Chapter 494 Chinese Football Association, good guy!

Manchester United attaches great importance to the development of the Asian market, especially the development of the East Asian market.

However, in the past, Japan was ranked first in the list of Manchester United's market development, and now, because of the addition of Yang Fan, Manchester United has begun to pay more attention to the development of the Chinese market, so the first stop of this Asian trip is in Beijing, the capital of China.

In fact, Manchester United has always been committed to the development of the Chinese market, as early as 2004, Manchester United has opened a "Manchester United theme restaurant" in Chengdu, at the same time, Manchester United participated in the investment of football schools have also been established in mainland China, Hong Kong and other places.

In fact, restaurants, football schools, and souvenir shops are only the initial form of market development, and once the Manchester United business model marked by "business license + sponsor" enters China, it will bring more business opportunities to many Chinese enterprises. For example, Manchester United is currently working with some mobile phone service providers, allowing them to send pictures and images of Manchester United games to mobile phone users in the form of MMS messages as soon as possible. Although the messaging service providers have to pay Manchester United a large sum of money for this, they are still willing to do so, because the right to send Manchester United's game images will undoubtedly give these mobile phone service providers an advantage over their rivals in the industry. If Manchester United is determined to open a similar business in China, it will also bring new opportunities to the Chinese telecommunications industry. For example, if Manchester United establishes its "franchise production and distribution" licensing system in China, it will be able to reap a huge reward from the winning bidder, and at the same time, it will also bring opportunities to many Chinese sporting goods manufacturers and distributors.

In addition, if any Chinese company is lucky enough to become a sponsor of Manchester United, it will have a positive impact on the company's global brand establishment, of course, the price is also high - Nike in order to become a sponsor of Manchester United in the next 13 years, the price paid is 300 million pounds, Manchester United's old relative, the British Vodafone Group, in order to renew the contract with Manchester United for four years, also respectfully presented a cheque of 10 million pounds. Clearly, United are hoping for a similar return in China and in Asia.

In addition, in 2003, Manchester United signed Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo, which should also be seen as a signal that Manchester United started the Chinese market strategy.

However, Dong Fangzhuo has never really made a name for himself at Manchester United, and he has only made an appearance in the Premier League once, or in the garbage time of the game. Therefore, Manchester United's move to expand its influence in the Chinese market has not had much effect, however, Yang Fan is different, according to the research of Manchester United's market development department, this Chinese player has hundreds of millions of fans in China, he is regarded as a national hero, and in the eyes of Chinese, Yang Fan is a well-deserved first person in Chinese sports.

It is precisely because of Yang Fan that Manchester United is more confident in expanding its influence in Asia, especially in China, and further developing the commercial market.

"What did you do? Who arranged this game? Don't you know that there is still a week to go before the national Olympic team and New Zealand play?

Hearing Nan Yong's roar, the person who was questioned was sweating on his forehead, but his heart was full of slander, now what do you say that playing with a giant like Manchester United will affect the Olympic team's preparations for the Olympic Games, why didn't you say that when you decided on this game half a year ago? At that time, Chairman Nan Yongda was very happy, saying that the match with Manchester United would enhance the players' knowledge and be conducive to achieving good results in the Olympic Games.

There is only one fundamental reason for the current situation: Manchester United now has Yang Fan in the team! There is this person who broke with the Chinese Football Association here!

At that time, when the warm-up match was confirmed with Manchester United, Yang Fan was not at Manchester United, who would have thought that half a year later, Yang Fan would transfer to Manchester United, and it was at a sky-high price of 35 million pounds!

Well, this match with Manchester United has made it very difficult for the senior management of the Chinese Football Association, very simply, they don't have to guess to imagine the waves that this game may cause!

A player who broke with the Chinese Football Association and was expelled from the national team by the Chinese Football Association is now wearing a Manchester United jersey and playing against the Chinese Olympic team, which Chinese football regards as a "baby"!

