Chapter 30 Arms Sent to Japan
Fiorentina have two league games to play before heading to Japan for the World Club Cup, and in the 15th round of the league, Fiorentina will travel to Torino to play Turin, and after missing the game against Roma, Digan is back from injury.
Just three minutes into the game, Fiorentina was awarded a free-kick from the edge of the box, and Degan, of course, stood in front of the ball and curled a straight shot.
Fiorentina extended their lead in the 43rd minute when Maggio's cross from the right was met by Digan with a header from the middle, which was grazed into the net by striker partner Cavinagh.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and in the 75th minute, Digan broke through the return pass on the left, and Modric deceived the defender to score with a left-footed volley into the far corner.
Two minutes later, Maggio brought down Rosina in the box, who took the penalty himself to pull a point back.
However, in the 82nd minute, Pascual made a low cross from the left, and Degan scored twice from 6 meters in front of the goal.
In the end, 3:1, Fiorentina knocked on the door of victory again after losing to Roma.
In the sixteenth round of the league, Fiorentina sat at home and defeated Catania with a score of 2:0. In the 56th minute of the game, Montolivo got rid of the defender's entanglement and passed through, Digan cut into the penalty area and crossed, Mutu was 8 meters away from the goal and pushed the near corner to score.
In the 79th minute, after receiving a pass from substitute Hamsik, Digan picked up Stovini and goalkeeper Bisari in succession, and shot into the empty goal with the outside of his instep from 4 meters in front of the goal.
After the match against Catania, the Fiorentina squad will depart for Japan for the annual Club World Cup.
The FIFA Club World Cup, the full name of which is FIFAClubWorldCup, is an international football championship hosted by FIFA and attended by the top teams from six continents.
In 2000, FIFA hoped that the Toyota Cup would change the way European and South American clubs participated in the Toyota Cup, but unfortunately FIFA could not reach an agreement with the Intercontinental Cup organisers, so the Intercontinental Cup was allowed to continue and the World Club Cup was held as usual in 2000.
The tournament was cancelled due to sponsorship issues, and it was not until the 2005 Club World Cup that it was restarted, so it was customary to treat the 2005 tournament as the first Club World Cup, and every subsequent tournament was held in Japan.
The Club World Cup aims to allow the champions of all continents in the world to compete like the World Cup, so that clubs on all continents can also have a world level competition.
Some fans mistakenly think that the Club World Cup is an extension of the Toyota Cup, but this is not entirely true. The organizers of the tournament themselves are different, the Club World Cup is FIFA, and the Toyota Cup is jointly organized by UEFA and the South American Football Confederation.
The Toyota Cup was still in session when the Club World Cup was first hosted in 2000, and Real Madrid, the '98 Toyota Cup winners, still had a qualification.
When the 2005 Club World Cup resumed, FIFA had already reached an agreement with the organizers of the Toyota Cup to merge the Toyota Cup and the Club World Cup.
The first Club World Cup was held in Brazil in 2000 with eight teams: Manchester United, Corinthians, Vasco da Gama, Necaxa, Real Madrid, Al Nacer, Raga Casablanca, and South Melbourne.
In the end, Corinthians won the championship, Vasco da Gama finished second, and Necassa beat Real Madrid on penalties to finish third and Real Madrid fourth. However, the Club World Cup at that time was not well received by the outside world, especially at the most intensive stage of European team competition, as the Champions League champion Manchester United did not finish in the top four, and Real Madrid only finished fourth.
In 2001, the Club World Cup was originally intended to be played in Spain, but due to the bankruptcy of FIFA's marketing company at the time, the Club World Cup was stillborn.
In 2005, FIFA successfully merged the Club World Cup and the Toyota Cup, and the Club World Cup was re-emerged, and the two Club World Cups in '05 and '06 were attended by six teams, that is, champions of six continents.
Since 2007, the number of places for the host country has been increased to seven, and the format has continued to this day. For the seven teams in the Club World Cup, except for the loser in the first match, the losing side in the other matches will have to play qualifying matches with the other losing side to determine the ranking.
In terms of the schedule, the champion of the host league and the champion of Oceania will face off first, and the winner will form four teams with the champions of the three continents of Asia, Africa and Central and North America and the Caribbean, and the two winners will enter the semi-finals one by one, and the club champions of Europe and South America will directly enter the semi-finals, where they will meet the other two teams respectively, and the winner will meet in the final.
The tournament organizers will award the best player on the spot and a Toyota sedan, while the loser will compete for third place, albeit an unofficial match, but it is considered the final of the battle for supremacy in the world club.
The seven teams in this year's Club World Cup are: UEFA Champions League champions Fiorentina, Copa Libertadores champions Universidad de Quito Sport, AFC Champions League champions Gamba Osaka, CONCACAF champions, Asian Champions League runners-up Adelaide United, African Champions Cup champions Al Ahly, and New Zealand's Oceania Champions Cup champions Vitakel United.
