【Chapter 1075】 Fan Day (Happy Labor Day!)

As the first super team in world football to successfully defend the 'Treble', Newcastle United's popularity goes without saying, and the Magpie's strong Chinese elements make it very popular among Chinese fans.

Not to mention the owner of the team, Xiao Feng, as a super-rich and international superstar, he has the title of 'perfect idol' in China, and anything about him is the object of media and public pursuit. In addition, Li Yan in Newcastle United has also become an important factor for many Chinese fans to fall in love with this team, in a sense, Li Yan is the first real international superstar in the history of Chinese football.

Putting aside the ancient football king Li Huitang, Chinese football has been weak for a hundred years, and there has never been any international superstar who can be called famous in international football. Even if it is 10,000 steps back, there has never been a Chinese player who can play the main role in the strong teams of Europe's top leagues.

The Chinese Suns had a good time in Manchester City back then, but he was plagued by injuries and finally disappeared from everyone, which made people sigh.

Li Yan's birth satisfied the various expectations of Chinese fans for their own stars, he was tall, handsome, and had a very special background; of course, his outstanding performance on the field subverted the whole world's perception of Chinese football, and I have to admit that China still has football talents.

Li Yan was just an ordinary Huaxia high school student three years ago, and he entered the academy of Newcastle United because he was Xiao Feng's cousin, but he finally stood out in a short period of time.

In the season just ended, Li Yan became the absolute main force of the 'quadruple champion' Newcastle United, he became an iron waist, and together with Brooklyn, he formed the tightest defense in Europe.

In the just-released selection of the best team in the Premier League, Li Yan was successfully selected, if it weren't for Brooklyn's greater fame. The title of 'Best Rookie' is about to fall on Li Yan. Even so, Li Yan still relied on his 12 direct free kicks and countless tackles in the Premier League to overwhelm hundreds of foreign aids, and won the Premier League's 'Best Foreign Aid'.

Fans and media believe that although Li Yan will not surpass Cristiano Ronaldo in the selection of the best player in the Champions League, he is certainly also one of the best teams in the Champions League last season.

Although Li Yan has only debuted for one year. However, the individual and collective honors he has won have surpassed all Chinese players, and he deserves to be the first star in China.

Such a superstar is a Chinese, how can he not let Chinese fans love the Magpies and Wu, and there are crowds of people everywhere he goes?

…………

On 4 July, although it was not a weekend, the Bird's Nest Stadium was still packed with 80,000 enthusiastic fans who would be here to watch a commercial match between Newcastle United and the Chinese national team.

With the help of Li Yan, the Chinese national team stood out in the top 12 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup and qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. For this. The enthusiasm of Chinese fans for football has increased several notches, you must know that the last time the Chinese men's football team participated in the World Cup was 16 years ago, when Li Yan was less than three years old!

Over the years, with the continuous reform of the domestic football league and the increasingly strict supervision of the government on the competent authorities, the development of Chinese football has begun to enter a virtuous circle, which naturally attracts fans back to the stadium.

According to media statistics, the attendance of the 2017 Chinese Super League exceeded 36,000, and some key games even had 60,000 or more fans pouring into the stadium. The ball market in China is becoming more hot because the Chinese national team has entered the World Cup finals!

Today. You can enjoy the friendly match between the 'Quadruple Champions' team and the Chinese national team at the Bird's Nest, which also excites fans in Beiping and even the surrounding areas. The entire nest was almost completely enclosed.

The Newcastle United players who had just taken a vacation were not in the best condition, so after the game started, the Chinese national team took the initiative on the field and played well.

However, for Li Yan, who insisted on training to maintain his condition during the holidays, such an offensive could not penetrate the back line led by him, and he was like an iron gate. Firmly controlled the midfield.

For the fans in person and in front of the TV, it was the Newcastle United player who wore the number 23 shirt that attracted them the most, because everyone recognized it as Xiao Feng.

This time, Xiao Feng, who had itchy feet, became the starting striker of Newcastle United, and everyone originally thought that he was just going up to make a cameo. But the game lasted 10 minutes, and Xiao Feng was decent in terms of offensive organization and personal skills.

