Chapter 449: Popularity

Inter Milan's Super Cup opponent Lazio came to Yanjing a day earlier than Inter Milan, but Lazio, who has almost no stars, had a little presence on the day of resisting Yanjing, and the rest of the time was in obscurity in the shadow of Inter Milan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Almost five days later, the night before the match, Lazio president Lotito and manager Emir Valardini spoke out again and challenged Inter Milan and Jose Mourinho.

Lazio president Lotito said: "Inter Milan have many stars and are the favourites to win the Super Cup, but I would like to tell the Lazio fans in China that Lazio is not a lamb to be slaughtered in the Super Cup, but will appear in Beijing as a Lazio team determined to defend their honour. Nine years ago, we won the Super Cup by beating Inter Milan 4-3, and eight years ago, we shattered Inter's dream of winning the league. Against Inter, we were unafraid. ”

"I know very well how strong Inter Milan is, and I know how great Jose Mourinho is, but there will be nothing special about playing against them, if there is excitement, it is because of the complete facilities of the Bird's Nest, the many monuments of Yanjing and the magnificent Forbidden City, as for the football game, there is nothing exciting, and it is not an ignorant child." ”

The Italian Super Cup is the first time that China has held a high-level official football match, which is very hot, as of the day before the game, 76,000 tickets have been sold, and more than 100 million fans are expected to watch, and now Lazio President Lotito and head coach Bardini have spoken out again, and the atmosphere before the game has become more hot, Lazio fans on the Internet and neutral fans who are not used to seeing Mourinho are cheering for Lazio loudly, hoping that they will beat Inter Milan and slap Mourinho in the face.

When Lazio held a press conference, Gao Xiaodong also received a call from Gao's father, who told Gao Xiaodong that the couple had come to the imperial capital, and Xiaodong's friend had arranged accommodation and tickets to watch the game tomorrow, so that he should not worry and concentrate on the game.

Gao Xiaodong thought that his agent Chen Qiang picked it up, so he didn't think much about it and hung up the phone.

Unexpectedly, ten minutes later, Chen Qiang called and said that he had arrived in Lucheng, but Gao's father and mother were not at home. I can't get through on the phone.

Fuck, Gao Xiaodong was startled, did you encounter a kidnapper? Gao Xiaodong hurriedly called his father, and the phone couldn't get through at first, Gao Xiaodong dialed a few more times in a hurry, and the phone finally got through, Gao Xiaodong immediately asked: "Dad, who picked you up, and where do you live now?"

Father Gao said in surprise: "It's Vice President Zhang of Hesheng Company, we are now living in the Hilton Hotel, and many Olympic champions live here." ”

In this era, there are so many liars, Gao Xiaodong doesn't know if it's true or not, so he can rest assured, hang up the phone and go to the Hilton Hotel to find his parents.

Finding his parents in the room, Gao Xiaodong was relieved, and he said a little angrily: "Why didn't you come here without informing me?"

Father Gao said unhappily: "Am I calling late now?" I'm worried that it will affect your training, but if you can, you won't call if you can." ”

Gao Xiaodong was speechless, sighed, and said, "You give me the phone number of Mr. Zhang of Hesheng Company." ”

Gao's father gave Zhang Qi's mobile phone number to Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong immediately called Zhang Qi, the phone was connected, and Gao Xiaodong asked straight to the point: "Are you the president of Hesheng Company?" I am Gao Xiaodong, thank you for taking my father to watch the game. ”

Zhang Qi heard that it was Gao Xiaodong, surprised and delighted, and said: "Hello Xiaodong, I'm sorry for not notifying you in advance, it's like this, in order to commemorate the first anniversary of the Olympic Games, we invited the Olympic champion to watch the game for free, and then I thought that after you joined Inter Milan, the Italian Super Cup organized by us brought great popularity, we benefited, but we couldn't reciprocate, so we took your parents to watch the game for free with the Olympic champion." Because I was afraid of affecting your preparations, I didn't greet you in advance. ”

Gao Xiaodong was so clever that he groaned slightly, and immediately understood the reason, and said in his heart, the vice president of Hesheng Company is very good at franchising, and if he notifies himself in advance, he will definitely not accept his favor, and now this favor is unbearable, so he can only find an opportunity to repay it later.

