Volume 1 The Gamer in Portugal Chapter 75 The TV Polemic (Preface)

The audience was packed, and there were no anxious and expectant eyes.

Two rows of red backrest sofas, more than a dozen camera positions.

The bright ceiling lights suddenly went out, and the stage LED screen, which had been silent for a long time, flickered.

A chasing light lit up from the ear, and the blonde TV host strode to the center with youthful steps.

"Powerful or commoner? Experts or grassroots? Insider or layman? I believe that all the viewers who are watching this show hope to find the answer in their hearts in today's program. ”

"I'm the host, Alice Latik. Next, I would like to invite my partner today, the former European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year - Luis Figo! ”

Hearing this name, whether it is the audience at the scene, or the audience on TV and the Internet, they can't sit still.

They used the fastest speed to inform the people around them of the news.

For a time, the ratings of Portuguese national television have reached 70%, and even some TV stations that are broadcasting other programs have also chosen to broadcast in real time.

It can be said that at this moment, almost all Portuguese people watched this show.

"Whether it's the powerful or the grassroots, I don't know much about this. But as a former professional footballer, I still believe that football is a highly specialized field, and it is not something that can be coached just by watching a few games. ”

Figo's words were straight to the point, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he stood in the camp of the expert faction, which made the majority of fans a little disappointed.

But he went on to say, "But don't forget, is Simon King a layman? In my opinion, I'm afraid not. ”

Alice said at the right time: "Why do you say that? ”

Figo smiled: "Because of this young man, he has a certificate as a professional coach, which is enough to show that he is not a layman. ”

"But he didn't play professional football. As far as I know, even Jose Mourinho, when he was younger, played in the lower leagues, and his father was also a very professional goalkeeper. ”

"You're right Alice, and I think that's what this show wants to talk about today. Jose Mourinho has never played but he has been working alongside the manager. And what about today's protagonist, Simon King? He's just playing a game, so ...... Let's sit quietly and invite the representatives of both sides of the debate to come out! ”

Simple dialogue, singing and harmonizing words.

The audience immediately understood the identity of the two hosts, they did not support experts or laymen, they were just creating the atmosphere of the show.

But the audience's disappointment did not last long, because the first person to appear was none other than the national actress - Daniela Manshiwo.

As usual, this beautiful woman, always dressed like a girl next door on formal occasions, immediately attracted a round of applause.

Behind her, there are two middle-aged men, Nuno, who works as a truck driver, and Charnock, who works as a supermarket cashier.

Immediately afterwards, representatives of the expert camp were also invited.

There are four people in total, namely:

Former football star - Paul Futrey.

Former vice-captain of the Portuguese national team - Darba.

Current Professor of Sociology at the University of Lisbon – Knoll.

People's representative, secondary school teacher - Kohler.

Since Simon King was not in sight, a noisy stream of inquiries was immediately heard from the audience.

Alice smiled smartly, and her teeth opened lightly.

"Please be calm, Mr. Simon King, and will come out and give his opinion when the time is right."

After stabilizing the scene, Alice looked at Figo.

Figo immediately understood: "The program team, for this debate, specially collected three questions on the Internet, the first of which is 'Is there a difference between inside and outside football'. ”

Alice said: "Next, let's go straight to the topic, first of all, Mr. Futrey from the expert camp, to give his opinion. ”

As a former superstar of Portuguese football, Futre has a high status in the hearts of the majority of middle-aged fans.

He greeted the audience with a smile and made a gesture to show his superstar style.

'As a fairly successful winger, I think there are of course inside and outside football. Otherwise, why is Cristiano Ronaldo the world footballer of the year, while most of the people in the audience can only watch the game in front of the TV. ”

Hearing this, a politician sitting in the office of the Portuguese Football Association nodded slightly.

Nani, the vice president of the Football Association and in charge of league affairs, clapped his hands and said: "Futrey is right, and the example he gave is very direct. ”

Lamela, another vice president in charge of refereeing affairs, said: "Futres has a fan base that is probably more than Figo, and with him speaking for the profession, we will win this debate." ”

Fernando Gómez, president of the Football Association, smiled and nodded, and said softly: "No matter who wins or loses, in the end it is football that wins." ”

"It makes sense, or Mr. Chairman thinks far-reaching!"

"That's true, in fact, we just want to give him some color!"

Gomez nodded and smiled: "You remember, at any time, don't associate personal feelings with work. ”

On the other side, Porto manager Sergio Conceição is sitting at the home of Gil Vicente manager Ricardo Sols.

He was accompanied by several other Super League managers who were also watching the live broadcast.

Hearing Futrey's speech, Sauls, who had been threatened by Clark, immediately had a fierce light in his eyes and hissed in his throat: "Futrey, my old teammate, you are amazing." ”

Conceição said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if this Simon King has the ability or not, but he is really popular now." ”

"Isn't it! It's so red and purple! ”

It was Paul Biletto, the head coach of the Portimonense team, who spoke.

He was obviously trying to curry favor with Conceição, and even his tone was full of flattery.

"Today's young people are really good at making trouble, but he really shouldn't use football to get on the table, that's what we value the most!"

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

Several other coaches also shouted.

"In my opinion, this Simon King is definitely a grandstanding clown."

"Isn't it! I just don't know what the Football Association means now, I really don't understand, what are they going to do not investigate Vixena's deal with Arouca. ”

"That's it, that Armando, he played poorly when he was young, I think he definitely took money, sold the team and sold points, it's really shameful."

"Don't worry, everyone......"

Conceição shook his wine glass lightly and said proudly: "Professor Noel of the University of Lisbon chatted with me for a long time before attending the show. ”
