Chapter 571: Defending the Title
PS1: I feel like it's better to ask you first, if we let the protagonist let Ma Mingyu and Hao Haidong also operate the older generation of Celestial Empire internationals to Europe, do you have any comments? If you have ideas or build yƬ, please leave a message in the book review area, thank you~
PS2: Of course, it's okay to be like the later batch of cheating goods, and I'm not so desperate to get a bunch of waste to Europe......
PS3: New week, I hope you will support a lot, the more recommended votes or something, the better, thank you~
Zhuang Mingge, who was still a citizen of the Celestial Empire before the crossing, had a considerable antipathy and wariness towards the Japanese in his heart. Although he has a lot of ties with the other party in the field of football because of his economic interests, this does not alleviate his resistance to Japan as a country.
The reason why he will contribute to the transfer of players such as Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidetoshi Nakata is because Zhuang Mingge, who knows history, knows that even if he does not appear, these players will appear in the top leagues in Europe sooner or later; Besides, although football and politics are inseparable, Zhuang Mingge still hopes that football, the world's number one sport, will not be affected by too many political factors. So he didn't have too much disgust with these transfer operations.
However, this time Saburo Kawabuchi's request was a bit excessive in Zhuang Mingge's opinion.
"Chairman Kawabuchi, what do you mean by asking us to open a football school in Florence in Japan?" To be honest, when Zhuang Mingge heard Saburo Kawabuchi's request, he was stunned, and said in his heart What kind of calculation is the other party playing?
"That's right, Chairman Corleone." Saburo Kawabuchi said with a smile on his face, his attitude was called a respectful and respectful, and he didn't know how kind this old man really thought, "If you are short of funds in this regard, we can also be responsible for raising funds for the opening of football schools by the Japanese Football Association, and you only need to provide the corresponding technology and personnel." ā
Hearing this, Zhuang Mingge didn't know what kind of calculation the Japanese Football Association was playing? It's not the same thing they did in the previous decades!
If it was to build a football school in another country, such as the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire and the Celestial Empire, Zhuang Mingge would not think much about it and directly agreed. Because even if they agreed to build a school there, those high-ranking officials and lords would not have any idea of learning, and at most they would report this news as a political achievement.
But this part of Japan is different, and people really want to steal from themselves!
Attract foreign companies to invest in Japan with good conditions and detailed contracts, and then quietly learn and steal cutting-edge technologies from them, localize them, and transform them into their own.
Now, these devils still want to play such a game with themselves in football!
Of course, it is impossible for Zhuang Mingge to agree to the other party's request, but it is not good to refuse this old customer who has a long-term cooperative relationship with him, so as not to completely stiffen the relationship between the two parties. Therefore, Zhuang Mingge groaned slightly, and found some other topics to bring this sensitive issue over quietly.
Being able to achieve the position of the chairman of the Japanese Football Association, Saburo Kawabuchi is naturally regarded as a human spirit, and when he saw Zhuang Mingge's expression, he immediately reacted, knowing that the other party had no intention of establishing a football school here.
A person as shrewd as Saburo Kawabuchi will certainly not be so stupid as to force the other party to make an attitude on this issue.
Saburo Kawabuchi sighed in his heart, cheered up and continued to talk with Zhuang Mingge, after all, Japanese football is still very weak now, and it is not the only thing that needs the help of the other party to visit the Fiorentina president.
And Zhuang Mingge doesn't want to get into trouble with the Japanese Football Association, because he will ask the other party for help in the future, of course, this matter has nothing to do with Fiorentina and himself.
(Note: By the way, the organizer of the 2002 World Cup has been determined, co-hosted by the sticks and devils)
Therefore, although due to Zhuang Mingge's refusal, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides became a little stiff for a while, but in the following time, under the deliberate mutual compliments of both sides, the atmosphere of the talks was reactivated, and at the same time, a consensus was reached on some aspects.
For example, the previous contract signed between the two parties will continue to be executed, and the Japanese Football Association can send young players to Fiorentina for short-term training; At the same time, in order to express its "apology" for not being able to build a football school in Japan, Fiorentina will take a period of time to play a friendly match in Japan every summer for the next three years, and start a week-long summer training camp, so that football lovers will have the opportunity to interact with Fiorentina stars up close.
Of course, Florence is not obligated to host such summer camps, and the shrewd Kenyon immediately contacted many Japanese companies when he heard the news, and used a small amount of sponsorship to make the entire summer camp activities commercialized from the inside out.
Fiorentina's opponent in the Toyota Cup this time is Cruzeiro from Brazil, compared to the River Plate they faced last time, this Cruzeiro can only be said to be a dim star - at least Zhuang Mingge looked at Cruzeiro's squad and was stunned that he didn't find any familiar names on it.
This is last season's Copa Libertadores winners? How does it look more like a grassroots team? Zhuang Mingge thought suspiciously in his heart.
In the end, Ronaldo, who debuted from Cruzeiro, solved the boss's question in private: "Boss, this is how rare and strange you are, in South American football, it is common for strong teams to be beaten by upsets, because no one knows whether there will be a second Pele or Maradona who has not yet become famous on the opponent's side." ā
From Ronaldo's narration, Zhuang Mingge had a preliminary understanding of South American football.
In South American football, especially in Brazil, the kingdom of football, where talent is endless, there are many talented players who have not become famous for various reasons (opportunities, injuries, lack of appreciation from coaches, etc.), but they often have the ability to decide the outcome of a game in an instant.
Fast forward to the evening of December 6, when the other 16 teams in Serie A were gearing up for the upcoming eleventh round of the league, at the Tokyo National Stadium, Fiorentina players were warming up for the game as they approached the Toyota Cup final against Cruzeiro.
Facing the rookie Cruzeiro who participated in the Toyota Cup for the first time, the old and spicy Capello played this Brazilian team to death.
Although Cruzeiro can still reflect the average level of talent of the Brazilian team on the offensive end, it is completely insufficient in defense, and the Cruzeiro players who have not undergone much systematic defensive education rely more on individual ability to solve problems, and Fiorentina, which has Redondo and Rui Costa, the two major organizational cores of the former and the latter, is the most frustrated by this kind of team that relies purely on the individual players in defense.
Fiorentina, who were in complete control of the whole game, used quick counter-attacks again and again to make Cruzeiro's players exhausted.
In the end, with the goals of Inzaghi and Ronaldo, the Champions League champion Fiorentina defeated the Copa Libertadores champion Cruzeiro 2-0 and successfully defended the Toyota Cup!