At this time, everyone found out that Xiao Feng can not only scold Fang Xuan on the basketball court, but also perform well on the football field, and it seems that excellent physical fitness does play a very important role in the mastery of sports skills.

With the end of the opening three boards of the Chinese national team, Newcastle United gradually took control of the situation on the field, after all, the superstars of the 'quadruple champions' team are not vegetarians.

Among them, the most eye-catching performance is Li Yan and Xiao Feng's uncle and nephew, Li Yan's steal, Xiao Feng's organization, and assists soon became the main theme on the field, and the penalty area of the Chinese national team was also popular.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Xiao Feng took a free kick in the front court, and Brooklyn jumped high in the scenic area to grab the goal, and a beautiful lion shook his head to take the next city!

After taking the lead, Newcastle United relaxed a little, after all, they can't suppress the home team without backhand in this kind of commercial game, so everyone will not look good.

In the 28th minute, the Chinese national team used a counterattack to equalize by striker Haolin, and the 80,000 spectators at the scene were naturally thunderous with joy, and the atmosphere was quite warm!

In the 24th minute, Xiao Feng scored a direct free kick to overtake the score again, and his textbook-like goal was repeatedly broadcast on the TV station, and everyone was amazed that Xiao Feng, an amateur player, could score such a free kick.

At this time, people remembered that Li Yan began to be an up-and-coming free-kick master in European football, and he scored a total of 20 direct free-kicks in all competitions last season, setting a new record in European football.

Nowadays, Xiao Feng's set-piece kung fu is also quite good, which has to make people sigh, how can the family's genes and talents be so desperate!

The score of 2:1 in the first half was quite satisfactory to the fans, organizers and even the players of both sides, after all, this is not a real official game. Wonderful scenes are the greatest pursuit.

In the second half, the two sides changed places and fought again, Li Yan replaced the No. 13 shirt of Newcastle United and put on the No. 13 shirt of the Chinese national team to represent the national team.

With Li Yan's active running and reliable defense, the Chinese national team instantly looked good on the field, and everyone knew the importance of Li Yan to the national team.

When the game goes 55 minutes. Li Yan even knocked on the door of Newcastle United with a direct free kick, which immediately made the scene boil.

In the World Cup qualifiers, Li Yan's free kicks saved the Chinese national team many times, and now people see him wearing the jersey of the Chinese national team and breaking the Magpie's goal with a free kick, which is somewhat joyful.

In the end, the two teams drew 4:4 at the Bird's Nest, and the whole game was full of firepower, which made all the spectators quite satisfied. For the fans, after all. Both are their favourite teams, and playing well and not deciding a winner is the best result.

After the game, in addition to the outstanding performance of the main stars of the two teams, Xiao Feng also became an eye-catching element of the game.

As a basketball superstar, Xiao Feng not only played 60 minutes on the court, but also performed quite well, instigating two goals and scoring a direct free kick himself.

In a sense, Xiao Feng's performance is fully qualified to start the championship team in Europe's top league. This also makes people sigh that people don't know how much magic Xiao Feng has.

If the media and fans know what Xiao Feng wants to do after retiring from the NBA in the future. Perhaps I can only admire the idea that geniuses are always different, talented, and capricious!

…………

The first game of Newcastle United's Asian tour attracted the collective attention of the Chinese, Asian and European media, after all, the 'quadruple winners' team's every move deserved the front page headlines of the sports media. And Xiao Feng's personal appearance in the game and his outstanding performance made the media collectively climax, they can no longer describe Xiao Feng in words, and some media are even speculating. Will Xiao Feng leave the NBA and join Newcastle United?

Thinking about this possibility, both the media and Xiao Feng's fans are quite looking forward to it!

For them, it doesn't matter which sport Xiao Feng plays. The key is that as long as Xiao Feng has a wonderful performance, this is enough!

After a three-day stay in Beiping, Newcastle United flew to Haizhou aboard the 'Meng Yao', where they will participate in numerous commercial and charity activities in addition to a commercial match at the Haizhou 80,000-man stadium and the port of Haizhou, a powerhouse of the Chinese Super League.

