On August 7, the whole team of Atletico Madrid flew to Osaka, Japan, on a special plane to start the club's planned "August Asian Tour". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Atletico Madrid defined the "August Asian Tour" as 'promoting football culture to the East Asian region', but in the eyes of the European media, it was a 'money tour', with Atletico Madrid paying 3 million euros for a single match in Japan.

"With such a high appearance fee, it's no wonder that Atletico Madrid has long planned a trip to Asian ......," Marca sarcastically argued.

This is the first time since 2006 that Atletico Madrid has gone to Asia, and with the momentum of winning the La Liga championship and the Copa del Rey last season, Atletico Madrid has also started a commercial game journey.

First stop, Osaka, Japan.

Atletico Madrid put the destination of the first stop in Osaka, one is that the Osaka Sakura team invited Atletico Madrid to play a friendly match, and the other is also related to some publicity plans of Atletico Madrid club.

In addition to the high appearance fee, Atletico Madrid also wants to develop some business and sponsorship things, the most important of which is Toyota Motor of Japan, the car company intends to sponsor the jersey trademark of Atletico Madrid, but because Toyota requires young players to be sent to Madrid for training, the cooperation between the two sides has not been negotiated, and another reason is that Wansheng has no intention of training young players for Japan.

In addition, it is very important for the club to cooperate with Nike to open no less than four Atletico Madrid stores in Tokyo and Osaka, which are dedicated to selling some peripheral products such as Atletico Madrid jerseys, knee pads, and footballs.

This is also the main purpose, to promote Atletico Madrid and make the club more famous in Japan.

Fame does not bring direct economic benefits, but in the long run it is very beneficial, as long as there is enough fame, the income is guaranteed, and its influence and benefits are continuous.

After arriving in Osaka, the Atletico Madrid team was warmly welcomed by Japanese fans, and many fans from Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya and other places came to Osaka to welcome Atletico Madrid.

After arriving in Osaka, Atletico Madrid checked into the hotel, rested for more than four hours, and at around 4 p.m., Atletico Madrid held a press conference and a meeting with the stars.

The atmosphere was very hot, and the hottest moment was the autograph and group photo of the stars of Atletico Madrid, where 200 lucky fans were able to come to the stage to find their favorite stars to sign autographs and take a group photo.

Many fans shouted in the hope of getting Wan Sheng's autograph, but unfortunately Wan Sheng did not participate in the event, and after dealing with media reporters, he did not appear at the event at all.

In addition to Wan Sheng, the most popular in the Atletico Madrid team is Mesut Ozil, Aguero left for Manchester City, and Ozil's fame is the greatest.

In fact, it is Morris, who is over 34 years old, but as a former Ballon d'Or winner, he is also very popular, with more than 20 fans lining up to take photos with him in turn.

People like J Rodriguez, Kevin De Bruyne, Isco and others are not very famous, but they can become Atletico Madrid players, they are young and handsome, and they have also attracted a lot of fans, especially female fans.

Of all the players standing on the stage, the only one who was snubbed was Wang Qiuming.

Wang Qiuming was embarrassed.

There were more than 20 players on the stage, and there were a few people in front of each of them, but he was the only one in front of him, and there was only one person in front of him, and he was still a Chinese fan who spoke standard Chinese, in other words, there were no Japanese fans who chose to ask for Wang Qiuming's autograph.

Wan Sheng was in the corner, looking at it and frowning, he didn't expect Wang Qiuming to be left out in the cold.

But in fact, this is related to Japan's publicity, in Japan's promotion of Atletico Madrid, Wang Qiuming's name rarely appears, and many Japanese fans who know Atletico Madrid are serious, Wang Qiuming entered Atletico Madrid 'by relationship'.

Wang Qiuming barely performed last season, so naturally he will not receive much attention.

Wang Qiuming is a Chinese, which is also one of the reasons for being snubbed, and the Japanese are also somewhat resistant to the Chinese.

Wan Sheng is popular with Japanese fans because his ability is recognized by the whole world, in contrast, Wang Qiuming is only a player of Atletico Madrid, but he has not been able to prove himself at all.

Wan Sheng remembered this scene.

By the afternoon of the next day, before Atletico Madrid's warm-up match against Osaka Sakura, Wan Sheng said to all the players, "I won't say much about how this game will be played." If you're going to lose to a Japanese league team, there's no need for us to shout the slogan of fighting for the title......"

Everyone laughed.

They still have confidence in themselves and the team.

Next, Wan Sheng changed the topic and said seriously, "What I want to say is an important thing!" ”

"Wang Qiuming!"

Hearing Wan Sheng shout his name, Wang Qiuming was stunned and immediately stood up.