This makes the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Olympic team embarrassed, and, you know, Yang Fan is only 20 years old this year, but he is a school-age player who is eligible to be selected for the National Olympic team. That's a counterintuitive thing in itself!

Although the Chinese Football Association is not doing two fucking things, this matter is still unacceptable to countless Chinese fans, and their dissatisfaction and resentment towards the Football Association continue to accumulate. Read the latest chapter of the book, please () It is likely to explode with the arrival of this warm-up match between Manchester United and the Chinese Olympic team.

In fact, as expected, Yang Fan and Manchester United have not yet arrived in Beijing, and the overwhelming criticism of the Chinese Football Association has already resounded.

"It's really strange, Manchester United's most expensive signing in history, Mr. 35 million pounds! Such a star that is enough to make all Chinese proud, but it is difficult to have a foothold in China's national teams at all levels! He has been permanently expelled from the national team! Although the Chinese Football Association has made many incomprehensible decisions, it is definitely the stupidest decision ever to exclude a player like Yang Fan from the national team, do these people know what they have done?"

"Yang Fan is back! He will play in the Gongti, he is wearing a red jersey, but unfortunately, this is not the jersey of the Chinese national team! He represents Manchester United, and his opponent is the Chinese Olympic team. I wonder what Yang Fan will think at that time? I wonder what the players of the Chinese Olympic team will think? Will they be afraid of this compatriot star?"

"Calling Yang Fan into the national team may not allow the national team to enter the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, but at least we can reach the quarterfinals, right?! It is really an unprecedented shame to be blocked from the top 10 and quarterfinals in Asia twice in a row. Yang Fan was supposed to be the savior of Chinese football and the Chinese Football Association, but they were very generous and threw away this last straw......"

The Chinese Football Association has remained silent about the ridicule and abuse from the media and fans, as they often do.

Tickets for the warm-up match between Manchester United and the Chinese Olympic team are hard to find for a while.

came to see Yang Fan play football and watch the jokes of the Chinese Football Association, and the fans flocked to him.

※※※※※※※

When the Manchester United team arrived in Beijing, they were greeted by Chinese fans at the airport.

More than 500 Manchester United fans waited in the reception hall, holding banners and holding flowers to welcome the team. Welcome Yang Fan.

The fans were thrilled to see the whole Manchester United team walk out of the VIP tunnel, and they let out screams of excitement.

As soon as Yang Fan looked up, he saw the banner, which read: Warm welcome to Manchester United star Yang Fan with honors. When he saw the words written on it, he smiled.

To be honest, this banner is a bit nondescript, but it expresses the hearts of these Chinese fans very well.

Yang Fan waved his hand to greet the fans, and his action immediately detonated the pick-up hall, and the excited Chinese fans shouted, they were indeed too excited.

"Yang Fan!"

"Come on, Yang Fan!"

"Good job, Yang Fan!"

"Yang Fan, we love you!"

"We will always support you, Yang Fan. ”

"Yang Fan, xx fans say hello to you. ”

The enthusiasm and madness of the fans made the airport reception hall a little chaotic, and some onlookers who didn't know the truth were discussing, 'Which star is coming to Beijing again?' 'Is Andy Lau coming?' or is Jay Chou coming to Beijing?' 'It won't be a foreign star, there are a lot of foreigners over there'.

Some people who know something about football, or are fans themselves, suddenly realized that it was Yang Fan who arrived with the Manchester United team, no wonder, there will be such a big movement, while some people who are not fans feel strange.

If you are not a fan, it is difficult to understand their mood at the moment, China has produced such a star as Yang Fan, a super genius, a superstar, which makes these people who can be said to be desperate for Chinese football see hope, they have become Yang Fan's die-hard fans! Cheer for him, applaud him, cheer for him!