After figuring out these links, Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "So I'm relieved, thank you, Mr. Zhang, for having the opportunity to have a light meal together." ”

Zhang Qi was waiting for this moment, and he said happily: "You're welcome, you have made us earn at least tens of millions more, this matter is insignificant, I will ask you to go back." ”

"You're welcome, it's the same for anyone. ”

Gao Xiaodong exchanged a few words with Zhang Qi, hung up the phone, and groaned for a while, Gao Xiaodong dialed Chen Qiang's phone again, told Chen Qiang about it, and asked Chen Qiang if he knew if Zhang Qi, the vice president of Hesheng Sports Culture Company, was sacred.

Chen Qiang is very familiar with this company, and said: "The general manager of Hesheng Company is Yang Feng of the original Yanjing team, but he just invested some money to hang up his name, mainly the deputy general manager Zhang Qi management and operation, this Zhang Qi is also a capable person, he was originally a lawyer, he opened a law firm, and later cooperated with Yang Feng to open Hesheng Sports Culture Company, the registered capital of this company is only one million yuan, but he dared to contract such an event that costs tens of millions, which is simply impressed." As if he was afraid that Gao Xiaodong would feel incompetent, Chen Qiang said again: "If it weren't for the Hope Star that involved all my energy, in fact, I would have wanted to do such an event." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "The Star of Hope will not necessarily be unprofitable in the future, nor will it be a small business, since you have invested so much, let's do it well." ”

Chen Qiang said: "There is no turning back from the bow, no matter what happens now, it must be carried on." ”

"Well, I support you, both spiritually and materially. ”

"Now you have a lot of support, without you, this hope league would definitely not be able to apply. ”

"You're welcome, what's our relationship?"

After chatting with Chen Qiang for a while, Gao Xiaodong hung up the phone, told his parents some questions to pay attention to when watching the game, and went back to the Intercontinental Hotel.

……

On August 8, the Italian Super Cup final attracted the attention of the whole world to Yanjing, China.

On this day, Yanjing turned into a football city, in order to see the demeanor of his idol on the field. Nearly 100,000 fans from all over China and even the world gathered here, and more than 400 reporters from more than 40 countries and regions came to the scene to cover the scene.

This is a real Italian top ball game held in Yanjing, with the super popular coach Mourinho and the Chinese super star Gao Xiaodong, it can be said that it is a once-in-a-decade encounter, even if you are not a fan, you want to come to the scene to see, not to mention the fans of these two teams and the stars of the two teams.

Vice Chairman Yang of the Huaguo Football Association pinched his nose and came, of course he didn't want to come, but this was a high-level competition held at the headquarters of the Football Association, and it was organized by the Yanjing Football Association.

Of course, Vice Chairman Yang will not support Gao Xiaodong, he began to draw circles from the moment he stepped into the box and cursed Gao Xiaodong for not being in good shape today, playing abnormally, and it is best to score another own goal, so that the pressure of the Chinese Football Association will be less.

Li Hang came, he, a Real Madrid fan, came wearing a Lazio jersey, the purpose was for the convenience of Hei Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong's parents came, and they were personally sent to the championship stand by Zhang Qi, the vice president of Hesheng Company.

This is the first time that Gao Xiaodong's parents watched Gao Xiaodong's game on the spot, and saw that more than half of the fans in the magnificent Bird's Nest Stadium were wearing Gao Xiaodong's No. 10 jersey, holding banners and portraits of Gao Xiaodong's name.

Director Chu and Wang Dong of the Lucheng Sports Bureau also came, Chen Qiang didn't need the two tickets he bought for Gao's father and mother, Gao Xiaodong gave them them, this is a box ticket of 3,000 yuan, and it is difficult to buy it with money, of course Director Chu and Wang Dong will not miss such an opportunity.

Gao Xiaodong's classmates came, and they organized them together, and they also pulled up a banner like other fan groups, which read: "Fat Man Support Group".

Zhao Xiyuan was not with her classmates, but she came to the Bird's Nest alone, as a ball blind who watched the ball for the first time, she did not buy a ticket, and was slaughtered by a scalper, and the original 380 yuan a ticket asked her for 1,000 yuan.

