Some people may ask, Fiorentina was crowned the treble champion three years ago, the limelight is unparalleled for a while, and the development of the Japanese football market and even the entire East Asian football market is much earlier than other teams, why has it only now come to this region in the real sense of the sense of gold panning?

In fact, the Fiorentina senior management led by Zhuang Mingge has long wanted the team to come to East Asia to pan for gold. It's a pity that the two years of '96 and '98 are both competition years, and they are not suitable for holding this kind of commercial competition; And in '97, when the Four Nations Invitational Tournament and the Copa America were played, the players were exhausted to death, and the financial crisis in Asia was going on, so it didn't work out again.

All in all, out of comprehensive consideration of the players' physical condition and team performance, Zhuang Mingge and others did not take Fiorentina to Asia to play any commercial games in the summer of the previous years. After all, for all European clubs, it's the most important thing to keep the team's results. If the team's own record is not good, even if you go to Asia to pan for gold, it is estimated that no one will be willing to take care of you.

Although the two Brazilians, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos, had only been part of the Copa America in Paraguay because they had previously represented the Samba Army in the Copa America and had no intention of playing for them, Heynckes had no intention of playing them, but this was indeed the most well-staffed year for the Fiorentina first team during the summer training camp. Otherwise, when the European Championship starts next year, Fiorentina's trip to East Asia will be postponed indefinitely.

(Note: The Copa America is held at a chaotic time, and it is common to reschedule it for political and economic reasons, although since 1987, the America's Cup has been held every two years, but in 2001 it was changed to a triennial event, and then not long after, from 2007 onwards, it was changed again to a quadrennial event, which is really a strange event...... In addition, here are two interesting facts about the America's Cup, the first is that there were two America's Cups in 1959 and the second is that from 1967 to 1975, there was no America's Cup in 12 years! ）

So, on July 26, the plane carrying the Fiorentina players and members of the coaching staff, as well as a number of logistics staff, arrived at Beijing International Airport. According to the club's arrangement, in the coming week, they will need to conduct a series of commercial promotion activities in Beijing and Shanghai, and play two friendly matches against Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua, two local local snakes.

As for Inter Milan and Parma, their chosen opponents are the same as Fiorentina, Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua. However, unlike Purple Lily, these two teams only have one game to play in China, so they can all be played in a week.

In order to allow Guoan and Shenhua to have enough time to prepare for friendly matches with Fiorentina and other European powerhouses, the Football Association specially made an adjustment to the league schedule of these two teams and arranged the league to be held at another time.

Making way for the home league for a few friendly matches against European teams is something that only the bureaucratic Celestial Football Association can do......

When the Fiorentina players walked out of Beijing Capital International Airport, the reporters who had already received the news and waited in the waiting hall all night suddenly rushed up, carrying all kinds of long guns and short cannons and rushing directly in the direction of the Fiorentina players, intending to get first-hand news!

The Fiorentina players were taken aback by the momentum of the reporters, and although most of them had experienced the pre-tournament environment surrounded by reporters, they did not expect that a friendly match in China would also make a crazy scene!

And so the ensuing scene turned into a scene of helpless Fiorentina players being besieged by a horde of excited and flushed sports journalists!

Fortunately, because the Fiorentina players did not know much about Chinese, the translators who had prepared before did not follow them, and in 99 there were not many Chinese reporters, especially football reporters, who were proficient in English, so there were many players who could not understand the reporters. Therefore, despite the surprise attack from reporters, the Fiorentina players did not break any news during the interview.

In other words, they didn't understand what the reporters were asking at all, so they naturally couldn't answer.

The Fiorentina players were looking forward to this trip to China, because when they went to Tokyo to compete in the Toyota Cup a few years ago, they were very impressed by the enthusiasm and madness of the Japanese fans. Therefore, in their imagination, they must be able to get such treatment in China, which is not far from Japan.

As the Fiorentina players had predicted, when the team had a planned public training session at the Beijing Workers' Stadium the next day, the capital's fans showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of these well-known stars, waving various slogans and posters in the stands and chanting the names of their idols.

It is not surprising that this will happen, after all, although Fiorentina only won one league title last season, it cannot be denied that the Purple Lilies are indeed the undisputed champions of European football in recent years, and a mere defeat in one season will not damage its prestige.

However, what makes the Fiorentina players feel extremely depressed is that the most popular in the team is not Vieri and Da Inzaghi and others, who claim to be ** peerless (in fact, they are indeed quite handsome), but Sun Jihai, who was temporarily recalled from Ajax Club to participate in this friendly exchange match!

Looking at Inzaghi and the others with depressed faces, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and said that it was really rare to see these guys put on such a look: "I said, Pippo, what do you have to be depressed? Although your fame is indeed great, after all, this is Sun Jihai's motherland, and it must be more popular with fans. ”

Of course, this was also my motherland, Zhuang Mingge secretly added in his heart.

At the same time, Zhuang Mingge was still thinking in his heart that when he found a time in the future, he must go back to his hometown in his previous life to take a look, and by the way, he remembered the city where he had lived and lived for nearly 20 years.

However, Zhuang Mingge had no intention of going to those family members in his previous life, because over the years, he had already inquired through various means, and there was no such person as Zhuang Mingge in this world, and even those family members and relatives in his previous life seemed to have never appeared in this world.

Therefore, for Zhuang Mingge, the Celestial Empire of this world actually did not have anything worthy of his special attention.