Some lucky fans got Yang Fan's autograph, which immediately made them the focus of everyone's envy, and one fan even got the opportunity to take a photo with Yang Fan, although he was quickly pulled away by the security guards, but, there is no doubt that the kid in everyone's hearts earned it, this is a photo with Yang Fan.

Manchester United CEO Gill sees the enthusiasm of the fans, especially the Chinese fans' love for Yang Fan, and he is also very happy, the more popular Yang Fan is in China, the more useful it will be for Manchester United to expand its influence in China.

Of course, a top giant like Manchester United has a lot of fans in China, so the fans who came to the scene today, in addition to welcoming Yang Fan, they also cheered for some other Manchester United fans.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, I love you!"

"Rooney, Rooney, this way, we're your fans!"

"Come on, Cristiano Ronaldo, don't go to Real Madrid, Manchester United is your home. ”

Obviously, in the Manchester United team, in addition to Yang Fan, the most popular among fans are Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney. Although Cristiano Ronaldo's injury has not yet healed, he still came with the whole team, which is also the requirement of Manchester United Club, Cristiano Ronaldo has a high status among fans as the number one star of Manchester United. He came with the team, which in itself was a sign that attracted the fans.

And Rooney, as a talented shooter who has become famous at a young age, naturally has a lot of fans.

"Yang Fan!"

"Rooney!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Tevez!"

"Vidic!"

The shouts of the fans came and went, but it was clear that Yang Fan was the most popular here, so to speak, his popularity alone was worthy of the attention of the whole Manchester United team.

※※※※※※※

The enthusiasm and madness of the fans impressed Manchester United's stars, especially Yang Fan's popularity here, and his teammates were once again impressed with him. However, they are not too strange, after all, Yang Fan is Chinese, this is the capital of China, and Chinese like Yang Fan, which is a reasonable thing.

Tevez gave Yang Fan a thumbs up, "Yang, your influence in China is really amazing!!"

Yang Fan laughed, he didn't need to explain anything, he was just very proud and happy. The fans came to welcome him, and it was very loud, which made him feel like he had a lot of face in front of many of his Manchester United team-mates.

Yang Fan and Tevez became good friends, and the two of them also sat next to each other on the bus, mainly because of Tevez's request, Yang Fan had every reason to suspect that Tevez was extremely homesick, because, this person did not stop talking about his mouth all the way, and kept chatting with Yang Fan, although Yang Fan's Spanish was not very proficient, but Tevez really didn't mind at all.

Yang Fan also heard from his teammates at the club that Tevez is usually a more introverted person. He was skeptical, Tevez was very cheerful, talking non-stop along the way, and he was simply full of energy.

News of Manchester United's arrival in Beijing was not long in television.

The players of the Chinese Olympic team also saw the news and saw the warm welcome received by Yang Fan, and the gang also talked about it. It can be said that there are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"That's a big star. “

"Hey, see, Manchester United let Yang Fan go ahead, even Cristiano Ronaldo is behind. “

"What's this, this is to take care of his face, because he is Chinese, do you really think that his status in the team is higher than the Portuguese?"

"That's not what I said, no matter what, Yang Fan's value is there, and his status at Manchester United will definitely not be low. “

Hearing someone talk about Yang Fan's worth of 35 million pounds, this immediately caused a discussion among these Chinese Olympic players.

"Thirty-five million pounds! What a concept!"

"It's unimaginable. “

"If you convert it into euros, it must be more than 40 million. “

"Forty-four million!"

"It's unimaginable. “

"You say, if Yang Fan can enter the National Olympics......"

"It's impossible. “

"This guy is so tsundere! I don't like it! Better not come. “

"If you have that kind of strength, you can be tsundere. “

"Don't forget, Yang Fan and Zhen Zheng's holiday ......"

"Shhhh Someone said immediately. Because Zhen Zheng is also in the National Olympic team, he is one of the three overage players of the Chinese Olympic team, and he is also the captain of the team, and he is the well-deserved boss of this team, so the grievances between Yang Fan and Zhen Zheng are also a taboo topic in the team.

