Chapter 164 Against Osaka Sakura

On August 7, the entire Atletico Madrid team flew to Osaka, Japan on a special plane and began the club's planned "Asia Journey" in August.

Atletico Madrid Club defines the "August Asia Journey" as "promoting football culture to East Asia", but European media thinks that this is a "money-making journey". Atletico Madrid's appearance fee is 0,000 euros just by participating in a game in Japan.

"It's no wonder Atletico Madrid planned to go to Asia early on..." "Maca said sarcastically.

This is the first time that Atletico Madrid has gone to Asia since 2oo6 years. With the momentum of winning the La Liga title and the Copa del Rey championship last season, Atletico Madrid has also embarked on a commercial competition journey.

The first stop is Osaka, Japan.

Atletico Madrid set its first stop in Osaka. On the one hand, the Osaka Sakura Team invited Atletico Madrid to play a friendly match, and on the other hand, it also relates to some publicity plans of Atletico Madrid Club.

As European media said, the "Asia trip" is indeed a "money-making journey". In addition to the high appearance fee, Atletico Madrid also wants to show some commercial and sponsorship things. The very important of which is Japan's Toyota Motor. This car company intends to sponsor Atletico Madrid's jersey trademarks, but because Toyota requires young players to be sent to Madrid for training, the cooperation between the two sides has not been agreed. Another reason is that Wansheng has no intention of training young players for Japan.

In addition, it is very important that the club cooperates with Nike to open at least four Atletico Madrid stores in Tokyo and Osaka, which are specially used to sell Atletico Madrid jerseys, knee pads, football and other peripheral products. Whether it is profitable is not considered, mainly to continue to promote Atletico Madrid's brand.

This is also the main purpose, to promote Atletico Madrid and make the club more famous in Japan.

Fame cannot bring direct economic benefits, but it is very beneficial in the long run. As long as you have enough fame, the benefits will be guaranteed, and its impact and interests will be continuous.

After the entire Atletico Madrid team arrived in Osaka, they were warmly welcomed by Japanese fans. Many fans from Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya and other places came to Osaka to welcome the arrival of Atletico Madrid.

After arriving in Osaka, Atletico Madrid checked into the hotel. After resting for more than four hours, at about 4 pm, Atletico Madrid held a press conference to meet the stars.

The atmosphere on the scene was very hot. The hottest moment was the star signing and taking photos of the stars at Atletico Madrid. Two lucky fans were able to go to the stage to find the stars you like to sign and take photos as a souvenir.

Many fans shouted, hoping to get Wan Sheng’s signature, but unfortunately Wan Sheng did not participate in the event. After dealing with media reporters, he did not appear at the event.

In addition to the wins, Ozil is the most popular among Atletico Madrid. Aguero left for Manchester City, and Ozil's fame is the greatest.

In fact, it is Morris, who is over 34 years old, but as a former Golden Globe winner, he is also very popular. More than 20 fans line up to take photos with him in turn.

People like J-Rodriguez, Kevin De Bruyne, Isco, etc. are not very famous, but being able to become Atletico Madrid players is young and handsome, and has also attracted a lot of fans, especially female fans.

The only player standing on the stage was ignored was Wang Qiuming.

Wang Qiuming was very embarrassed.

There were more than 20 players on the stage, each of whom was surrounded by several people, and he was the only one in front of him. He was still a Chinese fan in standard Chinese. In other words, no Japanese fans chose to ask for Wang Qiuming's signature.

Wan Sheng was in the corner, frowned, and he didn't expect Wang Qiuming to be neglected.

But in fact, this is related to Japanese propaganda. In Japan's publicity of Atletico Madrid, Wang Qiuming's name rarely appears. However, in many Japanese fans who know Atletico Madrid seriously, Wang Qiuming entered Atletico Madrid "relying on relationships".

Wang Qiuming had almost no performance last season and naturally he would not receive much attention.

Wang Qiuming is a Chinese and is one of the reasons for being neglected. The Japanese are also somewhat resistant to the Chinese.

Wan Sheng is welcomed by Japanese fans because his ability is recognized by the whole world. In contrast, Wang Qiuming is just a player at Atletico Madrid, but he has not been able to prove himself at all.

Wan Sheng remembered this scene.

By the afternoon of the next day, before Atletico Madrid was going to have a warm-up match with Osaka Sakura, Wan Sheng said to all the players, "I won't say much about how to play this game. If you will lose to a Japanese league team, we don't need to shout any slogans to compete for the championship..."

Everyone was smiling.

They are confident in their own and the team's abilities.

Next, Wan Sheng changed the topic and said seriously, "What I want to say is an important thing!"

"Wang Qiuming!"

