Chapter 51 CCTV Program

In January 2016, the football of the Celestial Empire was extremely hot, and due to the bidding meeting for the broadcast rights of the Chinese Super League held in mid-2015, the broadcast rights of the league from 2016 to 2020 were sold at a sky-high price of 8 billion yuan. Stimulated by this sky-high copyright price, various clubs have launched a bloody arms race, and many teams have even made a budget of more than one billion yuan for the new season, a figure that only a very few giants in Europe can reach.

In addition, the Celestial Empire national team is not willing to be lonely, and on the second day when the domestic media began to hype Li Mudi's news, on January 8, the Football Association announced that Frenchman Alain Perrin will no longer serve as the head coach of the men's national football team, and the selection of coaches will be started immediately. In this way, the 27th coach in the history of the Celestial Empire men's football team could not wait for the second anniversary.

At that time, Guinness felt that he had discovered an unexpected surprise, a coincidence arranged by God to guide him to the position of coach of the national team with his newly signed coach. So he wanted to attract all the resources available to forcibly build momentum for Li Mudi, but fortunately, as a world-class predator, he has always believed in "spending a lot of money and doing big things", and the first money was obtained from a certain bigwig: it has been decided, don't toss around. As a result, the great "enthronement plan" came to an end at the first time, but the money couldn't be thrown away in vain, so the big guy helped contact the Tianchao CCTV "World Football" column group and negotiated an exclusive interview.

Since the start of the program on November 27, 2000, "World Football", a TV program with the slogan of "the purest football, the highest level of enjoyment" and the main content of reporting the latest events and news in international football, has quickly won the warm welcome and love of the fans of the Celestial Empire. Several of the sections "Absolute Superstar", "TOP10" and "Watching Ball and Listening to Songs" are also rare plans to this day, and those choreographers and directors were simply talented, literary and thoughtful, and all kinds of touching golden sentences left a deep impression on the audience.

Li Mudi is also a loyal viewer of this show - it is the previous program that has not been revised, when Duan Xuan was still the host, and he still has the episodes of "Absolute Superstar" of Baggio, Barty, Raul and Maradona on his mobile hard drive. However, at the end of 2015, Duan Xuan also left CCTV after Huang Jianxiang, Liu Jianhong and others, and joined the Banana Project Sports Company and served as CEO at the invitation of the national husband Young Master Wang. "World Football", which has changed the host and some behind-the-scenes personnel, has become more and more unsightly, and a lot of time is occupied by the live matches of various leagues, and the special thematic content in the past has not been able to make a single one for many issues.

But in any case, this column is still the leader of the football TV programs in the Celestial Empire, and the ratings are still very impressive, and being able to be on this platform can indeed help Li Mudi further enhance his awareness and influence in China.

In all fairness, as the current manager of Castile, it is almost impossible to do a feature on this show, at most you can get two or three minutes of appearance time in the roundup news. However, now CCTV has lost the broadcast rights of La Liga, so it has taken the initiative to remove any news reports related to it, and the Bundesliga is in the winter break and there are no events, and only the Premier League, Serie A and a few French League 1 games are not enough to fill the broadcast time, so they can only engage in a few more other sections. Coupled with the coordination of the big guy found by Guinness, a topic about the Celestial Empire's coaching in Europe was finally decided, and the duration reached eighteen minutes.

On Thursday, January 14th, the filming team of "World Football" came to Spain this time and arrived at Valdebebas, the training base of Real Madrid, with a group of four people, led by Zhu Xiaoyu, the "voice of football". This gentleman, together with Liu Jia and Wang Tao, served as a behind-the-scenes commentary, and supported many CCTV sports programs with a magnetic voice, which was deeply loved by the audience.

In October last year, when Lin Liangming had just come to Madrid for three months, the "World Football" program team produced a short film about his daily life, but at that time, he did not send someone over, but found the picture taken by CCTV's reporter in Spain, and dubbed it back to China. And this time, Zhu Xiaoyu, one of the "trump cards", was able to send thousands of miles to shoot, and obviously attached great importance to Li Mudi in terms of attitude.

Zhu Xiaoyu is 4 years older than Li Mudi, has been in the capital from birth to work, and is a top student in the Italian Department of Capital Foreign Chinese University. is very enthusiastic and capable, and found a tacit understanding with Li Mudi after only talking for more than half an hour about the filming of the show.

The program is still a little new in nature, and the camera will be in addition to the previous third-person shooting, supplemented by the Castile coach's selfie to record his life and work experience in Madrid for a period of time. In other words, the film will have two commentators: Zhu Xiaoyu and Li Mudi himself.

At seven o'clock in the morning on January 15, the filming of this show began with Li Mudi washing up after getting up. followed by an outdoor jogging morning exercise for the audience, you must know that since graduating from high school, Li Mudi has never had a special physical exercise, and this time for the sake of personal image, he had to pretend to be under the coercion of his agent Gines. After returning from exercise, it is a simple shower, and then go straight to the cafeteria of the base.

In Spain, the players have an outrageous nine o'clock for breakfast, the Under-19s eat at 10 o'clock, and the coaching staff have a pre-training meeting, so it is slightly earlier. But there are very few people like Li Mudi, who sat in the restaurant a little after eight o'clock. After all, he has only been over for half a year, and he has not yet adapted to the "laziness" of the Spaniards in terms of living habits.