When Fiorentina arrived in Yokohama, Japan, the FIFA Club World Cup was already underway, with Gamba Osaka, the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup winner, also playing as hosts, with runners-up Adelaide United qualifying for the qualifying round, beating Vitakel United 2-1 in the qualifying round to reach the last six.
This is the first time Degan has come to Japan, although as a Chinese has an innate dislike for Japan, Degan also has to admit that the environment of this small island country is really good.
This time to participate in the Club World Cup, the championship is a must, but the whole Fiorentina team does not have the nervous feeling that they usually have, and it looks as if they are here for tourism.
Along with the team was the team's executive chairman Pakinwa, who was clearly eyeing the Japanese market, and for the next two days, Fiorentina's training was completely public, and at Parkinwa's request, the Japanese wanted to come to see Fiorentina's training, and even needed to buy tickets to enter the stadium.
Even so, the Japanese still flock to him, and although it is his first time coming, he has a lot of fans in Japan, and it is not uncommon to see fans wearing his shirt in droves around the training ground on these two days.
"Rod! I bet you're now more popular in Japan than their emperor! Pazzini looked at the little Japanese girls around him who kept screaming and calling Degan's name, and his tone was a little sour.
Before he came, he was worried about Japanese nightlife, but although Prandelli was a little relaxed about the team's requirements after arriving in Japan, it was simply not allowed to go out and experience Japanese nightlife.
Degan kicked the ball out of the way with a nonchalant kick: "It's a pity that their emperor can't play, otherwise, I'd love to kick his teeth!" ”
If there is really such an opportunity, Digan will never miss it, and teach the Japanese emperor a hard lesson, which can be regarded as anti-Japanese.
It's just that this can only be a fantasy.
"Rod! You seem to be very disgusted with Japan! Pazzini lived in the same room with Degan, and in fact, after arriving in Japan, he felt that Degan, who has always been very kind to the fans, completely ignored and made no secret of his disgust when dealing with Japanese fans.
Hearing this, Degan glanced at the Japanese fans on the sidelines, and immediately raised his screams by several decibels: "It's too noisy!" ”
Pazzini shrugged his shoulders to show his helplessness, and Digan didn't want to see the little girls, but the Japanese girls still moved forward one by one like moths to the fire.
Two days ago, when the entire Fiorentina team arrived in Japan, order was instantly paralyzed in the lobby of the airport, and countless fans flocked to the stadium just to be able to catch a glimpse of Degan.
With this popularity, Beckham can fight with Digan in the Fiorentina team!
Although Beckham was not qualified to play this time, he also followed the whole team to Japan, and his task was not to play football, but to promote it everywhere with Parkinwa and help Fiorentina improve its influence in Japan.
After the morning of training, it is time to relax in the afternoon, Fiorentina's first game is the day after tomorrow when they face the winner between Adelaide United and Gamba Osaka.
After taking a shower, Degan returned to his hotel room and dialed a number directly.
"Hey! OPPA! ”
Hearing this delicate voice, Degan couldn't help but smile: "Have you arrived in Japan yet?" ”
The person on the other side was Park Ji-yeon, who had made an appointment with Digan to watch the game: "Hmm! It's here, OPPA! Do you have time now? Can we meet? ”
Deegan looked at the time and said, "Okay! Come to XXXX Hotel! I'll be waiting for you right here! ”
Degan has never been an easy person to approach, but what surprised him was that he had a heartfelt affection for this little Korean girl who met in Pingshui.
After hanging up the phone, Pazzini happened to come out of the bathroom, saw the unusual smile on Degan's face, and smiled evilly: "Rod! Looks like you've finally figured it out, we're good friends, take me with you! ”
Deegan was helpless, it was obvious that this nymphomaniac had misunderstood: "Stay honest, I'm going to go out of the way!" ”
"Hey! Rod! That's not enough friends! Pazzini grumbled.
Deegan glared back at him, "Be quiet! Jen Paul! Beware of my fiancée telling you about some of the things you did in Florence! ”
When Pazzini heard this, he quickly raised his hand in surrender, and then watched Digan change into casual clothes and go out, muttering, "What a stingy!" ”
Deegan went downstairs, and after not waiting long in the lobby of the hotel, Park Ji-yeon arrived, and after looking around for a while, the little girl finally found her target, cheered and ran over.
“OPPA!”
Seeing that Park Ji-yeon was alone again, Di Gan couldn't help but feel helpless, and took Park Ji-yeon to the side and sat down: "Why did you come alone again?" ”
Park Ji-yeon smiled innocently: "OPPA! This time I sneaked out again! ”
Now Park Ji-yeon's English is very slippery, and it is not a problem to communicate with Digan at all.
Digan listened, obviously knowing what Park Ji-yeon meant by "sneaking away", and took Park Ji-yeon to register a room in this hotel.