The Chinese part is the focus of the Magpie's trip to Asia, and Newcastle United will stay in the four cities in China for more than 3 days, and most of the time spent in China will be spent in China.

In the game of the 80,000-person stadium, Xiao Feng did not play, and he did not even appear in the stadium to watch the game, which made his fans a little regretful. However, Haizhou University of Technology and other Haizhou university students are getting better and better for Xiao Feng's senses.

This time, Xiao Feng waved his hand and distributed 5,000 tickets to the younger students of Haizhou University of Technology for free, so that many students in Haizhou University Town who did not go home during the summer vacation could come to watch the game in person.

For Xiao Feng, it's okay to show your face and have a good time, and you don't have to steal the limelight and attract the attention of fans and the media to you, which is not good.

In the end, Newcastle United defeated Haizhou Port 5-2 to achieve the first victory of this Asian trip, which also made all the players smile, after all, winning is a good thing.

In the following days, Xiao Feng devoted more time to the affairs of 'Jinghu Group' and 'Mengyao Coffee', after all, Haizhou and the Yangtze River Delta region are one of the most important markets for the group. Although Xiao Feng rarely interferes in the specific affairs of the group, since he has come to Haizhou, it is natural to know more about the situation.

In fact, under the group's strict management system, the operation of various industries has already been regulated, and Xiao Feng cannot make some unreliable decisions with his brain, he just has a more detailed understanding of the industries in Haizhou and the Yangtze River Delta region.

Nowadays, 'Mengyao Coffee' has become synonymous with high-end cafes in Haizhou, and many gold-collars, celebrities and wealthy people have become more accustomed to tasting the world's most delicious coffee and enjoying their lives in these elegant cafes with different styles.

For ordinary people, 88RMB for a cup of coffee is undoubtedly a sky-high price, but for those with amazing incomes, this expenditure is not a burden.

In the evaluation of Forbes magazine, 'Mengyao Coffee' may even become another important industry under the 'Jinghu Group', once its chain outlets form a scale, the market value will also increase exponentially!

After staying in Haizhou for 4 days, Xiao Feng flew to Yangcheng with the team, and Newcastle United will play a game with Yangcheng Hengyuan Taobei at the Yangcheng Sports Center.

Beiping, Haizhou and Yangcheng, which are perhaps the three cities with the most developed economy, the longest professional football and the best mass base in China, are undoubtedly the best choice for Newcastle United to choose to play three commercial matches here.

In the match between Newcastle United and Yangcheng Hengyuan Taobei, media reporters and fans did not watch Xiao Feng on the field, but saw Xiao Feng talking and laughing with Xiao Ma and Hengyuan boss Xu Jiayin in the stands, and the regret in their hearts was even worse. Everyone also knows that if you want to see Xiao Feng on the football field in the future, you may only be able to see it in some heavyweight charity games.

Yangcheng Hengyuan Taobei is the champion of last season's AFC Champions League, and it will represent Asia in the Club World Cup at the end of the year.

For this reason, both sides are quite serious and committed to the game, and the players of Newcastle United have also changed the relaxed and casual style of the first two games, and have fought with the opponent in real time.

In the end, the Magpies still had the upper hand and won the game with a score of 2:1, continuing to maintain the unbeaten record of the Asian tour.

After the game in Yangcheng, Xiao Feng did not follow the team to Xiangjiang and Tokyo, he went straight back to 'Ginkgo Village' to continue his interrupted vacation life.

For Xiao Feng, the owner of the club, there is no need to do everything himself, as long as he has a good grasp of the general direction of the team, otherwise so many managers under his hands are all decorations?

The fact that Xiao Feng continues to go on holiday does not mean that the fan festival is over, and with the help of unusually developed information, fans can easily understand the enthusiastic welcome that Newcastle United have received in various cities across Asia.

Newcastle United are the focus of Asia this summer! )

PS: PS: I wish the folks a happy May Day holiday!