"Today's game, you are the core!"

"Huh?" Wang Qiuming was a little confused, and the others also looked at each other, not understanding what it meant.

"You should all remember yesterday's autograph session, when there were a few fans around each of you to sign autographs, except for ...... Wang Qiuming, this is the discrimination of Japanese fans, or they just don't believe in Tyumei's ability! Tyumen is a player at Atletico Madrid, a teammate for all of you, and to look down on Tyumen is to look down on our whole team! ”

"So, today's game, you have a chance, pass it to Tyumen, let those damn Japanese see if they are blind...... Also, try to score as many goals as you can, don't show mercy, I don't want to see the score counted on one hand at the end of the game! ”

Wan Sheng's face was a little hideous.

"Yes......"

"Yes!"

"No problem!"

“ok！”

Wan Sheng's expression made everyone feel related, but they all understood what it meant.

Many people have heard that there is hatred between Chinese and Japanese, but now they understand it, and just look at the coach's appearance and know how dissatisfied he is with those Japanese fans.

At yesterday's autograph session, it actually explained some problems - there were no Japanese fans looking for Wang Qiuming to sign autographs.

Maybe just because he's Chinese? But anyway, the boss is angry! The boss is angry, of course he has to let those Japanese know that he is powerful!

There's never been a better time to curry favor with the boss!

When he walked out of the locker room, many teammates patted Wang Qiuming's shoulder and said with a smile, "Wang, come on!" ”

"King, score a few more goals!"

"King, I will pass it on to you when I have the chance! Rest assured! ”

“…………”

Wang Qiuming walked at the end of the team, he felt very excited, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to tell others to pass the ball more specifically for himself, which meant to let him play and let those Japanese who didn't value him know that he was powerful.

Can I do it myself?

Definitely!

Thinking of the embarrassment at yesterday's signing meeting, he couldn't wait to get on the game!

――――

The Osaka Sakura Club was founded in 1957.

In 1994, Osaka Sakura won the JFL (Japanese Football Division II) championship and was promoted to the J1 League in 1995. In 2001 and 2006, Osaka Sakura was relegated to the J2 League twice due to poor results, and in the 2009 season, they were promoted back to the J1 League in second place.

On December 4, 2010, the Osaka Sakura team defeated Iwata Joy 6-2 at home, and finally successfully reversed the unfavorable situation of league points, overtook Kashima Antlers, the hegemon of several Japanese professional leagues, and won the ticket to the 2011 Asian Champions League with the third place in the league, creating another miracle of a promoted team.

The history of the Osaka Sakura Club is not a glorious one, but they have enough investors, the club's economy has always been very good, Japan has always been committed to the development of football, and major companies are willing to spend large sums of money in the development of football.

Osaka Sakura is one of the clubs that benefited.

With enough funds to operate, it can maintain enough strength, and Osaka Sakura has gradually become a well-known club in Asia.

This is also the invitation of Osaka Sakura, hoping to be the first stop of Atletico Madrid's 'Asia Tour' program.

The Osaka Sakura Club has worked hard to achieve this, and the Osaka Sakura team has been preparing for the game, hoping to show the European teams the strength of the Japanese team, and also hope to see the difference between the team and the European powerhouses in the game.

For this friendly match, the Osaka Sakura Club did a lot of publicity work, so on this day, the Osaka Mayor's Residence Land Arena was overcrowded, and nearly 50,000 seats were snatched up.

It is said that more than a dozen times as many fans could not buy tickets and had to watch the game on television.

As the fans entered the stadium, the atmosphere in the stadium was hot.

In the radio music, Atletico Madrid and the players of Osaka Sakura played together.

This is just a friendly match, or a commercial match, naturally there are not so many mandatory rules, the players of the two teams are still very relaxed, and when it comes to the game, the captains of both sides guess the coin, and the players of Osaka Sakura, greet the Atletico Madrid star they know, and ask to take a group photo together after the game.

The atmosphere of 'friendship' between the two teams is not bad.

But when the game really started, whether it was Osaka Sakura or Atletico Madrid, every player was seriously involved in the game, and the atmosphere began to heat up with the game.

Atletico Madrid only sees the game as a pre-season warm-up, and the players in the team have little experience playing against Asian teams, but in reality, Japanese football has always imitated European football, and there are no surprising characteristics.

Compared with the strength of the two sides, Osaka Sakura has a big gap with Atletico Madrid in terms of the individual ability of the players on the field, the overall technical and tactical ability of the team, and the most basic physical fitness.

The game scene can be imagined.

Some Atletico Madrid players have not even been in the game yet, but Atletico Madrid has completely suppressed the Osaka Sakura by playing only simple tactics. (To be continued.) )