In terms of personal life, it was all selfies, and then the team training became a normal shooting. Because it is the broadcasting agency of the Celestial Empire, it will not cause problems such as tactical leakage, so the club generously opened the right to shoot to the film crew, but the staff of the sports department need to accompany the whole process during the filming process, and the subsequent editing must be reviewed by the public relations minister Butragno before it can be played.

The next day, Castilla sat at home to face Socuerramos in the 21st round of the league, and "World Football" also received special permission to get a special shooting position next to the coach's box.

On Saturday, January 16, at 19:00, the match started on time.

Castilla's starting line-up for this game: goalkeeper Yáñez, right wing-back Forlan, central defenders Hector and León, left-back Tejero, central midfielder Toro, Odegaard and Febas, right winger Alvaro, left winger La Left, center Mariano. The formation was adjusted to 4-3-3, with no special forward midfielders in the midfield, and Kuchi, who had just joined for five days, was on the bench.

The first meeting between the two teams this season was in the third round of the league, when visitors Castilla won 7-1 thanks to Mbappe's five goals. Returning to his home stadium this time, Li Mudi naturally did not want to miss a good opportunity to boost the team's morale, even if the opponent is now in fourth place in the league, and his recent performance is very good.

The visitors were defensively oriented, with a 4-4-1-1 formation that was clearly deficient in attacking prowess, while the injury absence of main centre-back Garcinto reduced the ability of the backline to head the ball a lot.

Sure enough, Castilla, who formed a siege at the beginning, successfully scored in the seventh minute, and the home team successfully intercepted the opponent who was preparing to organize an attack in the backfield, Odegaard's long pass from the back was passed by Mariano's header to the vicinity of the penalty area, and Alvaro, who was inserted, took advantage of his speed to shake off the defender to form a single knife, and shook the goalkeeper who shook the ball into the empty goal, and the score became 1-0.

In the 23rd minute, the home team failed to break through in the middle of the continuous field, transferred the ball to the side, right-back Forlan inserted a one-two with Fabas in the backfield, crossed after the bottom, pulled left in the penalty area, Mariano and Alvaro outflanked three points, and finally pulled left at the back point to grab the landing point under the cover of teammates, and rewrote the score on the field with a header that he is usually not very good at, 2-0.

Castilla, who had a two-goal lead, slowed down their attacking momentum a bit, using skillful technique in midfield to keep the ball firmly at their feet and reduce physical exertion. Sokueramos' players did not take the opportunity to press and steal the ball, and still focused on solid defense.

However, the passive defense still could not prevent the goal from being penetrated again. In the forty-third game, the corner kick from the left side of the home team was pushed out of the penalty area by the opposing player, Fabas stopped the ball and dialed it to his teammates on the side, Toro shot directly from a distance, the ball hit Leon's ass and refracted, although the goalkeeper was shaken to the ground, but the ball failed to drill into the net, but hit the post and bounced to the left. Just when the visiting players and coach were lucky to escape, Odegaard, who had just taken a corner, received the ball two steps outside the line of the small penalty area on this side and immediately pushed it with the arch of his right foot. The angle between the starting position and the bottom line was only about 20 degrees, but the ball still managed to run into the goal, 3-0, and the game completely lost its suspense.

At half-time, World Football was denied access to the dressing room, as it was a club tradition and it was impossible to make an exception for them.

The situation in the second half was still in the hands of Castile, and Li Mudi, who was in a good mood, also chatted with Zhu Xiaoyu next to him, providing a lot of material for the photographer.

After Mariano made it 4-0 with a long-range shot in the 55th minute, Li Mudi replaced Toro with Kuchi and began to practice the new formation. Judging from the effect on the field, there is indeed a lot of rustiness in the cooperation between the new signings and teammates, and there are obviously more mistakes in the front court, but the tactical arrangement of using Mariano as a fulcrum and Kuchi hiding behind him has also had some effect, once the latter gets the ball at the edge of the big penalty area, he can always use his personal ability to bring threats to the opponent.

The time came to the seventieth minute, and just when Solari recalled Lin Liangming, who was warming up, according to Li Mudi's instructions, and was about to replace him, an accident occurred on the field. Alvaro was kicked in the calf by an opposing defender when he broke through, and it looked like it was in pain, and the team doctor rushed up to do emergency treatment. The Castilla boss didn't risk him on the pitch and replaced Alvaro with Cedras, the last substitution for the home side. Zhu Xiaoyu and the photographer on the side were a little frustrated that Lin Liangming could not appear.

In the final moments, Mariano once again broke through the opponent's city and fixed the score of the game at 5-0.

According to the previous plan, after this league, the program will be recorded, and Zhu Xiaoyu will seize the time here to sort out the editing and send it back to China, so that it can be broadcast in Monday's "World Football". However, because most of the content filmed before was related to football, lacking elements of daily life, and Lin Liangming was not able to be filmed, so after everyone urgently discussed and then made an application, it was decided to extend the program time, divided into two parts, and the content of the lower part was recorded for a few more days until the midweek Fed Cup game.
