Dear Gua
Chapter 418 Baresi Module (Daily Transition)
Because in the early 21st century, major clubs lacked experience and could not balance commercial interests with fan sentiment, repeatedly causing complaints from Chinese sponsors, major media outlets, and fans.
"Chinese people are stupid, rich, and easily taken advantage of."
"Playing with all substitutes."
"One-shot deal."
"Assembly line of overpriced autograph sessions."
"Being sloppy and breaking promises, being perfunctory to Chinese sponsors, and wasting the time of Chinese fans."
"So-and-so star is insulting to China, get out of China."
The various phenomena of the past prematurely exhausted the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.
As of the summer of 2017, except for Bayern Munich, which is the most dedicated, responsible, and focused, it is difficult for other clubs to achieve success in commercial matches in China.
For example:
On August 8, 2010, the then-red-hot European powerhouse – peak Dream Team Barcelona – arrived in the Bird's Nest in China to participate in a match.
Only a few dozen fans picked them up at the airport.
The attendance rate for the match was only 50%.
What kind of concept is that?
Messi and Ibrahimović led the Barça Dream Team to play, and the attendance rate in the stands was only 50%, which was not as good as the Chinese Super League, causing a group of scalpers to cry in the toilet.
《Messi is very dedicated, but if he can't win the World Cup, his influence in China will be very limited.》
《Barcelona's 700 million euro luxury lineup, the attendance rate is not as good as the Chinese Super League!》
《Shameless, "Children's Dream Come True" event! Barcelona showed off in front of children in disaster areas. Messi and Ibrahimović took the initiative to save the day, but the club actually drove the children off the field!》
All kinds of phenomena are just a small microcosm of the many clubs' China tours.
The conclusion is simple: judging from their behavior, most clubs just want Chinese fans to kneel down and give them money.
Therefore, in recent years, only Bayern Munich's matches have been able to achieve 100% attendance in China.
As of today in 2017, judging by actions, not intentions, Bayern Munich is the European powerhouse that respects Chinese fans the most.
Chelsea is very smart and took the initiative to learn from Bayern Munich: significantly reducing meaningless commercial "money-grabbing" activities and respecting Chinese fans.
The match ended.
The club had Tuchel, Li Kang, and the players hold up a huge banner with Chinese characters: "Thank you for the support of Chinese fans, may all your wishes come true."
This small gesture caused another tsunami of applause and cheers at the scene.
AC Milan's executives stomped their feet and beat their chests: Chelsea actually copied Bayern, how shameless! Ah! Why didn't I think of this!
The head coach Montella, who had experienced the massacre, originally wanted to walk towards the tunnel in a fit of anger, but after seeing this scene, he immediately turned around, trotted to the green field, took the hands of the Milan players, and thanked the fans at the scene.
Let's not talk about how the match content was played.
No matter which country you play in for public commercial matches to earn money, you should at least be sincere.
After a long while.
The players and coaching staff from both sides reluctantly walked towards the tunnel under the urging of the organizers.
Kanté said with a shy smile, "Li, it's so easy to partner with you."
Li Kang nodded seriously.
Why is there no increase in favorability? Nor is a bond established triggered.
But speaking of which.
He also felt relaxed playing with Kanté as a teammate.
The little black egg who purely performs the function of sweeping is simply the "ubiquitous interception king" and "map hack" in film and television works and novels.
Fast speed.
Strong explosive power.
Top-notch interceptions.
Top-notch stamina.
Extremely wide coverage.
Making the commentators exclaim, "How could Kanté be here? When did Kanté get here? Wasn't he just on the other half of the field?"
In the locker room.
Courtois took off his gloves with a complicated expression.
Morata and Willian were communicating about offensive coordination.
Hazard held a complete burger, looked at his belly, and hesitated.
Post-match press conference.
Tuchel and Montella did not over-interpret the match content.
"The atmosphere at Tianhe Sports Center is very good, and the fans are very enthusiastic."
"This is not a football desert. The enthusiastic atmosphere in the stands is beyond imagination."
Immediately afterwards.
News about the International Champions Cup rushed to the top of the trending searches.
《Great Value Tickets, Star-Studded: Chelsea and AC Milan's Full Strength Lineups Play for 90 Minutes!》
《Super Blast, Amazing Tianhe.》
《Chinese Super League Legend: My Ball Protection is Like Li Kang.》
《Chelsea's Official Social Media Account Sees a Surge in Followers.》
《Li Kang's Personal Social Media Account Continues to Rise in Popularity.》
《Although Defeated, AC Milan's Midfield Control is Far Superior to Last Season!》
The number of likes, reposts, and comments continued to rise.
-
[Is there a channel to buy Li Kang's jersey from this match? I want to collect one.]
-
[You can't buy it, Li Kang threw the jersey he wore in the match to a little fan.]
-
[I'm a new fan, I didn't watch football before, I only knew Messi and Ronaldo!]
-
[This Chelsea's full-strength lineup is a bit strong, I heard they are still buying players.]
-
[You can't see it in a friendly match.]
-
[Next week's Premier League "Community Shield Cup", Chelsea vs. "Treble Winner" Arsenal, this kind of showdown can test the team's true level!]
-
[Fun Fact: According to the rules, the teams participating in the Community Shield Cup are the Premier League champion vs. the FA Cup champion from last season. Since Arsenal won both titles, the two sides became the Premier League champion vs. the Premier League runner-up.]
The Community Shield Cup is the opening match of the Premier League season.
Held annually at Wembley Stadium.
In the last century, it was originally an insignificant warm-up match, but in recent years, as the Premier League teams have become more and more competitive, this opening match has gradually evolved into a true "battle between two strong teams, a Super Cup match."
Li Kang returned to the hotel where he was staying.
The system prompt sounded quietly.
[Ding! Mission completed: Red and Black Soul.]
[Mission receipt: You are too cruel! One day, AC Milan will return to the top of Europe!]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Milan Legend · Golden Treasure Chest.]
Golden treasure chests with other prefixes may be average.
But the words "Milan Legend" are definitely a guarantee of quality.
Li Kang glanced at the prize pool.
[Pirlo "Falling Leaf" Module (Incomplete)]
[Gattuso "Butcher" Module (Incomplete)]
[Seedorf "Maxed-Out Glutes" Module (Incomplete)]
[Inzaghi "Smell" Module (Permanent Passive)]
[...]
[Treasure chest is opening... Congratulations on obtaining: Baresi "Positioning" Module (Permanent Passive)]
[Let defense become a gentle art.]
[The nightmare of megged players.]
Another permanent passive?
Countless fragments flooded into Li Kang's mind.
After a moment.
Li Kang shook his head and reviewed it carefully.
This module cannot bring about actual combat power improvement, but it provides a choice of timing for positioning.
Baresi deserves to be the existence that allowed AC Milan to permanently retire the number 6 jersey.
Red and black smoke filled the entire room.
Various Milan legend phantoms suddenly appeared.
[New progress unlocked for "Red and Black Soul" achievement, additional effect: Trigger rate of Milan Legends increased again.]
Distant Skopje, Macedonia.
Philip II Stadium.
The crowd was boiling.
European Super Cup!
Champions League Champion · Arsenal vs. Europa League Champion · Manchester United!
Enrique vs. Mourinho!
Two old friends from Barça face off again.
