As the Champions League champion, Williams was able to get a very satisfactory appearance fee.

Blackburn's first stop was Yanjing in China.

Here, Blackburn will play a match against the Chinese national team.

When Blackburn Rovers first came out of the airport, the team received a huge welcome.

At Yenching Airport, nearly 3,000 fans welcomed Blackburn.

Although for Blackburn, who has won numerous championships, not to mention the welcome team of 3,000 people, even if it is 10,000 or 20,000 people, I have seen the welcome scene. Even after the league championship and the Champions League, there were 100,000 fans at the celebrations.

But when they arrived in unfamiliar China, they were surprised to see so many fans at the airport.

Even Williams, who was with the team, was smiling.

Both Paul and Williams are worried about the reaction of Asian fans. Blackburn is a European upstart, although the results in recent seasons are good, but Blackburn is not a traditional giant like Real Madrid, Milan, and Bayern after all.

But what Paul and Williams don't know is that TV broadcasts don't have a long time in Asia.

In particular, the development of European football in Asia has only been 20 years ago.

And the last decade is the time when the promotion is the fastest.

Blackburn Rovers may not be a traditional giant, but they are just in time for European football to be strongly promoted in Asia. Especially when the Premier League is strongly promoted.

Therefore, there are still quite a lot of fans in Blackburn.

Especially in China, because of Sun Jihai, Blackburn's popularity is quite high.

This time, the Champions League final has more than 200 million viewers in China. Of course, this is not an accurate data, but it is also a data compiled by the relevant departments. Even if there is some error, it will not be very large.

Even if there is a relatively large error, there is no problem with about 200 million.

In fact, Blackburn's games in China have more than 100 million spectators. In the Premier League, Blackburn's game, especially if Sun Jihai played, the audience was absolutely amazing.

If it was because of Sun Jihai at the beginning, but later found that Blackburn had good results, there were more real Blackburn fans.

Now Blackburn Rovers are Champions League winners again, so of course there are a lot of fans to welcome.

Of the nearly 3,000 fans, 60 percent are women. Needless to say, they all know who they're here for. They were all holding up Kaka's portrait and chanting Kaka's name.

Two years ago, when he came to play the Toyota Cup, the Blackburn players had already seen Kaka's popularity.

In the past two years, Kaka's popularity has been increasing.

Kaka two years ago was nothing more than a rising star at Blackburn. But now Kaka has become the best attacking midfielder in Europe. There are even media outlets that have begun to build momentum, believing that Kaka should be the Footballer of the Year this year.

After all, this season is full of dark horses.

Kaka's Champions League title is definitely full of gold. Therefore, whether it is the so-called real fans or those pseudo-fans who chase stars, the number of Kaka's fans is surging.

It can be said that the current Blackburn other players combined, it is estimated that none of them are as popular as Kaka.

As Kaka walked out, there was a burst of screams from the fan lineup. It's all the cheers from those female fans.

At this time, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans for football is still very high. In particular, the Chinese national team has just won the runner-up in the Asian Cup, and lost to the handball of the team in the final. So a lot of fans are indignant.

This time, the national team has just finished the Asian Cup, and it has not been disbanded, and it will play against Blackburn.

Sun Jihai, as the only Chinese player, will play for Blackburn Rovers in the first half and the national team in the second half. This is also a request from China's side.

George was a Chinese in his last life.

Therefore, I still have a deep understanding of the thoughts of Chinese fans. The Chinese fans are very interesting.

For example, against the national team, if you beat him too hard. If there is a score of 4-0, 5-0, and 6-0, it will be a naked slap in the face. If it really plays like this, not only will the Football Association lose face, but even many fans will feel that Blackburn has gone too far.

The Chinese have a good face.

But if you play hard or have some negative intentions, then Chinese fans will immediately criticize you for not having any intentions.

They will start scolding, inviting you with so much money, and you will deal with us like this.

So when you play this kind of business game in China, you can't make people lose face, and you can't make people think that you are coping.

Therefore, if you want to play against the Chinese national team, you must play lively.

What is Lively?

When it comes to attacking, you should do whatever you want. Take out all the performances on the training ground. Keeping fans entertained is the goal, and scoring goals is secondary.

And when defending, you must not really put your heart into it.

The Chinese national team should be given the same opportunity to play. How do you want them to be able to score and be able to shoot. It would also be better to let them score.