When Wang Qiuming heard Wan Sheng shouting out his name, he was stunned and immediately stood up.

"You are the core in today's game!"

"Ah?" Wang Qiuming was a little confused, and the others looked at each other, not understanding what it meant.

"You all should remember the signature meeting yesterday. At that time, there were several fans around you who wanted to sign, except... Wang Qiuming, this is the discrimination of Japanese fans, or they just don't believe in Qimei's ability! Qimei is a player of Atletico Madrid and a teammate of all of you. She looks down on Qiuming just looks down on our entire team!"

"So, in today's game, if you have the chance, you can pass it to Tyumen, let those damn Japanese see if they are blind... Also, try to score as many goals as possible and don't show mercy. I don't want to see the scores counted by one hand at the end of the game!"

Wansheng's face was a little hideous.

"yes……"

"yes!"

"no problem!"

"Ok!"

Wan Sheng's expression made everyone feel sad, but they all understood what it meant.

Many people have heard of the hatred between the Chinese and the Japanese before, but now they understand. Just look at the coach's appearance and know how dissatisfied with those Japanese fans.

Yesterday's signature meeting actually explained some problems - no Japanese fans asked Wang Qiuming for autographs.

Maybe it’s just because he is a Chinese? But no matter what, the boss is angry! The boss is angry, of course, he has to let those Japanese know that they are amazing!

Now is the best time to please the boss!

When walking out of the locker room, many teammates patted Wang Qiuming's shoulder and said with a smile, "Wang, come on!"

"Wang, score a few more goals!"

"Wang, I will pass it to you if I have the chance! Don't worry!"

“…………”

Wang Qiuming was walking at the end of the team and felt very excited. He didn't expect that Wan Sheng would tell others to pass more for himself, which means that he would play and let those Japanese who do not value themselves know that they are powerful.

Can you do it yourself?

Sure enough!

Thinking of the embarrassment at the signing meeting yesterday, he couldn't wait to make the game!

The Osaka Sakura Club in Japan was founded in 1957.

In 1994, Osaka Sakura won the JFL (Japanese Football Second Division) championship and was promoted to the J1 League in 1995. In 2OO1 and 2OO6, Osaka Sakura was not well-deserved and was twice landed in the J2 League, and in 2O9 season, it rose back to the J1 League in second place.

On December 4, 2o1o, Osaka Sakura team defeated Iwada Joy 6-2 at home, and finally successfully reversed the unfavorable situation of league points. They opposed several Japanese-Japan League overlord Kashima Antlers, and obtained the ticket to the 2o11 Asian Champions League with their third place in the league, creating another miracle of the team being promoted.

The history of Osaka Sakura Club is not brilliant, but they have enough investors. The club's economic situation has always been very good. Japan has always been committed to football, and major companies are willing to spend a lot of money to invest in football exhibitions.

Osaka Sakura is one of the clubs that benefit.

With enough funds to maintain sufficient strength, Osaka Sakura has gradually become a well-known club in Asia.

This time, Osaka Sakura also proposed an invitation, hoping to become the first stop of Atletico Madrid's "Asia Tour" program.

Osaka Sakura Club has made efforts to do this, while Osaka Sakura Team has been preparing for the game. They hope that European teams can see the strength of Japanese teams and also hope to see the gap between the team and European strong teams in the game.

For this friendly match, Osaka Sakura Club did a lot of publicity work, so on this day, Osaka Mayor Mayor's 6-year-old arena was crowded, and nearly 50,000 seats were seized.

It is said that more than ten times the fans have not been able to buy tickets, so they can only watch the game through TV broadcasts.

As fans entered the stadium, the atmosphere became hot.

In the radio music, Atletico Madrid and Osaka Sakura players appeared together.

This is just a friendly match, or a commercial match, so naturally there are not so many mandatory rules. The players of the two teams are still very relaxed. On the field, the captains of both sides guessed the end of the coin, and there were also the players of Osaka Sakura who greeted Atletico Madrid stars who knew and asked to take a photo together after the game.

The atmosphere of the "friendship" of the two teams is pretty good.

But when the game really started, whether it was Osaka Sakura or Atletico Madrid, every player was seriously involved in the game, and the atmosphere on the scene became popular as the game began.

Atletico Madrid only regards the game as a warm-up before the season. The team players have little experience in fighting with Asian teams, but in fact, Japanese football has always imitated European football and has no surprising characteristics.

Compared with the strength of the two sides, Osaka Sakura is not only a big gap between the players on the court, the team's overall technical and tactical abilities, but also the most basic physical fitness.

The game scene can be imagined.

Some Atletico Madrid players have not even entered the game yet, but Atletico Madrid only plays simple tactics and has completely suppressed Osaka Sakura. (To be continued.)8
