Chapter 21 Popularity

Zeng Baotian is a native of Wenzhou, ZJ came over in the mid-80s, and now Prato has opened a small leather goods factory, specializing in using the leftover scraps of Italians to make "international famous brands", and then send them to China. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in recent years, there have been more and more people who know goods in China, and it has become more and more difficult to do business. The main reason is that the quality of the material is getting higher and higher, and the high-end leather itself is very sought-after in Italy, even the mid-range leather is difficult for him to obtain. He still relied on acquaintances and met a large furrier in Annabella, so that he could occasionally get a little "high-end goods".

So every time I chatted with this Mr. Rahman, he always accompanied him carefully, but most of the time people also ignored him with a cold face.

However, today Rahman took the initiative to chat with him, "Mr. Zeng, did you watch the game a few days ago?" It's so exciting, a genius like Chinese Yang is not very common in your China, right? ”

Zeng Baotian is a person who is immersed in business, and is not interested in any sports at all, but in the country of Italy, people talk about art and football the most, so he has also made up a lot of common sense in this area. But he really didn't know who the "Chinese Yang" in Laman's mouth was, so the conversation that followed basically belonged to the situation where Raman was talking endlessly, and he was stumbling and barely coping with it.

When Zeng Baotian walked out of the villa of the Laman family, he only felt sweaty. However, when he returned to the factory, the first thing he did was to ask his secretary to buy a ticket to Prato's next game.

Mu Yuanfeng is a second-generation local Chinese in Prato, and after graduating from university, he joined the city hall as a clerk. But because of his Chinese face and cowardly and timid character, he was often bullied by his colleagues, and almost the most tedious and troublesome work was assigned to him, and he often instructed him to buy things and let him have a treat, which made Mu Yuanfeng's heart full of resentment.

However, his introverted and withdrawn personality makes him have no friends, and the only way to vent is to go to the bar to get drunk.

As soon as he walked into the familiar bar that day, he heard a loud commotion, as if a football match was being broadcast inside. Mu Yuanfeng didn't care, he was limited to knowing the rules of football, and he didn't have much interest. However, it was a little boring to sit at the bar and drink, so he casually glanced at it.

The TV was showing a tape of the match played against Gubbio two days ago. In the video, Mu Yuanfeng was surprised to find that there was a yellow face among the players of the Prato team, and listening to the people next to him, this player named Yang Chen was still Chinese.

Gradually, Mu Yuanfeng's gaze was deeply attracted, with every accelerated run of Yang Chen, his heart also began to beat faster, with every shot of Yang Chen, his breathing became rapid, and finally as Yang Chen shot and scored, he also followed the cheers of the people around him.

When the game was over, he looked at the wine glass in front of him and planned whether to drink a few fewer bottles of wine so that he could save some money to watch the "China Yang" game.

Li Yougen, the owner of a local Chinese restaurant in Prato, was apprenticed with his uncle, but after his uncle returned to his hometown, he kept the restaurant for himself. With his good skills, he ran the restaurant prosperously, and even got a wife who was nine years younger than him.

However, running a restaurant is a diligent business, there is something to do every day 365 days a year, and it is common to get up early and go dark, and it is needless to say that it is hard. Fortunately, although his wife is a lot younger than herself, she is a virtuous and sensible person, very considerate of herself, and accompanies herself in the restaurant every day, rain or shine, and finally makes the restaurant bigger. Now when it comes to "Lee Kee" in Chinatown, it can be said to be one of the best signboards. He finally relieved himself of the responsibility of the kitchen and became the shopkeeper.

On this day, suddenly a noisy procession of gongs and drums passed in front of his store, which was full of Chinese faces, and even many of them were old customers of Li Ji, Li Yougen hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

But the acquaintances in the team pulled him up and left: "Lao Li, let's go, watch the ball, we Chinese have come out with characters who show their faces in front of foreigners, everyone is going to cheer, and you are also going to cheer." ”

Li Yougen waved his hand again and again, and wanted to excuse himself, he really hadn't heard of football or anything: "I still have business to do...... I can't get out of my body......"

"Lao Li, you can go with Brother Liang and them, there is me in the store." Coldly, his wife in the store walked out, considerate of his hard work all year round, and intended to make him relaxed.

"Isn't there still Huiyi in the store? Don't be verbose......"

Li Yougen saw that he couldn't shirk it, and it was not easy to refute the face of his acquaintance, so he joined the team, and said with a wry smile as he walked: "I don't understand this, what are you going to see?" ”

"We don't know much about it, but if you look at it a few more times, you'll know it, and we'll never be worse than those ghosts." As they spoke, a group of people drifted apart.

With Yang Chen's outburst, his popularity soared. Prato's ball market is also on fire. Originally, Prato had a lot of die-hard fans, and this season Prato's record is still very good, and he has defeated two strong teams in League C and League 1 one in succession, which has suddenly improved the attendance of many home stadiums.

By the time of the match against Gubbio on October 18, the Stade Bisenchio was already close to 80% of its attendance.

However, after that, the Prato club did not expect anything at all. In the second match of the first round of the Coppa Italia, Prato's home match against Cosenza, tickets were sold out five days earlier than the Stadio Sencio, and the whole Prato was filled with a grand occasion of hard to find a ticket.

By the time the game started on October 21, there were still many people surrounding the Bisenzio stadium, reluctant to disperse, and many even told the staff that it would be okay to pay to stand in the aisle.

In such a situation, the local police department in Prato even dispatched police forces to maintain order, for fear of causing a group of people. And the C1 team Cosenza was also taken aback by this situation, they had never seen such a hot scene, as if it was not a match in the first round of the Coppa Italia, but the final of the European Champions Cup.

With such pressure, in the midst of the tsunami shouts of the whole stadium of Bisencio, Cosenza and Prato fought to a 1:1 draw. Although Yang Chen did not score in this game, he used his threat to force the Cosenza back to foul in front of the penalty area, creating a well-placed free kick, and it was with this free kick that Prato equalized. In the end, Cosenza was eliminated with an aggregate score of 2:1 and entered the second round of the Coppa Italia in a historic way.