Park Ji-yeon looked at the luxurious decoration in the room, and her saliva was about to flow: "OPPA!" Actually~~~~ Actually, as long as I have a bed to sleep in, it's fine! ”
Di Gan smiled and knocked on Park Ji-yeon's head: "How can you say that you are also 'tricked' to Japan by me, I can't treat you badly!" ”
Park Ji-yeon hugged her head, looked very painful, and said: "It's not a lie, I originally wanted to come over together, but her parents didn't agree, so I was smart, I didn't tell my family at all, I just bought a ticket and came over." ”
When Di Gan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, if this is the case, he will be Park Ji-yeon's nanny until the end of the game, but I don't know what happened to Lu Dao's girl's family.
"Ji-yeon! Call your family and tell you that you're safe, or I'll send you back now!" ”
Despite her reluctance, Park Ji-yeon did it honestly, and Deegan also explained to her mother through Park Ji-yeon's translation, and then after a lot of apologies, she finally reassured the old man.
What's next?
Before Degan could think about it, he heard Park Ji-yeon's stomach ringing with a protest sound.
Degan smiled bitterly, this girl is really hungry!
took Park Ji-yeon out, and by the way, I took a travel guide at the door of the hotel, and according to the above introduction, I found a restaurant, although the menu was in English, but the meaning Di Gan couldn't guess, so I could only order a lot according to whether the picture was good-looking or not.
Then it's time for Park Ji-yeon to perform, this girl doesn't look tall, but she eats a lot of food, and a table of messy Japanese food, not long after she is older, she actually filled her stomach.
"Ugh!" Park Ji-yeon stroked her little belly and burped with satisfaction, "OPPA!" Thank you ~~~~ uh~~~~~ hospitality! ”
Di Gan felt a very exaggerated bead of sweat slip down, and took a sip of tea to cover it up: "That~~~ Zhiyan!" Although it is time to grow the body, it is better to eat less! ”
Park Ji-yeon laughed: "OPPA! It's okay, my mother said, you have to eat more to have a good body, anyway, I won't get fat no matter how I eat! ”
Digan listened, and suddenly thought of something: "The last time I called, I heard you say that you have signed a contract with a brokerage company now, what?" Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry? ”
Park Ji-yeon nodded vigorously: "Hmm! OPPA! It's my dream to be a star! ”
There is another reason, Park Ji-yeon did not say that she chose to be an artist, a big reason is because of Di Gan, although she is still ignorant about some aspects, but she feels that if she becomes an artist and becomes a star, she will be more confident when she stands in front of Di Gan.
Before the meeting, Di Gan still thought about persuading Park Ji Yeon to dispel this idea, but after the meeting, he couldn't say it, the choice of life path is everyone's freedom, and Di Gan doesn't want to be a saboteur.
After eating, the two people, one big and one small, wandered aimlessly around the city of Yokohama, which is the largest trading port in Japan and is quite prosperous.
Park Ji-yeon is only fifteen years old, and it is the time to love to play, and now that there is no one to restrain her, and she is accompanied by her idol Degan, she is naturally happy.
Neither of these two people noticed that along the way, there were more than a dozen cameras staring at the two of them all the time, and before Digan and Park Ji-yeon returned to the hotel, these photos had already been spread on some networks.
A mysterious woman has appeared next to Degan!
Since breaking up with Irina, Digan's love life has been blank in the past few months, and now a woman suddenly appears by Digan's side, which naturally has to attract the attention of countless people.
In Italian football, a big star like Degan has never lacked a female companion around him, whether it is a single-minded person or a prodigal son in love, women are the spices around these stars.
is such an absolute outlier as Degan, although over the years, he has also been jealous enough by many men, first Argentine sexy supermodel Belém, then Canadian rock diva Avril, and before that, Russian supermodel Irina, but it seems that Degan's mind is not on women at all.
Compared to Inzaghi, Vieri, and Koko, who are prodigals in love, Degan is honestly like a good baby.
It's no wonder that some tabloids once suspected Degan's sexuality.
Now that a woman has appeared next to Degan, this has naturally attracted people's attention.
Deegan has found a new love again?
This news caused many women who aimed at Degan to wail, Deegan is a veritable diamond king in the football world, as long as he can be next to Degan, fame is 100% of the thing.
But those photos on the Internet shattered the fantasies of these wild bees and butterflies.
Digan and Park Ji-yeon were still unaware of what was happening on the Internet, and when the two of them returned to the hotel, they sent Park Ji-yeon back to the room.
Deganco had never accompanied a woman shopping, and after a whole afternoon, he was so tired that he was about to fall apart, and finally returned to his room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Pazzini looking at him with a malicious expression.
"Rod! You're really not a friend! ”
Digan was stunned for a moment, and watched as Pazzini pushed the laptop in front of him, and the photos on it were secretly taken when he and Park Ji-yeon were shopping.
