, and greeted him with a smile.

The black player grinned at Duan Yun when he heard this, showing his neat white teeth, and replied in almost standard Kyoto dialect: "Hello buddy!"