Of course, Zhao Xiyuan didn't wear a jersey, she thought that there were many fans in the stadium who didn't wear jerseys, but after entering, she found that she was so different, the whole stadium was three colors, Inter Milan's blue and black, Lazio's blue, and the red of the Chinese team, and the pale yellow shirt she wore was as conspicuous as a star in the night sky.

With more than 80,000 fans, the stadium began at half past five o'clock, and before seven o'clock, the stadium was full.

Before the players came out to train, a small concert was held in the stadium, where seven stars including Tan Jing, Mao Ning, Dai Yuqiang, and Wang Xia sang songs.

Although there are not many A-list stars, tonight's theme is football, and the fans are not picky, so it should be a dessert before the dinner.

When they began to sing songs such as "Love in Yanjing" and "Gathering in Yanjing", the fans at the scene were still doing their own things, and when they sang the theme songs of the two clubs of Inter Milan and Lazio, especially the theme song of Inter Milan, the fans at the scene began to sing in a low voice, and the sound became louder, and the singer's voice was completely covered, and the sound was deafening, and the fans who didn't know thought that the game had started.

After a series of warm-up activities, the Inter Milan stars finally came out of the dressing room to warm up.

"Balotelli!"

"Lucio!"

"McConn!"

……

"Cesar!"

"Gao Xiaodong......

When a player comes out and the fans shout the name of a player, the more famous the star, the more fans there are, the loudest shouting, it is a small climax when Zanetti comes out, and at Inter Milan, Zanetti's popularity is the strongest.

But when Gao Xiaodong came out, everyone knew what popularity was.

At least 40,000 or 50,000 people stood up at the same time, 60,000 or 70,000 people shouted Gao Xiaodong's name at the stadium at the same time, and then the fans cheered together.

Gao Xiaodong, who has experienced the big scene of Old Trafford, was also taken aback, this is just a warm-up, just so enthusiastic, if you want to score, it's not crazy.

The first time he appeared in front of his parents and fellow villagers, his parents were also there, we can't embarrass them, Gao Xiaodong took a deep breath, slowed down his steps, puffed up his chest, raised his hands and applauded and walked to the court, came to the field, saw the applause endlessly, and made a circle of fists to the fans with both hands.

"This aura, star fan...... I rub ...... Changed into a ......"

"International etiquette has become national!"

"Dizzy, is this a trick?"

"The fat man took the bird's nest to the bridge, right?"

"Nima, I just felt like a superstar, but now I'm almost a monkey. ”

"This guy, the monkey invited you to tease. ”

"! This is down-to-earth, the people's little winter. ”

"I just love fat people like this. ”

"That is, the star who doesn't like to pretend to be forced the most is still a fat man, who is really down-to-earth. ”

"That's right, that's our Maradona. ”

……

Originally, when Gao Xiaodong walked into the court with applause, Gao's father and mother and classmates who were familiar with Gao Xiaodong were all dazzled, and they felt that this kid was really different, this is an absolute star fan, but Gao Xiaodong hugged his fists in this circle, and the style of painting changed instantly, and the applause on the field was replaced by laughter.

Zhao Xiyuan was a little gloomy when she saw Gao Xiaodong accepting tens of thousands of people to worship when he came out, and then saw Gao Xiaodong making a funny circle, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, this dead fat man is too funny.

Director Chu sighed and said to Wang Dong: "This kid, no wonder he can make such a big name, more than 80,000 people cheered at the scene, ordinary people have long been paralyzed, he swayed freely, and he made the fans funny, at that time I felt that this kid was not ordinary, give him a chance I'm afraid he will take off, but I didn't expect to fly so high." ”

Wang Dong also sighed: "This is not yet 20 years old, with such popularity, does Huaguo really want to produce a ball king?"

Director Chu said: "There are still two months to be 20 years old, if you continue to develop like this, you will not be injured and will not slack off, the king of Huaguo is sure, as for the world, I think there is still hope for the Golden Ball." ”

……

On the field, Huaguo Maradona began to heat up (pretend) his body (force).

Gao Xiaodong has become a professional A-level player, although he is still one level away from the star, but when he plays the ball, in the eyes of ordinary fans, it is god-level. Coupled with Gao Xiaodong's deliberate playfulness, every fancy stop and volley he can make the fans cheer constantly.

The 20-minute warm-up ended quickly, Gao Xiaodong and his teammates walked back to the locker room in warm applause, and it was only ten minutes before the official start of the game.