You have to make the Chinese fans feel that Blackburn is very attentive. And the Chinese national team is also very strong. That's how everyone can be happy.

To that end, George allowed Blackburn to play at will in attack. Even defenders such as Lucio, Sun Jihai, and Reese can participate in the attack. And when it's time to defend, it seems like you're doing your best, just make a show.

These players are smart.

They have also played many friendlies in the national team. It's really hard to play, and it's not easy to play fake.

So at the Workers' Stadium, the two sides played lively. You come and go, even the Chinese national team has many opportunities to threaten. What made Chinese fans watch was ecstatic.

Workers' Body, the ticket price is indeed not cheap at all.

Of course, it's not as good as Real Madrid, but the cheapest ticket price is generally 150 yuan. And there are 400, 800, 1,110, and even the highest VIP price is 1,800 yuan. But even so, there are still countless fans who have poured into the workers' stadium.

On the last day, there were even many fans who couldn't get their tickets and waited for scalpers to scalp their votes.

So much so that the media chanted before the game: Blackburn Rovers actually has the same charm as Real Madrid. Who would have thought that after Blackburn came to China, he would be so popular.

In fact, this has a lot to do with the Chinese media.

Because of Sun Jihai, the Chinese media has a lot of praise for Blackburn. It has also led to the exponential increase of Blackburn's fans in China.

This lively game was finally fixed at 3 to 1.

Although the Chinese national team lost the game, the Chinese fans were still very satisfied. The game was exciting, and both sides played beautifully. The Chinese national team is not weaker either, and the Blackburn players are doing their best in their opinion.

A lot of wonderful fits came out.

So the Chinese fans who were there were very satisfied. After the game, the major media also commented on Blackburn Rover. They don't think Blackburn is coping with it just because it's a business game.

Williams is smiling almost every day in China.

Because I was so surprised.

Although when George introduced Sun Jihai, he had already talked to him about the Chinese football market. But after really understanding it, Williams really believed it. It's not just tens of thousands of Chinese fans who are crazy. There are also Chinese businesses that are flocking to Blackburn players.

Especially Kaka.

Kaka is the most popular player.

Merchants on the Chinese side are also very fond of cards. Blackburn has only been in China for a few days, but Kaka has already received a lot of big advertising contracts from Chinese companies.

………… After Yanjing's match, Blackburn couldn't rest.

Because of this trip to Asia, the itinerary is full. Within half a month, I have to play five games and participate in some commercial activities. The second session will go to Seoul in South Korea, then Honhon, then Hong Kong, and finally Bangkok, Thailand.

It's almost three days to fly to a country.

When you get to a place, you have to take a day off at most, and you have to play a game. On the day off, you also need to attend some other activities. After the game, you have to fly to the next country immediately.

By the time we got to Bangkok, all the players were tired. George already felt it in the last game, the players were all tired.

Especially the players who played in the European Championships.

Klose, Alonso and Campbell are already quite tired. George took great care of them in the early games. In these games, it was just a symbolic surname to let them play. Rao is like this, they are already tired and can't run.

Even Van der Sar, as a goalkeeper, is already exhausted.

George was quite dissatisfied with this trip to Asia. Returning to England from Asia, there was no rest at all. The new season is about to be played, and with the current state of the team, the results of the new season are really worrying.

After arriving in Bangkok, George no longer cared about the dissatisfaction of the Thai side.

In the game, most of the substitutions were used. Just in the final moments of the second half, let some of the main players come on.

This made the Thai side very unhappy. Accusing Blackburn of violating the contract.

But George didn't care about that. George did what they asked him to do, and he let the main players leak their faces on the field. Do you want to let them finish the game?

As for the back of the ruffle, of course, Williams is in charge.

Half a month later, Blackburn finally came back from Asia.

Both Paul and Williams were delighted. Because in just half a month, Blackburn has rolled more than 10 million in Asia. And in addition to the visible 10 million, there are many invisible incomes, which are even more numerous.

It can be said that this half-month trip to Asia has basically achieved the original goal.

But when George returned to England, his face was completely gloomy.

The team is too tired.

A trip to Asia completely disrupted Blake's preparations for this summer. Looking at the exhausted players, George could only sigh in his heart. It's not easy to make money.

Now the players are in such poor physical condition, and I don't know how to play in the new season.