"Don't talk about that, this kid is so crazy that even the leaders of the Football Association dare to offend, and he is not a worry-free product at first glance. “

"Yes, he also plays at Manchester United, and Brother Dong is very low-key. “

"That's right, seeing this kid so good, I panicked. “

Dong Fangzhuo remained silent, and even ignored the overtures of these two people. He knows that he and Yang Fan can't be compared at all, he is a complete substitute in Manchester United, and Yang Fan, Mr. 35 million pounds! European Golden Boot! Bundesliga Golden Boot for two consecutive years!

Looking at Yang Fan's scenery, Dong Fangzhuo's heart was very uncomfortable. Manchester United's new season training camp has begun, but he has not been informed that although this is related to his need to participate in the training camp of the national Olympic team and represent the Chinese Olympic team in the Olympic Games, Dong Fangzhuo has learned from his agent that he is still not in Ferguson's plan, and the club is now considering lending himself out, and may even terminate his contract......

In fact, Dong Fangzhuo has never really won the favor of Ferguson, and when he first arrived in England, Dong Fangzhuo's biggest obstacle to playing for Manchester United was the labor certification. As a result, he had to be sent to the Belgian club Antwerp for training. The success of the second league has led to hopes that Manchester United will turn the Chinese prodigy into a world-class superstar. The exotic football culture and style are certainly fresh, but they don't have many advantages compared to the Chinese Super League. After returning to Old Trafford, Dong Fangzhuo still did not have the trust of Lord Fruel. Only when the Red Devils go to China to play a friendly match, Dong Fangzhuo can get the main position. The purpose of this practice can be imagined, and the Premier League champions just used him as a cover to make money. Perhaps the pursuit of profit is the only reason why Manchester United are courting Dong Fangzhuo. In fact, Dong Fangzhuo made only one official appearance in the Premier League, when he faced Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It's an enviable resume, but when he decided to send him on, he already had the Premier League title in his hands. It's just garbage time, encouragement for players who rarely get a chance to play.

Of course, despite this, not everyone has the opportunity to wear the Manchester United jersey, so within the Chinese Olympic team, Dong Fangzhuo is still an absolute big name, and it can even be said that he has certain privileges.

Once, this title made Dong Fangzhuo very proud in his heart, but now, he didn't have this feeling of pride at all, because, compared to Yang Fan, he was really nothing. This huge gap made him feel very uncomfortable.

※※※※※※※

The entire Manchester United squad arrived at the hotel, where a banner had been hung to welcome the new European champions.

There are also a lot of fans waiting here to welcome Manchester United.

When Yang Fan appeared, the atmosphere of the scene was detonated again.

Yang Fan also signed autographs for several fans at first, but then there were more and more fans, and he had to shout to the fans, saying sorry, and then with the help of the hotel's security guards, he was able to enter the hotel.

Manchester United are on seven floors.

In the elevator, Ferguson suddenly asked Yang Fan, "Yang, do you know Dong Fangzhuo?"

"Yes. I know he's at Manchester United as well. Yang Fan said.

"Well, he's in the Chinese Olympic team. Ferguson said, asking, "You're not going to be a sign this time, are you?"

"I? can't be. Yang Fan replied, "I have a conflict with the Chinese Football Association, and they have already announced that they will permanently expel me from the national team at all levels." ”

Hearing Yang Fan say this, the old Scottish man smiled unabashedly, and now he was relieved, which means that Yang Fan will not only not participate in the national Olympic team this time, but also will hardly be tired of the national team's events in the future. In this way, Yang Fan will be able to devote all his energy to the club's events.

The Chinese Football Association has really done a great thing, good people, Ferguson has never had such a good impression of a country's football association as he does now. You must know that he has had quarrels and quarrels with the football associations of many countries because of the fact that the Manchester United star was selected by the national teams of various countries.

The Chinese Football Association is really a good person.
