On November 14, two days before the voting for the first Serie A All-Star Game, the Italian Football Association was the first to announce the list of candidates for the All-Star voting and the head coach candidates.
Here I will first explain the two teams participating in this All-Star Game. I don’t know what the Italian Football Association is doing to divide the two sides of the first Serie A All-Star Game into the Italian All-Star Team and the World All-Star Team, rather than Zhuang Mingge and others at the beginning, selecting players from the Serie A team and forming two teams, European All-Star and World All-Star Teams!
That's right, holding the Serie A All-Star Game is not the idea of the Italian Football Association, but the idea proposed by Zhuang Mingge at the Italian Professional League meeting this summer. The Italian Football Association just adopted this constructive suggestion and was responsible for implementing it.
This decision by the Italian Football Association means that all players who play in the Serie A will be divided into two categories. One is players with Italian nationality (naturalized players such as Camoranesi, Deco, and Diego Milito are also included). The most popular and outstanding among them will become a member of the Italian All-Star team; the other is a world All-Star team composed of all non-Italian nationality players, with representatives such as Nedved and Barack.
In response to this, Boss Mo Da and Zhuang Mingge complained about the brainless decision of the Italian Football Association in a private conversation: "Are you trying to show off that Italian football can confront the whole world, so as to make fans in other countries feel hostile to Italy? You don't do this if you are willing to die!"
That being said, there is no possibility of changes being made. After all, the Italian Football Association has signed a contract with the main sponsor of the All-Star Game, Qatar Airways, who is responsible for hosting this All-Star Game, and wrote this black-and-white letter on the contract, while the penalty for liquidated damages is as high as 90 million US dollars!
So, with Zhuang Mingge's kind reminder, the Italian Football Association, who realized that the situation was not good, had to gather several bigwigs with considerable weight in Italian football, including Zhuang Mingge and Morati, to Rome City overnight, and humbly discussed solutions to the problem at the meeting.
After two hours of emergency meeting, Italian Prime Minister Prodi, who was present in person, made a final decision: "Since the contract cannot be changed, this time, let the whole world see the strength of our Italian football! If this is the only time, I believe that many fans of many countries will not be dissatisfied with this. On the contrary, at this time, they are likely to ignore this because of the crowded star scene. Therefore, as long as we do relevant publicity work and grasp the direction of public opinion as much as possible, we can avoid such incidents to the greatest extent."
You should know that Sky TV, a subsidiary of the international media giant Murdoch, is the largest TV broadcaster in the Serie A. If he can get online with Murdoch through Sky TV's relationship, then the Italian Football Association can ensure that the mainstream media in the international community will not deliberately seek trouble. After all, Murdoch's words are still very useful, and no matter who they are, they have to buy him three points of face. Therefore, as long as he can express his opinions on this matter, even if some tabloids want to attract attention, the direction of public opinion will not change much.
Therefore, with the joint efforts of major media, the gimmick of Italian All-Stars vs. World All-Stars did not cause much trouble among the non-Italian fan groups. For most fans, they never had the chance to see such a game. When novelty prevailed, they naturally couldn't remember to pick on it.
This is like the years when the Spring Festival Gala was just recovering. No matter what kind of program it is, it will be applauded. Now that material life is extremely rich, it is difficult for the audience to smile even if you play the Spring Festival Gala to become a living person.
Therefore, fans have a very high tolerance for the first All-Star Game. In their opinion, this is a brand new attempt, and some problems and problems in the operation are inevitable. Therefore, no one with a little IQ has spoken too much about this game. Of course, except those who make a living by trolls, after all, they rely on this ability to make a living.
At 12 noon on November 16, the highly anticipated Serie A All-Star voting officially began. Passionate fans logged into the official website of the Italian Football Association through their pre-registered accounts to create the best team in their minds!
Since this All-Star voting adopts online voting, in order to avoid malicious vote swiping, the Italian Football Association strictly checks the account review. Everyone must enter their ID number and fill out a form that is exactly the same as the information on the ID card online to get the only account belonging to them.
As for fans of countries without ID cards, such as the United States and Japan, they can register with driver's license number or social security number, so as to cast that precious vote for their favorite stars.
Before the voting, the first one was the head coaches of the two teams. On the Italian All-Star team, Ancelotti, Lippi and Capello, three local coaches, received invitations from the Italian Football Association. However, after some screening, Capello, who was most famous and most accomplished, eventually became the head coach of the first Italian All-Star team. Although Ancelotti and Lippi also wanted to sit in this position and experience it, their competitiveness was obviously not as good as Capello, who had already achieved success.
By the way, Capello is not a voluntary work. In order to get him to agree to lead this star-studded but lack of tacit understanding, the Italian Football Association paid a full 2 million US dollars in appearance.
Only a fool would refuse such a good thing by playing a game. Of course, the shrewd Capello would not make such a mistake.
Chapter completed!
