Chapter 1257 The story of the winter break (1)
PS1: This is today's update, a little late. I hope that all book friends don't care too much about the update time. I'll guarantee that I won't stop updating...
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
After being rejected by Baggio, Althani, who realized that things were impossible, immediately changed his target and sent invitations to Batistuta, Albertini and others, hoping that they would consider playing football in the Qatar League and contribute to Qatar's football construction...
As for the result... Although the people present did not make any rude moves in front of Al Thani**** out of politeness, it can be seen from the somewhat impatient eyes of these players that the Qataris' poaching action obviously did not receive the effect they expected. Compared with Zhuang Mingge's previous life, these veterans' attitude towards recruiting the Qataris clearly showed a 180-degree turn.
The reason why these veterans' attitudes have changed so much is that with the deepening of commercialization of Serie A, the financial situation of Serie A teams has improved significantly compared with their previous lives, allowing them to offer higher salaries to their players, making many veterans more willing to stay in the team than go to West Asia to make gold. In addition, the Italian Football Association has introduced various policies to require Serie A clubs to pay attention to their own players and youth training, which has led many clubs to focus on these experienced veterans who also have certain combat power and are willing to keep them in the team. (Because most veterans have obtained Italian nationality, which is in line with the Italian Football Association's definition of "national players")
In the end, Zhuang Mingge, who really couldn't stand it, came forward and took the indomitable Al Thani**** away from the stadium, which was the end of the Qataris' poaching operation this time.
In the post-match interviews and surveys, most fans expressed their satisfaction with the first Serie A All-Star Game. After all, it was so exciting that the stars who were usually the leader gathered together to fight side by side, and it was such an exciting goal battle, especially among the fans, Robert Baggio, who was extremely popular among the fans, won the title of MVP of the first Serie A All-Star Game after the game. All of these made the fans very excited.
In such an atmosphere, it is naturally impossible for the Italian media to publicly sing a counter-tone with fans. Therefore, in the past few days after the All-Star Game, the Italian media praised the Italian Football Association's decision to hold the Serie A All-Star Game, and expressed their hope that the Football Association can continue this event, like the NBA All-Star Game across the Atlantic, making the Serie A All-Star Festival a large festival for football fans all over the world!
In fact, the Italian Football Association has long had this intention without these media suggestions. Because holding the All-Star Game not only brought great attention to Italian football and Serie A, but also brought a large amount of fiscal revenue to the Italian Football Association. Countless companies have come to the door to deliver a considerable sponsorship contract, just hoping to get an opportunity to advertise in the All-Star Game.
No one will be unable to get over the money that comes to your door, right? Not to mention that these incomes are legal income, and the Football Association has no reason to refuse.
However, although the Italian media sang praises for the Serie A All-Star Game, media in other countries obviously do not fully agree with this. For example, the Germans, who have always been known for their rigor and seriousness, believe that the All-Star Game can be regarded as a feast for fans, but this kind of game does not have much substantial significance and can only be regarded as an exhibition match with a strong commercial atmosphere. Therefore, the German Football Association is not very enthusiastic about following the Italian Football Association’s so-called “Bundesliga All-Star Game” and rejected the proposal at the meeting.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the rapid decline in influence of the Bundesliga in recent years and the scarcity of big-name stars. After all, the key to hosting the All-Star Game is to have enough big-name stars to take charge. The Bundesliga is already rare, and Bayern Munich is the dominant player in Germany. Clubs such as Leverkusen and Dortmund, who are capable of causing trouble for it, have also declined in recent seasons. Therefore, under such circumstances, the German Football Association really does not have the conditions to host the All-Star Game.
The French and Spanish media were envious and jealous at this time, and they wrote articles to complain about their national football associations, asking them to learn from the Italian Football Association and hold the All-Star Game next season. Italians must not be allowed to show off their limelight and eat large pieces of meat, but they can't even drink soup.
But then again, the Spanish Football Association has the capital to hold the All-Star Game, because the La Liga has top giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as powerful teams like Valencia and La Coruna, and there are also many stars. The style of advocating offense can attract a large number of fans. However, the French Football Association is more tragic, because the situation in the Ligue 1 is not as good as the Bundesliga. Not to mention big-name stars, there is no one in the top giants...
Compared with the objective of the Germans, as well as the envy and jealousy of the French and Spanish, the English media have shown their arrogance and ignorance as always. The day after the successful Serie A All-Star Game, the FA announced that it would hold the Premier League All-Star Game in February next year, and in the interview, it was confident that this event was definitely much more exciting than the Serie A All-Star Game!
I really don’t know where the FA came from. I dare to hold the All-Star Game at this subtle time in February next year. Are they not afraid of affecting the performance of Premier League teams in the Champions League?
You know, England has always been famous for its intensive schedule in Europe. What's more, by the end of February, not only will the Premier League enter a critical period of championship competition, but the Champions League will also rekindle the war. At that time, it's really an unknown number of stars and clubs will be willing to support the FA, who made this crazy decision.
After all, the operational power of the Premier League is not in the hands of the FA. If they really don’t support them, the FA will have no way to deal with them.
As the highly anticipated Serie A All-Star Game slowly came to an end under the reluctance of fans, Italian football officially entered the annual winter break. Players participating in the Full Star Game packed their bags and went around the world to spend a late Christmas holiday with their families or girlfriends.
