The ball hangs in the top right corner of the goal and then goes into the net. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info2:1, the audience suddenly boiled, and no one could sit in their seats, and they all stood up and shouted loudly. All the gongs and drums made the loudest sound, and the stadium seemed to tremble.

"It felt like my heart was going to jump out and my blood was running all over my body. I wasn't a big fan of football and was just pumped in by my countrymen, but after that game, I became a big fan of the Prato team, and that didn't change even when I returned home. A Chinese fan in Prato recalled many years later.

Coming from 2-1 down woke up Bagnoli from a dream, and he hurriedly replaced Berti and Bianchi, two main wingers, to strengthen the attacking organization of the midfield. But there is not much time left in the game, and the two who rushed on the court had no mental preparation at all, and they didn't do all the warm-ups, how could they play their form all of a sudden? Prato, on the other hand, had just reversed the scoreline, and it was a time when the momentum was high, and the young people could struggle to withstand the pressure, but if they played with passion, they would become fearless and unstoppable.

So not to mention the counter-attack, Inter Milan's last few minutes were spent in a panic. When the final whistle blew, the Inter Milan stars left the Stadio Visenzio in such a hurry that they didn't even bother with the etiquette of exchanging shirts, while manager Bagnoli was absent from the post-match press conference.

However, all this did not prevent Prato from becoming the protagonist of today's news, and at the press conference that day, Prato and his party were questioned by reporters for more than an hour before they reluctantly let go. And the next day, the Prato Club received an interview request that the old phone in the office did not stop for a day.

Almost all Italian sports newspapers such as Torino Sport, Milan Sport, Roma Sport and Corriere della Sera have published or reprinted the news of the match.

"The biggest dark horse in the history of the Coppa Italia!"

"Prato beat the whole team with Inter Milan alone!"

"Be careful! Blue Flag Guards from Tuscany. ”

All sorts of exaggerated headlines seemed to put Prato on the altar at once, and the name given to Prato by the newspaper "Roma Sport" became the code name that later generations often called Prato, along with another nickname.

In the media, Pesoto, who helped the team win with one pass and one shot, was named the best of the game, and his experience in the AC Milan academy was also excavated, as if he had suddenly become a talent of the new generation of Italians. Several Chinese foreign players from the Prato team have also attracted media attention, and it is rare for so many yellow people to appear in a European game in one game. In addition, Ma Minyu and Fan Zhiyi also performed remarkably in this game, so the Chinese players in Prato also have a certain popularity in Italy, and from this day on, every game day in Prato, there are always some Chinese fans from all over Italy who rush to the scene to cheer.

However, what really fermented the incident and turned January 13, 1993 into a milestone node was a brief news broadcast on the Central News Network that night.

"In the first game of the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup that ended this afternoon, the Prato team played by many players of our country defeated the Serie A giants Inter Milan, and its Chinese Olympic team player Ma Minyu scored a crucial equalizing goal, while the other two players Fan Zhiyi and Yang Chen also played the whole game as the main force and performed well."

As early as the beginning of 1988, CCTV began to broadcast the wonderful goal highlights of the Serie A league, and in 1989, it began to record the entire Serie A game every other week. It can be said that Italian football is the first window for Chinese fans to see the world. In the past few years, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus ...... These giants in Serie A are a few treasures in the hearts of Chinese fans, and of course, their fame is also rising. There were even a number of die-hard fans of AC Milan, Inter Milan and Fiorentina (Juventus has always been unlikable among Chinese fans because of their style), so as soon as this news came out, it was like a thunderbolt on the ground, which shocked Chinese fans.

This is evident from the 7.13% rating of the Prato match between Prato and Inter Milan broadcast on CCTV a week later, showing how much of an impact the match has had in the minds of Chinese fans. You must know that the ratings of the Barcelona Olympics that ended last year were less than 5%, and the average rating of the nightly central news broadcast was only about 10%.

The Prato club has become completely popular in China, and the Chinese have really fully exposed the charm of modern football in the past few years when CCTV began to broadcast Serie A. In the past few years, the number of Chinese fans has doubled exponentially, and those years are also the most fanatical and obsessive period for Chinese fans.

And this time, in addition to the Prato club, there is also the "Sports Weekly". After the CCTV news was broadcast, fans across the country began to look for news of the Prato club all over the world, at this time there was no network, and communication at home and abroad was not as convenient as in later generations, everyone understood the information or through mainstream media such as newspapers and television, and when most of the domestic media were still ignorant of Prato, "Sports Weekly" had already opened several columns, and even long newsletters were sent several times. As a result, the "Sports Weekly" also became popular, and the sales volume of the new issue rose by 20%, exceeding 300,000 copies.

This situation made countless domestic newspapers red, so then Prato fans found that the Ventino training base, which usually hardly sees media reporters, suddenly has many more long guns and short guns, especially Chinese reporters with black eyes and yellow skin. Some powerful newspapers in China have even sent resident reporters from the "Sports Weekly". This made the Italian players of the Prato team joke with Yang Chen and others, thanks to them, they have become international stars.

In this case, CCTV also complied with public opinion and won the broadcast rights of the second game between Prato and Inter Milan, and after half a month of fermentation, before the start of the game on January 27, the ratings of advertising time alone reached 8.64%.

The 85,000-seat Meazza Stadium also reached more than 80% attendance on this day, considering that Inter Milan's home attendance has long been less than 50% since its poor record this season. Naturally, the contribution of Prato fans is indispensable, and the Prato City Hall even had a day off today, but more of them are Chinese fans. In addition to the Tuscany region where Prato is located, the largest Chinese population is the Lombardy region where Milan is located, and the two amnesties in 1986 and 1990 have allowed Italy to pour a large number of Chinese population, according to official statistics, there are more than 150,000 overseas Chinese with legal status alone, and there are about 35,000 in Lombardy.

Chinese fans, along with Prato fans, have turned Meazza almost into Prato's home stadium, and the Chinese have found another center to hold them together in the distant European Apennine Peninsula.
