PS1: Yesterday I was busy at work late, and I didn't have enough time to code words, so today's update is only written now.

PS2: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

PS3: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verify that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Due to Zhuang Mingge's matchmaking relationship, the Italian Football Association and the Japanese Football Association have launched all-round cooperation in various fields related to football at an early stage, and have established a fairly stable cooperative relationship.

For example, in terms of player exchanges, the Italian Football Federation offers 30 free trial places to the Japanese side every year, which can be allocated to players under the age of 16 who they have selected from the country. As for the Italian Football Federation, these young players will be sent to Fiorentina and Milan, the top giants in Italy, for a year of professional training, so as to improve their football skills, so that Japanese football can learn advanced techniques and tactics from Europe at close range. So far, this cooperation between the two football associations has lasted for two full years.

In return for the Italian Football Federation's generosity of not taking a single lira from it, the Japanese Football Federation has spared no effort over the years to provide a variety of support to the Italian Football Federation, from competing for official sponsorships of Serie A, to providing sponsorship fees for Italian leagues at all levels, to being a strategic partner of the Italian Football Federation to help Italy develop its football market in East Asia. This mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation model has benefited both sides, and the Japanese side has taken this opportunity to further strengthen their cultivation of football reserve talents, laying a good foundation for the future development of Japanese football. Italy, on the other hand, has received a lot of sponsorship from Japanese companies and companies, and by the way, it has further expanded the Asian market, which has made the development of Italian football overseas markets a big step forward.

By the way, Zhuang Mingge has not considered using his huge influence in Italian football to help Chinese football also train a group of hopeful stars by the way, but unfortunately, the Celestial Football Association's eyes have made Zhuang Mingge's painstaking creation of this opportunity come to naught - in the face of the olive branch extended by the Italian Football Association, a certain executive vice president did not even hold a discussion meeting under the advice of a certain current head of the national team delegation. Without hesitation, he rejected the Italian Football Association's proposal! (Note: For some well-known reasons, this is the only way to avoid the threat of the river crab god.) The reason for the refusal was simply because the Italian Football Federation did not agree to give them a request for a player training fee, and was only willing to provide young players in the Celestial Empire with a free trial in Italy to get in touch with advanced European football.

As a result, in the absence of benefits and political achievements, this cooperation of the Italian Football Association was undoubtedly firmly rejected by the Celestial Football Association!

This result made Zhuang Mingge speechless, he didn't expect that this organization, which had made countless jokes in his previous life, would still be able to ask for money in this kind of thing, regardless of the long-term benefits that this kind of exchange can bring to the development of football in the Celestial Empire. "I'll it, how greedy these people must be, they can even send domestic players to Italy to participate in free training can be cheeky to ask for a so-called 'player training fee', and we don't want to introduce their players, where did this training fee come from!" This was when Zhuang Mingge mentioned the matter to Karin and Rebecca after learning the ins and outs of the matter through some personal connections. An evaluation of this layman and money-hungry Football Association.

After this incident, Zhuang Mingge no longer planned to help the Celestial Empire develop football through official channels. Because he has realized that with such a layman commanding an insider, Yelang is arrogant and resting on his laurels, and no matter what he intends to do, his efforts will be in vain, because these official organizations that do not get enough benefits and political achievements will never agree to him doing so.

Now let's move on to the events between Italy and Japan.

Due to the close communication between the two football associations at the official level, in this case, the Japanese side, as one of the organizers of this World Cup, has given Italy a lot of unknown preferences. For example, Italy's three group games in this World Cup are all arranged to be held in Japan, and the cost of room and board is all paid by the Italian Football Association's sponsors in Japan, so they don't have to worry about anything at all.

Moreover, Italy has been very particular about the choice of venues for these group stage matches. The first match against Croatia was played in Ibaraki, a satellite city of Osaka, and Italy's training camp for the World Cup was chosen in Osaka, an arrangement that would allow Vieri to minimize the fatigue of the journey and put them in a better mental state to meet the Croatian challenge. It's a pity that Zoff's poor pre-match setup and on-the-spot command messed up the Japanese Football Association's good intentions.

Looking at the upcoming second round of group games against Ecuador, although it is scheduled to be played in the Hokkaido city of Sapporo, this arrangement is obviously more difficult for the Ecuadorian players - not to mention, the huge seasonal difference between the northern and southern hemispheres alone is enough to make these Ecuadorian players who are accustomed to their home environment on the plateau drink a pot.

On the other hand, the Italian players were much less affected, mainly because the climate in Sapporo was relatively cool and pleasant at this time of June, so it was clear that the Italians were more accustomed to the climate than the Ecuadorian players, who were still struggling to adapt to the traditional summer in the northern hemisphere.

In addition, considering the huge popularity and large number of loyal fans that Italy has accumulated in Japan over the years, it has almost become half of Italy's home stadium, so Italy has already had a huge advantage in terms of timing and location before the game even starts!

As for Ecuador, who are completely inferior in these two games, I am afraid they can only work a little more on the human side, or pray to God that Zoff, a rookie, can continue to make mistakes in this game. After all, Croatia were able to beat Italy in the opening game thanks to Zoff's mistakes in the formation and Jokic's own overall tactics.

In order to win the game with Ecuador, the Italian coach simply gave up the five-three-two formation he has insisted on in the past two years, and chose to change the formation of four-four-two, intending to strengthen the team's control in the midfield through guò in this way, so as to firmly grasp the initiative of the game, and finally use better overall strength to defeat their second opponent in the World Cup and get these extremely valuable three points!
